Divine Dragon Palace, meeting hall.
The three-legged black glass incense burner emitted faint smoke that spread all over the hall. It emitted an elegant and gentle fragrance that went straight to the heart, and had the ability to calm the mind.
But the higher ups of the Divine Dragon Palace sitting in the hall could not remain calm.
The Three Sages of Fei Yu and the other Deputy Palace Masters all looked calm and collected. But they could not hide the anxiety and uneasiness in the air.
All the higher ups tried their best to look away, avoiding eye contact and communication with others.
Liang Haoyu and Mi Chongshan were like the others, sitting obediently, looking straight ahead. They felt a little guilty, but there was no turning back now, they could only force themselves to remain calm.
Luckily, everyone was uneasy, and no one noticed the two's uneasiness. Only Jian Lingyun could see their fear.
Jian Lingyun laughed coldly to himself, two useless trash. Why didn't he think about it? How could he have poisoned her?
The Spirit Rhinoceros Incense was made from dozens of spirit herbs, it could improve blood circulation, clear the mind, and calm the mind. It was even beneficial to Divine Level Experts. There were absolutely no negative effects!
In reality, the Spirit Rhinoceros Incense was just a catalyst. The beams in the room were made of Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree wood, the Nine Leaf Purple Gold Flower at the window, and the thick earth and gold crystal tiles on the floor, forming a mysterious Heavenly Origin Returning Formation.
The Heavenly Origin Returning Formation guided the subtle essence of the world, nourishing and cleansing the mind like spirit water. This change was extremely small, and it was beneficial to the body.
No matter how sensitive Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen's senses were, they would not notice any problems.
Only when they reached the Eastern Natural Death Platform would the last link be activated. But this link would not cause any harm, it would only activate the accumulated power, and help Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen increase the power of their minds.
Gao Zhengyang's body became a sage, it was unshakable. And his mind was firm, it was not something that could be easily shaken by external forces. Only by slowly guiding through the formation, and adding spirit herbs, could Gao Zhengyang's mind be activated.
This sudden burst of mind power, even Gao Zhengyang could not control it immediately. His mind would definitely show a gap. Combined with the corresponding mind spells, it would be easy to subdue his mind and wipe out his Divine Soul consciousness.
Although Gao Zhengyang deserved to die, his body was extremely strong. After erasing all of his consciousness and soul, his physical body could be used to refine a doppelganger.
As for how effective the formation was, it would depend on what kind of spirit herb Ao Yin used. Jian Lingyun guessed that in order to obtain Gao Zhengyang's complete body, Ao Yin would probably use the best Spirit Herbs to ensure the best effect.
Without Gao Zhengyang, Ao Zhen would not be able to do anything no matter how capable she was. Moreover, the formation would affect her quite a bit. If she lost her mind, she would definitely die even if she had a supreme art or a divine artifact.
When the Divine Dragon Palace was established, Jian Lingyun had already made preparations. As long as the Spirit Rhinoceros Incense was used as a primer, the energy of the formation would be drawn out.
The whole plan was like a spring night rain, moisturizing everything silently. When it was ripe, the fruits could be harvested.
Jian Lingyun was the key to the entire plan. Actually, he did not necessarily have to help Ao Yin. But Ao Zhen throwing herself into Gao Zhengyang's embrace made him realize that he no longer had any chance.
Since he could not obtain it, he might as well destroy it all.
Thinking of this, Jian Lingyun felt a burst of joy in his heart. Unfortunately, these plans could not be said now and could only be kept in his heart. It was a fly in the ointment.
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Ao Zhen and Gao Zhengyang walked in side by side. All the Divine Dragon Palace's upper echelons stood up to welcome them.
"Everyone, sit." After Ao Zhen sat down on the main seat, she stretched out her hand and gestured for everyone to sit down.
Gao Zhengyang sat down on the seat next to Ao Zhen. Opposite him was Jian Lingyun.
Gao Zhengyang looked at Jian Lingyun and smiled meaningfully. The smile made Jian Lingyun's heart tighten. He suppressed his thoughts and also smiled at Gao Zhengyang.
What made Jian Lingyun angry was that Gao Zhengyang did not look at him. He also did not respond to his smile. The almost rude disregard made Jian Lingyun feel even more hatred in his heart.
"There have been many rumors these few days. Everyone in the organization is anxious. So, I gathered everyone here …" Ao Zhen slowly looked around.
As Ao Zhen spoke, she slowly looked around. Under her gaze, some people lowered their heads in awe, some looked concerned, and some avoided her with a guilty conscience. There were all kinds of expressions, and so on.
She could not help but sigh in her heart. The Divine Dragon Palace was established less than ten years ago. Although it was powerful, its foundation was too shallow. Everyone still had their own thoughts. They were not truly united and did not have any firm beliefs.
Regarding this, Ao Zhen also did not have any good ideas. No matter what organization it was, they needed time to settle, to continuously refine and deepen the organization's rules until it permeated into everyone's bones. At least a few generations' worth of education was needed to form a strong cohesive force.
If she was defeated and died this time, the Divine Dragon Palace would immediately fall apart. Thinking of this, Ao Zhen could not help but feel a little disappointed.
She suppressed her fluctuating emotions and said indifferently, "Because of me, I will fight to the death with East Pole Sky's Ao Yin on the Life and Death Platform."
Although the higher-ups of the Divine Dragon Palace had long received the news, they were still shocked to hear it from Ao Zhen herself.
Hua Feihua, who was closest to Ao Zhen, quickly asked, "Then how can we help you?"
Ao Zhen shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with everyone. It's just a private matter between me and Little Goat."
"How can we do that? You are the Hall Master, our highest leader."
Hua Feihua said loudly, "Your matter is the Divine Dragon Palace's matter, and it is everyone's matter. There are billions of members in the organization, and experts are everywhere. Letting you fight alone would be the biggest joke! "
Jian Lingyun also said with a sincere face, "Hall Master, Feihua is right. Your matter is our matter. We will not just stand by and watch. "
After a pause, he said to Yu Yingtong, "Am I right, Hall Master Yu?"
Yu Yingtong of the Three Saints of Flying Feather was like a young child. Her seat was also much higher than the others, and she had been sitting quietly. After hearing Jian Lingyun's words, she nodded slightly and said, "The two Deputy Hall Masters are right. The Hall Master has encountered a difficult problem, and needs us to work together to overcome it. We will definitely support the Hall Master fully. "
The Three Saints of Flying Feather lost their bet to Gao Zhengyang, and were forced to merge the Feather Society into the Divine Dragon Palace. However, Ao Zhen was magnanimous, and did not deprive them of their authority. Instead, she handed the Ice Sea to them to manage.
Yu Yingtong led the original members of the Feather Society, and showed off their abilities. It was equivalent to a branch of the Divine Dragon Palace, and she could make most decisions independently. In the past few years, she tried her best to develop, and her strength increased greatly. Her days were rather comfortable.
From the bottom of her heart, she was willing to continue working with Ao Zhen. Without Ao Zhen, other forces would also covet their benefits, and many things would happen.
However, the Seven Sword Mountain had already sent detailed news, and Yu Yingtong knew that Ao Zhen was most likely going to be in trouble. She had also secretly made preparations. Once Ao Zhen was defeated, she would become independent.
However, before Ao Zhen was defeated, she still had to put on a show.
Ao Zhen was also very clear about this. Among the few Sage level experts, only Hua Feihua was sincere in helping. Yu Yingtong and the other two were perfunctory, while Jian Lingyun had ulterior motives. As for the other higher-ups, their cultivation level was too low. No matter what they were thinking, they were not qualified to participate.
She said with a smile, "I appreciate everyone's kind intentions. However, I won't trouble you with the final battle. It would be the greatest help for everyone to help me look after my home. "
Ao Zhen kept her smile and said seriously, "Many people are worried that something will happen to me, and they feel uneasy. I can understand that. However, colluding with other organizations privately to divide the Divine Dragon Palace is crossing the line. "
Everyone's expression turned solemn, and no one dared to speak recklessly.
Ao Zhen continued, "If I am defeated and die, then everything will be over. Of course, you can do whatever you want. However, if I return safely and find out who is behind all this, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
As soon as she said that, no one dared to speak. The atmosphere in the meeting hall became unusually gloomy.
Gao Zhengyang laughed, "Everyone, don't be nervous. I believe that everyone here is the pillar of the Divine Dragon Palace, and you are all loyal."
"We will never betray the Palace Master, please rest assured, Palace Master."
Yu Yingtong quickly expressed her stance.
Ao Zhen was decisive, broad-minded, and intelligent. She was a capable and charismatic leader. Yu Yingtong thought highly of her and gave her sufficient respect, but she was not afraid of Ao Zhen.
When Ao Zhen said that she wanted to settle the score, Yu Yingtong did not care much. However, when Gao Zhengyang smiled and comforted everyone, she felt chills down her spine, and a deep fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
This man was overbearing and unreasonable, and he had left a huge shadow in her heart.
Yu Yingtong had made up her mind that she would not act recklessly no matter what. She had to get accurate information before making a decision.
With Yu Yingtong taking the lead, the others came to their senses and expressed their attitude of living and dying together with the Divine Dragon Palace.
The originally gloomy meeting hall suddenly became lively.
Ao Zhen found it a little funny. These people were really fearless of authority and not afraid of virtue. They thought that she was easy to talk to, but they were afraid of Gao Zhengyang to death.
If it was someone else, she would have to consider the balance of power. Fortunately, Gao Zhengyang had a special character. Although he was overbearing and flamboyant, he did not like to fight for power. He would not let the people below him think too much and cause chaos.
Ao Zhen also understood that Gao Zhengyang did not care about the wealth and power that the others were after. He only had the pursuit of unlimited power, unlimited life, and the exploration of the world.
For example, power, fame, and beauties were just a game to him. Even love was not too important to him. He was a pure powerhouse.
It was also because of this that Ao Zhen admired and even liked Gao Zhengyang. This kind of liking was not the same as the love between a man and a woman. It was a kind of kindred spirit, and it was a mutual appreciation of each other's intelligence and ability.
From this point of view, they were more like fellow travelers on the road to the peak.
"You are looking at me with such deep affection, are you thinking of me?"
Gao Zhengyang's divine sense transmission interrupted Ao Zhen's wandering thoughts. She actually did not like to say anything intimate, and she did not like to express her inner feelings to others.
But when she thought of the life and death battle tomorrow, she could not help but feel a little emotional. She said to Gao Zhengyang, "If you are going to die tomorrow, what do you want to do today?"
Gao Zhengyang thought for a while and said with a deep face, "You."
