Su Xin's task in Shengjing City had been completed. Lin Zongyue had yet to return, and it seemed like he wouldn't be back for a while. Therefore, Su Xin took his Nine-colored Fairy Dew and went into seclusion again.
In fact, if the conditions allowed, Su Xin would like to go into seclusion in the Hades. After all, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Hades was much richer than in Shengjing City.
It was a pity that Su Xin had just returned to Shengjing City. It was not appropriate for him to go out now.
After all, the timing was very sensitive. Ji Haodian was busy with his grand plan to live forever. This emperor was already a little crazy. At this time, Su Xin's absence from Shengjing City for a long time would arouse his suspicions.
Moreover, everyone in the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom, including the people in the Jianghu, was watching Ji Haodian closely. They didn't know if he could become the first emperor to live forever in 10,000 years.
This time, Su Xin spent another month in seclusion. After swallowing the Nine-colored Fairy Dew, almost all the impurities in Su Xin's body had been completely expelled. Now, Su Xin's body had basically reached the most compatible level with heaven and earth. Moreover, with the Zhenwu Dharma Laksana fragment, Su Xin's understanding of the Yang Spirit Realm was also close to completion.
Therefore, Su Xin was already half a step in the Yang Spirit Realm. Su Xin only needed an opportunity to reach the top and become a Yang Spirit Realm Martial Arts Great Master.
However, this opportunity was not something that Su Xin could get from his seclusion. When he felt that it was about time, Su Xin directly came out of seclusion.
After coming out of seclusion, Su Xin called Huang Bingcheng to ask him about the recent situation in Shengjing City.
"Old Huang, is there any movement in Shengjing City recently? Is General Lin back? "Su Xin asked.
Huang Bingcheng said, "It is said that General Lin has successfully obtained the Vitality Elixir from Fang Xian Island and is on his way back. However, it will take some time before he can return to Shengjing City.
As for now in Shengjing City, there are some movements, but Lord Tie Zhan has gone into closed-door training. Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian did not care about it, so we did not care about it either. "
Su Xin frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Huang Bingcheng paused, then said, "It's those princes. Boss, you've only been in seclusion for a few days when His Majesty ordered all the princes to enter the capital. Right now, most of the power in Shengjing City is brought by those princes."
Su Xin knocked on the table with his index finger and said, "These princes and their subordinates are stirring up trouble?"
Huang Bingcheng shook his head and said, "No. Back then, the Kunlun Mystery Realm incident resulted in the crippling of several powerful princes. As long as one isn't an idiot, they would be able to remember this lesson. Therefore, although there are many princes entering the capital this time, no one dares to cause trouble.
However, even if they don't cause trouble, the power that these princes have brought is a little too strong. It's even stronger than the power of King Tai, Ji Yancheng and the others in the past. There are often some conflicts, but they have restrained themselves.
Most importantly, they seem to have some background in the martial arts circle. Although it's not obvious, the secret agents of the Six Fan School were able to find out.
Therefore, there are some undercurrents in Shengjing City now. Without your instructions, I wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Therefore, during this period of time, I directly instructed Qi Long to restrain the constables of the Six Fan School in Shengjing City, so that they wouldn't act recklessly. "
Su Xin nodded and said, "You did the right thing. The waters in Shengjing City are a little muddy now. Let's take one step at a time. In short, don't act recklessly."
Through Huang Bingcheng's series of descriptions, Su Xin had more or less figured out what had happened. Actually, to put it bluntly, His Majesty the Human Emperor was stirring up trouble.
As soon as the news that Lin Zongyue had gotten the Life Elixir, Ji Haodian was probably tempted. His grand plan of immortality was almost halfway done.
Therefore, at this time, he began to be a little worried about his sons making trouble outside while he was completing his plan. Therefore, Ji Haodian simply took advantage of this time to bring all of them to Shengjing City.
And these princes were very strong. This was not surprising to Su Xin.
King Tai, Ji Yancheng, who was far away in Shengjing City, and the other princes who were most likely to win the position of crown prince, had been deposed. Then, the only ones who were qualified to take the position were the other princes in the Zhou Kingdom.
In the past, there were not many independent cultivators who had the courage to go to Shengjing City to seek refuge with the princes and participate in the affairs of the royal family. After all, Shengjing City was too dangerous. Under the emperor's control, even warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm could not guarantee their own safety.
However, now that these princes were scattered all over Jianghu, they were also qualified to fight for the position of crown prince. Therefore, there were many independent cultivators in Jianghu who came to seek refuge with them. It was not surprising that they were stronger than King Tai, Ji Yancheng. Moreover, they had the backing of martial arts sects.
Last time, Shaolin Temple, Qingcheng sword school, and other forces secretly participated in the battle for the position of crown prince but failed. If they were to do it again, they would definitely not participate.
This time, however, it was a little special. Ji Haodian wanted to live forever. This kind of thing would affect the entire martial arts world.
Therefore, it was inevitable that the major forces in Jianghu had planted spies among them and even secretly provided some help. However, they did not do it as openly and blatantly as Ji Yancheng and the others in the past. They wanted to adapt to the situation and fight for the most favorable situation for their sects.
Now that the situation in Shengjing City was so chaotic, no one came out to deal with it. In fact, it was very simple: they could not or did not want to deal with it.
The military and Six Fan School were the kind of people who did not want to deal with it.
It was not certain whether a long-lived emperor was a good thing for Six Fan School and the military, but they were sure that as long as Ji Haodian successfully cultivated the cultivation method on the white jade slate and reached the real realm of longevity, it would definitely be a big deal for the people in Jianghu, as well as for Six Fan School and the military.
Therefore, Tie Zhan did not know how to deal with this matter this time. He simply went into seclusion. Anyway, he had already reached the Half Step Yang Spirit Realm, and he had even taken a few more steps than Su Xin. Breaking through to the Yang Spirit Realm was just around the corner, so Tie Zhan did not hesitate. He was ready to directly advance to the Yang Spirit Realm when he came out of seclusion this time, and he also had an excuse to go into seclusion.
Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian obviously also understood that it was not easy to deal with this matter, so they pretended to be confused and did not do anything.
The military and Six Fan School were so slack, but Ji Haodian did not say anything. He simply let this kind of behavior go, but in fact, he did not dare to do anything.
After all, Ji Haodian knew what he was doing now. Although he was a little abnormal now, he was not really crazy, so as long as these princes did not cause too much trouble, he would not do anything.
Otherwise, if he dared to do anything to his own children, then the world would really be in chaos.
Of course, this was on the premise that the princes had to be honest. Otherwise, Ji Haodian would not let them stay.
For Ji Haodian now, nothing was more important than his own life. Although it was said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, if this group of princes really threatened his great plan of longevity, then Ji Haodian's mind would become even more vicious than a tiger's.
As Su Xin knocked on the table, an unfathomable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The current situation was a dead end. Ji Haodian wanted to live forever, and he wanted to sit on the throne forever.
But how could his sons be willing to be princes in name for the rest of their lives? How could those martial arts sects allow the emergence of a truly everlasting dynasty?
The conflict between the two sides had always been there. Unless Ji Haodian suddenly thought it through and gave up the throne, the princes would not be provoked by those martial arts sects and would be willing to be an idle Master for the rest of their lives. This was the only way to break out of the deadlock.
But unfortunately, people were selfish. Su Xin was sure that neither side would give in.
Su Xin stood up and said, "Let's go take a walk on the street. We can also see how muddy the water in Shengjing City is. By the way, call Qi Long along as well."
On the long street, Su Xin, Huang Bingcheng, Qi Long, and a group of constables from Six Fan School seemed to be strolling leisurely, but wherever they went, the entire street would suddenly become silent.
During this period of time, the people from Six Fan School had deliberately not been involved in the affairs of the city, so the security in Shengjing City was indeed much more chaotic than before.
But now that Su Xin had come out, with his reputation, who would dare to cause trouble in front of him? Were they tired of living?
Originally, there were two warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm who were mocking each other on the long street, so they were a little angry. However, when they saw Su Xin and the others walking over, their expressions suddenly changed. They immediately moved aside and stood to the side.
Both of them were the subordinates of the two princes who had just entered the city. The two princes did not like each other, so the subordinates of the two princes did not need to be said. If they had not deliberately held back their anger, they would have probably started fighting.
But now that they saw Su Xin, all their anger dissipated.
Su Xin walked past them and simply said, "This is Shengjing City. Don't forget who you are. If you break the rules, you will be punished, and the people behind you will not look good either."
The expressions of the two warriors changed slightly, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only lower their heads and wait for Su Xin to walk past them.
At this time, in the tavern on the side of the road, two warriors wearing bamboo hats and linen clothes were drinking.
Seeing the scene outside, one of the warriors, who looked masculine and had dark skin, suddenly sighed and said, "This is how a real man should be! In the past, Su Xin only rose from the wilderness, but look at him now.
He has power in an area, and his name shakes the world. These two are also martial arts masters in the Divine Transformation Realm, and the people behind them are also princes of the Zhou Kingdom. But after being taught a lesson by Su Xin, they did not even dare to let out a fart. What kind of prestige is this?
Brother Zhang, we have cultivated the martial dao for decades and endured so much loneliness and suffering. Now, we are just a nobody, and we are not even comparable to a junior like Su Xin. I am not satisfied! "
This warrior put down the wine glass in his hand, and a trace of his powerful aura leaked out. He was actually also in the Harmonious God Realm.
