“Ahhhhhh-”
The harsh hissing sound was followed by the chirp of a bursting charge and the flash of electricity from the sky.
When news of Qu Zhen’s death reached Daoist Zhengtian’s ears, he was already completely mad, and immediately burst out with his true qi, rushing madly towards the place where Qu Zhen had died.
“What’s the point of being late.”
With a soft sigh, Lin Zixiao extinguished the last bit of affection left in his heart and said in a cold voice, “Has everything been dealt with?”
“All those who wish to follow the Taoist Master are ready, and those who do not wish to leave have been knocked unconscious.”
A figure came from the back and reported to Lin Zixiao.
After all, they were fellow disciples, and killing them might make the rest discontent. Lin Zixiao could kill them with a hard heart, but the others might not.
Therefore, the only way was to knock him out.
“The people of the Shadow Tower are hiding very secretly, so hurry up and leave immediately.” Lin Zixiao said.
Even among those who wanted to follow him, the Lord of the Divine Sky, out, there might not be any traitors. Or should I say, it would be strange if there wasn’t someone hiding among them to tip them off.
All Lin Zixiao could do was to send his inner circle to keep an eye on them with their divine sense at all times and leave immediately.
The man nodded and quietly retreated to make arrangements to leave.
As for Lin Zixiao, he was still standing in place, motionless, seemingly waiting for something, and seemingly simply watching the scenery.
After a long time, he finally spoke out, “Ji Chengtian, are you still not coming out?”
Unexpectedly, Lin Zixiao threatened to tell Ji Chengtian to come out. And also after these words fell, the emperor in the five-clawed golden dragon robe appeared on the eaves above the terrace.
“How did you find out about me?” Ji Chengtian asked in a somewhat strange manner.
Before he became an emperor, he was a king in the shadows, and when he first took charge of the Shadow Tower, the a*sa*sinations and sneakings he performed were many.
In terms of sneaking techniques and strength, Ji Chengtian should not have been discovered by Lin Zixiao.
“The poor dao did not discover you, but someone made this guess.”
Lin Zixiao turned around and looked at the figure towering above him. The sun shone on the golden dragon imperial robe, reflecting a shining light, and the figure full of imperial aura was like a heavenly god descending from the earth, making it hard to look straight at.
“With your ability, how come you can’t spot the slightest hint, now that Zheng Tian is the only one making a move, it’s too quiet.” Lin Zixiao said indifferently.
Yes, it was too quiet, not even a single ripple had been made.
At any rate, Qu Zhen was also a disciple of the Holy Virtue Emperor Ji Chengtian, and with his death, why was there no reaction from the palace?
Lin Zixiao didn’t think that the Shadow Tower’s news was that closed. The reason why it was so was just because someone had already made a move.
“Brother Lin, you and I have been working together for forty years, right? Divine Sky Dao and the Shadow Tower have always had a close relationship and supported each other, so why have they fallen to this state now?”
Ji Chengtian’s face could not hide the look of regret, “When Divine Sky Path joins our dynasty, I will give you a position under one person and above all others, and if you are willing, the position of State Master is yours. Why do you want to leave?”
“It is only right that you should know why you left. Otherwise, why else would you want to erode the Divine Heavenly Way through Qu Zhen and Zheng Tian?” Lin Zixiao asked rhetorically.
It was because he knew that Lin Zixiao would not submit that he took the curved route to save the country. First, you would make the entire Divine Sky Dao return to your heart, and then make Lin Zixiao have to submit.
“But in the end, you cannot escape me, and neither can Divine Heavenly Dao go.”
The aura of the sky and the earth completely erupted, Ji Chengtian’s upright figure seemed to be pulling up infinitely, obviously as normal, but exuding an aura like that of a giant in the sky.
This was Ji Chengtian’s power. Although he had not long become a supreme power, he was able to catch up with some of the old-timers when it came to the Essence and Spirit Triad.
“The Divine Sky Dao, it’s still a walk in the park.”
There was not a single sound, nor a hint of qi leaking out, and no one noticed his arrival until the sound was made. When Ji Chengtian turned to look, he saw a snow-white figure already standing in the air not far to his right.
His three thousand white hair was tied up by a lotus crown, and the hem of his white and purple-printed daoist robe was fluttering in the wind, as if he was about to ride away at any moment.
“Holy Virtue Emperor, it’s been a long time!” Qing Yu revealed a small smile and said as such.
It was a long absence, although we had met within the Heavenly Vault and talked through the Thousand Mile Mirror Light Formation, but it had been a few years since we met like this today, right?
“Qing Yu ——” Ji Chengtian looked coldly at this uninvited white-haired Daoist, “It really is you!”
The reason why he hadn’t done anything was because he sensed that there was a hand behind the scenes that was quietly pushing, and he even suspected that the identity of that person was very likely to be Qing Yu.
Now, the suspicion was confirmed, and it was indeed Qing Yu.
“It is none other than Poor Dao.”
Qing Yu still wore a smile, “The disciples of the Divine Heavenly Dao have already left through the tunnel, and on Daoist Lin’s side, with the poor dao present, he can also leave. Holy Virtue Emperor, the Divine Heavenly Dao can leave, you cannot stop them.”
As the victor of this invisible contest, he was able to laugh. Although Emperor Shengde was also a handy man who had anticipated Lin Zixiao’s plan, he could not resist Qing Yu’s direct access to the field.
The Holy Virtue Emperor was staring at Lin Zixiao too closely, or rather he only valued Lin Zixiao.
But Lin Zixiao, on the other hand, valued the Divine Heavenly Dao even more. So he used his body as bait to attract the Saint Deity Emperor’s attention.
As long as he was still there, the Saint Deity Emperor didn’t really care too much about the movements of the rest of the people.
When Emperor Shengde thought he had learnt of Lin Zixiao’s plan and came to intercept him, he discovered that Qing Yu had arrived quietly at some point.
Terrible and frightening, this former investment was too much. The surroundings were covered with Emperor Shengde’s true qi, not a single trace of it was missed, but Qing Yu had sneaked into the vicinity silently under such circumstances, completely ignoring the detection of true qi.
It was as if he was originally one with this true qi.
Although Emperor Shengde’s shock was subtle, it was still seen by Qing Yu. In response, Qing Yu could only say that trying to detect his arrival would be even more difficult than defeating him.
With Qing Yu’s control of Yuan Qi and the absorption of the three channels of Xuan Qi left behind by the incarnation in the True Martial Jade Biscuit, as long as he did not make a move, then even if he was a ten feet closer, Emperor Shengde would not be able to detect it.
“A leaf of blindness does not see Mount Tai. I have been a little too critical of Lin Zixiao, or should I say too scrupulous of you, to make such a mistake.”
The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and Emperor Shengde laughed at himself helplessly.
When he suspected Qing Yu, an extremely strong feeling of scruples surged up inside him.
This person, Qing Yu, was simply too bizarre. When he first came into contact with the Shadow Tower, he was only an Innate, and to the Shadow King at that time, he was even a mole that could be crushed with a smooth hand.
But now, Qing Yu was the True Martial Daoist Monarch of the Dao Sect, the sixth in the Heavenly Ranking, and someone who was allied with the Northern Zhou and Devil Sect.
This kind of strength and power, in total, already surpa*ses that of Ji Chengtian, who was so high up in the sky. It would not be too much to say that Ji Chengtian could not be more afraid of such a person.
