Under the suppression of Song Jiao's "Coldness of Yi River", Li Guanshu was only able to mobilize his Spiritual Qi to Level 5 of Qi-refining, not to mention every time he mobilized his Spiritual Qi, he would hurt himself, so Li Guanshu's strength had dropped significantly.
While after the last fight, Li Ye had made it clear how much the three green lotuses had improved his cultivation. The current, Li Ye had no pressure to fight against the cultivators whose cultivations were one level higher than his own. Instead, he relied on the combination of his Dragon Qi, the green lotuses, the Luke Sword, and the cultivation methods for "Purple Clouds from the East".
If his opponent lacked in good magic treasures or cultivation methods, he could crush them easily. With his current cultivation at a Level 4 of Qi-refining, when faced with a master of Level 6 Qi-refining, he wouldn't be able to win, fortunately, he could retreat safely.
Therefore, when h
Suddenly, Shangguan Qingcheng had a bad feeling and she wanted to retreat. Unfortunately, it was too late since Li Jing'an's attendant had already been standing behind her. Here she was on a mountain road with hundreds of stone steps. One side, a rocky cliff, and the other side, a wooded escarpment of unknown height. Shangguan Qingcheng started down from the mountain and was blocked by Li Jing'an. The woman attendant jumped up behind her and completely cut off her retreat. This scene surprised Shangguan Qingcheng and her look darkened. She stared at Li Jing'an who stood, smiling in front of her. "What do you mean, Childe Li?" The light here was not bright, but it did provide minimal visibility. Among the dense branches and leaves of the old trees, there were fragments of brilliance that fell from time to time. These were from the movements of Nangong Diyi as he continued fighting with others. Li Jing'an gently sho
The man came through the crushed leaves, with his back against the full moon, and his robe billowing around him like wings. When they could see the man's face, everyone standing on the stone steps opened their eyes in awe and surprise. It was like they were seeing rivers flow backward as if time were moving in reverse. In fact, they were so shocked their mouths dropped open. They stood there speechless for a while. There had been too much speculation about the man's identity. Nangong Diyi, Xu Qingfeng, some unknown Jianghu master, or even Li Guanshu... they were all possibilities. Had one of these people shown up they would have been shocked, but they would not have been left speechless. The man that had jumped up into the air and wielded his sword from the full moon, had looked like an immortal from the Moon Palace. The light of his sword had been so dazzling and its power so horrible, how could this possibly be that person?
When Li Ye chopped down with the knife, Wu You and the other's eyes opened wide. Seeing the cold blade begin to slice down, Li Jing'an screamed like a pig. "Prince An, please spare my life!" The blade went into Li Jing'an's body, leaving a gaping bloody wound. The power of the knife forced Li Jing'an to fall from the treetop, landing face down on the ground. His whole body trembled like a fish out of water and he breathed heavily. He had been seriously injured. A scream rose from the dense forest, Li Jing'an's woman attendant rushed to Li Ye like she was possessed, she ignored the blood coming from her mouth and her scarlet eyes. "I'm going to kill you!" The woman put her fingers together and made them into a sword. All of her Spiritual Qi burst out and her entire body became a sharp weapon. "Since you are looking for death, I will help you." Li Ye snorted. "When you do something wrong,
Afterward, Li Ye and the others had known that the Taoist sect in Zhongnan Mountain had been aware of Nangong Diyi's appearing in Niushou Mountain and destroying Sanqingguan with three swords, so masters had been sent as they worried about the pond of green lotuses. Nangong Diyi had been under siege for a long time. "Greetings, Your Highness Prince An." Nangong Diyi retrieved his sword as he saw Li Ye. He came forward to salute Li Ye, while he cupped his hands to the others. And then he began to pour out his grievances. "Li Guanshu, that asshole, told me that the Taoist priests in Sanqingguan had arrested the youths of the Imperial Clan who participated in the examination in Niushou Mountain and that they had the intention of rebellion. He wanted me to cooperate with him to rescue you." Nangong Diyi spat out a mouthful of blood and continued, "Originally, it was not a big deal. How would they not be frightened to death as they saw me? However, once I had
In an antique living room with elegant decorations and no luxuries, Wang Duo, the Prime-Minister, was having tea with someone. The Tea Master boiling tea nearby was not a graceful lady, but an old servant. The middle-aged man sitting opposite Wang Duo was in his early forties and had a decent manner. He had the martial spirit of a general and the elegant style of a Confucian. This was Gao Pian, a famous General of the Right Guards in the empire. He and Li Xian both were the most respectful Generals in the empire. "In this way, did Li Guanshu shoot himself in the foot?" Gao Pian took a sip of tea and chuckled. Wang Duo looked particularly happy. "It was more than shooting himself in the foot. It was like digging a grave for himself." Gao Pian's gaze was deep. "But at first, he didn't intend to dig the grave for himself." Wang Duo put down the tea bowl and sighed. "Duke Xing had an unsolvable feud with Prince An and
Lu Yan shook his head and he was confused. "If Li Guanshu did not die in Xu Qingfeng's hands, then he could only die in the hands of the Taoist disciples of Zhongnan Mountain. Perhaps not all the Taoist disciples of Zhongnan Mountain had besieged Nangong Diyi. Some of them killed Li Guanshu after Xu Qingfeng and more than a dozen disciples of Sanqingguan were killed by Li Guanshu." "All these are speculations! I want the truth!" Wei Baoheng was furious. "None of those youths of the Imperial Clan know the inside story?" Lu Yan replied, "When Grand Prince Gong's Heir Apparent returned, he was seriously injured and his attendant disappeared. Perhaps they knew something, but they said nothing about Niushou Mountain after they returned." Wei Baoheng waved his hand. "Pressure them! Especially Grand Prince Gong and Duchess of Li, their attendants have the highest cultivation among the youths of the Imperial Clan. I don't believe that one of the mas
In the afternoon, it rained heavily. A richly decorated carriage, coming from the heavy rain, entered the Prince An's Manor. Li Ye was waiting at the place where the carriage was parked. When the carriage stopped, he took the umbrella from the servant and went into the rain to hold an umbrella for the people who got out of the carriage. "Elder Brother Ye, why did you open an umbrella?" It was Prince Pu, Li Yan, who stepped out of the carriage. He looked up at the edge of the umbrella. "It's raining. Of course, we need an umbrella." Li Ye smiled and ushered Li Yan into the veranda. Then he took the umbrella and handed it back to the servant. Li Yan cleaned the sporadic drops of water on his sleeves and sniffed at Li Ye's behavior. "If we still need an umbrella when it rains, what's the use of our cultivations?" Li Ye smiled and said nothing, just pulling Li Yan into the house. He now had
Saying that, he looked at Li Ye. "I wonder if Vice Magistrate likes this Green Ant wine." Li Ye smiled and said, "Why I don't think this wine is a strong alcoholic?" The man blinked curiously. "Doesn't my tongue work?" Li Ye said, "I'm afraid you're drunk. A drunk person will naturally say the wine is a strong alcoholic." The man laughed. "It would be a shame if I'm drunk due to the non-alcoholic drinks." Saying that, he raised the wine pot to Li Ye. "No matter it's a strong alcoholic or not, I use this wine to congratulate Your Highness for taking up the post of the vice magistrate of Chang'an Office." With that, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine pot. He drank heroically, but the wine wasn't spilled at all, which showed that he didn't pretend to be heroic. Li Ye liked people who loved wine because he himself was such a person. People were always fond of people with
