47: Chapter 47 Ruan Xingqiao's Relentless Pursuit

In Prince Fang's heart, he leaned more towards what he had seen today.

The young man he saw today was the true face of that mysterious expert!

As a member of the Jin Kingdom's royal family and a genuine martial arts master, Prince Fang was truly afraid today.

He had never felt such terrifying pressure from an Eighth-Grade Martial Artist.

The Jin Kingdom and the Shun Kingdom had been at war for many years, and in truth, there was a great deal of interaction between them.

No matter how much he racked his brains, he could not figure out how such a figure could emerge from the Shun Kingdom.

Looking across the entire Jin Kingdom, if even he had no way to resolve such a crisis, then they could only ask a Ninth-Grade Mortal Immortal to step in!

For both the Jin Kingdom and the Shun Kingdom, this meant that the situation had completely spiraled out of control.

In border warfare, the Martial Artists usually sent to fight were at most Sixth-Grade.

Many generals were only at the Peak of the Sixth-Grade.

A Seventh-Grade Martial Artist was sufficient to serve as an advisor in a frontline Military Camp.

But now, a Seventh-Grade could not even be considered a contender.

For the Jin Kingdom, if they did not bring out a Ninth-Grade, they would suffer a great loss.

But if they really brought out a Ninth-Grade, the surrounding countries would be the ones rejoicing.

Prince Fang did not dwell on it; this matter was no longer something he could decide alone.

He could only report it and see how the Great Jin imperial court would arrange things.

Organizing his thoughts, he knew that after returning, many people would surely come to question him.

But he feared no questioning; Prince Fang firmly believed his judgment was correct.

That young man definitely had the strength to kill him, or at the very least, severely injure him!

As for those who went with him, he had no intention of caring about them.

A person like him always only cared about himself.

Meanwhile, after Li Yuan killed those few, he had already used the Corpse Looting Technique again.

Originally, these were just a few young people, so Li Yuan did not have many expectations.

But this time, using the Corpse Looting Technique was truly different.

After the Corpse Looting Technique was upgraded to Level 5, when he used it, he could acquire their Physique to supplement his own.

What Li Yuan expected was just to acquire a ten percent boost from their Physique.

But among them, there was one person who actually possessed the Lotus Physique.

The Lotus Physique possessed two extremely powerful effects.

The first was purification, specifically manifested as resisting poisonous Qi and other harmful substances.

It might be inaccurate to call it immunity to all poisons.

But any poison that came into contact with the Lotus Physique would have its effects greatly weakened.

The second was powerful vitality and recovery ability.

If this person had not been facing Li Yuan, not facing Li Yuan, this terrifying Eighth-Grade Expert.

No Martial Artist of the same generation or the same martial arts Realm in this world would have been able to take his life.

Facing Li Yuan, no matter how strong his vitality and recovery ability were, he was ultimately only at the Fifth-Grade.

If he deserved to die, he had to die; he could not survive.

As the Lotus Physique merged into his body, in an instant, Li Yuan felt himself become a bit more agile.

To put it more intuitively, it was as if he had more vitality and was not as easily fatigued.

Furthermore, after the improvement of the Tai Xuan Divine Art, his own martial arts Internal Energy was very harmonious with the Lotus Physique.

There was a feeling of them intertwining and taking a step forward.

Li Yuan found another secluded place.

He completely merged the Lotus Physique into his body and began to use it skillfully.

With so much martial arts experience from other Martial Artists in his mind, even this strange Physique was quickly understood by Li Yuan.

After stabilizing his own condition, the next step was to try to break through the Realm and enter the Ninth-Grade.

For this step, he would still borrow the experience of the two Ninth-Grade Mortal Immortals, Qin Fengzhan and Xie Zhou.

Beneath the Qiwang Mountains, there was a treasure trove for training.

Besides training, deep within the treasure trove, there was a Senior who had passed away while meditating.

That Senior might have passed away a thousand years ago, and Li Yuan did not know if he could still use the Corpse Looting Technique.

But for now, he could only try.

After resting for a night, Li Yuan set off forward.

At the same time, the city of Yingyang Pass was becoming increasingly lively.

Various factions began to plant spies to come and inquire about the situation of that mysterious expert.

An Eighth-Grade Martial Arts Peak, an existence capable of killing Elder Langhe.

Such a figure, if placed in the Da Shun, would definitely be a powerful hegemon.

His appearance would certainly mean carving out a piece of the interests in the Da Shun.

There were only so many interests; if he wanted to take a piece, someone would definitely suffer.

Given this situation, how could the relevant factions not be worried?

Yingyang Pass had never been this lively before.

It looked like trade and business were all increasing and expanding, but in reality, they were all damn spies.

While these people were inquiring about the mysterious expert, Ruan Xingqiao was still focused on searching for Li Yuan's tracks.

She had already obtained most of the intelligence on Li Yuan.

An orphan of war, with no background here, previously a servant in the City Lord's Mansion.

As for martial arts, he might have learned a little in the Military Camp.

Perhaps he had just entered the First-Grade, or maybe the Second-Grade.

To deal with such a person, she, Ruan Xingqiao, did not need any concerns.

In fact, upon learning that Li Yuan had once worked as a servant in the City Lord's Mansion, she resented Li Yuan even more.

Li Yuan actually used an image somewhat similar to Meng Guidu to work as a servant!

Not to mention other matters, just for this point alone, she would not allow Li Yuan to continue living.

The others from Qianqiu Mountain were very busy during this period.

Elder Xue Song came to help guard Yingyang Pass.

The Jin Kingdom had lost an Eighth-Grade, so they would definitely find a way to retaliate and counterattack.

The two advisors of Yingyang Pass had no ability to withstand this.

Two Seventh-Grades were long since unqualified to get involved in this turmoil.

Yingyang Pass had always been within the sphere of influence of Qianqiu Mountain.

If they could not withstand the threat brought by the Jin Kingdom, then the interests in this area would very likely have to be shared with others in the future.

After several days of busyness, when Yu Jin saw Ruan Xingqiao, she still spoke up to remind her.

To tell her to have moderation in her actions.

Do not spend all her energy on a mere pawn.

"Your aunt supports your approach, but that is for you to return to normal cultivation and martial arts training.

It is for you to drag that person out and get a result.

But this matter must absolutely not affect you."

Yu Jin's face was serious, and she was very dissatisfied with Ruan Xingqiao's recent performance.

"You must pay attention to your identity; you are the future successor of Qianqiu Mountain.

The pressure you will have to face will be many times greater than it is now.

A small matter, a nameless pawn makes you like this, how will you handle major events in the future?"

Facing these criticisms from Yu Jin, Ruan Xingqiao hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

In these past few days, she had actually been thinking about things as well.

The road ahead was still long; what about after avenging Meng Guidu? Could she not move forward anymore?

While contemplating, Ruan Xingqiao was also thinking about her future path.

Cultivation and martial arts training could not stop.

After capturing Li Yuan and finding out the truth about Meng Guidu's death, she would eventually have to return to the path of cultivation.

"Aunt, rest assured, Qiao'er knows what she is doing.

After this matter, I will definitely withdraw my focus and devote it entirely to cultivation."

Having received Ruan Xingqiao's assurance, Yu Jin, who was on the side, nodded.

"If this can really make you compose your mind, then this pawn named Li Yuan can be considered to have done a great service for the Da Shun."
