Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Da Siming eventually passed away with worry for Shi Ying. Shi Ying had no time to recover his cultivation before he hurriedly took care of Da Siming's funeral. However, he had now completely taken off his divine robe. Even if he retained the master-disciple relationship with Da Siming, it would not be a good idea for him to stay in Jiuyi Mountain for too long, and he could not interfere too much in Da Siming's funeral.

Besides, everyone has important things to do now. After worshiping the Great God of Destiny, Zhu Yan, Bai Xuelu and Qing Gang, the lovers, rushed to the Jialan Imperial City urgently. The sudden attack on Mount Jiuyi by the Ten Ice Wizards must be reported to Emperor Beimian, so that Emperor Beimian can find out the reason behind the sudden attack.

Moreover, there is a respected wise man from the Ice Clan who did not show up this time. Bai Xuelu and Qing Gang both felt that since the ten witches appeared together in Mount Jiuyi, the wise man must have a more important task.

After Zhu Yan, Bai Xuelu and Qing Gang left, Shi Ying turned around and said goodbye to Jiang Xinxin with gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, I promised Master that I would serve you, but now Kongsang is in danger, and it is not appropriate for you to interfere in trivial matters in the world. I dare to ask you to wait for me in Jiuyi Mountain..."

Jiang Xinxin really had a new respect for Shi Ying. This girl was a little love-sick, but she had never thought of giving up her principles and ideals. She was much better than Chu Xuan Ji and Yu Si Feng whom she met in the previous world.

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "I have a hunch that maybe I should go down the mountain with you. I definitely didn't come to this world for no reason. Generally speaking, those who come to me are those who have discovered some problems and are asking me for help."

Shi Ying's eyes suddenly lit up. He of course understood that Da Siming's last wish was just to give him a chance to stay with Jiang Xinxin. But Kongsang was in trouble now and he had to go down the mountain. Jiang Xinxin's usual style was to ignore the fights between mortals. He really had no confidence at all that he could go down the mountain with Jiang Xinxin.

After the excitement, Shi Ying thought of his little friend Chongming again and invited Chongming to go down the mountain together. Unfortunately, after Chongming looked at Jiang Xinxin, he directly rejected Shi Ying's proposal.

"Little Shadow, I was born in Mount Jiuyi, and I am a divine beast passed down from ancient times. Over the years, I have been deeply protected by Mount Jiuyi. Now that the Great God of Destiny is gone and you have taken off your divine robe, I will stay to protect Mount Jiuyi."

Shi Ying felt sad after hearing this. In the past, Chongming was a bird that only knew how to protect its own beauty, but now he also knows how to take responsibility.

Only Jiang Xinxin knew from the beginning that Chongming had no chance to go down the mountain. Just as Chongming himself said, after the death of the Great Sima, except for Shi Ying, the Young Sima who had taken off his divine robe, the four Sikong were the only ones who could take care of things in Mount Jiuyi.

But the four Sikongs are not as good as Shi Ying in cultivation and ability, so they can only share the burden together. Moreover, there are many miscellaneous tasks in Jiuyi Mountain, and the situation in Jialan Imperial City is also turbulent. They are unable to take care of Jiuyi Mountain at all. Instead, Jiuyi Mountain may be needed to support the imperial city.

What's more, other people don't know, but the inside of Jiuyi Mountain knows it very well. The Dragon God who can lead the mermaids back to the Blue Sea is sealed in the Cangwu Abyss to the north of Jiuyi Mountain. Moreover, the Emperor's Valley also needs someone to guard it, so Chongming has no chance to go down the mountain at all.

The outside world still believed that Zhi Yuan, who used to be the steward of the Red Prince's Palace, was the Sea Emperor. Therefore, Bai Fenglin, who was deprived of the title of White King and demoted to a commoner, sued the Red Prince's Palace on the grounds that the Red Prince's Palace had sheltered the Sea Emperor for two hundred years, and brought the matter before the Northern Crown Emperor.

Although Emperor Beimian thought that this was a frame-up by Bai Fenglin against the Chiwang Mansion, there was indeed a person named Zhiyuan in the Chiwang Mansion, and he was indeed pardoned because he had quelled the rebellion of the Chi clan.

Emperor Beimian did not want to wrongly accuse anyone, so he asked Qinggang to take his token to the Chi tribe to investigate the truth. He also asked Qinggang to send a message to King Chi to go to the Jialan Imperial City to defend himself. Zhu Yan was kept in the palace as a hostage by Emperor Beimian.

Before leaving, Bai Xuelu gave Zhu Yan a reassuring look. After coming out of the palace, Bai Xuelu thought about it and decided that Zhiyuan had indeed been the steward of the Chiwang Mansion for many years and could not deny it, but Zhiyuan's identity as the Sea King was still questionable. Bai Xuelu sent a letter to Jiuyi Mountain to explain the matter to Shi Ying, but she did not expect that Shi Ying and Jiang Xinxin would leave Jiuyi Mountain soon. The letter she sent was received by Chongming. When Chongming sent another letter to Shi Ying, Qinggang had already taken the Chiwang to the Jialan Imperial City.

After Shi Ying finished reading the letter, he remembered the peace agreement he had made with Zhi Yuan that day, and how he had tried his best to kill Zhi Yuan that day. Now he felt as if his mind had been blinded by someone. When Jiang Xinxin looked over, he said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, now that Guixie has risen, it shows that the Sea Emperor will definitely return. If Zhi Yuan is not the Sea Emperor, then the Sea Emperor must be someone else. It is hard for me to imagine that Kongsang will perish because of one person."

"It seems that the fate of an individual can be easily influenced, but a country is made up of millions of individuals. I believe that even the way of heaven cannot rely on just one or two people to influence the fate of a country. So I decided not to hunt down the Sea King. The Kongsang people should indeed be held responsible for the mistakes they made to the mermaids over the past seven thousand years."

Jiang Xinxin reminded him, "If it follows normal development, Kongsang was overthrown by the Jiao people because it was too corrupt, then even if you become the emperor, you will not be able to save Kongsang from its decline. But I am afraid that someone will interfere and take this opportunity to achieve their own ulterior motives and plunge the Jiao people and Kongsang people into dire straits."

Shi Ying thought that Jiang Xinxin was talking about the Ice Clan, because the Ice Clan had previously sent people to smuggle into Kongsang, and the Ten Witches had just died in Mount Jiuyi, and the wise men's lives were in doubt.

Shi Ying sighed and said worriedly, "But Kongsang has been peaceful for too long. Even now, only a few of the six dignitaries believe that the Sea Emperor will bring a crisis of destruction to Kongsang. As for the so-called Cangliu Empire established by the Ice Clan, it has never been taken seriously by Kongsang. After all, the Ice Clan were originally exiles after being defeated in the war."

Even though she had not experienced these things, Jiang Xinxin could still imagine Kongsang's current situation. After all, in a modern society with advanced technology and abundant information, the promotion of every policy has to go through many difficulties, not to mention the people of this ancient country that has been at peace for seven thousand years. The stubbornness of their thinking is probably far beyond Jiang Xinxin's imagination.

Although there were many worries, Shi Ying first rushed to the Jialan Imperial City to meet with Emperor Beimian and plead for mercy on behalf of the entire Chiwang Palace. However, Emperor Beimian was only willing to pardon Zhu Yan, who was once Shi Ying's apprentice, at first, and everyone else was imprisoned awaiting trial.

Shi Ying fought hard, but only managed to buy Chi Wangfu half a month. Moreover, Shi Ying could not afford to delay any longer, so he returned to Jiuyi Mountain after leaving the palace. "Your Majesty, I want to ask the Dragon God. He must know who the Sea King is."

"Also, I would like to ask the Dragon God what happened between Emperor Xingzun, Queen Baiwei and the Sea King that made Emperor Xingzun regard the Sea King as a traitor and demote the mermaids to Kongsang's slaves. And why did Queen Baiwei continue to work hard for the safety of the mermaids and even turn against Emperor Xingzun?"
