Chapter 515

The Black-Hearted True Person was finally beaten by the joint efforts of the three First-Rank figures until his physical body shattered, and in the end, only his spiritual embryo escaped.

Those demonic cultivators of the Northern Polar Demonic Sect who followed the Black-Hearted True Person into the Black Prison, especially the remnants of the Purple Chai Jingong from before, were slaughtered to the last.

Except for a few people.

Almost all were executed.

The Yu Kingdom achieved a great victory.

This game of Gu Changsheng's, using Si Feng as bait, caused the Northern Polar Demonic Sect to suffer heavy losses.

It is said that the Sect Master of the Northern Polar Demonic Sect was furious because of this.

Logically speaking, they should be celebrating.

But in the Imperial Study, the Holy Emperor's angry cursing rang out: "Unreasonable, simply unreasonable!"

Winning was one thing.

But the Black Prison was only thirty miles from the capital; it was no exaggeration to call it the hinterland of the hinterland.

The powerhouses of the Northern Polar Demonic Sect were actually able to bypass countless border outposts.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a trap deliberately set by Gu Changsheng, they would likely have succeeded long ago.

Behind this matter lay two problems.

One, the Northern Polar Demonic Sect did not take the Yu Kingdom seriously at all.

Two, there was a mole in the Yu Kingdom's court.

No matter which point it was, it was enough to make the Holy Emperor furious.

The Holy Emperor cursed.

Two people stood in the Imperial Study: one was Gu Changsheng, and the other was Li Rui.

Gu Changsheng still wore a smiling look.

Li Rui simply closed his eyes to rest.

A full hour passed, perhaps because the Holy Emperor also felt his mouth was dry, and he stopped speaking; at this time, the Eunuch Zheng beside him served a cup of warm, Mingqian tea picked from the finest tea garden in Jiangnan at the most opportune moment.

The Holy Emperor took a sip.

Only then did his attitude improve.

At this time, Gu Changsheng spoke: "Your Majesty, the Daoist Wang of Bai Yujing will return to the cultivation world in a few days; I have secured a spot, and Brother Jiang is the most suitable."

"Oh?"

The Holy Emperor was truly attracted by Gu Changsheng's words.

He naturally knew that it was extremely difficult to receive those of the Upper Three Ranks into the cultivation world.

Bai Yujing could be said to have spent a great deal of effort this time.

At this time.

Li Rui also opened his eyes.

He thought to himself.

'No wonder among all the officials in the court, Lord Gu has the best relationship with the Holy Emperor, even more so than Chief Councilor Zhang.'

There shouldn't be any emperor who wouldn't like a minister who only brings good news.

Hearing that the people from Bai Yujing who had descended to the lower realm were about to return to the cultivation world.

He couldn't help but be startled.

He had helped Tan Yu and Yu Ziyi before.

So during the time the two were in the capital, they didn't visit Li Rui any less.

During their idle chats.

He also learned quite a bit of news about Bai Yujing.

That Daoist Wang whom he had never met was not their master; to be precise, "superior" would be the most appropriate, and among the three, only that Daoist Wang was a genuine core member of Bai Yujing.

His status was high, and his strength was also extremely strong.

That night.

Li Rui had seen it with his own eyes.

That old Daoist used a domineering sealing divine ability to seal off the Black-Hearted True Person's final retreat.

Causing the Black-Hearted Daoist to end up in the miserable state of having his physical body shattered.

However... a First-Rank Dao Body Realm figure could actually cross the Immortal Gate and return to the cultivation world.

What a great effort this must be!

The more he understood, the more surprised he was.

Gu Changsheng: "It was the Dao Lord powerhouse of Bai Yujing who took action; I have already negotiated with Tan Yu, and when the time comes, Brother Jiang will take his spot to go to the cultivation world."

"Bai Yujing has a deep foundation, and Brother Jiang is a capable person; if he can forge a good relationship with Bai Yujing, it will be of great benefit to the Great Yu."

The Holy Emperor was instantly overjoyed.

There was no more anger on his face.

"Good!"

"Jiang Aiqing is indeed a good candidate; go and invite Jiang Aiqing for me."

Just as the Holy Emperor opened his mouth, before Eunuch Zheng could even say "Yes," he was stopped by Gu Changsheng: "Your Majesty, crossing the Immortal Gate is a great burden; even with Brother Jiang's ability, he needs to prepare well. Time is short, and a Dao Lord will come to receive them tomorrow; it might not be good to interrupt him at this time."

Hearing this.

The Holy Emperor pondered: "Changsheng's words are reasonable."

He could agree to let Jiang Linxian go, naturally because Jiang Linxian was already a confidant among confidants to this Lord of the Dragon Court.

It could be said.

It was his discerning eye that picked Jiang Linxian out from among thousands of martial artists.

He had the grace of a talent scout toward Jiang Linxian.

The relationship between the two was both sovereign and subject, and also master and disciple.

With such a relationship.

The Holy Emperor was naturally extremely at ease with Jiang Linxian.

Although among those sent to the cultivation world before, there were also people arranged by the imperial court.

But after all, their strength was insufficient, and the strongest was only in the Primordial Realm.

Even if news came that some had stepped into the Profound Penetration Realm, it was ultimately not as useful as Jiang Linxian, who was in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Those Immortal Sects had Upper Sects.

In fact, he also had the idea of seeking an Upper Sect for the Yu Kingdom.

By comparison, Bai Yujing was undoubtedly an extremely good choice.

One must know, even among the Immortal Dynasties in the cultivation world, many were vassals to Immortal Sects.

Bai Yujing advocated governing by doing nothing and almost never interfered with the Immortal Dynasties under its rule; this undoubtedly best fit the Holy Emperor's intentions.

If they could connect to this line, the Yu Kingdom would have more confidence in its struggles with those Immortal Sects.

The Holy Emperor was in an extremely good mood and finally made a summary:

"When Linxian goes to the cultivation world, I want to be the first to speak."

"Naturally."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Gu Changsheng's face still showed no change.

Li Rui listened the whole time.

Then he followed Gu Changsheng out of the Imperial Study.

Only after leaving the Jingcheng did he speak: "Tower Master, is Brother Jiang willing?"

If there was anyone in this world Jiang Linxian confided in the most.

Even Gu Changsheng had to rank behind him.

Jiang Linxian had sent Jiang Yan away and had once told Li Rui that he did not want to go to the cultivation world, wanting to stay in this realm to undergo a closed-door cultivation until he killed Huang Longzi to avenge his grievances.

But with this turn, he actually agreed to ascend.

How could he not see the clues?

Hearing Li Rui's words, Gu Changsheng seemed to think of something interesting, the corners of his mouth rising much higher.

He heard him say frankly: "Not bad, Brother Jiang was knocked unconscious by me, and then hoisted to Daoist Wang's place."

Hearing this.

Li Rui's mouth twitched.

He knew Jiang Linxian's ability; there were truly not many in the world who could knock him unconscious.

Gu Changsheng happened to be one of them.

Immediately, Gu Changsheng sighed lightly again: "Brother Li, we are all our own people, so I won't hide it from you; Brother Jiang's matter is far from as simple as we thought. Si Feng attracted the gaze of the Wan Fadian powerhouses; when the time comes, it won't just be a Huang Longzi, it might even attract powerhouses from the cultivation world to take action. Only by going to the cultivation world before being discovered can there be a glimmer of survival."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

What a "the most dangerous place is the safest."

He was also secretly startled in his heart; Jiang Linxian could actually attract powerhouses from the cultivation world to take action.

There must be a great secret hidden on him.

But since Gu Changsheng didn't say, he didn't ask.

After finishing the matter of Jiang Linxian, Gu Changsheng then turned to speak of another matter: "Brother Li, you saw the battle last night, and I won't hide it from you; in fact, the Northern Polar Demonic Sect robbed the prison for the sake of Bai Yujing's Immortal Fruit."

"Si Feng stole and ate the Immortal Fruit, and only then came here to avoid the calamity."

Saying this.

Gu Changsheng's eyes rarely revealed envy:

"Brother Li, you don't know, there are many great powers in the cultivation world, but in fact, those who can truly be called immortals are extremely rare and hard to find in the world, and this Immortal Fruit is rumored to contain the secret of becoming an immortal."

"Of course, even if you eat the Immortal Fruit, not everyone can become an immortal."

"Otherwise, Bai Yujing would have been full of immortals walking everywhere long ago."

"It just adds a trace of possibility."

"Of course, anyone who dares to touch the Immortal Fruit will surely invite the pursuit of Bai Yujing; if it weren't for this, I would have wanted to try it myself."

Last night, he took action to forcibly intercept He Jiuxuan's Water Dao Stone.

But he didn't hide it himself, but returned it to Daoist Wang.

Li Rui's eyes moved slightly.

He didn't cover up his going to the Black Prison last night, which is why he was called to the Imperial Study by the Holy Emperor today.

Gu Changsheng had been secretly spying on the commotion in the Black Prison at that time.

Naturally, he knew that Li Rui saw He Jiuxuan extracting the spirit of the Immortal Fruit from Si Feng with the Water Dao Stone.

Just as Gu Changsheng said.

Not everyone can obtain the fortune of the Immortal Fruit.

According to what Li Rui knew, Si Feng had bestowed no less than ten traces of Immortal Qi to the powerhouses of the Purple Chai Jingong back then.

But in fact, most of them could only slowly increase their root bones.

Now it seems.

Si Feng was clearly doing an experiment.

And he was precisely that successful person!

Thinking of this, Li Rui was even more certain that the Immortal Court and the Immortal Dao must never be known to the people of Bai Yujing.
