At this moment, Ghost Mandrill felt that the world in his senses had undergone great changes.
The distance that was originally unperceivable is now as clear as if it is right in front of you.
The sunshine, the breeze, the ants in the corner of the courtyard outside the house, the singing birds in the tree a mile away, and even Jin Jiawei's breathing and heartbeat.
Everything is under control.
I can do anything!
I am a god!
The ghost mandrill suspended in mid-air suddenly had such an arrogant thought.
Shrouded by the powerful power emanating from him, everyone in the entire hall lost the ability to move regardless of friend or foe.
Compared with the surprised expressions of Wang Meng and others, the faces of the five golden armored guards all showed signs of despair.
At this time, the mandrill was like a lofty dark king, looking down at the five insignificant enemies with contempt and sympathy.
"Be more careful in your next life. As an ant, don't provoke the dragon at will!"
He sneered, flicked his right index finger, and shot out several black spiritual flames, which landed on the golden armored guard accurately.
Accompanied by wailing sounds, the five Heavenly Wheel masters who had overwhelmed Wang Meng and others a moment ago were instantly turned into ashes, leaving only withered bones on the ground.
"Brother Gui Mandrill, you, you..." Sima Rou looked at Gui Mandrill floating in the air, feeling surprised and happy in her heart. She wanted to say something, but for a moment she didn't know how to say it.
"Advanced?" Wang Meng took the lead and said.
"Not bad." Ghost Mandrill's expression was still unruly, but there was a rare lack of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Okay, that's good!" Wang Meng's pale face showed an expression of relief, and then her body swayed, unable to hold on anymore, and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"General Wang, General Wang!"
Sima Rou's anxious voice came to his ears.
The lady's voice is so beautiful, like fairy music!
Thinking like this, Wang Meng slowly closed her eyes and fell into coma.
The Qingyun Mountain Range is a beautiful place with many mountains and beautiful scenery. In the past, the four main peaks of Qingyun, Qingsong, Qingfeng and Qingcheng all occupied the power of cultivators.
Among them, only the "Qingyun Village" located on Qingyun Mountain is a bandit force composed of desperadoes.
Since the Battle of Leiyin Valley, all the young people from Guan Tongtian, the leader of the village, to those in the village have died at the hands of Zhong Wen and others. Today, there are only a few women, old and young left on Qingyun Mountain, and their lives are very miserable.
difficult.
In order to expand the elixir production capacity of "Qingfeng Pavilion", Qiao Erniang once bought a large area of spiritual fields under Qingyun Mountain and hired women from the village to help with farming. This provided some life security for these orphans and widows, but she still could not change the situation.
The current situation of poverty in the village.
However, one day, a big shot suddenly came to the village.
A rich and handsome young man with fluttering white clothes.
Even the young, old, women and children in the village who have never seen the world can easily identify the aristocratic temperament of the young man in white.
The nobility of some people has penetrated into their bones. Even if they want to hide it, a clue will be revealed in their movements.
The women on the mountain had never seen such a handsome man before, and there were only a few men left in the village. They couldn't help but feel aroused and wanted to rush forward and show off their coquettishness to win the attention of the noble master.
However, the women's wishes were difficult to realize after all, because the young man in white was followed by many guards, all of them tall and tall, holding fierce weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of alertness, as if to warn the women that if they dare
One step closer and her blood will be splattered on the spot.
And the lady in red who followed closely beside the young master in white made the women on the mountain feel ashamed and had no desire to compare.
Compared with the beauty of the lady in red, Sun Yu'e, the most beautiful woman in the village, was simply ugly.
Even though it was impossible to "tempt" the young man in white to fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix, the visit of the noble man still brought a lot of benefits to the village.
Perhaps out of guilt for "occupying" Qingyun Mountain, the noble man was very generous and distributed a spiritual crystal to every household in the village as compensation.
The official value of a spiritual crystal is equivalent to one hundred silver dollars, but when it is actually circulated, it has a price but no market. In a remote place like Qingyun Mountain, it is already considered a huge sum of money.
That night, every household ate meat for the first time in a long time, and the entire village was immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
After that, the young man in white and his entourage chose a place on Qingyun Mountain to build a villa, and settled down there with no intention of leaving.
The women no longer have the pressure of life, and their hearts for gossip begin to burn. They all speculate about the origin of this young man in white. The poor people in the village have limited vision, and they can only guess that he is the son of a rich man in the city.
, or a descendant of a certain Southern Xinjiang Province official.
It wasn't until one day that one of the attendants of Mr. Zibai accidentally said the word "Prince", and the women realized that they had underestimated the noble man after all.
Realizing the huge difference in status, the young women, including the "walled beauty" Sun Yu'e, finally completely extinguished their thoughts of hooking up. As a result, both parties were at peace with each other and got along quite harmoniously.
Every morning when the sky gets slightly brighter, the young man in white will come to the cliff on the top of the mountain and sit cross-legged, staring quietly into the distance, not knowing what he is thinking about.
And in the evening, he will come to the top of the mountain again and dance with his sword, with a vigorous and graceful posture, like a fairy.
At this time, the women in the village would find various reasons to go to the woods near the top of the mountain and admire the handsome appearance and handsome figure of the young man in white like a man possessed. Their eyes were shining with care, like flowers.
Like crazy, I don't want to leave for a long time.
Even if you can't have anything happen with him, just looking at the handsome guy is pleasing to the eye, that's still great.
Women thought so and developed such a new hobby.
Day after day, time passed slowly in the ordinary, until one day, a group of official servants suddenly appeared on the mountain, and the people in the village finally knew the true identity of the young man in white.
The third son of Emperor Daqian.
The peerless genius who ranks number one on the Daqian Heroes List.
Prince Wu, Li Qing!
Even in a remote place like the Qingyun Mountains, a legend as brilliant as Li Qing is still a household name and no one knows about him.
Although people may not be able to figure out who is second, third and fourth in the list of heroes.
When the official went up the mountain, the women hiding in the woods witnessed the whole process of Prince Wu's contact with the visitor.
In short, the officials respectfully requested Prince Wu to return to the imperial capital, but Li Qing politely refused.
Unable to get the answer they wanted, the officials did not force it, but left Qingyun Mountain respectfully.
Prince Wu Li Qing continued to live a regular and ordinary life in the mountains as before.
A few days later, another wave of official missions arrived on the mountain. The leading official still respectfully expressed to Prince Wu his willingness to welcome him back to the imperial capital. Li Qing did not change his original intention and rejected the visitor in the same tone. ask.
This cycle repeated several times, and the level of officials seemed to be improving every time they went up the mountain.
Just when the women thought that this senseless game would go on forever, the situation suddenly changed.
The person who came up to the mountain for the fifth time to ask for help turned out to be Xia Nanfeng, the newly appointed governor of Southern Xinjiang of the Daqian Empire.
According to imperial practice, if you want to serve as the governor of a province, you must have a spiritual master-level cultivation, be loyal to the Li family, and cannot serve as the head elder of a cultivation sect.
In the secular world, Lingzun bosses are rare, and most of them hold high positions in the cultivation sects. This makes candidates for governors very scarce. After the Imperial Capital War, the positions of governors of China and Zhejiang and southern Xinjiang became vacant for a time. Jiuye suffered from a severe headache.
At this time, Xia Nanfeng, a cultivation genius of the Yunjin noble Xia family, broke through to the realm of the Supreme Spirit Master at the age of 120, which solved Li Jiuye's urgent need. So with a stroke of his pen, the emperor transferred the governor of Southern Xinjiang to the Supreme Spirit Realm. The letter of appointment was sent to the Xia family, designating him as the successor of the traitor Sima Gu.
The emergence of a governor in the family is a great joy even for the wealthy Xia family. Naturally, Xia Nanfeng would not refuse. After receiving the letter of appointment, he quickly packed his bags and arrived excitedly. The Governor-General of Southern Xinjiang Province took office.
He thought that by being promoted to a high-ranking official, he would be able to flex his muscles and make a great career, but unexpectedly, just a few days after taking office, an imperial edict followed, which made his head turn gray with worry.
Just because the emperor personally issued an order to bring Prince Wu Li Qing, who was hiding out, back to the imperial capital. The words "at any cost, by any means necessary" in the imperial order were very eye-catching in the eyes of Xia Nanfeng, who had a keen political intuition.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of the eldest prince Li Yan in the East Palace is definitely not guaranteed. Li Jiuye has not yet issued the decree to abolish the prince because he is waiting for his most beloved third prince Li Qing to return to the imperial capital.
However, Prince Wu didn't know what he was thinking about. No matter how many times he sent people to invite him, he refused to give in and refused to go down the mountain.
Seeing that the deadline given by the emperor was about to pass, Xia Nanfeng, the new governor, finally couldn't hold himself back and planned to personally take action and "use any means necessary" to send Prince Wu back to the imperial capital so that he could report to the emperor.
"Wei Chen has met the prince."
Facing a brilliant imperial genius like Li Qing, Xia Nanfeng did not dare to act like a spiritual master at all, and his attitude was so respectful that he did not look like a provincial governor at all.
"Governor Xia." Li Qing had a gentle smile on his face.
"Now that the turmoil in the imperial capital has been subsided, the traitor Shu Shu and his accomplices have also been thrown into the heavenly prison." Xia Nanfeng said word by word, "In accordance with your majesty's decree, I have come here to invite the prince to return to the imperial capital."
"I also asked Governor Xia to report back to my father, saying that I am in this place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and seeing the growth of all things. I have a lot of insights in my heart, and I want to retreat here to understand the path of cultivation." Li Qing said this.
His rhetoric was no different from when he faced previous groups of officials, "I don't plan to go back for the time being."
"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me." Xia Nanfeng said with a troubled expression, "Your Majesty has decreed that I must bring you back to the imperial capital no matter what means I use, even if I use force."
"Does Governor Xia want to take action against this king?" Li Qing still had a smile on his face, but the eyes of Suzaku, Qinglong and others beside him showed wariness, and they pressed their right hands on their weapons.
"I dare not be disrespectful to the prince." Xia Nanfeng tried his best to keep his tone gentle, "I also ask the prince not to embarrass the prince."
As the leader of the Lingzun, he was naturally confident that he could take down Li Qing. However, when he thought that the man in front of him was not only extremely talented, but also more likely to be the next imperial prince and the future emperor of Daqian, he felt extremely painful.
He hated Emperor Li Jiuye for arranging such a thankless job for him.
"I am well aware of Governor Xia's difficulties." Li Qinghe said cheerfully, "However, in life, things often go wrong, and it is always difficult to have both ends. Please forgive me."
"Is the prince really unwilling to go back with this minister?" Xia Nanfeng looked bitter, scolding all three generations of the old Li family in his heart, but he did not dare to be rude in the slightest.
"I won't go." Li Qing shook his head decisively.
"The emperor's orders are on my side, so I have no choice but to offend." Xia Nanfeng sighed, bowed slightly to Li Qing and saluted, and then his body slowly floated into the air.
A powerful spiritual pressure emanated from Xia Nanfeng, covering an area of several tens of feet.
Zhuque and others felt their whole bodies stiffen, and the spiritual power in their bodies instantly lost their response, making it extremely difficult to move. The women who were hiding in the woods and peeping had no cultivation skills, and it was even more unbearable.
"Falled to the ground.
"Xia Nanfeng, you are so brave!" Bai Hu has a hot temper. Seeing Xia Nanfeng take the initiative, he couldn't help but cursed, "How dare you be rude to the prince!"
Now that he was determined to take action, Xia Nanfeng no longer had any scruples. He ignored Bai Hu's accusations and directly stretched out his right hand. His spiritual power turned into a huge palm and grabbed Li Qing's direction: "Your Majesty, follow me.
Let me go!"
Seeing that the giant palm of spiritual power was about to touch Li Qing's body, Suzaku and others all showed anxious looks on their faces.
However, just as Xia Nanfeng's majestic palm came close to Li Qing's body, he suddenly retracted it as if holding a cactus.
The new governor of southern Xinjiang had an expression of disbelief on his face, and his mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff an entire egg into it.
