Gou Wuyan heard Chen Yan's words, but did not take action immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute. Let him leave first."

Chen Yan obeyed Gou Wuyan's words and was not anxious after hearing them. Instead, he waited quietly for Fang Jian to leave.

Suddenly, within a radius of three thousand miles around Yujing, mountains collapsed, earth and rocks fell. By the time Fang Jian had taken ten steps, all the fertile fields and manors of the princes and nobles of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty had been buried by the collapsed rocks.

The princes, nobles, common people and servants of Yujing were so frightened that they had to flee the city for their lives. The governor of Yujing came to ask for permission to appease the people, but Chen Yan ignored him and just looked at Gou Wuyan in front of him.

Fang Jian walked ten steps, only half of an incense stick had passed, and then he looked at Gou Wuyan with a smile and said, "Daoyou, it's your turn."

Gou Wuyan snapped his fingers, and a ray of fairy light flashed, and a column of incense was ignited.

Then Gou Wuyan smiled and said, "I'll leave first."

Then Gou Wuyan's whole body was filled with fairy light, and in an instant she looked like a crane with feathered clothes, a clear spring with flowing wind, a rosy glow with purple clothes, and three dots of white silk showing her elegance.

However, when Gou Wuyan was walking in writing, Fang Jian did not put any obstacles in his way, which made Gou Wuyan, who had been on guard, feel a little strange, but he quickly shifted his attention to the martial arts.

"Next is the martial arts." Gou Wuyan glanced at Fang Jian, and then the immortal light around him faded, and his expression became extremely serious in an instant.

At this moment, a golden light flashed between Fang Jian's eyebrows, and the Dingyuan Pearl quietly disappeared into the void above Gou Wuyan's head.

Gou Wuyan looked at Fang Jian's expression and knew that he was going to use some tricks, so he secretly activated his magic power and was ready to deal with Fang Jian's tricks at any time.

Gou Wuyan raised his right leg and just as he was about to take a step forward, a transparent golden light suddenly fell and instantly froze Gou Wuyan.

But what surprised Fang Jian was that at the moment Gou Wuyan was immobilized, a clone suddenly emerged from Gou Wuyan's body and wanted to continue moving forward.

Unfortunately, as soon as the clone appears, it will be immediately illuminated by the Dingyuan Pearl and unable to move.

Gou Wuyan's real body suddenly showed a look of horror in its eyes, and Chen Yan and others behind him also looked slightly solemn. They saw that Gou Wuyan was just standing there, pretending to take a step, but not moving.

As the fragrance on the side slowly burned, time was running out, and Chen Yan and others became more and more anxious.

Time passed slowly, the incense stick soon burned out, and cold sweat covered Gou Wuyan's forehead.

'Snap'

When the last stick of incense ash fell to the ground, the incense stick had burned out, but Gou Wuyan had not taken a single step forward.

Fang Jian's mind moved, and the Dingyuan Pearl immediately flew back to Fang Jian's Niwan Palace. Gou Wuyan realized that his body could move, and his real body immediately turned into a ray of fairy light and flew away, leaving only the clone behind.

Although it is a clone, it is no different from the original body. At least mortals like Chen Yan cannot tell the difference.

Gou Wuyan's clone looked at Fang Jian solemnly, then bowed and said, "I lost."

'Wow'

Chen Yan and the others in the back were instantly in an uproar, especially Chen Yan who asked, "National Master, you haven't even taken a single step, how can you say you've lost?"

Gou Wuyan's clone flew to Chen Yan's side and whispered to him, "Your Majesty, this person is a bit strange. You might as well agree to what he said first and deal with it later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan glanced at Gou Wuyan in confusion, but then his doubts faded. He turned to Fang Jian and said, "Since the Imperial Preceptor has admitted defeat, even if the Taoist priest wins, I wonder how he can teach me?"

Fang Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please look."

After saying this, he used his magical power to send the books about Nuwa to Chen Yan and said, "Your Majesty, there are countless rumors like this in the Great Zhou. Especially since Nuwa is the Holy Mother of our race, how can you slander her like this? Your Majesty, please order the banning of these books."

Chen Yan took the books in his hands and read them one by one. Then he turned his attention to the Prime Minister and handed one of the books to him and said, "What does the Prime Minister say?"

After reviewing the book, the Prime Minister said calmly, "Our dynasty never punishes people for their speech. All citizens of the Great Zhou have the right to freedom of speech. The court can issue an imperial decree to urge them to stop publishing such books, but it's not appropriate to force a ban. We must remember that guarding against the people's mouths is more important than guarding against the river. Since this book has been widely circulated, it means that it is something that the people enjoy. How can we forcibly ban it?"

Chen Yan nodded and said, "The Prime Minister is right."

After saying this, Chen Yan turned to Fang Jian and said, "Master Fang You, I can agree to this matter, but at most I can issue an imperial decree to persuade the people not to publish such books, but I cannot force them to do so."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, please issue an edict as soon as possible. I will take my leave now."

Chen Yan bowed and said, "Master, take care."

...

After Fang Jian left, Chen Yan immediately returned to the palace and summoned the imperial teacher Gou Wuyan.

"National Master, why do you admit defeat today?" Chen Yan asked Gou Wuyan.

Gou Wuyan said, "Your Majesty, that man is a bit strange. When I tried to move, a golden light descended from above and froze me... I believe he must have a top-grade immobilizing magic weapon. I don't know his background, so I won't act rashly."

Chen Yan nodded as if understanding something, and then said, "I don't quite understand the affairs of the immortals, but since the Imperial Master has said so, I will no longer doubt it."

Upon hearing this, Gou Wuyan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. I would like to report to the Three Yang Patriarchs and ask them a question."

Chen Yan's expression became serious, and he said, "Since we are here to pay homage to the Three Yang Patriarch, I will go with the Taoist priest."

When the two of them said this, they heard a burst of wailing coming from outside the hall.

After a while, the eunuchs came to report that those who were buried in those manors and fertile fields were the royal relatives.
