The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

Chapter 208 The Red King Also Wants to Go to Heaven

Although Lei Wujie was utterly stupid, he possessed an astonishing intuition about certain things.

Perhaps it's because there are so few distracting thoughts in my mind that my intuition is so incredibly accurate.

Without any evidence, Zhou Zhenhuan naturally wouldn't bother explaining anything to them.

Luo Qingyang abducted Consort Xuan, but the palace was eerily quiet, as if nothing had happened.

As for the Crimson King Xiao Yu, after learning that his mother had been kidnapped by Luo Qingyang, he reportedly threw a huge tantrum in the palace.

Because of his mother, he was never favored by the emperor from childhood.

Now she has done something so shameless again, but he also knows very well that with his mother's power, she can't kill Luo Qingyang at all.

Since the emperor had already become a cuckold and was simply pretending that nothing had happened, Xiao Yu naturally didn't want to interfere and bring up the truth.

But Xiao Yu understood one thing: he had no way out.

Luo Qingyang's move completely cornered him.

If he fails to ascend the throne in the struggle for power, his only fate will be death.

After all, during this period, they have done countless heinous things using Bai Yujing.

If they fail, the emperor will certainly not let them off easily.

But at this very moment, on the first day of the first lunar month, he left Tianqi City with the people of the First Lunar Month Tower, leaving the power around the Crimson King suddenly empty.

It wasn't that Bai Yujing hadn't considered things carefully; it was simply because the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, Li Taibai, had stayed at the Crimson King's Mansion.

In the eyes of the people on the first day of the first lunar month, with an immortal in charge, and this immortal's strength being no less than that of the carefree immortal, there would naturally be no problem in protecting the prince's safety.

Although Crimson King Xiao Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, he dared not show it in front of this immortal.

Instead, they have to go to great lengths to curry favor with this person.

After all, this is a celestial being descended from heaven.

"Immortal Master, what is it like in heaven?"

Do you think I, the King, am also qualified to ascend to heaven?

Li Taibai took a sip of Qiulu Bai tea, and upon hearing this, glanced at him, making Xiao Yu feel a chill run down his spine.

Then Li Bai laughed, but his laugh was quite strange.

"Are you sure you want to go to heaven?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Taibai's smile was mocking him for overestimating his abilities.

Just as he was about to say something, Li Taibai continued, "It's not impossible, one more or one less doesn't matter."

Moreover, my Heavenly Jade Capital is also short of people.

But to ascend to heaven, one must abandon worldly riches and start from the lowest ranks of menial servants. Can you bear to give that up?

Xiao Yu was overjoyed to hear such a reversal. Hearing the accent of this person, he realized that he too could fly to the heavens.

"Immortal, is it truly possible to attain immortality in Heaven?"

"That's natural. Immortality is just a minor skill. There are people in this human world who have achieved immortality. This is the most basic characteristic of immortals."

If you can't even live forever, what kind of immortal are you?

The air in the heavens is filled with celestial energy. Even an ordinary person like you can live for thousands of years. What difficulty is there in achieving immortality?

If these disciples below weren't so useless, would I, the immortal, have needed to come down here personally?

You should know that the air in your mortal realm is not as sweet as the air above. Staying here for too long will even affect your cultivation.

The carefree joy of immortals is beyond your imagination, and only you mortals would fight endlessly for the throne of the human world.

How ridiculous!

"Yes, yes, you are right, Immortal Master. In your eyes, these things are naturally not worth mentioning."

The Red King gave a perfunctory reply, but his mind was racing with calculations.

If one could truly ascend to heaven and achieve immortality, what would be the point of being an emperor?

No matter what, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. If one becomes an immortal, wouldn't that be more prestigious than an emperor?

Putting aside everything else, just take that carefree immortal who he dislikes. He's just a mere terrestrial deity, how is he any different from the carefree immortals in the mortal world?

Even that immortal old emperor had to give him some leeway.

This is power!

Once you become an immortal, what use is a damned imperial throne? Even the supreme ruler of the mortal realm has to kneel and kowtow to you.

But now, for the sake of that throne, both the White King and the Yong'an King are his strong rivals, and neither of them is weak.

Now that there are better options, it's better not to fight for the throne.

Xiao Yu imagined that no matter which of the two became emperor, when he descended to the mortal realm, they would both have to kneel and kowtow to him, and he almost burst out laughing.

This is the ultimate bliss!

If you insist on fighting, then fight.

"Immortal Master! I beg you to grant me your guidance. I, no, I also wish to ascend to heaven."

Li Taibai's smile became even more peculiar, and he gently patted his shoulder: "You have good aptitude. Don't worry, I will definitely take you to the heavens!"

Upon receiving the immortal's affirmative reply, Xiao Yu was overjoyed and naturally expressed his deepest gratitude.

What is vision? What is perspective?

Now it opens up all at once, doesn't it?

Looking back, what I did in the past seems utterly ridiculous.

I was so cautious and timid, scheming and plotting, doing so many things, but now all I need to do is build a good relationship with this immortal, and I have everything I need.

That damned Xiao Chuhe, he's clever enough to have latched onto Xiaoyao Xian's coattails so early on.

But now, they are standing on the same starting line again.

Xiao Yu was somewhat smug. The person behind him was a celestial being from heaven, someone Zhou Zhenhuan couldn't compare to.

Xiao Yu instantly felt excited about his future life.

As night fell, a secluded manor outside Tianqi City was brightly lit.

A group of people gathered here, and a huge table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

I sat in the main seat on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I seemed especially happy today.

"Dear fellow members, the New Year is just around the corner. This year is absolutely crucial for Baiyujing."

Many things happened this year. Many of our brothers and sisters died at the hands of the enemy for the sake of the great cause.

But today I can say that they died a worthy death.

The other building owners were slightly moved by his words and raised their glasses with him.

"Master of the First Month, has there been any major progress in matters?"

You invited us all here; what if others find out...?

"April, you're being too cautious. The entire Tianqi City is now under our control."

You are not in Apocalypse and are unaware of the current situation. Let me explain in detail.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he recited the prepared speech one by one. After listening, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and became excited at the same time.

"Master of the First Month, are you saying that an immortal descended from above and even defeated the number one in the world?"

"Ha, what does being the best in the world mean? With our immortal ancestor here, what virtue or ability does Zhou Zhenhuan have to dare to call himself the best in the world?"

"Absolutely! So, Lord Zhengyue, did the Ancestor say he would take us to heaven?"

"That's right, but the Ancestor is in a hurry, so he gathered everyone here for the Ascension Tokens in your hands."

The ancestor needs to summon several other ancestors to descend and, with lightning speed, complete the great undertaking and control the world.

Not only the North, but also the South must be claimed.

Chapter 209 Take Them All to Heaven

The first day of the Lunar New Year is half true and half false.

But everyone present believed it.

After all, they saw hope, they saw the dawn.

Why have they been hiding in the shadows for so many years?

All for the sake of one day restoring its former glory.

Now, the ancestors in heaven have finally remembered them.

They even wanted to take them to heaven.

As a result, everyone was in high spirits, clinking glasses and drinking, and ended up getting quite drunk.

But no one noticed that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, their gazes grew colder and colder, as if they were looking at dead people.

After all, the immortal said that there are only a limited number of people who can be taken to heaven.

However, obtaining the Ascension Token was not difficult.

It's clear that these people also yearn for it.

"I'm so sorry everyone, but the spots available from Heaven are reserved for our Zhengyuelou restaurant."

"When I become an immortal, I'll burn paper money for you!"

They had almost finished drinking, and these drinks already contained spikes.

Seeing everyone collapsed under the table, I became even more alert on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Finally, she smashed the wine glass in her hand!

The brothers from the Zhengyue Tower, who had been lying in ambush, surged in instantly. The axemen sheathed their knives and brought them down, and the lively banquet was instantly stained crimson.

These people didn't even manage to resist.

"Master! Not a single person who came to the banquet today is missing."

"Okay, watch out for finishing blows, don't let a single one escape."

Set this place on fire and burn it down.

"Yes, Master! This mission was completed more easily than expected, all thanks to your wise leadership."

OP, look at this, it's all about fate...

"Don't worry, you are all my trusted confidants, so naturally you will all follow me to heaven."

After all, no matter where you are, you need to have your own strength.

I hope you will not let me down in the future.

"We swear to serve our lord to the death!"

"Very good! Deal with the tail, then retreat!"

Before long, flames shot into the sky, and several figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Inside the Red King's mansion, Li Taibai suddenly opened his eyes, walked to an open space, looked in the direction of the fire, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It seems that the presence of bad people within makes it easier to destroy a force. No matter how strong a fortress is, it is always easy to breach it from the inside."

This woman is ruthless.

"The more this is the case, the more I want to take you to heaven! I hope you can give me a surprise."

After pondering for a long time, Li Bai finally returned to his room and instructed his guards to discuss the matter during the day and not to disturb him.

Li Taibai sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Zhou Huanzhen's figure reappeared in the Illusionary Realm.

This time, the illusion was no longer monotonous; instead, it featured several guys who looked exactly like Zhou Zhen.
