Chapter 218 Secrets of the Demonic Path
"Sister, please stop teasing your little brother." Lin Fei sighed and said directly, "Sister, please just tell me what you need me for!"
"You rascal, it's been so long, why don't you catch up with your sister a bit more?" Ji Lianxing gave Lin Fei a reproachful look, then turned to Princess Pingyang and said, "Sister, this boy and I have some things to discuss. It's getting late, you should go back now!"
“In that case, I’ll be going now.” Princess Pingyang nodded, then said to Lin Fei, “If you change your mind, come find me anytime.”
After saying that, he left.
Ji Lianxing stared at Lin Fei with a half-smile: "You little rascal, you're quite the ladies' man! As far as I know, Princess Pingyang, though gentle in nature, is actually quite arrogant. I never expected her to treat you so differently. What, are you really not considering staying in the Northern Han Kingdom as a prince consort? The Liu family does have some influence."
"Sister, please stop teasing me." Lin Fei said helplessly, "But sister, how did you come to know Princess Pingyang?"
Princess Pingyang is a princess of the Northern Han Dynasty, while Ji Lianxing is a demonic sorceress. It's unexpected that the two would have a connection. Moreover, it seems that their relationship is quite extraordinary.
Ji Lianxing smiled mysteriously: "My sister has a wide circle of friends, which is something you, a mere boy, could never understand. But finding you is really a hassle; I even had to use Princess Pingyang's connections to see you. Things are truly different now!"
Lin Fei couldn't help but feel puzzled: "I've always been on my own. Sister, you could have come to me by yourself. Why did you have to ask Princess Pingyang to bring you here?"
Ji Lianxing rolled her eyes at Lin Fei, annoyed: "Isn't that obvious? I'm from Feihua Palace. If it weren't for Princess Pingyang leading the way, how would I have been able to meet you, the Prince Consort of Northern Han?"
Feihua Palace has never had a good reputation. Although the Northern Han Dynasty had invited a member of the demonic path like Qin Zhongshan to the previous Heroes' Gathering, Qin Zhongshan and his group still quickly left the Northern Han capital after the gathering ended.
Because those who follow unorthodox methods will ultimately be feared by the twelve noble families of Northern Han. Even if they do not cause trouble, they will be subject to heavy surveillance.
Ji Lianxing did not show up at the previous Heroes' Gathering. Although her cultivation level was not as high as that of Qin Zhongshan and Xue Bahuang, she was not necessarily worse than the followers of Qin Zhongshan.
She hadn't shown herself before, but now that Qin Zhongshan and the others had just left, she had come looking for him. The reason behind this was rather intriguing.
Lin Fei's eyes flashed, and he had already guessed Ji Lianxing's purpose: "Sister, is your visit related to Qin Zhongshan?"
"You're quite clever, kid!" Ji Lianxing looked at Lin Fei with some surprise and nodded: "That's right, it's related to Qin Zhongshan. There were many experts gathered in the capital of Northern Han before, and Qin Zhongshan and his group were also here. It was inconvenient for me to show myself, so I waited until they left before coming to find you."
Lin Fei had previously thwarted Qin Zhongshan's plans in Xijiang County, and his victory at the Heroes' Gathering this time greatly embarrassed Qin Zhongshan. Although the two hadn't interacted much, a grudge had already formed between them.
However, Qin Zhongshan, known as the "Demon Emperor of Chaos," was a figure who had opened the gates of heaven and earth. With Lin Fei's current cultivation level, he was simply no match for Qin Zhongshan. Therefore, Lin Fei directly said, "If you want to deal with Qin Zhongshan, you've chosen the wrong person. My cultivation level is simply not enough in front of him."
Ji Lianxing rolled her eyes at Lin Fei, annoyed: "Who said you were supposed to deal with Qin Zhongshan? I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already trying to shirk your responsibilities."
"Besides, when have you ever suffered a loss when I asked you to do things for me?" Ji Lianxing continued, "This matter is not just about me, but also has a great deal to do with your Southern Tang Kingdom. If you, as a prince of Southern Tang, don't care, then just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Lin Fei originally thought that if Ji Lianxing's matter was related to Qin Zhongshan, then it should be a personal grudge between the Eight Evil Paths. However, he did not expect that, according to Ji Lianxing's words, it was also closely related to the Southern Tang Kingdom.
Lin Fei couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is it that you're talking about, sister?"
Seeing that Lin Fei had finally taken it to heart, Ji Lianxing then explained why she had come to see Lin Fei this time.
It's true that Ji Lianxing came to Lin Fei this time to deal with Qin Zhongshan. It's also true that it has a significant connection to the Southern Tang Kingdom. Because Qin Zhongshan's target is none other than the Southern Tang Kingdom's national treasure—the Xuanyuan Sword!
Upon hearing that Qin Zhongshan had actually set his sights on the Xuanyuan Sword, Lin Fei was quite astonished—had Qin Zhongshan lost his mind? How dare he covet the Xuanyuan Sword!
You must understand that the Xuanyuan Sword is the national treasure of the Southern Tang Kingdom. Not to mention Qin Zhongshan, even someone a hundred times more powerful than Qin Zhongshan would never return if they dared to covet the Xuanyuan Sword.
Emperor Li Yu of Tang, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, possessed combat prowess no less than that of a master at the Celestial Realm. Furthermore, within the capital of Southern Tang, Marquis Su Lie, also at the Celestial Realm, was stationed. Not to mention Qin Zhongshan was merely a junior; even the leader of one of the Eight Evil Paths sects would have no chance of returning to Southern Tang's capital.
"Sister, you're exaggerating a bit too much." Lin Fei smiled indifferently: "With Qin Zhongshan's abilities, wanting to covet the Xuanyuan Sword is simply a pipe dream! If he dares to enter the capital of Southern Tang, we'll make sure he goes in standing up and comes out lying down!"
“Qin Zhongshan alone certainly couldn’t do it,” Ji Lianxing said. “What if someone could temporarily seal the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, and there was someone capable of defeating, or even killing, Marquis Shenwei?”
Seeing that Ji Lianxing was serious, Lin Fei knew she wasn't joking.
If the power of the Xuanyuan Sword could be temporarily sealed, and there were others capable of dealing with Shenwei Hou, then it wouldn't be impossible to seize the Xuanyuan Sword from the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After all, Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty could only unleash the combat power of a Celestial Realm expert when wielding the Xuanyuan Sword. Without the Xuanyuan Sword's enhancement, he was merely an ordinary Dharma Aspect expert.
Furthermore, if someone could deal with Su Lie, the situation would be even more dire. Marquis Shenwei, Su Lie, was one of the most formidable warriors in the Southern Tang capital. If he were to be bogged down, the Southern Tang's military strength would be significantly weakened.
However, in Lin Fei's view, sealing the power of the Xuanyuan Sword was already a pipe dream, let alone defeating, or even killing, the Divine Might Marquis Su Lie, who was at the Celestial Realm.
