Chapter 69 Ling Xuzi's Provocation Gets a Slap in the Face
Upon hearing this name, Chu Chongjin and Mu Fang's eyes sharpened simultaneously.
They still vividly remember the insidious formations that Xuanjizi set up in the capital.
As Xuanjizi's senior brother, Lingxuzi will only be more difficult to deal with.
"Did he come alone?" Chu Chongjin asked.
"Yes, he was alone, standing outside the city gate, saying that if he didn't see the princess, he would perform a ritual to summon heavenly lightning and flood Jiayu County." The guard's voice was filled with fear.
"What arrogance!" Xiao Beichen roared. "I'll go and meet him!"
"Stop." Mu Fang stopped him. "The methods of sorcerers are unpredictable. Don't act rashly."
Chu Chongjin pondered for a moment, then his gaze fell on Mu Yu beside him.
Mu Yu was intently licking a piece of malt candy, completely unaware of the tension outside.
In her sea of consciousness, the originally clear golden sky was suddenly clouded by a dark cloud when the name "Ling Xuzi" appeared.
The dark clouds carried a corrosive aura, which instinctively disgusted her.
"Daddy, is there a big fly outside?" she asked, wrinkling her little nose.
"Buzzing, so annoying."
Chu Chongjin and Mu Fang exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
"It seems they're after Xiaoyuer." Mu Fang's voice turned cold.
“Since he specifically asked to see me, then let’s go and meet him,” Chu Chongjin decided.
"I want to see what extraordinary abilities he has."
Banners fluttered atop the city tower.
Mu Fang held Mu Yu in his arms, standing side by side with Chu Chongjin.
Xiao Beichen and Yan Ziche stood on either side, with hundreds of elite Xuanjia soldiers behind them, bows drawn and arrows nocked.
Outside the city gate, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a blue robe and holding a whisk stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite like a Taoist immortal.
He is Lingxuzi.
Seeing the little girl surrounded by people on the city wall, Ling Xuzi's eyes flashed with jealousy.
Both being lucky koi, why is she the one destined to be a "lucky charm" and possess such pure and abundant good fortune?
But he himself could only rely on evil arts to eke out a living and chase after that elusive power.
He is not convinced!
"Your Highness, Ninth Prince, this humble Taoist is Lingxuzi. Greetings." Lingxuzi smiled slightly, his voice carrying throughout the entire city tower through his inner strength.
"I have come here not for war, but only to ask Your Highness for a person."
The whisk in his hand pointed towards Mu Yu.
"This woman is a demon in human form, carrying an ominous aura that will bring disaster to the Great Chu. Your Highness is the son of a true dragon; how can you associate with a demon?"
"I beg Your Highness to hand this demon over to me, so that I may suppress it and bring peace to the land and restore order to the nation."
His words were eloquent and righteous.
The soldiers, unaware of the truth, were somewhat agitated by what they heard.
"Bullshit!" Xiao Beichen was the first to burst out with a curse.
"You old Taoist priest, with your shifty eyes and sneaky appearance, you're clearly no good! How dare you slander our princess!"
Yan Ziche also sneered and said loudly, "Spreading heresies and misleading the public! Daoist Lingxuzi, I would like to ask you, were you aware that your junior brother Xuanjizi buried a talisman under the palace to pollute the dragon vein? You and he are from the same sect, so you must be birds of a feather!"
Ling Xuzi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
“Junior brother has gone astray, and I am heartbroken. I have come here today to make amends for the mistakes you have made.”
As he spoke, he took out a small black flag, about the size of a palm, from his sleeve.
"This is the Thunder-Attracting Banner, a priceless treasure of my sect. If Your Highness remains obstinate, do not blame this humble Taoist for using swift and decisive measures for the sake of all living beings!"
He threw the lightning banner into the air while chanting incantations.
In an instant, the once clear sky changed color, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed wildly.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, making everyone on the city wall feel a tightness in their chest and difficulty breathing.
The soldiers' faces were drained of color, and they could barely hold their bows and arrows.
This is the power of magic, completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Mu Fang held his daughter tightly in his arms, his expression extremely grave.
In front of Chu Chongjin's wheelchair, several guards had already raised their shields, firmly protecting him.
Only Mu Yu remained calm.
She just felt that the "big fly" above her head had become bigger and louder, making her head ache.
"Daddy, tell him to shut up." She pouted unhappily.
Before Mu Fang could speak, Chu Chongjin suddenly laughed.
He pushed aside the shield in front of him and spoke loudly to Lingxuzi below the city:
"Daoist Lingxuzi, you keep saying that the young princess is a demon, but do you have any evidence?"
Ling Xuzi declared proudly, "The celestial phenomena are the evidence! A demon is here; the heavens have sent down a warning!"
"Is that so?" Chu Chongjin's smile grew even brighter. "I also have something that might prove the little princess's identity."
As he spoke, he took something out of his pocket.
It was an imperial seal, its surface smooth and warm, with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon coiled on it.
It was the imperial seal that Emperor Chu Yuan personally handed to Mu Yu, so that she could use it to "supervise" the imperial envoy team!
The moment Chu Chongjin raised the imperial seal high, a miracle occurred.
The golden dragon on the jade seal seemed to come alive, letting out a roar that pierced through the clouds and split rocks!
A dazzling purple-gold light shot into the sky, instantly tearing a huge hole in the dark clouds!
The sunlight shone down again, warm and sacred.
The so-called "Thunder-Attracting Banner," under the impact of the purple-gold dragon energy, let out a mournful cry and fell directly from mid-air, turning into an ordinary tattered banner.
Ling Xuzi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
"The aura of a true dragon... How is that possible... How could you possibly mobilize the dragon's aura of national destiny?!"
He stared at Chu Chongjin in horror.
It's not surprising that a prince would possess the aura of a dragon.
However, only a "true dragon emperor" who has been recognized by heaven and earth can combine the dragon's energy with the imperial seal of national destiny and activate the power of national destiny!
Chu Chongjin did not answer him, but just looked at him quietly.
In Mu Yu's sea of consciousness, the purple-gold dragon energy, like the warmest sunlight, shone into her pond of blessings.
The golden pool water mingled with the purple-gold dragon energy, causing the entire pond to boil.
An unprecedented and powerful force awakened within Mu Yu's body.
She felt as if she had eaten ten thousand pieces of fish scale jelly, and her whole body was full of energy.
She peeked her little head out from Mu Fang's arms and called out crisply to Ling Xuzi below the city:
"You're the big bad guy!"
"I will represent the moon... no, I will represent Father and Ninth Brother to destroy you!"
She mimicked the tone of a storyteller and used her newly learned skill—Fortune Allocation, Second Stage: Turning Misfortune into Fortune!
She made a small face at Ling Xuzi.
An invisible, golden power crossed the distance of the city wall and silently landed on Ling Xuzi.
Ling Xuzi was still in awe of Chu Chongjin's power when he suddenly felt his foot slip.
He looked down and saw that, without him noticing, a stone beside his feet had rolled to his feet.
"Bang!"
This arrogant Grand Master Lingxuzi, right under everyone's noses, fell flat on his face.
To make matters worse, when he fell, his mouth hit a sharp rock.
Two front teeth, immediately ruined.
Then, a deafening roar of laughter erupted.
Xiao Beichen laughed the loudest, tears streaming down his face.
"Hahahaha... You even summoned heavenly lightning! I think you've brought a complete disaster on yourself!"
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were laughing so hard they were almost falling over, their fear and oppression from before completely gone.
