Chapter 354: The Nine Xuan Kingdoms, an Unknown Land
The woman grew increasingly angry as Gu Shenge continued to ignore her.
"Damn it, you lowly commoner, are you even listening to what I, the princess, am saying!"
Gu Shenge then glanced at her indifferently, her eyes filled with suppressed murderous intent. The woman's gaze froze, and she felt the scene before her suddenly change, turning into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
She found herself surrounded by a sea of blood, the thick stench of which made her gag repeatedly.
Just as she was turning pale and on the verge of a mental breakdown, the scene before her changed again, and she returned to reality.
The scene before her had not changed. In front of her were the shattered remains of her mount, a mass of flesh and blood. Further ahead, the man had vanished without a trace.
"Da da da……"
A cavalry force of about a hundred men charged in from behind, clad in heavy armor. The general leading them saw the woman and immediately cried out, "Your Highness! This humble general has arrived late to rescue you. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
The group quickly arrived at the woman's side, and the group dismounted to pay their respects.
Only then did the woman regain some of her confidence: "Someone killed my mount. No matter the cost, I will make him die! I will make him pay with his life for my mount!"
The general at the rear quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness! I will immediately send men to investigate! However, if the governor reports the deaths and injuries of the civilians to the court, His Majesty may not let Your Highness off lightly!"
The woman gave a cold laugh: "It was Nangong Jinglan who did it, not me. Just have the governor report the truth!"
Upon hearing this, the general at the rear respectfully agreed.
In the courtyard of the governor's mansion, a young girl sketched with a paintbrush, painting in the pavilion. The peach blossoms in her painting were in full bloom, lifelike and vibrant.
Suddenly, her pen stopped, and she accidentally drew a line on the paper. Although it was in the area under the tree, it would take a lot of effort to fix it.
At the same time, she stared warily at the man under the tree: "Did Nangong Zhiyan send you?"
Gu Shenge looked bewildered. He had come to the largest mansion in the city to gather information and find out what kind of place this was.
“What Nangong Zhiyan? I don’t know her,” Gu Shengge said frankly.
As he spoke, he had already started walking and slowly entered the pavilion.
The woman clearly didn't believe his story either, and instantly became alert, drawing a short sword in her hand as she angrily shouted, "Don't come any closer!"
Gu Shenge walked to the pavilion and sat down on her own before raising her eyes to look at the woman in front of her.
This woman was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than the woman from before. Under the influence of fate, Gu Shenge saw a glimpse of the future and chose her. In this unfamiliar world, she seemed to be her partner.
"I don't know this Nangong Zhiyan you mentioned. I'm here because I have my own business to attend to," Gu Shenge explained.
"What is it?" Nangong Jinglan remained vigilant.
Gu Shenge stared at her for a moment before slowly saying, "I want to know where I am, and also what the strongest person here is, and what their cultivation level is."
Nangong Jinglan is a cultivator, and a Nascent Soul cultivator at that. Although she concealed it using special methods, only revealing herself as a Nascent Soul cultivator, she couldn't hide it from Gu Shenge.
Nangong Jinglan's expression softened slightly, and he asked in confusion, "You're not from the Nine Profound Kingdom? Then who are you? A barbarian?"
She scrutinized Gu Shenge's appearance, frowning as she asked, "You don't look like a barbarian cultivator at all. Who exactly are you?"
Gu Shenge didn't want to reveal her true origins, so she made one up. "I've been living in seclusion with my master, only recently venturing out of the mountains, so I don't know much about the outside world."
Nangong Jinglan nodded. This reason was quite valid. Many powerful cultivators would do the same, especially those at the Void Refining Realm. They would even take their disciples into their inner cultivation world for training.
Nangong Jinglan lowered her sword: "This is Anxi City of the Jiuxuan Kingdom. I am the fifth princess of the Jiuxuan Kingdom, Nangong Jinglan. May I ask your name?"
“My name is Gu Shenge. You seem to have some troubles. Tell me about them, and maybe I can help you,” Gu Shenge said.
Every cause has its effect, and Gu Shenge did not want to incur any karmic debts in such an unknown place.
"No need. Now that you know where you are, please leave," Nangong Jinglan said.
Gu Shenge did not forcefully intervene. She nodded, stepped into the air, and disappeared from the courtyard in an instant.
Half a month later, Nangong Jinglan was preparing to leave, and the convoy was already waiting outside the governor's mansion.
Nangong Zhiyan led her guards onto the most exquisite carriage in the middle. The Cloud Sky Horse in front of her had four snow-white hooves, and when it moved, the clouds and mist surged, as if it were about to take off at any moment.
Gu Shenge was not far away. He recognized Nangong Zhiyan. This woman was the one who had ridden the strange beast and run people over on the street that day.
Nangong Jinglan sat in the back, in a relatively exquisite carriage, but far inferior to Nangong Zhiyan's.
Just as she was about to board the carriage, a figure appeared from afar, walking on air. He was dressed in a reddish-brown brocade robe with cloud patterns and exuded a feminine aura.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Hearing his high-pitched voice, Gu Shenge realized that this guy was a eunuch!
Nangong Zhiyan and Nangong Jinglan hurriedly prepared to receive the imperial decree, and a large group of them knelt down.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Fifth Princess Nangong Jinglan has caused trouble and acted recklessly, resulting in the innocent suffering of the people. The injured have broken bones or torn flesh, and their groans and cries are heartbreaking. She has disregarded the law of the land and runs counter to the benevolent example of the royal family. This is truly unbecoming! Therefore, she is stripped of her title as princess and exiled 30,000 li back to the capital. She is forbidden from using her cultivation. Third Princess Nangong Zhiyan, in the name of her elder sister, shall supervise this matter and must not show favoritism!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jinglan stared in disbelief at the eunuch who delivered the decree: "Eunuch Huang, I have never ridden my horse and injured anyone. After burying my mother, I haven't even left the governor's mansion. Has Father made a mistake?"
The palace official, his face grim, coldly said, "Fifth Princess, this is a memorial personally submitted by the governor and the commander of the imperial guards. The imperial edict has arrived; please accept it quickly!"
Nangong Jinglan suddenly realized something and looked at Nangong Zhiyan, who had a smug look on her face.
"Nangong Zhiyan, why? Why?"
"Fifth Princess, please receive the imperial decree!" Eunuch Huang urged again.
Nangong Jinglan could only accept the imperial decree with a bitter expression, saying, "Your subject obeys!"
Nangong Zhiyan said smugly, "My dear sister, don't worry, I won't be so strict with you on the next 30,000 miles."
Eunuch Huang's face grew even colder: "Third Princess, how dare you disobey His Majesty's decree!"
Nangong Zhiyan quickly suppressed her smile and said with a smile, "Eunuch Huang, I was just comforting my younger sister as the elder sister. I would never do anything to show favoritism or abuse my power."
Then Eunuch Huang left, coming and going in a hurry.
The sudden turn of events caught Nangong Jinglan off guard. Holding the imperial edict, he stood there, humiliated. (End of Chapter)
