218 Obsessed with the Immortal Way

"Old Prince, do you think it's time to make a decision? Otherwise, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be unstable." Li Zhong, an old servant in yellow who was standing beside Old Prince Liao, saw Old Prince Liao sitting on the chair without any expression, and couldn't help but bow forward and whisper a reminder.

He sold himself to the royal palace since he was a child, followed by the old prince, and had served for the royal palace for fifty or sixty years. Now he is the steward of the Liao prince's mansion. He can be called the servant the old prince trusts most.

As his servant, he should never have spoken without the master's order. But now the royal palace is facing a huge crisis, and he has to overcome it. This large group of people in the world, regardless of the cold, waited in the lobby of the palace in the middle of the night, regardless of the cold, and waited for the old prince's orders. These local gangs have been loyal to Prince Liao's mansion for hundreds of years, so they cannot let these people feel cold. The old prince may not care whether they are loyal, but as a servant, he must consider the master.

Moreover, there must be a solution to this matter, which is to go directly with the Northern 20th Gang, or to think of a way out in advance, and plan as soon as possible.

Li Zhong's words seemed to wake up Old Prince Liao from his meditation.

Old Prince Liao looked up in shock and asked, "Is Cong'er back?"

Li Zhong hurriedly said, "Go back to the old prince, the little prince is rushing to Qingyun Temple. He has only been out for half a cup of tea and has not come back so soon. I guess he will have to have a meal to come back."

"When he comes back, let him go to the study to find me."

Old Prince Liao sat in the lobby for a long time, exhausted his energy and looked a little tired. After saying that, he waved his hand, and without looking at the leaders of the gangs below the lobby, he left the conference hall with his hands behind his back and went to the study room in the palace to rest.

In the lobby, the gang leaders and elders looked at each other, wondering what the old prince was doing. Now it is only two or three hours before the deadline for the ultimatum of the Northern Twenty Gang. What are the old prince waiting for now?

After the meal, a young man in gorgeous clothes, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, rode a handsome black mane horse to the outside of Prince Liao's mansion, took off his snow-flake-covered bamboo hat, entered the prince's mansion, and hurried to the study of the mansion under the guidance of Li Zhong.

Seeing Old Prince Liao, the young man immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Grandpa!"

When Mr. Liao saw that he was the only one who came back, his face suddenly darkened and he asked, "Where is your father, why didn't he come back from Qingyun Temple?"

The young man shrank his head aloud and whispered: "Dad, he refused to come back. He said that he would preside over the fairy fighting conference, and he must burn incense and bathe in Qingyun Temple for three days to rest, and preside over this grand event."

"Didn't you tell him that now is the critical moment for the survival of the Liao family?"

The young man said with a bitter face: "It's useless. My father said that these trivial matters in the martial arts world are not worth his distraction, and he doesn't want to pay attention to it. He doesn't care about the matters in the Liao palace and told me not to go to him anymore. My father said that even if the Liao palace is occupied, he will not care. My father also said that as long as he has great success in the state of mind, the Liao family will sooner or later be able to regain glory. He also advised his grandson to stay in the Taoist temple and practice the state of mind with him."

When the old prince Liao heard this, he was trembling all over and slapped the desk: "Nothing is nonsense, is it just nonsense. Is the matter of the royal family a trivial matter? This local gang in Qingzhou City is the last method of control by my Liao family. If the power of Qingzhou City is lost, my Liao family will never have a family territory again.

The battle meeting he fiddled with has been going on for decades, and he has not seen any effect on his cultivation. Could that battle meeting bring back my Liao family? Now at the critical moment of my life and death, there are only three of us cultivators in the Liao family. Your father is the only mid-level cultivator in our family. He doesn’t care about the dangers of the family and is still obsessed with his state of mind and immortality!”

The young man did not reject the state of mind and could not help but speak, "Grandpa, that state of mind is also passed down from our ancestors of Liao. Dad practiced this state of mind and immortality, which is actually..."

"Shut up, what do you know!"

For some reason, Old Prince Liao was extremely disgusted with the state of mind. When he heard the young man defending the state of mind, he suddenly became furious and drank the young man's words.

Li Zhong, the chief steward of the Liao family, was waiting at the entrance of the study. When he heard the sudden anger of the old prince, he couldn't help but sigh.

He knew why the old prince hated this state of mind so much. When the old prince was still a young monk in his twenties or thirties, he served him with him. At that time, the old prince was even more obsessed with this state of mind than the current prince who stayed in Qingyun Temple to practice his state of mind.

Qingzhou City's famous state of mind fairy fighting conference, if it weren't for the old prince and the prince and his son, they wouldn't be as grand as they are now.

At that time, the old prince was also full of ambitions and wanted to use this state of mind to revive the Liao family. Therefore, he wasted the cultivation of his physical body and soul. As a result, he still achieved nothing when he was old. Only then did he wake up and regret it very much.

Unfortunately, at this time, he had missed the best practice period when he was young. The old prince has only been at the second level of Qi training stage. It is precisely because of this that the old prince hates this state of mind and believes that this state of mind has missed his right path to cultivation. From the initial extreme obsession to the extreme disgust.

In the study, the young man was startled and dared not say anything. Grandpa was irritable and often got angry, so he didn't dare to make his grandpa angry.

Old Prince Liao took a few quick breaths, his blood boiled, his face turned red, and he sat on the sandalwood chair for a long time before he calmed down.

"Cong'er, I, a cultivator in the spiritual fog world, has been extremely difficult since I founded the path of immortality cultivation. I have to accumulate vitality on the sun and the moon to achieve a small success. Where is there any quick way to achieve success in this world? If this state of mind is really effective, why did the ancestors set it as the right path and focus on the cultivation of the physical body and soul? Your father wanted to practice with the illusory state of mind to rapidly improve his strength, which would be on the evil path."

Old Prince Liao's anger did not last long. He scolded his son for being obsessed with the immortal path. He was not scolding his obsession with the past and sighed. It was a pity that his decent Liao family, the bloodlines left by ancient monks have fallen to this point today. However, no matter what, he must preserve the inheritance of Liao family's bloodline.

"Cong'er, you take your mother, brother and sister, and other relatives out of the city to avoid disaster. With me, the old man in Qingzhou, you can't even fall.

But the young man hurriedly said, "Grandpa, there are four casual cultivators from the Northern Twenty Gang. You stay alone, you are not their opponent!"

"Grandpa's life is approaching, and he is already a dying person. It's not a pity to die. If your father can come back, he might be able to support this family business, but...ah~. Now that grandpa stays, with the deployment in the royal palace, it can be considered a temporary one.

You leave, it is still time to leave now. After a while, the Northern Twenty Gangs have controlled the local gangs in Qingzhou City, and it is difficult for you to leave. After leaving Qingzhou City, find a small county town and settle the tribe members. Then you go to Xianyuan City to be a casual cultivator, bury your name and devote yourself to practicing. Didn’t the ancestors of our Liao family also build a huge family business from the casual cultivator. This is no big deal, and the big deal is that our Liao family starts from the start again."

There was an indescribable loneliness in the words of Old Prince Liao. He also understood in his heart that it was not easy to start over after the family declined! Maybe that day, the incense inheritance of his Liao family would be cut off. But even so, he had to try his best to preserve the only remaining incense.

"Grandpa, take care of yourself."

The young man was a little cowardly, but he was definitely not pedantic. He was in a hurry to follow the power. If the family wanted to be safeguarded, someone had to sacrifice. He was discouraged and kowtowed to Old Prince Liao a few times, turned around and hurried out of the study, summoned the relatives of the Liao family to evacuate Qingzhou City and go out to avoid disaster.

......

One hour later, Old Prince Liao arranged the transfer of his clan members, slowly returned to the court hall of the royal palace, and summoned the senior leaders of the gangs. At this time, he had regained his red face, and could not see the wilted face before.

The big men of the gangs suddenly became excited.

"As long as I am still alive, I will never let the Northern Gang be rampant in Qingzhou City."

Old Prince Liao glanced at the top leaders of the gangs in the lobby, and his tone was cold.

"Qinghong Gang, Master Liu, you set up a secret spy checkpoint inside and outside Qingzhou City and report to me at any time the actions of the Northern Twenty Gangs."

"Yes, respect the old prince's instructions!"

"Changqiu Gang, Master Liu, you are leading people to the key points of the gang leader in the city, with suspicious soldiers and traps everywhere. Let the Northern Twenty Gangs know the movements of local gang soldiers and attract them to disperse their troops."

"Yes, respect the old prince's instructions!"

"Iron Palm Gang, Big Sword Association, Chixue Hall, Iron Blood Alliance, you gangs are the most powerful gangs in the Qingzhou City area. They gather all first-class and above experts to prepare to counterattack the strongholds of the Northern Twenty Gangs in the city and drive them out of Qingzhou City!"

"Yes, respect the old prince's instructions!"

"Old Li, please send a few people to Qingzhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture to handle some things. If necessary, you can use the power of the yamen runners and officers to interfere with the operations of destroying the Northern Gang. With the friendship between our Prince Liao’s Mansion and the Prefecture and the garrison, they should help you with this."

"Yes, the old prince."

Li Zhong nodded quickly.
