Chapter 195 Repaying With Body?
Long Ming realized that since he was going to the Holy Qilin City, his confrontation with Jiang Wanxue would be inevitable.
' Well, We have more than just emotional entanglement though.' Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he chuckled inwardly.
" Yes, Sister Meng, I wish to know about it." Long Ming chuckled. " I mean, Since it's such a big imperial family, I am sure the internal trouble is no less."
" Well said, Little Brother." Meng Zhi laughed lightly. " The Qin Imperial Family is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Out of five princes and two princesses, it was really rowdy in the Holy Qilin City."
" Although they appear harmonious outside, they are nothing more than a bunch of hyenas staring at the throne of the Holy Qilin Empire."
" As for the current emperor, He is no mean an ordinary person. He already reached the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm. But about his exact realm, the opinions are varied." n-/Ovelb1n
" There are no Heavenly Emperor hailed from the Qin Imperial Family, no? Then how can they be so powerful, suppressing other Imperial Lineage in Eastern Province?"
" Well, Although many found it strange too, it can be explained a bit." Mu Qinglian spoke. " For example, the ancestors of Holy Qilin Empire came to the Eastern Province at the right time with the right strength. Repelling the the demonic cultivators, not only they become the hero, they used the chance to grab both land and treasures of the entire Eastern Province."
" Not to mention, they also got Imperial Treasures and techniques, along with other treasures of heaven and earth."
" However, their origin itself is shrouded in mystery." Meng Zhi rubbed her palm as she sighed. " After all, How can a group of people show here out of nowhere, with such great strength? Some people say that the Holy Qilin Empire's earliest ancestors came from the Ring of Thousand Islands."
" Not to mention, the Imperial Weapons they used, it was much stranger to the weapons of the Heavenly Emperors of Rain Dragon Continent."
" Speaking for which, Are all Imperial Weapons are same?" Long Ming suddenly asked.
" Of course not. There are different gradings of Imperial Weapons like Noble grade and Royal grade weapons." Meng Zhi shook her head.
" First was Blessed Imperial Treasures, which are blessed with the aura and power of a Heavenly Emperor. Most of these types of treasures are disposable and the imperial aura fades after long time and usages."
" Second ones are True Imperial Treasures. These treasures are forged by the Heavenly Emperor's Grand Dao. The base materials are also rare treasures of nature carefully forged into various powerful treasures."
" They are far more powerful and long lasting than Blessed Imperial Treasures. Possessing a single one of True Imperial Treasure can make a powerhouse dominate its surroundings."
" The last and the most powerful ones are the Natal Weapons of the Heavenly Emperor. You can say these weapons are basically carried and used by Heavenly Emperors throughout their lives. Not only do they contain the comprehension of their Path and Grand Dao, they also contain the most destructive and miraculous force under the heaven and earth."
" For example, If someone uses the full power of a Natal Treasure of Heavenly Emperor to its full extent, Erasing the Grand Sky City and its surroundings could be done within a breath of time."
Meng Zhi chuckled when she said that. " But of course, to exert that much power, you need to get accepted by the Natal Treasure and carry enough strength to wield it."
" So, How many treasures do we have now?" Ming Yuexin suddenly asked. Meng Zhi's face turned a bit stiff when she heard that.
" We still have a couple of Blessed Imperial Treasures and True Imperial Treasures. However, the Natal Treasures are lost and only a single one of them is in the sect."
" Is that so?" Long Ming rubbed his chin. He guessed that the treasures he brought last time were probably the Blessed treasures. However, it still boosted the strength of Four Seasons Valley nonetheless.
" Anyway, Long Ming, Mu Qinglian, You guys need to be careful." Meng Zhi glanced at both of them. " After what happened in the Azure Sun Secret Realm, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain are like wounded beasts."
" Although the power of their junior generation decreased greatly along with some loss of elders, they would be more vengeful towards us. Not to mention, the Sky Martial Tower definitely won't make this Battle Tournament peaceful for us."
" So? Let them come." Mu Qinglian snorted. " This time, I will let them know that Four Seasons Valley isn't a pushover."
" Indeed. The days of our Four Seasons Valley's humiliation are gone." Ming Yuexin held her sword. " If they dare to pull any dirty tricks, I will slice them apart."
However, Long Ming remained silent as he pondered many things inwardly. Before jumping on the battlefield and confronting the enemy head on, he would rather prefer to assassinate the enemy the night before the battle.
A cowardly way for sure, but Long Ming didn't care as long as it counted as his victory.
' If we analyze, Qin Chen was definitely supported by Sky Martial Tower. However, It's not like the whole Imperial Family supports Sky Martial Tower.' Long Ming thought inwardly.
Not to mention, he remembered the obvious greed of Qin Chen towards the spring branch technique of Four Seasons Valley. The Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art were incomplete before Long Ming found the real version.
However, judging the behavior of Qin Chen, he might have clues regarding the Returning Spring Sword Art's missing piece or know someone who possesses it.
' Therefore, The Sky Martial Tower knows some secret about this technique that Four Seasons Valley doesn't know.' Long Ming arrived at a conclusion. ' I guess the only place I can get more information is the Imperial Palace of Holy Qilin Empire.'
As the day passed, Meng Zhi reminded Long Ming to treat her once again. However, Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian clamored and didn't let them have some private time.
So, Long Ming told them about Meng Zhi's situation.
" Oh my! To think Elder Meng suffered from such injuries." Ming Yuexin felt a bit apologetic when she heard that.
Mu Qinglian was also surprised as she realized Long Ming was probably treating her back then. But since both of them were there, Long Ming used his Fragrant Yin Qi swiftly and refined the dark patch of remaining Evil Moon Yin Qi in Meng Zhi's divine sea.
However, since it was already less than last time, Long Ming felt like he could now employ other techniques.
" Sister Meng, This might hurt you a bit, but please try to endure it." Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes shone as he activated his Azure Flame Royal Body.
Threads of azure flames wrapped around Long Ming's fingers as he injected them into the divine sea of Meng Zhi. The threads of azure flame qi slowly burned the dark patch, making Meng Zhi's face twist with pain.
" It hurts! It hurts so much!" Meng Zhi gritted her teeth, but the pain was evident in her suppressed voice.
" It's alright, Sister Meng. Please endure a bit. If it's successful, you will get cured today." Long Ming completely focused on refining the dark patch as he controlled the azure flame with great precision.
After a while, Meng Zhi's pain lessened as she looked at Long Ming. " You can now back away. I can handle it from now."
" Are you sure?"
Meng Zhi nodded, making Long Ming retract his flame threads and step back. Meng Zhi closed her eyes as she sat cross legged. It was already evening and the moon already come out.
Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed as he looked at Meng Zhi with surprise. He saw that the spring in her body disappeared in an instant as she started to circulate the Evil Moon Yin qi in her body.
After Long Ming refined the dark patch, Meng Zhi used that chance to control the masterless Evil Moon Yin Qi.
' She is also absorbing a lot of lunar qi from the moon. This cultivation technique...This isn't from Four Seasons Valley at all.' Long Ming became interested when he realized that. It looks like Meng Zhi was also hiding her share of secrets.
After some time, Meng Zhi opened her eyes and glanced at Long Ming. Long Ming could feel a mysterious charm in her dark pupils, cold yet alluring. The Evil Moon Yin qi in her body concealed thoroughly as she got up, bowing before Long Ming with cupped fist.
" Little Brother, I shall always remember this favor of yours." Meng Zhi spoke in a sincere voice.
" It's alright, Sister Meng. Helping you is the same as helping the sect. And in the end, it's the same as helping myself." Long Ming smiled. " Besides, Sister Meng is like my own people. How can I not help you?"
" Hehe, But Little Brother, This poor concubine doesn't have much resources in her hands." Meng Zhi sighed.
" I guess I can only repay with my body."
" Big Sister Meng!"
" Elder Meng!
Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian shouted at once, and the flying boat became lively again.
