The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

Therefore, Nalan Sheng had no choice but to have someone else impersonate Wu Yazi's closed-door disciple. A Zi, being an ambitious person, volunteered to take on this task.

Once Azi inherits the position of Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace, she can directly command the maids of the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments under Lingjiu Palace, as well as the masters of the Thirty-Six Caves and the Seventy-Two Island Lords. That would be much more prestigious than being the leader of the Xingxiu Sect.

Meanwhile, beside a stream a hundred miles away from the Tianshan Mountains, stands a two-story wooden house that is seven or eight meters high.

That two-story wooden house was also summoned by Nalan Sheng. Its exterior looked much more exquisite than the single-story wooden house, and its interior space was also larger.

Because Nalan Sheng has used the Wood Release: Four Pillars Technique quite a bit during this period, his mastery of this technique has improved from beginner level to minor proficiency level.

Time passed slowly, and Wang Yuyan and the others finally succumbed to the beatings and fell into a deep sleep, drenched in sweat.

[What a bunch of useless noobs, not a single one of them can fight.]

Just as Nalan Sheng was still savoring the moment, a dark figure suddenly slipped through the crack in the door, then transformed into a shadowy ninja and knelt on one knee before him.

Seeing this, Nalan Sheng's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he said, "It seems the plan is going quite smoothly. You can come back now!"

"Whoosh!"

Upon hearing Nalan Sheng's words, the shadow ninja nodded expressionlessly and once again transformed into a black shadow, merging into Nalan Sheng's shadow.

With Azi's ability to flatter, it should be quite easy for her to win the favor of the Heavenly Child Granny.

Now that the matter with the Heavenly Child Granny has been resolved, it's time to make a trip to Western Xia.

Nalan Sheng silently grumbled to himself before embracing Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing and slowly closing his eyes.

……

Several days later

Lingzhou City, Western Xia Dynasty.

Lingzhou City was the capital of Western Xia. Li Qiushui was the Empress Dowager of Western Xia and usually lived in the Western Xia Imperial Palace.

After Nalan Sheng led Wang Yuyan and the others into Lingzhou City, they did not rush to see Li Qiushui, but instead stayed temporarily in the largest inn in the city.

As night slowly fell, Nalan Sheng, dressed in a black robe, silently slipped into the palace under the cover of darkness.

Although the palace was heavily guarded, it was full of flaws and practically useless for a top expert like Nalan Sheng.

Soon Nalan Sheng arrived outside the Empress Dowager's palace. He first knocked out the palace maids and guards outside, and then gently pushed open the palace door.

The moment the palace door was opened even a crack the size of a palm, an invisible palm strike shot out from the crack at an extremely tricky angle, slamming hard into Nalan Sheng's chest.

"Whoosh!!!"

Just as the invisible palm force was about to strike Nalan Sheng, a layer of blue-white battle qi suddenly appeared out of thin air, condensing into a thin veil of battle qi on his body.

"Bang!"

The invisible palm force landed on the Dou Qi gauze robe, producing a low, muffled sound, but ultimately failed to break through the robe's defense, only causing Nalan Sheng's figure to sway slightly.

"What a powerful White Rainbow Palm technique! No wonder it's one of the unique skills of the Free and Unfettered Sect."

After regaining his balance, Nalan Sheng smiled and pushed open the palace door.

White Rainbow Palm is a martial art that allows users to control the direction of their palm strikes. Its most distinctive feature is that the force can be directed or bent at will.

Especially when it is delivered in the form of a splitting palm, it appears to be facing the enemy head-on, but the direction of the palm force is actually unpredictable, making it difficult for the opponent to detect, and they can easily be hit if they are not careful.

"Release your true energy!"

Sitting on the bed, Li Qiushui looked at the layer of fighting spirit gauze covering Nalan Sheng and couldn't help but show a somewhat solemn expression.

Although Li Qiushui didn't know what the Dou Qi Gauze Robe was, she knew that some top experts with profound skills could release their internal true energy and condense it into something similar to a protective shield.

Just as Li Qiushui was secretly on guard, Nalan Sheng also curiously looked at this "fairy sister".

At this time, Li Qiushui looked to be only in her forties, with a slender and graceful figure, wearing a bellyband embroidered with a phoenix pattern.

Judging from her figure and skin alone, Li Qiushui is definitely a stunning beauty.

Unfortunately, Li Qiushui's smooth, jade-like face had four extremely long sword wounds, forming a "well" shape.

Because of these four sword wounds, her right eye bulged out and the left corner of her mouth was crooked, making her look very ugly.

"Senior, there's no need to be nervous. I mean no harm; I simply want to make a deal with you!"

"trade?"

Upon hearing Nalan Sheng's words, Li Qiushui couldn't help but show a somewhat puzzled expression.

"This product is called Skin Regenerating and Scar Removing Cream. Simply apply it to the scar and it will gradually fade away."

Nalan Sheng flipped his hand and took out a jade box, saying in a tempting tone, "If it is a new scar, it can be completely removed with just one application."

For old wounds like yours, applying this once a day for about ten days should be enough to completely remove them.

"Is this really true!"

Li Qiushui's expression changed drastically as she stared intently at the jade box in Nalan Sheng's hand, her eyes filled with excitement.

"I'm not just bored and have nothing better to do than come here to make this kind of joke to you, senior."

Nalan Sheng smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can accept this item first and have a palace maid or guard test it."

As soon as Nalan Sheng finished speaking, he threw the jade box in his hand to Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui instinctively caught the jade box and went straight to the point, asking, "What do you want?"

"A fair maiden is the object of every gentleman's desire. I have long admired Princess Yinchuan, the most beautiful woman in Western Xia."

Nalan Sheng earnestly lied, "I went through all sorts of trouble to find this skin-regenerating and scar-removing cream, hoping that you would betroth Princess Yinchuan to me."

The Princess Yinchuan mentioned by Nalan Sheng is Meng Gu, who lost her virginity to Xu Zhu in the original novel. She can naturally be considered the destined heroine.

"..."

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng actually wanted to marry her granddaughter, Li Qiushui pondered for a moment and said, "If this ointment can really remove the scars on my face, I will betroth Qinglu to you."

However, after this is done, you will need to help me eliminate an enemy. These sword scars on my face were left by that vile woman.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Nalan Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Then I will come to pay my respects to you again in ten days, senior."

Under Li Qiushui's somewhat wary gaze, Nalan Sheng's feet flashed with lightning, leaving a lifelike afterimage before disappearing without a trace.

I wonder who this person is? Hopefully, I haven't let a wolf into the house! If we could make this person and that scoundrel die together, that would be for the best.

As she watched the slowly dissipating afterimage, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed in Li Qiushui's eyes.
