At the foot of the Turtle Mountain, the people who were trapped on the Turtle Mountain and the people on the mountain descended the mountain safely.
Qin Yuan, Qin Li, Chu Yaoyao, and the others gathered together. Countless gazes fell on them.
Qin Yuan had failed to climb Turtle Mountain.
Ye Wuchen had climbed Turtle Mountain. According to Emperor Liu, Ye Wuchen would become the Liu Kingdom's consort.
Wouldn't the Qin Dynasty have to return empty-handed?
"Prince Qin, are you going to give up?" someone in the crowd asked. Would the Qin Dynasty give up so easily?
Qin Li looked at the crowd and smiled. "The prince of the Liu Kingdom, Liu Feiyang, is Ye Wuchen's good friend. He followed Ye Wuchen up the mountain, so Ye Wuchen was naturally able to reach the peak. This is the holy land of the Liu Kingdom, so it's not surprising."
Everyone's eyes flashed. Qin Li didn't want to admit Qin Yuan's failure.
Qin Yuan's handsome face looked at everyone. Smiling, he said, "I admire Princess Chenyu. How can I give up so easily?"
Everyone had a strange look on their faces. Was the Qin Dynasty determined to win?
Qin Li started walking, and the group left. Chu Yaoyao followed beside him. She glanced at Turtle Mountain. They hadn't left the mountain yet. She didn't know where they were. Thinking of the illusion she had experienced on Turtle Mountain, she felt very complicated.
Qin Li's group returned to the palace. The people from various forces also followed curiously. They wanted to see what would happen next.
However, Emperor Liu wasn't in the palace now.
At the peak of Turtle Mountain, behind the stone palace, there was a slope. There was a huge rock at the top, and Turtle Hermit was lying on it.
Emperor Liu also appeared on the slope. Turtle Mountain was the Liu Kingdom's holy land. Only the emperors could step onto this place freely.
"Senior Turtle, how's your divination?" Emperor Liu asked. He was the emperor, but Turtle Hermit had lived for countless years. Naturally, he deserved to be called senior. Turtle Hermit had already been Turtle Hermit when he was young.
"Have you ever thought of leaving with your people?" Turtle Hermit looked at Emperor Liu.
Emperor Liu's eyes hardened. Was the situation really that bad?
"This is my ancestor's foundation. Even if I'm willing to leave, how can I explain it to my people?" Emperor Liu sighed. "Tell them that I'm fleeing to avoid an unknown threat?"
"What about submitting?" Turtle Hermit asked again.
Lord Liu shook his head and felt a chill in his heart.
Master Roshi didn't say anything else. He was very quiet, and Liu Wang understood what he meant.
This was a calamity for the Liu Kingdom.
The Qin Dynasty said that they were willing to use Qin Yuan as a hostage and place him in the Liu Kingdom as the Emperor's son-in-law. However, how could he believe such words so easily?
The problem was, what could he do if he didn't believe it?
"How is Ye Wuchen?" King Liu suddenly asked.
"He's very persistent. He will definitely get involved." The Turtle Hermit said, "Although he's not as talented as some people on Turtle Mountain, the purity of his heart of the sword is almost unparalleled. His future achievements will definitely surpass yours."
"No wonder that guy from the seventh summit named him the Sword Son so early," the king of Liu said. "Where are the people from the Cottage?"
"Limitless. The Eastern Barren Territory will definitely transform in this generation." Turtle Hermit shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the Qin Dynasty came too quickly."
"I'll go check on them." He did not ask anything else. Turtle Hermit could deduce many things, but he was not a prophet. His attitude had already indicated that the Liu Kingdom was in danger.
The result of this deduction was that regardless of whether he agreed to the marriage with the Qin Dynasty or not, the danger would still exist.
In other words, the Qin Dynasty's purpose here might not be to propose a marriage.
"Okay." Turtle Hermit nodded slowly. Then, he climbed down. His movements were as slow as ever. The king of Liu waited patiently.
…
In the stone palace, Ye Futian, Ye Wuchen, Yu Sheng, Loulan Xue, and Liu Feiyang were all there. The Turtle Hermit had helped them.
At the moment, the group was quietly comprehending the mysteries of the stone steps in the palace.
In the scene in this world, a willow branch gently swept across and danced with the wind. It actually cut through the mountain and split the river.
A wisp of flame bloomed. It could never be extinguished until it burned the sky.
Ye Wuchen felt these scenes. Sword intent flowed through his body. If a willow branch could cut through a mountain, then what about a sword?
He was originally a sword body and had a very strong comprehension of the sword. Immersed in it, it was as if he had become a sword and a wisp of sword intent. He had heard his master say that a truly powerful person could kill an enemy from thousands of miles away with a wisp of sword intent. It was said that killing a person from thousands of miles away would not leave a trace.
Ye Futian was also comprehending. There were rules of various elements here. When he used Freedom Meditation, he could see more clearly. He thought of the battle between the third brother and Lu Nantian of the Donghua Clan in Chaoge City. The power that Lu Nantian had released at that time also gave him a similar feeling.
Could it be that the rule of operation was the ability of a Sage?
Had Turtle Hermit seen through the mysteries of the Sage Plane?
This was a legendary plane.
At the moment, outside the stone palace, two figures walked in. Seeing them, Ye Futian and the others stopped comprehending.
"Your Majesty," Ye Futian said.
His eyes flashed. He was somewhat surprised that the king of Liu had actually appeared here with Turtle Hermit.
At the moment, the king had a smile on his face. He did not show any majesty. Instead, he seemed very kind. He smiled at them and asked, "How do you feel?"
"I've benefited a lot," Ye Wuchen said to the king.
"That's good. You guys stay here and cultivate for a few more days. Don't worry about things over there." The king walked to Ye Wuchen's side and gently patted his shoulder. Ye Wuchen stood there and was somewhat stunned. What did the king's attitude mean?
Was he going to help him and Chenyu?
However, why did Turtle Hermit say that he had to leave or else there would be misfortune?
The king walked past Ye Wuchen and came to Ye Futian. His gaze fell on Ye Futian.
"Your Majesty," Ye Futian called out.
"You're welcome." The king smiled and said, "Ye Futian, I want to ask you for a favor."
Ye Futian revealed a puzzled expression. He looked at the king and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."
"Take care of Feiyang and Chenyu in the future," the king said. Ye Futian stared at the king. The Liu Kingdom was a top force in the Eastern Barren Territory. The king was the ruler of the country. Why would he say such words to him?
Unless Lord Liu had a bad premonition.
"I will do my best." Ye Futian nodded solemnly.
"Thank you." The king smiled and also patted Ye Futian's shoulder. "Cultivate hard. The future of the Eastern Barren Territory is yours."
With that, he glanced at his son, Liu Feiyang. Then, he turned and walked out of the stone palace. Turtle Hermit saw him off.
Ye Wuchen frowned and stood there. After Turtle Hermit sent King Liu out of the stone hall, he returned and said, "Don't worry and cultivate. Since King Liu has promised you, nothing will happen to the palace."
He was clearly referring to Liu Chenyu.
Ye Wuchen and the others nodded and continued cultivating.
…
In the Liu Kingdom's palace, Prince Qin Yuan came to visit Liu Chenyu's palace.
"Prince Qin, what's the matter?" Liu Chenyu asked softly. Her tone was calm but it gave people a sense of distance.
"I went to the Turtle Mountain and experienced the illusion there. I actually saw the princess during the mental test, so I wanted to come and see you after I returned to the palace." Qin Yuan's handsome face was filled with a gentle smile. He was nowhere as twisted and hideous as he had been on the Turtle Mountain.
Moreover, Prince Qin's smile seemed to have a magical charm. It made people feel good about him.
Even though Liu Chenyu disliked him, she still couldn't hate his face. It wasn't because he was handsome but because it was a magical feeling.
Liu Chenyu didn't reply. What could she say?
"Nothing much. I just wanted to come and see. Goodbye." Qin Yuan was polite. Then, he turned and left. He seemed to have a sense of propriety.
"Princess, Prince Qin is really handsome. He seems to have a natural charm that makes people want to get close to him," said Liu Chenyu's maid beside her. Liu Chenyu's maid said. Because Liu Chenyu had a good personality, the maid would speak like this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to say anything.
A strange look appeared in Liu Chenyu's eyes. She knew that the maidservant was right, but at the moment, she thought of someone else. A gentle smile flashed across her eyes. He really reached the peak of Turtle Mountain.
After Qin Yuan left, Qin Li and the others visited the emperor when he returned. However, the emperor didn't give them an answer. He only invited everyone to a banquet and said that he would announce it when Ye Wuchen and the others returned.
The people of the Liu Imperial City were also waiting for the news. Ye Wuchen had reached Turtle Mountain. They didn't know if the emperor would choose him.
In the next few days, Qin Yuan visited Liu Chenyu's pavilion every day. He only stopped for a short while each day. It was just right.
Even the emperor knew about this. However, he had no reason to stop Qin Yuan. When Ye Wuchen returned, he would announce the result. By then, what excuse could the Qin Dynasty find?
On this day, only Qin Li and Qin Yuan were in the temporary imperial residence that Qin Li was in.
"You still haven't taken down Liu Chenyu?" Qin Li frowned. His eyes were sharp as he stared at Qin Yuan.
"Liu Chenyu's plane isn't much lower than mine. I need time," Qin Yuan said.
"There's no time. You've seen that old fox's attitude. Ye Wuchen will announce the result when he returns. If that happens, the plan will fail," Qin Li said coldly. "This plan will fail because of you. I'll give you two more days. You must take down Liu Chenyu completely. Aren't you interested in such a beautiful uncle?"
Darkness flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes. He was even more interested in the Virgin of the Moon Clan, Chu Yaoyao. If he had the chance, he would make Chu Yaoyao submit to him.
"Isn't it too risky?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Even if it fails, with your identity, would the Liu Kingdom dare to kill you? If the Liu Kingdom attacks you, it'll be a great achievement, "Qin Li said." You'll be responsible for affecting my father's plan. "
"I understand." Qin Yuan nodded and left.
