Chapter 324: Chapter 273: How About Becoming A Prince Consort?_1

When Yu Yanjun was killed with one punch, the immortal treasure ’Wuqu Pojun’ was also shattered. Everyone watching the battle outside the altar fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

All the civil and military ministers and students of the Guozi Bureau, looking at Yu Hongshang, who was surrounded by the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram and possessed an emperor-like supreme majesty, were all rendered speechless.

After three full breaths, everyone gradually regained their senses, and then the scene buzzed with exclamations.

"So strong!"

"Is this the princess? The current Princess Changle?"

"Heavenly level? This divine majesty, it must be heavenly level, right?"

"More than that? Ordinary heavenly levels may not even be as strong as the princess. Who else could shatter an immortal treasure with bare hands?"

"After all, it is an immortal treasure, presumably dozens of precious materials were used to make it during the Taizu Era, and she just shattered it."

"What a pity. What a pity! If these two armguards were controlled by heavenly level powerhouses, even the Mongolian Khan Yexian and their state preceptor Abas might not be rival to them. The princess should have kept them."

"You are overthinking. This immortal treasure should correspond only to the Jianling bloodline. Otherwise, an eighth house level endeavoring to control an immortal treasure would have been drained of its energy long ago."

"Tsk! It seems that there’s something uh - em, special between Mr. Hufa and Princess."

Within the altar, Yu Hongchang took a deep look at the deceased Yu Yanjun and then came to Li Xuan. She bent down, looking at the green spot on Li Xuan’s chest with a doting look, her eyes filled with remorse.

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault - "

Yu Hongchang reached out, stroking Li Xuan’s chest, trying to use her own strength to eliminate the Yinsha for Li Xuan. But she found that she couldn’t control her own power at all, and the Yin-Yang spiral of her Zhenyuan ended up tearing a wound open on Li Xuan’s chest.

Xuan!

She looked panicked and hastily withdrew her hand.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn’t help laughing loudly, "What’s the big deal about this? Can’t I live for more than twenty days? Don’t worry! In three days at most, I will reach the fifth house level. With you, my ’killer’ Guardian Spirit, I will eventually get rid of these Yesha. If you feel guilty Shang, just give me some elixirs to suppress them. You hurt me like this, you can’t just leave me alone."

As he said this, he couldn’t help but emerge with a bit of disappointment.

Li Xuan wondered if he was a masochist? He had clearly got rid of a huge burden, but he couldn’t feel happy at all.

Right, it must be because he couldn’t fulfill the grand endeavor ’"Life and Death Friendship, Ghostly Knight" in this world, what a pity - "

Upon hearing this, Yu Hongchang couldn’t help but chuckle, but then her face shifted. She held her forehead for a moment, and then she completely lost her strength and collapsed in Li Xuan’s arms.

Seeing her with her eyes closed and her body burning abnormally, Li Xuan knew that the effect of the Winged Devil soul crystal had passed.

"Tingtian, what should I do now? She’s not in any danger right now, is she? And, how do I get out of here now?"

"I’m not Yue Qianqian, how should I know?" Tingtian Ao muttered and complained, "Wait, I’ll go ask someone who might know."

At this time, no one noticed that the golden energy created by the shattering of the ’Taotie, the Gluttonous Beast’ and ’Wuqu Pojun’ armguards, had once again vaguely assembled in mid-air inside the altar. It was two stars and the shadow of the Taotie.

First, they formed two strands of energy that rushed into Yu Hongchang’s body, but then they were forced out by the intense conflicting Yin and Yang forces within Yu Hongchang’s body, preventing them from entering.

About thirty breaths later, the color of the energy dimmed slightly. With a sense of helplessness, they had to change direction and enter Li Xuan’s body from behind.

The whole process was silent, and Li Xuan didn’t notice anything unusual until the golden energy had completely entered his body. He was constantly worrying about Yu Hongchang’s condition and had no idea something had entered his body.

The voice of Tingtian Ao had once again resounded in Li Xuan’s ear, "I’ve got it figured out, don’t touch her now, and don’t give her any elixirs. Just lay her flat in the center of the altar. You can take and throw away that little cauldron, the dragon Qi here will help her balance the Yin and Yang. Oh yes, you can put her princess seal on her chest."

Li Xuan immediately uprooted the cauldron in the center of the altar. Fearful that it would affect the operation of the sacrificial array here, he didn’t discard it, but put it in his Sumi Ring.

"Is this all that needs to be done?"

"Apart from that, it’s best for us not to do anything." Tingtian Ao’s voice was solemn, "That’s what Vice Master Zhang said. He said that the situation inside the Princess’s body is definitely complicated and other things shouldn’t be done. We have to wait until he and several masters of Buddhism and Taoism in Nanjing City, as well as Doctor Jiang, have personally looked at the Princess’s condition before they can prescribe the right remedy."

Li Xuan understood, this meant that they needed a consultation.

However, Yu Hongchang’s breathing has already stabilized, and the abnormal body temperature has begun to subside.

Li Xuan was slightly relieved, "So what should the princess and I do next?"

He looked around at the surrounding Dragon Qi, his head aching. He could see the outside clearly, but the Dragon Qi was blocking him, making it impossible to go in or out.

"Vice Master Zhang said that the mechanism is on the altar. Do you see that rune in the south that looks like the word ’mountain’? Press it down and it should work."

Li Xuan immediately went over there. He slightly pressed on the ’mountain’ rune, and sure enough, the altar began to descend with a ’crack’ sound.

About a quarter of an hour later, the altar had sunk back into the tomb chamber, and the dome above gradually closed.

However, above the tomb chamber, more than three hundred Luminous Pearls aligned according to the direction of the stars, illuminating the tomb chamber as bright as day.

Li Xuan saw Tingtian Ao waiting below, "What about the tomb door?"

"The tomb door?" Tingtian Ao scratched his chin, "That depends on the second prince. How we came in is how we need to go out."

Li Xuan looked at the second prince, Yu Jianji, who was lying on one side. Seeing this, Yu Jianji’s face turned pale, and his facial muscles twitched, "You have to let me rest! I’ve lost almost all my blood. Besides, now that the crisis has been resolved, we don’t need to rush out. By the way, do you have any Blood Replenishing Elixirs? You need to give me time to replenish myself. My little Qiankun bag was taken by that woman."

At this moment, Yu Yanjun had been killed by his sister. Not even the two Divine Artifacts could be saved, let alone the little Qiankun bag?

The items inside could still be taken out in the future. However, it requires a master of runes to locate the void and take them out bit by bit, a process that is extremely cumbersome.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan chuckled and tossed over a bottle of elixir, then sat down cross-legged. He thought that since they couldn’t leave for the time being, he might as well take this time to consolidate his cultivation, or even take this opportunity to make a breakthrough to the fifth house level.

He had previously said that he could break through in three days, but that was not an exaggeration and even had some reservations.

The magical instrument Jiang Yunqi gave him helped him greatly by allowing Li Xuan to further harmonize ice and thunder.

And intense battles are the easiest way to stimulate human potential. During the previous battle with Zhenru under the ’Drought Demon’s’ pressure, Li Xuan unified his spiritual will and true essence to a high degree. Afterward, he reaped great benefits. The purity of Zhenyuan was greatly refined. He even realized a new ’ice-thunder blade’ - which was a combination of ice, thunder, and his own HaoYi, rather than just ice or thunder.

Now Yu Jianji looked back to the center of the altar, where his sister Changle was. His eyes were full of complexity, worry, envy, and a touch of other meanings.

"Li Xuan!"

"Hmm?" Li Xuan looked up in confusion at Yu Jianji, "What does Your Highness need?"

Yu Jianji stared at him seriously, "Thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would have probably been buried here today. My sister would have turned into a Drought Demon and Evil Spirit, and committed countless sins, never to be reborn. And the mountains and rivers of the Jin Dynasty would have been set to tremble. Allow me to repay you for these three great deeds later!"

"Your Highness is overestimating me!" Li Xuan fist-palmed from afar, "As Fumo Duyu, it is my duty."

"Even if you are Fumo Duyu, you didn’t need to go to this extent. I know the risk you took."

Yu Jianji shook his head slightly, "Li Xuan, you don’t need to be humble. Just resolving the Nanjing earthquake today is an immeasurable merit. And it’s disastrous not to reward merits. Although I can’t decide anything now, I know my father’s character. He will not let the hero go unrewarded. The Court will give you an explanation for this. I will also write to my father, trying my best to fight for a hereditary title for you."

Li Xuan couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Then I am honored, sir!"

He was looking forward to receiving rewards from the court. The last time at the Battle of Beigu Mountain, His Majesty did not disappoint him.

He didn’t care much about the hereditary title. What mattered was elixirs and silver coins, he was quite poor now.

"There’s one more thing——"

Yu Jianji looked at him with some seriousness, "I remember, Li Xuan, you haven’t settled on a marriage, have you? Have you ever considered marrying a princess?"

Li Xuan was still very happy just now, but when he heard this, he froze, "Why would Your Highness ask that?"

Does this second prince want him to become a prince consort?

"I heard it while I was down there."

Yu Jianji had a blank expression, and his eyes were complicated. He seemed a little jealous, "Changle said that the punch she threw out for me and the second punch she threw out for you were completely different in strength. The power she used then was even stronger than the last punch."

Li Xuan was left speechless. After a long while, he finally chuckled bitterly, "I have no intention of marrying the princess. Not long ago, I pledged lifelong love to Xue Yunrou, the daughter of the great Xue family in the south of Jiangnan."

Yu Jianji looked increasingly complex, only feeling his emotions going up and down, extremely uncomfortable.
