245: Death of Xiang Ying

Xiang Ping had been out of favor since he was a child.

With his low Cultivation talent, he had no choice but to venture out on his own to seek a chance to turn his fortunes around.

But venturing out always came with danger.

During a chase by a Yao Beast, he inadvertently stumbled into Dao Ling Village, which was isolated from the world.

This sudden arrival of a young man quickly attracted the attention of the other villagers.

They began to teach Xiang Ping how to Cultivate, and he did not disappoint.

Not only did he undergo an Awakening of a mysterious Dao Body, but his Cultivation also soared, advancing rapidly all the way to the Dao Lotus Realm.

"Sure enough."

"Among the things on Xiang Ping, there is definitely something extraordinary."

You muttered to yourself, then ordered Gu Ziyan to bring everyone back to the Six Paths Demonic Palace.

However, at this moment, another anomaly occurred.

A blind man in Dao Ling Village suddenly tensed, and then streaks of sharp light burst from his empty eye sockets.

"Ziyan?!"

He shouted in disbelief, but Gu Ziyan merely paused before tying them all up again!

"Damn it, Ziyan, what's wrong with you?!"

"What did this person do to you…"

The blind man shouted repeatedly, but before he could finish, you lunged forward and grabbed his head!

To prevent him from reporting to the Gu Family, you refined his entire Divine Soul.

In just a few breaths, the blind man collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Oh? A disheartened Gu Family member…"

"In his despair, he was guided by fate to Dao Ling Village to live in seclusion."

"Interesting, it seems someone is paving the way for this Xiang Ping."

You muttered to yourself, then once again instructed Gu Ziyan to capture them all and bring them back to the Six Paths Demonic Palace.

A month later.

During this month, there were no special circumstances in the entire Tianji Immortal Court.

And Xiang Ying seemed to have settled everything for you, just as he said he would.

You sat quietly in the main hall, studying the various spiritual items collected from Xiang Ping.

"Report…"

"Palace Master, Crown Prince Tianji requests an audience!"

"Let him in."

As soon as your voice fell, Xiang Ying entered the main hall with a massive amount of resources, looking nervous.

He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Palace Master, my imperial brother has been captured by you for a month now. Why haven't you made a move to kill him?"

"After all, our agreement was to kill Xiang Ping completely. What are you doing now…"

Upon hearing this, your brows furrowed slightly.

However, after pondering for a moment, you still decided to send someone to bring Xiang Ping into the main hall.

After all, although you couldn't perform a soul search on him, everything on him was already under your control, so his life or death didn't seem that important anymore.

What's more…

You also wanted to see what other special qualities Xiang Ping possessed.

What different situations would arise when such an extraordinary individual faced a desperate situation?

A moment later, Xiang Ping was brought into the main hall.

"Big Brother?!"

Xiang Ping exclaimed in shock.

You said indifferently, "Your previous intelligence was completely different from the actual situation around Xiang Ping, which caused no small impact on us."

"Now I can hand him over to you to deal with, but whether or not you make a move is up to you."

As your voice fell, the entire hall immediately fell into silence.

A hint of struggle flashed in Xiang Ying's eyes.

Countless memories flashed through his mind.

He thought of himself as the Crown Prince, instilled with the idea of becoming an emperor since childhood.

He thought of his arduous Cultivation and his strict demands on his own behavior.

He thought of how, when Xiang Ping emerged, many powerful officials in the Tianji Immortal Court flocked to him, putting himself in an awkward position.

He thought of his helplessness, having to pay a huge price to seek help from his former enemy, the Six Paths Demonic Palace.

And even in the end, he thought of Xiang Ping ascending to the throne and taking control of the Tianji Immortal Court…

Soon, the struggle in Xiang Ying's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by desire.

"I'm sorry, Ninth Brother, although you are indeed excellent, I… I really want to be emperor too much."

"This should have been mine all along."

"It's mine, Xiang Ying's!"

As soon as his voice fell, Xiang Ying quickly stepped forward, his long sword sweeping down horizontally, directly slashing towards Xiang Ping.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Xiang Ying's figure suddenly froze in place, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes, as if he had just seen something terrifying.

Your pupils constricted slightly, and you immediately understood that Xiang Ying must have felt the same obstruction you had once experienced.

To forcibly kill Xiang Ping would surely be met with resistance from the entire world, putting him at odds with the entire world.

"Why, why do so many things help you?!"

"No, I'm not reconciled!"

"Ah!"

Xiang Ying let out a series of roars.

His figure, which had been stunned by the power of heaven and earth, actually swung his sword again, continuing to stab at Xiang Ping!

However…

Xiang Ying's body began to collapse!

How could he, with a Cultivation only at the Dao Lotus Realm, possibly contend with the power of heaven and earth?

The moment he resisted the power of heaven and earth, his life force plummeted.

When the sword in his hand struck Xiang Ping, it no longer caused any harm.

"Clang…"

"Thud…"

The immortal sword fell to the ground, and along with it, Xiang Ying's body.

The Dao Lotuses on him crumbled layer by layer, completely disappearing in just a few breaths.

In his dying moments, Xiang Ying took a deep look at Xiang Ping.

He was resentful, unwilling, despairing, and also slightly relieved…

But all these emotions, in the end, could only turn into a silent sigh.

He died!

This Crown Prince of the Tianji Immortal Court died strangely in the main hall.

This bizarre scene shocked everyone present.

Including you and Xiang Ping!

"This is truly… outrageous."

You waved your hand, instructing your Cultivator subordinates to re-imprison Xiang Ping, while you fell into deep thought.

You had originally thought that Xiang Ping, at most, was like Tang Chuan and Chu Han in the past, a person carrying Luck.

It was just that the world he was in was more Advanced, and naturally, he was more difficult to kill than the Cultivators in those past worlds.

But now it seemed you were wrong.

Terribly wrong.

Xiang Ping was simply not comparable to those who carried Luck.

He had the favor of the entire world, and even when facing a fatal crisis, the power of heaven and earth would come to his aid.
