Dao Yi of the Dao Palace had become a legend because he had lived for so long.
Therefore, when his Dao self image emerged from Tian Bo's body and stood on the white jade steps outside the divine palace, Tian Qi trembled.
The Lone Demon Granny appeared out of nowhere. She was about to speak when Dao Yi spoke, startling the Lone Demon Granny so much that she almost fell from the sky.
"Dao Yi of the Dao Palace greets Your Majesty."
Dao Yi bowed respectfully towards the gate of the Divine Palace.
But it was also frightening.
They were frightened by the word "Your Majesty."
"You call him Your Majesty? Is the Dao Palace going to …" The Lone Demon Granny's heart beat wildly. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Then, the heads of the nine great families appeared together. Their expressions were even more interesting than the Lone Demon Granny's.
"Brother Tian Bo, what are you doing?" Wu Ling asked in surprise.
The head of the Tian family, Tian Bo, had a calm expression. He smiled at Wu Ling. "Nothing else. The war is imminent. Senior Dao Yi has come to see His Majesty."
The heads of the other families nodded, but they all knew that this was just an excuse. The real reason was none other than Tianxin.
"The Divine Emperor has decreed that the palace gate shall be opened to welcome Senior Dao Yi!"
The palace gate would not be opened easily. Even if it was opened, it was to make it convenient for the Divine Emperor and the Crown Prince's carriage to enter.
In the memories of the heads of the ten families, opening the palace gate to welcome guests had almost never happened in the history of the Jin Dynasty.
This was enough to show how much importance Shen Shao placed on Dao Yi's projection.
Tian Bo relaxed slightly when he heard this. He glanced at Dao Yi's projection, but found that there was no change in his expression. His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that His Majesty is doing this just to save face? The Dao Palace's bargaining chip is so big that the Divine Emperor will definitely be tempted!
The palace gate opened slowly. The first person that came into view was the Crown Prince, Shen Feng.
"I am Shen Feng of the Jin Dynasty. Greetings, Senior Dao Yi."
Shen Feng smiled and walked out quickly. He bowed to Dao Yi's projection, then stood to the side and gestured with his right hand.
Seeing this, the Family Heads' expressions changed slightly. Shen Feng was the Crown Prince, but not only did he come out personally, but he was also very respectful. Could this be the Divine Emperor's response to Dao Yi addressing him as His Majesty?
"If that's the case, then Tianxin won't die."
"Hmph, if Xie Tian can't even kill Tianxin, the two of us can borrow the Holy Zhi Palace's power to force Xie Tian to stop!"
Wang Lang and Evil Crown communicated in Silence. With a plan in mind, Evil Crown looked better, but Wang Lang still looked like an old man who had lost his son.
After all, his son had really died, and he had died in an extremely miserable and aggrieved manner.
"As expected of His Majesty's bloodline, a dragon among men."
Dao Yi looked at Shen Feng gently and praised him. Then, he walked toward the Divine Palace. As he walked, he praised, "The Divine Palace is supreme. I have only seen it for the first time. The Holy Zhi Palace is ashamed of its inferiority."
When Shen Feng heard this, he felt a trace of joy in his heart, but he said humbly, "The Holy Zhi Palace is transcendent and dominates the cultivation world of the Nine States. Senior Dao Yi is too humble."
"Not at all. In front of the Divine Palace, my words come from the bottom of my heart."
Well, he had not even seen the Divine Emperor and he was already flattering him. The heads of the clans looked at each other and became more and more certain of the speculation in their hearts.
"If that's the case, then Xie Tian is in trouble!"
Hong Ren frowned slightly and looked at the Lone Demon Granny. She found that her great-grandmother also had a solemn expression.
The Divine Palace was huge, comparable to Tiantu City. But Dao Yi walked very calmly, without any impatience. The heads of the clans even saw a trace of worship on his face.
This kind of silent flattery was said by an old monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Although it was disgusting, it was even more shocking.
"Looks like it's time!"
At this moment, everyone finally confirmed the purpose of Dao Yi's visit. Their hearts suddenly sped up.
The group walked straight ahead and stopped outside a large hall.
Dao Yi's expression was humble. He bowed to the great hall and said respectfully, "Dao Yi of the Holy Zhi Palace requests an audience with the Divine Emperor."
"Dao Yi of the Holy Zhi Palace requests an audience with the Divine Emperor!"
"Dao Yi of the Holy Zhi Palace requests an audience with the Divine Emperor!"
A sharp voice traveled along the steps of the great hall and gathered in Dao Yi's ears. No matter how you looked at it, it sounded like a kind of mockery. But his expression did not change at all.
"Please!"
Shenshao said. Dao Yi's expression changed and he stepped up the steps.
After the ninety-ninth stone step, Dao Yi stopped outside the hall. Although he was only a phantom, he still solemnly tidied up his Taoist crown and robe before entering the hall.
He walked into the hall and bowed deeply. Just as he was about to speak, Shenshao's gentle voice sounded, "Dao Yi, you may dispense with the formalities. Give me a seat."
"This is the first time I've come to pay my respects. Dao Yi of the Holy Zhi Palace greets Your Majesty."
Shenshao was slightly stunned. He glanced at the dumbfounded heads of the clans and smiled, "Give me a seat. Also give the heads of the clans a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dao Yi first bowed to Shenshao before sitting down. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to flatter Shenshao when Shenshao frowned slightly. He waved his hand and the phantom of the Ancient Battlefield appeared in the hall.
The boundless golden clouds that covered the entire Upper Realm gathered into five large words. At the same time, a mighty voice resounded throughout the Nine States.
"The Battle of Providence begins!"
Dao Yi felt a sudden sense of urgency and immediately gave up on the idea of flattering. He smiled respectfully and said, "In this trip to the Ancient Battlefield of Providence, Xie Tian has soared to the sky. I congratulate Your Majesty."
Shenshao chuckled, "Senior Dao Yi has come to congratulate me?"
"Your Majesty, I have come to ask a favor of you."
Shenshao's expression froze. Silence, he listened carefully.
"Today, Rakshasa has wreaked havoc and caused the Nine States to suffer. Our palace has tried our best to resist, but because we are small, our achievements are insignificant."
Speaking of this, Dao Yi suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Shenshao.
Seeing this, Shen Feng's heart beat wildly. He was so excited that he almost suffocated.
"When we unite, we are strong; when we are divided, we are weak. Everyone in the world knows this. Our palace has decided," Dao Yi took a deep breath and said word by word, "to merge the palace with the Jin dynasty and serve Your Majesty to expel Rakshasa!"
As soon as he said this, even though they had already guessed it, the heads of the ten families still fell to the ground. Granny Lonely Spirit let out a muffled groan. Of the two old teeth in her mouth, one fell out in shock.
The hall that should have immediately fallen into absolute silence was suddenly filled with the sound of heavy breathing.
This sound of breathing also startled Shen Shao, who had fallen into a state of shock.
Shenshao looked at Shen Feng, who was breathing heavily, and frowned. Then he looked at Dao Yi and asked calmly, "How do you repay the Palace's righteous act?"
"Only one thing," Dao Yi was a little surprised by Shenshao's calmness, but he still said calmly, "Kill Xie Tian."
Another bolt of lightning struck down, and the hall was suddenly thrown into chaos.
Everyone had also guessed that Dao Yi's purpose was only for Tianxin, but they did not expect Dao Yi's appetite to be so big. He actually wanted to use the matter of the Palace merging with the Jin dynasty to kill Xie Tian.
Who was Xie Tian?
Acknowledged by Gu Zhandi as an exceptional genius, an exceptional killer.
He killed the first Taoist of the Palace eight times, chased Tianxin, scared the upper realm geniuses, and forced the five state lords to come to Zhongzhou to plead for mercy.
Even Xie Guan and Wang Lang felt that it was ridiculous. But in the next moment, the two were stunned.
What kind of existence was the Palace?
It transcended the eight holy lands, had countless talented disciples, and was the number one force in the world of cultivation.
It could be said that as long as the Palace merged with the Jin dynasty, the top combat power of the Jin dynasty would instantly double.
If there was no Rakshasa's war of destruction, the Jin dynasty's dream of unifying the Nine States could immediately be realized.
Only then did everyone understand that if the Palace really merged with the Jin dynasty, they really had the right to make such a request.
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone no longer cared about the etiquette between a ruler and a subject. They all looked at Shenshao.
Unifying the Nine States was the wish of the Divine Emperors. In the face of this situation, how would Shenshao choose?
Would he kill Xie Tian, obtain the Palace, and unify the Nine States?
Or would he abandon the Palace and become a fourth-realm soldier?
Shen Shao's bright and deep eyes gradually calmed down, until they were like the abyss. Then, he turned his head and looked at Shen Feng.
"Crown Prince, what do you think?"
