Chapter 51 The Princess’s Plan [Additional updates for leader Yilu amblowe!]
In terms of pure swordsmanship, there is nothing strange about Jiang Chen defeating Yun Lanzi.
Full-level physical skills, a full-level eight-step mad sword that is similar to sword skills, and a small amount of success that resonates with all things.
He didn't even use the full-level spirit-possessing Yuling and Li Lingzhou's Pure Yang Sword Qi.
Every one of his skills is almost a cheat, enough to fight across levels. Even if he encounters a big boss like Chen Gongxing, Jiang Chen will not be afraid if he only suppresses his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Regarding this sword specifically, he admitted that it had elements of a sneak attack.
From the moment Yun Lanzi slapped the sword energy with his hand, Jiang Chen discovered that he did not destroy the sword shock, nor did he withstand the sword shock, but he relieved the force almost perfectly.
Even though he used the spiritual pressure at the peak of foundation building.
But his spiritual pressure only made up for the fact that he didn't notice the way his sword shook in the first place, or he was too curious and forgot to defend in time.
In other words, his sudden rise in spiritual pressure only made up for the loss in speed caused by underestimating the enemy or being curious.
However, the technique, position and intensity with which he raised his hand to strike at Jian Zhen were all just right, indicating that his physical skills had reached a terrifying level that could resolve the power of resonance.
Even after taking the sword shock, there was no aftershock left on his hand.
Jiang Chen thought to himself that if he hadn't struck Yun Lanzi by surprise with his first strike this time and understood each other, they would probably have fallen into a bitter fight.
After all, his physical skills and Five Elements Soul Control are just basic skills, and there are limits to how far he can reach the top.
Demonic energy can be combined with one's own spiritual power to deliver a critical hit, but it can easily be noticed by others when used in public.
The most bizarre thing is that his slightly successful resonance sword shock, which was enough to surpass Chen Gongxing, was easily resolved by the opponent's increased spiritual pressure.
Maybe Jiang Chen needs to use Li Lingzhou's Pure Yang Sword Qi to defeat him easily.
No matter what, this guy is definitely an ordinary guy!
Especially the way of striking the sword with bare hands does not look like the physical skills that humans should have...
Others may not be able to see it, but Jiang Chen's physical skills have reached the pinnacle and he knows the limits of human physical skills.
At the moment, Jiang Chen didn't think any more, sheathed his sword and stopped the aftershocks floating throughout the hall.
"You lost."
The whole place was silent.
The shock faded instantly, and Yun Lanzi stared at Jiang Chen, smiling calmly, her eyes seemed to contain some kind of excitement:
"As expected of Chen Gongxing's disciple."
After saying that, Yun Lanzi turned and left.
Elder Guo looked gloomy and was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xuande, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, had mastered the highest level of spirit control methods and displayed such superb swordsmanship.
But it's also possible that this is part of Yun Lanzi's plan.
Since he lost, he didn't want to say much. He gave the emperor a brief clasp of fists, waved his sleeves and left.
The emperor supported the eunuch and stood up with difficulty, also wanting to express his approval for Jiang Chen's performance.
Even if this was planned by the princess, it was still hard work to find such a swordsman prodigy.
"There are talented people from generation to generation. I never expected that the Qinglan Sect would have such a genius in swordsmanship!"
Jiang Chen's win over Yun Lanzi was just to stop his losses, and he didn't really want to marry Princess Ping'an. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a violation of human relations?
"Chen Gongxing is Li Yue's work, isn't Your Majesty worried that I am also Li Yue's creation?"
The emperor smiled and said:
"Little Huo Fenguo doesn't have the treasure that Li Yue wants, and the legendary Li Yue doesn't want someone who is walking in the Qi Refining Realm."
Then he ordered:
"Come here, take the consort to Pingxing Palace, reward Pingxing Palace with 10,000 spiritual stones, and choose a good and auspicious day to marry the princess."
Ten thousand spirit stones...
Jiang Chen was a little moved, but he still had no intention of choosing this ending, so he glanced at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled like an aunt who cares about the world.
"If possible, could you not marry the princess and reward me with 100,000 spiritual stones instead?"
Jiang Chen tentatively said.
The emperor's face darkened, showing the might of the dragon.
"Jun Wu Xiyan, do you want to challenge the entire Huo Fen Kingdom?"
Jiang Chen:
"..."
After retreating from the court, Jiang Chen glanced at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother showed her aunt's smile again, which put considerable psychological pressure on him.
Jiang Chen was then taken to Pingxing Palace.
Even though she knew in advance that Jiang Chen had defeated Yun Lanzi in the sword duel, Princess Ping An still couldn't believe it until she saw Jiang Chen arrive at Pingxing Palace.
She looked Jiang Chen up and down, pulled out his sword from its scabbard, and looked at it carefully.
"Did you really beat Yun Lanzi in a sword duel?"
Jiang Chen didn't bother to give in and just showed his cards.
"Didn't you let him lose to me on purpose?"
"Shh..."
Princess Ping An looked shocked, and she was so frightened that she quickly pulled Jiang Chen into her boudoir.
Various complex formations are also arranged here.
Princess Ping An pointed out the window and said in a very low voice:
"Be careful, the walls have ears."
Jiang Chen dispersed his consciousness and did not find that the wall had ears, which showed that no one took the princess seriously.
"At least it's safe for now."
The princess was surprised and said:
"I thought you were sent by the Imperial Grandmother to help me!"
Jiang Chen was stunned.
"What can I do for you?"
The princess didn't hide it either.
"Help me rescue the Shark girl imprisoned by my father!"
Jiang Chen just felt that this woman trusted others too much.
"How did you determine that?"
The princess held his hand tightly.
"Xiaobai and Feifei were very frightened when they saw the beastmaster, but they didn't look at you with fear, and even looked at you with a little admiration."
The Imperial Grandmother has always been pure and self-respecting, and has a majestic appearance in the world, but she trusts you, a strange man, in every possible way.
She has been unwilling to help me in the past because she was worried that I was weak in mind and strength and might be harmed by my father."
Jiang Chen thought about it carefully, no wonder the Queen Mother doted on this unruly princess. It turned out that Princess Ping An was really a silly and sweet girl.
"So you secretly joined forces with the Beast Control Sect?"
Princess Ping An shook her head and sighed.
“It’s a long story.
The mother-in-law was once the pride of the Beast Control Sect. She particularly liked the shark clan, but she was unwilling to control the sharks through the Beast Control Sect. She was not tolerated by the Beast Control Sect, so she was sent to the palace to marry her father.
Who knew that the purpose of marrying the mother and concubine was also to collect and control the shark girls.
At first, my father said that collecting shark girls was to protect them from being sold and enslaved by merchants.
Soon, the father, like a businessman, was tearing up the shark girls to get beads. Later, he even had a more cruel plan... This plan may be related to the search for the dragon bone.
The mother-in-law was unwilling to cooperate and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well... But I always felt that it was the father who killed the mother-in-law.
I think that even if the mother-in-law endures the humiliation and survives, she still has to live for the thousands of shark girls imprisoned by the father."
Thousands of shark girls? Jiang Chen said in shock:
"Aren't there only three hundred shark girls?"
The delicate little face changed from the usual unruly look. Princess Ping An's eyes showed sadness, and she sighed and shook her head.
"For so many years, under my father's continuous oppression, only more than 300 shark girls with excellent physical fitness have survived."
Three thousand have been squeezed out, and only three hundred are left... No wonder even your daughter wants to turn against you.
"What's going on with your marriage to Yun Lanzi?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
The princess said:
"I decided on this marriage when I was still in my mother's womb, and it was my father's idea, not my mother's.
My father's purpose is to let me inherit my mother's beast-controlling skills, or to find him a consort who is a master of beast-controlling.
But later, the father seemed to have deciphered the relics of his mother and concubine, mastered the method of controlling beasts, condensed the shark pill, and formed a fake baby.
Now, the father only has the last step left to find the legendary dragon bone, so that he can really have a baby.
And the key to the plan seems to be the twin shark girls!
In fact, for quite some time, neither my father nor I knew that there was a pair of shark girls in Yushoumen.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that someone from the Yushou Sect found me and invited me to go to the Yushou Sect for inspection, that I got to know Xiaobai and Fei Fei.
Yun Lanzi promised me that he would use Xiaobai and Feifei to rescue more shark girls, so I agreed to the engagement we had made before.
Although I also know that the Yushou Sect does not really want to save the same shark girl, their goal is probably the dragon bone of the father.
But without temporarily cooperating with the Beast Control Sect, it would be impossible to rescue Shark Girl with my cultivation strength.
The plan starts with Xiaobai and Fei Fei successfully refining their Qi.
The first option is to have the imperial guards capture the two shark girls in the desert and then give them to the father. This way, it is less likely to arouse the father's suspicion.
The second choice was to complete the engagement with Yun Lanzi. He said that even without Xiaobai and Feifei, he would have a way to rescue the other Shark girls.
Who knows, something went wrong during the first choice. Xiaobai and Feifei were kidnapped, and the beast-control ban was broken.
At this time, I found out that the person who abducted the shark girl was none other than the imperial grandmother's physician, you.
The reason for breaking off the engagement is to lure you into taking the bait and rescue the shark girl.
Unexpectedly, you delivered it to your door yourself.
Naturally, I thought it was the Imperial Grandmother who came for me.
Imperial Grandmother dotes on me so much that in order to help me rescue Shark Girl, she would even give me her own man..."
When Jiang Chen saw that she was having wild thoughts, he slapped her on the back of the head to make her wake up.
"What are you thinking about? This matter has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. It was my own greed for money that fell into the trap.
As for whether to help you, I have to go back to Anning Palace to discuss with the Queen Mother to make sure there is no danger and the reward will be generous enough.
Only then can I help you."
Subtext: You have to wait until the main plot to help you.

I have been grinding my teeth for eight thousand years, and the phantom yang syndrome has not ended yet. I feel very sleepy every day, my eyes are swollen and blurry, and I feel something is not right.
