Chapter 31

After coming out of the King of Equal Rank's Mansion.

Li Qingxian almost couldn't stand steady, his whole body trembling slightly. He had always thought the Ancestor didn't have much airs, and he had always been trying to scheme and manage. In fact, all these years, from the Empress holding power to the Qing Lian Immortal Mansion running wild, the Black-Clad Guard had been precarious, with their lives hanging by a thread. Although the Nine Thousand Years Old had taken care of them because of past sentiments, the four great families were, after all, relying on Li Xianzhi's glory to rise, and the disciples in the family were mostly incompetent. Li Qingxian was anxious.

He wanted to make contributions, he wanted to cling to a powerful thigh.

"What has happened to me? I am Li Qingxian of the Burning Silence Sword." Li Qingxian's eyes were listless, and his old face was full of shame.

Thinking of his youth, how high his spirit was, his ambitions soaring, his actions uninhibited. But now, he was scheming and fawning before everyone.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Li Hongyu looked at Li Qingxian with concern. "Please don't mind my father, he is just like this. These past few days I've seen him very worried, always thinking about things; I'm afraid something huge is going to happen."

Ever since Li Hongyu entered the Capital, she had felt somewhat uncomfortable; everything that happened here seemed to be something she was the last to know. She had no concept of how much was involved. It was not as carefree as living in Dongjiang City.

But her father was here, and now such a big thing had happened in the Great Chu. The Empress was under house arrest by her own father, and the Qing Lian Immortal Mansion had been wiped out in one go. The Nine Thousand Years Old controlled the court and followed her father's lead, and it was said that the Chu Huang was bedridden.

Li Hongyu was afraid.

Plus, Li Xianzhi had just questioned the Commander, who was nominally her grand-master. Was this still her idle father? Li Hongyu really wanted to make a scene at Li Xianzhi like before, but she couldn't.

The aura of a superior on Li Xianzhi made Li Hongyu afraid. Li Hongyu was not a little girl who didn't understand anything.

"Commander, I understand what you are thinking. But I think you should just try your best to do your duty; that way you won't have to look at anyone's face. I don't think father was questioning you, but waking you up. I've heard many legends about you from my master, what do you think?" Li Hongyu smiled and stepped forward to support Li Qingxian's arm, looking at Li Qingxian affectionately.

"Truly a good child."

Li Qingxian didn't call her 'Aunt' again, but looked at Li Hongyu with love.

Yes, do your duty well.

"This daughter of mine, really cannot be underestimated." Li Qingxian narrowed his eyes, smiling at the flowers in the garden.

The voices of the two people outside the mansion reached his ears without missing a word. His intention today was to give Li Qingxian a hint. Since the last contact with Li Qingxian, Li Xianzhi had seen where the obstacles in Li Qingxian's cultivation lay.

Li Qingxian's talent was extraordinary; logically speaking, at this age, not to mention achieving a True God, stepping into the Ascension Realm was more than enough. People, you cannot forget your most fundamental things.

"Let's go, let's go find the Nine Thousand Years Old, I will personally take people to Qingyang County."

Li Qingxian seemed to have regained his fighting spirit, and with Li Hongyu's support, he quickly left the King of Equal Rank's Mansion and rushed to the Imperial Palace.

Qingyang County, located in the south.

At this moment, it was the golden October, the harvest season. At this time, a group of mortals were not busy harvesting grain, but were holding up a big banner to challenge the entire Great Chu, which was truly puzzling.

"What to do, what do you say we should do? News came from the Capital that the Nine Thousand Years Old and that old man Li Qingxian are actually coming in person. You are trying to kill me." In the garrison mansion of Qingyang County, the garrison general Bailong was so anxious he was scratching his head.

A young man seemed to be very indifferent to this, and the young man's few companions were giggling as they watched Bailong's appearance. The young man stood up, pacified Bailong, and said: "General Bailong, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just a eunuch? We will kill him for you, why be so miserable, and aren't you afraid of outsiders laughing at you."

This group of people had men and women, five in total. Their dress and appearance were strange, and they didn't look like people from the Great Chu Dynasty at all.

"You speak lightly, I know your origins are great, and your cultivation is deep. But don't underestimate this Nine Thousand Years Old. You probably don't know what happened in the Capital recently; the Empress was put under house arrest, and the Qing Lian Immortal Mansion was wiped out. Guess who did it?"

"The Nine Thousand Years Old?" The young man looked at Bailong in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"If it were the Nine Thousand Years Old, it would be fine, but the Nine Thousand Years Old has a master you don't know about. The Nine Thousand Years Old is now a half-step Supreme powerhouse, and it is said that his master is even more terrifying than him. Many people speculate that that person is a true Supreme powerhouse. Now do you still dare to underestimate this Nine Thousand Years Old?" Bailong looked at these guys of unknown origin with malice.

If it weren't for his own misconduct, being caught by others, he wouldn't have rashly waded into this muddy water.

"Divine Lord!" The young man finally showed a trace of shock. This world actually hid a Divine Lord powerhouse. "This is not right, we inquired about the news clearly when we came; the highest in this world is only a half-step Divine Lord." The young man cast a questioning look at his companions.

"Oh, I say, Captain, what are you afraid of? Is it strange that such a big world has a few old antiques? Besides, we are not going to directly confront a Divine Lord powerhouse. We are just coming to this world to help others plant seeds. Now that the seeds have been sown, at worst we can just withdraw from this world." Another young man spread his hands, his face not worried at all.

"Xiuqin, what do you think? I remember you have some connection with this world. The domain where your family is located is very close to here, tell us your opinion."

"My purpose is different from yours, I'm just here to find some things. As for your mission, it has nothing to do with me." Bai Xiuqin didn't want to get involved in this matter at all; she was just here to take a look at her daughter.

"You..."

Someone seemed very dissatisfied, pointing at Bai Xiuqin with anger on his face.

This white lotus, relying on her deep cultivation along the way, always looked at their group with contempt; he really didn't know what she was proud of.

Isn't it just that she was born a bit better, but now she hasn't fallen to being with people like them.

"Alright, Mo, don't argue."

The young man frowned, looking at the departing Bai Xiuqin, his eyes containing a sharp light. Then he turned to look at Bailong and said: "General Bailong, please give us some time; we will naturally find a way to deal with that person for you."

"Hmph, I hope so. I know very well what kind of plans you are making. In your eyes, I can see contempt; it seems that the people of our Great Chu are all ants and insects in your eyes. But I want to tell you, be careful, for caution is the parent of safety."

After Bailong finished speaking, he quickly left the dark room.

"Captain, this Bailong is too rude, why don't we kill him? Change to someone else."

"Killing at every turn, who do you think you are?"
