Chapter 72

  The Eighth Prince's residence was just a wall away from the Fourth Beile Mansion. Today, since there were no important matters to attend to, he invited Old Nine and Old Ten over, and the three of them drank wine and chatted in the backyard. As such, they were the first to discover something amiss.

  Three people wanted to say something heartfelt, so they dismissed the surrounding servants and sat down together, admiring the flowers, drinking wine, and chatting. The tenth brother filled the cups of the three men with wine, raised his cup to toast his two elder brothers, just as he saw a light halo slowly rising in the sky opposite him, his eyes widened in surprise, his hand went limp, and the cup fell onto the table, making a loud noise that echoed through the courtyard.

  "God... miracle... ah..."

  The reaction of the tenth brother, was simply stunning to the eighth brother Yunxiang and the ninth brother Yunxian. They had never seen such an old ten before, their curiosity piqued, they looked over, and both were petrified.

  Jiu Ge looked at the increasingly brilliant light in the sky and was so shocked that his mouth was hanging open.

  "Miracle... actually... is... from the Fourth Prince's mansion..." Eighth Prince Yinxiang muttered to himself, "Could it be... that Heaven... favors the Fourth Prince..."

  Kangxi was then in the Xiqin Hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, reviewing memorials, and he too was startled by the commotion outside. He sent Liang Jiugong to investigate, but unexpectedly, the man did not return.

  After waiting for a long time, Liang Jiugong did not come to respond, and the people on duty around him also disappeared one by one. Kangxi was furious, thinking: This group of slaves is so daring today, they all dare to leave their posts? They should be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.

  At the moment of utmost rage, a celestial sound came, and upon hearing it, he walked out of the Qianqing Palace. Kangxi found that all the slaves, maids, and guards had turned into wooden stakes standing there, gazing up at the sky. Kangxi looked over curiously, then another wooden stake appeared on the scene, named "Kangxi".

  Such a scene was performed in Yuqing Palace, Zhigong Wangfu, Chenggong Wangfu, and many other royal families and common people's homes.

  Most people were immersed in the divine phenomenon, but there were still a few who came back to their senses after being shocked and found that after the divine phenomenon was transmitted from where, they still had thoughts to think about: Is the Fourth Prince the next Son of Heaven? Otherwise, why did the divine phenomenon not occur elsewhere, but instead descended upon the Fourth Prince's mansion?

  Yongzheng was somewhat worried: how to deal with the aftermath of this event? This time it's gotten out of hand! It seems that after all, I should make things clear with Emperor Kangxi as soon as possible. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he became secretly vigilant.

  The humanoid Cangmu walked back and forth beside him, getting anxious to the point where if it weren't for Yun Chen holding him back, he would have already rushed into the delivery room to see the baby. As he walked, he muttered to himself: Why can't men enter the delivery room? Why? Why? When Yun Chen sensed something, Cangmu raised his head earlier than Yun Chen, looking out at the courtyard with a serious and vigilant expression.

  In an instant, a black fog floated over, the thick darkness, bloodiness, and rotten ominous aura made Yongzheng frown, his fingers slightly moved, and in an instant, he activated the formation to protect the delivery room. Then he protected himself, rushed towards the black fog, and said to Cangmu: "Cangmu, protect the mansion and the safety of the surrounding people."

  He thought to himself: This person is not good! This aura, should be the evil cultivator! No need to think about it, this must be aimed at his newborn baby! Absolutely want to take him away from his own mansion, best to take him out of the capital city, lest he harm innocent people.

  "Good!"

  Although Cang Yun was often out of tune, he was still quite reliable at critical moments. He nodded solemnly and began to set up a defensive array for the capital city. It was obvious that when cultivators fought, they would cause massive destruction. It seemed that he had to hurry up and go help. Thinking this, his movements became even faster.

  Yin Zan stood quietly on the flying sword, suspended in mid-air, gazing at the increasingly close black fog, where a figure seemed to be emerging, and the powerful pressure emanating from it, indicating that his opponent was stronger than himself.

  Look at that exposed aura, it should be someone who has just advanced to the Golden Core stage. Although I have already reached the peak of the Foundation Building stage, it seems like only one step away, but the gap in between is not ordinary. The situation doesn't look good! Yun Chen shook off the extra thoughts in his mind and took action first.

  Lao Shix mouth was agape, his eyes wide with wonder, he swallowed hard and pointed a trembling finger at the figure in the sky: "Heavens... heavens! Could it be... Fourth Brother?"

  "That's right, that's Fourth Brother! Even if he had turned to dust, Grandfather wouldn't have mistaken him!" It was all because Grandfather had cut off the fur of the dog he raised, and in revenge, he had secretly cut off Grandfather's braid. Yongzheng remembered Fourth Brother's dead face even after death. He rubbed his eyes again and again, not daring to believe that what he saw was real.

  Yin Yun had only one thought swirling in his mind: Fourth Brother standing on a sword flying into the air, Fourth Brother standing on a sword flying into the air, Fourth Brother standing on a sword flying into the air...

  Apart from these three people being relatively close, the others only saw someone flying up, but because of the great distance, they couldn't see clearly who it was.

  A flying sword with a yellow glow emanating from its blade shot out, making a clear and crisp sound, extremely fast towards the figure in the black fog. Unfortunately, as soon as the flying sword came into contact with the black fog, it couldn't penetrate even an inch further. What changed Yinzhan's expression was that he felt the flying sword crumbling inch by inch.

  "Hmph, how bold! A mere junior Foundation Establishment cultivator, instead of fleeing for his life, actually dares to attack the Old Ancestor. Truly, he's courting death!" The Bloodthirsty Old Ancestor's tone was filled with delight. Yes, that eerie tone was full of unmistakable pleasure.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, in an instant, a top-grade flying sword was reduced to scattered fragments, and Yu Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood.

  The flying sword was destroyed, his divine consciousness was recreated, and Yongzheng's face suddenly turned black. Although he already knew that the newcomer was very strong, he didn't expect to be severely injured in just one move, it was simply beyond his expectations.

  In fact, this is also the mistake of Yongzhuan's lack of experience in fighting against enemies. In the Xiu Zhen world, people with a little experience generally don't directly send out their flying swords connected to their divine consciousness when facing someone stronger than themselves. Instead, they would either throw talismans, use array disks, or toss hidden weapons, and the most shameless ones might even use poison. After all, one misstep could lead to the destruction of the sword and harm to oneself. It's better to reserve some strength, so as to have a chance to escape quickly.

  Cang Mu saw this, and his actions became even faster. Otherwise, the consequences would be truly terrifying.

  As soon as the flying sword went out, Yongzheng knew that the consequences might not be very good, but he didn't expect that even blocking it would be impossible. His heart skipped a beat, and today he might have to make a sacrifice! But no matter what, no matter what price he had to pay, he must eliminate this evil cultivator, otherwise his Qing dynasty would lose its foundation, and his wife and children's lives would not be guaranteed!

  The bloodthirsty old ancestor saw the cultivator in front of him with a look that seemed to say "fight to the death" and "swear to protect", and he was truly delighted, feeling a kind of pleasure from the bottom of his heart. The old ancestor said that he really enjoyed this feeling of pushing people to the brink of death and struggling desperately.

  After sensing, apart from the Lin Qianyu who was lying on the 'bed' in a state of exhaustion, there was also a demon cultivator (Cang Miao) next to him, arranging an array. And in the distance, there were several small Qi-refining ants (Lin Ruhai and his family) in a nearby mansion. All of these combined were no match for Lao Zu alone.

  Moreover, on the way here earlier, he had already sent a puppet to deal with that small refining stage family. The other two do not seem to have any fighting power at present, so Old Ancestor happily decided to play with this ant in front of him.

  Yin Zan and the Bloodthirsty Ancestor had been going back and forth for four or five minutes, and his body had already accumulated dozens of large and small wounds. From a distance, he was covered in blood, looking like a bloody man, extremely terrifying to behold.

  Yin Zan also knew that the Bloodthirsty Ancestor hadn't used his full strength, probably just playing with himself. He didn't expect that it was only one level apart, and yet it was like heaven and earth, seeing the Bloodthirsty Ancestor relaxed, with a very playful expression, while he himself was almost at his limit.

  Yinzheng's eyes became blurry, looking in the direction of Lin Qing 'Yu', Yinzheng's face had infinite longing. At this time, he finally understood that he really truly loved Lin Qing 'Yu'. Yes, he loved Lin Qing 'Yu' - New Jiarolo-Yinzheng loved Lin Qing 'Yu', very much!

  Yin Zong fell to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath. The bloodthirsty old ancestor was delighted and decided to deliver the final blow, sending him to meet his maker.

  Just as Yongzheng was about to lose his life, Cangwu finally set up the formation and rushed over, blocking the fatal blow for Yongzheng. Of course, Yongzheng was saved, but at the cost of being seriously injured.

  The original form of the cicada is at least five times stronger than its human form. In an instant, it transformed into its original form without hesitation, and instantly the entire sky was covered. One tail swung towards the Bloodthirsty Ancestor, with a speed so fierce that it sent the unprepared Bloodthirsty Ancestor flying to the outskirts of the capital.

  Cang Hu chased him down and decided to block him at the outskirts of Beijing, not allowing him to enter the city again. Looking at the place where he and Yongzheng had clashed, it was as if a dragon had turned over, a terrible sight. Fortunately, he had moved the people around in time, otherwise there would have been corpses everywhere.

  What if one of us loses control and destroys everything inside, then everyone will be dead, who will cook for me?

  Lin Qingyu used the time difference in space to adjust herself, and after bringing all the children into space, she came out to see that Yongzheng was on his last breath. She quickly brought him into space to nurse his wounds and keep him company with the children. Then, she took out her flying sword and chased after them.

  Lin Jing 'Yu' arrived when Cang Mou was already heavily injured on the ground, with no fighting power left. If he had arrived a little later, perhaps he could have collected his body.

  "Kui kui...... Now the ants, why aren't they afraid of death?" The eerie voice of the Bloodthirsty Old Ancestor sent chills down Lin Qing's spine, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body. "How annoying! It seems we need to settle this quickly!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the momentum of the Bloodthirsty Ancestor Jin Dan period was fully released, and Lin Qing 'Yu' was shocked to the ground by this pressure, with no power to resist.

  Lin Jing 'Yu' originally wanted to enter space and dodge this fatal blow, but for some reason, she couldn't get into space. She didn't know that she was actually locked in place by the Soul-Sealing Banner released by the Bloodthirsty Ancestor, which had led many powerful cultivators in the cultivation world to their demise at his hands.

  As she watched the Soul Reaper Flag getting closer and closer to herself, Lin Qing 'Yu' curled up a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth, never expecting that this would be her ending. Just as she was despairing and waiting for death, a dazzling golden light burst forth from her body.

  The Bloodthirsty Ancestor accelerated the speed of the Soul-Capturing Banner when the golden light burst forth, and just as he was about to capture Lin Qingyu, a sword the size of a palm emerged from Lin Qingyu's body and blocked it.

  "Point... Point Tianjian..." The Bloodthirsty Ancestor was knowledgeable and experienced, and with one glance, he knew that the golden sword that blocked the Soul-Sealing Banner was none other than the Tianjian Sword, one of the top ten divine artifacts capable of beheading demons and evil spirits. He immediately turned around and fled at high speed.

  The sword body the size of a palm, in the blink of an eye turned into a ten-meter-long giant sword, rapidly heading towards the Bloodthirsty Ancestor. A shrill cry echoed, Lin Qing 'Yu' and Cang Mu looked over, only to see the Bloodthirsty Ancestor being pierced through the chest by the Pointing Heaven Sword, slowly turning into small black particles that disappeared into thin air.
