Yu Shuang didn't care about the rise and fall of dynasties; she just wanted to quietly cultivate her immortality.
But she has always been protective of her own people; if her own people are bullied, how could she not seek revenge?
Even if her apprentice used a little trick, deliberately returning in a disheveled state, without healing his wounds or tidying up his appearance, he would use this self-inflicted injury as a pretext in front of her.
The two disciples, whose strength had been personally recognized by her before being sent down the mountain, were actually beaten so badly.
Especially Shi Xin, who lost a leg and fell into a coma.
I was misled by the original plot—
In the original storyline, this Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't appear much. He mainly told fortunes, predicted future fortunes, paved the way for the male and female leads, and served as a supporting character.
I really didn't expect that someone could travel thousands of miles away in spirit to hurt people.
If it weren't for his two apprentices' ability to save their own lives, he would have actually succeeded.
Alright, alright... I'll go kill that damned Imperial Preceptor to vent my anger.
"The path you are about to take is too heavy with killing and karmic consequences, so your master will not participate."
The light in Ji Ruxue's eyes dimmed, and a sense of sorrow welled up in her heart. Then she heard the immortal master say again:
"That old bastard dared to injure my disciple; he's asking for trouble. If I don't avenge him, my resolve will waver. I'll go get revenge right now. You stay here and heal your wounds; I'll be right back."
Ji Ruxue's pupils dilated, and her expression shifted slightly, "Immortal Master..."
They're still on their side...
The pent-up emotions in her heart vanished, her eyes moistened slightly, and she nodded emphatically once more.
...
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence in Kyoto.
With the support of his disciples and the array formation, the Imperial Preceptor Xu Wuzi traveled thousands of miles away to resolve the variable that was about to overturn the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He was still somewhat wary of the one in Ziyun Temple, who had threatened to spare their lives if they swore to return to Ziyun Temple and never again cause trouble in the world.
Unexpectedly, the two women were so stubborn, preferring death to submission. They also harbored resentment towards his prediction years ago that she had the "appearance of an emperor."
She boasted that she wanted to show the world that women can also achieve great things.
How ridiculous! Going against the will of Heaven will surely bring disaster.
Since he wasn't going back to the Ziyun Temple to stay there, and was determined to come out and wreak havoc on the Great Zhou, then he resolved this variable.
However, he underestimated the two women's abilities. Their martial arts skills were unparalleled, and they managed to carve out a bloody path through his deadly attacks, allowing them to escape.
"Master, has the variable been resolved?" The disciples asked, their eyes filled with undisguised fervent worship as they saw their master return to his divine form.
Xu Wuzi shook his head with a look of regret.
The disciples sighed inwardly. Even their omnipotent master had his moments of failure; that unforeseen variable was truly formidable.
"This spiritual journey has greatly depleted my vital energy. I need to go into seclusion for a while. After some time, I will personally go south to resolve the unforeseen circumstances."
With the Kongtong Seal by his side, even if the person from Ziyun Temple personally came down the mountain to protect him, he was confident he could succeed.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Wuzi suddenly opened his eyes, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
I never expected that the person from Ziyun Mountain would arrive in Kyoto so quickly.
In an instant, he arrived on the terrace and gazed into the distance. A woman's figure appeared, riding the clouds and mist, with a sacred and solemn celestial image behind her.
He paused for a moment upon seeing this, then quickly formed hand seals.
Knowing that the other party was still a mortal and not a true immortal, he felt much more at ease.
I was almost fooled by this illusion.
Even knowing that the other party was still a mortal, they dared not let their guard down.
With his ability to fly through the air, and the array on Purple Cloud Mountain that even his ethereal spirit couldn't penetrate, he was able to achieve his goal.
He couldn't deduce the other person's abilities; perhaps they truly were a reincarnated immortal.
I don't want to provoke anyone unless absolutely necessary.
"Fellow Daoist, you have come uninvited. May I ask what brings you here?"
Yu Shuang arrogantly ascended to power above the capital, and the ignorant and superstitious people, seeing this awe-inspiring scene, had already prostrated themselves in worship.
May the immortals bless you…
"Naturally, I've come to uphold justice for my disciples."
Without saying a word, he struck the old man with a palm strike from mid-air.
Yu Shuang went to the south first, and felt a bit annoyed when she thought of the miserable state of Shi Xin's disciple.
Xu Wuzi remained quite calm, and with a slight sweep of his whisk, he intercepted the attack.
Yu Shuang exclaimed in surprise; the power the old man used was truly mysterious.
It did not originate from him personally, nor from the spiritual power of heaven and earth; it seemed to be a kind of power derived from the laws of the Great Dao.
This power was particularly strong in Kyoto, as if the entire city had become his dojo, providing him with a continuous source of energy.
Yu Shuang's gaze sharpened, and she roughly knew that what the other person was practicing was a path of cultivation that she had comprehended a few years ago.
By being connected to the rise and fall of the entire dynasty, one can draw upon the power of the nation's destiny to bless oneself.
"You're making a move right away, fellow Daoist! You're far too arrogant!"
After this encounter, Xu Wuzi had a clear understanding of the situation. The reincarnation of an immortal was nothing special; his only strength lay in his array formations.
He couldn't do anything to the other party at Ziyun Temple, and the other party couldn't do anything to him either, even on his own territory.
With a flick of his whisk, an invisible force shot straight toward Yu Shuang.
Yu Shuang easily defused the situation with a wave of her hand, and didn't waste any words with him. Whether she could win or not, she would only know after the fight.
"You've injured my disciple, that's a deep-seated enmity. Do you expect me to be polite to you?"
The entire Imperial Preceptor's mansion was bombarded with various spells, and in an instant, the sky darkened, buildings collapsed, and disciples wailed in agony.
Not long after, Yu Shuang, still elegant and dignified, rode away on a cloud, leaving behind a mess.
Pshaw, I thought it was going to be a high-level game, is this all?
It's just that the old man has the blessing of national fortune and a fully stacked defensive buff, so he's temporarily unkillable.
Giving them a lesson is easy enough.
