Chapter 80: Chapter 63: The Death of King Yan

For example, Zhao Suling.

Consort Duann Xu Qingluan!

With the advantage of gunpowder, by then even if Fire Spirit personally comes, he won’t be able to retreat unscathed!

“Blood Moon Gu…”

Elder Celestial Master Zhao scratched his head and said, “Why do I need so many Blood Moon Gus… to play with crickets?”

“Forget it, forget it, I’ll write to a few old friends to ask.”

“But whether they go or not is not something I can control.”

Zheng Yi immediately said, “Thank you, Elder Celestial Master.”

“Whether this succeeds or not, I owe a debt of gratitude to you.”

“Whatever Taiyii Dao needs, I will agree to it.”

“Forget it, I still want some peace for a while~”

Zhao Xizheng shook his head, refusing Zheng Yi’s kindness.

“It’s getting late, Your Majesty, you should descend the mountain.”

Zheng Yi stood up, cupped his hands, and said, “Thus, I shall trouble you, Elder Celestial Master, and take my leave now.”

“No rush to leave~”

The Elder Celestial Master grinned mischievously and said, “Stay a few more days so I can study your Blood Moon Gu thoroughly.”

“If I guess correctly, this Gu cultivation technique should be a legacy of the Mayfly Sect.”

“I don’t know what method Your Majesty used to successfully refine it without even entering the Innate stage.”

“It’s just this insect is somewhat strange, I’ve never seen it before…”

“Insect?”

Zheng Yi immediately said, “This insect is the Moonlight Gu offered by the Baiyue Tribe.”

“Moonlight Gu, no wonder. The Yue people in Nanyue County were once dedicated insect servants for the disciples of the Mayfly Sect, and there are many good things in their tribe~”

The Elder Celestial Master said, “You used essence blood to refine the Moonlight Gu, damaging your constitution, thinning your vitality, and even with precious medicine, the deficiency cannot be compensated.”

“In the coming days, I’ll teach you some ways to nurture your health, which can also help you restore your vitality.”

Zheng Yi felt a movement in his heart and immediately said, “Thank you, Elder Celestial Master. In that case, I shall stay in Taiyii Dao for a few more days.”

In the following days, Zheng Yi stayed in Taiyii Dao to discuss the Dao with Elder Celestial Master Zhao Xizheng.

Don’t be fooled by Elder Celestial Master Zhao Xizheng’s unserious appearance; he has amazing insights into the path of the Dao.

He is especially skilled in the ways of nurturing one’s health and mind.

He even slightly explained his own cultivation technique, the “Vitality Purple Mist Technique” to Zheng Yi.

The “Vitality Purple Mist Technique,” a true cultivation method.

Every day at 3:00 AM, one wakes up and absorbs a wisp of purple qi from the morning sun as the sun rises in the east, using pure spiritual qi to surge and then refine it into magical power, storing it within oneself.

Unfortunately, according to Elder Zhao Xizheng, even the spiritual qi on Taizhong Mountain is now very scarce.

The purple qi he absorbs every day can only refine a wisp, barely better than nothing.

Even on Taizhong Mountain, it is so, let alone other places.

In the mortal world, it is difficult to generate spiritual qi.

Not to mention the capital city, where there is almost no spiritual qi; very few cultivators reside there.

However, despite this, Zheng Yi watched Zhao Xizheng write three letters and handed them over to the disciples of Taiyii Dao and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In groups of five, they escorted these three letters to various parts of Great Yu.

These three letters represent the hiding places of three cultivators!

In those days, Zheng Yi also asked a question.

In Taiyii Dao, besides Zhao Xizheng, are there any other cultivators?

“Other cultivators? Of course there are.”

Zhao Xizheng shrugged and said, “My ’Vitality Purple Mist Technique’ couldn’t possibly have its legacy broken, I’ve already found suitable disciples within Taiyii Dao to pass it on.”

But as to who they are, Zheng Yi couldn’t find out no matter what.

With no choice but to stay for half a month, he returned to the capital city.

After the main group descended from Taizhong Mountain, Zheng Yi encountered the Embroidered Uniform Guard who had been anxiously waiting for several days.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

The Embroidered Uniform Guard appeared very tense and immediately knelt to the ground upon seeing Zheng Yi.

“What is the matter?”

“Your Majesty…”

The Embroidered Uniform Guard held his breath and said word by word, “King Yan was assassinated by an assassin and passed away!”

“What?!”

Zheng Yi was shocked and immediately said, “Return to the palace with the fastest speed!”

“Yes!”

King Yan died?

Was it Chen Liancang and Xiaogui’s doing?

Does this mean… King Yan indeed harbored rebellion intent!

This matter must be clarified with Chen Liancang and the others!

…

Time goes back a month.

Yan City.

This was the residence of King Yan and also the residence of the Northern Territory Youzhou.

As dawn broke, the gates of Yan City opened wide, and seven figures slipped into the crowd like fish, infiltrating Youzhou.

Their travel documents had no issues; the city gate officer on duty paid no attention.

After entering the city, the seven people swiftly gathered at the Yuelai Inn in the northern part of the city.

“Your humble servant greets Eunuch Gui and Lord Ding!”

Eunuch Gui, Xiaogui.

Lord Ding is an Embroidered Uniform Guard commander named Ding Chang, a second-grade martial artist.

As an old acquaintance of Eunuch Gui, he was specially transferred for this mission.

“I don’t want to say more than necessary. Just remember, once this mission is accomplished, you will become members of the Eastern Depot!”

“Wealth, gold, beautiful women, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you, understood?”

“Yes!”

“We pledge our utmost efforts!”

Four people knelt immediately, showing their loyalty.

“Very well, Lord Ding, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Eunuch Gui patted Ding Chang on the shoulder, and Ding Chang immediately straightened up.

“Everyone, this mission is to investigate King Yan’s rebellion!”

As soon as the words fell, the four people’s expressions changed, but soon turned into joy.

A vassal king’s rebellion!

This is a major case.

Once confirmed, the rewards are sure to be substantial.

Wealth and riches will be within reach!

They immediately said with excitement, “Ding Tou, just give the orders, brothers are all ears!”
