Chapter 91: Princess Longji

~9 min read 1,791 words

The Golden Crow rose to the east, casting hundreds of millions of golden rays.

In front of the Qi Wang Mansion.

Three hundred elite cavalry were ready, wearing black iron armor and riding Jiao Blood Horses.

Zhang Shaokang, Ding Ce, Guo Chen, and Dong Zhong had also mounted their respective steeds, which were Qilin Horses prepared for them by the Qi Wang Mansion.

The Jiao Blood Horse was already a top-tier warhorse in the world, capable of traveling thirty thousand li day and night.

And the Qilin Horse could travel fifty thousand li day and night.

They had a trace of Qilin blood flowing in their bodies, and their limbs and foreheads were covered with dense Qilin scales. They were one of the four famous horses in the world.

They were physically strong, with surging blood Qi, and with a full-force charge, they could even kill an Earth Realm martial artist.

As for Yin Qi's mount, it was a strange beast.

It was called a Lingxi Beast.

The Lingxi Beast was as white as jade, shaped like an ox, with a single horn on its head.

They were gentle in temperament, ran as if helped by the wind, could briefly walk on air, and traveling one hundred thousand li a day was not a problem.

Disaster relief is like fighting a fire.

Traveling twenty thousand li to Hongzhou, Yin Qi couldn't go there shaking in a carriage.

Otherwise, by the time he arrived, the people of Hongzhou would have all starved to death.

Great Shang was not without war machines that could fly, but since they were war machines, unless there was a war and troops needed to be delivered quickly, the imperial court would not easily use them.

The Lingxi Beast stood obediently, letting the servants install a wide seat on it.

Yin Qi looked at Zhou Ji, who was full of worry, and smiled gently to comfort her, "Princess, please rest assured. I have Zhang Commander and the others protecting me, so nothing will happen. What's more, within the Great Shang territory, who would dare to make a move against me?"

He was the eldest son of the Human Emperor; making a move against him was equivalent to being an enemy of Great Shang, or even an enemy of the entire human race.

As long as they weren't brain-damaged, no immortal powerhouse would make a move against him.

As for those below the immortal realm, he had no fear.

Zhou Ji shook her head and said, "I'm not worried about that, it's just that there's no one to take care of you on this journey, and the Prince will definitely suffer."

She was referring to the maids by his side.

Yin Qi smiled gently, "I am going for disaster relief, the schedule is urgent, how can I bring them along. The seat is also installed, Princess, I have to go too. You stay at home with peace of mind, and I will be back in four or five months."

As he spoke, he jumped onto the Lingxi Beast in one leap.

The wide seat was very comfortable to sit on.

……

Giddyap! Giddyap!

Leaving Zhaoge, Yin Qi and his party headed south.

Running on the wide imperial road, three hundred elite cavalry ran with the feeling of thousands of troops and horses rushing.

Half of the cavalry were in front, and half were behind.

Yin Qi was in the middle of the cavalry, with Zhang Shaokang and the other four guarding his left and right.

This could protect his safety to the greatest extent.

The imperial road of Great Shang connected the whole world, not only within the territory but also connected to various vassal states.

These imperial roads were generally about two hundred meters wide and could be traced back to the Yellow Emperor's time. For the need of transporting troops nationwide, the Yellow Emperor specifically ordered the immortal powerhouses under his command to cast the imperial road system that extended in all directions with immortal magic.

These imperial roads were extremely solid, and even after tens of thousands of years, they remained intact.

In fact, Yin Qi really wanted to ask the Yellow Emperor:

Why build imperial roads? Isn't building teleportation arrays better?

The prehistoric continent was too big, and even for immortal powerhouses, wanting to cross it would take decades or even a hundred years.

It was a waste of time.

The Lingxi Beast was very fast, but it was very stable to sit on, feeling almost no bumps, and there was no strong wind blowing in his face as imagined, as if an invisible force blocked the strong wind around him.

Otherwise, at the speed of the Lingxi Beast, which was at least a thousand yards, the strong wind could blow him away directly.

Sitting on the Lingxi Beast, Yin Qi looked at the surroundings with great interest.

This was his true observation of this world. He found that the sky was extremely deep, with a feeling of unfathomability. Around him were mountains, and many peaks were like pillars supporting the sky, piercing into the clouds.

He could feel that this was an incomparably vast world, so vast that it was hard to describe in words.

It's just that no matter how good the scenery is, you will get tired of watching it too much.

By the afternoon, Yin Qi simply took out a book to read.

This was a thick silk book called "Strange Tales and Oddities," which recorded various strange tales and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

In this era, there was no paper. Ordinary books used bamboo slips, precious books used silk books, and only top-level books or cultivation techniques would be recorded with inheritance jade slips.

Although the Jiao Blood Horse could travel thirty thousand li day and night, it couldn't really run day and night.

Even if the person could stand it, the horse couldn't.

At the speed of Yin Qi and his party, they could travel about ten thousand li a day.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, thirteen days had gone by.

This journey was very calm, and they didn't encounter any bandits blocking the road, or demons, monsters, ghosts, or spirits.

On this sunny day, Yin Qi was sitting on the back of the Lingxi Beast reading a book as usual, when suddenly a very mysterious feeling came to his heart, but he couldn't say it specifically.

He looked up and looked around. Behind and to the left and right was an endless plain, with heavy rice ears showing a golden color.

Looking into the distance, the front was layered with green mountains, and the scenery was beautiful.

Yin Qi was confused in his heart, but he still believed in his feeling, so he turned and asked, "Zhang General, where are we?"

Zhang Shaokang replied, "Prince, ahead is Phoenix Mountain."

"Phoenix Mountain?"

Yin Qi frowned slightly. He felt that this name sounded a bit familiar, but he couldn't recall it for a while, so he asked, "Does this Phoenix Mountain have anything worth mentioning?"

Zhang Shaokang smiled slightly and said, "There really is something worth mentioning about this. Phoenix Mountain is actually just an ordinary big mountain within our Great Shang territory. However, since more than ten years ago, it is said that someone saw immortal palaces and jade towers in Phoenix Mountain, so it was rumored that immortals lived in it, and it even attracted many people to enter the mountain to seek immortals and ask about the Dao."

"But no one has ever succeeded."

"Gradually, this legend became a legend, but there are still rumors of woodcutters seeing immortal palaces and jade towers from afar."

"I once passed by here and also entered the mountain to seek immortals, but in the end, I found nothing."

"Phoenix Mountain, immortal palaces and jade towers!"

Yin Qi's eyes lit up.

He remembered; wasn't this where Princess Longji lived!

Princess Longji, the daughter of Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West, because she had thoughts of mortals, she lost her manners at the Flat Peach Banquet, so she was demoted by Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West to Phoenix Mountain's Green Luan Douque to reflect.

She was good at water-based immortal magic and had outstanding sword skills. In the Fengshen War, she forcefully defeated the second-generation elite disciple of the Intercepting Sect, Luo Xuan.

In the original work "Fengshen Yanyi," she was a true daughter of heaven.

But such a daughter of heaven was forcibly matched by the Old Man under the Moon to marry Hong Jin, and finally ended up dying in the attack on the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, and was finally sealed as the Red Phoenix Star.

And who was Hong Jin?

Although Hong Jin was a disciple of the Intercepting Sect, he was only a general of Sanshan Pass, estimated to be in the Human Immortal Realm.

And Princess Longji was at least in the Mysterious Immortal Realm or above.

Whether it was status or cultivation, he and Princess Longji were worlds apart.

Did the Old Man under the Moon have the ability to forcibly marry the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor?

It was clear that he didn't have this ability.

This matter must have been approved by Haotian, and this matter must have been a secret deal between Haotian and others. From this, it could be seen that Princess Longji was also a pitiful person, whose fate was manipulated by others.

She and Deng Chanyu could be called the two great regrets.

"Princess Longji!"

Yin Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and essence flashed.

Such a beautiful woman was actually matched to Hong Jin and ended up dying; it was truly regrettable.

Since that was the case, why not take her into his harem?

He could get a beauty and a great help, and he would also cultivate the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," which was originally a dual cultivation path.

The higher the other party's cultivation, the higher his own benefits.

If it were other fairies, Yin Qi might not have been sure.

But since Princess Longji had thoughts of mortals, which meant she yearned for the love of the human world, then it wouldn't be a big problem.

Yang Tianyou could handle Princess Yunhua, Liu Yanchang could handle the Three Holy Mothers, and even the Cowherd could handle the Weaver Girl. They were all ordinary commoners; there was no reason he was worse than these three.

This love saint is about to appear!
