Chapter 261: Chapter 222 Cultivation_2
“`
“Silly girl, how can you activate the formation if you dig up and rebuild it? If you open the formation, who would be willing to risk working around the imperial tomb?”
Jiang Cheng wasn’t concerned about the imperial tomb.
She only cared about whether Consort Li was doing well or not.
“And then, what does the incident at the imperial tomb have to do with Liang Wu?”
Consort Li slowly explained, “Prince Han sohow got his hands on so special talismans that could dig holes at an incredibly fast speed. These talismans sohow ended up with the tomb robbers. Using the talisman from behind the mountain, they dug into the imperial tomb in just one night. The speed was too fast, and the patrolling soldiers had no chance to discover it. If it weren’t for soone inspecting the imperial tomb by chance, most of the treasures inside would probably no longer be safe.”
Dig through a mountain in one night?
How is that possible?
In the Cultivation World, there are great cultivators who can move mountains and fill seas. However, such high-level cultivators would not bother with the treasures in the royal mausoleums.
The defenses of the imperial tomb were only there to guard against low-ranking cultivators who might covet the mausoleum.
Jiang Cheng couldn’t understand who could possibly dig into the imperial tomb overnight.
However, these weren’t important. What mattered was that Liang Wu was in trouble.
If Prince Liang Wu fell, the only princes left who could compete with her for the throne would be Prince Liang Hong and Prince Liang Qing.
Prince Liang Hong was a complete imbecile and not a concern.
It was Prince Liang Qing who was taken quite seriously by the Linlan Sect. He was currently a junior at Capital University and had advanced to early Foundation Establishnt with the university’s help.
Jiang Cheng didn’t know why, but it seed as if the obstacles to her ascension were mysteriously falling one after another.
First, it was Prince Liang Chu, then Prince Qi, and now it was Prince Liang Wu’s turn.
“Lately, you should also keep your distance from your imperial brothers, especially Prince Liang Wu.”
The words of Mrs. Mo echoed in Jiang Cheng’s ears again.
Why did the teacher specifically instruct to stay away from them?
Jiang Cheng frowned deeply.
Did Mrs. Mo know so secrets?
Otherwise, why would she suddenly remind so seriously?
Why had Jiang Cheng been singled out several tis by Mrs. Mo?
What exactly set him apart from others?
Jiang Cheng took out a communication talisman, wanting to contact Prince Liang Hong to ask about Jiang Cheng.
But when she activated the talisman, she realized she didn’t have Prince Liang Hong’s contact information.
After thinking it over, Jiang Cheng, unable to suppress her curiosity, decided to go find Prince Liang Hong’s mother, Consort Jin.
However, at the entrance to Consort Jin’s palace, Jiang Cheng hesitated.
“The teacher repeatedly told to stay away from Jiang Cheng and the princes. She wouldn’t harm ; I mustn’t knowingly commit an error.”
Jiang Cheng suppressed her curiosity and turned to head back to her palace.
Just then, a man’s voice called out to her.
“Jiang Cheng? Your timing is perfect, I was just about to visit Consort Li.”
Jiang Cheng turned around, and the person calling her was none other than Prince Liang Hong.
“What do you want with my mother?” Jiang Cheng asked coldly.
Prince Liang Hong said, “These past few days, I have been trying to see our father, but without success. I wanted to ask Consort Li if she knew of any way.”
Jiang Cheng looked at Prince Liang Hong coldly.
Prince Liang Hong added, “There will be a generous reward if the matter is successful.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t care about Prince Liang Hong’s promise of a reward, but she was indeed very curious about Jiang Cheng.
She should have refused Prince Liang Hong’s request, but instead she inexplicably agreed.
Inside Consort Li’s palace, Prince Liang Hong stated his purpose: “Please help see our father.”
Consort Li didn’t refuse outright: “Didn’t Jiang Cheng see him last ti? Why don’t you ask him to help you?”
Recalling his “last” grand declaration, Prince Liang Hong said, “Jiang Cheng isn’t actually my staff. I had him help draw a talisman, and now that he has finished, it wouldn’t be right to trouble him further.”
“A talisman? What kind of talisman?”
Jiang Cheng suddenly beca vigilant.
Liang Wu was brought down by a talisman; now Prince Liang Hong also had a talisman?
Although Prince Liang Hong wasn’t adept at handling affairs, he wasn’t foolish.
The Electro-Purification Talisman was his secret to ascending the throne; if Jiang Cheng saw it, how could he ascend?
“Just an ordinary talisman, Consort Li. Do you have a way to help ?”
Consort Li shook her head: “No, as far as I know, aside from Jiang Cheng, His Majesty hasn’t seen anyone else.”
“Ah, this…”
Prince Liang Hong didn’t know what to say.
Did he have to ask Jiang Cheng to co out of retirent again?
He had sworn that the last ti he asked for Jiang Cheng’s help would indeed be the last.
If he went back on his word now and asked for Jiang Cheng’s help again, where would he, Prince Liang Hong of the Great Liang, his highness the Prince of Chu, place his dignity?
“`
There really is no need.
Just find Jiang Cheng!
Prince Liang Hong thought very clearly.
As the saying goes, “It’s better to rely on others than on oneself.”
If you can trouble soone else, why bother using your own brain?
“You’re preparing to find Jiang Cheng now?” Prince Liang Lu saw through Prince Liang Hong’s mind at a glance.
Prince Liang Hong said indifferently, “Right, since Consort Li can’t do it, I have no choice but to turn to him.”
Prince Liang Lu said coldly, “Always relying on others, even if you ascend to the throne, it will be hard to achieve greatness.”
Prince Liang Hong said as a matter of course, “Whether or not I can achieve greatness, at least I would have ascended the throne. An emperor who hasn’t achieved greatness is still better than a prince who hasn’t, right? If you’re not convinced, go find soone to help you. No one is stopping you.”
“Get out, Wenrui Palace does not welco you.”
“Hey, you should treat your imperial brother better. The only princes left who can still beco emperor are and Prince Liang Qing. If I ascend the throne, even Wenrui Palace will have to listen to .”
Prince Liang Lu didn’t speak, her beautiful eyes glaring at Prince Liang Hong.
Prince Liang Hong was actually afraid of her, because if it really ca to a fight, he would definitely not be able to beat Prince Liang Lu.
“Fine, fine, your imperial brother is leaving.”
Watching Prince Liang Hong’s retreating figure, Prince Liang Lu couldn’t understand why, despite her own hard work, she had to be subordinate to a brother who always relied on others’ help?
Was her effort not enough?
Or was the world just like this?
In the afternoon, Prince Liang Lu arrived at Qingxuan University on ti.
Even without Mrs. Mo watching her, she was very disciplined in ditating to adjust her state.
She must face Lin Yao in full glory and beat her resoundingly!
At three-thirty in the afternoon, Mrs. Mo appeared in the special activities room.
The smooth implentation of the “Princess’ Ascension” plan pleased many high-level cultivators at the Taixu Sect.
Mrs. Mo was no exception.
As long as the plan achieved its intended goal, there was no reason for the Taixu Sect headquarters not to increase investnt in the Liang Kingdom. At that ti, all Taixu Sect cultivators of the Liangguo Subrudder would benefit. This was a joyous matter for all involved.
“Prince Liang Lu, it’s about ti. Let’s go to the trial pavilion,” said Mrs. Mo.
“Alright.”
The two went to the trial pavilion at Qingxuan University, a place specifically built for trials, with many venues designed for combat.
Soon after, Lin Yao and her counselor Yan Yue also appeared in the trial pavilion.
Yan Yue was a cultivator who seed quite gentle and kind, also at the Core Formation cultivation level.
Compared to Yan Yue, Lin Yao, who was following behind her, attracted a lot more attention.
Compared to Wuyue, Lin Yao had grown another half-year older today.
The young girl’s immature body was growing rapidly like budding willow branches.
Not only had she grown a little taller, her waist and hips had begun to take shape, but they were still far from reaching the full bloom of a “naturally enchanting body.”
As a plot leading lady on the sa level as Liu Qing, Lin Yao’s level of beauty naturally needed no further elaboration.
A naturally enchanting body coupled with a pair of captivating eyes made male cultivators of the sa age virtually powerless against her.
However, Lin Yao was even more diligent than Prince Liang Lu. Despite being busy, Prince Liang Lu always chose good-looking clothes, whereas Lin Yao mostly just wore her hair in a simply refreshing ponytail, donned plain conservative clothes, or even the standard uniform of Qingxuan University.
Lin Yao and Prince Liang Lu were old rivals.
Without saying a word, she walked in front of Prince Liang Lu, took out a long sword from her storage bag, and held it steadily with her bare hands.
Compared to Prince Liang Lu’s young and beautiful face, Lin Yao’s features were innocent yet charming, but at this mont, their eyes were completely contrasting.
Prince Liang Lu was stunning with vigilant eyes, even appearing sowhat hesitant.
Lin Yao was innocently seductive but her expression was cold, her eyes containing ruthlessness and a hint of murderous intent.
Below the stage, Mrs. Mo’s expression was serious, while Lin Yao’s counselor Yan Yue still wore a smile.
“Lin Yao has just entered the ninth level of Qi training, suddenly facing Prince Liang Lu who is always in top condition. Aren’t you worried at all?” asked Mrs. Mo.
Yan Yue said with a smile, “I’m not worried.”
Mrs. Mo frowned, “In my opinion, Lin Yao still can’t achieve more than a fifty percent chance of winning, right?”
“Winning or losing doesn’t matter; I wouldn’t be afraid even if our Yao’er lost a hundred tis.”
“I understand Lin Yao is resolute, but a hundred tis is still too much. She could easily lose until her morale collapses, and never be able to recover.”
“It’s not too much. If she wants to be the Sect Leader of Taixu Sect, even losing ten thousand tis wouldn’t be considered much.”
“Wait a second, what did you say she wants to be?”
“The Sect Leader of Taixu Sect,” replied Yan Yue.
Mrs. Mo looked as if she’d seen a ghost.
But Yan Yue didn’t seem to be joking.
“Are you serious?”
Yan Yue sighed softly and said, “I don’t know. But she seems serious about it, no joke.”
