A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 290 Appearance from Multiple Sides

The moment Liu Lingyu uttered the words "this king," the Spirit King opposite him suddenly frowned, his eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"My king?"

He repeated those two words: "Your seat?"

He then raised his hand and pointed at Mo You and Zi Yan, his voice growing even colder.

"Fourth brother, do you really think that just because these two people brought you back to the Spirit Kingdom, you can wrest the throne back from me?"

The King of Spirit's words were like a fire, instantly igniting Liu Lingyu's resentment that had been building up for many years.

He suddenly took a step forward, his face flushed red, and his voice rose sharply, filled with almost hysterical rage.

"Why! Why should you get all the benefits? Why should I be trampled under your feet for the rest of my life!"

His chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and in the end he almost roared.

"I should be the king of the Spirit Kingdom! Everything in the Spirit Kingdom should be mine!"

His frantic shouts echoed over Qianling Mausoleum, making his current appearance appear even more obsessive and insane.

King Ling watched him silently, his eyes growing even colder.

He couldn't understand why the fourth prince would actually defect to the Qin state for the sake of this position.

Wasn't he afraid that as soon as he came to power, he would be devoured by the Qin state, leaving not a trace?

Liu Lingyu was panting heavily, as if he wanted to unleash all the resentment that had been building up in his heart over the years.

Suddenly, he seemed to go mad again, clutching his head and screaming, "It's fake! It's all fake!"

Then, pointing at the Spirit King, she said in a shrill voice, "You're a fake!"

Pointing to his own unfocused gaze, he burst into laughter: "I'm fake too!"

The Spirit King narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, his mind filled with doubts.

What's wrong with this fourth brother? How did he become so insane?

Just then, a strange laugh came from the distant sky: "Haha..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man leaping down from the roof of a distant palace and landing steadily beside Liu Lingyu.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Spirit King's brows furrowed instantly, and he was secretly alarmed: "It's him!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin's Mo You and Zi Yan immediately bowed respectfully to the old man and said, "Greetings, Celestial Master!"

This person was none other than the Heavenly Master Protector of the Qin State, and also the Qin State's recognized number one master of magic.

He was knowledgeable not only in astronomy and geography, but also in yin and yang and the eight trigrams.

It also possesses the extraordinary ability to "know the rise and fall of the past five hundred years and predict the fortunes and misfortunes of the future eight hundred years later."

It is said in the martial arts world that he can predict the general trend of the world with almost perfect accuracy.

The old man stroked his white beard, his gaze sweeping over the two opposing forces.

Finally, the light fell on the Spirit King, a glint of unfathomable brilliance flashing in his eyes.

The old man bowed slightly to the Spirit King and said in a calm voice, "This old Taoist priest, Zhang Xuanji, greets the Spirit King."

King Ling nodded: "Brother, you are too kind. It has been more than ten years since we last met. I never expected to meet you here."

Zhang Xuanji stroked his beard and said slowly, "Not long ago, this old Taoist observed the celestial phenomena at night and calculated that a great change was about to occur in the territory of the Spirit Kingdom."

Unfortunately, before the Spirit King could be informed, the earth dragon rose up in the Spirit Kingdom.

So I thought I'd come and see how the Spirit King is doing.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity to give this old Taoist priest a good workout.

King Ling's eyes darkened slightly; he naturally sensed the sharpness in Zhang Xuanji's tone.

But it wasn't time to turn against him yet, so he had no choice but to accept his words.

"Brother, you are too kind. I wonder if the Ling Kingdom under my rule is up to your standards?"

"It's acceptable." Zhang Xuanji nodded lightly.

But then the tone shifted abruptly, "It's just... a bit too dilapidated."

"You..." The Spirit King's expression changed drastically, but he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Zhang Xuanji, seemingly oblivious to his anger, continued, "If the old Spirit King were still alive back then, the Spirit Kingdom might be a completely different place."

“Well said!” Liu Lingyu suddenly interjected, his eyes glaring fiercely at the Spirit King.

"A fake is still a fake; how can he be worthy of ruling the Spirit Kingdom!"

King Ling glanced at him coldly: "Fourth brother, are you questioning me?"

Just as the two sides were at war with each other.

Zhang Xuanji suddenly looked up at the surrounding high places and said loudly, "Having been hiding in the shadows and watching for so long, haven't you all had enough?"

The words of Zhang Xuanji from the Lingwang Sutra were a wake-up call. His brows furrowed instantly, and his aura suddenly tightened like a string.

It's not that Zhang Xuanji is stronger than the Spirit King.

In reality, all his attention had been focused on his fourth brother.

All their energy was focused on this farcical infighting, causing them to overlook the unusual activity around them.

But Zhang Xuanji would suddenly say something like that.

He had performed a divination for me when he came.

The divination indicates that the hidden figures at Qianling Mausoleum are far more numerous than those currently visible.

Several unidentified forces are lurking in the shadows, silently observing this standoff.

That's why he deliberately made a sound to test the waters, hoping to provoke those hiding in the shadows to come out.

In a flash, the Spirit King understood, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding ruins, withered trees and weeds like a hawk's.

The air seemed to be pulled by an invisible tension, and even the wind seemed to freeze.

The rest of the people looked completely bewildered.

It's unclear why this Zhang Tianshi from the Qin state would shout to an empty space around him.

Only Mo You and Zi Yan's eyes changed slightly, and they quietly tightened their grip on the weapons at their waists.

Before everyone could react, strange laughter rose and fell from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, countless Taoist figures rushed out from where they had been hiding.

They were instantly surrounded.

The moment they emerged, Mo You's eyes darkened, and he uttered in a low voice, "People from the Gu Xuan Dynasty?"

Zi Yan's gaze swept over them, and his expression instantly became more and more solemn: "The Gou Clan, and the Xia Dynasty people have also arrived..."

"Ah."

Mo You stared at the strangely dressed figures in the northwest corner, his voice growing colder, "I didn't expect even people from outside the realm to get involved."

When Zhang Xuanji saw everyone come out, he stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Gouzu Yulianbo, Shanlandi; Gu Xuanchao Fengyeqing, Che Hele..."

Now that you're all here, why hide yourselves like this?

It should be noted that this Maple Leaf Green is the same Great Yuan Realm expert who appeared on the battlefield in Jia County back then.

Xiaoyue almost lost her life at his hands.

Fortunately, Shui'er and Xiao He arrived in time and finally forced them to withdraw their troops by taking the eldest prince of the Gu Xuan Dynasty, Wu Bailie, hostage.

However, in that battle, Wu Bailie was sent flying by Shui'er's final palm strike, resulting in serious injuries.

Despite being a master of the Great Yuan Realm, Feng Yeqing was outmaneuvered by two women at the Integration Realm.

This feeling of unease lingered in his throat for years.

This time, he entered the Spirit Kingdom not only to try his luck at the mausoleum, but also because he had another thought in mind.

He planned to find Shui'er and Xiao He and personally end their lives to vent his anger from back then.

At this moment, Feng Yeqing stood in the crowd, his gaze casually sweeping over the Spirit King and his group.

After all, as a master of the Great Yuan Realm, he was able to remain calm and composed without revealing his true feelings.
