Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 406 - 190: Such Abandonment, Spreading the Net for the Sparrow (Part 3)

Entering the inner hall, he instructed the maid to take the women down for washing, Ji Changlie no longer displayed his previous flippant demeanor, instead, he stood by the window with a somber expression.

Silently gazing at the drooping willows outside the window, his eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Gu Qingshuang walk away.

"Uncle Tonx, do you think this move of mine was the right one, or the wrong one?"

As his ethereal voice rang out, a figure appeared behind Ji Changlie, like a wisp of smoke.

The newcomer had a clean-shaven face, gray hair, and a face full of wrinkles, appearing extremely aged.

This old man came and went without stirring even a whisper of wind, his body brushed by silk threads in the room, clearly standing there, yet without any substance.

Upon his appearance, the Qi mechanism inside the room turned icy cold, as if plunged into the depths of a winter night.

"Changlie, you are now a prince, as I’ve said many times before, there’s no need to call this old servant Uncle Tonx anymore. It’s been so many years since Ji Changshou risked his life to secure the state for sixteen years.

Whatever you wish to do, just go ahead and do it, this old servant has no good advice to offer.

In any case, anyone who dares to harm you in the slightest will have to reckon with this old servant’s Inconstant Hand, which will ensure your safety."

Hearing this, Ji Changlie exhaled a long breath, a smile appeared on his face, pure and gentle, like the young lad he once was.

"With Uncle Tonx’s words, I am at ease. This time, the visits from Elder Mingyu and Elder Xuan Bing of the Extreme Yin Sect who came with Xuan He, I wonder about their true capabilities, will there be any unexpected developments?"

"No worries, although you only broke through to the Unity Realm with the Great Joyful Zen Skill sent by the Esoteric Sect, after all, you’re considered a Grandmaster of the World. Mingyu and Xuan Bing are somewhat stronger than you, but not by much...

Despite their large reputations, these two Extreme Yin elders have only reached the Dual Spirit Communication of the Unity Realm, and haven’t even attained the True Qi Divinity Transformation at the spiritual level, what tricks can they play?"

The old eunuch Uncle Tonx chuckled lightly twice, then continued: "Even if the Extreme Yin Sect Leader himself came, he might not be able to suppress this old servant, unless he has already broken through to the Yang Essence Realm in these years, able to Transform Heart Appearance into Truth."

Upon saying this, the old eunuch shook his head gently.

Thinking to himself, if the Extreme Yin Sect Leader Weik Wuji had achieved the Unity Yang Realm, he would have already been famous on the Celestial List, or else raised a large army without resorting to conspiracies and secretly joining hands with various princes. After all, isn’t it due to his lack of strength?

On the other hand, the Divine Master Duran of the Celestial Witchcraft Sect, although his strength might not surpass mine greatly, he has six Divine Envoys and five Spirit Pets.

Among them, four have reached the Unity Realm, each with unique abilities, truly difficult to deal with.

Let him reign for a while, no need for confrontation for now.

"In that case, I am reassured."

Ji Changlie watched as "Uncle Tonx’s" figure dissipated directly into the air, leaving only a faint cold, setting his mind at ease.

This game of chess continues, let’s see who will laugh last.

Listening to the slight pause of the water sound.

Ji Changlie removed his yellow robe, activated his Zen skill, and his body seemed to be on fire.

Today, there is a delicious meal, let’s not bother about worldly matters for now.

...

"Elder Mingyu, the news of my sister’s marriage has surely reached Xingqing Prefecture, our Extreme Yin Sect has made every effort to promote this, with the elder’s personal involvement, it will surely dispel Beizhou’s suspicions..."

Ji Xuanhe in a dark robe and jade crown, displaying an elegant demeanor, folded his fan closed with a sardonic smile at the corner of his mouth: "As for my sister, she still harbors an illusory hope, struggling for her own marriage.

Little does she know that she has become bait, how could Father change his mind for the sake of greater ambitions?"

"The Saint Heir is happy to see this come to fruition, do you truly believe the Prince’s plan will succeed? Plotting with the tiger, beware of being devoured one day, leaving not even bones behind."

Elder Mingyu’s name sounded pleasant, yet his appearance was anything but.

Sitting there, his robe was crawling with pitch-black bugs, scuttling in and out, densely packed, and if one listened closely, one could hear a faint buzzing as the black aura rose from his body, corroding the air.

It’s unclear what material his black robe was made of, that it was not corroded to pieces.

"Whether we will be devoured with nothing left, I don’t know, but what I do know is that Chen Ping has no choice but to take action this time... diving headlong into the grave prepared for him.

He might think he’s the hope of three hundred thousand citizens, or that he’s my sister’s destined lover, but he couldn’t imagine that many are waiting for him here."

Upon saying this, Ji Xuanhe furrowed his brow, tapping his fingers on the table, pondering: "Those from the Wind and Cloud Pavilion came aggressively, just to kill, there’s no need to bother for now, but the experts from the Celestial Witchcraft Sect might covet the Azure Dragon Seal. Regardless of the situation, the two elders, once Chen Ping dies, ensure the Azure Dragon Seal doesn’t fall into the hands of others, it’s crucial to retrieve it, as it pertains to our sect’s grand plan, negligence is not an option."

"Saint Heir, rest assured, the Sect Leader will be heading south soon, how dare we be careless? No matter what, the Azure Dragon Seal must be retrieved for you. As for your father, let him enjoy the moment, there’s no rush to take action."

"Very well then, I wish the two elders a smooth journey, and if Xiaowang succeeds in the future, the Extreme Yin Sect will become the national religion, flourishing throughout the world."

"Naturally, being one of our own, who else would we support?"

Elder Mingyu and Elder Xuan Bing both smiled simultaneously, their figures fluttering, they swept up a breeze, and disappeared from the pavilion.

...

In the quiet chamber in the left wing of the Prince’s Mansion’s backyard, Hua Lian’er (Ji Mingyue) woke up drenched in sweat.

She had just melded with Heaven and Earth, like bright moonlight, hiding behind the tall drooping willows, listening clearly to the conversation between Ji Xuanhe and the two elders.

Her heart was already in turmoil.

At this moment, how could she not know that not only her own mother and Martial Uncle Changfeng were trapped in the crisis with thousands of others,

but also Chen Ping had already dispatched troops from Xingqing Prefecture, coming to the rescue.

Meanwhile, the two elders from the Extreme Yin Sect were making their way there, alongside the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, Celestial Witchcraft Sect, and others, preparing for an ambush.

This trap involving three hundred thousand citizens and the marriage promise from her father, all aimed to take Seventh Brother’s life, perhaps even including the Azure Dragon Seal.

"No, my Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword had already broken through the Innate, achieving a heart as clear as the bright moon, observing everything within a hundred feet of the mansion except for where Father resides, where a vast Qi mechanism obstructs any view...

Furthermore, using my heart as the Celestial Heart, with the moon shining bright, not only does it increase my cultivation but also refines the mind, one should become clearer the more one practices. Yet, why lately do I feel drowsy, so lethargic? Where exactly has the problem arisen?"

At this moment, Ji Mingyue heard footsteps approaching.

It was her personal maids Ziyan and Moxiang bringing over the meal.

Despite being anxious at heart and wanting to leave the Prince’s Mansion unnoticed to rush to Ling Mountain Prefecture to report the news... she calmed her mind, setting aside her urgency.

There was something she wanted to see clearly.

...

Moon ticket please.
