Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1795

Capítulo 1795: Chapter 1796: An Answer

“Your Highness, walk slowly.”

Watching Zhao Shijue leave the mansion, Ye Qingci didn’t make any moves against him or leave any follow-up tricks.

Zhao Shijue, after all, comes from the Royal Family and is a disciple of Master Chang Chun.

Doing anything to him would just be painting legs on a snake.

Seeing Zhao Shijue leave just like that, Su Zi was clearly a bit uneasy and said.

“Saint Envoy Ye, just let him go like that?”

“Otherwise? What else do you want to do?”

Stumped by Ye Qingci’s words, Su Zi lowered her head, not daring to refute what Ye Qingci had said.

Zhuang Yihan, who clearly understood the situation in the Capital City better, spoke up: “The identity of a Prince is indeed his best shield, but it is also the thing that this Prince Jue resents the most in his heart.”

Unlike the former emperor who was just a Martial Artist, the current Heavenly Son, Zhao Xuanzhen, embarked on the path of Enlightenment and Seeking Dao at a very young age.

No one knows which Realm Zhao Xuanzhen has reached now, but with the current national strength of Xia Country, even if Zhao Xuanzhen’s talent were ordinary, it would be enough to forcibly cultivate a Nascent Soul Realm.

And the lifespan of Nascent Soul Cultivators is far higher than those of the same realm Martial Artists…

“It seems that the internal affairs of Xia Country are not that unbreakable.”

Su Zi squinted, and her words clearly carried some different meaning.

Ye Qingci glanced at her and said coldly, “Still considering yourself a part of the Su Clan at this point?”

The words pierced the most painful place in Su Zi’s heart directly. Ye Qingci, seeing her unwilling and aggrieved expression, did not continue and instead said.

“There are indeed some problems within Xia Country, but if no one stirs things up behind the scenes, these hidden problems will not erupt even in several decades or centuries. That Majesty is not completely unaware of these things, but he understands very well that compared to these insignificant internal troubles, the external is critical if Xia Country is to become the most prosperous dynasty in history. The Ancient Clan is like that, and so are the Four major Taoist sects.”

Upon hearing Ye Qingci finally mention the Four major Taoist sects, Zhuang Yihan then followed up with a question.

“So, this time Mount Longhu becoming the leader of the Dao Sect is really His Majesty’s intention?”

“Yes, after taking action against the Ancient Clan, the following step is reorganizing the Four major Taoist sects. You think it’s just a coincidence?”

Zhuang Yihan thought for a while upon hearing this and said, “It’s not a bad thing.”

Ye Qingci did not comment, only continued, “Luckily, ChengYu is not here; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t remain indifferent to Qingcheng.”

“Even Quanzhen and Wudang have compromised. Can anything change for the current Qingcheng Sect even if Su Chengyu returns?”

Zhuang Yihan looked up and retorted.

Ye Qingci lowered her head and said, “At the very least, Qingcheng Sect wouldn’t have ended up in its current situation.”

Zhuang Yihan finally sensed something was amiss and hurriedly asked, “What’s going on with Qingcheng Sect now?”

“After Cang Qing True Master passed away, there were already significant upheavals within Qingcheng, and now under Xia Country’s pressure, nine-tenths of the original Qingcheng disciples, from the Inner Door to the Outer Sect, have left.”

“Nine-tenths?!”

This shocking number surprised Zhuang Yihan as well. He was puzzled and asked, “Even if no longer listed as one of the Four major Taoist sects, Qingcheng Sect’s foundation is there. How could these people leave after finally getting in?”

“What do you think?”

Ye Qingci looked up at Zhuang Yihan.

Zhuang Yihan was stunned for a moment and then completely understood, “Is it the Heaven Punishment Department’s people? An edict from His Majesty?”

Ye Qingci shook her head, “It’s the State Preceptor. Qingcheng, Quanzhen, and Wudang all had many disciples change sects and join Mount Longhu during this calamity, while from Qingcheng Sect, the State Preceptor demanded that they hand over eighty percent of their sect scriptures and literature.”

“Eighty percent?! And Qingcheng Sect agreed to this?”

Su Zi was also shocked by this number and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Eighty percent of sect scriptures—this was essentially cutting off Qingcheng Sect’s heritage completely.

Zhuang Yihan sighed deeply, “Do they have any reason to refuse?”

With Cang Qing True Master gone, Qingcheng Sect doesn’t even have an Earth Immortal to hold the fort. What right do they have to refuse this?

However, Ye Qingci’s next words once again surprised the two.

“Qingcheng indeed did not agree.”

Recalling the image of the young Sect Leader, Chen Mengmeng, Ye Qingci said calmly, “Qingcheng indeed has no Earth Immortal, but the current Sect Leader, Chen Mengmeng, single-handedly activated the entire Mountain Protection Array to safeguard Qingcheng’s orthodoxy.”

“Did that young Sect Leader manage to block the State Preceptor Ji?”

“Blocked, for a day and a night.”

Ye Qingci said with admiration.

As someone of the Earth Immortal Realm, he understood better than the two how significant that day and night was.

Even he wouldn’t dare say that he could hold against Ji Yuguang for a day and a night without losing.

Even with the advantage of being on his own turf, and with the Holy Artifact arranged and sent over by Su Chengyu to supply the array, Ye Qingci couldn’t fathom how Chen Mengmeng withstood that day and night.

“Unfortunately, it seems not to have changed anything.”

Zhuang Yihan spoke regretfully. Although he also admired Qingcheng’s actions, from the outcome, Qingcheng ultimately did not succeed.

“Eighty percent reduced to fifty percent; though it’s still the biggest loss among the Four major Taoist sects, it’s at least preserved the last bit of incense for Qingcheng Sect.”

Ye Qingci sighed softly, evidently feeling sorry for Qingcheng’s plight.

“If Su Chengyu were here, would he truly stand against the entire Xia Country?”

Zhuang Yihan suddenly asked, looking at Ye Qingci.

Ye Qingci hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. In the end, he said.

“I don’t know. I’m not him, and I don’t know what he would choose. But that worst-case scenario, it’s certainly not something he can bear now.”

Completely tearing face with the Xia Country’s authority, back in the day might still be manageable, but now Su Chengyu is already part of the Demon Slayer Department.

Just like how countless eyes are watching this mansion, many people are keeping an eye on his every move.

Should he act in such a manner, he would never even have the chance to be taken away from Xia Country.

“So, where exactly is the Master now?”

Su Zi raised her head to ask Ye Qingci again.

Ye Qingci thought for a moment, shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Then when will he be back?”

Ye Qingci still shook her head without saying anything. Even Su Zhedian couldn’t give a definitive answer, so how could she possibly have one?

Seeing Ye Qingci’s silence, Su Zi stopped asking further, and after a few internal struggles, she finally said.

“So the Master and Su Zhedian…”

“That’s something you should ask him.”

Ye Qingci interrupted Su Zi’s last question and then turned her head to look towards the door.

Zhuang Yihan also sensed something and asked curiously, “A guest?”

“Yes, an unexpected guest. Qian Jinming.”

Ye Qingci indeed didn’t expect her to come, the person responsible for the Qian family stationed in the Capital City.

“Sorry, my teacher is currently in seclusion and not seeing guests.”

Outside, Bai Huang respectfully said to the visitor.

However, the woman who had interacted with Su Chengyu had no intention of leaving and simply said with a smile.

“It’s okay, I’m not here to see him. I’m here to find someone to talk about matters concerning Su Zhedian.”

Within the Yu Clan Cave Heaven.

A middle-aged man carried a Heavy Sword on his shoulder, looking at the people who had fallen below him, unable to stand up, and sneered.

“A massive Yu Clan, and now you don’t even have a single Earth Immortal? If that’s the case, I suppose Yu Clan should be removed from the ranks of the Ancient Clan just like the Luo Clan!”

“Daring Su Zhedian! What are you trying to achieve?”

“I just want an answer.”
