My Cultivation Starting from Archery
Chapter 184: The Human World Guardian, Longqing Goes to Nan Xu_4
"This, for you?"
Having recovered, Ning Xiang brought over a brand-new flying sword.
"Keep your own spoils,"
Chen Sansi said casually.
"Really?"
Without being too polite, Ning Xiang stepped forward to massage his shoulders, "How about that, after this trip, mistress and the general are pretty much comrades in life and death."
Chen Sansi didn't speak, his hands fiddling with a spiritual pearl that contained a spirit vein.
This thing...
It was equivalent to a first-rank mid-grade spirit vein.
He just didn't know if it could be used.
He was somewhat worried that it might have other uses, and using it for cultivation could affect its future effect.
Better to wait until the master returns to discuss it.
That night.
At dusk.
The sea was dyed red under the afterglow of the setting sun.
At the port's dock, everything was as it had been before.
Fishermen counted their catch.
Soldiers checked everyone thoroughly, anyone who tried to secretly take away treasure fish, spirit fish, or hadn't gathered enough mandated quotas would be beaten lightly and forced back into the sea, or at worst, sent directly to the army.
Under the revival of the spirit vein, this sea area...
Who knows how many treasure fish, how many treasure medicines, and exotic beasts the mountains would give birth to.
Not long after...
Nan Xu's overall strength was likely to greatly increase.
This was probably also Nan Xu's chance.
Why did the spirit vein revive inside their territory?
"Nanling Town is under martial law,"
Ning Xiang went to investigate the situation and quickly came back, "Nan Xu's one hundred thousand troops have set up camp nearby, encircling the area so tightly, nothing gets through, and everywhere there are wanted orders by Supervisor Sun, their Martial Saints like Zhong Hu have also arrived."
Another hundred thousand?
Xu, Sheng, Qi, and Qing, being major nations, could mobilize over two million troops each with sufficient provisions, which was within expectations.
As for the master's wanted order...
It must've been notified by cultivators.
How to leave this place and then return to Dasheng without any obstacles had become the primary problem.
At this moment in Nanling Town.
Not only were ordinary people unable to leave, but cultivators also had to go through strict inspections.
Most crucially...
None of the cultivators even wanted to leave this place.
After all...
Many cultivators from Daze Fang City were fighting in the mountains and seas, aiming to capture spiritual beasts and spirit fish to exchange for spirit stones. Going back to the workshop city was reasonable, but anyone heading in the opposite direction would be entering Da Xu, then Dasheng, which is a mundane world, and not a single person intended to go to the mundane world.
Chen Sansi and his group had no choice but to temporarily stay at an inn. Fortunately, Lai Zi had made an appearance here earlier, and the innkeeper vouched for him as a seeker of immortals, so the cultivators did not cause too much trouble.
Even so, they were required to stay until Sun Xiangzong's whereabouts were discovered, and no one was allowed to leave.
...
Dasheng.
Capital City.
Since the chaos at Ziwei Mountain, three months after the imperial return to the capital, the Crown Prince passed away in Xining Palace, all his offspring left the Capital City for remote fiefs.
Princes Qin and Qi were unscathed in the chaos and formally began to participate in state affairs.
Only they knew...
It was their eldest brother who had not struck the fatal blow.
"Born from the same root; why be so eager to annihilate each other?"
After saying these words, the Crown Prince left in their presence.
Born from the same root; why be so eager to annihilate each other.
Well said indeed.
No wonder the eldest brother failed.
He was too merciful!
Princes Qin and Qi were brimming with vigor.
But once the dust settled, the Sixth Prince ended a decade-long confinement and returned to court immediately, quickly gathering a large following of old officials and supporters, with Old Twelve assisting him from behind, creating a formidable presence.
As for His Majesty the Emperor...
Since returning, he had been intermittently secluding himself for cultivation, stronger than ever before.
Longevity Palace.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, there's a big issue!"
"..."
"Stop!"
The Chamberlain eunuch Huang Hong stopped the messenger and took the letter himself to deliver it into the main hall.
Behind the curtain...
Emperor Longqing spoke in a deep voice, "Read it; have we found that Zhang Lai?"
After his return to the capital, he summarized information from multiple sources.
The more carefully he calculated, the more clear it became.
This Zhang Lai was playing both sides.
First, he got benefits from the Incense Fire Divine Sect.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos at Ziwei Palace, he took the Grand Ancestor Relics.
Those were the possessions of his Cao Family!
Among them definitely lied the magic skill to enter the Immortal Realm; how could he tolerate it falling into the hands of others.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Lai is still being searched for, no news yet, this document..."
Huang Hong's voice trembled slightly, "is about the whereabouts of Supervisor Sun."
"Him?"
The Emperor said impassively, "Tell me, where has he been hiding these past years?"
"Supervisor Sun, he's at the ends of the earth..."
Huang Hong paused, then relayed the information precisely.
"What did you say?"
The curtain was lifted.
Emperor Longqing came down from the high platform, clenching his horsetail whisk, digesting the information, "The ends of the earth is in Nan Xu... the opening that occurs every fifty years just happened recently, Sun Xiangzong destroyed the spirit vein..."
"Your Majesty."
Huang Hong continued, "According to the cultivators from Nanling Town, Supervisor Sun did indeed single-handedly destroy the spirit vein, killing many cultivators. His level in the Martial Arts Realm is now unfathomable. If he..."
Emperor Longqing looked towards the Dragon Abyss Sword behind the curtain, his breathing momentarily disordered then returning to calm, he said nonchalantly, "He is my brother, and now he doesn't have much time left, no need to be overly suspicious."
"Where is he now?"
"Still at the ends of the earth."
Huang Hong replied, "There is a large force of immortals planning to kill him, and Nan Xu has also dispatched a hundred thousand troops there."
"Think of a way for me."
