This person was, of course, the Dao Monarch. There were two dishes on the table and a pot of wine. He was dressed in the attire of a High Scholar and looked very relaxed. It was as if he was admiring the misty rainy scenery.
The Dao Monarch's eyes were fixed on the Imperial Qi of the palace and his heart was filled with unspeakable joy.
He had been paying attention to the progress of Pei Zi Yun's matter. After lying low for so many years, the chance to solve all his problems had finally arrived.
"Hmph, the circulation of the Imperial Qi is a huge matter."
"Even if one was a complete Dao Monarch and killed the Emperor, he would suffer a terrible backlash, much less an eighth level Earth Immortal."
"If the Emperor was at his wit's end, it would be fine. But the dynasty has just been established and the Dao Monarch is like the sun rising from the east. Killing the Emperor and breaking the Imperial Qi will cause the Dao Monarch to fall."
"Even if you can kill your way out of the palace, you will not be far from death.
"Once the Imperial Qi is broken, the seal will weaken. I can then help the main body break the seal and rule the land again."
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw the Imperial Qi in the palace shake violently. It dissipated for a while before gathering at a bright spot. Gradually, it calmed down and calmed down.
"What's going on? Why is the Imperial Qi changing?" The Dao Monarch was shocked, his face full of shock.
"Are you disappointed?" At this point, a voice came from the stairs. In the blink of an eye, Pei Zi Yun appeared on the third floor of the hotel. He walked over slowly and said, "Emperor Qi Tai is indeed impressive. At the most crucial moment, he chose the best method for me."
"In all fairness, your calculations were not wrong. The possibility of this being the best outcome is very low."
"The Grand Xu Dynasty's Draconic Qi has just been established, and the billions of commoners have placed their hopes on it. I want to break through the Draconic Qi and return to the chaotic world. Not to mention that I'm only at the 7th or 8th level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, even if I become a Daolord like you, I'll still fall in status and be doomed eternally."
"When that happens, you will be able to deal with it easily, right?"
"It's just that this generation of the dynasty is full of talents." Pei Zi Yun's tone became colder, "That's why I was lucky. Things did not go in the direction you had planned. Your plans were all for naught."
The Dao Monarch was both shocked and angry. Although he wasn't completely correct, he had hit the nail on the head. He had long prepared for this day to come. According to his calculations, no matter if Pei Zi Yun won or lost, there would be nothing to lose.
If Pei Zi Yun were to lose, based on his strength, the Imperial Qi of the empire would be greatly weakened. At that time, there would be hope for him to escape. If Pei Zi Yun were to win, based on his personality, he would kill the Emperor and appoint a new Emperor. He would even change the dynasty. In that case, he would not even need to do anything. Everything would belong to him.
However, man proposes, God disposes. The result was completely unexpected.
"Hmph, so what if you didn't break the Dragon Qi? You've been killing until now. How much magic power do you have left? Since you've walked right into my trap, don't blame me for bullying you. "The Dao Lord sneered.
Pei Zi Yun shook his head slowly, as if he didn't agree with the Dao Monarch's words. He then said, "If your real body were here, I might be a little afraid. But this is only your clone. Do you think I wouldn't have the confidence to come here?"
"Your doppelganger doesn't even have Iron Cast Bronze. How many moves would it take for me to kill you?"
"How arrogant!" The Daolord's face turned red.
Pei Zi Yun did not speak anymore. He walked forward slowly, his steps steady and calm.
The Dao Monarch stepped forward as well. Both of them were moving at a steady pace. When he took his third step, he laughed, "The Imperial Qi can block all spells. Why can't I … die!"
"Boom!"
The scene changed. He was now in a dilapidated palace. The palace was covered in frost and snow. There were broken statues, broken swords, broken armors and magical weapons everywhere. Corpses were strewn all over the place. Dark red blood seeped out from the corpses, forming a small stream that flowed into a garden not far away. Several tea trees had withered, and a pond had dried up. Only the pavilion was in good condition. Above it, three words could be seen, 'Pavilion of Ages'.
Then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by large droplets of rain.
"This is unbelievable." Pei Zi Yun scanned his surroundings and looked down at the green stones beneath his feet. They were slightly damp and cold.
Then, his gaze swept past the corpses and landed on the person in front of him. His eyes narrowed, "Iron Cast Bronze?"
In an instant, the Dao Monarch had reached this level. This was impossible!
Pei Zi Yun's eyes darkened. He realized that he had underestimated the Dao Monarch.
"This is my Dao Realm. Remember this name. Now, die!" The Dao Monarch's body was surrounded by a circle of lightning. Then, it gathered into an electric serpent that pounced forward.
"Boom!"
The speed of the electric serpent was unimaginable. In an instant, it landed and exploded. The Dao Monarch waved his hand and a cold light shot towards Pei Zi Yun.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a figure appeared in the electric light. The long halberd flashed and with a single strike, the cold light shattered. Then, a voice could be heard, "Die!"
"Pu!" The light from the halberd sliced through. When it was half an inch away, a small shield suddenly appeared, blocking the attack. The Dao Monarch had already dodged the attack. Unknowingly, a sword had appeared in his hand as he stabbed towards Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun leaped and his entire body flashed. The long halberd landed heavily on the Dao Monarch's body.
"Boom!" Sparks flew. The Dao Monarch had just stood up when he was sent flying backwards, crashing into the wall. There was an obvious dent in his chest.
"Ah, that's impossible. Is this the eighth level?" The Dao Monarch finally reacted and screamed. His face was full of disbelief and his heart was filled with fear.
Firstly, he did not expect Pei Zi Yun to improve so quickly. He remembered that during the Immortal's Crossing, he had only reached the seventh level. Who would have thought that he would be able to reach the eighth level in such a short period of time?
"Even so, this is my Dao Realm. What can you do to me?" The Dao Monarch roared in anger. Grey rain poured down from the sky. A ray of light shone through the grey clouds and shone on the Dao Monarch's body. With a cracking sound, the Dao Monarch's sunken ribs were restored.
Then, with a clang, his entire body seemed to have transformed into a sword as he landed heavily on the ground. "Die!"
"Wind and Thunder Slash!" Before he could stab the Dao Monarch, the halberd's light rippled as a crescent moon shot out. The moment it appeared, it dimmed.
"It's useless. This is my Dao Realm." Before he could finish speaking, the crescent moon was covered in a thin layer of green. It swept past and shattered the sword light. Its momentum did not diminish as it slashed past, causing a thick mist of blood to spurt out.
"Ah!" Although the Dao Monarch dodged in time, he still cried out in pain. Although his body was made of iron, half of his shoulder was bleeding profusely.
"No, how is this possible? Is this Imperial Qi?"
"No, this is the title of a Dao Monarch."
"The Heaven Awakening Emperor actually conferred you the title of Dao Monarch? Why? "The Dao Monarch's face turned pale. He even felt a tinge of fear.
How could Pei Zi Yun allow the Dao Monarch any time to breathe? Just as the Dao Monarch opened his mouth, he felt the hairs on his body stand up. He was shocked. Using his authority, he moved half a foot away.
Just as he moved, the halberd flashed and slashed across his forehead.
It's over!
This was the last thought that flashed through the Dao Lord's mind. With a loud boom, the entire Dao Realm disappeared and he returned to the restaurant. There were a few large holes in the wall and a few customers were lying on the ground. It was a scene of panic.
The Daoist Monarch's body suddenly struggled, but the crown of his head had already been sliced off, and the entire upper half of his head was gone. He opened his mouth and let out a blood-curdling screech, and a large mass of red and white brain matter spurted out. He stopped moving and fell down, and blood slowly flowed down, dyeing the floor red.
"I've finally killed the Dao Monarch."
At this point, everyone was running for their lives. Although he was in the Dao Realm, it was still a mess. Luckily, there were only a few people left. Just as he stepped out of the restaurant, a carriage appeared in the rain.
The carriage driver bowed, "True Sovereign, I am from the Grand Princess's Residence. I am here to bring you there."
"Alright, go on then!" Pei Zi Yun smiled as he got off the carriage and drove off. Actually, the Grand Princess's Residence wasn't that far away. Before long, he had turned into an alley and saw the Grand Princess's Residence. Pei Zi Yun calmed himself down and got off the carriage. He saw that there were three hundred people standing in front of the Grand Princess's Residence. They were all wielding swords and had a murderous aura about them. However, they were already retreating.
Seeing Pei Zi Yun approaching, the general did not speak and led his men away.
"The Grand Princess's Residence is under house arrest as well?" Pei Zi Yun sighed to himself. All of a sudden, the door opened and someone walked in. When he saw Pei Zi Yun, he knelt down and said, "True Sovereign, the Grand Princess asked me to wait for you. I shall come out now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Princess walked over. Pei Zi Yun observed her closely and saw that she was dressed the same as before. It was just that her face was so pale that no one dared to look at her. Her brows were furrowed. There were twelve other serving maids and old women who bowed to her.
The Grand Princess walked out and stood still. She looked haggard. When she saw Pei Zi Yun, she sighed, "Now that I see you, I don't even know what to say. Come in!"
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and followed her in. He walked along the corridor and passed by a pond. He then walked past a pine forest and a lake. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of a bell. The sound of the bell could be heard throughout the entire city. Both of them stopped in their tracks.
The sound of the bell was melodious and deep, reverberating through the rain. Dusk fell as the sound of the bell rang. Both of them were speechless. The country could not go a day without a ruler. Emperor Qi Tai had just passed away, and there was a posthumous edict. All the ministers had rushed to the emperor's tomb to hold the coronation ceremony.
"The Imperial Qi has calmed down again." Pei Zi Yun waited for some time and was about to speak when he exclaimed, "Eh?" He looked down at the ground.
Darkness, Sealed Place
The entire palace was covered in frost and snow. Several tea trees had withered and a pond had dried up. Only the pavilion was in good condition. Above it, three words could be seen, 'Time Pavilion'.
The Dao Monarch groaned, "My doppelganger has fallen?"
"Is Pei Zi Yun that strong? Or is this a plot by the Imperial Court? "Maybe it was because the seal had blocked off all information, but the Dao Monarch could not know the truth.
He was furious. However, after spending a thousand years underground, he had developed a calm and collected personality. After pondering for some time, he took a deep breath, "Forget it. The death of the doppelganger has its own benefits."
"This way, the agreement with the Imperial Court will be cut in half."
"Furthermore, the doppelganger has already restored some of the arrangements on the ground. In addition to the presence of the demon race, the seal has weakened. Even if the doppelganger has fallen, there is still a chance to break the seal."
Just as he was thinking about this, a black aura appeared. The Dao Monarch screamed and mumbled, "What is this? Has my status been split and shifted? "
