Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

Mingyue Xin took out an exquisite token from her bosom and handed it to the general for inspection.

The token was engraved with intricate patterns, and a dazzling gemstone was set in the center, shining brightly in the sunlight; it was clearly no ordinary item.

After carefully examining the token and confirming that it was genuine, the general quickly bowed and said, "This humble general was blind and offended our honored guest. Please forgive me, young lady."

Mingyue Xin put away the token and nodded slightly, saying, "This will not happen again."

The general readily agreed, then ordered his men to clear the way for the Venerable Wuxiang and his entourage to pass.

The Venerable Wuxiang and Yueqing exchanged a glance, a hint of gratitude and relief flashing in their eyes.

"Thank you for your help, young lady." Venerable Wuxiang stepped forward and bowed to Mingyue Xin in gratitude.

Mingyue smiled slightly and returned the greeting, saying, "No need to be so polite. His Excellency is already waiting for you all at the Jixia Academy. Please follow me."

With that, Mingyue Xin turned around and led Wuxiang Venerable Envoy and the others through the bustling crowd toward the Jixia Academy.

Baili Dongjun and Yueyao followed closely behind, occasionally whispering to each other.

……

"What did you say? Those three mysterious people went to Jixia Academy?"

In the Northern Imperial Palace of Tianqi City, Emperor Tai'an jumped up in a panic.

He looked at Yi Bu, the sect leader of the Shadow Sect, in surprise and asked, "But they are from the Outer Heavens. Does this mean that the Jixia Academy has already made contact with the Outer Heavens? Is the Jixia Academy planning a rebellion?"

"If Li Changsheng takes his Jixia Academy and joins Li Chengtian, what will become of my Beili?"

"Ib, explain yourself clearly! Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Bu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your humble servant is also doing his best to investigate this matter. However, there is currently no conclusive evidence to suggest that Jixia Academy is colluding with Tianwaitian."

As for those three, although they claimed to be merchants, their identities are indeed suspicious. I have already dispatched men to secretly monitor them, and any unusual activity will be reported immediately.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's anger subsided slightly, but his brows remained furrowed: "You must keep a close eye on things for me! I will not allow anything to threaten the stability of the Northern Li imperial power!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your decree," Yi Bu replied hastily, secretly relieved that he had temporarily escaped a calamity.

At this moment, inside the Jixia Academy, Venerable Wuxiang and his entourage, led by Mingyue Xin, had arrived in front of the tea room where Li Chengtian was.

Inside the tea room, Li Chengtian was chatting and laughing with Lü Suzhen and others in a harmonious atmosphere.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Li Chengtian smiled slightly and said to everyone, "It seems our guests have arrived."

The Venerable Envoy Wuxiang pushed open the door and entered. His gaze swept over everyone in the room before finally landing on Li Chengtian. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Wuxiang of Beique greets His Majesty the Emperor of Daqing."

Li Chengtian stood up, smiled, and returned the greeting, saying, "Get up!"

The Venerable Envoy Wuxiang, with his profound gaze, slowly said, "Your Majesty, let's not beat around the bush. My purpose in coming here is twofold: first, to witness Your Majesty's magnificence, and second, for the future of the Beique clan."

Li Chengtian smiled slightly, gesturing for Venerable Wuxiang to sit down, and then said, "Venerable Wuxiang, you flatter me. I know that the Beique clan has suffered greatly over the years, and I am deeply moved. If I can truly help the Beique clan return to their homeland, it will be my great fortune."

"But you come from a foreign tribe, do you know about the grudges between my Heavenly Realm and the Northern Li?" Venerable Wuxiang asked again.

He glanced uneasily at Li Changsheng beside him.

Regardless of whether Li Chengtian will make a move, as long as Li Changsheng does, none of them will be able to escape.

But Li Changsheng's expression remained calm, as if he did not want to keep them.

Li Chengtian smiled slightly: "How could I not know about the hatred of the destruction of a country? Since ancient times, the general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be no division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity."

“Venerable Wuxiang, you should know this principle. I can promise you here that I will rescue your sect leader Yuefeng City and then let you return to your homeland of Beique.”

"But you have to agree to one condition!"

"What are the conditions?" Venerable Wuxiang asked.

Li Chengtian smiled slightly again and said solemnly, "Submit to me unconditionally and become a subject of my Great Qing Kingdom!"

"..." Upon hearing this, the Venerable Wuxiang's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, if you want our Outer Heavens to submit to you, you must demonstrate your strength!"

The moment the Venerable Wuxiang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tea room instantly became tense. All eyes were focused on Li Chengtian, awaiting his response.

Li Chengtian smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes. He slowly stood up, exuding an aura that could not be underestimated.

“Your Excellency is absolutely right. Strength is the best proof to convince everyone.”

Just when everyone thought Li Chengtian was about to take action himself, Mingyue Xin suddenly stepped forward.

She looked firmly at the Venerable Envoy Wuxiang, her voice clear and powerful: "Why should Your Majesty personally intervene with a mere Venerable Envoy Wuxiang? Let me experience the Venerable Envoy's superior skills."

Upon hearing this, not only was the Venerable Wuxiang stunned for a moment, but even Lü Suzhen and Li Changsheng showed some surprise.

After all, in everyone's eyes, although the strength of the Venerable Wuxiang was not as great as theirs as these top experts, he was by no means an ordinary person.

Li Chengtian nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Mingyue Xin's suggestion. "Very well, let Mingyue Xin represent me and demonstrate the strength of my Great Qing to the esteemed envoy."

Seeing this, the Venerable Wuxiang was unwilling, but he had no choice but to accept the challenge.

He knew that if he were to be defeated without a fight, he would not only be unable to explain himself to the Beique people, but he would also be unable to gain a foothold in this world full of powerful people.

"In that case, please enlighten me, young lady!"

The Venerable Envoy Wuxiang stretched out his figure, his body surging with true energy, clearly ready to fight.

Mingyue Xin smiled slightly, her figure flashing out like a ghost, instantly appearing in front of the Wuxiang Venerable Envoy, and striking out with a palm.

This palm strike appeared gentle, but it actually contained profound internal force; wherever the palm wind passed, the air seemed to be torn apart.

Envoy Wuxiang dared not be careless and quickly gathered all his strength to meet the attack with a palm strike.

The two palms clashed, producing a deafening sound that shook the tables and chairs in the tea room.

Mingyue Xin's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. Not only was her cultivation profound, but she was also agile and her moves were unpredictable.

Although Wuxiang Venerable Envoy was also a master, he gradually found himself struggling under Mingyue Xin's offensive.

However, the Venerable Wuxiang was no ordinary person.

Knowing he couldn't fight head-on, he began to use his divination skills to try and trap Mingyue Xin.

The tea room was suddenly filled with intricate arrays, dazzling the eyes.

But Mingyue Xin seemed to know these formations inside and out. She moved nimbly through the formations, skillfully avoiding traps each time while delivering a fatal counterattack to Wuxiang Venerable Envoy.

As time went on, the disadvantages of the Formless Venerable became increasingly apparent.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

He knew he was powerless to turn the tide, and could only fight with all his might to deliver one last blow.

However, Mingyue Xin easily deflected the attack. She flashed behind Wuxiang Zunshi and gently patted his back with her palm.

This seemingly gentle palm strike actually contained profound internal force, instantly causing the Venerable Wuxiang to stagger several steps and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You lost," Mingyue Xin said calmly, without a trace of smugness in her tone.

The Venerable Wuxiang slowly stood up, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew he was no longer able to fight and could only admit defeat.

But he was still unwilling, so he looked at Li Chengtian deeply and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty's strength is indeed extraordinary, I admire you greatly."

However, regarding the matter of Tianwaitian, I need you to save our sect leader Yuefengcheng before he can make a decision.

But I can assure you that if you can rescue Yuefeng City, I can persuade him to submit to you.

"Wu Xiang, are you trying to negotiate with me?" Li Chengtian's face turned cold. This was the first person in this world to make demands of him, and he felt a little unhappy.

Li Chengtian's tone carried an unquestionable authority, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the room.

Envoy Wuxiang was startled and quickly bowed, explaining, "Your Majesty misunderstands. I was merely stating the facts. Ultimately, the ownership of the Outer Heavens must be decided by Sect Master Yuefeng City himself; this is our clan's tradition and rule."

The two sisters, Yueyao and Yueqing, also knelt down at the same time and bowed, saying, "We beg Your Majesty to save our father, Yuefengcheng. We sisters swear that we will persuade our father to be loyal to Your Majesty and to the Great Qing Kingdom for the rest of his life!"

Li Chengtian gazed at the kneeling Wuxiang Venerable and the two sisters, Yueyao and Yueqing. After a moment of silence, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, the coldness on his face gradually softening. He knew that a true leader needed not only strength, but also wisdom and tolerance.

"Venerable Wuxiang, Yueyao and Yueqing, I understand your feelings. The fate of the Beique clan should indeed be in your own hands. But please believe me, everything I have done is for the long-term peace and prosperity of this continent."

Li Chengtian's words were calm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination: "Saving the sect leader of Yuefeng City is a promise I made long ago, and you don't need to worry about it."

As he spoke, Li Chengtian turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Li Changsheng: "Mr. Li, I would appreciate your guidance regarding the rescue of Yuefeng City."

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Chengtian, rest assured, leave this matter to me. Although the protective formation of Tianwaitian is strong, it is still no match for me, Li Changsheng."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Li Chengtian bowed and then looked at the Venerable Envoy Wuxiang. "Venerable Envoy, please wait here for good news. Once the Sect Master of Yuefeng City is rescued, we will discuss our plans together."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Wuxiang felt a great weight lifted from his heart and quickly bowed again, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful."

"May I ask Your Majesty, when shall we depart for the Outer Heavens to rescue the Sect Master?"

"No rush," Li Chengtian waved his hand and said, "Once I've finished dealing with everything in Tianqi City, we'll set off for Tianwaitian."

“Your Majesty, is there anything else you need to do in Tianqi City? If you need anything from Tianwaitian, we will do our utmost to serve you.” Venerable Wuxiang immediately expressed his determination and glanced at Venerable Wuzuo beside him.

Wu Zuo Zunshi hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, indicating that he was ready to be at Li Chengtian's beck and call at any time.

Remembering how Wuzuo was defeated by Junyu for practicing the Blood Demon Art, Li Chengtian, to prevent Wuzuo from repeating the same mistake, and considering that Wuzuo was also a good candidate for dance, said, "Wuzuo, the Blood Demon Art is too evil and not suitable for you to practice. Why don't you give it up?"

"What? Blood Demon Technique?"

As soon as Li Chengtian finished speaking, Yueyao, Yueqing, and Wuxiang all exclaimed in surprise.

Yueyao continued, "The Blood Demon Technique is a forbidden art of my Northern Kingdom. My father has repeatedly forbidden our clansmen from practicing it. Venerable Envoy Wuzuo, why are you doing this?"

“Miss, I… I only want to rescue the sect leader as soon as possible and let our people return to their homeland.” Envoy Wuzu knelt down and explained to Yueyao, “Please forgive my sins, Miss!”
