Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 887 - 485: Slaying the Supreme Elder

Qingzhou!

If Qingzhou is the granary of the Great Li, then Qing Province is the land of marshes.

The place is interwoven with developed waterways and rivers, complemented by man-made canals that connect trading ships far and wide, making it the water transport hub of the Great Li Dynasty, surpassing Qingzhou in development.

Among the sixteen states of the Great Li Dynasty, Qing Province’s economy, number of cultivators, and population rank at least among the top five.

The Luochuan River is the largest river within Qing Province, spanning over five thousand kilometers, its watery expanse dotted with tributaries, traversing multiple continents of the Great Li Dynasty.

On the glistening surface of the Luochuan River, ripples spread as a grand carved pleasure boat leisurely sails, stirring the clear water. freёweɓnovel_com

The ship is crafted from precious sandalwood, its prow adorned with cloud-dragon patterns, and on the deck, artists strum the qin strings, their melodious tunes accompanied by the dancing maids, their garments fluttering like graceful reflections on water.

Colorful flags flutter along the ship’s sides, rustling in the gentle breeze, exuding an air of flamboyance.

On the ship, a finely dressed young man stands leaning against the railing, gazing afar at the bountiful lands stretching for miles on both shores.

In one hand, he holds a fishing rod, fishing by the river, waiting for a fish to bite.

"Sixth Prince, how’s the catch?"

A gentle voice comes from behind, and under the observations of the finely dressed young man, a beautiful girl approaches gracefully. She is extremely attractive, with elegant eyebrows, phoenix-like eyes, jade-like cheeks, and cherry lips; her beauty reminiscent of morning dew, clad in blue robes, smiling brightly like flowers in bloom.

Looking at this handsome young man, Wei Qingwan, a genius female disciple from the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance in Qing Province, is exceptionally courteous, simply because the man’s identity is far from ordinary.

The young man in fine clothes before her is none other than Wei Lanchen, the Sixth Prince of the Great Li Dynasty, visiting Qing Province under the guise of a leisurely journey.

The Great Li Dynasty now suffers from declining power, incapable even of resolving the disaster-struck citizens under its governance, but as they say, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

In the past, at the peak of the Great Li Dynasty’s founding, when its national power was at its zenith, an army of millions was composed of cultivators. It’s said, aside from the Daoist Platform Realm, even the number of Purple Mansion Cultivators stationed exceeded one hand’s count. The founding Great Emperor himself possessed tremendous power, conquering east and west, subdued the Right and Evil sects within the borders, making them tremble in submission.

Though the Great Li Dynasty has waned, no one knows how much fortune their ancestors left them, coupled with the fact that the Great Li Dynasty still stands as the lawful ruling state now. Even large righteous sects like the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance treat the dynasty’s princes with proper courtesy.

The Sixth Prince Wei Lanchen raised the fishing rod, looking at the bait devoured, shrugged and said, "As you saw, the fish in your Luochuan River are too cunning."

Wei Qingwan lightly chuckled, "Sixth Prince, perhaps it’s the overpowering imperial dragon aura around you that scared the fish away. Not too far ahead we’ll reach our Ten Thousand Sword Alliance’s mountain gate. If the Sixth Prince is interested, the spirit fish there are much more interesting to catch."

"Haha, it seems like my ’Dragon Suppressing Heavenly Net Divine Scripture’ is not yet fully mastered, can’t even control my own aura."

Wei Lanchen laughed heartily, the Dragon Suppressing Heavenly Net Divine Scripture being the royal family’s supreme martial art, created by their founding Great Emperor, utilizing the dragon vein and imperial fortune for cultivation, unsurpassed in its domineering grandeur.

"Sixth Prince, don’t belittle yourself. Everyone knows among the royal family, your cultivation talent is top-notch, already at the Fifth Level of the Secret Realm cultivation, second only to the Eldest Princess. There’s hope you’ll surpass her in the future."

Wei Qingwan shook her head, giving advice to Wei Lanchen.

But it’s true; being so young yet already at the Fifth Level of the Secret Realm cultivation, while having significant support and abundant resources, his natural talent can’t be ignored.

"I can’t compare to the royal sister; she’s truly an immortal seedling. I have no hope of catching up in this lifetime."

Wei Lanchen leaned against the ship’s side, revealing a hint of a self-deprecating smile, speaking to himself, "Speaking of which, your Ten Thousand Swords Alliance’s Senior Brother Zhang, I saw him last time in Li City. With heroes from all over the world gathered and prodigies excelling, his performance was outstanding, an unmatched flying sword technique, worthy of being a righteous sect’s immortal seedling. I must learn some sword control techniques from him if I meet him this time."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingwan’s expression slightly froze, looking a bit unnatural.

"What’s wrong?"

Wei Lanchen noticed Wei Qingwan’s unnatural expression, asked somewhat puzzled.

"Sixth Prince, Senior Brother Zhang from her alliance might not be available for you to see."

At this moment, another woman’s voice comes.

From the cabin, a woman approaches. Her eyebrows are long and elegant like ink sketches, dressed in azure, with a sword belt swaying gracefully. Her jet-black hair dances with the wind, a few strands gently brushing her thin yet delicate cheeks, surrounded by an aura of formidable sword intensity, as if capable of slicing autumn waters and piercing clouds.

"Qin Mengying, what nonsense are you talking about."

Wei Qingwan’s gaze shows displeasure, looking at the approaching woman with discontent.

This woman is Qin Mengying, a genius disciple of the largest righteous sect in Qing Province, the Fire Cloud Palace, and also a righteous sect’s immortal seedling, having competed with Zhang Xinming in the past, both hailed as the twin prides of Qing Province.

Due to poor relations between the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and the Fire Cloud Palace, coupled with both being young female cultivators in Qing Province, comparisons between them are plentiful. While their appearances were evenly matched, Wei Qingwan is only at the Second Level Secret Realm, while Qin Mengying is already at the Fourth Level, so Wei Qingwan holds an unfavorable opinion of Qin Mengying, frequently engaging in both open and secret strife during encounters.
