Soon after, a shadow suddenly appeared in the east, blocking the morning sunlight in the west.
The shadow was exceedingly dark, but it didn't give off a sense of evilness. On the contrary, it gave off a sense of righteousness.
It was because the object blocking the morning sunlight was an inkstone.
The inkstone was used to hold the ink, and the ink was used to write the words. The words were righteous and reasonable, so they were righteous.
This inkstone was the Dragon-Tail Inkstone, one of the four treasures of Yimaozhai.
It was the Sect Master of Yimaozhai, Bu Qiuxiao, who came with the treasured inkstone.
The Zhongzhou School had the closest relationship with Yimaozhai and the Imperial court, and it was also the closest to Zhaoge City. As such, the two sect masters arrived the earliest.
Normally, they should have landed at Taichang Temple after such a significant event had occurred in Zhaoge City; but for some reason, they stopped at the high Empty Realm.
It was not because they were worried that they would disturb the others, but because the Great Formation of Zhaoge City was not open yet.
It was unclear if the Pure Heaven Bureau had forgotten about it, or if there was some hidden reason.
For the Immortal Center Sect Master and Bu Qiuxiao with the treasured inkstone, it was a simple matter to dismantle the Great Formation of Zhaoge City with a wave of their hands; but they didn't want to do so. This was out of respect for the Imperial court and the Emperor, for the system of the Plum Meeting, for the masters who had founded the Plum Meeting, and for themselves.
It was also because the earthquake in Zhaoge City had stopped.
The Center Sect Master received the spiritual awareness of the Old Dragon and knew that the situation was still under control. As such, he and Bu Qiuxiao looked down at the ground and paid close attention to the movement at Taichang Temple.
If the Fiend Prison had another accident and the Old Dragon was in danger, they wouldn't hesitate to employ the most formidable method to kill the King Of The Underworld.
The Fiend Prison had caused such a commotion that day, so these top swordsmen in Chaotian had figured out the reason. … …
In the Royal Palace.
Duke Lu was shocked by the events that had happened one after another. He came before the Emperor with trembling legs, asking in a trembling voice, "Is it because of that person?"
He had been in charge of Taichang Temple for many years, so he was quite familiar with the Fiend Prison. He had vaguely guessed why the Old Dragon had come to the outside world and returned to the underground in a miserable manner.
The Divine Emperor looked in the direction of Taichang Temple with a calm expression and did not speak.
Duke Lu thought in astonishment that the purpose of the Immortal Master Jing Jiu sneaking into the Fiend Prison for three years was to rescue that person.
Otherwise, why would that person attack him right after he escaped from the Fiend Prison? Otherwise, why would His Majesty be so calm?
Jing Jiu was a disciple of Aoyama. Why would he do such a thing?
The Emperor didn't say anything, but motioned for Royal Concubine Hu to return to her own palace hall.
Duke Lu said in a low voice, "I forgot to dismantle the Great Formation of Zhaoge City, which is disrespectful to the Immortal Tan and the House Master Bu. Should we …"
The Chief Commander of the Pure Heaven Bureau, Zhang Yi 'ai, was a swordsman of the Zhongzhou School, so how could he forget to dismantle the Great Formation and block his Sect Master outside?
Of course, there was another reason why he had forgotten to remove it.
Duke Lu had guessed a little and felt a little uneasy. That was why he carefully suggested to see if His Majesty needed this step.
The Divine Emperor had no intention of walking down the steps. "Wait," he said.
Even now, he did not look at the sky.
No matter if it was the light in the west or the ink in the east.
Duke Lu understood what His Majesty meant, feeling even more nervous.
He was an honorable State Duke in the Imperial court and a well-known favorite of His Majesty, having a very high status in the Imperial court.
But who were the two people blocked outside by the Great Formation of Zhaoge City?
The Immortal Tan was undoubtedly the leader of the orthodox Cultivation sects and one of the most powerful swordsmen in Chaotian. Though the House Master Bu had a slightly lower Cultivation state, the scholars of Yimaozhai he led were loved by the populace and respected by all the officials, and they were the foundation of the imperial army. It was no exaggeration to say that they were the pillars of the state.
In a sense, the status of these two people in the sky was similar to that of the Emperor.
The spring wind was not warm, but Duke Lu started sweating, and the back of his official robe was soon soaked.
Time passed.
Duke Lu had finally relaxed.
The morning glow in the sky grew redder, not because of the sun, but because a red cloud arrived from Moqiu. It was the Lotus Sedan of Zen Master.
The Great Formation of Zhaoge City had been dismantled.
The glow remained in the sky in the west.
The Immortal Tan of the Zhongzhou School was as rumored, with a Dao Heart as steady as a rock.
The morning sunlight suddenly grew brighter, and the dark figures in the eastern sky disappeared.
The House Master of Yimaozhai, Bu Qiuxiao, landed in the ruins of Taichang Temple and put away the Dragon-Tail Inkstone, gesturing for the crowd to skip the formalities.
He glanced at the deep cave where the Fiend Prison was located, curling up the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
The Immortal Tan and Zen Master were both here, so it wouldn't matter even if the King Of The Underworld came out.
Yet, his smile was not because of this, but because he was amused by the reaction of Zhaoge City.
The Jing Royal Family was indeed the closest to the Guocheng Temple.
All of a sudden, a formidable sword will arrived from the south.
The thin clouds in the sky parted and then gathered together again, bearing the sword will gently.
Though the sword will was formidable, it didn't give off a formidable feeling. It was mild and moderate, making people feel comfortable.
The Immortal Liu, the Sect Master of Aoyama, had arrived as well.
Duke Lu noticed that the Emperor raised his eyebrows.
As a close official of the Emperor, he was well aware of the hidden meaning of the Emperor's every movement.
The Emperor didn't raise his eyebrows because he was truly relaxed.
…
…
Royal Concubine Hu returned to the grand hall gingerly with the Jade Egg of Rosefinch in her hands.
She was very nervous, not knowing where to put the egg. As she was about to ask someone, she found the grand hall was in a mess.
It turned out that a few palace servant girls had fainted due to the appearance of the divine dragon and were being treated.
"Useless things!"
Royal Concubine Hu spat at him and walked into the hall, wondering if her son was frightened.
As she came to the window, she found that her son was not frightened, but rather excited. He was talking to Gu Qing while pointing at the strange phenomena in the sky.
Seeing this, she was quite startled, thinking that her son was indeed a daring and foolish child after being pregnant for many years.
"That glow is the Immortal Sect Master of Zhongzhou School. He is in the Empty Realm right now, so he shouldn't be able to see it. We can see it because he wants us to see it to avoid any misunderstanding. Zhongzhou School is one of the leaders of the orthodox sects, almost as powerful as our Aoyama Sect. Many officials of the Imperial court are from Zhongzhou, so they have a good reputation among the people. The one descending from the sky is the Sect Master of Yimaozhai. As I told you a few days ago, Yimaozhai is trustworthy. "
"Teacher, are the Zhongzhou School and Yimaozhai on the same side?"
"You can think of it that way."
"Who else is on the same side as them?"
"The Kunlun Sect."
"Is the Sect Master of Kunlun here today?"
"The Heavenly Lake is too far from Zhaoge City. The Sect Master of Kunlun has a lower Cultivation state, and the divine animal of the sect, the Cold-Signal Bird, can't fly long distances. So he will come a bit later and might not arrive in time."
"So weak …"
"The Kunlun Sect has become weaker over the last one hundred years. In many people's eyes, it is on the verge of becoming a vassal of Zhongzhou School. However, the Kunlun Sect is one of the seven major sects with profound resources. Nobody knows what will happen in the future."
"Teacher, who is on the same side as our Aoyama Sect?"
"The No-Mercy Sect. The No-Mercy Sect had fought a few times with the devil men of the Underworld, and finally blocked the crossroad of the Abyss in the Longevity Mountain. Because of this, the Cultivation circle has always respected them. "
"There are only five of them. Who are the other two sects?"
Gu Qing and the Prince Jing Yao stood by the window, talking about all this while facing the sky.
