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

With a wave of his hand, Ying Changqing sent the invitation flying from Donghuang Taiyi's hand to his own.

The headquarters of the Yin-Yang School, Mount Li, and the Taoist School, Mount Taiyi, are very close to each other; it only takes seven or eight days to get there.

However, the other schools of thought were located far from Mount Taiyi.

In ancient times, due to the inconvenience of transportation, Taoists would send out invitations twice in advance.

Ying Changqing fully understood, because the Hundred Schools needed enough time to travel.

Donghuang Taiyi spoke again: "On this trip to the Daoist sect, you may go all out without any worries."

"I've spoken with Bei Mingzi, and he won't intervene. The rest of the Taoists are no match for you!"

After pondering for a moment, Ying Changqing said, "The one who just visited was Bei Mingzi of the Daoist Tianzong sect. No wonder His Majesty the Eastern Emperor personally welcomed him."

Although Donghuang Taiyi did not speak, his eyes revealed anticipation.

He longed for this divine rendezvous to begin soon.

Ying Changqing wanted to represent the Yin-Yang School and demonstrate its absolute authority to the other schools of thought.

This proves that the Yin-Yang School is not a branch of Taoism.

Donghuang Taiyi suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Bei Mingzi forbids me from getting involved."

"But every state in the world has its own lineage, and practitioners from other states will come to witness the covenant between heaven and man."

Ying Changqing was not surprised at all.

The Taoism of the Qin Dynasty was founded by Laozi himself, and it also produced a sage like Zhuangzi.

Other Taoist sects in Kyushu were founded under the influence of Lao Tzu's philosophy.

Therefore, it is normal for the Qin Dynasty Taoist community, which is the sacred site of Taoist schools in the nine provinces, to send people to observe the covenant between heaven and man.

Even major sects like Wudang and Quanzhen cannot compare to the Taoism of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Changqing didn't understand why Donghuang Taiyi emphasized this point in particular.

Seeing Ying Changqing's doubts, Donghuang Taiyi said directly: "Wudang, Quanzhen and other Taoist sects all focus on cultivating their minds and character and will not take the initiative to fight with others."

"So you don't need to care about these people at all."

"But the ancestor of the Zhao royal family, who is the founder of the Daoist lineage of Longhu Mountain in Liyang, is coming to witness the covenant between heaven and man. We must be wary of him."

Ying Changqing's expression immediately turned cold, and he understood Donghuang Taiyi's intention.

He had never heard of Liyang sending people to witness the covenant between heaven and man before.

The territories of Beiliang and Daqin are adjacent, and Ying Changqing's territory, Yaoguang, is located within it.

The two countries frequently clash over territorial issues.

Li Yang was wary of the rebellion of Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, and dared not wage a full-scale war against the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty actively prepared for war, aiming to unify the seven kingdoms, and both sides exercised restraint.

However, relations between the two countries were extremely poor, and both wanted to completely eliminate the other.

Longhu Mountain belongs to the Taoist lineage.

The orthodox tradition is in Liyang, so it is impossible to send anyone to the enemy state of Qin.

The key issue is that the person who came was the ancestor of the Liyang royal family.

According to the usual practice in the martial arts world, the dynasty does not interfere with the martial arts forces.

The fact that the Liyang royal family sent people to observe the Taoist covenant between Heaven and Man had no direct connection with Ying Changqing or the Qin Dynasty.

But things aren't that simple.

First of all, Xiaomeng, the future leader of the Taoist Heavenly Sect, has a very good relationship with the Qin Dynasty.

When her family was wiped out, it was a general from the Qin Dynasty who saved her.

If Xiaomeng becomes the leader of the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect will work for the Qin Dynasty.

Even without Xiaomeng's connection, the fact that the Liyang royal patriarch dared to enter the territory of the Great Qin Empire was an open provocation.

In any case, Ying Changqing certainly believed that the royal ancestor was not just there to observe the ceremony.

If the Qin Dynasty wants to conquer the world, Liyang will never just seek peace and stability.

"Who exactly is this person?"

"The Taoist Longhu Mountain, the Liyang Patriarch Zhao Huangchao!"

A murderous glint immediately appeared in Ying Changqing's eyes.

"Zhao Huangchao, the Old Ancestor of Liyang?"

Ying Changqing recalled the differences in this world.

This is a world of martial arts, and Princess Wu Su of Beiliang was not killed by anyone from Liyang.

Because Li Yang didn't want to be exposed, otherwise he would completely break ties with Bei Liang.

Therefore, Wu Su was killed by the Shadow Assassins of Xuanwu Kingdom.

This allowed Zhao Huangchao to escape serious injury from Wang Xianzhi and leave Longhu Mountain.

Donghuang Taiyi didn't understand what Ying Changqing was thinking; he only saw the killing intent in Ying Changqing's eyes and was confused.

Zhao Huangchao's current strength is at the level of a terrestrial immortal; he is already a top-tier expert.

"Your Highness, you know Zhao Huangchao, and you also know his strength."

"But your current strength is only at the peak of Grandmaster, not even Grandmaster."

"So we still need to be mindful of the situation when the time comes."

Ying Changqing ignored Donghuang Taiyi's thoughts and turned around to say, "Your Excellency Donghuang, now that I've received the invitation, I'll be leaving."

Because he needs to finish reading all the remaining books in the library over the next two months.

We returned to the library.

Seeing Ying Changqing's troubled expression, Jingni asked directly, "Young Master, is something troubling you?"

Ying Changqing shook his head and remained silent.

He picked up the book and began to read intently.

Because of the time constraints, Ying Changqing flipped through the book much faster than before.

Jingni stopped asking questions and reached out her fingers to massage Ying Changqing's temples.

The days passed peacefully.

During this time, Ying Changqing spent his days reading in the library and his evenings teaching Jingni, and time passed quickly.

Ying Changqing now understands her body better than Jing Ni does.

A gentle touch of the fingers across her skin would make Jingni weak all over and release an alluring fragrance.

It wasn't until a cool breeze blew in through the window that Ying Changqing realized how quickly time had passed and that autumn had arrived.

I wonder if Black and White are doing well in Northern Liang, and whether they are adapting to the local climate.

The mountain wind brought a chill, and Ying Changqing missed the sisters, Black and White.

They were supposed to escort Mei San Niang to Yao Guang and then return, but Ying Changqing needed Nangong Pu She.

Nangong Pushe possesses the bloodline of a dragon, which can enhance his True Dragon Treasure Technique.

The Divine Image Suppressing Prison Force, which he comprehended through the system, is the foundation of Ying Changqing's power. The Soul Dragon Soaring and the True Dragon Treasure Technique are his most lethal trump cards, which no one can replace.

The five-clawed golden dragon summoned by the True Dragon Treasure Technique can both attack and defend, and can also detect the surrounding movements at any time to prevent sneak attacks.

It can even suppress opponents regardless of their level.

With this ability, no one in the same realm can defeat Ying Changqing.

Even if the opponent is of a higher level, he can protect himself and even turn defeat into victory.

If the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon could be further refined, Ying Changqing's strength would increase by several levels.

The world situation is complex, and Xu Fengnian will not encounter Nangong Pushe again, nor will he bring her back to Tingchao Pavilion.

The sisters Ehuang and Nüying did not break through to the seventh level of the "Supreme Goodness is Like Water" and "White Dew Deceives Frost" techniques, and they remained in seclusion.

However, Yanfei has already emerged from seclusion and broken through to the fifth level of Yin-Yang Arts, the Soul Transformation Realm, reaching the strength of a terrestrial immortal.

However, she only met Ying Changqing once and went back to consolidate her cultivation without saying a word.

Yanfei believes that the trip to Taiyi Mountain is very important.

Ying Changqing spent the last two months reading through all the books in the library.

Another big thing happened in the last two months: Jingni is pregnant!

In Ying Changqing's room, Jingni stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes revealing maternal love, and her temperament softened.

Ying Changqing thought to himself, "I fed Yu'er every day, and finally she got pregnant."

Jingni looked up at Ying Changqing tenderly: "Young Master, what should we name our child?"

"Winning words."

Ying Changqing answered immediately.

Jingni was very satisfied with the name, and her eyes softened even more.

She leaned her head against Ying Changqing, listening to his heartbeat and silently praying.

"Yingyan, is this my child?"

"I hope he won't end up like me, a killer caught in a bind..."
