Princess Hundred Flowers made a successful breakthrough.
The nine celestial wheels, totalling eighty-one zhang, were vast and shocking.
It reflected the spring of the Ten Thousand Flowers, the rotation of the sun and moon, and the geography of the mountains and rivers, blossoming into a lofty momentum that pressed down on thousands of miles and caused all living beings to sink and float.
“Is this the Ninth Heavenly Man? Intercepting the great momentum of the heavens and earth for one’s own use, even in a depleted heaven and earth, one can still strike with astounding might.”Qin Li was secretly astonished, the secret of the Celestial Man Realm was the use of heavenly might. And the Celestial Nine Heavens were able to store Heavenly Might in the Celestial Wheel and use it in any territory, including the Void.
Old Devil Solitary cautioned, ”The Ninth Level of Celestial Man is a very important level, and you must choose who to borrow the power from. Like me, for example, I once borrowed my hometown, but to no avail, my hometown was destroyed, and the great power I borrowed faded away.”
Qin Li nodded.
Zhao Tianyu said, “Let’s go congratulate Sister Hundred Flowers!”
The crowd nodded their heads and brought along some spirit fruits and sweets, heading to the City Lord’s Mansion to congratulate Princess Hundred Blossoms on her breakthrough.
Princess Hundred Flowers had just made a breakthrough and her realm was unstable, spending an hour before she completely stabilised her realm and came out to meet people. She was still as graceful and luxurious, only her breath was even deeper, with a mountain range-like thickness: “Thank you all, for specially running over to see me!”
“Congratulations to Sister Hundred Flowers on her promotion to Celestial Perfection!”Zhao Tianyu presented a gift.
Princess Hundred Flowers smiled, “Thanks to your exotic herbs, or else I would have needed at least another ten years before I could advance to the ninth level.”
“Congratulations, Sister Wang.”Luo Zisong smiled respectfully and handed out a Xirui flower.
Princess Hundred Flowers’ eyebrows jumped and she shook her head helplessly, “Heaven’s will is such that I will keep my promise and recommend you to return to Yanjing to participate in the Qunyin Conference. I hope you are mentally prepared, the Yanjing Magnates will not let you go.”
“Knowing that there is a tiger on the mountain, I will go to the tiger mountain.”Luo Zisong’s gaze was resolute.
Qin Li also arched his hand in congratulations.
Then.
Princess Hundred Flowers suddenly asked:
“I have a strange question that I want to ask you carefully!”
“The Old Capital Mystic Realm changed, the Great Wei King’s Palace was cloudy, you and the two county lords, as well as Zhou Bin and the others entered, and as a result, only the weakest of you came out, while all of them were buried in the Mystic Realm, it feels a bit fishy.”
Zhao Tian Yu’s heart flinched as a fine fragrant sweat oozed out from his back.
Qin Li was on cloud nine as he explained, “It’s because we were the weakest, so we knew what to do. They were bursting with confidence, thinking that the treasures of the Great Wei were within their reach, but they didn’t realise that the Lord of the Great Wei was not a good person, and set up a formation to die together.”
Princess Hundred Flowers’ brows knit tightly, Qin Li and the others’ cultivation was not strong, obviously unable to decapitate Zhou Bin and the others, it seemed that they had not lied, this was indeed the Great Wei State Lord’s calculation, killing and maiming Zhou Bin and the others.
“This matter is rather tricky, although you guys are innocent, but the Great Wei Kingdom Lord will not let it go, and on the side of the Wanxiang Elder, it’s a bit of a problem, I’m afraid I’ll have to take the anger out on you, but I’ll see to it that I get through to the relations.”
“Thank you sister Hundred Flowers.”Zhao Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, holding Princess Hundred Flowers’ arm, intimately said, “By the way, we decided to go to Yanjing to meet the market, and we will leave tomorrow.”
Princess Hundred Flowers froze, “See, I should also return to Yanjing, hand over to Elder Fire Dragon, and instantly see my father.”
Luo Zi Song laughed, “Coincidence, so we’re all travelling the same way.”
The next day!
A few people left in the clouds.
However the furore in the lofty city had yet to die down.
After all, the death of a County Lord had plunged the entire city into a chaos, with many small forces taking the opportunity to rise, and the Jiang Family, as a Celestial Family, reaping the rewards of the command.
Just ten days after Qin Li and the others had left, two uninvited guests came to the lofty city, clad in thick black robes, completely unable to see their faces, but on their fingers, they wore bronze rings, transmitting a vicissitudinous and ancient flavour.
“Finally, we have arrived, but it seems that we are one step too late!”The tall and thin black-robed man appeared to be in a hurry.
“Let’s quickly enter the Old Capital Secret Realm and see how the Great Wei State Lord is doing?”The short and fat black-robed man was quick on his feet.
These two black-robed men were very mysterious and seemed to possess special secret techniques that allowed them to pass through the back door and enter the old capital of Great Wei even though the secret realm was closed.
They arrived at the ruins of the royal palace and saw a field of ruins, “The formation has been forcibly torn apart, the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth have been destroyed, and the Great Wei Lord is dead!”
The tall, thin, black-robed man was enraged, “Damn it, who the hell is it that has disrupted our three thousand years of calculations. Taking the trouble to mimic the construction of the Shade Ridge and create a pseudo Shade Ridge, just to give birth to a great evil and seal the chance of immortality!”
The short and fat black-robed man squatted down, carefully inspecting the traces on the ground, and found quite a few Yin Qi crystals, transmitting a deadly power: “This is a hellish aura, it seems that the murderer is either a Demon Race or a Hell Demon Sect, and it looks as though it looks as though he has taken away the body of the Great Wei State Lord.”
The two exchanged their opinions, and they left on their own to spy on the news.
There were quite a number of cultivators who had come out of the Old Capital Secret Realm alive, and many people knew that a strange change had occurred in the Great Wei Royal Palace, and that only a few people had come out alive, and the more the matter spread, the more evil it became, and in the end, some people speculated that Qin Li had obtained the Great Wei Treasure.
The tall and thin black-robed man muttered, “At the last minute, only three people made it out of the royal palace, and they all went to Yanjing.”
The short and fat black-robed man snorted coldly, “There is definitely something wrong with this Qin Li, let’s also make a trip to Yanjing, and at one point, we will recover the corpse body of the Great Wei Lord.”
With that, the two black-robed men set off.
……
Swoosh!
The recluse light cut through the sky.
A Hundred Flower Fragrant Vehicle sank into the colourful haze at a strangely fast speed.
In front of it was a green luan pulling the carriage, its two wings spreading and the astral wind blowing.
Inside the carriage, there was a lot of space, almost a fragrant boudoir, which involved spatial changes, which showed the preciousness of this Hundred Flowers Cloud Carriage.
Princess Hundred Flowers sat on the master bedroom, chatting with Zhao Tianyu. Qin Li, Luo Zi Song, the grey-clothed old servant, and Old Devil Dugu were all sitting on the side, with the old devil specially draped in a black robe so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The maid Dou Dou came in, “Princess, we are close to the Jade Valley Plains, it won’t be long before we reach Yanjing, it’s just that the Green Luan Bird has flown for two days, it’s really tired and needs to rest for the night.”
“Alright, it’s getting late, we’ll rest here for the night.”Princess Hundred Flowers nodded her head.
The Hundred Flowers Cloud Carriage landed on the ground.
The crowd walked out one after another to breathe in the fresh air.
Qin Li raised his head to look out, the eight directions were flat, there were no mountains or fronts, and the earth led all the way to the extreme distance, giving one a sense of epicness with magnificent mountains and rivers.
The land here was fertile, dark and loose, cut by the meandering river into rice paddies, lined up like the scales of the earth, planted with lush jade valleys, with verdant branches and leaves, the rice was full, and would be ripe in a few more months.
Many fine households carried hoes, coming and going, their faces flushed. On top of the earth there are many forts, these are all valley farms, should be called valley fortress, is the place where the fine households live centrally, the construction is very magnificent.
In the nearest valley fort, an old man of Dharma Sect level suddenly flew out.
The old man’s beard and hair were all white, as soon as he saw the cloud car, he knew that the big shots had come, and kneeled on the ground in fear: “A few seniors have come to visit, I am not honoured.”
Luo Zisong went up a few steps and helped the old man up, “Old man, you’re a big old man, there’s no need to grovel. We aren’t any villains, we just want to stay for a night temporarily, these Yu Gu Dan will be the payment.”
“You are the Ninth Prince!”The old man looked up and froze momentarily, then his face was filled with ecstasy: “You’ve finally returned, the millions of fine households will be very happy when they learnt about this, I’ll prepare the best guest rooms right now!”
“Brother Luo, you’re quite famous.”Qin Li smiled.
Luo Zisong let out a sarcastic smile and explained, “I was a Thousand Castle Valley official for a while, co-ordinating the spirit fields of the Jade Valley Plain. Because I felt the hardships of the fine households, I reformed the farming system, punished corrupt officials, and increased production, allowing the vast number of fine households to live happily for a period of time, but it’s a pity that I later went to the Evil Miasma County.”
Princess Hundred Flowers came to a realisation and laughed, “I’ve heard about this, it seems that you even remonstrated with your father about reducing the tax to eighty-five percent, which drew the wrath of all the officials in the imperial court, so you were relegated to the Evil Miasma County.”
“I can only say that you are too naive, thirty per cent of our Dayan Dynasty’s tax revenue has to be paid to the Wanxiang Holy Land, if you suddenly cut down the tax revenue by five per cent, our Dayan royal family’s life will be in a much tighter position, no wonder father expelled you.”
Luo Zisong shook his head and said in a serious tone, “No, I’m not wrong, the ninety percent of the heavy tax that really goes into the royal family’s pockets isn’t a lot.”
“It’s mainly those big families secretly withholding, substituting the best for the best, and hiding the land in secret. Like our Dingfu innovation, removing the tares and census of the fields, after the tax reduction, the tax revenue has increased instead. It’s probably because this idea is too radical, the Yanjing family hates me to death.”
Qin Li nodded, appreciating Luo Zisong’s caring for the weak attitude.
Princess Hundred Flowers was also surprised, she finally understood why the rumours were spreading that the Ninth Prince had the appearance of a bright ruler.
