The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

Chapter 48 Seeking the Divine Jade, Venturing into the Emperor's Tomb!

Murong Yan ordered the Blood Eagle Guards to announce to the surrounding people what Daoist Wenxin had done.

The Qingshan Taoist Temple has been reduced to ruins, leaving behind only countless curses and scorn for posterity!

After everyone left, debris and rubble tumbled down from the bottom of the large crater in the ruins. Suddenly, a charred hand reached out and slowly crawled out a mangled, charred, and mangled "corpse" that barely retained a human shape.

"How utterly despicable! Who destroyed my Ghost-Raising Formation?"

"This is... the power of heavenly lightning?"

"That good-for-nothing Wenxin deserves to die! Let me see who dares to ruin my plans!"

The charred corpse closed its eyes.

He saw his last moments before he died: a young woman with grotesque burns on her face, disfigured and ugly, staring at him with cold, sharp, and ruthless eyes: "Remember, the person who killed you is named Jiang Ling!"

The corpse opened its eyes and muttered to itself, "Jiang Ling? Celestial Master? When did the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) have such a person?"

The corpse looked towards the imperial city and began to walk...

……

Qin Tianjian.

After sending Zaizai, Baobao, and Zhuiyue back to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Jiang Ling came here alone.

"Second Miss! No! The Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's Mansion no longer exists." Ye Tianxing gently patted her mouth.

He stepped forward with a smile and changed his address, calling out, "Jiang Ling, what brings you here?"

Jiang Ling: "I'm looking for the Imperial Advisor."

"Alright! Come in quickly! My master has been waiting for you! He... Jiang Ling, you'll know when you see him." As Ye Tianxing spoke, his face fell, and he became dejected and sad.

Jiang Ling ignored him.

Jiang Ling went straight to the Imperial Preceptor's residence and immediately smelled a pungent medicinal odor.

She looked at the long couch by the window.

After a few days apart, the Imperial Preceptor's hair and beard had turned a lifeless gray-white. His skin was more wrinkled, and many age spots had appeared on his face. He rested his hands on his stomach, closed his eyes, and breathed weakly.

Ye Tianxing quietly wiped away her tears, choking back sobs as she said, "My master..."

"I'm going to die." Jiang Ling said, and walked straight over.

Ye Tianxing, standing behind him, choked back tears, her eyes wide. Did they really have to be so blunt?! It's so hurtful!

"Heh...heh...Fellow Cultivator Jiang, you've arrived."

The Imperial Advisor opened his eyes as soon as she approached.

His eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and he let out a weak, painful groan as he asked her with difficulty, "Have you changed your mind?"

What idea?

Can’t it be!

Ye Tianxing strode over, staring intently at Jiang Ling. Unfortunately, Jiang Ling wore a gray-blue veil, so only her cold, indifferent eyes were visible, devoid of any emotion.

Jiang Ling's red lips parted slightly, and she asked him in an icy voice, "Tell me first, where is the Divine Jade?"

The Imperial Advisor slowly shook his head. "Heh... Fellow Cultivator Jiang, this is not how transactions are conducted."

"Okay, I swear!"

Jiang Ling held up three fingers. "As long as you tell me where the Divine Jade is, I, Jiang Ling, will definitely marry Regent Murong Yan. I will never go back on my word! Heaven is my witness!"

"Okay! Okay, okay! Cough cough cough—"

"Master, please don't get agitated, please have some water!"

Ye Tianxing brought the water over, but the Imperial Advisor waved his hand repeatedly, telling him not to block the way.

The Imperial Advisor suddenly regained his senses and sat up excitedly, his old face beaming with joy. "Fellow Cultivator Jiang, I'm afraid I won't live to see your wedding day. In advance, I congratulate you on your happy marriage!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the Divine Jade? If you dare to lie to me, I'll send you to the underworld right now!" Jiang Ling was in a bad mood and threatened him in a cold tone.

She keeps her word!

The Imperial Advisor pointed in a direction, "I will have Tianxing take you there."

Imperial tombs.

The majestic and imposing mountain range resembles a giant dragon lying across the land.

Since its founding, dozens of emperors of the Yan Kingdom have been laid to rest here after their deaths. This is the imperial mausoleum of the Yan Kingdom, and also the location of its dragon vein.

The tomb is located inside the mountain, and there is only one main entrance.

Ye Tianxing brought Jiang Ling here, touched the tip of his nose, and explained apologetically, "The divine jade was buried in the imperial tomb as a burial item for the late emperor."

My master is so unfair!

They know where the divine jade is, but they can't get it at all!

Ye Tianxing was thinking to himself when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Ling forming hand seals out of the corner of his eye. He jumped up in fright, "Jiang Ling, what are you doing? Don't do anything rash! The Emperor's Tomb is guarded by a grand formation set up by the First Master of All Ages, and by dragon energy. You can't break in!"

"Get out of the way! Stay out of the way!"

Jiang Ling waved her hand, sending Ye Tianxing flying.

Her eyes were cold and sharp, her gaze fixed intently on the array on the white jade dragon gate. Jiang Ling continuously formed hand seals and gestures, finally pointing out with her fingers: "Seven Stars Unlock, Activate the Array!"

The array engraved on the door immediately came to life.

Ye Tianxing got up from the ground, dumbfounded and incredulous. Could Jiang Ling really open the emperor's tomb?

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Hearing the commotion, Ye Tianxing turned around and screamed in terror, "Jiang Ling, be careful! The tomb guardian beast is alive!"

"Roar—" The roar of the tomb guardian beast shook the heavens.

……

"Who dares to trespass on the imperial mausoleum!"

When the imperial guards arrived, they found only a broken and damaged stone statue of a tomb guardian beast on the ground in front of the gate.

The other tomb guardian beast, having lost a hoof, roared angrily at them before leaping back onto the stone pier to continue its guard duty.

The guards gasped: "Quickly! Notify the royal family!"

"Men! Increase patrols and search! The person can't have gone far!"

In the mountains and forests outside the emperor's tomb.

Ye Tianxing, supporting Jiang Ling, was sweating profusely with anxiety. "Run! If we get caught, my master and the Zhenbei General's Mansion will be in trouble!"

"puff--"

Jiang Ling's body trembled and she vomited blood.

Jiang Ling pushed him away and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She took a deep breath: "I used a talisman to erase my aura; they can't catch up."

"Phew! That's good! Are you alright?" Ye Tianxing looked at her cautiously.

Jiang Ling pressed her chest, her face pale and unsightly. "It's just a minor internal injury, nothing serious."

"You've vomited blood! And you say it's not a big problem?"

Ye Tianxing's eyes widened, but after being coldly glanced at by Jiang Ling, he immediately stepped back and chuckled dryly, "Heh. Yeah, you even crippled one of the tomb guardian beasts, you're awesome! If this gets out of hand, security will be tight from now on, and you can forget about breaking in again!"

"Jiang Ling, you're already so powerful, why bother trying to steal the divine jade? Do you want to become an immortal?"

Jiang Ling straightened up and took two pills to heal her injuries.

Her face was pale and cold, her eyes dark as she explained, "I'm not doing this for myself."

"Hiss! Is it for your sweetheart? Is it that important that you'd risk your life for him?" Ye Tianxing stared at her with a mixture of shock and gossip.

Jiang Ling used a cleansing talisman to remove the blood from her body, tidied her appearance, and strode out. Her voice was calm and firm: "She is more important than my beloved; she is the person I would protect with my life."

I love it so much!

Ye Tianxing was deeply shocked.

So touching!

He immediately chased after him, "Jiang Ling, actually you could wait until His Majesty dies, then bury his body in the imperial mausoleum, and you could secretly follow him in. Wouldn't that be safer and simpler!"

"Alright, when will the emperor die?"

"Well, His Majesty is afraid of death and has been seeking Taoist priests to refine elixirs to save his life all these years. You'll probably have to wait many years."
