"Don't worry, that evil monk won't bother you anymore."
After dealing with Cihai, Mu Qiuyao returned to Qingyang City and greeted Si Yu and the others.
Si Yu: "Thank you so much for your help, senior. I don't know how to express my gratitude."
Mu Qiuyao smiled: "No need for thanks. I have quite a history with your arbitration committee. I'm just helping you on behalf of an old friend."
"What you're saying is true, senior..."
"Don't ask anymore. By the way, what are you planning to do now?"
Si Yu glanced at the destroyed headquarters of the Court of Justice and sighed helplessly, "It seems that the Eastern Region is ultimately not the place for our Court of Justice to stand."
I'm thinking of moving our headquarters to the Southern Region. I've heard that Luoyang City is almost fully developed, and it's close to the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock. Perhaps that's the promised land of our Council of Judges.
"Well, it's good that you have this plan. Let's get going as soon as possible. I have some things to take care of, so I'll head out first."
Seeing that Mu Qiuyao was about to leave, Lu Xuanji immediately knelt down in front of Mu Qiuyao: "Senior, would you be willing to take me as your disciple?"
Mu Qiuyao was taken aback: "Take you as my disciple?"
Lu Xuanji nodded vigorously: "Yes, please grant my request, senior."
Seeing Lu Xuanji's sincere expression, Mu Qiuyao suddenly smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you were using the Qingyun Sect sword technique, weren't you?"
"Since you already have a master, is it appropriate for you to become my disciple?"
Lu Xuanji replied, "Please rest assured, senior, my master will not blame me."
The sword technique that Mu Qiuyao had just taught her made her fully understand what a top-level master truly was.
She didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity.
"Hmm, I find you quite agreeable. Alright, I'll come see you again after I finish what I'm doing. You'd better think this through in the meantime."
After saying that, Mu Qiuyao flicked her whisk and strode out of the city.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
Suddenly, a fortune teller blocked Mu Qiuyao's path.
Mu Qiuyao frowned slightly: "You called me a Taoist priest?"
The fortune teller walked up to Mu Qiuyao, looked her over carefully, and then sighed, "Fellow Daoist, are you going to Chang'an?"
"Hmm?" Mu Qiuyao murmured softly, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
“I am the Divine Calculator. Please heed my advice, fellow Daoist. Judging from your face, you will surely face a fatal calamity on your journey to Chang'an. If you change your mind now, you will be safe and sound.”
"Hahaha."
Mu Qiuyao not only didn't take the fortune teller's words to heart, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Do you think I'd believe the nonsense spouted by a charlatan like you?"
The Divine Calculator said, "Fellow Daoist, this is not an exaggeration. Your face is shrouded in an aura of death; this journey to Chang'an is virtually certain death."
I urge you, fellow Daoist, to consider this carefully. As long as you do not enter Chang'an, you can avoid this calamity.
Mu Qiuyao immediately interrupted him: "Enough, you're talking nonsense. Aren't you just trying to swindle some money? Just say it."
"Fellow Daoist, I..."
"I've never believed in fate. When I was a child, a fortune teller said I would die at the age of ten, but I'm still alive and well."
So put away your江湖话话 (jianghu huhua, a kind of江湖, martial arts world) rhetoric; this humble Taoist is not one of those vulgar people.
You easily fooled me. If you say a few nice things, I might even give you a few spirit stones if I'm in a good mood.
But if you curse me to die, then this humble Taoist priest will surely lose his temper.
As soon as he finished speaking, the signboard in the fortune teller's hand snapped in two.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't stoop to your level. But if you dare to speak rudely again, I'll skin you alive."
After saying that, Mu Qiuyao glared at the fortune teller and left Qingyang City without looking back.
"Oh, what a pity."
The fortune teller shook his head.
"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. The empress has fallen. How tragic and lamentable."
After saying that, he picked up his eating utensils, carefully brushed off the ashes, and continued walking towards the city.
At the same time...
"puff……"
Ci Hai, who was thrown ten miles away by Mu Qiuyao, coughed up blood on the spot.
"Who is this Taoist nun? She actually defeated someone as strong as myself, the pinnacle of combat power, leaving me utterly defenseless."
Well then, since Qingyang City has such a powerful protector, let's not act rashly for now. Instead, let's deal with the culprits, Linghu Ming, Liang Hao, and Fahai first.
However, I am currently severely injured, and 30% of my internal energy has been sealed. To be on the safe side, I should first find a suitable place to recuperate.
He looked up and glanced around.
"This place is within the territory of Dayin. Why don't we go to Baochan Temple in Chang'an to heal our injuries first, and then settle accounts with those three people and the Daoist nun when our powers are unsealed?"
Thinking of this, Ci Hai took out a pill and put it in his mouth.
A moment later, a burst of Buddhist light emanated from his body.
After a short while, the surging true energy within his body finally stabilized.
Just as he was preparing to set off for Chang'an.
"Hey~"
A loud shout from behind almost sent him flying.
"Who is this? What are you yelling about in broad daylight? Haven't you ever seen a monk as handsome as me before? Are you feeling ashamed of yourself?"
Ci Hai turned around and saw Liang Hao, Fa Hai, and Linghu Ming looking at him warily.
At this moment, after nearly a year of cultivation at the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock, the three of them had all achieved a transcendent leap in their cultivation.
Linghu Ming has reached the fifth rank of the Supreme Realm, Liang Hao is at the fourth rank of the Supreme Realm, and Fahai has also reached the second rank of the Supreme Realm.
This is truly a transformation from a slingshot to a cannon, something extraordinary.
"Monk, you're acting suspiciously. Could it be that you've secretly come here to eat meat behind your sect's back?"
Liang Hao pointed directly at Ci Hai's nose and asked.
