Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

In the royal study of the Yan Kingdom's palace.

"Father!"

Jiang Zhi knelt on the ground, her voice filled with emotion and trembling with tears.

The King of Yan rose from behind his desk, came to Jiang Zhi, helped her up, and said softly, "Zhi'er, it's good that you're alright."

Jiang Zhi shook her head and gently bit her lip: "It was your daughter who misunderstood Father."

The King of Yan laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "If I can't even fool my own son and daughter, how can I possibly fool the King of Qi?"

"Although that old man is arrogant, he is no easy person to lead the Qi state to conquer cities and territories and take over such a large area of ​​land."

"But he was ultimately deceived by me, and I am delighted!"

Both the eldest prince and Jiang Zhi smiled.

The King of Yan then looked at Qin Zijun, who was standing to the side, and said, "Master Mingxiang."

Qin Zijun shook her head: "Your Majesty, I have returned to secular life and am no longer the Mingxiang of Kongxiang Temple, but Qin Zijun."

"Very well, then, Young Master Qin, I have a favor to ask."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

Qin Zijun bowed, but she had already guessed what the king was asking for.

"Young Master Qin had a bright future ahead of him, but his cultivation has been hindered because of my daughter. As her father, I feel ashamed."

"Your Majesty need not say more. This matter is my own fault and has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang and I are in love. If I do not betray her, I can only betray Buddha."

Jiang Zhi lowered her head shyly, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

The King of Yan looked at the young man and saw that he was handsome and elegant with a gentle temperament. He was a rare nobleman and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

His expression turned solemn, and he bowed to Qin Zijun, saying, "Young Master Qin, I know that you and Zhi'er are in love, and I will not stop you."

"I have only one request: that Prince Qin take Zhi'er and leave Yan, and go far away."

"With Young Master Qin's strength at the Outer Realm, he will definitely be able to protect Zhi'er."

"Go find a place where no one knows you, and live out the rest of your lives there."

Qin Zijun had long anticipated the Yan king's plan.

He glanced at Jiang Zhi, and seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, he said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to grant this request."

Why?

"If the king is truly a foolish ruler who doesn't even care about his daughter, then Miss Jiang will be disappointed in the king and leave with me."

Qin Zijun slowly said, "...But the king is not that kind of person; on the contrary, he is devoted to the country."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is a kind and benevolent man, and he treats Miss Jiang, his younger sister, very well. Given Miss Jiang's character, how could she possibly abandon you and leave?"

Jiang Zhi gazed at him with tender affection.

Her little monk was always the one who understood her best.

The King of Yan opened his mouth and gave a bitter smile: "It is I who have harmed Zhi'er."

Qin Zijun then added, "Besides, I won't choose to leave."

"Kongxiang Temple and the Yan royal family share the same fate, and if one falls, the other falls. If the Qi Kingdom attacks and the capital falls, the hundreds of monks of Kongxiang Temple will surely be slaughtered, and the lineage will be cut off."

"I was a child who died young, but was saved by my master and grew up in Kongxiang Temple. My fellow disciples in Kongxiang Temple are like family to me."

"My master has treated me very well. Even when I wanted to leave the monastic life, he did not stop me. If I were to abandon him for personal reasons and to save my own life, I would be an unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust person."

"I imagine the king wouldn't want to marry his daughter to such a man."

The King of Yan said helplessly, "The Prince of Qin has persuaded me."

He suddenly laughed loudly: "Fine, since Young Master Qin and Zhi'er are not afraid of death, then what do I have to fear!"

"If the State of Qi comes, we will make sure they never return!"

……

The entire Yan state was mobilized.

The words spoken by the King of Yan were merely a way to encourage himself.

Given the absolute disparity in strength, the State of Yan could not possibly defeat the State of Qi, and its destruction seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

For many years, the king has been secretly mobilizing the people.

When the order was issued, countless people of Yan were filled with hatred for the enemy and vowed to live and die with Yan.

The entire Yan Kingdom was shrouded in a mood of despair and anger, reminiscent of the tragic lament of "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return."

From that day on, Qin Zijun lived in the Yan Kingdom's palace, which was very close to Jiang Zhi's palace.

They saw each other every day, whispering sweet nothings to each other, and their feelings for each other deepened.

Qin Zijun did not have anything happen between her and Miss Jiang.

He didn't want the final outcome to be a double suicide; he wanted to live, and he also wanted Miss Jiang to live.

Qin Zijun wants to use this last month or so to break through his cultivation realm and become a True Lord of the Cave Profound Realm!

This was the only way he could think of to turn the tide and win.

however,

Qin Zijun had never cultivated to the Dongxuan realm in his previous dozens of lifetimes, and he was unaware of this incredible state.

Like most cultivators, he was stuck at the final juncture, unable to make any further progress.

"If I were given another ten years or so, I might be able to break through this barrier and reach the Cave Profound Realm."

But time waits for no one; I don't have ten years left.

Qin Zijun felt a sense of urgency.

"Little monk, don't be anxious. Although I don't understand cultivation, I know how difficult it is to reach the Dongxuan realm."

"You're already amazing. You've mastered outdoor photography at such a young age. In my heart, you're the most outstanding person."

Jiang Zhi stayed by Qin Zijun's side and gently held his hand.

Of course, she hoped the young monk could cultivate to the level of Dongxuan, and she wanted him to live.

but,

The matter of cultivation is beyond human control, and even if she ultimately fails, she will have no regrets.

Having found a good partner and enjoyed eight happy years in her life, Miss Jiang is already content.

If I can finally be with him legitimately and receive everyone's blessings, why should I be greedy for more?

Qin Zijun gripped the girl's hand tightly and said earnestly, "I will definitely let you live!"

At this time,

A palace maid reported from outside: "Master Liaochen of Kongxiang Temple has arrived at the palace and wishes to see Young Master Qin."

"master?"

Qin Zijun was taken aback and stood up to greet him.

An old monk walked in from outside the courtyard.

However, Qin Zijun was extremely shocked when she met Master Chen.

In just half a month, my master was exuding an aura of death, the kind of smell only a dying person would have!

However, the master is at the Outer Realm, and although his lifespan is already short, that is in the eyes of mortals.

Master has at least another one or two hundred years to live!

"Master, what's wrong?"

Master Liaochen's eyes were cloudy, but his expression was gentle. He looked at Qin Zijun and then at Jiang Zhi, revealing a gratified smile.

He extended his hand, which was covered with age spots, and handed over a box: "This is the Void-Breaking Pill that your master refined."

"Mingxiang, take it. It can't guarantee you'll break through to the Cave Profound Realm, but it gives you a chance."

"I feel ashamed that I cannot protect my disciple, so I can only do this small thing for you."

Qin Zijun's body trembled.

The master was willing to trade his life for his!
