Chapter 134 "Heavenly Yin and Earthly Yang: The Great Ice and Flame Qi"
……
These two scriptures were originally obtained by Lin Tian when he razed the Shaolin Temple's scripture pavilion in the world of Divine Condor Heroes. They are of the same rank as the Nine Yin Manual, belonging to the same category of purple-level martial arts. In the thousand-year history of Shaolin, only a handful of people have been able to master both of them—only Lin Tian, with his abundant resources, dared to use them in this way.
With his index finger tapping the little girl's forehead, a vast amount of information flowed into her like a stream entering the sea, quietly pouring in.
After a brief pause, he added "Lingxi Finger" and "Yuanrong Golden Finger"—after all, "Yijin" and "Xisui" only cultivate internal energy and do not involve offense or defense, so he couldn't let her venture into the martial world empty-handed.
Seeing the little girl close her eyes and concentrate on the martial arts principles she had just learned, Lin Tian finally looked up at Zi Nu.
Before she could finish speaking, Zi Nu quietly said, "I also want to learn the 'Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique'."
Lin Tian was slightly taken aback, and tentatively asked, "Could it be... just for eternal youth?"
"Otherwise what?" she retorted, her voice light but carrying an unyielding sharpness.
"..."
He was speechless for a moment, and a black line appeared on his forehead. He could only smile bitterly and change his words: "Miss Zi Nu is proficient in the medicine of rare stones and the art of smelting. Her internal strength is also intertwined with yin and yang, and is unpredictable. I guess that even if you are not a direct descendant of the Yin Yang School, you must have a very deep connection with them."
Zi Nu's body trembled slightly, and a sharp pain flashed in her eyes, as if an invisible needle had pierced an old wound.
Lin Tian's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped talking, smoothly changing the subject: "You have already reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, and your Yin-Yang internal energy is perfectly natural. If you insist on switching to the 'Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique,' you will inevitably have to waste all your cultivation and start building your foundation from scratch—such a price is simply not worth it. Therefore, I have chosen an internal energy technique for you from the 'Great Compassion Ode of the Interplay of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang,' called the 'Great Ice and Flame Qi of Heavenly Yin and Earthly Yang.' It specializes in cultivating Yin and Yang energies, which perfectly matches your original internal energy source, so you can start without wasting any of your cultivation." He paused, then added, "Moreover, reaching the legendary realm in martial arts and preserving youth and prolonging life is merely a matter of lifting a finger."
He feared she was still fixated on that martial art.
In fact, "Heavenly Yin Earthly Yang Great Ice and Flame Qi" is also an orange-level ultimate skill. In terms of power, it is comparable to "Eternal Youth and Longevity Skill". Both can reach the legendary fourth level.
"Really?!" Zi Nu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a cold star had suddenly ignited.
"Absolutely true." Lin Tian nodded, then flipped his palm and gathered his energy. "I'll also teach you a matching martial art—the 'Heavenly Annihilation and Earthly Destruction Great Purple Sun Hand'!"
His index finger tapped her forehead again, and the two unique skills, like spring rain, silently seeped into her sea of consciousness.
The news of the sudden death of Han Army General Ji Wuye could not be concealed in the end—within just a few days, it spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of Xinzheng.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, King An of Han was the last person to learn of this news.
Royal Palace Hall.
"My great general... is dead?! I'm the last to hear about it?! Well, very well indeed!" King Han sat on his throne, his face ashen, his voice low and menacing, each word dripping with rage and a chilling fighting spirit.
He was furious—such a momentous event had been covered up at every turn, and no one dared to be the first to report it to him.
He was terrified—Ji Wuye had been operating in Xinzheng for many years, holding military power and secretly controlling the martial arts world. If he could eliminate even him silently, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for this man to take his life? The thought sent a chill down his spine.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the General's sudden death is shrouded in mystery. We have not yet investigated the details, and dare not disturb Your Majesty's ears." The Prime Minister Zhang Kai stepped forward with a stiff upper lip, his tone steady, but he could not hide his unease.
"And now? Your Excellency, have you found out who did this?!" King Han An's brows furrowed, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing straight at him.
"This..." Zhang Kai's throat tightened, and a light sweat appeared on his forehead—he had been busy these past few days installing his cronies and seizing military vacancies, so how could he have had the mind to investigate how Ji Wuye died?
With a quick glance, Zhang Kai spotted Han Fei standing to the side. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned to Han Fei and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is currently the Minister of Justice, in charge of criminal cases. If this case is to be investigated, he should be in charge."
Before the words were even finished, the blame had already been shifted.
Who killed Ji Wuye? Han Fei knew better than anyone. But did he dare to say it? Not even a fraction! Not even ten times the courage, not even a hundred times the courage, and he would never dare to utter Lin Tian's name.
As expected, King Han An's gaze suddenly fell upon him. Han Fei immediately stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Father, you are wise. Although I hold the position of Minister of Justice, judging cases requires a report, a reason for the case, and a whistleblower. Regarding the death of the Grand General, since no one came to the palace to report it, nor did you give any permission, I have no authority to investigate without your permission. Furthermore, I have just returned from my studies in Sanghai, and my knowledge and experience are limited. I only heard about this matter for the first time today before entering the palace."
Every word is reasonable and watertight, exonerating himself completely.
Zhang Kai's eyelids twitched as he listened—it was clearly Han Fei who first dispatched spies and was the fastest to take over Ji Wuye's old troops, so where did this "lack of information" come from? It was clearly a blatant lie!
"Could it be that not a single official in the entire court can tell me—who exactly killed the Grand General?!" King Han An laughed in fury, then suddenly raised his hand and overturned the rosewood table in front of him, causing the jade tablet to roll away and the inkstone to shatter.
The entire hall fell silent, the ministers bowed their heads and held their breath, even their breathing was extremely soft.
"Your Majesty, I have been investigating day and night for the past few days and have identified the real culprit..." A cold voice suddenly rang out, and Marquis Bai Yifei in blood-red robes slowly stepped forward, his black armor gleaming, his expression indifferent.
"Who is it? Tell me quickly!" King Han An asked urgently.
Han Fei's face darkened—this is bad! Bai Yifei knew very well that Ji Wuye was killed by Brother Lin himself! If he revealed this in court, his father would definitely mobilize troops to capture him, and Brother Lin, with his fiery temper, would likely cause a huge uproar…
"The culprit is none other than the Crimson-Eyebrowed Dragon Snake." Bai Yifei's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.
Red-browed Dragon Snake? Han Fei's heart stirred slightly, and he subconsciously thought that this was Brother Lin's new name... But the next moment, he realized that something was wrong.
The moment the words "Red-browed Dragon and Snake" were uttered, King Han's face turned ashen, his brows furrowed, and even the usually composed Fourth Prince's fingertips twitched slightly.
They all know this name?!
That was clearly not Brother Lin—Bai Yifei was covering for him! But why protect him? A thought flashed through Han Fei's mind, and he suddenly remembered that day when he came out of the General's Mansion, Lin Tian had mentioned with a smile, "I got along quite well with Bai Yifei and Emerald Tiger."
It seems they really are having a very good time...
"Red...Eyebrow Dragon Serpent?!" King Han An exclaimed in a low voice, his body going limp as he slumped back onto his throne, his lips pale. "He...wasn't he already executed? How...how could he reappear in Xinzheng?!"
Red-browed dragon and snake? Han Fei's eyes flickered slightly—who exactly was this person who could frighten his father to such an extent?
"Your Majesty, I captured the Crimson-Eyebrowed Dragon Serpent back then and handed him over to the Grand General for disposal. As for what happened to him afterward... I have no idea." Bai Yifei lowered his eyes, his tone calm and unwavering.
