Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 35 The Owner of the Fishpond
Lian Shanxin admitted that he was somewhat impulsive at that moment.

Complex problems have no simple solutions—Lian Shanxin understood this principle in his previous life.

But between two evils, choose the lesser one.

Lianshan Xin understood the principle that hesitation leads to chaos.

Both marrying the princess and killing the princess have their advantages and disadvantages, but Dai Yueying's self-destructive path led to the complete loss of Lian Shanxin's trust in her.

He wasn't Lao Ai; he wasn't confident he could seduce an empress dowager, nor was he confident he could seduce a princess from a celestial dynasty who came from a demonic sect and dared to plot against his parents right now.

Rather than risk the troubles of marrying Princess Shang, Lian Shanxin chose to act decisively.

Those who aspire to great things must avoid indecisiveness.

Even if you make some wrong choices, as long as you successfully reach the top in the future, great scholars will surely defend you.

It's a pity that Dai Yueying's value wasn't maximized.

Actually, Lianshan Xinben is capable.

"You harmed my parents, so I killed your cultivator—that aligns with my values. But if I were to touch you first and then kill you, I would be utterly depraved. Pursuing power doesn't mean losing all humanity for power; that would make me a slave to power."

Lian Shanxin felt the energy within his body gradually surging and rapidly growing stronger. Most importantly, he clearly felt that as the energy within his body surged, its destructive power also increased simultaneously, to the point that his meridians, which had already been completely opened, began to ache faintly again.

This should not have happened. The true energy condensed in the Qi Condensation Realm should not harm the cultivator.

Qi Shiyun's words echoed in Lian Shanxin's ears once again:

"Marrying the princess will guarantee your safety as a Grandmaster. Killing the princess... will help you quickly break through to the True Intent Realm and comprehend our lineage's most powerful and taboo technique, the 'Dragon-Slaying True Intent.' Then, your entire clan will be exterminated!"

Lian Shanxin had already realized: "The true energy in my body is transforming into the 'Dragon-Slaying True Intent.' The Dragon-Slaying True Intent is too powerful and its destructive force is too strong. I have just advanced and suddenly condensed the Dragon-Slaying True Intent. The speed of advancement has not kept up with the speed of the evolution of the true energy in my body. Simply put, I suddenly mastered the power of the True Intent Realm while I was in the Qi Condensation Realm, and I am a little overwhelmed."

This is a consequence of breaking through too quickly.

Few people encounter this kind of happy trouble.

Lian Shanxin had never experienced this in the past eighteen years.

But choices truly determine destiny.

Getting rich quick ultimately comes down to making a fortune through unexpected means.

Just like now.

After glancing at the neatly dressed Dai family father and daughter, Lian Shanxin turned and left.

Princess or demoness, they are all gone now.

His immediate priority is to go into seclusion and cultivate, so as to quickly raise his cultivation level to the True Intent Realm and fully master the True Intent of Dragon Slaying.

And he also had to try his best to persuade Qi Shiyun not to report him.

If possible, he could also try to seduce Qi Shiyun, but he estimated that Qi Shiyun would not give him that opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lian Shanxin felt heavy-hearted.

He has already received the benefits of killing the princess on the spot, and they will continue to be rewarded to him in the future.

However, the potential danger of murdering the princess also officially begins now.

"Son."

Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin bowed to Lian Shanxin as he emerged from the room.

Lian Shanxin nodded and asked directly, "Ninth Brother, Brother Qi, do you have any 'corpse-dissolving water' on you?"

"of course."

"Let's make Dai Fuzi and Dai Yueying look like they've been painted."

The "corpse-dissolving water" is something that even Shan Xin can make—it was taught by Lian Shan Jing Cheng.

Physicians are usually skilled at killing, including cleaning up the aftermath.

Having many skills is never a bad thing. Lian Shanxin had been learning medicine from Lian Shanxin Jingcheng since he was a child, but he spent as much time on martial arts as he did on medicine.

The main reason was that Lian Shanjingcheng said he had limited talent in medicine and did not force him to follow in his father's footsteps.

Lian Shanxin readily agreed, after all, he knew from his past life that "advising someone to study medicine is a sure way to be struck by lightning."

In terms of medical skills, Lian Shanxin was only at the level of an ordinary doctor in Jiangzhou. However, in areas such as "corpse-dissolving water" and "reasonable treatment of the dead," Lian Shanjingcheng "praised" that he had already surpassed his teacher.

Lianshan Xinquan took Lianshan Jingcheng's words as a sign of humility.

Lian Shanxin didn't bring the "corpse-dissolving water" with him this time. After all, he had just visited Bailudong Academy, and carrying that stuff would make him look like a terrorist, which didn't fit the academy's style. When they heard Lian Shanxin say, "Dissolve Master Dai and Dai Yueying," Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin were both stunned.

Even Du Jiu, who had a quick reflex, subconsciously swallowed and asked in shock, "Young Master, Dai Yueying... is dead?"

"Yes, his identity as a demonic cult member was exposed, and he committed suicide out of shame."

Du Jiu didn't believe Dai Yueying would commit suicide out of shame, but he dared not disbelieve it.

Qi Wenbin then realized that he had previously worried that Lian Shanxin would be too soft-hearted, but now it seemed that he didn't understand the meaning of "decisive and ruthless".

The two looked at each other and both noticed the awe in each other's eyes.

"Is there a problem?" Lian Shanxin asked calmly.

If these two say there's a problem, he'll have to replace them with two more bodyguards.

Fortunately, Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin were also qualified members of "Nine Heavens" and strictly carried out their superior's orders.

"no problem."

"I will go and persuade them."

Lian Shanxin nodded: "Since this involves the 'Blood Guanyin,' you shouldn't report it to your superiors yet. I'll report it to Qi Tanhua and Lord 'Heavenly Sword' privately."

"Your subordinate obeys (x2)"

Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin naturally dared not have any objections.

The current Lian Shanxin not only commands their respect through his methods, but even his mere presence exudes a sharp, intimidating aura. He is like a divine sword about to be drawn, its brilliance impossible to conceal.

Their intuition was correct, but they misunderstood the reasons.

Lian Shanxin's "Dragon-Slaying True Intent" within his body grew stronger and stronger, to the point that it leaked out, giving people the feeling of his sharp edge.

However, considering Lian Shanxin's age of eighteen and what he had just done, he perfectly fits the description of "young and impetuous".

Outsiders won't think much of it.

Lian Shanxin was only worried that Qi Shiyun would overthink things.

As for Qi Shiyun now... she is indeed overthinking things.

Inside the secluded room of Bailudong Academy.

Qi Shiyun originally just wanted to meditate casually.

Although Lian Shanxin has broken through two realms, she is now at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and the amount of "experience points" she needs to break through is enormous.

She didn't think Lian Shanxin could help her much.

This is true.

After digesting the gains from guiding Lian Shanxin to the Dao, Qi Shiyun pondered for a moment and muttered to herself, "There has been progress, but not much. However, Lian Shanxin has only just entered the Dao, so his potential is still great, and his future is promising... Hmm?"

Suddenly, Qi Shiyun felt her luck increase by one-tenth.

My mind was perfectly clear.

The mysteries that had been troubling her for so long began to dissipate at this moment.

She witnessed a completely new realm—the Domain Realm!

The boundless power of heaven and earth gradually rose from her hands and then swirled around her body.

Imperial Library.

"Heavenly Sword" was taken aback, quickly went into the courtyard, and looked in surprise in the direction of the secluded cultivation room.

"Shiyun... Normally she would have to wait at least another year to break through? How come she's showing signs of breaking through now? A Domain Realm level of twenty-four? Is that too scary? Doesn't that mean she has a chance to reach the Dharma Aspect stage before thirty?"

This is also a problem that Qi Shiyun is currently considering.

"What's going on? Who gave me a divine assist?"

"Which general is so brave?"

"It's definitely not Lian Shanxin; he's already given it all."

"Indeed, I am much smarter than my master. Casting a wide net and catching more fish is the right thing to do. Among the 91 chosen ones, if one door closes, another will open. Someone will always surprise me."

Qi Shiyun was secretly delighted and immediately eliminated the correct answer.
