Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 73 Mr. Wu: Please, Your Highness, Change Your Mind (First Order Request!)

Jiange.

The elder in green clothes transformed into a green sword light and escaped into the main peak of Jiange.

He was in a hurry, walking very fast, with deep worry between his furrowed brows.

"Master, the Saint has escaped!" the green-robed elder reported.

His voice was like a huge rock falling into a calm lake, instantly causing huge waves.

Wei Jiuxiao, the current leader of Jiange.

After hearing the report from the green-robed elder, two sharp and brilliant rays of light burst out from his sword pupils.

The sharpness of the light made the elder in green feel pain on his skin.

It was like two sharp swords, as if they were going to split him in half.

Beads of cold sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, densely packed, and he was sweating profusely.

Elder Qingyi knew very well how murderous the Pavilion Master in front of him was!

Rumor has it that the previous Pavilion Master was...

"Say!"

"What exactly happened?"

"Didn't the Saintess follow the bride-picking procession to the Shenxiao Sect?"

Wei Jiuxiao's voice was low and sounded a little hoarse, but it was filled with endless murderous intent and coldness.

"Pavilion Master, when the Shenxiao Sect came to pick up the bride, the Saint requested to stay in Ba County for a day to take one last look at her hometown."

"The Supreme Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, who was in charge of the bride's reception, thought it would be hard for the Saint to leave her homeland, so he agreed to her request."

"Who would have thought that the Saint would run away from the marriage that night."

After listening to the report from the Qingyi Elder, Wei Jiuxiao's face showed no joy or sadness, and no emotion could be seen.

He just raised his eyebrows slightly and questioned in a cold voice.

"escape?"

"How did Pei Qingxuan escape?"

"She has this ability under the nose of the Grand Elder of the Shenxiao Sect?"

The elder in green lowered his head even more.

When he heard the Pavilion Master calling the Saint's name directly, he knew that the Pavilion Master was really angry.

In the past, the two sides did not get along.

But in the end, they maintained superficial harmony, which at least saved their face.

just now……

The elder in green took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.

"Pavilion Master, the Saint used the escape technique of Shocking Nineteen Continents to break through the void."

"The swiftness of the escape technique was so great that even the Grand Elder of the Divine Sky Sect was unable to stop it."

Jinghong Nineteen Continents, a Taiyi magical power-level escape technique.

It is also the undisputed number one escape technique in Jiange.

The difficulty of cultivation is such that not every Sword Pavilion Master can master it.

The most important thing is that the cost of using the Jinghong Nineteen Continents escape technique is extremely high.

Each time, one needs to sacrifice a treasure of escape technique before it can be used.

Treasures related to escape techniques are extremely rare, so the escape technique of Jinghong Nineteen Continents has not been used many times and is not very famous.

Otherwise, everyone can compete for the title of the best escape technique in Daqian.

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes were gloomy, and his whole body exuded a cold aura, as if he could freeze the void.

Pei Qingxuan mastered the escape technique of Jinghong Nineteen Continents.

This did not surprise Wei Jiuxiao.

Pei Qingxuan's talent is considered to be the most outstanding and dazzling in the 100,000-year history of Jiange.

He had long expected that Pei Qingxuan had already mastered the Nineteen Continents of Jinghong.

only……

Where do escape-related treasures come from?

The treasure that Pei Qingxuan sacrificed was at least at the level of a rare item, as it was unable to react in time for the Grand Elder of the Shenxiao Sect to do so.

Rare items and valuable treasures related to the art of escape.

Looking across the entire Jiange, there are less than two handfuls of them.

Each one has a name.

Which elder is secretly helping Pei Qingxuan?

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes turned cold, and there was a faint flash of sword light.

When Elder Qingyi saw this scene, his heart was in his throat.

Even with his cultivation level of the tenth realm, his legs felt weak and his mouth was dry.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

He always felt that in the next second, countless sword energies would come from the sky and behead him with one sword.

Wei Jiuxiao glanced at the frightened look of the elder in green and snorted in disdain.

These spineless people don't even have the guts to secretly help Pei Qingxuan.

It seems that what happened today was the work of a certain supreme elder.

This group of traitors, I will sooner or later suppress you all.

A violent emotion filled Wei Jiuxiao's heart.

"Humph--"

"Go after her quickly and bring the Saint back."

"Pavilion Master, the Saint has a treasure left by the previous Pavilion Master."

"Blocking the secrets of heaven and transforming into a different figure, our people can't find the whereabouts of the Saint at all."

Hearing this, Wei Jiuxiao felt a pain in his balls.

In order to appease the people of Jiange, he had to do something in public after the death of the previous leader.

Therefore, on the surface, he did not break up with Pei Qingxuan, and was even very gentle to her.

Except for the Pavilion Master's token, all other relics were returned to Pei Qingxuan, his direct disciple.

This move indeed calmed the hearts of everyone in Jiange.

At first, Wei Jiuxiao was complacent.

Of course, he was not without defense.

All the treasures related to escape techniques were seized by him in the name of "dowry".

But unexpectedly, Pei Qingxuan still found the opportunity.

Now, Wei Jiuxiao feels a little regretful.

Shield the secrets and change your appearance.

With Pei Qingxuan's strength, if he escapes, it will be like a dragon entering the sea.

It would be difficult to find her in the vast crowd.

Wei Jiuxiao suddenly had a headache.

At this moment, a disciple from Jiange came to report.

"Pavilion Master, the Grand Elder of the Shenxiao Sect is here to visit."

"It looks like he's up to no good."

Wei Jiuxiao's heart sank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he lowered his head slightly, looked at the elder in green, and gave an order.

"Go find the Saint's whereabouts. You must bring her back to me within a month."

After giving the instructions, Wei Jiuxiao took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, walked out of the meditation room, and went to meet the Supreme Elder of the Shenxiao Sect.

……

The next day.

Fang Heng appeared in the eye of the Black Tortoise Formation as usual to inspect the repair work.

However, compared to his previous enthusiasm and concentration, Fang Heng was a little absent-minded today, and looked around the Xuanwu Formation carelessly.

Now, his thoughts were all focused on the Qilin Formation.

The pupil of the cave void array!

The divine eyes!

Two pupil techniques showed their power at the same time.

Through the barriers of numerous formations, Fang Heng once again observed the divine sea of ​​clouds in the center of the Qilin formation.

Rich and vast.

It's like an endless sea of ​​clouds.

There is almost no end in sight.

Anyone who sees this scene will be shocked by this vast and divine sea of ​​clouds.

Deep in the divine clouds.

That figure still exists.

Compared to what Fang Heng saw last night, there was no change.

Create a god!

The God-Slaying Formation, was the creation of God successful?

Did the god born in the divine sea of ​​clouds succeed?
Fang Heng was not clear about it.

He just saw this human-like existence.

As for whether it was successful?
What do you think of Daqian?
Is it really the evil god worshipped by Zhou Jueyin?

Fang Heng had no evidence at all, only speculation.

"Hey--"

Fang Heng sighed.

His father's ambiguous attitude meant that all he could do was to speculate.

"I don't know when this innate god will be born."

Fang Heng murmured in his heart.

He seemed to have seen that this innate god in the God-Slaying Formation would surely cause a bloody storm when he was born.

Several days followed.

Fang Heng has been observing the gods in the divine sea of ​​clouds.

Although there are not many changes every day, Fang Heng has discovered through observation over the past few days that the body of the innate god seems to be becoming more and more condensed.

In addition to always paying attention to the matters of the innate gods.

Fang Heng was still thinking about how to get the Three Lives Stone from the prince.

He had already found out that the prince had not used the Three Lives Stone after exchanging it.

In other words, the prince has the intact Three Lives Stone in his hands.

only……

His relationship with the prince is so-so.

They are not even as good as ordinary brothers in the world.

"This is such a headache!"

Fang Heng sighed.

At the same time, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the Daqian Dynasty at an astonishing speed.

The Saint of Jiange ran away from her marriage!
The marriage between Jiange and Shenxiao Sect has always been the focus of countless people's attention.

Although Wei Jiuxiao wanted to suppress the matter, he was completely unable to do so.

In less than three days, it spread throughout Daqian.

Jiange instantly became a laughing stock among the people.

The news that the Saint of Jiange had escaped from her marriage was like a blessing after a long drought for the imperial court.

The previous attack on Plum Garden brought shame to the imperial court.

Although public opinion in Yujing City was controlled, the situation outside Yujing City had already exploded.

Countless sect disciples and local tyrants were watching the imperial court's joke. Now that the news of the Sword Pavilion Saintess's escape from marriage had spread, it instantly attracted the attention of cultivators all over the world, indirectly helping to share the pressure on the imperial court.

East Palace.

The atmosphere was solemn.

The flickering candlelight in the hall illuminated the prince's gloomy face.

The prince sat in front of the desk, but he had not yet taken a bite of his favorite osmanthus cake.

If we say that the biggest loss was caused by the Sword Pavilion Saint's escape from marriage, the second biggest loss was caused by the Shenxiao Sect.

Then, the third one who suffered the greatest loss was the prince.

The prince had originally hoped that the Shenxiao Sect and Jiange would complete a marriage and tie Jiange to his own boat.

Unexpectedly, the Sword Pavilion Saintess's escape from marriage directly caused the relationship between Shenxiao Sect and Sword Pavilion to plummet to a freezing point.

There is no way to even talk about winning over Jiange.

This time, the prince suffered an unexpected disaster, which made him very depressed.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think I should do?"

"My second brother is pressing forward step by step and has even intervened in the Black Ice Platform."

The prince's voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with an impatience that was difficult to conceal.

His right leg kept tapping the ground in a rapid rhythm.

Mr. Wu, who was sitting opposite, stroked his beard and chuckled, looking calm and composed.

His eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if he had seen through everything.

He spoke slowly, his voice calm and steady:
"Your Highness, please be patient!"

"Not anxious? How could I not be anxious?"

"If I don't have a counterpart, how can I compete with my second brother?"

"Am I going to sit back and watch my second brother take my place and drive me out of the Eastern Palace?"

The prince's voice revealed a strong sense of impatience and anxiety.

Mr. Wu still looked calm, as if the prince's impatience had not affected him in the slightest.

He gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold.

Then he slowly put it down and looked at the prince calmly.

"I do have a plan that can resolve your highness's current predicament."

Upon hearing Mr. Wu's words, the prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

With a happy look on his face, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Mr. Wu, where does this come from?"

Mr. Wu smiled but said nothing, and did not directly answer the prince's question.

Instead, he stretched out his finger, lightly dipped it into the tea in the teacup, and then wrote the word "nine" on the table.

九？
Ninth brother?

The prince immediately understood Mr. Wu's plan.

Win over the ninth brother and use him for your own purposes.

only……

The prince's brows did not relax, but instead furrowed even deeper, forming a deep frown.

There was a hint of displeasure and deep confusion on his face.

Lao Jiu's power can be almost ignored.

But the army under the command of King Zhenbei should not be underestimated.

Shang Hongye chose Lao Jiu, which was really a good deal for him.

If you win over Old Nine, you will naturally win over the King of Zhenbei as well.

However, before Lao Jiu was crowned king, he was resentful of the Left Prime Minister's departure from the capital, so he only gave one thousand taels of silver as a gift.

This gift of one thousand taels is naturally a huge sum of money for an ordinary family.

But for princes like them, this was a blatant slap in the face.

It can be said that because of the gift issue, even if he and Lao Jiu did not completely break up, they were almost at the end of their relationship.

Now he is asked to take the initiative to recruit Fang Heng, how can he bring himself to do it?

He is the Crown Prince of Daqian, the heir apparent of a country!

Mr. Wu understood the prince's thoughts clearly.

He did not urge him, but just sat quietly, smiling without saying a word, waiting for the prince to make a decision.

In the end, the prince has to let go of things like face himself.

If the prince himself can't pass that test, then...

He had no choice but to give it a push.

"Mr. Wu, this matter...will be discussed later!"

After hesitating for a long time, the prince still couldn't make up his mind and could only speak perfunctorily.

Mr. Wu sighed slightly in his heart, stood up, bowed, and said.

"Your Highness, you were previously instigated by a villain, which alienated the brotherly relationship between you and His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"If Your Majesty knew, what would you think?"

Upon hearing this, the prince's expression changed slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He clenched the teacup in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force. It seemed that in this short moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Your Highness, please deal with this villain and then give Your Highness a generous gift."

"If His Majesty saw this, he would surely be very pleased that you two are living in harmony with each other."

Mr. Wu continued, saying that these words gave the prince enough face and a way out.

The matter of the one thousand taels of silver is not the prince’s fault!

It was a villain who was trying to sow discord, and you, Prince, were just careless for a moment.

After hearing what Mr. Wu said, the prince's face changed slightly, and his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

"Mr. Wu is absolutely right!"

"It was these treacherous villains who misled me and caused a rift between me and my ninth brother."

"But, Mr. Wu, what kind of generous gift do you think I should give you in return?"

Seeing that the prince had changed his mind, Mr. Wu nodded slightly.

As for the generous gifts?

He had already found out everything long before he entered the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince once wanted to exchange the Three Life Stones from the royal treasury, but he was unable to obtain them."

"If Your Highness is willing to bear the pain and let go of your love, the Ninth Prince will surely feel your sincerity."

"In a few days, it will be the seventh day after Chu Xiaoye's death."

"The Ninth Prince will certainly go to pay his respects."

"When the time comes, in front of everyone, Your Highness, if you offer the Three Lives Stone to the Ninth Prince, he will definitely not be able to refuse."

Three life stones!
The prince was stunned for a moment. There was indeed a Three Lives Stone in the East Palace storehouse.

He originally wanted to ask Master Xu to come and refine a valuable treasure for his general Lu Zangfeng in order to win people's hearts.

It’s just that Master Xu was refining a treasure and couldn’t get away for the time being.

Therefore, the matter of refining the treasure was delayed, and the Three Lives Stone was not used.

Using the Three Lives Stone to win over the ninth brother is a brilliant idea!

The most important thing is that when Chu Xiaoye was on the seventh day after his death, there must have been spies from his father.

By then, my brotherly and respectful behavior will surely be praised by my father.

After figuring it all out, the prince nodded slightly and sighed.

"Mr. Wu, you are truly a lonely dragon and phoenix!"

……

A few days later.

On the seventh day after Chu Xiaoye's death, Fang Heng went to pay his respects wearing a dragon robe.

The gate of the Chu Mansion was covered in white.

A white banner was hung on the vermilion gate.

The banner fluttered in the wind, making a low rustling sound.

The lanterns on the door lintel were also changed to white.

The faint candlelight shining through the white paper seems particularly cold and lonely.

Ever since the death of the great general Chu Xiaoye, the entire Chu family has been plunged into sorrow and grief.

The Chu family, a new elite in Daqian, started to prosper from Chu Xiaoye's generation.

Their background is far inferior to that of the founding heroes such as the Twenty-Four Heroes of Yuntai Pavilion.

It can be said that Chu Xiaoye is the pillar of the entire Chu family.

After Chu Xiaoye's death, the entire Chu family began to decline.

He can't even produce a third-rank general.

But even so, there was still a constant stream of traffic in front of the Chu Mansion.

It formed a sharp contrast with the lonely and desolate atmosphere of the Chu family.

Today is the seventh day after Chu Xiaoye's death. Anyone with a bit of dignity has come to pay their respects.

The purpose of the condolence is to give face to the Chu family.

The most important thing is not to fall behind in the eyes of Emperor Yuanchu.

There are four things that are hotly debated in Yujing City today.

The first one was naturally the story of the Sword Pavilion Saintess running away from her marriage, which had spread almost everywhere in the streets and alleys and was known to everyone.

Just by going to a teahouse, you can hear more than a dozen different versions.

It is said that the Saint of Jiange escaped from her marriage for love.

Some also said that the Taoist disciple of the Shenxiao Sect was so ugly that he scared away the Holy Maiden of the Jiange Sect.

As for the real reason, ordinary people naturally have no idea.

Only the upper echelons of the imperial court vaguely sensed that this matter might be related to the civil unrest and fighting in Jiange.

The second is the investigation of the Meiyuan case and who is Zhou Jueyin's true identity.

The third is the restoration of the God-Slaying Formation.

As for the last thing, it is related to Chu Xiaoye.

Chu Xiaoye is the commander of the Five Cities Divine Forbidden Army.

After his death, a new commander must be chosen.

The Five Cities Divine Forbidden Army, who control the God-Slaying Formation, is an extremely powerful force in Yujing City.

Therefore, the competition for the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Five Cities has already reached a fever pitch in the court.

Not to mention who the candidates are.

There is still debate over how many people to promote.

Chu Xiaoye is not only the commander of the five cities, but also one of the thirty-six divine generals.

These are two different identities.

A minister suggested that a divine general be selected directly from among the veteran martial artists to concurrently serve as the commander of the five cities.

This is one spot.

Some ministers also suggested that the Five Cities Commander and the Divine General should be two different positions and should not be combined.

Select one person from among the existing generals to serve as the commander of the five cities.

In addition, select another veteran martial arts master and promote him to the rank of divine general.

In short, the two statements were debated endlessly in the court.

Today, the Chu Mansion is offering condolences, and the positions of the Five Cities Commander and the Divine General undoubtedly touch the hearts of everyone present.

After lighting a stick of incense in front of Chu Xiaoye's tablet, Fang Heng left the mourning hall.

As soon as I walked out of the mourning hall, a eunuch came running towards me.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince invites you."
