But the feud has already been formed, and that old man probably won't let it go easily; it has to be resolved.
Ultimately, it comes down to her own lack of strength. When she reaches the point where she can sever the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty with a mere wave of her hand, even ten old men wouldn't be enough for her to kill.
Although Ji Ruxue felt some regret, she was extremely grateful.
The immortal master can stand up for them, so things aren't too bad.
"You should stay in the forbidden area and cultivate for now. I will make two protective gadgets before you leave the mountain."
"Thank you, Immortal Master!"
...
Kyoto Imperial City.
Emperor Antai was greatly shocked upon hearing about the matter of the Imperial Preceptor's residence and sent people to investigate the situation in detail.
I learned from the disciples of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion that although Frost Immortal was a reincarnation of an immortal, he was still a mortal and could not do anything to the Imperial Preceptor.
Ha, the Imperial Preceptor's mansion has been razed to the ground, and you call this "helpless"?
With such helpers around, that rebellious woman might actually succeed.
If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned him at birth, and I wouldn't have these worries now.
Now that he is middle-aged, he can clearly feel that he is not as strong and powerful as he was in his prime, and he often cannot fully believe it.
He then sought the imperial advisor for a method to achieve immortality, but was repeatedly refused and stalled. Year after year, the elixir of immortality remained elusive.
He may have sensed that the imperial advisor was deceiving him, but he had no choice but to place his hopes on the imperial advisor.
The appearance of the Frost Immortal stirred something within him.
Perhaps we can win them over and seek the secret to immortality from them.
The fact that the Imperial Preceptor's residence was razed to the ground only made it harder for him to suppress this thought.
He then sent his trusted chief eunuch to Lin'an Prefecture.
Xu Wuzi sneered inwardly after learning of the commotion on Emperor Antai's side.
Ha, so what if we go to that person at Ziyun Temple?
Wanting to live forever and be the eternally supreme emperor of this country? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Those who cultivate immortality are doing so against the will of Heaven, like rowing against the current, barely able to take care of themselves.
Who would willingly bear such immense karmic burdens to grant an emperor immortality?
If the emperor has become disloyal, it wouldn't be a bad thing to replace him with someone else.
The bloodline of the Ji clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty is plentiful; he can find someone with great fortune at any time to exchange the Kongtong Seal for a true dragon.
There are already several candidates for the title of "True Dragon".
...
When Yu Shuang heard the abbot of Ziyun Temple report that a eunuch had come to see her with a secret imperial edict, revealing his intention to recruit her, she was shocked.
The female cultivators directly blasted the man out of the mountain.
The emperor was middle-aged and had done many absurd things in his desire for immortality, which she had heard about.
He recruited me simply because he wanted to fulfill his dream of immortality.
I want to live forever, why would I bother with him?
A few days later, another important person arrived at Ziyun Temple: a powerful prince who was a contender for the throne.
Despite his cunning and scheming, he didn't even get to see the immortal's face and slunk back home.
On this day, Yu Shuang suddenly had a premonition.
She had previously created two life-saving magical artifacts, one of which had its restrictions broken, activating the teleportation array.
The next moment she arrived at the place where the magical artifact's restrictions had been broken.
A series of whooshing sounds came from all directions, and she used her spiritual power to defend herself without thinking.
"Immortal Master!?"
Ji Ruxue's voice came from behind, weak yet joyful.
Without even looking, I knew he was in a half-dead state again.
Yu Shuang glanced coldly at the old man opposite her.
They've tortured my men into this terrible state again...
She was furious.
Xu Wuzi, facing her, was also fearless and stared directly at her.
"You've come at the perfect time; I'll take care of this variable of yours as well."
The magical artifact he held contained a mysterious and powerful aura, which was consistent with the power used by the old man.
Yu Shuang frowned instinctively.
With this item as an aid, the old man certainly had the ability to boast.
But if you use this thing too much, aren't you afraid of getting a backlash?
It seems this old man has no compassion for the entire Zhou Dynasty.
"This is the Kongtong Seal, the most precious treasure of my Qi Clan. No matter if you are a reincarnated immortal, as long as you are still a mortal, you will be subject to the fate of all humankind."
As he spoke, he said he had already controlled the Kongtong Seal and borrowed its immense power, launching a devastating attack on the person opposite him.
In an instant, the world changed color. Centered on him, the area within a ten-mile radius became his domain. Within his domain, he was the god who ruled over everything.
Yu Shuang cast a protective barrier for her little apprentice, her face showing impatience.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Regardless of national destiny or the fate of humanity, let's seize it and study it to see what's going on.
In an instant, all sorts of spells and supernatural abilities were unleashed, and the two fought fiercely in Xu Wuzi's home turf.
After several rounds of fighting, Yu Shuang realized that she couldn't seem to snatch that thing.
One must follow the same path of destiny as that old man to be able to control it.
Then look at that old man's smug, self-assured, and pretentious manner.
The more I look at it, the more annoyed I become.
Yu Shuang's gaze sharpened, and she made up her mind in an instant.
Xu Wuzi felt confident. Although he couldn't defeat his opponent for the time being, he could trap him and kill him when he was exhausted.
His power is inexhaustible, but the opponent's power will eventually run out. He just needs to stay here and wait it out.
Perhaps that person knew his plan, so he stopped wasting his energy fighting him and instead retreated to reinforce the barrier.
Xu Wuzi smiled victoriously. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
"Frost Immortal, we have no deep-seated hatred for each other, and I have no desire to be your enemy. If you sincerely repent, destroy your own foundation in the path of immortality, and hand this woman over to me for disposal, I may spare your life..."
