"The Lone Sword Immortal has also entered the Divine Journey."
Zhao Yuzhen nodded, sat down in front of Li Hanyi, and casually reached out, revealing a peach blossom in her hand.
He tucked the peach blossom behind Li Hanyi's ear, examined it carefully, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, I was lost in thought."
It seems there must be some untold story surrounding him.
Li Hanyi gently touched the peach blossom by her ear, smiling radiantly: "There's no need to inquire about stories that are unknown to others."
Regardless, this is still an extra source of assistance.
What did my senior brother say in the letter he sent earlier?
Zhao Yuzhen took out a paper crane with its wings still fluttering from her sleeve, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
"My senior brother said that four immortals will come down from the South Heavenly Gate."
Of course, the senior brother did not know that there was a South Heavenly Gate here, which was connected to the upper level.
All four of them were in a state of spiritual travel.
It's hard to imagine just how many experts are at that level.
Seemingly sensing his worry, Li Hanyi put down the needle and thread in her hand and reached out to hold his hand.
No matter what, I'll stay with you.
Furthermore, since my senior brother has made arrangements, it means there shouldn't be any major problems.
We should trust our senior brother, shouldn't we?
Zhao Yuzhen smiled gently, pulled her into her arms, and nodded lightly.
"Yes, we should trust our senior brother."
However, Zhao Yuzhen remembered what her senior brother had said: after sixty years, the immortals from beyond the realm would launch a massive attack.
Will the martial arts world here be able to cultivate so many masters to resist?
A soft sigh lingered in my heart.
Qingcheng (a reader who claimed the book) felt that he had been incredibly unlucky lately.
If Zhou Zhen were here, he would recognize that this person was the one who lingered by the Tongtian River, eventually leading a Venerable from Baiyujing down to become a pile of minced meat.
He is an excellent guide.
This is Qingcheng, Baiyujing's veteran spy.
He cultivated a rather magical technique called "Heavenly Dog Steals Heaven," which allowed him to transform himself into any small animal and deceive the heavens, shielding him from divine secrets.
Therefore, he has always been a top figure in the Baiyujing Gou Dao Liu school, because he can really turn into a dog.
Now that he's been turned into a dog, a madman has been singing to him for two hours straight, his incoherent words and poignant emphasis causing him unbearable pain.
Now that reinforcements have been brought in from the four great immortal palaces, he remains the vanguard scout, here to gather information.
Although this Free City is full of strange and unusual people, fortunately he did not find anyone like the powerful Luo Qingyang by the Tongtian River.
Just as Qingcheng was feeling fortunate, he saw that powerful figure from the mortal realm, a Taoist priest in a purple robe, coming to greet someone.
If he wasn't mistaken, that person was Luo Qingyang.
Qingcheng was stunned on the spot and almost peed his pants in fright.
Now that the four great talents of the Immortal Palace are about to arrive, Luo Qingyang has unexpectedly shown up.
Qingcheng felt that he probably couldn't stay in Zizai City any longer.
As a master of the survival strategy, his greatest skill is to survive; staying alive is of utmost importance.
Having turned into a dog, he urinated on the madman who was singing to him, shook himself off, and dashed into the bamboo forest.
"What should we do now? Should I notify those four talented individuals?"
No, no, no, that's not right. The big shots in Baiyujing have all declared that they will definitely kill Luo Qingyang.
Hey, what am I afraid of?
I'm just a gofer anyway, not bad, not bad, Luo Qingyang must die!
"I should send the signal now; tell them that Luo Qingyang has arrived."
Qingcheng quickly came up with a plan, but he suddenly realized that the sky was getting dark.
He looked up and saw a net descending upon him.
Qingcheng was startled and immediately tried to dodge, but unexpectedly, a stick fell down on his head.
He then felt everything go black, and before he lost consciousness, he heard a burst of laughter and conversation.
"Where did this stray dog come from? It's so fat and strong, and it tried to run away. Luckily, I acted quickly. Looks like the brothers are going to have a good meal today."
Tianqi City, Imperial Observatory.
Xiao Feixuan was giving Zhou Zhenhuan a back massage when Qi Tianchen expressed great dissatisfaction with this guy ordering his disciple around and issued a stern warning.
But Zhou really didn't take it seriously at all.
In fact, Qi Tianchen had just returned from Emperor Mingde's place, and his face showed some fatigue.
"Is the Mingde Emperor aware of this?"
Qi Tianchen nodded and sighed, "With something this big happening, it's hard not to know."
After all, everyone in the entire Crimson King's Villa was dead.
Emperor Mingde was not blind or deaf; in fact, when he wanted to know something, it was difficult to keep it from him.
Chapter 151 What is the Way of Heaven?
Qi Tianchen was quite satisfied with Zhou Zhenhuan.
Although this brat often stirs up trouble, it must be said that the fortunes of heaven, earth, and humanity have increased significantly because of him.
It's a good thing no matter what.
He didn't take Emperor Mingde's summons too seriously.
"What did the emperor say?"
Qi Tianchen stuffed a pastry into his mouth before slowly saying, "What can be said? The Crimson King is seriously injured, and His Majesty only reprimanded him a few times before ordering him to stay at home."
However, that Lone Sword Immortal slaughtered the Crimson King's villa, and His Majesty has already issued an order for Luo Qingyang's arrest.
They claimed that Luo Qingyang disregarded the emperor's grace, and that in the past, in consideration of his contributions to the country, the emperor had specially granted him the city of Muliang to help him cultivate that desolate sword intent.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyang not only failed to repay the kindness but also harbored wolfish ambitions.
If we slaughter the Red King's Villa today, we'll dare to storm Tianqi City tomorrow.
Of course, His Majesty praised you highly, claiming that without you, there would likely have been great chaos.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenhuan curled his lip and chuckled sarcastically.
"His Majesty's feelings for Luo Qingyang are probably quite complicated."
Emperor Mingde's decision to enfeoff Luo Qingyang in the distant city of Muliang may have had other intentions.
After all, Emperor Mingde couldn't possibly be unaware of this guy's feelings for that junior sister.
Speaking of Consort Xuan... well, she's quite an interesting person.
Zhou was genuinely curious about what was so charming about this person.
Qi Tianchen took the tea from his junior apprentice, took a sip, and then ate some pastries before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Whether it's complicated or not has nothing to do with us.
You sent Luo Qingyang to the southern border, what's wrong? Is the situation not good?
Qi Tianchen naturally knew what would happen sixty years later, hence his question.
Zhou Zhen nodded, put his hands behind his head, and stretched vigorously: "It's really not good. This time, four of them are lost in thought."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tianchen silently put down the pastries, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Four? The southern border, can we hold it?"
Why don't you go over there?
Zhou Huanzhen laughed and said, "You should believe in my junior brother and Luo Qingyang. At worst, there's Senior Xie, right? Three against four, we might not be without a chance of winning."
If all else fails, I will intervene.
"You're quite open-minded, but what if... wouldn't they be in danger?"
"There are dangers, but they are also accompanied by opportunities."
"Don't worry, elder. Eat and drink as you please. These are minor matters that the younger generation will handle."
Qi Tianchen nodded in satisfaction after receiving this reply, feeling slightly relieved.
"It's good that you have your own plans. Did you come to Tianqi specifically for Luo Qingyang?"
"No, it's just that I missed my senior master, so I came to bother you for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Qi Tianchen nearly rolled his eyes to the sky.
If Qi Tianchen actually believed that, then he would be a fool.
Zhou Zhenhuan smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.
Inside the palace, Emperor Mingde's old face was ashen as he stared at the news on his desk, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, footsteps came from outside, and a man dressed in brocade robes walked in.
This person was none other than Emperor Mingde's youngest brother, a brother who was not granted a title but was raised by his side.
Marquis of Golden Robes and Orchid Moon.
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
Marquis Lan Yue bowed rather casually.
Emperor Mingde's thoughts were interrupted. He rubbed his temples and looked at his younger brother.
"Here you go, sit down."
Lan Yuehou responded in a casual manner, displaying a free and unrestrained charm.
Compared to a marquis, he's more like a chivalrous knight-errant.
"What troubles you so much, Your Majesty? You've had more gray hair in just a few days."
Emperor Mingde sighed: "The affairs of the state and the family all rest on my shoulders, and I have long been used to it."
Have you heard about Xiao Yu's situation?
To be honest, don't try to fool me like outsiders do.
Lan Yuehou chuckled awkwardly. In fact, he had already made up his mind not to get involved in this matter.
After all, his nephews are vying for this position, so let them fight it out.
As his uncle, he had no other intentions.
Furthermore, the past events between his elder brother and the Prince of Langya are still vivid in his mind. There are no brothers in the imperial family, which is why, despite being the emperor's most favored younger brother, he has always remained on the fringes of the court.
Compared to being a marquis or prince, it's much more carefree and unrestrained to roam the world.
Emperor Mingde clearly understood his younger brother's temperament.
Seeing Emperor Mingde's serious expression, Marquis Lanyue stopped smiling and sighed softly.
"Of course I've heard about it; it's no small matter."
That solitary swordsman's overwhelming killing intent was something I couldn't help but notice, even if I wanted to.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde's expression grew even more gloomy.
"Hmph, this unfilial son...just like his mother..."
Emperor Mingde disliked Xiao Yu, which could be considered a case of disliking someone because of their family.
