King Yi was surprised at first, and then laughed: "You actually closed your mind and isolated all perceptions from the outside world. This can indeed break the 'eye of the sky', but you are blind and deaf, how can you fight with me?"
The Marquis was silent, he waved his arms lightly, and five swords silently surrounded him, with different colors and shining light.
"It is said that the Heart Sword is extremely sharp, but you have actually mastered five of them? You are indeed a peerless master! But what can you do to me if you are deaf and blind?" King Yi said as he struck a palm quickly, using the wind to hunt, making a sound of breaking through the air.
The Marquis moved his body slightly to dodge, and then Yu Wujian sent out a wave of shadow swords like a storm. King Yi intercepted it with the force of his palm. He was very confused: "You shouldn't be able to sense my moves, let alone dodge?" He paused for a moment. After thinking, he nodded in praise: "So you integrated the perception of the five senses into the Heart Sword, and used this to sense the outside world. What a wonderful trick!"
He raised his right hand high, dark clouds surged in the sky, thunder and lightning flashed, and several bolts of lightning gathered in his hand, turning into a blue shining axe. "My thundering axe has not appeared in the world for many years, and I will fight you with all my strength today!"
King Yi wielded his ax and ax to pull out several long bolts of lightning, and the sound of thunder was deafening and majestic. The five swords of the Marquis flew together, drawing a bright rainbow and cutting the lightning into countless sections...
Within the imperial city, the palace lanterns were dim and everything was quiet. A young eunuch bowed and led the way, his footsteps making no sound. Prince Xuan followed closely, and Feng Yuan walked shoulder to shoulder with him. After entering the main hall, the little eunuch bowed and exited.
The lights in the main hall are dim, and the huge pillars give people a sense of danger of falling at any time, which makes people nervous. At this time, a cough came from the inner room, and Feng Yuan hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the ground.
An old man walked out of the inner room. His beard and hair were all white. Although he looked old, he was still in good spirits. When the prince saw his father who had not seen him for a long time, he felt sad and quickly bowed down.
The emperor smiled and helped him up, then waved Feng Yuan to retreat, leaving only the father and son in the palace.
"I heard that my father is in poor health, but you?"
The emperor smiled and said: "It's true that Lian is terminally ill. Ten days ago, the Linghu family came to see him and presented him with a 'Destiny Pill'. Counting the days, my father will no longer be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
Li Xuan burst into tears because he knew what the "Destiny Pill" was. Even if his life was hanging by a thread, he could take it for ten days and be healthy. However, when the time came, he would definitely die.
"General Lian has returned, but I still have something to worry about. I have issued a secret edict to find you in every possible way..."
Li Xuan suddenly interrupted him: "Father, I said it twenty years ago, and now I say it again, I am no longer the prince. What does the so-called country and the country have to do with me?"
"My son is still so stubborn. It seems that you are still worried about what happened twenty years ago?" The emperor sighed: "Don't you want to have power over the world? Do you want to watch the imperial power fall to others?"
"Although my uncle, King Yi, is domineering, he has been regent for many years and the world is at peace. My brother Li Zhi is a good and easy-going person with a world-wide mind. He is also a suitable candidate. Why should my father abandon the near and seek the far away?"
"If King Yi succeeds to the throne, he will eradicate his dissidents and go on a killing spree, and all kings will not be spared. If Li Zhi is more than humble, how can he establish his power? King Yi will definitely be thief-minded and waiting for the opportunity. Therefore, as my father, I hope you will inherit the throne. The throne.”
What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and it was difficult for Li Xuan to refute it for a while. His thoughts turned around and he experienced a different taste. "Xuan'er thanks my father for his love! If I inherit the throne, do you have any conditions?"
The emperor laughed loudly: "Lian said that if King Yi and Li Zhi are far less intelligent than you, by any chance, with you, the country will be as stable as Mount Tai for thousands of years." After saying that, he put away his smile and his expression changed. Seriously, "Lianjiu summoned you because there is indeed something else."
"Twenty years ago, Lian Yuan came into contact with the magic of alchemy. He was very interested in it and has been exploring the art of immortality. The Linghu family has also received many awards for it. However, things are difficult to follow, and the elixir of immortality was not completed in the end."
"My father was about to die, and he was unwilling to accept it. That day, the Linghu family came to see him and said that my son had mastered the art of casting souls and could transfer souls into other people's bodies, thereby making people immortal. Lian was willing to offer him the country in exchange for You forge a soul for the United."
Prince Xuan's face was serious and his expression remained motionless.
The emperor waved his hand, and the door to the secret room in the side hall slowly opened. Immediately, many young men lay naked and motionless.
"My father also tried to use the method taught by Linghu to transfer souls, but he was always rejected and counterattacked. He could not succeed. Instead, his own soul leaked out, and he gradually ran out of energy."
Li Xuan interjected coldly: "It seems that my father practiced this evil skill and injured many innocent lives?"
"They are all untouchables, as insignificant as a piece of grass, not worth mentioning."
Li Xuan said calmly: "I may have disappointed my father. Xuan'er's skills are still weak and he is far from capable of casting a soul for you."
The emperor was not surprised and responded with a smile: "You have a private deal with the Linghu family. My father knows the details of the deal. You don't have to deal with it perfunctorily."
Prince Xuan was at a loss for words. It seemed that his father was well prepared.
"You don't have to worry. After casting the soul, Lianzi will concentrate on cultivation and no longer miss the imperial power. It will not have any influence on you!"
"It turns out that in the eyes of my father, I am no different from ordinary people, and I am also a person who is greedy for imperial power and wealth." Li Xuan smiled bitterly, and then shook his head: "But soul casting is a forbidden technique, which is contrary to reincarnation. If you hurt innocent lives again, it is not allowed by heaven. I'm sorry. It’s hard to obey!”
The emperor sneered: "You said that soul casting is a forbidden art, and you talk to Lian about the laws of reincarnation. Then your deal with Linghu, and what you have done over the years, are you in compliance with the laws of nature and human relations?"
Li Xuan was scolded and was speechless.
The emperor's tone softened: "Lian understands your original intention. There are always some things in life that cannot be forgotten. So you should also understand that being a father is."
Li Xuan sighed: "What my father taught me is that I was greedy for the old love and committed obsession. Dust will return to dust, dust will return to dust. I will sincerely regret and say goodbye to the past. But in the matter of casting souls, indiscriminate killings are committed. I will never obey!"
The emperor looked at him with eyes as bright as lightning: "You really don't obey?"
Li Xuan popped out four words from between his teeth: "I'm sorry, but I obey!"
Long Yan was furious and pointed with his finger: "Treason, you didn't save me at this critical moment of life and death? You are really worse than a beast, I will die with you together!" With a wave of his hand, seven men in black appeared out of thin air and surrounded Prince Xuan. In the center.
These seven people were dressed in green and black, with golden lion masks, and the weapons in their hands were shining with cold light.
"Guizi, this is your last chance!" the emperor angrily yelled.
Li Xuan was unmoved. The seven people advanced step by step, but he took it indifferently. "I, Li Xuan, the Monument Bearer, have never been afraid of anyone! It's just that I heard that the Seven Lion Guards are all well-known and upright people. Don't you feel ashamed to see His Majesty indulge in sorcery and murder innocent people?"
The seven people looked at each other and hesitated. The emperor was furious: "Hurry up and cut this traitor into pieces with the Lianhuan Blade!"
"The Holy One is about to return to the west and will bring people to be buried with him. Do you want to help the evildoers?"
Li Xuanyi was serious in his words, but the seven people were hesitant.
"Rebellion, you traitors and traitors all deserve to die, come on..."
