Chapter 283 Hidden Dragon in the Abyss
Yizhou.

Beyond the mountains, there is a majestic city built against the mountains, with various buildings mixed among the mountains and forests, and a constant flow of people.

The largest city in Yizhou has a unique name - Qianyuan!
It means there is a hidden dragon in the abyss.

The first emperor of the Dayang Dynasty started his rebellion in Qianyuan City. Although the Dayang Dynasty is now like the setting sun and is crumbling, this city still reminds many people of its glorious days.

Today, the entire Qianlong City has a population of more than 400,000, consisting of Yizhou people, martial artists, prisoners and the military.

The most powerful person in the city is the city lord, who is also the real ruler of Yizhou today - King Xuan Yi.

Under the rule of King Xuan Yi, Qianyuan City was in good order, and even prisoners and fugitives who escaped from other states had to put away their violent tempers.

Because King Xuan Yi has always been known for his violent temper, even if a warrior has opened the fourth level, if he really offends King Xuan Yi, he will suffer in the end.

Of course, the largest number of people gathered in the city were the martial artists who came for the name of King Xuan Yi, hoping to achieve great things together and bring eternal peace.

Outside Qianyuan City, there are mountain strongholds where troops are stationed. The 50,000 Yizhou troops in the city serve as defensive outposts and also have daily training.

Outside the city, a handsome young man, shirtless, was chopping trees with an axe in his hand.

An old man in a Taoist robe stood aside, looking at the young man who obviously had a very high status in the whole Yizhou, but was working hard to cut down trees like an ordinary citizen.

The old man sighed and said, "Young Master, although Mr. Wei proposed the idea of ​​being of one mind with the people, you don't have to degrade yourself like this. Just let the servants do this kind of thing casually!"

"How can that be possible? My father is devoted to cultivation. He trusts me to take charge of Yizhou, so I must lead by example. The turmoil in Kyushu has already begun. To take back the throne that was once lost, we must do something!"

The strong young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, put down the axe in his hand and took a short rest. Soon, a dozen beautiful women were serving him, wiping his sweat and rubbing his shoulders.

The old man with the Taoist name Xuan Sheng smiled freely and carefreely. He was originally an elder of the Qingfeng Sect. The Qingfeng Sect chose King Xuan Yi during the turmoil in Jiuzhou and sent him down to contact King Xuan Yi.

Because he had made some achievements in swordsmanship and qi-reading, King Xuan Yi asked him to follow his third son Li Yixuan, to deepen the relationship between the two sides and to ask the old man to teach his child at the same time!

The old man was a little nervous at first. After all, in the Qingfeng Sect, his main focus was cultivation. He didn't know much about the dynasty's rules and couldn't do the job of serving others.

Who knew that this young master was even more capricious than him, doing whatever he wanted, being a playboy, getting drunk with common people, and even eating with beggars on the street.

Now, with Mr. Wei’s new idea put forward, Li Yixuan began to reclaim wasteland with the people.

This also led to the fact that although Li Yixuan was not as famous as his other brothers in Qianyuan City, the common people and martial artists in the city were all familiar with him and would smile kindly when they met.

Taoist Xuan Sheng felt a little disappointed:
"Young Master, the most important task now is to fight for the position of succession. Now is not the time to do these things. You have been keeping a low profile before, so if you don't show your strength now, when will you show it?"

Li Yixuan narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Master, that position is mine only if my father gives it to me. If not, I cannot take it away from him."

"Besides, all of Jiuzhou are now fighting for the supreme position. We should take a long-term view!"

Taoist Xuan Sheng was speechless. He was not good at power struggles. He just felt anxious seeing Li Yixuan staying with the refugees all day long.

The Qingfeng Sect is not the only martial arts sect that has chosen King Xuan Yi. If King Xuan Yi really fights for the throne in the end, who will be the first sect of the dynasty and share the fortune of the Nine Provinces will all depend on their own abilities.

At this time, an armored guard came over, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Young Prince, Mr. Wei invites you to go to the Zhaixing Tower!"

The young man and the Taoist smiled at each other.

The Zhaixing Tower is on the top of the mountain, almost reaching into the clouds.

Li Yixuan, wearing a brand new dragon robe, walked along the stone steps laid out in the mountains and finally arrived at a towering attic.

"Little prince!"

The guards outside the attic bowed.

Li Yixuan greeted the guards with a smile, stopped to chat briefly, and then walked into the attic slowly.

There is a world of its own hidden within the attic.

After walking through a forest and going around several courtyards, a quaint courtyard appeared in front of them. At this time, ten guards in black armor stood at the door, and the aura they exuded was that of the third level.

When the guards saw Li Yixuan, their expressions remained indifferent and they just nodded slightly.

In front of them, Li Yixuan put away his usual casual temperament and his face became serious.

He entered the courtyard with ease, came to a pavilion, and said respectfully, "Mr. Wei!"

A row of guards outside the pavilion made way for a passage, and Li Yixuan walked in quickly.

In the pavilion, a light blue weft was hung, and the floor was covered with a carpet embroidered with python patterns. The golden beasts on the table were breathing out clouds and mist, emitting curling sandalwood. There were two people standing inside, a middle-aged man in a purple robe, and a young man in a plain robe.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yixuan with dignity. As his third son, he seemed to be idle on the surface, but in fact he was capable of great responsibilities!
"Father, are you out of seclusion?"

Li Yixuan glanced at him sideways, then bowed to the young man in plain robes: "Mr. Wei!"

The middle-aged man in purple robe was the only ruler of Yizhou - King Xuan Yi.

King Xuan Yi said slowly: "The turmoil in Jiuzhou has begun. Dayang's foundation will be completely broken. Soon Zhongzhou will be in chaos!"

Li Yixuan bowed and smiled respectfully, "Congratulations, father. You are one step closer to the highest position."

The young man in plain robe next to him remained silent.

King Xuanyi shook his head: "Things have changed in Leizhou, and the Dayang Dragon Vein has not yet been fully revealed."

Li Yixuan smiled and said, "Countless people in Jiuzhou are eyeing that position, so there is no time to rush!"

King Xuanyi looked at Li Yixuan and nodded slightly, "Yixuan, I came out of retreat early this time because I need you to do something."

Li Yixuan bowed: "Please give me your instructions, Father. I will do my best!"

King Xuanyi glanced at the young man in plain robe beside him. The young man nodded and said slowly: "The destruction of the Dayang Dynasty is inevitable, but if we want to completely control the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces, the dragon veins of the Nine Provinces cannot be lost."

"Within half a month, something big will happen in the Temple of Martial Arts. By then, the dragon veins will be scattered across the nine states, and you will need to collect as many as possible."

"Collecting dragon veins and using secret techniques can help your father enter the upper realm."

As he spoke, Prince Xuan Yi took out a red sandalwood glass box from his sleeve, which contained a light golden pill. Although it was only the size of a thumb, it had amazing medicinal power.

"This golden elixir was left by the late emperor. It is the key to condensing the body of a martial saint, but only someone with great willpower can endure the pain of its backlash."

"I asked Mr. Wei to calculate. Among my five sons, only you have this blessing."

Although it was possible to advance to the fifth level, King Xuan Yi only took it out at this critical moment, which shows the importance of collecting dragon veins.

Li Yixuan is now only in the late third level, but a golden elixir can actually help him cross two realms.

Li Yixuan didn't need to think too much, the backlash of the golden elixir would definitely be unbearable for ordinary people.

Li Yixuan took a deep breath, took the golden elixir with trembling hands, and said loudly:

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

He took it with both hands. The golden elixir was not only a gift to help him break through the fifth level, but also a legacy!
King Xuan Yi had never publicly designated an heir, but the fact that he entrusted such an important task to himself at this moment was enough to be intriguing.

As for collecting dragon veins, it is not only a heavy task, but also a huge test.

Li Yixuan took the brocade box and suddenly said in deep thought: "Father, the matter of the dragon vein is of great importance, but it is the safest strategy for you to take action yourself!"

As he spoke, Li Yixuan looked at Mr. Wei.

The young man in the plain robe said calmly: "Your Highness needs to break through to the upper realm as soon as possible. There is a change in Leizhou, and it cannot be controlled without the upper realm!"

Li Yixuan said respectfully: "I understand!"

King Xuanyi waved his hand, and after Li Yixuan left, he looked at the young man in plain robes and said:
"Are you sure about spreading the Great Sun Dragon Vein to the Nine Provinces?"

The young man in white robe said: "Everything has been arranged in Zhongzhou. The matter of Leizhou is also part of our plan. When the time comes, the Martial Temple will also have to send out the envoys."

King Xuanyi nodded and asked, "Who do you think is the most likely candidate in this world of nine states?"

The young man in white robe thought for a while, walked to the table, and wrote down a few names: Yanzhou Hongmei, Yizhou Xuanyi Wang, Wanzhou Gu Chengxuan, Haizhou Longjing!
Prince Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised: "Sir, you didn't mention the barbarians of Yuezhou and Gu Kaizhi of Jizhou. It seems that Gu Chengxuan and the Dragon Whale Army are somewhat..."

The man in plain robes shook his head slightly and said slowly:

"Ordinary people cannot spy on matters of destiny. Yizhou and Yuezhou are just stubborn problems in the Nine Provinces. Although the general who guards the country has his heart in Dayang, he will inevitably set up his own faction under the general trend in the future. As for the Haizhou Dragon Whale Army, even I cannot fully understand it. Their dragon energy is a bit weird!"

Li Yixuan came out of the Zhaixing Tower, holding the brocade box and shaking his head with a grin: "This thing really makes me a little scared!"

A moment later, Taoist Xuan Sheng came up and looked at Li Yixuan quietly.

Li Yixuan hesitated for a long time and made up his mind:
"Master, mobilize the secret guards. I am going to retreat to break through the fifth level!"

Taoist Xuan Sheng hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay!"
