THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 118

Wei ChengPing snorted as he revealed an expression of dissatisfaction, “The strength of the Yu Family is profound. If I can harness this power, it will be a boon to me. With the strength of my Northern Wei imperial family as well as the strength of the Yu Family, as long as we work earnestly, even conquering the entire continent is nothing! However, the Yu Family had all this time broken away with the affairs of the Imperial Court, sitting high haughtily. Yu Man Lou still refused to see us the Imperial Family as a superior, even though I had visited him many times, he had never once seen me! How angry, how frustrated! But thinking from another perspective, this makes a lot of sense, so I can't do anything!”

Meng LiGe laughed out loud in response, “If Your Majesty can think about it this way, it is considered to have a far-sightedness ahead. The Yu Family had always held the position of absolute power in the Heavenly Star Continent but had never taken part in any disputes. They also had no close ties to the other Great Families, always shrouding themselves in secrecy and facing mortal problems nonchalantly. If you want them to participate in the wave of war this time, it is difficult! That's all I can say.”

Wei ChengPing forced a bitter smile on this, “That's why I placed my design on that Yu BingYan. Heh heh, if I really become the daughter-in-law of the Yu Family, let's see if that jerk Yu Man Lou will be sitting on the sidelines this time!”

Meng LiGe laughed out loud but did not say a word. Instead, he expressed his disapproval in his heart, ‘For an aristocratic family during a millennium like this, they naturally have their own set of rules. For them, girls in the household are just a political tool to establish relationships through marriage. Who would really waste family resources just for a little girl? You just underestimated the whole problem!’

Wei ChengPing was pacing the palace hall while raising his head, “Master was probably unconscious, in Yu BingYan's generation, she was the only direct descendant of women. In addition,” Wei ChengPing lowered his voice to emphasize his point, “According to the latest news I received, he said, Yu BingYan had suffered by the Heavenly Negative Locked Meridian since young and fellow Yu Man Lou spoiled her like no other. If he wanted the stars, he would not be satisfied with just the moon. Hehehe..”.

“Oh, so so! If so, then marrying her would be the same as tying up the entire Yu Family!” Meng LiGe furrowed her brows as she spoke. Although in theory, this may be so; the probability in reality will be very low. However, seeing Wei ChengPing's excited expression, he still swallowed the harsh words he was about to say.

“At another time, I helped my Royal Father with some of the affairs of the nation in Imperial Studies and found a treasure in his imperial jade box by chance. This treasure would be able to treat Yu BingYan's condition as well as solve the problem that had been giving Yu Man Lou a headache for the past ten years. If at that time, I took Yu BingYan as my first wife, Mr Meng, what do you think Yu Man Lou would say about that?” Wei ChengPing sounded satisfied, as if the entire world was within his grasp.

I guess Yu Man Lou still disagrees with the matter of taking part in that chaotic dispute. Meng LiGe thought to herself. ‘If Yu Man Lou finds out that you have a spiritual treasure that can really treat Yu BingYan and you force his hand, he will probably flatten the palace with the ground to put his hand on it, he said, rather than giving up on your demands. To think that you still look very satisfied with yourself, show off here.’

These words were naturally unable to be spoken. Therefore, he only said what Wei ChengPing wants to hear, “Mmm, if that's the case, I'm sure you will have an additional chance of success.”

As he spoke, Meng LiGe sighed darkly to herself. When he first saw the crown prince of ChengPing, he felt that this person did not look like a noble and was willing to treat those who were talented with respect. Originally, he had thought the crown prince would be a very successful person. But after socializing with him, he began to feel more and more as if this person meant nothing! It was as if he was someone who ‘doomed’ for great things, just what-if, and this might not really pay off.

“Item is called ‘Martial Order Medallion’,” Wei ChengPing took out a medal from his chest, which seemed to be flickering between gold and jade, throwing it carelessly into his hands. He continued, “Placed together with this Martial Order Medal is a booklet embossed with gold. Inside it depicts a mysterious sect, as well as a mystical form of communication! As it turns out, there is such a group of people, who do not pursue material wealth, or beauty. They just endlessly pursue their own specialized field, in medicine, divination, astrology or military skills, until losing themselves. As for their influence, it could be said that they were the number one hidden sect under the heavens!”

“Hidden sect number one?! This Meng has never heard such news before, please explain further, crown prince! ” Hearing this shocking news, Meng LiGe inevitably showed greater interest in such a topic.

“It has been revealed since a long time ago, that this sect is named ‘Membehind Heaven’, with its enigmatic origins and unexpected strength. Since it was considered taboo for any of them to hold positions of power, none of them had the desire to advance in their careers. However, their strength was truly on par with the legendary arhat!” Wei ChengPing spoiled him by revealing more.

“Around with legendary arhats? Did the Crown Prince overestimate their abilities? If this sect really had such power, how could they exist until now? Various countries have long united to destroy them!” Meng LiGe asked doubtfully.

“Master Meng won't understand this. Although their strength was inhumane, they had a more inhumane method of passing down their heritage. Each sect successor must not only have an enormous fate with teachers, but also an enormous talent. The most unreasonable thing is that after entering the sect, they have to break all ties with the secular world, leaving all — and all — attachments they have to material needs!” Wei ChengPing dropped the bomb.

“That's not entirely the case, those in the sect only need to avoid all conflicts in the world. After they had completely mastered their respective arts, they were allowed to roam free and unfettered, only having to answer the sect's call. Moreover, they can do whatever they want!” Wei ChengPing assured him.

“Whatever they want? R*pe, looting, arson, and murder are also accepted?” Meng LiGe said in shock.

“People in the sect usually avoid engaging in immoral and belittling activities to do such things. However, if they really wanted to do so, then the various countries on the continent could only turn a blind eye to their mistakes! They definitely wouldn't dare to involve themselves.” Wei ChengPing replied helplessly.

“Why is that?” Meng LiGe continued to press.

“This is because ‘Martial Order Medallion’! This Martial Order Medal was somewhat like an imperial emblem, as well as the traditions of the Beyond Heaven sect. They will never take part in strife, or seek to be tyrants, always living outside the secular world. But once a country manages to establish itself, on the first anniversary of its founding, Beyond Heaven will award the founder the Martial Order Medal. This medal could be used by the king or his successors, to ask for help from the Beyond Heaven sect. ‘Give this medal to the king, one medal for one life’, anyone's life accepted!’ However, each medal can only be used once and will be taken back after that, leaving the king to his own device.

“One medal in exchange for life, anyone's life is accepted! Such an arrogant attitude! ” Meng LiGe could not help but laugh, feeling that this matter was too unreasonable. ”

“This is no exaggeration; in hundreds of years, the medals of the martial order have appeared seven times. Therefore, it has changed the fate of seven people!” Wei ChengPing spoke grimly.

“I want to hear the details.” Meng Li Ge replied.

“A hundred twenty years ago, a terrifying demon appeared in Western Han, named ‘Blood Washed Heaven’ Ren PingSheng. This blood demon would go wild with happiness every time he drank blood and killed people as if he were cutting down wheat and had killed over a thousand farmers. Although the various countries had sent their experts to surround and exterminate it, it was futile. Left with no choice, the Western Han King hesitantly tried to use the Martial Order Medal. In just three days, Ren PingSheng suddenly lost his life under a nameless expert. That nameless expert was below the capacity of the current generation of the Beyond Heaven sect. But after that, disappearing without a trace,” Wei ChengPing spoke.

“Even if Beyond Heavens had high martial skills, this at most made them a killer pinnacle. This does not mean that they can do what they want!” Meng LiGe commented.

“Ninety years ago, South Zheng Emperor, Hao TianDi, was killed. He was attacked by an extraordinarily poisonous tool, and even with his incredible martial power and internal strength, he was unable to expel the poison out. Even the imperial physicians were helpless. However, when the king took out the Martial Order Medal, a messenger from Beyond Heavens appeared once again and used a unique medical skill, one that had never been seen before in this life, to save Hao TianDi and allow him to return from the dead. In these hundreds of years, every time the Martial Order Medal appeared, it would change one's fate without fail! ” Wei ChengPing said solemnly.

“So that's the problem. A lifetime medal, one can choose to kill or save!” Meng LiGe said in shock.

“That's what happened. If I use the Martial Order Medal in my hands and invite the Beyond Heaven saint physician, I believe I can save Yu BingYan! The Yu Family might be very powerful, but after all, they were not regents and hence would not have the Martial Order Medal. However, this medal has two limitations. First, it is forbidden to use a medal to kill the king of another country. Second, you cannot provoke anyone from Beyond Heaven. This includes trying to tie them up, and you can't plan against them either. Or else, the medal will be confiscated! ”
