Chapter 155 - 155: 38: The Meeting of a Princess and a

Yu Qinghan stood on a high platform. Through the shadowy groves, she could see the fair on the main street outside the courtyard.

At this time, the market was bustling and lively. It was as if she saw the familiar figure in Huai’s pawnshop, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

She didn’t know why.

A sense of resonance arose in Yu Qinghan’s heart.

She looked at her exquisite dress.

In an instant, she seemed lost in thought, her mind filled with reminiscences.

Stunned for a moment, she suddenly remembered.

This dress seemed to have been bought for her by him.

After one last look at the blue sky, Yu Qinghan, with her back to Pei Ming and the monks Cang Long and Fu Hu, squinted her eyes and said:

“I regret that I can’t obey.”

Her distinct aura and cold demeanor intimidated the crowd below the platform.

The Raven Sub-Bureau in Jinzhou.

In the courtyard of the mansion, Yin Nanyu came to a spacious ancestral hall. In the center of the hall was a gilded bronze statue with a raven’s head and a human body.

She bowed to the huge statue, then took out the ceramic Crow Immortal figurine from behind the statue.

She raised a hand, and with a strong squeeze, a drop of crystal-clear blood slid down her fingertip.

It landed on the statue.

The next moment, a dim light flickered in the statue’s eyes, making it seem alive.

“Respected Saintess, it’s a relief that you’re safe.”

A raven cultist dressed in a black cloak bowed at the doorway, expressing his respect.

Upon hearing that the raven’s headquarter in the capital city had been razed by the Imperial Court of the Xia, no news came out for several days, causing panic among sect members everywhere, who feared losing their guidance and future.

They didn’t know what to do.

It wasn’t until they saw a crow rising in the sky, a symbol that the Raven Sect was unharmed, that they felt relieved.

“What news have there been in the places where I wasn’t?”

Yin Nanyu didn’t turn around, merely, she gently stroked the Crow Immortal statue in her hand.

A sect member reported: “While the Saintess was absent, the Imperial Court of the Xia eased its onslaught on our sect, but launched a series of clean-ups against remnants of Yan Country, leading to numerous major events everywhere.”

“Go on.”

Yin Nanyu, her eyes as radiant as gemstones, said calmly.

“Sect members from the Immortal Sect Spiritual Mountains have reported that the large formations within the Spiritual Mountains have been fluctuating frequently, it seems the major Immortal Sects have made their moves.”

“The Limitless Immortal Sect seems to be remaining neutral and has not taken any action. The Eternal Taoist Temple, Exquisite Palace, and even the Little Lingyin Temple have all sent people down the mountain, while the only exception is Medicine Pill Valley where there’s been no movement.”

Yin Nanyu nodded, unsurprised.

She had known about these messages ahead of time.

Only the attitude of the Little Lingyin Temple and Medicine Pill Valley are unknown at this time.

The Little Lingyin Temple was easy to guess. The Xia worshipped Buddha, so they should be the enemy of Yan Country.

The Medicine Pill Valley, a sacred place for pill making, was the Taoist rites of an ancient Medicine Immortal. It had produced many universal treasures and gathered a number of well-known high -grade alchemists. The number of pills produced in a year was countless and incalculable.

Many of the pills in the Immortal Cultivation World were produced by Medicine Pill Valley.

Even though it was one of the Five Immortal Sects, its number of disciples were far less than the others, only a third of their size. With the disciples preferring a wandering lifestyle and the sect rules being more relaxed, the cohesion of the sect is not as high as others.

Add to that the unique attribute of pill refining held by Medicine Pill Valley.

This was a presence that most sects couldn’t offend.

Even the other Immortal Sects didn’t dare to offend Medicine Pill Valley lightly.

Any cultivator would inevitably need to deal with pills.

“What else?” Yin Nanyu asked, her face as calm as still water.

The subordinate continued to report:

“Changning Perfectural Prince Pei Ming of the Xia returned from a journey, closed his doors to visitors, and disappeared without a trace. No news came out, which was highly suspicious. Some people said that he had gone south. Some members of the sect speculated that he was avoiding attention from the current Emperor.”

Hearing this name, Yin Nanyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Changning King Pei Ming was a well-known name.

The only non-royal king of the Xia.

If she hadn’t remembered wrongly, this Pei Ming had a deep relationship with the First Emperor and is the uncle of the current new Emperor.

But with the suspicious nature of the current new Emperor, this prince probably won’t last long.

Yin Nanyu didn’t believe that the battle-hardened prince would sit and wait for his death.

He might be plotting some sort of rebellion behind the scenes.

However, ultimately, he was not of the Yu surname.

This throne would certainly not be secure under him.

He would have to support someone else to achieve it.

As Yin Nanyu thought about this, a person came to mind.

A person who had been forgotten by the world.

She had once led the Xia’s Army to conquer more than half of the territories of the Yan Dynasty. From south to north, she was invincible and was known as the legend of the Xia.

Yet, three years ago, she was forced to resign due to a major change in the Imperial Court.

The infamous Senior General retired, faded into obscurity, and returned to the mountains.

Three years had passed, the world had forgotten there was once such a unique female general, a noble princess.

But Yin Nanyu had not forgotten.

At that time, she had just succeeded to the position of the Saintess, right when the world was in chaos.

The guidance of the Crow Immortal told her.

This woman was born with the Heavenly Mandate, a person she could not afford to provoke.

With her present, the Xia would not fall and would rise as bright as the sun.

Therefore, at that time, the Raven Sect could only lie low and not expose itself.

Yin Nanyu suddenly remembered that there was such a big figure who was not dead yet and was still alive among the people.

Through the eyes of the raven, she could see that the new Emperor would not live long..
