In Chang'an City, near the luxurious mansion.
"Alas, my temperament is really not suitable for teaching disciples."
As if he heard Ziyang talking to himself, Zhao Guizhen, who was outside the courtyard wall, couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Qing?"
On the other hand, Pei Wende at this time had no intention of continuing to talk to Zhao Guizhen. He raised his legs and ran at high speed in the direction of Ci'en Temple.
At this point, Pei Wende no longer cared about the shocked people nearby. After accumulating enough acceleration, he jumped straight into the sky without hesitation.
Seriously!
Like a sharp arrow tearing through the night sky, Pei Wende's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Xuan Jue, is this what you want to see?"
Watching Pei Wende's back completely disappear, Zhao Guizhen did not disperse his spirit, but instead shouted towards the luxurious mansion.
Unlike Pei Wende who was worried about Xiaoqing and anxious to leave, Zhao Guizhen knew Xuan Jue's character well.
Although this great demon who has been sealed for hundreds of years has a perverse personality and a hot temper, he is the kind of demon who is deeply infatuated.
Now that Pei Hui has shown up, there is no reason why Xuan Jue can't stay by her side.
Especially after seeing Pei Wende come out of the Zhenwu world, Zhao Guizhen was even more convinced of this.
Because the Zhenwu Realm is a cave unique to Xuan Jue, only he can open it again after Pei Hui's death.
"I will go for what you wish, so why should the Taoist priest make sarcastic remarks?"
A calm voice came from the darkness, but there was a hint of sadness that could not be hidden.
In fact, when Pei Hui destroyed the seven-stringed harp, Xuan Jue had already guessed the other party's choice.
If Xuan Jue had appeared to stop him at that time, there would have been a certain chance of preventing Pei Hui from dying.
However, as Xuan Jue himself said, since this was Pei Hui's determined choice, all he could do was respect and help.
"I don't think it's necessarily sarcasm."
Watching the Xuan Jue figure walking out of the darkness little by little, Zhao Guizhen just continued speaking with an indifferent expression.
"After all, there is a difference between humans and monsters. The only way to get rid of them as soon as possible is to get rid of them as soon as possible."
It was only then that Xuan Jue's figure was completely exposed to Zhao Guizhen's field of vision.
However, what is different from Zhao Guizhen's imagination is that the Xuan Jue who appears here at this moment is not his true body, but the manifestation of the same soul as him.
Or to be more precise, what appeared in front of Zhao Guizhen at this moment was a ray of immortal Yang Shen.
From the moment a Taoist practitioner becomes a Yuanshen, he has the ability to fly to the sky, escape from the earth, and undergo myriad transformations.
And when the soul and the golden elixir are combined into one and can exist alone without the physical body, they are called Yin gods.
Even though the soul at this level still has many flaws and weaknesses, it already possesses the personality of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and even reincarnation cannot erase its essence.
Most of the gods and demons in myths and legends who reincarnated and experienced countless hardships and finally awakened their memories of past lives are practitioners at this level.
But there is actually another realm above the Yin God, which is the "Realm of the Yang God" that many Taoist practitioners dream of.
With a single thought, all things come into being, and the many flaws and weaknesses of the soul fade away. Even the six reincarnations cannot shake its will and thoughts. This is the so-called "Yang Shen".
"It turns out that Mrs. Pei's plan to conspire with Taoism was not just to block the eyes and ears of the old Taoist."
Somewhat surprised by Xuan Jue's talent, Zhao Guizhen really didn't expect that this big demon could actually use the power of the Luofu Dao Pan to get a glimpse of the true meaning of the Yangshen realm. Guzhao
"As expected, you are indeed the Black Turtle who helped Wu Zhao ascend to the position of Queen two hundred years ago. Your talent is truly amazing."
Unfortunately, in the face of Zhao Guizhen's heartfelt exclamation, Xuan Jue acted very indifferently.
"A junior who has been practicing for a thousand years is not as good as you, a junior who has been practicing for a hundred years. What's so amazing about such a talent?"
Xuan never denied that he originally assisted Wu Zhao in order to use the power of humanity to break through the shackles, just as he never denied that he was regarded as an abandoned son by Wu Zhao and was sealed under the monument without a word.
But Xuan Jue couldn't help but feel disgusted when someone mentioned that unbearable experience.
In the final analysis, compared with human practitioners, monsters ultimately lack a Taoist inheritance.
Even for a great demon with extraordinary talents like Xuan Jue, if he wanted to take the final step to break through Yang Shen, he would have to rely on human power.
"Ms. Pei's ability to decipher the wordless tablet was indeed due to my negligence..."
Instead of dwelling on this issue, Zhao Guizhen once again shifted the topic to Pei Hui.
"But now that she has chosen to die, why would you mislead my disciple and cause him to conflict with King of Light and Wende?"
Zhao Guizhen knew the character of his apprentice very well.
To put it nicely, one must be upright; to put it unfavorably, one must be inflexible and stubborn.
Being able to let such a guy leave the Imperial Master's Mansion and let go of the brothers who need his care can only mean that someone is deliberately instigating and instilling some messy things into him.
Zhao Guizhen was originally a little puzzled as to who could hide it from his senses and then sneak into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion under his nose.
This doubt only lasted until Zhao Guizhen saw Xuan Jue again, and he knew who was plotting against Ziyang behind his back.
Because for Xuan Jue, who already has the characteristics of Yang Shen, being distracted and omnipresent is just the most basic use of abilities.
Coupled with the Luofu Dao Plate he had taken away earlier, it was not difficult at all to sneak into the Imperial Master's Mansion without telling Zhao Guizhen.
"I just did it just in case."
Shaking his head indifferently, Xuan Jue never wanted to hide this from Zhao Guizhen from the beginning.
Everything Xuan Jue did was to enable Pei Hui's plan to proceed smoothly, which included distracting her from all things that might distract her.
However, the plan failed to keep up with the change. Pei Wende actually noticed Pei Hui's hiding place before the conflict with Ziyang.
Of course, from the perspective of hindsight, Xuan Jue knew that there was a high probability that Pei Hui had deliberately revealed this.
"It seems you didn't know her plan beforehand."
Although he had expected it, when he saw the expression on Xuan Jue's face, Zhao Guizhen couldn't help but feel pity for him.
"I am obsessed with an existence that is destined to be unable to accept you, and I will not hesitate to destroy my thousand years of cultivation..."
"In terms of infatuation and loyalty, you are definitely the best of all the monsters I have ever seen."
Keenly aware of the killing intent in Zhao Guizhen's words, Xuan Jue just smiled disdainfully.
"Zhao Guizhen, do you think I am still the same Xuan Jue I was before?"
"If you want to kill me, you have to see if you have the ability."
Before he finished speaking, Xuan Jue's figure disappeared in front of Zhao Guizhen's eyes, and only his voice still echoed in the darkness.
"But before that, you have to find my true body first."
