"Is that so?"
Rong Xi expressed her shock.
As the wife of a prince, she was completely unaware that the capital possessed this Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation. However, just from the name alone, the formation's power was extraordinary.
Kowloon!
Within the imperial palace stands the Nine-Dragon Wall. It's unknown whether this Nine-Dragon Wall is related to the Nine-Dragon Suppressing Heaven Array, or if it's merely a coincidence.
However, since the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation is related to dragons, perhaps she can break it.
Back in the capital, Emperor Kangxi summoned the Azure Dragon King for the sake of the carefree saintess Yan Wuyue. However, the Azure Dragon was suppressed by the Taotie, and Rong Xi almost let the Taotie eat the Azure Dragon King.
Later, they changed their minds and suppressed the Azure Dragon King in a blessed land, so that they could continuously harvest dragon meat, dragon blood, and other things.
Both dragon meat and dragon blood are highly nutritious.
Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground.
Rong Xi had eaten donkey meat before, and yes, it was truly delicious. But she had never tasted dragon meat. After the Azure Dragon King was suppressed, Emperor Kangxi, deeply moved, relinquished his throne, wanting to elope with Yan Wuyue.
Afterwards, Kangxi actually faked his death and fled the world, leaving with Yan Wuyue and Consort Hui, of the Nara clan.
Rong Xi obtained the Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree from the Nara Clan's Yanxi Palace and transplanted it to the system's blessed land. The Yin-Yang Wisdom Fruit Tree's gift almost enabled Rong Xi to advance to the Golden Core stage.
Then, Rong Xi arrived at the small town of Zichuan.
Amidst all the busyness, the Azure Dragon King was suppressed in the blessed land and was almost forgotten by Rong Xi.
Dragon meat used to make spiritual cuisine must taste extraordinary.
"Return to the manor!"
The thought of dragon meat triggered Rong Xi's foodie instincts.
As for retaliating against the Crown Prince and Suo'etu, there's no rush. Before we can resolve the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation, we mustn't act rashly, lest we alert the enemy.
On her way back to Prince Yong's residence, Rong Xi was pondering something else.
Back then, in the palace, she had Taotie take action, so why didn't the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation activate?
According to Wei Zhongxian, when the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation unleashed its full power, he couldn't even withstand a single blow. Wei Zhongxian is now a sixth-level Loose Immortal; although not as powerful as the founder of the Free and Unfettered Sect, he is still truly formidable.
When Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian was executed, and he began his life as a wandering cultivator. In such a short time, he had already reached the sixth level of cultivation. In comparison, the founder of the Free and Unfettered Sect seemed rather useless.
The founder of the Free and Unfettered Sect is now only an eighth-level Loose Immortal!
"Li Jinzhong, you say there is a Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation in the capital, but why didn't I encounter any attacks from the formation when I made a move in the palace before?"
"Master, the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation is aimed at the enemies of the Qing Dynasty."
Wei Zhongxian quickly explained that he wasn't lying. The Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation truly existed in the capital. Back then, his Eastern Depot had more than a dozen cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Unfortunately, because they were unaware of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation's existence, more than half of them were killed or wounded in one operation.
It was only after that that he went to great lengths to find out about the existence of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation.
"They hid it so well!"
After hearing Wei Zhongxian explain the whole story, Rong Xi was greatly surprised.
According to Wei Zhongxian, even the Fourth Prince probably didn't know about the existence of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation.
In the vast capital city, the number of people qualified to know about the existence of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Array can be counted on two hands.
The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Imperial Clan Court Director were definitely aware of it. As for the others, it was hard to say.
Wei Zhongxian was able to discover this information because Prince Yu, Fuquan, the head of the Imperial Clan Court, accidentally let it slip.
Otherwise, Wei Zhongxian would probably have lost his life.
These hidden, underhanded tactics are the truly terrifying ones. Because they are impossible to defend against, they are a variable.
"Then, let's put the assassination of Suo'etu on hold for now. I'll find a way to create an opportunity for you!"
Rong Xi would not abandon her thoughts of revenge simply because of the existence of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Heaven Formation. She would not directly target the Crown Prince, at least not now.
However, Songgotu must die no matter what!
After all, it was Suo'etu who spread the rumors.
The sudden influx of so many cultivators into this small town of Zichuan is likely all thanks to Suo'etu. As the Crown Prince's most capable advisor, if Suo'etu doesn't die, who will?
As for whether I wronged him?
It doesn't exist!
Some people are destined to become enemies.
Since they are enemies, they should be eliminated as soon as possible.
A spiritual practitioner speaks of following one's heart's desires, so that no attachments remain in the mind. Attachments easily breed inner demons, and inner demons are the greatest enemy of a spiritual practitioner in overcoming tribulations.
Wei Zhongxian did not return to the Yong Prince's Mansion with Rong Xi, but disappeared along the way.
Since they couldn't target Suo'etu for the time being, Rong Xi gave Wei Zhongxian enough freedom. Of course, it wasn't complete abandonment; he was still given some tasks.
Back in Xiaoyaofang, Rong Xi took in a fake medicine dealer named Sun Heming as her subordinate. Afterwards, Sun Heming helped Rong Xi acquire spiritual herb seeds and spirit beast cubs from all over the place.
However, after the Fourth Prince was exiled to the small town of Zichuan by the Crown Prince, the fake medicine dealer disappeared without a trace.
Rong Xi's first task for Wei Zhongxian was to find Sun Heming.
Of course, Rong Xi wasn't looking to settle scores with Sun Heming later; she just wanted to keep him working. If Sun Heming refused, then she wouldn't be so lenient.
It is said that people strive for higher positions, while water flows downhill.
But Rong Xi wasn't someone who was so easy to talk to; Sun Heming still had the spirit stones she had given him. Although she wasn't short of spirit stones now, they weren't so easily taken.
"Master, that fake medicine dealer is just a small fry; you really don't need to care about him!"
Granny Rui spoke in a low voice.
Rong Xi chuckled and said, "He is indeed a minor character, but since he took my spirit stones, he has to do things for me. There's no such thing as getting my spirit stones for free in this world."
I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges, but I'm also the kind of person who lets others take advantage of me.
Rong Xi's philosophy has always been simple and direct.
Her spirit stones didn't come from thin air; no one, no matter who they are, can fool her.
"Granny Rui, I know you received some benefits from Sun Heming. I won't pursue that matter. However, I hope you understand who has the final say in these matters!"
She's not short of spirit stones, but she's not one to be taken advantage of.
Sun Heming thinks that since the Fourth Prince has no future, she, as the Fourth Prince's wife, is doomed too. How can she not humiliate him for looking down on her so much?
Of course, most importantly, although Sun Heming's cultivation level wasn't great, he was quite capable in doing things.
This is a talented person, and Rong Xi needs to use him!
