Chapter 411

If there is still anything that Li Hanyi cannot let go of today.

Then it must be the failure to save her mother on the execution ground back then.

Actually,

such a thing,

anyone who encounters it would be the same as Li Hanyi.

During the Rebellion of the Eight Princes back then,

the eight princes each formed their own factions, fighting for the position of the Nine Cauldrons, and among them, the Seventh Prince, Prince Langya Xiao Ruofeng, had the highest prestige.

On the day before the former king passed away.

The eight princes led their respective troops to the Qingping Palace.

And by Xiao Ruofeng's side, there were a large group of good friends he had made while traveling the Jianghu back then.

Among them was the successor of the Sword Heart Tomb, Li Xinyue,

there was one of the four heroes of the Lei Sect, Lei Mengsha,

there was a youth who looked only about fifteen years old but could easily block over a dozen experts from the enemy side with the Wuyue Spear in his hand. "080"

There was also a long-haired man holding a long staff, who sat alone guarding the four directions of Tianqi City, also blocking eighteen first-class experts who tried to break into the city.

That day,

if one were to say Xiao Ruofeng had the best chance of winning that supreme position,

then the Third Prince Xiao Ruojin had the least hope, because his troops only had three hundred Tiger Ben generals.

However,

because Prince Langya Xiao Ruofeng liked to travel through mountains and rivers and make friends with Jianghu righteous men, but didn't love power and high positions, and he was also on very good terms with the Third Prince Xiao Ruojin.

Therefore,

Xiao Ruofeng directly led a group of experts to escort Xiao Ruojin to the front of the Pingqing Palace, and when the Five Great Eunuchs of the time were about to read the name written on the edict.

He took the succession edict from the hands of the Five Great Eunuchs,

and after taking a look, he tore it to pieces, and only then did he say that the name written on the edict was the Third Prince Xiao Ruojin.

Facing such an act of treason.

The Five Great Eunuchs, who were carrying out the imperial order, did not stop him, but instead were the first to kneel down to the Third Prince Xiao Ruojin.

And the Third Prince Xiao Ruojin,

just like that, in the weakest position, successfully ascended to that position.

The next day,

Prince Langya Xiao Ruofeng was appointed as the Great Pillar of the State, called the Great Protector of Northern Li, commanding the three armies.

And among the group of experts who escorted Xiao Ruojin into the city at that time, only Lei Mengsha of the Lei Sect accepted an official position, becoming one of the Eight Pillars of the State.

As for Li Xinyue and the others, they returned to the shadows, protecting the imperial city under the codenames Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, and were known as the Four Guardians of Tianqi.

At that time,

Lei Mengsha was expelled by the Lei Sect because he violated the ancestral instruction of the Lei Sect not to enter the military.

It was precisely because of this,

that Lei Hanyi, who was only eleven years old at the time, could not enter the Lei Sect, so she could only inherit the Sword Heart Formula of the Sword Heart Tomb, and took her mother Li Xinyue's surname, Li, and was named Li Hanyi.

After this,

Li Hanyi was taken as a disciple by the then master of Xueyue City, Li Changsheng.

And in the days that followed.

Except for going to Tianqi City once when her younger brother Lei Wujie was born, violating the orders of Lei Mengsha and Li Xinyue, Li Hanyi never stepped into it again.

Other times, she roamed the Jianghu with Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, who were also disciples of Li Changsheng.

Until the year she was nineteen,

the Demonic Sect leader Ye Dingzhi led a group of Demonic Sect powerhouses to march east, and Xueyue City, as a righteous Jianghu force, contended against them.

And Li Hanyi, who was a disciple of the Xueyue City master Li Changsheng at the time, shattered the long swords in the hands of the eight elders of the Demonic Sect with her own strength.

That day,

Li Hanyi was honored by the world as the Xueyue Sword Immortal.

Actually, at this time,

except for a few people, no one in the Northern Li Jianghu knew that Li Hanyi was the daughter of Lei Mengsha, one of the Eight Pillars of the State, and Li Xinyue, the Azure Dragon of the Four Guardians of Tianqi.

Until four years ago,

which was the sixteenth year after Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin ascended the throne, Li Hanyi, who was already the Second Master of Xueyue City, stepped into Tianqi City again.

This year,

a major event occurred in the Northern Li Imperial Realm, which was the Prince Langya Rebellion Case!

On the execution ground at that time.

Among the Four Guardians of Tianqi, only Li Xinyue, who held the Azure Dragon position, went to rescue Prince Langya.

However,

blocking Li Xinyue's rescue were not only the Five Great Eunuchs of Tianqi, but also the seven masters of the Imperial Observatory, and Ji Ruofeng, the Bai Hu of the Four Guardians of Tianqi!

And although Li Hanyi had already entered the Sword Immortal realm at the time,

facing such a group of powerhouses,

it was clearly impossible for her to help Li Xinyue rescue Prince Langya.

And because of the fear of Li Hanyi's terrifying strength and status, Emperor Mingde promised Li Hanyi that she could only take one person away from the execution ground...

Finally,

Prince Langya committed suicide on the execution ground.

Li Hanyi brought the heavily injured Li Xinyue back to the Lei Clan Fortress.

After that,

the two returned to the Sword Heart Tomb and lived on Sword Heart Cliff for ten days.

Ten days later, Li Xinyue closed her eyes and passed away peacefully.

Looking at the increasingly closer Tianqi City, Li Hanyi sighed softly:

"The reason my father and mother forbade me from entering Tianqi City back then was because they didn't want me to be dragged into that court struggle."

"However, they themselves, because of that so-called Jianghu righteousness, ultimately didn't have a good ending; one fell on Luolei Mountain, and the other lost her life in the Prince Langya Rebellion Case."

Feeling the suddenly low mood of Li Hanyi.

Jiang Chen hugged her tightly and said softly: "Master doesn't need to be too sad; after all, you did your best back then, and besides, aren't I here now."

"Also, Master, do you have any understanding of the matter regarding that immortal Mo Yi?"

"Hmm."

Li Hanyi nodded gently, then looked up at Jiang Chen, her eyes filled with anticipation:

"Is there really anyone in this world who can resurrect someone who has already died?"

"I'm not clear either; however, although that Mo Yi hasn't succeeded for so many years, this might also be because his strength isn't enough yet."

Jiang Chen comforted her with a smile:

"4.4 So Master, what you need to do now is to cultivate hard; since the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm isn't enough, then cultivate to the Land Immortal, and if the Land Immortal still isn't enough, then the Divine Immortal Realm. Perhaps when your cultivation is high enough, you might really be able to resurrect your father and mother."

Although Jiang Chen feels that resurrecting someone who has already died is a bit absurd, it's not bad to let Li Hanyi have something to look forward to in her heart.

Because he knows,

even if she killed everyone on the execution ground back then, Li Hanyi might not be able to resolve her knot.

"Alright, let's go down quickly."

Jiang Chen took a look at Tianqi City below and smiled slightly: "Let's go directly to the Imperial Observatory; I didn't expect that old Daoist to have brought a disciple from Mount Qingcheng here."
