From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 265 The Protagonist’s Breakthrough
Could it be that Little Meng Tianzun has also been corrupted?
Despite Zhao Xun's calm and confident demeanor, he was actually quite uneasy inside.

why?
Because he had no idea what Little Meng Tianzun was up to!
Who is Xiao Meng Tianzun? He was first a monk named Lei Dao Kuangseng, and then he entered Taoism from Buddhism. He first pretended to be Yuanshi Tianzun, and then played the role of Taishang Laojun, and finally achieved the position of Yuanshi Tianzun.

At least after Xiao Meng transmigrated, he first became a Buddhist, then a Taoist. Although he broke the precepts and married a demoness, he was still a primordial being!
Now, in this world he created, Zhao Xun is going to destroy Taoism and Buddhism!
That's incredibly audacious!
But there's nothing we can do; that's the kind of information the main body is sending, and it's given plenty of reasons.

The reasons sounded very convincing and persuasive, but when it came to actually implementing them, he was unsure of himself.

Calling a bald monk in front of a monk, and cursing a Taoist priest in front of a Taoist priest, that's just...

He always felt like he was dancing in front of death!
In other words, he has become very shrewd and has hidden himself very well, so Zhang Julu on the other side did not notice.

Even so, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

“The Northern Liang Royal Palace?” Zhang Julu’s gaze suddenly sharpened. He seemed to have the world under his control, but with the release of the Northern Liang Royal Palace’s proclamation, he was actually in a precarious position. This was because at least part of the Northern Liang Royal Palace’s proclamation was true; they had indeed sidelined the Li Yang royal family and held absolute power in the court.

Meanwhile, the 300,000 iron cavalry of Beiliang were constantly on his mind.

Now that Zhao Xun is so certain that something unusual is about to happen in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, how could he not be alarmed?
"You know about the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion? That's right. There are grudges between your Jing'an Prince's Mansion and the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion. It's normal to place a few pawns in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion."

“This is not normal at all. Something is very wrong with the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.” Zhao Xun shook his head. “Never a spies from Qingzhou have survived more than a month in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion. Qingzhou doesn't know much about the situation there, but Xu Fengnian…”

Zhao Xun hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "He is different."

"Different? How are they different?!"

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Zhao Xun said. “I’m not keeping you in suspense, because I don’t know what he’ll do either, but I can be sure of one thing: he will not sit idly by and wait for his doom.”

Before stirring up trouble, Zhao Xun was very curious about what the protagonist's halo would bring to Xu Fengnian, who was facing the Heavenly Curse of not living past twenty.

Northern Liang Royal Palace
The atmosphere at the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion has been unusually oppressive these past few days.
After all, the Northern Liang Royal Palace has not encountered a single good thing recently; in fact, it can be said that it has suffered a severe blow.

First, the King of Beiliang was imprisoned upon entering the capital and almost trapped in Tai'an City. Fortunately, his own heir proved capable, storming into Tai'an City and rescuing the King of Beiliang. He even gained great fame in Tai'an City and forced that damned Zhang Julu to retreat.

Upon returning to Beiliang, the King of Beiliang immediately issued a proclamation, and the Beiliang cavalry began mobilization. Just when many thought a great battle was about to break out, an unexpected event occurred.

First, the adopted son of the Liang King, General Chen Zhibao, died suddenly in the Liang King's mansion. Then, the Crown Prince, who had already reached the first rank and was able to unleash the power of a terrestrial immortal in a short time, suddenly fell ill and became bedridden.

The war machine, which had already been set in motion, came to a halt at this moment!
Xu Fengnian's position in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion is extremely important. Now, his importance has even surpassed that of Xu Xiao. After all, Xu Xiao is old, has a bad reputation, and his strength is just so-so. But Xu Fengnian is in his prime, and his strength has been proven.

Even without these 300,000 iron cavalry, Xu Fengnian's strength as a pseudo-land immortal was enough to stabilize Liang Province.

Now he's contracted an unknown, strange illness and is bedridden. How can the Liang family be at ease?

Everyone in the mansion was filled with anxiety, unsure of what the future held for them.

Xu Xiao's expression was gloomy as he looked at Li Yishan and said, "So, this is all because of Zhao Xun. He severed the connection between heaven and earth, isolating the immortal realm from the mortal world, and cursed all the immortals who descended to the mortal realm using unknown means. Feng Nian must be an immortal reincarnation, which is why he couldn't live past twenty and got seriously ill? Chen Zhibao died suddenly for the same reason?"

“That’s right,” Li Yishan said solemnly. “At this time, finding a doctor is of little use; at most, they can only stabilize the prince’s condition.” “Then I will go to Zhao Xun and ask him to lift the curse.”

"Although the curse originated from Zhao Xun, he used unknown means to inscribe it into the Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm. Now, this curse has become part of the rules of the mortal realm. Finding him will probably not be so easy."

"Then I'll wipe out the Jing'an Prince's Mansion first!" Xu Xiao suddenly became furious. "Does Zhao Xun really think he can do whatever he wants just because he's a new Confucian sage? Doesn't he know how I got the title of 'Butcher of Men'?!"

"Your Highness, it is not wise to act rashly at this time. The key is to find a way to solve the problem of the Crown Prince!"

“I know this is the key, but you also said that finding a doctor is useless, and finding Zhao Xun is useless. So tell me, how do we solve this?!” Xu Xiao paced back and forth anxiously, and his long-lost killing aura burst forth from his body once again.

Does the fact that Dang Zhen Tu has been relatively quiet for the past few years mean he's really old?
Xu Fengnian is his only hope now. If something really happens to him, he might go crazy and even he himself is afraid.

"This won't work, that won't work, tell me, what should we do?!"

"Let's look to the Taoist or Buddhist sects. The immortals in the mortal realm are dwindling, and under the current circumstances, the immortals in the celestial realm would not be willing to descend to the mortal world. These are the only two places that can help. Although they are currently being suffocated by Confucianism, they still have a solid foundation," Li Yishan said.

"Isn't there any other way?!"

Li Yishan smiled wryly, and just as he was about to speak, a servant rushed over.

"what happened again?!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, he...!"

"What's wrong with the young master?!" Xu Xiao grabbed the servant by the collar and shouted sternly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness has fully recovered!"

"What?!" Xu Xiao and Li Yishan exclaimed at the same time.

"Quick, take me to see this!"

Upon hearing the good news, Xu Xiao and Li Yishan disregarded everything else and hurriedly followed the servants to Xu Fengnian's residence.

Then, they saw Xu Fengnian standing in the courtyard. He looked a little weak and his face was pale, but at least he was able to get out of bed, unlike before when he was hiding in bed and it was very difficult for him to even move.

"Are you... are you alright?!"

"It's alright, I'm sorry to have worried you, Father." Xu Fengnian forced a smile and gave the two of them a reassuring one. "Don't worry, Father, I'm almost fully recovered. I just haven't been out of bed for a few days, so I came out for a walk and some fresh air."

"Good, good, that's good, that's good." At this moment, Xu Xiao's voice was choked with emotion, and then he cursed, "Damn Zhao Xun, this time, I'll make him pay!"

“Father, this matter is not the fault of Prince Xun. His original intention was only to eliminate the immortals in the mortal world. He just did not expect that I was also a reincarnation, so this mistake occurred.”

"Are you feeling better now? That curse didn't affect you, right?!"

"No, I've already lifted the curse. I'm just a little weak right now and need some time to recover!" Xu Fengnian said with a smile. His muscles were a bit stiff, but neither Xu Xiao nor Li Yishan paid any attention to it, assuming it was because he was recovering from a serious illness and his body wasn't fully recovered yet.
