Chapter 399 The King is overjoyed
The strategist suddenly realized that his king was going to return to the harem to favor a fairy.
I heard that the king has been staying in the palace of a fox spirit for the past few days.
The strategist tugged at Bao Yongxing's sleeve: "Let's go, Your Majesty, it'll be too late if we're late!"
King Bao Yongxing was pulled along by the astrologer, who gripped his sleeve tightly.
During this time, he tried several times to shake off the Heavenly Master's hand and return to Hu Xian'er's palace.
But the celestial strategist held him too tightly, and he couldn't break free.
The diviner sneered inwardly.
After today, he will no longer have to put up with this idiot.
If this fool didn't possess the strength of a Celestial Lord and be able to accomplish many things for him, why would he have tolerated this fool until now?
He had long ago foreseen that the Middle Realm would change its ruler, and that a new star of fortune had risen, which would benefit the entire Middle Realm.
What he had to do was to get ahead of everyone else and snatch this lucky star.
The so-called "Heavenly Phoenix Maiden" was nothing but a lie he used to deceive that fool Bao Yongxing.
His sect specializes in the art of observing qi (vital energy).
But he had great ambitions since childhood, and he was not content to merely observe others' moods.
Finally, in the forbidden area behind his sect's mountain, he found the Qi-stealing technique left by his ancestor.
Good fortune is something you can never borrow from others; it's never as good as having it yourself.
So, he waited for Zhong Lingxin.
He only needs to obtain Zhong Lingxin's birth date and time when he presides over Bao Yongxing and Zhong Lingxin's wedding to steal Zhong Lingxin's good fortune.
As the astrologer pulled Bao Yongxing toward the teleportation array, he ordered Xingye City to be decorated, with red ribbons fluttering, flowers flying, cranes soaring, and birds singing in unison.
Your Majesty is overjoyed!
In Xingye City, Bao Yongxing would have a big celebration every now and then.
The immortals of Xingye City were used to it, each taking out their own celebratory items that they had used eight hundred times, hanging them high where appropriate, and letting them flutter freely where they should.
As for the blooming flowers and auspicious cranes, Bao Yongxing's master of ceremonies had already received orders to release them all.
As he placed it, he instructed the children to watch it carefully, as they would need it again next time.
Zhong Lingxin and Lu Zichen had discussed hundreds of plans to seize power, but before they could implement them, they were shocked by the scene outside the teleportation array.
Xingye City is having a happy occasion!
I heard that Bao Yongxing married over a hundred wives in the last one or two hundred years, and several dozen of them are still alive.
He's getting married again!
At the entrance of the teleportation array, a master of ceremonies draped in red silk was playing a wedding tune of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" in front of the array.
The immortals, who had been jostled around in the teleportation array, finally managed to land and rushed out in a swarm, only to be blocked by the immortals standing at the entrance. They were all so angry that they cursed their ancestors for eight generations.
Soon, they stopped cursing.
Because their cursing wasn't as loud as the suona horn or the melody of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix."
The immortals inside the teleportation array all fell silent.
I'd heard that Xingye City was full of happy events, but I never expected to witness one myself.
What's going on? Are they handing out wedding candy?
However, I heard that the wedding candies at Xingye City are not tasty, and you have to buy them at Huaxian Stone.
A wise immortal, under a low voice, took out a small storage bag, sealed it with one hundred high-grade immortal stones, and considered it a way to avoid disaster by giving away his wealth.
More immortals followed suit and began sealing small storage bags as well.
Zhong Lingxin, Lu Zichen, and Yu Wuqing each took out a small storage bag.
The three of them exchanged glances.
Perfect timing! Let's take advantage of this festive occasion and see if we can sneak into the city lord's mansion.
Little did the three know that the city lord's mansion didn't need them and was actually welcoming them with open arms.
One by one, the immortals slipped out from the teleportation array, tossing small storage bags onto the table next to a seated immortal as they went.
Lu Zichen secretly transmitted his voice to Zhong Lingxin and Yu Wuqing: "Something's not right. Is this to welcome the people in our teleportation array? Could it be you two?"
Yu Wuqing coldly scoffed, "He wouldn't dare! If he dares to take me and Xinxin, I'll kill them!"
Zhong Lingxin sneered: "With that kind of brain, it's not surprising what they'll do. Prepare for battle. It's better if it's not us. If it were us, we would have just killed them and taken them."
The three were ready for battle, but like other immortals, they each took a small storage bag and placed it on the table.
The seated immortal suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhong Lingxin: "Husband..."
Before she could even utter the word "human," Zhong Lingxin had already slashed out with her sword.
At the same time, Lu Zichen slashed out with his sword.
Yu Wuqing threw out a bunch of sixth and seventh grade talismans.
The immortal who is bowing is Bao Yongxing.
Having experienced countless battles, he had already dodged away by the time Zhong Lingxin unleashed her sword.
The astrologer standing behind him was unable to dodge and was cleaved in two by Zhong Lingxin's sword. His soul escaped from his sea of consciousness, frantically trying to escape.
They miscalculated; they only anticipated the arrival of the lucky star, but not its ferocity.
It is said that those who cultivate good fortune do good deeds and pray for blessings and good luck every day.
Where else can one cultivate such good fortune and fighting power!
Before the Celestial Master's soul could escape even a foot away, it was smashed to ashes by Yu Wuqing's talisman and completely vanished into the world.
As he dissipated, he thought, "After today, I really won't have to put up with that idiot Bao Yongxing anymore."
Bao Yongxing dodged Zhong Lingxin's sword strike and immediately summoned his ebony magic staff.
Before he could even raise his ebony staff, another sword, flashing like a bolt of lightning, came crashing down on his head.
Out of the corner of Bao Yongxing's eye, he saw that the Heavenly Master and all his ministers were killed by two consecutive sword strikes.
Then, countless talismans rained down on him, smashing his body, shattering his soul, and reducing him to ashes.
The battle lasted no more than half an incense stick's time from start to finish.
Bao Yongxing died with his dream of becoming an immortal emperor.
The Celestial Master also died, carrying with him his dream of becoming an Immortal Emperor.
All the ministers who came with Bao Yongxing to marry his new wife died.
In Xingye City, the high-level combat forces were basically wiped out.
Zhong Lingxin summoned the City Lord's Seal from Bao Yongxing's dantian and, together with her master and Yu Wuqing, fought their way to the City Lord's Mansion, freeing Bao Yongxing's dozens of wives.
Those who were willing to be liberated were readily let go by Zhong Lingxin.
Those who refused to be liberated and dreamed of becoming the Immortal Emperor's wife were directly killed by Zhong Lingxin and the other two.
Now, what they need to do is to seize power and control Xingye City.
They don't have time to influence different opinions.
The officials of Xingye City's lord's mansion prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling as they handed over all the records of Xingye City, including the registers of immortals, the tax registers, the registers of immortal soldiers, and so on.
On the city walls of Xingye, the Great King's flag has been replaced.
A large flag bearing the character "陆" (Lu) fluttered high in the wind.
Lu Zichen became the new city lord and also the new King Lu.
The celestial soldiers of Xingye City had all heard that the old king had died at the hands of the new city lord and the two fairies he brought, after only three moves.
