Longevity Chronicles

"The Ninth Prince possesses impressive cultivation skills, and even had Cultivators sent by the Taishang Demon Sect to guard him. However, the scene was chaotic at that time, and the Dragon-locking Needle is an invisible object, activated by mere thought, making it nearly impossible to guard against."


"Along with the screams, the Ninth Prince's Protective Demon Light shattered, and his Dragon Root was pierced by eighty-one Xuan Nu Needles. It was bad enough that his accumulated Essence Blood was completely drained, but the root of his Dragon Root was also locked by the Exotic Treasure. If he could not break the curse within eighty-one days, for the rest of his life, he would be incapable of walking the great path of Human Relations."


"Due to this catastrophe, the Ninth Prince fell into a rage, repeatedly attempting to lead a military campaign against Xiao Chenzhou, the father of Princess Taiping, leader of the branch of the Taiping Army advancing towards West Capital."
