Demigod-Level Cultivation Technique
While Qin Shi Huang was pondering how to wage war against the Yan State, Crown Prince Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun were also receiving high-ranking generals from the Yan State or the Northern Liang Army.
In Yan Xun's room, two fierce, burly men, each about two and a half meters tall, stood to one side, while an old man in black robes sat beside him, and opposite him was Yan Xun.
"Your King Yan, the disappearance of Crown Prince Yan has had a profound impact on the entire Yan State. In particular, the 300,000 Yan Army in Changping City witnessed Crown Prince Yan capture firsthand, causing morale to plummet. According to the Prime Minister, we can take this opportunity to subdue the 300,000 Yan Army in Changping City, then march directly on the Imperial Capital, purge those who supported Crown Prince Yan, and restore Your King Yan's status as the monarch of Yan State."
The old man was the King of Northern Liang and the biggest supporter of Yan Xun's return to the Yan State as king. The Northern Liang nomads played a decisive role in Yan Xun's ability to cooperate with Crown Prince Yan to resist the Qin Army.
However, due to the news that Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun had been kidnapped a few days ago, the King of Northern Liang realized that an opportunity had come. He had already been discussing with Yan State Chancellor Yuwen Hongdu how to wage war against Yan State. Suddenly, news came that Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan had appeared in Dubian Town, so he went to great lengths to come to Dubian Town to discuss the situation with Yan Xun.
After all, the nature of Yan Xun being alive and being dead is completely different.
After listening to the words of the King of Northern Liang, Yan Xun frowned slightly and hesitated, saying, "If we start purging Crown Prince Yan's supporters now, what if the Qin Army attacks our Yan State?"
Although Yan Xun wanted to regain the throne of King Yan, he was even more unwilling to hand over the foundation of the Yan State to others; otherwise, he would not have agreed to fight against Qin together with Crown Prince Yan.
The King of Northern Liang said in a deep voice, "Your King Yan, rest assured, Qin State Qin Shi Huang and General Bai Ling are both in Dubian Town. Looking across the Qin State, there are almost no generals who can command these 500,000 Qin Army. Moreover, the Qin State has always opposed attacking Yan State, and this incident is exactly what they wanted. Therefore, they will definitely not send troops to attack Yan State again."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xun fell into deep thought. If Qin State did not wage war against Yan State at this moment, he could use the 200,000 Northern Liang Army to quickly eliminate Crown Prince Yan's supporters. Then, upon returning to Yan State, he could reclaim the throne of King Yan. Combined with the combined forces of Yan and Northern Liang, he could resist the Qin Army, achieving two goals at once.
"Yan Ziliang has also arrived at Dubian Town. With his insight, he might be able to Detect this. If King of Northern Liang Crown Prince Yan listens to Yan Ziliang's advice, it will be difficult for us to find such a good opportunity again!" The King of the Northern Liang Grasslands said in a low voice when he saw Yan Xun's hesitation.
Yan Ziliang was a key minister to Crown Prince Yan. Crown Prince Yan often consulted with Yan Ziliang on his decisions. Their relationship was similar to that of Yan Xun and Prime Minister Yuwen Hongdu, who were like left and right arms.
Yan Xun was somewhat tempted by the words of the King of Northern Liang, but after glancing at him, his restless heart inexplicably calmed down. He calmly said, "Until we are certain whether the Qin Army will cease its offensive, let's put this matter aside for now and stabilize the Yan State."
The King of Northern Liang gave Yan Xun a deep look, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward, and the two remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"Knock knock knock~"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the gate, startling Yan Xun and the King of Northern Liang.
"Who?" Yan Xun asked. Logically speaking, no one should be able to disturb them at this hour; it's their bedtime. Besides, he had previously instructed the maids to wait outside and not let anyone approach his room.
"Your King Yan, someone from the Bookstore has come to deliver a message," the maid outside the door replied softly and meekly.
"The Mysterious Bookstore?" Yan Xun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "What is it?"
"The shopkeeper said: 'The first book is fine, but if the second book is the same, the contract will be extended for another six months.'" The maid repeated these words verbatim.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xun pondered for a moment and immediately understood the maid's meaning, replying, "Understood, you may leave."
"Yes, this servant takes her leave." The maid curtsied outside and quietly withdrew.
Silence returned to the room.
"Since the King Yan has made up his mind, then I will not force him. I will withdraw now and not disturb King Yan rest any longer," the King of Northern Liang said, rising and bowing.
"Take care, Your King of Northern Liang," Yan Xun said, bowing in return.
Goodbye.
The two waved goodbye, King of Northern Liang left with two burly men, leaving Yan Xun alone at the door, watching the three disappear around the corner.
"Whew!"
A gust of autumn wind blew into the room, and the candle was extinguished instantly.
"Crunch!"
The door to the house was closed, plunging the room into darkness.
"King of Northern Liang, you're no better than me..."
"..."
The following morning, after a day of heavy rain, the air in Dubian Town was exceptionally clean, and the sky was kind to us, with warm sunshine appearing early in the morning, accompanied by a gentle breeze, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Of course, not everyone was in a good mood. For example, the thirty-six bigwigs sitting on both sides of the Bookstore entrance all looked listless.
The kings of the four kingdoms, in particular, looked rather somber, which made the atmosphere in front of the Bookstore much less pleasant, and the cultivators watching dared not make a sound.
"Yan Xun, did the King of Northern Liang come looking for you yesterday?" Crown Prince Yan asked in a low voice.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Yan Xun said calmly.
"Didn't you say anything?" Crown Prince Yan asked curiously.
Yan Xun was amused by Crown Prince Yan's words and laughed, "What? Do I have to tell you what my people told me?"
Although they are brothers, they are no longer the kind of people who share the same pants and would even turn against each other. How could they still say whatever they want like before?
Crown Prince Yan Xun, you should be aware of the current situation in Yan State. I hope you will not do anything irrational. Protect Yan State's five-thousand-year-old foundation is the most urgent task."
"I don't need your lectures. You should worry about yourself first." Yan Xun glanced away disdainfully, and a burst of spiritual light appeared in his hand, revealing another book. This book was different from the others; it was entirely black and exuded a faint aura of power.
Yan Xun took the book in his hand, stood up and said, "This book contains a demigod-level cultivation technique that I have been practicing, the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. I am now offering it to everyone for study. The fee for each study session is 300,000 Spirit Crystal, and the time limit is four hours. First come, first served."
"Hiss!"
The onlookers were all taken aback, and then in the next second...
"Me, me, me~~"
"King Yan, I would like to witness your Dragon Elephant Divine Skill!"
"..."
In an instant, a crowd gathered in front of Yan Xun. In the end, a quick-thinking middle-aged man managed to grab the first spot, excitedly paid his Spirit Crystal, and sat down opposite him to watch.
The surrounding cultivators were filled with regret, but they refused to leave. Some even tried to peek from behind, but found that not a single word on the book could be seen, clearly indicating that it had been specially treated.
The important figures on both sides were slightly surprised to see Yan Xun actually take out his main skill, the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill. However, after recalling the message that the Mysterious Bookstore had sent last night, they all withdrew their gazes, pondered for a moment, and began to conceive their second book.
Suddenly, various black and yellow books appeared in their hands. Each book was of the same quality as the books in the Mysterious Bookstore, proving that they contained extremely profound martial arts, opportunities, and profits.
For the customers watching, seeing this scene was naturally even more delightful; it was the familiar page, the familiar feel.
As a result, the area in front of the Mysterious Bookstore was even more bustling than yesterday.
"Ding ding ding~~!"
Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted, and a beam of golden light shot out from the black-covered book in front of Yan Xun, entering the body of the middle-aged cultivator.
"Dragon Elephant Divine Skill!" The middle-aged man was stunned. He put down the black book in his hand and looked at his hand in disbelief. A faint white aura surrounded his hand, and he could vaguely see a dragon and elephant galloping.
"Hiss! It really is the demigod-level technique, the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill!" The onlookers exclaimed in surprise.
"A demigod-level cultivation technique! There are probably only a handful of people in the entire Azure Dragon Continent who possess it, right?" Everyone was shocked, shocked by Yan Xun's generosity and shocked by the middle-aged man's high level of talent, that he was able to comprehend a demigod-level cultivation technique.
"Smack!"
Sudden.
Yan Xun slammed his hand on the table and stood up, staring dumbfounded at the middle-aged man's hands. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! I clearly gave you the incomplete part, how could you still learn it!"
As soon as Yan Xun finished speaking, he regretted it and immediately shut up, but it was too late. Everyone stared blankly at Yan Xun.
"I..."
