Chapter 85 I've Found You (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing Wei Xun's report, Xiao Mo realized that another twenty days had passed since Wei Xun last informed the elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect about the progress.

Xiao Mo frowned: "Why did the elders of the Myriad Swords Sect arrive nine days later than expected?"

"Your Majesty, it is like this," Wei Xun replied. "I heard that Elder Huang felt that he did not bring any gifts and it would be inappropriate to meet Your Majesty, so Elder Huang took a slightly roundabout route to West Beast Mountain to retrieve a demon core from a fourth-grade ferocious beast, which he specially presented to Your Majesty."

"I see." Xiao Mo nodded. "Elder Huang is really thoughtful."

Human and demon cultivators are divided into different realms.

The ferocious beasts are divided into grades, each corresponding to one of the nine realms of cultivators.

The strength of a fourth-grade ferocious beast is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Go prepare the carriage. I'm going to bathe and change. Just wait for me at Qingquan Palace." Xiao Mo waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will go and prepare for Your Majesty immediately." Wei Xun hurriedly tried to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something and called out to Wei Xun.

"Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?" Wei Xun asked respectfully, bowing his head.

"How is Wang Can, the Vice Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate?"

Wang Can secretly entered the palace to discuss eliminating the traitors, but was discovered by Yan Shan'ao and subsequently demoted to Lingnan.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Wang Can relentlessly hurled insults at Yan Shan'ao, never once backing down.

He was truly a loyal subject.

Moreover, Wang Can's name is the same as the old village chief's name in the book of a hundred generations.

The old village chief treated him very well, which made Xiao Mo feel a special kind of closeness to Wang Can.

"Your Majesty," Wei Xun said with a complicated expression, "Lord Wang should have already arrived in Lingnan and taken up his post."

"Okay." Xiao Mo nodded. "Go and prepare some people to secretly go to Lingnan and have them stay by Wang Can's side day and night. Make sure he is safe. Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this old servant knows that, aside from anything else, I will definitely ensure that Lord Wang's life is safe."

"Well go ahead."

Xiao Mo waved his hand.

Although he was a puppet emperor, it didn't mean he had no capable people; it was just that most of the imperial relatives had been transferred out of the capital.

However, protecting Wang Can, who is far away in Lingnan, is still something that can be done.

After Wei Xun took his leave, Xiao Mo went to Qingquan Palace to take a bath, and then changed into a dragon robe with the help of a maid.

When Xiao Mo came out, Wei Xun had already prepared the dragon carriage.

"Let's depart the palace!"

As Wei Xun's hoarse voice rang out, several unicorn red-blooded horses pulled the dragon carriage forward, with two rows of maids following behind.

As Xiao Mo left the palace, soldiers from the Jingzhao Prefecture were maintaining order on Xuanwu Street. Officials followed behind the imperial carriage, with only Yan Shan'ao riding a horse a little behind the carriage.

Upon arriving at the north gate of the imperial city, numerous officials stood ready to welcome the arrival of the immortal master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

At the same time, less than five miles from the capital of Zhou, Jiang Qingyi and her two companions had already landed from the sky.

In the mortal world, there is an unwritten rule.

That is, when a sect's envoy goes to visit the imperial capital of a dynasty, if the emperor greets you outside, you must stop five miles away and then walk to the capital as a sign of respect.

Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is one of the top ten sects in the world, even if they ignore this etiquette when meeting a small country like Zhou, the other side wouldn't dare to say anything.

However, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has always prioritized "rules first, then swordsmanship."

"Sect Master, do you...do you want to personally go on a diplomatic mission to the Zhou Kingdom?" Elder Huang Wei looked at the veiled Sect Master beside him with a guilty conscience, and spoke hesitantly.

The main problem is that Huang Wei really can't figure out what the sect leader is thinking.

Huang Wei was just one of the many elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, thinking that he could take a small country as a subordinate so that he could gain some benefits from it.

But to everyone's surprise, the sect leader followed.
It's fine as long as the sect leader comes along.

As a result, the sect leader covered his face with a veil, pretending to be an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and came down the mountain to broaden his horizons.
The Zhou Kingdom received him with great courtesy, but the patriarch stood aside.

How could I dare to do that?
"unnecessary."

Jiang Qingyi spoke coldly, altering her voice with spiritual power. The veil was also a magical artifact; unless someone's cultivation level was higher than hers, no one could see her face beneath the veil.

"Just do what you're supposed to do. I'm just an ordinary inner disciple. Don't reveal my identity, understand?"

"It is Zong."

Just as Huang Wei was about to bow, his gaze met the sect leader's cold, narrowed eyes, and he shuddered in fright. He quickly changed his words, his strong survival instinct immediately putting him into character.

"Don't worry, Jiang Rou and Qiu Ye. You've been cultivating on the mountain. This trip down the mountain will give you a chance to experience the customs and culture of the mortal world."

Seeing Huang Wei's embarrassed look, Qiu Ye's lips curled up.

Jiang Qingyi walked straight ahead: "Then let's hurry up."

"That's great!"

Elder Huang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly followed.

About an incense stick's time later, Huang Wei and his two companions came into the sight of the Zhou officials.

"Your Majesty, the immortal master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has arrived."

Yan Shan'ao dismounted, cupped his hands, bowed, and greeted His Majesty in the carriage.

The reason he lowered his stance was mainly because he needed to put on a show in front of the civil and military officials.

"Yes." Xiao Mo nodded from inside the carriage. "Then let's welcome the Immortal Master."

"It's Your Majesty."

Yan Shan'ao straightened up and led the civil and military officials to quickly greet the elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

According to the etiquette of the Zhou state, the prime minister and all the officials would always greet him.

Then the emperor alighted from his carriage and met with him.

"This humble official greets Elder Huang." Yan Shan'ao stepped forward and quickly bowed, his obsequious manner making the other officials somewhat uncomfortable.

It seemed as if Elder Huang was the true emperor of Zhou, while Yan Shan'ao was like a dog wagging its tail in front of Elder Huang.

"You're too kind, Prime Minister." Elder Huang smiled and helped him up. "I'm a little late, please don't take offense, Prime Minister."

"How could I dare? Elder Huang's willingness to overlook the small size of my Zhou Kingdom's temple is a great honor for my Zhou Kingdom." Yan Shan'ao said with a smile, then noticed the two women behind Elder Huang. "And who are these two fairies?"

"Oh, this is an inner disciple of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect. He came down the mountain for training and just happened to come with me to see the mortal world," Elder Huang explained naturally. "Where is His Majesty?"

"His Majesty has come to greet Elder Huang personally. Elder Huang, this way please." Yan Shan'ao hurriedly led Elder Huang toward the imperial carriage.

Just as they approached...
Several palace maids pulled back the carriage curtain, and with Wei Xun's help,

Xiao Mo slowly walked out.

Jiang Qingyi, who was originally nonchalant, was still thinking about having Zhou Guo go and find the person she wanted.

But when she saw the emperor walking towards her, her pupils suddenly contracted.
