"..."
Instead of directly answering Chi Huang's rhetorical question, Xuan Jue just glanced at him with an indifferent expression.
"Where is Li Yanran?"
"Isn't she with you? Where is she now?"
Although Xuan Jue didn't like spying on his subordinates, he was still quite concerned about the newly joined "White Tiger Envoy".
Not to mention his unnatural act of "transforming into a demon", the fact that he was able to raise five ghosts with the names and abilities of ghosts and gods was enough to amaze all those who knew about it.
Not to mention, Xuan Jue also knew that Li Yanran had a close relationship with Hui Ji and Pei Wende.
He had already obtained the Luofu Taoist Plate, but Li Yanran didn't come over to ask him to destroy the Luofu Taoist Plate and release Hui Ji who was imprisoned in the Daming Palace. This was a bit confusing no matter how he thought about it.
"After she helped me win the 'True Dragon's Qi', she took the initiative to leave the Bad Company."
When Xuan Jue sneaked into the Imperial Prefect's Mansion and Han Xiangzi made a big fuss in Qin Tian Prison, Chi Huang also led Li Yanran into the Bad Division and successfully regained the "true dragon's energy" separated by Hui Ji.
"Yeah?"
Rolling his eyes in confusion, Xuan Jue did not continue to ask any more questions, but turned his gaze to the direction of the Imperial Master's Mansion again.
Because he knew that Zhao Guizhen still failed to live up to his wish and was trapped in the palace by the promise made twenty years ago.
The only good thing is that he has already obtained the "Luofu Taoist Plate" and "True Dragon's Qi" he planned for, so it's not all a gain.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In Chang'an City, in the Imperial Prefecture.
Seriously!
There was neither the roar of sound nor the abnormal movement that tore the air.
When Zhao Guizhen's Yuan Shen appeared out of thin air in the backyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion, there was not even a slight movement around, only a breeze gently blowing his cheeks.
——Move like thunder and quiet like breeze.
The battle can roar like thunder, and when not fighting, it can also blow like a breeze...
This is the "unity of nature and man" that Taoism truly emphasizes, and it is also a supreme state that countless practitioners find difficult to achieve in their lifetimes.
It is not simply about communicating the vitality of heaven and earth and strengthening one's own abilities, but like true nature, reaching a subtle and harmonious relationship with all things, and only making the most correct choices when needed most.
To put it in layman's terms, the description is - "Every time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and heroes are not free when they are transported."
At this moment, Zhao Guizhen just wants to be in a state of "timely arrival" anytime and anywhere, so that he can be the most perfect in terms of time, location, people, etc.
In this way, Zhao Gui can always maintain himself at his peak state to cope with crises that may come at any time.
Theoretically speaking, excessive vigilance or excessive relaxation "does not exist" for Zhao Guizhen, because he always only makes the most correct actions when it is most needed.
But a theory is just a theory after all.
Zhao Guizhen is not a real god. He also has his own feelings and thoughts, as well as his own joys and sorrows, and longings.
Therefore, no matter how close Zhao Guizhen's previous performance was to a perfect "sage", he would still show anxiety and worry when facing things he cared about.
"Zi Yang?"
There is no doubt that Ziyang, who was raised by him since childhood and inherited all his mantles, is the relative in the world who can touch Zhao Guizhen's emotions the most.
Just like all fathers who care about their children, even if Zhao Guizhen knew that Ziyang would have greater achievements in the future, he would definitely not die here easily.
But when he saw the messy Imperial Master's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel worried.
This has nothing to do with physiognomy or prophecy, it is just Zhao Guizhen's instinctive reaction as a "father".
Because he was not sure whether demon kings like Pei Hui and Xuan Jue, who were selfish and arrogant and did not take anyone seriously, would care about the consequences of "cutting off the lineage of Fu Lu Dao".
"Master..."
Fortunately, no matter what, Zhao Guizhen's reputation as "the first person in the world" still worked.
Even if he is as arrogant and conceited as Xuan Jue, he never wants to face the wrath of the "number one person in the world" again.
When he was in the Zhenwu world, the experience of being severely injured by Zhao Guizhen's palm once was enough. Xuan Jue would not experience it a second time at this critical moment.
After all, if you just simply snatch the "Luofu Dao Plate", it will be a battle of ideas and royal power at best.
But if Ziyang, the direct disciple, is killed, it will really be a matter of destroying the human Taoist lineage and ending the human inheritance.
Even a "Xianyun Yehe" like Zhao Guizhen who has no intention of political power would probably fight to the death with Xuan Jue and the others!
Xuan Jue or Pei Hui didn't want things to develop to that point.
So when he was snatching the Luofu Taoist disk, Xuan Jue just knocked out the young Taoist priests and didn't do anything to make Zhao Guizhen die.
"Master, I have embarrassed you."
Ziyang staggered out of the backyard, with her hair crown askew and a look of shame on her face. She felt ashamed to see her master again and just lowered her head and stopped talking.
From Ziyang's point of view, if he hadn't ignored the dissuasion and wanted to use the power of Luofu Daopan to prevent the fight between Xiaoqing and Wulinshui, Xuan Jue would not have discovered the fact that Luofu Daopan was in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."
Like all feudal parents, the moment he saw Ziyang unharmed, Zhao Guizhen finally let go of his hanging heart, and then said in an understatement.
To be honest, if Zhao Guizhen hadn't gasped for breath in a hurry, just judging from his face at this moment, the anxious and worried expression before could not be seen at all.
This may also be the "stubbornness" of all feudal parents.
They never show vulnerability or panic in front of their children easily, even if their children are no longer "children".
"Where's Li Gang?"
Besides Zi Yang, Zhao Guizhen was most concerned about Li Gang, who was still practicing in seclusion.
Since Xuan Jue chose to knock out all the little Taoist priests present, there was no reason why Li Gang, who was practicing in seclusion, was an exception.
After all, it was with the manifestation of Zhao Guizhen's ray of Yang that Li Gang dared to confront Xuan Jue head-on, even severely injuring him.
When it comes to true cultivation, even after successfully breaking through in seclusion, Li Gang still has a huge and insurmountable gap with Xuan Jue.
"Teacher, I'm fine."
At this moment, Li Gang walked out of the backyard step by step with a dejected face.
"Xuan Jue didn't hurt me, he just knocked me out."
Although their tone was as calm as possible, Zhao Guizhen and Ziyang still heard a strong sense of unwillingness in each other's words.
"It doesn't matter. After all, you have just broken through the bottleneck. It is not a shame to be defeated by Xuan Jue."
