At the beginning of the fifth year of Tongqiyuan, at the beginning of the new year, the Kingdom of Wei had no choice but to seal all the entrances and exits of the realm under the pressure of Northern Tang, White Tiger, and Dragon Emperor. Not long after, several cities were seized one after another, starting the war in the human world. Wei Wangjing was isolated and had no reinforcements. He sought help from Ju Lu Town of Qi, and Qi Town sent reinforcements. The two of them formed an alliance of Wei Qi, advancing and retreating together.
The current situation of King Wei's Territory was caused by the decree of the Dao Court five years ago, which wanted Young King Wei to take responsibility for the massacre of the Five Elements Court. The Dragon Emperor ordered Young King Wei to abdicate the throne and choose someone else from the royal family to take over the throne. Young King Wei naturally refused, and so the first war broke out between the two sides. By the beginning of the fifth year of Qi Yuan, the Dragon Emperor had roped in Northern Tang and White Tiger. These two territories were on the battlefront that both sides had to pass through. With the three territories surrounding them, King Wei's territory could not hold on any longer. They could only seal off the entire territory's land and water routes, shrinking the defensive circle continuously.
Fifth year, mid-September, autumn harvest. In the name of resisting the beast tide, the Holy Dynasty had dispatched a hundred thousand Dragon Stallion Soldiers and eight hundred heavy war chariots to the Eastern Heaven Territory. The Lianhai Manor, which controlled the number one bank in the world, had lost several dozen core members in the battle, including the Lord, one of the current Divine Domains, Lianhai Cangsheng.
The Sea Link Villa fell into an unprecedented crisis, and the various banks were forcefully occupied by the local powers.
In November, Dragon Elephant Mountain completely analyzed the plague. It was analyzed that it came from some kind of Meteorite Beast that carried the plague. Under the command of the Celestial Sect's Beast King, Hai, it infected the residents of the Wind Cave and then spread it. By November, a total of 290,000 people had died of the disease, and more than three million infected people were still lying in bed, quarantined in the medical houses built by the Longxiang Mountain Sect.
Jin Nong, the master of the Dragon Elephant Mountain, developed the "Wondrous Heart Pill" in mid-November, an elixir that could completely cure diseases. Under the cheers of tens of thousands of patients who had recovered, they returned to the Immortal World to continue resisting the invasion of the Devil Race.
In the twelfth month, the Holy Dynasty forcefully stationed troops at the old site of the Wind Cave with the excuse of preventing the beast tide. For the first time, the Dragon Emperor Mansion was in charge of all the affairs within the territory. The Sealink Villa's sphere of influence had shrunk significantly.
The Sacred Dynasty took back control of the Eastern Heaven Territory, and at the same time, the Northern Tang and the White Tiger Territories also announced their surrender. The Sacred Dynasty gathered the power of four states and began to threaten the remaining three states. Their ambition to unify the world was exposed.
In the same year, the Dragon Emperor conferred the Mi and Tibetan sects as state religions.
In the same year, the Southern Phoenix Region joined Wei Qi's alliance.
In the same year, the Asura World's Infernal Hell, which was served by the Asura Race, constantly invaded the Rakshasa Race's Bodhi Temple, which was served by the Rakshasa Race. This caused discontent among the various classes of the Rakshasa Nation, and the Crimson Moon Imperial Family had no choice but to declare war on the Asura Kingdom due to the pressure from the people.
At this point, the Three Realms were inevitably dragged into the vortex of war.
…
The warm sun in the winter melted everything in the world, making the green flagstones on the Golden Steps Street of Gold Sun City reflect the icy light, creating a unique scene before it completely melted into water. The signs on both sides of the street glowed with a golden light, and even the rubble of the houses became holy.
It was the market day when all living things came back to life. As soon as the city gate of Jinyang City opened, the farmers and traders swarmed into the city. Among them, there was a two-wheeled palanquin, which was driven by a single horse. There was a bell on each side of the palanquin, which made a tinkling sound as it moved.
The coachman was well-dressed and wore a brocade round hat. He looked like a middle-aged rich man. His expression was lazy, and he kept yawning. His gaze was erratic, and it seemed that he was very disrespectful and unafraid of bumping into someone.
The person in the carriage seemed to have the same worries, and a clear and melodious voice came from inside, "Grandpa Zhao, it's really inappropriate for you to drive like this. Have you forgotten that you bumped into someone from the government last time? It was a troublesome matter, and the son-in-law hates trouble the most. It's not like you don't know that. "
The coachman grinned and said, "My little Rongrong, your Grandpa Zhao is getting old. After driving for an entire night, it's inevitable that my head is dizzy, and I urgently need you to make some tonics. If you feel my difficulties, please don't refuse."
The voice inside became softer, as if someone was muttering. Then, the clear and melodious voice giggled, "Aunt.
I say, this is blackmail, and it's an unhealthy trend that can't be encouraged. However, I've recently developed a dish called Blue Phoenix Enters the Nine Heavens. It nourishes the liver and lowers internal heat, and it's the best for replenishing the spirit that's damaged from exertion. If Grandpa Zhao wants to eat it, I'll make it for you when I'm cooking for the son-in-law later. "
When the coachman heard this, he almost drooled. The person who spoke was a famous head chef. Even the gods would praise the dishes made by her. There was no reason for him to not agree. He hurriedly nodded, "Of course, of course."
The carriage stopped outside a restaurant. A grey-clothed waiter yawned and came out to welcome them, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay?"
This carriage belonged to the back compartment. The door to the back compartment opened, and a beautiful lady in her early twenties with picturesque eyebrows and fair skin walked out. She wore a light green silk gown, and on her white wrist was a green dragon bracelet. The soles of her shoes were white, and her hair was in a graceful bun. She had a pleasant expression, and her temperament was gentle and natural. She was a perfect representation of natural carving, and the charm of a lotus flower in clear water.
"Give us a quiet courtyard, and a private room upstairs. My son-in-law doesn't like to see strangers, so please open the door to let the carriage pass. In addition, I'd like to use your kitchen. "
The lady spoke quickly and clearly. After she finished speaking, she returned to the carriage.
The waiter hurriedly opened the door, allowing the carriage to go straight to the backyard. When they reached the yard, the people on the carriage all got off. One of them had a head full of purple hair, a black saber on his back, and a purple robe. He had a breathtakingly beautiful appearance. It was impossible to find a second man like him in the world. This man was Yan Shiyi.
The end of the year had arrived, and the fifth year of Qi Yuan was about to pass. Six years had passed, but Yan Shiyi still hadn't changed much. It was as if time had left no traces on his face.
The lady was the young cook Su Rongrong, who had been sent by Phoenix Hall to take care of Yan Shiyi's daily life. Six years had passed, and she had grown into a slender and elegant young lady.
The coachman was the Shadowless Divine Marquis, Zhao Ting. Ever since Yan Shiyi left Swallow Dock, Zhao Ting had been acting as his coachman, traveling all over the Three Realms. At first, it was just aimless. Later, imposters of Yan Li appeared everywhere, and they followed these news everywhere. On one hand, they didn't let the imposters have an easy time, and on the other hand, they hoped for a miracle.
No miracle happened. After searching for so many years, there was still no trace of Yan Li. The end of the world seemed to have been cut off by Jambu. Those who were exiled would never be able to return.
This time, when he came to Jinyang City, he had heard the news of Yan Li's appearance, and so he rushed over overnight.
Gathering information naturally had to be done in a crowded place. However, some specific information required a specific place. Cultivators of a higher level usually wouldn't go to such a messy place. The private rooms in restaurants were the best choice.
Yan Shiyi had his breakfast prepared by Su Rongrong, and then he closed his eyes and waited in the private room. At night, when there were no more whispers, he went back to his bedroom to rest. After a few days, he finally heard the news about Yan Li.
Under the cover of his Primordial Spirit, not a single word escaped his ears.
"I've found out that it's the richest man in this city, Master Jin Futai?"
"Good, Sect Master knows that this person bought 100,000 books from Golden Chamber Pavillion. The reason why Golden Chamber Pavillion was destroyed was that the Guangwei Scripture was rumored to be in their hands!"
"Very good, as long as we can find the Guangwei Scripture, we can find the Dragon God Drawing. There's an ultimate art in the Guangwei Scripture, and the Dragon God Drawing can grant immortality. By then, our West Wind Tower can be like Dusk Cloud Tower, and become one of the nine Confucian orthodoxy … Damn Dusk Cloud Tower, they're just a bunch of gigolos. In terms of techniques and strength, we can't compete with them. I don't know what the Dao Court sees in them!"
"By the way, Sect Master, I heard that Jin Futai recently found a son-in-law with a powerful background."
"Oh?"
"It's said that his name is Yan Li."
"What? You mean Yan Li? "
"I snuck in and got the information from the servants. It shouldn't be wrong. Sect Master, what is this Yan Li's background? Why are you so afraid of him? "
"You joined the sect late and have been busy working in the fields. It's only natural that you don't know how powerful this name is. However, not many people know his real name, but if you mention the nickname Yan Shifang, you won't be unfamiliar with it. "
"It's him! Then, Sect, Sect Master, how can we be his match? "
"Hmph, if it's really him, I'll naturally give up on the idea of stealing the Guangwei Scripture. However, six years ago, Yan Shifang was exiled to World's End by Sage Taixu. He's long dead. He's just an imposter, what's there to be afraid of? "
"Then, Sect Master, shall we take action tonight?"
"We must be fast, we can't alarm the Dragon Emperor Residence!"
Yan Shiyi magnified his Primordial Spirit, and their conversation was heard by Su Rongrong and Zhao Ting. When the conversation was over, he asked the two of them, "How is it?"
The two of them knew the meaning of Yan Shiyi's question. They looked at each other, and Su Rongrong sighed, "Young Master, if it's really Young Master Yan, how could he marry into the family of the richest man in the city? He's most likely a swindler in the pugilistic world." Zhao Ting said thoughtfully, "Recently, I've heard a lot about the Guangwei Scripture and the Dragon God Diagram. Is the secret to immortality really hidden in the Dragon God Diagram? "
Su Rongrong said, "The Dragon God Diagram is the number one immortal artefact, it's not strange even if it exists. However, all immortal artefacts recognize their masters. In other words, only those who are recognized by it might be able to obtain the divine power of immortality. Even if others find the Dragon God Diagram, what can they do? "
Zhao Ting agreed deeply, "For the past few years, who knows how many sects and families have been exterminated because of this matter. There are many rumors about the whereabouts of the Guangwei Scripture, but until now, no one has really taken it out."
The two of them had perfected the skill of changing the topic in the past few years.
Yan Shiyi frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "It's really not beautiful. Do you think I can't take a blow? Ah Li is not in the pugilistic world. I'm not very happy, but it's not to the extent that I can't live anymore. " As he said, he laughed lightly, "Besides, it's also very interesting to see different Ah Li."
Su Rongrong smiled, "Then let's go take a look tonight and see what kind of Young Master Yan this is."
After making up their minds, the three of them came to the most luxurious manor in Gold Sun City, the Gold Manor which consisted of twelve courtyards.
In the eyes of the three of them, the most luxurious Gold Manor in Gold Sun City was unbearably vulgar. This also exposed Old Master Jin's shortcoming — his low level. Saying that his level was low was because he was not a powerful cultivator, nor did he belong to a sect, nor did he have any children who worshiped in Confucian orthodoxy. Therefore, he could not use his connections to invite truly brilliant craftsmen to design the courtyard for him. In the eyes of true nobles, a luxury built with money was unbelievably vulgar.
The three of them saw Old Master Jin, his son-in-law, and his daughter in a guest hall.
Calculating the time, it was time for the son-in-law to bring his daughter home.
Old Master Jin was dressed in a golden robe and a feather hat, looking very fashionable. His skin was well maintained, and he had a mustache and a hookah pipe. Old Master Jin's daughter, Jin Zhu 'er, was also young and beautiful, with a plump figure. One look and one could tell that she was a good housekeeper.
The three of them first looked at the two of them, wanting to see how stupid this pair of father and daughter were. They could actually still be fooled after exposing so many impostors in the Dragon Emperor Manor. Finally, they looked at Yan Li, the impostor.
What they saw was incredible. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide. They were so shocked that they could swallow a duck's egg.
That leisurely laziness, that calm and casual demeanor, that faint smile in his eyes, and that face that seemed to have been carved by a top-notch craftsman — who else could it be but Yan Li?
