The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 181 Xiangzhu Club

"Squeak-"

The door was slowly pushed open.

What came into view was a woman in white, wearing a white dress and a veil.

The woman in white had long hair draped over her shoulders and a pair of clear eyes with a smile, as if she was looking at Li Yan with a smile.

Li Yan looked at the woman in white, frowned slightly, and said nothing.

The woman in white was not a maid in the other courtyard, and Xia Yan had no information about her in his memory.

Moreover, he felt a deep sense of threat from the woman in white.

This is a practitioner.

Although it was unknown whether he was a warrior or a sorcerer, Li Yan calculated that he had at least reached the seventh level.

Once you have entered the realm, your strength is already quite strong.

With his strength just entering the ninth rank, he was completely unable to fight against it.

He thought quickly in his mind, wondering about the chances of escaping from this person.

"If she were a sorcerer..."

Li Yan's eyes were calm, but his heart moved slightly.

At this moment, the woman in white said, "Who would have thought that the Ninth Prince of Daxia, whose martial veins were destroyed, could rely on himself to regain the ninth rank of martial arts."

"With such a talent for martial arts, if the martial veins had not been destroyed, perhaps another martial saint would have appeared in the world."

"pity……"

The woman in white spoke in a faint voice and sighed softly.

At this moment, Li Yan moved.

Warriors are within reach, and the empire is full of people.

Low-level warriors are not very strong, and the destructive power they can cause is also very small.

But for individuals, it is enough.

The woman in white was only three steps away from Li Yan.

Swish!

It only took him a moment to cover these three steps.

The woman in white showed astonishment in her eyes.

Before she could mobilize the spiritual energy in her body and cast a spell to stop Li Yan from approaching.

A pair of large hands had already grasped the snow-white neck of the woman in white, strangling her throat.

"Luckily it's a warlock!"

Li Yan felt relieved.

If the woman in white was also a warrior, then he would have no chance of getting close to her.

Moreover, with his current strength, he cannot pose any threat to a seventh-grade warrior.

The soft touch in his hand did not bring any pity to his heart.

He pinched hard, wanting to kill the man who was most likely to assassinate him.

But his hand movement was suddenly blocked by a white light.

"The magic weapon!"

Li Yan was shocked that the woman in white actually had a magical weapon.

With the magic weapon protecting his body, with his current strength of just entering the ninth level, he is completely unable to break this protective magic weapon.

The moment the magic weapon appeared, Li Yan knew that the battle was over.

He took a few steps back and looked at the woman in white calmly.

"you win."

He waited quietly for the white-clad woman to attack with magic.

I was already thinking about where I would choose to travel across the world next time.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The woman in white no longer looked so high and mighty and untainted by the world as before, and her eyes were full of fear as she looked at him.

If she hadn't used a magic weapon to protect herself, she would have fallen into Li Yan's hands with her strength as a seventh-grade sorcerer at the Qi Refining Realm. But she didn't attack Li Yan. She took a pill, stabilized her breath, and said to Li Yan: "Ninth Prince, I am Ruan Meng from the Xiangzhu Society. I am not here to harm you."

"Xiangzhu Club?"

Seeing that Ruan Meng had not yet attacked him and revealed his murderous intent, Li Yan also felt vaguely that he seemed to have hit the wrong person.

When he heard Ruan Meng mention the name of Xiangzhu Society, he also understood Ruan Meng's position.

The Xiangzhu Society is a force founded by a lineage of the Chu State.

Two years ago, Emperor Xia was assassinated, and there were traces of the Xiangzhu Society.

As he is the son of the Princess of Chu, Xiangzhu would naturally not have any ill will towards him.

But now that Ruan Meng suddenly came here, Li Yan thought that she was someone who was secretly trying to harm him, so he attacked her.

"That's right, Ninth Prince is so alert, could it be that someone wants to harm you?"

Ruan Meng was also smart. She saw that Li Yan attacked her without saying a word.

It can be seen that someone must have attacked Li Yan, so Li Yan was so alert.

"After last night, I should have been a dead man."

Li Yan's eyes flashed slightly.

The person who poured poison into Xia Yan's mouth last night, he only saw a pair of eyes in his memory.

Everything else was hidden under the black robe.

Ruan Meng showed a hint of surprise when she heard this.

"How dare they! As the Ninth Prince, aren't they afraid of Emperor Xia's blame?"

"My status as the Ninth Prince has been abolished, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Li Yan disagreed. Although he was still the ninth prince in name, he did not have any power at all.

How can a mere title scare away evil spirits?

Moreover, after the assassination, although Emperor Xia did not kill Xia Yan, he abolished his martial arts skills and imprisoned him in the Xiangshan Villa, not allowing anyone to contact him.

How is this different from killing Xia Yan?

Even if Xia Yan really died in Xiangshan Villa, he probably would not have attracted the attention of Emperor Xia.

Ruan Meng's eyes flickered slightly, and she said to Li Yan: "Ninth Prince, your mother was killed, have you never thought of revenge?"

"Revenge? If you hadn't planned to assassinate Emperor Xia, how could my mother die, and how could my martial arts skills be abolished? Even if I want revenge, I should seek revenge from you, the Xiangzhu Society."

Li Yan still doesn't fully trust that Ruan Meng is a member of Xiangzhu Society.

It is also possible that Ruan Meng was sent by Emperor Xia to test him and see if he still harbored a grudge for killing his mother.

Therefore, he certainly could not say that he was taking revenge on Emperor Xia.

Anyway, even if he said he wanted revenge on the Xiangzhu Society, the Xiangzhu Society would not be able to kill him given the royal blood of the Chu State in him.

Ruan Meng sighed and said, "We did not do a good job back then. That opportunity was too rare, so we planned to assassinate Emperor Xia."

"But I never thought that I would fail and implicate the princess and the ninth prince."

"But you don't have to say these words in front of me, Ninth Prince. It would be more appropriate to say them in front of Emperor Xia after you meet him."

Li Yan's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Ruan Meng seemed to have seen his concerns, but did not say it out loud.

He asked, "Do I still have a chance to see Emperor Xia again?"

Ruan Meng smiled slightly and nodded: "As the son of Emperor Xia, you will naturally not stay in this villa forever."

"Emperor Xia has already investigated the incident a long time ago. Your mother was not involved in the assassination."

"It's just that as the Emperor of Xia, he had to give an explanation to the ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he ordered your mother to be executed."

"Now that the limelight has passed, you have the blood of the Great Xia Dynasty in you. Although you are destined to be unable to inherit the throne, you will not be confined to the other courtyard forever."

Li Yan thought for a while and understood what Ruan Meng meant.

Now it seems that Emperor Xia has no intention of killing him.

Then the person who sent the assassin to kill him last night was not instructed by Emperor Xia, but someone else.

And that person can only be from the palace.

"I came here today to tell you that Emperor Xia will probably summon you back to the palace soon. Whether you want revenge or not, you will have many opportunities in the future."

"And my Xiangzhu Society will also provide you with assistance."
