Chapter 411: Chapter 91 It’s Actually Pretty Amazing [Seeking Monthly Tickets!] _1

Yu Capital City, Regent Residence.

In a small backyard, there were a few inconspicuous plants in the flower garden, but the rich spirituality in the yard indicated that these plants were not simple.

An elderly man dressed in plain clothes, with black hair speckled with white at the temples, looked around fifty years old. His face was bright, his temperament gentle, and his eyes held a substantial divine light. Where his glance landed, the plants on the ground seemed to unfold immediately, as if a single look from him could imbue them with spirituality.

It was already chilly in Central State’s deep autumn, but this small yard was full of the vigor of spring.

In a city like Yu City, every inch of land is literally worth its weight in gold. Therefore, it was already extraordinary that an old man could possess such a small yard. His identity, though, was even more exceptional.

The old man’s name was Qi Yingxuan.

Few people knew this name, as it might have been over a hundred years since someone had called it out. But if one mentioned the titles of the Yu Dynasty’s Regent Leader, the Daoist Master Cosmic, the Grand Elder of Panyang Temple, or the Guardian of the Abyss of the Tamed Dragon... there was no one who did not recognize these synonymous titles.

In simpler terms, he was the guardian of the Yu Dynasty.

When the world was contesting for the dragon, the Xia family from the Three Great Ancient Families resolutely rose to power, and ultimately established the Yu Dynasty of Nine States. After the state was established, there were, in fact, some conflicts between the imperial court and the various Immortal Sects.

The Immortal Sects supported the Xia family’s claim to the dragon, naturally hoping for more power in the new dynasty. As religious organizations or sects, they didn’t need the territory, but they needed public support and resources. Helping the imperial court was more about enhancing their own influence than it was about exorcising demons for righteous causes.

But the imperial court naturally hoped that the Immortal Sects would obey their commands, exist as vassals of the dynasty.

The root of this was a conflict between imperial and divine power.

The Immortal Sects couldn’t radiate their influence to all parts of Nine States without the support of the imperial court; the imperial court could not govern its vast territory without the Immortal Sects. Both sides fought to a standstill before ultimately compromising.

They set up an institution called the "Regent Residence," responsible for absorbing cultivators to guard the Nine States. If there were evil spirits that the Regent Residence and the City Warden Residence could not handle, then the Immortal Sects would step in.

With the Regent Residence as a buffer between the two parties, they would serve the imperial edicts and liaise with the Immortal Sects to expel evil spirits from the mortal world.

In this way, the role of the Regent Leader became incredibly important.

Qi Yingxuan’s life as the current Regent Leader could be described as legendary.

His original name was Qi Yingwen; he studied literature from a young age and took the imperial examination at sixteen but failed three times. At twenty-eight, he changed his name to Qi Yingwu, abandoned literature in favor of martial arts, and practiced hard for seven years, only to get beaten up by a gang while helping someone in need on the street. At thirty-five, he changed his name to Qi Yingxuan and joined the Panyang Temple in Yu City to learn Daoist techniques.

A cultivator who joined at the age of thirty-five was quite rare and usually wouldn’t achieve much.

But Qi Yingxuan seemed to have found his destiny from that point on, rising against the odds, reaching the Seventh Realm in twenty years, and mastering the Cosmic Avenue and controlling Tianyuan in thirty years.

Reaching the Eighth Realm at sixty-five was remarkable considering his years of practice, so much so that it could be described as superhuman.

And now, he has been guarding the Yu Dynasty for a hundred and eighty years without any losses.

This legendary journey inspired countless middle-aged people to pursue their dreams, starting their cultivation by spending all their wealth at the age of thirty or forty, only to end up with no progress and losing it all...

On this day, it was just an ordinary sunny autumn day. Qi Yingxuan watered the spirit plants in the flower bed and then leisurely sat in a chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

He was not a lazy person, but as the Regent Leader, his leisure signified peace in the Yu Dynasty.

So Qi Yingxuan really enjoyed his leisure.

Then...

He saw a terrifying giant python that blotted out the sun in his vision.

The appearance of the Swallowing Python atop the Giant Whale Mansion a few hundred miles away made Yu Capital City the perfect viewing spot. The city’s citizens only needed to look up at the sky to see the giant creature writhing in the air, sticking its head out of the clouds.

They could even see the individual scales on the python’s body.

The Regent Leader’s brows furrowed.

The appearance of such a giant demon near the Imperial City was a big deal.

So he gently said, "Ride the wind, go and have a look."

In fact, it was impossible for the Regent Leader not to know the Immortal Law of Heaven’s Eye and Earth’s Ear, and if he wanted to investigate the situation there, it would only take a thought. When he said "have a look," he obviously meant to do more than just look.

"Yes."

A reply came from somewhere, and a gust of wind had already blown off to a spot hundreds of miles away.

...

A few hundred miles away, inside the Giant Whale Mansion, the scene was very chaotic.

Just a moment ago, it was still the ceremonial hall for Jiang Shenting’s inauguration, a picture of peace and harmony.

The sudden activation of the Qianyuan Immortal-binding Array and the arrival of Xu Hongqiu broke this tranquility, and the intervention of Huang Hanshan further delayed the chaos.

Just when everyone had just seen what had happened, the Red Door God and Ji Lingyu suddenly appeared and threw in a monkey wrench.

These two seemed to be in collusion with Xu Hongqiu, and didn’t take action until after her assassination attempt failed.

But the subsequent appearance of the Swallowing Python was a bit puzzling. This giant python seemed to be a spirit beast controlled by people of Mars, judging from the way its aura was focused.

But if Mars is allied with Xu Hongqiu, how could it control the Swallowing Python?

Could Xu Hongqiu have killed her own father along with outsiders?

She tried to kill Xu Baishan first then Jiang Shenting... But even if she killed ten fathers, her place in the hierarchy of the Whale Guild wouldn’t go to a Fourth Realm girl like her. She had no reason to set up her own father.

The heads of the tens of thousands of people watching the battle, at least eight thousand of whom were rugged rivers-and-lakes guys, were a bit overloaded at this point.

What happened next was even more beyond imagination.

The Swallowing Python opened its mouth, and a Red Golden Fire Dragon flew out!

What kind of divine skill is this?

There were three people on the fire dragon, a young man in fluttering brocade on the top of its head, handsome in appearance, robust in energy, and holding a sword in his hand, looking like no ordinary person.

And a tall man was riding on the dragon’s neck, tower-like, majestic and powerful... Wasn’t this Xu Baishan, the lost Guild Master of the Whale Guild?!

Those with sharp eyes could spot another young man at the end of the dragon’s tail, barely hanging onto the tail of the fire dragon to prevent himself from falling off. It seemed a bit too hot for him, so he kept yelping.

This strange combination was none other than Chu Liang and his two companions who had just rushed out of the mouth of the Swallowing Python. They had just experienced a severe shock when the Fire Dragon broke out of the Secret Realm. In the middle of the journey, there was a very strong spatial resistance. Chu Liang led the way, slashing through the void with his Dustless Sword, and finally fought his way out!

They rode out of the mouth of the Swallowing Python on the Fire Dragon, and their first sights were of the chaos within the Giant Whale Mansion.

Chu Liang’s first sight was Jiang Yuebai in the crowd, and he exclaimed, "Senior Sister Jiang?"

He had not expected to see Senior Sister Jiang as soon as he emerged.

Xu Baishan’s first sight was Xu Hongqiu in the crowd, and he bellowed, "Hong Qiu!"

He also had not expected to find himself at home as soon as he emerged.

Lin Bei’s first sight was his own trousers flying in the sky, and he cursed internally.

He also had not expected that his belt had been burned loose in the course of the flight, his trousers having failed to keep up with him!

Though losing a pair of trousers didn’t cost much, It was now flying in the sky, leaving his two legs cold. Fortunately, he still had a pair of shorts underneath, saving him from exposing himself in front of thousands of people.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shenting was trying to kill the bewitched Xu Hongqiu in the chaos, so that there would be no one to dispute her guilt in colluding with Mars.

But Xu Baishan’s attention was all on Xu Hongqiu, and he naturally saw Jiang Shenting’s intention. If he were at peak cultivation, he would have flown over and wiped out Jiang Shenting on the spot.

But now his cultivation was suppressed by eighty percent, making it difficult for him to get there in time. He could only pin his hopes on Chu Liang!

Fortunately, Chu Liang did not disappoint him.

He instantly commanded the Fire Dragon, which swooped down and enveloped Xu Hongqiu in its grasp!

Hisss——

Jiang Shenting’s fully charged spear penetrated the Fire Dragon’s scale armor, eliciting a roar of anger from the dragon, which opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of Divine Dragon Flame!

But this flame was immediately absorbed by a group of East Whale Guild Elders behind Jiang Shenting, with the Grand Elder of the Guild bellowing out, "Enough!"

Why were all these waves coming together?

Who was the Swallowing Python there for?

Why was it spitting fire?

How did the Guild Master come back?

What?

Even the wisest Elder of the Whale Guild seemed overwhelmed for a moment, unable to process the scenes transmitted to his eyes. He could only soar higher, shouting loudly, hoping that everyone would stop what they were doing.

Everyone needed to sort out what exactly had happened in the recent moments.

The spectators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were more at ease, hoping for an even more spectacular scene as long as it didn’t threaten them.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Chu Liang, Wei Tiandi, one of the core disciples from the Thunder Fortress, blurted out the name Lin Bei.

This was because Chu Liang had once disguised himself as Lin Bei to mislead Wei Tiandi... leading him down the wrong path, causing Wei Tiandi’s effort in chasing Huang Ling’er to be in vain. He later learned that Huang Ling’er had been seen in the opposite direction.

Wei Tiandi had thought about teaching this Lin Bei a lesson when they met again, but he had not expected to meet him today, and in such an imposing manner.

To be honest, he was a little reluctant to go up there.

All his obedient beasts put together probably couldn’t withstand this Fire Dragon’s flame.

Deng Yixiao, standing nearby, found this somewhat puzzling after hearing it.

He was present at the Shu Mountain Peak Conference that day and had seen Chu Liang summon the Purple Green Double Swords to kill Tao Wu in a heroic manner. Naturally, he could not forget.

Actually, he also knew Lin Bei because Lin Bei was working in the Foreign Affairs Hall at that time, and many disciples of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had had some contact with him, at least they were familiar with each other’s faces.

But his second senior brother had never been to Shu Mountain, so how did he get to know this ordinary disciple?

So he asked, "Senior brother, you know him?"

"Of course I do." Wei Tiandi nodded, "It was him who pointed me in the wrong direction that day. I was thinking of teaching him a lesson when we meet again, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful..."

What he referred to, of course, was Chu Liang’s impressive control of a top-level Seventh Realm Fire Dragon with his current level of cultivation. As beast control masters, this scene was extremely shocking for them.

But Deng Yixiao turned his gaze to the real Lin Bei.

Impressive?

Lin Bei had been clinging to the tail of the Fire Dragon just now, nearly falling off, with his bare legs and just dressed in black shorts, looked quite distressed. But as soon as he landed, he confidently puffed out his chest as if not at all worried about being embarrassed.

He seemed even a bit proud.

Hmm...

Deng Yixiao couldn’t help but nod.

The thickness of this person’s skin is indeed quite impressive.

While the Whale Guild wanted to stabilize the situation before discussing, the two from Mars had other thoughts. As soon as the Swallowing Python appeared, Ji Lingyu cursed it silently in his heart.

Since he had tamed the Swallowing Python, he had always instructed it to hide in the deep sea, not daring to reveal its tracks easily for fear of inciting investigation. But now this giant beast appeared just three hundred miles from Yu Capital City, and in mid-air, no less!

As if it was crying out for attention.

He made the decision straight away, he had to abandon this beast.

Especially the Fire Dragon Ba Xia, one of the major weapons inside. He felt great regret. He tried to rouse the imprint he had left deep in Ba Xia’s Dragon Soul, but received no response.

He wondered how the youngster at the fourth realm had wrested control from him. Was it based on the faint dragon breath on his body?

Impossible.

But now was not the time for thinking. Once the righteous path crowd calmed down, the first thing they would do was to join hands to take out the two of them. No matter who inside the Whale Guild colluded with them, they would be dealt with in the end.

Everyone was judging if the crowd were friends or foes, and only the two of them didn’t need to. Everyone within their sight was an enemy!

So they took advantage of the still chaotic situation, Ji Lingyu yelled at the Red Door God, "Let’s go!"
