"idiot!"
"Just because of a few words from Yu Bo, you tried to test Wuxuan Pavilion and interfered in the internal disputes of the royal family. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want with just these means?"
“With your personalities, you can only achieve some results now that the spiritual energy tide has just revived.
If it was during the heyday of the cultivation world, he would have been killed in the secret realm by those random cultivators and demon cultivators."
Outside the imperial capital, in a huge sect hall, an old man with gray hair and a hunched back was yelling at a group of true disciples who had just returned from the imperial capital's market.
The old man’s cultivation level was not high, only at the peak of Qi Transformation, but none of the many sect disciples below dared to refute him.
It is just because this old man seems to be only at the peak of Qi Transformation, but his real identity is an incarnation of Elder He Sheng of Zhuritai Shengtian, one of the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens, a genuine real person of refining spirit.
Although they have the potential to reach the realm of spirit refining, they are still just juniors in front of the spirit refining masters who have truly survived the period of spiritual energy depletion.
On the left and right sides of the sect's main hall, there were people wearing the costumes of various sects sitting in a row.
The Shanshui Sect and Houtu Sect of the 72 blessed places, and the Zhuri Taisheng Heaven and Qingtian Dahe Heaven of the 36 cave heavens are all here.
This sect's main hall contains almost all of the sect's true teachings that had previously participated in the struggle at Wuxuan Pavilion.
Only representatives from a few sects such as the Beast Taming Sect and Huanyang Valley were not here.
The representatives from all the major sects gathered together naturally because of what had happened previously in the Wuxuan Pavilion in the imperial capital.
After a long scolding, Elder He Sheng slightly restrained his unstable breath due to anger.
His turbid eyes swept across the various sects in the sect hall, and he sneered and said:
"It seems that those families are not planning to come."
“The various sects have already reached a conclusion on the matter of Wuxuan Pavilion’s teachings, and it must be dealt with, but the status of the Pavilion Master of Wuxuan Pavilion is special, so we cannot do it ourselves.
What's more, the most important thing at the moment is not Wuxuan Pavilion, but Emperor Xia's desire to regain control of the situation. Wuxuan Pavilion is just a trivial matter.
But someone chose to get involved in the affairs of Wuxuan Pavilion at this critical moment, not only was he used as a gun, but he even implicated Rong Cheng Dayutian. This is really stupid!"
The shouts of congratulations were as loud as thunder, and all the disciples from the major sects present lowered their heads in shame.
The Shanshui Sect's outer sect elder was thoughtful, then he spoke seriously:
"Although the disciples of the various sects were indeed at fault in this matter, the young master Rong Cheng Dayutian openly stood on the opposite side of the various sects. Isn't this a bit..."
He Sheng's eyes focused and fell on the outer sect elder of Shanshui Sect. Wisps of aura that did not belong to the peak of Qi Transformation quietly dissipated from him.
The tide of spiritual energy has only just revived, and these outer sect elders are only those with longer seniority in the sect. Their cultivation is only at the Qi Transformation stage, far inferior to that of the true disciples.
The moment the aura fell on him, his cultivation in the Qi Transformation Realm collapsed instantly, and the chair under the Shanshui Sect's outer sect elder collapsed.
“Bang!”
The body of the Shanshui Sect's outer sect elder was almost pressed into the ground, and then He Sheng's cold voice slowly sounded.
“If you dare to say this in front of Rong Cheng Dayu Tiangong’s Patriarch, I can still barely regard you as a person of character.
But you only dare to gossip about these little things, you are an ignorant fool who doesn't know it! "
“As one of the only immortals left in the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens, Patriarch Gong is the pillar of our sect and will not tolerate any slander or defamation.
Gong Buyu had excellent aptitude. Within just three months after the transformation realm was opened, he had cultivated to the middle stage of the transformation realm. He even mastered a magical power that led directly to the great Dao.
Such a talent will hopefully lead to reaching the fairyland in the future, becoming a leading figure in the sect, and supporting the entire sect.
You are just a few true disciples. How can you be compared with Gong Buyu?
not to mention."
He Sheng paused slightly, his cloudy eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.
But in the end He Sheng still didn't say it, he just shook his head and said:
“After you go back, go to Rongcheng Dayutian’s residence to pay a visit to that person and ask for his forgiveness.
Remember to be sincere. If you anger that person, no one can protect you."
“Whether it is the Imperial City Market or the Wuxuan Pavilion, do not rashly intervene in the matter for a short period of time to avoid further trouble.
The most urgent task at the moment is to wait for the other sects to arrive in Jingzhou to discuss the matter of re-establishing the City God."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Sheng's body returned to its previous hunched state, and he left the sect hall with pauses.
After He Sheng left, all the true disciples and outer sect elders present could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
One of the outer sect elders looked cautiously in the direction where He Sheng left and said in a low voice:
“Although the immortals in the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens have died out, the old ancestor Gong who created Dayu Heaven is not the only one who survives.
Master He's attitude seems a bit too nervous, right? "
"An immortal who has not yet been born would not make Master He give in like this."
Zhu Ritai Shengtian Outer Sect Elder glanced at the other elders who were discussing the issue, shook his head slightly and said:
"It seems you are not well-informed!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"A few hours ago, the Supreme Daoist entered Changyuan Boxue's mansion by carriage, and the director of the Imperial Observatory and other high officials came to meet him in person, which completely confirmed the news that the Supreme Daoist had appeared in the world.
And that Supreme Daoist was the master of Rong Cheng Dayu Tian’s little master.”
There was an instant of dead silence in the sect's main hall.
"Bang!"
The prince crushed the exquisite teacup carved from spiritual jade in his hand. In the reception hall, several dignitaries in gorgeous clothes fell silent.
Among them were the deputy inspector of the imperial capital's markets, the captain in charge of the 3,000 market garrisons, and several Qi-refining geniuses of relatively low status.
Without exception, they were all eyewitnesses and witnesses of the Wuxuan Pavilion Rebellion, and were all well-known and powerful people in the imperial capital.
But in front of the prince, they could only bow their heads, not even daring to breathe.
The maidservant beside him stood by holding a silk scarf in both hands. The prince reached out and took the silk scarf to wipe off the water stains and teacup residue in his hands. His majestic face was expressionless as he spoke:
"So, it was that Junior Grandmaster Rong Cheng Dayutian who stopped you?"
“Your Highness, it is the Gong Buyu who has become Dayutian.
If she hadn't intervened, Wuxuan Pavilion would have been destroyed in the battle."
"And Jingzhao Yin Du Yuan, as a high-ranking official in the imperial court, took the initiative to give in when facing a mere sect cultivator. This is simply a loss of face for our Great Xia Dynasty."
"Tomorrow at the meeting, you must read Jing Zhaoyin's book!"
Just when everyone was getting excited, the prince simply raised his right hand and pressed it down, and there was silence in an instant.
Then, the prince looked at the only official sitting on a chair, and said with a slightly relieved expression:
“Wuxuan Pavilion is a treasure pavilion that benefits the people of Daxia, but today it is suspected to be involved with the cultivators of Rongcheng Dayutian.
For the safety of the imperial capital, I think we should temporarily seal off Wuxuan Pavilion to confirm whether it has any connection with the blessed land.
I wonder what the Tingwei thinks?"
Zhao Zeng, the Chief Justice of Great Xia, was one of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and was in charge of judicial trials. He was a real powerful figure in the imperial capital.
At the same time, Tingwei Zhao Zong was the only one among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers who was close to the crown prince.
The other ministers either remained neutral or supported the other princes. The crown prince found it difficult to suppress the other princes because he did not have the advantage of having the support of the ministers.
Zhao Zeng heard this, glanced at the other people in the hall, waved his hand and said softly:
"You have nothing to do here, please leave!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and chose to leave one after another. Even the maid standing by chose to leave wisely.
After the Crown Prince and the Imperial Court Judge were promoted to the originally bustling reception hall, the Imperial Court Judge shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this move is a bit too hasty."
The prince narrowed his eyes and said:
“It’s not that I’m anxious, but the current situation is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen to the Tianxing He family’s inheritance after the situation stabilizes.
After all, it is a huge family that has been passed down for thousands of years. If it weren't for the foolish ancestors who moved the whole family to the imperial capital, and the family's luck was suppressed by the luck of humanity in the imperial capital, how could the Tianxing He family be destroyed so easily? "
“Besides, my ninth sister is one of the few princesses in all dynasties who has the talent of humanity.
If we don't eradicate this Wuxuan Pavilion as soon as possible and completely destroy it, trouble will inevitably arise again. The junior master Rong Cheng Dayutian is an example.
Since we will be on the opposite side of the blessed land sooner or later, it is not unacceptable to offend the junior master Rong Cheng Dayu Tian."
Zhao Zeng didn't care about the prince's explanation at all, he just said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, do you think Du Yuan is a fool?"
"Du Yuan is the Jingzhao Yin, a senior official in the court, so he is definitely not a fool."
"Since Du Yuan has chosen to give in, why does the prince insist on going his own way?
You should know that Gong Buyu's master just arrived in the imperial capital a few hours ago."
The prince's expression suddenly changed. He naturally knew who Gong Buyu's master was.
“Could it be that the Supreme Daoist is using Gong Buyu’s hand to plot against Wuxuan Pavilion?”
"I didn't say that." The Chief Justice immediately denied it.
Even he would not dare to speak carelessly when it comes to matters concerning the Supreme Taoist.
There was a slight pause in the voice, and there was a hint of profoundness in the words of the Chief Justice.
"Your Highness should know that it is better to believe it than not to believe it.
The Fifth Prince's incident happened not long ago, Your Highness should take it as a warning."
The Chief Justice stood up and strode towards the outside of the Prince's Mansion, paying no attention to the Prince who had a gloomy expression behind him.
After a while, a helpless voice sounded in the reception hall.
"All parties should calm down and temporarily give up targeting Wuxuan Pavilion. Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished!"
Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Xia sat on the dragon throne and looked through the secret letters that were handed to him.
Below him was Jingzhao Yin Du Yuan, who was in charge of the affairs of the imperial capital's markets.
There was total silence in the Yangxin Palace, with only the sound of Emperor Xia flipping through the secret letter, which brought with it an indescribable sense of depression.
Du Yuan hunched over with his head lowered, his expression full of confusion.
After dealing with matters in the imperial capital's market, Du Yuan went straight to the palace to meet Emperor Xia and told him the whole story in detail.
Considering Emperor Xia's attitude towards the Supreme Taoist, Du Yuan believed that his handling method was comprehensive and should be praised by Emperor Xia.
But after he finished his story, Emperor Xia said nothing. He just flipped through the secret letter presented by the shadow guard, as if he had completely ignored him.
The world seemed to have come to a standstill in the Yangxin Palace, and even Du Yuan didn't know how much time had passed.
After Emperor Xia finished reading the last secret letter, he turned his gaze to Du Yuan below.
"I already know what happened. The root cause of the chaos in the imperial capital's market is not you.
But as the Jingzhao Yin, you have the authority to supervise the imperial capital's markets, and you should be punished for something like this."
"Deduct half a year's salary, and the authority to supervise the imperial capital's market will be handed over to the Weiwei."
Du Yuan's mind was a mess.
He had clearly tried his best to minimize the impact of the incident, and even took the initiative to back off in front of the direct disciple of the Supreme Taoist, but he was still punished.
Half a year's salary was secondary. The key point was that the power to supervise the imperial capital's market was related to many interests. He was unwilling to hand it over so easily to the Weiwei, one of the Nine Ministers.
However, on the surface, there was nothing wrong with Emperor Xia's punishment. Even if Du Yuan was dissatisfied, he had to accept it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Go down."
"I will take my leave!"
Full of doubts, Du Yuan left the Yangxin Palace.
As Du Yuan left, Emperor Xia's originally calm expression instantly turned into anger.
With a dry hand, he threw the secret letter on the table to the ground, and Emperor Xia said in a cold voice:
"Waste! All of you waste!"
Those secret letters sent down from the Shadow Guard clearly recorded the subsequent handling attitudes of the Crown Prince and the major sects.
"My Jingzhao Yin was frightened and hastily retreated upon hearing the name of the Supreme Daoist."
"My eldest son, who I have high hopes for, covets his sister's wealth, but he doesn't even have the courage to take action."
"Even those self-righteous paradises were frightened by a name."
"Waste, all waste!"
The anger in Emperor Xia's eyes almost burst out.
Before Du Yuan came to the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xia had already sensed the unusual changes in the destiny of humanity, and Xia Yunqiu in the Wuxuan Pavilion ignited the fire of humanity.
That was the treasure that Emperor Xia himself had been seeking but could not obtain, but now it was obtained by the daughter he had abandoned.
Emperor Xia was naturally furious about this daughter who had escaped from his control, and even thought about suppressing Xia Yunqiu directly.
After the shadow guard sent back the news, Emperor Xia also understood the whole story. Wuxuan Pavilion unexpectedly escaped the disaster in the targeting of the two forces. Xia Yunqiu turned a disaster into a blessing and gained the favor of humanity and ignited the fire of humanity.
Although the whole matter did not apparently involve the Supreme Taoist at all, the appearance of Gong Buyu made everyone feel uneasy, even Emperor Xia was no exception.
No one can be sure whether Xia Yunqiu is related to the Supreme Taoist.
This made Emperor Xia realize that he could not directly attack Xia Yunqiu in public, so he prepared to wait for the movements of all parties.
Xia Yunqiu, the Jade Cave Paradise, and the Prince are all causally related. If these two parties take action, they can also solve the trouble for Emperor Xia.
However, in the subsequent news conveyed by the shadow guards, everyone gave up the idea of targeting Wuxuan Pavilion, which made Emperor Xia furious.
Emperor Xia, who was out of control, almost ordered the destruction of Wuxuan Pavilion and brought Xia Yunqiu back to the palace, but in the end he suppressed his inner impulse with reason.
The great task of re-establishing the city gods lies ahead, and the dynasty's fortune cannot withstand such a turmoil.
"Are we going to let that evil girl grow up freely?"
As soon as this thought arose, it was immediately rejected by Emperor Xia.
"No! If her fire of humanity is allowed to grow again, it is very likely to affect the fate of humanity. We must eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible."
"I cannot take action. The Crown Prince and the blessed land of the cave are afraid of the name of the Supreme Daoist and dare not take action. Now in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, only the ghosts and gods of the underworld who have the support of the Emperor of Fengdu have the capital to not be afraid of the Supreme Daoist."
Thinking of this, Emperor Xia finally showed a smile on his face.
Picking up a blank secret letter, Emperor Xia wrote long passages with great enthusiasm.
The shadow guard quietly emerged from the shadows, and Emperor Xia handed the secret letter to the shadow guard.
"Give this secret letter to the Six Heavenly Gods of Luofeng. I want to ask the ghosts and gods of the underworld to help me solve this hidden danger."
