Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

Xiangcheng, Wangfu, in a study.

Prince Rui was leaning on the desk with his arms propped up and dozing off. A man was kneeling in front of the desk, his whole body covered in a black robe and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Young Master just came out of the eldest young master's house and took people to Wang Chengming's residence."

Prince Rui's eyelids slightly raised, but he did not express his opinion.

The man in black continued, "Bai Wuxia and Xu Sanyan are already 20 miles outside the city."

Prince Rui moved his arm and slowly said, "Who contacted Xu Sanyan yesterday?"

"The eldest young master sent Wang Chengming and the fifth young master, the third young master sent the fourth young master, and the second lady went in person."

Prince Rui then opened his eyes, "Qi Zhu went in person?"

"Yes."

Prince Rui frowned and thought, it seems that Xu Sanyan's arrival made many people choose not to hide anymore, making this already turbid lake even more turbid.

Yang Qi Zhu is not worth worrying about, but the Cui family standing behind him is not easy to mess with.

Because Cui Yousheng stands behind the Cui family.

No one knows whether the Cui family and Yang Qizhu are important to Cui Yousheng, after all, he hasn't come back for more than ten years, but no one dares to bet.

The Cui family is like a shield in Yang Qizhu's hand, protecting her firmly, and no one dares to break it.

If Xu Sanyan joins Yang Qizhu's faction, then this shield will grow spikes and become aggressive.

King Rui is not afraid of only a shield.

King Rui is not afraid of only a spear.

I am afraid that the shield will grow thorns and the spear will grow armor.

Yang Qizhu is a shield, the third son is a spear, and the eldest son is a poisonous snake.

King Rui rubbed his eyebrows. None of these children are worry-free. If I had known earlier, I should have shot them on the wall.

Now everyone has become a force to be reckoned with, and it is too late to start again.

He never thought about passing on the throne. He is only in his forties this year. As a warrior in the heavenly realm, he still has at least a hundred years to live. If he breaks through the foundation, his life span will be as long as three hundred years.

Therefore, he did not want to pass on the throne, but his sons seemed to be impatient.

Qi State was established for only three hundred years, why has it changed four emperors, and each emperor died unexpectedly, either suddenly or assassinated, the reason is here.

Someone is anxious.

King Rui closed his eyes lightly, "Send someone to Lizhou to check Xu Sanyan's background."

"Yes."

The figure of the man in black flashed and disappeared in the room.

...

When it was getting dark, a huge city appeared in the distance. Xu Sanyan breathed a sigh of relief. After days of running around, he finally arrived.

Above the city hung a huge stone plaque with the words "Xiangcheng" written on it.

"We're here, let's go to see the prince first." Bai Wuxia also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't encounter any danger along the way, he felt a little tired.

"Yeah."

Xu Sanyan led the horse and followed Bai Wuxia. The two walked through the busy long street. Their keen five senses noticed that there were more than one person following them behind them, and they didn't know which force they were from.

Bai Wuxia took him to a huge palace. There was a team of soldiers guarding the palace gate. So he took out a token from his arms, "Lizhou Tai'an City, Yi and others came to visit Bai Wuxia at night, and brought Xu Sanyan to ask to see the prince."

A general officer walked out of the soldiers and took the token, "Sir Bai, please wait."

Not long after, the general officer came out, "The prince invites you."

The two were searched, and the long swords in their hands were also confiscated, and then they were allowed in.

As the general officer came to the outside of a hall, Xu Sanyan's eyes moved slightly, and he realized that there were more than ten people hiding in the dark, who should be the secret guards responsible for protecting the prince.

"Please come in, both of you." The general officer stopped when he walked outside the hall.

Xu Sanyan stepped over the high threshold and looked into the depths of the hall. On the high platform at the deepest part was a desk, and behind the desk was a dragon chair made of pure gold, on which sat an elegant middle-aged man.

In the empty hall, there were only King Rui and a few attendants.

Bai Wuxia took a few quick steps and knelt on the ground with a "thump". "I am Bai Wuxia, your subordinate, and I pay my respects to the prince."

Xu Sanyan stepped forward slowly and bowed, "I am Xu Sanyan, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the prince."

King Rui stroked his beard and smiled, his temperament was very peaceful, "Stand up, and take a seat."

An attendant brought a chair, and the two sat on one side. King Rui exchanged a few pleasantries and got down to business.

"Bai Wuxia, listen to your order."

Bai Wuxia knelt on the ground again.

"Bai Wuxia, who was a night spy on B, went deep behind the enemy and provided war horses and weapons for the army. He worked hard and made great contributions. He was promoted to General Po Lu, granted the title of Marquis of Anping, a reward of ten thousand gold, a house, and ten maids."

King Rui thought for a while and spoke again, "Give me three Shengling Pills."

Bai Wuxia showed joy on his face and thanked loudly.

The rest of the things were not important, Shengling Pills were the key. With these three pills, he would be able to take a solid step towards the middle stage of the Heavenly Man Realm.

Prince Rui was very satisfied with Bai Wuxia's attitude, and then turned his eyes to Xu Sanyan.

Xu Sanyan still bowed and did not kneel.

Prince Rui still had that kind smile on his face, "I have heard for a long time that Xu Sanyan is talented and honest. With such a great talent working for me, why should I worry about not accomplishing my great cause."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. I am ashamed to accept it."

Xu Sanyan couldn't tell whether he was praising or scolding him. Was this honest character really referring to him?

Prince Rui smiled faintly and said, "I have a daughter who is kind-hearted and beautiful. I intend to marry her to you. What do you think?"

Xu Sanyan was stunned. Was Prince Rui crazy?

Forced to give herself to Yang Qizhu's family?

Bai Wuxia's eyes showed envy. A 20-year-old Tianren realm expert was indeed worthy of King Rui's investment.

Xu Sanyan hesitated and said, "Your Highness, are you talking about Yang Qizhu?"

King Rui smiled and shook his head, "I am talking about my youngest daughter Yang Qiyuan."

Xu Sanyan suddenly realized that this made sense. In this way, he was completely isolated.

King Rui looked at him quietly, waiting for Xu Sanyan's reply.

This was a marriage he personally granted. It seemed that he was asking Xu Sanyan's opinion, but in fact there was no room for refusal.

Xu Sanyan naturally understood this truth, so after a slight hesitation, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

It was just a wife, there was no need to refuse, and marrying King Rui's daughter would also make it easier for him to collect precious medicines, and he could get in touch with the cultivators behind King Rui, and there would be a woman who came to his door for him to play with.

It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

King Rui smiled, and he thought he had achieved his goal.

As for his daughter's opinion, it was not important. He didn't care, and Xu Sanyan didn't care either.

If you don't have the strength, you should let the strong control you. This is an eternal truth.

King Rui raised his head and laughed, "Hahahaha, good, I have such a good son-in-law, which is enough for my life."

Bai Wuxia congratulated with great tact, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

He thought that he had a good relationship with Xu Sanyan. If Xu Sanyan gained power, he might be able to benefit from it.

Xu Sanyan lowered his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
