Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1255 - 557: Threat from the Imperial City

"You all go ahead, since the princess is willing, there’s no need to stop her."

Ning Qi saw the situation and reminded everyone, "Let’s get to work."

"This..."

Commander Li was still a bit hesitant.

"Don’t just stand there, start working."

Li Xiangrou clapped her hands, urging everyone to join in.

Having experienced such turmoil, she had matured significantly.

"Yes!"

"Everyone, together."

"..."

Quickly, the guards started to work one after another.

Ning Qi looked at the scene before him and smiled contentedly.

"Master, that girl has indeed grown quickly."

Medicine Spirit also praised.

"Indeed, compared to the beginning, she has grown quite a bit."

Ning Qi nodded, with a hint of gratification in his eyes.

Just like that, the two also went over to help.

Soon, they cleaned up the place.

After a two-hour session, they embarked on their journey once more.

The situation here quickly passed, with no one knowing what had just happened here except for the lingering scent of blood.

"We can reach a station ahead before nightfall."

Commander Li said to everyone, "Hang in there, tonight we’ll rest at the station."

"We’ll set out again tomorrow."

"Alright!"

"..."

Everyone agreed in turn and continued on towards the front.

By evening, they finally left the forest.

They arrived at the station ten miles away.

"Ah!"

The evening breeze blew over the meadow, refreshing everyone.

After a day’s journey and a fierce battle.

Everyone was already exhausted.

"We finally made it."

"Yes, this time we truly escaped death."

"With the princess and Master Ning, we won’t have any issues."

"..."

Everyone sighed deeply.

Even though they were very tired, they were quite spirited.

Following the previous battle, they exuded an aura of aggression.

Before they arrived, Commander Li had already sent someone ahead to greet the people at the station.

As the team approached the courtyard outside the station, guards came forward to greet them.

"Master, the rooms are all ready."

"There are exactly two fine Sumeru Courtyards still available!"

The guard stepped forward to lead the horses while announcing.

"Good!"

"You two, arrange for the lady to go."

Commander Li agreed and then sent them to find Li Xiangrou.

"Yes!"

Several guards agreed and then hurried over to Li Xiangrou.

Soon, they reached her.

At this time, she was chatting with Ning Qi.

"Miss, we can go to the Sumeru Courtyard now."

The guard spoke respectfully as he approached.

"Alright, let’s go."

Li Xiangrou agreed and followed along to leave.

Ning Qi and Medicine Spirit also followed closely.

They soon arrived at a room door.

The attendant opened the door and they entered one after another.

This courtyard was akin to a paradise, surrounded by small bridges and flowing water.

Compared to the courtyard they visited earlier, it was much better.

"Master, I didn’t expect to find such a courtyard in this remote area."

Medicine Spirit looked at the surroundings and couldn’t help but praise, "Truly, appearances can be deceiving."

"Indeed, somewhat unexpected."

After praising, Ning Qi looked forward and said, "A lot of effort was put into this."

"This is a station of our Yue Country; we’ve reached the territory of our country."

Li Xiangrou responded after hearing him.

"Oh? This is the territory of Yue Country."

Ning Qi was curious and said, "It seems your Yue Country is quite wealthy; even a small station is arranged so well."

"Indeed, our strength is top-tier among the neighboring countries."

"Unfortunately, internal strife is too intense; otherwise, we could dominate without issue."

Li Xiangrou replied proudly, with a sombre look in her eyes, "If it were up to me, I would abolish such conditions from now on."

"It’s up to you then."

Ning Qi did not say much or express any opinions.

This matter was better handled by her.

They subsequently located their respective rooms and rested.

During this time, Ning Qi returned to his Sumeru Space and continued cultivating his Cultivation Techniques.

He gradually refined his life light, as well as his mastery of wind and flow interruption.

As time passed, he started cultivating some other techniques.

In the latter part of the night, Ning Qi stopped cultivating and began to meditate.

A night began to quietly pass.

Far away, in a city a thousand miles away, a resplendent mansion was still lit.

In the conference hall, a few people sat uneasily.

Sitting at the principal seat was an elegant young girl.

Her appearance had some semblance to Li Xiangrou, with several others seated below.

In the center, a few people stood.

"So, none of the four True Immortals have returned?"

The young girl’s face was grave, showing a cold expression.

"Princess Rou, yes."

"They... have all been killed!"

A person in the center looked up to speak.

The young girl before them was none other than Li Xiangrou’s imperial sister, Li Fengrou.

"Hmph, what experts does she have with her, to kill my four True Immortal experts."

Li Fengrou sneered coldly and continued, "Where is she now?"

"Your Highness, she has reached a station at our border, given the speed of their divine steeds, I’d say three or four days till they’re back."

Another person followed in saying.

"We must find a way to stop her return, ensuring she can never come back."
