His prestige is like a towering mountain, inspiring awe and reverence.
Although Si Gu Jian was only the city lord of Dongyi City, his status was in no way inferior to that of the emperors of Nanqing and Beiqi.
His existence is like a bright star, hanging high in the sky, radiating dazzling light.
(cbaa) However, Si Gu Jian did not care about the trivial matters of Dongyi City.
He entrusted all affairs to his disciples, while he himself stayed indoors almost all day, focusing on cultivating in the Sword Pavilion and constantly improving his strength.
But tonight, the situation is a bit special, because at this moment a sword cultivator suddenly came to the city wall where Si Gu Jian was standing.
The swordsman was dressed in a plain-colored robe, carrying a long sword on his back, and had a solemn expression.
He was none other than Si Gu Jian's first disciple—Yun Zhi Lan.
Yun Zhilan walked steadily to the top of the city wall, knelt on one knee, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Master."
Yun Zhilan, Si Gu Jian's prized disciple, is a ninth-rank sword cultivator.
Before Li Chengtian's personal guards, Heaven and Earth Profound and Yellow, and the Primordial Universe, were born, his strength was enough to rank him among the top ten of the ninth-grade powerhouses.
His strength and talent were recognized by Si Gu Jian, and therefore he shouldered more responsibility and mission.
The city wall was silent, without any response, but Yun Zhilan did not get up, remaining kneeling and waiting quietly.
Finally, from the city wall, Si Gu Jian spoke a hoarse, aged voice:
"What's the matter?"
Yun Zhilan took a deep breath and replied respectfully:
"A great upheaval occurred in Nanqing. Emperor Qing passed away, and his second son, Li Chengtian, succeeded him to the throne."
Upon hearing this news, Si Gu Jian asked with slight surprise, "Oh! Li Yunqian is dead?"
It should be noted that after Ye Qingmei died, Si Gu Jian, in order to avenge Ye Qingmei, repeatedly sneaked into the Nanqing Palace to try to assassinate Li Yunqian.
However, each time, the Grand Master in the palace noticed and thwarted his plan.
After that, Li Yunqian became extremely cautious, and for more than a decade he remained holed up in the palace, rarely venturing out.
How could such a cautious person die unexpectedly?
A question arose in Si Gu Jian's mind. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"How did he die?"
Yun Zhilan replied:
"He was ambushed and seriously injured by Hong Siyang, the Grandmaster of the Imperial Palace, and died from his injuries!"
Moreover, Emperor Qing himself was a Grandmaster-level expert.
There are also rumors that this second prince is extremely powerful, making even a Grandmaster seem like an ant.
Arrogant! Upon hearing this, Si Gu Jian on the city wall instantly erupted with true energy.
He shouted directly:
"How dare a mere child speak so arrogantly?"
Alright, I understand this matter. After my breakthrough, I'll take a trip to Nanqing and teach this young emperor a lesson, so he'll know that a Grandmaster cannot be insulted.
In the capital city of Northern Qi, at the headquarters of the Azure Dragon Society, Gongzi Yu glanced at Yan Nanfei and said:
"I received a message from my master, instructing us to bring out Yan Bingyun and Miss Si Lili's younger brother from the Jinyiwei prison before the Qing Kingdom's delegation enters Northern Qi."
Upon hearing this, Yan Nanfei immediately stood up and said:
"Since it's the master's order, leave this matter to me!"
After saying that, Yan Nanfei disappeared from the headquarters.
Gongzi Yu watched Yan Nanfei's departing figure, his brows furrowing slightly as he muttered to himself:
"Yan Nanfei is always so impatient."
Night fell over the capital, and all was quiet.
Suddenly, a dark shadow streaked across the night sky like a black lightning bolt, rushing toward the Jinyiwei prison at an astonishing speed.
Before long, the dark figure stopped outside the Jinyiwei prison, as if it had become one with the darkness.
The dark figure was none other than Yan Nanfei of the Azure Dragon Society.
He was as light as a swallow, his steps were agile, and his movements were so silent that they were difficult to detect.
After Yan Nanfei stood still, he closed his eyes tightly, seemingly silently sensing everything around him.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, which gleamed with determination.
Then, he slipped into the heavily guarded Jinyiwei prison like a ghost.
Yan Nanfei moved nimbly between the cells without making a sound.
His movements were so light that he seemed to blend into the darkness, making him undetectable.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yan Nanfei reappeared at the prison gate, carrying two unconscious people in his hands.
His expression was calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the Imperial Guards in the prison were unaware that anyone had broken into the prison, nor did they know that the two serious criminals had been rescued.
When Yan Nanfei left the prison, he remained vigilant and left no trace.
He disappeared into the night with two prisoners, like a gentle breeze, and no one knew where he went.
Soon, Yan Nanfei brought Yan Bingyun and Si Lili's younger brother back to the Azure Dragon Society headquarters and handed them over to Gongzi Yu.
He said to Gongzi Yu:
"I've brought the person here. If you don't have anything else for me to handle, I'm going into seclusion to cultivate now."
Before Gongzi Yu could reply, Yan Nanfei's figure vanished from the main hall of the Azure Dragon Society headquarters.
Gongzi Yu did not pay much attention to Yan Nanfei's behavior, but simply waved his hand to signal his men to take the two away so that they could get sufficient rest and treatment.
After everyone else had left, Gongzi Yu slowly stood up, walked to the window, and quietly gazed at the bright moonlight outside.
He muttered to himself, "The time is ripe now, and the Azure Dragon Society should officially emerge."
In the middle of the lake outside the Imperial Study of Daqing, Li Chengtian, enveloped in black demonic energy, was sitting cross-legged.
His body was trembling slightly, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, as if he were experiencing great pain and torment.
At this moment, he had successfully devoured the body of the minor god-king who had died a thousand years ago.
Now, his body is undergoing transformation into a God-King body, a process that is extremely difficult and requires a great deal of energy and effort.
While Li Chengtian was undergoing physical transformation, a mysterious palace suddenly appeared in the location of his liver.
The palace quietly emerged, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
This also indicates that Li Chengtian has successfully broken through the Divine Treasury of the Liver and entered a new realm.
As time passed, several hours went by.
At this moment, the sky began to lighten, and the east turned a pale white.
Li Chengtian also made breakthroughs in the spiritual storage of the lungs, kidneys, and spleen.
Each breakthrough was accompanied by a powerful surge of energy, causing the entire lake surface to tremble.
Ultimately, Li Chengtian successfully reached the Great Perfection of the Dao Palace realm.
As his strength increased, the physical transformation was also successfully completed.
His body became stronger, and his skin shimmered with a crystal-clear luster, as if he had been reborn.
Li Chengtian slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.
boom!
The lake water was instantly shaken by a gust of air, causing it to surge and the waves to reach tens of meters high, creating a spectacular sight.
Upon hearing the commotion, Mingyue Xin, who had been protecting Li Chengtian by the lake, immediately flew towards the center of the lake.
Looking at Li Chengtian before her, she sensed the powerful aura emanating from him, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
Just as it was about to fly to Li Chengtian's side, it was blown away by a powerful gust of air and returned to the side of the Imperial Study.
Li Chengtian carefully felt the changes happening in his body, and a sense of excitement and anticipation welled up in his heart.
He could feel his body becoming exceptionally powerful, as if endless power was surging within him.
However, despite this, Li Chengtian was clearly aware that he still had a long way to go before he could truly become a God-King.
At this moment, he can only be considered a flawed version of the God King Body, slightly stronger than an ordinary spirit body.
Afterwards, Li Chengtian also tested the speed of his cultivation.
Despite the significant improvement compared to before, he understood that with the nuclear radiation capabilities of the Daqing World, it would probably take hundreds of years to cultivate to the fourth level here.
However, Li Chengtian was not disappointed by this.
He knew that with the system's support, he might be able to obtain a treasure in the next lottery that would allow him to break through to the fourth level of the realm.
Thinking about this, Li Chengtian became even more excited.
