Chapter 495

Crack!

In the eyes of Zhang Yuquan and many sailors, the swordsman, who had an imposing manner and graceful bearing, was beaten to a pulp. His small boat was broken into pieces and floated on the sea.

Only then did they see a Taoist in a black robe standing in the air.

He wore the mask of Heavenly Primogenitor, looking dignified and twenty feet tall. His body seemed to be made of Dharma and Logos, giving people the feeling that he was the top of the sky and the bottom of the sea.

It seemed to fill up the void and was the beginning of everything, dominating the heavens. Coupled with the calm sea and the flashes of lightning in the fog, in the hearts of Zhang Yuquan and the sailors, he was like a god or a Buddha, a real immortal, leaving an indelible impression on them.

"Huh …" Mengqi was surprised. He didn't have time to think and used the Law Phenomenon. He stepped into the air and punched with his right fist.

The person hidden in the fog seemed to see a huge Jade Ruyi Scepter smashing towards him. It was surrounded by sacred golden light spots and intertwined with the glow of black and white morality. It didn't cause any abnormal phenomena. The waves were the same as before, the fog was the same, and the lightning and thunder were the same.

The only strange thing was that all the lightning and mist retreated, opening up a path for the huge fist that looked like a jade Ruyi scepter!

The Exterior expert thought of the miserable appearance of the swordsman and was afraid that he would also end up with his head splattered and his body turned into mud. He didn't dare to take it head-on. He made a Taoist Seal with his left and right fingers and slowly pushed it out.

With this push, his entire body seemed to have completely fused with the mist, and he instantly fled far away.

Just as he was feeling proud of his escape method, a great sense of danger rose in his heart. He sensed that the Jade Ruyi Scepter was still smashing towards him.

"How could this be?"

Only then did he realize that the black and white and morality in the surrounding void were intertwined, forming a constantly rotating Tai Chi. His escape just now was just a circle on the spot!

The golden light spots merged with the fog and turned the surroundings holy and hard. It couldn't be broken in a moment!

"What kind of move is this? What kind of Divine Skill is this?"

Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly felt his whole body go limp as if he had met his natural enemy. He couldn't resist and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

The fist that looked like the Jade Ruyi Scepter fell, penetrating the light shield of his secret treasure and hitting his head.

"Crack!"

His forehead cracked and brain juice flowed out, but he didn't turn into a pulp like the swordsman. Instead, his body remained intact as if such a terrible punch could only destroy his head.

Just then, the swordsman's bloody mud suddenly condensed, as if a whirlpool had appeared in the center. In a short moment, it disappeared, leaving only a strange thing. It had a slender body like a tree trunk, covered with long whiskers, and thin limbs on both sides. It dived directly into the sea and escaped by using the water, causing Meng Qi to be one step too late.

While Meng Qi was paying attention to the monster, the expert of the Exterior who was controlling the strange Nether Spirit was also experiencing a similar scene. The only difference was that what was left of his body was a fist-sized red ball that looked like a stone or a fruit. There were some colorful patterns on it that looked like eyes and a mouth.

Splash! The red ball also fell into the sea. Meng Qi's Void Grabbing could only lift a handful of seawater.

"Scepter" Of the Of Men. It was Mengqi's first time encountering such things, so he was caught off guard and took the opportunity to escape.

This was not the only thing that puzzled him. Whether it was the powerful swordsman or the invisible Nether Spirit manipulator, their strength was not something Zhang Yuquan, who had just entered the Exterior, could compare with. They were at least close to the first step of the Celestial Ladder. Their realms were higher than his, and their combat strength was not bad either.

Therefore, when he attacked, Mengqi didn't expect to succeed in one move. Even if he directly used the Law Phenomenon and the Tilting Heaven and Earth of the Skythrowing Palm to show his power, he thought the swordsman could block it at the risk of injury. The killer move was the Three-gem Wish Fist of the Dharmakaya level.

Unexpectedly, the swordsman was overwhelmed by the power and couldn't bear it. The invisible Nether Spirit also didn't resist much in the face of the Three-gem Wish Fist. Neither of them seemed to have exerted their true strength.

"Was he completely suppressed by my momentum and lost his mind? Or was he scared out of his wits by the identity of Heavenly Primogenitor?" Mengqi guessed as he turned around and stepped toward the ship. His body gradually shrank and returned to the state of a normal person.

However, in the eyes of the sailor and Zhang Yuquan, his image was completely different from before. He was not the so-called immortal of the mysterious Azure Palace, but a real immortal who could hold up the sky. Even if his body was ordinary, he was still tall and majestic!

He was indeed a master of the Three Pure Ones!

With his mask on, Mengqi slowly walked back to the cabin and said, "Bring the swordsman's sword to me.

"Bring me Swordsman's sword. I want to check it for clues."

The items on the swordsman in white and the invisible Nether Spirit had been swept away by the two strange things, leaving only the sword behind. Now that he was Heavenly Primogenitor, a dignified and detached immortal, how could he retrieve it himself?

"Yes, Primogenitor," Zhang Yuquan replied respectfully. Zhang Yuquan answered respectfully. He had also seen the strange state of the two experts of the Exterior after their deaths, so he was even more confused about what had happened in Qiao Province. What had actually happened there? What kind of monster was that?

Mengqi thought for a moment and added,

"Don't lose it."

With that, he walked into the cabin with dignity and calmness.

…

In the secret chamber, two green lamps appeared where the candles used to be. They burned with crimson flames that were as red as beans. They flickered constantly and were full of vitality.

These were simple soul lamps that could only last for a short period of time.

"Looking at the time, it's about time for them to take action. If the soul lamps don't change, it means that the task was completed successfully," the shrill voice said.

A low voice said, "We all understand. There's no need for you to explain."

"The previous two times were more or less the same. The only difference was the addition of an immortal from Green Touring Palace," said the voice that sounded like a broken gong.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of chilly wind blew past.

Whoosh! The two soul lamps extinguished at the same time, plunging the room into darkness!

"This …"

"How is this possible!"

"They're all dead? Almost at the same time? "

Voices blurted out one after another, unable to accept this fact. The secret room became noisy and chaotic.

After a long time, they fell silent again.

After a while, an old voice said slowly, "They could exert the strength of the Fourth-fold Heaven for a short period of time, enough to deal with most of the powerhouses of the imperial court. Now that they died at the same time, it can only mean one thing: the immortal from the Azure Palace is far more terrifying than we imagined. Perhaps he is similar to the Lady Mother of the Chariot and the Immortal Taiyi."

No one objected. The truth was right in front of them. Blind denial and disbelief would only lead to greater losses.

"It's best not to confront such an immortal head-on. We should retreat in order to advance," the man with the hoarse voice said.

"How do we advance by retreating?" the broken voice asked.

The old man said, "Let Zhang Yuquan take over Qiao Province and send us back to the capital. We will use the excuse of gathering our family members to buy as much time as possible. If it doesn't work, we will seize control of the ship on the sea route and return quietly."

"When the sea route is cut off, we can carry out the deed without Zhang Yuquan's knowledge with the forces we operate in secret and your resources. When the sea route reopens next year, we will succeed. What do we have to fear then?"

They already knew who the imperial envoy was. It was enough to show that there was no lack of forces supporting them!

A low voice said, "What if the immortal from the Azure Palace 'escorts' us back to the other side?"

The secret chamber fell into silence once again. After an unknown period of time, someone gnashed his teeth and said,

"Then let's cut off our means of retreat and lead him there. I don't believe we can't kill him!"

"Alright!" The others hesitated for a moment before making up their minds.

Death was a dream. But if one did not die, they would live for thousands of years!

…

Xin Hai City, the capital of Qiao Xia Province.

The sun shone brightly on the azure blue sea like dancing golden scales. At the point where the sea met the sky, ships gradually grew larger. Their masts towered so high that they seemed to be able to pierce through the clouds.

Many fishermen and merchants stared with wide eyes. How many years had it been since they had seen such a large ship and such a magnificent fleet? They had probably only seen such a sight when they migrated to Qiao Province!

Before the ship reached the harbor, the Inspector of Qiao Xia Province, Fang Butong, approached on an official ship and boarded the deck of the imperial envoy, Zhang Yuquan's ship.

He had once set the record of being the oldest person to reach the Exterior realm. Now that he was old, he had yet to break through to the Second Heaven. It was not because the Vital Qi of Heaven and Earth was insufficient or that he could not find the exotic minerals and produce he needed. It was because his Hidden Latch was faulty and could not be fixed.

Fang Butong's hair was white and his body was slightly hunched. There were many wrinkles on his face. He did not look like an Inspector at all. He respectfully greeted Zhang Yuquan and quietly sized up the Taoist behind him who wore a dignified mask. He was the terrifying man with the title of Heavenly Primogenitor!

Mengqi was also looking at him. One should not judge a book by its cover. Who could tell that this thin and weak old man had joined forces with the other Inspectors to bury two fleets of the imperial court in the ocean? They had lost two Exterior experts.

The secret agent of the imperial court hidden in Xin Hai City had just reported this to him.

Fang Butong listened calmly as Zhang Yuquan read the imperial edict. The Emperor sympathized with his old age and asked him to return to his roots. Zhang Yuquan would temporarily take over the position of Inspector of Qiao Xia Province.

After listening to the edict, Fang Butong was so touched that tears flowed down his face. He showed no signs of resistance.

After entering Xin Hai City and the banquet, Zhang Yuquan finally found the time to look for Mengqi. He asked, "Primogenitor, I feel that something is wrong. Fang Butong is too cooperative. There must be a reason behind this."

Mengqi was wearing the mask of Heavenly Primogenitor. He sat cross-legged on the bed and said in an indifferent voice, "How could someone who could bury two Imperial Envoys be willing to be captured?"

Those who had already taken the risk would find it hard to turn back!

Zhang Yuquan understood this very well. He said in a low voice, "Primogenitor, I will be wary of Fang Butong and find out the reason as soon as possible."

"There is no need to feign civility with them. They might be trying to buy time and wait for the channel to be cut off. You have a righteous cause and the support of the Aquamarine Palace. You should take the initiative and strike first!" Mengqi said calmly.
