Emperor Ning stood in Chen Xian's world and found himself very small. He was shocked: "Is this your magical power?"

Chen Xian nodded: "Desolate Cauldron Realm, I'm sorry to have frightened Your Majesty."

Emperor Ning was shocked for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I suspect that Ao Li, Gu Tuo, and Shi Chui suddenly launched an attack because someone colluded with the three clans and wanted to kill me. This person is most likely from the Tianwu Sect."

Chen Xian looked surprised. He didn't know what Emperor Ning was thinking, so he didn't respond.

"That day in Zhenwu City, I was influenced by Ao Li's words. Later, I thought about it carefully. His sudden attack on me had nothing to do with you. Even if you didn't kill Yuan Fei, he would still attack me."

Emperor Ning said with a frown.

Chen Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that you don't trust Director Wei either?"

Emperor Ning snorted coldly: "This old dog is only loyal to Daning, but not necessarily to me. He is lurking in the palace, so he must have some purpose that he has not achieved. I suspect he may be after the three immortal artifacts."

Chen Xian said: "Your Majesty, can't those three immortal weapons be used?"

Emperor Ning said: "It can be used to suppress the three places of Black Abyss, Demon Abyss and Dragon Abyss. You should have heard that there are three great demons sealed in those three places. Once they break the seal and come out, the world will be in chaos."

"Long Yuan?" Chen Xian knew about Black Yuan and Demon Yuan, but had never heard of Long Yuan.

"Longyuan is deep in the sea clan, and there is a magic dragon sealed inside. The demon clan has been attacking Daning, and their purpose is to get the immortal weapon and release the magic dragon."

"So that's how it is." Chen Xian suddenly understood.

No wonder the demon army and the wild tribe launched wars against Daning every once in a while, with the aim of taking away the magic weapons in the palace.

"The demon tribe also has powerful demon emperors, why don't they come directly to the palace to take them?"

"The palace has a powerful formation. Even if the Demon Emperor comes in person, he can't take the immortal weapon. The Xiahou family and the Tang family also have Martial Emperors. As long as I send a message, they will be able to rush to the palace soon."

"With the addition of this old fellow Wei Cheng, it is enough to deal with a powerful demon emperor."

Chen Xian nodded: "If the emperor-level masters of the three tribes join forces, wouldn't Daning be in great danger?"

Emperor Ning said: "Although the Tianwu Sect, Zhenwu Dao Sect, and Dafo Temple are not of the same mind as our Great Ning Royal Family, if the emperor-level strongmen of the three tribes really come to the palace to take the immortal weapons, they will not just watch and come back to help."

"Because if the three immortal weapons are moved, the world will be in chaos, and all lives will be destroyed. If the three major sects do nothing about it, what do you think the world will think?"

Chen Xian said: "People in the world will definitely be disappointed with the three major sects, thinking that the famous and upright sects are just like this and are not worthy of their respect and faith."

"Not bad!"

Emperor Ning nodded. "When the world does not recognize the three major sects, they will also gradually lose their luck and decline like the dynasty. In many cases, it is the will of the people. Once the faith collapses, it will take a long time to rebuild it. In this process, new major sects will definitely appear and gradually replace them."

"It's the same as the change of dynasties."

"Chen Xian, you should be able to feel that my life is passing very quickly. At this rate, I will definitely reach the end of my life in ten years at most."

"Your Majesty, there must be a way to make you healed." Chen Xian said with a serious expression.

Emperor Ning shook his head: "The Medicine Master King came to see me personally, but he was helpless, unless his master, the Dan Emperor Wang Yansheng, was here. But the Dan Emperor traveled all over the world and his whereabouts are unknown. By the time I find him, I will be almost at the end of my life."

"Tell me, who is more suitable for me to pass the throne to?"

"This...!" Chen Xian opened his mouth.

"It's okay. You are the Marquis of Shenyong and the chief of the Fengtian Realm Demon Suppression Office. You are a court official I trust and are qualified to discuss this matter." Emperor Ning said.

Chen Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have never considered this matter. Apart from being familiar with the Ninth Prince, I am not very familiar with the other princes. I even have deep conflicts with the First Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Eighth Prince."

Emperor Ning frowned: "Do you have a conflict with the eldest prince?"

Chen Xian said: "I killed Prince Feng. Perhaps it was because of this incident that the eldest prince disliked me, but the conflict was not deep."

Emperor Ning said, "So that's what happened. First Prince, I watched him grow up. He is a man who considers the overall situation. He won't make things difficult for you just because of Prince Feng."

Chen Xian said: "Maybe I am too sensitive."

Emperor Ning said, "Leaving aside Old Nine, what do you think of the First Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince? And the Fifth Prince."

Chen Xian said: "I think your majesty has made up his mind."

Emperor Ning shook his head and smiled: "I have not made up my mind, so I asked for your opinion."

Chen Xian felt strange. He was just a marquis. Even if he might become a royal consort in half a year, it was not something he could decide on such an important matter as appointing a crown prince.

"The Fifth Prince has a straightforward and straightforward personality and is obsessed with martial arts. He is not suitable for governing the country."

"Third Prince, I cannot see through you."

"Second Prince, I have only heard that you are very talented in martial arts and also a talented commander. You have been fighting in foreign battles for many years and have made great achievements. You are good at governing the country with your principles. I dare not speak nonsense."

"The eldest prince has a good talent for martial arts. When he was young, he fought in many battles and made outstanding contributions. He has the talent to lead a commander. In recent years, he has been with Your Majesty and handled state affairs. The civil and military officials in the court are also very convinced of his ability. I think the eldest prince is worthy of the throne."

Emperor Ning's eyes flickered slightly, "Leave me here, go meet the Second Prince and have a conversation with him."

Chen Xian's eyes flickered, and he had a guess in his mind.

Emperor Ning probably wants to pass the throne to the second prince Ning Feng.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Xian nodded.

Emperor Ning stared at Chen Xian, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately stopped talking.

Chen Xian put away the Desolate Cauldron Realm, bowed to Emperor Ning, and turned to leave.

Walking out of the imperial study, he looked at the old eunuch who was standing beside him with his eyes closed.

The old eunuch opened his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of the Marquis of Divine Bravery."

Chen Xian asked, "What did Chief Steward Wei hear?"

Wei Cheng's expression remained unchanged: "I am just a servant, how dare I eavesdrop on the conversation between Your Majesty and the Marquis of Divine Bravery. But seeing that the Marquis of Divine Bravery has been in there for so long, Your Majesty must hold him in high esteem."

Chen Xian asked: "Where does the Second Prince live?"

"The Second Prince does not live in the Imperial Palace. He lives in Prince Yun's Mansion. Marquis Shenyong will know if he leaves the Imperial Palace and asks around."

Chen Xian nodded and strode away.

He did not go to find the Ninth Prince Ning Chen, but went straight out of the palace, asked some questions, and then came to the outside of Prince Yun's Mansion.

Prince Yun’s Mansion is heavily guarded.

Chen Xian arrived at the door and stated his identity, and the guard immediately reported.

Soon, the guard trotted out of the palace, "Please come in, Marquis Shenyong."

Chen Xian followed the guard into Prince Yun's Mansion. After walking around a lot, they ended up not heading to the main hall, but to a pond.

The second prince Ning Feng was wearing casual clothes, sitting beside the pond and fishing.

Seeing Chen Xian coming, they smiled at each other from a distance.

"Chen Xian, meet King Yun."

"Yes, I've heard of you. You're the number one genius in the martial arts conference. You're indeed a handsome man." Ning Feng then let go of the fishing rod in his hand, stood up and looked at Chen Xian.

"I have also heard that His Highness Prince Yun is a brave and heroic man who has fought in many battles and has made many achievements. Now that I have seen him, I can see that he is full of vigor and energy and has unparalleled martial arts skills. I am impressed by him."

Chen Xian also chose to say nice things.

"Hahaha……!"

Ning Feng burst into laughter and asked someone to bring a chair over. "Sit down, Marquis Shenyong. Come fishing with me."

"Okay." Chen Xian nodded.

……

Prince Wu's Mansion.

The news of Chen Xian's visit to the second prince, Prince Yun, soon reached the ears of the eldest prince, Prince Wu.

The King of Wu was still lying on the bed, his face very pale.

The princess was feeding medicine to King Wu.

"No more drinking!"

After hearing the news, the King of Wu swept the medicine bowl away with his hand, and the princess stood up and left.

The eldest prince lay on the bed and looked at his confidant: "It's a pity that he didn't die under the Guantian Well."

"Has Sima Yu not returned from the Far North yet?"

"My Lord, no."

"Where's Lin Yan?" "Deputy Director Lin has been staying at home recently, and seems to be practicing."

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, then slowly propped himself up and sat up.

The confidant came forward to support him.

"When Chen Xian came out of Prince Yun's Mansion, he said that the prince had invited me to discuss something."

The confidant was slightly startled and asked, "My Lord, will the Marquis of Divine Bravery come?"

The eldest prince said gloomily: "He will come."

He had targeted Chen Xian, but that was not a big deal. He was the prince of Daning and Chen Xian was a minister of Daning. Even if there was some grudge between them, it could be resolved.

Since Chen Xian did not die under the Guantian Well and is difficult to kill, let's turn the enemy into a friend.

Even if I don't support him in the future, it's enough as long as I don't oppose him.

at the same time.

The eight prefectures all received the news that Chen Xian had come to Kyoto City.

However, the Pang family first received the news when Chen Xian was still on his way to Kyoto City.

"That bastard actually secretly came to Kyoto City in advance." There was a cold flash in Pang Wuling's eyes.

The hatred between his Pang family and Chen Xian is irreconcilable. Even if Chen Xian successfully cultivates the Nine-Transformation Yang God and repairs his soul body to reach the realm of supernatural powers, what good will it be?

There are still powerful Martial Emperors in the world.

There is always someone who can kill Chen Xian, as long as the conditions are high enough.

……

Shen Shi.

Chen Xian left Prince Yun's Mansion.

I fished with the Second Prince, Prince Yun, for two hours, but the conversation was only superficial and there was no in-depth communication.

He felt that the second prince was both civil and military, and that he was able to keep a low profile and hide his edge. In comparison, he was much stronger than the eldest prince.

It’s no wonder that His Majesty wants to pass the throne to the second prince.

Considering all aspects, the second prince is indeed suitable to inherit the throne.

After leaving the palace, Chen Xian had no plan to leave Kyoto City.

This time, he also wants to capture another person, Lu Dahai.

Lu Dahai has reached the Tiangang realm. There are not many Tiangang realm masters in this world, only about a thousand or so.

As long as Lu Dahai hides within Jingzhou, he will definitely be found.

A luxurious carriage quickly stopped in front of Chen Xian. A man in armor, with the cultivation level of Tiangang Realm, quickly got out of the car and saluted Chen Xian respectfully.

"King Wu?"

Chen Xian frowned slightly and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to get on the carriage.

Soon, the carriage stopped outside Prince Wu's palace.

Led by the armored man, Chen Xian went straight to the King of Wu's resting palace.

When I walked into the palace, the King of Wu had already put on his clothes and was sitting on the seat of honor, his face pale and bloodless.

"Marquis Shenyong, please take a seat... cough cough..." Ning Quan wanted to stand up, but he couldn't help coughing heavily and ultimately failed to stand up.

"Your Highness Prince Wu, there is no need to stand up." Chen Xian glanced at Ning Quan indifferently.

"Come here, top-grade dragon bird." Ning Quan shouted.

Soon, a maid brought a jade teapot and teacups and placed them in front of Chen Xian.

Chen Xian took a look and said, "Your Highness, King Wu, I have important things to do. I am not in the mood to sit here and drink tea. If you have any instructions, you can tell me directly."

"Lord Chen, I invite you to come here. First, I congratulate you on your great accomplishments. Second, there was some rift because of the incident with Prince Feng. I targeted Lord Chen twice, and today I want to resolve this cause and effect."

Chen Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, Prince Wu, you are the prince and I am a court official. It is normal for us to have some misunderstandings. I have never taken it to heart. This time I came to Kyoto City, in addition to being summoned by His Majesty, I do have important matters to attend to."

"If His Highness invited you just for such a small matter, there is no need for that."

Having said that, Chen Xian stood up.

"Lord Chen, wait a moment!" The King of Wu propped himself up, and the maids on both sides hurriedly helped him up.

Ning Quan walked up to Chen Xian, took out a brocade box from the storage bag, opened it, and found a golden pill inside.

"Your Highness, what's this?" Chen Xian frowned.

"This is a small gift from the king. Please accept it, Lord Chen." The King of Wu said with a smile.

Chen Xian didn't answer. "This pill is of heavenly quality and too valuable. Your Majesty has already rewarded me with many valuable items to wrap the pill. I cannot accept your pill. Your Majesty should keep it. I will take my leave."

After saying that, Chen Xian left without looking back.

Ning Quan stood there trembling, watching Chen Xian disappear. His face became paler and uglier.

"You bastard, you don't know how to appreciate courtesy!" Ning Quan cursed coldly in his heart.

He had already condescended to invite Chen Xian, served him good tea, and offered him top-grade elixirs, but he actually didn't give him face at all.

……

Leave the Prince of Wu's Palace.

Chen Xian went straight to the posthouse outside the Demon Suppression Headquarters. After revealing his identity, the person in charge of the posthouse immediately arranged accommodation for Chen Xian.

That night, Chen Xian wandered around the city of Kyoto.

Looking for the figure of Tiangang Realm in the streets and alleys.

Two days later.

Wang Yan, Peng Dazhuang and others came to Kyoto City to contact Chen Xian.

Chen Xian went directly to the Demon Suppression Headquarters to pay a visit to the Sword Saint Xu Wangqin. Xu Wangqin was in seclusion practicing, and when he heard that it was Chen Xian who was visiting, he went to meet him anyway.

Chen Xian got the search warrant from Xu Wangqin.

In the post house.

Chen Xian looked at Wang Yan and the thirteen and said, "Wang Yan, take the search warrant and lead them to search for Lu Dahai in the city."

"What about you, sir?"

Chen Xian said: "I have other things to do, so I'll leave Kyoto City first."

"Okay!" Wang Yan nodded, and quickly left the inn with Peng Dazhuang and others and began searching the streets.

Chen Xian left Kyoto City quietly.

He appeared outside Kyoto, in a valley, looking for a secluded place to hide, then opened his spiritual eyes and covered the outskirts of Kyoto.

When he reached the realm of supernatural powers, his spiritual eyes could see within a range of three thousand miles, and his perception was ten thousand miles away.

The entire city of Kyoto is within his reach.

at this time.

An ordinary courtyard in the northern part of Kyoto.

A man in black, who looked to be in his forties, with a stubble on his face, and eyes flashing with a sharp knife-like light, was Lu Dahai.

"Who?"

Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate, Lu Dahai appeared at the door in a flash, with a long knife in his hand.

"Dad, it's me."

The voice of Lu Dahai's son Lu Peng came from outside.

Lu Dahai then breathed a sigh of relief and opened the gate. A man who looked to be in his early thirties walked in. He was in the Yudan realm.

"Dad, let's talk inside." Lu Peng glanced at Lu Dahai and walked hurriedly into the house.

Lu Dahai scanned the room with his eyes, and after confirming that no one was following his son, he hurried into the main hall. (End of this chapter)
