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

Chapter 184 Moving
"I've met the Ninth Prince."

When several maids in the courtyard saw Li Yan walk out of the room, they hurriedly bowed to him.

Li Yan ignored him and walked straight out of the courtyard along the bluestone path.

Not long after, they arrived at the gate of Xiangshan Villa.

Two armored guards stood in front of the door, guarding the Xiangshan Villa.

Both of them are bone-refining warriors who have entered the seventh level of martial arts. In the outside world, they are already considered extraordinary masters.

In some small forces, he is enough to become a leader.

But such strength is really shabby to be used to protect a prince.

"Greetings to the Ninth Prince."

"Emperor Xia has ordered that the Ninth Prince must not leave the Xiangshan Villa. Please go back, Ninth Prince."

When a guard saw Li Yan coming, he thought that Li Yan wanted to leave Xiangshan Villa, so he reached out to stop Li Yan.

"I was assassinated last night."

Li's words were calm, but to the two guards, they sounded like thunder.

"Ninth Prince, this..."

The two guards looked panicked and were at a loss for what to do for a moment.

The prince was assassinated, but once such news spread, it would certainly shake the imperial city.

Moreover, they knew nothing about Li Yan's assassination attempt, so they will certainly be held accountable.

Fortunately, the ninth prince is not dead!
Otherwise, even if the Ninth Prince was not taken seriously, once the Ninth Prince died, the guards of Xiangshan Villa would definitely be buried with him.

"Send the message to the Imperial City."

Li Yan looked at the two of them indifferently with a calm expression.

"Yes!"

The two men did not dare to delay, and one of the guards hurriedly left to report the news.

The other guard followed Li Yan, fearing that Li Yan would be assassinated again.

……

the other side.

After leaving Xiangshan Villa, Ruan Meng rushed all the way to Taiqing Palace.

After returning to Taiqing Palace, she stepped into a palace.

There was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes in the hall. At this moment, he was holding a lit sandalwood incense and offering incense to the ancestor in the hall.

After the middle-aged man paid homage to the ancestor, she slowly walked in and bowed to the middle-aged man.

"Master, I have met the Ninth Prince, but this Ninth Prince is completely different from the one rumored."

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ruan Meng.

Ruan Meng said with a look of regret: "Although his martial veins were destroyed, when the disciples went to see him, they found that he had re-entered the ninth level of martial arts. With such talent, if his martial veins had not been destroyed, he would have already entered the middle third level."

"And the Ninth Prince is a very cautious person. After I told him the name of the Xiangzhu Society, he was not willing to have a close relationship with me."

"It wasn't until I mentioned the name of Taiqing Palace that he started talking to me."

The middle-aged man showed appreciation on his face when he heard this.

"That's great. As the Ninth Prince, if he is not careful, he might be set up by someone when he returns to the palace."

"As for his martial arts talent, once I connect his martial arts veins, he will be able to bring it out again."

"Although it's two years late, fortunately the Ninth Prince is still young, and these two years of precipitation may not be a bad thing."

Ruan Meng said hesitantly: "But Master, I have already asked the Ninth Prince, and he seems unwilling to re-enter the martial arts world."

"Instead, he asked me for the Qi-refining method of the Taiqing Palace, hoping to become a sorcerer."

The middle-aged man said angrily, "Nonsense! With the Ninth Prince's talent, martial arts is his best destiny. Did you agree to it?"

Ruan Meng shook her head: "Not yet, but he said he wanted to learn more about the sorcerer way in advance, so he asked me to tell him the introductory method of Qi Refining."

"To show my sincerity, I had no choice but to agree."

"But I have already told the Ninth Prince about the dangers of that Qi Refining Method, so he probably won't practice it."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's good. It's not too late now. When the Ninth Prince enters the palace, I will connect his martial arts veins and let him return to the martial arts path."

Ruan Meng continued, "There is one more thing. The Ninth Prince said that he was assassinated last night." "The identity of the assassin is still unknown."

The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold.

"Assassination?"

"Humph, apart from that woman, who else would dare to attack the Ninth Prince at this time?"

"Fortunately, the Ninth Prince has survived this disaster. No one will dare to attack him again."

Ruan Meng's heart moved when she heard this, and her eyes turned, thinking about the identity of the woman her master mentioned.

But the middle-aged man did not tell her the identity of the person who attacked Li Yan.

"Emperor Xia was originally going to send someone to welcome the Ninth Prince back to the palace in a few days."

"But after the assassination, the Ninth Prince should be allowed to leave in advance."

"I have been appointed as the deputy head of the Stargazing Pavilion. In a few days, I will also go to the Imperial City to take up my post."

"When that time comes, I'll need you to contact Xiangzhuhui on my behalf."

"Disciple accepts the order."

Ruan Meng bowed to the middle-aged man.

……

"According to Emperor Xia's order, summon the Ninth Prince Xia Yan back to the palace today. There must be no mistakes!"

A consul eunuch, accompanied by a team of guards, announced Emperor Xia's decree in the Xiangshan Villa.

Li Yan naturally accepted the order.

The safety inside the palace is much safer than in this Xiangshan Villa.

After he announced the news of his assassination, he knew that he would face this result.

This is not a bad thing for him.

Even being inside the palace did not affect his practice.

Moreover, there are many powerful people in the palace, and with Emperor Xia in charge, no one dares to murder the prince in the palace.

He had nothing to pack, so he entered the carriage neatly under the escort of the guards.

The group took Li Yan and slowly drove towards the palace.

On the road.

The hawking sounds outside the carriage were endless. Li Yan opened the curtain of the carriage, and the prosperous scene of the imperial city fell into his eyes.

"What a peaceful and prosperous time."

Li Yan sighed softly.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, most of the monsters have been kept out of the southern barbarians.

All the territory of Daxia is protected by warriors and sorcerers, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

As the most precious place close to the Great Xia Palace, the Imperial City is naturally more prosperous, and traces of monsters are rarely seen.

Even if there were demons and ghosts causing trouble, they would be quickly killed by the warriors and sorcerers near the imperial city.

For many ordinary people, this is the best of times.

Although Li Yan had some resentment towards Emperor Xia because the biological mother of this body was sentenced to death by Emperor Xia, he had to acknowledge his achievements.

The eunuch in charge was riding a horse beside Li Yan's carriage. When he heard what Li Yan said, a smile appeared on his face.

"Emperor Xia is wise and powerful. Only under his protection can the people of Great Xia live and work in peace and contentment, and create this peaceful and prosperous era."

"The Ninth Prince has such awareness, and it is worth the Emperor Xia's care and love for you."

"When I learned that you had been assassinated, I hurriedly summoned you back to the palace."

Li Yan smiled faintly. If Emperor Xia really cared about Xia Yan, he would not have had Xia Yan's martial veins destroyed and imprisoned him in the Xiangshan Villa.

And it took two years at a time.

A sixteen-year-old child, whose biological mother was sentenced to death, was confined to a small courtyard.

This also caused Xia Yan to be depressed in Xiangshan Villa until last night, when he was assassinated by someone in the palace.

Li Yan didn't believe that Emperor Xia had some love for his predecessor, Xia Yan.
