Chapter 107 Didn’t expect it?

Soon, Bu Ruo and Xiao Yulan arrived at the gate of the palace. Not only them, but also many common people, ministers and the prince had arrived.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

Xiao Jingrui looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky with uneasiness in his heart, and said unhappily: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

"I suspect... could this be related to the Blessing Day? Could the Heavenly Master have truly lied, causing this disaster to befall our Great Zhou?"

"I think it's possible. Yesterday, on the day of prayer, the Heavenly Master was struck by lightning, and tonight there was another strange phenomenon in the sky. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem right."

"Your Highness, if this is really because of the Heavenly Master, I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Heavenly Master to come out and solve it."

Xiao Jingrui looked at the ministers chattering beside him and whispered angrily, "Tianshi is lying? Are you saying that I am not the child of destiny and unworthy of inheriting the throne? Or that you can't treat my mother well?"

"This old minister...this old minister did not mean that. I beg Your Highness to forgive me. However, I need to ask the Heavenly Master to come up with a solution as soon as possible for this strange phenomenon. The people are getting more and more, and the panic at this time is probably not good for Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jingrui wanted to slap these noisy guys to death: "The palace gates are already locked. If you have the ability to go in and ask for the Heavenly Master, then go ahead. Just don't get hacked to death by the guards as if they were assassins."

The ministers did not dare to say anything after seeing Xiao Jingrui's attitude. They could only continue to watch the strange phenomenon in the sky and pray silently in their hearts that it would not be a disaster.

It was bustling outside the palace, and it was no less lively inside. The emperor was now hurriedly heading to the Guantian Hall with Eunuch Li. As soon as they reached the door of the Guantian Hall, they saw the Taoist priest standing on the steps, looking at the strange phenomena in the sky and making calculations.

After a long time, the Taoist priest's face turned pale and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was supported by the palace servants behind him.

The Emperor hurried over upon seeing this, not noticing the few strands of white hair on the man's temples. "Master, are you okay? What exactly is this strange phenomenon? This kind of phenomenon has never appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past hundred years."

The Heavenly Master wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't know yet. I spent too much money praying yesterday, and the other party is too powerful. Now I can only take it one step at a time and see what the other party wants to do."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. This Heavenly Master will do his best to communicate with the other party."

The Emperor was shocked. "The Heavenly Master is saying that this strange phenomenon in the sky isn't a warning of disaster, but rather... man-made?"

The Heavenly Master glanced at the Emperor and sneered, "Man-made? Who could have such great ability to open up the void and come here? I'm afraid it must be an immortal or a god."

The emperor was stunned. Immortals? Gods? Do those really exist?

If they really exist, then why did they come to the Great Zhou?

"Let's go. I think the palace gate is in chaos now. I will go with you to take a look."

This matter has exceeded the emperor's understanding. He can only follow what the Heavenly Master says and regards the Heavenly Master as his backbone.

The red vortex in the sky grew bigger and bigger, and a figure gradually appeared in it, falling down at an extremely slow speed. Bu Ruo, who was standing below, felt a gaze resting on him the moment the figure appeared.

That gaze wasn't threatening, wasn't hurtful, but... mocking?

This made Bu Ruo speechless. Although she grew up in Wuming Mountain and her master and mistress were also people who practiced the righteous way, when it came to this ability, she could be sure without hesitation that those two people could not do it.

And judging from the information from Yanzhilou, no one in this world has such ability.

Knowing yourself, laughing at yourself, and perhaps even possessing this extraordinary ability...

Bu Ruo's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at the figure in the sky. Sure enough, the familiar laughter came to his mind.

"You silly girl, do you really think you can pretend to be me by finding a similar outfit? With your limited skills, you won't be able to finish your performance even if your spiritual energy is exhausted."

"If you fall from the sky while showing off, won't these people burn you to death? You know, they hate people who practice evil magic to the core."

Bu Ruo opened his mouth and after a long moment, he used his spiritual sense to speak: "Master Meiren, are you here to support me? They say that my disciple is a monster."

Hearing Bu Ruo's somewhat aggrieved voice, the woman laughed even more arrogantly: "You wish, I'm not here to support you, I just don't want you to lose face for me."

"After all, if you were burned to death, I wouldn't have to go through all the trouble to save you. If those bastards knew about it, I'd be laughed to death."

"You're so useless. It seems like there aren't enough books for you."

Bu Ruo couldn't help but roll her eyes. She hadn't even finished reading the pile of books she had.

The woman stopped falling when she landed above the palace gate. She just stayed there mysteriously without saying a word, which made Bu Ruo roll his eyes again.

This woman is actually pretending.

"If you roll your eyes again, I'll dig your eyeballs out."

Bu Ruo: ...

Just as the two were arguing in their spiritual consciousness, the palace gate opened, and the Taoist priest was shocked when he saw the woman.

"I don't know why the immortal has come to our Great Zhou this time. As long as the immortal tells me, I will help the immortal to achieve it even if I have to die."

The Heavenly Master knew at a glance that he was no match for the other party. Even if he couldn't figure it out, the powerful aura of the Tao from the other party was beyond his reach.

"Junior?" The woman's voice was icy. She slapped the Heavenly Master across the face, not at all like the way she had mocked Bu Ruo just now. "Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself this God's junior?"

This god? She is a god? She is a god like this?

If Bu Ruo didn't doubt the woman's words at all, the immortal pretending to be a god would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"Hmph, you silly girl, you're surprised, shocked, and didn't expect it, right? That's right, I'm a god, so go ahead and be happy."

Bu Ruo: ...

This woman must be schizophrenic and crazy.

Just as everyone was shocked, the previously invisible Prince Yongning suddenly shouted, "Look carefully, is she...she...is she the woman in the portrait in the ancestral temple?"

A portrait? The emperor quickly realized what was happening and squinted carefully in the moonlight. It was a likeness, a true likeness.

"You...are you the immortal who helped my Great Zhou eliminate those who practiced evil magic and saved the people of my Great Zhou from disaster?"

The emperor's voice was trembling, and he even needed the support of Eunuch Li to stand steadily.

"It was this God, but this God has some regrets."

"You actually call my disciple a monster after she has been reincarnated and experienced tribulations, yet you treat real monsters like honored guests and provide them with loving care. You are truly blind."

"I am only here to protect my disciple today. I do not wish to meddle in the affairs of your Great Zhou or Small Zhou. I will only say this once: if you dare to treat my disciple like a monster and burn him, I will turn this entire continent upside down and let you all be buried with my disciple!"
