Transmigration begins with archery training

"That evil spirit again?!"

Seeing this, Nie Yuan said with a worried expression, "Senior Brother, you must never continue practicing that evil path! That wicked thing disturbs your mind day and night. If this continues, you will fall into demonic possession sooner or later!"

"It's too late."

After about a cup of tea, the symptoms gradually subsided, and Lü Ji said with relief, "From the moment I established communication with him, it was already too late. There is never a way back in the path of evil gods."

"Eldest brother?!"

Nie Yuan's pupils widened, his tone filled with the anger of someone who had been deceived: "Are you really going to become a demon?"

"Third brother, cough cough..."

Lü Ji did not answer directly, but sat on the bumpy carriage, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window: "To be honest, I still don't think I was wrong about what happened back then."

"I do not understand.

"In this world, what do I care about the life and death of everyone except my fellow disciples and relatives? Why should I care? The law of the jungle is the truth of this world."

"Keng——"

Nie Yuan, who had always been by his senior brother's side, drew his sword upon hearing this: "Boss! If you use this as an excuse to fall into demonic possession, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Lü Ji ignored him and continued, "But I respect my master."

"Since Master says it's wrong, then let it be wrong."

“I, Lü Ji, can swear that in this life, I will only kill the enemy and not kill any living beings, so you can rest assured.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, Nie Yuan slowly lowered his longsword and warned, "But you must also understand that the evil god path can bewitch people's minds. A few days ago, I found some books about the incense god path."

It's written very clearly on it.

"When you cultivate your faith and deity practice to a certain level, you must follow the path of whichever 'god' you worship and serve that 'god' forever!"

"The reason why the evil way of gods is 'evil' is because the 'gods' they worship are often bloodthirsty and take living beings as their blood, and this cannot be changed!"

"After that."

"Evil gods can even directly control your mind, leaving you with no choice!"

"Senior Brother!"

"It's not too late to turn back now, try to obtain incense and sacred objects to cleanse your spirit and destroy your cultivation as an evil god."

"enough."

Lü Ji did not listen any further: "I have my own path to follow, there is no need for further words."

Knowing he couldn't dissuade him, Nie Yuan sighed, stamped his foot, and turned to leave.

The carriage fell silent, with only the sounds of horses' hooves and wheels grinding through the mud. The side effects of the evil god's path struck again, and Lü Ji trembled in pain, but he did not utter a sound. He simply closed his eyes and focused his inner self. On his spiritual platform, there was a distorted shrine, hazy, evil, and bewitching.

This time, it took a full half incense stick's time for everything to gradually calm down.

Covered in cold sweat, Lü Ji suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the illusory and distorted face of the god before him, a disdainful and ferocious smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

……

Beijing.

Zhongjue Hall.

The regent prince, the King of Qin, sat on the main seat, enjoying the feeling of commanding the court.

"Report——"

A eunuch rushed into the hall in a panic.

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"Ten days ago! General Lü and Chen Sanshi were defeated and seriously wounded outside Liangzhou City. With no other choice, the Xuanwu and the other three battalions had to withdraw from Liangzhou!"

"Now, both Liang and You provinces have fallen into the hands of the White Robe!"

"What!?"

"So Lü Ji is also a good-for-nothing?!"

The King of Qin was furious: "Didn't everyone say he practiced some kind of evil magic? He practiced evil magic, yet he couldn't even beat someone who practiced martial arts!"

"quick!"

"Find a way to get the message to His Majesty, who is in seclusion!"

"Only His Majesty can summon the immortal master!"

……

Kunlun Mountains.

A blessed place.

This cave is built against the mountain and hidden behind the waterfall. Everything inside the cave is carved from the mountain stone.

But right there on the hard rocky ground, there grew a small sapling, about half a person's height and as thick as a woman's wrist. A rich spiritual energy emanated from it, but many of the originally green leaves on its branches had begun to turn yellow, and it looked like it was about to wither and die.

At the same time, the capital was in turmoil.

News of Lü Ji's defeat and the fall of Liangzhou also reached the cave dwellings in this area.

Due to his injuries, the Longqing Emperor's complexion was not good, and his face was ashen.

"Your Majesty, your health is of utmost importance."

The other party did not speak, but Huang Hong could feel the overwhelming wrath of the dragon.

Within a short month, first the White Robe rebelled, then the Prince of Yan joined forces with the Immortal Seeking Pavilion to assassinate the emperor, and the Princes of Qin and Qi were only concerned with vying for power and profit, turning the entire court into a murky mess and causing chaos throughout the world. Anyone would be furious.

"The child does not teach, the father too."

With his eyes closed, the Longqing Emperor was clearly criticizing himself, yet everyone within the blessed land felt as if they could hardly breathe: "Over the years, I have focused on cultivation and governing the country, completely forgetting to properly cultivate the heir apparent. I have failed my ancestors."

This incident.

It's one thing for Prince Cao Zhi of Yan to join forces with Xunxianlou.

What is most infuriating is that the King of Qin and the King of Qi were two fools.

He actually listened to slander and attempted to assassinate Prince Cao Huan of Jin, forcing the Prince of Jin to leave the capital with the Prince of Yan, causing a great uproar throughout the land and ruining a promising plan.

"Your Majesty, things have come to this."

Huang Hong, who had served his master closely for decades, understood his thoughts best: "His Majesty is going into seclusion, so the affairs of the court can only be handled by them. Fortunately, there are also immortal masters from the Shengyun Sect to help. Judging by the days, they should be arriving soon."

Not long after the words fell.

The sound of the waterfall could be heard from outside.

Before long, three cultivators arrived at the cave.

"Dao Xuan Sanren, a formation master of the Shengyun Sect, greets His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng."

"Ling Yun of the Ling family of Tianshui Continent, representing the Ling family, has come to pay his respects to you, fellow Daoist."

The last person.

It was Li He, a cultivator from the Li family who had met the emperor long ago. He looked at the old emperor with a mocking expression: "Fellow Daoist Cao Kai, if you had listened to my advice earlier and eliminated the White-Robed Three Stones, there would be no chaos today."

"Haha~"

Emperor Longqing was not angry, but said awkwardly, "Next, I will have to trouble you fellow Daoists to perform your duties and get through the current difficulties. Huang Hong, I will continue my seclusion. You can arrange the rest."

"Don't worry, Master, I understand."

Huang Hong gestured for them to leave and led the group of immortal masters outside.

"My Ling family patriarch has personally gone to Mangshan to guard it, and the ancestral lineage will absolutely not fall into the hands of the Luoye Valley bandits."

Ling Yun calmly said, "And I will also join Senior Li He to lead other cultivators to help you suppress the rebellion in the north and resist foreign invasion."

"Fellow immortal masters, are you confident?"

Huang Hong calmly reminded him, "That white-robed Chen Sanshi is a master of warfare. In just a few years, he has fought in the north and south, and is virtually invincible. In particular, he possesses a 'Heavenly Book Formation' that can influence celestial phenomena, making it unpredictable and dangerous. We must be wary of him."
