Originally, I thought that with the continuous increase of my strength, I could finally lead the generals of Liyang in person to complete the great achievement of unifying the Xiongnu and the Southern Barbarians that had not been completed for several generations. But what he didn't expect was that when he was impacting the virtual realm, there was suddenly a huge problem in his body, which directly caused him to go mad, the meridians of his body burst, and the dantian also had serious problems. couldn't lift his spiritual power, and he directly became a wasted person.

Since there was no one around him who had cultivated to such a realm like him, he had no way to deal with it for a while. The situation continued for two years and gradually worsened. The meridians and dantian in his body gradually shrank, and his spiritual power had nowhere to go, constantly impacting his already fragile meridians and body, so he was enduring unimaginable pain every day. As a result, he could not live a normal life, so he could only hide in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, unwilling to see people.

He couldn't figure out why this was happening, he was groggy all day long, and he didn't even pay attention to state affairs. Until one day, King Lin'an suddenly appeared in front of him, and after discovering his physical problems, he recommended a cultivator to help him heal, which is now the national teacher Murong An.

In less than a month, the national teacher used his spiritual power to help Zhao Wenkai regulate his meridians every day, and gradually guided the violent spiritual power in his body out of his body, and finally let him get rid of the pain of spiritual disorder that caused life to be worse than death.

This made Zhao Wenkai very grateful to the national teacher, and he could also feel that the national teacher was a cultivator at the peak of the soul condensing realm, so he simply gave Murong An as the national teacher and assisted the prince in managing state affairs. And he himself was living deep in the palace, wanting to improve his body that had become a mortal by resuming his cultivation.

But how difficult it was to recover, it took him six or seven years to recover to the Soul Condensing Realm through cultivation and the elixir given by the national teacher, and then he could no longer improve. Just when he was disheartened, the national teacher actually did something to him during a face-to-face period.

directly abolished his skills, and then brutally harmed him, resulting in his current situation. He still hasn't figured out why the national teacher wants to treat him like this, even if he wants to seize the imperial power, just kill him directly, why torture him like this.

After Ling Zixuan learned about Zhao Wenkai's tragic experience, several doubts kept popping up in his mind. First, why was it that only Zhao Wenkai discovered the book of cultivation exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and none of the previous emperors found it? Second, why did King Lin'an happen to meet the national teacher when he went mad, and brought the national teacher into the palace to cure Zhao Wenkai's madness at that time? Third, why didn't you kill Zhao Wenkai and directly support King Lin'an to ascend to the throne?

Zhao Wenkai continued to write a message to Ling Zixuan, he hoped that Ling Zixuan could protect his daughter and the third prince, the crown prince was completely controlled by the national teacher, so he could not be trusted. Only this daughter and the third prince are worthy of his trust.

In addition, since all the military power is now in the hands of the national teacher, the King of Lin'an should soon reach the capital when he raises troops, so he hopes that Ling Zixuan can take the princess and the third prince away, after all, without the military power in hand, they can't compete with the King of Lin'an, so they can only let them hide first, and then raise troops to regain the imperial power when the time is ripe.

Ling Zixuan didn't answer Zhao Wenkai's request, but just let him recuperate here, although Zhao Wenkai didn't let Ling Zixuan cut the deep-sea silver chain that locked him in order not to startle the snake. However, under the recovery of the Restoration Pill, his physical condition still improved, but Ling Zixuan found that Zhao Wenkai's body was constantly having a white aura that was slowly sucked out of his body through the refinement of these two deep-sea sinking silver.

With the outflow of white breath, Zhao Wenkai's body seemed to be hollowed out a little bit, although the flesh and meridians improved under the recovery of the recovery pill, but Zhao Wenkai's whole state was still sluggish.

Could it be that this white breath is the power of faith that supports Zhao Wenkai's skills?

It was because the power of faith in his body was constantly absorbed by the deep sea sinking silver, causing him to be unable to recover his strength, and Ling Zixuan found that if Zhao Wenkai's power of faith was completely absorbed, maybe Zhao Wenkai's soul power would disappear completely, leading to death. This will definitely lead to the collapse of the national fortunes of the Lingyang Dynasty, maybe this is what the national teacher hopes to achieve.

Ling Zixuan let Zhao Wenkai cultivate with peace of mind, he would let his disciple Chenxin come over and feed him the Restoration Pill every once in a while, at least to ensure that his physical body remained in good condition, judging from the speed of the deep sea sinking silver absorbing the power of faith in Zhao Wenkai's body, it should not cause his life to be in danger in a short period of time. So he agreed to Zhao Wenkai's request and left the cold palace.

"Wen Ting, how long has it been since you met the saint?" As soon as Ling Zixuan returned to Huaqing Palace, he asked the Ninth Princess.

"Face saint? It's been three or four years, but during this period, I went to the Qianqing Palace several times, but my father didn't let me enter the palace to meet me, but just chatted with me a few words. What's wrong? The Ninth Princess asked a little uneasily.

After Ling Zixuan listened to the words of the Ninth Princess, he once again confirmed that the man who was locked up in the cold palace should really be the current saint Zhao Wenkai.

After looking at the nervous expression of the ninth princess, he asked the ninth princess to find a way to call the three princes together, he had something to say to take care of the two of them.

Facing the three princes and the ninth princess, Ling Zixuan told them exactly what he had found in the cold palace. And he also stopped the grieving two from rushing to rescue their father.

"Let's not say that if you save him in the past, you will hurt him, and you will hurt yourselves. Even if you are rescued, what can you do? All the military power is now in the hands of the crown prince and the national teacher, your father is just an empty shell now, and he is the way he is now, it is difficult to make the people in the Liyang Dynasty believe that he is the current saint, so we have to take it step by step. Ling Zixuan looked at the two hysterical princes and princesses with a solemn face.

"Master, then let my father endure the torment all the time?" The Ninth Princess said with tears streaming down her face.

"Youweishi's Recovery Pill has been given to your father, he is already recovering, and judging from the current situation, his vital physique is gradually recovering, and his life will not be in danger in the short term. So you don't have to worry about him being hurt as much as before. Ling Zixuan comforted.

"I will let Chenxin stay here, go to see your father every three days, and give him the Restoration Pill, so that he can recover some strength first, and then rescue him. And I will return to the East China Sea to stop the king of Lin'an's army. Ling Zixuan said what he thought.

"So what do we do?" The third prince was also brutalized by his father, and he had no clue, and he was not the brave and resourceful third prince who was usually clear-minded.

"During the time I have returned, you want to win over those who hold military power and are loyal to your father, and weaken the status of the national teacher and the crown prince in their hearts. It may be a little hard, but you have to do it. Only in this way can you get the support of the army immediately after your father is rescued, and you can confront the national teacher. In addition, don't conflict with the national teacher during this time, and don't let him find out that we already know his secret, otherwise he will definitely attack the two of you, and you must protect yourself. Ling Zixuan said.

"Yes, master!" At this time, the Ninth Princess was more decisive, she had slowly walked out of her emotions, and looked at Ling Zixuan with a firm look in her eyes. Ling Zixuan nodded with satisfaction as his disciple's state of mind was so strong.

After the explanation, Ling Zixuan left the palace with Jiang Jingwen and Chenxin, preparing to return to the East China Sea to lead the Tianlan Sect to deal with King Lin'an. Only by solving the problem of King Lin'an first can greatly weaken the power of the national teacher and bring a glimmer of hope for the final decisive battle.

After arriving at the Ling Mansion, Ling Buyi and his wife, who were supposed to go back to Donghai City with them, decided not to return to Donghai City with their son's persuasion, and to accompany the old man in the capital with peace of mind. By the way, I helped Ling Zixuan prepare for the development of the Ling family's shop in the capital. When the old man heard that Lingzixuan was going to come to the capital to develop, he couldn't be happier, and he kept saying yes.

After explaining a few words to the old man and Ling Buyi and his wife, Ling Zixuan hurried back to Donghai City with Jiang Jingwen and Chenxin.
