I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 269 Last Letter!

wow~
The cold mountain wind blew in through the window, flickering the dim oil lamp and bringing a chill.

After all, it was something left behind by his master, so Xie An was still quite uneasy.

With a "click," the box opened.

A unique fragrance emanated from inside.

A fragrance that carries a spiritual aura.

Xie An and Su Yuqing both widened their eyes and stared intently. Inside the small box were two letters, sealed with wax.

One of the letters was addressed to Xie An.

Another letter was addressed to: Su Yuqing.

This greatly surprised Xie An.

Xie An thought it was normal to leave a letter for himself. But he never expected that he would also leave one for Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing was equally surprised and it took her a while to recover. She reached for the envelope, opened it, and began to read. Xie An also picked up his own envelope, opened it, and began to read.

The letter paper was covered with elegant and powerful handwriting.

The ink had long since dried, suggesting that his master had written it a long time ago, just waiting to hand it over after the incident.

"Xie An, when you see this letter, it means that your master has met with misfortune. It also means that your master's guesses were correct."

Emperor Jingtai has indeed received the orthodox inheritance of the martial arts patriarch, and has essentially become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. You cannot defeat him; you need to cooperate well with Su Yuqing. She possesses Emperor Jingtai's imperial dragon bloodline. You have the Five-Colored Lotus, and she has the true dragon bloodline. Only through dual cultivation can you find a way out.

Furthermore, Emperor Jingtai may have awakened the Martial Ancestor, or perhaps the Martial Ancestor possessed Emperor Jingtai's body. Emperor Jingtai's bloodline is the same as the Martial Ancestor's bloodline. Su Yuqing is your only chance to break this deadlock. Do not leave before reaching Foundation Establishment. If Emperor Jingtai brings people to Yunzhou, you should lead the Daoist sect to hide in the Kongsang Ancient City; even Foundation Establishment cultivators will find that formation difficult to break.”

Upon seeing this, Xie An felt a chill run down his spine.

Before this, Xie An only wanted to develop quietly and never imagined that this world would become like this. He also never imagined that he would have to shoulder such a great responsibility.

But now, Xie An knew he couldn't escape it.

Once the building collapses, no one in this world will be spared.

Xie An could no longer remain unaffected.

He took a deep breath and continued looking behind him.

"When you entered the ancient city of Kongsang before, there was another person who also entered. He was Chen Haiming, the emperor of the previous Tianbao dynasty. Chen Haiming was rescued by the supervisor, but what Chen Haiming didn't know was that the person behind the supervisor was also the Jingtai Emperor. Chen Haiming provided information, thinking that he could freely enter the ancient city of Kongsang with the help of the Nine Palaces Box. This information will eventually fall into the hands of the Jingtai Emperor."

These masters all knew this, and it meant something ancient.

"Once you enter the ancient city of Kongsang, if Emperor Jingtai dares to come looking for you, you can use the Iron Spirit Kun Wood to activate the city's protective array. While this array won't kill Emperor Jingtai, it will severely injure him, buying you time. The most crucial thing from here on out depends on whether Su Yuqing agrees to cultivate with you."

Xie An instinctively looked up at Su Yuqing beside him, only to find that the woman was still looking down at the letter in her hand and hadn't noticed him. Only then did Xie An continue reading.

The following content is no longer about Baiyujing, but a complete method of cultivation for fellow practitioners.

At the very end, Bai Yujing left a final message: "If we cannot cultivate together, that is also acceptable. Make good use of the Five-Colored Lotus. This is the only way, but it may take more time."

After reading all the information, Xie An leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

The passing of Bai Yujing saddened Xie An. However, Bai Yujing herself seemed unaffected by it, appearing quite indifferent and magnanimous, a magnanimity that somewhat influenced Xie An.

Not long after, Su Yuqing put down the letter, feeling very upset.

Xie An asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Su Yuqing didn't explain anything and simply handed the letter to Xie An.

When Xie An opened it, he felt a chill run down his spine.

In his letter, Bai Yujing revealed a startling piece of news—the princes who died in the early years of Emperor Jingtai's reign did not die from factional strife or accidents, but were killed by Emperor Jingtai's own scheme.

Next, Emperor Jingtai would kill all his sons and grandsons.

The reason is: Emperor Jingtai is no longer Emperor Jingtai, but a monster possessed by the Martial Arts Ancestor. The Martial Arts Ancestor does not want his bloodline to flow out and would allow his descendants to share his destiny, so... Emperor Jingtai must be childless.

Finally, Bai Yujing warned Su Yuqing: "Whatever you do, do not go to the capital. Stay close to Xie An."

Xie An felt a little sore.

Su Yuqing murmured, "No wonder I felt that my father had been acting strangely these past few years. It turns out that after he awakened the ancestor of martial arts, his body was possessed..."

Xie An put his arm around her shoulder, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to start.

No one could accept that their father had suddenly become a different person, a demon.

Moreover, with Bai Yujing in trouble, Ye Nantian is likely to be in trouble as well.

Next, the founder of martial arts might actually come to Yunzhou to find Su Yuqing in order to ensure that his lineage ends.

The intense sense of oppression was suffocating.

Su Yuqing remained silent for a long time before slowly recovering. "Xie An, what are your plans next?"
