The Qin Dynasty: The Most Ruthless Prince, Lady Mingzhu Begs for Mercy

Ying Changqing didn't explain what kind of opportunity it was, but Yan Fei and Jing Ni's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

They had long known that Mount Taiyi was famous, but because it was a Taoist holy site, they had never had the chance to see its full view.

Now, Ying Changqing says it's a major opportunity, and it must be the Taoist scriptures left by the sage Laozi.

Jingni and Yanfei both practice martial arts, so they were naturally excited about this opportunity.

Even Jing Ni, who is disguised, has not refused.

Her gaze towards Ying Changqing softened, filled with emotion.

The three of them were stunned by the sight before them as soon as they stepped outside.

The summit of Mount Taiyi is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

But these clouds and fog won't obstruct your view.

When the clouds and mist move, the Tai Chi pattern can be clearly seen appearing within them.

It's not just Ying Changqing.

All the people who were watching the ceremony on Mount Taiyi came out of their rooms and stared at the changing clouds and mist at the summit. They immediately understood what had happened and excitedly rushed to the top.

Xiaomeng waited outside the courtyard.

She saw Ying Changqing and immediately went to greet him.

"Let's go, Your Highness."

"What you're about to see will shock you."

Ying Changqing was full of anticipation.

"That must be true, after all, it's the Daoist canon left behind by the Supreme Sage!"

He answered with a smile, and then followed Xiaomeng toward the top of Mount Taiyi.

Jing Ni and Yan Fei followed behind Ying Changqing.

As expected, Xiaomeng had already received Beimingzi's orders.

She glared angrily at Ying Changqing, then stopped talking, pretending not to see him, and continued leading the way.

While climbing the mountain, Ying Changqing encountered many martial arts figures from various places.

They were also drawn to the strange sights in the mountains and, like Ying Changqing, hurriedly made their way to the summit.

These people may have guessed the secret of Mount Taiyi.

But unlike Ying Changqing, they were blocked halfway up the mountain by an invisible barrier and could not move forward.

"These outsiders can only go this far; they can't go any further."

"This is also because the teacher is kind-hearted, and he made a special exception because the covenant between heaven and man is approaching."

Xiaomeng's voice was cold as she looked at the dejected people who were blocked halfway and told Ying Changqing directly.

"That's inevitable."

"They are not Taoist disciples, and Senior Beimingzi would never allow them to approach the Taoist scriptures at the mountaintop."

Ying Changqing felt no sympathy.

No sect in the world would give away its opportunities to outsiders for free.

It was already an extraordinary act of kindness from the Taoists to allow them to reach the halfway point of the mountain.

Song Qingshu stared at the invisible barrier before him, gritting his teeth in anger: "Damn it, this is a barrier!"

"The Daoist Ancestor's Daoist scriptures are clearly on the mountaintop, yet we can't get there!"

Zhou Zhiruo, Ding Minjun, and other Emei disciples also looked disappointed.

Even Song Yuanqiao and Abbess Miejue sighed helplessly.

They all knew that the mountaintop held the Daoist scriptures and teachings they had always sought.

It's a real shame that I can't get close due to my identity restrictions.

"Taoists are too petty."

"Everyone traveled this far to Mount Taiyi, only to be allowed to climb halfway up?"

At this moment, some people began to whisper among themselves.

Although the sound was soft, both Ying Changqing and Xiaomeng heard it.

They looked over and saw a boy in tattered clothes and an old servant.

Following behind was Nangong Pu She, dressed in white, which seemed quite out of place.

As Xu Fengnian complained, Old Huang glanced at Xiaomeng and quickly whispered, "Young Master, be careful what you say."

"Don't worry, Lao Huang, I've checked the surrounding area."

Xu Fengnian said, "Only one child is from the Great Qin Daoist school. How profound could his cultivation be at such a young age? He certainly can't understand..."

"Bang!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiaomeng had already formed a hand seal and activated the Daoist magic "Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Water".

A water sphere condensed and struck Xu Fengnian directly.

"The Taoist scriptures on the mountaintop are the foundation left behind by the Taoist sages. I've already been very generous by leading you halfway up the mountain. Aren't you satisfied?"

Xiaomeng didn't kill him; she only punished him.

Therefore, Lao Huang, who was standing nearby, did not intervene.

Xu Fengnian was spoiled by Xu Xiao from a young age, and almost no one in the entire Northern Liang dared to disobey him, which made him arrogant and rude.

Therefore, Lao Huang believed that letting the crown prince suffer a bit would teach him a lesson.

Moreover, this was also the purpose of Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, sending Xu Fengnian on a three-year journey.

Xu Fengnian, who had been knocked away by Xiaomeng, sat on the ground in a sorry state, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

But he was shocked; he hadn't expected Xiaomeng to be able to hear the whispers from such a distance.

If it were the year Xu Fengnian first began his travels, he would have been enraged by such an insult and would have threatened to send troops to raze the Taoist temple to the ground.

But the situation is different now. This is not Beiliang, and he understands the importance of being pragmatic.

Xu Fengnian smiled helplessly and bowed to Xiaomeng in apology.

"I misspoke, please forgive me, Taoist Master."

"If there is another instance of discussing Taoism, this will not be handled so easily!"

Xiaomeng snorted coldly and stopped looking at Xu Fengnian.

At this moment, Ying Changqing looked at Nangong Pushe and waved with a smile.

"Miss Nangong, we have a deep connection. Shall we go up to the mountaintop together to see the Dao Ancestor's authentic relics?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and all eyes turned to Nangong Pushe, filled with envy and jealousy.

They could only stop halfway up the mountain and had no chance to go to the top to see the precious Taoist scriptures left by the Taoist patriarch.

Ying Changqing was a prince of the Qin Empire, completely different from them.

With Xiaomeng leading the way, Ying Changqing was certainly qualified to go up to the mountaintop.

Although they envied Ying Changqing, they also understood that this was the right thing to do.

This place is the territory of the Qin Empire, and the Taoists must give Qin face.

Ying Changqing wanted to take another boy who was trapped halfway up the mountain with him.

This made everyone envious, and they regretted not having met Ying Changqing sooner.

That way, Ying Changqing could also take them up the mountain.

Nangong Pushe was pleasantly surprised to hear Ying Changqing's question.

That is the Daoist canon left behind by a sage, which all martial artists desire.

But she quickly hesitated.

He hadn't yet decided whether to agree to the conditions Ying Changqing had proposed.

If I agree to go up the mountain with you now, I'll definitely owe you a huge favor, and it will be even harder to refuse later.

However, Nangong Pushe made his decision in a moment.

Thinking of her mother's blood feud, she took a deep breath and said decisively, "In that case, Nangong thanks Your Highness."

After Nangong Pushe finished speaking, he stepped out from the crowd and stood next to Ying Changqing.

Among the onlookers, the sisters Yaoyue and Lianxing exchanged a glance.

With their cultivation level, they had long seen through Nangong Pushe's disguise as a man.

Yaoyue stared at the women around Ying Changqing, her gaze growing colder, but her desire for Ying Changqing remained undiminished.

Lianxing sighed inwardly.

"This prince is quite the ladies' man; he's surrounded by beautiful women."

"And they are all as beautiful as me and my sister."

But then I thought about it again and understood.

After all, Ying Changqing was so handsome that she and her sister were captivated at first sight and could never forget him.

It's perfectly normal for other women to like Ying Changqing.

Lianxing even felt that if her sister hadn't frightened her a little, she wouldn't have minded that Ying Changqing had other women and would have already taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

Just as Lianxing was lost in thought.

Suddenly, Yaoyue grabbed her hand and pulled her toward Ying Changqing.
