Xu Qian took Li Yuanxi back the same way from the cave. He was still afraid, and his spiritual consciousness was also damaged and consumed.
Tang Emperor Li Chenghan's spiritual consciousness was indeed extremely powerful. Xu Qian couldn't say how strong it was, but he estimated that his spiritual consciousness could not withstand a blow from the opponent.
"His spiritual consciousness is really abnormal. He is indeed an old monster who has been cultivating for more than a thousand years." Xu Qian suddenly thought again, "Even if his spiritual consciousness is so strong, he will not be able to break through the Taiqing realm. No, his physical body should not be able to reach it either. Perhaps this is the reason why he cannot break through the Taiqing realm. It is useless to have a strong spiritual consciousness. The body and soul must be integrated, and one is indispensable. God has his own destiny, and the method of seizing the body cannot help people ascend to immortality after all. "
After leaving the palace, there were many blue rats at the entrance of the cave. They picked up the sleeping Li Yuanxi and rushed to Jingxi Villa.
Entering the palace to rescue people went smoothly this time. It was only now that Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, it seemed that he was lucky. For example, he only had to deal with Li Chenghan from the beginning to the end, and the Yuanxiu Palace could not block the entry of spiritual consciousness, etc. In fact, these are not accidental, but inevitable. Good luck comes from Xu Qian's exquisite prediction.
First of all, since he learned about Li Chenghan's use of the body-seizing technique, he believed that he would have many considerations in his actions. For example, he doesn't want others to know about the matter of seizing the body, such as his physical body is weak but his spiritual consciousness is strong, etc. In this way, Li Chenghan can only take action on his own. Maybe one or two powerful people he trusts can help, but the possibility is not high. After all, he will never be willing to tell the second person such a huge secret. Even if it is known to others, Li Chenghan has an old monster character, and he can only kill people and silence them to feel at ease.
Secondly, as a prince, Li Yuanxi, even if he was obsessed with cultivation in the past, it would be difficult for Li Chenghan to cover up his appearance for such a long time. Especially now that he has to be established as a prince, it cannot be done with just an edict. Li Yuanxi himself should be required to make a formality. Perhaps Li Chenghan has the ability to control Li Yuanxi to do this, but the state before that must not be easily revealed to others. , so as long as Li Yuanxi appears and Li Chenghan throws a trap, he can only fight with himself alone.
Third, is Xu Qian’s confidence in his own methods. And this became more and more certain when he discovered that he could only enter the Yuan Xiu Palace in the spirit state. Li Chenghan set up a trap to let Xu Qian's soul enter, trying to kill Xu Qian with his own advantage, and at the same time, it eliminated the possibility of Xu Qian using the items in the storage space, killing two birds with one stone. But he didn't expect that Xu Qian could actually master the magical method of "spreading beans and forming soldiers", and he could still use it in the spirit state. Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or China, combat skills almost all require the physical body. It is common sense that immortal cultivators have basically no means to use in the state of the soul. In addition to "spreading beans to form an army", Xu Qian also had the Lingxu Cave Heaven Technique, which far exceeded Li Chenghan's prediction.
In the end, it was entirely Xu Qian's guess, but this guess was not blind. He learned about Tang emperors from many aspects, including previous Tang emperors, and learned of a rather special situation, that is, after Tang emperors ascended the throne, they rarely left the palace. Of course, the emperor should not leave the palace when there is nothing wrong, even in the dynasties before the Tang Dynasty. However, the number of emperors in the Tang Dynasty leaving the palace was too few. It was so rare that Xu Qian had a book for guests to read in each room of the Jinshan Hotel. , told in the form of palace anecdotes. The book mentions that after the recent five emperors ascended the throne, each of them left the palace less than once, and the current emperor Li Chenghan did not leave the palace even once. In the eyes of outsiders, this is at most an anecdote because these emperors were better able to withstand loneliness or for some other reason. But in Xu Qian's view, it was probably because the emperors did not dare to leave the palace or could not leave the palace!
No matter what the reason was, he could only gamble anyway. If he lost the bet and the emperor came after him, he could only take Li Yuanxi to withdraw from the Tang Dynasty and return to China. Now it seems that he won the bet. Li Chenghan indeed did not chase him out.
"Can you contact Xiao Huan? I want to know how the situation is over there."
One of the blue rats immediately contacted Xiao Huan and sent back a hesitant reply after ten seconds: Xiao Huan did not respond.
No response? Xu Qian was suspicious. What did no response mean?
"Something might have happened to them!"
Xu Qian got the answer he least wanted to hear from Blue Lieshu.
"Go to Prince Chang's Mansion!" Xu Qian made a quick decision.
Originally, he thought that it would be a simple task for Xiao Huan and Han Han to go to Lin Qiaoni. It would be a difficult task for him to break into the palace at night, but he didn't expect that the fork would come from Prince Chang's Mansion.
The royal residence building complex is where the sons of emperors of all dynasties lived. It was once called the Ten Princes' Residence, and was also changed to the Thirteen Princes' Residence. It was changed according to the number of sons of the contemporary Tang emperors. Later, it was changed again and again when the common people found it troublesome, so they just Become the king of the house. Prince Chang's Mansion is the residence of Li Yuanxi and is a mansion in the royal residence complex.
The Wang's Residence is already in a quiet place, and few people pass by it during the day. People generally think that people who are close to these high-rise courtyards are likely to get into trouble. At night, there is not even a ghost.
At this moment, the door of Prince Chang's Mansion was quiet, everything was normal, and it didn't look like there had been any fierce battle at all.
Xu Qian frowned, and the calmer he looked, the more it indicated a huge crisis. Although Xiao Huan and Han Han are not at a very high level, being able to make them disappear so quietly without leaving any trace is definitely not something that ordinary strong people can do.
If he hadn't been injured by Li Chenghan before, he could have used his spiritual sense to find out what was going on and grasp the situation in Prince Chang's Mansion before he was in danger. But his soul was hurt. Although he could use his spiritual consciousness if he really wanted to, it was not a last resort. He didn't want to use his spiritual consciousness at this moment.
Stepping into Prince Chang's Mansion, a cold voice came: "Those who trespass into Prince Chang's Mansion will die!"
A tall hand glowing with golden light suddenly appeared and was about to hold him tightly. Xu Qian was shocked. His instinctive reaction was to leave the place immediately, but he never thought that there was some strange force suppressing him around him. The action turned out to be much slower than normal.
His big hand grabbed Xu Qian, held him in his hand, and then quickly flew to the back garden of Prince Chang's Mansion.
In the back garden, an immortal Taoist priest sat cross-legged on a futon. Next to him stood a short man. On the ground not far away were two monsters, one large and one small. They were Hanhan and Xiaohan. joyous.
Xu Qian was taken to the back garden, and he soon discovered two monsters.
"Who are you?" Xu Qian asked the other party with a solemn expression.
The old Taoist didn't answer at all and closed his eyes. He only saw him gently sweeping the whisk with his hand. Xu Qian felt that the grip of the big hand had increased several times, reaching the limit of his physical resistance.
what to do? If I can't think of a way, I'm afraid I will die here. Not to mention whether it was too ugly to be held to death by a big hand, it was too aggrieved to say that he had just escaped from the hands of Emperor Tang, and now he had to die inexplicably in the hands of an unknown person.
No, I seem to have seen this person somewhere!
"Jinghong... Master Jinghong..." Xu Qian's voice was not loud, but very clear. Xu Qian had seen the shadow of the person in front of him at the auction. It was the certification given by Master Jinghong to the unknown landscape painting.
The old Taoist opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qian doubtfully, "You, a Chinese thief, actually recognize Daoji?" However, he changed the topic and said, "Even if you do, you will die today!"
Xu Qian felt pain all over his body, and he quickly exclaimed: "King Chang! Li Yuanxi! Li Yuanxi and I are good friends!"
The old Taoist acted as if he hadn't heard anything and was determined to take Xu Qian's life.
Just when Xu Qian was shouting that Tiantian should not respond and that the earth and the earth were not working, a strong wind blew by, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuations were mixed with a spear that stabbed Xu Qian's big hand tightly. With a flash of golden light, the big hand disappeared without a trace, and the spear returned to its owner's hand.
"Qianshu!" Xu Qian escaped from death. Looking at Qianshu who had saved him, he wished he could go up and kiss him now.
Qianshu's face is like frost, holding a spear, and her silver hair is dancing with brilliance. She is brave and majestic, like an earthly female goddess of war.
"Who are you?" The old Taoist couldn't sit still and stood up. It wasn't because Qian Shu's appearance was too stunning, but because Qian Shu really made him feel pressured.
"With your little strength, you still try to save people from the phaseless realm?" Qianshu's accusation is not unreasonable. With Xu Qian's current strength, facing the phaseless realm, he has no choice but to escape. If he could use spiritual consciousness to attack, with the blessing of Lingxu Cave Heaven Technique, he might be able to compete with the ordinary phaseless realm, but it would only be a battle, and there would not be much chance of winning. What's more, now that his soul is damaged, fighting for spiritual consciousness with others is self-destruction.
