"Hehe, General Yuwen, you worry too much. If I were truly one of Prince Ping Tian's men, I would have killed you the moment you stepped into the Tianji Pavilion."
"You should know, I have this capability."
Yu Wenxing frowned, still watching Li Wen with great caution.
On Li Wen's side, the information about Yuwen Xing had already been transmitted into his mind by the Heavenly Dao Stele.
Name: Yuwen Xing
Cultivation Level: Early Cauldron Formation Stage
[Affiliation: Northern Flame Dynasty, Emperor's Faction]
[Magic Weapon: Heaven-tier Soul Severing Spear. Earth-tier, Dragon Bone, Sky-Slicing Sword...]
Technique: Nine Dragons' Furious Qi
The current imperial teacher's life is nearing its end, and Emperor Ye Hongtian's faction is weakening. Prince Ye Hongdao, the King of Pingtian, holds sole military power and watches like a tiger eyeing its prey..
After listening to Yu Wenxing's introduction, Li Wen was quite disappointed. After all, he was the Left General of the Northern Yan Dynasty, yet he only had a single Heaven-tier magical treasure. This was indeed rather shabby!
However, behind Yu Wenxing stands the royal family of the current Northern Yan Dynasty. If he can establish this connection, he won't have to worry about his destiny value anymore.
"If Your Excellency truly isn't a retainer of Prince Ping, then may I be allowed to leave?" Yu Wenxing still harbored some doubts.
"Of course, Tianji Pavilion is, after all, a place for doing business."
"And business is all about mutual consent, so naturally, there will be no coercion."
"However, is it really okay for General Yuwen to return like this?"
"The injuries of Imperial Tutor Zhao Wuji, the fifteenth day is the deadline, after the fifteenth day, I fear the emperor will no longer hold real power."
"This..." Yuwen Xing looked troubled.
At this moment, in the sky above Dragon City, a pale blue divine light flashed and disappeared, swiftly plunging into Dragon City at an incredibly terrifying speed.
In the end, right in front of Long Fei, it landed accurately and without error in front of the Tianji Pavilion.
Long Fei had just regained his composure when a sudden surge of powerful spiritual energy startled him once again.
"Immortality! It's a great power of the Immortal Realm!"
Long Fei's body began to tremble as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared before him with reverence, as if he were a deity.
Han Yun, trembling, pointed at Liu Qiankun and said in shock, "City Lord... he, he is the second peak Huading expert who came yesterday."
"What? He just joined the Tianji Pavilion yesterday, and today he has already achieved immortality? Could it be that the one who was undergoing the tribulation at Liangyi Mountain yesterday was him? Is the Tianji Pavilion truly so miraculous?!"
Liu Qiankun paid no attention to the two of them this time. Having broken through to the Longevity Realm and even received the inheritance of the Great Saint of Nanlin, he was now in high spirits.
Since Li Wen could help him achieve immortality, unraveling the secret of the Wind Cave should be an easy task.
"Senior, I'm back!"
As he spoke, Liu Qiankun reached out and pushed open the grand door of the Tianji Pavilion. The moment he stepped inside, he dropped to one knee and performed a grand salute to Li Wen.
"Master!"
Jun Yao exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Qiankun respectfully said, "This time I was able to break through to longevity entirely thanks to your guidance, senior. In the future, Liu Qiankun will surely repay you generously!"
Li Wen waved his hand and said, "No need for thanks. The Tianji Pavilion believes in equivalent exchange. It's just a transaction, Master Liu, no need to take it to heart."
"Master Liu, instead of thinking about how to thank me, you might as well consider your next move."
Liu Qiankun nodded, "I will rely on you for the matters that follow, senior. I will now return to Feiyun Sect to handle this."
He stood up as he spoke and cupped his hands in a gesture towards Li Wen.
"Senior, my inept disciple will need to stay with you for a while longer."
Li Wen nodded, "It's alright."
"Good disciple, I will be back soon."
After speaking, Liu Qiankun retreated and walked out of the Tianji Pavilion, transforming once again into a divine rainbow and swiftly fleeing away.
Yu Wenxing was completely stunned at this moment.
Was that person just now... Liu Qiankun, the master of the Feiyun Sect?
The master of the Tianji Pavilion possesses such divine abilities?!
The Realm of Immortality?
Could it be that one of the two celestial phenomena near Longcheng yesterday was actually caused by Liu Qiankun!
A cauldron for ten thousand, none achieve immortality.
Can this enigmatic master of the Celestial Pavilion truly help people achieve immortality?
And that Longevity Thunder Tribulation was as grand as a Semi-Saint Heavenly Tribulation. Could it also be the handiwork of the Master of the Tianji Pavilion?
Just now, that young girl called Liu Qiankun "Master," clearly indicating she is Liu Qiankun's direct disciple.
Liu Qiankun actually allowed his personal disciple to stay in the Tianji Pavilion and serve as a maid for this young man?
With a mere gesture, he could dissipate the spiritual power of a formidable alchemist.
It further assisted the master of Feiyun Sect in breaking through the realm of longevity.
At this moment, only four words emerged in Yuwen Xing's mind—unfathomable depths!
The master of the Tianji Pavilion might really be able to resolve the current royal dispute in the Northern Flame Dynasty.
"Senior, I was too abrupt just now."
"You were able to help Master Liu break through to the Longevity Realm, so I believe you can also resolve the current predicament of the Northern Flame Dynasty."
"Please, I implore you to lend me a helping hand!"
The corners of Li Wen's mouth immediately curved into a smile. Yuwen Xing, this big fish, had finally taken the bait... "If the senior can heal the injuries of Imperial Teacher Zhao Wuji, I will be eternally grateful!"
Li Wen frowned. How could the people from the imperial city be so ignorant of the rules? Each one of them just wanted to freeload
Clearing her throat softly, Jun Yao, who was already well-versed in this, immediately understood and nodded slightly, saying, "General Yuwen, revealing the secrets of heaven will surely bring divine retribution. The Tianji Pavilion values equivalent exchange."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenxing furrowed his brows and said, "If you have any needs, just instruct Yu Wenxing. No matter if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, I won't even bat an eye."
In Yu Wenxing's view, a senior master like Li Wen had probably long transcended the mundane and had no interest in ordinary items like magical artifacts. The only equivalent exchange he could think of was to stake his own life.
Li Wen rubbed his temples and said, "General, I'll be straightforward."
"Even if the injuries of the Imperial Tutor Zhao Wuji were healed, Zhao Wuji would not have many years left to live. Ultimately, it would not completely resolve the fundamental issues of the Northern Flame Dynasty."
"If you want to resolve this matter completely, you still need to have His Majesty the Emperor come to me personally."
Yu Wenxing had only a little to his name; even if he emptied his pockets, he wouldn't make much. Rather than wasting words on him, it was better to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
As long as Ye Hongtian, the emperor of Beiyan, comes, will he still worry about not being able to earn Heavenly Dao points?
Yu Wenxing's face showed a look of difficulty.
Ten years ago, the Supreme Emperor Ye Tiandao secluded himself for cultivation, seeking to comprehend the mysteries of the sages, and abdicated in favor of the second prince, Ye Hongtian.
However, the eldest prince Ye Hongdao, who had fought for years to bring peace to the Northern Yan Dynasty, was not content. Holding the military power of the realm, he gathered formidable retainers, eyeing his surroundings with ambition.
Over the past ten years, he had secretly clashed with Ye Hongtian's forces multiple times, always gaining the upper hand.
Especially five years ago, after the battle at Flying Dragon Valley, their influence grew rapidly. If it weren't for the fact that the Supreme Emperor Ye Tiandao was in seclusion for cultivation within the imperial city.
I'm afraid Ye Hongdao has already murdered the emperor and usurped the throne.
But if he leaves the imperial city, without the lingering influence of the retired emperor to intimidate others, I'm afraid Ye Hongtian... will face more misfortune than fortune.
"General Yuwen is concerned about His Majesty the Emperor's safety, isn't he?"
"Rest assured, within my Tianji Pavilion, no one can harm the emperor in the slightest."
Yu Wenxing frowned..
The master of the Tianji Pavilion, being able to help the head of the Feiyun Sect break through to immortality, might indeed have the means to resolve the current deadlock of the Northern Yan royal family.
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, letting Ye Hongdao continue to expand his power, it would be better to take a gamble.
The imperial city was only two days' journey from the Tianji Pavilion. If he and Zhao Wuji fought to the death to protect him, even Mo Yuntian wouldn't be able to harm Ye Hongtian in the slightest.
After some consideration, Yu Wenxing nodded and said, "Thank you for the suggestion, senior. I will return to the city and personally invite His Majesty to come."
"Go!"
Li Wen waved his hand.
Yu Wenxing was also a straightforward person. He slowly straightened up, turned, and left the Tianji Pavilion, transforming into a divine light that sped towards the direction of the imperial city.
