Chapter 694 Hong Xiao's Advancement
Chu Kun was not a man without vision. From the current situation, it was obvious that Princess Hongxiao had a close relationship with Ye Chunyang. How could he dare to refuse Princess Hongxiao's request?
Seeing that Chu Kun had already agreed to her request before she even said it, Princess Hongxiao was also puzzled, but she didn't think much about it. She turned around and looked at the servants of the palace and said, "They are all people in my palace. They were innocently implicated this time. I would like to ask Senior Chu to escort them away and find a safe place to live in seclusion to avoid being killed by the Giant Spirit Sect again."
As if he didn't expect Princess Hongxiao to have such a request, Chu Kun looked at Ye Chunyang, looking a little hesitant.
"The Giant Spirit Sect's attack this time was unsuccessful, and they will definitely investigate in the future. The mortals in the palace cannot resist it. Fellow Daoist Chu, why don't you escort them!" Ye Chunyang said this with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
How could Chu Kun refuse? He immediately patted his chest with a solemn face and assured Princess Hong Xiao: "Don't worry, Princess, I will leave these people to me. I will definitely protect them!"
"Thank you very much, Senior Chu." Seeing Chu Kun's strange treatment of Ye Chunyang, Princess Hong Xiao had some doubts in her eyes, but still nodded gratefully.
After that, she said to everyone: "Hong Xiao apologizes to everyone who was implicated by the disaster in Prince Ning's Mansion today, but I, Hong Xiao, swear that the blood of everyone in the palace will not be shed in vain. One day, I will let the Juling Sect pay for their blood debt with blood and avenge those dead companions!"
"Plop", "Plop", "Plop"...
The heavy kneeling sounds came one after another, and everyone in the palace knelt down one after another, with sadness on their faces.
Among the corpses on the ground, their parents, children, relatives and friends all suffered misfortunes overnight, and the grief in their hearts could only be expressed silently.
Princess Hongxiao's eyes were red. Looking at her now, it seemed that she was no longer the pampered princess of the palace. She no longer had the snobbish and noble air of the past, but had become more resolute and mature.
Ye Chunyang sighed softly. This incident actually made Princess Hongxiao grow up.
"Senior Chu, I'll leave everyone in the palace to you. You will take the treasures from the Lizhen Pavilion and distribute them to everyone, then take them away!" Princess Hongxiao calmed down and said to Chu Kun.
"Lizhen Pavilion! That is all the treasures of the prince during his lifetime. Do you really want to take them out and distribute them to everyone?"
Chu Kun was shocked. He knew very well what Lizhen Pavilion meant. All the treasures that King Ning had obtained in his life were stored in it. The value was probably equivalent to half of the treasury of Yuanzhou. Even as a servant in the palace, Chu Kun rarely had the opportunity to go in. Hearing that Princess Hongxiao was going to distribute all the treasures, he really felt unbelievable.
"The Ning Palace no longer exists. What's the point of having more treasures?" Princess Hongxiao laughed at herself.
She looked at Chu Kun and said, "Senior Chu, just take them out. After distributing them to everyone, you can take whatever is left. Just consider it as my reward for asking you to settle the people in the palace."
Chu Kun's eyes lit up, but he kept saying, "Princess, you are too kind. The prince treated me well when he was alive. It is my duty to settle the people. How can I refuse? Princess, you can rest assured to leave them to me."
Princess Hongxiao did not comment.
How could she not know that this old man loves money like his life? If there is no benefit to give him, Princess Hongxiao cannot entrust the people in the palace to this person with peace of mind.
"Doctor Ye, let's go."
After explaining everything, Princess Hongxiao took a last look at the palace. Before tonight, this huge Ning Palace was still full of laughter and bright lights, but in the blink of an eye, the family was broken and people died, and it became a hell on earth.
Princess Hongxiao had great hatred and sadness in her heart, but in the end, she turned around and slowly disappeared at the gate without saying a word.
Ye Chunyang looked at the back of this woman, feeling a little emotional.
Princess Hongxiao's journey might be the separation between immortals and mortals, or it might be a thorny and bloody road of revenge, but it would undoubtedly change the trajectory of her future destiny. However, this is how things are in the world, and who can predict what will happen in the future?
Ye Chunyang sighed, looked at Chu Kun, and moved his lips slightly to say something to him. The latter immediately looked serious, nodded silently and sent him off.
…
It was not yet dawn.
In a mysterious fairy mountain somewhere thousands of miles away from Yuanzhou, layers of clouds and mist covered the mountain, forming a barrier to cover the mountain. If it were not for a person with a high level of cultivation, no one would have thought that there was an ancient immortal sect hidden here.
This is the mountain gate of the Giant Spirit Gate. After passing through the cloud barrier, the scenery changes dramatically. It is still dark outside, but it is as bright as day inside. There are attics and palaces everywhere, and there are also spiritual birds playing and disciples practicing.
If a mortal comes here, he might think he has accidentally entered a fairyland.
At this time, in a small secret room in the gate, the surroundings are brightly lit. An old man is supporting the table with his right hand and his left hand on his knee. His index finger is tapping lightly, and he is thinking about something with a gloomy face.
He is wearing a brown robe, with white hair and black eyebrows. He looks old, but he is like a teenager on both sides, and there is no trace of him at all.
After sitting quietly for a long time, the old man suddenly said, "Come here!"
Amid the rumbling sound, a young monk in his early twenties pushed the door open and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Uncle Sun, what instructions do you have?"
The old man was silent for a while, and said, "Send someone to check where my nephew is recently. If you find his whereabouts, call him back to the sect immediately!"
The young monk was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about Junior Brother Sun Gan?"
"Yes, this is my nephew. Who else could I have?" The old man in brown robe rolled his eyes strangely and hummed.
Seeing that the old man seemed to be in a bad mood, the young monk felt cold for a moment, but then he seemed to think of something and said quickly: "Speaking of Junior Brother Sun Qian, I met him not long ago. At that time, I saw him hurriedly going out. Disciple Out of curiosity, I asked some questions, but Junior Brother Sun Qian's words were ominous and he only wanted to go to Yuanzhou Country."
"Yuanzhou Kingdom? That is the territory of Feixianmen. Our faction has always been at odds with them. What is he doing there?" The old man asked in surprise.
"I don't know the specific details. I only heard from Junior Brother Sun that he found a very important treasure there and wanted to get it." The young disciple did not dare to hide anything and quickly told everything he knew.
The old man in brown robe frowned deeply.
After a moment, he said with a serious expression: "Check! Check hard for me! Just now I suddenly felt that the spirit mark left in Sun Qian's body disappeared. If I guessed correctly, he has probably encountered something. Unexpectedly, if you go to Yuanzhou in person, you will see people alive and corpses when you die!"
"yes!"
The young disciple responded with a bang and quickly bowed and retreated.
"slow!"
At this moment, the old man raised his hand and threw a palm-sized jade object into the hands of the young disciple, saying: "This is the soul-breaking jade that I carefully refined using Taoism. If you take this object with you, Sun Qian will still be alive." You can sense his location, and if something unexpected happens to him, this thing can also restore what happened at that time through his breath."
The young disciple took the jade object and stroked it, only to see a powerful divine mark on it. He immediately took the order and put it away, saying: "Uncle, don't worry, I will find out the clues about Junior Brother Sun as soon as possible."
"Go! If you have any news, inform me as soon as possible!" The old man nodded and waved the young disciple away.
The secret room quickly returned to silence.
…
A few months later.
On an official road paved with sand and gravel, two figures were walking slowly. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two young men, a man and a woman. They were riding horses. The man was dressed in dark clothes and had an ordinary appearance, while the woman was handsome and beautiful, with an innate delicacy between her eyebrows and a hint of perseverance.
It was Ye Chunyang and Princess Hongxiao who went to Feixianmen after leaving Yuanzhou Kingdom.
The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, and just walked in silence, which invisibly added a bit of solemnity.
"Doctor Ye, it's getting late today. Why don't we rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow?" I don't know how long we walked until we arrived outside a dense forest. Princess Hongxiao pulled the reins to stop the horse. After coming down, he turned his head and said to Ye Chunyang.
Ye Chunyang raised his head slightly and saw that it was indeed dusk. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Princess, please wait here while I go pick up some firewood."
After that, he tied up his horse and walked towards the forest on foot.
Princess Hongxiao didn't say much. She just kneaded the secrets and meditated on the spot, practicing silently.
But not long after entering samadhi, something suddenly happened.
A strange sound came from the body. Princess Hongxiao's dress moved automatically without any wind, and ripples of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye were winding around. After the "crackling" sound continued, the ferocious spiritual energy suddenly burst out, making its breath Increased several times.
Princess Hongxiao opened her eyes in disbelief, then turned her hands and looked carefully several times, the shock on her face gradually turned into a look of joy.
"I broke through the fifth level of Qi refining so easily!"
She was overjoyed.
Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and took out a bottle of elixir and a jade slip from his arms, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"You can kill the foundation-building monks with one blow, and the skills and elixirs you gave me are so wonderful. Who are you?" Princess Hongxiao murmured to herself.
This breakthrough was truly unexpected. According to her original speed, she would never have advanced so quickly. The reason for this was because she had been silently practicing the techniques given by Ye Chunyang for the past few months and taking pills to assist her.
Princess Hongxiao was surprised to find that after practicing this technique, her cultivation level became increasingly better, and she even advanced to the first level in just a few months. The harvest was far beyond her expectation.
"It seems that you have made rapid progress and have actually broken through the fifth level of Qi refining."
A faint chuckle came from the side, and Princess Hongxiao woke up with a start. When she turned around and saw Ye Chunyang returning, she quickly bowed her hands and said: "Hongxiao's rapid progress is all due to the pills and exercises given by Doctor Ye. The kindness is so red and unforgettable.”
Ye Chunyang smiled and didn't answer, picked up dry wood and started a fire on the ground.
In fact, what he gave to Princess Hongxiao were only ordinary pills and techniques, but even so, they were rare and precious things in the world for the monks in the Qi refining stage.
