The stolen magic is a bit magical

Hu Ji doesn't even care about her own clan's affairs, so how could she possibly care about the affairs of Xin Ge?
Even if she wanted to talk, there was nothing to talk about.

Lin Xiaosu understood Xin Ge not through conversation, but through the wondrous application of the Divine Art.

His mastery of the demigods has become increasingly profound, especially in the field of getting people to tell the truth, where he has reached a new level—the demigod soul-searching technique!

Secondary God Soul Search, Contact-based Soul Search.

If you place a finger between someone's eyebrows, the memory in their mind can be directly extracted.

This is a unique skill that is enough to make the world take notice.

It could even be an extremely terrifying skill.

He placed a finger on Li Chengnian's brow and deciphered many things through the imprint in his sea of ​​consciousness. It was these things that touched him and made him truly determined on his next path: to intervene in the dynasty through the Heart Pavilion.

Why?

Because Xin Pavilion already has a very deep connection with the Great Wilderness Dynasty.

Crown Prince Hong Ding regarded Xin Ge as his confidant.

Xin Ge also regarded the Crown Prince as his sovereign.

I have done so many things for him over the years.

The most crucial aspect was to gradually weaken the power of the former Crown Prince Hong Lie, thereby facilitating the removal of this unfortunate man from the throne and securing the position of the Third Prince Hong Ding as the new Crown Prince.

At this moment, they are plotting an even bigger scheme.

Li Chengnian was only a steward and did not know the specifics of the plot, but even the faint clues about the target made Lin Xiaosu's heart pound.

He also knew that Qingqiu and Xin Ge had reached a marriage agreement in the past five days.

In three months, the Seventh Princess will marry Li Chengnian of the Hexi Li Clan—Li Chengnian's boastful words to him just now, "The Seventh Princess you are pursuing will be moaning under my crotch in three months," were not a lie.

He also knew that this maid was named Yan Shi, and on the surface she was Li Chengnian's concubine, but in reality she was a person of Crown Prince Hong Ding.

She thought her identity was well hidden, but in fact, Li Chengnian had already discovered it. However, the boy simply didn't reveal it, instead venting his male instincts on Yan Shi without hiding it from anyone else.

He was subtly expressing his displeasure with being monitored by others in this way.

Lin Xiaosu also learned about the core structure of XinGe...

The Desolate Capital Heart Pavilion has two leaders: one is a puppet in the open, and the other is the true master in the basement.

Xinge is not strong overall because their motto is to use intelligence rather than force.

However, even the so-called "weakness" that Li Chengnian himself perceived was still astonishing when converted into a cultivation level that Lin Xiaosu could understand.

The Heart Pavilion of Desolate City, the apparent leader, is at the Enlightenment Realm.

The mastermind behind the scenes is a master of the Daoist arts, and his attainments as a sub-god are quite remarkable.

Suspected to be a left-hand man.

The eight elders were all enlightened gods.

There were over a hundred miscellaneous elders on the outer perimeter, whose status was equivalent to that of the black-bearded elder, at the peak of enlightenment.

There are also a large number of disciples.

Disciples were divided into personal disciples, elite disciples, and menial disciples, and were distributed in the backyards of various government offices in the capital.

Several of them even entered the Eastern Palace or the Imperial Palace!

After traveling hundreds of miles, the river became deeper and deeper. Ahead, the wind and clouds surged, as if the world had just been created. They finally left the territory of Zuozhi Lake and entered the Central Plains.

Zhongzhou, a land of fish and rice, offers a glimpse of prosperity on both banks when passing by by boat.

However, prosperity is always a game for a minority. With his divine insight, he also saw a large number of ordinary people who were barely clothed, and even villagers who were beaten to death in the grass.

Okay, all the things you'd expect from a feudal society are here!

As the sun set, the river turned golden. The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits emerged from the cabin carrying a tray of roasted meat: "Young Master, please enjoy your meal!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled.

As he smiled, the Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits glared at him: "What are you laughing at? I'm trying to learn without giving myself away."

"You're destined to be exposed!"

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits protested, "Why should I?"

"Because of two reasons! First, on the surface you are Li Chengnian's maid, Yan Shi, but in secret you are a spy planted by the Crown Prince, and you... you don't even know who your contact is."

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits frowned and let out a long sigh: "My goodness, they're playing this double agent game. I hate this kind of thing the most. Maybe I should just betray them?"

"Rebellion?"

"Yes, whoever comes to contact me, I'll kill them. I'll send a strong message to that damned Crown Prince: I will not obey his orders, and from now on, I will only be responsible for my young master." The Thousand Spirit Saintess blinked her eyes: "Young master, are you happy?"

“Any man would feel that his life has been worthwhile if he had a beautiful woman who treated him with such devotion. How could he not be happy?” Lin Xiaosu said.

"You said there are two problems, this is the first... what's the second?"

"Secondly... it's a bit hard to say..." Lin Xiaosu hesitated, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Tch! What's so hard to say? Just say it!" Saintess Qianling couldn't stand it anymore.

"Then I really said it."

"What do you mean, real or fake? Hurry up..."

Lin Xiaosu sighed deeply: "That bastard Li Chengnian is a real scoundrel. He takes advantage of his maid Yan Shi every day, sometimes even doing it with the window open. He treats this absurdity as a silent protest against the Crown Prince's surveillance, and others have gotten used to it. But now that we've all changed, and we're behaving so politely and respectfully towards each other, it'll definitely be exposed to anyone with ulterior motives..."

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits slowly bit her lip: "You made that up, didn't you?" "I swear to God, it's really not!"

Saintess Qianling said, "I understand what you mean. It means that if we don't want to be exposed, we need to abandon all decorum, is that right?"

"cough……"

"You, you, old habits die hard! I was just being cheeky, why did I call myself your senior sister? Actually, I've known for a long time that you're a well-known 'senior sister killer,' and no one you call senior sister has ever escaped your clutches, right?"

"How could that be? Don't you dare tarnish my reputation."

"Don't admit it? Ruin your reputation?" Saintess Qianling glared at him: "Do you dare say that Senior Sister Feng Ji's dying words 'husband' were a slip of the tongue? Do you dare say that Lan Yao is innocent?"

“Cough, it’s different, it’s different!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Why don’t you go to the Spirit Clan? Staying by my side in this ambiguous situation might really damage your reputation… I don’t want to taint this pure flower bud of yours, really.”

The Thousand Spirit Saintess uttered a single word: "Tch..."

She had so much to say, but she just wouldn't say it!

"I don't want to pollute my pure flower bud," you say, but it sounds better than you sing. Who are you trying to fool?
You think I can't see through you? You've always wanted to! You dared to put your hand down there the first time you met her, what wouldn't you want to do?
But do you think you can pollute whenever you want?

You think my Spirit Clan Saintess's belt is some wild vine?

Even so, it's an iron vine...

For the next three days, the flower boat sailed downstream at a considerable speed. However, for the entire three days, it remained within the territory of Zhongzhou. The vastness of this world was truly unimaginable.

At this rate, when will we be able to enter the capital?

That afternoon, Lin Xiaosu made a decision: "Let's not take the boat, let's fly!"

Saintess Qianling frowned: "Li Chengnian is not an oddball like you; he can't fly."

The meaning is clear: if you intend to impersonate someone, you must do it completely. Once your flight path is captured, people will immediately know that you are not Li Chengnian.

Lin Xiaosu said, "There are magical flying boats that fly directly to the Desolate Capital ahead. Although they are expensive, what's there to be afraid of? The money spent will definitely not belong to the Lin family."

now it's right.

The two abandoned ship and went ashore.

With a light touch of the toes, we entered the city ahead.

This city is called Lei City.

Thunder City possesses a magical flying boat.

This airship industry is a huge industrial chain.

It belongs to a super sect that no one in the world dares to underestimate.

This sect is called the Xuanhuang Sect.

Yes, the Xuanhuang Sect, one of the three upper sects.

The headquarters of the Xuanhuang Sect is not located in the Great Wilderness Domain.

The Central Region, thousands of miles away.

This world is strangely vast, comprising five domains and three ruins: east, south, west, north, and center. In addition to the five domains, there are the Spirit Ruins, the Demon Ruins, and the Primordial God Ruins.

Each region contains dozens to hundreds of kingdoms.

These countries range in size from tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter to tiny plots of land. Li Chengnian had no concept of area in his memory, but based on the information he remembered, Lin Xiaosu roughly determined that the explored areas were roughly equivalent to several thousand Earths. And this was only the explored areas; there were still a large number of unknown areas.

We are currently in the Great Wilderness Kingdom.

It belongs to the Southern Region.

The Xuanhuang Sect belongs to the Central Region.

However, as a super giant like the Three Sects of One Abyss, their sphere of influence has long transcended the concept of domain.

For example, the Xuanhuang Sect is not only incredibly powerful in the path of cultivation, but it is also ubiquitous in the lives of ordinary people. For instance, in the field of transportation, it stands out by using the advantages of cultivation to create flying boats that can travel thousands of miles through the void, forcefully integrating cultivation elements into the basic social structure and earning a continuous stream of wealth.

Upon entering Thunder City, proceed directly to the east of the city. There stands a tall array platform in the east, named "Xuanhuang Kongtian Platform".

That is the platform for the Void Flight Ship.

The base of this platform is made entirely of ancient bluestone. Just getting close to it is like approaching a towering mountain, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Several disciples dressed in standard uniforms stood guard below the Sky Platform. Each of their clothes had a huge "玄" character on it, surrounded by a red circle.

This is their identifier.

Disciples of the Xuanhuang lineage are marked with "Xuan" on their clothes, indicating their disciple status is distinguished by color.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple represent the progression from lowly to noble.

This was first created by the Xuanhuang Sect and has long been popular throughout the world, with many other sects imitating it.

Although they were only the lowest-ranking Crimson Circle disciples, these disciples looked up at the sky and disregarded everything under this Sky Platform.

This is the glory that the sect brings them.

Lin Xiaosu and Saintess Qianling stepped down from the stage and announced their goal of going to the Desolate Capital. The disciple on the left held up three fingers: "Three hundred Desolate Coins per person!"

Six hundred barren coins were handed to them, and the two went up to the Sky Platform.

This price is truly outrageous. You should know that Lin Xiaosu and the others rented a swallow boat on Zuozhi Lake (which is essentially a purchase, since they didn't return it anyway) for only one waste coin.

But it's alright, just like Lin Xiaosu said, it's not his money that's being spent. (End of Chapter)
