Longevity begins with refining blood essence

Chapter 22: The Power of the Dragon
"I see."

It seems that there must be many experts in that immortal sect.

It is true that there are always people better than you. We should try to be low-key in life.

"By the way, Master Fang, there are some things I don't know whether I should say them or not."

"Master Chen, please feel free to speak."

"Then I'll tell you. The world is in chaos and the people are living in misery. Your Majesty is immersed in martial arts, and the government can only be handed over to the Crown Prince and a group of princes. However, as time goes by, someone between the Crown Prince and the princes will inevitably succeed to the throne. I wonder if Master Fang is willing to assist a prince? If the other party ascends to the throne in the future, Master Fang will have the merit of following the dragon!"

Fang Chen is not very interested in the fight for the throne, but it would be a good thing if he could gain some benefits from it.

For example, if you want a few more skills, the royal skills should be considered the best treasures of Daqian, right?

It would be best if I could also learn from the training experience of some powerful warriors to increase my own deduction gains, which would be many times better than practicing alone.

However, he was not in a hurry to show off. As the saying goes, rare goods are valuable. If he revealed his thoughts too much, he would gain nothing.

As a congenital master, one must maintain his own status in order to have a higher value and obtain more generous rewards.

Another point is that not everyone is willing to help Fang Chen. If it is the kind of prince who is lazy, scheming and greedy for pleasure, wouldn't it put the people of the world in a desperate situation if he is helped to ascend the throne?
By that time, corpses will be everywhere, and the people will eat their own children. Nine out of ten households in Daqian will be wiped out. Isn't it my responsibility as well?
Although people cannot be saints, they cannot be beasts either, right?

"Let's talk about it later. I don't have any plans for now."

"Okay, then when Master Fang has any ideas, please let me know in time."

Fang Chen nodded.

"After I capture Li Jinglong tonight, I will temporarily leave Jianghai City for a while and go to Chuzhou to participate in the martial arts conference. I will be away from here for a while."

That night, Chen Shouren invited Li Jinglong to the yamen to discuss the matter of the gambling house.

When the sun set in the west, Li Jinglong rode in a sedan chair carried by eight people and slowly arrived at the yamen.

For some reason, looking at the gate of the yamen, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

The servant who was following him noticed that Li Jinglong's face looked a little bad, so he hurried forward to ask.

Li Jinglong shook his head.

"Nothing, probably because I have too many worries these days. Let's go in."

"Yes!"

Li Jinglong quickly entered the county government office. In the lobby, Chen Shouren was wearing an official robe and looking at him seriously.

"Li Jinglong, you are so bold that you dare to collude with the bandit leader Zheng Shanjun of Hutou Mountain and endanger the people. You are guilty of a crime that deserves death!"

Li Jinglong's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly pretended to be calm and returned to normal.

"Sir Chen, you called me here in the middle of the night, did you just want me to hear you make a fool of myself? When did I ever collude with the bandit leader of Hutou Mountain? Even if you are the county magistrate of Jianghai City, an official appointed by the imperial court, you cannot slander me at will, right?"

Chen Shouren sneered continuously.

"Go on, keep acting. I wonder how long you can keep acting. The leader of the Hutou Mountain bandits, Zheng Shanjun, was arrested at noon. He has confessed everything. Otherwise, do you think I would have rashly invited you to come to this government office without evidence?"

Hearing Zheng Shanjun's name, Li Jinglong's eyes flashed with panic again, but he still managed to stay calm and said:
"If what Lord Chen said is true, please invite Zheng Shanjun to the yamen and confront me in public? You can't deny me a chance to prove my innocence, right?"

"I know you won't cry until you see the coffin. Well, I will let you die knowingly. Come, bring Zheng Shanjun up."

A deep voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Li Jinglong, you bastard, you actually teamed up with the people from the county government to cheat me, you beast, I will never let you go!"

"Damn bastard!"

Li Jinglong cursed, stomped his foot, and his body immediately turned into a shadow and fled outside.

"Chen Shouren, don't be too proud too soon. I will settle this account with you sooner or later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he came out, but he did not see Zheng Shanjun in the yard. Only Bai Yunfei was standing in the corner, looking at him with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Li Jinglong instantly realized that he had been fooled.

I've often heard that there are ventriloquist masters in Kyoto.
"Damn you, you guys teamed up to set this up, but so what? I'm a strong man in the Xiantian realm. If I want to leave, who can stop me? Not even you, Chen Shouren."

With a roar, Li Jinglong exerted all his strength and stomped his foot. The bluestone floor of the yamen suddenly cracked and spread out for three meters.

With the help of the recoil force, Li Jinglong's body instantly turned into a black afterimage and rushed straight towards the tall wall of the yamen.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes revealed a hint of smug joy at escaping.

As long as he escapes, no one will be able to threaten him anymore. Then he can go find the Tenth Prince, change his appearance and identity, and continue to live a carefree life.

To him, these crimes, such as life for life and collusion with rebels, which were despised by the imperial court, were completely unimportant.

In this world, some people are in high positions, while others have to be treated like pigs and dogs!

He was very fast and reached the top of the wall in a flash. But the moment he leaned over, he found that there was already a young constable standing outside the wall, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Li Jinglong recognized him as the young constable who had caused trouble at the Jixiang Casino that day. Why did he come to stop him again today? This was something that I could only tolerate as an uncle, but not as an aunt!
Killing arises from the heart and cannot be stopped at all.

"You little brat, you dare to stop me? You're courting death!"

Li Jinglong threw a punch directly, trying to blow Fang Chen's body into a ball of blood mist, but just when he thought he could easily defeat Fang Chen, Fang Chen suddenly moved.

It disappeared from his sight in an instant at that terrifying speed.

"what?"

Li Jinglong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

His eyes couldn't even keep up with the other party's speed?

At this moment, there were only a few ignorant questions in his mind.

who am I?
where am I?
what am i doing?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt a heavy blow on the back of his head.

boom--!
Along with the severe pain came darkness.

Puff-!
Li Jinglong fell to the ground like a dead pig, unconscious.

Chen Shouren and others caught up and said with a smile:
"Master Fang is really amazing. He defeated Li Jinglong with just one move."

Fang Chen said calmly:
"He didn't know my level of cultivation and wasn't on guard against me."

Of course, even if Li Jinglong knew his own cultivation level and was on guard, the consequence would be the same.

There are also differences in the innate realm. The strength of the peak innate realm and the ordinary innate realm is several times different. The two are not on the same level at all. Li Jinglong is just a kindergarten kid in front of him, and he can defeat him with one punch.

　Please continue reading, thank you everyone.
