Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 129 Li Qingya points his sword at Chentang Pass, Fang Heng visits Pixiu Cave
boom--

boom--

boom--

Inside the palace, the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground rose and fell incessantly.

Each sound was like a giant hammer, striking heavily on the hearts of the servants of Shuyu Pavilion, silencing them so much that they dared not even breathe.

inside the house.

Consort Min's face was contorted with rage, like that of a demon.

In her phoenix eyes, the resentment was intense, almost overflowing like a gentle stream.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white and made a creaking sound.

Every time she recalls what happened sixteen years ago, Consort Min is heartbroken and unable to calm down for a long time.

Sixteen years ago, she and Consort Ning became pregnant with the emperor's son at almost the same time.

Unfortunately, Consort Ning was a vicious woman who used cruel methods to kill her unborn son.

After the emperor's son miscarried, she complained to Emperor Yuanchu.

It's hateful that Emperor Yuanchu, old and blind, was so infatuated with Consort Ning's beauty that he didn't even care about such an important matter as harming the imperial heir.

After a cursory investigation, they came to a conclusion that it had nothing to do with Consort Ning, and then dismissed the matter perfunctorily.

She has never forgotten the heartless face of Emperor Yuanchu.

Later, when Emperor Yuanchu was assassinated, Consort Ning shielded him from a blow.

Upon hearing this news, Consort Min felt a surge of joy, like eating an ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day.

She could almost see that Consort Ning, that poisonous woman, would suffer the same fate as her, losing her son.

Unfortunately, fate was blind, and Consort Ning was able to keep her child.

Even a wicked woman like Consort Ning could have offspring, so why is it that a kind and virtuous person like her can only suffer the pain of losing her child?
Every time Consort Ning showed off her son Fang Heng, Consort Min couldn't help but think of it.

If his own son were still alive, he would be Fang Heng's age now.

He will definitely inherit my talent and be far more outstanding than Fang Heng.

Under the flickering candlelight, Consort Min's face was gloomy and uncertain.

"Humph--"

"No matter how outstanding Fang Heng is, he can't compare to my Qingya!"

"Qingya has obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Palace and will soon advance to the tenth realm."

"Even reaching the twelfth realm is not impossible!"

……

Jiaofang Division.

The music was melodious, and the dance was graceful.

A dozen courtesans appeared together, serving two handsome young men in the private room.

One of these two is the current fourth prince, a member of the imperial family.

The other person is Li Qingya, the son of General Li.

The fourth prince was not wearing the armor he wore during his last visit to the Li residence, but instead dressed in casual clothes.

His handsome face was beaming with smiles, and his eyebrows danced with delight.

He stared intently at Li Qingya, as if Li Qingya were more attractive than the dozen or so courtesans beside him.

Because today, Li Qingya took the initiative to meet him and pledge his loyalty.

This was the best news the fourth prince could have imagined.

This not only means that he has won the battle for Li Qingya.

More importantly, he had gained the upper hand in the secret realm of Tianque Sword Palace.

In recent days, the officials of the imperial court have conducted a detailed study of the secret realm of Tianque Sword Palace.

Outside the Heavenly Sword Palace, tens of thousands of sword energies permeated the air.

These tens of thousands of sword energies formed a mysterious array.

This formation is very peculiar; it only prevents outsiders from entering, but does not prevent those inside from leaving.

Entering the Heavenly Sword Palace is fraught with danger.

However, the Heavenly Sword Palace is too attractive, and there are already voices in the court hoping to use spiritual treasures to open a passage.

However, the matter of deposing and establishing a new crown prince remains unresolved.

These voices were forcibly suppressed by the Right Minister.

However, the fourth prince understood perfectly.

The imperial court will not abandon the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Even if the court wanted to give up, the Emperor would not agree.

That's why he gained Li Qingya's loyalty, which was equivalent to seizing the initiative.

After all, Li Qingya was the only cultivator who survived the Heavenly Sword Palace.

In terms of understanding the Heavenly Sword Palace, is there anyone more knowledgeable than Li Qingya?

No!

Absolutely not!

"Qingya, with your help, I am like a tiger with wings!"

"Come on—have a drink, let's drink until we're drunk!"

The Fourth Prince's hearty voice echoed in the room, filled with joy.

After drinking a few cups with the Fourth Prince, Li Qingya changed the subject and said...

"Your Highness, Qingya has a request."

"I agree!"

Before Li Qingya could finish explaining his request, the Fourth Prince readily agreed.

He may seem like a straightforward person, but he is actually quite shrewd.

If Li Qingya's request were easy to fulfill, he naturally wouldn't even frown.

If it is extremely difficult, or even completely impossible.

Isn't there also the tactic of stalling?
Li Qingya was fully aware of the Fourth Prince's attitude, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying:

“Your Highness, I have received the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Palace. Although my strength has increased greatly, without using it, my foundation is still weak.”

"I beg Your Highness to transfer me to Chentang Pass, so that I may hone my skills with the help of the aquatic creatures of the East China Sea."

Go to Chentang Pass?

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince was slightly startled.

If it were anywhere else, he wouldn't even be surprised and would agree immediately.

But Chentang Pass...

This place is quite delicate!

Because the battle for the divine generals is taking place right here.

According to the rules proposed by the Ministry of War, the battlefield for this battle to determine the divine generals will be the battle between Chentang Pass and the aquatic tribes of the East Sea.

Each family was ranked according to their merits. The top two would then be appointed as divine generals.

Today, in Chentang Pass, the struggle for the title of "Divine General" is in full swing.

Did Li Qingya go to Chentang Pass at this time simply to hone his skills, or did he intend to interfere in the selection of divine generals?

Despite some doubts, the fourth prince agreed in a flash.

So what if they want to interfere in the selection of the God Generals?
The most promising candidates in this selection of divine generals are not among our own people.

Letting Li Qingya, that evil dragon, stir up trouble in Chentang Pass is a wise strategy.

The Fourth Prince took out his personal token and pushed it in front of Li Qingya.

"Qingya, take my token and go to Chentang Pass to find General Dugu. He will naturally arrange a position for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Qingya accepted the token, thus completing his main task for the day.

Guan Guan was among the dozen or so courtesans, serving the Fourth Prince and Li Qingya.

Although their conversation was barely audible, it did not escape her notice.

"Li Qingya is actually going to Chentang Pass?"

"Is it to interfere with the selection of the Divine Generals?"

"Hehe—you're really young and impetuous. You've only just received a inheritance, and you're already getting a bit carried away."

"His departure from Yujing for Chentang Pass is a golden opportunity!"

Guan Guan's eyes flashed with a strange light.

The White Lotus lineage naturally coveted the inheritance within the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Unfortunately, there has never been a foothold for them to get involved.

Now, haven't we found a way to leverage this?

Capturing Li Qingya naturally gave them the upper hand.

After several rounds of drinks, the Fourth Prince and Li Qingya finally left the Jiaofangsi, still tipsy.

Upon returning to the Li residence, Li Qingya activated his magic, and the effects of his drunkenness vanished instantly.

The swordsman in the jade pendant revealed his true form.

"Disciple, what are you doing going to Chentang Pass at this time?" Sword Elder asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

In his view, Li Qingya should go into seclusion to cultivate and digest the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Palace as soon as possible.

Instead of expecting Chen Tang Pass to interfere in the selection of divine generals.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qingya slowly said, "Master, I went to Chentang Pass to collect interest."

"Charging interest?"

Sword Elder was somewhat bewildered by Li Qingya's words.
Li Qingya took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“Elder Jian, you don’t know this, but my aunt has suffered a lot of injustices in the palace over the years.”

"Even my unborn cousin died in the womb because of the fierce fighting in the palace."

“Over the years, I have witnessed all the suffering my aunt has endured in the palace.”

"We didn't have the power to help our aunt get justice before."

"But things are different now. I plan to help my aunt and collect some interest first."

Li Qingya said with a cold smile, his aura as cold and aloof as ten-thousand-year-old ice, which made Sword Elder take notice.

After pondering for a moment, Sword Elder nodded and said.

"Now that you've made your choice, go ahead and do it."

"However, you just came from the Heavenly Sword Palace. Leaving the capital at this time might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."

Li Qingya had already anticipated Jian Lao's reminder.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Elder Jian.

"I beg my master to protect me!"

"Who told you to be my only disciple?"

Sword Elder gave a wry smile and shook his head repeatedly.

……

Yujing, Nanshan.

Nestled against mountains and beside water, the scenery is beautiful.

Because the sacred beast Pixiu lives here, it is also known as Sacred Beast Mountain or Pixiu Mountain by the people of Yujing.

Today marks Fang Heng's second ascent of Nanshan Mountain.

Last time, he came here with the Right Chancellor and officials from the Wenyuan Pavilion.

This time, Fang Heng was alone.

As for whether the Pixiu would choose to avoid him, Fang Heng wasn't worried at all.

Given Pixiu's perception of precious light, it's likely that the moment I set foot on Nanshan Mountain, it would sense the Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill within my Sumeru Ring.

After a cup of tea.

Fang Heng arrived outside the Pixiu's cave, cupped his hands in greeting, and said in a deep voice.

"Junior Fang Heng, please come out and meet me, senior."

"One Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill, and I'll see you!"

"Otherwise, I won't see you!"

The voice of the Pixiu came from inside the cave.

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng gave a wry smile.

The Pixiu's personality is indeed as rumored, quite shameless.

Of course, this is based on unofficial historical records.

When Emperor Taizu subdued the Pixiu, it was still in its infancy.

Because he followed the founding emperor, he was influenced by what he saw and heard, which is how he developed this scoundrel-like side.

Of course, these unofficial histories were banned by the imperial court because they involved defamation of Emperor Taizu.

Fang Heng had anticipated Pixiu's shamelessness.

He wanted to get my pills for free before we even met.

Fang Heng suppressed his anger and took out a Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill from his Sumeru Ring.

The next second, a suction force erupted from the cave, pulling the Heavenly Fortune Forging Pill from Fang Heng's hand.

Immediately afterwards, even through the cave, Fang Heng could feel a strong sense of joy.

"hehe--"

"Took the bait!"

Fang Heng chuckled inwardly, before the smile on his face could fade.

The cave gates suddenly swung open!
