Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Li Ying frowned and said, "Is the Tianhai Sword Sect already so powerful?"

Fakong said, "The sword technique found in the cave is indeed unique, far better than their current sword technique, and their sword formation is also unique."

"Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it in the future."

Li Ying blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What about you?"

Fakong smiled.

Li Ying hummed, "In that case, you have found a way to crack it, right?"

Fakong smiled and shook his head, "Their sword technique is indeed exquisite, and I can only use force to break the trick for the time being."

Among the many sword techniques he learned, the Haoyang Divine Sword is better than the newly acquired sword technique of the Tianhai Sword Sect, and can suppress them.

But the Haoyang Divine Sword wins by power, not by exquisiteness.

Li Ying frowned and pondered, "It seems that I can only hold my breath, and I can't kill Xie Daochun."

Fakong nodded.

Xie Daochun is the emperor's man. If I kill Xie Daochun now, the emperor will not give up, so I still have to take it into consideration.

Li Ying said: "But the Tianhai Sword Sect will never give up and will continue to assassinate me."

"Then ask the emperor for help." Fakong said: "Let the emperor send a few guards of the Forbidden Palace."

"You're just daydreaming." Li Ying said.

How could the guards of the Forbidden Palace protect themselves? They only protect people in the Forbidden Palace. No matter how high her status is, she is just a minister.

She is still very clear about this.

Fakong smiled: "Why not give it a try?"

Not borrowing strength, but insisting on holding on by yourself, and also paying attention to face, this is the helplessness of people in the martial arts world.

Li Ying pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head and sighed: "This method doesn't work."

She put down the teacup, stood up and paced, her crystal-like melon-seed face was uncertain, she pursed her red lips, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The bright moon sheds clear light, and the clear and cold chill penetrates into the skin and penetrates into the heart, and the whole world becomes cold.

She took a deep breath, felt the clear moonlight, and slowly said: "I know that in order to reduce the number of deaths of the Six Paths disciples, I should stand up and go to the court for help."

Fakong nodded.

"But..." Li Ying shook her head gently: "If I really do this, it means that I have no hope of becoming the Demon Lord and it is impossible to unify the Six Paths."

In front of Fakong, she did not hide her ambition to unify the Six Paths of the Demon Sect and become the Demon Lord, knowing that she could not hide it from Fakong.

Fakong looked up at the night sky: "I can't help myself."

This is the helplessness of worldly affairs. It is not that good intentions can get good rewards. On the contrary, most of the time it is just the opposite.

Fakong is not dissatisfied or resentful. This is the law and rule of the world. He will only obey and use it, not violate it.

Once Li Ying shows weakness, her prestige will be lost.

This kind of image collapse is fatal. Even if it is compensated later, it is difficult to reverse. After it is deeply rooted in people's hearts, no matter how strong the martial arts is, it is difficult to convince people.

Li Ying turned and looked at him.

Under the moonlight, she was calm, her eyes sparkling with high morale, which was very different from her usual fighting spirit.

Fakong laughed: "Then I won't meddle in other people's business."

Li Ying's voice was soft but firm: "I believe that the six paths will eventually be unified, and the wishful thinking of Tianhai Sword Sect will not work."

Fakong nodded gently.

He didn't know what to say.

Not letting Li Ying go to die was already the most righteous thing.

As for the rest, there was no need for him to get too involved. It was the emperor who should be worried, not himself.

In the early morning, Fakong appeared in Lingkong Temple.

He had just arrived at Lingkong Temple when Leng Feiqiong arrived at his abbot's courtyard.

Fakong looked at her helplessly.

Leng Feiqiong was dressed in a purple palace dress, cold and stunning, with a cold expression as if covered with a layer of frost.

Fakong looked at her.

Leng Feiqiong sighed: "Master..."

Fakong stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down and talk.

Leng Feiqiong sat down at the stone table, brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Fakong, brewed a cup of tea for himself, and stared at Fakong: "Master, you know it too, right?"

Fakong said: "What news?"

"Tianhai Sword Sect assassinated Li Ying, deputy director of the Green Clothes Division."

Fakong nodded: "It seems that the emperor already knows it."

"Prince Duan reported it to the emperor personally." Leng Feiqiong frowned and said coldly: "Master, this Prince Duan has great ambitions, and the court may not be so peaceful."

Originally, only Prince Yi and Prince Ying were competing for the throne, and the competition was fierce. As Prince Yi left Shenjing, Prince Ying became the only one in power.

It seems that the future emperor is Prince Ying.

But at this time, Prince Duan emerged as a new force, shouldering the heavy responsibility of becoming the director of the Southern Supervisory Division, and running the Southern Supervisory Division prosperously and enthusiastically, and his suppression and control of the martial arts world was extremely effective.

At this time, Prince Duan was obviously unwilling to be the original free and easy prince, and wanted more.

As a prince, once there is hope of getting the throne, how can you not want to fight for it?

Fighting for it is risky, but if you don't fight for it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Fakong smiled.

"Master, do you want to help him?"

"No." Fakong shook his head: "I won't get involved in this matter."

Leng Feiqiong shook his head: "Master, I'm afraid you can't stay out of it."

Fakong smiled.

Leng Feiqiong was right. It is difficult to stay out of the fight for the throne and not be involved at all.

Leng Feiqiong frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Xie Daochun sent someone to assassinate Li Ying. This move..."

She really didn't know what to say.

This incident exposed Xie Daochun's narrow vision.

He only thought that Li Ying was the future Demon Lord and was expected to unify the six paths of the Demon Sect, so he had to guard against Li Ying unifying the six paths of the Demon Sect in the future and making the six paths of the Demon Sect a big problem.

But he didn't think about the impact of this incident and the trouble it caused.

If he succeeded this time, it would be fine. Even if there were adverse effects and troubles, at least the future of the six paths of the Demon Sect would be truly solved and it would not become a big problem.

But he failed.

This again exposed Xie Daochun's lack of courage.

He only sent people who were specifically responsible for assassination, not the top elders of the Tianhai Sword Sect.

Although these elders would be known by the court once they approached Shenjing, even if they knew, Li Ying would be dead.

By that time, it would be fine even if the court wanted to punish him.

Now it is different.

The dignified deputy chief of the Green Clothes Division was assassinated. If the murderer cannot be caught, where is the dignity of the court?

Moreover, the imperial court would also have a bad fear of Tianhai Sword Sect: they were so unscrupulous towards the deputy director of the Green Clothes Division, which meant that they did not take the imperial officials into consideration at all. If any imperial official offended Tianhai Sword Sect in the future, they would also be secretly assassinated?

This is a big trouble for Tianhai Sword Sect.

If they risked this big trouble and solved the big trouble of Li Ying, it would be a worthwhile price.

Now they want to solve the big trouble of Li Ying, not only failed to solve it, but also caused another big trouble.

This is more trouble than success!

Fakong said: "This matter was done very cleanly, and it has nothing to do with Tianhai Sword Sect."

"It's useless..." Leng Feiqiong shook his head gently: "The emperor judges by his heart rather than his deeds, and he has already had a bad opinion of Tianhai Sword Sect."

"Xie Daochun is the emperor's man."

"The emperor is already dissatisfied," Leng Feiqiong said: "I'm afraid he won't be the head for long."

Fakong was thoughtful and knew what Leng Feiqiong was worried about.
