I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 410 - 259: Parading Through the Streets

Turing True Monarch was startled, not daring to explore this unfamiliar space.

"Report to the Seventh Prince, the fourth prophecy is: A visitor from beyond, Jiuli shall prosper!"

"!!!" Li Jizhou’s heart trembled.

"Ha~ With my father emperor here, Jiuli will naturally prosper."

"Yes, yes, the Seventh Prince is absolutely right. With the Saint Emperor here, our Jiuli will definitely prosper."

"Do you have any research on this prophecy?" Li Jizhou thought for a moment and still chose to speak through this world.

Turing True Monarch’s gaze slightly shifted: "Report to the Seventh Prince, I do not. I am not too trusting of it; it serves as mere conversation."

Li Jizhou blended into this small world, seeing the subtle changes in Turing True Monarch very clearly.

Understanding that there was some concern in his heart.

"Is that divine scroll present?" Li Jizhou asked again.

Turing True Monarch straightforwardly replied that such a divine artifact, even ancestors dared not keep and had long been lost.

Li Jizhou did not pursue further.

Although the prophecy seemed quite accurate, and the fourth indeed involved him, it did not harm.

"Go!"

Before the words fell, Turing True Monarch had already returned to the secret room of Black Stone Workshop.

"This old man takes his leave."

Li Jizhou nodded, not making it difficult for him.

Until he left the secret room, Li Jizhou’s true self finally entered the Dharma Realm.

Stopped in front of a giant stone, attempting to communicate with a Six-winged Golden Cicada hiding behind the stone in fear upon entering the Dharma Realm.

However, unfortunately, it was completely impossible to communicate, only able to sense the Six-winged Golden Cicada’s fear.

After trying for a moment, Li Jizhou had no choice but to give up, his true self returning to the secret room again.

What he didn’t know was, when he had just left the Dharma Realm, the usually timid Sable actually approached the Six-winged Golden Cicada...

Taking Hong Luan out of the secret room, Li Jizhou looked calm, but his heart was joyful.

This time in Black Stone Workshop’s stone gambling, the wood attribute spirit stones numbered two hundred, enough for him to continuously cultivate to Core Formation.

In addition, the harvest of Spirit Marrow and Top-Grade Spirit Stones could be considered bountiful.

At this moment, he also needed to handle serious matters.

Prince Yun’s Mansion with an annual mining output of fifteen million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, plus the entire tax revenue from Black Stone City, at least twenty million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

Thus, he also nurtures bandits for looting, coupled with interactions with the Cangming Dynasty, ambitious.

Coming to Black Stone City was to investigate this clearly, not only to reclaim the spirit stone resources belonging to him but also to preemptively clear out parasites.

However, with Prince Yun’s lineage’s thousands of years of planning in Black Stone City, it has long been built like an iron barrel; not to mention a small Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like him, even if the Saint Emperor sent an envoy to investigate, they likely wouldn’t find any issues.

So conventional methods won’t be effective.

"Apprehend him for me!" Upon leaving the secret room, Li Jizhou glanced at Li Qingyun who was waiting respectfully, and gave an order.

Hong Luan beside him was decisive, instantly sealing both his magical power and divine soul.

"Grand Ancestor?" Having thought the matter was past, Li Qingyun had just started sending messages within the mansion, trying every means to please the Seventh Prince, but was suddenly captured, and his face was filled with surprise.

Upon seeing this scene, the royal guards instinctively stepped forward.

The Seventh Prince, no matter how noble, is irrelevant to them, as they are guards of Prince Yun’s Mansion.

"Hmm?" Li Jizhou glanced coldly at several guards.

"How dare you be disrespectful to my Grand Ancestor? Retreat now?" Although Li Qingyun was restrained, he still turned to scold the guards.

"Retreat?" Li Jizhou sneered at Li Qingyun.

Li Qingyun’s expression stiffened, and the rumors of the Seventh Prince being aloof, ruthless, and unpredictable involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth: "Wouldn’t you self-sever an arm to apologize to my Grand Ancestor?"

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, severed limbs can be regenerated. For the four Divinity Transformation guards, losing an arm would be but a severe depletion of vitality, recoverable within a fortnight.

These four guards are personal guards of the Crown Prince from Prince Yun’s Mansion, also outstanding talents in the entire mansion, nourished by the mansion and restricted by the mansion, their respective families long rooted in Black Stone City.

Without these constraints, where could the Divinity Transformation Dao Lords not go?

But at this moment, they could only bow their heads.

"Splat~" The four immediately severed an arm each.

"Foolishness!" In the next moment, Li Jizhou watched the scene before him, rebuking loudly.

"You all at the Divinity Transformation Realm are great talents of our Jiuli, how could you disgrace yourselves so? Li Qingyun, is this how you act as the Crown Prince, bullying and oppressing, thus harming our Jiuli’s fine young men?"

"..." Li Qingyun was instantly stupefied; he looked at Li Jizhou with trepidation, trying to see what he really wanted.

"Humph! Paraded through the streets, I shall let the people of Black Stone City properly discipline this disobedient descendant!" Li Jizhou snorted coldly, ordering Hong Luan.

Hong Luan smiled, using magical power to bind Li Qingyun and lift him high into the air.

At the same time, a layer of water curtain shone behind Li Qingyun.

"Disobedient descendant Li Qingyun is incorrigibly deplorable, with heinous crimes, Grand Ancestor presides for the people; grievances can be voiced, vengeance pursued, divine soul transmissions can be used to speak grievances!"

In this moment, Li Qingyun finally panicked.

Truly going to parade him through the streets, and even letting the people voice grievances.

Even if this matter passes in the future, how will Li Qingyun maintain dignity in Black Stone City? Let alone inheriting Prince Yun’s position.

"Grand Ancestor, your grandson was wrong, your grandson knows it’s wrong, I beg you to let me go this time, your grandson will never dare again."

Li Jizhou, however, was unmoved, even instructing Hong Luan to seal his mouth, immediately leading Hong Luan out.

Li Qingyun became anxious, hastily signaling the four guards with his eyes.

However, the guards had just suffered the pain of severed arms, and unable to discern Li Qingyun’s true intentions, were momentarily caught in a dilemma.

Li Qingyun, sealed in magical power, sealed in divine soul, even with his mouth sealed, was directly taken out of the Black Stone Workshop.

The normally prestigious Crown Prince of Yun, Li Qingyun, seeing the glances cast from all over the street, suddenly flushed with embarrassment and anger, and his gaze towards Li Jizhou was filled with malice.

"Grievances voiced, vengeance pursued!" Suddenly, a sound amplified by divine power rang out, heard clearly throughout Black Stone City.

Subsequently, the water curtain gradually elevated, seeking to allow the entire city to see.

"Smack!" In Hong Luan’s hand, a black long whip materialized, without warning striking towards Li Qingyun.

"Disobedient descendant, villainous deeds abound, deserves punishment!"

Li Qingyun was wearing Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure robes; with Hong Luan’s cultivation, it was difficult to damage them, so Li Jizhou ordered her to strike Li Qingyun’s face.

Without magical protection, a bloody whip mark immediately appeared on Li Qingyun’s face.

With his mouth sealed, he could only let out a pained whine.

"Disobedient descendant, who preys upon the populace, deserves punishment!"

"Smack!"

...

The sound of rebuke reverberated all along the way, with each rebuke accompanied by the sound of the whip.
