The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

This made the two of them increasingly uncomfortable.

In contrast, Helian Yazhi didn't even glance at the delicacies before her, instead focusing on writing and drawing on a scroll, while those around her seemed completely unfazed.

As for the three brothers, Helian Yun, Helian Yao, and Helian Lanfeng, they were toasting each other from time to time, appearing to be very much like brothers.

They're all just good actors.

The banquet didn't last long, ending in about half an hour. Qin Yangjun and Changsun Youyou were both relieved. Helian Yazhi had helped Qin Yangjun and Changsun Youyou by blocking the nobles and princes who wanted to make friends with them, which eased a lot of their pressure.

As he was leaving, Helian Yao came over and openly invited Qin Yangjun to his residence for a few drinks. Helian Yun also extended an invitation for a sparring match the next day, but Qin Yangjun declined both invitations.

Seeing that the two had been thwarted, Helian Lanfeng seemed to have suppressed his thoughts.

After the banquet, Emperor Yan did not return to his own palace, but went to a side hall next door.

In the center of the side hall sat a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe. Upon seeing the man, Emperor Yan bowed respectfully and uttered two words.

"Ancestor."

The patriarch of the Yan Kingdom slowly nodded, then spoke:

"This Qin Yangjun is no ordinary person. He possesses a powerful divine sense. If I had investigated him earlier, he would have definitely discovered me. He might have thought we had ulterior motives. If he leaves, Yazhi will probably be tormented by the cold poison for the rest of her life. So for Yazhi's sake, suppress your curiosity and don't delve into Qin Yangjun's secrets."

"Mu Xianxian values ​​this younger brother so much, so his trump card must have been given to him by Mu Xianxian. Mu Xianxian has now broken through to the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and can stir up the winds and clouds of two continents with a wave of her hand. If she finds out that you are plotting against her younger brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

Emperor Yan lowered his head and let out a long sigh. He seemed hesitant to speak, and the patriarch of the Yan Kingdom frowned.

"What, are you really that stubborn? Do you think your head is harder than Mu Xianxian's sword blade?"

"No, Ancestor, it's...something else."

"Just say what you have to say, what kind of behavior is this, all this hesitation and coyness!"

Yan Huang closed his eyes and said in a deep voice with great speed:

"When Mu Xianxian broke through, the Divine Mechanism Elder of the Divine Mechanism Pavilion intervened and blocked the sword spirit that was protecting the Yuqian Sect. He is now dead."

"According to news from the people of Dayu Continent, Mu Xianxian seems to have pinned this debt on our Shenhuang Yan Kingdom. According to reliable sources, she has already boarded a celestial ship and is on her way to Dongzhou. It won't be long before she comes to the dynasty with the corpse of the Heavenly Mystery Elder to demand an explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yan Kingdom's patriarch suddenly stood up, and a terrifying power spread out. Fortunately, the Yan Emperor also had cultivation, so he was not overwhelmed by this power.

"what?!"

"Old Man Shenji went to stop the Sword Spirit? Can he defeat the Sword Spirit? Among the three heroes of Yuqian Sect, even Tianyunzi can't compare to him in terms of offensive power. The Sword Spirit's Heaven-Shattering Sword Dao is something that even the guy from the Overlord Sect has to give way to. Are his puppets there to sharpen someone else's sword?"

At this point, the Yan Kingdom's patriarch suddenly patted his forehead.

"No, no! That's not the point. Is that old guy out of his mind? The Imperial Qian Sect has no past grudges or recent conflicts with him, why would he bother to stop the sword spirit?! Or..."

Yan Huang opened his eyes wide and suddenly replied:

"No! It wasn't my order. I've already uncovered some clues. This matter is related to the Asura Hall, but it seems our people are also involved..."

"Who?"

"It's still...still under investigation."

Upon hearing that they were still searching for a few words, the Yan Kingdom's patriarch nodded slightly, a strange meaning flashing in his eyes.

Yan Huang also kept his head down, not daring to look at the ancestor above him.

"Due to the previous spiritual energy tides, communication between the two continents was cut off. This news only recently arrived, so..."

The Ancestor Yanhuang stared at Yanhuang for a moment, then his eyes narrowed slightly:

"So, the main reason you're hosting such a lavish banquet for Lord Qin Yang isn't to let me see who he is, but rather to use Lord Qin Yang to extend goodwill to Mu Xianxian..."

"Our ancestors were wise."

"Hmph! My discerning eye is useless. A banquet and some meaningless flattery can hardly be called goodwill. Since you are unwilling to hand over the murderer, then you have to give them an explanation."

As he spoke, the patriarch of Yan Kingdom pondered for a moment.

"This Qin Yangjun is indeed a good entry point. I've long heard that Mu Xianxian cares most about her younger brother, and it's said that she has already designated him as the next successor of the Yuqian Sect. His words should carry some weight in Mu Xianxian's heart. You know what to do next!"

After speaking, the Yan Kingdom's patriarch turned around and transformed into a flame, disappearing from the main hall. Looking at the spot where the patriarch had vanished, the Yan Emperor sighed heavily.

"This has really given me some trouble..."

Helian Yazhi arranged for Qin Yangjun and Changsun Youyou to stay in a courtyard house. Originally, there were servants there, but they were all dismissed because neither Qin Yangjun nor Changsun Youyou were comfortable with it.

Just now, Changsun Youyou followed Helian Yazhi to the Danyao Hall of Shenhuang Yan Kingdom to retrieve herbs to treat the curse poison, so only Qin Yangjun remained in the huge courtyard.

Qin Yangjun originally planned to lie down and rest for a while, but someone refused to let him rest.

Qin Yangjun sat on the bed, propping his chin up with one hand, his eyes half-open as he gazed out the window:

"Since we're already here, why hide our heads and tails?"

As soon as Qin Yangjun finished speaking, a wisp of yellow aura suddenly appeared.

"Young Master Qin's spiritual perception is truly powerful. My escape technique is something that ordinary Void Realm cultivators wouldn't be able to detect so quickly."

The aura quickly coalesced into a figure, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than Helian Lanfeng...

Chapter Seven Night Visitors

"I wonder what business Your Highness Lanfeng has with me?"

Qin Yangjun remained seated on the bed, chin propped up, looking utterly exhausted. His earlier bowing to them outside was a gesture of respect, given that this was their territory.

But now that it's just the two of them, Qin Yangjun has no intention of coaxing the person in front of him.

Seeing Qin Yangjun's lazy appearance, a hint of displeasure flashed in Helian Lanfeng's eyes, but he quickly hid it and laughed.

"I apologize for my intrusion and for disturbing Young Master Qin's rest..."

"Just say what you have to say. We're all smart people, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Qin Yangjun interrupted Helian Lanfeng, causing Helian Lanfeng to grit his teeth slightly.

This person is far too arrogant. From birth until now, even the scions of powerful families have to give him some face. This is the first time someone has dared to interrupt him.

Qin Yangjun didn't even glance at him; he had no interest in beating around the bush with this person.

If he had known that the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom would pull such a stunt, he would never have agreed to let Helian Yazhi come to the imperial city. He didn't like the feeling of being exposed to the spotlight.

And those brotherly love and respect dramas are also extremely boring.

The world of cultivation is fundamentally different from the ordinary world; this world is ranked according to strength.

In terms of status, he is the young sect master of the Yuqian Sect, which is much higher than this so-called prince.

Moreover, this kid sneaked over late at night, he definitely wasn't up to anything good, so Qin Yangjun didn't intend to give him a friendly look.

On the other side, Helian Lanfeng quickly calmed himself down, after all, he had come here to ask Qin Yangjun for a favor.

“Young Master Qin is indeed very straightforward. Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. I have come here today because I have something to ask of you.”

After saying this, Helian Lanfeng sighed, a hint of melancholy on his face.

"Actually, it's like this. As Young Master Qin should know, the opening of the Deep Sea Dragon Tomb triggered a surge of spiritual energy, causing a large number of sea beasts to invade our borders. I was ordered to defend the borders, and the men of our dynasty did not disgrace our imperial name, fighting desperately to resist the sea beasts. Although the sea beasts have been repelled, many of our men have lost limbs or legs because of them..."

At this point, Helian Lanfeng's eyelids drooped even lower.

Qin Yangjun immediately guessed the young man's intentions, but this time he didn't interrupt him. Instead, he quietly watched him to see how the young man would "act".

"Originally, I wanted to ask my sister to help me find some puppet prosthetics, but Young Master Qin also noticed that my sister is very busy, and she also needs to cooperate with Young Master Qin in healing her injuries during this period."

"Those young men who fought for the peace and safety of the people of Yan should not end up with physical disabilities."

"I have long heard of Young Master Qin's benevolence and righteousness, and I presume he would also be unable to tolerate such a thing. Therefore, I would like to ask Young Master Qin to put in a good word for me with my sister and obtain a blueprint for casting a puppet prosthetic limb. If this is accomplished, I can promise Young Master Qin that I will do anything within my power to help you."

After listening, Qin Yangjun didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The blueprints... you just reached out and touched the core technology. Even Helian Yazhi could see through your selfish motives.

Helian Yazhi's prosthetic limbs are no ordinary prosthetic limbs; they are engraved with ancient inscriptions, and the power contained in these inscriptions can enhance the soldiers' combat effectiveness.

She also studied the battle formations of Mount Holy Spirit, which allowed the various inscriptions to resonate with each other, thereby enhancing the ability of group combat.

In other words, this prosthetic limb can greatly enhance the soldiers' combat effectiveness. The so-called replacement of defects is just a side effect. It is more like a magical artifact that can resonate with the masses. This also shows Helian Yazhi's extraordinary creativity.

No wonder she was able to create a formation like the Myriad Immortal Puppets Formation.

So this also reveals Helian Lanfeng's ambition. He said he was doing this for the sake of his men, sneaking over in the middle of the night, but actually he wanted to use him to obtain Helian Yazhi's core technology and then improve the combat power of his soldiers.

"Your Highness Lanfeng is joking. The blueprints are the culmination of your sister's hard work. Even you, as her blood relative, cannot obtain them, let alone an outsider like me."

Qin Yangjun wasn't actually interested in Helian Yazhi's prosthetic limb blueprints. Once one's cultivation reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, one's body could undergo a transformation, and even a severed arm could regenerate. Moreover, most importantly, exchanging limbs for power was truly not worthwhile.

"Young Master Qin, you are mistaken. You were able to resolve the cold poison that was tormenting my elder sister, which is to save her life. You should know that even the pharmacists in our Imperial Hospital are helpless against this cold poison. This is an immense favor."

“My elder sister always repays kindness. Although I don’t know what conditions you reached with her, those conditions should be far from enough to offset this favor. So if Young Master Qin wants the blueprints, my elder sister will definitely not refuse.”

Helian Lanfeng looked at Qin Yangjun very seriously.

He wasn't afraid that Qin Yangjun would covet the blueprints. Many of the technologies in the blueprints were created by his sister, and even if Yu Qianzong got the blueprints, he wouldn't be able to build that prosthetic limb.

"I am not interested."

Upon hearing this, Helian Lanfeng's face stiffened, but he quickly recovered.

"Young Master Qin, there's no need to give an answer so quickly. There's still plenty of time. I sincerely hope that Young Master Qin can give it a good consideration!"

Helian Lanfeng said he would consider these few who were biting very hard. Qin Yangjun smiled and slightly cupped his hands in greeting.

"No delivery."

The smile on Helian Lanfeng's face completely disappeared, and his eyes turned stern. In his opinion, the person in front of him was shameless. He had already lowered his posture enough, but he did not expect to be treated like this.

However, he did not react, but simply bowed slightly, then turned and disappeared into the room.

There isn't much of a story about Helian Lanfeng in the book; he's one of those characters who leaves the story quite early on, so Qin Yangjun doesn't know much about him.

However, Qin Yangjun could see through his hypocrisy from the conversation just now.

He spoke with an air of righteous indignation, but in reality he was thinking of himself. No wonder Helian Yun and Helian Yao disliked him, and Qin Yangjun didn't like him much either.

Hopefully, this kid will behave himself and not harbor any ill intentions for the next three months, otherwise he won't care what kind of prince he is...

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Changsun Youyou has not returned yet. According to a message from a palace maid, Changsun Youyou's curse poison flared up last night. After being suppressed by the physicians of the Imperial Hospital, she immediately began refining elixirs at the Imperial Hospital.

As for Helian Yazhi, she went to prepare something to remove the curse poison from the dragon's blood. She will come to inform me when it's ready.
