Chapter 57
Zhao Xuansu, now is the time for a desperate attack!
The three of them immediately ran to Ying Changqing's side.
Ehuang and Nüying held his arm tightly, silently shedding tears.
Even the usually strong-willed Nangong Pushe's eyes reddened.
She thought to herself, "I'm doing very well now. Prince Ying Changqing and Xie Guanyin are completely different."
Ying Changqing looked at the three people who were concerned about him and said, "It's all over, everything's alright!"
Although he was weak, he gently patted their backs to reassure them.
Bei Mingzi stood rooted to the spot, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had previously thought that Ying Changqing would use his internal energy to control the flow of the entire Wei River.
Bei Mingzi worried that the backlash from the Wei River flood control efforts would endanger Ying Changqing's life.
But he underestimated Ying Changqing's abilities.
The suppression can only temporarily control the Wei River.
Ying Changqing actually wanted the entire Wei River to obey his orders.
Bei Mingzi had never considered doing this.
Failure to suppress the Wei River incident could result in serious injury or even death.
The backlash from failing to tame the Wei River would be even more severe, potentially leading to the annihilation of one's soul.
Bei Mingzi was relieved that they had succeeded.
Ying Changqing has controlled the Wei River, and it will not flood or cause disasters within three years.
Bei Mingzi's internal strength was the key to his success; without him, Ying Changqing could not have done it.
Bei Mingzi looked at Ying Changqing's control of the power of law with disbelief and envy.
Even though he reached the eighth level of the Daoist Nirvana Realm, he still couldn't grasp the power of the laws as easily as Ying Changqing.
Only by achieving the Nine Realms of Taoist Ascension can one truly grasp the origin of the laws.
"Is this what a born genius is like? It's terrifying, even the old Taoist is envious."
Bei Mingzi stared at Ying Changqing's back and the tamed Wei River.
A bitter expression appeared on his face.
"Gulp~"
In the distance, Zhao Xuansu was both surprised and delighted, her mouth agape, unable to speak, and nervously swallowing.
Unexpectedly, Ying Changqing was actually able to do it, and even more so than he had anticipated.
Now, Ying Changqing is his enemy, but he still respects him.
Zhao Xuansu and Ying Changqing are enemies, but he is, after all, a martial artist.
He admired Ying Changqing's strength, especially since Ying Changqing was so young.
So young, yet possessing such terrifying strength.
The prince's future strength is undoubtedly immeasurable.
He gazed at the tranquil Wei River in the distance.
"From today onwards, the waters of the Wei River shall not cross this boundary for three years."
"As a prince of the Great Qin Empire, he truly possesses an imposing and awe-inspiring presence!"
"To die at the hands of such a person, Zhao Huangchao's death was worthwhile!"
Zhao Xuansu slowly closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, and was deeply shocked, unable to calm down for a long time.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ying Changqing in the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"This child is so powerful at such a young age."
"Although he received help from that mysterious Taoist senior, he should not be underestimated."
"Once he fully matures, our Longhu Mountain in Liyang will be unable to stand on its own!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuansu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
This is a golden opportunity!
He stared at Ying Changqing and Bei Mingzi.
Ying Changqing was exhausted and trembling all over. He needed Ehuang and Nüying's help to stand up.
Bei Mingzi's face turned deathly pale; his inner strength was exhausted.
All three women were concerned about Ying Changqing, and no one paid attention to Bei Mingzi, so he could only sit on the ground.
"If I launch a sneak attack now, can I kill Ying Changqing completely?"
"I won't live much longer, but I'm stuck at the Celestial Realm and can't break through."
"If I can't ascend to immortality, I'll just have to wait to die."
"Li Yang has promised that as long as Ying Changqing is killed, they will help me break through the Heavenly Gate, allowing me to ascend to the Heavenly Realm and achieve immortality!"
"If we don't seize this opportunity now, once Ying Changqing and that old Taoist priest recover their strength, even the eunuch sent by Liyang won't be able to defeat him."
Zhao Xuansu took a deep breath, suppressed her fear, and stood up.
Despite his trembling body, he resolutely walked towards Ying Changqing.
"Since I'll die eventually when my lifespan runs out, I might as well take a gamble now; there's still a chance to ascend!"
……
"Senior Bei Mingzi, shall I do it?"
Ying Changqing knew of Zhao Xuansu's existence and couldn't possibly be completely unprepared.
Zhao Xuansu thought she had hidden herself well and had not been discovered.
However, the Taoist concept of the unity of heaven and man makes one very sensitive to everything around them.
Zhao Xuansu's appearance was like a fire in the dark night, impossible to ignore.
Ying Changqing has a use for him.
He wanted to use Zhao Xuansu to lure out a bigger target, so he didn't kill him.
Zhao Xuansu rushed over now, filled with murderous intent, clearly intending to take advantage of Ying Changqing and Bei Mingzi's weakened state.
He was so eager to die that Ying Changqing granted his wish.
Bei Mingzi said, "Your Highness, I used up all my inner strength to help you, and now I have no strength left."
Ying Changqing was surprised and moved.
Bei Mingzi helped him sincerely and without holding anything back.
Ying Changqing could sense Zhao Xuansu, and Bei Mingzi must have seen her too.
Even knowing that Zhao Xuansu was a potential threat, he still didn't use any of his internal energy.
Even if Bei Mingzi only had a trace of internal energy left, Zhao Xuansu would not be able to fight against him.
"You've shared all your knowledge with me, aren't you afraid I'll let you down?"
Bei Mingzi stroked his beard and said, "I have a good eye for people."
"Therefore, I am certain that the prince has a backup plan."
"If I hold back my strength, causing you to fail at the last moment, and your inner strength is just a hair's breadth away from being devoured by the laws, then it would be too much of a loss."
Upon hearing this, Ehuang, Nüying, and Nangong Pushe all looked at Beimingzi with gratitude.
"Thank you for your consideration for the Prince, Senior Bei Mingzi."
Ying Changqing stood up and respectfully bowed to Bei Mingzi.
"Thank you for your trust, senior. I will definitely fulfill your mission of entrusting Zhao Xuansu to me!"
Previously, Ying Changqing's relationship with Bei Mingzi was simply because Bei Mingzi valued his talent and wanted to cultivate him in advance.
Ying Changqing wanted to use Bei Mingzi to control the Taoist school, and Bei Mingzi also wanted to use Ying Changqing's power. The two sides reached a deal.
Bei Mingzi was a respected senior of Ying Changqing.
He gave more than he received, helping Ying Changqing without reservation.
Bei Mingzi used up all his inner strength to protect Ying Changqing.
He didn't hold back even a shred of strength to defend himself, because he knew that conserving his power would be his death.
Thanks to Bei Mingzi's full assistance, Ying Changqing saved hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the Wei River.
Ying Changqing will always remember this kindness.
Seeing Ying Changqing's reaction, Bei Mingzi smiled and nodded in return.
"I want to thank Your Highness."
"The prince's words made me realize that humility can cultivate virtue and light can warm the world. This enlightened me."
"I didn't understand before that the Taoist ancestor's concepts of 'the highest good is like water' and 'governing by non-action' are so important."
"I understand now. The bottleneck that has plagued me for a century can now be broken through."
Bei Mingzi cupped his hands again, his face filled with excitement.
"After returning to Mount Taiyi, I will go into seclusion to break through my cultivation level, but I don't know when I will be able to emerge from seclusion."
"When the prince encounters difficulties, he can only seek help from the Eastern Emperor, who will surely agree."
Ying Changqing then realized that Bei Mingzi was helping him so much because of his words.
"It turns out that my casual remark really helped Senior Bei Mingzi a lot."
Given his mental fortitude and cultivation, he would never lose his composure like this, unable to control the expression on his face.
While pondering.
Ying Changqing turned his head to look at Zhao Xuansu, who was less than 100 meters away and exuding murderous intent.
