Although the Dragon Banner was not a magic item, nor was it a treasure, it did not have any power. But when it was hung up, Hong Yi finally understood the meaning of the Emperor's authority. The title was truly inconceivable.
The more prosperous the era, the more condensed the great righteousness represented by imperial power.
At this moment, the 60th year since the founding of the Da Qian Empire was an unimaginably prosperous era.
What was righteousness and status?
An imperial envoy without the strength to even truss a chicken, with an imperial edict without the slightest bit of power, could appoint and dismiss governors at will! Shackling the powerful feudal officials and escorting them to the capital.
This was imperial power, the great righteousness represented by the imperial edict, and the power of status.
Hong Yi knew that even if Wei Taicang was the Governor of Nanzhou, with countless experts under him, and Yan Zhen was the Grand Marshal of the Pacification Navy, commanding 100,000 soldiers, the Da Qian Emperor only needed to issue an imperial edict and send a weak scholar. But as long as the emperor of the Da Qian Empire issued an imperial edict and sent a weak scholar, the two of them could be stripped of all their authority.
It was not that they did not have the power to kill the imperial envoy and tear down the imperial edict, but they did not dare to. In times of peace, there was no one, no official, who would have the guts to kill the imperial envoy and tear down the imperial edict.
This was the great righteousness, the power of status.
This kind of power did not seem to be something substantial, but it was unbreakable in people's hearts, just like a moral bottom line.
Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha had just discussed imperial power and did not think much of it. But now, he truly felt the invisible pressure of the imperial power.
This was not power, but something much greater than power. It was close to the will of the heavens.
Since ancient times, imperial power represented the will of the heavens.
With this great righteousness and status, even the powerful Taishang Dao had to accept the imperial court's conferment.
When the other party raised the dragon flag, everyone on the ship except Chan Yinsha, Mu The Younger, Shen Tiezhu, Arachnida Gigantea, and Chi Zhuiyang fell silent.
Chan Yinsha was a peerless demon immortal, an invincible overlord, so he naturally did not care about imperial power and status. As for Mu The Younger and Shen Tiezhu, they were determined to follow Hong Yi. Chi Zhuiyang was not from the Da Qian, and Arachnida Gigantea was even more so.
However, Mister Zhou, Lei Lie, Wen Feiyan, Shan Qiu, even the flying guillotine, Yang Yingming, Hua Nong Yue, Hua Nong Ying, as well as the sailors and soldiers of the Green Camp were all anxious. None of them dared to even breathe loudly. After all, it was a crime of looking down on the imperial power and not worshipping the dragon flag.
There were many soldiers and sailors whose homes were in the Da Qian, so they did not dare to act rashly.
"Young Master, it's better to get closer. Even Wang Ye would not be able to bear the crime of looking down on the dragon flag." Flying Guillotine suddenly said.
"Flying Guillotine, why do you think they raised the dragon flag and asked us to stop and get closer?" Hong Yi turned and asked Flying Guillotine.
"Hmm?" Flying Guillotine regained his senses after hearing Hong Yi's question. He thought for a while and said, "I think they saw our Peach Deity Angry Whale Ship and want to commandeer it. After all, the Peach Deity Angry Whale Ship is too useful on the sea. It has a huge internal space and can move quickly. If they have the imperial decree dragon flag, even if Yan Zhen is on the ship, he would have to listen to them. No, not only Yan Zhen, even if Wang Ye was on the ship, he would have to be respectful."
"They want to commandeer our Peach Deity Angry Whale Ship? Flying Guillotine, you guessed correctly. "
Hong Yi nodded his head and thought that this flying guillotine was a genius. He had guessed the crux of the matter immediately. After all, the Peach Deity Angry Whale Ship was too rare and valuable. It was also something with practical value, especially for naval battles. It was only natural that the other party wanted it.
"Flying Guillotine, what do you think we should do?" Hong Yi asked with a smile.
"Stop the ship first and get closer. After all, the other party has the dragon flag, so it is definitely the commander of the Fu Bo Army, Second Grade Earl Cheng Yong. If something happens, it will definitely shake the world. Besides, the other party definitely has a dao technique expert on the ship. If anything happens, the news will definitely reach the Jade Capital. "
Flying Guillotine looked at Chan Yinsha and cautiously explained.
If there was a dao technique expert on the ship, it was clear that it was unwise to have any killing intent at this time. After all, murdering an imperial envoy was akin to treason, and would result in the death of one's entire family and friends.
As a capable general under Prince Yu, Flying Guillotine naturally understood the crux of the matter. He also knew that Chan Yinsha was a lawless person. If he was angered, even Prince Yu would be implicated.
"Oh? We've talked for so long, but we haven't gotten closer. They've caught up! "
Just as Hong Yi spoke, the Fu Bo Army ship with the dragon flag had already sailed three li away. That was two to three thousand steps, and they could see each other's faces clearly.
However, three thousand steps was not the range of a crossbow. Even the strongest ballista or stone thrower could only shoot a thousand steps. Therefore, the people on the ship were not too worried.
"Is that the Pacification Navy's sea scout ahead?"
Just at this time, the other party's ship stopped. A man in a black cloak appeared at the bow of the ship, shouting loudly. It was the leader of the Bi 'an Camp, the Light Chariot Commandant Luo Feng, the man who had fought with Hong Yi in the tavern.
"Brother Hong, we meet again. After returning that day, I did a thorough check on you. General of the Fifth Corps of the Pacification Navy, Hong Yi, right? Master Marquis Wu Wen's son."
Luo Feng's voice was full of energy. Even from three li away, everyone present could hear him clearly.
"I've given my name. I'm the General of the Fifth Corps of the Pacification Navy. It's not a big deal if you can find out my background," Hong Yi raised his voice as well.
"In that case, Brother Hong, the Dragon Flag has been hung on the ship. Why don't you come and listen to our orders? On the ship is the Grand Marshal of the Fubo Army, Second Class Grand Marshal Xiao Tianyao. He's carrying the Emperor's gold medal, arrow, and dragon flag. Even if Master Marquis Wu Wen came personally, he would have to be polite. You're the General of the Pacification Navy, why don't you listen to our orders? "
Luo Feng's face turned serious as he shouted loudly.
"Then why did Grand Marshal Fubo order us to stop the ship?" Hong Yi chuckled.
"Luo Feng! Let him drive the ship here. This time, hang the dragon flag. He didn't listen to orders, which is a capital offense. Since he's Marquis Wu Wen's son, I have to remind him. At the same time, I'll spare him the death penalty. Let him kneel in front of the Emperor's dragon flag and gold medal to repent. "
Grand Marshal Xiao Tianyao, who was sitting in the cabin, heard the conversation between Luo Feng and Hong Yi. He frowned.
"Yes, Grand Marshal!"
Luo Feng heard Xiao Tianyao's order and immediately understood. He knew that Xiao Tianyao was suppressing his killing intent because he was Marquis Wu Wen's son. Actually, disobeying the dragon flag was enough to kill him on the spot. Now, he just wanted him to get off the ship and kneel in front of the dragon flag and gold medal to repent. This was already very lenient.
The dragon flag represented the Emperor. A subject kneeling to the Emperor to repent was like kneeling to his parents. This was simply the right thing to do.
Thus, Luo Feng hurriedly shouted, "Hong Yi, Grand Marshal wants me to ask you, why didn't you obey the dragon flag! Quickly bring the ship over and kneel in front of the gold medal dragon flag to repent. We'll follow Grand Marshal to subdue Yun Meng! "
"What? Haha, haha! "
When Hong Yi heard this, he burst out laughing.
As expected, his two Peach God Ships were being eyed by the other party. The other party wanted to use the name of the Imperial Envoy to forcibly expropriate them. These were Hong Yi's two warships. They absolutely could not be commandeered. Furthermore, the origins of the warships could not be revealed. If they were to be commandeered by Hong Yi and news of it spread, it would definitely arouse a lot of suspicion.
Two Peach God Ships worth six million taels of silver was not a small sum. If it was known, many people would be scared to death.
"Brother Hong, what are you laughing at? Could it be that you've lost your mind after sailing for so long? "
Luo Feng saw Hong Yi laughing and couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Who do you think you are? Are you even fit to call me brother? Back in the Divine Wind Nation's tavern, I already wanted to kill you. Unfortunately, it was not convenient then. Now, on the sea, an ant-like character like you dares to shout at me! "
Hong Yi's face turned cold. He flicked his finger! A huge spark suddenly condensed on his fingertip. With a flick, it shot out like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it flew two to three li and arrived in front of Luo Feng.
Although it was just a small spark, the heat from it caused the air to distort!
This was the True Fire of the Sun that Hong Yi had gathered with his massive thoughts. With his current Ghost Immortal mystical ability, it was enough to melt iron into water. In fact, when he burned fiercely, even rocks would melt into magma. No armor could withstand it.
"Demonic arts!"
Luo Feng was also a martial arts expert. He was at the peak of the Xiantian Realm. He was infinitely close to becoming a Great Grandmaster. His five senses were very sensitive. He could sense killing intent and Yin Qi from the divine soul. In the instant that Hong Yi flicked his finger, he felt that something was wrong.
Shua!
A rebar saber flew out from his waist and slashed at the spark.
When he pulled out the saber, his whole body tensed up like a ferocious beast. A powerful force and aura burst out. Although they were two to three li apart, Hong Yi and the others still felt a formless murderous aura. It was as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping out from the saber when the opponent pulled out the saber.
"Wonderful! I knew that this person was not simple. He could actually condense fist intent. Although it is not as tangible as my True Martial Fist Intent, it can already cause great damage and influence to the divine soul. "
Hong Yi sneered.
Rumble!
When Luo Feng's saber slashed at the spark, it shook twice. It seemed to have been dispersed by the huge saber intent.
But then, the spark exploded violently and turned into thousands of sparks. They fell on Luo Feng's body like iron being struck.
Ah!
Luo Feng suddenly let out a shrill scream. His body did not burn, but his skin and flesh were all burned by the sparks. In an instant, there were many pinhole-sized burnt eye holes on his body!
"Absorb the soul and cut the ghost!"
Hong Yi bent his five fingers and pulled again. A formless cold wind immediately formed and forcefully swept Luo Feng's body into the air. It exploded with a loud bang and burst into a sky full of blood rain. A wisp of invisible and powerful essence was swept back by the cold wind.
Mr. Zhou's eyes flashed. He could feel that the wisp of invisible and powerful essence that was swept back by Hong Yi was all of Luo Feng's essence, qi, and soul.
After a warrior of the Innate Stage who has fused his soul and body died, there was no soul in the form of a human. Instead, it was a mass of masculine essence that would quickly dissipate.
In other words, after a warrior of the Innate Stage died, there was no way to form a soul. Once the body died, the person died too. However, the mass of masculine essence after death was the best material for Taoist techniques to refine all kinds of magical treasures!
"What a pity. If this person was thrown into the furnace, he would definitely refine a peerless blade!" Chi Zhuiyang thought to himself.
For an expert like Luo Feng, not only could he fuse his soul and body and condense a trace of fist intent, if Yun Meng's saber refiner was used as a sacrifice and quenched, he would definitely refine a godly weapon!
Moreover, this kind of godly weapon that was used by an expert with fist intent was the best weapon to harm the soul.
When Wu Sheng's stupid "Shattering Blade" was forged, who knew how many Innate Stage experts and even Grandmasters were sacrificed as sacrifices. Only then would it have the ability to kill gods and cut ghosts.
"Yin Sha, you want this mass of essence to increase the power of the Limitless Arrow, right?"
A murderous aura appeared between Hong Yi's brows. A cold wind wrapped around this mass of essence and flew towards Chan Yinsha.
Chan Yinsha waved his hand and caught it. This mass of essence flew into a Limitless Arrow.
"Young Master, you!"
With a wave of his hand, Hong Yi used a dao technique to kill through the air. At this point, everyone on the boat was shocked. The flying guillotine opened its mouth wide. "Young Master! You! "
"Hmph! If the secret that I own the Peach God Warship is leaked, it will be worth a few million. How much gossip will there be? They want us to stop the boat and follow them into battle. Obviously, they want us to be the vanguard. There is only one way, and that is to silence them! However, this matter was a calamity that could not be avoided! Treason, a crime that will result in the death of nine generations! Are you guys willing to follow me? If not, we can go over there. "
Hong Yi said to the flying guillotine.
The flying guillotine was taken aback. He knew that if he continued, he would be killed immediately. He hurriedly steeled his heart! "Young Master's spiritual power is boundless. You can definitely silence them and not leave any loose ends!"
At this point, everyone on the boat knew what Hong Yi was going to do!
Hong Yi was going to silence them! Kill the imperial envoy! Carry out such an audacious act!
However, it was impossible to let the imperial envoy go without killing him. It was even more impossible to listen to his orders.
Before Hong Yi became a ghost immortal, he was still wary of imperial power. However, now that he had become a ghost immortal and had seen through life and death, he no longer had any scruples!
After all, he was a ghost immortal! An immortal wanted him to kneel and repent. The person who said this deserved to die!
"Young Master, if that's the case, why don't we go all the way? Take that dragon flag and let everyone on the boat spit and pee on it. I guarantee that their hearts will be like iron and they will follow you wholeheartedly!"
Suddenly, Chi Zhuiyang said fiercely.
"Good! That's right! "
Hong Yi looked at Chi Zhuiyang and a cold smile appeared on his face! The consequences of killing the imperial envoy were too severe! Not a single word could be leaked out. Even the people from the Green Battalion and the sailors could not be guaranteed. They had to be silenced! Otherwise, no matter how big the world was, there would be no place for Hong Yi! The Daizen Temple was a lesson!
But now, with Chi Zhuiyang's plan, it could be said that he wanted them to follow him and they would be united!
At this moment, Hong Yi used a dao technique to kill the commander of Bi An Camp, the Light Chariot Commandant Luo Feng. Everyone on the ship of Fu Bo Army was stunned!
Following which, the Grand Marshal of the Fu Bo Army, Xiao Tianyao's face turned green. He did not expect the other party to be so daring!
He roared, his face contorted! He felt that there was no way to describe Hong Yi's actions! There was only extreme shock!
"What audacity! Unworthy of a man! Kill! Kill them all! Thunder Fire Iron Cannon! Deity Sword Battalion! "
