Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

Yang Xuan frowned. The richness of the Spiritual Force could indeed speed up the advancement of one's cultivation base, but it was only a limited increase. It was impossible to reach the sky in a single bound.    

Not to mention ordinary natural energy veins, even the cave in the Black Panther could only increase his cultivation speed by two or three times.    

After all, there was a process to the absorption of the Spiritual Force.    

Emperor Chiang knew what Yang Xuan was thinking. He adjusted his expression and said solemnly, "Mr Yang, it's fine to tell you now. There is a special place in the energy vein, and there is a great fortune within it."    

"Please tell me more about it, King Chiang."    

"It is hard to tell. In order to not affect the energy vein, we have never explored it before. You and I will know when we return to the Imperial Palace."    

Emperor Chiang's expression was extremely serious, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face.    

Yang Xuan nodded after thinking for a moment. He was going to return to the imperial palace of Chiang Country anyway, so there was no harm in taking a look.    

The day of the originally great battle had been greatly delayed after the mutual retreat of the two countries. Although the king of Qifeng Country really wanted to attack, under Zhao Hu's persuasion, he still did not act rashly.    

News of what had happened on the plain gradually spread out. In this season where everything was yellow and withered, a large piece of dark green plain appeared particularly abrupt. There were even some bold people who came to watch this legendary place where 'immortals' roamed.    

In order to be on guard, most of the troops were left at the border to guard against the surprise attack of Qifeng Country. Chiang Hai should have been guarding this place, but under Yang Xuan's request, he had indeed accompanied Emperor Chiang back to the capital of Chiang Country.    

A majestic fleet of carriages entered the capital. There were no triumphant songs and dancing, nor were there any declarations of defeat. It was as calm as usual.    

The continuous journey of several days did not pose much pressure to Yang Xuan, but Emperor Chiang showed a tired look. Yang Xuan did not say anything. He put aside the matter of the spirit vein and prepared to let them rest for a day.    

As soon as Chiang Hai got off the carriage, a soldier ran to his side and whispered in his ear.    

Yang Xuan glanced at him, and then turned to Emperor Chiang and said, "King Chiang, let's take a rest today. We can talk about the energy vein tomorrow."    

"I was thinking the same thing."    

Emperor Chiang smiled and nodded. He waved to a soldier beside him and said, "Someone, lead the way for Immortal Master Yang."    

At this moment, Chiang Hai suddenly ran over and looked at Yang Xuan with hesitation.    

Emperor Chiang frowned and asked, "What do you want?"    

"Father..."    

Chiang Hai looked hesitant. He glanced at Yang Xuan and hesitated.    

"Brother Jiang, do you have something to say?"    

"This... Mr Yang, the guard just came to report that the girl you knew earlier, is now..."    

"What happened to her?" Yang Xuan frowned slightly. Looking at Chiang Hai's expression, he had an ominous feeling in his heart.    

"She..."    

Chiang Hai hesitated for a long time but could not say anything. In the end, he waved his hand and called the soldier who told him the news.    

"Reporting to Immortal Master, that woman was originally brought into the palace by us but disappeared for no reason two days ago."    

"Disappeared?" Yang Xuan frowned. "Is the imperial palace of your country so weak? Even a girl can leave so easily."    

His words carried a hint of coldness, causing Emperor Chiang who was standing at the side to shiver. He hastily looked at Chiang Hai with a questioning look in his eyes.    

He didn't know about this matter, so he was confused at the moment.    

Chiang Hai gave him a general overview of this matter. Emperor Chiang's facial expression changed a few times. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Yang Xuan.    

"Brother Yang Xiaoxiao, that girl was indeed sent by me. At that time, I thought you didn't like her, so..."    

"King Chiang, there's no need to say these things. I just want to know her whereabouts."    

Yang Xuan said in a deep voice. Although that person had nothing to do with him, he still felt that it was his responsibility to fall into this situation.    

Emperor Chiang's facial expression changed a few times, then he nodded and said, "Alright! Mr Yang, you go back and rest first. I will investigate this matter immediately, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."    

"Then I will have to trouble King Chiang."    

Yang Xuan did not force him. He gave Chiang Hai a profound look before leaving with the soldier and returning to the courtyard.    

Emperor Chiang watched him leave. He glared at Chiang Hai and snorted. "Come with me!"    

After saying that, he turned around and walked into a side hall.    

After sending away the servants in the hall, Emperor Chiang sat on the seat of honor.    

"Tell me, where is that girl now?"    

His eyes narrowed slightly, flickering with a dangerous light. The air in the hall was stifled.    

Chiang Hai was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully, "Father, this son really doesn't know."    

"Hmph! Are those guards all idiots!? Where can a woman run to!? "    

" This... "    

Chiang Hai hesitated for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and said, "Father, was that girl given to the Chen Family by you?"    

"The Chen Family?"    

Emperor Chiang frowned and said softly, "That girl was specially nurtured by me. After being rejected by Immortal Master Yang, I gave her to the Chen Family. There was indeed such a thing. What's wrong?"    

"As expected... Father, why did you do this?"    

"Hmph, what do you know?" Emperor Chiang glanced at him and said coldly, "Back then, even Elder Zhuang was left in Chiang Country by me using this method. If not, how could I win over the hearts of the people?"    

He stood up from the throne with a solemn expression and an imposing manner. "You don't have to ask about it now. When you take over my position, you will naturally understand. Remember, as the king of the empire, you have to put aside these soft-hearted people."    

"But... Immortal Master Yang's side..."    

Chiang Hai had received this kind of education since he was young. He was not too surprised, but there was some worry in the depths of his eyes.    

There was worry in Emperor Chiang's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Bring some men to the Chen Family first and arrest all of them. After that, search the entire prefecture and see if there is any trace of that girl."    

"Isn't this too urgent?"    

"Urgent? asked ___. How could he care about that now? Immortal Master Yang is now the life-saving straw of Chiang Country. If we offend him, who will deal with Zhao Hu? "    

"Father is right."    

Chiang Hai wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly left the hall.    

"Wait a moment."    

Emperor Chiang called out to him, "Go and reorganize the troops. Zhen will personally make a trip later. This matter must be dealt with properly."    

He remembered Yang Xuan's previous coldness and his heart trembled. He secretly made up his mind.    

Not long after, a mighty troop left the Imperial Palace and headed towards a certain mansion in the capital.    

At this moment, Yang Xuan was studying the crimson wooden sword in the courtyard.
