Chapter 144: Nanxiang City

The recovery of spiritual energy had only been known to the general public for two years. For the vast majority of people, they had just embarked on the path of cultivation. When most people were still Qi Refining stage cultivators, Golden Core stage cultivators were absolutely super strong existences.

However, now, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, directly shocking everyone who witnessed this scene, even the powerful people who were secretly paying attention to the development of the situation were incomparably solemn.

Golden Core stage cultivators, even for the powerful people who had long known about the recovery of spiritual energy and had preemptively seized some cultivation resources, were not easy to cultivate. Even for the royal family, Golden Core cultivators were one less for every one that died.

The former Nanxiang County government office, now the Nanxiang Prefecture government office, Prince Fu stood on the observation tower in the government office, looking at the Lingguang Hall direction with a dark face.

The imperial court had already sent soldiers to block every intersection, and the attitude had been made clear: the Master of the Lingguang Hall must submit to the imperial court. He didn't expect that the Master of the Lingguang Hall would dare to openly oppose the imperial court.

He wanted to let the Golden Core cultivator under his command teach the Master of the Lingguang Hall a lesson, but he didn't expect to be counter-killed.

Prince Fu felt a ball of fire burning in his chest. Now Nanxiang Prefecture was under his management, and the Lingguang Hall was undoubtedly openly slapping his face: "Someone! Notify the Heaven Department, let the Heaven Department send the Demon-Suppressing Army to block the intersections of the Lingguang Hall. Anyone who dares to enter or leave the Lingguang Hall, kill without mercy."

Compared to Prince Fu's exasperation, others were happy to see it.

For some powerful people and great families, they had long not wanted to be controlled by the royal family, but due to some reasons, they were not easy to express their stance openly. Now that someone had started, it wouldn't be abrupt for them to act the same way in the future.

And for those ordinary people who had spiritual roots and wanted to cultivate but couldn't find a way, the strong attitude of the Lingguang Hall and the strength it displayed gave them even more confidence.

Before, some people were afraid to take risks because of the imperial court's blockade, but now they were not so afraid. Looking at the dozens of people bathed in flames behind the gate tower, their hearts became more and more restless.

Outside the main hall of the Lingguang Hall, Hua Changxi saw more people on the fire stone plaza below, the corners of her mouth hooked, and then she turned and returned to the main hall to continue cultivating.

Dawn broke, Hua Changxi walked out of the main hall, and there was a red-covered book in her hand, titled "Zhu Que Army Roster."

An Ran: Fire spiritual root, possesses Phoenix bloodline.

An Ze: Fire spiritual root, possesses Phoenix bloodline.

Yun You: Fire spiritual root, possesses Azure Luan bloodline.

Su Yu: Fire spiritual root, possesses Golden Crow bloodline.

Ye Liyue: Fire spiritual root, possesses Bi Fang bloodline.

?

Liu Shuyi: Fire spiritual root.

Qin Zhilan: Fire spiritual root.

Hua Changxi looked at the automatically generated roster, somewhat surprised by the high technology of the ancient immortal cultivation era. It was one thing to be able to detect spiritual roots, but it could even detect what kind of bloodline one had.

Moreover, in one night yesterday, eighteen people accepted the Zhu Que preaching. Adding the previous An Ran and An Ze, the Zhu Que Army had a number of twenty.

Hua Changxi sensed spiritual energy fluctuations in the Practice Hall opposite the Preaching Hall. She released her divine sense to probe, and when she saw that the eighteen people who accepted the preaching last night had all scattered their cultivation and chose to re-cultivate, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

"These people are all ruthless people, saying they would scrap their cultivation and they did."

Among them, the highest cultivation had reached the late stage of the Qi Sea stage and could break through to the Golden Core at any time. Scrapping their cultivation like this was decisive enough.

But soon, a look of realization appeared on Hua Changxi's face. People who dared to enter the Lingguang Hall on the first day she released the news, risking the imperial court's accountability, were enough to show that they were people with strong subjective initiative.

Hua Changxi didn't disturb them, nor did she appear to see them, because Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou were going to teach in the No. 6 Qihuang Hall next, and she had nothing to do when she returned to the Medicine Department, so she simply returned to the main hall, took out the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials, and began to practice alchemy.

"What? Prince Fu sent people to attack the Lingguang Hall, is he crazy?"

In the Heaven Department, Wei Zhenjie knew that Prince Fu had sent a late-stage Golden Core cultivator to attack the Lingguang Hall, and he felt terrible.

The Four Spirits were the supreme existence of the Four Spirits World and the location of the interface will. The Lingguang Hall represented the power of Zhu Que. Attacking the Lingguang Hall was disrespect to Zhu Que and would suffer backlash.

Chu Junyi: "Master, Prince Fu wants to mobilize the Demon-Suppressing Army to block the intersections of the Lingguang Hall..."

Wei Zhenjie interrupted him directly: "Don't worry about him, and don't have any contact with him during this period."

Chu Junyi looked over in confusion.

Wei Zhenjie said unfathomably: "Prince Fu will definitely have bad luck during this period. If he can't resolve it... heh..."

Chu Junyi looked surprised: "Just because he sent people to attack the Lingguang Hall? Then, wouldn't the Lingguang Hall be above everyone else? And that Master of the Lingguang Hall, we can't offend her either?"

Wei Zhenjie: "Of course, we must respect the Lingguang Hall. As for the people inside, it depends on the situation. The Master of the Lingguang Hall is only temporarily in charge of the Lingguang Hall, and she cannot represent Zhu Que."

After hearing this, Chu Junyi nodded, and then added: "If we ignore Prince Fu, the Retired Emperor and the Emperor will be angry."

Wei Zhenjie was silent for a while: "I will enter the palace in a while. Prince Fu acts recklessly regardless of the consequences, but the Emperor will consider the overall situation. With the recovery of spiritual energy, the imperial family's luck is already declining. The Emperor and the Retired Emperor dare not, and will not, do anything that damages the imperial family's luck."

Hearing this, Chu Junyi didn't say anything more.

Wei Zhenjie: "During this period, you go to the Nanxiang County territory more often. The Imperial Observatory calculated that the star signs in the south are changing quite fast, and they have faintly suppressed the north, east, and west. I'm afraid there will be a big change in the near future."

Chu Junyi was puzzled: "What big change will there be?"

Wei Zhenjie looked at his apprentice: "Nanxiang County... this name is wrong. It should be called a city, Nanxiang City."

"In ancient times, the most powerful forces in the Central Continent were the five holy lands and the four major cities set up by the four continents in the Central Continent. Nanxiang City was one of them. Besides that, there were Dongxiang City, Xixiang City, and Beixiang City."

"You possess the Fire Qilin bloodline. Nanxiang City was the stronghold set up by the Zhu Que Continent in the Central Continent, and the fire spiritual energy is the most rich and pure. Besides the City Lord's Mansion, Nanxiang City also has nine major blessed lands. If you can get a cave dwelling, it will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation."

"The Lingguang Hall has already appeared, and Nanxiang City is probably not far away."

After hearing this, Chu Junyi immediately nodded in response: "The disciple has remembered."

Afterward, Wei Zhenjie entered the palace, and Chu Junyi also sent away the people sent by Prince Fu.

"Commander, we are not going to block the intersections of the Lingguang Hall. Will Prince Fu send other cultivators?"

"Let him send them."

"If you ask me, blocking the intersections won't stop people. It's better to just open it."

"Who is Prince Fu? The Emperor's own brother, the Retired Emperor's beloved son. He has had his way for many years, and now that he has been slapped in the face like this, it would be strange if he gave up."

"If I were the Master of the Lingguang Hall, I would directly destroy everyone who blocked the road. Destroy them once, destroy them again. Even if Prince Fu doesn't give up, his subordinates won't send themselves to death."

"I think, the Master of the Lingguang Hall should have other considerations. The imperial court's blockade of the intersections is, to some extent, a test for those who want to enter the Lingguang Hall to obtain techniques."

"That's true." ===== CHAPTER 145 =====
