Chapter 394 You try it, see if she dies faster or I die faster.
The Empress Dowager's body completely relaxed.
You Bingyue also looked relaxed.
A dying man is nothing to fear.
The Empress Dowager said dismissively, "Alright, I summoned Lord Yu here today because I have important matters to discuss. Let's not talk about irrelevant people."
Yu Zhiyi's gaze turned cold.
“My master’s lifespan is nearing its end, not already over. Even if a Golden Core Realm expert only lives for one more day, there are still many things he can do.”
The Empress Dowager's back, which had just relaxed, stiffened instantly, and the color drained from her dignified face.
You Bingyue's face also turned pale.
They have all experienced Qingfeng Zhenren's abilities.
Putting everything else aside, their ability to fly on swords alone is enough to earn them the respect of the world.
Moreover, for a powerful being who can fly on a sword, killing a few mortals is extremely easy.
Yu Zhiyi looked at their pale faces with interest, a half-smile on her face: "You don't actually think that a Golden Core Realm expert at the end of their lifespan is in the same state as an ordinary old man, weak and powerless, and easily bullied by everyone, do you?"
You Bingyue gripped her palms tightly.
How could she forget that even a severed snake head can kill a person?
These people have completely broken off relations, so Yu Zhiyi is no longer bothered to maintain a facade of politeness.
Dignity is always a two-way street.
"If the Emperor has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave."
She turned to leave.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended upon him.
Yu Zhiyi felt as if she were bound by heavy shackles, and her feet were stuck in the mud, unable to move.
Her pupils contracted sharply.
Is this the oppressive aura of a Golden Core Realm expert?
That's terrifying indeed.
"It seems that Master Zichan is really getting old. The disciples he has taken in are worse than the last, and they don't even know the most basic etiquette."
To call her ill-mannered?
You Bingyue was once a top figure in her world, and she knew that there was an aura of pressure between martial artists.
When faced with the pressure from higher-level martial artists, lower-level martial artists usually cannot muster the will to resist.
Even among ordinary experts, there is suppression; this must be even more true for those who cultivate immortality.
Realizing that Yu Zhiyi was probably too oppressed to even think of resisting, she smiled.
With her hands behind her back, she slowly walked to Yu Zhiyi's side. Looking at the woman's pale face, the pleasure in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Yu Zhiyi, you've finally met your match!
“Lord Yu, your master is certainly a remarkable figure, but that doesn’t mean you deserve Qingfeng Zhenren’s special regard.” Her red lips curved slightly, and her long-suppressed anger finally dissipated: “Qingfeng Zhenren is an elder of the Taixu Sect, a true reclusive master. When you see him, you should at least pay your respects.”
Yu Zhiyi kept a cold face and didn't say anything.
You Bingyue circled around her once, shook her head slightly, and clicked her tongue, saying, "I think you've been at the bottom of the well for too long, thinking that what you see is the whole world. Little do you know, there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens, and Qingfeng Zhenren is a heaven that you can't touch."
"His Majesty has decided to establish the Imperial Preceptor's Office. At that time, True Man Qingfeng will serve as the Imperial Preceptor, and you will serve as his attendant."
Fairy attendants, to put it bluntly, are maids.
Yu Zhiyi's pretty face flushed red, as if she was so angry that she was consumed by rage.
Master Qingfeng looked at her coldly: "If Bingyue hadn't pleaded for you, I would never have allowed you to stay by my side to serve me."
Yu Zhiyi was so angry she almost laughed.
In fact, she did laugh out loud.
Yu Bingyue, after all, was once an assassin, so she still has a sense of crisis.
The moment she heard the laughter, she realized something was wrong and turned to run, but it was too late.
Because Yu Zhiyi had her back to everyone, no one saw that shortly after she was immobilized by the pressure, a golden light flashed in her eyes.
When Master Qingfeng realized something was wrong, You Bingyue had already been grabbed by the neck.
Yu Zhiyi lifted the person up with ease, coldly raised her eyes, and looked at Qingfeng Zhenren at the head of the table: "I have learned about the doctrines of the Taixu Sect, which are to bully the weak and oppress the strong."
"Let her go!"
Just as Master Qingfeng was about to make a move, You Bingyue suddenly rolled her eyes – she had been pinched.
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "You can try and see if it's faster for you to kill me or for me to kill her."
Master Qingfeng frowned: "Most disciples of the Tianji Sect enter the Dao with their lives, and cannot take their own lives at will. If you harm her, you will be completely cut off from the path of immortality."
Yu Zhiyi smiled: "If you're about to lose your life, what's the point of pursuing immortality?"
Qingfeng Zhenren's calm and aloof expression crumbled.
He never expected that a mere lay disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Sect would completely disregard him and show him no respect in front of so many people!
With his strength, crushing that junior disciple would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Unfortunately, the other side had hostages.
If this junior disciple were from another sect, he wouldn't hesitate to act against him.
However, the people of the Heavenly Mystery Sect are all somewhat afflicted by evil practices. For example, this Foundation Establishment stage disciple was able to break free from the oppressive restraints of a Golden Core stage expert.
He dared not gamble.
If she loses the bet, Yue'er will die.
He took a deep breath and said coldly, "You should know that cultivators who risk their lives to enter the Dao cannot kill."
Yu Zhiyi certainly knew.
The first lesson her master taught her was to treat life with kindness.
Those who enter the Dao by risking their lives are most concerned with cause and effect, and once they get involved in too many causes and effects, the divine retribution they suffer will be more severe than that of ordinary cultivators.
but……
"I need no instruction from Master Qingfeng on the rules of the Tianji Sect," Yu Zhiyi said with a mocking smile. "We are not forbidden from killing, but we cannot easily interfere in other people's karma. Our Tianji Sect values repaying grievances and settling scores."
"If someone hits my left cheek, I will not be able to maintain my Daoist faith unless I slap both of her cheeks until they are swollen!"
Master Qingfeng: "..."
Emperor & Empress Dowager: "..."
You Bingyue... You Bingyue is about to die.
Yu Zhiyi looked at the woman who was barely breathing: "I was originally looking for you, but I didn't expect you to run into the line of fire. You didn't think you could get away with framing a high-ranking official like that, did you?"
You Bingyue: "..."
Damn it! I was careless!
The main problem is that she never imagined that even after finding such a powerful backer, she would still fall from grace.
Yu Zhiyi lifted You Bingyue like a rag and turned her around, saying to the emperor, "Your Majesty, a few days ago this woman falsely accused me of murder on Mingshan Mountain. The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an and a group of accompanying guards can all testify to this. According to the law, falsely accusing an official of the court is punishable by at least three years in prison."
The emperor choked.
Why is he involved?
The emperor glanced at Qingfeng Zhenren, feeling annoyed.
He was an emperor among men, unparalleled in prestige within the Great Sheng Empire, and his word was law.
But Master Qingfeng is an immortal!
Even emperors must bow to immortals.
For the first time, he complained about his mother.
Why get involved in this mess?
When two masters of metaphysics are battling it out, wouldn't ordinary people just be asking to be cannon fodder if they got involved?
