Hu Ziyu, a budding medical student, studied diligently for many years and successfully enrolled in the No.1 university in A City. Not long ago, he met a talented and promising boyfriend at the fres...
He has already escaped far away
"Young friend from Shennong Temple, please help me open the Guanfan Mirror." said the Lord of Phoenix Valley.
Pei replied: "Yes." The original intention of the Phoenix Valley Master was to persuade Zhuque to return to the right path through the call of family affection.
But once the Observation Mirror opened, the Suzaku child's figure was nowhere to be found. The densely packed crowd of black-clad figures in nightgowns filled the entire screen. Not to mention the presbyopic Valley Master, even Pei had to use 64x magnification to barely discern Hu Ziyu's location, a hint of scarlet.
"Where is my sparrow? His golden feathers are the most dazzling. I won't miss it!" The Phoenix Valley Master kept blinking his dim eyes, not wanting to miss any corner that might be missed.
Pei's bronze-gold PAD was almost burned to scorch by her scorching gaze.
Pei was not worried about the safety of PAD, but was paying close attention to the security's movements.
The guard was motionless, but suddenly a huge monster appeared in the sky, uprooting mountains and knocking down trees. It turned out to be a dragon boat.
"Old lady, be careful!" Unable to delay, Pei simply lifted the Valley Master by the waist and teleported back eighty meters.
The dragon boat drove straight in, heading straight for the Taiyin Main Hall at a speed of 200 kilometers.
Any obstacles encountered along the way, whether they were people, objects, trees, or pillars, were ignored and violently pushed aside. The temporary security guards were all stunned and panicked, scrambling to get out of the way. Not only did the dragon boat show no signs of slowing down or stopping, but the overlord of the four seas—Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea—was now standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window located in the dragon's eye, looking down on everyone in front of the boat.
Beside Ao Guang stood a short young man with an ordinary appearance. He did not have the elegant and handsome face of Suanni or the angular features of Jiaozi, nor did he have the red hair and golden feathers inherited from his mother's clan like Zhao. He looked like a typical passerby.
"Pulao, show us what you can do," Ao Guang ordered. "Yes!" Pulao accepted the order, his mouth, barely two inches wide when closed, transformed into a megaphone, and he shouted, "Your uninvited guests and your night march on the ground a month ago are serious violations of the 'Assembly and Parade Law' and the 'Palace Non-Aggression Ordinance'. Please withdraw immediately, or I will report you to the High Heaven Palace from the Dragon King Palace and the Taiyin Palace for judgment. This is your second warning."
Pulao, the fourth son of the dragon, is famous for his singing voice, which can be heard from far away. People often carve his image into the animal button on the handle of a huge bell, in recognition of his ability to "transmit sound thousands of miles away."
Later, many of the sound-producing and sound-recording magic weapons in heaven contained talismans drawn by Him, and the Mike purchased by Ling Hong was no exception.
About 80% of the pseudo-security guards were driven away by the dragon boat, and the remaining 20% were frightened by Pulao's voice and retreated one after another.
Although Pulao only slightly modified the words of the Moon God, the impact on the target object was greatly different due to the different specializations and habits of the magic.
Ao Guang's direct command of the Dragon King's army poured out their boats, each man armed with a Soul-Fixing Hook. Their purpose wasn't to kill the enemy, but to subdue and capture them. Through the muted livestream, Ao Guang couldn't fully grasp the identity of the mastermind, but he had an 80% idea.
Interfering, or even resorting to violence, in the affairs of other halls might be borderline illegal, so Ao Guang didn't dare act recklessly. Before the troops set out, he not only sent a private message from the Celestial Beings to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother (with a link to the YourGod livestream attached), but also dispatched several Dragon Palace messengers to deliver written petitions to the Lingxiao Hall, the City God Hall, the Martial God Hall, and other relevant departments. This move was intended not only to prevent the Rabbit God Hu Ziyu from suffering a serious and potentially devastating loss, primarily to his fellow immortals and friends, but also to prevent his own son from committing an irreparable offense.
The navy standing behind the Dragon King and his son, though eager to report the gods' plight in the mortal world, still gave way to the Dragon King's army queuing to disembark. "Lord Ao, why don't we go to the mortal world first? It's just as urgent."
When Pulao had a chance to catch his breath, he released the water-condensing shield covering his ears and asked.
"It's enough to have 'that person' in the world. He can fight a hundred with one person, and he can handle it with ease." Although he said he could handle it with ease, Ao Guang's facial expression was extremely angry. His brows were furrowed so tightly that he could even break bamboo chopsticks and pens.
The dragon boat stopped in the front yard of Guanghan Palace, with the dragon head only a hundred steps away from where Linghong and Taiyin Xingjun were. Soon, Pei Ye and the Phoenix Valley Master leaped in front of them.
"I've compressed all the information I know into a quick PPT and will send it to you for review," Pei said to Ling Hong. Ling Hong, with Ao Guang and his son and his subordinate troops supporting him on the front lines, withdrew and stopped intervening.
After obtaining the approval of Taiyin Star Lord, several guards entered the hall and conducted a carpet search to help eliminate all the spirits of Ya Zi.
Pei was not a member of the Taiyin Palace, so Linghong shared the file he gave him to the group "Our family [★Deep Love Taiyin Palace★, the Palace Master is Super Pretty and Beautiful DER]".
Then, he opened the bag and took a quick look.
The galactic dust itself was harmless; it was the Phoenix's flames that caused it to emit such intense heat. The original idea of the proposer was to use the scorching hot ore directly from the Lava Valley, but it was scorching hot, difficult to carry, and not inexhaustible.
But if the main body of the meteorite is replaced with galactic stardust, which is as abundant as cosmic waste, it can be moved at will using a storage magic weapon, and it is not a problem to grab it with bare hands.
Therefore, technical personnel are needed to support the spell that can wrap the stone in eternal flames, as well as the provider of phoenix flames.
"This is why they decided to instigate Phoenix Young to commit murder," Ling Hong thought, "Wait a minute, he belongs to our camp..." Pei immediately noticed his thoughts and said, "We are from the same multi-party camp, so we can go hand in hand.
Besides, a love rival's enemy is a friend. Such a simple and straightforward reason is most likely to impress a young man deeply in love. Princess Weiyu discovered it too slowly. To preserve Suzaku's reputation and avoid punishment from his family, she chose to investigate the truth on her own, thus missing the opportunity to seek help and put an end to the crime.
In the end, they become abandoned pawns after being fully utilized by the shrewd.
"The princess is unaware of Ya Zi's conspiracy in the mortal world. She thinks that by replacing Suzaku and becoming the leader of the students who invade the Moon Palace, she can let the Aijia team let go of her ignorant brother." Pei said again.
Ling Hong was not surprised by this, as he was only interested in the technique of combining fire with star stone.
As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. While the Lava Valley ore isn't true gold, it has a high ignition point and is resistant to extinguishing. However, the same cannot be said for the Milky Way stardust. While it could be imbued with fire magic and then flung toward the human world through the Observation Mirror, at the rate at which meteorites typically dissipate, they would burn up before reaching Earth's surface. Furthermore, this flame is no ordinary one; it's the life-giving fire of the Phoenix itself.
"Thinking about this, do you have any idea?" Pei Qing shook the feather fan, pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
Ling Hong pondered for a moment and speculated: "The alchemy class in the Pharmacy Department of Shennong Temple, but it is purely personal speculation." Although Lu Jiuchun of the Pharmacy Department is not a member of the Aijia team, he is Hu Tianbao's mortal enemy.
When the great epidemic hit South China, the gods cared about the people and displayed their abilities to save the world.
At first it was just to save the disease, but later it somehow evolved into a competition to see who was better.
What Ling Hong knew was that a spy from the Alchemy Course of the Pharmacy Department had lurked in the Golden Toad Institute and had stolen the recipe prepared by Hu Tianbao. This was the Taiyin Palace's version; but if it were the Shennong Palace's version, the suspect and the victim would be reversed.
The smile on Pei's lips deepened.
"Yes, Ling Yizi from the alchemy class might be one of the masterminds behind this incident." Ling Yizi was the Taoist in yellow who left the banquet early due to Hu Ziyu's anger.
His daily words and actions are somewhat eccentric, and his reputations are mixed, making him a mysterious figure who defies easy description. Secondly, alchemy is the art of smelting various elements. To create pure gold or an elixir of life from various minerals, metals, and plants requires a technique that ensures the materials remain indestructible over time.
However, this technique is not passed on to outsiders. There are very few people who are willing to study and inherit it in Shennong Temple. Looking around the heavenly realm, the only people who are familiar with it are Emperor Shennong, Lu Jiuchun, Ling Yizi and a few staff members of the Pharmacy Department.
Investigating cases wasn't the exclusive responsibility of the Moon Palace, and the Taiyin Palace's criminal intelligence network was extremely limited. Further investigation and trial would have to be handed over to the City God Palace and the Sky-High Palace. Ling Hong had other concerns.
"No one comes to the temple for no reason. This time...who do you want to get rid of with the help of Taiyin Palace?" he asked.
Pei covered his mouth with the fan, his eyes narrowed into crescents. "You're joking. I'm a pure-hearted person who doesn't like to fight."
"Forget it. I guess you definitely won't say it out loud. Anyway, I'm not from Shennong Temple, so I don't really care. You'll know after a few days by checking the personnel change announcements online." It would be a lie to say that he didn't care. After all, it was related to Hu Tianbao's reputation, and it was better to get to the bottom of it than to keep it confusing.
Ling Hong crossed his arms and asked another question. "Speaking of which, Lu Jiuchun queued up and sent love letters, claiming he wanted to pursue our master. This was probably not sincere, but simply an attempt to maintain a relationship and avoid the Taiyin Palace's investigation into past accusations. And you, using these pretexts for intimacy, are probably just a cover for your true motives..." Pei sighed, raising his folding fan. "Mr. Hong always disbelieves me, which is truly heartbreaking. Just keep your eyes open. In this vast Heavenly Court, who are truly sincere? When it comes to sincerity, I'm no less sincere than anyone else."
"As you wish. Master Phoenix Valley, you brought this here, so remember to return it." Ling Hong had no likes or dislikes for his own master, and he could never sympathize with the so-called admiration of others. With that, he shrugged and walked away, looking for Taiyin Xingjun, the female fairy in charge of monitoring the electric eyes, and the injured security guard.
His father had come to visit, and Chao had mixed feelings. He was happy that he should be able to escape unscathed, and even if someone disregarded their brotherhood, they would probably hold back for the sake of his father's face. But he was worried that if his father got angry again, it would be as Marshal Zhongtan predicted, and the people along the East China Sea coast would be doomed to be flooded.
The mood was equally complicated for Taiyin Star Lord. As an ancient immortal god and the master of a palace, he was unable to resist foreign enemies. It was already a problem that he had tried his best to protect his subordinates. Now, he had to trouble unrelated units to send troops to rescue him. It was really embarrassing.
However, since even the boss of the Long family has been dispatched, it seems that he can rest assured and no longer have to sit in the city of sorrow and defend Mingyue Pass with a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers in the rain.
Should Ying Linghong advise to go to the alchemy furnace or stay in the front hall to guide the newly arrived Dragon King's army? Before Taiyin Star Lord could make up his mind, he heard the cream-gold PAD on the edge of his sleeve making bursts of crazy and demonic sounds.
The Queen Mother of the Underworld has sent you a request to open a shortcut (approved by the Lingxiao Palace's Supervisory Department). Default route: A City University Gymnasium, Dome, Taiyin Palace, Guanghan Palace Front Courtyard. Although aware that Lady Fude and the newly crowned Tiger Lord were among the accompanying entourage, the Moon Star Lord was still somewhat perplexed. Opening a shortcut would immediately save the trouble of entering the Heavenly Palace through one of the forty-eight Southern Heavens, but what if this was a setup by the enemy? That would be disastrous.
Just when he was about to consult Ling Honggao, he looked up and his sight happened to meet the navy officer who was nodding frantically in his dragon-like golden eyes, raising his arms in a circle to indicate OK.
"OK? Okay then." Taiyin Xingjun placed his five fingers on the screen, allowing the scanner to quickly identify it. Within a second, it was done.
The fierce fighting at the front line was still going on, but everyone in Taiyin Palace, young and old, had let down their guard. The Dragon King's army was focused on searching rather than supporting, and they didn't respond to shouts. He kept complaining in his heart.
His right hand, which was not holding a weapon, was actively exerting its strength to fight against the left palm of Ya Zi, which was twisting the magic formula; the replica of the Qiankun Circle grasped in his left hand was also connecting with the right palm of Ya Zi, which was infused with magic power, and sparks of orange sparks were created.
The brothers had different foundations and cultivation levels. Yazi's mother's clan, descendants of the Wolf God, were formidable warriors; Chao, with half his body a phoenix, possessed a healing ability far superior to his ability to kill enemies in battle. Within a minute, Chao's defeat was evident. "Woo..." Even with his father present, Chao couldn't keep shouting, "Help! The prince is trying to kill someone!" Besides, Ao Guang wasn't the type of father to favor one child over another.
Before he could finish his words, a warm hand touched his back.
Chao was greatly surprised, fearing that he would be attacked from both front and back. If he was beaten to death, he would be thrown back to the Lava Valley to soak in the lava hot springs.
"It's been too long since I last fought with you. Have you even forgotten how to use the Qiankun Circle?" What came from behind was not only a loud and full voice, but also abundant and powerful magic power.
Chaodun felt greatly encouraged, as if he could muster up the energy to fight a few more times.
"Go." The moment the man behind him shook his arms, a stream of magic power flowed out.
It's like a pressure pump, injecting huge propulsion force into the fluid-like magic power.
The replica of the Qiankun Circle was forced out, and Yazi was caught off guard and unable to block it. The heavy golden ring suddenly hit his heart. He lowered his head and spat out a large mouthful of bright red.
"Damn! It must hurt so much..." Chao had suffered from this move more than three thousand years ago, and the fear was still there.
Although his brother was stubborn, mean and difficult to deal with, he still felt a little bit sorry for him.
"Now's the time to grab him!" the person behind him shouted. The replica Qiankun Circle obeyed the command, its rigid body instantly transforming into a flexible, artificial silicone ring. Like a self-operating lasso, it grabbed Jiaozi's head, tightening as it reached his waist and abdomen, returning to its original, heavy, shale-gold material.
"It's done!" Ling Hong exclaimed happily, and Taiyin Xingjun and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder which hero of the Temple of Martial God you are. I am deeply grateful for this great favor." Taiyin Star Lord strode forward and was about to bow, but the closer he got, the clearer he saw that the hazy figure with fairy air was not a complete person, but a "three-headed, six-armed monster" cut in half.
The strange figure stood on its left foot, atop a red wheel etched with golden flames. The right side of its body was missing, but three arms were attached to its left torso, each holding a gold brick, a half-broken Qiankun Circle, and the Yin-Yang Left Sword. One and a half heads protruded from its neck, the extra left half of its skull growing beside its left jaw, housing a single left eye, half a nose, and a mouth.
"What the hell!" Ling Hong was stunned for a moment, and made a comment without restraint. Taiyin Xingjun's outstretched hands and feet froze in mid-air. Although he wanted to express his gratitude, he hesitated to move forward.
Wei Zhi mocked the other person's calmness in the face of the sudden change, shook his head and sighed, "The clone you created this time is really too weird."
"What clone?" the figure shed its veil, shouting, "I am the real, undeniable original!" Though it was the original, the manifestation wasn't complete; the left half remained in the human world, ready to engage the enemies on earth. Even if you ignore the fact that the manifested being possessed only half of a three-headed, six-armed form, the middle head still bore a strikingly handsome visage, a young man of distinguished appearance. "Marshal of the Central Altar," Ling Hong, judged this based on the magical weapon he possessed and his close friendship with Long Sanzi.
"Your humble servant, Master Linghong, the assistant officer of Jade Rabbit Temple, would like to express my sincere gratitude for your rescue on behalf of the entire temple." Linghong was still thinking about the agreement he had made with Hu Ziyu, but the human world and the ghost world were in different dimensions, so he could not apply on the supervision station APP. After paying 100 days of coins, he activated his magic power and directly summoned the rocket elevator down.
He originally wanted to throw down a ladder and let everyone climb slowly from the dome of the gymnasium to the Nantian Post Station closest to Mingyue Pass. But now the shortcut has been completed, everyone can go directly to the front yard of Taiyin Palace, saving the trouble of customs clearance and inspection.
Regardless of the route, the most thorough approach is to personally or send a clone to meet them. This will also increase the enemy's combat power in the event of an ambush. "If anyone needs to thank someone, thank Ao Jia Sanlang. He was the one who noticed the recent unusual behavior of Ya Zi's men and asked me to intervene," said the "half-body" of the Zhongtan Marshal.
Ao Guang, with a frown on his face, walked slowly into the courtyard. Anyone could see that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
At the official banquet, he had already scolded Ya Zi once, hoping that he would restrain himself and reflect on himself.
At that time, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were unwilling to pursue responsibility, and the immortals and gods also kept silent, so the matter was left at that. But this time, such a large-scale military campaign was being launched, and fighting was taking place in someone else's cave. Even if he was a high-ranking official, it would be difficult for him to find a way to calm the situation and absolve his son of guilt.
Ao Guang first lowered his eyes and sighed, then he straightened his chest and took a step forward, reaching out to tighten the body-shaping Qiankun circle tied around Ya Zi's waist.
"Follow me to Lingxiao Palace and Ziwei Palace to apologize." Ever since Ya Zi became unable to move, he has remained silent and snorted out chilling sneers in his nasal voice.
"It's too late!" Ao Guang said, "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. Why say it's too late?" Everyone present thought the same as him, believing that since Jiaozi had committed a serious offense, he naturally couldn't expect to be granted criminal immunity.
Unexpectedly, the line of Jiaozi's lips curled up, but his smile remained the same. He bent his right hand and slapped his crown hard.
Snap! There was a crisp sound of the skull breaking on the forehead, and broken bones were scattered everywhere, causing the female fairies to scream.
Ya Zi's tall and sturdy body leaned back, and a ray of dazzling orange-red essence shot out from the crack and into the vast night sky.
The Marshal of the Altar was amazed at the self-destructive magic power.
"Oh no, we have to quickly pick up brother Wang's essence and throw it into the Dragon Palace's alchemy furnace..." Chao spread his wings and was about to fly into the sky to intercept, but Ao Guang stopped him with a word.
"No need to blame me for being careless. He... has already escaped far away!"
