Li Nianfan looked at Zhou Yunwu's figure as he left in a hurry and couldn't help but smile.
A prince of a mortal dynasty. If he could really realize his grand vision, the cultivation world would become very interesting.
He simply packed up. "Little Daji, let's go back."
The stall owner shouted enthusiastically from behind, "Young Master Li, take care. Come again."
As for Zhou Yunwu, he had already rushed out of the city with his guards and was about to rush back to the Xia Kingdom.
However, his path was blocked by a scholar.
The scholar's clothes were very simple, extremely simple, but there was an aura that couldn't be ignored. "I am Meng Junliang. Greetings, Young Master."
Zhou Yunwu returned the greeting. "Prince of the Xia Kingdom, Zhou Yunwu!"
Meng Junliang went straight to the point. "Prince Zhou, I have a presumptuous request. Can you tell me about your conversation with Young Master Li?"
Zhou Yunwu frowned. "This …"
Meng Junliang said, "Actually, I am Young Master Li's page boy. I originally had some doubts and wanted to ask Young Master Li for answers, but I was afraid of offending Young Master Li. Seeing that you were chatting happily, I couldn't help but be curious."
"So you are Young Master Li's page boy." Zhou Yunwu's attitude suddenly became much better. "Why don't you go to the Xia Kingdom as a guest? We can talk as we walk."
Meng Junliang nodded. "That's fine. Please!"
The two chatted as they walked. Meng Junliang repeatedly digested Zhou Yunwu's words. His eyes alternated between shock and realization.
"Don't meddle in politics when you are not in your position."
"Sowing discord, what a good plan!"
"Comparing buns to a country, chopsticks, spoons, and plates to bandits. Casual but easy to understand. Only Young Master Li could do something like this."
Meng Junliang could not help but sigh. The confusion in his eyes began to dissipate, and a trace of vigor was restored.
"Young Master Li's understanding of the principles of Heaven and Earth is always so deep."
Meng Junliang exclaimed and then said, "I finally know where I fell short."
Zhou Yunwu asked curiously, "I wonder where Jun Liang is referring to?"
Meng Junliang took a deep breath. "It's application! Young Master Li not only saw through the principles of heaven and earth, but also used them in his words and actions. This was the true Dao! I thought that I knew a lot, but it was just an armchair strategist. It was useless. "
"Just like this plan of sowing discord. I can see that these three parties have their own selfish motives. They will think of sowing discord, but I can't think of how to implement it."
(I saw someone complaining that the stratagem was simple. To be honest, this stratagem is not simple at all. Look at the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Don't you think it's simple too? If this is simple, how difficult would it be to fight in ancient times? War is about being simple, easy to understand, and effective. It's not like palace intrigue. Too many complicated stratagems are difficult to implement.)
Zhou Yunwu's eyes lit up. He went along with the flow and invited, "If Jun Liang feels that you lack practice, why not come to the Xia Dynasty? You can show off your skills."
Meng Junliang did not reject. He said, "Then it would be impolite of me to decline."
"Hahaha, let's go. I'll go to the Xia Dynasty to welcome Jun Liang!"
…
Linxian Palace.
A few rays of light came from afar. Qin Manyun did not look too good. There were a few disciples following behind him.
Zhou Dacheng asked, "Manyun, how's the situation outside?"
"Very bad!"
Qin Manyun shook his head, his voice filled with worry. "The plague is spreading too fast. It seems that there are demons behind it. Not only the villages and cities in the South and West, many sects have been destroyed! Among the demons, there are more and more people who are receiving the Demon God's Enlightenment! "
Zhou Dacheng was shocked. "It has already reached this stage?"
Qin Manyun sighed. "There are too many mortals who are affected this time. In addition, the path between immortals and mortals has been cut off for too long. Immortals have not appeared for a long time. People do not have enough faith in immortals. With the demons spreading the Demon God's ideology, the mortals are easily influenced."
"In the South, there are even people who have established a dynasty to worship the Demon God. They are expanding rapidly. If they unify all the mortals in the Immortal Cultivation World, the consequences …"
Zhou Dacheng could not help but frown. "All these years, we cultivators have indeed neglected the influence of mortals."
Mortals were the mainstream of the world. As the saying goes, the minority obeys the majority. Once the mainstream changed, it would be fatal.
"Moreover, the most important thing is …" Qin Manyun took a deep breath and said seriously, "It seems that there are also symptoms of the plague here!"
"What?!"
Zhou Dacheng's expression changed drastically. He exclaimed in disbelief, "It spread to us so quickly?"
"It shouldn't have spread so quickly. However, things are different now that the demons are involved." Qin Manyun was a little anxious. He continued, "Therefore, the most important thing now is to find Master and let him decide how to deal with this."
"Find your Master?" Zhou Dacheng's expression suddenly became strange. He wanted to say something but stopped.
Qin Manyun's eyes twitched. "What's wrong?"
What kind of trouble did his Master come up with again?
Zhou Dacheng stammered, "The Palace Master, he … I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to deal with this for now …"
Qin Manyun was slightly shocked. He had a bad feeling. He asked worriedly, "Did something happen to Master? Where is he?"
Zhou Dacheng said in a complicated tone, "In the ancestral hall."
Immediately, Qin Manyun rode on a beam of light and quickly arrived at the ancestral hall of the Linxian Palace.
Yao Mengji was not the only one there. The other three elders of the Linxian Palace were there too.
However, Yao Mengji was not in a good state. His hair was messy and his face was pale. His eyes were sunken and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. In just a few days, he had turned from a fairy-like old man to an old man with extremely weak kidneys.
Qin Manyun was shocked. His eyes turned red immediately. He said sympathetically, "Master is so old. Did some big demon steal your Yang to nourish your Yin? That's inhumane! "
Yao Mengji's face darkened. He looked at Qin Manyun and said in a hoarse voice, "Manyun, you know that it's not easy for me to get so old. Don't tarnish my reputation."
"Then, Master, you …"
"I'm doing this for the future of the Linxian Palace. I'm exhausted."
Yao Mengji's tone was sorrowful and stubborn. "I've been vomiting blood every day. I've been trying to summon the Patriarch, but he didn't respond. I kept vomiting and ended up like this."
Qin Manyun was speechless. He advised, "Master, it's not that bad. Maybe the Patriarch has something to do. You can summon him again in the future."
"Disciple, times have changed. The path of immortals and mortals has been opened. It won't be long before we enter the era of fighting with the Patriarch. Look at the Azure Valley. They're definitely our rivals! It'll be too late if we don't summon the Patriarch now! "
Yao Mengji said earnestly, "I've rested enough. Give me another Energy Strengthening Pill. I can still spray it one more time!"
