The few people in the hall exchanged glances. Shi Wenguang frowned and said, "What is he doing here?"
"Uh! Grand Preceptor, this is a forbidden area … "Before Shi Youtian could finish his sentence, he heard another person snort coldly. Following that, Shi Youtian's pleading voice could be heard." Grand Preceptor, Grand Preceptor … "
Shi Wenguang looked at Yue Qianchou. Seeing that the latter nodded, he shouted, "Youtian, let him in."
At the same time, Yue Qianchou said to Guan Yu, "Yunchang, step aside." After saying that, he sent him back to Utopia. The Shi father and son, who were watching the door, did not notice Guan Yu's sudden disappearance.
Shi Youtian accompanied an old man with a sword on his back in fear and trepidation. The latter walked past them arrogantly and arrived at the top of the hall. He then turned around to size them up. Yue Qianchou, who was dressed like a servant, did not attract his attention. His gaze landed on Shi Xiaotian and paused. He said with slight surprise, "General Shi, this must be the third young master!"
He could clearly see through Shi Xiaotian's cultivation, but he could not see through Yue Qianchou.
"That's right!" Shi Wenguang did not hold back. With Yue Qianchou here, he more or less had some confidence. Although he did not know how powerful Yue Qianchou was, he could tell from the itinerant cultivators he knew that Yue Qianchou should be someone important in the cultivation world. His abilities should not be too bad. Unbeknownst to him, Yue Qianchou's cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Core Formation realm. It was far inferior to the Grand Preceptor's early stage Nascent Soul cultivation.
"Youtian, leave us first." Shi Wenguang seemed to sense that the Grand Preceptor had come with ill intentions. He first ordered the civil official's son, who could not be of much help, to leave.
The Grand Preceptor looked at Shi Xiaotian and stroked his beard. "I didn't expect the third young master of the general's residence to be at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. This is really surprising. May I know which sect you are from? " He had to ask clearly. He was here on a mission. It would not be good if he offended some powerful sect.
"My son is just a rogue cultivator. He doesn't belong to any sect." Shi Wenguang naturally wouldn't say that his son was Aung Kwang-tsung's son. Even if he said it now, it would be useless. Aung Kwang-tsung's family had already been exterminated. It would be shameful to say it. Moreover, his son had escaped and returned. He cupped his fists and said, "Imperial Preceptor, what brings you here so late at night?"
Hearing that he was just a rogue cultivator, the State Preceptor's attitude became a little more arrogant. He looked at Shi Wenguang with an expressionless face and said, "His Majesty has a message for me to pass on to you. His Majesty said that there are people who are denouncing General for raising troops for self-importance. Initially, I did not want to pay attention to them. However, the denouncing has been incessant these few days and it seems to be getting more and more intense. I am deeply disturbed by it. On second thought, for the peace of the imperial court and your reputation, it might not be a bad thing for you to hand over your military power. So I sent the Imperial Advisor to persuade you not to disappoint me. "
"General Shi, I have conveyed His Majesty's decree. What do you think? His Majesty is still waiting for me to report back!" The State Preceptor stared at Shi Wenguang and said coldly.
Shi Wenguang glanced at Yue Qianchou and sneered, "I don't know what wrong I have done that His Majesty wants to take away my military power! What if I am not willing to hand it over? "
The State Preceptor said with a smile, "His Majesty also said that General has worked hard for many years and has made great contributions. It is better for you to return from the border early to rest. If General really wants to disobey my good intentions, the State Preceptor can handle it according to the circumstances."
Shi Wenguang glared at him and a murderous aura rose. He said in a deep voice, "How does the State Preceptor intend to handle it according to the circumstances?"
The State Preceptor laughed sinisterly, "General Shi, since the words have been spoken, I will tell you clearly. Either you take the initiative to resign from His Majesty during the morning assembly tomorrow, or I will execute you, the traitor who disobeyed His Majesty's orders, right now. You can choose between the two. General Shi, I believe you are aware of my methods. Don't count on luck. "
"Hehe! I am dying of laughter. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey acts as the king. Since when did Supporting Immortal Island have such an arrogant person? He is even more arrogant than Feng Xiangtian. "Yue Qianchou no longer had the appearance of a servant with his head lowered. He chuckled with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Yue Qianchou spoke, Shi Wenguang's heart that was hanging in the balance was at ease. He cupped his hands at him and said, "Mister, how do you think I should reply to the State Preceptor?"
The State Preceptor was looking at the servant in front of him in shock. This person actually knew about Supporting Immortal Island and Sect Master Feng Xiangtian? Yue Qianchou stared at him coldly and put on a fake smile. "What bullsh * t State Preceptor? Reply my ass!"
"Who exactly are you?" The State Preceptor's tone was slightly flustered. At first, he thought that the other party was an ordinary person. Only now did he realize that it was because he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation.
He was originally a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator of Supporting Immortal Island. On the path of cultivation, there was no hope for him to improve, so he came to the secular world to be the State Preceptor. This State Preceptor might seem impressive in the eyes of the secular world, but in the eyes of the disciples of Supporting Immortal Island, it was a place that they weren't willing to come to. Which cultivator would be willing to act like a watchdog and protect a mortal? So what if that mortal was the emperor? As long as one had a bit of cultivation, it was easy for them to enjoy anything they wanted in the secular world.
However, those with low cultivation couldn't come, and those with high cultivation couldn't be bothered to come. Thus, every generation of State Preceptor, Supporting Immortal Island would choose an average Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. To put it bluntly, if the people from the cultivation world wanted to cause trouble, how could an Nascent Soul Realm cultivator stop them? In short, as long as Supporting Immortal Island didn't fall, the dynasty that it supported wouldn't fall. It was the duty of the cultivators sent to protect the emperor. However, it was a disgrace to the Supporting Immortal Island to act like a lackey to the emperor.
"Hmph!" Yue Qianchou snorted and said proudly with his hands behind his back, "Yue Qianchou!"
"Ah! You are Yue Qianchou? "State Preceptor exclaimed and his face turned pale. The person in front of him was actually Yue Qianchou who caused chaos in the cultivation world. He didn't expect to meet him. He didn't know whose cultivation was higher, but a person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. How could a person who could kill Sect Leader Aung Kwang-tsung be someone with an undeserved reputation? The long sword on his back was already in his hand. He looked at Yue Qianchou and hurriedly retreated to the door.
Shi Wenguang revealed a trace of surprise. Although he had heard of Yue Qianchou's deeds, he didn't have a direct understanding of it. He didn't expect that Yue Qianchou's name could scare the State Preceptor to this extent. Shi Xiaotian's face was filled with envy. Boss had actually become so powerful after leaving him for so many years!
Yue Qianchou closed in step by step and sneered, "Since you know my name, do you think I will let you go?"
With a "hu" sound, a ball of bright red flames suddenly ignited around his body. The surrounding wooden furniture and other things were immediately roasted to the point of sizzling and emitting smoke, as if they were going to catch on fire at any time. Shi Wenguang, who was at the back, was on the verge of collapsing from the high temperature. He couldn't even breathe through his nose and mouth. Shi Xiaotian immediately released his vital energy to protect his father and retreat far away. However, from the looks of it, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Yue Qianchou didn't expect the fire to be so powerful. He immediately suppressed the temperature of the fire. Otherwise, not only would the house burn, but even the State Pillar General would also be roasted.
He had already become a man of fire, but he was still sneering in the fire. It made everyone's hair stand on end. What kind of magic art was this? The State Preceptor was already dumbfounded. By the time he reacted and wanted to run, he only saw a red light flash past on both sides. The door had already been sealed by a sea of fire. He looked to his left, right, and roof. There was no fire on the ground, but he didn't know how to burrow underground.
Since he was forced to this point, he could only give it his all. There was no point in being afraid. The flying sword in his hand flashed and turned into a cold light that shot towards Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou snorted coldly and pointed with his finger. A pillar of fire shot towards the flying sword. However, the State Preceptor's cultivation was much higher than Yue Qianchou's. The flying sword immediately forced Yue Qianchou's pillar of fire back. However, the fire released by the latter was too powerful. When the flying sword was about a meter away from Yue Qianchou, it had already turned into liquid metal and flowed on the ground.
Yue Qianchou immediately swung his palm towards the State Preceptor. He clenched his fist and the surrounding wall of fire wrapped around the State Preceptor. "Ah …" The State Preceptor didn't even manage to scream before he turned into nothingness. When Yue Qianchou opened his fist again, the raging fire was quickly sucked back into his palm. A pile of ashes belonging to the State Preceptor scattered on the ground.
