Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 865 - 368: Stirring Wind and Rain with a Lifted Spear, Beauty Like Jade, Spear Like a Dragon (Part 3)

The gaze beneath her face mask swept coldly around, and Wei Lan's expression changed slightly: "Your Highness, Luo Ning clearly stationed three thousand men here, and just sent you a message, why hasn't he come out to meet you?"

"You all leave first."

With an expressionless face, Xing Lan grasped the hilt of the Qin King Sword, bestowed by her father when she was conferred the title.

"But..."

Just as Wei Lan was about to speak, a 'stone' suddenly flew from halfway up the ridge, and she instinctively cried out: "Your Highness, be careful!"

"Don't panic!"

Xing Lan shouted coldly, watching the 'stone' roll to the ground.

Luo Ning's glaring head.

Rustle--

Amidst the rain, countless leaves suddenly rose, not falling to the ground through the heavy rain, but drifting like boats on the waves.

Though it was just after the spring equinox, how could there be green leaves in Dragon Valley Ridge at this time?

Xing Lan drew the Qin King Sword as a chill surged in her eyes. She thrust it out, piercing one of the falling leaves.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground around the warhorses collapsed, with countless mud and stones splashing out, and the ground began to sink rapidly.

"Neigh--"

In the sounds of startled horses, the somewhat panicked voice of Wei Lan and others echoed.

"Stay steady, don't panic!"

Xing Lan shouted lowly, one hand gripping the reins. She looked at the black-robed figure appearing on the mountain valley ahead, Vigorous Force enveloping the entire Qin King Sword. She swung it horizontally, Sword Qi interwoven.

"The strength of Lord Qin is truly unfathomable, not just as simple as the last of the Eighteen Martial Saints!"

As the voice fell, a black-robed figure descended with a palm strike, and Xing Lan stepped on the stirrups, leaping up and sending the attacker back.

In her peripheral vision, several black-robed figures flitted like ghosts, and in the rain, the splattering blood mingled with screams one after another.

The startled horses ran in all directions, leaving fifty corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.

"Your Highness, quickly leave..." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Thud!

Spiritual Energy pierced through Wei Lan's heart. Xing Lan landed on a stone pillar in the sunken mountain ground, expressionlessly looking at the eight figures outside the ravine.

Each possessed the cultivation of Martial Saints.

She recognized two among them.

One was her brother, and the other her sister, and behind them, holding a long spear and riding a war horse, was Song Zhong.

As for the others...

"Jiuli Dynasty, Shenmiao Dynasty..." Xing Lan swung the Qin King Sword in her hand: "Dongfang Xingbai, Dongfang Xingshu, one serves as a foreign envoy in Jiuli Dynasty, and the other is a hostage in Shenmiao Dynasty, you've both returned, also wanting to contend for that Supreme position?"

"She is your sister, but I am not."

Dongfang Xingbai removed the hat from his head, his eyes showing a peculiar gold color: "As for who I am...you just need to know I am an envoy sent by the great God, surname Bai."

Xing Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, the previous insights from the Buddhist Sect, and the knowledge gained after conquering Southwest several times, made her aware of many things.

She had heard a bit about the Upper Realm.

Because one of the Three Great Martial Gods, 'Emperor Kong', was from the Upper Realm, so the Dongfang Xingbai before her...was an Upper Realm person.

Was it the Possessor widely rumored outside the border?

"Bold Dongfang Xinglan!" Dongfang Xingshu reprimanded at this moment: "Seeing the Divine Envoy, why do you not kneel?"

Xing Lan would not kneel, but she would not expose the truth she knew many things either. She coldly snorted: "The God protects the Dynasty, when have they ever harmed the governed people?"

"You..."

"Hey--" Dongfang Xingbai raised his right hand: "Lord Qin cherishes his people like his own children, truly living up to the name. This envoy will spare you from the sin of not kneeling this time."

"So?" Xing Lan calmly looked at Dongfang Xingbai: "Traveling all this way from Jiuli Dynasty, what's the purpose?"

Dongfang Xingbai smiled slightly: "To bestow you with an opportunity."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Dongfang Xingbai snapped his fingers, and the stone pillar beneath Xing Lan's feet suddenly collapsed, yet Xing Lan stood in mid-air at the same place, only slight ripples appeared beneath her feet.

"As expected of the Qin King who swiftly unified the Southwest Nineteen States, such courage!"

Dongfang Xingbai laughed heartily while clapping his hands, Xing Lan looked around with an expressionless face, aware that although the scene in her view hadn't changed, she was now in an Illusion Realm.

This realm wasn't one formed by Primordial Qi of the Jiuli Dynasty, but a method of the Shenmiao Dynasty.

Having once led troops against the Shenmiao Dynasty, she had witnessed the unfathomable military formations of Shenmiao Dynasty.

So, is this why Dongfang Xingshu was brought back?

"Speak quickly!" Xing Lan looked at Dongfang Xingbai expressionlessly.

Dongfang Xingbai smiled and said: "Are you aware of the Dragon Vein...the True Dragon Vein?"

Xing Lan said indifferently: "Dragon? Have you read too many mythological stories?"

"Not so." Dongfang Xingtu shook his head: "Your Dongfang Clan, every one of the thirty million Royal Family members bears Dragon Qi, passed down through generations, supporting the nation's fortune for 4,449 years. Aren't you curious as to why?"

Xing Lan pondered: "A blessing from the Martial God?"

"Correct." Dongfang Xingbai snapped his fingers: "And now, our existence aims to merge the Dragon Qi into one!

So, we entrust this great mission to you."

"How to merge?"

"Kill, and you can seize!"

Listening to Dongfang Xingbai's voice, Xing Lan understood that her previous guesses after gaining knowledge outside the border were not wrong.

The previously Six Great Dynasties, now Three Great Dynasties, are like Gu, and the Royal Family members within the current Three Great Dynasties are also like Gu.

Only the last one standing could become the Gu King favored by those who presume themselves as Gods.
