"Has the fight for the throne reached such an intense stage?"
"The Fourth Prince is even using his own sister as a bargaining chip in order to get the throne …"
"Could this be … my love trial?!"
Chung Shen-soo laughed and shook his head. "I only want to become an immortal. I have no intention of having a partner."
The Fourth Prince's expression suddenly became gloomy. "Sigh … if Qingyuan knew about this, he would be very sad. Perfected Cultivator, your heart is firm. I admire you … then … why don't you take a female disciple?"
"You …"
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand. "There's no need for that, no need for that."
"I'm not doing this for myself. Qingyuan does have feelings for Perfected Cultivator. Other than that … the Battle of the Dragon is extremely dangerous. I'm just pitying my sister and hoping that she can have someone to rely on …"
The Fourth Prince bowed sincerely.
Even Chung Shen-soo did not feel that the Fourth Prince was lying. Instead, he felt a sense of 'sincerity'!
"How sad and lamentable …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed. He did not try to persuade the Fourth Prince to give up.
He was dreaming if he wanted to retreat after coming this far.
Even if the Fourth Prince wanted to retreat, his subordinates, close officials, and relatives would not allow him to do so.
Otherwise, it would be a trap for all of them.
If he was born heartless, he might be able to do so, but the Fourth Prince was clearly not that kind of person.
At this point, there was no turning back. However, it was his instinct to buy insurance for his family.
In the end, no matter how the Fourth Prince begged, Chung Shen-soo did not relent. He only asked Su Tang to send the Fourth Prince out of the valley and set a time to go to the Imperial City.
…
Seven days later.
The Imperial City, Chang Luo.
Even though there had been a sacrificial battle, Chang Luo was protected by a formation, so there were not many casualties.
Even if there were casualties, as the capital of the world, it would continue to attract people to settle down.
Although the current Chang Luo wasn't as prosperous as it used to be, it could still be considered a peaceful and prosperous land.
"Chang Luo, it's not easy …"
In one of the residences, Xu Shaoling slowly stopped and suddenly sighed.
He had pursued the Dao when he was young and came from a wealthy family. He was originally a local tycoon in a county. Later, he joined the Mysterious Heaven Bureau and obtained an immortal fate, buying a Dao Initiation Pill.
Xu Shaoling's father used the power of the elixir to finally cultivate his magic power and became a Astral Fiend Realm cultivator.
If things had gone on like this, the Xu Clan would have gradually changed. If they could produce cultivators from generation to generation, they would have become a cultivator clan.
Alas … war suddenly broke out and Luo Prefecture was in ruins.
In order to avoid the chaos of war, the entire Xu family moved to Jade Province.
He did not know how much hardship he had suffered along the way. His family property was scattered everywhere. If he had not obtained some opportunities and successfully entered the Dao, learned a few spells, and worked together with his father to protect his family, he would probably have been killed by the army and evil cultivators!
Even so, several of Xu Shaoling's uncles died in the war, and no one even collected their bodies.
After struggling to reach Chang Luo, he realized that he had lost most of his family property. He took out all his savings to buy a small courtyard and did not have much left.
Chang Luo's rules were strict, and two Astral Fiend Realm cultivators were really nothing. The Xu father and son did not dare to break the rules, and their magic power was extremely poor. They could only do some itinerant cultivator's work every day to barely make up for the family's expenses.
Xu Shaoling's father had already stopped cultivating and handed all his resources to Xu Shaoling.
"Sigh … this Longevity Immortal Dao … this Longevity Immortal Dao …"
Xu Shaoling could not help but feel emotional as he thought about the path of his two generations.
He knew that his talent was limited. Even if he was lucky enough to enter the Dao, it would be good if he could break through to the Yang Fiend Realm in this lifetime.
As for achieving Divine Powers, it was basically impossible without heaven-defying opportunities.
At this moment, he could not help but feel emotional.
"Husband … Hu 'er has yet to return from playing. It's chaos now, and I heard that a group of bandits came to Chang Luo. They are roaming around nearby. Don't get captured …"
The door opened with a creak. Xu Shaoling's wife walked out and said worriedly.
"Hu 'er loves to play with his friends on the street. Maybe he forgot the time today. I'll go take a look …"
Xu Shaoling nodded and walked out of the room to the street.
At this moment, his ears twitched as he heard an ear-piercing shriek.
Xu Shaoling looked up and saw a beam of light flying across the sky. He could not help but gape. "Chang Luo has a space-sealing array. Anyone who can fly must be a Primal Core cultivator … look at this beam of light, perhaps it's even more."
With just a glance, he knew that the other party was someone that he would never be able to reach in this lifetime. He could only look on enviously.
"Eh?"
The next moment, Xu Shaoling saw the beam of light turn and actually land in his direction. He could not help but be shocked.
The beam of light landed right in front of him and transformed into a handsome young man in a snow-white robe. He stretched lazily and glanced at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's heart.
The immense pressure made Xu Shaoling kneel. "Xu Shaoling greets the Immortal …"
In his heart, he was still wondering why he felt that this Immortal looked so familiar.
"Shaoling, you have already entered the Dao. Don't be so ignorant. I am not an immortal …" Chung Shen-soo replied with a smile.
"Eh?"
Xu Shaoling suddenly looked up at Chung Shen-soo's face. His expression became one of confusion and fear. He stammered, "Su … Master Su?"
This was the great opportunity that his father had entered the Dao. How could Xu Shaoling forget it?
However, this Young Master Su seemed to be even more dignified and ethereal than before. He did not dare to recognize him.
"Hm, why are you here in Chang Luo?"
Chung Shen-soo asked casually.
He had also seen a familiar face and had come down to ask.
He had never thought that a Primordial Soul cultivator in the sky above Chang Luo would cause a storm.
Thud thud!
Thud thud!
On the long street, several horses galloped fiercely. The riders were dressed in official uniforms. They were from the capital's patrol department. They were chasing in the direction of the light.
Although their scalps were numb and their hearts were bitter, the appearance of a high-level cultivator in Chang Luo was not a small matter. As the local patrol department, they had to take action.
They quickly whipped their horses and galloped through the streets like the wind. The pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided them and the vendors hurriedly left their stalls.
"Ah!"
In the next moment, they were about to reach a crossroad. There were a few well-behaved children playing there, completely unaware of the impending danger.
"Not good! Hu 'er! "
Seeing this, Xu Shaoling's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He instinctively wanted to cast a spell.
However, Chang Luo's restrictions were strict. He was just a Malevolent Star Domain cultivator. This bit of magic power was useless.
Seeing that the children were about to die under the hooves, Chung Shen-soo slightly waved his hand.
A streak of white light flew out and pulled the children over.
"Hu 'er …"
Xu Shaoling hurriedly hugged his frightened son and comforted him gently.
"You galloped on the long street without any regard for human life. How should you be punished?"
Before the rider could react, he heard Chung Shen-soo frown and say.
"You …"
He looked at Chung Shen-soo and suddenly, his face twitched. He got off his horse and knelt on the ground. "Greetings, Perfected Lord Dong Hua. I deserve to die for offending you. I'll go to the disciplinary department to receive my punishment when I return …"
"Oh? You recognize me? "
Chung Shen-soo asked casually.
"Perfected Lord, all Perfected Lords have records in the various departments. Attached is a real image."
The rider kowtowed again. His entire body was trembling, afraid that the other party would turn him into ashes with a raise of his hand and bring disaster to his family.
"Perfected Lord?!"
Xu Shaoling looked at Chung Shen-soo from the side. He felt as though hundreds of years had passed.
Or was he hallucinating because of Qi Deviation?
