Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 289 Two Golden-Armored Corpses!

Jiang Nianmei's face was deathly pale, and her eyes were vacant as she stared straight ahead.

She has grown much taller than before and looks like a teenage girl.

Jiang Nianxing did the same, but unlike Jiang Nianmei, when Yuanxing turned her back, Jiang Nianxing's dark eyes would unconsciously look at Yuanxing's back.

Watching the princess's entourage depart, Yuanxing finally spoke, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianmei immediately knelt on the ground.

Yuanxing leaped up and climbed onto the girl's back. Jiang Nianmei carried Yuanxing on her back and ran swiftly down the mountain as if walking on flat ground.

Feeling the howling mountain wind, Yuanxing pondered the events of that day.

The blood of the deposed crown prince and Mei Xingyue was something he had gone through a lot of trouble to obtain.

Mei Xingyue's body was abandoned in a mass grave, so obtaining her blood was easy.

As for the deposed crown prince, it was Yuanxing who, after escaping from the palace, returned and sneaked into the palace where he was imprisoned.

The deposed crown prince, having lost his status, was neglected even by his guards, which allowed Yuanxing to succeed in his scheme.

However, he didn't kill the deposed crown prince, as this man would still be useful in the future.

For circularity, obtaining integration is always the top priority.

Once he has dealt with those who blocked his way, the deposed crown prince can still become emperor again!

Lying on Jiang Nianmei's back, Yuanxing muttered to himself, "These two golden-armored corpses are incredibly powerful. When they join forces, they can even unleash the strength of a terrestrial immortal."

"Going to Kongshan Temple will be a great help to me. Those old fogies have regressed to who knows how far their cultivation has fallen over the years."

Jiang Nianxing followed Yuanxing at breakneck speed, but her eyes remained fixed on Yuanxing, filled with resentment.

…………

Following the route pointed out by the young monk Zhu Qi, the princess's entourage traveled for several more days and finally arrived at a mountain wall.

Abao stopped in front of the huge mountain wall, sniffing incessantly with his little nose.

Zhou Wei jumped off the carriage and patted A Bao's head.

"What are you doing?"

"This smells unusual, I can smell it."

Jiang Yueli also came over at this moment and called Zhu Qi over in confusion.

“Little monk, are you pointing the wrong way? It seems there is no way to go here.”

Zhu Qi smiled and said, "Princess, ordinary people cannot enter this blessed land. To outsiders, there is indeed no way in, but it is different for us."

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, he formed a hand seal in the air and struck at the group of people.

Zhou Wei felt her vision clear, and then she saw a path full of flowers appear on the mountain wall in front of her.

Despite the winter sun, spring was in full bloom, and the desolate and decaying state of the world was completely gone!

Abao also barked excitedly, delighted by the rich energy within the blessed land.

Abao nudged Zhou Wei with his head: "Come in, come in! This is a wonderful place. If I had been born here, I probably would have become an immortal long ago!"

Even a panda that's almost become a spirit has this feeling, let alone someone like Jiang Zao who has no cultivation at all.

Jiang Zao took a deep breath, exhaled gently, and felt completely relaxed.

"My God, what a wonderful place this is! Just a couple of breaths and I feel so much more relaxed."

Shen Shuqing glanced at Jiang Zao with disdain, inwardly mocking her as a country bumpkin.

It's just a natural reaction of a mortal encountering the rich energy of a blessed land for the first time; is there anything to be surprised about?

Jiang Zao didn't seem to care about Shen Shuqing's gaze.

Zhou Wei had already told her not to pay too much attention to Shen Shuqing, as that woman wasn't very bright.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Zao asked the little monk, "So entering a blessed land is so troublesome? Then why are there legends of people accidentally entering a fairyland?"

"I've read those storybooks, and there are even tales of people accidentally wandering into blessed lands and marrying the fairies there!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei chuckled and tapped Jiang Zao's head.

"Don't read those storybooks; they're just written by down-on-his-luck scholars to fool young girls!"

"So, the whole story is fake?"

The young monk then said, "It can't be said to be fake. Although it's not easy to find a blessed land, some people do manage to stumble into it by chance. This is probably what people in the secular world call having a predestined connection with the immortals."

Zhou Wei thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Many stories feature people with a connection to the divine.

These people manage to stumble into places that are inaccessible to everyone else, and some even manage to gain benefits from them.

For example, elixirs or a good marriage.

A celestial connection is all about fate; it can't be forced!

Hearing the lively discussion, Jiang Zao even started telling the most popular story circulating in the neighborhood, called "The Adventures in the Cave".

The story goes that a scholar accidentally entered a mountain cave, and after a flash of white light, he found himself in a paradise.

He met a fairy and they lived a life of blissful companionship.

However, a few years later, the scholar missed his parents and wanted to go back to visit them.

Before he left, the fairy instructed him not to tell anyone about her existence, nor to mention this fairyland.

The scholar readily agreed, but after returning home, he couldn't help but boast about it, making it known to everyone!

When he returned to the original cave, wanting to overcome the obstacles and return to the land of immortals, he could no longer get back.

The scholar wept bitterly, feeling that he had broken his promise and angered the fairy, which led to the loss of his chance to become a fairy.

Everyone listened with great interest, but Tan Lin only smiled and remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Wei nudged Tan Lin with her elbow.

"Mr. Tan, what are you laughing at? This story may be clichéd, but it's still quite interesting. What's so funny about it?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tan Lin coughed lightly and said, "Actually, this story is true."

it is true?

Even Zhou Wei was somewhat surprised this time.

She had read the story of the chess player who encountered an immortal, where a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. She thought it was all fiction, but Tan Lin said it was true.

Tan Lin said, "The people in the blessed lands are cultivators, but they are not true immortals. They have emotions and desires, and they also scheme against each other. Cultivators are divided into different levels according to their cultivation."

"Even the least talented cultivator in a blessed land would be considered an immortal in the mortal world."

"Therefore, the fairy in the story of the cave adventure was just an inconspicuous cultivator in the blessed land."

After Tan Lin said that, everyone understood, and Zhou Wei understood even more.

Within the blessed land, even the most insignificant cultivators are subjected to overwhelming power in the mortal world.

Everyone revered her as a fairy. This woman must have been feeling extremely repressed, which is why she kidnapped ordinary people to relieve her boredom.

Unexpectedly, the scholar used this predestined encounter with the immortals as a topic of conversation to boast about.

Just then, the fairy also grew tired of the scholar, so she refused to let him enter the blessed land again on the grounds that he had broken the rules.

When Jiang Zao learned the truth, she immediately felt bored.

"I thought they were a match made in heaven, but I never expected..."

"I didn't expect it to be just some ordinary way to relieve loneliness?" Zhou Wei replied. "Xiao Zhao, that's how things are in this world. There's no need to sigh! In this life, desires come first. Many legendary tales are just a halo over these things."

Jiang Zao nodded blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Wei knew this was the melancholy after the demystification, and gently patted Jiang Zao's shoulder.

"Let's go. The fairy-tale couples in the storybooks are fake, but our journey to this blessed land is real!"

One sentence immediately dispelled Jiang Zao's gloom, and she excitedly followed behind Zhou Wei.

I embarked on that flower-lined avenue unseen by others.
