126 COMPLETION OF MERIDIAN OPENING

The group of messengers was too nervous about giving a reply. The display amused long Tao. He asked the keeper to sense the cultivation of everyone else. The highest cultivation of the group was a Qi general level 1.

Long Tao pointed his sword tip at him. ” I would like to ask some questions about your group. Now that I think about it, this seems necessary. That bastard can wait. ”

He signaled the remaining Qi general level practitioner to step forward. ” What is the current situation within the Chu kingdom.” His face was filled with hesitation. ” This is your last chance. Choose your next words very carefully. They would decide on your future.”

” The news that our head gave you was accurate. The king suffered from some unknown disease, and the first princess instantly took the chance to take the throne for himself.”

” Did none of the members of royal palace ever thought of verifying the claims.” Long Tao felt that the circumstances were suspicious.

“Only the highest-level officials were allowed to visit to keep the matters under wrap. Many of the minions suspected this to be the doing of the first prince.”. Long Tao could hear a tinge of regret in his voice. ” Then why didn’t you rebelled against this cover-up.”

” The active rebels were executed under charges of treason against the royal clan. A mysterious group of people appeared out of nowhere to take the deceased’s place. These people were skilled and managed to penetrate every single aspect of the Chu kingdom. The leader was one of the newcomers.”

Long Tao laughed out loud on hearing this. ” SO they had plans for the Chu kingdom as well. I guess they managed to get their grip on that gutless idiot. His mental status is fragile enough to have made such an irrational decision.”

” what about the second prince?” It was the second question that came into Long Tao’s mind. With the power he had given the second prince, he should have been able to escape alive with both his helpers.

.....

” The second prince is being hunted throughout the kingdom. He managed to escape capture and is leading the rebellion against the crown. But his forces are too weak.” Jiao Mingue understood the mater. She looked ta Long Tao. It seems that the organization behind the incident wanted to do the same with Jiao’s country.

“I hope you will report the matter precisely as I have listed it. We will be commencing war in 2 months. If you prince wants to begin it before, we war ready to play along.” Long Tao had confidence the attack would not occur until two months.

Royal palace-

” Alert all the border forces and subsidiary clan. We need to declare an emergency immediately. The Jiao country is officially at war now.” Long Tao gave out a set of instructions to be carried out.

Jiao Shen wanted to prevent this war from happening. ” Shouldn’t we give peace talks a try? Why switch to an offensive stance immediately?”. The words of the prince gathered varied responses. The ministers present were looking at him with a berating look.

Jiao Mingue gave out a deep sigh. Jiao Shen was still a student until recently. He didn’t have any experience in politics.

” You need to think about the words written in the royal decree king. This demand was not a part of the peace talks but was rather a piece of advice from the king. The first prince of Chu wants to start a war with us. We need to respond accordingly.” Jiao Mingue took upon herself to clarify the situation.

” Arrange for transportation immediately. We will be leaving for the north-eastern war front. Have a group of a messenger sent to the general. He needs to begin his preparation immediately. I know it might come as a surprise to you, but Jiao’s country might have suffered from the same fate. If we don’t win the war, they will be devouring the Jiao country anyway. We can’t let that happen.”

The Crimson Lord world-

Long Tao was in the final stages of opening his meridians. The keeper’s advice was working. The milkstone dew was a potent cleansing resource. He combined it with the regular Qi and rushed through the blocked meridians.

The results were soon visible. The blockage began to open one after another. Long Tao was surprised to see how effective it was. This dew was a miraculous resource.

It was a necessity that he break-through the last phase as soon as possible. He needed to start the break-through to Qi general level as well. The war was in one to two months.

The last meridian remained. Long Tao used his sword and saber aura. It was the idea of the keeper to integrate it with the flowing dew to get more effective results.

The last meridian was the most difficult to open. Long Tao tried to barge in multiple times. The impact generated hurt the meridian. Long Tao was unable to move due to the injury. He could only try to open it up.

One strike, two-strike...10 strikes, it continued until finally, Long Tao was able to open it up. He spewed a lot of coagulated blood. The situation got worse immediately. The dew was known to be cleansing resource, but Long Tao’s internal injury didn’t allow him to sustain such an intense cleansing. He promptly fainted from exhaustion.

The keeper immediately applied the medical paste to his body and fed him a healing pill. He was trying to regulate the Qi within Long Tao’s body to help the recovery. After a while, Long Tao finally stabilized his condition. The keeper was relieved to see that the situation has stabilized.

He finally managed to break through the last tertiary meridian. The same reform as the two cases before this retook place. Upon the connection of all the extremities, Long Tao’s body began to undergo another qualitative change. His body ‘s skeletal structure got modified. His bone density seemed to have increased.

The dew was working with much more effectiveness now. Long tao’s body started to excrete the impurities out.

Long Tao couldn’t feel it due to the exhaustion of his Qi.
