Wanbao Lady

Chapter 442 The Eldest Princess

A few days later.

Under the guidance of the messenger from the Immortal Affairs Department, Chongfan set foot on the territory of Lingzhou.

Lingzhou is the central core of the Great Zhou, so it is obviously much more prosperous than other states.

Houses are lined up one after another, trade is booming on the wide streets, and people's clothes are much more colorful.

Thinking about the upcoming meeting with the powerful figure among the cultivators of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Chongfan couldn't help feeling nervous, but more of it was anticipation.

It is understood that this princess was the eldest daughter of the Human Emperor during the war between humans and demons. Therefore, everyone in the Great Zhou called her the Princess. Her real name was Fuluan.

Originally during the reign of the Human Emperor, and even during the previous period when the Human Emperor was in power, all the mortals and cultivators of the Great Zhou were under the jurisdiction of the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor at that time could be said to be the common ruler of all countries.

But after the thousand-year war between humans and demons, which severely damaged both the human and demon races, the alliances of various countries fell apart as the last human emperor ascended to heaven, and there is no more human emperor in the world.

The eldest princess who stayed behind became the backbone of the monks in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In other words, she was the actual ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As for the secular court and secular affairs, they were governed by the "emperor" who had never experienced spiritual practice.

Therefore, during the eighty years when she was in seclusion, the previous emperor, Emperor Tai'an, had passed away, and the Great Zhou had a new emperor.

But for the monks who have lived for a long time, these are not important. No matter how many emperors have changed, as long as the eldest princess is there, the Great Zhou will remain stable.

Before we knew it, Qingling Mountain was right in front of us.

"Please inform the general that the newly promoted Dongxu cultivator, Wanbao Niangniang of Yudu Mountain, has arrived."

Guan Ke stepped forward quickly and said to one of the armored soldiers holding a sharp weapon.

Hearing this, the soldier looked over, then bowed to Chongfan and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

Having said that, he quickly walked towards the mountain.

After a while, the man came with a waiter dressed in palace costume.

"Your Majesty, please follow me," said the waiter.

Hearing this, Chongfan nodded, passed through the heavy armored soldiers, and was led up the mountain.

There were flowers all over the mountains, and all kinds of rare and exotic animals were strolling leisurely in the mountains. They were not afraid of strangers coming, and there was a hint of curiosity in their clear eyes.

Beautiful palace maids shuttled back and forth, their clothes fluttering and bringing a gust of fragrant wind.

But Chongfan could clearly feel that these palace maids were all cultivators!

Among them were human cultivators, and there were also many demon cultivators.

The bodies of these demon cultivators were almost all birds! There were all kinds of birds, big and small, simple and gorgeous, scattered among the mountains.

Just a moment.

After passing through many paths, passing through many corridors, turning left and right, we were finally led to a house.

"We're here, please come in, Your Majesty." The waiter made a gesture.

"Thank you."

Chongfan looked inside the house, then stepped in step by step.

The inner room was very spacious, with exotic flowers and plants and some light blue curtains everywhere. A wide and long screen was placed in front, blocking the figure behind the screen.

The figure was sitting upright on a futon. On the other side of the screen, there was also a futon and a small table.

"You are a guest, please take a seat."

The female figure said slowly.

"Thank you, Princess."

Chongfan nodded in greeting, then knelt down on the cushion.

At this point, there was only a screen between the two parties, and they could almost be said to be sitting face to face.

But a maid came forward respectfully, then knelt down and poured fragrant tea. Her movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

"This is the fragrant tea grown on my mountain. It's called Yishen. I'd like to invite you to have a taste."

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Chongfan couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards him.

He raised the teacup and took a sip.

As soon as I took a sip of the fragrant tea, I felt refreshed and comfortable all over, and even my sea of ​​consciousness expanded.

"It's really refreshing." She sighed softly.

The figure behind the screen smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are very skilled in refining treasures. I wonder where your master came from?"

Hearing this, Chongfan lowered his eyes slightly, "I don't have a master."

There was silence for a moment behind the screen, and then he suddenly said, "Speaking of which, fellow Daoist, it reminds me of an old friend. During the war between humans and demons, there was also such a weapon-refining genius, known as Lord Hengyang. He had no master, but he was still able to cultivate to great power with his natural talent."

Hearing this, Chongfan was slightly surprised for a moment, thinking about the few records about the other party he had read in books before, he suddenly understood.

"This senior is truly a great talent."

It’s a pity that the only information about the other party’s whereabouts is “missing”. No one knows where this person went after the battle between humans and demons, or whether he is dead or alive.

"Yes! Time has passed too quickly, and this person did not leave behind any legacy, so many people have forgotten him. When Daoist friend came today, I vaguely saw his shadow."

The eldest princess sighed softly.

Hearing this, Chongfan couldn't help but have a flash of thought.

What are you saying...Do you think I have inherited the secret from him?

"This senior is extremely talented, I am not as good as him." She said in a gentle voice.

The woman behind the screen smiled, and the pearls on her head made a crisp sound of colliding. "Fellow Daoist, you are too modest. Back then, when you were a Yang Shen, you dared to confront the Ghost King of Xisha. This was a rare event in a thousand years. I have also heard about it!"

Hearing this, Chongfan raised his eyes slightly and said, "My brave act alone has made the princess laugh. Speaking of which, in order to resolve the dispute, I went to Xisha Kingdom with the ghost king, and I heard him tell a strange story."

"Oh?"

"I think the princess has also heard about the incident at Xilun Holy Mountain."

"Yes, this mountain is the ancestral home of the human race, so of course you have heard of it. It's a pity that it disappeared in ancient times, and no one can see its true appearance anymore." The eldest princess sighed.

Hearing this, Chong Fan continued, "The Ghost King told me that he had personally seen a man enter this holy mountain, and was lucky enough to receive a gift from the holy mountain. It's really an amazing story!"

After that, the room was silent for a moment, and no one spoke anymore.

After a moment, a short laugh broke the silence.

"Hahaha!"

But the female figure behind the screen smiled and shook her head, "This ghost, after so many years, still holds a grudge!"

After laughing, the woman said frankly: "Yes, I am the one who has the 'good luck' to enter the Holy Mountain."

When she said this, she seemed to be lost in memories, and her tone was full of regret.

"Back then, after discovering that the war between humans and demons was instigated by the ghosts, my two tribes united and attacked the ghost world together. But I was careless for a moment and was besieged by the ghosts. I had no choice but to flee to Xisha. Unexpectedly, by accident, I entered the secret realm of the Holy Mountain and got a good fortune."

She suddenly looked over and said firmly, "However, I guess you were also this 'lucky' person back then. Am I right?"
