In the Northern Yuan Empire, on a dirt road in White Tiger Ridge, a carriage is slowly moving forward.
Eight armored soldiers with swords followed on each side of the carriage.
However, these soldiers looked completely listless and dispirited.
Beside the carriage shaft followed a woman carrying a sword, dressed in a long purple dress, a purple face mask, and a black bamboo hat.
The woman was tall with long, jet-black hair. She walked almost silently, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.
Cough, cough, cough!
Inside the carriage, the sound of a woman coughing could be heard from time to time.
Each time a cough was heard, the woman in Ziyi would glance worriedly into the carriage, followed by a soft sigh.
Behind the woman was Ling Yi, who had just transmigrated to this world less than half a month ago.
For Ling Yi, who has read a lot of online novels, time travel is not unfamiliar.
Ling Yi also possesses the cheat-like abilities that are a must-have for time travelers.
Ling Yi's identity is that of a bodyguard for the Seventh Master of the Northern Yuan Empire.
Being a royal guard is a sure-fire way to make a living, with a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. In the world before I transmigrated, that would be roughly equivalent to a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.
Being a member of the Royal Guard is not something just anyone can do; you need connections and a clean background.
Ling Yi's background is actually quite clean.
According to the original owner's memories, she was an orphan from a young age and was adopted by an old beggar.
When he was six years old, the beggar died, and he became an orphan, inheriting the old beggar's mantle and becoming a little beggar.
He barely lived to be fifteen.
That same year, the Seventh Master's residence was recruiting guards, and Ling Yi, having a tiny bit of cultivation talent, was successfully recruited by Yuan Ziyi.
Yuan Ziyi is the name of the woman in Ziyi mentioned earlier.
Six other people were recruited at the same time that year; they were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys.
Their backgrounds were just as clean as Ling Yi's; they were either beggars or orphans.
According to the memories of the previous owner, these six people had much stronger innate talent than Ling Yi.
Ling Yi only possessed Mortal Pin innate talent, while these six individuals all possessed at least Earth Pin innate talent, with one of them even reaching Heaven Pin innate talent.
For the next two years, Yuan Ziyi taught them seven different Kung Fu Hustle.
Ling Yi had poor aptitude and it took him two years to barely Entry and reach the Body Tempering First Layer.
But after two years, all but Ling Yi died.
No, to be precise, all seven of them died.
The causes of death were varied: some drowned in rivers, some fell and died while walking, and some died suddenly from illnesses.
In short, they all died either by accident or from illness.
They all seem to have died quite normally.
The original owner was the last to die. Before her death, she suffered a sudden heart attack and died before midnight.
Ling Yi happened to transmigrate here and took the place of the original body.
After that, Yuan Ziyi stopped teaching Ling Yi martial arts and assigned him a Ling Yi post.
They were roughly equivalent to modern-day gatekeepers, standing like statues at the entrance of the princess's residence every day.
In his previous life, Ling Yi was a gang leader, and he had seen his fair share of all sorts of schemes and plots.
The deaths of the seven people from the previous life were clearly not normal; it was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting the princess's residence.
This likely involves some power struggles within the royal family.
For the past two weeks, Ling Yi has been extremely cautious and pretended to be stupid.
He took the place of the original body, so he had to continue some of the original body's Karma.
To outsiders, he didn't actually "die," so there's no guarantee that someone won't try to kill him again.
Therefore, Ling Yi was extremely careful about what he ate and drank for the past two weeks.
Ling Yi would never touch water or food of unknown origin or that had been handled by someone else.
Three days ago, an imperial edict arrived from the palace, but Ling Yi didn't know what it was.
All that is known is that the Seventh Master set off in this carriage the day after the imperial decree was issued.
As a princess, the biological daughter of the emperor of the Northern Yuan Empire went out.
Logically speaking, the noise shouldn't be small, right?
Even if we don't expect a grand sedan chair carried by eight men and accompanied by gongs and drums, surely we should bring more guards?
But no, it didn't happen.
They were in an ordinary carriage, accompanied by sixteen guards, Yuan Ziyi, and others.
Ling Yi didn't even know where they were going.
Four words to describe it: The future is uncertain!
Let's talk about Ling Yi's cheat ability...

Putting everything else aside, just look at the list of cheat codes – isn't that powerful?
As long as you have Karmic Luck Points, you can continuously add new cheat codes.
The problem is, Ling Yi can't use these cheat codes; he can only give them to others.
He needs to Sharing his cheat ability with others in order to Sharing their cultivation levels and techniques.
Currently, it seems that they can only Sharing cultivation levels and techniques.
At first, Ling Yi was quite frustrated that he couldn't use his cheat ability.
However, after Sharing his cheat ability with Yuan Ziyi, Ling Yi immediately became enamored with it.
Even if you use this Hundredfold Cultivation System for yourself, you can only break through to the second level of Body Tempering in three days at most.
However, after Sharing with Yuan Ziyi, he directly Sharing Yuan Ziyi's cultivation level and techniques.
Ling Yi had assumed that the amplification effect Yuan Ziyi received through her cheat system would be Sharing with him!
The result was not that; instead, they directly Sharing Yuan Ziyi's cultivation techniques and abilities.
Upon closer examination, Ling Yi discovered a vast amount of room for maneuver within this.
What If...? a powerful expert at the Void Breaking Realm suddenly appeared, wouldn't it be possible to synchronize one's cultivation level and techniques simply by sharing one's cheat ability with that expert?
In other words, no matter how strong you are, the next second I'll be just as strong as you?
We'll find out the specifics when we have the chance to test it out.
For now, I'll keep a low profile and be the Old Liu.
The sky gradually darkened.
Yuan Ziyi stopped the carriage and said to the passengers, "Princess, we're at the back of White Tiger Ridge ahead. Traveling on mountain roads at night is quite inconvenient, so we'll rest here tonight and set off tomorrow morning."
"Ahem, it's all up to Auntie to decide!" A light, melodious voice rang out from inside the carriage.
"Sigh!" Yuan Ziyi sighed, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.
"Set up camp where you are and be on guard. If anything happens to the princess, none of you will survive."
The group accepted the order and dispersed.
They said they were setting up camp, but in reality, they just lit a fire and that was it.
I simply toasted a few dry biscuits over a fire and ate something light.
Sixteen minutes, four people per group, dispersed in different directions, patrolling and guarding.
Ling Yi and his group were patrolling the east side.
Once the four had moved a distance from the carriage, one of the middle-aged men whispered, "I'm afraid we won't survive until the Southern Yun Nation."
The others remained silent, their faces grave.
"The struggle for imperial power is bound to be bloody and brutal. In the eyes of those powerful figures, we are nothing but ants," the middle-aged man lamented.
"Tonight, I'm afraid, will not be peaceful!" As he spoke, a look of despair and sorrow flashed in his eyes.
" Master Ma, why don't we run? I'm still young, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be implicated like this!"
Master Ma shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "From the moment we stepped out of the capital city with the Seventh Master's carriage, the ending was already sealed."
Everyone was smart enough to understand what Master Ma meant.
Ling Yi glanced intently in the direction of the carriage, then looked at Yuan Ziyi, who was Meditation and cultivating beside it, while pondering some ideas.
Although Ling Yi was from the lower class and rarely interacted with others, he was extremely low-key, but he had heard some things about the Sixth Princess.
The emperor of the Northern Yuan Empire was dying, and although he had no sons, he had seven daughters.
In the Northern Yuan Empire, there were no gender restrictions for the imperial throne.
In the history of the Northern Yuan Empire, there were six female emperors, and all six of them were wise and virtuous rulers.
The first emperor of the Northern Yuan Empire was an empress.
The Northern Yuan Empire doted on this Seventh Master the most.
This Seventh Master was not only beautiful, possessing a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, and a face that could make fish sink and geese fall from the Heaven Pin, but she was also a martial arts genius with innate talent.
Pinnacle of Body Tempering at eight years old, and the sixth level of Qi Condensation at twelve, but when he broke through to the Spirit Refining Realm at sixteen, he suddenly suffered a qi deviation.
This time, he went mad with qi, not only suffering serious injuries, but it is said that his physical bones were also destroyed.
From that time on, the Seventh Master rarely appeared in public.
What Heavenly Hearing was the sound of her coughing coming from her bedroom.
If we follow conspiracy theories, there must be something fishy about the Seventh Master's demonic possession.
After all, given the Seventh Master's talent at the time, it was almost a certainty that she would become the emperor of the Northern Yuan Empire in the future.
Master Ma is right; the struggle for imperial power and the change of Wang Quan inevitably involve bloodshed.
If the Seventh Master were still in power, then these people might still have a chance to benefit from her rise to power.
But with the Seventh Master losing power, Ling Yi and the other guards in her Seventh Master would naturally fall behind.
Even if the Seventh Master were to leave the capital, would her six older sisters let her go?
Everyone understands the principle of eliminating the root of the problem; if it were Ling Yi, he would never allow the Seventh Master to live.
However, as Master Ma just mentioned, the Seventh Master's destination this time is the Southern Yun Nation.
Isn't Southern Yun Nation a small country in the south? What is the Seventh Master going to Southern Yun Nation for?
Moreover, the distance between the Northern Yuan Empire and the Southern Yun Nation is more than ten thousand miles.
With this carriage in front of us, it will probably take at least two or three months to get there.
If anything goes wrong during this process, they'll all have to give their names.
If it were before, Ling Yi's first thought would have been to run away. Only a fool would do something as stupid as being a cannon fodder and running alongside someone else.
But now, Ling Yi isn't in a hurry to leave.
He'd love to have more experts, since his system's main focus is on Sharing.
Furthermore, Ling Yi doesn't have a concrete plan for his future yet, so let's just follow along for now!
Late at night, Ling Yi was resting against a tree trunk.
Suddenly, I felt a warm current flowing through my body.
Ling Yi glanced at Yuan Ziyi in the distance, then with a thought, opened the system interface.
Looking at his cultivation level, he saw that it had changed from the Body Tempering Ninth Layer to the first level of Qi Condensation.
I couldn't help but smile slightly.
The Hundredfold Cultivation System is indeed very effective.
But then, in the next moment, Ling Yi's ears twitched, and then, in Ying Yi, he disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, countless shadowy figures dressed in black appeared all around.
Ling Yi, who had already taken refuge in a tree, roughly Perception there were at least a hundred people.
Yuan Ziyi, who had been Meditation beside the carriage, suddenly opened her eyes.
