That Yuanying ancestor Shao's expression was the same as usual, but his thoughts fluctuated.
In the past in the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, the son of a concubine mortal who was insignificant like dust, could now order him around and he couldn't do anything about it. This kind of feeling really made him feel extremely stifled.
Even if he knew that Zhu Yi was not what he used to be, and was far from the troubled young man in the past, even if he had done psychological construction early and adjusted his own psychological position, the Yuanying stage grand ancestor still felt that his dao heart was unstable at this time.
Zhu Hongwu's mentality did not change in the slightest when facing Zhu Yi. This was because Zhu Hongwu's current strength still crushed Zhu Yi's personal strength, so he could still hold the upper hand mentally.
This Yuanying ancestor Shao could not do this. As a confidant of Liang Yuan, he clearly knew that Zhu Yi had killed a late Yuanying expert when he was at the late stage of the Golden Elixir. Now that Zhu Yi was already at the middle stage of the Yuanying, there was naturally no need to mention him.
But the more it was like this, the more unresigned feeling rose in the heart of the cultivator surnamed Shao, a feeling of being threatened.
"If I had known earlier, I would have gotten rid of this vile spawn as well!" If it was a few years ago, it would have been impossible for him to have such regretful thoughts. But now, not only did this thought take root and sprout, it even grew into a towering tree, occupying his mind.
Although he had already stabilized his aura as much as possible, when this thought resurfaced, the fluctuations of magic power on the cultivator surnamed Shao's body became slightly chaotic.
"Hm?" With this fluctuation, Zhu Yi's eyelids rolled, light shooting out in all directions, his gaze instantly looking over.
After all, the other was a Yuanying cultivator. He was unable to see through the other's true thoughts, but he could clearly feel the hostility.
Within the hostility, there was even a trace of killing intent.
Under Lin Feng's tutelage, Wang Lin used the Yellow Spring True Water to purify his spirit soul, while Zhu Yi used the Qi of Literary Splendor to light up the Fire of Wisdom, causing his spirit soul to be reborn. They were the two with the strongest spirit, but they were also different.
The strength of Wang Lin's soul lay in its tenacity and impenetrability, whereas the strength of Zhu Yi's soul lay in its incomparable agility. It was like a bright mirror that was untainted by even a speck of dust, and he was able to clearly observe the slightest movement of the enemy.
Liang Yuan also felt it, and his expression changed slightly. Before he could make his next move, Zhu Yi had already moved.
Zhu Yi didn't make any big movements. He only breathed lightly, but this breath instantly stirred up the space in the hall.
The white mist condensed into a solid form, transforming into a fish-scale-shaped cloud, which was three to four acres in radius. The space in the hall where everyone was in was already chaotic, the cloud floating in the hall only took up about half of the space.
On top of this fish-scale-shaped cloud appeared a huge beast that looked like several elephants fused together.
Its body was covered in pitch-black scales, and it had the head of a dragon, the body of an elk, the tail of an ox, and the hooves of a horse.
It was the sacred beast, the Qilin. As soon as the Qilin appeared, a majestic, righteous, and dignified aura of morality spread out, suppressing everyone's expression.
Apart from Liang Yuan himself, everyone else felt that the circulation of their magic power was not smooth.
When they were stared at by the Qilin's large eyes, they immediately felt as if the Qilin had seen through everything in their hearts. Their good and evil thoughts were all exposed, and they had no secrets to speak of.
To the Yuanying stage cultivators, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation, causing them to fly into a rage out of humiliation. However, the Qilin formed from Zhu Yi's magic power was dignified and heavy, faintly containing an incomparably profound and vast power, causing everyone to not dare to act blindly without thinking.
The Qilin was a virtuous beast, and although it didn't specialize in killing, it had boundless majesty and magical powers, and could easily suppress evil and thieves.
The others were only affected by the shockwaves, but the cultivator surnamed Shao was the true target of Zhu Yi's Qilin technique. He immediately felt as if his soul was being suppressed, unable to move.
In his great shock, a clear light flashed above his head and the Yuanying directly left his body, turning into a seven or eight year old child. He shouted in midair, "Open!" As he shouted, the void shook and turned into a small world, but it wasn't used to counterattack Zhu Yi. Instead, it decisively wrapped around his body to protect him.
The surging magic power turned into layers of dark green gas, and the dark green small world wrapped around the cultivator surnamed Shao, wanting to escape into the void.
Zhu Yi's expression didn't change, but his eyes flickered slightly. "Oh? This escape technique is quite exquisite. In the entire world, it can be considered to be at the peak level. It's a pity that you haven't practiced it to perfection, or rather, the inheritance of this escape technique you obtained is incomplete. "
"However, even if you obtained the complete escape technique and cultivated it to the peak, the chance of escaping from my hands is less than 10%."
As he spoke, Zhu Yi's magic power transformed into a qilin claw waved, piercing through the void and grabbing the green light formed by the dark green small world.
A huge force pressed down, and the dark green small world cracked like an egg, looking as if it would shatter at any moment.
Liang Yuan sighed and stood up from his seat. Boundless power spread out, and a huge figure faintly appeared behind him.
Zhu Yi's expression didn't change. He smiled and nodded. "The Grand Emperor's Scripture lives up to its reputation." Although he said that, he didn't relax his grip. The dark green small world under the qilin claw completely shattered, turning into strands of green light that floated in the air.
Liang Yuan didn't really make a move, he didn't even look at Zhu Yi. Instead, he said to the cultivator surnamed Shao who was in imminent danger under the qilin claw: "Go and bring him over, a blood reunion is also a joyous matter."
The cultivator surnamed Shao smiled bitterly and nodded. With a thought from Zhu Yi, the qilin claw slapped his Yuanying back into his body.
"It's naturally for the best that Fellow Liang Yuan has such thoughts." Zhu Yi still sat on the chair without moving. The qilin and fish scale cloud formed by his magic power disappeared. The space in the hall also returned to normal.
His gaze landed on that cultivator surnamed Shao at this time, "Not mentioning that you have killing intent towards me, that thought faintly reveals a feeling of already knowing me. Moreover, it even carries a bit of contempt. This kind of emotional change, you should have already known of my existence when I was still living in the House of the Marquis of Xuanji before I became your disciple."
"Who are you?"
After a moment of silence, the cultivator surnamed Shao straightened his back and slowly said: "East Heaven Gate, Shao Peng, greets Xuanyi True Lord."
Zhu Yi nodded his head: "Surnamed Shao, so that's how it is. Madam Shao may be a mortal but she is indeed from a cultivator family. This means that she is also not a simple mortal, she should be hiding some secrets."
He suddenly smiled: "But there's no difference. In the future when I return to the House of the Marquis, it's the same."
Shao Peng was expressionless and didn't speak. After bowing towards Crown Prince Liang Yuan, he disappeared into the void.
This time Zhu Yi didn't stop him because Shao Peng clearly showed that he was going to bring Xu Miaoying over.
Before Zhu Yi's words and actions all clearly expressed one meaning. Either bring Xu Miaoying over or you, Shao Peng, leave your own life behind.
If he ran now, it's the same as trapping his master Crown Prince Liang Yuan here. Then he wouldn't be able to stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty anymore.
How could Shao Peng do this for Xu Miaoying?
Seeing this scene, Xu Yunsheng's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He couldn't help but feel that it was funny that he had thought so much before. After all these years of living together, he already knew what kind of person his master was.
There was no need for a slow plan, no need for a secret rescue, no need for careful probing. It was just a matter of showing up at the door to ask for the person. It was up to you to see if you dared to admit it, dare to stop me, and dare to threaten me?
This was only because he wanted to protect Xu Yunsheng's own reputation. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a visit, but a fight.
Don't tell me that the matter doesn't exist, don't tell me that she's already gone, and don't even think about using her to threaten me.
I'm in the right in this matter, so I'll come looking for you openly. There's no need to beat around the bush. Everything will be done according to reason. It's just that simple.
Liang Yuan and Shao Peng could only pinch their noses and accept it.
It wasn't the first time that the Great Zhou had planted spies. They played a huge role, but there were naturally many times when they were exposed. Once the spy was exposed, he would naturally have to bear the wrath of the other party. Even if he wasn't executed due to the Great Zhou Dynasty's strength, he would definitely have his cultivation crippled and expelled.
Such a spy had the Great Zhou Dynasty on him. Even if he wanted to break free from the Great Zhou Dynasty's control, he wouldn't be able to do so.
However, when had he ever seen someone like Xuanmen Tianzong who didn't play by the rules? After discovering the spy, he actually stood up for the spy and asked for his family members that were being held hostage.
The Great Zhou Dynasty didn't even pursue the spy, so the spy directly became one of their own. Now that it was Xuanmen Tianzong's disciple whose family members were being threatened, it became fair and aboveboard for him to ask for them.
His reason was firm, and he had great strength as his backing. Naturally, he would be successful in every endeavor.
At this time, Xu Yunsheng sincerely felt that it was a blessing to have an incomparably powerful sect behind him. To an individual, the sect could stand up for him in matters that seemed impossible.
These past few years, the disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong felt more and more strongly. It also made their sense of belonging to the sect stronger and stronger.
Because of Xu Yunsheng's personal experience, this feeling was especially profound to him. He, who had always been calm and collected, actually felt a little sore at this moment.
At this moment, Liang Yuan's expression was calm. To him, it wasn't that embarrassing. It was just a spy who betrayed them. It was just that the resources he had wasted on Xu Yunsheng were a little wasted.
If Shao Peng hadn't seen Zhu Yi and couldn't control his emotions, the incident just now wouldn't have happened.
There was no point in keeping a hostage who no longer had any value. Handing him over was handing him over. This round was his loss, and he could just plot in the next round. There was no need to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place.
After the storm of the instability of the position of crown prince, Liang Yuan's temperament had indeed been reborn.
"Today's matter is just a small matter. There's no need to argue too much. The appearance of the Ying Sea's Three Mountains is a big matter. Father and the Grand Preceptor have already made preparations. If Xuanmen Tianzong were to bump into them now, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
After the Kunlun Dharma Assembly, Liang Yuan, who had returned to Tianjing City and met Liang Pan, knew many things that he didn't know before. At this moment, he was calm and at ease.
Zhu Yi sat in the hall with a normal expression. He chatted cheerfully with Liang Yuan as if the previous incident had never happened.
However, as he chatted with Liang Yuan, Zhu Yi was also thinking, East Heavenly Gate? I've never heard of this sect. But looking at the name, could it be related to the Heavenly Gate that was destroyed in ancient times? East Heavenly Gate is located in the extreme east. Is the Heavenly Gate revived?
Extreme east. That means it's on the eastern sea. From the looks of it, we should encounter it in this trip to the East Sea.
Zhu Yi smiled slightly. "Very good. Before we officially head to the Marquis's residence, let's cut off some of the Marquis's wings first."
