Chapter 25
Two Taoist Sect Masters Make a Powerful Move!
Ying Changqing replied, "Mr. Gai Nie, you're too kind."
"You are the Empire's chief swordsmanship instructor, responsible for protecting my brother. I should be thanking you."
When Gai Nie heard Ying Changqing reveal his identity, he was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness is joking. Protecting His Majesty is my duty."
"But how could Your Highness, being a member of the Yin-Yang School, know that I've become the Empire's chief swordsmanship instructor?"
Ying Changqing smiled faintly.
He remembered his past life experiences, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian's intelligence network was very powerful.
He can control all the major events in the world through the Black and White Scissors.
This naturally includes the fact that Gai Nie, a disciple of the Guigu School, became the chief swordsmanship instructor.
Ying Changqing didn't want to say more, and Gai Nie didn't ask any more questions either, exchanging a glance with Wei Zhuang.
"Senior brother, the prince that Master values highly is far more capable than we thought!"
Wei Zhuang's voice was very low, only Gai Nie could hear it.
Gai Nie nodded.
The test revealed that Chisongzi was stronger than Xiaoyaozi, making the outcome of the battle quite obvious and the analysis completely correct.
Wei Zhuang stopped speaking and stared intently at Ying Changqing.
At this moment, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi in the distance were already fighting fiercely.
Chisongzi wielded the Snow Clearing Sword and brought the Autumn Water of Ten Thousand Rivers to its fullest potential.
Countless enormous water dragons attacked Xiaoyaozi with immense power.
Miaotai Peak shook violently and could collapse at any moment, shocking everyone around.
Xiaoyaozi used an ordinary longsword to dodge the water dragon's attacks, having no chance to retaliate.
Judging from the situation, Chisongzi completely dominated, while Xiaoyaozi could only passively defend and was bound to lose.
But Yanfei's gaze toward Ying Changqing grew increasingly respectful.
Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, and Fu Nian all looked at Ying Changqing with admiration, because things had turned out exactly as he had predicted, without the slightest error.
Chisongzi's offensive was relentless.
Xiaoyaozi occasionally launched a counterattack, but it was powerless; he spent most of his time dodging and defending.
Although Xiaoyaozi only defended, he was like an impenetrable wall and did not get injured.
He expended very little internal energy and had plenty of physical strength, so it was impossible to determine a winner in a short time.
Chisongzi continued his fierce attacks, but he could not break through Xiaoyaozi's defenses, and he was exhausted due to the depletion of his internal energy.
If you look closely, you can see sweat on his forehead, which is a sign of physical exhaustion.
At the same time, his gaze toward Xiaoyaozi changed from contempt to seriousness.
Chisongzi knew that if the stalemate continued, he would surely be defeated.
He felt pessimistic and could not accept that his fifteen-year undefeated record would end with the new head of the Taoist sect, Xiaoyaozi.
Just as he was preparing to fight with all his might, the sky suddenly changed, and thick yellow clouds covered the sky above Mount Taiyi.
"Look, what's going on in the sky? Why are there so many yellow clouds?"
"I wonder, could it be a strange phenomenon caused by the battle between Master Chisongzi and Sect Leader Xiaoyaozi?"
This sudden sight attracted everyone's attention.
Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi also stopped and cautiously observed the changes.
This gave Chisongzi a chance to catch his breath, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ying Changqing laughed from afar.
He sensed a powerful aura, an aura even more terrifying than that of Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi.
Only the Taoist Tianzong Beimingzi and Zhao Huangchao of Longhu Mountain in Liyang could exude such a terrifying aura throughout the entire Taiyi Mountain.
Bei Mingzi will not interfere in this competition, so the person who comes must be Zhao Huangchao.
"After waiting so long, you've finally appeared, Zhao Huangchao of Liyang!"
Suddenly, a Taoist priest appeared in the sky, stepping on yellow clouds and landing in the Taoist Heavenly Sect camp.
Fu Nian recognized the person who had come.
"Zhao Huangchao of Longhu Mountain in Liyang?"
"The rumors that he would come have come true."
Fu Nian glanced at Ying Changqing, wanting to see how the prince of the Great Qin Empire would react to this ancestor of the Liyang royal family who had openly provoked the Great Qin.
Fu Nian saw excitement and killing intent in Ying Changqing's eyes, which puzzled him.
Zhao Huangchao is extremely powerful and is one of the top experts in Liyang, having reached the half-step Celestial Realm.
Faced with such an opponent, Ying Changqing was not afraid at all; on the contrary, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Ying Changqing is a prince of the Qin Dynasty, so he must have hidden strength.
While Fu Nian was pondering this matter, Ying Changqing had already turned to Yan Fei.
"It's time to act. Prepare for action."
"People will remember the names of Ying Changqing and Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin-Yang School!"
After saying that, Ying Changqing immediately stood up.
Yan Fei, standing beside her, also stood up, her eyes gleaming with an uncontrollable fighting spirit.
Ying Changqing and Yan Fei suddenly stood up and headed straight for Miaotai Peak.
Those watching were puzzled by this situation.
This battle is extremely important because it will determine the orthodox lineage of Taoism for the next five years and who will keep the Snow Clearing Sword left by the patriarch.
But Ying Changqing came on behalf of the Yin-Yang School. He was the deputy leader of the Yin-Yang School and also brought Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School with him.
What does it mean that someone with such a sensitive identity would suddenly stand up and walk towards Miaotai Peak?
"Why did the Prince and Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School suddenly stand up and head towards Miaotai Peak?"
"I don't know, but something big is definitely going to happen!"
Everyone shook their heads; no one could explain it.
No one expected that Ying Changqing would step on the authority of Chisongzi, the leader of the Taoist Heavenly Sect, and Xiaoyaozi, the leader of the Human Sect, to establish the prestige of the Yin-Yang School.
Han Fei, Fu Nian, Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, and the others sitting in the front row exchanged puzzled glances.
"What exactly do you and Consort Yan want to do at Miaotai Peak?"
But the people here are all wise.
They reacted quickly, realizing the situation almost simultaneously, and a flicker of fear immediately crossed their eyes.
The disciples of the Yin-Yang School have always been dissatisfied with the outside world regarding them as a branch of Taoism.
At this moment, Dongjun, the deputy leader of the Yin-Yang School, got up and headed directly to Miaotai Peak.
"The prince intends to interfere in the contest of the Covenant between Heaven and Man, aiming to demonstrate the power of the Yin-Yang School by defeating the Taoist leader!"
Upon considering this possibility, Han Fei and Gai Nie exchanged bewildered glances.
This is tantamount to making a deep enmity with Taoism!
They couldn't believe that Ying Changqing and Yan Fei were going to challenge Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi, both of whom were martial arts masters.
The youngest, Xiaoyaozi, was over fifty years old, while Chisongzi was of the same generation as Xunzi.
Ying Changqing and Yan Fei were both only eighteen years old.
In any case, Han Fei did not believe that they could defeat Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi.
Although Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are incredibly powerful, having reached the level of terrestrial immortals, they are not absolutely certain of victory.
Ying Changqing stood at the foot of Miaotai Peak with his arm around Yan Fei's waist.
He took only one step, and the earth law immediately took effect.
The earth trembled with him.
In the blink of an eye, the two appeared on the summit of Miaotai Peak, several hundred meters away.
Fu Nian, Gai Nie, and Wei Zhuang's pupils all contracted sharply.
"It blends with the light and the dust, its stillness seems to exist."
"This is the highest spiritual principle in Taoist legend—blending with the world!"
Wei Zhuang asked in confusion.
Fu Nian shook his head: "Not entirely."
"To blend in with the world is a secret of Taoism, and it is not something that can be easily seen."
"Ying Changqing is only the deputy leader of the Yin-Yang School, how could he possibly have learned this?"
"While blending into the world can allow one to change their appearance, it can never be done so easily."
"This is an even more powerful divine ability!"
Even Fu Nian, with his profound cultivation, couldn't help but exclaim, "I really want to see just how high Ying Changqing's cultivation level is."
Fu Nian's words prompted Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang to keep a close eye on Ying Changqing, trying to see through his strength.
Even Han Fei, who knew nothing about martial arts, was stunned.
He never expected that Ying Changqing, who was also a prince of Qin, would have such amazing strength!
