Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 481: Bai Wang and Yan Zhantian
"Your Highness, the Scarlet King is not behaving right."

At Prince Bai's Mansion, Xiao Chong's hand holding the fish food paused slightly. When he was at Snowfall Villa, he had sensed that this time, Xiao Yu seemed to be deliberately targeting Xiao Chuhe.

Judging from Xiao Chuhe's current strength, neither stealing the imperial seal nor sewing the dragon robe is justifiable. And from what Xiao Chuhe said before, he had a feeling that his sixth brother was not as keen on the throne as he imagined.

"That's not right. Just like Prince Yong'an said, the traces of performance are too obvious. It's as if he is afraid that others don't know that he did it on purpose."

"Given his personality and style of doing things, even if he is really interested in the imperial seal, he would never resort to such an unpresentable approach."

A breeze blew through the courtyard, the leaves made a rustling sound, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. Xiao Chong sighed, and his mood seemed to be rippled as well.

Xiao Chuhe had told him before that as a descendant of the Xiao family, he should do what he should do and what he should not do. He had been thinking about this sentence all the time, but he still hadn't figured out the answer.

"Is the master chef back?"

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Xiao Chong couldn't help but ask.

"I'm back. I'm in the backyard."

Xiao Chong nodded, handed the small bowl in his hand to the follower beside him, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Soon, he arrived at the backyard, where the Angry Sword Immortal was sitting cross-legged under a big tree with his Pojun Sword placed on his knees.

Looking at the weather-beaten face of the Angry Sword Immortal, Xiao Chong felt inexplicably reluctant. If it weren't for what happened that year, the Angry Sword Immortal would at least be able to break through to the Divine Wandering Profound Realm, instead of being like now, stuck at the Half-Step Divine Wandering and unable to make an inch of progress.

"Chong'er, why are you here?"

The Angry Sword Immortal opened his eyes and was a little surprised to see Xiao Chong coming over.

"Master chef."

Xiao Chong greeted the Angry Sword Immortal. He was not a cold-hearted person like Xiao Yu. To be honest, the reason why the Angry Sword Immortal became like this was mostly because of himself.

"I came to see the master chef to ask, who won the previous battle? And what was the vortex that appeared at the end?"

Xiao Chong went straight to the point.

The Angry Sword Immortal frowned, although his realm stopped at the half-step spiritual wandering, his eyesight was not bad.

"It's hard to say, but from my feeling, this battle didn't determine the winner. At the beginning, Jun Yu from the academy was suppressing Ye Wushang, Xiao Yuanshan, and Xu Kaishan, and seemed to have the upper hand, but at the beginning, the three of them didn't use their full strength, until the end, when they finally used their best skills."

"Xu Kaishan said something very right. In a life-and-death battle, it is still uncertain who will stand to the end. As for the vortex, I know what you mean. The combat power of the Half-step Return to the True Realm is too terrifying. If we can grasp the secret of the vortex, we may be able to check and balance the others. However, my guess is that it may be related to heavenly punishment, which cannot be controlled by human power."

When Xiao Chong heard the word "heavenly punishment", he was a little surprised and confused.

"Chong'er, don't be surprised. Heavenly punishment does exist. Last time, in the East China Sea, Mo Yi and Zhao Shouyi were also struck by lightning."

Yan Zhantian seemed to have thought that even if an immortal was invincible in the world, he would still be struck by lightning. And Zhao Shouyi, the little Taoist priest, was the best in the world, so what? Heaven's punishment would not give him face. It was as if he was not the opponent of those two people, but there were still people who could do him a damn good. He felt inexplicably comfortable. "The result is generally like this, but if there is no special situation, it is better not to provoke Xiao Chuhe. The Red King Xiao Yu seems to be fighting with Xiao Chuhe. At this time, we should preserve our own strength. If they can both lose, we will come out to clean up the mess."

Xiao Chong sighed.

Yan Zhantian's idea was good, but who was the fool between Xiao Chuhe and Xiao Yu? Thinking that the fishermen would benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, they would not allow themselves to stay out of it.

"Master, Xiao Chuhe and Xiao Yu are not fools, how could they allow us to stay out of this?"

Yan Zhantian thought about it and it seemed to be the case. Both King Chi and King Yong'an were not simple characters, otherwise Xiao Chong would have defeated them both and seized the position of crown prince.

"There is one more thing. I have been thinking about it, but I still can't figure it out, so I want to ask what the master chef thinks?"

Yan Zhantian had been with Xiao Chong for many years and knew that Xiao Chong was very smart and there were few things he couldn't figure out. Now that Xiao Chong brought up this matter, he felt a little surprised.

"When I went to Prince Yong'an before, he told me, what is the most important thing for the descendants of the Xiao family to do in today's Tianqi?"

Yan Zhantian's sword-like eyebrows were pointed skywards and wrinkles appeared on his forehead. This was the expression he had when he was thinking about something.

After a while, Yan Zhantian slowly stood up, and the Pojun sword was inserted into the ground.

"Speaking of which, the current situation in Tianqi City is not good. It is the same for you, King Yong'an, and King Chi."

"The biggest danger to the court is not the rebels, nor is it between you brothers, but the dozen or so people who are in the Wandering Mysterious Realm and the five who are in the Half-Step Returning Realm who are staying in Tianqi. The times are different now. If these people go crazy and force their way into the palace with swords, the court will not be able to stop them at all."

There was a gleam of light in Yan Zhantian's eyes. Some people say that the final destination of people in the martial arts world is the imperial court. In the past, this statement did not seem to be a big problem. When people are in the martial arts world, they are bound to be stabbed. After getting tired of the fighting in the martial arts world, there is no other way except to hide in the imperial court.

If the restless newcomers in the martial arts world want to quickly become famous, don't they rely on constantly challenging the older generation and standing on the merits of these people? So for those martial arts masters, they can't quit this damn martial arts world until they die.

However, since the successive publication of The Divine Journey to the Mysterious Realm, this situation has been broken. The destination of the martial arts world is no longer the imperial court, but the immortals. There is no strongest, only stronger. Even if one is dressed in plain clothes, one can still look down on kings and princes.

"Xu Kaishan has Wushuang City behind him. Although the old man Nangong Dingwu obeys our arrangements on the surface, I can guarantee that if Xu Kaishan gives them an order, he may even turn against us in the middle of a battle."

Xiao Chong's heart was slightly moved. Yan Zhantian's words were very impolite, but the fact was that the powerful person in the Mysterious Realm who had been used by him as a helper before had become a powerful force in the current Tianqi.

"We are still not sure what those people are planning. We discussed with Xu Kaishan before. On the surface, they asked for the position of the Protector of the Nation, but we are still not sure of their intentions. Judging from the intelligence feedback from the spies outside, if they are plotting the illusory destiny of the country, I don't believe it."

"Does the rise and fall of a country depend solely on luck?"

Xiao Chong also found it difficult to understand this question, but Yan Zhantian's words further confirmed his guess that he should be careful of those powerful wandering gods.

"Master, I want to meet the young city lord of Wushuang City!"
