On the surface of Wu Shang Lake, there was a boat. At the bow of the boat was an old man with white hair and a slightly hunched back. He had a bamboo hat on his back and his sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing a strength that didn't match his age. His hands were slowly rowing the boat. The boat was moving forward at a steady pace.
At the back of the boat, there was a young girl in a black silk dress. Her skin was smooth and her waist was like a willow. She had a beautiful face, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something unhappy. She sat at the bow of the boat, hugging her knees as she stared blankly at the surface of the lake.
"Miss, the bow of the boat is cold. Go inside and rest." At this time, a middle-aged woman in a purple dress walked out and put a cloak on the young girl's shoulder.
The young girl was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator and naturally wouldn't be affected by the cold of the mortal world. However, there would be a terrifying cold air coming out of Wu Shang Lake every once in a while. Even the Jin Dan cultivators wouldn't be able to withstand it if they went to the bottom of the lake. Even though they were on the surface of the lake, the young girl was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If she stayed at the bow of the boat for too long, she would still be affected.
"I wonder how Father and Mother are now. Are they well?" The young girl sighed faintly.
"Your Highness is still His Majesty's own flesh and blood. Although you have been punished for a while, you won't lose your life. It's just that you have temporarily lost your freedom. Perhaps after a while, His Majesty will forgive your Highness on account of their past relationship. Wang Ye is known for his kindness and kindness. He definitely won't have a bad ending. "The woman in the purple dress comforted her. "Right now, the only thing Wang Ye can't let go of is the princess. Miss, you have to take care of yourself and break through to the Jin Dan stage soon. Maybe you can help Wang Ye out."
"Yes, Aunt Xu, I understand. When we get to the Moon Hidden Villa, I will focus on cultivating and try to break through to my current stage as soon as possible." The young girl Xiang Lian 'er nodded seriously.
The woman in the purple dress, Xu Wan, sighed in her heart. Although she was persuading Xiang Xinyi like this, she did not know if there would really be a chance for her to be pardoned. On the day she returned to the royal palace, the princes in the royal palace were scheming against each other and fighting for the throne by any means necessary. The crown prince died early, and the second prince, Prince Wuying, Xiang Qiong, was favored by the emperor and was about to ascend to the throne. However, he was set up by the other princes, and something went wrong with his cultivation, causing him to lose his sight. He was imprisoned by the aged emperor. Even if she was released, the blind Xiang Qiong would lose the possibility of inheriting the throne. Since the founding of the Xiang Country, there had never been a person with a disability who had inherited the throne.
Xiang Qiong's power had been uprooted in a single day. In order to prevent Xiang Lian 'er, her only daughter, from being harmed, Xiang Qiong had arranged for him and Iron Arm Yuan Gang, who was the old man manning the boat, to bring Xiang Xinyi away from the Imperial City. They were heading towards the Wu Shang City, which was the border between the Da Qi Kingdom and the Tian Wu Kingdom. Xiang Qiong was benevolent and generous, and he had a group of old men who were loyal to him. However, Xiang Lian 'er's status was exceptionally noble, and she also had the possibility of inheriting the throne. The princes in the imperial court might not be at ease. The reason they had not yet found them was probably because they had not yet grasped their whereabouts. Although he and Yuan Gang were also Jin Dan cultivators, they were only in the middle stage of the Jin Dan realm. Once the princes sent out assassins, Xu Wan did not have the slightest confidence that they would be able to hold on for long. However, he had heard that Wu Shang City was located at the border between several countries, and the order there was relatively good. He could only hope that the future would be peaceful. Xu Wan sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, Xu Wan felt that the speed of Yuan Gang's oars seemed to have changed slightly. Instantly, he looked forward with a vigilant expression. He saw an even larger ship breaking through the water surface and coming over at high speed. The leader was a handsome man with white hair, but his face was no different from a normal middle-aged man. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
"I am Fu Mingyuan, and I have specially come to welcome Young Master!" The handsome man stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to Xiang Lian 'er from several hundred feet away.
"Welcome Young Master!" The other dozens of black-clothed cultivators on the boat all knelt on one knee on the deck, their voices in unison.
"Splash …" At this time, Lu Xiaotian had originally planned to wait for these people to pass before coming out of the water. However, the severity of his injuries was somewhat out of his expectations, and in addition to the fact that he had to avoid the cold air from the water, Lu Xiaotian could no longer hold back and came out between the two boats. "Pu," he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the water red.
Fu Mingyuan and the others who had lived in Wu Shang City for a long time instantly changed their expressions. It was late autumn, the time when Wu Shang Lake was filled with cold air. Normally, even Jin Dan cultivators would not be willing to go into the lake. However, a silver-haired cultivator had suddenly appeared in front of them, but his condition did not seem to be good.
When Xu Wan and Yuan Gang saw Lu Xiaotian, their expressions were guarded, and they silently protected Xiang Lian 'er in the middle.
"This person seems to be injured, let him come on the boat." Seeing Lu Xiaotian's pale face and his body shivering under the invasion of the cold air, Xiang Lian 'er couldn't bear to see him like this.
"Young Miss, our situation is special. This person's background is unknown, so it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble and let him fend for himself," Xu Wan advised in a low voice.
Lu Xiaotian took a deep breath. He originally thought that once he reached the water, he would be able to leave on his sword. However, the speed at which his injuries were worsening was beyond his expectations. The dual attacks of the Misty Sword Qi and the cold air in his body were making it difficult for him to deal with. Due to his heavy injuries, he was temporarily unable to fly. As for the Heal of Ice, he had already used it. It could only heal the injuries in his body, but it was unable to prevent the destruction of the Misty Sword Qi. It was a temporary solution. He originally thought that escaping through the transportation formation would be fine, but he did not expect the Misty Sword Qi to be so powerful. Now, Lu Xiaotian urgently needed a place to recuperate, but there were several Jin Dan cultivators in front of him. His current state was no longer suitable for a battle. As for Di Kun, ever since he swallowed that inner core a few years ago, he was still in a critical period of increasing his strength. If not for the fact that he had no other choice, Lu Xiaotian did not want to interrupt his cultivation. Of course, if these people did not have good intentions, then it would be a different story.
"Let's save him, it's still a human life." Xiang Lian 'er sighed faintly. Although she was not a good person, at this time, her family was in decline and had encountered great changes. Many of the original people in the prince's residence had been executed. Her state of mind was desolate, and when she saw Lu Xiaotian's situation, it was easier for her to soften.
"Young Master, this Fellow Daoist is right. Wushang City is everywhere. Between the three kingdoms, there are too many fugitives. Even if Young Master wants to do something, you may not be able to do it. This person looks very strange, even if we save him, he may still be a disaster, "Fu Mingyuan said with a smile.
