Chapter 275 - 275: 177. Dao Sect’s Opportunity
“How did you do it?”
“I invited him into the manor and chatted with him for a while. He seemed to be quite satisfied. Don’t worry, teacher. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.”
The information from the leather scroll contract was interrupted. The new king, who was ready to betray the country, had already completed his intelligence feedback.
Xia Ji knew that the appearance of the state preceptor meant that the aristocratic families had begun to integrate the martial world.
The Hidden Lord unified the underground world, and the Imperial Advisor unified the martial world.
No matter what he did, he would immediately confront them.
He ate a few more wontons.
The leather scroll contract moved again.
This time, it was Hu Xian Er.
“The old Daoist in linen clothes who came to find the Empress last year is here again. He calls himself the Jingming Cult Master and says that he wants to bring the Empress to the grotto-heaven to cultivate and seek immortality.
If the Empress doesn’t go, that old Daoist must take the Empress away. He said that if she doesn’t leave, disaster will befall her. ‘
Xia Ji recalled that this old Daoist had contributed a golden skill bead, the
[Clarity Dao Technique], which allowed him to master many Dao techniques. He definitely had a faction backing him, and it might even be a transcendent faction with an ancient legacy.
He had always wanted to find these extraordinary powers, but he had no way to enter.
According to Su Tian, these forces were the kind that were ” invincible in their own territory “. If they did not have a guide and forcefully entered, they would be courting death.
Moreover, the location of these forces was almost a mystery.
If he could enter this place, he would definitely be able to gain something. The current situation was still calm. He had to seize every opportunity to
“develop”.
“Wait for me to come back.”
After Xia Ji finished his words, he quickly ate his wonton and found a hidden spot. He pinched the Curse Painting and disappeared.
In a messy storage room in a residence in the Imperial City.
The air fluctuated.
Then, a figure appeared.
Xia Ji looked at the Curse Diagram. After using it twice in a few days, the magic tool was showing signs of ” cracking “. It seemed that it could no longer be used for a short period of time, and it would take a long time to recover. He casually put away the magic tool, wrapped his python robe again, and walked toward the palace.
At this moment, in the Imperial Palace.
The morning court session has ended,
In the empty hall,
The old Daoist in hemp clothes held his cane and looked up at the Empress on the throne calmly.
Xia Xiaosu’s expression was calm. Her pale and petite body was wrapped in a
golden dragon robe. She said,”Thank you, Immortal, but my ambition is not to cultivate.”
“I can see it, so I know.”
However, I still have to take you away because this is not a place to stay for long.”
He took two steps forward and decided to take it away by force.
Two female attendants immediately came out to stop him.
The old Daoist priest smiled and let out a light breath.
Instantly, the air in the palace became chaotic.
The two ninth-level Empress ‘attendants were instantly blown away by the airflow.
The two knew that they were no match for him, but they still pulled out their sabers and slowly retreated as the old Daoist advanced.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind Xia Xiaosu.
Hu Xian Er grabbed the back of the dragon throne with both hands and propped herself up. Only by doing so could she display the might of a mysterious existence behind the Empress.
Her entire body was bathed in darkness, and all light disappeared here.
Xia Xiaosu leaned back slightly. ” Immortal, I advise you not to be rash. You can’t take me away from the palace. ” But I’m very curious. Why must you bring me to cultivate?”
The old Daoist sat down and his eyes moved slightly. He did not know when, but the entire palace hall had darkened. In the darkness, there seemed to be many pairs of eyes staring at him.
White eagles descended from the sky and landed on the glazed tiles of the palace or the corners of the Moon Pavilion as if they were resting. In addition, the empress on the throne was also illusory.
If you’re here, if you’re not,
The old daoist recognized that this was a highly skilled formation of the scholarly faction.
Thus, he stopped in his tracks and suddenly chanted softly, “”Huabiao, a crane returns in a thousand years, condensing the core to cover the snow as clothes. The stars and immortals have heard it all, but they have flapped their wings and flown to the five clouds.”
After he finished reading, the old Taoist said, ” A hundred years, a thousand years, the world has changed. Time has changed, and it has not stopped. Why must the Empress rise and fall in these decades?
The world will have a wise monarch who will create a new dynasty for thousands of years.
This world is not your world, but your calamity.
The good you want to do may not be the evil that others will block in the future. Why do more?
Why don’t you follow me back to the mountain and become an immortal? Why do you have to spend so much effort and do meaningless things?
Right now, your essence, qi, and spirit are all suppressed in the old Taoist temple. You’re like a pearl covered in dust, unable to shine.” His words were so infectious that Xia Xiaosu was stunned.
That’s right…
For countless years in the human world, even if she worked hard to be an empress, she could only protect one area.
Now that the aristocratic families were in charge of the background, creating a new dynasty was the most suitable method for them.
Furthermore, the fire tribulation was coming from the west, and the imperial capital of the Northern Reaches was bearing the brunt of it. What was the point of all of his actions?
Why don’t you follow me to the mountains to cultivate? Maybe you can achieve immortality and keep up with your brother’s footsteps. You won’t be siblings for decades, but relatives for hundreds of years.
What was he insisting on?
Confusion flashed across her eyes.
Suddenly, a voice that contained thunder but was as still as still water came from outside.
“Because you’re Xia Xiaosu.”
His voice was like a long dragon, instantly dispersing the atmosphere brewing in the old Daoist’s words and waking the Empress up.
In fact, this was not an illusion. It was the truth. However, everyone had their own persistence and opportunities. If one gave up their persistence because of one sentence, no matter what the future path was, it was ultimately wrong.
If Xia Xiaosu were to follow the old Taoist priest now, she would be denying everything that she had lived for since she was young. If a person did not have a past, how could he have a future?
Because you’re my sister. ‘
The voice came along with a figure.
The doors of the throne room were wide open.
The sunlight pierced through everything.
The female attendants hurriedly half-kneeled in front of the person walking in from outside the door and respectfully said, “”Greetings, King Shenwu.” The old Daoist narrowed his eyes, but he did not turn around.
“What about me, Old Taoist?” Xia Ji asked.
The old Daoist closed his eyes and sensed the aura. Then, he smiled bitterly. He had said that Xia Xiaosu was a pearl covered in dust, unable to shine brightly. However, at this moment, King Shenwu was like a blazing sun. His essence, energy, and spirit had already surpassed the limit, making it impossible for others to look at him directly.
If it was before, he would have wanted to take the Empress away by force, but ever since Xia Ji came, he had dispelled this idea.
He sighed softly, “It’s not my fate, nor the Empress ‘fate.” Let’s part ways here.”
After saying that, he immediately turned around, wanting to see what the world-famous King Shenwu looked like.
However, no one was standing behind him.
The old Daoist was stunned and revealed a shocked expression.
The aura was actually just a phantom condensed from the aura that made him retreat.
No wonder it was regarded as the number one anomaly by the aristocratic families.
The old Daoist walked out of the palace. Xia Xiaosu did not stop him. After all, the old Daoist had no ill intentions towards her.
She stared blankly at the disappearing shadow in front of the door, a strange sadness in her heart.
It seemed that he was getting further and further away from his brother.
That detestable Black Dragon had taken away his only chance to become stronger, the Heavenly Demon Transformation.
After the old Daoist left the palace, Xia Ji followed him.
He immediately activated the [Nanhua Six Scrolls: Hide the Heavens in the Field] and gathered all his power into his heart.
His aura was completely hidden, just like a mortal. Even if the ancestor stood in front of him, it was impossible to discover his abnormality without looking carefully, let alone the old Daoist.
After the old Daoist left the city, he also left the city.
As he walked, the leather contract suddenly rang again.
It was Hu Xian Er.
“Master, your mother asked you why you disappeared when you just came back.”
“I’m busy.”
“Your mother asked if you’re coming back for dinner tonight?”
Xia Ji scanned the surrounding wilderness. ” No thanks. ‘
After a while.
Hu Xian Er suddenly sent another message, [Your mother is asking me who I am and why I can talk to you on the phone.] Master, what do you mean by phone porridge?”
Xia Ji was speechless. “Your mother asked me why I’m only 1.1 meters…”
Xia Ji was speechless.
“Your mother said that she also wants a magic tool for long-distance communication.”
Xia Ji was speechless.
It was better not to let his mother know about the leather scroll contract. After all, it was a secret.
After thinking for a while, he couldn’t explain it to his mother, so he replied,
“”Don’t let my mother see you.”
Hu Xian Er replied with an “oh” and then ended the conversation.
Xia Ji looked ahead. The old Daoist was still hurrying forward, and his speed was getting faster and faster. He was like a gust of wind, and he easily followed behind..
