After the Thunder Cloud Beast left, Tang Zheng also understood the problem with his helper, Huang Ziyang. Back then, Tian Chanzi did not bring Huang Ziyang out of the capital, but left him at a pass a hundred kilometers north of the capital.
This pass was a place that the military would fight for in ancient times, and only in modern times did it gradually become desolate. However, because that pass had experienced too many wars, countless people had died, and the Yin Qi was dense. Even in broad daylight, the Yin Qi was dense, and there were few people there.
This place just so happened to be Huang Ziyang's blessed land. Huang Ziyang had been turned into a puppet by Tian Chanzi, and the denser the Yin Qi was, the faster his cultivation would increase.
This time, he had been left at that pass for such a long time, so he didn't know how much his strength had grown.
Tian Chanzi reckoned that Tang Zheng lacked helpers, so he sent a letter to him to bring Huang Ziyang out.
"Tomorrow is the final exam. After the exam, we'll go to that pass."
Tang Zheng returned to school to prepare for the final exam, but at this moment, the Yan family welcomed an uninvited guest. Yan Potian personally welcomed them at the entrance, it was extremely grand.
Yan Qishan and Yan Liuyun stood on his left and right, but Yan Qingyi was not present. Normally, she would be cultivating in the Daoist temple.
Li Xiaotian strolled over. Her face was as calm as an ancient well. No one could see through her thoughts.
"Saintess, your presence brings light to my humble abode." Yan Potian greeted him with a smile. Logically speaking, with Li Xiaotian's cultivation, he would not be able to withstand such a huge battle formation from the Yan Clan.
However, she was the Holy Maiden of Li Palace, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would inherit the position of Palace Master of Li Palace in the future. Furthermore, the Yan family had always had a close relationship with Li Palace, so of course they would show the importance they deserved.
Li Xiaotian nodded slightly, but did not say much. The guest and host passed through the layers of courtyards and arrived at the main hall to take their seats.
Li Xiaotian went straight to the point: "Elder Yan, I have something to trouble you with this time."
"Holy Maiden, there's no harm in saying so. Yan family being able to share the burden of the Li Palace is our honor." Yan Potian said amiably.
"Help me kill Tang Zheng." Li Xiaotian said murderously.
The three generations of the Yan family all revealed shocked expressions at the same time. Yan Potian hurriedly restrained the strange expression on his face and asked: "Could it be that this person provoked you, Holy Maiden?"
Li Xiaotian shook his head. "This person will be a big problem in the future. We have to get rid of him before he spreads his wings."
The Yan family had previously heeded Yan Qingyi's suggestion and intended to help Tang Zheng, but they had not expected that the Li Palace would actually make this decision, which was completely contrary to the Yan family's decision.
Yan Qishan and Yan Liuyun's expressions were somewhat unnatural. This time, the Yan family was in a difficult situation.
Yan Potian remained calm and said, "Tang Zheng is no longer the same as before. Chu Chongyang has just been eliminated by him, and his morale is at its peak. I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle."
"Wrong!" It was precisely because of his battle with Chu Chongyang that he was severely injured that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, right now, he is together with the Martial Sect, which is why it is somewhat difficult to handle. "Li Xiaotian retorted.
If the Twelve Palaces had not been completely destroyed, she would not have needed to ask the Yan family for help. At this moment, it was already too late to return to the Li Palace to get reinforcements.
Moreover, if she did not complete this mission, she would definitely be reprimanded by the Asgard Master when she returned. How could she return empty-handed like this?
The relationship between the Yan family and the Li Palace was not shallow. Asking the Yan family for help was giving them a chance. The Yan family would definitely seize this opportunity impatiently and deepen their relationship with the Li Palace.
But unexpectedly, Yan Potian did not immediately agree. Instead, he became silent.
Li Xiaotian looked at him in astonishment, and the atmosphere instantly became strange.
"You don't agree?"
Yan Potian did not comment, and said: "Holy Maiden, since you have no way to deal with him, what can we do?"
This was clearly an excuse, even a fool could hear it.
Yan Qishan turned pale with fright, he did not expect his father to reject Li Xiaotian so firmly. This would definitely harm the relationship between the Yan family and the Li Palace.
"Father …" Yan Qishan impatiently called out, wanting to remind his father.
Yan Qishan purposely glanced at Yan Qishan. Yan Qishan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously kept quiet. Obviously, Yan Potian had already made up his mind. He actually did not hesitate to reject the request of the Li Palace and wholeheartedly protected Tang Zheng.
This was truly a bold move. Yan Qishan fell into a state of panic. He did not know why his father would actually make such a huge bet because of an illusory prophecy in the future.
Li Xiaotian's gaze was like lightning, he saw the father and son's reactions one by one. He was furious in his heart, and asked with a cold face: "Are you purposely avoiding it?"
Yan Potian said with a fake smile: "Holy Maiden's words are too serious, we really don't have the strength to catch him. Actually, I think that dealing with Tang Zheng, the Li Palace is still very easy, why bother with our help, don't you think so?"
"I will tell your attitude to Asgard Mistress. She will judge for herself." Li Xiaotian never expected that he would be rejected here.
Yan Potian sighed and said helplessly, "Our intentions towards the Li Palace will never change. I hope that Asgard Mistress will know our painstaking efforts."
"She will naturally know. Your Yan family is really good, hmph!" Li Xiaotian stood up and walked out.
Yan Qishan immediately followed, and said: "Holy Maiden, I'll send you off."
After the two of them left, Yan Liuyun asked suspiciously: "Grandfather, why did we reject the Li Palace's request?"
"If we don't refuse, are we really going to send someone to kill Tang Zheng?" Yan Potian asked as he looked at him with a burning gaze.
Yan Liuyun's heart trembled, he knew that this was the old man testing him, but he was still unable to see through the old man's thoughts, so he probed: "Grandfather, if we don't deal with Tang Zheng, then we will offend the Li Palace, this might not be a good deal, right?"
"You said that even the Holy Maiden of the Li Palace had to seek help from the outside, and the Yan family rashly rushed forward, what benefits could they possibly gain?" Yan Potian asked.
"This... It is indeed strange. If the Li Palace wants to deal with Tang Zheng, why would they need someone else's help?" Yan Liuyun revealed a puzzled expression.
"So, we have to use our brains and think about it. This matter is not as simple as it seems." Yan Potian's gaze was like a torch as he nodded his head and said.
Yan Liuyun seemed to be deep in thought.
Yan Qishan walked back and asked anxiously: "Father, why did you reject her? Was it really necessary to tie the Yan family and Tang Zheng together? This is offending the Li Palace, not as simple as offending the other families. "
Yan Potian shook his head and said: "You, you are really muddle-headed. How can I be at ease and hand over this huge family to you in the future?"
However, Yan Qishan did not compromise and argued: "Father, in any case, I don't understand this matter. At this time, befriending Tang Zheng is far more dangerous than rejecting the Li Palace."
Yan Potian slapped the chair and shouted: "Short-sighted, let me ask you, what Tang Zheng did, which one of you can do it?"
Yan Qishan and Yan Liuyun looked at each other in dismay, but they were unable to answer. They were indeed unable to do what Tang Zheng had done.
"But after doing all this, he became the target of public criticism. Now, even the Li Palace sees him as a thorn in their side." Yan Qishan reminded.
"Then do you remember what the Holy Maiden said just now? Tang Zheng and the Martial Sect were together. Although the Martial Sect hated cultivators to the bones, they obviously did not plan to deal with Tang Zheng. Furthermore, the intelligence showed that Martial Sect had always been in contact with Tang Zheng. This showed the Martial Sect's attitude towards Tang Zheng. For a cultivator to be able to make the Martial Sect have such an attitude, do you think it's simple? "Yan Potian asked with a powerful voice.
"..." Yan Qishan was speechless. After a long while, he said unwillingly, "But it wasn't easy for us to get on the Li Palace's good side. Now, it seems that all our previous efforts will be ruined."
Yan Potian let out a long sigh, and said: "If you gain something, you will definitely lose something. I have a feeling that Qing Yi's prophecy might really be correct."
Yan Qishan's heart skipped a beat. If that prophecy was true, then Tang Zheng would save tens of thousands of people from water and fire in the future. It was hard to imagine what kind of turmoil would occur in the world.
"In short, pay close attention to the situation in the capital. Last night, even Demonic Beasts appeared. Although the officials have already refuted the rumors, I feel that the day when cultivators truly enter the eyes of the public is not far away." Yan Potian analyzed.
Regarding the strange phenomenon in the sky last night, the officials had released a rumor early in the morning, saying that it was the special effects of a film company shooting a movie and not some ferocious beast.
Furthermore, the video on the internet had been completely deleted. Although it was still a hot topic, the situation had been temporarily under control.
Just as Tang Zheng returned to school, Ye Tianlei's call came, asking about Tang Zheng's situation. Tang Zheng also mentioned the matter of him being betrayed last night. After hearing this, Ye Tianlei was extremely furious, and swore that he would definitely go and settle the score with Ye Tianming.
Regarding this, Tang Zheng did not hold much hope, nor did he expect to be able to do anything to Ye Tianming.
Moreover, Tang Zheng had too many things to do right now, so he did not have the time to deal with him for the time being.
Hearing that Tang Zheng was safe and sound under the King Of Medicine's treatment, Tang Zheng was relieved. However, when he heard that the King Of Medicine was still in the Yeh family, he had an idea and asked Ye Tianlei to tell the King Of Medicine to come to Yenching University for a chat.
He believed that this old man would definitely keep the appointment.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the King Of Medicine found him.
Although the King Of Medicine already knew about Tang Zheng's identity as a cultivator, he did not take it to heart at all. What he cared about was the problems in medicine. As for other disputes, he did not care about them at all.
Therefore, he gladly accepted Tang Zheng's invitation. There was too much medical knowledge on Tang Zheng that he wanted to know. For example, the Life Continuing Pill was a secret that he wanted to know.
"King Of Medicine, I want to ask you for a favor." Tang Zheng said straightforwardly, "I want to sell the Life Continuing Pill."
The Life Continuing Pill was too magical. If Tang Zheng directly sold it to the public, many people would doubt its authenticity.
However, if the King Of Medicine handled this matter, no one would doubt that his authority in this area was much stronger than Tang Zheng's.
Moreover, the King Of Medicine knew too many people who needed this thing and could afford it, so he had to be the middleman.
