Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 128 The Demonic Embryos Join Forces, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities

Qianmian rarely spoke up for Emperor Yongchang: "How can they be the same? Your exam was an open-book exam, while Emperor Yongchang's was a closed-book exam."

The King of Jiujiang didn't take it to heart: "Qianmian, people judge heroes by victory and defeat. The victor is king, the loser is villain. I thought you understood this principle."

A thousand faces cannot be refuted.

The winner is always right.

"Besides, do you think that even if I didn't know about your dealings with Cao Fuhu, I wouldn't be able to guard against you?"

King Jiujiang fixed his gaze on Qianmian, his expression one of complete confidence: "You've forgotten, you taught me how to disguise myself. You can't hide from me."

Thousand Faces sneered, "Then why don't you release me and we try again?"

"I wouldn't mind playing along with you, but I don't have the time right now."

The King of Jiujiang was not blinded by victory.

He only won a small victory against Emperor Yongchang; what he was aiming for was a big, decisive victory.

"In the end, you're still afraid of me." Thousand Faces sneered as before.

The Prince of Jiujiang spoke frankly: "You're overthinking it. You're just a pawn in the competition between me and my brother. Qianmian, you've never been in my heart."

Thousand Faces: "..."

I haven't been humiliated like this in a long time.

He was not Emperor Yongchang, so he harbored a deep grudge against the Prince of Jiujiang.

But the King of Jiujiang didn't take it seriously at all.

"Don't look at me like that, Thousand Faces. You don't actually think that just because you're listed among the four elders of the Demonic Sect like me, you can be on equal footing with me, do you? Demonic Sect elders? What are they?"

At this point, the King of Jiujiang exuded an air of dominance: "If it weren't for using this identity to do things that are inconvenient for me, why would I condescend to associate with you rebels?"

Clearly, the King of Jiujiang not only looked down on Qianmian, but also on the Demonic Sect.

Humiliated once again, Qianmian had to retaliate: "Eating from the bowl, then cursing the cook. Scraping the bone... no, Jiujiang, you really are that kind of two-faced villain."

The King of Jiujiang laughed out loud: "I have never eaten the food of your Demonic Sect. I have always served the imperial court. The Demonic Sect... is nothing but a chamber pot. When the Nine Heavens need it, they borrow it. When I need it, I borrow it too. Apart from a few lunatics, who would really think that the Demonic Sect can achieve anything great? Thousand Faces, don't tell me that you really think the Demonic Sect can succeed?"

The thousand-faced fist has hardened.

But there was nothing to say.

The more people at the bottom of a cult believe, the more convinced they are of it; the higher up in a cult, the more clear-headed they are.

Not to mention that King Jiujiang scoffed at the so-called Maitreya's descent into the world, even Qianmian himself left a way out for the chosen lineage.

A true fanatic wouldn't do something like this.

"Thousand Faces, do you want to live or die?" King Jiujiang asked.

"nonsense."

"Then work for me."

The King of Jiujiang activated his recruitment skill.

A thousand faces are nothing in his eyes.

However, in his eyes, the ability to use a thousand faces was indeed outstanding.

"You have twice severely injured my elder brother, which shows that you are particularly adept at dealing with him. I am eager to find talented people, Qianmian. Rather than waiting for that illusory Maitreya, why not follow me and find another way out? I am also of the Xia family bloodline and the eldest son of the retired emperor. If my elder brother can sit on this throne, so can I."

Qianmian knew he was a prisoner and should bow his head.

But he couldn't help himself: "Can you stop making me laugh? You, an emperor? A promiscuous emperor?"

This time, it was King Jiujiang's turn to have a firm grip on power.

Qianmian continued, "Although I look down on Emperor Yongchang, at least he always targets the beautiful women on the list of beauties. What about you? You're indiscriminate in your desires, you even went after Cao Fuhu. If the throne of Yu the Great were handed to you, the ancestors of the Xia family would be so angry they'd come back to life."

"enough."

The King of Jiujiang's face turned ashen.

Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.

The reason why the King of Jiujiang was so angry was that everything Qianmian said was true.

But the truth is the most important thing that should not be said.

"What do you evil heretics know? Now that I am the emperor, my words carry the law and all negative news about me will disappear."

"Stop deceiving yourself. Heaven is watching what people do, and it won't disappear."

Qianmian went all out.

As a demonic elder on par with the Bone-Scraping Knife, Thousand Faces was willing to bow to the Heavenly Eye from another system, but not to the Bone-Scraping Knife from another system.

Preferring to kneel before outsiders rather than engage in internal strife—this is a "fine tradition" that has existed since ancient times, and is not a characteristic unique to Qianmian.

Moreover, he truly could not accept the idea of ​​a ruthless emperor, as it directly tarnished the ultimate goal he had strived for in the first half of his life.

"I admit that I was indeed defeated by you this time, failing to ascertain your identity. But are you sure that no one else knows your true identity? The Nine Heavens have been watching the Demonic Sect for quite some time now, and as for the Bone-Scraping Knife, do you think the Nine Heavens also don't know your identity?" Thousand Faces sneered.

He thought to himself that Jiutian probably didn't know, at least not even Shanxin.

However, there was also an information gap between the King of Jiujiang and him.

With Qianmian speaking so confidently, and given Jiutian's renowned reputation, the King of Jiujiang was indeed being vague.

However, it was only vague.

The King of Jiujiang was not afraid: "It doesn't matter if you know. It involves the struggle between the royal families. Apart from the chosen one, no other lineage in Jiutian will participate, including the Empress. No one will deliberately target me."

"Nine Heavens is just saying it; do you really believe they'll remain neutral?" Thousand Faces questioned.

The King of Jiujiang pointed out, "So you heretics just don't understand. Within the imperial court, there are some rules that cannot be broken. The Nine Heavens would not ruin their foundation built over thousands of years just because of me. Otherwise, why do you think the Nine Heavens haven't investigated me for Suo Yuan Chu's matter until now?"

Based on the King of Jiujiang's understanding of Jiutian, it's certain that Suo Yuanchu is now one of his men.

But the King of Jiujiang didn't take it seriously.

Because he knew how the imperial court system worked.

Jiutian will capture Suo Yuanchu and kill him without mercy, but he will sever all ties between Suo Yuanchu and him.

Between Suo Yuanchu and him, there was a thick barrier in the Nine Heavens.

Neither the Nine Heavens nor the King of Jiujiang will willingly break through this thick barrier.

This was a tacit understanding between them, and also a safety net that the royal family left for themselves at the beginning of Yu the Great's founding of the country.

“Even my royal brother wouldn’t order Jiutian to deal with me; he would only have Cao Fuhu do it. Otherwise, why do you think I only targeted Cao Fuhu and didn’t seduce Tianjian? The way the imperial court operates is different from your demonic sect; we have our own rules.”

Qianmianmu looked confused: "What happened to Suo Yuanchu?"

"I forgot that you don't know about Lianshan Jingcheng."

King Jiujiang realized that Qianmian and Lianshan Xin were mortal enemies and would not communicate with each other.

From the perspective of the King of Jiujiang, Qianmian's approach to him this time was in accordance with his agreement with Cao Fuhu.

"Fine, none of this concerns you. Thousand Faces, I cherish your talent. Don't you really want to serve me?"

Qianmian remained calm.

Although he sensed the murderous intent emanating from the King of Jiujiang, and the King of Jiujiang did indeed have the ability to kill him, Qianmian realized that if the King of Jiujiang wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need to waste so much time talking.

When someone is of great value, even the enemy is reluctant to let them die.

A person with a thousand faces is like that.

If you use the Thousand Faces technique properly, even Emperor Yongchang will feel a chill run down his spine.

How could the King of Jiujiang bear to kill him?
After thinking it through, Qianmian knew how to respond: "Guagu, you and I are both elders of the Demonic Sect, yet you are not qualified to have me pledge allegiance. But I don't want to die. A wise man submits to circumstances. You are right, I have lost this time, and I accept my defeat. I am willing to cooperate with you, or you can give me a convincing reason to defect. Your current status, ability, and spirit are not enough to convince me."

"Then how about you help my son Xunyang?"

The King of Jiujiang also took a step back.

Qianmian seemed thoughtful: "'Chihu' Xia Xunyang? The top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he is indeed an unparalleled genius. You want to help him rise to the top? What about your eldest son?"

"The throne changes hands, and the capable shall rule. Xunyang is more outstanding, so I will naturally choose Xunyang," the King of Jiujiang said without hesitation.

Qianmian nodded slightly.

“Thousand Faces, you now know the inside story of the Kuangshan incident. Xunyang has indeed received the Emperor's orders and is heading towards Kuangshan. If Xunyang obtains this opportunity for immortality, combined with his identity and my assistance, his future will be limitless. Isn't working for Xunyang more promising than serving the Demonic Sect?” King Jiujiang asked.

Qianmian had to admit that what the King of Jiujiang said made some sense.

Not only is it more promising than the Demonic Sect, but it even seems to have a better future than following the Lianshan Cult.

However, Lianshan Xin's Heavenly Eye is more effective at controlling Qianmian.

Having personally experienced the terror of Lianshan Xin, and repeatedly so, he had planted an insurmountable seed in Qianmian's heart.

In comparison, although Xia Xunyang, the "Chihu", is also quite outstanding, he is not as intimidating to Qianmian as Lianshan Xinqiang.

Under normal circumstances, people will only submit to those who are stronger than themselves.

However, Qianmian naturally wouldn't share these thoughts with the King of Jiujiang.

He feigned interest and made his request: "If Xia Xunyang were to become my disciple, I might consider it."

King Jiujiang burst into laughter.

He knew that Qianmian was about to back down gracefully.

Grandmasters need to save face.

He gave me that face.

"When Xunyang arrives, I will speak with him myself. But until then, I will have to trouble you."

Thousand Faces nodded slightly and asked a question that puzzled him: "There is something I don't understand. Didn't you previously operate in Florida on the orders of the leader?"

The King of Jiujiang laughed again: "I have to thank you for this, Thousand Faces. You personally taught me how to disguise myself. I must admit that you are the best in the world in this regard."

Thousand Faces: "..."

The disciple starved his master.

The ancients are not deceived by me.

"Besides, the leader is in seclusion every day. He wants me to go to Florida to manage things, so why would I go? If I leave the Demonic Sect, who will pay attention to that leader? I've said it before, your Demonic Sect will never amount to anything. The leader knows nothing about what I'm doing in Florida."

Qianmian let out a long sigh.

Although he wasn't entirely confident that the Demonic Sect would succeed, he still had some confidence.

Now that the King of Jiujiang has revealed his identity, almost all his last bit of confidence has vanished.

The four elders have always been in charge of expanding the territory of the Demonic Sect.

Now, of the four elders, Blood Guanyin is dead, and the Bone-Scraping Knife is the King of Jiujiang. Thousand Faces knows that the Demonic Sect is on the verge of collapse.

We can't expect the Peacock King, who's in charge of military force, to do everything himself.

Not to mention that the king wouldn't do it, even if he did, he might not be able to do it well.

Having strong capabilities and having strong practical skills are two different things.

“Thousand Faces, I might as well tell you that Mount Ling actually supports me as well.” King Jiujiang revealed a secret.

But Qianmian scoffed: "Don't treat me like a fool like Xue Guanyin. Even if Lingshan really supports you, you won't tell me."

King of Jiujiang: "..."

It is justifiable and irrefutable.

“At most, Mount Ling will place a bet on you. Buddhist sects have always been willing to place bets in multiple directions. It’s not unusual.” Thousand Faces sneered, “Or you could personally offer your body as alms, using your beauty to… no, your handsome man to turn some Vajra of Mount Ling against you.”

The King of Jiujiang couldn't take it anymore: "Enough."

"It seems I guessed right. Your skill in recruiting trusted confidants is truly remarkable. Who would have thought that the number one bodhisattva in the world is actually a man, and a prince at that."

Qianmian still feels like cursing when she gets to this point.

He felt that he was truly not at fault this time.

Who could have imagined that the King of Jiujiang could be so perverted?

"Does the Princess of Jiujiang know your identity?" Qianmian asked.

The King of Jiujiang's face darkened: "This is not a question you should be asking."

"Just out of curiosity, purely out of curiosity."

Qianmian has never seen a woman more fiery than a bone-scraping knife in his entire life.

It's hard to imagine how the Princess Consort of Jiujiang and the Prince of Jiujiang got along.

King Jiujiang did not intend to explain to Qianmian.

He immediately changed the subject: "Before I see Xunyang, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"What is it? I'm not yours yet." Qianmian tried her best to maintain her personal independence.

But in the eyes of the King of Jiujiang, Qianmian was just a hypocrite who wanted to have her cake and eat it too.

He wouldn't give Qianmian that chance, and directly ordered, "I have invited Lianshan Jingcheng to the palace. Go and observe his identity. I suspect that he may very well be Jiang Ping'an."

"what?"

"I only have suspicions, and I need you to verify them. Remember, you are only here to observe him, not to kill him. His safety cannot be compromised. If necessary, you will also be responsible for protecting him," the King of Jiujiang solemnly reminded him.

Qianmian asked with some confusion, "Why can't we kill Lianshan Jingcheng?"

"I invited Lianshan Jingcheng to the palace to restrain Lianshan Xin. If I kill him, what will I use to restrain him? Besides, it's not a big problem for me to ask the family of the rising star of the Nine Heavens to treat a patient, but if I kill them, it will give the Nine Heavens a reason to intervene. The Nine Heavens' neutrality is only when no one provokes them."

King Jiujiang would certainly not deliberately provoke Jiutian.

Therefore, he needs to control the degree in what he does.

Right now, he's only provoking Lian Shanxin. As long as Lian Shanjingcheng doesn't die, it won't escalate to the point of provoking the Nine Heavens.

Qianmian found it amusing: "It's not very interesting for a prince to be so afraid of everything."

"What do you know? Even my royal brother can't do whatever he wants. The strong are not unscrupulous, but know how to use the rules. The indulgence of the Demonic Sect is a petty trick. I act within the rules, which is the way of the king."

"A benevolent act of 'whoever sleeps with anyone'?"

"Qianmian, your vision is too narrow. Go and get to work."

King Jiujiang originally wanted to tell Qianmian to get lost, but felt that saying it would be too hurtful to Qianmian, so he gave a more tactful order to leave.

Even when he offended the King of Jiujiang, Qianmian merely smiled slightly.

After a while.

Qianmian met Lianshan Jingcheng.

"Who are you? Are you trying to use your beauty to seduce me?"

Upon seeing the "concubine," Lian Shan Jingcheng immediately crossed his arms and became wary.

Qianmian stared intently at Lianshan Jingcheng. He was genuinely curious about Lianshan Jingcheng.

To be precise, he was very curious about both Lian Shanjingcheng and He Miaoyin.

Now that he was sharing a room with Lianshan Jingcheng, he had no intention of working for the King of Jiujiang, but he was very interested in exploring Lianshan Jingcheng's identity.

"Does the honey trap work?" Qianmian asked seriously.

Lian Shan Jingcheng angrily said, "I am devoted to my wife."

"Does the 'handsome man' trick work?" Thousand Faces asked earnestly as always.

Lian Shan Jingcheng: "?"

……

The fourth day after the Dragon Prince Raised His Head.

Lianshanxin did not wait for Qianmian.

But then a letter arrived.

"Young master, someone has brought this for you."

This time, the one delivering the letter to Lianshan was the real Du Jiu.

Lian Shanxin's expression changed slightly when he saw the signature on the envelope: "A letter from Suo Yuanchu?"

"I don't know, I didn't open it. But I've checked it, and the letter is safe."

Lian Shanxin nodded.

However, I still put on a pair of gloves before I started opening the letter.

Du Jiu's eyelids twitched upon seeing this scene.

Why didn't he think of this method?

Young Master is indeed cautious.

I need to continue to study hard.

Lian Shanxin's expression darkened slightly after opening the envelope.

The envelope contained a letter from Lian Shan Jingcheng.

In short, he was going out to visit friends and would return in half a month, so he didn't need to worry.

"Please invite Scholar Qi over."

"Yes."

Soon, Qi Shiyun appeared in Lian Shanxin's room.

Lian Shan Xin handed the letter to Qi Shi Yun.

After reading it, Qi Shiyun asked first, "Is it your father's handwriting?"

"Yes, there are many details in my father's handwriting that cannot be faked. Also, look at the second character in the second line, the third character in the third line, and the fourth character in the fourth line."

"Jiu, Jiang, Wang... Axin, is your uncle really just an ordinary doctor?"

Qi Shiyun was stunned after reading it.

"An ordinary doctor can write a letter home with this level of skill? I thought only our spies from Nine Heavens had this ability. Uncle's letter is written with the style of someone from Nine Heavens."

As a secret service agency, Jiutian naturally knew how to write secret letters.

In Qi Shiyun's view, this letter was a typical secret letter.

They secretly revealed everything that needed to be revealed.

Lian Shanxin explained, "This should have nothing to do with the Nine Heavens. I used to teach my father how to write acrostic poems."

Qi Shiyun gave Lian Shanxin a thumbs up: "Ah Xin, you knew how to write acrostic poems when you were a child. You are a born bad seed."

"Qi Tanhua, what are you saying?"

“Ahem, I meant that you are destined to be one of the Nine Heavens, the chosen one.” Qi Shiyun corrected her grammatical error in time: “Judging from Uncle’s letter, there is no need to worry about his safety for the time being. The King of Jiujiang is not a fool; he is more worried about Uncle’s safety than you are right now.”

Lian Shanxin nodded.

The Nine Heavens will give the King of Jiujiang face, provided that the King of Jiujiang doesn't cross the line. If Lian Shan Jingcheng really gets into trouble, the King of Jiujiang's entire family will be executed.

Thinking of this, Lian Shanxin suddenly had a worry: "What if His Majesty sends assassins to kill my father..."

Qi Shiyun was also startled: "Then Jiutian will probably just go with the flow and raze the Jiujiang Prince's Mansion to the ground. However, His Majesty is far away in the capital and doesn't have time to issue this order. Once His Majesty reacts, we'll have to see how the Kuangshan matter is handled. In the end, everything started with Kuangshan and will end with the fate of the immortals in Kuangshan."

Lian Shanxin nodded slightly: "There is one more thing, Qianmian has not returned."

"what?"

Qi Shiyun was startled.

"Qianmian has fallen?"

"I don't know, but there's a chance. Back in Shenjing City, Qianmian also suffered a setback at Princess Wenxi's residence. If I hadn't saved him, he would have died that time. Although Qianmian's abilities are very strong, he is not absolutely invincible, especially since Qianmian's current strength is quite weak."

If Qianmian were at his peak, Lian Shanxin would not believe he could be defeated at the Jiujiang Prince's Mansion.

However, even the current Qianmian might not be able to defeat Lianshanxin.

Lian Shanxin didn't really have that much confidence in Qianmian.

However, since it concerns Lian Shan Jingcheng, Lian Shan Xin will definitely choose to let Qianmian take the risk.

"The King of Jiujiang hid it so well?" Qi Shiyun was somewhat surprised.

Lian Shanxin agreed: "Even His Majesty couldn't capture Qianmian. If the Prince of Jiujiang really did, then he certainly has something. Qi Tanhua, a genuine prince, can he really help you advance to the Grandmaster level?"

"That's probably not enough; the King of Jiujiang's status isn't that high."

"But that's enough for me to advance to Grandmaster."

"That's more than enough," Qi Shiyun assured.

Thus, Lian Shanxin completely determined his cultivation materials.

"Ah Xin, it seems that the King of Jiujiang is not so easy to deal with. If Xia Xunyang is added to the mix, we are likely to be at a disadvantage this time. We need to find more people to help us."

"No rush, Scholar Qi. I only invited you here this time because I wanted us to have a heart-to-heart talk first."

Qi Shiyun's heart stirred.

Is Ashin going to confront me?
She guessed correctly.

"Qi Tanhua, although my father seems to be out of danger now, it concerns my family, and I want to resolve this issue quickly and decisively. Therefore, I hope that the two of us can cooperate sincerely. I believe that as long as we join forces, neither the King of Jiujiang nor Xia Xunyang are worthless and easily defeated."

Sensing Lian Shanxin's confidence, Qi Shiyun asked softly, "Given their status and strength, can the two of us win?"

“It’s a guaranteed win.”

"why?"

"How can two mere dragons possibly contend with a third of Maitreya's power?"

Hearing Lian Shanxin say it directly, Qi Shiyun smiled: "You found out from my mother?"

Lian Shanxin nodded: "Yes, Qi Tanhua has 'telepathy', right?"

"Yes, let's get to know each other again, Tianyantong."

Qi Shiyun extended her delicate hand.

Lian Shanxin grasped Qi Shiyun's hand, then shook his head and said, "Qi Tanhua, it seems your 'telepathy' has its limitations. I don't have the ability to see into the future, but rather the ability to predict destiny."

Qi Shiyun was taken aback upon hearing this.

But after a moment, Qi Shiyun nodded and said, "The power of knowing past lives allows one to know the past karma of all beings and the reasons for their present or future retribution. Judging from your performance, A-Xin, that makes sense. As far as I know, the power of knowing past lives is divided into 'past causes' and 'future effects.' A-Xin, you only understand 'past causes'?"

Lian Shan thought with confidence that this round of honesty and openness had paid off.

Qi Shiyun knows more than Qianmian.

He, the one who possessed the power of destiny, only just learned about past causes and future effects.

However, Lian Shanxin nodded: "Yes, Qi Tanhua is indeed very intelligent. I have only grasped the 'past cause' so far, and I have not mastered it yet. I cannot see through the past of some people."

“That’s normal. You definitely can’t see through my past.” Qi Shiyun wasn’t surprised.

Lian Shanxin was not surprised: "It seems that Qi Tanhua's telepathy has no effect on me."

Qi Shiyun chuckled: "Yes, even if we are born with such supernatural powers, we still need to improve them later in life. After all, we are not the real Maitreya. Moreover, there is mutual defense among the demonic embryos. Ah Xin, do you know of a faster way besides improving our own strength to have a chance to improve our supernatural powers?"

Lian Shanxin said in a deep voice, "We kill and devour each other."

"So, are you planning to kill me?" Qi Shiyun asked.

"Qi Tanhua is joking."

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

“I was a little scared at first, but in the end I chose to trust Qi Tanhua.” A smile appeared on Lian Shanxin’s face: “I am not willing to entrust my life to others, but you are not just anyone.”

Qi Shiyun blushed slightly and awkwardly looked away: "It's best if even I don't believe it, the temptation is too great."

"There's another reason: I believe you, Qi Tanhua, don't want to become Maitreya either."

Qi Shiyun's red lips curled slightly: "Ah Xin, I didn't misjudge you. You really are not reconciled either."

Lian Shanxin said solemnly, "What Maitreya's descent? I am who I am, and you are who you are. What does the so-called great cause of the Demonic Sect have to do with us? If Maitreya dares to come, I will kill him just the same."

"Well said." Qi Shiyun exclaimed in admiration, "Ah Xin, you've hit the nail on the head. We really are kindred spirits."

Lian Shanxin said in a low voice, "We can also become a family."

"Don't use your position for personal gain, get down to business."

Qi Shiyun tried to keep the atmosphere serious: "Maitreya can only appear if all six supernatural powers are gathered. Ah Xin, you have the power of knowing past lives, and I have the power of knowing others' minds. As long as we pay close attention, I believe that other people who possess the six supernatural powers will not escape our sight. In fact, I already have a suspect in mind. But none of that matters now. Let's deal with the problems of the King of Jiujiang and Xia Xunyang first."

Lian Shanxin felt a warmth in his heart.

"Whether it's the King of Jiujiang or Xia Xunyang, they are enough to elevate you to the Grandmaster level, but neither is enough to elevate me to the Great Grandmaster level. So for now, we still need to focus on you. I need too many resources for advancement, and they are not qualified yet."

"I cannot express my gratitude, Scholar Qi. I would gladly repay your kindness with my own body in the future."

"You really know how to repay kindness."

Qi Shiyun glared at Lian Shanxin and then got back to business: "His Majesty has entrusted you with the important task of Kuangshan. You can't keep putting it off for too long. You must go to Kuangshan today. After all, the King of Jiujiang has a throne, and we can't just attack him directly. Since that's the case, we only have one choice."

“Xia Xunyang.” A cold glint flashed in Lian Shanxin’s eyes: “He arrested my father, so I killed his son. It’s only right and proper.”

“With me here, Xia Xunyang is no big problem. Capture Xia Xunyang and use him to exchange for your father’s safety. The King of Jiujiang has confidence in Xia Xunyang, but he doesn’t understand my current strength, let alone the talents of the two of us.”

From the perspective of the King of Jiujiang, Xia Xunyang, a Grandmaster, is the best in the world.

For the past few years, Qi Shiyun has always been overshadowed by Xia Xunyang.

Therefore, the King of Jiujiang did not regard others as a threat.

But the Qi Shiyun of today is not the Qi Shiyun of the past.

After killing Zeng Ningbing, Xia Xunyang was inherently two points weaker than Qi Shiyun.

Lian Shanxin pointed out another of his talents: "King Jiujiang didn't know about my relationship with Qianmian. He killed Xia Xunyang directly, and I can disguise myself as Xia Xunyang to get close to him."

Qi Shiyun's eyes lit up: "Indeed, it's possible. Ah Xin, if you kill Xia Xunyang, given Xia Xunyang's reputation and the extent of his involvement, you will surely become a Grandmaster. Becoming a Grandmaster alongside Xia Xunyang, and with the added power of the 'Myriad Manifestations True Scripture,' you can basically disguise Xia Xunyang quite convincingly. I've looked into Xia Xunyang's background before; he and the King of Jiujiang rarely see each other, often spending time together in the martial arts world. They definitely don't spend much time together."

"In that case, this plan is feasible."

"feasible."

The two looked at each other and felt a great sense of security from one another.

Lian Shanxin couldn't help but exclaim, "Shiyun, if you and I join forces, with our combined abilities of predestination and telepathy, we are a perfect match, invincible under heaven."

Qi Shiyun nodded subconsciously, then came to her senses and said, "Call him Tan Hua (third-place scholar)."

"Alright, Shiyun, if you see Xia Xunyang in Kuangshan later, don't be shy, just sense his thoughts. I won't be shy either, I'll make sure this 'Chihu' has nowhere to hide in our eyes. By the way, Shiyun, do you have any shortcuts to improve his mind-reading ability? If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."

Qi Shiyun said helplessly, "You can't help."

"why?"

"I've concluded that the shortcut to improving one's ability to read minds is to win a woman's heart. Making men admire me is so easy; I don't need any supernatural powers at all."

Lianshanxin: "..."

Is this "telepathy" legitimate?

"And you? Do you have any shortcuts to improving your ability to predict destiny?"

"Reputation, the higher my reputation, the clearer my destiny becomes."

Qi Shiyun was somewhat out of sorts: "Why is your shortcut to improving your supernatural powers so serious?"

Lian Shanxin thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a decent person."

Qi Shiyun wanted to hit someone.

"So, Shiyun, you knew about Zhuo Biyu being a spy for the Demonic Cult through his telepathic abilities?"

"Yes."

"When we first met, Lin Xiangwen was in love with Lord Tianjian. Did you already know that he was in love with you, or did you really not know?"

"I was unaware of it. Not everyone can trigger his mind-reading ability, and I would not intentionally use it on someone like Lin Xiangwen."

Lian Shanxin's eyes flashed.

That's similar to one's own talent; it can be triggered passively or used actively.

Am I really a prophet of destiny?
No, I should say, could I really be Maitreya?

Lian Shanxin was somewhat dazed.

“Ah Xin, since you need to enhance your reputation, you can’t keep a low profile on this trip to Kuangshan.”

"I didn't intend to keep a low profile. I just happen to be at Kuangshan, where I'll meet heroes from all over the world."

Lian Shanxin still has to thank Emperor Yongchang for putting him in the spotlight.

Many people already know that he will be the person in charge of the imperial court's mission to Kuangshan, and people from all walks of life have begun to focus their attention on him.

This also boosted Lian Shanxin's reputation.

"Tianyan Check" has been restored to use.

Just then, Zhuo Biyu pushed open the door and walked in: "Axin, breaking news, Xia Xunyang has arrived in Jiangzhou and will be at the foot of Kuangshan soon."

Lian Shanxin took a deep breath: "Then let's set off."

A confluence of events, a fierce battle, a clash about to erupt.

　An 8000-word chapter has been delivered. Thank you to "Drunk Holding a Bottle Cap" for the 700 Qidian Coins reward.
