Just then, a sliver of moonlight flashed by, forcing Zhao Hao to withdraw his fist to defend himself. He then stared at the other woman with long hair that reached her hips, his face grim.
"Ice Stone Maiden, how are you going to thank me for saving your life this time?" Yun Jianyue manipulated the crescent moon wheel around her with her fingers, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Yan Xuehen snorted: "I didn't ask you for help."
Anyway, even if you don't help, that guy won't just stand by and do nothing.
"She's always been a cold and ungrateful woman." Although Yun Jianyue was teasing, her attention was entirely on Zhao Hao.
Previously, when facing the Ghost King, the opponent's Demonic Sound Soul-Absorbing Skill rendered these experts powerless, leaving them only able to passively endure the attacks.
But facing Zhao Hao is different; at least there's a chance to fight.
Zhao Hao frowned. How did these two women improve their cultivation so much?
Back when Yun Jianyue attacked and assassinated, she was slapped away before she even saw her face. How long has it been? She has already vaguely touched the threshold of the Earth Immortal realm.
And then there's Yan Xuehen. Because she often represents Baiyujing in the world, Xiulou already has a clear understanding of her strength. How could she have made such rapid progress?
Could it be that they both ate some kind of magic potion at the same time?
"Everyone knows you two are mortal enemies, yet you've joined forces against them today. I consider myself honored to have achieved this," Zhao Hao said with a smile. He was in high spirits, as there were already signs of further progress.
Yun Jianyue smiled enigmatically: "Your Majesty, the man who has us joining forces against the enemy is not you."
Yan Xuehen glared at her guiltily. What nonsense was this woman spouting in front of her disciples?
Although she glanced subtly in the direction of Zu'an, these small gestures did not escape Zhao Hao's eyes. When he saw her unusually shy expression, Zhao Hao was first taken aback, and then his heart sank.
A fairy who is detached from worldly affairs has fallen in love with a mortal, and the object of her affection is a scoundrel she despises.
If she treats everyone equally, everyone will assume that she is devoted to spiritual cultivation and doesn't like men, and she herself won't feel anything is wrong.
But seeing other men make money now is even more painful than losing money myself.
Anger points from Zhao Hao: +444 +444 +444...
"Since that's the case, then I'll show you who the strongest man in the world is." Zhao Hao angrily swung his fist, instantly transforming into two streaks of light that attacked the two women.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue dared not be negligent and both focused their attention on the enemy.
While observing the battle, Zuan anxiously asked the High Priest, "What exactly do you want to tell me?"
"Back on Purple Mountain, you must have heard why I wanted to deal with Zhao Hao, right?" Seeing the two women's reactions and his tense expression, the High Priest's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he had just realized something.
"Because of the Meng Dynasty, and the previous dynasty's... empress?" Zu'an tentatively replied.
“There’s no need to hide anything from me,” the chief priest smiled, “Meng Chao is nothing but a passing cloud to me; all I care about is her.”
Zu An thought to himself that this chief priest was the ultimate sycophant, who liked his sister-in-law and spent his whole life scheming for the offspring of his sister-in-law and his rival.
At this point, the chief priest said, "Back then, many of her descendants were killed by the Zhao family. But later I learned that the eunuch who handled this matter back then was uneasy and secretly switched one of the imperial grandsons outside the palace. That imperial grandson is now living among the common people. Judging by his age, he should be about the same as you. I hope you can find him and tell him everything so that he can shoulder the responsibility he should bear."
Zuan frowned: "The world is so big, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find."
He could have easily agreed, but he was grateful for the other party's kindness and didn't want to fool him.
The chief priest took off the ring on his hand: "Take this and go to my residence in the back mountain of the academy. Find my old servant, and he will naturally tell you the relevant clues. I'm just worried that after finding that person, he won't be willing to bear the responsibility."
Zuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Chief Minister. So many people have given their lives and even their lives for him. What right does he have to refuse? If he dares to refuse, I'll beat him until he agrees."
The chief priest nodded with satisfaction: "I'm relieved to hear you say that."
Zu'an suddenly frowned: "The imperial grandson you're talking about isn't me, is it?"
This old fox seems to be setting a trap for him.
The chief priest smiled and said, "Your imagination is a bit too rich. If it were you, I would just tell you directly. Why go through all this trouble?"
Zu An thought about it and agreed.
At this moment, the head priest spoke again: "Dao Yun, you are my witness. From now on, he will be the new head priest of the academy."
"Huh?" Not to mention Xie Daoyun, even Zu An was dumbfounded.
