Chapter 499 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
After helping Daqian perfect the method for establishing the Immortal Dynasty and Divine Kingdom, Li Muyang was inevitably invited by Liu Yan to attend a palace banquet. After a night of revelry, he attended a family banquet at the imperial palace the next day.
Yes, Liu Yan called his whole family over.
That is, he summoned his empress, concubines, princes and princesses to come and get acquainted with Li Muyang.
These are all people Liu Yan is relatively close to.
At Liu Yan's suggestion, Li Muyang also brought his three women to the family dinner.
Even though they were used to all sorts of strange and unusual ingredients in their small world, with the exceptional culinary skills of Li Muyang and the Rat King Xiaomi, this royal family banquet still made the three women a little uneasy. As soon as they made a move, palace maids or eunuchs would come up to serve them.
Even Li Muyang was a little uncomfortable, after all, they were not used to being served. Even though he had an emperor, he regarded all related memories as dross and cleared them away!
Seeing this, Liu Yan waved his hand to signal the unrelated people to leave and stop causing trouble!
His original intention was to use this incident to win over and get closer to Li Muyang and his group, not to take the opportunity to show off!
In front of Li Muyang, and given Liu Yan's prior statements, whether it was the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, or the Princes and Princesses, they all appeared to be a harmonious family.
It is also related to age. Liu Yan is in his prime and is a martial artist in the Longevity Realm, with an extremely long lifespan. His eldest prince, who is also the Crown Prince of Daqian, is only a teenager with a gentle and refined personality. He is also practicing martial arts and cultivating! Despite his young age, his realm is not low, and he is already a half-step Grandmaster.
That is, Bai Yuxiu's initial level of skill when she first entered the martial arts world.
If nothing unexpected happens, it seems unlikely that this crown prince will ever inherit the throne. He might even outlive Liu Yan.
After finishing his meal, Li Muyang didn't rush to take his leave. Instead, his expression turned serious, and he said to Liu Yan, "Your Majesty, if I may ask, I have some things to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
Liu Yan had a little wine, and it was definitely not ordinary wine; it was more like a spirit brew. Even a high-level cultivator would get drunk if he drank too much. He was in high spirits and didn't notice Li Muyang's strange behavior. He waved his hand and said, "Please speak freely, sir!"
Since the other party had spoken, Li Muyang didn't hesitate and waved his hand, startling Liu Yan awake. What was going on?
Others, whose cultivation levels were not high enough, could not sense it, but Liu Yan, as the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and the supreme ruler of the Immortal Dynasty and Divine Kingdom, naturally possessed extraordinary perception! He thus noticed that Li Muyang's actions seemed to be drawing out some kind of power from the palace.
Meanwhile, in a palace somewhere, an old woman suddenly frowned, then her face turned terrified. Without hesitation, she tried to escape using a magic technique, but she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed to the ground, half-dead.
The other palace maids and eunuchs around her were so frightened that they all kept their distance from her! How could she suddenly vomit blood and faint?
Li Muyang, still at the dinner table, looked at the strange black energy he had just pulled out and purified it with a wave of his hand. He then said to Emperor Liu, "Your Majesty, your palace seems to have been cursed by some being... well, it can't be called poison, but rather an abstract force from the darkness!"
"May I ask, if you are unaware of how long it has been since a new child was born?"
As he spoke, Li Muyang looked around at the people attending the family banquet: an empress, three imperial concubines, a crown prince, two princes, and two princesses.
However, their ages were not far apart; the eldest prince and the youngest princess were only three years apart.
It's clear that Liu Yan has no problem in that area, and may even be more powerful!
And yet, after all these years, he has not had any other children? In fact, if you calculate the timeline, this timing is exactly related to his entry into the palace!
This cursed object, placed in the palace at some unknown time and by someone, has prevented new life from being born within the palace! Most importantly, it is subtly damaging the body!
Liu Yan has cultivation, so it's not a big problem for him. This bit of curse power has no effect since Li Muyang helped him perfect his humanity. But his empress, concubines, and the children still living in the palace...
"boom!"
Enraged by Li Muyang's words, Liu Yan nearly smashed the table with his fist, his face turning ashen! Even the others were incredulous and furious!
It's well known that the Emperor of Daqian always paid great attention to his image in front of Li Muyang, but this time he completely lost control of his emotions! This shows just how angry he was!
Seeing Liu Yan's anger, Li Muyang waved his hand and comforted him, saying, "Your Majesty, you should first find out who cast the curse. I have broken the curse, and she has already fallen into a coma due to the backlash. Your Majesty can send someone to arrest her. There are also a few places that Your Majesty needs to send people to clean up... those are the objects that carried the curse."
"Although I have broken the curse, it is still bad luck to keep such a vessel around, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible!"
"Phew... I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir. Thank you for making this trip!" Liu Yan forced a smile, then turned and shouted in a cold, piercing voice towards the outside of the palace, "Guards! Come with me to arrest them!"
Li Muyang naturally had no objections. Since the matter had already been exposed, it was necessary to clean up the mess that he had made clear.
Before long, the half-dead old woman who cast the curse was imprisoned by the Imperial Guards, and the hidden objects that carried the curse were also disposed of.
“Your Majesty, this curse will still have an effect even if the spiritual energy has not recovered, it will just not be as effective as it is now.” Li Muyang said leisurely, “This is all I can see for now. I will not interfere further in the investigation, for fear of causing trouble.”
He had no desire to get involved in any palace intrigue; even the mild-mannered Liu Yan would lose his temper over such a thing! After all, judging from Li Muyang's words, this curse probably didn't just affect him alone! It might even be related to his father and elder brother!
Can you not be angry?
Based on Li Muyang's intuition, it might involve a royal scandal, so naturally he didn't want to get involved in this mess. The fact that he was willing to remind Liu Yan was already a favor.
Even if Liu Yan asked him to help with the investigation, Li Muyang would definitely refuse. Of course, given the current attitude of the Emperor of Daqian, he wouldn't do that either.
Liu Yan didn't say much in response to Li Muyang's blunt statement, but just nodded with a wry smile and said, "Sir, you've worked hard. Fortunately, I invited you to the palace this time, otherwise... sigh!"
He couldn't possibly continue letting Li Muyang investigate this matter. Putting aside whether Li Muyang was willing or not, Liu Yan was hesitant to trust anyone so easily, given the potential for such a thing to involve a royal scandal! It would damage his reputation if word got out!
Old Li was the Imperial Advisor, and strictly speaking, he was Liu Yan's teacher, not his subordinate, much less a court official!
Li Muyang's voluntary withdrawal saved him a lot of trouble!
Having brought up this matter, Li Muyang and the three women did not linger and quickly left the Daqian Imperial Palace, while Liu Yan, furious, went to summon the ministers.
This situation is already considered good. At least from Li Muyang's observation, no other major problems were found. It can be said that the imperial palace of Daqian is relatively clean.
However, this matter will most likely still cause a bloodbath... Of course, this has little to do with Li Muyang.
This is ultimately a matter for the Great Qian imperial family, at least for now.
The right thing to do is to quietly slip away with the three women.
However, Li Muyang still silently watched the development of the Daqian Imperial Palace.
The matter of witchcraft was too far-reaching, but Liu Yan was determined to investigate it thoroughly. In a short time, heads rolled. Officials and imperial relatives who were usually high and mighty all passed away peacefully as long as they were found to be implicated in the crime.
However, these were all matters of the imperial court, and the common people were merely bystanders, with very few occasionally getting involved.
Fortunately, this person is relatively mild-mannered, and given his current high level of control over the Great Qian Dynasty, there are few cases of injustice when only the ringleader is executed.
Players have certainly learned something new. They originally thought Daqian was a relaxing map, but they never expected to see such a scene.
Before this matter had even come to a complete end, a new storm was once again raging in the world of martial arts.
Having just returned from a trip to the Dou Qi Continent, Li Muyang was summoned by his clone, and upon looking up, he was stunned.
In the distance, on the horizon, a magnificent and tall building appeared. Through perception, it was determined that this thing was not located in this direction, but rather that no matter where it was viewed from, it was always in this direction and at this distance. Without the corresponding means to remove its barrier, it could never be reached; it was essentially a concept.
This tall and magnificent building is a standard ancient Chinese gate tower, and the plaque on it is inscribed with characters written in innate Dao patterns.
Coincidentally, Li Muyang knew it.
Nantianmen.
This door is just a door, yet it leads directly to a world! Or rather, to the heavens!
With just the Southern Heavenly Gate, the concentration of spiritual energy in this world has increased dramatically! Li Muyang estimates that it might be time to loosen the restrictions on players!
This means that players can now cultivate immortality in this world! They are no longer limited to martial arts cultivation.
"The Southern Heavenly Gate has appeared? No, it's the Heavenly Court?" Li Muyang looked at the building in the sky and muttered to himself. It must be the Heavenly Court of this world, and it's already in a dilapidated state.
There are no living creatures left inside; it's been overrun by destructive creatures... Hiss!
Li Muyang gasped sharply. Good heavens! This thing is full of scourge!
Players are in an uproar on the chat platform! People around the world are also arguing fiercely in the administrator group!
When Li Muyang opened the document, he found that Emperor Taizong and the First Emperor were already preparing to go and were gathering people.
Emperor Liu Yan of the Great Qian Dynasty was no exception, after all, he was one of the few at the peak of the Mahayana Realm, making him a high-end combat force in this world.
Li Muyang didn't say anything, but silently closed the system, then vanished instantly and teleported towards the South Heavenly Gate.
