Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 166 Xia Mingqing’s resentment! The ancestral artifact Xuanniao Ding!

Qingling Mansion!
The center of Anzhou, where all the main officials of Anzhou gather.

Not only that, the most honorable person in Qingling Prefecture is not the governor of Anzhou.

But it was Xia Mingqing, the son of the late emperor, Prince An!
As the sky gradually brightened, a rising sun hung high in the sky, and bits of morning light passed through the clouds and poured into the city of Qingling Prefecture.

A majestic mansion is located in the center of the East City of Qingling Prefecture, covering an area of nearly several thousand acres of land.

At the main entrance of the mansion is a magnificent vermilion gate.

The walls surrounding the mansion are all made of white jade-colored bricks. They are so high that people cannot see what is inside the mansion.

Of course, these things are far from enough to demonstrate the nobility of the mansion.

The plaque hanging high above the gate is what is truly intimidating.

The edge of the plaque is inlaid with a large amount of exquisite gold threads, which sparkle in the sunlight.

At the same time, several black birds are carved in the center of the plaque.

The black bird looks lifelike, as if it will fly out of the plaque at any moment.

In the center surrounded by several black birds, there are three big characters.

Prince An’s Mansion!
In a heavily guarded courtyard in Prince An's Mansion, that is where Prince An Xia Mingqing practices.

In the main room of the courtyard, a man in a black brocade robe sat cross-legged on a cushion on the ground with his eyes closed.

The man looked to be about thirty-five years old, and he was none other than Prince An, Xia Mingqing.

At this moment, dark energy was swirling around Xia Mingqing, and mysterious black birds would appear from time to time in the rolling energy.

When the black energy suddenly burst out with terrifying aura, eight illusory and blurry black birds appeared and circled around Xia Mingqing.

"The eighth level of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Bird Technique has been stabilized."

The man who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and the black energy swirling around him disappeared in an instant.

The eight black birds floating around Xia Mingqing also disappeared into the void.

"The Divine Mansion Realm is almost here. This prince is about to break through to that realm."

"Xia Mingyue, you were just lucky enough to be favored by the Xuanniao Ding back then."

"It was only with the power of the Mysterious Bird Cauldron that I was able to allow you, a bitch, to break through to the Divine Mansion realm."

"Otherwise, how could it be your turn to inherit the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"This time, I will definitely not lose again. After I break through to the Divine Mansion realm, hmph..."

The face of that woman appeared in Xia Mingqing's mind. She was the person he hated most in his life.

That is his good sister, Xia Mingyue, the sister who is five years younger than him and is only thirty years old now.

Xia Mingyue, the eleventh princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, ranked after the ten princes!

However, what shocked countless people was that Xia Mingyue was a daughter.

Ten years ago, he obtained the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty and became the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty!

why!
It was because of that damn Xia Mingyue that he won the favor of the first ancestral artifact of the Great Xia royal family, which is the Great Xia Xuanniao Ding sacrificial artifact.

Moreover, the Xuanniao Ding actually recognized Xia Mingyue as its master. This result directly shocked the secluded ancestors of the royal family.

You know, the sun-level sacrificial vessel, the Xuanniao Ding, is known as the treasure of the Great Xia Dynasty and the number one sacrificial vessel.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty by the Holy Ancestor, no emperor among those who inherited the throne has been able to gain the recognition of the Xuanniao Ding as its master.

It’s because the Xuanniao Ding recognized Xia Mingyue as its master.

Therefore, Xia Mingyue's martial arts realm, nourished by the endless origin of heaven and earth from the Xuanniao Ding, made rapid progress.

In the end, she used her status as the eleventh princess to suppress her ten brothers, who were unable to even raise their heads. Even the ancestors of the Great Xia royal family had no objections after the Xuanniao Ding recognized her as its master.

Even before ascending the throne, Xia Mingyue had broken through to the legendary realm, the Divine Mansion Realm!

Originally, relying on the strength of the Divine Mansion realm, Xia Mingyue could sit firmly on the throne of the Great Xia.

And no matter how unwilling these imperial brothers were, they had no way to deal with their imperial sister.

However, God has eyes and gave Xia Mingqing a glimmer of hope.

The incident five years ago caused Xia Mingyue to suffer backlash from the Lingxu Land.

"Xia Mingyue, my dear sister!"

"How dare you ignore everyone's feelings and want to refine the Spirit Ruins Land alone? How dare you!"

"I'm afraid you can't get out of this situation now."

"The eight major families and those other forces all have ulterior motives."

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"Sooner or later, that position will be obtained by me. You are not worthy of the Xuanniao Ding. It belongs only to me."

"It's not just me who has this idea. I'm afraid my nine brothers are also tired of being lonely now."

A mysterious black light kept flashing in Xia Mingqing's eyes, and an astonishing aura emanated from his entire body.

If there were outsiders here, they would definitely be surprised.

Prince An Xia Mingqing is actually a terrifying existence who has reached the perfection of the outer Gang Grandmaster!
Xia Mingqing seemed to have noticed the movement outside the door, and all the energy in his body was gathered inside his body, returning to normal.

"Ok?"

"Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open, and a woman in a goose yellow dress walked lightly in front of Xia Mingqing.

The woman had a pretty face and her black hair was tied into a bun. She looked to be about twenty-seven years old.

A thin ribbon was tied around her slender waist, which looked like it might fall off at any time.

This woman who looks somewhat charming and graceful is actually the personal maid of Prince An.

"Luo Meng has seen the prince!"

After seeing the person coming, Xia Mingqing nodded lightly, then spoke calmly.

"What's the matter!"

"In reply to your Highness, it was the Qingyi Guards stationed near the city gate who discovered something unusual."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingqing became interested, stood up from the mat and looked directly at the woman in front of him.

"Say!"

"Early this morning, a very strange young man came to the city of Qinglingfu."

"The horse he's riding is the Divine Wind Horse of the Xuanniao Guard!"

"And this young man is someone they have never met before."

"So, after Luo Meng received this news, she felt something was amiss and rushed to report it to you, Your Highness!"

In Qingling Mansion, only a few people have the Divine Wind Steed.

That is, the Xuanniao Guard Xuanshi and two deputy envoys who are in Qingling Mansion.

It just so happened that the mysterious young man who entered the city today was not a member of the Xuanniao Guard of Qingling Prefecture at all.
