Chapter 61

With the help of this wind, the figures of Su Xuan and Yan Yan Lingji quickly lifted off the ground, flying into the air, and then, under Su Xuan’s deliberate control, they quickly moved away from there.

Soon, they flew over many palaces and arrived directly at the back of the Han Wang Gong, at the cold palace of the Zheng state.

This place was sparsely populated and presented a scene of broken walls and ruins.

Su Xuan landed with Yan Yan Lingji.

Yan Yan Lingji’s eyes flickered slightly. Having been carried by Su Xuan in the air for a while, she felt a completely different sensation and couldn't help but say softly: "Zhuang Zhou of the Daoist school once stated in 'Free and Easy Wandering' that 'Liezi could ride the wind, moving with cool and skillful ease, returning only after fifteen days.' Is this the wind-riding described by Zhuang Zhou?"

"This can hardly be called wind-riding!"

Su Xuan shook his head and explained: "At best, it is merely borrowing the wind to travel. The true art of wind-riding is the skill of flight, allowing one to ride the clouds and mist, covering a thousand miles in a day, which is nothing to speak of."

"Listening to your words, it seems you have seen the true art of wind-riding?"

Yan Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan curiously. "Liezi was a member of the Daoist school. Since you know the art of wind-riding, do you come from the Daoist school?"

It was impossible for Yan Yan Lingji not to be curious about Su Xuan’s background.

Such an expert would naturally have his origins.

"I suppose I have some connection with the Daoist school!"

Su Xuan’s words were vague, and he was too lazy to explain the Taiqing. Carefully calculated, the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Methods were all Daoist arts, indeed related to the Daoist school, but they were not the Daoist school of this world.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Yan Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan.

Witnessing with her own eyes that Su Xuan, who was highly favored by the King of Han just yesterday, had become a wanted criminal of Han today, she found it quite interesting.

So she was also very curious about what Su Xuan planned to do next.

Did he want to find a way to clear his name? Or would he just bear the name of a deviant, leave the Han Wang Gong, and become a wanted criminal of Han?

Or perhaps, wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Han?

If he was preparing to take revenge on Han, she wondered if Su Xuan needed allies? She could introduce a powerful ally to Su Xuan.

Even if she chose to fulfill the bet and serve Su Xuan as her master, she had only just attached herself to him, so talking about loyalty was complete nonsense. Yan Yan Lingji still had not changed her idea of pimping and wanting to persuade Su Xuan to join Tian Ze’s group.

It was nothing more than changing the phrasing, from serving Tian Ze as master to cooperation.

"I was inexplicably framed, and more importantly, I have no idea what happened. This makes me appear very passive, so I plan to go and figure out what happened first."

Su Xuan responded to Yan Yan Lingji.

"Are you planning to break into the King of Han’s bedchamber?"

Yan Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan. Although Ji Ji Wuye had framed Su Xuan from the start, he had made some things clear.

Ji Ji Wuye was ordered to apprehend Su Xuan, and the reason was that Su Xuan had colluded with Tian Ze to plot against the King of Han.

As expected, the King of Han’s condition should be very critical right now, and it was highly likely he was lying in his bedchamber waiting to die.

"No need for such trouble!"

Su Xuan said to Yan Yan Lingji.

Yan Yan Lingji was puzzled, and Su Xuan explained: "The King of Han has been taking the elixirs I refined for some time. In other words, he has already left my mark in his body. Using this as a token, I can perform a technique to peek at the King of Han’s condition."

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and as Su Xuan’s hand seals solidified—

In an instant, a touch of white light sprayed from Su Xuan’s fingertips and then condensed into a bright mirror.

The mirror was blurry at first, but then ripples spread, and it gradually became clear.

Yan Yan Lingji watched Su Xuan perform the magic, and after a moment of daze, her gaze fell on the image presented in the mirror.

What the mirror revealed was indeed a bedchamber.

The King of Han was lying on the couch, his face pale. Beside him, a middle-aged man looked sorrowful. Yan Yan Lingji knew a little about this person; it was the Crown Prince of Han.

The Chancellor Zhang Kaidi had a miserable and ugly expression, chatting with someone who looked like a royal physician.

It actually revealed the situation over at the King of Han’s side?

What kind of technique is this?

Yan Yan Lingji couldn't help but feel curious.

Admittedly, she was also skilled in fire-manipulation techniques, but those techniques were barely traceable, as the cultivation method she practiced was fire-attributed.

But Su Xuan’s method was completely in an incomprehensible realm.

"This technique is called 'Moon-Fetching,' flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, like a mirage, an elusive thing. However, after performing this technique, one can fetch the moon and manifest the wall, using this to reveal scenes from elsewhere. This is the Profound Light Technique!"

Su Xuan didn't care if Yan Yan Lingji understood or not, and explained it to her.

Looking at the appearance of the King of Han revealed in the mirror, he commented: "Pale face, no vitality left. It seems our King of Han does not have long to live."

As he spoke, he said to Yan Yan Lingji: "Seeing your deep enemy about to die in front of you, you should be very happy."

Yan Yan Lingji was silent. When she learned that the King of Han was going to die, she was indeed a bit happy, and even wanted to share this news with her former master, Tian Ze, but then, she couldn't help but feel a bit of sorrow.

This sorrow was born for the King of Han.

Even though there was deep hatred in the past, even though the King of Han had brought deep pain to Regarding Baiyue for his own selfish interests.
