Lin Jingshu took a deep breath and punched Ye Qiu in the stomach.
The moment he made his move, the void itself began to distort, his fist gleaming with golden light, the laws of the Dao flowing within it.
With a bang.
Lin Jingshu punched Ye Qiu in the stomach.
Ye Qiu groaned, forced back three steps by the impact.
Furthermore, Ye Qiu could feel Lin Jingshu's power still surging wildly within his body.
Ye Qiu hurriedly used his magic to neutralize the attack, and was astonished by Lin Jingshu's explosive power.
He truly hadn't expected that Lin Jingshu, a seemingly delicate girl, would possess such terrifying power.
Although he only took three steps back, Ye Qiu was a top-tier expert in the Cave Realm who had opened up seven caves, and his physical cultivation was also beyond the reach of ordinary people. Under such circumstances, Lin Jingshu's ability to do this was truly extraordinary.
"Teacher Ye, are you alright? You were only knocked back three steps by me, that's amazing."
After asking a question with concern, Lin Jingshu stared at Ye Qiu with a shocked expression.
It seemed that only knocking Ye Qiu back three steps was something that she found extremely unbelievable.
Ye Qiu waved his hand and said, "You are indeed very strong, quite interesting."
It's hard to imagine that such a seemingly delicate body could harbor such terrifying explosive power.
"That's because my bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form, awakening the Golden Phoenix bloodline, which is one of the ten ancient bloodlines, ranking third," Lin Jingshu said.
"What bloodline does the first place winner have?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"First, you don't even know? That must be the chaotic bloodline of the human race, which can cultivate all kinds of methods. People who possess this bloodline are also called the Chaotic Dao Body."
The second place goes to the Dragon Path Bloodline, second only to the Chaos Bloodline.
Third place? That's my Golden Phoenix bloodline, heh.
"I feel you're wrong," Ye Qiu said with a smile. "If you have the Golden Phoenix bloodline, then you must also have the Thunder Phoenix bloodline and the Fire Phoenix bloodline. How come the Golden Phoenix bloodline is ranked second?"
"Hmph, so why can't we tie for third? How annoying." Lin Jingshu rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu.
"What if someone possessed both the Chaos Dao Body and the Dragon Dao Bloodline?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"Huh? There are such freaks? If there are such freaks, I'll be the first to kill him. The Heavenly Star Realm will not allow such monsters to exist."
Lin Jingshu said with a smile.
Ye Qiu chuckled as well.
This monster is right in front of you.
But Ye Qiu didn't say it aloud. He said, "Let's go. I'll keep my promise and take you to do something big."
"What?" Lin Jingshu asked curiously.
Ye Qiu whispered, "Your brother wants to see Xuan Yuanzhan Dao and Wu Chao of the Wu family. This time, he wants to arrest these two people and hold them accountable because they dared to surround the Imperial Palace."
I doubted these two would surrender easily, so we lay in wait nearby, ready to strike at any moment; perhaps we could be of help.
"Wow, really?" Lin Jingshu gasped. "This is no small matter, it's not something to joke about."
Xuanyuan Zhandao is my brother's and my maternal uncle, and he is the Minister of Works. Wu Chao controls the Dao Armory, and the Wu family also has deep ties with the Immortal Sword Sect. If Brother Xuan Ye wants to touch them, I'm afraid it will cause serious trouble.
"But if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find an excuse again in the future, won't it?" Ye Qiu asked.
“That’s true…” Lin Jingshu said through gritted teeth, “Then I’ll go with you to take a look.”
"Walk."
The two left quickly.
...
On the other side, Lin Xuanye was in a grand hall, waiting for Xuanyuan Zhandao and Wu Chao to arrive.
According to regulations, apart from the imperial palace guards, no one else is allowed to bring weapons into the imperial palace.
Even Xuanyuan Zhandao and Wu Dynasty are no exception!
When the Emperor summoned them, they dared not refuse.
A little over ten minutes later, the two entered the main hall and met Lin Xuanye.
Upon entering the hall, the two gave a perfunctory, slight bow.
Then, Xuanyuan Zhandao laughed and said, "Good nephew, what is the matter that you are in such a hurry to summon us?"
"If you don't have anything important to do, I have to go now. Capturing Ye Qiu has been a real painstaking task lately."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanye's eyes turned icy cold.
Xuanyuan Zhandao was far too arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all.
But Wu Chao, standing to the side, remained even more composed: "Your Majesty, my Wu family's descendants were killed by Ye Qiu. Recently, we discovered that Ye Qiu was near the Imperial Palace, which is why we surrounded the Imperial Palace. We have no other intentions. If Your Majesty summoned us because of this matter, then there is no need to worry. We will not harm the Imperial Palace."
If Your Majesty has no other urgent matters, I will take my leave.
"You insolent fools!" Lin Xuanye was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and scolded, "You two are extremely arrogant. You have no respect for me at all. This is the Imperial Palace, not a place where you can act so recklessly."
"Huh?" Xuan Yuanzhan was taken aback by Lin Xuanye's outburst of anger. He then chuckled and said, "Nephew, don't get angry. Let's talk this out."
“Your Majesty is anxious.” Wu Chao remained remarkably calm.
Lin Xuanye sneered: "Your two clans sent people to surround the Imperial Palace. This matter has far-reaching implications. If word gets out, how will the world view your two clans? Will they think that you are about to betray us?"
Won't you think that you are showing contempt for the majesty of the imperial palace and disregarding imperial authority?
Even now, do you still think this is just a small matter?
Upon hearing this, the two finally realized that the young emperor was truly enraged.
Wu Chao reacted quickly, hurriedly kneeling down with concern: "Your Majesty, please understand. This old minister was in a great hurry because of the loss of his beloved grandson, and in his haste, he sent someone here without reporting it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
“Nephew, you…you don’t need to make such a fuss, do you? Should I go and talk to the Empress Dowager?” Xuan Yuanzhan Dao didn’t seem to realize the importance of the matter.
