Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

At this point, Heng Qing sighed and said, "The Eastern King has rebelled and wants to install my younger brother as the new Immortal Venerable."

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Li Zhong asked, "Why?"

Hengqing sighed, swallowed the chicken leg meat in her mouth, and slowly began to tell her story.

The story begins with Hengqing's father, who is a Celestial Venerable of Kunlun Wonderland. A Celestial Venerable is the ruler of the Kunlun Celestial Clan, essentially the village chief. Under the village chief are two kings, the East and West Kings, who are equivalent to deputy village chiefs.

They formed the main ruling structure of Kunlun Wonderland, and Hengqing was the third daughter of the old immortal. The old immortal had three sons and one daughter in his lifetime.

Unfortunately, the old immortal's eldest and second sons were both strong radicals. They sought to leave Kunlun Immortal Realm and compete with mortals for the world. They were not satisfied with being trapped in the immortal realm. Although it was carefree inside, it was still a small space. They wanted a wider world.

So they ran away from Kunlun Wonderland one after another, wanting to cause trouble outside, but they ended up being killed by mortals.

When the news of his death reached the old immortal, it was like a bolt from the blue. Losing his son in his old age caused him unbearable grief. However, he could not abandon his immortal legacy, so when he was a hundred years old, he used a secret method to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

The older sister was named Hengqing, and the younger brother was named Hengfeng.

However, after giving birth to the siblings, the old immortal also suffered a loss of vitality. Therefore, he entrusted the two children to the Eastern King and the Western King for upbringing. However, the two siblings they raised had completely different personalities.

The older sister, Hengqing, is conservative, dislikes taking risks, and follows the rules.

The younger brother, Hengfeng, is impulsive and adventurous. He idolizes his two older brothers and often says that he wants to learn from them and one day lead all the immortals out of the immortal realm to unify the mortal world.

The two women, with their drastically different personalities, naturally had two different supporters. The one who supported the older sister was the Western King, a woman with a conservative personality who was in charge of the laws, economy, and food distribution in the fairy realm.

She liked her older sister's conservative personality, believing that the fairyland was a place left to them by the immortals for survival, and that leaving the fairyland would be disrespectful to their ancestors.

However, the Eastern King did not think so. The Eastern King favored his younger brother. The Eastern King was a man who was in charge of military affairs within the Immortal Realm. He liked violence and also enjoyed exploring the outside world. The Immortal Venerable's first two sons were his disciples. Therefore, he also hoped that his younger brother would become the Immortal Venerable and inherit the legacy of his older brothers.

The two kings, East and West, were at loggerheads over the issue of succession, and fought each other multiple times, refusing to compromise.

The two are also very similar in strength, both being at the fourth level of the Fusion God realm. Therefore, the difference between the older sister and the younger brother is not significant, and they can be said to be evenly matched.

At this time, the Immortal Venerable's body was also unable to continue to inherit the legacy, so he continued to select a successor. So who could win the Immortal Venerable's favor?
Yes, the old immortal ultimately chose Hengqing. The reason is simple: the old immortal had already lost two sons and no longer wanted his descendants to die in the outside world. Hengqing's conservatism suited the old immortal's mindset at the time, which is why the old immortal passed on this legacy to his sister.

This aroused strong dissatisfaction from the younger brother. Of course, if it were only the younger brother who was dissatisfied, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the younger brother's dissatisfaction represented the dissatisfaction of the Eastern King.

The Eastern King is a powerful figure; if he is dissatisfied, he will surely cause trouble.

So the Eastern King rebelled. But we weren't afraid of the Eastern King's rebellion, because we still had the Western King. Originally, the two were evenly matched, and neither could win. But then someone appeared and broke the stalemate between the three parties.

This person is not from the fairy realm, and no one knows where he came from. He is quite powerful and skilled with a knife.

The shameless Eastern King opened the forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Gate and took out the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Blade, which was enshrined in the forbidden area. With the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Blade, that person's strength directly increased to the fourth level of the Melting God.

Two against one, the Western King suffered a crushing defeat and had no time to protect Heng Qing, who could only flee. Meanwhile, the Eastern King and that other man still needed to join forces to deal with the Western King, so they could only send Jiang Feng to pursue Heng Qing.

That's everything that happened before they met Heng Qing.

Chen Jie frowned upon hearing Heng Qing's words. A master of the knife?
"From the outside world?"

Chen Jie spoke up, and Heng Qing was taken aback, glancing at Chen Jie: "I thought you didn't care about anything."

Chen Jie was also considering that to intervene in the war between the Eastern King and the Western King, one must at least have a certain level of strength. Those below the third level of the Fusion God realm could basically be disregarded, while those above the third level of the Fusion God realm were masters of the sword.
As for the experts outside who could meet this condition, Chen Jie thought about it and realized that there shouldn't be many. In his memory, the only one he could name was Li Siqi, the Sword Saint.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and asked, "Do you know what that person looks like?"

Hearing this, Heng Qing shook her head and said, "Why are you interested too?"

Chen Jie did not answer, and Heng Qing continued, "I have never seen his face before, but I know that he was brought by Chang Xuzi of the Kunlun Sect."

"Chang Xuzi?"

Chen Jie murmured, and Heng Qing said, "That's right, it's Chang Xuzi. He's one of the Eastern King's men and also our liaison in the mortal realm."

"What about the Kunlun Sect?"

Heng Qing said, "Our liaison office in the mortal realm is a place that usually helps us collect intelligence and transport supplies to us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and said, "The Kunlun Sect is actually your liaison office?"

Heng Qing said, "Yes, it has been like this since ancient times. Of course, the lower-level disciples of Kunlun do not know this. Only the elders and their personal disciples know it. Moreover, only the Kunlun sect leaders throughout history have been able to enter the Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly. The one brought by Kunlun Sect Leader Chang Xuzi was a swordsman. Chang Xuzi had long since pledged allegiance to Prince Qi, Li Siqi. Considering all these factors, this swordsman was most likely Li Siqi.

If it's Li Siqi, then this is troublesome. His strength is already close to the peak of the third level of the Melting God realm. If he were to add the legendary Demon Blade Tiger Soul, his strength could probably reach the fourth level of the Melting God realm.

Add to that the Eastern King, two fourth-level Molten Gods fighting against the Western King, one fourth-level Molten God. No wonder the Western King was beaten so badly.

After this explanation, Chen Jie understood the whole story. He continued looking at the rabbit meat and casually remarked, "I see you're also practicing the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique."

Heng Qing was taken aback and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "That's right, I didn't expect you to also cultivate the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique. Where did you learn our immortal realm's cultivation method from?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Your immortal realm techniques? What makes you think this technique is from your immortal realm?"

"What else is there to prove? This cultivation method has existed in our Immortal Realm for five or six thousand years. It has existed in our Immortal Realm since ancient times. What you outsiders are learning are all traitors to our Immortal Realm who spread it out."

"A traitor to the Celestial Realm?"

Heng Qing said, "That's right. The people of our Immortal Realm have never given up on the idea of ​​leaving the Immortal Realm. In the process, many people fought a great battle with the Immortal Realm in order to escape. The battles were extremely fierce and terrifying. The most serious battle occurred in the late Tang Dynasty in your outside world. Two traitors from our Immortal Realm, Heng Qianqiu and Ji Ruxue, stole five treasures from the Immortal Realm's labyrinth."

"Xuanyuan Sword, Shennong Staff, Xuanyuan Technique, Jiuli Demon Art, Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique."

"Having defected from the Immortal Realm, only the Demon Blade Tiger Soul was obtained by the Immortal Venerable at the time for study, thus saving him from disaster. From then on, the methods of the Immortal Realm were spread to the mortal world."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong said, "Isn't that Tiger Soul Blade the possession of the Demon Lord Chi You? Since it's a demonic object, why would the Immortal Venerable want to study it?" Heng Qing replied, "What does the difference between righteous and demonic stances have to do with cultivation techniques?"

Li Zhong was taken aback. Heng Qing said, "Is this how you outsiders talk about the Demon Lord Chi You? But he is also a totem of our human race. When Chi You was defeated, the Jiuli tribe was integrated into our Chinese bloodline. Now we are inseparable. Who dares to say that they don't have Jiuli blood in their bloodline? Who dares to say that they are not a descendant of Chi You?"

"Descendants of Yan and Huang, the common people, this is the fundamental tone of the human race."

Hengqing found it strange that Li Zhong wouldn't understand this principle, which she had known since childhood.

Chen Jie looked at Li Zhong and said, "The victor is king and the loser is villain. It has been like this since ancient times. China has always respected the strong and used the Xuanwu Gate succession system. Whether it was the Battle of Zhuolu between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor, the Battle of Haixia between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, or the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny later, the victors wrote the history books. Whoever wins is the legitimate one, and whoever loses is the demonic one!"

"There is no distinction between good and bad in cultivation methods."

Chen Jie explained, but what he cared more about was not the righteous and the demonic, but whether there was a complete Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique in this fairyland. After figuring this out, Chen Jie said, "That's not right. You said that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, two traitors from your fairy clan, Heng Qianqiu and Ji Ruxue, stole your clan's five great treasures, three of which were divine skills."

"Then where did you get the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique from?"

Heng Qing said, "Of course it came from the secret vault. Wait, you don't think our secret manuals would be left on paper like your mortals' and then just stolen, without our immortal race even having a backup, do you?"

"Um...can't I?"

Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing, who said, "Our secret manuals are all passed down from ancient times and are engraved on the hardest stone in the world. They will not be damaged even if they are cut by knives and axes. So what they stole was just a copy. Our biggest loss is actually two divine weapons that have been tainted by the merits of the human race."

"The Xuanyuan Sword and the Shennong Staff!"

Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was good that there was a complete cultivation technique in this immortal realm; otherwise, he would have made a wasted trip.

However, it's not necessarily true that you have to go to the Immortal Realm to learn all the techniques. Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at Heng Qing and said, "I see. I didn't expect you to have such a great background."

At first, Chen Jie had suppressed her quite a bit, but now she proudly raised her head and said, "Now you know how powerful I am, right? But you are also quite powerful. Apart from the Eastern King, I have never seen anyone else who can master the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique so well."

"The Eastern King? He also studied the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique?"

Heng Qing nodded, and Chen Jie sighed upon hearing this, saying, "I am probably not as good as him, after all, my Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique is not complete, and I do not know the Autumn Character Technique, otherwise I could have helped you."

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing looked at Chen Jie and asked, "You don't know the Autumn Character Technique?"

Chen Jie shook his head, and Heng Qing said, "Your inheritance is incomplete?"

Chen Jie nodded again, and Heng Qing sighed, "Well, that's it then."

Li Zhong then chimed in, "Hey, isn't Miss Heng a Little Immortal Venerable? And she's also learning the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique. Why don't you pass on the Autumn Technique to your senior? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Li Zhong, the little genius, came up with a fantastic idea.

Chen Jie then waved his hand and said, "Nonsense! Such divine skills must be a secret of the immortal race. How can they be passed on casually? Don't talk such nonsense next time."

Li Zhong immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, yes."

Although he was reprimanded, Li Zhong knew that he probably hadn't offended Chen Jie.

Heng Qing said, "Don't mention Brother Li Zhong. What Brother Li Zhong said is not without reason. Although our Immortal Clan has a rule that we cannot pass on our cultivation techniques, you did save my life after all. Logically speaking, I can pass on this Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique to you."

"But, but I don't know the complete Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Manual either."

"I can't help it," Heng Qing said with a helpless expression.

"You don't know either?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong exclaimed in surprise. Chen Jie frowned slightly, but kept his eyes fixed on Heng Qing to see if she was lying. However, it turned out that Heng Qing was not lying; her eyes were filled with sincerity.

Heng Qing said, "Don't even mention the Autumn Formula, I don't even know the Winter Formula. I only know the Spring and Summer Formulas. When I was learning them, the Eastern King said that you can't bite off more than you can chew, and that you should just use the Spring and Summer Formulas as a foundation."

"That's why I only know the two secrets of spring and summer!"

"Heng Qing said with a bitter face," Chen Jie sighed inwardly. "As expected, things can't be so easy for me to get what I want." However, he remained outwardly calm, because it's best not to let others see the problem with certain things.

Chen Jie remained silent, and Li Zhong also kept quiet.

Heng Qing looked somewhat dejected and asked Li Zhongdao, "Am I really that useless?"

Li Zhong gives off an impression of being honest, simple, and reliable, which is why Heng Qing enjoys confiding her feelings to him.

Li Zhongdao said, "How could that be? You're only ten years old and you're already so strong. I'm over twenty and I've only just reached the Transformation Realm. In your Immortal Realm, I'm only comparable to an ordinary person. So, it's more like I'm useless!"

"But, but I ran away, and I don't know how Aunt Yun and the others are doing. I'm a cowardly coward. I can't save them. I'm useless. I'm so useless."

"Aunt Yun?"

Li Zhongdao: "Who is she? Can you tell me?"

Heng Qing said, "She is the kindest and gentlest person in the world. She is the Western King of the Immortal Clan, a strict Western King, but in my eyes, she is more like a mother..."

Through Hengqing's explanation, Li Zhong also learned that Hengqing was still struggling with the fact that she had abandoned Aunt Yun and run away alone. She was very concerned about her cowardly behavior, but with her current strength, she couldn't go back at all, and even if she did, she couldn't help Aunt Yun and her supporters.

Seeing Hengqing's heartbroken state, Chen Jie looked at her and said, "If crying can solve the problem, then I hope you can keep crying. If not, I hope you wipe away those pathetic tears and think about whether there is any way to save your people."

Ok?
Hearing this, Heng Qing looked at Chen Jie and felt that this guy was extremely cold-blooded, but after thinking for a moment, she still said, "There is another way!"

"any solution?"

Chen Jie asked.

Hengqing wiped away her tears and said, "Please ask Wudang for help!" (End of Chapter)
