Chapter 652 - Return to the Royal Heavenly Capital
Edited by Ea and NZRose
Duan Yuyang laughed and said, “I just found out today that my husband is so cute.”
Yuan Tianwen, “…You have gone too far. Even if you are now higher than me and stronger than me, but… Anyway, my skills are still better than yours, right?”
Duan Yuyang saw that he was really cute, but he was not willing to tease him. He nodded with a smile and said, “The technique is really good, otherwise, why would I be hovering between life and death every time? Well, I don’t have to compete with you. In any case, it is enough for you and me to be happy.”
Yuan Tianwen, “…”
The world is ending; my wife actually spoke like this in public. What exactly happened to the lost soul and spirit that came back now? However, what made Yuan Tianwen happy for ten years was that his status as the husband was finally saved.
The Yuan members were preparing for the relocation of their entire family. Meanwhile, within the Nine Lands, the return of Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen caused a great uproar in the Nine Lands.
Yan Tianhen knew that his decision to secretly go to the Tomb of Youshan would create a mess, but he never imagined that the orthodox Dao would place such importance on Lin Xuanzhi. Just because Lin Xuanzhi and he were trapped in the Tomb of Youshan and they didn’t know whether he was alive or dead, the orthodox Dao blamed all the crimes on King Ye. They also deliberately claimed that King Ye was ambitious and was creating a conspiracy.
King Ye’s situation in the past two years was not bad, but in comparison, King Zhang’s life in the past two years was much more comfortable. The Purple Emperor went into closed-door cultivation. Even if he didn’t come out for half a decade, with the support of the emperor and the imperial concubine, Yan Zizhang made a comeback and took charge of the Black and White Crow Guards by the Purple Emperor again. It could be said that he was a monstrous force for a while. King Ye was busy looking for his precious son, so he was too lazy to pay attention to these struggles for power.
In the eleventh year after Prince Ye’s return to Nine Lands, the power distribution of the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital finally changed in a way that could affect the whole Nine Lands.
As soon as Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen left the Tomb of Youshan, they rushed to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital. For more than two years, Yan Zhonghua and You Ming were afraid that they would not come out.
In the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ll go to meet Chongyue first, and then I’ll go to King Ye’s residence to find you.”
Yan Tianhen asked, “Senior Yin is now in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital?”
Lin Xuanzhi replied, “I had an agreement with him before I entered the Tomb of Youshan. If I can’t get out, he will wait for me in the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital.”
After a pause, Lin Xuanzhi glanced at the passers-by and said, “If I get stuck in it, the orthodox Dao will not let go of this matter easily, and they’ll look for King Ye and Chongyue’s trouble. They can at least help each other this way.”
Yan Tianhen immediately understood.
It turned out that Lin Xuanzhi had already thought about the follow-up road before entering the Tomb of Youshan, and Reincarnation Palace was so elusive that it would be much safer if they secretly guarded King Ye.
According to the relationship between Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi at this time, naturally there was no need to thank him. Yan Tianhen smiled at him and said, “Dage is really thoughtful, you should report to Chongyue first, and then come to King Ye’s residence to find me. I want to formally introduce you to my father and dad.”
Lin Xuanzhi kissed Yan Tianhen gently on his forehead and smiled. “Okay.”
The two parted ways at the city gate, one to the east and one to the south. Soon their figures disappeared into the crowd.
Reincarnation Palace was established many years ago, and it had its own strongholds in major cities from all walks of life in the Nine Lands. Most of the strongholds were very secretive, with the name of Pill Heart Pavilion, Heaven and Earth Pavilion, or Yin Yang Studio, which was always quite hard to find.
However, Reincarnation Palace’s branch in the capital was very ostentatious, but it was mostly because it was hidden in the city, so few people have found it over the years.
Lin Xuanzhi, as the Palace Master, first told Yin Chongyue about his location, so that the latter was prepared. Only then did he fly to a suburban villa in the southernmost part of Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital.
Most of the suburbs in the south were the courtyards of the royalty and nobles. Because of its beautiful environment, the combination of mountains and rivers, the flowers blooming all year-round, and the excellent feng shui, it had always been a good place for the royal family and nobles to raise their mistresses and hide their beauties.
Lin Xuanzhi entered a waterside pavilion with nine cloisters and flowers everywhere. As soon as he got into the hall, he was surrounded by several pretty and gorgeous young men and women.
These young men and women with different looks were shocked to see Lin Xuanzhi’s appearance. They couldn’t help but wonder about when the master got so good that he could even obtain such a stunning beauty.
“Is this immortal lord a new sister?”
“This immortal lord looks so extraordinary and his temperament is refined, so he is definitely not an ordinary person.”
”…..”
Lin Xuanzhi was surrounded by these warblers, and only asked faintly, “Where is the Moon Envoy?”
As soon as they heard that this peerless beauty was looking for one of their masters here, even calling him “Moon Envoy”, they immediately held themselves back a little. A young man in green said with a smile, “Nine times out of ten, those who come here to find people are looking for the Wind Envoy, but you are the first one to look for the Moon Envoy.”
“What is the relationship between you and the Moon Envoy?”
“This Young Master looks unfamiliar. Where is he from? Is he married?”
“Young Master, what do you think of this little girl?”
….
When Yin Chongyue came out, he saw this scene.
This was very bad. Although Lin Xuanzhi’s temperament was not rigid, it was not so enthusiastic that anyone could make fun of him. These people were not as simple as “the charming courtesans of the golden house.” All of them were subordinates carefully selected and cultivated by Feng Jiuqing, the Wind Envoy.
Feng Jiuqing said some time ago that he should train his subordinates well. After Lin Xuanzhi came back, he would show him the results. If Feng Jiuqing knew that his subordinates had left Lin Xuanzhi with the impression of such frivolous waves, he didn’t know how sad and regretful it would be.
However, Lin Xuanzhi had no intention of revealing his identity, so Yin Chongyue said, “Don’t flirt with just anyone. This Young Master is the guest of our Reincarnation Palace, so show some respect.”
The people of Reincarnation Palace were not afraid as the doll-like people smiled.
“Over the years, it’s not like there are no beauties in our Wishing Lane, but this is the firm time I’ve seen someone as beautiful as this immortal.”
“Yes, our Reincarnation Palace does not stipulate that we can’t spend the night with the guests and become a couple. Moon Envoy can’t be such a bad guy.”
Yin Chongyue gave a tut, thinking that if you know who this is, you wouldn’t dare flirt so boldly. But he smiled and said, “This person already has a Dao companion. You little devils, don’t dream about these things. Go away.”
“Ah, so he was already taken.”
“Well, good-looking men either already have Dao companions, or they cultivate the Dao of Indifference. They really don’t give us any chance to live.”
“Or else they like other men.”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled faintly, and followed Yin Chongyue to the depths of flowers. “What about Feng Jiuqing?”
“The North Land changed a few days ago, saying that the ancestral land of the Longyao family suddenly opened up. They issued an imperial edict, and the dragon totem appeared. Feng Jiuqing couldn’t sit still, and when he saw me sitting here, he took a few people to the North Land to see the excitement.”
Over the years, Lin Xuanzhi lived in the Tomb of Youshan, and knew nothing about the outside world, but he didn’t expect that after coming out, he’d hear such terrible news.
Lin Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “It’s no small matter that the Lonyao Family issued an imperial edict. It should be a sign of heaven.”
Yin Chongyue nodded and said, “Almost all the families are speculating like this, so not only our people, but also other Divine Clans and sects have sent people to the North Land to inquire about the situation. There is news that the Longyao family is going to select a Crown Prince.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “The North Emperor succeeded to the throne only a hundred years ago. Why does he have to determine a Crown Prince so early?”
Yin Chongyue replied, “Who knows? However, the North Emperor’s dragon clan is a sect of its own and stays out of the Nine Lands’ dispute. This time, the Crown Prince will be selected internally, and even outsiders won’t have much influence over it.”
Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Yin Chongyue and said, “Do you think I want to intervene?”
Yin Chongyue looked at Lin Xuanzhi and said calmly, “No, I’m sure you will intervene.”
Lin Xuanzhi said nothing.
Yin Chongyue continued, “Because of your relationship with Hai Kuanglang, he will definitely go back to the North Land to participate in the battle for the Crown Prince, but he has been away from the North Land for decades, and his blood is also not pure. His supporters are even less, and his enemies are very powerful, so his chances of winning are slim. How can you stand idly by when you come from the same sect as him?”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “You’re right. Hai Kuanglang must sit in that position.”
Yin Chongyue realized something and asked, “Because of Ah Hen?”
Lin Xuanzhi raised one hand, and a beautiful white orchid fell onto it. He turned his hand and gently grasped it. Then he released it, and the white orchid turned into a butterfly and flew away.
“Aside from Hai Kuanglang, I don’t trust anyone in the Longyao clan.” Lin Xuanzhi lightly said, “I have a hunch that the Nine Lands will not be stable for a long time.”
Yin Chongyue looked at Lin Xuanzhi with burning eyes. “Well said, it’s actually the same as this Venerable’s thoughts.”
It was a feeling with no evidence and no reason.
It was probably because they’d lived for a long time, and they could naturally sense the evolution of the world and the development of the Dao of Heaven. It was also possible that their cultivation was much higher than that of ordinary people, and their sense of crisis was extraordinary.
People who should have died a long time ago reappeared in the world, and the Tomb of Youshan’s sunken land was filled with mountains overnight. The Longyao clan, who had been hidden for many years, had now reappeared in the public eye. All the coincidences of the Dao of Heaven were inevitable.
Lin Xuanzhi said, “So, you have to place your own talents in those positions.”
Of course, Yin Chongyue couldn’t agree more.
However, compared with these things that have not yet happened, Yin Chongyue was obviously more interested in Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s experiences in the Tomb of Youshan.
“What have you experienced over the years?” Yin Chongyue quickly drew the topic to his favorite one. There was a flickering flame of gossip in his eyes. “I thought Ah Hen would die in the Tomb of Youshan. After many years, you would break through the barrier and start indiscriminately slaughtering, and let the Nine Lands be buried with him. This is the usual storyline ah.”
For Yin Chongyue’s magical and destructive thoughts, Lin Xuanzhi just said lightly, “You think too much, Ah Hen is not as weak as you think. Even without me, he can survive in the Tomb of Youshan.”
Mentioning this, Lin Xuanzhi was a bit proud.
His family’s Ah Hen could make him look at him with new eyes every time.
