I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

"This sky is a prison..."

Xie Yuan recited it silently, and seemed to feel the emotion more deeply.

Especially when thinking about the life of that leader, Xie Yuan seemed to be thinking deeply.

After escaping from this prison-like kingdom after going through hardships and huge sacrifices, overthrowing the enemy many years later, and then seeing the palm-sized hometown from the outside world, entering here and leaving behind relics, must have been a mixture of emotions.

But why would he leave something here again?

Xie Yuan was a little puzzled, but he saw Yun Xing had already bowed three times at the door, muttering something, and then making strange gestures.

The gesture seemed to be drawing a triangle in front of the body, and then the two arms began to swing gently, like a graceful dance, showing the shape of flames.

With Yun Xing's charming makeup, beautiful face and slim figure, although it looks eye-catching, it also gives people a sense of simplicity, strangeness and desolation, which makes people involuntarily feel a little solemn and it is difficult to have other thoughts.

After the short dance, a light suddenly appeared on the ordinary stone door, and then it opened silently.

Seeing this, Yun Xing's eyes sparkled and he said excitedly:
"It's open, it's open!"

Xie Yuan looked at her and said:
"Don't you know whether it can be opened or not?"

"It's been so many years, who knows if the posture is still correct?"

Yun Xing laughed, then walked inside happily, muttering:
"I've done something great now. Those two little bitches definitely can't beat me!"

Xie Yuan's expression was a little subtle. The competition for the Saint Lady seemed to be quite fierce. But in her mouth, it sounded like a palace fight.
Xie Yuan watched Yun Xing's graceful back as she walked into the darkness of the stone gate and then disappeared. There seemed to be an invisible boundary between the inside and outside of the stone gate. The outside could still let in some light from outside the cave, but inside was pure darkness.

He looked at the dark interior, paused, and then stepped in.

After entering the stone gate, Xie Yuan felt the scene in front of him suddenly become brighter.

In front of me was a simple cave with bare walls. Apart from being clean, there was nothing else to praise about it.

Xie Yuan was a little surprised. Is this the cave left by the legendary leader of the Kitchen God Sect? It looked like it was quite troublesome to enter, and there was a plaque with inscriptions on it. How come there was nothing inside?

Xie Yuan looked around, and indeed there was nothing...

and many more!

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

There is clearly nothing here, where does such light come from?
Like a study with candles lit.

Xie Yuan looked around carefully and found that there was nothing there, no hidden candles or night-shining pearls or anything like that. He couldn't see where the light came from and was very surprised.

Sure enough, there are still some strange things.

Xie Yuan took another step into the cave, wanting to see more clearly, but suddenly stopped.

I feel like I forgot something...

He frowned and thought, always feeling that his thinking was a little slow after stepping into the darkness behind the door, as if he had missed something.

It doesn't seem like it's a big deal.

Xie Yuan shook his head and continued to look at the cave carefully.

There was nothing at first glance, but he didn't believe that there was nothing strange here, so he moved closer to the wall of the cave to take a closer look.

After lying on the wall and looking carefully for a long time, Xie Yuan opened his eyes and felt that there seemed to be something through the wall!
A discovery has been made!

It was just that his shadow made the wall dim, and no matter how he adjusted the angle he couldn't see clearly. Xie Yuan changed his position several times, but he could still only observe the wall in the shadow, and he couldn't help but frown.

How can there be a shadow?
Xie Yuan looked back and saw that the cave was indeed empty, but how could there be a shadow on the wall?

His expression changed and he slowly walked to the middle of the cave.

Logically, there should be a lamp here, or a candle.

Xie Yuan turned around and looked at his own magnified, twisted and jumping shadow on the wall. He moved his body, adjusted his direction several times, and observed again before nodding slightly.

Then he turned his head and looked forward, slowly reaching out his hand, trying to touch where the light source should be.

"hiss!"

Xie Yuan suddenly retracted his hand, feeling as if he was burned by something hot. His fingers quickly turned red, and then a blister appeared that was visible to the naked eye.

Xie Yuan was a little surprised. He was a practitioner at the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation, and his main skill was the Golden Bell Cover. His body was no longer afraid of ordinary cold or heat. Even though his power was suppressed at this time, his physique was there, and ordinary flames would never burn him and cause blisters.

He keenly discovered that his shadow seemed to jump, and then the vision in front of him changed.

A dim shadow less than a foot long slowly appeared in the middle of the open space, and then a clear shape slowly emerged, which was a black candle like a burnt branch.

The strange candle appeared, and then the surroundings suddenly became bright, as if you were in a brightly lit hall or outdoors in the morning sun. It was definitely not the effect of a single candle.

Xie Yuan looked around and found that the walls seemed to be a little white under the light of the candle, and then they became whiter and whiter, and even became a little transparent.

He glanced at the illuminated wall, then looked back at the candle, feeling that the candlelight even stung his eyes.

"What a bright candle."

Xie Yuan muttered silently, looking up and down at the black candle branch, and then he was involuntarily attracted by the bright candlelight, as if there was some rare magic hidden there.

He forced his eyes open and looked hard, and then he actually saw something, as if there was a figure swaying inside.

Xie Yuan opened his eyes even wider, then moved closer cautiously, looking closely at the bright flame, and slowly, slowly he could see the shadow in the flame clearly.

His eyes suddenly fixed.

He was very familiar with the shadow in the light.

This person was wearing a tight white robe and had a slim figure. She was a youthful woman.

It turned out to be Yunxing.

Xie Yuan suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something. Yun Xing came in before him, but he didn't see her figure at all!

He didn't know how he could have overlooked such a big living person, but when he saw the figure in the flames, he suddenly remembered!
Xie Yuan was startled and almost put his face close to the flames, but he saw Yun Xing's figure clearly, crouching in the center of the flames, with her beautiful curves visible from behind.

However, her figure could not be seen clearly, but her posture seemed a little impetuous.

"Yun Xing, Yun Xing... Witch! Emissary?"

Xie Yuan tried calling a few times, but found no response.

He suddenly changed direction and could see Yun Xing's front side clearly.

However, before he had time to look at Yun Xing's expression, the thing in front of her attracted his attention first.

In front of Yunxing, there was a candle that looked like a black branch.

Xie Yuan was a little stunned. He looked around and found that Yun Xing was also staring at the candle flame, her red lips moving, as if she was shouting something.

He used all his eyesight and looked hard, and found that there was probably a shadow inside the candle in front of Yunxing.

Somewhat like myself.

Xie Yuan's figure froze for a moment. He saw clearly that his own figure was also reflected in the flame of the candle in front of Yun Xing.

He suddenly turned around and saw the transparent wall clearly, and his eyes froze instantly.

There is something outside the wall.

A blurry and distorted giant face was revealed in the light flowing and steaming outside the wall.

Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I could still feel that she had beautiful features.

What’s more important is that the thick purple eye shadow covered such a large area that Xie Yuan could see it clearly even through the flames.

What the hell.

Xie Yuan was startled and stood up suddenly, staring at the candle in front of him.

This candle is holding both him and Yunxing?

Outside too? Inside too?
Is this candle an infinite cage?

Xie Yuan's expression changed constantly. He looked around again, then looked up. Only then did he realize that this empty cave seemed to be in the shape of a flame.

He was really locked up.

Xie Yuan frowned. After he understood the truth here, he realized belatedly that the door was gone.

How to do?
He looked at the candle and thought about taking it away or extinguishing it.

However, in the current situation, he was worried that if he acted rashly, something unexpected would happen.

Is this the Black Book?

Xie Yuan thought of what Yun Xing had said before, that the treasure the leader left here was a page of the Black Book.

His expression changed slightly. If it was the Black Book, there might be a way.

Xie Yuan originally wanted to take out the two petals of Bagua Lotus from his arm directly, but when he looked at the figure in the flames, he realized that although Yun Xing had also seen through the situation here and was jumping around in fear, he could not guarantee that she could still see it.

So Xie Yuan just supported his arm, and then with a thought, he slightly activated the Bagua Lotus.

His arm began to heat up, and the candle in front of him seemed to tremble, the flame suddenly swinging wildly, causing the surrounding walls to flicker and seem to be constantly changing shape.

Then Xie Yuan saw the candle flame suddenly go out, and everything in front of him went dark, and he could not see anything.

After a moment, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Xie Yuan saw a shadow on the wall as if illuminated by a spotlight, and someone was holding a knife and waving it continuously.

This sword technique is extremely exquisite. Even just a shadow can show great power. The sword moves are always swung from unexpected but most lethal directions.

Xie Yuan was watching with great interest when the shadow suddenly changed and picked up the double maces again.

This is an unpopular weapon, and Xie Yuan rarely sees anyone using it.

But the figure in front of him was obviously the master among them, and every move he displayed was of extremely advanced level.

Xie Yuan was just about to have his eyes opened when the figure changed again and became a man holding a gun.

Xie Yuan blinked, feeling that the change of the figure was too abrupt, like a play that was only halfway through but then switched to the second half.

After that, every time Xie Yuan watched a few moves, the human figures kept changing and it was extremely chaotic. Not only that, more and more human figures gradually appeared on the wall, gradually covering the entire wall!
No one knew how high this wall was, how deep it was, how far to the left or the right. It seemed to be an endless wall that connected the sky to the earth, but it was filled with candlelight figures that kept extending and appearing. Gradually, countless figures were demonstrating various weapons and skills at the same time, as if all the martial arts masters from ancient times to the present were illuminated on this wall.

This is almost a treasure trove of martial arts, but Xie Yuan feels that the figures here are very chaotic, with moves coming out randomly, changing moves and weapons from time to time. Not only can you not look closely, but looking at it for too long may lead to obsession.

Xie Yuan frowned, feeling that this shouldn't be the case. He clearly had so many skills but couldn't harvest them. It was like entering a mountain of treasures but had to come out empty-handed, making him scratch his head.

Xie Yuan was getting anxious when he suddenly felt a heat on his arm again. The lotus-petal-like tattoo seemed to flow like a living thing, glowing dimly.

Xie Yuan's eyes blurred, and he suddenly realized that the figures on the wall in front of him seemed to have adjusted their order. The movements of the figures in each light circle became smooth and unified, and no longer changed constantly.

"The Black Books in the world are one family."

Xie Yuan suddenly realized something and immediately became alert.

However, among these countless skills, Xie Yuan could not understand even one of them even if he spent his entire life. Just a glance made him almost dizzy, so how could he know what to look at?
He was just pondering when he suddenly felt his arms getting warm again, and a feeling of blessing and good luck came to him.

The figures on the wall changed, and in an instant ninety-nine percent of them disappeared, leaving only a few in sight.

One of them was a figure holding a gun. Xie Yuan took a look and was in awe because he recognized who that figure was.

Even though it was just a silhouette, that figure was majestic, looking down on the world, with his gun pointed to the sky. He was invincible in his lifetime, and there was no one else to think of except the ancestor Xie An.

If you are invincible, then fight against the sky.

The figure kept swinging the gun like the preacher in "Burning Heaven and Eliminating Dao Gun", which was the first move - Peace on Earth.

However, this figure was more three-dimensional and the movements were clearer. Instead of allowing him to perceive it, it was actually displayed in front of Xie Yuan.

"So this is how peace on earth should be used..."

Xie Yuan opened his eyes wide, looking at the gun shadows all over the sky, and gradually had a new understanding.

The spear technique would not be demonstrated again after being used once, but Xie Yuan felt that this one time was better than watching it a hundred times or practicing it a thousand times, and he gained a lot.

Then the figure changed, and a somewhat hunched figure appeared. The figure carried a backpack and an axe, chopping trees one by one.

Xie Yuan didn't recognize the figure, but he did recognize many of the tree species... the old iron tree, the Chinese toon, the camphor tree, the nanmu tree...

Watching the figure chopping down tree after tree, and then chopping and chopping the trees into firewood, Xie Yuan felt his mind calm and his body relaxed, as if he could watch forever.

Fortunately, he knew in his heart that even though the time here seemed to be different, it was impossible for him to watch people chopping down trees endlessly.

Xie Yuan felt his mind moving and his spirit seemed to be a little tired, so he blinked, and the figure in front of him changed again.

Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and found that he had seen this figure again, but just now.

When he was looking at the plaque at the entrance of the cave, he suddenly saw the desolate figure who wrote the plaque. It was this person.

The legendary leader of the Kitchen God Cult?
Xie Yuan nodded slightly, looking at the figure, and suddenly felt that this figure seemed a little different from the others.

Some are new, some are different from the surroundings... as if they were added to this wall later.

Xie Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and then he ignored everything else and looked at the figure with interest.

Because the figure was holding an ancient axe.

He stood on the top of the mountain, quietly, and also looked up at the sky.

Then, he held the axe handle with both hands, fell to the ground upside down, slowly accumulated strength, and then suddenly swung it up into the sky!

A ray of light that was condensed to the extreme burst out, its brightness even brighter than the sun, as if it was going to split the sky apart.

Xie Yuan just felt that his breathing was not smooth, as if he had seen something extraordinary, and his heart was pounding.

The shadows in front of him were now extinguished. He was breathing heavily, as if he had just been through a great battle. He was extremely tired and could barely stand steadily.

The light returned to the cave, and the candle that looked like a black branch appeared in the middle of the ground, burning quietly.

Xie Yuan and the fire-bearing envoy Yunxing stood side by side at the door, both with their eyes fixed straight ahead.

However, Xie Yuan's focus was already on the empty space in front of him, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to anything else.

[Black Book: (1/2000)]

[Heaven-Burning Spear - First Style - Peace on Earth - Proficiency: (478/3000)]

[Chopping wood: (63617/100000)]

[You have chopped 50,000 pieces of wood, watched predecessors swing axes, and mastered the axe technique 'Heaven-breaking Style'. ]

[You have mastered both the Sky-breaking Style and the Sweeping Thousands of Troops Style, and learned the axe skill 'Sweeping Thousands of Troops'. ]

Xie Yuan felt that the numbers in front of him kept jumping and increasing, the subtitles kept changing, and a lot of knowledge and insights kept pouring into his mind. His body was even more familiar with such changes, and he gained the corresponding level of ability, which turned into instinct.

After a long while, Xie Yuan blinked, as if his spirit had returned to the earth from heaven.

“Black Heavenly Book! It’s true that when I first encountered the new Black Heavenly Book, I made a breakthrough and gained some understanding.

"The Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear has directly advanced to the next realm!"

Xie Yuan was so excited that his eyes almost filled with tears.

The Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear was the most difficult martial art he had ever practiced. Even with the help of a panel that only allowed him to move forward and never fail, he still made very slow progress in practicing it. It took him a lot of effort to master the first move alone.

Although considering his realm of cultivation and the time he had spent in contact with it, even the master of the Xie family would be astonished.

But Xie Yuan roughly estimated that it would take too much time for him to master such a peerless martial art.

However, looking at the Black Book now, his peerless spearmanship naturally advanced to the first level and reached the level of proficiency, and he could now point to the areas where he didn't understand.

With his proficiency in wielding the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, he could already unleash unimaginable power in actual combat. It would be difficult for enemies of the same level to withstand a few of his shots.

Another big gain was that his proficiency in chopping wood increased by as much as 30,000!

Although Xie Yuan always had the habit of chopping some firewood to relax in his free time, when he was at the Xie family, he even directly contracted all the firewood in the firewood room in the courtyard. Yunzhu and other servants could not persuade him and just thought it was the young master's quirk.

But although the accumulation over time is considerable, it is still too difficult and takes too long to increase the progress by 30,000.

After all, Xie Yuan now needs too much time to practice, and chopping wood can only be a habit, and it is difficult to do it from morning to night.

Thirty thousand saved almost three years of effort. Sixty thousand, if I could do it again, I would almost break through.

Xie Yuan really didn't expect that concentrating on watching the chopping of wood could bring him such gains. This time, the huge progress of chopping wood has been halfway completed, and he has even comprehended new axe skills.

"Heaven-breaking Style? Is that the axe the leader used?"

Xie Yuan recalled the figure's movements and felt that the axe was indeed powerful, as if it could cut through the sky, which was heart-pounding.

The axe technique has great lethality. Although it is only one move, it is just right as a killing move. This Heaven Breaking Style is combined with the wood splitting style. There is no proficiency, but Xie Yuan has already mastered it completely, just like three axes, sweeping away thousands of troops.

Although he did not use it, he knew that its power would not be as strong as that of the leader who could break the sky and chop the mountains, but that was not a problem with the axe technique, but a lack of skill.

If Xie Yuan could reach that level one day, maybe he could really break the sky.

But even now, Xie Yuan could vaguely feel that the power of this killing move was even greater than that of sweeping away thousands of troops!

Especially the two axe skills, I don’t know if they are from the same range of 100,000 chopping wood, but they can actually form a blood-boiling combination skill.

The sky-breaking style is a vertical slash, and the sweeping style is a horizontal slash.

Although the energy can be used in a different posture if the right energy is used, the original form can exert the greatest power. Because of the force and the flow of energy, the vertical chop is much weaker than the horizontal chop in terms of sweeping away thousands of enemies.

But now the vertical slash has also been supplemented with a new axe technique, and the two combined form a stronger axe skill - Breaking Thousands of Enemies.

The move to break the thousands of troops was a cross slash. When Xie Yuan used this move, the cross axe light covered most of the space in front of him, and it was no longer so easy to dodge.

Even if she was facing a strong enemy with strong body movements, such as the fire-bearing master next to her, if she wanted to dodge Xie Yuan's Breaking Thousands of Troops, she would have to spend more time and be careful. If she didn't check and was suddenly used by Xie Yuan, she would probably have to take it head-on.

With faster speed, wider range and greater power, Breaking Thousands of Troops is Xie Yuan's fully upgraded killer move. It is no longer like Sweeping Thousands of Troops, which can only exert its power when the chance of hitting is extremely high. Its applicability is much wider.

Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a deep sense of joy in his heart.

This harvest is really a pleasant surprise.

I didn’t expect to gain so much before coming here!
Between these two moves, his strength had improved a lot compared to before, and the improvement in his technique had made him even more intoxicated.

Xie Yuan looked at the side and wanted to say something, but found that Yun Xing still had his eyes wide open, as if he had not yet escaped from the candlelight cage.

Looking at the graceful figure standing there, his mind moved instantly.

A charming witch who had no reaction and allowed herself to be dealt with at will, her sweet fragrance drifted over and into Xie Yuan's nose.

So... should I keep her or not?
Xie Yuan's brain started working instantly.

There is no doubt that this evil woman is a person who kills without blinking an eye. Although we have not seen her kill many times, just looking at her killing the warrior named Pei, we can tell that human life is like an ant to her.

Listening to what she said, one could tell that she was a genuine cultist, a qualified emissary of the Kitchen God Cult, who was extremely indifferent to human life, as if all people in the world were nothing more than fuel to add to the fire.

If we kill her now, it would be considered as getting rid of a threat to the people.

However, Xie Yuan was a little hesitant.

Firstly, he had never seen her do evil with his own eyes, and there was perhaps a one in ten thousand chance that she was just a talker;
Secondly, and more importantly, Yun Xing just let him go, which could be considered as bringing him here to seek opportunities and gaining a lot.

Even if it was because of the person behind the scenes, Xie Yuan still accepted her favor.

If he were to kill him now while she was weak, even if he was a bad guy, Xie Yuan would feel a little uncomfortable.

While he was hesitating, Yun Xing suddenly moved, turned his head and looked at Xie Yuan, looked him up and down, staring at his changing expression.

She tilted her head slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile:

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman. You didn't even touch me, a delicate woman like me, waiting for you to pick me... You don't have any hidden illness, do you?"

Yunxing's eyes curved, and the purple eyeshadow made her look mysterious and charming.

Seeing that he had lost the opportunity, Xie Yuan felt inexplicably regretful, but also relieved that he didn't have to fight.

Forget it. When I can defeat her in the future, and see her doing evil, I will stop her in a fair manner. Today we are even.

And seeing her like this, it was hard to tell whether she was just pretending or not. This witch's mind was hard to figure out, and Xie Yuan was really confused.

He ignored Yunxing's teasing, turned to look at the candle in the middle, and fell into deep thought.

"What are you looking at? Brother Junzi, it's not yours, so don't look at it without permission."

Yun Xing smiled, walked towards the candle, picked it up, and then put it away with a flip of his palm. He didn't know where to put it, and he was not afraid of fire.

The Black Book...

Xie Yuan sighed, feeling a little reluctant.

This page obviously records all kinds of weapons. All the weapons that can be named, even those that have never been heard of or seen, have their skills recorded on them.

However, seeing Yun Xing looking at him with a half-smile, Xie Yuan had to put away his thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"You have achieved your goal, can you let us out now?"

"Look at what you said, it's like I locked you up. I'm not lying to you! The emperor did lock me up too."

Yun Xing said with a smile.

"But you must have a way out."

Xie Yuan said firmly.

Yun Xing smiled and said:

"If you hadn't found this place, it would be hard to say. Don't be so wary. Don't worry, I am the Fire Lord. I mean what I say. I will take you out and I will take you out. I never lie."

Xie Yuan watched her take out the long sword, looked at the dome of the cave, and murmured:
"This sky is a prison... The ancestor made some small arrangements for Wan Bing Zhu. What does he want future generations to understand?"

She closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, her eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and the long sword in her hand shone brightly, and suddenly slashed towards the dome!
With a loud bang, the dome exploded directly. Xie Yuan and Yun Xing used their blood and energy to protect themselves and were not injured by the rubble.

The mountains all rumbled and shook violently.

Xie Yuan felt it for a while and found that it was not just the mountains that were shaking, it seemed as if the whole world was shaking.

Even if the attack was powerful, it wouldn't be like this.

Xie Yuan thought that he had touched upon the mystery of this place and would be able to get out soon, and he felt refreshed.

However, Yunxing next to him didn't seem to think so.

She looked at the shaking mountain belly and her expression gradually changed.

"Something's wrong."

Yun Xing murmured:
"There seems to be something wrong with this kingdom in my palm."

Xie Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately asked:

"what is the problem?"

"It is said that if we break through this, the sky will open up and we can go out directly. But now the sky is broken, but instead of revealing an exit, the entire world seems to be broken. It seems that the sky is about to collapse."

Yun Xing frowned and finished speaking. Then, with a thud, a huge burning rock smashed through the belly of the mountain and landed in front of the two men, scaring them both.

Xie Yuan's brows trembled:

"You are a dignified Fire Envoy, yet you want to fight for the position of Saint. How could you be so unreliable?"

Yun Xing frowned:

"This emperor's methods are really endless. If this kingdom in his palm is so fragile, it will not be repaired. He must have taken away the key parts. I didn't check for a while and fell into the trap... It's not enough for him to trap me in, he wants everyone to be unable to get out!"

Yun Xing, who had been nonchalant all along, also showed an embarrassed and solemn look. It was obvious that the old emperor's arrangement made her deeply understand the mind and means of an emperor.

Xie Yuan cursed inwardly and looked up at the broken belly of the mountain. The sky above was covered with dark clouds, and from time to time, pieces of flaming meteorites fell down, as if the sky was collapsing at the end of the world.

We are in this world in our palm of our hands, and this is the end of the world. How can we deal with it?

Xie Yuan's mind raced, and his methods flashed through his mind one by one. However, how could he have the method of mending the sky in his martial arts? Even if there was, it was not something he could do at his current state of transformation.

Listening to the loud noises and roars of the world shaking, and faintly mixed with the exclamations and screams of others outside, Xie Yuan frowned. The mountain belly where he and Yun Xing were located was actually a safer place and was not affected much.

But if this continues, it won’t be long before the result is the same.

Xie Yuan was frowning when he suddenly felt the shaking weaken, the number of flaming meteorites in the sky quickly decreased, and then the sky stopped collapsing, and the country in his hands became stable again.

What happened?
He and Yun Xing exchanged a glance and found that each other's eyes were full of surprise. Then Yun Xing suddenly said:
"Someone outside has repaired this place..."

Before she finished her words, the ruined cave flashed with white light, and both of them felt dizzy.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Yuan found himself in an exquisite palace, surrounded by many people.

But he immediately turned his gaze to the bright girl in front of him.

"You're finally out!"

Situ Qin patted his chest, showing a relieved expression.

Xie Yuan felt as if he had returned to the human world after experiencing life and death, and his whole body became relaxed.

Especially when he safely saw the woman in front of him, he sighed sincerely:

"It's so nice to see you again..."

When Situ Qin saw him say such explicit words in front of so many people, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and even with her personality, she felt a little embarrassed.

But she immediately thought of how much Xie Yuan must have suffered, and she couldn't help but look worried:

"Hey, are you hurt in there? Do you want to take medicine? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Xie Yuan secretly thought that he was not seriously injured, but he gained a lot.

He shook his head and looked around. When he didn't see Yun Xing, he frowned.

"What about the woman?"

"Which woman?"

Situ Qin asked very quickly, and then frowned:

"I didn't see anyone else. Just now, the mountains and rivers in my palm were covered with clouds and mist, which spread throughout the palace, and then only you came out."

Xie Yuan saw that the Kingdom in His Palm was surrounded, and he was the only one who came out? This...

Where are the others? At least Yunxing should be out, right? Where is she?
He looked around again and found that apart from Situ Qin, there was also the Fourteenth Prince whom he had seen that day, as well as a number of guards, attendants, palace maids and eunuchs, but no one else was to be seen. He could not help but frowning deeply.

"It was His Highness the Fourteenth Prince who generously donated money and pointed out the lack of the kingdom in his hands, and brought the missing part out from the Curry, which saved you."

Situ Qin said calmly.

The Fourteenth Prince had a solemn expression on his face. Xie Yuan keenly felt that the matter seemed a little complicated, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed a little subtle.

He bowed to the Fourteenth Prince and said:
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness."

The Fourteenth Prince shook his head slightly:

"Thank you, sir, there's no need to be so polite."

Seeing that he didn't say much, Xie Yuan pulled Situ Qin to the side of the palace and asked in a low voice:

"What's the situation now? What happened outside in the past two days?"

Situ Qin's face darkened when he heard this, and then he said quickly in a low voice:

"We are now in the Fourteenth Prince's palace, but he is surrounded by the Crown Prince..."

Xie Yuan opened his eyes wide quickly after listening to Situ Qin's quick and concise narration.

It turns out that the world has really turned upside down in the past two days.

As expected, Situ Qin's mother showed up, rushed directly into the palace, and then assassinated the emperor.

The old emperor died, and the grandmaster started a fierce fight in the palace, which was immediately thrown into chaos.

The war was restrained at first, but then it broke out suddenly somehow. The grandmasters began to fight while moving, and even though they seemed to have some reservations, half of the imperial city on their route suffered. Even several streets in the capital were razed to the ground, causing heavy casualties.

However, the palace could not take care of the outside world. Once the emperor died, the prince directly controlled the entire palace, and the situation became delicate.

The emperor passed away suddenly, and several prestigious princes seemed to have other thoughts. However, under the prince's thundering means, it was said that several palaces had been washed with blood.

All other princes were trapped in the palace and were not allowed to go out. The entire palace was under martial law, waiting for the dust to settle.

After Xie Yuan listened, he digested it for a while before sighing:

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought that only one day in the mountains was a thousand years in the world."

Things are really changing in Dali. As soon as Situ Wanzhong was born, he committed such a big crime as assassinating the emperor.

Situ Qin was amused but also a little worried. Her mother had returned to society, and she heard from her, which made her feel happy but also complicated.

They were all in the palace, but I had no idea and hadn't even seen them once.

She sighed softly, and then said:
"Our situation is now more complicated. The Crown Prince only confined the other princes to their houses, and directly sent the Imperial Guards to surround the Fourteenth Prince's palace..."

"Why? We can't get out either? You too?"

Xie Yuan frowned.

Situ Qin nodded:
"Your Majesty... The late emperor was actually not satisfied with the crown prince. He secretly preferred the fourteenth prince. Because the fourteenth prince was most like him when he was young.

“However, due to various considerations, he never told the public that he wanted to depose the eldest son and enthronize the youngest son. Everyone thought that this was the end of it, but the Fourteenth Prince actually had His Majesty’s will.

"However, the Crown Prince's reaction seems to be more acute than the Fourteenth Prince and the late Emperor expected. I don't even know how he knew about the will. He directly controlled the overall situation, surrounded this place, and wanted the Fourteenth Prince to surrender. Now the imperial guards outside are all the Crown Prince's confidants. It's useless for the Fourteenth Prince to show the will. Naturally, we can't go out before everything is settled."

Xie Yuan nodded slowly, understanding the cause and effect, and said in a serious tone:
"If this will is true, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as not being able to go out."

Perhaps the prince might let Situ Qin go because of Situ Wan's deterrent power, but as for all the others, if the prince became the new emperor, he probably would not leave them alive.

including yourself.

Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. This Qianlong Banquet was truly a den of dragons and tigers. The imperial palace was truly as deep as the sea. Once out of this desperate place, there would be danger again.

He thought about it, frowned and asked:

"Is there any news about your mother...fighting with several family heads?"

Situ Qin shook his head:
"The riot started suddenly. All I know is that your second uncle, the head of the Cui family, my mother, and the King of Chu fought in the palace, and then gradually moved to outside the palace. Later, the crown prince took control of the palace, and the news could not get in."

Xie Yuan heaved a sigh of relief at least he didn't hear any bad news.

With Xie Yi's ability being the best under Grandmaster, and Cui Chengkang leading the charge, I think he will have no problem protecting himself once he leaves the palace.

Now it depends on how to save ourselves.

Xie Yuan looked at the Fourteenth Prince who had a calm expression on the other side, and thought to himself that he was calm at this moment.

He frowned and said:

"The emperor wants to pass on the throne, but he has no way to give this fourteenth prince any means?"

Situ Qin hesitated:
"The country in his palm? The country in his palm is for him, and the missing piece is in his hand. Taibo and Hongyi were confronting the masters under the prince outside. I saw that there was something wrong with it, so I forced him to fix it. It took a long stalemate before he agreed. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I would definitely not let him become the emperor."

When Xie Yuan heard this, his expression warmed up and he held Situ Qin's hand:

"You saved me again."

Situ Qin smiled:

"Do we need to say this? Thank you, Chief Escort."

Xie Yuan and she looked at each other and smiled.

Then Xie Yuan looked thoughtful:

"Although this Palm Kingdom is powerful, we found nothing in it. It should be that there is no other backup plan - if there is, it will be almost destroyed in the collapse of the sky. However, since the emperor has given him the task of trapping Qianlong Tianjiao to death, it means that he is indeed valued. He must be the successor in his mind who will continue to eliminate the aristocratic families and sweep away the threats.

"But now the Crown Prince has the upper hand, and the Fourteenth Prince is trapped in a corner. What means can he use to turn the tables?"

His means of turning the tables was his chance of survival. Xie Yuan pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he prepared to have a frank talk with the Fourteenth Prince.

As soon as he came out, he recovered his strength to the third level of Qi and Blood. He could not participate in the Grandmaster's battle, but in this chaotic situation, he could do a lot.

Xie Yuan walked up to the Fourteenth Prince and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

A majestic and impatient voice sounded:
"My fourteenth brother is planning a rebellion. Although I am deeply distressed, I can only teach the rebel a lesson on behalf of the late emperor to keep Dali peaceful. Soldiers, charge in, capture the rebel, and you will be rewarded handsomely!"

Shouts and cries of killing broke out, and the sound of thunder and lightning as well as Li Tai's angry shouts all reached Xie Yuan's ears.

The Grandmaster also started fighting.

It seems the prince can't wait any longer.

Xie Yuan's brows suddenly frowned, but he saw several masters with extremely fast movements rushing in from the entrance of the palace. When they saw the Fourteenth Prince beside him, they rushed over directly!

Several guards beside the Fourteenth Prince drew their swords and rushed forward. However, just as the guards rushed forward, the guards around the Fourteenth Prince became sparse, and several palace servants behind him drew their daggers and rushed forward at the same time. Their agility was obviously not that of ordinary palace maids and eunuchs.

The assassins coming for the Fourteenth Prince attacked from both sides. Xie Yuan, who was standing next to him, seemed particularly troublesome and was the first to be attacked by several daggers.

In an instant, murderous intent spread throughout the palace. (End of this chapter)
