Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 273 Imperial Order

The message conveyed by Luo Xianning was checked in turn by a group of Yujing monks.

The outline of the mysterious Lady Si You gradually became clear in everyone's mind... Her origins and intentions were not difficult to guess.

Cheng Yue took a deep breath, looked around, and said solemnly, "Danxia Sect was built on the mountain. Shouyun Mountain back then was already extraordinary. This lady must have stayed in Chu for at least a hundred years."

"Senior Daoxin is in Heyang Mountain, and Lady Siyou is in Shouyun Mountain. Perhaps there are other secrets in the Chu State that we haven't known yet."

Jiang Yuan sneered and disdained Cheng Yue's words.

He said in a deep voice, "The origin is very clear. This lady is from Yujing."

"He was able to wipe out the leader of the Chu clan without being stopped by Lan Qingji. He must be a senior from our Yujing."

"Didn't Luo Xianning say that?"

"In the year of Wushen, the world walkers from the Yunhai and Baiyu lines visited Shouyun Mountain. Baiyu the Eighth Walker was extremely respectful and addressed her as Senior Sister."

Beside the tiger demon, a female cultivator with a Taoist bun nodded slightly, expressing her agreement.

She is the head of Qianyuan Palace and the only female Nascent Soul cultivator in the State of Chu.

Li Yanlou, Qin Chuxin.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, and the vast spiritual consciousness poured out of the Niwan Palace... and actually outlined the illusory image of a white-haired woman in the hall.

The white-haired woman was surrounded by clouds and mist, and her expression was somewhat indifferent. Her eyes were like deep pools, scanning over everyone one by one, as if she were present there in person.

And this... is just the result of the evolution of Li Yan's magical power.

If Zhao Qing were here, he would definitely be extremely surprised.

The woman that Qin Chuxin transformed with his spiritual consciousness looked exactly like Si He's demon god!

Liu Zijing's pupils shrank instantly, and he asked in surprise, "Chu Xin has also seen the Empress!?"

When he was blocking Lu Qing at Changshengfang a few days ago, he had a glimpse of her and knew that the spiritual phantom in front of him was indeed Empress Si You.

"Um……"

Qin Chuxin glanced at the cultivators with different expressions, then looked at Chen Changsheng solemnly and said slowly: "She has already seen you."

"Back when Zhao Qing first joined the Blood Robe, I felt the presence of this lady when you, Zijing, Wanqiu and the others were sitting in the mountains behind the Changsheng Sword."

"I also made an appointment with him to go to Qianyuan Palace to discuss Taoism."

"Looking back now, Chu Xin really didn't know his own limitations back then."

The woman stood up and paced back and forth, thinking about the past.

"At that time, I only felt that her consciousness was so exquisite that she could actually attach herself to Zhao Qing..."

"I think it's a trace of Zhao Qing's spirit left to protect him, but there's also a hint of soul hidden within it. I wonder what kind of secret method it is."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed subtly.

That lady had already met Chen Changsheng and other Yujing monks from the Chu State!

"A strand of soul protecting Zhao Qing?"

Cheng Yue frowned and said, "It seems that it is indeed Master Zhao Qing, but Hong Ning suspects that Zhao Qing is the furnace tripod she keeps by her side. Fellow Daoist Bai?"

He looked at Bai Wanqiu and asked.

As for the message from Luo Xianning, which said that Zhao Qing and the Empress might be Taoist companions, it was not difficult to understand.

The furnace.

First, he carefully cultivated Zhao Qing as his Taoist partner, and even practiced dual cultivation with him.

Until Zhao Qing formed his infant, he refined his yang essence and soul to make up for his own injuries or improve his cultivation... It was an extremely cruel and evil method.

Bai Wanqiu, who had remained silent all the time, finally spoke at this moment.

She casually threw Luo Xianning's communication jade aside and said unhappily, "Just pretend all those words about Hong Ning don't exist."

"These are all false and untrue words. This damn girl has always been like this."

Bai Wanqiu knew her junior sister very well and knew that she never told the truth.

However, these people who had no connection with Hong Ning naturally did not understand the reason and looked puzzled.

Bai Wanqiu shook her head and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "My junior sister once confided in me, claiming she was a descendant of the Chu family from seven hundred years ago, born at the foot of Ziyang Slope, a descendant of the Chu royal family."

"She also left her name on the jade tablet of Xianghenhai: Chu Hongning."

"But who would have thought that after just a few years, she would suddenly change her surname to Zhao again. Do you think the words of my junior sister... can be trusted?"

Cheng Yue looked strange and shook his head helplessly.

"Everyone, let's discuss how to deal with this."

response!?

Before Lu Qing was even in danger, he and his sect were all gone, and even his Nascent Soul had no chance to escape.

What else can we deal with?

Jiang Yuan laughed heartily and jokingly said, "The Siyou Sect now occupies the former Danxia land. Why doesn't Sect Leader Cheng return to Chu to seek an explanation?"

Cheng Yue's expression froze. He ignored Jiang Yuan and turned to look at the cultivators from the Chu State.

After all, Shouyun Mountain is in the State of Chu. Even if there is an unfathomable senior like Yujing, it will not affect Jiang Yuan in the slightest.

Chen Changsheng slowly stood up and signaled everyone to stay calm.

A cold light flashed in his sharp sword eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "His intention is very clear."

"Zhao Qing is just an excuse. This lady's real purpose is to obtain the resources of the Divine Sword and to use the vast land of Chu to nourish her own incense."

"Even if Lu Qing hadn't attacked Zhao Qing, Shen Dao Island would probably have no other way out."

"Yet such a high level of cultivation has never been revealed. He has to rely on Zhao Qing's family to gather incense. He must have been restrained himself!"

A gleam of light flashed in the man's eyes.

He asserted, "She is most likely seriously injured, so she rarely takes action!"

Seriously injured...

"Chu Xin understands!"

Qin Chuxin instantly thought of the strangeness of Zhao Qing's soul and said hurriedly: "This lady's soul is missing, and she needs to use the incense technique to make up for it!"

Hearing this, Liu Zijing, who was watching quietly in the corner, was slightly moved.

He was really afraid that this group of people would come up with some conclusion that the Empress was weak, or even some absurd talk about encircling and suppressing Shouyun Mountain...

dong dong.

There was a knock on the table in front of him, attracting everyone's attention.

"cough."

Liu Zijing was at his ease, a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Pang Zhen from Blood God Peak has given some instructions."

"Danxia is relocating to Nanze, and the former Blood Robe Tower in Danxia City should be moved to Nanzefang with it."

"Songshanfang was massacred by Lu Qing, and the Blood Clothes Merchant Shop has been destroyed."

"All the cultivators from this trading house...all rushed to Siyou Sect and established a trading house in Siyou."

"And I, the garrison commander of the State of Chu, will be stationed in Siyou permanently in the future."

Liu Zijing smiled at Chen Changsheng and said, "Master Chen, I am deeply grateful for your care over the years!"

In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall.

The Xueyi lineage has already made arrangements!

Liu Zijing, who originally stayed in Changshengfang... is about to leave.

It was not until this moment that Cheng Yue realized that it was no wonder that Liu Zijing kept calling her "Empress"... So that's how it is!

He instantly grasped a deeper meaning.

He laughed loudly and said, "When Danxia was founded, Daoist Chen built Danxia City for me."

"The old Danxia site is now a good place to build another city. Siyou City, nestled against the mountain, should suit the Empress's wishes."

Cheng Yue cast a talisman and handed it to Liu Zijing.

"This is the talisman of my Danxia Mountain Protection Array. Brother Liu, please take it back to Chu."

The two people's attitudes changed instantly, catching Qin Chuxin off guard.

However, she also understood that Senior Brother Pang from Blood God Peak must have many considerations, and he might even know the Empress's strength better than they did.

The woman glanced at Cheng Yue meaningfully and said with a sweet smile, "Fellow Daoist Cheng has been with the Empress for nearly a hundred years. Why don't you return to Shouyun Mountain to pay her a visit?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yue smiled but cursed in his heart.

Not only had he stolen the Empress's life force, but Lu Qing had also helped Danxia kill Nan Ze. Regardless of the reason, he couldn't possibly go to Shouyun Mountain again...

After all, he had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and his life span was still plenty, so his future would be bright.

At this moment, Cheng Yue retorted, "Fellow Daoist Qin already has an appointment with that lady to discuss the Dao. When do you plan to go to Shouyun Mountain?"

Qin Chuxin snorted lightly and said sarcastically, "Chuxin will visit and invite Sect Leader Cheng to go with him."

……

The next morning, in the imperial capital of Chu.

The morning sun broke through the clouds, casting its brilliant rays on the empty and lonely street.

The huge purple-gold palace gate appears quiet and solemn, as if it has existed forever.

The guards were dressed in armor and stepped down with firm steps. The neat sound of their feet landing made the city even more peaceful.

Silently, the gate of the Duke's Mansion opened.

The threshold, which was more than a foot wide, suddenly collapsed, and the unique fragrance of aged nanmu drifted in all directions.

A scholar pulled a luxurious carriage out of the main gate...

As the spiritual energy around him surged, the two majestic stone lions outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion turned into flying powder in the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of war drums spread throughout the imperial city, and the rhythm became faster and faster.

"Drive! Drive!"

The scholar roared, his long whip cracked in the air, and the wheels rolled through the long street... and arrived in front of the palace.

There are high walls and deep barriers nearby, and golden tiles and red eaves in the distance.

On top of the towering and majestic palace wall, a white-haired old man slowly opened his eyes.

This person is none other than the royal family’s golden elixir donor, Zhou Yunfeng!

The old man stared at the carriage with his piercing eyes and whispered, "The Chu Kingdom has passed on power and the royal family has been transferred. No outsiders are allowed to enter the palace."

The scholar driving the carriage looked solemn as he slowly lifted the curtain.

A young man slowly stepped down from the carriage. He had a handsome face and bright eyes. He was dressed in a simple robe and held a scroll of scriptures in his hand.

This is a foundation-building cultivator.

In the early years, he was already well-known in the imperial city, and all the powerful families would call him Second Master.

The prime minister of the current dynasty, Zhou Zongliang!

The man looked up at the high wall with his starry eyes, bowed respectfully and chuckled, "Officially Zhou."

The old man nodded slightly: "So it's... Prime Minister Zhou."

As the old and the young looked at each other, the tightly closed palace gate slowly opened.

……

The magnificent and spacious square was covered with scarlet velvet, and steps made of white jade led directly to the Golden Palace.

Civil and military officials stood bowing on the steps, and the atmosphere was particularly quiet.

In front of them...

A woman was wearing a gorgeous black dress, a glazed phoenix crown on her head, and the ruby-red belt around her waist was gently caressed by the morning breeze.

Zhou Xiaoyi climbed up the stairs.

……

Inside the golden palace, Shuyue's eyes flickered, and her pretty face was full of anticipation.

Kong Yang sat carelessly on the dragon throne and joked, "This is the first time I've sat on this seat."

Zhao Qing gritted his teeth, pulled him away by the shoulders, and said to Qing Huan, "Go sit down for a while."

Shuyue playfully carried Qinghuan to the throne, and took out another phoenix crown from the storage ring and put it on her, just like a maid serving her master wholeheartedly.

There is a dark aura in my mind.

Si He chuckled and said, "I want to sit too."

Zhao Qing: "I will bring the dragon throne back to you when I go home today."

In the side hall, Luo Xianning walked slowly over, her dark brows slightly furrowed as she spoke, "Master just sent a message, he will be coming too."

Everyone looked sideways, Chen Changsheng is here too!?

Luo Xianning took out the seal from her storage ring and temporarily gave it to Shuyue to play with. She thought, "He should be here to receive the seal. He was in Li Country before and has just arrived in Beimo... He should be in time."

A faint spiritual aura emanated from Shen Mo's body. After checking the message, he said in surprise, "Senior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Bai are on their way as well."

Zhao Qing: ...

Did the three of them come together?

At this moment, my aunt's cold voice came from outside the hall.

"Thanks to the many sages who pioneered and expanded the country, the Chu State has a history of more than 720 years."

"At first, the Emperor's mandate arose from Lanjiang, and the Chu clan entered Ziyang and became the ruler of the world."

"Twenty-six thousand days and nights of vicissitudes, the Great Chu reached the Yellow Sands in the north, flew over the deep sea in the east, commanded the Seven Summers in the west, and crossed the endless mountains in the south, shaking the world and bringing light to all."

"The Songshan Sword of Eternal Life forever guards the 90,000-li mountains and rivers of the Chu State. Its glorious achievements are shared by heaven and earth. Its virtue is widespread, and its benevolence flows throughout the land."

"In the past, there was the Du family, who were destined by Heaven. They defended the Great Chu for tens of thousands of days and nights. They were divine and wise, and venerable, and were admired by the whole world. However, Heaven has its own ways, and their fate will also come to an end."

"Now my young daughter, with her youthful youth, will inherit the throne of Great Chu."

"With the command of the Immortal Master of the Nine Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers, I hold the Seal of Chu and open the Siyou."

……

Outside the Golden Palace, Zhou Xiaoyi had an indifferent expression, and her cold eyes swept over the courtiers below the stairs.

"Prime Minister Zhou Zongliang."

As the cold words were spoken, the young man at the foot of the jade steps took a step forward, staring at the current empress with his bright eyes - this was his daughter.

"I am here!"

My aunt looked him up and down, and said in a cold voice, "I have just taken the seal of Chu, and I want to patrol the sky and govern the people."

"You are charged with carrying out the Emperor's orders and ensuring the safety of the court."

The man bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice, "Zong Liang, I obey your command!"

At this moment, the hearts of all the civil and military officials were slightly moved, but they were not too surprised, because they had already been informed by the Duke's Mansion.

At this moment, a sword force as strong as a rainbow piercing the sun came in an instant.

Before anyone could react, Chen Changsheng was already standing in front of Zhou Xiaoyi.

There was a man and a woman beside him. The courtiers below the stairs did not recognize them, and the monks in the imperial guards did not recognize them... but Zhou Yunfeng knew who they were.

The legendary Yujing monk!

Liu Zijing in blood-stained clothes, Bai Wanqiu with heavenly fragrance.

Zhou Xiaoyi looked calm, her beautiful eyes fixed on the three people in front of her.

Chen Changsheng's sword eyes slanted, and he chuckled and said, "Xian Ning, take the Chu Seal."

The words came out.

A female swordsman dressed in tight clothes walked out of the golden palace and presented the black jade seal with both hands.

The man exuded a tremendous pressure, which instantly scattered all the officials below the stairs. Even the three priests guarding the palace were unable to resist.

The majestic words spread across thousands of miles, reaching the depths of the desert in the country of Li...

"The Changsheng Sword Sect has granted Zhou Xiaoyi the imperial order, and this is my testimony!"
