Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 166 The Essence of Wind, Divine Wind Manor



Chapter 166 The Essence of Wind, Divine Wind Manor

On the outskirts of Beijing, atop a high mountain.

Qin Wu sat cross-legged on the mountaintop with his eyes closed.

A thin layer of mist surrounded him, giving him a dreamlike and real feeling.

He came here because he had recently been feeling something.

I feel that to break through to the realm of terrestrial immortals, one needs to comprehend a special kind of power between heaven and earth.

He cultivated in the mansion for several days, but he still couldn't grasp that mysterious and profound feeling.

That's why I came here, wanting to see if I could immerse myself in nature and explore this mysterious feeling.

Of course, Qin Wu did not choose this place randomly.

Because he possessed powerful wind-based abilities, he started by looking for wind, and this place was famous in the capital for its constant strong winds.

Most people wouldn't dare come to this mountaintop.

Such a place is most suitable for Qin Wu's training.

As time passed day by day, Qin Wu had been cultivating here for more than a month.

After a month of practice, he finally grasped that mysterious and elusive feeling.

That's the idea, a state of mind.

Although he only touched it slightly, Qin Wu could feel that his attack and speed were at least twice as fast as before.

This surprised and delighted Qin Wu.

After entering the sect, Qin Wu did not leave the sect but continued his seclusion.

He wanted to seize this opportunity to quickly grasp the essence of the wind.

And just like that, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

This mountain also became Qin Wu's territory, enclosed by the Shenwu Royal Palace from the mountainside.

And they built a mountain resort.

This was also Qin Wu's request; he planned to live here from now on and cultivate here whenever he had free time.

He wanted to seize the time to step into the legendary realm of the Land Immortal.

Furthermore, with the Eastern Qin having successively conquered the Southern Qi and the Northern Barbarians, it will take a considerable amount of time to digest their gains.

As for revenge, he will not forget that those below him have never stopped.

However, he has recently been confirming something: based on his investigation of Japanese assassins, he discovered that some of his imperial brothers may have already died and are now in disguise.

However, that person was hiding too well, and even he couldn't find out who it was in a short period of time.

So he's not in a hurry to deal with other people; he wants to find this person first.

For him, revenge was not difficult, but he would never allow the Japanese to do as they pleased in Eastern Qin.

Compared to revenge, he wanted to destroy this damned Japanese country first.

Even though he had transmigrated and been reborn, he still loathed this country to the core.

Qin Wu felt even more disgusted after hearing the Japanese language.

On this day, Qin Wu had just finished his cultivation and stood up.

"Your Majesty."

After waiting for a long time, Liu Feng finally spoke.

"What's the matter? Why have you been waiting here for so long?"

Qin Wu had long sensed the arrival of Liu Feng, as his understanding of the essence of wind deepened.

His senses were becoming increasingly sharp; he could detect even the slightest ripple in the wind.

So he already knew when Liu Feng arrived.

"Your Highness, the army has returned, and His Majesty has ordered preparations to be made for a victory celebration banquet."

Liu Feng reported this to Qin Wu.

After half a year, the Zhenbei Army finally wiped out the northern barbarians.

They established a defensive line to guard against the small countries outside the northern barbarians before returning to the capital.

"Okay, I'll be there on time. By the way, is there any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Qin Wu inquired.

"Not yet. That person is very well hidden. According to our investigation, Japan's plan may not have started in recent years, but may have started much earlier."

Liu Feng shook his head.

This was still the most difficult time for their secret agents in investigating the matter.

Those Japanese are hiding too well; they need more time to investigate.

"Yes, don't let any clue slip by. Find all the Japanese lurking in my Eastern Qin. Remember, don't let a single one of them escape."

Qin Wu said in a cold voice.

He hadn't expected that even his personal guards couldn't find the person quickly.

It seems those people are hiding something very deeply.

Even so, Qin Wu was not prepared to give up; he was determined to find these people.

"Yes, we will intensify our investigation."

Liu Feng accepted the order.

He could sense that Qin Wu genuinely loathed these Japanese people, though he didn't know why.

But since Qin Wu had given the order, he would carry it out.

"Well, you don't need to do many things yourself. You guys should spend more time cultivating."

"Go back."

After giving a word of advice, Qin Wu dismissed Liu Feng.

Liu Feng and the others were people who grew up with him. He had long regarded them as family, and he hoped that they could stand with him at the peak and overlook the world.

"Yes."

Liu Feng knew that Qin Wu cared about them, and he was touched.

After receiving the order, Liu Feng silently withdrew.

Qin Wu waved his hand, and the Nine-Turn Coiled Dragon Bright Silver Spear flew over from not far away.

Qin Wu started practicing his spear technique again.

Seven days later.

The palace banquet begins.

Qin Wu then returned to his palace in the capital.

After washing up, Qin Wu, dressed in a purple brocade robe with gold trim, boarded a carriage and headed towards the palace.

As for Jiang Pingle and the other girls, they had already accompanied the Grand Princess into the palace.

After entering the palace, Qin Wu went directly to the Imperial Study.

As for going to pay respects to the Empress, that's a joke.

"Xiao Jiu, you're here."

When the Emperor of Eastern Qin saw Qin Wu enter, he smiled and spoke.

Qin Wu has not returned for half a year since he went to his Shenfeng Manor.

He hadn't seen Qin Wu for six months.

"Yes, they're all here!"

Qin Wu went directly to the first seat to the left of the Eastern Qin Emperor and sat down.

This is the position that everyone agrees belong to Qin Wu, after all, in Eastern Qin, the left is considered superior.

Currently, apart from the Emperor of Eastern Qin, Qin Wu holds the most prestigious position in Eastern Qin.

Even the eldest prince, King Zhou, dared not easily offend Qin Wu.

There's no way around it; Qin Wu is not only powerful now, but his position in the army is also at its zenith. It's likely that a single order from Qin Wu could mobilize most of the army in Eastern Qin.

Most importantly, Qin Wu was ruthless and insane enough.

And it wasn't just Qin Wu; his women were also not to be trifled with.

Ever since Qin Wu launched his campaign against the northern barbarians, these men have suffered no shortage of torment at the hands of the women.

They all have psychological trauma now.

"By the way, now that the entire army has returned, I plan to reward them and bestow titles upon them. See if there's anything that needs to be changed."

After Emperor Dong Qin finished speaking, he gestured to Eunuch Yongfu to hand over the list of rewards to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu didn't stand on ceremony; he already had the power of regent, so there was nothing wrong with taking a look.

However, while reviewing the rewards, Qin Wu also kept an eye on the princes' condition. He wanted to see if there was anything wrong with them and try to find the lurking Japanese.

Qin Wu quickly identified the two individuals, neither of whom seemed to have a blood connection with him.

Does that mean that neither of these two people are members of the Eastern Qin royal family?

Qin Wu might not have noticed it before, but with his understanding of the artistic conception over this period of time, he has been able to acquire this special ability.
