Chapter 370: Norland Wang Cheng

"Sister Youlan—I truly never expected—your Disguise Technique is still so formidable!"

Long Long Lisha said.

At this moment, Long Long Lisha's figure remained her original one, but her appearance had become slightly uglier than before, with many freckles added to her face; her entire aura differed from the past, transforming her into the likeness of a maid.

"Youlan's Disguise Technique is simply unmatched under heaven!"

A middle-aged man resembling a butler stroked his black beard.

If Ruolansi did not reveal his identity, no one would be able to recognize him now; he looked at least twenty years younger, his head full of white hair had turned black, and his stature had become much shorter than before.

Three days ago.

Jiang Li had comprehended sword intent and originally intended to cultivate further, but news arrived from the royal capital: the current false Crown Prince was to ascend the throne one month early.

With no other choice, Lance had Jiang Li end his cultivation ahead of schedule.

Furthermore, the five of them traveled overnight to reach Youlan, a disguise artist who had previously received kindness from Prince Norland.

Youlan possessed a Disguise Technique unmatched under heaven, so creating disguises for Lance, Long Long Lisha, and the others was as easy as turning over one's hand.

As for Jiang Li, he did not undergo any disguise; in Long Long Lisha's words, few people knew Prince Norland's true identity, so there was no need to hide anything.

"The effect of your disguises—can only last two months; after two months, your original forms will be exposed."

"Of course—if necessary, you can also revert to your original forms prematurely; simply spit your own blood onto your seven orifices, and this will naturally break my Disguise Method. Of course, one cannot rule out someone deliberately preparing special blood to splash upon you, which could also break my Disguise Technique—the counter-method is for you to prepare some black dog blood in advance and carry it on your person; when others inspect you, spit the black dog blood onto your face beforehand to avoid disaster!!"

"Although General Lance will protect you on this journey to Wang Cheng, it remains quite perilous; the current Empress Dowager—Concubine Xiao's cultivation has reached the heavens and pierced the earth; I fear that General Lance..."

Youlan hesitated upon saying this.

Lance sighed and said, "Do not worry about sparing my face; if one is inferior, one is inferior. This woman Xiao is a remarkable woman of her generation; in our era, she was a heavenly genius. We are of the same generation, and back then, I was inferior to her in every single matter!!!"

Bitterness showed on Lance's face.

"Therefore, I suggest that each of you keep some of your own blood on your persons!"

"In that case! In times of crisis, you can also muddle your way through," Youlan said.

Night—

Just as Jiang Li was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly lifted his blanket and embraced him.

A faint fragrance drifted over.

Moreover, that person hugged his waist from behind and pressed against his body, causing him to tremble all over just as he was about to move, and then his skin became scalding hot.

"Your Highness—tomorrow we go to Wang Cheng; I have made up my mind, sooner or later I am your woman!"

"There are so many women in Wang Cheng, Your Highness would do better not to touch them; but Your Highness is still a big boy—if you do not experience women, how can you resist them?"

"Your Highness—please do not refuse me, alright?"

Going to Norland Wang Cheng.

There were only three people: Jiang Li, Long Long Lisha, and Lance.

Long Long Lisha attended to Jiang Li's daily life.

Lance, meanwhile, secretly and meticulously taught Jiang Li Sword Techniques.

"Your Highness, you can no longer use the name Delano; it is too easy for people to make associations!"

Lance said.

"Then what should I call myself?" Jiang Li asked.

"Then we must ask Your Highness to endure a slight grievance; Your Highness shall be called Lan Tian!"

"Old General, are you not afraid that schemers will associate me with you?" Jiang Li asked.

Before Lance could explain,

Long Long Lisha said, "Your Highness, you have forgotten quite a few things; the Lan family is the second greatest family in Norland. Not to mention anything else, even among the court ministers, half bear the surname Lan; otherwise, how could we have rallied over three thousand people within the imperial palace over these years!!"

"Oh—so there is such a connection. I truly had forgotten," Jiang Li said.

"Your Highness—your first task upon reaching Wang Cheng is to pass the martial arts competition!"

"And achieve a good result; only then will you qualify to serve in the imperial city. If luck is on your side, you might even be selected to enter the imperial palace! Once Your Highness enters the imperial palace, there will be far greater room for maneuver.

Your Highness, follow the list Long Long Lisha gave you; contact them when opportunities arise and arrange them properly. Then, on the day the false Crown Prince ascends the throne, when Your Highness shouts aloud, countless people will surely support you, and seizing the position of Norland's emperor will be effortless!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but pour cold water on them, saying, "General Lance, are you so certain that the people on this list won't change their minds or betray us?"

"No—they won't; the people of Norland have faith."

"Your Highness need not worry. If Your Highness had used some methods to pass the trial of the Flame Valley, you would certainly face criticism; but Your Highness used no cheating method, passing the trial of the Flame Valley through sheer force, and obtained the ultimate benefit. Everyone of Norland knows what this means; this itself signifies the birth of a new king!"

"They may betray themselves, but they will absolutely never betray their faith, for this faith has penetrated every person in Norland for nearly ten thousand years," Lance said.

Jiang Li nodded.

"Furthermore—Your Highness, normally, only those who pass three stages of assessment in the martial arts competition qualify to own a residence in Norland and have their own butlers and maids; therefore, after we two enter Norland Wang Cheng, we must temporarily separate from Your Highness."

"Once Your Highness passes the first two stages of assessment, simply choose the two of us as your servants."

The three discussed many details.

Finally, they arrived at Norland Wang Cheng.

Just upon arriving at Norland Wang Cheng, Jiang Li was stunned by the city walls of Norland Wang Cheng.

In his previous human society, it had once been a technological society.

But even back then, Jiang Li had never seen city walls so shocking.

A full hundred meters high, humans before its vermilion gates were not even comparable to ants.

Moreover, the thickness of these city walls was terrifying, estimated to be at least two hundred meters.

With such thickness, even the most powerful weapons of a technological society would struggle to pierce through in one shot.

The left and right ends of the city walls stretched beyond sight.

Upon reaching the city gate, the guarding soldiers did not make things difficult for them.

Jiang Li was in front, with Lance and Long Long Lisha following behind.

Having just undergone interrogation and not yet entered the city, a great sense of alarm surged in Jiang Li's heart.

Above his head, it began to rain—a very peculiar blood. These drops of blood seeped out from the highest wall, scattering like raindrops.

His heart gave a start, and he felt some concern for Lance and Long Long Lisha...

You Lan had once said that to break the Disguise Technique, one only needed to get one's own blood on the seven orifices; but there was another possibility—that someone targeting his Disguise Technique could use a mixture of other bloods to break it.
