Chapter 357: The 9th Princess of Qinglong Kingdom
Two days after Lin Hao sent Qian Duoduo and the other two away, his eldest son Qing arrived.
After Chang Ziqing had a conversation with Yun Rao, Yun Rao brought Cong Ling's body back to Yunzhong Pavilion.
Lin Hao, who was locked outside the door, had no idea what the two of them talked about.
But after Yun Rao left, Chang Ziqing took Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing away.
On the way, Lin Hao looked at Zhang Ziqing in front of him and asked, "Master, where are we going?"
"Go investigate the truth." Chang Ziqing did not look back.
Although Lin Hao was confused, he did not ask any more questions.
The three of them first came to the imperial palace of Qinglong Kingdom. As soon as they approached, Lin Hao saw the dragon aura filling the palace, which was enough to show that Qinglong Kingdom would surely prosper.
Although in this world of cultivation, the status of imperial power is not as high as that of the emperors in Lin Hao's previous life.
But it is not something that a cultivator can shake at will.
The emperor receives his mandate from heaven. If you disturb the emperor, you will certainly suffer great punishment from heaven.
Moreover, the royal family members are protected by dragon energy. If a cultivator wants to hurt the royal family, the price he will pay will be extremely huge.
Although the royal family has dragon energy to protect them, ensuring that they will not be persecuted by monsters, cultivators, and demons, it also restricts them.
All royal family members who possess dragon energy are unable to practice!
Moreover, there had been a case where the stories told by the Imperial Master about the world of cultivation made the emperor of a country yearn for it, and the emperor dissipated his own dragon energy, leading to constant natural disasters in the entire country, the people living in misery, and ultimately the country's destruction. Therefore, all cultivators who went to the palace to serve as Imperial Masters had sworn to the Heavenly Dao that they would never tell anyone about the world of cultivation.
Every national master followed this instruction, because the national master who told the story at the beginning was a lesson for him!
Although the other party did not do anything, the heaven still brought down divine punishment on the national master, and the national master was instantly reduced to ashes.
Therefore, not to mention that the national teacher would not tell, even the monks rarely approached the place where the royal families of the four countries were, for fear that they would see them flying in the sky and would want to disperse the dragon energy.
And for this reason, Chang Ziqing did not bring his two apprentices directly into the palace, but walked in through the main gate.
Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing followed their master into the palace and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne with purple dragon energy rising into the sky.
This was the first time Lin Hao saw dragon energy, and he felt it was novel.
The emperor, who was sitting at the top, saw the visitors and immediately stood up and walked down. He nodded respectfully to them and said, "I wonder what business you have here, immortals?"
At this moment, the eldest son Qing was no longer as casual as usual. His back was straight and he looked serious and solemn.
"We want to meet the Ninth Princess."
The smile on the Qinglong Emperor's face froze, and he forced another smile.
"Since the immortals know Jiu'er, they must also be aware of Jiu'er's situation."
Zhang Ziqing nodded, "I know. This time we are here to investigate the cause of death of your country's ninth princess. We have already got some clues. We just need to go and take a look."
The Qinglong Emperor looked at his eldest son Qing in shock: "Does the Immortal know who the murderer is?"
"If it is confirmed that the Ninth Princess's situation is consistent with our speculation, then the cause of her death is basically determined." Zhang Ziqing replied solemnly.
The Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom was a little hesitant at first. He doubted the intentions of several people, but he figured it out after a moment.
The royal families of various countries are people that the monks try to avoid as much as possible. If there were no real clues, he believed that these people would not come here.
Moreover, seeing the frank appearance of these three people, they don't seem like the kind of evil people.
After thinking it through, the Qinglong Emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a few immortals with me right away."
The Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom didn't even call him "I", but directly addressed him as "me". He didn't even call the eunuch, but personally took Lin Hao and the other two to the resting place of the Ninth Princess.
He didn't know how long he had been waiting for this day. Back then, out of his own selfishness, he looked for an expert to remove the dragon energy from the Ninth Princess, who was the most talented among all his children.
In order to let this child embark on the path of cultivating immortals, then the prosperity of Qinglong Kingdom can be guaranteed for hundreds of years.
But he didn't expect that his youngest daughter, who had the greatest talent, was stuck at the first stage of the disciple-recruiting conference!
He still can't figure out why Jiuer was eliminated in the first round.
He had asked someone to check before the disciple-recruiting conference and found out that Jiuer was an extremely rare, top-grade single spiritual root.
Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk to dissipate the dragon energy in Jiuer.
Are the requirements in the world of cultivation so high?
When the Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom saw Jiuer's lost expression, he did not dare to show too much disappointment, let alone ask too many questions.
He just used various tricks to coax his little daughter.
But before Jiuer's mood could completely improve, his lively and lovely little daughter died in the palace.
From that day on, he lived in self-blame every day.
Although the fatal wound on Jiuer's body was caused by an ordinary weapon, the Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom still found a very small wound in an inconspicuous place, which was obviously caused by a magic weapon.
Considering the marks of torture on Jiuer's body before her death, it is not difficult to imagine that it must have been caused by the other party's carelessness when Jiuer resisted.
Although the other party handled it very cleanly, he still judged it from some clues.
He had also confirmed with the National Master the injuries on Jiuer's body, and they were indeed caused by a magic weapon!
In his opinion, if Jiuer had not had her dragon energy taken away, she would not have died so tragically.
Unable to accept the death of his beloved youngest daughter, he used the Qinglong Kingdom's national treasure, the Qinglong Pearl, to keep Jiuer's body from decaying for a hundred years, just as it was when she died.
When he made this decision, he took a huge risk.
You must know that a country's national treasure has a great relationship with the country's fortune.
But now it seems that everything is worth it, he finally got the chance to avenge his daughter!
Lin Hao was originally confused. Why did his master want him to come here to see someone who had died a long time ago?
Even if the other party was killed by Shi Ye, he must have died more than three months ago.
You know, one month after a person's death, his luck will completely dissipate.
But Shi was still in the secret realm a month ago, so it was impossible for him to kill the Ninth Princess.
This means that the luck in the other person's body has long dissipated, and it is impossible to find out anything.
Moreover, even if the other party is a royal family, he is still a mortal. The method of preserving corpses by mortals cannot prevent the collapse of luck at all.
But when he opened the Ninth Princess's coffin, Lin Hao knew he was wrong.
The Ninth Princess inside looked as if she had just passed away. Lin Hao instantly understood why his master had come all the way here.
After Chang Ziqing persuaded the Emperor of Qinglong Kingdom to leave, he turned around and looked at Lin Hao.
Without saying much, Lin Hao stepped forward to remove the illusion on the Ninth Princess. This was the second time Lin Hao used this trick and he was already quite proficient at it.
Soon, Lin Hao removed the illusion on the Ninth Princess.
