In the palace of the Longshan Empire, in a spacious compound, a thin young man with a height of only one meter four was wielding a black knife vigorously.

The wielding broadsword is chaotic, and if you look closely, there is a trace of trajectory to be found, one will be as slow as hair flying in the air, and the other will be as fast as an arrow from the string, and it will disappear in a flash.

I don't know how long it took, the young man's resolute and serious face was already covered with sweat, but the atmosphere of the knife-wielding action did not diminish at all.

Until the young man screamed, his body suddenly rose into the air, and his hands clenched the big knife that was not in harmony with his body, and slashed towards the ground in front of him, and a wisp of knife qi shot out from the tip of the knife in an instant, leaving an inch-long crack on the ground.

The young man landed on the ground, holding a big knife, panting quickly, looking at the inch-long knife marks on the ground in front of him, and his resolute face, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe! It's been eight years, and I've finally practiced sword qi. The boy muttered to himself.

The young man's name is Qianxun Fantasy, and he is the ninth son of the Emperor Longshan and the ninth prince in everyone's mouth.

Of course, it is a great honor to be the prince of an empire, and it is also the object of envy and envy in everyone's eyes.

However, Chihiro Fantasy is not like this, saying that it is just a false name for the Nine Emperors, and compared with the previous eight princes, he is just a half-sibling outsider.

The mother of the eight princes is the imperial concubine that everyone worships, and her own mother still doesn't know where she is.

Every time I think of this, a sad chill appears in Chihiro's eyes, and she misses her mother, whom she has never met.

He remembered that when he was a child, the eight princes often laughed at him for not having a mother, and even often laughed at him in private for being a little bastard, he was angry and helpless, and his heart was lonely and desolate at night, even if he was a lowly nurse, sometimes he would be harsh at him.

And all this, the Emperor of Longshan, has never turned a blind eye, in the past seventeen years, in his memory, his father took the initiative to see him no more than a handful of times.

Until he was nine years old, a gray-haired old man found him and asked him if he wanted to see his mother, at that moment his nose was sore, his eyes were hazy, he nodded desperately, and tears the size of beans involuntarily dripped downward.

I shouted desperately in my heart: "I want to think about my mother!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and left two cultivation cheats and said: "If you want to see your mother, then cultivate these two cheats well, before the age of twenty, you can practice sword qi, and only then will there be a chance of seeing your mother." ”

Since then, the nine-year-old Chihiro has been surprised and ridiculed by others, looking at the eyes of idiots, crazy cultivation, and now eight years have passed, and at the age of seventeen, he has finally practiced sword qi, and he is nicknamed: Nine Maniacs.

And he already knew that the old man who gave him the cultivation secret book was his father, the personal guard of the Emperor Longshan.

Originally, he had always had a great opinion about the Emperor of Longshan, and after knowing the identity of the old man, he had even more hatred for his father.

Everyone in the Tianwu Continent knows that before the age of sixteen is the most taboo age for practicing martial arts, not only has poor understanding, but also has an extremely impact on the development of the body, so as long as you are not forced to be helpless, you will not choose to practice martial arts before the age of sixteen, which is completely an act of self-harm.

This is not the most serious, the most serious thing is that practicing martial arts since childhood will not only affect physical development, but also affect one's own talent, and this life will have no chance with the innate realm, and the life will stop at the acquired realm, which is the result of the summary of the predecessors of the martial artists in the Tianwu Continent and the past dynasties.

Qianxun practiced martial arts at the age of nine, and now he is seventeen years old, but his height is only one meter four, and the Nine Emperor Princes of the dignified Longshan Empire are only one meter four tall, this alone is a big stain, not to mention the congenital hopelessness.

And all of this was in his ignorant and ignorant youth, and he was taken advantage of by others and easily succeeded, and the person who succeeded was obviously his father, the Emperor of Longshan!

This indisputable fact, the consequences of cultivating at a young age, made Qianxun even more obsessed with cultivation, because now he not only wanted to get news of his mother, but also asked him personally, why did his ruthless father treat him like this, he could kill himself if he disliked himself, and why tortured himself silently.

Quickly adjusting his thoughts, Chihiro took a deep breath, put the black big knife into the sheath behind his back, and slowly walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

"The sword qi has been completed, and it is time to ask for clarification. ”

............

The concubines and princes of the imperial palace are all deep in the harem, so it is not too far from the emperor's bedroom.

Chihiro's immature and handsome face has been practicing sword qi for eight years because of his inspirational cultivation of sword qi since he was a child, so his face is full of fortitude at a young age, and his long black hair is tied into a bunch at will and placed behind him, and he walks on this spacious avenue in a white robe, swaying in the wind.

The only thing that is incongruous is that with a height of one meter and four meters, he is carrying a big knife that is more than half his height, so that the palace guards, who have always been strict with themselves, can't help but look sideways.

Soon Qianxun Fantasy came, the tall and majestic court hall, in front of the hall is ninety-nine jade steps, which looks spectacular with a hint of beauty.

"See the Nine Emperors!" said the guards on both sides of the stairs, kneeling down on one knee.

"I want to see the Emperor!" said Chihiro.

"Please wait a moment. After speaking, the guard turned around and stepped on the jade steps to walk up step by step.

Seeing this, even if you are a prince, you can only wait quietly, as the supreme place of the Longshan Empire, you must have absolute specifications and seriousness.

After a while, a high-pitched voice came from the high platform.

"The Nine Emperor Princes have an audience. ”

Chihiro heard this and began to walk down the steps, and the guard of the retribution began to walk down.

When I came to the high platform, I found that there was a gray-haired old man waiting quietly at the entrance of the main hall.

Seeing this, Chihiro's eyes instantly surged with cold light, and his whole body was full of true qi, and his robe was windless.

"The old slave has seen the Nine Emperor Princes. The old man bowed as if he didn't realize it.

"Hmph, you dog minion still knows that I am the Nine Emperors. Chihiro said with a cold face: "Is it my father who asked you to tempt me to cultivate?"

"The old slave is just a subordinate, who only listens to the master, and the other old slaves don't know anything. The old man bowed again and replied lightly.

Seeing this, Qianxun knew that he couldn't get a result, and he didn't want to make it too difficult, the other party was at best just a loyal subordinate, but because of the hatred in his heart, he couldn't help but ask sharply, his purpose today was to make himself a strange and ruthless Emperor Longshan in the main hall.

Walking towards the hall with a cold face, before entering the door, he saw a burly middle-aged man, wearing a black plain suit sitting on the golden dragon throne, obviously only seeing the Nine Emperor Princes, the Emperor of Longshan was very casual.

Chihiro Phantom took steps, stared ahead, stared at the Emperor Longshan who was worshiped by hundreds of millions of people on the throne, and at this moment there was no majesty on his face, only calm and serene.

Above the court, it is a big sin to look at the emperor, even if you are a prince, not to mention staring at it so unscrupulously.

"Longshan Empire, the Ninth Prince, Qianxun Fantasy! Meet the Emperor of Longshan. Chihiro phantom body reached the center of the court, and her body stood straight, but her hands were slightly clasped in fists.

This is obviously a great disrespect, provoking the majesty of the emperor, but when the emperor saw this, his expression did not change at all.

"What do you see me today?" the loud voice echoed in the majestic and spacious hall.

"I'm here today to ask just three questions. Qianxun stared at the other party, neither humble nor arrogant: "The first question, eight years ago, the mountains and seas were full of waves, and the heavy sword technique, did you send Wang Lao to give it to me and let me practice?"

As soon as the words fell, Chihiro looked at each other directly, a trace of hope flashed in his eyes, in fact, he was very reluctant to believe in his heart that his father was the one who harmed him, although the chance was very slim, he still had the courage and made up his mind to ask.

However, the other party's expression and answer were destined to disappoint him.

"That's right! I sent Elder Wang to give it to you. Emperor Longshan still said calmly with serenity, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

But Chihiro's emotions suddenly became excited, his face flushed instantly, and he roared at the top of his throat: "Why? Why? Why do you want to hurt your son like this?"

"The emperor is not excited, how can my father harm you, the inner cultivation method and sword technique I gave you are the top methods of the Longshan Empire. The Longshan Empire looked at him without hurrying or slowing, and said calmly: "Ordinary people can't ask for it, so how can it harm you." ”

"Hmph! That's a nice thing to say, the top method? I started cultivating at the age of nine, and I can't enter the innate for the rest of my life, what if it's the method of going against the sky? Qianxun's face was cold, and there was a trace of hatred in the anger in his eyes, and he said: "One meter four tall, is this what you want to see?"

In the face of his madness, the Emperor of Longshan still turned a blind eye, and said lightly: "Okay! I have already answered the first question, let's start asking the second one! If I continue to entangle, I will refuse to answer." ”

The Emperor of Longshan was expressionless, his face was calm, as if he was joking, he didn't know if what he said was true or not, but Qianxun knew that Jun had no jokes, the emperor of a country, how could his mind be so easy to figure out, even if he was the son of the other party.

Thinking of this, Chihiro calmed down her emotions, calmed down, looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, who had been calm and quiet, and suddenly laughed at herself in her heart.

It has always been recorded in the classics that the ruthless emperor family, in the hearts of the other party, may be just a dispensable prince, and there are eight princes who are better than themselves in all aspects, and their own protests and rebellions seem to have become weak, nested, ignorant, and ridiculous.
