When Qi Wuhuo walked into the Lingxiao Palace, light suddenly lit up on both sides, illuminating everything.

He saw his senior brother, the Great Master Xuandu, sitting on a cushion at one side. The Great Master opened his eyes, glanced at Qi Wuhuo, nodded lazily, and said, "He is resting inside, you can go in by yourself, take a rest for me, and be quiet."

He closed his eyes again, his energy was deep, it turned out that he was in the process of meditation to recover, and it was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy.

For some time before, he had to maintain the Jade Emperor's true spirit while being careful not to oppress or harm him. This was a considerable burden even for Master Xuandu, the first disciple of the Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen. Especially when this burden came from a certain Fuxi Emperor who did not want his name to be revealed.

Master Xuandu murmured words such as "scum snake" and "poisonous snake" and closed his eyes, breathing in and out the vital energy to restore his true spirit, while Qi Wuhuo slowed down his pace and the extremely tall and majestic white jade gate of the Lingxiao Palace behind him slowly closed, separating the cloud-shrouded heaven outside from the inside.

The Taoist walked into the inner hall where the Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu was.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his face was pale, and his demeanor was different from the past, as if he had just experienced a fight. Seeing Qi Wuhuo coming, a slight smile appeared on his face and he said, "You are here, Yujing."

"You killed justice, I should have stood up and given you a bear hug to welcome you, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't get up now."

At the last moment, Zhang Xiaoyu overcame the backup plan left by Fuxi, and thus underwent a transformation.

It is not just a simple reincarnation of Haotian, but a trend of being divided into two different individuals. However, from a more intuitive point of view, it is actually a shock produced inside one's own soul, which can be regarded as a soul trauma.

Zhang Xiaoyu himself is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor. His soul will gradually dissipate, and he will gradually forget himself. Finally, he will completely disappear in a dream. When he opens his eyes, he has turned into a hidden illness of the next generation of Jade Emperor. Now he has forcibly broken through Fuxi's backup, and his injuries are compounded. His face is naturally ugly.

In fact, if it weren’t for the great master Xuandu spending his energy and vital energy to maintain Zhang Xiaoyu’s true spirit.

This true spirit must have already fallen into an absolute sleep, so how could it speak?

There is no need to show up like this at this moment.

Qi Wuhuo asked about Zhang Xiaoyu's injuries. Zhang Xiaoyu looked deeply at the Taoist in front of him and smiled. He did not mention Fuxi, the words said by the shadow of Haotian's will, Taiyi, or the matter of hiding his identity. He just said that thanks to Master Xuandu, he was finally safe.

Qi Wuhuo sat in front of the Jade Emperor, holding the spiritual tea he brewed, nodded, and said:

"Just keep your spirit stable. Justice is dead now. After this riot, almost all of the trusted generals of Justice Tianzun have died. The entire Tianshu Academy is now in name only. The other immortals and gods also need to count the casualties and conduct a reverse investigation on what the Tianshu Academy members who infiltrated their ranks did and what their purpose was."

"I think these things will probably keep them busy for a while."

"You can rest a little more at ease and take good care of yourself during this period of time."

The Taoist thought for a moment, then swept his sleeves and a stream of light suddenly flew out from his sleeves, brilliant and bright, with a hint of spiritual charm and magical power. It was a flag that was only three feet long, dark in color, with spiritual patterns on it. The spiritual patterns were deep and dull, as if they could cover all things in the world at once.

It was one of Haotian’s three great spiritual treasures back then, and it was also the ultimate treasure sealed in heaven.

[The flag that covers the sky]!

The birth of a great being will bring about many strange phenomena and trigger changes in the energy within the six realms.

What’s more, it is the fall of a great person?

The Great Lord of Justice has been in power in the heavenly realm for several kalpas.

He must have many back-up plans, unique skills to save his life, means of protection, and means of dying in his place.

However, under the cover of the [Heaven-Covering Flag], all the means he had accumulated over several calamities and countless years lost their effect. He was cut down by Qi Wuhuo's sword and died on the spot, with his soul dissipated. This shows the domineering power of the [Heaven-Covering Flag].

Under the cover of the Heaven-Covering Flag, even a Great Emperor at the Great Level would have no difference in vitality from an ordinary Emperor.

And this is only Qi Wuhuo's current foundation, which is still not enough to fully inspire the charm of the Heaven-Covering Flag.

It is not yet enough to fully use the Heaven-Covering Flag.

Qi Wuhuo was totally unable to imagine, if one day, he could flow the boundless and majestic Qi into the Heaven-covering Flag, if one day he could fully utilize this treasure, how powerful this thing would be. And what kind of style would it be when the Great Emperor Haotian, who used to be the strongest in the past, used this thing.

But Qi Wuhuo still remembered that this treasure was only used to kill justice.

He withdrew his hand, severed the connection between himself and the [Heaven-Covering Flag], and said, "This item shall be returned to its original owner."

"Xiao Yu, you can find a time, and we can use the Heaven Covering Flag to get the Clear Sky Mirror back."

The Taoist glanced at his pale friend and sighed, "If you hadn't exchanged the Clear Sky Mirror for the Heaven Covering Flag in order to kill Justice, Fuxi's move wouldn't have severely injured you."

Zhang Xiao's jade fingers gently brushed across the sky-covering flag and he smiled when he heard the words.

With a sweep of his sleeves, the Heaven Covering Banner unexpectedly flew back to Qi Wuhuo's side, flowing slowly and emitting a little stream of light. Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Don't you still need to make the Queen Nuwa's True Spirit completely merge with her body later? Use it first, and we'll talk about it after you're done."

"Besides, with my current injuries and foundation, I can't replace the formation core."

"That was the Dao Heart Oath that the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods, and Haotian made together back then."

"If something goes wrong by accident..., both you and I will be in trouble and have to pay a terrible price... I don't want to be suppressed there because of carelessness."

The corners of Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched.

It seemed as if he had thought of some not-so-good beginning.

Seeing that Qi Wuhuo seemed to want to say something, Zhang Xiaoyu waved his hand, signaling him to hold back, then pointed to his waist and said, "Here, my kidney was punctured by Fuxi, and it has just healed. I am really not in a state to take risks. Besides, I think I am the safest now."

"Sir is still guarding outside. The Three Pure Ones just came."

“Even if the remnants of Taiyi and the old ministers of Gouchen are planning to do something, they will never show up at this time. Besides, just now, Zhenwu **devil killed the Justice, and Huoyao Dongyang’s two shots shocked the world. The momentum is very prominent, and all forces are waiting for the development that will happen next.”

Zhang Xiaoyu picked a grape, threw it into his mouth and bit it, looking a little absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"But come to think of it, you actually killed the judiciary so easily."

"Yujing, you are becoming stronger and stronger."

Zhang Xiaoyu said: "When we were drunk and made the agreement here, it was almost like a dream, but now it is almost completed. Justice has been beheaded. You and I will both have great reputations, and we can be famous in all six realms and open up a new era..."

A smile appeared on his face.

The Taoist said quietly: "So you need to recover from your injuries quickly."

Zhang Xiaoyu had experienced more than sixty years of trials and tribulations and had gradually matured. Hearing this, he paused and looked at the Taoist in front of him. He found that the latter did not seem to care much about these things. He paused and said, "Yujing, you..."

He sighed and said, "Are you still planning to leave?"

The Taoist held the tea, nodded, and said:

"Didn't we already agree on this when we came to Heaven?"

"I'm just helping you. After these things are settled, I will leave here with Yunqin, practice and travel around the human world and various realms. Of course, I won't leave forever. When I have free time, I will come back to see you."

Zhang Xiaoyu subconsciously asked, "Can't you stay?"

Qi Wuhuo replied:

"I am just a cultivator. How can I stay in one place for a long time? Now the judicial system has been destroyed, and the Tianshu Academy that has plagued the heavens has been disbanded. Other forces like the old ministers of Gou Chen should not be worth mentioning. What difference does it make whether I am here or not?"

Zhang Xiaoyu could tell that the Taoist was determined to leave.

At this moment, even the so-called [Haotian's Last Will] in the Jade Emperor's true spirit fell silent.

If the Taoist in front of him was really Taiyi, he would not have such a desire to seek the Tao, and would not choose to resign and leave at this time. Zhang Xiaoyu did not want his friend to leave, and he was extremely reluctant. After considering it for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, you don't have to leave, Yujing."

"Didn't we say it back then? You and I share the honorable name of Jade."

"If you really want to stay, it would be fine if you and I joined forces to rule Tianque together."

Zhang Xiaoyu expressed the greatest sincerity and invitation he could give.

But the Taoist in front of him just smiled and shook his head. The cup in his hand was placed on the table between the two of them. The spiritual tea in the cup had a slight ripple. The Taoist slightly turned sideways and knocked his friend's forehead with a knife, saying, "What are you talking about?"

With a clang.

The sound of knocking on the head is quite crisp and pleasant.

He said calmly: "I can be Yujing, Zhenwu **Mo, Taishang Xuanwei, Huoyao, Dongyang, or even many other identities, but these identities are me, but I am not them... or rather, not just them."

The Taoist withdrew his knife and let his sleeves fall down.

Zhang Xiaoyu raised his hands to cover his forehead and looked at his good friend over there. The sky light and the sea of ​​clouds were flowing naturally, the Taoist's sleeves were fluttering, and his expression was gentle and clear. Although the distance was so close, Zhang Xiaoyu felt in a trance that there was a very long distance between them.

There was absolutely no way I could keep him.

The young man who used to play tricks on the judiciary, drink together, and then laugh while holding the seal, seems to have gradually gone away.

The Taoist replied: "After all, I am just Qi Wuhuo of Jinzhou, a cultivator."

"A cultivator should walk on the path, how can he stay in one place for a long time?"

“I still have a long, long way to go.”

Zhang Xiaoyu was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, okay, if you want to leave, it's up to you. Anyway, I will keep the Zhenwu Demon Mansion for you--"

"But even if you want to leave, you can't leave now."

"You should at least wait until I recover from my injuries and return from Antarctica and the North Pole. Now the judiciary of the heavens has been destroyed by you and the Tianshu Academy has fallen, but things are not over with the fall. I tell you, if we are not careful, the situation may get worse. It is better to suppress it than before."

"Ahem, at least you helped me to restore order and get the job done."

"Then you can become a Taoist couple with Miss Yunqin."

Zhang Xiaoyu paused, hesitated, and said, "But, Yujing."

"Is just being a Taoist companion enough?"

"Should we just go straight to the point, ahem...what is it?"

Qi Wuhuo: "..."

The Taoist looked calm and replied, "No need, we just need to support each other and be each other's Taoist companions."

"The so-called... the so-called further advancement is not just a ritual like in the secular world."

"Isn't it better for Taoist companions to support each other?"

Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Seventy years ago, you said that you and Yunqin were just good friends and had no other thoughts. There is no need to mention the term Taoist companion."

The Taoist was stunned.

Zhang Xiaoyu winked and said with a smile: "No need to do that, I know how to proceed step by step."

"Perhaps you will be willing to get married a hundred years from now. It's fine then. You can leave the child to me to take care of."

The Taoist wanted to refute, but for some reason, he thought of the scene before today, when the immortals were solemn and majestic, discussing the situation of the six realms, and the girl lowered her eyes and gently hooked her fingers. It was not a move that was too excessive, but it made the Taoist feel inexplicably itchy in his heart. He could not even refute Zhang Xiaoyu's joke.

Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth curled up, revealing a "mocking smile" towards his friend:

"Why, you don't want to refute it?"

The Taoist was silent.

Backhand sweep.

The extremely high speed tore through the void, causing the Qi to be repelled to both sides and transformed into surging air waves, with flames and thunder tearing out from the edge of the palm.

The second palm knife struck directly on the Jade Emperor's forehead without any mercy.

Even the great magician Xuandu in the outer hall heard a loud noise like a mountain shaking.

Clang!!!

The archmage's eyes twitched.

In the inner hall, Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu fell on the cushion with his hands covering his forehead, gasping for breath. He was hit on the forehead by a blow from his Great Foundation and Nine-turn Refined Yuan Physique that came out of shame and anger. He was not the real Haotian, and his Haotian body would not be injured, but it would hurt!

There was almost a wisp of green smoke coming out of his forehead, and then two big bags of tears appeared.

This is not crying, this is the body's instinctive pain.

The Taoist remained calm, straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, and said calmly: "You cried in front of me."

“This is the second time.”

Zhang Xiaoyu: “…”

???!

What second time!

Damn, where did he learn this method of intimidation? !

Fuxi? It must be Fuxi!

It must be Fuxi!

You evil god!

To what extent have you corrupted my Yujing in these sixty years?

Why did I cry when my soul just revived? Damn it, I guess there won’t be any more unbearable experience in my life than this.

The corner of Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and he had to ignore the weak spot of the Taoist in front of him that he had finally caught.

He could only sigh and said, "Okay, okay, anyway, before Beidi and Nanji return, Yujing, you have to help me first..." He sat cross-legged on the futon, holding his chin with one hand, tapping the table with his fingers, and said, "The fall of Tianshuyuan is like a big piece of fat meat. Before this, although all the departments in the heavenly realm were beating and scolding Tianshuyuan."

"But after Tianshuyuan falls, they will rush over faster than anyone else."

"Two edicts."

"When my injury gets better, I will hold a Lingxiao court meeting to calm the hearts of the gods. At that time, I will reward you according to your merits and give you another honorific title. Then you can open a government office and take over some of the responsibilities of the Tianshu Academy. The other part needs to be distributed to other departments to check and balance each other."

"The second one..."

Zhang Xiaoyu raised his finger and quickly wrote an order in the air, saying:

"Yujing, don't do anything else first. Go and raid the judicial home first."

The Taoist was stunned for a moment: "Hmm?"

"What do you mean? That is the hometown of the Great Justice Lord. The Tianshu Academy has dominated the six realms for so many years, and most of its accumulation has fallen into the hands of the Justice Lord. It is such a big piece of fat meat. Even if we don't mention this, the value of a great emperor who has lived from the ancient times to the present is extremely rich."

"Take my decree and go and raid his house first!"

"The harvest inside will be divided into ten parts according to the merit."

"Forty percent will go to Heaven, and two percent will be given to the rest of the gods."

"Twenty percent goes to the Zhenwu Demon Emperor."

"The remaining 20% ​​will be given to Emperor Huoyao Dongyang."

Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu raised his eyes with a smile and said leisurely:

"how?"
