Watching as his clone started to derive this world's martial arts, Fang Xingjian continued to ponder, 'It's not just the Demon Sect. Now that I've become the Great Jin Dynasty's Emperor, although I have a righteous title, the number of enemies I have is unprecedented.'
Now that the dynasty was in its final years, there were all sorts of rebels, aristocratic clans, and feudal vassals. They were all eyeing him, the Emperor.
Moreover, Fang Xingjian had read up on the Azure Dragon Secret Palace's information over the past few days and had gained a better understanding of this world's politics.
Due to the existence of martial arts and the existence of martial arts experts who could go up against armies, the experts and sects in this world had extremely high statuses.
And the Tiangang Realm experts who stood at the pinnacle of the pugilistic world had the effect of changing the situation with a single sentence.
For example, the current Great Jin Dynasty's decline was due to the death of the royal family's Tiangang Old Ancestor.
And now, the rebels in the 12 regions all had the shadows of the pugilistic world's large sects behind them. The strongest feudal vassals even had countless connections with the world's seven strongest sects, the Three Mountains Four Peaks.
'The Demon Sect … and the Three Mountains Four Peaks …'
Fang Xingjian thought about the lack of manpower in the Imperial Capital. He reached out his hand and took out the sealing paper he had kept in his body.
He spread out the black paper, revealing an infuriated Prince. Prince's cheeks were puffed up like two steamed buns as he glared at Fang Xingjian. His eyes seemed to be bloodshot.
"Fang Xingjian, you can't have forgotten that I'm in here, right?
"Do you know how terrible it is to be alone here?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?
"There's no food, no books, no lights, and not even a servant who can talk to me. How do you want me to pass my days in here?"
Fang Xingjian looked at Prince's flustered and exasperated expression and smiled, "Then do you want to come out?"
…
Late at night, moonlight scattered down on the ground like silver frost.
It was already time for the curfew, and there were no longer many people on the streets of the Divine Capital. Only the patrolling city guards would walk by occasionally. As almost all of them were accomplished martial artists, they did not even need torches. They only needed to sweep their gazes to see every movement in the darkness.
Right now, in a courtyard in the north of the Divine Capital, a young lady with a graceful figure dressed in a black muslin dress was like a fairy in the night. Her figure floated to and fro in the air, entering a study like a stream of green smoke.
As soon as he entered the study, he saw an official looking at a document in his hands with a deep frown.
"Who?"
When the minister saw the figure appear in front of him, he was about to call for help. However, when he saw the girl's face, he immediately lowered his voice and knelt on the ground. "Saintess, why are you here?"
The young lady's countenance was pale as if she had not seen the sun all year round. However, her pupils were blood-red, as if they were embedded with rubies, revealing an endless sense of mystery.
Hearing the minister's question, the young lady's cold voice rang out, "The operation this time around has failed, and the Sacred Sect's many years of planning has gone down the drain. The Elders in the sect are infuriated, so it's naturally impossible for them to not investigate this. What on earth is going on?"
The minister sighed and said, "The Fang Clan's strength seems to be stronger than we imagined. There's probably a Tiangang Realm expert hidden in the royal family."
"Tiangang Realm?" The Saintess' brows twitched. "What's going on? Could it be that Fang Youwei isn't dead? "
"That's impossible. We saw Fang Youwei pass away from serious injuries with our own eyes. It's definitely not fake. The only possibility is that there's a new expert in the Fang Clan who has advanced to the Tiangang Realm."
As for the rumor that the current Emperor, Fang Xuan, had attained the Tiangang Realm, the two of them did not even mention it. Clearly, they knew that it was nonsense.
"Tiangang Realm?" The Saintess let out a cold laugh. "A newly advanced Tiangang Realm expert won't be able to change the overall situation. You guys continue to lay low. There will naturally be Tiangang Realm experts to deal with the Tiangang Realm experts. "
As she spoke, the Saintess' figure turned into bubbles and dissipated into the air, causing the minister to gasp in shock.
'This is … the Reverie Movement Technique?'
…
Outside the Divine Capital, the Demon Sect's female Saintess slowly opened her eyes in a forest on a hill. A hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes.
The minister in the north of the city was already the 12th minister she had contacted over the past few days. This allowed her to understand the current situation in the Divine Capital a lot.
'A Tiangang Realm expert?
'And there's also Emperor Fang Xuan, who seems to have suddenly changed into a different person.'
A hint of fluctuation flashed in the Saintess' eyes as she thought, 'The information is sufficient, but if I were to return just like this, how would I be able to show off my abilities?'
The Demon Sect was located in an uncivilized land with scarce resources. The competition there was a hundred times more intense than in Middle-earth.
Although Fu Daoxian was the Demon Sect's Illusory Emotions Path's female Saintess, it was not as if she did not have any competitors.
She thought to herself, 'There's a Tiangang Realm expert guarding the palace, so it's true that I can't enter casually. However, if I use the Reverie Movement Technique to control essential Qi, I can consider getting close to that little Emperor.
'That little Emperor is only 16 or 17 years old. How can he go up against my Illusory Emotions Path's Heavenly Emotions Technique?
'If I can control the little Emperor, it'll be a great merit. Moreover, my actual body is outside the Divine Capital, so there's no need for me to take the risk.
'It's worth a try.'
The little Emperor had originally been just a puppet, and it would be the same no matter who it was.
However, with the news that the royal family might have a Tiangang Realm expert, the little Emperor's importance in Fu Daoxian's eyes suddenly rose.
Upon thinking of this, Saint Fu Daoxian sat down cross-legged with her eyes closed. At the next moment, a stream of blurry figure formed from essential Qi slowly floated out from her back. With a slight movement, it floated out in the direction of the palace along with a gust of night wind.
In order to place this bet, Fu Daoxian had put in a lot of effort. As a Disha Realm expert who had opened up 40 acupuncture points, this essential Qi clone that was activated through the Reverie Movement Technique had 50% of her prowess.
Arriving in a small courtyard in the palace, Fu Daoxian quickly chose a maid to possess. Her essential Qi flowed into the maid's body and was extremely compatible. In the blink of an eye, it filled up the other party's meridians and controlled her every move.
This maid had clearly been carefully selected by Fu Daoxian. Not only was her skin fair, but she also had a tall and slender figure. Her face was also like a peach blossom, and she was extremely beautiful.
Right now, her body contained her essential Qi, and her disposition suddenly became like an orchid in a deserted valley, filled with feminine charm.
She smiled. For the next few days, she acted like an ordinary maid, and there was no sign of any abnormality. However, she was secretly trying to find out information regarding Fang Xuan in the palace.
With her essential Qi from the Illusory Emotions Path's martial arts and her many years of experience competing in the Demon Sect, everything went smoothly. How could ordinary palace maids and eunuchs be a match for her? Unknowingly, she managed to dig out all sorts of information.
