Chapter 407 Is there no possibility of reconciliation?
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
Fearing that someone might secretly help the emperor, the Carefree King ordered the entire hall to be surrounded, and no one except him and Qingfeng Zhenren was allowed to enter.
In the quiet, secluded environment, the emperor's heart sank deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, a soft voice, as if only he could hear it, rang out: "Your Majesty, please relax."
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, but the hall was still empty, without a single person in sight.
He looked completely bewildered.
Looking at the emperor's face, Yu Zhiyi swallowed her heart completely.
He is still the Son of Heaven, but he faces a major hurdle.
If we can get through this, we will be able to ride the clouds.
If you can't overcome it, you'll have to leave in regret.
Moreover, she had just observed the Prince of Xiaoyao from the shadows. Although he was surrounded by purple aura, he did not have the appearance of an emperor.
Thankfully, it was just a false alarm.
The emperor opened his mouth as if to ask something, but Yu Zhiyi interrupted him: "Now is not the time to speak, and I cannot do anything for you at the moment. But please believe me, you will be alright."
"Please don't trust anyone until I get back, and please don't worry. As long as you stay calm, everything will be fine."
As the last word fell, the sound vanished completely.
The emperor was unsure whether Yu Zhiyi had really come or if he was hallucinating in his endless numbness and despair.
Knowing that Master Qingfeng might return at any moment, Yu Zhiyi dared not delay and left the palace after leaving words to reassure the emperor.
She wore an invisibility talisman throughout. Although the invisibility talisman might not be able to escape the detection of a Golden Core Realm expert, it was still enough to deal with ordinary people.
She flew towards the city gate.
Shengjing City has four gates: east, south, west, and north. She usually used the east gate to enter and exit, but since buying Taoyuan, she has become more accustomed to using the north gate.
But this time, she went to the South Gate, a place she had never set foot in before she left.
The moment they stepped out of the city gate, an overwhelming pressure descended upon them.
Yu Zhiyi's pupils shrank sharply, and at the last moment before the oppressive force landed on her, she threw out a bracelet.
That was her specially made defensive bracelet.
There are twelve beads in total on the bracelet.
Although there were only twelve, their defensive power was much greater than the ones she gave to others.
After all, with her current strength, anyone who could harm her must be no ordinary person, so she made herself a new bracelet.
Using spirit stones as materials.
There are twelve in total.
The bead, which could originally only withstand a full-force attack from a peak Qi Refining Realm expert, should now be able to withstand an attack from a Golden Core Realm expert.
Good news, she made the right bet.
The defensive bracelet made of spirit stones could indeed withstand Qingfeng Zhenren's attacks.
Bad news.
Each bead can only withstand one hit, for a total of twelve attacks.
However, Master Qingfeng is not limited to attacking twelve times.
In the blink of an eye, the bracelet made of spirit stones shattered into dust.
Fortunately, after throwing the bracelet, Yu Zhiyi didn't look back and sped away into the distance. At her speed, she covered more than a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.
Even with Qingfeng Zhenren's great supernatural powers, he couldn't immediately detect her when she was invisible.
She no longer cared whether making a noise would attract attention; she mobilized almost all her spiritual power to run at top speed.
Master Qingfeng stood atop the flying sword, which hovered in mid-air.
His robes fluttered, and his appearance was aloof and handsome, like a banished immortal.
The people in the city looked up and saw a man who looked like an immortal. They couldn't help but kneel down in unison: "Immortal! Immortal! So divine!"
Unbeknownst to them, the immortals they believed were cursing them out in their hearts.
If it weren't for his concern for these lowly people, he could have used his magic to attack Yu Zhiyi the moment he sensed something was wrong.
The reason they didn't take action was because they were worried that Yu Zhiyi would fight back desperately.
Although he was certain that his attack would not leak any spiritual power and would not harm ordinary people, it was only aimed at Yu Zhiyi, the culprit.
But who knows if she'll hold back when she retaliates?
If she were to try to drag him down with her before she dies, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Therefore, he had no goodwill towards the people below, and with a cold snort, he flew away on his sword into the distance.
That little reptile is indeed quite clever and has some tricks up its sleeve.
But if she thought that this would allow her to escape his grasp, she would be sorely mistaken.
Yu Zhiyi ran for dozens of miles in one breath and hid in a stone forest before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not running anymore?" A cold male voice rang out, and her body stiffened.
She then realized that the invisibility talisman had lost its effect at some point, and she was exposed to the morning sunlight.
She slowly raised her head and saw Master Qingfeng standing on the flying sword.
He looked down at her as if she were an ant.
Yu Zhiyi smiled wryly: "Invisibility talismans are indeed ineffective against experts at the Golden Core stage."
Master Qingfeng sneered: "It's just a trivial trick, so naturally it can't have any effect on me."
Knowing that escape was hopeless, Yu Zhiyi gave up struggling.
She relaxed and asked, "Before I die, can I ask you one question?"
Master Qingfeng raised an eyebrow.
He had no idea that any villain died from the curse of talking too much, and he was in a great mood when he saw that Yu Zhiyi had given up struggling.
He disliked trouble, and her obedience improved his mood considerably. He didn't mind giving her an answer to one question: "Tell me."
Yu Zhiyi asked, "I have no grudge against you, why do you insist on killing me?"
Qingfeng Zhenren coldly said, "Yue'er saved me. As her enemy, I will naturally eliminate this major threat to her."
"So it was a life-saving grace."
Yu Zhiyi let out a breath.
You Bingyue is really lucky.
First, he saved Du Ziheng, and later he saved Ouyang Shuo.
Not long after, they rescued another person, Qingfeng Zhenren.
The people she saved were all very important figures.
Yu Zhiyi simply couldn't imagine what kind of person she would save if there were a next time.
She asked, "Is there really no possibility of reconciliation?"
Master Qingfeng looked at her mockingly: "When you bullied Yue'er with your spiritual power, why didn't you think about making peace? Now that you're at their mercy, you suddenly want to make peace?"
He stretched out his hand, and a spiritual force so powerful it made one's scalp tingle instantly attacked Yu Zhiyi.
Yu Zhiyi seemed to have given up all resistance, and sighed, "Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do."
The last word was swallowed up by the brilliant spiritual energy waves and disappeared into the rumbling of the rocks.
