The Nine Paths Mysterious Venerable, also known as the Nine Venerable Daoists.
At this moment, riding a crane soaring through the heavens, it looked down upon all living beings with an air of disdain.
He certainly had reason to be proud. As a peerless expert at the peak of the Supreme Realm, he was not only a renowned figure of the righteous path but also the imperial tutor of the current Empress of the Great Yin in the Eastern Region. Wherever he went, he received countless compliments and praises.
Moreover, the generally low cultivation levels in the Southern Region gave the Nine Paths Venerable a strong sense of superiority.
The purpose of his trip out of the pass was to arrange a marriage between his two beloved disciples, so that he could rightfully enjoy the generous treatment given by the royal family in the future.
Even though he knew that Shen Zhao and Yu Xiyan were engaged, he was determined to break them up.
The Nine Venerable Daoists went to great lengths to slander Shen Zhao.
From a young age, Yu Xiyan was instilled with the idea that Shen Zhao was cunning and scheming, and that he had won the favor of her parents through various intrigues and schemes, with the ultimate goal of seizing the throne of the Great Yin Dynasty in the future.
Over time, Yu Xiyan, who was still young at the time, came to regard Shen Zhao as an absolute villain. Even after the two got married, she still humiliated him in every way.
In fact, slandering Shen Zhao is only the tip of the iceberg of all the crimes committed by the Nine Venerable Daoists.
In his previous life, the Nine Paths Venerable never stopped slandering Shen Zhao, and even plotted to make Ling Yuxuan and Yu Xiyan consummate their relationship, forcing Yu Xiyan to bring Ling Yuxuan into the palace to replace Shen Zhao's position.
However, his schemes were cleverly thwarted by Shen Zhao time and time again.
Finally, Shen Zhao, driven to desperation, personally went to the Nine Venerable Daoists' door, laid out the incriminating evidence he had gathered, and threatened to train troops at their Daoist temple before they finally backed down.
Since Yu Xiyan's feelings for Ling Yuxuan were indeed limited to those of fellow disciples, the Nine Venerable Daoists finally calmed down.
Of course, the Nine Venerable Daoists couldn't possibly know these things, since they weren't time travelers.
Just as the nine Taoist priests soared through the sky and slowly approached the Divine Phoenix Ruins, a faint cry for help came from their ears.
He looked down at the land and saw a group of ordinary people being attacked by wolves.
In this situation, the Nine Venerable Taoists could save these people with just a flick of their fingers.
However, he sighed softly and said in a deliberately profound tone, "Survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak."
This is simply the law of survival in this world; it's their fate.
"You can't blame anyone else. Well, life and death are predestined. You all better pray for yourselves."
After speaking, he urged the crane to spread its wings and soar into the higher clouds.
In the mountains and forests, the people, facing the pursuit and interception of wolves, struggled to escape.
Seeing that they were about to be driven to the brink of despair, they were filled with hopelessness.
A vicious wolf, its eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light, let out a low growl as it stared intently at the "delicious" creature before it, approaching step by step.
"Mother, I'm scared."
A child immediately burrowed into his mother's arms, while his mother was already terrified and at a loss for what to do.
Just as the wolf pack was charging forward and a disaster seemed inevitable, a ball of azure flame descended from the sky.
Boom~
The moment the flames exploded, the wolf pack was instantly reduced to ashes, without even a dying groan.
Moreover, the blue flames were released at just the right time, without affecting the people in the slightest.
"Oh, God! The great god has come to save us!"
"Thank you, God! Thank you, God!"
The survivors knelt and kowtowed repeatedly towards the clear blue sky, their only way of expressing gratitude.
Above the clouds, Shen Zhao and Ji Bingyan stood atop the Kunpeng, calmly looking down at all living beings below.
"My lord, you are still the same as before, always ready to rescue those in need without hesitation."
Ji Bingyan was beaming with pride, and she looked at her master with growing admiration.
Shen Zhao sighed softly and pointed to the village not far ahead: "We're thirsty. Let's go to that village and ask for a drink of water, rest for a bit, and then we'll set off again."
"Yes, I'll listen to the elder."
With a swift dive, the Kunpeng flew rapidly towards the mountain village...
Within the ancient ruins of Shenhuang, there is a beautiful spot filled with fireflies, peaceful and serene, seemingly forgotten by time and long forgotten.
Suddenly, accompanied by a surge of spiritual power, the peaceful atmosphere was instantly shattered.
"You ordinary woman, you're out of my league now, aren't you?"
"You disgusting man, get the hell away from me."
"Weren't you so arrogant before? Show me how arrogant you can be again."
With a resounding clang of a palm strike that sent fireflies flying, Huang Xiaoting landed on the ground, staggering back dozens of feet before coming to a stop.
"How have you become so strong in just a few months?"
Huang Xiaoting stared at the air in disbelief.
The next second, Liang Hao landed, creating a spiderweb pattern on the surrounding ground.
"So, are you convinced or not? Still stubborn?"
At this moment, Liang Hao carried the Dragon Fang Pestle on his shoulder, his expression a mixture of disdain, excitement, indifference, and aloofness, once again elevating his coolness to the highest level.
On the other hand, Huang Xiaoting had not gained the upper hand in her battle with Liang Hao and was now exhausted.
She couldn't believe that in just a few months, Liang Hao's cultivation level had risen directly from the first rank of Nirvana to the sixth rank, and more importantly, he also had an imperial artifact to enhance his cultivation.
Although that imperial artifact could not unleash its full power because it had not been bound to a blood oath, it was still something I could not withstand.
"Hmph, you lower-class man, you only beat me because of the Emperor's weapon. If you have the guts, don't use the Emperor's weapon. Let's fight fair and square."
"What, you're still not convinced? It seems that the unknown sage was right after all. When faced with an ignorant little fairy, one should give her a good beating until she deeply realizes her mistake."
