Chapter 307 Emperor Yunxi's "Gift"

Li Yegang wanted to continue the deduction.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness surging from the depths of his heart, followed by endless fatigue.

His eyes darkened.

The surrounding starry sky dissipated.

Even the sun and moon rings lost their brilliance and fell to the ground with a "ding-dong".

"..."

"My spiritual power is completely exhausted?"

Li Ye simply couldn't believe it.

He possessed an immense amount of spiritual power, probably more than most Nascent Soul cultivators, yet now it was completely empty, not a single drop remaining.

So this thing only takes a short time to deduce that it consumes so much spiritual power. If you want to actually deduce a result, wouldn't it require a huge amount of spirit stones?

Li Ye suddenly felt that he had found the meaning of earning spirit stones—he was truly a big spender of spirit stones.

"call."

He let out a sigh of relief.

They began to draw upon spiritual energy, preparing to welcome the soon-to-arrive fat sheep... oh no, I should say the princes.

He could already see a chariot pulled by a dragon traveling through the sky towards this place.

The chariot was made entirely of pure spirit gold and was carved with countless sculptures that were perhaps just ornate and luxurious, but it did not appear too vulgar. Instead, it was majestic and imposing.

"Tsk."

He could tell at a glance that the dragon chariot was more symbolic than practical, as if it were a display of his power.

Frankly speaking, if any other sect's disciple did this, they would probably be ridiculed by disciples from other sects for the next millennium—but in a special power structure like the Imperial Dynasty, it's considered normal.

Special and imposing.

The information Su Yu Zhenren gave Li Ye mentioned that the princes or emperors of the Yunxi Dynasty were required to lead from the front, and they all wore gleaming golden armor to ensure that they were the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.

"Therefore, their Taoist practices are closer to body tempering and martial arts, with fewer supernatural powers and spells, which leads to a greater need for food."

"interesting."

Li Ye instantly realized what he should use to entice them.

Food that is almost readily available in the Dao Fan Realm is probably quite important in the Yunxi Dynasty.

I just don't know if the other party's sage can bring him any surprises?
……

at the same time.

The dragon-drawn chariot had arrived at the island near Ruoquan Island, which was specially used to welcome guests.

Alighting from the imperial carriage were four people: three men and one woman, all dressed in auspicious robes and with different appearances, heights, and temperaments.

But they can all be described as handsome men and heroic women.

Despite being princes and princesses, there was an obvious undercurrent of tension between them. They didn't even bother to pretend to be friendly. After getting out of the carriage, they exchanged glances but didn't say a word.

As soon as they came down, they were surrounded by a circle of guards and eunuchs. Although there were only four of them, they walked forward like an army.

They were divided into four distinct teams.

The armor and weapons worn by the guards were so shiny that they looked as if they had been waxed and maintained before disembarking from the carriage. In terms of ceremonial display alone, it was indeed quite "magnificent".

"A few guests."

Hu Luo, the fox spirit from Qingqiu, who was already in the zone, went to meet him.

He smiled and said, "Welcome to Ruoquan Island in the Eastern Yang Sea of ​​the Four Seasons Sect. I am here on behalf of my master, True Person Lingye, to greet you."

"Please, everyone, follow me."

He glanced at the massive guard, a clear smile playing on his lips.

To be honest, even though it was his first time hosting guests from outside the world, he still couldn't understand why these people didn't even maintain a semblance of civility.

Even the most antagonistic family members will act friendly in front of outsiders, at least not as obviously opposed as this, or even as eager to fight.

After all, if they can't even maintain such a superficial appearance, he really doubts whether these people can support an empire.

Just as he was pondering.

A rather tall young man spoke up:

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist."

This person's auspicious attire was clearly more luxurious than the others, and he also had a more composed demeanor.

He was the first to leave his "honor squad," then glanced at his younger siblings, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

And then, the three people in the group finally stepped out one after another.

They all followed Hu Luo in silence.

Even Hu Luo felt something was very wrong—were these people really princes and princesses with the foundation to suppress the Nascent Soul stage and who were supported by the wealth of the world?

Why are they all so dazed and blank?

The fox was puzzled, but it still maintained a basic level of decorum on the surface.

He led the way and began to introduce himself:

"You all have arrived at just the right time."

"Although this place looks a bit chaotic, it is the Daoist temple of True Person Lingye. A few days ago, True Person received the title of Daoist of Transformation and nurtured and helped a large number of spirit beasts and spirit plants transform into dragons."

"That immortal peak over there is the place where the Four Seasons Sect specially opened its gates to accept disciples for True Person Lingye."

He paused here.

The original intention was to give them a chance to ask questions.

But these people didn't say a word, making Hu Luo feel like he was performing alone, which was quite awkward.

But he was becoming increasingly doubtful.

If these princes and princesses are like this, let alone coming to the Four Seasons Sect to seek help, they would be lucky if they didn't anger the Four Seasons Sect.

Is the emperor of the Yunxi Dynasty... suffering from an old age and illness?

What he didn't know was that these princes and princesses actually had their own schemes in mind. They wanted to see the Spirit Leaf True Person before making a decision, because they each had their own "trump cards".

They had expected to meet a Nascent Soul cultivator upon arriving here, but instead they only met a Golden Core cultivator, which left them somewhat disappointed.

At the same time, they secretly doubted whether "Master Lingye" really had the ability to help them.

Perhaps some of them didn't think that way, but that's how they all acted. They didn't think that Master Lingye would get angry over such a small matter, let alone drive them away.
After all, if they could sit on the throne, it would definitely be of great help to a Golden Core cultivator.

They were, after all, princes and princesses of the Yunxi Dynasty!
In this somewhat awkward atmosphere.

The group finally arrived at the reception hall on Ruoquan Island.

Inside this magnificent, golden hall, Li Ye sat at the head of the table, and his first words were:

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were all mute!"

"If you can't speak properly, you should just go back to where you came from."

That's really not a very polite thing to say.

But even though Li Ye is usually approachable, he still has his pride—these guys don't even have basic manners. Hu Luo said so much, but they just kept talking like they were sawing through a gourd. Isn't that looking down on him?

He knew that being friendly without being polite would not earn him respect.

Appropriate authority is the best medicine.

Accompanied by Li Ye's merciless voice.

"call--"

A violent storm of spiritual energy erupted within the palace. Even the four princes, all at the Golden Core level, couldn't stand firmly in the storm. It was only then that they realized just how much more powerful this Lingye Zhenren of the Four Seasons Sect was than them, even though they were all at the Golden Core level.

After the Second Prince Yun Jianyue steadied himself, he cupped his hands to Li Ye at the head of the table and said, "Just now, my siblings and I were so amazed by your grandeur that we couldn't speak."

As he spoke, he took out more than a hundred treasure chests from his storage ring, their surfaces engraved with dragon patterns and gleaming with spiritual light.

They completely filled the main hall.

"This is a gift I brought for you, Master. It is just a humble item, and I hope you will not find it offensive!"

I don't know what these princes and princesses usually study, but they suddenly became enthusiastic and took out the gifts they had prepared.

But to be honest, as princes and princesses of the Yunxi Dynasty, the precious gifts they could offer were nothing more than novelty to Li Ye.

It's nothing more than some kind of spiritual stones, materials, and treasures.

Li Ye merely glanced at them before instructing the bamboo ants to carry them all away, saying in a nonchalant tone:

“They’re all good.”

He originally wanted to do something different.

For example, showcasing one's abilities or something.

But the stupidity of these people really dampened his spirits, so he simply said:

"What brings you gentlemen to our Four Seasons Sect as guests?"

Anyway, even if these people are not good enough, he has other ways. The sect has also made it clear to him that as long as the stability of the dynasty can be guaranteed, it doesn't really matter who is the emperor.

He simply didn't want to engage in the kind of boring palace intrigue and power struggles with these people.

His directness made the princes and princesses feel uneasy.

They weren't really stupid; they could see Li Ye's dissatisfaction and perfunctory attitude. But since it was their fault, there was nothing they could say.

Now we can only try our best to make up for it.

The problem is, can one really say in public that they want to seek help for the throne?

Shouldn't these kinds of things be discussed privately?

Didn't Master Lingye know that if they could help them ascend the throne, they would surely reward them handsomely?

A feeling of helplessness spread through my heart.

Seeing that they were still silent, Li Ye's helplessness deepened. They couldn't even say something like "I want the throne."

They don't even dare to give a hint?
The fact that the emperor of the Yunxi Dynasty allowed them to come here must mean he knew what they wanted to do. It all depends on whether they can gain the approval and assistance of the Four Seasons Sect.

Otherwise, how could they secure their thrones? And how could they maintain the stability of the Cloud Dawn Realm as required by the Four Seasons Sect?

Thinking of this, Li Ye truly lost interest.

He simply waved his hand and said:

"Since you gentlemen have nothing more to say to me, then go and rest. I will have my men show you around the Eastern Yanghai Sea. When it's time, you can go back."

Done.

He simply vanished.

Hu Luo remained smiling, but there was a very obvious coldness in that smile. He extended his hand and invited:
"Please, everyone."

He really had an eye-opening day.

I never imagined there could be such a stupid person.

The princes and princesses were clearly not expecting that Li Ye would send them away without saying a word to their liking.

Does this person really not care about their identity?
The Yunxi Dynasty has cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and their father is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. No one dares to treat them like this.

Especially the tenth prince, Yun Xiao, who had always been favored by the emperor, angrily said after returning to his residence on the imperial carriage:

"That person is merely a Golden Core cultivator, how dare he!"

He picked up the jade bottle next to him and smashed it on the ground with a loud "crack." The warm and lustrous jade, which took the Ku Nu several years to mine, shattered into a pile of fragments.

The surrounding maids were so shocked that they immediately knelt down, trembling, and said:
"Please don't be angry, Master."

"That person is just looking down on others."

"Don't get so angry that you'll ruin your health!"

These maids, some plump and some slender, all extremely beautiful, quickly undressed and coaxed the handsome tenth prince to sit down, just like they were coaxing a child.

One by one, they massaged the shoulders and rubbed the waist.

The debris on the ground was quickly cleaned up.

With such a warm and soft woman in his arms, the tenth prince quickly calmed down. He felt that he definitely had to tell his father about this.

Perhaps his father would even think that he had no intention of coveting the throne and would give him some benefits. Yun Xiao was much more sensible than his brothers and sisters who coveted the throne.

Thinking this, he waved his sleeve and immediately pushed aside the maids around him, ignoring the fact that they fell to the ground one by one, their delicate skin hitting the ground and bleeding.

He straightened his clothes without paying attention to himself.

Then take out the mirror that connects with the Emperor.

His expression had returned to a state that was both handsome and pleasing, and perfectly respectful.

As the mirror lit up.

The Emperor Yunxi, who was concerned about the situation, spoke in a majestic voice:

"Xiao'er, have you seen the cultivators from the Four Seasons Sect?"

Yun Xiao nodded obediently: "I saw him, but this person seems a bit arrogant, we..."

He didn't dare to hide it.

After all, who knows if his father will find out what happened from other places, and besides, he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

He immediately told his father about it.

The majestic face of Emperor Yunxi reflected in the mirror twitched noticeably, forcing him to interrupt:
"You're saying that you and your older brother and sister all did this?"

Yun Xiao instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to answer, he heard Yunxi Emperor's icy voice:

"In that case, you are no longer my son. Cut off his head and send it to Master Lingye as an apology."

With the voice of Emperor Yunxi.

The women who had been kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, suddenly sprang up and with a light slash of their white blades, beheaded the Tenth Prince Yun Xiao.

The blood gushed out immediately.

Despite being a prince who was a Golden Core cultivator, he couldn't even put up a fight.

An expression of disbelief crossed his face.

The headless body twitched twice before collapsing amidst a pile of magnificent treasures. Blood quickly soaked his luxurious robes, and even his soul was shattered.

The woman holding the prince's head knelt silently in front of the mirror, presenting the head to the emperor without uttering a word.

The voice of Emperor Yunxi reflected in the mirror was calm to the point of indifference. He looked at the handsome head of his most beloved son and spoke:

“Tell my good children that if they offend Master Lingye, not only them, but all the women in their household will be buried with them.”

After saying that, the inspiration vanished.

Only the woman remained, quickly cleaning the bloodstains off the tenth prince's head, restoring her expression to normal, and then placing it in a brocade box, not forgetting to adorn it with jewels and jade.

They split into two groups.

One group went to convey Emperor Yunxi's message, while the other group took the still-warm gift to seek an audience with Li Ye.
