Chapter 299 The Epilogue of Qianling
No one could have imagined that he would choose to leave his homeland for eighteen years for the long-term benefit of the Ling Kingdom.
He even secretly entrusted the throne to his sister, allowing her to manage the government on his behalf.
Such courage is truly rare.
What kind of deep schemes and ambitions did they harbor to dare to entrust the nation's most important assets to a woman?
Now he has made a strong comeback, and his aura is even stronger than before.
Given his style of doing things, he is bound to stir up trouble and disrupt the balance that countries have maintained for many years.
The entire game of chess in this world will likely be completely rearranged because of him alone.
"When trouble arises in the Spirit Kingdom, chaos will surely follow throughout the land..."
Xuan Quheng sighed softly and turned to go back to his room.
He knew that the days to come would likely be filled with unease.

Let's turn our attention back to the final moments at Qianling Mausoleum.
With Liu Lingyu's wave of his hand, the archers quietly retreated.
The atmosphere inside Qianling Mausoleum had only eased slightly, but everyone's nerves remained taut.
Zhang Xuanji stroked his long beard and slowly stepped forward, softly calling out, "Chongjing."
The name "Chongjing" is Liu Lingzhen's courtesy name, and it is rare for people to address him as such.
Only those who had interacted with him in his early years would refer to him in this way.
Although Zhang Xuanji was more than ten years older than him.
However, he had known Liu Lingzhen since his early years, before he entered the Qin court.
Only one person became a sorcerer in the Qin state.
One of them was a prince of the Kingdom of Ling.
Even though the two had a past relationship, they could not escape their opposing stances.
Liu Lingzhen looked up at him, her expression unchanged.
Zhang Xuanji chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity.
"It seems there are still quite a few people who have thought of you all these years!"
He paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "Now that you're back, would you be interested in coming with me to the Qin Kingdom?"
"Since Zhengxi has invited me, I will gladly accept," Liu Lingzhen replied calmly.
"Zhengxi" was Zhang Xuanji's courtesy name. The two addressed each other by their courtesy names, seemingly setting aside their current positions, yet also concealing a deeper veil of sarcasm.
When Zhang Xuanji saw that Liu Lingzhen had agreed, his smile widened even more.
It's like a man who's been single for years, and suddenly a beautiful woman agrees to let him... oops...
Zhang Xuanji turned around and walked out of Qianling Mausoleum first.
Mo You and Zi Yan exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
Cheng Shuang did not leave with them, but instead took light steps toward the Spirit King and the others.
Xiao Lie's heart tightened when he saw Cheng Shuang coming this way.
He was about to step forward to stop him, but the Spirit King raised his hand to stop him.
Cheng Shuang walked closer, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with a hint of cunning.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you."
Her gaze fell on Xiao Lie, and she asked in a sweet, coquettish tone, "Little guy, can you tell your sister what your name is?"
But Xiao Lie looked wary, as if afraid she would suddenly attack them, and gritted his teeth, saying, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing Xiao Lie's expression, Cheng Shuang was not annoyed, and still smiled brightly: "I just want to know your name, little guy, tell your sister."
"You'd better get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xiao Lie was so amused by her teasing that he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Cheng Shuang feigned a pitiful look, as if she had been abandoned by her husband, and said, "Oh, you little rascal, you really have no sense of romance at all. Why are you being so fierce to your older sister?"
Then she raised an eyebrow, her smile widening. "You're quite cute when you're fierce, and that makes me even more interested!"
Xiao Lie's cheeks flushed from her teasing, and he was about to say something more.
King Ling spoke first: "His name is Su Ziyun."
"Spirit King!" Xiao Lie was taken aback, wondering why he needed to reveal his name.
King Ling waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to say anything more.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuang repeated, "Su Ziyun... is indeed a good name."
She blew a kiss to Xiao Lie, "Well then, see you next time, little guy."
After saying that, Cheng Shuang turned around and gracefully walked away with her alluring steps.
As Zhang Xuanji and Cheng Shuang's group left, the rest of the people from various countries also gradually and orderly withdrew from Qianling.
Before leaving, Yu Lianbo and the other two members of the Gou tribe gave the Spirit King a deep look, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Gu Xuanchao's Maple Leaf Green had a gloomy expression, seemingly plotting something.
After most of the people had left, Liu Lingzhen coldly looked at Liu Lingyu and said, "Come with me."
Hearing his elder brother speak, Liu Lingyu had no choice but to follow him, even though he was unwilling.
At this moment, Lu Wuliang and the other two from Si Chao walked towards King Ling and the others.
When they approached, he respectfully bowed and said, "King Ling, before I left, His Majesty instructed me to convey a message to you."
His Majesty said that he has always been on good terms with you, so he reassured King Ling that he would not take the opportunity to send troops.
only……"
He stopped before he could finish speaking, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
King Ling naturally understood what he had left unsaid.
Si Chao Liu Xinhao did not send troops to attack Ling Kingdom because he was a good friend of Si Chao Liu Xinhao.
However, given what just happened, we will have to reconsider our decision based on who the "Spirit King" of this Spirit Kingdom is.
If Liu Lingzhen were to take power, this alliance would likely need to be reconsidered.
King Ling nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble. Go back and tell Liu Xinhao that I... appreciate it."
"Now that this matter is settled, we will return to the capital to report back."
Lu Wuliang cupped his hands to the Spirit King, then turned to the Five Spirit Stars and Xiao Lie and clasped his hands in farewell, saying, "Farewell!"
After saying that, he turned and left with Qin Duan and Xun Chuan.
Aizek, Maisha, and Haguli, who were outside the territory, saw them leave.
The three of them then stepped forward and performed a unique foreign greeting.
Azerk said in a gruff voice, "Kaka, the Spirit King, Azerk greets you."
Maisa and Haguli also bowed in greeting.
They exchanged a few words.
The implication is that he and Bai Lingxing from the Ling Kingdom are very good friends.
Finally, he even invited the Spirit King to travel to the outer realms if he had the time.
They and the foreign monarchs would certainly offer them a warm welcome, and then they would take their leave.
After most of the crowd had left, Qianling Mausoleum was finally empty, leaving only the Spirit King, the five Spirit Stars, and Xiao Lie.
"puff--"
King Ling could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then his body swayed slightly, and he staggered out with his left foot before barely managing to stand still.
"King Ling!" "King Ling, are you alright?"
Hua Lingxing and Cha Lingxing exclaimed and stepped forward to help him, but were stopped by the Spirit King.
She waved her hand, her voice weak due to her injuries, yet unusually clear.
"From now on, do not call me the Spirit King anymore."
Xiao Lie frowned, then with a flick of his finger, several golden needles slid out of his robes.
Without saying a word, he swiftly twisted his wrist, and several golden needles precisely pierced various acupoints on the Spirit King's chest.
He then channeled his inner energy, slowly guiding it along the meridians of the golden needle, gradually smoothing out the chaotic and turbulent flow of qi and blood.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, removed the golden needle, and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
King Ling's breathing gradually calmed, and he nodded slightly.
