Yuan JIngqing left Wu Shangqiu and his wife and followed the connection left by the priests of the Golden Palace. He saw a golden palace floating in the depth of the world. It was not in the four directions, nor was it in Yin and Yang. It was in a gap between heaven and earth.
Those who could stand here, even if they had not cultivated to a certain level, were blessed by heaven and earth.
At this moment, in the Golden Palace, a dozen priests were watching the world.
In their eyes, Wu Shangqiu was crushed into a pile of meat under the siege of countless Evil Suppressing Spirits, while Liu Qiuhua committed suicide. However, in order to prevent the evil spirit from remaining, it was burned away by the Evil Suppressing Spirits. In the end, both husband and wife died without a trace.
In reality, the moment Yuan JIngqing arrived, what they saw was what they wanted to see. It was a possible scenario in the future, but it was not the truth. It was just that they did not know about it.
When the priests saw this result, even though their faces were cold, their eyes were filled with satisfaction.
One of them said hatefully, "This person is finally gone. Such a troublemaker cannot be allowed to live in this world!"
"You are right. Wu Shangqiu and his wife are anomalies. They messed up my plans. Only by getting rid of them can the Golden Palace better protect the world."
Someone suddenly interrupted, "Wu Shangqiu had many secrets. Otherwise, he would not have come up with methods that we do not know about. Unfortunately, with his death, we will never know."
A priest said coldly, "This person still has a son and a daughter. Maybe we can find something useful from them."
When the priests heard this, they all expressed their agreement.
Yuan JIngqing had entered the Golden Palace and walked past everyone. However, no one could see him. Those who walked past him would avoid him and they were not aware of this unusual behavior.
This was natural. As a mighty who had severed his mortal body, unless he was willing, those who were weaker than him would not be able to see him.
He listened to the words of the people here and combined it with his own calculations. He had more or less sorted out the clues and understood what was going on.
The evil spirits in this world and the world happened to be on the opposite side of Yin and Yang. The Yang side was the entire world while the Yin side was all the evil spirits. Normally, the two would fuse together and live in the same world, but they could not see each other.
However, the world would not remain the same. Sometimes, Yin and Yang would collide and stimulate each other. At that time, the baleful aura would overflow and appear in the world of the living. This was also the source of the baleful aura and the baleful ghosts.
Since the day the Golden Palace was built, it had been maintaining the balance between Yin and Yang.
If the Yang Qi was strong, then the Evil Qi would surface to counteract the Yang Qi. If the Yin Qi accumulated too much, then the Evil Qi would be reduced.
It was just that Wu Shangqiu's appearance had greatly strengthened the Yang side.
Within ten years, he had plugged the larger holes one by one. Not only that, but he had also brought with him the Dao of Formations. Every fiendish land that had wreaked havoc would be suppressed by a formation, preventing it from spreading any further. If this were to continue, then given enough time, it was very likely that the fiendish land would completely disappear from the world.
If that were to happen, the two extremes of Yin and Yang would no longer be in balance, and the world would definitely undergo even greater changes. Perhaps this would cause the two sides of Yin and Yang to be separated.
This might be a good thing for the people of the world, but it was bad news for the Golden Palace.
Over the years, there were gradually different voices within the Golden Palace. They believed that the world should not only be a balance between Yin and Yang, but that one side should be strong while the other side was weak. Then, the two sides should take turns.
This kind of opinion had gained the upper hand recently. After doing such a thing, they were no longer people who passively maintained the balance. Instead, they had the power to operate the world. They had changed from servants who served the world to masters of the world.
However, the premise was that everything had to be decided by them, and not by a person like Wu Shangqiu. As such, Wu Shangqiu became a thorn in their side that they had to get rid of.
After understanding all of this, Yuan JIngqing believed that this was not the end of the matter.
When he arrived at this place, he could feel that there was a barrier between him and the world. It blocked his senses and prevented him from probing deeper. As such, he concluded that there was a deeper reason behind this.
At this moment, he stopped in his tracks and his eyes focused on something.
"This is it."
There was an altar placed there, but it was hidden in the depths of the Golden Palace. It was behind the tablets of the deceased masters of worship. In reality, it was enjoying incense offerings with the ancestors of the Golden Palace. Although there were no offerings on the surface, it constantly influenced everyone, causing them to act in the direction that it hinted at, intentionally or unintentionally.
This power could be traced back to its source. Perhaps it was very powerful, but it only appeared in this place. In reality, it was not that powerful. Otherwise, it could directly change everyone's state of mind, and there would be no need to bewitch them.
Yuan JIngqing looked at this thing coldly. Since he was here, he might as well get rid of it.
However, just as he had this thought, the tablet seemed to have sensed it. There was a flash of yellow above, and a ghostly head popped out, staring at him with a fierce gaze.
Yuan Jingqing was completely unfazed by this. He went up and tapped the tablet with his finger. With a rumble, the entire golden palace violently shook, and the ghostly head let out a shrill cry as if it was constantly struggling.
At this moment, Yuan JIngqing also felt a force resisting the invasion of his mana. With a thought, the Qi on his body surged, completely dissolving the resistance. The tablet also crumbled into dust.
"Who is there?"
As if the two sides had collided and revealed the truth, the people of the Golden Palace could see Yuan JIngqing's figure. However, the moment they saw him, they turned into dust without a sound.
If one did not have enough power and looked directly at the Weili, this would be the outcome! Yuan JIngqing did not even have to do anything himself. Their spirits would be destroyed.
However, there were some people in the Golden Palace who did not disappear immediately despite not having a high level of cultivation. However, their life force and lifespan continued to be reduced. They shouted in fear, "Who is it? Who are you?"
There were also some who felt that something was wrong and begged.
Yuan JIngqing turned his gaze. He could see clearly that these people were the priests of the Golden Palace who had worshiped the ghostly god. They had some of the Weili on them, so they did not die.
He was not in the mood to talk. A flying shuttle flew out from the brilliance behind him. With just a flash, golden light flashed in this grand palace. In a split second, it illuminated the inside and outside of the palace. Everyone in the palace, regardless of their cultivation level or background, was turned into ashes in an instant.
He did not look at it as if he had done something insignificant. With a wave of his sleeve, he walked out of the palace step by step. Behind him, the entire Golden Palace collapsed.
This great force that had existed for an unknown number of years and could have continued to exist was now completely destroyed.
Wu Shangqiu and his wife did not wait long before they saw Yuan JIngqing's figure appear in front of them again. His expression and gaze did not change much from when he left. It was as if Just Now, he was just casually walking around.
Wu Shangqiu asked, "Shangzhen?"
Yuan JIngqing said plainly, "The Golden Palace no longer exists in this world."
Wu Shangqiu's heart skipped a beat. This was the Shangzhen who could overturn a world with a wave of his hand. Even the Golden Palace that forced him into a desperate situation could not stop him. At this moment, he deeply felt the power of a Shangzhen almighty.
Just Now, Liu Qiuhua had already found out about the latter's background from Wu Qiuhua. Now that she knew this news, she felt like she was in a dream.
As the Evil Suppressor of this world, the Golden Palace already existed in legends. The people of the world respected it unimaginably. However, even such an existence was destroyed in the hands of her husband's sect in the blink of an eye. It was even to the extent that according to Wu Shangqiu, this person wasn't even the strongest in the sect, and he was only one of the many great figures in the sect. Moreover, behind him was a Founding Ancestor that stood above all techniques. This was something that was difficult for her to imagine.
Yuan JIngqing said, "Wu Shangqiu, this matter has come to an end. You can follow me back to report."
Wu Shangqiu acknowledged and immediately knelt down. He said, "I am a sinner, but I still have a pair of children here. I hope that Your Highness can allow me to make arrangements before I leave."
Yuan JIngqing said, "You are still a disciple of the Qincang. How you deal with your children, whether to bring them away or to keep them, is your own business. I will not ask too much."
Wu Shangqiu's spirit was lifted. How could he not understand what Yuan JIngqing meant? He was allowed to bring his family along. He kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Shangzhen, thank you, Shangzhen."
Yuan JIngqing waved his sleeve. The two of them felt the world around them suddenly change. They went from the dense forest to the snowy mountains. Before they could exclaim in surprise, they heard two shouts.
"Father, mother!"
Wu Shangqiu and his wife turned around and said in surprise, "Zhong'er, Nan'er."
The two children and the little white fox were originally waiting there obediently. When they saw Yuan JIngqing appear with the two of them, they ran over happily.
Wu Shangqiu and his wife each carried their children. Their hearts were filled with joy. When they escaped from Willow Manor, they had already prepared for the worst. They did not think that they would be able to reunite unscathed. Deep in their hearts, they rejoiced and were filled with gratitude towards their sect and Yuan JIngqing.
Yuan JIngqing watched quietly from the side.
In reality, from his point of view, Wu Shangqiu did not commit any major mistakes. He did not report the news to the sect in time. It was not because he was disloyal to the sect, but because his spiritual sense was deceived and his mind was twisted.
Moreover, this twist was not forced. It followed the weakness in one's heart. Not to mention a junior disciple, even if one reached the level of Yuanying, one would not be able to guard against it.
Fortunately, the sect had long predicted that some disciples would be deceived or have their minds twisted. Moreover, this matter in itself explained the problem.
If the disciple did not report back, there would definitely be something wrong with that boundary.
Everything that happened in the past was proof of this.
However, this matter was far from over. Just Now, he was originally prepared to trace it back to the demon god. However, he sensed a trace of danger in advance, so he did not do so.
He pondered and said, "This matter, I can only report to my master when I return."
