This jade seal is made entirely of white jade, with a carved dragon on top, a jade button in the middle, and a large square seal with four sides. One corner is missing and has been repaired with gold. On it are engraved eight seal characters: "Receive the Mandate from Heaven, Long Life and Eternal Prosperity".

  This jade seal, since thousands of years ago, after a heaven-gifted emperor unified the Central Plains, created this seal to command all directions, has always become the symbol of the rule of the emperors of the Central Plains. Throughout the ages, no matter how many dynasties rose and fell, without the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, it would not be considered legitimate.

  This jade seal has always been collected in the Imperial Palace's Shangbao Supervision. Unexpectedly, mother hid it inside a brocade box and let me bring it out.

  He who holds this seal is entitled to the name of Son of Heaven and can issue commands to all under heaven!

  It was only then that she understood why the emperor's brother, who had usurped the throne, would go to such great lengths as to dispatch his imperial guards to pursue and kill her, a weak woman, from thousands of miles away - all because of this jade seal.

  Without this seal, his ascension to the throne would not be legitimate, and for the rest of his life he would have to bear the name of "usurper". Could that imperial uncle who considered himself superior to Taizu accept this?

  This jade seal, she had seen it on her father's desk years ago. Except for the missing corner, the whole body was transparent and flawless. But this time, the outer side of the jade seal had fine cracks, as if it had suffered a heavy impact. Mo Zichen suddenly reacted that the Taoist priest who wanted to capture herself suddenly retreated, could it be that this jade seal helped herself?

  She held the jade seal in front of her chest and murmured: "Father, mother. May your spirits in heaven bless your daughter!"

  The jade box had been broken, but Mo Zi Chen couldn't bear to abandon it. She dug a hole here and buried it, then hung the jade pendant around her neck and hid the jade seal in her bosom. Then she stood up.

  Here, she only rested for a short while, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. Gaohu's subordinates were three thousand imperial guards! Although the three thousand men scattered in this vast mountain range didn't amount to much, if he issued another order and let the local garrison participate, her situation would be precarious.

  She was too unfamiliar with this vast mountain, and had no idea where to go. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly remembered that when she chatted with Ren Fanxin, he once mentioned that in the midst of the ten thousand great mountains, there was a place with extremely high terrain, extremely steep and dangerous, hundreds of miles away from Taoyuan Village, and the terrain was extremely hidden. Compared to being deeply hidden in the mountains of Taoyuan Village, it was even more hidden by ten times. Even in Taoyuan Village, only a few people with high martial arts skills could go there to pick herbs. At that time, Ren Fanxin didn't know that Mo Zixun still practiced martial arts, and he just mentioned it casually while chatting. But now, the young man who was still so immature had already parted ways with her forever.

  At this moment, she didn't have time to sigh, and after thinking about the direction that Ren Fan Xing had told her before, she quickly moved forward. At this point, Mo Zi Chen was even more disheveled than when she had escaped from the north, but in her heart, she had never been as full of conviction as she was now.

  That night, she saw too many things beyond her imagination. She believed that in the unknown, the spirits of her parents could protect her!

  She gazed at the rising sun above her head, adjusted her collar, and then walked forward with determination.

  In Taoyuan Village, it had become a purgatory, with broken walls and rubble everywhere. The fires that had been burning were gradually extinguished, leaving countless corpses on the ground. Row upon row of horsemen stood in formation on the village square, while another group of soldiers combed through the village, beheading each corpse to prevent any from escaping.

  Gao Hu then had already put on his armor, bearing the wound, standing at the very front of the troops. At this time, a cavalryman came to report: "Reporting to General, there are 1,370 heads in total, all of them are here!"

  Gao Hu's cold and stern face was as still as an ancient well, seemingly the over a thousand lives were just a mere number to him. He let out a soft sigh in his heart, unfortunately he didn't know how many people were in this village, and in the darkness, he also didn't know if anyone had escaped.

  However, his goal is not here now, but to turn around and look at the other six cavalry teams. At this time, his subordinate crow had already said: "General Hui, the six troops have searched all around, within a radius of 50 miles, and there is no trace of that woman!"

  They did not mention her as a princess in front of the forbidden army, but only said that they were capturing a female fugitive.

  Gao Hu sank into thought for a moment, then said: "Pass down my orders, let the governor of this province gather all the civilians and laborers, and have them come here to await my instructions." He said coldly, "Even if it's a mountain range ten million li long, I will turn every last bit of it upside down!"

  Having said that, he waved his hand and thousands of war horses galloped out in an extremely neat formation.

  The last person left lit up the remaining fire around and burned down the entire Peach Blossom Village.

  The big fire burned for three days and three nights without stopping. This place, like a paradise on earth, was reduced to ashes and no longer existed in the world.

  When the dust settled, under a pile of fallen trees where the temple originally stood, there was suddenly some movement.

  It started with the wood swaying slightly, then the top few pieces of wood were pushed open, revealing a dark head.

  This was a tall and slender young man, with a face full of black dust, his features blurry. He wiped his hand across it twice, revealing a face as delicate as a flower cat's. It was Ren Gengxin.

  His slightly thin lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared blankly at the surroundings.

  Corpses littered the ground, more than half of them had been charred black. He stood there stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and let out a loud wail towards the sky. An unbearable sense of desolation and despair filled his chest at that instant.

  "I will not rest until I have avenged this, even if it means I am no longer human!"

  He thought of the Taoist priest he had met at the beginning, who only lightly waved his hand and made all his own people powerless to resist.

  Is this the power of an immortal?

  Then I will become an immortal too!

  No matter how difficult it is, I will achieve my wish.

  Ren Gengxin stood up firmly, and the young man seemed to become more mature in an instant. He bowed three times to the corpses on the ground, then, without collecting the bodies, he walked straight towards the village entrance.

  Ren Geng said in a low voice: "Lu Peng, I know you're also alive. When the cavalry came to attack, you were at the end and escaped to outside the village. I don't know where you escaped to, but I hope you remember everything that happened today!" After finishing speaking, his figure disappeared into the depths of the mountain.

  This secluded place has returned to its former tranquility, as if no one had ever discovered it.
