Eternal vanity
Chapter 63
Bai Chen's source energy had been entangled with the poison for a long time, but it was still suppressed in the end. Bai Chen saw the situation and did not hesitate to shatter half of Ling Fan's dantian. The source energy that had been accumulated in the dantian for a long time gushed out crazily!
Ling Fan, whose eyes were tightly shut, suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood. He frowned as he endured the pain. The pain of having his dantian shattered was not something that an ordinary person could endure.
Bai Chen immediately unleashed all the source energy in his body and calmly gathered the poison from Ling Fan's body. He used nearly half of his source energy to seal the violently struggling poison in his dantian so that it could no longer cause any waves.
After Bai Chen was done, the source energy in his body was almost exhausted. He immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated the Nine Arts of the Fallen Immortal to recover his source energy.
Three days passed. Han Xing and Ling Mu had been guarding outside without leaving for even a moment. When Bai Chen and Ling Fan walked out together, they saw that Ling Fan's face was ruddy. There was no trace of the deathly aura that he had in the past. His steps were steady, and the majestic aura of an empire's crown prince was restored!
Ling Mu's eyes lit up. He rushed forward, laughing and crying happily. "Brother Seven, Brother Seven …"
"Congratulations, Seventh Prince's poison has been completely sealed. His cultivation has stopped at the fourth stage of the Divine Master Realm," Bai Chen said with a smile.
Han Xing turned around and bowed to Bai Chen. "Thank you."
Bai Chen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for that.
Han Xing said, "Now that Ling Fan's poison has been sealed, it's time to go out and settle old scores."
Bai Chen rubbed his chin as he pondered, "That's right. There's a need to go out of the forest and investigate who the culprit is. That damned fellow should have the antidote. You guys have been living in seclusion in the Sunset Moon Forest for so long. It's time for you guys to go out and take a look at the Great Dawn Empire."
Han Xing said, "That's right. It seems like there's definitely something wrong with the imperial edict!"
Ling Fan was also silent, deep in thought.
Logically speaking, it was rumored that Su Chen, the Seventh Prince, was born with the aura of an Emperor, diligent and righteous. He had always been favored by the previous Emperor, who intended to pass the throne to him. But why was he living in seclusion here?
Bai Chen asked doubtfully, "May I ask which prince is currently in power?
Is it Crown Prince Ling Yi? "
Ling Fan shook his head and said, "No, Big Brother has no interest in the throne. He gave up the position of Crown Prince long ago and left to play. The current Emperor is Fifth Brother Ling Yu."
"Lingyu?"
Bai Chen felt even more incredulous. He teased, "With all due respect, I remember that the Fifth Prince is the son of a maidservant in the palace. He has always been arrogant and domineering, and is not popular with the people. I don't mean to offend you. Even if the late Emperor didn't know people's hearts, he wouldn't have chosen a maidservant's son as his successor."
"So, there must be a big problem. The Crown Prince gave up the throne and left. If Ling Yu wants to take the throne, the biggest threat to him is you. So, the matter of the poisonous insects can be explained. Of course, this is just my speculation. We must investigate it carefully."
Bai Chen looked at Ling Fan and said.
Ling Fan's eyes were like torches. He said solemnly, "In order to repay the kindness of Your Excellency Exalted Sword for saving our lives, we have decided to help you revive the Moon Palace and fight against the Nine Clans. Although our strength is weak, we can definitely help you."
Bai Chen was stunned. His enemy was the Nine Great Clans, whose foundation was incomparably strong. He didn't expect that they would have such awareness. But it was really just a small matter for him. This reward was too great.
"Your Excellency Bai Chen, Ling Fan can't not repay your kindness." Ling Fan's eyes were like torches as he bowed and said.
Seeing that Bai Chen was still a little hesitant, he continued, "How about this? As the Seventh Prince of the Suchen Empire, Ling Fan invites Your Excellency Exalted Sword to be my strategist and help me take back the throne and rule over Su Chen."
"Su Chen's reward is to help you rebuild the Moon Palace and fight against the Nine Clans. The Moon Palace will always have the support of Su Chen!"
Bai Chen was slightly surprised and said, "This... is really a generous reward..."
"Haha, then, I will definitely live up to the Seventh Prince's trust."
Bai Chen had really underestimated the Seventh Prince, who was hiding his true abilities. With just a few words, he had trapped Bai Chen and made him unable to refuse.
He was the one who had done the Seventh Prince a favor, but Ling Fan had forcefully twisted his identity, and he couldn't find any words to refute or refuse.
If he refused, then he would really be a fool.
The people of the Royal Family were really unfathomable...
Ling Fan had a smile on his face, looking like a harmless person.
Bai Chen was speechless. Why did he feel like he had boarded a pirate ship...
Ling Mu stuck out his tongue and whispered, "Brother Seven is tricking people again..."
"Cough cough cough —" Ling Fan turned his head away in embarrassment.
Bai Chen also needed power to find his own people. There might still be survivors of the Moon Palace waiting for him to find. Rebuilding the Moon Palace was not an easy task. Not only did it require a huge amount of manpower and resources, but it also had to withstand the enormous pressure of the Nine Clans. Ling Fan's courage and determination were not in vain as he was said to be a natural emperor.
Once the Moon Palace was successfully rebuilt, it would be like a hot knife through butter. No one would be able to defeat it!
Not to mention the Moon Palace that had come back from the dead with a strong spirit!
Ling Fan did not know that his ingenious recruitment and courage had completely changed Su Chen's fate!
Han Xing's serious expression also rippled a little. He thought for a while and said, "The closest city to here is Qing City. There's no time to lose. Let's go now."
"Okay."
— —
Suchen Empire, Imperial Capital.
"Ouch, it hurts. Ye Jin, can you stop being so lovey-dovey with your wife? Come and help me up. This is all your fault!"
Qiao Qiao grimaced and held his waist as he roared angrily at Ye Jin and Wen Ziqing, who were walking hand in hand.
After the collapse of the Arcana Land, Qiao Qiao and the others were also teleported to the Mortal World. Unfortunately, Qiao Qiao fell first. Before he could complain, Ye Jin and Wen Ziqing, who were holding Wen Ziqing tightly, almost broke his waist.
The two of them did not have any intention of apologizing. They continued to hang out together sweetly, shopping and watching the fireworks. Qiao Qiao could only feel so stifled that he wanted to cry but had no tears.
So what if you have a wife?
Qiao Qiao looked at his wallet that was gradually flattening. Even if he lived frugally these days, it was not enough for three people. Moreover, this Family Ye Young Master who was ignorant of worldly affairs had never brought much money with him. What should he do now …
He was not familiar with the Mortal World. It was really difficult.
Ye Jin was about to say something when a hand landed on his shoulder.
"Ziqing, don't mess around …!"
Ye Jin thought that it was Wen Ziqing behind him. When he turned around, he saw a smiling face right in front of him. Ye Jin was shocked and took a few steps back. His hand was instantly surrounded by a red light. He was about to draw his sword!
Qiao Qiao's Loathe Immortal was also three inches out of its sheath. A purple light flickered. He asked warily, "Who are you?"
This person suddenly appeared. They could not detect any aura at all!
That person's long hair was tied up. His facial features were regular, and he was handsome and refreshing. However, there was a sense of cunning between his eyebrows. His naturally upturned mouth was like a fox's.
“?
G?
G, please calm down. This is the Imperial City, right under the feet of The Son Of Suchen. How can you use force? However, just now I saw that your luck was not good. I'm afraid you're in big trouble. Do you need help? "
"The price for my help is not high. Ten taels of silver."
That man said with a smile.
Qiao Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not an enemy. He sheathed his Loathe Immortal and waved his hand in annoyance. "Go away, go away. Damn liar. You're the one who's in big trouble. Don't bother us."
Ye Rou threw him a few pieces of silver and signaled him to leave quickly.
The man seemed a little troubled and said helplessly, "Alright then. However, wasn't the girl in white who was kidnapped your companion?"
Ye Jin's expression froze. He immediately looked for Wen Ziqing. When he turned around, he saw a white figure on the shoulder of a palace guard.
"Ziqing!!!"
Ye Jin was instantly enraged. His body was surrounded by a red light. It was incomparably demonic. His eyes also turned blood red because of his anger!
Seeing this, Qiao Qiao quickly stopped Ye Jin's hand from summoning Ganjiang. He unsheathed his Loathe Immortal!
"Ye Jin!
You can't use Ganjiang! "Before he finished speaking, he flew up on his sword!
Wen Ziqing's Mo Xie was not here. Ye Jin did not have invincible battle strength. He might even go berserk and hurt the innocent!
Qiao Qiao's body flashed with purplish black lightning. His aura was like a rainbow. He waved his sword and knocked away the guard who was carrying Wen Ziqing. The wind and clouds were vast and mighty. In a flash, he saved Wen Ziqing.
"Ziqing … I'm sorry. It's all my fault …" Ye Jin hurriedly ran over and held the unconscious Wen Ziqing in his arms. He blamed himself.
The guard who fell to the side shouted in horror, "You … you … you dare to disobey the Emperor's order. You … you can wait for death!"
Qiao Qiao was enraged. He raised his Loathe Immortal and pointed his sword at the guard's throat. He said, "What Emperor's order? Could it be that the emperor of a country would kidnap a civilian girl in broad daylight?!"
Right at this moment, an arrogant voice said, "Whatever I take a fancy to is mine!"
A man wearing a bright yellow robe arrogantly walked over.
"How dare you disobey the Emperor's order. Quickly arrest him!
Ming Sha! "
The Son Of Suchen!
Qiao Qiao was stunned. Ye Jin looked at him angrily.
A person suddenly appeared beside the arrogant Emperor. His figure moved and blurred for a moment. In the next moment, that person had already appeared less than a foot in front of Qiao Qiao!
Before anyone could react, he struck out with his palm!
Qiao Qiao almost did not have time to resist. This terrifying palm broke through his source energy defense. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out!
He crashed into a house not far away!
Smoke and dust rose.
"Qiao Qiao!"
It was an overwhelming battle!
This person's movement technique was extremely fast!
That person turned and walked towards Ye Jin and Wen Ziqing. Qiao Qiao struggled to crawl out from the rubble. His face was covered in blood as he roared, "Ye Jin, quickly leave!
Don't care about me! "
The Heavenly Prince of Su Chen chuckled, without the slightest bit of the dignity and righteousness of an Emperor. It was as if he was just a scoundrel in the marketplace.
"Hehehe, Ming Sha, you better be careful. Don't hurt this tender little beauty — —"
Ye Jin gritted his teeth. He wished he could immediately summon Ganjiang to chop these bastards into pieces. But he could not!
Ganjiang's strength was too terrifying. It far exceeded his imagination. If he really went berserk, this country might cease to exist!
Boom — —
Just as Ming Sha was about to strike, a wall of fire rose up from the ground!
It surrounded Ye Jin and Wen Ziqing. A golden light flashed and the two of them, along with the wall of fire, disappeared.
The Son Of Suchen angrily rushed forward. He grabbed Ming Sha's collar and roared, "Who is it!!"
Ming Sha ignored such rude actions. He only shook his head coldly.
"Hmph!"
The Son Of Suchen angrily walked over to Qiao Qiao who was lying on the ground. He was heavily injured and could not move. He kicked Qiao Qiao's body. Qiao Qiao, who was in a pool of blood, could not help but cough out another mouthful of blood.
"Tsk!
It's all because of you, you scoundrel. You let my little beauty escape! "
The Son Of Suchen viciously kicked Qiao Qiao again and again.
"Men!
Drag this rebellious commoner into the dungeon! "
"Yes!"
The previously bustling street was now a mess. The commoners were trembling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"You!
What are you looking at!
Damn it! "The Son Of Suchen angrily killed a pleading commoner and swaggered away.
