Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 118 Princess Xin: I Don't Like Men
Cao Fuhu still found it hard to accept the reason given by the bone-scraping knife: "Someone as beautiful as you, does Jiang Ping'an still care about gender? Is he a normal person?"

"He is, which is why my Dao heart can never be perfected. I don't understand why there are men in this world who don't like me?" The Bone-Scraping Knife didn't understand.

Cao Fuhu didn't understand either.

How delicious the bone scraper is!

"Even you look down on him, it seems that Jiang Ping'an has big ambitions."

The voice of the bone-scraping knife was chilling: "If Lian Shan Jingcheng can really prove that it is Jiang Ping'an, I want to see what kind of woman can defeat me."

Cao Fuhu thought for a moment, and seemed to remember her: "She was a sickly woman who had always been in poor health."

The bone-scraping knife exuded even more murderous intent: "Anyone who can defeat me is no ordinary woman; she must have a secret."

"Maybe. If you can't take down Jiang Ping'an, try taking down his son."

At this point, Cao Fuhu believed that there was a 90% chance that Lian Shan Jingcheng was Jiang Ping'an.

Too many coincidences cease to be coincidences and become facts.

This is the logic of judgment used by important people.

"I will. There is only one stone like Jiang Ping'an in this world. Even if Lian Shanxin really has a pair of heavenly eyes, he will still submit to my beauty."

He was absolutely confident in his abilities; he wasn't even afraid of his identity being exposed.

Just like Cao Fuhu, they had long known his identity, and even knew that being sexually exploited by him would leave them listless.

But so what?
He returned with a vengeance, and Cao Fuhu still reveled in it. Even knowing the dire consequences, he couldn't control himself.

The ultimate art of seduction, like a bone-scraping knife, possesses a captivating charm that can topple empires.

So far, it has only failed on Jiang Ping'an.

Glancing at Cao Fuhu, who was itching to act again, Guagudao even kindly reminded him, "You're only at the Domain Realm, barely able to withstand one of my favors. If it happens again, you'll really have to go see Lianshan Jingcheng for treatment again."

"Wouldn't that be even better? That way, I'll have a reason to reconnect with Lian Shan Jingcheng."

Cao Fuhu chuckled and lunged forward.

"Oh well, what a little glutton."

The bone scraper blew out the candlelight in the room.

I don't know if I am a guest in my dream, and I am greedy for a while.

……

The third day after the death of the Blood Guanyin.

Lian Shanxin finished his morning meditation early and left his room.

They discovered that Zhuo Biyu and Tian Ji were already practicing together.

The team members were all very hardworking, which made Lian Shanxin feel a little pressure.

So he said to Thousand Faces, "Disciple, you need to work harder."

Qianmian was speechless: "Master, you can only benefit from my strength if you become a Grandmaster. In order to help you improve your strength as soon as possible after you become a Grandmaster, I only dare to heal my injuries now and dare not restore my cultivation level."

Although he was cursed by the gods, the curse on Thousand Faces was not as severe as expected because he had a Grandmaster at full health and a half-step Grandmaster to share the burden.

It's impossible to recover to the Grandmaster level in a short time, but recovering to the Grandmaster level in half a month and the Domain level in a month shouldn't be a big problem.

But Lian Shanxin wouldn't allow it.

For the sake of the Dragon-Supporting Immortal Technique, Qianmian decided to endure it a little longer.

This teacher's admiration cannot be in vain.

Only by progressing together with Lianshanxin, sharing both glory and fortune, can we create new bonds.

Lian Shanxin instructed, "You also need to think of a way to help me advance to Grandmaster as soon as possible."

Thousand Faces was speechless once again.

Cultivation has always been a personal matter.

But my mentor is too fond of taking shortcuts.

He could only do his best to find a solution for Lian Shanxin: "Master, you have only been cultivating for a short time, and your cultivation has improved very quickly. Haste makes waste. Putting too much pressure on yourself can easily lead to qi deviation."

Lian Shanxin nodded: "That's what I think too, so we need to look for opportunities from the outside world and not put any more pressure on ourselves."

Thousand Faces: "..."

There's a reason you can be my mentor.

"Disciple, if I don't demand too much of myself, what other way is there to quickly become a Grandmaster?" Lian Shanxin asked without shame.

This disciple was, after all, a grandmaster in his day. Although he was no match for me, his knowledge was still there.

Qianmian gave Lian Shanxin an unexpected surprise: "Master, I have a plan."

"What's the plan?"

“Master, you are too young and your strength is too low. You can’t get into the circles of some big shots, especially those circles that involve the ever-changing situation in Jiangzhou and even the world.”

Lian Shanxin nodded.

He agrees with this statement.

Although he did a lot of things behind the scenes and indirectly caused a huge uproar in the capital, it was actually Qianmian who was leading the charge.

If he himself had succeeded in defeating Emperor Yongchang twice, Lian Shanxin estimated that his domain realm would be stable.

Even though he had mastered the true meaning of the Dragon Slayer, he dared not confront Emperor Yongchang, a Grandmaster-level figure, right now.

Strength is the foundation of confidence.

Lian Shanxin is not strong enough right now, so he can only play with Emperor Yongchang's son for the time being.

You can't associate with Emperor Yongchang.

"If you can't get into that circle, you won't be able to get the most direct benefits. So you must get into that circle. If you can't do it yourself, you have to learn to rely on your family's support." Qianmian reminded him, "Master, are those princes and princesses more talented than you? Isn't it because they have a good family background?"

“Great minds think alike; they are far inferior to me.” Lian Shanxin deeply agreed.

If compared to others, Lian Shanxin might be more modest.

Comparing himself to the princes and princesses, Lian Shanxin thought to himself that his Dragon-Slaying True Intent was already itching for more.

I'll kill every single one that comes my way.

"It's a pity I didn't have a good father," Renzan Nobunaga sighed. "My father was just too lazy."

“My dear teacher, you have it.”

"what?"

"Master, do you know who the most powerful person in the Nine Heavens is?"

"Queen of Heaven."

"Um... what about second place?"

"Heavenly calculation?"

The divination was incredibly accurate. It predicted that the dragon's offspring was born with a seductive nature and would end up in Jiangzhou, and that the royal family would suffer a bloody disaster this month. Every divination left a deep impression on Lian Shanxin.

If it weren't for the fact that Tian Suan wasn't his enemy, even Shan Xin would have feared that Tian Suan would reveal some secrets that would be detrimental to unity.

Fortunately, Tian Suan deeply understood the principle that divination cannot be fully calculated, which is why he was able to stand firm in the heavens.

However, Qianmian shook his head: "It is the Heavenly Physician."

"The Heavenly Physician?" Lian Shanxin seemed to be deep in thought.

"Yes, it's the Heavenly Physician. Master, although the divination by the Heavenly Calculation is accurate, most of the strong in this world believe that my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven. Although the Heavenly Sword is a powerful divine sword, there is also the Immortal Sword above the Heavenly Sword, so it won't make other Grandmasters too wary. What can truly earn the respect of all Grandmasters is the Heavenly Physician, because you never know when you will be seriously injured, and this injury may only be healable by the Heavenly Physician."

Lian Shanxin thought of the Crown Prince.

Although the Crown Prince's illness could be cured without the Heavenly Physician's help, the Crown Prince, being of such high status, still stood in front of the Heavenly Physician's door in the heavy snow for a whole day. The Crown Prince even knelt down at one point, but the Heavenly Physician ignored him and didn't even bother to open the door.

Afterwards, the crown prince dared not retaliate against the imperial physician, because the physician had saved Emperor Yongchang's life twice.

"Master, the good karma that Tianyi has cultivated is probably the most among all the Grandmasters. The second most should be Jiang Ping'an." Qianmian reminded him, "As Tianyi's first disciple, Jiang Ping'an was once known for surpassing his master, bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded. He made a name for himself both in and out of court. If Yama wanted someone to die at midnight, Ping'an would keep them alive until dawn. Even now, there are still quite a few experts who regard Jiang Ping'an as their savior."

Lian Shanxin understood Qianmian's meaning: "You want me to inherit Jiang Ping'an's connections."

Qianmian added, "The premise is that your father is Jiang Ping'an. But I think that shouldn't be too difficult for you."

After all, even Lian Shanxin dared to impersonate Maitreya, so what's wrong with letting Lian Shanjingcheng impersonate Jiang Ping'an?
Besides, who knows if it's an imposter?

“Master, after you return home today, please discuss this with your father. If you have the amulet, I believe that apart from His Majesty and the King of Hell whose fate is uncertain, everyone else will treat you differently. And you are already prepared for His Majesty's opinion.”

Lian Shanxin's heart skipped a beat.

Of course, he knew that the most important aspect of Qianmian's suggestion would be to involve Lianshan Jingcheng.

However, the rules of the Nine Heavens can protect against the Demonic Cult, but not against the number one leader.

If you place all your hopes on rules set by others, then you're truly doomed.

Lian Shanxin is an insecure person, and he also lacks trust in the top leader.

When you can rely on yourself, you should rely on yourself.

“I will seriously consider your suggestion, my disciple.”

“Master, there’s a saying you’ve surely heard: ‘When you’re in the game, you give yourself your identity.’”

Lian Shanxin patted Qianmian on the shoulder to show his approval.

It must be said that the eldest apprentice is very considerate in this regard. "Come on, practice with me."

Lian Shanxin did not choose to join Tian Ji and Zhuo Biyu's sparring session.

After all, he had cultivated the Dragon-Slaying True Intent, and his combat strength at the same level was stronger than Qi Shiyun's. He was afraid that if he fought beyond his level, he might accidentally defeat Zhuo Biyu and Tian Ji, and then they would be too ashamed to show their faces.

Prince Xin has always been so understanding, so when he wants to fight, he specifically chooses to fight Grandmasters.

Qianmian, wearing Du Jiu's face, was on the verge of tears: "Master, are you even human? My injuries haven't healed yet!"

Lian Shanxin frowned and said, "On the battlefield, everyone serves their own master and faces death together. Who cares if you are injured or not? Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you won't make a move, I will."

Before he could finish speaking, Lian Shanxin struck out with his palm.

The golden-winged roc formed from true qi spread its wings and soared, allowing Qianmian to feel the long-lost pressure from a master of true intent.

boom!
From the very first exchange, Prince Xin gained an absolute advantage.

The commotion was so great that it caught the attention of both Zhuo Biyu and Tian Ji.

Then, the two of them covered their faces at the same time.

"When will I be able to have a face like Ashin's?" Tian Ji said enviously.

Zhuo Biyu retorted directly, "I bet Ah Xin will definitely say later, 'Heavenly Eye Four Victories Thousand Faces,' and wins!"

She guessed correctly.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lian Shanxin stepped on Qianmian, his imposing figure and aura soaring to the heavens: "A thousand faces, ten thousand forms, none can escape the Heavenly Eye. Qianmian, I, Lian Shanxin, am your nemesis. You've lost this round again!"

Thousand Faces lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

He's already lost all his money.

Tian Ji began to sympathize with Qianmian, feeling that Axin was truly despicable: "Axin, can your chosen lineage improve its cultivation level by throwing matches?"

Lian Shanxin pointed out, "Directly raising your realm is certainly not an option, but each time I defeat a Grandmaster, I can gradually forge my invincible Dao heart. Tell me, who in the world can defeat a Grandmaster at the True Intent Realm? Those who can achieve such a feat are absolutely geniuses who have amazed the world throughout history."

This is what proves he has the appearance of Maitreya.

After a pause, Lian Shanxin looked at Qianmian: "By the way, disciple, shouldn't the sect leader be able to tell if I'm lying?"

Thousand Faces: "..."

My mentor had actually considered this step.

Start cultivating your ability to speak the truth now.

As long as you don't tell the whole truth and don't tell any lies, even if a god came, he couldn't disprove Lianshan Xin's achievements.

“My dear teacher, you absolutely have the bearing of Maitreya.”

He was completely convinced.

Within the Demonic Cult, there is a hierarchy, and whoever is stronger is considered the father—a principle that Qianmian believes is perfectly reasonable.

Lian Shanxin was very pleased with the smooth transformation of Qianmian.

In contrast, Tian Ji and Zhuo Biyu were still somewhat attached to appearances.

Just then, Qi Shiyun walked in from outside.

"What are you doing?"

"After you finish your meditation practice, practice with each other."

Qi Shiyun glanced around, nodded casually, and then said, "I just came back from Lord Tianjian's place. Lord Tianjian accompanied General Fuhu to the governor's mansion to take up his post, and the Celestial Master went to Kuangshan. Ah Xin, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

Lian Shanxin's heart stirred.

Is Qi Tanhua about to reveal his true colors?
When the time came, he became somewhat uneasy.

Lian Shanxin also had to admit that while he and Qi Shiyun trusted each other most of the time, they did not have complete trust.

Given that the six supernatural powers can devour each other, the outcome of the confrontation between the two suspected demonic fetuses is highly uncertain.

But since Qi Shiyun had already spoken, Lian Shanxin couldn't refuse.

While he hesitated slightly, Qianmian got up from the ground and said calmly, "Qi Tanhua, Young Master Xin's parents already know that he returned to Bailudong Academy last night. He was originally going to go home early this morning."

"It's alright, I just have some small things to talk to Ashin about, it won't take too long."

As soon as Qi Shiyun finished speaking, Tian Ji and Zhuo Biyu exchanged a glance.

Lian Shanxin chuckled and walked toward Qi Shiyun's room: "Alright, Ninth Brother, you wait outside for a bit, I'll be back soon."

"I will obey your orders, young master."

"Du Jiu" watched as Lian Shanxin entered Qi Shiyun's room with an unchanging expression.

Just as Tian Ji was about to speak, he saw Qianmian make a gesture to shut up.

Tian Ji nodded slightly and left the courtyard with Zhuo Biyu, making sure their conversation wouldn't be overheard by the Grandmaster.

Then Zhuo Biyu asked in a deep voice, "Is it a bone scraper?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be." Qianmian nodded slightly.

The real Qi Shiyun knows that he is currently using the identity of Du Jiu.

He also knew that Lian Shanxin had not yet had time to inform his parents that he had returned to Jiangzhou.

"My mentor was the first to notice something was wrong when he didn't immediately accept Qi Shiyun's invitation."

Qianmian could see Lianshan's wolfish ambitions towards Qi Shiyun.

But just now, Lian Shanxin clearly hesitated.

This immediately alerted Qianmian, who then quickly discovered traces of his own deception on "Qi Shiyun".

Qianmian sighed even more, "My mentor is truly a mentor. The techniques I taught him were never discovered by him before."

"Alright, stop praising Xiao Xin." Tian Ji interrupted Qian Mian's flattery of Lian Shan Xin: "I'll go find Lord Tianjian now."

"There's no need to panic so much. Unlike other demonic masters, Gua Gu Dao doesn't like killing. Now that she's come after our master, at most she'll just get to appreciate his inner beauty." Qianmian said calmly, "Given Gua Gu Dao's charm, it's hard to say who will come out on top."

Tian Ji was still somewhat worried: "I'm afraid that Xiao Xin's body will be depleted by this demoness's sexual exploitation."

"If that's the case, then we can see if Xiaoxin's father is Jiang Ping'an."

Zhuo Biyu calmed down as well: "We still have to go and invite Master. I will go and invite him myself. In any case, we cannot entrust Xiaoxin's safety to a Grandmaster of the Demonic Path."

Thousand Faces did not stop it.

Although he believed that the bone-scraping knife was likely just a tool to gather information about his mentor, coupled with a desire to taste the demonic fetus.

But he didn't know whether or not a demon fetus could be harvested for sexual enhancement.

If something really happens, with his current cultivation level, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.

Thousand Faces is now curious about something else:

"Will the cult leader be furious that he can't find me and Blood Guanyin?"

……

Not to mention that the leader of the Demonic Cult has not yet received news from Blood Guanyin and Thousand Faces.

Lian Shanxin walked into Qi Shiyun's room, sat opposite "Qi Shiyun," his expression was normal, and his heartbeat was steady. His well-tested acting skills allowed him to not reveal any flaws, even though he was now facing a Grandmaster of the Demonic Path.

He was certainly not as gifted as Qianmian thought, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong with "Qi Shiyun".

It was Qianmian's words that reminded him.

Lianshanxin immediately received the signal and identified "Bone Scraper" as the perpetrator.

However, none of them dared to expose the seemingly clever but actually flawed disguise of the bone scraper.

To prevent the Grandmaster from tearing up the ticket in a fit of rage.

And, a skilled hunter always appears as the prey.

At that moment, Lian Shanxin was actually prepared to sacrifice himself.

Although he didn't want his first time to be defiled by a witch.

But innocence can never be more important than life.

As long as he can hold out until Zhang Aniu returns, his safety can be assured.

However, this legendary master of demonic arts, who was said to be promiscuous, was not as indiscriminate as Lian Shanxin thought.

After Lian Shanxin sat down opposite him, Guagudao first tried to build rapport with him by pouring him a cup of tea.

"Did you feel any improvement during your sparring session?" the bone-scraping knife then asked with concern.

Lianshan thought to himself, "It's true that everyone has their own expertise. If you let Qianmian ask, there won't be any flaws everywhere."

"Du Jiu is too weak. If I want to improve, I'm afraid I'll have to find a master on the Hidden Dragon Ranking to fight," Lian Shanxiao said.

"That's true. With your age and strength, it's indeed time for you to strive for the Hidden Dragon Ranking." Gua Gu Dao nodded, then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, isn't your relationship with the Crown Prince a little too good?"

Lian Shanxin kept hypnotizing himself that the person sitting opposite him was Qi Shiyun, and that all his answers were addressed to Qi Shiyun. Then he blurted out, "I don't like men."

The smile on his face froze.

At this moment, just as at that moment.
