There were many versions of Wu Zetian's legend. Some guessed that she was Li Shimin's concubine, while others guessed that they were subordinates.
Now, it seemed that Wu Zetian was definitely a concubine. Otherwise, she would not have lost her virginity.
However, although the Tang Empire was prosperous, its internal relationships were extremely chaotic.
Li Shimin killed his two brothers and married his sister-in-law and auntie. While he was ill, Wu Zetian developed feelings for his son. Later on, Li Zhi took the latter as his concubine and even made her the empress, the mother of the world.
In a few years, Li Shimin would probably die of illness, and the great Emperor of a generation would fall.
Retracting her gaze, Mu Qingxiao took a step forward and landed on the corridor. She sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. The vast power of the Immortal Soul quietly spread out.
About an hour later, a wave of energy came from the direction of Chang 'an.
Mu Qingxiao opened her eyes and narrowed her gaze.
In the void, a figure was speeding toward her. It was a middle-aged man with golden hair, a dragon head, and a human body. He wore a dragon robe and a silver crown.
Jinghe Dragon King!
At this moment, Jinghe Dragon King's eyes were filled with fear. He rushed into the palace courtyard.
"Ding! Main Mission 2: Save Jinghe Dragon King. Due to the bet, the latter violated the heavenly rules in anger and changed the time and amount of rain without permission. The Heavenly Court has ordered the Human World's Heavenly Official Wei Zheng to kill Jinghe Dragon King at noon tomorrow. Mission Reward: One level up."
Suddenly, the system notification rang in her mind. Mu Qingxiao's eyes flashed. Finally, the mission was triggered.
However, when the notification sounded, Mu Qingxiao and Jun Yi's faces showed signs of conflict.
Jinghe Dragon King's death was driven by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. Originally, he did not intend to get involved. He only came to the palace to wait for the Journey to the West plot to begin.
But now, it seemed that it was impossible to stay out of it. Although it could only increase one level, it was enough to save him a lot of cultivation time.
Moreover, each level of the Golden Immortal Realm was a watershed, and their combat power was completely different.
Sun Wukong, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, could wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace as a Golden Immortal. Similarly, Mu Qingxiao was not afraid. Moreover, he was not that monkey, who had nothing better to do in front of Gautama Buddha.
A mere Golden Immortal dared to show off in front of a Golden Immortal. One could imagine the consequences.
Mu Qingxiao was not afraid of Tathagata. He was just a little wary. Given some time, it was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm.
Guanyin Bodhisattva had left, and there was no one in Chang 'an whose state was higher than his. Mu Qingxiao just hid his breath and sat cross-legged in the corridor, and no one could find him.
Hiding in the dark, her starry eyes observed every movement in the palace.
About half an hour later, a golden-haired middle-aged man in a dragon robe rushed out of the palace. The palace where Li Shimin lived suddenly became brightly lit.
On the corridor, black flames spread. Mu Qingxiao transformed into a two-feet-long black phoenix. Spreading his wings, he flapped his body slightly and chased after Jinghe Dragon King.
Jinghe Dragon King was only at the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm. Moreover, his strength was greatly reduced in the form of an Immortal Soul. Naturally, his speed was not as fast as Mu Qingxiao. In the blink of an eye, he was overtaken and blocked.
Jinghe Dragon King's pupils shrank. His figure paused in the void and he exclaimed, "The Phoenix Clan!"
The black flames retracted, and the black phoenix instantly transformed into a young man in a white robe. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was as handsome as jade.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my path?"
Jinghe Dragon King took a step back as he looked at the young man blocking his path. His eyes were filled with fear.
With his cultivation of the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm, he could not sense the breath of the young man in front of him. The latter had restrained his breath to the extreme. His strength was definitely above Jinghe Dragon King's, and much stronger.
During the Primordial Age, the strongest races in the world rose. The Dragon Clan with the strongest scales, the Phoenix Clan with the strongest birds, and the Qilin Clan with the strongest beasts.
However, after the Dragon Phoenix Han Tribulation, the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Qilin Clan were basically wiped out. Other than the Qilin Clan, there were still traces of the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan in the world.
His Dragon Clan worked for the Heavenly Court. However, they were severely suppressed and were far from what they used to be. As for the Phoenix Clan, he was not very clear.
"Jinghe Dragon King, the Heavenly Court has already ordered that the Heavenly Official of the Human World, Wei Zheng, will behead you at noon tomorrow. Only I can save your life now."
Mu Qingxiao looked indifferently at Jinghe Dragon King, who had a dragon head and a human body. She shook her head slightly. If it were not for the mission, she did not intend to get involved to avoid attracting the attention of other Immortals.
"Impossible!"
Upon hearing Mu Qingxiao's words, Jinghe Dragon King trembled violently. Cold sweat broke out on his face, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Mister said that King Tang can save me. Who else can save me other than King Tang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingxiao had the urge to slap him. This unlucky guy was really scared silly.
"Calm down and think carefully. Li Shimin is only a mortal. How can he stop the Jade Emperor from killing you? From the beginning to the end, you have been fooled by someone. You don't even know that you are about to die. "
Instantly, Jinghe Dragon King's eyes widened. He was skeptical of Mu Qingxiao's words. This young man suddenly appeared and said that he could save his life. It did not make sense. What was he planning?
He had to be careful when it concerned his life.
Seeing that he was hesitating, Mu Qingxiao shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it. You will understand tomorrow at noon."
She glanced at Jinghe Dragon King. Space distorted, and Mu Qingxiao disappeared.
"…"
After Mu Qingxiao left, Jinghe Dragon King stood in the void and fell into deep thought. Based on the latter's tone, he should be a friend and not an enemy.
What puzzled him the most was, what did the latter mean by being fooled?
"If it's a disaster, I can't avoid it. Let's wait and see tomorrow at noon."
Jinghe Dragon King thought for a while. His heart was in turmoil, and he relaxed a little. Although he did not know why the latter appeared, judging from his tone, he should want to save his life.
At noon tomorrow, even if Li Shimin could not save him, he could ask him for help.
Thinking of this, Jinghe Dragon King's Immortal Soul entered Jinghe's residence as fast as lightning.
At the same time, Mu Qingxiao shook her head as she watched Jinghe Dragon King leave. The latter probably did not trust her.
She appeared in the form of a phoenix to make Jinghe Dragon King lower his guard. After all, they were both demons. She did not expect Jinghe Dragon King to be so stupid. She could only wait for an opportunity tomorrow.
After regaining her senses, Mu Qingxiao glanced at the depths of the palace. Confusion flashed in her eyes.
