Middle Sky Region, Qing City.
On top of the tall and majestic city walls, the tower was equally huge.
Standing on top of the tower, one could look into the distance.
At the center of Qing City was an incomparably grand and luxurious prince's mansion.
At this moment, in the main hall of the prince's mansion, a middle-aged man sat on a tall chair.
His facial features were feminine, and he had a hooked nose. His eyes were long and cold. He wore a scarlet cloak, and he had an intimidating aura.
He had the powerful aura of a cultivator, the awe-inspiring arrogance of a ruler, and even the viciousness of a poisonous warrior.
Da Xia Kingdom's Prince Qing, Xia Qing.
Da Xia Kingdom was currently ruled by Xia Hong. Other than that, there were three other branches.
The rulers of these three branches were Prince Qing, Prince Tailing, and King Slayer.
The three kings were all top-notch cultivators who had stepped into Realm Nine.
The Realm Nine cultivator, Prince Qing, sat on the main seat. Below the main hall, there were many cultivators with extraordinary cultivation bases. They were silent, waiting for something.
At this moment.
"Reporting to Father …" A black-robed youth lowered his head and walked quickly into the main hall. He said respectfully, "I've found that … figure."
He held a spiritual letter in his hand.
Prince Qing's heart skipped a beat. He reached out, and the spiritual letter automatically flew into his palm.
His Divine Sense entered the spiritual letter, and he read it carefully.
A moment later, Prince Qing came back to his senses.
His hand shook, and the spiritual letter in his hand instantly turned to dust.
"Ten thousand years of preparation. Now, everything is ready, and I'm only missing one thing. This is the only stumbling block left on my path," Prince Qing said in a deep voice.
When the cultivators below heard this, their eyes unconsciously revealed a fanatical look.
"Prince Qing has already reached that step?" A middle-aged cultivator in heavy armor with a pair of long and sharp eyes asked.
Prince Qing nodded. "With … the power of, my cultivation base has been improving. Now, I'm only left with the last layer that I can't break through.
"It wasn't that I wasn't strong enough at the final hurdle, but that the providence of the Heavenly Dao was restricting my progress.
If I want to take another step forward, I need new providence. "Prince Qing's eyes revealed a crazed look as he said firmly," Only by gathering the providence of Da Xia Kingdom in my body can I break through the bottleneck! "
"Xia Ruo has occupied the throne for ten thousand years, holding onto the destiny of a dynasty for herself, yet her cultivation is lacking. She has wasted the fortune of the Da Xia Kingdom for nothing." A voice rang out in the hall, responding to Prince Qing. "I wonder why the king of the Da Xia Kingdom took a fancy to her back then!"
"This position should be occupied by a capable person. Now that the Demons are eyeing us covetously, the Da Xia Kingdom is ruled by such a weak woman. If this goes on, how can we survive?"
"In the Da Xia Kingdom, who is more suitable than Prince Qing for the position of King?"
Voices of agreement rose and fell.
"If it wasn't for him, how could Xia Ruo have the qualifications to sit alone on the throne for so long?" Prince Qing looked forward.
His gaze seemed to pass through countless spaces and time, through countless mountains and rivers, and finally landed on a certain person.
It was a strange man who, with his own strength, could intimidate the three branches of the royal family. For ten thousand years, they didn't dare to act rashly.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had coincidentally obtained that information … even Prince Qing wouldn't dare to plot against him.
"Right now, he's at his weakest. Although it's … very difficult for him to do it, with his talent, it's not impossible for him to create an unprecedented miracle and open up a brand new path.
If he really succeeds, when that time comes, no one will be able to shake Xia Ruo's position. "It was the same voice again.
"So, Prince Qing, we must seize this opportunity and succeed in one fell swoop!"
"You're right." Prince Qing smiled lightly and said indifferently, "I've prepared for this moment for so long, even …"
"Now that the opportunity is in front of me, how can I miss it? How can I miss it? "As he spoke, Prince Qing's voice had already changed from its original indifference to becoming increasingly gloomy.
"Now, it's time for those who are willing to take the bait." The voice let out a hoarse laugh. "Inviting an immortal into the trap … However, the current him may no longer be worthy of the title of 'immortal'. Hehehe …"
At this moment, a figure swayed outside the hall again. Another tall and sturdy figure walked in.
This person walked in with large strides and an imposing appearance. It was one of Prince Qing's grandsons, Xia Yongzhen.
"Prince Qing, there's news from Tower Lord Luohe. Not long ago, someone used Xiu Chun's channel to mobilize the Zhishou Tower's intelligence and investigate the Green Wind Sect."
At this point, Xia Yongzhen opened his mouth to explain, "The Green Wind Sect is one of the many small sects involved in the blood exchange transaction three years ago. Due to it being extremely inconspicuous, I only noticed this matter now."
"Hm?" Prince Qing unconsciously frowned.
"Who's investigating? Did they discover something important about me, or was it just a coincidence? "
"According to the intelligence, this person is Lu Qingshan, a disciple of the Sword Sect. Based on the current information, he shouldn't have any reason to know about our Qing lineage. However …"
Xia Yongzhen paused for a moment, and then said doubtfully, "He shouldn't have any reason to suddenly appear in the middle heaven region and investigate the Green Wind Sect …"
"I suspect that Xia Daoyun might have found out about something, but it's inconvenient for her to show herself, so she sent her disciple to investigate on her behalf." Xia Yongzhen made his own guess.
"This matter isn't that big of a deal. No matter how capable a cultivator at the fifth level is, what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?
However, it isn't small either. After all, he has Xia Daoyun behind him. Moreover, this matter just so happened to appear at such a crucial juncture. It is indeed worth paying attention to. "The voice sounded again.
When Prince Qing heard this, his expression also became serious.
At such a crucial juncture, he couldn't allow even the slightest accident to happen.
"Then let's get rid of him first." Prince Qing made his decision.
"Prince Qing, this is Xia Daoyun's disciple, a member of the Sword Sect. If we fight her disciple, then …" Someone in the hall reminded him.
"If we succeed, even Sword Immortal Qingyun won't be able to do anything to me, let alone a trifling Xia Daoyun.
If we fail, then I'll be walking down the path of death, becoming the target of public criticism. Do I really have to worry about Xia Daoyun? "Prince Qing was extremely calm.
"Since we'll either succeed or die trying, then why should we worry so much?"
The hall fell silent. Everyone's gazes met, and various thoughts surfaced in their minds.
"Let's leave it at that. Yongzhen, I'll leave the matter of Lu Qingshan to you," Prince Qing instructed.
Xia Yongzhen cupped his fists and said respectfully, "As you command."
"All of you, carry out your duties. I don't want any of you to tell me when something unexpected happened," Prince Qing said coldly.
"Your subordinate understands," the other cultivators replied.
Soon, all of the cultivators retreated, leaving Prince Qing alone in the hall.
"A single person is enough to make this king's people feel as if they're facing a great enemy, and are on full alert …"
He muttered to himself, "Who can deny that you're a romantic? However, this time, no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to break out of this situation. "
"You brought this upon yourself. Who told you to be so audacious? Don't blame this king for taking advantage of you … As the saying goes, a great man must be ruthless. "
"Moreover …" Prince Qing's gaze was distant as he said coldly, "No matter what I've done, at the very least, I still stand on the side of the human race. Those who achieve great things don't care about trifles. I … have a clear conscience!"
