Chapter 506: Chapter 405: The Heavenly Level That Was Misjudged_1

After Li Xuan fires three sword talismans, Yue Qianqian takes out several documents from the Qiankun bag. "Three days ago, Xiaowei, you asked me to investigate the flooding in the south of Jiang River. I examined the scrolls at the Liudao Division and found some anomalies. Just as Fulai said, the situation is quite serious."

Li Xuan took it in his hand and after scanning it, his mood became even heavier.

"Between October of last year and January of this year, there have been seven Dushui Bureau chiefs along the Yangtze River who either died accidentally or had their positions changed. The casualties among the officials of the Liudao Division along the Yangtze River have also increased by more than 20% compared to previous years, and most of them are related to water demons."

Yue Qianqian spoke with a sense of helplessness: "I wanted to show you this the day before yesterday, but Xiaowei, you were in seclusion, breaking down barriers, and not awake until today."

Without saying a word, Li Xuan took out a piece of paper and began writing on it.

"Are you writing a petition?" Luo Yan took a glance and realized that the paper Li Xuan used was unusual. It was bright yellow in color, with dragon-cloud patterns painted in gold on the surface.

This is the tribute paper specifically used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Jin Dynasty for imperial decrees and petitions. She had seen it a few times before.

"Is there enough time for this? You might as well go directly to the palace to meet him."

Usually, all the petitions in the Court have to go through the Tongzheng Division.

After Li Xuan finished writing the petition, he stamped it with his own seal as Earl Jingan, then handed it to Peng Fulai, "Old Peng, go to the Xiuyiwei Yamen as quickly as possible, ask Left Dudu to submit this petition for me, the faster the better."

Immediately after, he took out another piece of paper and began writing on it again.

This time it was a letter waiting to be handed over to Liudao Venerable Zhu Mingyue, who was far away in the tomb of the Tai Grand Emperor of Liao. There, communication talismans couldn’t be used, so it had to be passed through the Liudao Division.

The Liudao Division raised five Three-legged Red Ravens, all descendants of the Divine Bird, Three-legged Golden Crow.

They possess the magical ability to transform light for a short duration. They are as fast as lightning in flight, not only capable of traveling to and from the world half a day, but also able to move freely in dangerous places like the tomb of the Tai Grand Emperor of Liao, as long as they don’t venture into the core area.

When Zhu Mingyue returned to the capital before, he gave Li Xuan the right to use the Three-legged Red Raven to contact him at any time.

Shortly after Li Xuan finished writing the document and asked Zhang Yue to take it to the Liudao Division, Yu Hongchang, Xue Yunrou, and Helian Fulong each arrived at Earl Jingan’s mansion one after the other.

Yue Qianqian’s guess was correct, they hadn’t left the Capital City yet.

When they received Li Xuan’s sword talisman, Yu Hongchang was searching in the Chaotian Palace for various useful elixirs, and Xue Yunrou had gone to the underground black market in the glaze factory to buy an external pill of the tenth house level.

The effect of, Zhengyi Talisman, and external pill of half-heavenly level were similar, they don’t interfere with each other.

An external pill of the tenth house level, not only can help her gain more mana, but also better wield the magic power of ’Zhengyi Fumo sword’.

Xue Yunrou had the premonition that there might be a dangerous and fierce battle ahead so she was making full preparations.

Helian Fulong was the last to arrive. He walked in and directly said, "Qianzhi, feel free to share your thoughts."

"Time is of the essence, let’s leave first and then talk on the way," Li Xuan looked at Xue Yunrou: "Yunrou."

Immediately Xue Yunrou released her ’Nine Heavens Ten Earths Pimo Divine Shuttle’.

Jiang Hanyun and Yue Qianqian, upon seeing this, boarded the flying shuttle without hesitation. Li Xuan even sent his own Jade Qilin up.

However, Helian Fulong’s face looked distressed. He and Yu Hongchang glanced at each other.

Yu Hongchang felt awkward, not only because she had not spoken to Xue Yunrou for more than ten days after New Year’s Eve but because she didn’t want to use Xue Yunrou’s magical instruments.

Helian Fulong bitterly smiled: "The three of us aren’t headed to the same destination. The Young Heavenly Master first heads to Longhu Mountain, taking the nine hundred disciples of the Zhengyi Sect to Yujiang City (Wuhan) to help Earl Chengyi; the Princess Changle and myself need to lead five regiments of the Xiuyiwei to Yicheng, to help Ao Shuying intercept Xiangyue and Bashe Changze."

Xiuyiwei regiments were the cream of the crop in the Xiuyiwei units, each consisting of 300 people, all of them being strong characters with a fourth house level and above. Together, their combined strength could match that of any force in the Shenlei Mansion.

But this was exactly the part of the plan that Li Xuan found suspicious. Not only would carrying so many people delay the journey, but it would also give their enemies a chance to exploit their divided fronts.

The Court made this arrangement out of caution, wanting to preserve all regions and underestimated the current situation.

However, Li Xuan could instinctively smell a conspiracy from this.

"I’ve just sent a letter to the Emperor and Liudao Venerable, asking them for their permission for me to take charge in handling the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River,"

Li Xuan looked at Helian Fulong seriously. "More than likely our Venerable Lord will grant me full powers and with the Emperor, I am quite confident. Mr. Fulong, feel free to come with me south, hear me out.

"As for your soldiers of the Xiuyiwei, they can come later. If the Emperor does not grant my request, we can separate near the Fengyang of the central capital."

Zhu Mingyue had moved him to Capital City to establish the Shenyi Department, with the aim of creating a department that could coordinate with the surrounding provinces and various forces in case of emergencies. Now there’s no reason to refuse him.

As for the Emperor, Li Xuan was also very confident.

After contemplating for a moment, Helian Fulong nodded: "I agree with your plan!"

He knows the emperor’s trust in Li Xuan and has personally seen Li Xuan’s ability to save the city of Nanjing from a crisis, so he didn’t hesitate any further. He teleported directly onto the flying shuttle.

Then Li Xuan turned his gaze to Yu Hongchang: "Board it!"

In just two words, it conveyed an air of irresistible authority.

Yu Hongchang puffed up her cheeks, but still obediently entered Xue Yunrou’s flying shuttle.

At this moment, the figure of Jiang Yunqi also appeared in the hall. With a casual look at the shuttle, he turned into a ray of light and entered.

With everyone gathered, Xue Yunrou activated the ’Nine Heavens Ten Earths Pimo Divine Shuttle’, and it shot into the clouds in an instant.

Inside the shuttle, Helian Fulong was stroking his beard, his brows furrowed slightly: "Qianzhi, your analysis is very insightful. Our current approach might fall right into the enemy’s plot. Actually, His Majesty and Shaobao Yu have also speculated about this, so we have prepared additionally. "

For instance, this time I have brought not only the guards from both capitals, but also a treasure that is enough to safeguard the fate of the nation. Just like the case with Princess Changle, she has brought a celestial weapon this time, which can greatly increase her combat effectiveness. "

Also, the Young Heavenly Master will go back to Longhu Mountain this time and take over the ’Yangping Capital-controlling Seal’ from Master Zhang, thereby gathering the powers of the three treasures of Zhengyi. Besides, the court has also prepared to send people to construct arrays at Yueyang Baling and Jiangcheng, in preparation to face the flood."

Li Xuan, with his fiery gaze, questioned: "But what if even with these treasures, you still cannot hold the fort?"

Helian Fulong just laughed bitterly: "His Majesty’s intention is for us to do our best. If we can defend, then we defend. If we really can’t hold on, then we must protect the people as much as we can while ensuring our own safety."

At this point, he glanced sideways at Jiang Yunqi sitting next to him, thinking that since Li Xuan managed to request his assistance, the situation might not deteriorate much further.

"But I want to choose a different way." Li Xuan’s eyes were burning: "Attack instead of defense, taking care of all the water disasters before they happen!"

Helian Fulong was initially stunned, and then shook his head dismissively: "Then, Qianzhi, how can you assure that your actions will not fall into the enemy’s calculation? Your idea is good, but it is also extremely risky."

"Wu Zhiqi and Xiangyue’s power will only increase with the rising of the Yangtze River water level. Also, Bashe Changze will soon head south. We will only have the power to resist these three big demons with the aid of arrays constructed in Yueyang and Jiangcheng. "

"Of course, I can’t be sure, but there is one thing they absolutely cannot anticipate."

At this point, Li Xuan took a book out from his sleeve and tossed it to Luo Yan: "They have overlooked our heavenly-level combat power."

Luo Yan held the book in her hand, raising her willow eyebrows: "Zhengfan Yinyang Tianjidihe Array?"

This was the combined attack they used months ago when they defeated the Winged Devil together.

Luo Yan remembered that they were very unfamiliar with it at that time, so they didn’t use it afterwards. They killed the Winged Devil by understanding each other’s thoughts.

"Even if we don’t have the wings of a colorful phoenix, our hearts communicate perfectly!" A look of expectation appeared on Li Xuan’s face: "I really look forward to seeing to what extent we can perform this combined attack now, several months later."

After hearing this, Helian Fulong was stunned for a moment, then his spirits lifted.

Mr. and Mrs. Yue Huaiyuan, with their excellent magical instruments and a set of combined attacks, can match the heavenly-level combat power.

Now, Li Xuan and Luo Yan, not only are their personal strengths no less than the aforementioned couple, but they also have better synergy.

That is to say, they will have two more heavenly-level fighters when they go south this time!

However, after Li Xuan finished speaking, the expressions of Yu Hongchang and Xue Yunrou inside the shuttle became a bit strange. Even the open-minded Jiang Hanyun was slightly agitated.

But Li Xuan pretended not to know, he knew his women would not be completely oblivious to the grand scheme of things.

Li Xuan’s eyes were full of confidence at the moment: "So they absolutely won’t expect the combat strategy we are going to adopt."

Just as Xue Yunrou’s ’ Nine Heavens Ten Earths Pidi Divine Shuttle ’ flew a hundred miles outside the capital city, in the imperial library of the Forbidden City, the Jingtai Emperor was looking at a memorial in his hand with a hesitant expression.

He was having a hard time making a decision, so he asked Zuo Daoxing: "Daoxing, what do you think about the request of Earl Jingan?"

"Your Majesty, you are asking a difficult question." Zuo Daoxing immediately laughed bitterly. After contemplating for a moment, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the situation in Jiangnan is unlikely to get worse. Earl Jingan had previously uncovered the rebellion case of the remnants of Jianling and turned the tides in Jiangnan. There’s no need to say more about his abilities.

He is the second son of Earl Chengyi and has good relations with several of the heavenly-level fighters who are participating in this war. If someone needs to be appointed to take overall control of the flood situation in Jiangnan, then Earl Jingan would be the most suitable candidate."

Upon hearing this, the Jingtai Emperor fell into deep thought.

At this time, Qian Long, the chief butler of the Sili Bureau, also moved slightly: "Your Majesty, this slave does not know whether Earl Jingan will be able to resolve the flood or not this time, but at the very least he is dedicated to the country and is loyal to you. In addition, he will certainly not let Earl Chengyi fall into danger. Your Majesty, you can perhaps hold some expectations."

The Jingtai Emperor sighed lightly, put his royal seal on the memorial, and gave it the final approval.

He asked Zuo Daoxing at the same time: "You must send a few talismans quickly, order Li Chengji, Ao Shuying, Helian Fulong, and the others to follow his instructions!"
