Yaochi's five subordinates and Bi's five subordinates split into two groups, making a total of five groups. Each group carried two imperial edicts and quickly headed out of the city to intercept cultivators and players heading to the capital.

"What about those inside the city?" Li Qianxia asked.

“Let’s go pack,” Li Changzhou replied.

"Anyone who dares to remain in the capital at this hour should be punished more severely than let go." Yaochi's expression was icy.

"Don't worry," Li Changzhou said with a smile, reassuring Li Qianxia, ​​knowing she was afraid of killing the wrong person. "Jiajing has already ordered all cultivators in the capital to leave before tonight. If they don't leave, then don't blame us."

Li Qianxia nodded; she wasn't as kind as Li Changzhou had imagined.

Having gone through so much, she also knows that blind kindness will only harm both herself and others.

"The tribulation of humanity is not just a tribulation for the four of us. All those who want to become immortals and have desires in their hearts will have to enter this tribulation." Yang Qinglan had an ethereal temperament, like a fairy. "It arises from the human heart and is intricate and complex. Every tribulation is caused by the human heart."

"That's a good summary!" Yaochi laughed, rarely agreeing with her opinion.

"Is this what comprehension is?" Li Qianxia exclaimed. "No wonder Qinglan always gains more 'ability' than me in terms of experience and knowledge."

Li Changzhou smiled faintly, his face full of pride, as if he had said those words himself.

“However,” Li Qianxia’s eyes darted around, “I’m partly to blame for saying that!”

"Yours, yours. From now on, everything that belongs to your brother and me is yours." Yang Qinglan said dismissively, glancing at the parrot. "Why did you bring a bird back?"

"I want you to see if this is a player's skill," Li Changzhou explained.

"Water similar to that of the Water Maiden?"

"Um."

Yang Qinglan tapped the parrot with her Ruyi scepter, and a booklet flew out.

Yaochi whispered to Li Qianxia, ​​"What's mine will be yours from now on."

"That's not a good idea," Li Qianxia said, feigning righteousness, her face clearly saying: "Give me more!"

The parrot was indeed one of the player's methods, but after Li Changzhou asked for the parrot, the other party had already removed the skill from the parrot.

"These players are too cunning!" If Yang Qinglan hadn't been here and could access the information on the ground beneath her feet at any time, Li Qianxia wouldn't have dared to take a bath. The "Honey Pot World" was indeed the safest place.

Outside the capital city.

"Tie Guanzi, you're a senior who's met Zhu Yuanzhang. You've lived for so many years, can't you even wait a little longer? Master Tao said that going to the capital now is a dead end. We should come back on the Lantern Festival!"

"By the time of the Lantern Festival, all that will be left for this humble Taoist priest is glutinous rice balls!"

On Haituo Mountain, two Taoist priests from the Shangqing Palace of Longhu Mountain watched an old Taoist priest with white hair ride away on a cloud.

"Senior brother, what should we do? These people won't listen to us at all!"

"Let them go, you can't reason with those damned fools!"

Tie Guanzi was a Taoist priest during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. He was fond of wearing an iron crown and once entered the Nanjing Imperial Palace to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, attempting to become an immortal but failing.

Not far along, Tie Guanzi fell from the clouds and died instantly.

With a whistle, Misha came out and said in the difficult Xia language, "This imperial edict is really useful. I can feel that this person is very powerful!"

"Let's go, don't waste time." Zi Sui had already taken the storage bag from Tie Guanzi.

The same thing continued for three days, with rivers of blood flowing both inside and outside the capital.

The number of Taoist practitioners and masters in the entire Ming Dynasty decreased by more than half, and many lineages were lost as a result.
