That's What Villains Are Like

"If that's the case, then why does the woman in white owe him so much? What kind of role was Jiang Lan in that incident? Is she a simple victim?"

"It's getting more and more interesting. I discovered such a secret."

"What happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then was covered up so tightly, but there is no airtight wall in this world..."

"It's just who the woman in white is. I never knew that Jiang Lan had a sister before."

"Could it be related to the Kunlun Immortal Ruins that appeared in the world back then? It is really incredible that at such a young age, he has the ability to cultivate the world."

Emperor Xia put away the Sky Monitoring Mirror placed on the document, and stroked the white cat with pure white hair in his arms, while deep in thought.

After the Kunlun Immortal Ruins first appeared, almost all the Taoist forces in the land of Kyushu rushed to go there.

That is the most mysterious realm in the land of Kyushu. It is said that it fell from the immortal realm, and it contains the biggest secret of becoming an immortal.

Even the Daxia royal family sent many powerful men to investigate, but in the end nothing was gained.

She had heard that Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu had gained something from it...

It's just that this kind of thing is too secretive, and the royal family can't investigate and get the slightest hint of it.

And Jiang Lan's sister's strength is indeed incredible. If he faced her alone, Xia Huang probably wouldn't be her opponent.

Unless she mobilizes Daxia's dragon energy blessing and uses many means, she may be able to fight.

This kind of talent can only be described as near-immortal, and it can be said to be unprecedented.

"At least judging from the current situation, the target of her revenge is the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"But at this juncture, we still can't let her act recklessly. If something like this suddenly happens, all the immortal sects are very nervous now..."

Emperor Xia was not afraid of Jiang Rushian's jealousy and hatred because of his peeping.

On that day, the Prime Minister's Mansion mobilized many powerful people and the momentum was huge, which is almost undisguised.

Many immortal sect forces in the imperial capital then sent their spies to follow him secretly.

But it was obvious that she didn't have the same means as her maid Xia Zhu, who was killed on the way.

Even if the royal family pretends to be blind about such a conspicuous matter, it is impossible.

In the court tomorrow, Emperor Xia will definitely speak out and ask about this matter to appease people's hearts.

"I just don't know how Jiang Thief will respond? In order to deal with the former enemy, is that why he mobilized strong men overnight to intercept?"

The corner of Emperor Xia's mouth curled into a slight mocking arc.

After this incident, she gained a lot.

At least I understand Jiang Lan in a real sense.

There were more or less reasons for the words he said in the boat that day.

She never believed that a person would help her for no reason, especially when Jiang Lan was the son of the royal family's current nemesis, the Prime Minister.

but now……

She somewhat understood Jiang Lan. After all, many things happened out of necessity.

Identities and positions do sometimes conflict.

"It's a pity that we still don't know the true ins and outs of the matter." Emperor Xia still felt a little regretful.

The next day, the atmosphere in the imperial capital Jingyang City seemed particularly solemn.

In the court hall, all the princes and ministers did not mention the huge noise and momentum caused by the Prime Minister's government gathering powerful people, as if they were completely unaware of the matter.

Emperor Xia was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then he could only ask in person.

Duke Zhongguo, who looked a bit old, stepped forward and presented the memorial he had already prepared. He also expressed his views on yesterday's events and expressed his concern.

During the special period of the Nanshou exercise, the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly mobilized so many powerful people to come forward, which caused panic.

The major immortal sects in the outside world are asking about the reason for the investigation, hoping that Emperor Xia can give a response to appease people's hearts.

The Imperial Capital of Daxia is the strongest city of the Daxia royal family. Just on the majestic and majestic city wall, there are countless runes and prohibitions engraved on it, which is so majestic that it shocks the whole world.

Once it is activated, the formation will cover the entire city, sealing the sky and suppressing the earth. The immortal sects who came to watch the ceremony will not even think about leaving.

Once Daxia has any evil intentions, then all the immortal sects in the imperial capital will be the turtle in the urn.

Something similar has happened before.

The emperor held a birthday banquet and invited immortals from all over the world to come. As a result, a huge killing array was deployed in the city, killing all the guests from the orthodox forces.

Then he used this as bait to wipe out the immortal and demon sects as well as overseas countries.

Such a big commotion in the Prime Minister's Mansion really made many people panic.

Following Zhongguo's public inquiry.

The other ministers also echoed one after another and mentioned this matter.

Emperor Xia just responded calmly, explaining that the matter was a personal grudge of the Prime Minister's Office and had nothing to do with Da Xia. During the Southern Hunting Exercise, anyone who broke the rules would be severely punished and retaliated by Da Xia.

In the past few days, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian did not come to court because he was ill.

Above the court, Emperor Xia had great power, so naturally no one raised any objections.

Then the news related to this matter spread quickly in the imperial capital, arousing discussion and speculation in various inns and restaurants, streets and alleys, palaces and pavilions. It can be said that there are different opinions.

Although the Xiangguo Mansion is extremely powerful, it does have many enemies. There are quite a lot of overseas ethnic groups that have been suppressed and enslaved by the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years.

In addition, there are some immortal sect forces that have been destroyed one after another because they offended the prime minister's government. The rest are hiding in various places, always waiting for opportunities to retaliate.

As for the mysterious man who was dispatched by the prime minister's government that night and mobilized many strong men to intercept and kill him, who he was and what happened to him in the end is an unknown mystery.

Even the royal family did not leave any news, especially the Supervisor Tiansi and Zhenxian Si, who all remained silent unanimously.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Lan's mental complexion has almost recovered.

He simply recounted what happened last night to his father Jiang Lintian, omitting many details.

Jiang Lintian didn't ask any more questions, but just told him that his mother already knew about Jiang Rushian's return and would probably rush back from Taiyimen soon.

Jiang Lan did have a headache about this.

He just said that he wanted his parents not to get involved in the grudge between him and Jiang Rushian. From now on, the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

If Jiang Rushian insists on taking revenge on the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will not sit idly by and regard him as an enemy.

At the same time, he also told his parents not to send people to find traces of Jiang Rushian and deliberately eradicate the roots.

Jiang Lintian naturally nodded in agreement.

On the contrary, Jiang Lan was worried about his mother. With Li Qingshu's character, it was very likely that she would find someone to do it herself, thus causing a series of troubles for him.

Father Jiang Lintian will consider the overall situation, but mother Li Qingshu doesn't care about that.

The reason why she regretted these years was not because she regretted what she did to Jiang Rushian, but because she did not kill her completely at that time, thus leaving the root of trouble and hurting Jiang Lan later...

Jiang Lan doesn't think he is a good person, but compared with his mother, he still has a lot of bottom lines.

So he also followed up with the message later, so that Li Qingshu did not need to mobilize troops, let alone get involved, so as not to ruin his plan.

Seeing how serious Jiang Lan was, Li Qingshu changed her mind about returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion early, and asked Li Mengning to go back early.

During this period of time in Suiji, the Li family discovered a Void Vault and were actively digging for it. However, they encountered a counterattack by the indigenous people in the Void Vault.

So even Li Qingshu stayed with the Li family and needed to be responsible for some important things.

At this time, the head of the Li family, Li Qingshu's brother and Jiang Lan's uncle, is busy dealing with the next issue of taking power in the three branches of Taiyi Sect.

The other senior members of the Li family's immediate family also had important matters to attend to and were unable to do anything else. That's why Jiang Lan's mother was called back to take charge of the overall situation.

You must know that the void secret discovered this time contains a special natural divine mineral. After being condensed and extracted, it is the core substance that has been lost in ancient elixirs. It is extremely precious.

After confirmation from the top management of the Li family, they decided to mobilize manpower to occupy the Void Vault.

In the years to come, through that natural divine mine, more masters will be born for the Li family to create.

Many of the disciples of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually followed Jiang Lan's mother, otherwise he could have mobilized more powerful people last night.

In the imperial capital, everything is calm on the surface, but in reality there is an undercurrent.

Immortal sects and noble families from all over the world are waiting with their hearts for the start of the Southern Hunting Exercise.

A few days passed quickly.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, a middle-aged woman who still retains her charm stood in a somewhat timid and reserved manner. However, she thought of something and walked forward and informed the guards guarding the door of her purpose.

It was Liu.

In the courtyard, Jiang Lan quickly got the message.

Although it is a bit surprising, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

It's just that the Liu family he created with his own hands came to find him. Was it Jiang Rushian's intention, or was it Liu's own intention?

Then, Jiang Lan ordered his servants to bring Mrs. Liu, and after asking a few casual questions, he found out that Jiang Rushian had not doubted her true identity, but this was also due to his mysterious methods.

By asking Mrs. Liu, he also learned about Jiang Rushian's movements in the past few days.

After sitting in the deserted temple for two days, he took the Liu family on their way again, still walking towards the imperial capital, but separated from the Liu family outside the city.

Mrs. Liu didn't know where Jiang Rushian had gone, but she just followed her instructions to find Jiang Lan and seek refuge with him.

On the other hand, during the two days in that deserted and ruined temple, Jiang Rushian asked Liu about everything he knew. They were all the true memories of what happened to Jiang Lan during that period in his previous life.

However, these memories are not personal experiences, but narrated by a third person.

Although it is less real, it is more heavy and depressing.

Afterwards, Jiang Lan ordered people to arrange a residence and a maid to serve the Liu family outside, and she seemed to be very concerned about it.

If his parents didn't ask about Liu's related news, then he wouldn't take the initiative to explain it.

There were so many people executed at the beginning, so they couldn't tell whether any of them slipped through the net.

After settling the Liu family, Jiang Lan also learned about the royal family's opening of the Qianyuan Mansion.

But he had no interest in this, so he used the excuse of recuperation to study the principles of age in his mansion.

A hazy and mysterious world appears in the depths of the imperial capital, seemingly opening from the void.

There is a mystery in it, shrouded in light mist, steaming clouds, and rich spiritual energy fluctuations, blowing out of it like a heavy fog.

It was faintly visible that a vast and vast world was glowing, accompanied by various bright and astonishing phenomena, and strands of mysterious material like flowing mist escaping from it.

Just a wisp of breath is enough to extend the life of ordinary people, and the scent of mature ancient herbs wafts out from afar.

Dang, Dang, Dang...

The royal family's Daoji ancient bell rang, and the sound shook the entire imperial capital and began to remind everyone.

In the grand square outside the palace, there are already people mingling with each other.

The high platforms everywhere are like floating islands, rising and falling in the mid-air. People are looking forward to them, and the scene is unprecedented.

In the central area of ​​the square, several strong men dressed in eunuch costumes appeared. They worked together to move out a magical mirror as large as a full moon, activated the ancient method, chanted words, and their whole bodies erupted and shone, and rich spiritual energy surged out. Let it hang high in the center.

As bursts of misty light passed by, the blurry mirror there began to become clear, reflecting the Qianyuan Mansion clearly.

Among them, the rows of buildings, pavilions and cave mountains are also faintly revealed, full of sacred atmosphere and fascinating.

It was a real small world, serving as a resting place for the young geniuses of the major forces before the Southern Hunting Exercise.

The younger generations from all the immortal sects rushed over immediately and began to compete for regional positions.

The young prodigies of the ethnic groups who were attached to the Xiangguo Mansion also took the lead in opening up the contested area in the Qianyuan Mansion under the instructions of the elders of the sect.

On the first day that the Qianyuan Mansion was opened, it caused a huge sensation. The younger generation, who could no longer hold back their competitive spirit, started fighting among them.

For some areas, the fighting was intense and blood was everywhere. Pictures of the battle were revealed and the news was synchronized with the outside world, causing an uproar.

Many young people who have been dormant for a long time are waiting for this opportunity to become famous.

This Qianyuan Mansion is the battle platform prepared for them.

As an appetizer before the Nanshou exercise, the royal family also spent a lot of money and prepared several Taoist artifacts deep in the Qianyuan Mansion.

On the second day after the opening of the Qianyuan Mansion, many princes, nobles and the younger generation of wealthy families in the imperial capital also began to die.

Xiao Teng, the third son of Zhenbei King Xiao He, set out with a group of friends and followers, and beside him were many disciples from Yijian Palace.

During this period, he had a good personal relationship with him, and Ye Ming, who walked the world as "Zhang Yuan", was also among them.

In addition to Xiao Teng, many well-known young princes in the imperial capital, such as Xia Jie, the third son of Prince Wu Xuan, Situ Jian, the young master of Zhongguo Duke, the eldest son of Chong'an County Prince, and other princesses all came with their respective The disciples of the family went there to make a name for the family behind them.

It can be said that in this Qianyuan Mansion, nearly 50% of the outstanding young people in Zhongtian State have gathered, and they are all the top beings of their generation.

Ao Xu, Luo Ying and other young geniuses who had followed and assisted Jiang Lan in Anyang City before also appeared among them and started a battle to compete for various areas.

It is not only a place for competition, but also a place for practice. Each different area has different benefits and opportunities.

A group of elders from the immortal sect and high-ranking aristocrats from the outside world were paying close attention to the situation through the round mirror in the central square of the palace.

Where there is contention, there will be fighting, and when there is fighting there will be bloodshed and casualties, but all this is with the tacit approval of all the forces, and the royal family will not interfere.

A magnificent chariot, like a black bird, hangs high above the central square, with curtains like clouds hanging down.

Emperor Xia rarely had such a leisurely time, and the outside world could not see her clearly. She was leaning on the soft bed with a slightly lazy posture.

Chunlan and other maids served beside her, either squeezing her shoulders or beating her legs, or peeling the spiritual fruit for her and bringing it to her mouth.

"No wonder Jiang Lan is so leisurely and lazy. This posture is really comfortable..."

Emperor Xia stretched his soft and slender waist.

The large dragon robe was slightly tightened, revealing its astonishing and graceful curves, which were too full to hold.

She occasionally glanced at the situation in the circular mirror in the center of the square, paying attention to some of the more interesting battles, and then quickly lost interest and shook her head rather boringly.

"I have a good grasp of the situation of the younger generation of all major aristocratic families, so I am not surprised by the situation."

"On the other hand, among all the immortal sects and traditions, many talented people have emerged over the past few years, and their abilities and talents are also impressive..."

"The Taiyi Sect, Yaochi Sect, Mingyuan Sect, and Biyou Dongtian just sent some ordinary elders to deal with them as they pleased, and they indeed paid less and less attention to the royal family."

"When my cultivation reaches the eighth realm and I completely master the national weapons, these problems will slowly be solved..."

Emperor Xia gently stroked the white cat in his arms.

She didn't expect that she could be able to intimidate all the immortal sects like the founding emperor of Great Xia.

As the current leader of the Immortal Sect in Zhongtian Prefecture, Taiyi Sect has a profound foundation, huge power, and close relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion. She can understand that Daxia is not taken seriously.

But the attitudes of the immortal sects such as Yaochi Sect, Mingyuan Sect, and Biyou Dongtian need to be considered...

Then, her eyes swept over the high platform where the Prime Minister's Mansion was located. Compared to other aristocratic families, it was much cooler there, with only a few retainers dealing with it.

Prime Minister Jiang Lintian did not show up and seemed not to care much about this matter.

"Why haven't you seen any movement from Jiang Lan in the past few days?"

"Could it be that you were too seriously injured after taking out your heart and repaying it to your sister?"

"But after he got the Immortal Fetus Creation Dew, his physical body transformed into an Immortal Fetus. That injury, coupled with the healing of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Prime Minister's Palace, shouldn't be a serious problem."

"I had some expectations for him."

Emperor Xia shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.

Qianyuan Mansion has been open for several days, but Jiang Lan has not seen any movement.

In fact, many people are paying attention to him and want to know how his cultivation is now.

But I don't know if Jiang Lan is relying on his identity or if he doesn't care about it. There has been no news for several days.

Night, Xu time.

Emperor Xia went to Yuxianfang again, but she didn't meet Jiang Lan there, which made her feel a little regretful.

But then, on her way back to the palace, she met someone she didn't expect at all.

To be precise, it was not that they encountered him, but that he was intercepted by the other party.

The moonlight is bright, the mist is steaming, and there are many palaces and pavilions on both sides, which is extremely magnificent.

However, this alleyway seemed a little quiet, and the sounds of the surrounding world were quickly disappearing, seeming to be separated from the original world.

"Protect Your Majesty."

The four maids following Emperor Xia, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, and Dongmei, instantly stared ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.

Among them, Xia Zhu looked solemn and extremely fearful.

On the wall of a palace, a figure in white, as cold as a painting, as otherworldly as an immortal, stood there quietly.
