"Jade trees and jade flowers pile up snow. The night was quiet and heavy, the light was misty, and the moon was cold. Between heaven and earth, the rosy silver glow illuminates … "
Amidst the melodious music, a group of beautiful women in white dresses danced and sang in unison.
They were all beautiful, and their voices were sweet and gentle. The white dresses had many openings on the neckline, waist, legs, and back. Their soft skin could be faintly seen.
The women were beautiful but not glamorous. They sang and danced under the silver moon like a group of fairies.
This poem was written by Gao Zhengyang when he was admiring pear blossoms. It was actually copied from Qiu Jichu's poem. But it had to be said that this poem had a very high style and had a fairy-like aura.
It was performed by a group of young and beautiful women with snow-white skin, and it had the kind of bright and noble aura and artistic conception of a fairy.
The most amazing thing was that this waterside pavilion was built near the water. The Spirit Origin Lake in the distance was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the silver moon. The water and moon blended together, making the waterside pavilion look like a fairyland.
Gao Zhengyang had participated in many banquets, including those organized by the Sixth and Ninth Princes. But this banquet was of the highest standard and standard.
It was said that these dancers were all at the fourth rank and above. Only then could they be as light as feathers and dance like fairies.
Moreover, it could be seen that these dancers had been trained for a long time. Their singing and dancing were of extremely high standards.
Even the chiefs of the Eastern Wasteland's ten tribes were only rank four! Looking at these rank four beauties, one could imagine how extravagant this dance was.
The other furnishings, such as tables and chairs, utensils, food, and wine, were all exquisite and had their origins.
Although the banquet was not luxurious at all, it was filled with the deep foundation and grandeur of the ten-thousand-year-old royal family.
Gao Zhengyang was quite wealthy and had seen the world, but he was also shocked by Princess Yuzhen's generosity.
"Venerable Master's poem, 'Without Vulgarity', is noble and unsullied. It is truly a wonderful poem."
Princess Yuzhen raised the three-legged bronze wine goblet and raised it at Gao Zhengyang. "Cheers."
Princess Yuzhen was still wearing a blood-red dress that reached her chest. The hem of her dress was extremely long, revealing a large patch of snow-colored skin on her chest. The style was rather bold. It was just that the long dress was covered with a layer of red chiffon, faintly discernible yet mysterious and sexy.
He raised his glass and invited them to drink. He was generous and elegant.
Gao Zhengyang had seen many beauties, but Princess Yuzhen was undoubtedly one of the best.
Yue Qingxue and Yue Qingyu were both extremely talented, but they were still too inexperienced. This included Liu Qingge. He had seen a beauty from the Heavenly Fox Race in the Divine Martial Arena. She was quite charming. However, she lacked Princess Yuzhen's dignified elegance.
The current Princess Yuzhen's body was beautiful, youthful, and full of vigor. She had also matured over time.
In terms of mentality, Gao Zhengyang was not younger than Princess Yuzhen. Moreover, he had two lifetimes of experience, so he was able to appreciate Princess Yuzhen's unique charm.
Gao Zhengyang raised his wine goblet and drank it in one gulp after gesturing to Princess Yuzhen from afar.
The amber-like Golden Lord Wine contained many kinds of spirit herbs. After being brewed and processed by a master, it had been stored in a cellar for dozens of years, so its taste was completely restrained. When it first entered the mouth, it was only slightly sweet. However, when it entered the stomach, the wine's mellow fragrance gradually took effect. It was like a prairie fire, and in the end, his entire body felt like it was on fire.
Gao Zhengyang's body was strong. After a cup entered his stomach, his body heated up slightly, and his pores were opened by the wine's power. When the wine's power was completely digested, his entire body felt indescribably comfortable.
Shi Tong, who was sitting below Princess Yuzhen, widened her eyes. She knew that the Golden Lord Wine's power was extremely strong. Even a heaven-ranked expert might not be able to withstand it for the first time. She had wanted to see how Gao Zhengyang would make a fool of himself. However, to her disappointment, Gao Zhengyang's face did not even turn red.
"Good wine." Gao Zhengyang slowly put down the wine goblet and praised sincerely.
It was indeed good wine. In terms of medicinal power, that cup of wine was equivalent to a sixth-grade spirit herb. More importantly, the wine's power could be released on its own. There was no need to deliberately refine it.
After drinking that cup of wine, Gao Zhengyang's elemental qi had increased by at least five percent. The effect was extremely good.
"Life should be enjoyed to the fullest. Don't let the golden goblet face the moon emptily. Venerable Wukong's poem talks about the happiness of life … "
Princess Yuzhen smiled and said, "Since it's good wine, of course we should enjoy it to the fullest. Venerable One, please. "
As she spoke, Princess Yuzhen raised her wine goblet again. Gao Zhengyang smiled and raised his cup as well.
Just like that, after drinking three cups in a row, Princess Yuzhen's white jade-like face revealed a tinge of red. It also made her look more charming.
The Golden Lord Wine's power was pure and long-lasting, and the aftereffects were even stronger. After drinking three cups in a row, the continuous power of the wine was like a great river's tide, surging wave after wave. Even with Princess Yuzhen's cultivation, she was still slightly tipsy from the pure power of the wine without deliberately circulating her magic power.
On the other hand, Gao Zhengyang's body was tyrannical. After drinking three cups of wine, his Qi and blood circulated, and his expression became calmer.
Shi Tong found it strange. She felt that Gao Zhengyang wasn't even at the Heaven Realm. Even if he wasn't drunk, he should be dizzy and confused.
"Monk, let's drink a cup too." Shi Tong did not give Gao Zhengyang a chance to catch his breath and raised her cup.
With her status as a princess, speaking like that was rude and lowered her status. However, she was still young, and her actions had always been unscrupulous. Moreover, Yuzhen doted on her, so no one dared to stop her.
Gao Zhengyang understood the little girl's thoughts and raised his cup with a faint smile.
Shi Tong was somewhat displeased by Gao Zhengyang's smile, so she followed Gao Zhengyang and drank three cups in a row.
"Monk, you can drink quite a lot …" After drinking four cups of wine, Shi Tong's little face was as red as an apple. The pure power of the wine made her eyes a little blurred.
She raised her cup and wanted to compete with Gao Zhengyang in drinking. Yuzhen could not stand it anymore. "Tong Er, it's already late. Go and rest."
Shi Tong was very unconvinced. She glared at Gao Zhengyang and said, "I'm not leaving. I have to get this baldy drunk!"
She wanted to stand up as she spoke, but her legs went soft and she almost fell on the table.
The maids at the side were quick and hurried over to support Shi Tong.
"Send Princess Yun Tong back to rest." Princess Yuzhen ordered.
Although Shi Tong was a little unwilling, she was so drunk that her limbs were weak. She could not resist being supported by the two handmaidens. However, she was still muttering, "I can't accept this, I can't accept this. This baldy is so dumb, how could I lose …"
When Shi Tong was far away, Princess Yuzhen said indifferently, "She has always been pampered. Venerable One, please don't blame her."
"I wouldn't dare." Gao Zhengyang was not too pleased with this naughty girl, but he would not argue with her. Naturally, he would not say anything in front of Princess Yuzhen.
At this moment, the music and dance stopped. A group of female dancers bowed to Princess Yuzhen and Gao Zhengyang. The night breeze blew over from the water's surface. The sleeves of the quiet beauties fluttered as if they wanted to ride the wind.
Gao Zhengyang's eyes revealed a look of admiration. This wind, this moon, this water, and this person were all exquisite. They were even more intoxicating than the Golden Gentleman Wine.
Princess Yuzhen noticed Gao Zhengyang's gaze and was moved. She smiled and said, "Venerable One, how was their singing and dancing?"
"They sang and danced as if they were in paradise." Gao Zhengyang praised.
"They were taught by palace masters since they were young. Not only are they proficient in singing and dancing, they are also proficient in the four arts, cooking, and needlework. All of them are virgins with clean backgrounds. Venerable One, since you like them, you can choose two of them to grind ink and serve tea. "
Princess Yuzhen said casually. However, the word 'grind ink' had a different meaning. It seemed to be teasing, but it also seemed to be mocking.
Gao Zhengyang did not know what Princess Yuzhen meant. However, it was hard to reject the benefits of having two personal beauties serving him. He could do anything he wanted.
Thinking back to when he was in the Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range, the Rabbit people had also taken the initiative to give him a beautiful maid. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to give them to Yue Qingxue.
Gao Zhengyang liked it in his heart, but he had too many secrets and too many things. He could not allow Princess Yuzhen to send two scouts over. Furthermore, there was no need to drag unrelated girls into this.
Gao Zhengyang's gaze swept across the ladies before he said seriously, "Amitabha. This poor monk is wholeheartedly devoted to Buddha and does not dare to be distracted. Your Highness, please do not take offense. "
Princess Yuzhen was a little surprised. "Venerable One, didn't you say that only great heroes can show their true colors? True scholars are naturally distinguished. Venerable One is elegant and talented, there is no need to be restrained. "
"There are things that one should do and things that one should not do." Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "There are some things in this world that one might think about but not do. There are some things that one might not think about but have no choice but to do. "
Princess Yuzhen thought for a moment and praised, "Venerable One's knowledge is extraordinary. I admire you."
Princess Yuzhen waved her hand. "All of you can leave."
Many dancers, maids, and musicians left in a line. The whole process was silent and orderly.
In the blink of an eye, only Princess Yuzhen and Gao Zhengyang were left in the waterside pavilion.
Gao Zhengyang also knew that the banquet was finally about to enter the main topic.
"Royal Brother had a misunderstanding with Grandmaster Wu Xiang in the early years. Since then, they have drifted further and further apart. His hatred for Buddhism has also penetrated deep into his bones."
The moment Princess Yuzhen brought up the topic of Emperor Shi Potian, the topic became heavy.
Gao Zhengyang did not speak. There was no need for him to speak at this time.
"I have no other views on Buddhism and respect Grandmaster Wu Xiang very much. During this ten thousand year calamity, the human race should be even more united. We should not be entangled in small matters. But … "
Princess Yuzhen paused and said solemnly, "Buddhism should not interfere in the affairs of the imperial family. Especially the successor to the throne, that is our family affair. Do you understand? "
The words' do you understand? 'were like three invisible blades that pierced straight into Gao Zhengyang's mind.
Princess Yuzhen did not activate her power. She only spoke in a solemn tone. That powerful aura was projected into Gao Zhengyang's Divine Palace, creating an enormous pressure on him.
It was like a sunny day suddenly being covered by dark clouds, howling winds, and rumbling thunder. Princess Yuzhen's emotional changes were ten times more intense, a hundred times more intense.
It was only at this moment that the First Princess of the Empire revealed the aura of an expert who stood above the peak.
Helping the Ninth Prince Shi Zhongyue was actually only a plan, or rather, a line. But before the matter had even begun, the other party's reaction was already so intense. This exceeded Gao Zhengyang's expectations.
At this time, Gao Zhengyang also understood what Hui Ming had been laughing about. They had already expected Princess Yuzhen's attitude, but they had deliberately not said it to teach him a lesson. They had even said something about establishing contact with Princess Yuzhen.
With such an unyielding attitude, how could they establish contact!?
Unless he slept with Yuzhen. This was the only way Gao Zhengyang could think of to contact her. Yuzhen rather admired him, and a night of love was not a dream.
Princess Yuzhen was a supreme-grade beauty with great charm. Unfortunately, Gao Zhengyang had a pure Yang body and did not wish to give it away so easily.
Gao Zhengyang fell silent and shook his head slightly. "Your Highness thinks too highly of This Penniless Monk."
The Buddhists had the intention of supporting the Ninth Prince, but given the current situation, they could not contribute much. They could only use Gao Zhengyang to contact him and wait to see how the situation developed.
Even so, they had incurred a formal interrogation from Princess Yuzhen. There would definitely not be any further developments in the future.
Gao Zhengyang did not deny Princess Yuzhen's accusation. He only put his weight on display and told the other party that he was only a rank 6 warrior. The other party's reaction was too huge. There was no need at all.
Princess Yuzhen smiled sweetly. "Venerable One's wisdom is as deep as the sea. How can you underestimate him?"
"This Penniless Monk is foolish and does not understand your schemes. Your Highness is overpraising me. "Gao Zhengyang spoke the truth. He was a scheming person, but he was too lazy to use his brain. He liked to use his hands for everything.
Others might think that he was intelligent, but it was actually an illusion brought about by those poems.
"This Penniless Monk already understands Your Highness's intentions. I will not come into contact with the Ninth Prince in the future. Your Highness, please rest assured. "
Gao Zhengyang stood up and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. "It's getting late. Your Highness, please rest early. This Penniless Monk will take his leave."
It was unnecessary to say anything when they did not see eye to eye. Since Princess Yuzhen did not take him seriously, he did not want to continue looking at her.
Just as Princess Yuzhen was about to speak, a beam of bloody light suddenly rose from the distant horizon.
The dark red bloody light was like a smoke signal. It also seemed like a huge pillar formed by countless demons. It stretched across the night sky. It was dazzling and emitted an endless amount of demonic qi.
Gao Zhengyang's heart turned slightly cold. The dark red demonic qi made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He narrowed his eyes and adjusted the structure of his eyes. He continuously drew the red light closer.
Upon closer inspection, the distorted red light that soared into the sky was actually formed by three huge faces. The faces' expressions kept changing. They could be laughing, crying, or angry.
It should be the Martial Soul of a top expert. It had triggered a change in the Essence Qi, which was why it could transmit this phenomenon thousands of miles away.
Because the distance was too far, it looked like a pillar of light that soared into the sky.
According to Gao Zhengyang's estimation, the Tianyue Demon Sealing Array should have been activated long ago. It was truly remarkable that the other party could be suppressed by the Essence Qi. The evil and demonic qi was so strong that it was definitely a Demon expert.
Gao Zhengyang had fought in the Demon World before and was extremely familiar with the aura of the Demon Race. With a little judgment, he discerned the other party's origins.
"Tianyue Capital actually has a Three-Headed Demon King! I actually caught such a big one with a net! " Yuzhen was also somewhat surprised. She warned Gao Zhengyang, "Tianyue Capital will be a little chaotic tonight. Venerable One, stay on the island and don't move."
As she spoke, Princess Yuzhen flicked her sleeves and her person stepped into the void. The spatial ripples in the void were still fluctuating. Princess Yuzhen was already nowhere to be seen.
Gao Zhengyang laughed in spite of himself. Tianyue Capital actually hid a rank nine Demon Race expert. It was probably something that nobody expected. This was going to be fun.
If it were other human powerhouses, this matter actually did not count for much. At most, they would just reveal their identity and withdraw from Tianyue Capital.
But the Demon Race was different. Both sides were mortal enemies. There was nothing to talk about. Furthermore, the Demon Race's identity was already exposed. Everyone was watching. Shi Potian could not open his mouth even if he wanted to talk.
That rank nine Demon Race was also considered unlucky. He was actually sealed by the Tianyue Demon Sealing Array. This time, he would probably not be able to escape this calamity.
Gao Zhengyang very much wanted to go over and watch the show. He had not seen a battle between rank nine powerhouses. However, he did not have Princess Yuzhen's ability to cross the void and arrive at the battlefield with a raise of her foot.
From this aspect, Sorcerers and Warlocks were superior to Martial Artists. This was especially true for the top powerhouses. This difference would be even greater.
Of course, the powerful individual combat strength of Martial Artists was also very difficult for Sorcerers and Warlocks to compare.
Gao Zhengyang leisurely picked up the wine flask and poured himself a cup of wine. He could not go to the battlefield, so it was pretty good to sit here and watch the show from afar.
As the cup of wine entered his stomach, his body heated up again. The dark red demonic qi in the distance, however, dimmed. A giant black mountain had appeared in the sky at some point, suppressing the dark red demonic qi.
"Judging from the aura of that attack, could it be Shi Potian …" Gao Zhengyang did not recognize that mountain-like martial soul, but he could sense the heavy and majestic aura within.
Tianyue Capital was naturally a gathering of experts, but there were probably only a few with such an aura.
This was Tianyue Capital, and Shi Potian was firmly in an invincible position. Coupled with the Tianyue Demon Sealing Formation, this was a sure-win battle. It was normal for him to come out to make a name for himself.
Just as Gao Zhengyang was thinking this, he suddenly felt a trace of alarm. "Wait, something happened somewhere. Needless to say, Hui Ming can't be in trouble. If something really happened, there would definitely be a commotion. "
"It's very likely that he's practicing Terpsichore." Gao Zhengyang thought of the only possibility.
Gao Zhengyang was also a little anxious. He had already told Lian Jinghong, so how could there still be a problem?
The Yuzhen Garden was a thousand miles away from the Dragon Gate Teahouse outside Seventh City. With such a distance, he could not help even if he wanted to.
Although Gao Zhengyang was anxious, he was very calm. He used his movement technique to leave the Yuzhen Garden and plunged into the Spirit Origin Lake.
The Spirit Origin Lake had a circumference of a few hundred miles and was thousands of feet deep. After entering the water and sinking to the bottom, Gao Zhengyang did not discover anyone chasing after him. He closed his eyes in relief.
Since obtaining the Divine Martial Seal, he had also used the power of the Divine Martial Seal in the blink of an eye. Now, he could only wait and see if he could enter Gu Tianyue's arena through the Divine Martial Seal.
With the Rank 3 title, the speed of opening the Divine Martial Seal was also a lot faster.
After waiting for a while, the Divine Martial Seal was completely activated, and in Gao Zhengyang's Divine Palace, there was an additional door made of a wonderful blue light.
Gao Zhengyang knew that after entering this door, he could directly enter the Divine Martial Arena.
With a move of his Spiritual Sense, he opened the light door.
The surrounding world silently rotated and shattered, and in a flash, Gao Zhengyang appeared on a huge stone arena.
Through the golden light, he could see an extremely tall figure on the opposite side. With a glance, Gao Zhengyang could see that the other party was not from the Human Race.
At this time, he was not in the mood to fight, and once again opened the Divine Martial Seal. Sure enough, he found two light doors inside. One was blue, and the other was yellow.
Gao Zhengyang estimated that the blue light door should lead him back to his original place, while the yellow one was likely to lead him to Gu Tianyue's arena.
Time was tight, so Gao Zhengyang did not pay attention to the other party's title. He only saw that the other party was a tall Ox Demon with two horns.
After the Ox Demon saw Gao Zhengyang, he grinned. However, before his smile could fully bloom, a cold star had already enlarged in his eyes.
The Ox Demon powerhouse was shocked, and hurriedly waved his twin axes. With a loud bang, the Ox Demon and his twin axes shattered at the same time.
Gao Zhengyang withdrew his Dragon King Halberd, and with a surge of his Spiritual Sense, he entered the yellow light door.
When he appeared, Gao Zhengyang arrived at the familiar Gu Tianyue's arena.
On the opposite side, Lian Jinghong was looking at him with a pleasantly surprised expression. However, his face was covered in blood, making Lian Jinghong look extremely miserable.
There's movement. "
"It's very likely that he's practicing Graceful Feats." Gao Zhengyang thought of the only possibility.
Gao Zhengyang was also somewhat anxious. He had already told Lian Jinghong, so how could there still be a problem?
The Yuzhen Garden was thousands of miles away from the Dragon Gate Teahouse outside Seventh City. With such a distance, he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
Although Gao Zhengyang was anxious, he was very calm. He used his qinggong to leave the Yuzhen Garden and plunged into the Spirit Origin Lake.
The Spirit Origin Lake had a radius of several hundred miles and was thousands of feet deep. After entering the water and sinking to the bottom, Gao Zhengyang did not discover anyone chasing after him. He closed his eyes in relief.
Ever since he obtained the Divine Martial Seal, he had also used the power of the Divine Martial Seal to create space in the blink of an eye. Now, he could only wait and see if he could use the Divine Martial Seal to enter Gu Tianyue's arena.
With the third rank title, the speed at which he activated the Divine Martial Seal had increased significantly.
After a while, the Divine Martial Seal was completely activated, and in Gao Zhengyang's Divine Palace, there was an additional door made of a mysterious blue light.
Gao Zhengyang knew that after entering this door, he could directly enter the Divine Martial Arena.
With a move of his Divine Sense, he opened the light door.
The surrounding world silently rotated and shattered. In a flash, Gao Zhengyang appeared on a huge stone arena.
Separated by the golden light, he could see an extremely tall figure in front of him. With a glance, Gao Zhengyang could see that the other party was not from the Human Race.
At this time, he was not in the mood to fight. Once again, he opened the Divine Martial Seal. Sure enough, he found two light doors inside. One was blue, and the other was yellow.
Gao Zhengyang estimated that the blue light door should lead him back to the original place, while the yellow one was likely to lead him to Gu Tianyue's arena.
Time was tight, so Gao Zhengyang did not pay attention to the other party's title. He only saw that the other party was a tall Ox Demon with two horns.
After the Ox Demon saw Gao Zhengyang, he grinned. However, before his smile could fully bloom, a cold star had already enlarged in his eyes.
The Ox Demon powerhouse was shocked and hurriedly brandished his twin axes. With a loud bang, the Ox Demon and the twin axes in his hands broke at the same time.
Gao Zhengyang put away the Dragon King Halberd, and with a surge of his Divine Sense, he entered the yellow light door.
When he appeared, Gao Zhengyang arrived at the familiar Gu Tianyue's arena.
