Chapter 144, South Elephant City
Chapter 144, South Elephant City
The revival of spiritual energy has only become known to the general public in the past two years. For the vast majority of people, they have just embarked on the path of cultivation. When most people are still only Qi training cultivators, Jindan realm cultivators are undoubtedly powerful existences.
However, now, a cultivator in the late Jindan stage turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, which directly shocked everyone who witnessed this scene. Even the dignitaries from all parties who were secretly paying attention to the development of the situation were extremely solemn.
It is not easy to cultivate a Jindan realm cultivator, even for the powerful and wealthy who have long known about the revival of spiritual energy and have seized some cultivation resources in advance. Even among the royal family, the number of Jindan cultivators is decreasing as each one dies.
The former Nanxiang County government office, now the Nanxiang Prefecture government office, Prince Fu stood on the watchtower in the government office, looking in the direction of Lingguang Palace with a gloomy face.
The imperial court has already sent soldiers to block all the intersections, and its attitude has made it clear that Lingguang Palace must submit to the imperial court. He did not expect that the master of Lingguang Palace would dare to take the initiative to spread the news of recruiting monks and openly go against the imperial court.
He originally wanted to let his Jindan cultivator teach the Lord of Lingguang Palace a lesson, but he never expected that he would be killed in one move.
Prince Fu felt a flame burning in his chest. Now that Nanxiang Prefecture was under his control, Lingguang Palace was undoubtedly slapping him in the face: "Someone! Notify the Heaven Department and have them send the Demon Suppression Army to block the intersection. Anyone who dares to enter or leave Lingguang Palace will be killed without mercy."
Compared to Prince Fu's anger, others were happy to see it.
For some powerful people and aristocratic families, they have long wanted to stop being controlled by the royal family, but due to some reasons, they are unable to express their opinions openly. Now that someone has taken the lead, it will not be surprising if they continue to act in the same way in the future.
As for ordinary people who have spiritual roots and want to practice but cannot find a way, Lingguang Palace's strong attitude and demonstrated strength give them even greater confidence.
Some people had previously been afraid to take risks due to concerns about the imperial blockade, but now they are not so afraid anymore. Looking at the dozens of people bathed in flames behind the archway, they are becoming more and more eager to take action.
Outside the main hall of Lingguang Palace, Hua Changxi saw that there were more people on the Flint Square below. The corners of his mouth curled up, and then he turned back to the main hall to continue practicing.
As the morning light broke, Hua Changxi walked out of the main hall with a red book in his hand. The title of the book was "Suzaku Army Roster".
An Ran: Fire spiritual root, with Phoenix bloodline.
An Ze: Fire spiritual root, with Phoenix bloodline.
Yun You: Fire spiritual root, with blue phoenix bloodline.
Su Yu: Fire spiritual root, with Golden Crow bloodline.
Ye Liyue: Fire spiritual root, with Bifang bloodline.
Liu Shuyi: Fire spiritual root.
Qin Zhilan: Fire spiritual root.
Hua Changxi looked at the automatically generated list and was somewhat surprised at the high technology of the ancient era of cultivating immortals. Not only could it detect spiritual roots, it could also detect what kind of bloodline one had.
Moreover, last night alone, eighteen people received the Suzaku teachings. Together with An Ran and An Ze who had come before, the Suzaku Army now has twenty members.
Hua Changxi sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the training hall opposite the Transmission Hall, so he sent out his spiritual sense to investigate. When he saw that the eighteen people who had received the transmission of skills last night had all dispersed their cultivation and chose to start over, he could not help but show surprise on his face.
"These people are all ruthless people. Their cultivation can be destroyed in an instant."
Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level has reached the late stage of Qi Hai Realm and can break through to Jin Dan at any time. It is decisive enough to just disperse his cultivation level like this.
However, Hua Changxi soon showed an understanding on her face. The people who dared to enter Lingguang Palace on the first day when she spread the news and risked being held accountable by the court were enough to show that they were people who dared to be the first.
Such people have strong subjective initiative. As long as they know what they want, they will be decisive and quick in making decisions.
Hua Changxi did not disturb them, nor did she show up to see them, because Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou were going to give lectures at the No. 6 Qihuang Hall next, and she had nothing to do if she returned to the Medical Department, so she simply returned to the main hall, took out the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials and started to make pills.
... "What? Prince Fu sent people to attack Lingguang Palace. Is he crazy?"
In the Heaven Department, Wei Zhenjie felt terrible when he learned that Prince Fu had sent a cultivator in the late Jindan stage to attack Lingguang Palace.
The Four Spirits are the supreme beings in the Four Spirit Realm, and they are the will of the interface. Lingguang Palace represents the power of Suzaku, and attacking Lingguang Palace is disrespectful to Suzaku and will suffer backlash.
Chu Junyi: "Master, Prince Fu wants to mobilize the Demon Suppression Army to block the Lingguang Palace intersection..."
Wei Zhenjie interrupted him directly: "Don't worry about him, and don't have any contact with him in the near future."
Chu Junyi looked over in confusion.
Wei Zhenjie said mysteriously: "Prince Fu will definitely have bad luck during this period. If he can't resolve it, the fortune of the royal family will be affected by him."
Chu Junyi was stunned. "Just because he sent people to attack Lingguang Palace? In this case, wouldn't Lingguang Palace be above everyone else? We can't offend the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace in any way?"
Wei Zhenjie: "Of course we cannot be disrespectful to Lingguang Hall. As for the people inside, it depends on the situation. The Lord of Lingguang Hall is only in charge of Lingguang Hall temporarily, and she cannot represent Suzaku."
Chu Junyi nodded after hearing this, and then continued: "If we ignore Prince Fu, the Emperor and the Emperor will probably make trouble."
Wei Zhenjie was silent for a moment. "I'll go to the palace later. If Prince Fu dares to act recklessly, the emperor will consider the overall situation. With the revival of spiritual energy, the luck of the royal family is already declining. The emperor and the emperor emeritus dare not and will not do anything that will damage the luck of the royal family."
After hearing this, Chu Junyi said nothing more.
Wei Zhenjie thought of something and reminded Chu Junyi: "During this period of time, you should go to Nanxiang County more often. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has predicted that the stars in the south are changing rapidly and have subtly suppressed the north, east, and west. I'm afraid there will be major changes in the near future."
Chu Junyi was puzzled: "What big change will happen?"
Wei Zhenjie looked at his apprentice and said, "Nanxiang County... This name is wrong. It should be called Nanxiang. It's not a county, but a city, Nanxiang City."
"In ancient times, on the Central Continent, the human race and the demon race were constantly fighting each other. Apart from the sects and Buddhist sects, the powerful people on all sides relied on cities to develop, and there was no unified country. Even if there was, the country would not last long. It would either be conquered by the demons or eaten by the humans. The cities with relatively strong strength would survive the longest."
"The most powerful forces in the Central Continent are the five holy places and the four major cities located in the Central Continent. South Elephant City is one of them. In addition, there are East Elephant City, West Elephant City, and North Elephant City."
"You have the blood of the Fire Kirin. Nanxiang City is the stronghold of the Suzaku Continent in the Central Continent. The fire spirit energy is the most concentrated and pure. In addition to the City Lord's Mansion, Nanxiang City also has nine blessed caves. If you can obtain a cave, it will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation."
"Lingguang Palace has already appeared, and Nanxiang City is probably not far away."
After hearing this, Chu Junyi immediately nodded and said, "Disciple will remember this."
Afterwards, Wei Zhenjie went into the palace, and Chu Junyi also sent away the people sent by Prince Fu.
"Commander, if we don't block the Lingguang Palace intersection, King Fu will send other monks there, right?"
"Let him be."
"If you ask me, blocking the intersection won't stop people from coming. It's better to just open it up."
"Who is Prince Fu? He is the younger brother of the Emperor and the beloved son of the Emperor Emeritus. He has been getting whatever he wants for many years. Now that he has been slapped in the face like this, it would be strange if he would give up."
"If I were the Lord of Lingguang Palace, I would kill all those who were blocking the road. Even if Prince Fu didn't give up, his men wouldn't send themselves to die."
"I think the Lord of Lingguang Palace must have other considerations. The imperial court's blockade of the intersection is, to some extent, a test for those who want to enter Lingguang Palace to obtain the skills."
"That's true."
