Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 183: The Xuan Guan Army Will Not Surrender, Family

White snow fluttered in the air. The Xuan Guan Army wore mourning clothes as they paid tribute to their late leader.

Cheng Tianyou said with difficulty, "Kneel!"

He thought that after Yan Shiying's death, he, as the representative of Yan Shiying's will, could command the remaining Xuan Guan Army.

However, he didn't expect that all the Xuan Guan Army were like wooden blocks, standing in the vast snow without moving at all.

Chen Qing wasn't angry. This made him think highly of this group of people again.

The foundation of the Xuan Guan Army was worse than his main force.

The reason was simple. Most of the Xuan Guan Army were rogue cultivators and most of them were at the bottom of the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, what no one expected was that after Yan Shiying led them.

These people actually puffed out their chests at this moment.

The rogue cultivators that were looked down upon, the bottom of the Foundation Establishment stage that had always been ordered around, now had a new will here.

"The Xuan Guan Army will not surrender!"

"Yes, the Xuan Guan Army will not surrender!"

"Before Lord Yan, we had always surrendered. But now, we don't want to surrender!"

"The Xuan Guan Army will not surrender!"

Chen Qing waved his hand and called Ying Wugang over. "Go and invite Sisi over."

Ying Wugang immediately accepted the order and quickly rode back to the city, heading towards the Wei Palace.

In the midst of the snowstorm, a tightly wrapped carriage left the city.

Yan Sisi put down the stove in her hand. Xuan Ping reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Yan Sisi's eyes.

"Sister, I don't want to cry."

"But I can't help it."

Xuan Ping reached out and hugged Yan Sisi, comforting her. "Then we'll wait for you to adjust before we go. We're not in a hurry."

Yan Sisi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "But Brother Cheng can't wait."

She put down the stove in her hand and got off the carriage, walking into the snow.

A thin girl immediately attracted the attention of all the Xuan Guan Army after getting off the carriage.

All the Xuan Guan Army understood that many of the orders were actually given by Yan Sisi.

In the Xuan Guan Army, Yan Sisi wasn't a delicate girl, but a wise person who had personally destroyed most of the Wu Kingdom.

Step by step, she calculated Hao Chengtian's death.

Step by step, she calculated Chen Qing.

Step by step, she calculated Ji Chang.

However, it was a pity that neither of them could be dealt with by calculating their whereabouts.

When Yan Sisi stepped into the Entrance Guard, all of them lowered their heads in shame when they saw Yan Sisi.

They had failed to protect Yan Shiying, so they were not qualified to follow Yan Shiying to kill Ji Chang.

If they had gone, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

Yan Sisi walked in front of Cheng Tianyou. Cheng Tianyou wanted to say something.

Yan Sisi reached out and covered Cheng Tianyou's mouth, "Brother Cheng, I know."

"I know."

Yan Sisi came to Chen Qing's side and grabbed his hand. She raised it up high and shouted, "Everyone can open the Profound Entrance!"

"The Xuan Guan Army will not end their journey just because my brother is dead!"

"Henceforth, I will bring all of you to the Death Realm together with Elder Brother Qing!"

"Go to the Death Realm and fight for a future!"

"To fight for a broad path of cultivation!"

"From now on, not only will everyone be able to form the Profound Gate, everyone will also be able to transform into a butterfly!"

Chen Qing shouted, "With me, not only will everyone be able to form the Profound Entrance, but everyone will also be able to transform into a butterfly!"

Following Chen Qing's shout, Yan Sisi raised Chen Qing's hand.

The Xuan Guan Army at the front finally knelt down. Then, they followed suit.

This had nothing to do with Chen Qing's charisma.

The Xuan Guan Army had been forged into an invincible army by Yan Sisi and Yan Shiying.

They only acknowledged Chen Qing now because he said that everyone could open the Profound Entrance.

This was all because of Yan Sisi.

With Yan Sisi here, they would not be held accountable for their actions in the future.

The wind and snow were heavy, and the chill was bone-chilling. However, no one on Lang Ya City felt cold at this moment.

After everyone knelt down, Cheng Tianyou struggled to stand up and yelled with the last of his strength, "Ji Chang said that he would kill all of us!"

"But I will tell him that he will not succeed!"

Cheng Tianyou looked toward Chen Qing. "Lend me your sword."

"I like your Dragon Sparrow Sword. That sword looks more powerful."

Chen Qing spread open his fingers and the Dragon Sparrow Sword appeared in his hand.

Cheng Tianyou gripped the longsword with his remaining right hand and roared to the sky, "Ji Chang, we will meet again in the afterlife!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"At that time, I will tell you myself that you did not kill all of us!"

"Big Brother Yan, Chou Ying, Xiao Xiao, I'm coming to find you."

Cheng Tianyou swung his sword, and the tip of the sword slid across his neck. Blood sprayed everywhere as the scorching blood landed on the snow, burning holes in the ground.

Cheng Tianyou's head fell to the ground and rolled three times.

Foundation Establishment, in this chaotic world that had just opened, seemed so insignificant.

The last general of the Xuan Pass army had committed suicide before Langya city today.

Chen Qing extended his hand and used his spiritual qi to capture a spiritual gu.

"Someone, give him a proper burial!"

"Pass down my orders. Lu Shenglong is to lead his troops to the lower reaches of the Jin province city and search for the corpses of Yan Shiying and the Xuan Pass army!"

"Pass down my orders. Allow the Xuan Pass army to worship Yan Shiying in the city. Set up a mourning hall for Yan Shiying and use the rites of royalty!"

"Pass down my orders. Shi Xintie, lead the army to the Wu Kingdom and capture the royal grandson. I want him to kneel before Yan Shiying's memorial hall and worship him until Yan Shiying is buried!"

Shi Xintie clasped his hands and asked, "Sir, what do we do if a royal grandson refuses to comply?"

Chen Qing sneered, "Break his legs!"

Shi Xintie clasped his hands, "Yes, sir!"

The twenty-first of the first lunar month.

Lin Dong who remained in Langya city already felt that it was unwise to stay there any longer.

Qing Xu was actually bold enough to capture the royal grandson of the Wu Kingdom and make him kneel before Yan Shiying, a martial artist, to apologise for his crimes!

Just when he was about to pack up and leave Langya city, someone knocked on the door.

"Royal grandson, the Wei leader's wife has asked for you!"

Lin Dong was rather puzzled, "What did you say?"

"The Wei leader's wife?"

"Why has she asked for me?"

He looked outside. Wei Qingchen had already surrounded the place with people, "Sigh, looks like I have no choice but to go."

When he arrived at the Wei Palace and passed by the main hall, he happened to glance at Chen Qing. He only felt that this person's might was basically on par with his father's.

His might was like a prison. Foundation Establishment of the Nine Kingdoms was connected to life and death.

Once the order was given, they would capture a descendant of the royal family.

He arrived at the side hall. It was warm inside. Two women sat there, studying him from both sides.

He had been in Langya city for quite some time now, so how could he not know who the two women were?

One was Madam Wei, and the other was Yan Sisi, who had personally annihilated all the large clans of the Wu Kingdom and killed Hao Chengtian.

Xuan Ping pointed at the seat beside her. "The royal grandson has come, please take a seat."

Lin Dong sat down, but his heart did not feel good.

He wasn't one of those bastards who didn't know the severity of the situation. He didn't even dare to look at Xuan Ping.

Xuan Ping said leisurely, "Now that Wu Country's royal grandson will definitely be captured, I wonder what the royal grandson thinks?"

Lin Dong probed, "This, this is extremely correct. This way, we can calm the hearts of the Xuan Pass Army, and it will be beneficial for the Wu Country's Foundation Establishment cultivators to pledge their allegiance."

"If all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Nine Nations work together, we will have a better chance of winning the Battle of the Death Realm."

"It's a good thing for the entire Nanli."

Xuan Ping smiled and said, "Since Your Highness also thinks it's a good thing, then it's easy to handle."

"I'm not familiar with the royal family's affairs. The royal grandson is also an extremely noble existence in the Lin Kingdom's royal family."

"I wonder if you know that the Royal Family and the Wu Kingdom's Eldest Grandson had some unpleasant matters?"

Cold sweat gradually broke out on Lin Dong's forehead. "This, this …"

Yan Sisi said, "Your Highness need not be anxious. If you don't understand, you can slowly think about it."

He waited from morning to afternoon. Seeing that the two people were still unwilling to let him leave, Lin Dong sat on the big chair as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "The Fire Country's second royal grandson has a valiant figure, wise and mighty. He once fought with the Wu Kingdom's royal grandson for a female singer."

"That singer is called Huang Ying. She has a flute and one song can make one's muscles and bones feel comfortable."

"The two of them once had a dispute because of this woman."

Xuan Ping then said, "Since that's the case, the Wu Kingdom's royal grandson being humiliated, such an interesting matter, why doesn't Your Highness invite the Fire Country's second royal grandson over to take a look?"

Lin Dong finally understood Xuan Ping and Yan Sisi's plan at this moment.

"This …"

But when he thought that he was the one who revealed this information, he had already boarded a pirate ship.

He could only say, "Alright, I'll write a letter now and invite the Fire Country's second royal grandson over to take a look."

After Lin Dong left, Wei Qingchen came in and Xuan Ping asked, "Did you hear what Lin Dong said clearly?"

Wei Qingchen cupped his hands and said, "This general understands. I'll go and 'invite' that Huang Ying over!"

He emphasized the word 'invite' to show that he really understood.

Xuan Ping said, "Then go quickly."

During dinner, Chen Qing was discussing with Su Yi about moving the headquarters to the Wu Kingdom.

Yan Sisi came in with two plates of food and placed them in front of Chen Qing with some restraint, "Brother, I made your food today."

Su Yi who was next to her didn't understand what was going on and directly picked up his share to eat, "Thank you, Sister Sisi."

"Mm, the taste is very good."

Su Yi didn't know that the two women in the Wei Palace were poisoning Chen Qing every day.

However, it was always Xuan Ping who did it. Today, Xuan Ping said that she was not free and asked her to do it.

Chen Qing smiled and picked up the food. After tasting it, he ate heartily and said with a smile, "Your cooking is better than your sister's!"

"The wine is colorless and tasteless, and even spicy can play a supporting role. The taste is even better."

"It would appear that you've done a better job than your sister in this aspect."

Su Yi asked doubtfully, "Is it spicy?

Mine is not spicy. "

Under Yan Sisi's gaze, Chen Qing quickly finished his meal in big mouthfuls.

Seeing that Chen Qing had finished eating, Yan Sisi actually revealed a rare trace of a smile.

After half a month, she was finally smiling again.

The reason was simple. Chen Qing being able to eat the highly poisonous dishes she made meant that Chen Qing had really accepted her, and it was not just empty words.

And when Xuan Ping spoke to Lin Dong, she knew what Xuan Ping wanted to do.

She wanted to secretly plot to kill the Wu Country's Eldest Prince!

Avenge her.

Yan Sisi happily kept the bowls and chopsticks, feeling that she had found the feeling of home again.

The second day of the second month.

Yan Sisi and a portion of the Imperial Guard went to the Wu Country to pay respects to Yan Shiying.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yan Sisi led her troops and left.

Deep into the night, the Wu Country's Eldest Prince who had knelt for an entire day before Yan Shiying's Hall, Wu Yi hammered his numb legs and cursed in his heart: [Qing Xu, Yan Shiying will be your end!

You will not have it easy in the future!]

It was deep into the night before the Imperial Guard allowed him to leave. On his way back to the city, Wu Yi heard the familiar sound of a flute.

He had not paid it much attention at first, but when he walked into the middle of the street, in a restaurant at the side, the Yan Country's Second Prince, Sun Yanming, was holding a wine cup in his left hand, and holding a beauty in his right, laughing loudly.

"Wu Yi, even you have such a day!"

"The Eldest Prince, kneeling before a mere martial artist! What a disgrace!"

"The Nine Countries' Royal Family's face has been thrown away by you!"

At that moment, the aggrieved Wu Yi had only been angry, but when he saw that the woman was Huang Ying, he immediately flew into a rage!

"Huang Ying, you!"

"Yan Ming, you're driving me mad!"

With a kick, he leapt up to the second floor, and threw a punch at Yan Ming.

Yan Ming would not be afraid. He immediately summoned all the spirit power in his body and drew his sword to stab at Wu Yi!

Who would have thought that Wu Yi's punch would be so light.

Wu Yi's face showed panic, like he was possessed.

This feeling.

It felt familiar.

[Just like when I ordered that lowly servant Yan Sisi to control others.]

However, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, causing his thoughts to stop there.

Yan Ming's sword through his chest, the Eldest Prince of the Wu Country, died.

Wu Yi, who had used Yan Sisi for his entire life, had died in Yan Sisi's hands or Yan Ming's.

There was an uproar in the crowd. "Murder!"

"The Fire Country's Second Prince has killed the Wu Country's Eldest Prince!"

"Murder!"

"Something big has happened! Quickly report to the Guard Master!"

Yan Ming stared blankly as Wu Yi slowly slid down from his sword and fell onto the street. Fresh blood flowed out like a fountain.

"I didn't want to kill him."

"Why didn't he block it?"

"I really didn't want to kill him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

In a tall building in the distance, there were no lights. In the darkness, Xuan Ping said softly, "Little sister, remember this. We will kill all those people who hurt us."

"We are a family."

"I didn't want to call you back."

"But when I thought about how you could temporarily control others and deal with them with your own hands, I told you to come back secretly."

Yan Sisi opened her mouth and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Aren't I on my way back to the Martial Kingdom?"

"I didn't do anything."

Xuan Ping said: "Alright, alright, alright. Little sister didn't do anything."

"The rest, will be dealt with by your elder brother."

After saying that, the two girls smiled at each other and retreated into the darkness.

A moment later, Chen Qing came over in a mighty carriage. After checking on the situation, his gaze fell upon the Fire Country's Second Prince, Sun Yan Ming.

"Your Highness, you've gotten yourself into big trouble."

Yan Ming's face was ashen and his eyes flashed with panic. He quickly threw away the sword in his hand that was still dripping with blood and said, "No, Guard Master, please listen to me. I didn't want to kill him!"

Chen Qing said: "But you've already killed him!"

"Forget it. I don't have the authority to punish you. But since this happened in my territory, I can't just ignore it."

"I'll detain you temporarily and after reporting this to the Fire Country's Royal Family and the Wu Country's Royal Family, we'll see how they deal with it."

"Don't worry, I won't touch you.

I'll definitely treat you well and serve you well. "

"Right, this Huang Ying, I'll give it to you."

Chen Qing turned the carriage around, ready to go back.

[Yan Shiying, what you didn't dare to do before, I've done it for you.]

Until now, he could accept the twelve Spirit Parasites left behind by Yan Shiying with a clear conscience.

And the only Spirit Parasite left behind by Cheng Tianyou.
