Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

"Suppressing bandits?"

Emperor Mingde looked at the secret memorial in his hand and for a moment he had some illusions. Was the person mentioned in it still his prince?

"It seems that His Majesty the Seventh Prince has no intention of hiding anything."

Zhuoqing stood aside and spoke softly.

Emperor Mingde threw the secret letter in his hand onto the table and rubbed his temple. In his opinion, Xiao Yu went out to suppress the bandits for his own purpose, but compared with Xiao Chong or Xiao Chuhe, his little plan was a little bit unpresentable.

"Let him be!"

Emperor Mingde sighed. Although Xiao Yu's actions were a little bit unpresentable, it was a good thing after all, and he didn't plan to care about it anymore.

"Who's following him?"

Zhuo Qing hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Your Majesty, there are two people from the Mysterious Realm in the Heavenly World who are protecting us in secret."

Emperor Mingde shook his head.

"Tianwaitian, a group of people with wolfish ambitions. Old Seven is just courting death!"

Zhuoqing stood aside without saying a word. It was said that the people from Tianwai Tian were here for Concubine Xuan. The current head of Tianwai Tian was a young man named Ye Anshi, who was also closely connected with the royal family. However, this had been a taboo for Emperor Mingde for many years, so he naturally would not touch upon it.

"Where are the second and sixth brothers?"

In the reorganization of the court, the person who suffered the greatest impact was not Xiao Chuhe and Xiao Yu, but Xiao Chong. His power in the court was almost cut in half. For Xiao Chong, this was undoubtedly bad news.

"The Second Prince has been staying indoors for the past few days. We have no idea what has happened in the palace. However, according to my observation, Xu Kaishan and Wushuangcheng have been in the palace. I'm afraid the Second Prince has something to do."

When Emperor Mingde heard this, his eyes flashed twice. Xiao Chong was somewhat similar to him in character, and he had regained his vision in recent years. He might have planned to train him to be the crown prince before, but after the incident of cheating in the imperial examination, he felt that Xiao Chong was good at maintaining the status quo but not aggressive enough, and was not the best candidate for the current situation.

"As for the Sixth Prince, he was very concerned after discovering Chengnan's body, and seems to have already started investigating the matter."

"There is one more thing, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Emperor Mingde glanced at Zhuoqing with some impatience.

"speak!"

"It seems that the scholar Zhuge Jingxuan and Jun Yu have returned to Tianqi again, and are now temporarily staying in the Snowfall Villa of His Royal Highness Prince Yong'an."

Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes. Zhuge Jingxuan, the scholar who committed the crime in broad daylight in Tianqi City, although the court was somewhat unfair in the matter of the imperial examination, these things were ultimately the court's business. He, a scholar, dared to kill people in broad daylight and ignore the court's laws. This was a slap in the face of the court.

"Your Majesty, do we need it?"

As if noticing Emperor Mingde's displeasure, Zhuoqing whispered a reminder.

“Forget it. With this scholar included, there are already three people on Lao Liu’s side who have reached the Half-Step Return to Truth Realm. Even if Ye Wushang and Xu Kaishan are willing to help, they may not be able to bring him to justice.”

"He never hurt ordinary people before. He has a bottom line. There is no need to push him too hard. We can slowly settle the accounts in the future."

Now, Xiao Yuanshan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, has been in seclusion and is working hard to break through to the Return to Truth Realm. Once Xiao Yuanshan succeeds, the royal family will have a Return to Truth Realm expert in charge. By that time, those Divine Wandering Realm and Half-Step Return to Truth experts entrenched in Apocalypse City will no longer be a problem.

On the other side, outside Tianqi City, Xiao Yu's eyes were red. He casually threw a corpse in his hand to the ground. Feeling the internal energy that had begun to boil in his body, he smiled coldly.

"Second brother, Sixth brother, wait for two more days, and I will personally give you a surprise."

Not far away, two people in the Wandering Profound Realm watched what Xiao Yu did, and a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes. "This kid is quite to my taste, his moves are clean and neat, without any drag."

The other person, upon hearing this, chuckled, but compared to the other person, he paid attention to more details.

"This is the first time I've seen the technique that this Red King practices, but it has some shadows of the Dark River."

The person who spoke earlier snorted lightly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"Dark River, a group of things that cannot be seen in the light"

To them, people like Anhe who can only walk in the dark are not worthy of being in public.

However, he did not think much about what his companion said. There were indeed people from the Dark River around Xiao Yu, so it was natural for him to be able to practice the Dark River's skills.

In an inn, a girl in a green dress looked at the information in her hand with a slightly frown on her face, looking puzzled.

"There has been no movement in the Dark River these past two days?"

Many people are cautious about this dagger hidden in the dark.

"Sister Mu, I've been away from Dark River for a while. I can't guess what the head of the family thinks."

There was a little girl next to her who couldn't help but shook her head when she heard this.

When the girl in the green dress heard this, she slowly walked to the window. She suddenly raised her head and looked outside, at the bustling streets outside, at the Apocalypse Imperial City.

"I always feel like a storm is coming. The calmer it is, the stronger this feeling becomes."

When the girl next to her heard this, she continued to eat the apple in her hand heartlessly.

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. What are you worried about, Sister Mu? If that day really comes, we will have someone behind us. Can't we just let him handle it?"

The woman in the cyan dress shook her head and stopped talking, but her eyes became heavier.

In the Imperial Observatory, Qi Tianchen was surrounded by an ethereal aura, and there were two people standing beside him, one was the Prince of Yong'an Xiao Chuhe, and the other was the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan.

In an extremely delicate bonsai, the golden lotus was swaying and the petals were withering. The two men's faces became increasingly heavy.

Suddenly, Qi Tianchen's face turned pale, and a hint of red appeared at the corner of his mouth. Xiao Se and Xie Xuan's faces tightened and they took a step forward.

"National Division."

"Old Immortal."

Qi Tianchen waved his hand and slowly opened his eyes, but at this moment, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"The matter of the Golden Lotus of Luck involves a lot of things. I'm afraid something big has happened in an unknown place."

Xie Xuan and Xiao Se hurriedly helped Qi Tianchen up, and the three of them came to the outer hall, their expressions becoming gloomy and uncertain.

"The matter of destiny is extremely mysterious. If I am not mistaken, the abnormal behavior of the Golden Lotus of Destiny must be caused by someone's actions that have shaken the foundation of the country, and the current court is unable to suppress it."

"The old Taoist infers that the disaster caused by the fluctuation of the golden lotus this time may not be caused by Tianqi" (End of this chapter)
