Half-life immortal

Chapter 142 The Heir of Juecheng, the Emperor's Nightmare!

Xue Qinglan has made up her mind, but she still needs to clarify some things with Feng Yutian.

She sat upright, swept away the haze in her heart, and said: "Feng Yutian, there is something I have to tell you."

Feng Yutian looked at her strangely, unable to guess what she wanted to say.

"Actually..." She hesitated, thinking about how to word her words, and said, "I don't really want to marry Senior Brother Xu, this marriage was just a show from the beginning."

"What?" Feng Yutian was taken aback, as if he didn't understand what she meant.

Xue Qinglan said eloquently: "After the dance at the Baijiang Tower that day, the emperor sent someone to order me to enter the palace. You know, the emperor's order. I don't know the reason for it. It was a bad day and I didn't go, so I entered the palace. Who would have thought that the old emperor wanted me to marry Senior Brother Xu? It was inexplicable. Later I learned from Senior Brother Xu that the Emperor wanted to find an excuse to use his troops without arousing the suspicion of many immortal cultivators in the city. The excuse is to let me marry Senior Brother Xu."

"So?" Feng Yutian didn't understand, but still looked at her suspiciously.

Xue Qinglan patted him lightly, and said: "Don't you understand? Today's marriage is just a play, to attract everyone's attention. I just foolishly took the bait! Otherwise, you think I will really marry Xu Can't senior brother?"

Her last sentence was the most important to Feng Yutian, he understood immediately, and at the same time let go of the last trace of concern in his heart, nodded and said: "So that's it..."

Xue Qinglan was not satisfied with his attitude, and said: "Why is this so! It's all your fault! Why did you come! You know me——Anyway, anyway, you obviously want me to trap Senior Brother Xu in this way. Unrighteous! They finally asked me for a favor, but I messed it up in the end! Brother Xu must be angry with me..."

She couldn't help but feel depressed, she always felt that no matter what happened today, not to mention the mess up of the marriage, it also made Xu Shili lose face, and Master Yue Qingwu didn't know whether he was alive or not, and thinking of being chased and killed by the Da Luo royal family in the future, How did she feel better!
Feng Yutian gently hugged her into his arms, and said: "I'm sorry, but even so, I can't let you marry someone else, if I had known earlier, I would have stopped it earlier, so that I wouldn't let you lose your trust. "

Xue Qinglan was immediately dissatisfied, she pushed him away forcefully, pouted and said, "You are so overbearing! Why can't I marry someone else? It's like I'm your private property! You stipulated that I can only marry Give it to you? Don't be so smug!"

What she said made Feng Yutian stunned for a while, and said awkwardly: "I originally thought that your willingness to go with me meant..."

Xue Qinglan stood up angrily, and said, "What does it mean? I'm just—too angry! I'm so angry that I don't want to get married, can't I? You should stop putting gold on your face! This girl can stay if she wants to, and leave if she wants to go." Just go, what does it have to do with you!"

She didn't have any confidence in what she said, but she just had a stubborn mouth and refused to admit her intentions.

Nonsense, who is she, Xue Qinglan!She thinks that she is the most difficult woman in the world, and only others can confess to her, how can she take the initiative to express her heart?And still to a piece of wood!Xue Qinglan, who has always been proud and arrogant, absolutely cannot accept the result of such a loss.

Feng Yutian didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't have any experience in relationships, and even he who was always alone and widowed rarely even watched other people's love affairs, even if he had very strong feelings for her in his heart, but He still doesn't know how to express it clearly to her, as if this kind of thing is more difficult than cultivating to become a fairy.Besides, in terms of timing, he didn't think this frozen ruins was a good place to express his heart.

Naturally, Xue Qinglan didn't want to force him. In fact, in the palace hall before, she followed him more out of impulse, and rationally speaking, she couldn't think clearly.How can she force others to do things that she is not sure about?
She pulled Feng Yutian up and said: "Okay, don't waste time, I think there will be soldiers patrolling or hunting down soon, let's get out of the city quickly! The city is too dangerous!"

Feng Yutian is dependent on her for everything, as long as she is here, nothing else is important, and he has nothing to care about in Jiangdu City, as long as she says to go, he will go with her.

"Where do you want to go?" Feng Yutian asked her softly as they walked towards the city gate vigilantly.

Xue Qinglan also didn't have a clear goal, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, do you have any good ideas?"

Feng Yutian also shook his head, and said: "I have never been near Jiangdu City, but now that the human world is in turmoil, the master's gate has disappeared, and there is no shelter after all."

Xue Qinglan said: "Feng Yutian, I want to find Elder Sister Yue. She must have been in danger. She is kind to me, and I have to repay her. If Wen Liu was by her side, maybe I would take her to hide somewhere We may even seek help from the monster race. Our identities are not convenient for direct contact with the monster race, but if we wait and see what happens in the dark, we may be able to find clues."

"Then what do you mean?" Feng Yutian didn't have the slightest objection to her proposal.

She looked around and made sure that no one was around, and then said in a low voice: "I mean, we don't need to go far after we leave the city, so we will wait near the outside of the city. It's been a few days, and Da Luo will make a big move by then, we can watch it clearly from the sidelines, and if it doesn't work, we can ask the elder sister and the others to help... Well, I hope today's incident will not affect them."

For the elder sister Shen Jiarou and the second senior brother Situ Xiu, Xue Qinglan was not too worried, because they were not weaker than Xue Qinglan in terms of cultivation strength or life experience, so instead of worrying about them, she should think more about herself.Presumably, no matter what troubles they encounter, the difficulty of overcoming them is much lower than hers, and they will be safe.

Now it was the eve of the Demon Elimination Ceremony, people were coming and going at the city gate, Xue Qinglan and Feng Yutian easily left the city, away from the turmoil in Jiangdu city.

When Xue Qinglan decided to leave Jiangdu City, Xu Shili also learned about Yue Qingwu, and hurried to the palace to face the saint.

Surrounded by a group of concubines, the emperor was gossiping in Yuquan Pavilion, when he heard Xu Shili begging to see him, he asked the concubines to retreat and let Xu Shili come in.Judging from his expression, he seemed to know why Xu Shili came here.

Xu Shili hurriedly said after saluting: "Father, do you know—"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor reprimanded: "Yan'er, Gu taught you not to panic no matter what happens, but what do you look like now?"

Xu Shili bowed his head and remained silent, he knew that all his actions today could not be hidden from his father's eyes, and what he did seemed to be really not a suitable prince, so it is not surprising that his father would scold him.

The emperor didn't continue talking about him, but instead said: "The girl you like has left Jiangdu City and is with another man, what do you want to do?"

It was only then that Xu Shili knew that Xue Qinglan had left, so he remained silent.

Talking to the emperor is often not an easy task. Xu Shili originally asked his father with his own questions, but when he came in front of him, the emperor diverted his attention to other places with a single word, making him almost forget himself. What is the purpose of entering the palace.

But he couldn't ignore the emperor's question, so he continued, "My son doesn't know, what do you mean by asking the emperor...?"

The emperor said lightly: "This woman failed you and made you lose face. Aren't you angry?"

Xu Shili frowned slightly, but then relaxed, and said: "I was forced to marry her, so why should I let her down? I promised her that no matter when she wants to leave, I will never stop her. As for the face One thing is that Junior Brother Feng came here by accident, and Xiaoxue is also unwilling."

The emperor drank tea leisurely, and said: "But she left with another man after all. The woman my royal family likes is so ignorant. As a man, don't you think it's okay?"

Xu Shili smiled wryly, and said, "Father, is it possible that today he wants to discuss with his ministers how to cultivate themselves and keep the family in order?"

The emperor put down his teacup and said calmly, "Otherwise, so what? You want to ask about that dancing girl?"

Xu Shili cupped his hands and said: "Father is really good at predicting things, and my son is planning to ask Father for advice on Yue Qingwu. I don't know what happened to Miss Yue? How could someone burn, kill, and plunder outside our Da Luo Imperial City?"

The emperor played with the lid of the teacup absently, and said: "There are too many people who can burn, kill and loot outside our Da Luo imperial city, not to mention those powerful people in the fairy world and the demon world, even in the human world, there are strong people. It is the desert. The military strength of several countries is not weaker than our Daluo. If these people want to come to Daluo to disturb the wind and rain, who can stop it? Yan'er, although our Daluo is strong, we are prepared for danger in times of peace. It is still far away to sit back and relax in the middle distance. Put away your arrogance and act low-key and cautious."

"Yes……"

Xu Shili said yes, but he was more and more puzzled in his heart.He has practiced in Taiqing Mountain for more than ten years, and no one knows the real situation in the Six Realms better than him. He also knows the strength of Da Luo's army, and he doesn't need the emperor to mention it.There are many strong people in the world, and he never dared to underestimate them, and what the emperor said to him today obviously had other intentions, and he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.

He asked cautiously: "Father, what do you mean... the matter of Yue Qingwu was done by a strong man we should not provoke?"

Only then did the emperor look at him with deep meaning, and said earnestly, "Do you know the identity of that dancer?"

Xu Shili was puzzled, and said: "The world respectfully calls Ms. Yue the 'No. [-] Dancer in the World'. Does she still have an ulterior identity?"

The emperor said leisurely: "She is the only descendant of Juecheng's lineage in the world."

"Juecheng?" Xu Shili thought for a while, it seemed that he had never heard of this name, and he didn't know what sect Juecheng was.

The emperor said: "No wonder you don't know, Juecheng has disappeared a long time ago. In fact, Juecheng is not the sect clan you guessed, but just an organization founded by a peerless dancer. They are all women, they are all peerless beauties who are good at singing and dancing, and fascinate all living beings. The reason why they can stand proudly in the world is because Wu Juecheng, the founder of Juecheng, created a unique technique. In your words It is a method that can absorb the energy of the world for your own use."

His words were very general, just a simple statement without adding any tone. Xu Shili listened carefully, but he didn't expect how surprising it was.After all, there are too many methods in the world, and all kinds of weird and new methods are changing with each passing day. It is not surprising that Juecheng has its own unique method.

The emperor went on to say: "This method is called 'entraining qi' by the world, and it may not be effective in a single battle, but if it is used in a large-scale battle, such as a battle between two countries, its effect is too terrible, completely He can turn the tide of battle with one person. In the era of Juecheng, there was a brilliant record, that is, a woman in Juecheng led [-] elite soldiers and completely defeated an army of [-]."

Xu Shili couldn't help but take a deep breath, five hundred to one hundred thousand, this clear difference in numbers is more shocking than any description.He finally understood how unnatural the method of entraining qi created by Wu Juecheng was.

Before contacting the emperor, could Miss Yue Qingwu Yue also know how to entrain Qi?Then isn't she also a peerless powerhouse who can turn the tide?
Xu Shili couldn't help asking: "Since entraining energy is so powerful, why did Juecheng not fall down?"

The emperor explained: "Entraining Qi is powerful, but the caster is not. The woman in Juecheng is just an introduction, like a rope that binds countless branches together. Even if the combined force is extremely powerful, if this The rope itself is extremely fragile, so you don’t need to fight hard, just find a way to cut the rope.”

Xu Shili understood a little bit, and said, "Because the people of Juecheng are too powerful, they were besieged and killed by the enemy, and they fell in the end?"

This is easy to understand. If a person poses a great threat to others, and the person himself does not have the corresponding self-protection power, he will inevitably face the fate of dying in the end.

The emperor said: "Back then when Juecheng was besieged and killed, there were many powerful forces, and I, Daluo, had not yet been born. Later, the heirs of Juecheng could only hide in the world, carefully hiding their identities. The last time the people of Juecheng showed up It has been more than ten years ago. At that time, my Da Luo was in its power and prosperity. What I saw with my own eyes was the frightening thing about the Yin Qi Method, which was that thin and weak woman who could control the life and death of thousands of troops. "

Xu Shili had almost guessed the final result when he heard this, and asked softly, "Then what happened in the end?"

The emperor said earnestly: "In that battle, our Da Luo suffered heavy losses, not only the loss of troops, but also a serious blow to morale. Even though we barely made up for the lack, our Da Luo's pace of unifying the Central Plains was indefinitely delayed." The delay was delayed, and the original cause was just that frail woman."

"What about the woman?" Xu Shili really wanted to know the final result of that woman.

The emperor did not hide anything, and said: "Since she was killed by someone sent by Gu, the orphan can only feel at ease when she sees her severed head. Otherwise, how can Gu's throne be secured?"

Xu Shili suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the royal father cared so much about Yue Qingwu. In fact, it was not because of her title as the world's number one dancer, but because she was very likely to be the heir of Juecheng!Thinking that Laiyue Qingwu has such a great reputation, but she can only go on the road alone with a demon clan. Not only does she have no other guards around her, she even takes care in daily life and travel, so her root lies here!
In that case, the person the emperor killed was most likely Yue Qingwu's master, or her other disciples.For Yue Qingwu, the Da Luo royal family is the enemy, but for the Emperor Da Luo, Yue Qingwu, the heir to the city, is not a midnight nightmare?
The emperor suddenly talked about these old events, naturally not for nostalgia, but to tell him some truth.Xu Shili was born intelligent, so he naturally understood what the emperor meant: In fact, the emperor wanted to say that Yue Qingwu was very dangerous, and her existence was very likely to endanger Da Luo's life.In other words, how could His Majesty the Emperor, who had already learned about this incident, tolerate the existence of Yue Qingwu?
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore and sleep!What's more, it was a matter of Da Luo's survival. Obviously, the emperor had already made up his mind to kill Yue Qingwu when he confirmed Yue Qingwu's identity.Then Yue Qingwu was attacked today, it was 100% ordered by the emperor!
After Xu Shili figured this out, his complexion became extremely gloomy, and he said, "Father, what about Xiaoxue? Do you also regard her as a person in the city?"

The emperor said: "I still remember that day when I came to the Baijiang tower alone to watch your girl dance, I found that she can also induce qi. It's just that she has only studied for a short time and her cultivation level is poor. Half of the power is not comparable to that of the dancer, but in time, if she continues to practice with the dancer, she will definitely become another powerful descendant of Juecheng."

Xu Shili suddenly felt unbelievable, and said: "Father, do you want me to marry Xiaoxue just to find out Miss Yue's whereabouts from her mouth? What are you going to do after dealing with Miss Yue? Do you want me to kill Xiaoxue?" ?"

The emperor glanced at him and said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Although Gu remembers the people of Juecheng, the heirs of Juecheng don't know that Gu killed the woman back then, so they came to Jiangdu unintentionally. But she She has always been cautious, never staying in the same place for more than a few months, and her whereabouts are secretive. This is the reason why Gu has not been able to catch her for many years. And her coming to Jiangdu this time is a god-sent opportunity, but Gu still discovered it too late , in order to prevent her from leaving, I asked you to marry her disciple, since it is a lifelong event for a disciple, it is certainly not good for a master to leave at this time."

He continued with confidence: "As for your Xiaoxue, it would be the best if she can be used by Da Luo. My Da Luo has added another female general, and conquering the world is just around the corner. But if not, I don't worry about her as a little girl." The baby can turn the world upside down. Gu already sent someone to capture her, but the man next to her is really extraordinary, he can kill all the people that Gu sent, so that it is not easy for Gu to send more people now .”
