Chapter 607: Lake of No Harm

t the size of a fist. 。Compared to the giant tortoise's massive size, this small damage is nothing at all. 。Yan Tie Lin's ochre-colored spear also bloomed with a terrifyingly long spear light, aiming...On the pristine lake surface, a small boat drifts gently. At its bow stands an elderly man with white hair and slightly stooped shoulders. He wears a wide-brimmed hat on his back, and his sleeves are rolled up, revealing arms that are surprisingly strong for his age. With slow, measured strokes, he rows the boat, which moves forward in an astonishingly smooth and calm manner.

At the stern of the ship, a young girl in a black silk dress stood. Her skin was as smooth as porcelain, her waist like a willow branch, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful. However, her brow was slightly furrowed, as if she were troubled by something. 。He sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, his eyes staring blankly at the surface of the lake. 。"Miss, it's cool at the bow of the ship, why don't you go inside and rest" 。At this time, a middle-aged woman in a purple dress walked out from inside, took a cloak and draped it over the girl's shoulders, advising her. 。The young girl was also a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, so she wouldn't be affected by common colds. However, this Wushang Lake would periodically release a terrifyingly cold air. Even Golden Core cultivators who entered the lake bottom would find it unbearable. Although they were currently on the surface of the lake, the young girl, being a Qi Refining cultivator, had stayed at the bow for too long and was starting to feel some effects. 。"I wonder how Father and Mother are doing now. Are they well" 。 。"The King, after all, is Your Majesty's own flesh and blood. Though he has been punished for a time, it doesn't mean he will lose his life. He has only lost his freedom temporarily. Perhaps after some time, Your Majesty will remember the old feelings and pardon the King." 。The King was known for his kindness and benevolence. He would certainly not have an evil ending. 。 。"Now the only thing the Prince can't let go of is the Princess. Miss, you should take care of yourself and strive to break through to the Golden Core Stage as soon as possible, so that you may help the Prince out of this predicament." 。“Well, Aunt Xu, I understand. When I arrive at Yueyin Mountain Villa, I will devote myself to cultivation and strive to break through my current realm as soon as possible.” 。"The young girl Xiang Lian'er nodded seriously and said, " 。

The woman in purple, Xu Wan, sighed softly in her heart. Although she advised Xiang Xinyi on the surface, she herself didn't know if there was truly a king or pardon for her to return to the imperial city one day. The imperial city's several princes were vying for power, each scheming against the others for the throne. The prince had died young, and the second son, King Wuyin Xiang Qiong, was favored by the emperor and seemed destined for the position of crown prince. However, he was framed by several other princes and suffered a mishap during his cultivation, leading to blindness. He was then imprisoned by the aging emperor.

Even if he were released, Xiang Qiong, who was blind, had lost the possibility of inheriting the throne. 。Since the founding of the nation, no one with a disability has ever inherited the throne. 。Xiang Qiong's power was uprooted almost overnight. To prevent his only daughter, Xiang Lian'er, from being persecuted, Xiang Qiong arranged for him and Tiebi Yuan Gang, the old man who rowed the boat, to take Xiang Xinyi far away from the imperial city and to Wusang City, a city on the border of Dazi, Tianwu, and San Guo. 。Xiang Qiong was kind and generous, widely spreading kindness. He also had a group of elderly loyalists. However, Xiang Lian'er's status was exceptionally noble, and she also had the possibility of inheriting the position of emperor. 。I'm afraid those few princes in the court may not be reassured. 。He hasn't been found yet, I guess they haven't figured out his whereabouts. Although he and Yuan Gang are both Jindan cultivators, they are only at the mid-Jindan stage. Once several princes send assassins, Xu Wan doesn't have any confidence that she can hold them off for long. 。I've only heard that Wusheng City is located at the border of several countries, and the order there is still relatively good. 。"I can only hope things will be peaceful from now on," Xu Wan sighed inwardly. 。Suddenly, Xu Wan felt Yuan Gang's rowing speed seemed to change slightly. She immediately became alert and looked forward. 。Only a larger ship was seen speeding across the water, its hull breaking through the surface. 。The man at the head was a white-haired old man, but his face looked like an ordinary middle-aged person. He stood with his hands by his side. 。“I am Fu Mingyuan, I have come here especially to welcome the young master!” The handsome man stood at the bow of the ship, bowing deeply from afar across dozens of feet to Xiang Lian'er. 。"Welcome, young master!" Dozens of other black-clad cultivators on the ship knelt down on deck with one knee, their voices unison. 。“Whoa...” At this time, Lu Xia Tian originally planned to wait for these people to pass by before surfacing. However, the deterioration of his injuries was beyond his expectations. Moreover, in order to avoid the invasion of Shui Ting Han's cold air, Lu Xia Tian could no longer hold back and emerged between the two boats. 。Pffft, a mouthful of blood stained the water crimson. 。

Those who had resided in Wushang City for a long time, such as Fu Mingyuan, suddenly changed color. It was late autumn, and the cold air over Lake Wushang was at its peak. Even Jindan cultivators usually avoided going into the lake during this time. Yet, a silver-haired cultivator suddenly appeared out of nowhere, though he seemed to be in poor condition.

Xu Wan and Yuan Gang saw Lu Xia Tian, but their faces were full of apprehension. They silently protected Xiang Lian'er in the middle. 。“This man looks injured, let him come aboard.” 。Seeing Lu Xia Tian's pale face, his body trembling slightly from the cold, Xiang Lian'er felt a pang of sympathy and said, 。"Miss, our situation is special right now. This person's background is unknown. It's better to avoid trouble and let them fend for themselves." 。Xu Wan whispered, "...." 。

Lu Xia Tian took a deep breath, originally thinking that when he reached the water surface, he could fly away with his sword. However, the speed at which his injuries worsened was beyond his expectations. The double assault of the ethereal sword qi and cold air inside his body left him struggling to cope. Under such severe injuries, he was even temporarily unable to fly using his weapon.

As for the healing from ice, he has already used it. It can only repair existing injuries within his body, but it cannot further prevent the damage caused by the ethereal sword qi. 。 。Of course, that's a different story if these people have malicious intentions. 。"Still, it's better to try and save him. He's a human life after all." 。"Xiang Lian'er let out a soft sigh. Although she wasn't one to be easily swayed, her family had fallen on hard times and she was experiencing great upheaval. Many of the people who used to work in the palace were executed, leaving her feeling deeply despondent. Seeing Lu Xia tian's current state, she found it easier than usual to soften her heart." 。"Young Master, the fellow Daoist just now spoke well. In a place like Wushang City, which is situated between the Three Kingdoms, there are too many desperados and displaced people. Even if Young Master wanted to help, it might not be possible." 。This person seems rather suspicious. Saving him might still be a detriment. 。"Fu Mingyuan smiled and said," 。"As for how to proceed, Miss will make her own decision. There is no need for Daoist Friend to offer advice on the matter." 。"Xu Wan originally disagreed with saving Lu Xiaoteng, but this Ming Yuan was just a steward of Yueyin Mountain Villa. His tone actually had the air of speaking on behalf of Xiang Lian'er and trying to surpass Miss Xu. This aura must be suppressed as soon as possible, otherwise, even if Xiang Lian'er arrived at Yueyin Mountain Villa later, she would probably be under this person's control everywhere." 。Regardless of what schemes and betrayals may follow, this person still needs to be addressed. At this point in time, everyone must show their stance. In contrast, the original decision of whether or not to save Lu Xiaodai was insignificant, but now its meaning has become completely different. 。er Lu Xia Tian's entrustment, Su Qing was a ghost cultivator, so she would naturally be safe inside.Two days later, Luo Qian returned to Lingxiao Palace with Lu Xiaoteng, his face sullen."Lu Shixiong,...
