"… Zhi Zun is no longer in the mortal world?" Li Hushuang looked at the old sword immortal in shock. "Jiang Yi is Yang Qingshi?"
No matter which news it was, it was surprising.
Relatively speaking, the news about the legendary Zhi Zun was even more shocking.
Although the mortals in the mortal world did not know much about Zhi Zun, to the upper echelons, Zhi Zun's every move was worth paying attention to.
Jiang Yi's news was enough to shake the mortal world.
"Jiang Yi should be Yang Qingshi's reincarnation. He has innate wisdom." The old sword immortal looked tired. "But his news about Zhi Zun has yet to be verified."
'Crane Deity' Li Hushuang calmed down slowly. She was no longer as excited and shocked as before.
She pondered and said, "However, just as he said, if he really is Yang Qingshi from back then and is related to the God of the Underworld, then when Elder Yun and the others met Zhi Zun in the Dark Cave, Zhi Zun should have reacted."
"It is hard to say if the so-called God of the Netherworld exists. We cannot be sure if Jiang Yi's reincarnation is like what he said, or if it is related to the God of the Netherworld." The old sword immortal shook his head. "Maybe he is not lying, but I cannot be sure if he is hiding some key information."
Li Hushuang nodded Slowly.
An incomplete truth could also mislead people.
"Then we should bide our time and wait. Since Zhi Zun will fight Young Master Tian during the next Star Brilliance, everything will be clear then." Li Hushuang paused.
She looked at the old sword immortal hesitantly. "But if what Jiang Yi said is true and Zhi Zun is no longer here, then if Young Master Tian takes his anger out on the mortal world, the situation will be difficult to resolve."
The old sword immortal nodded. "Hushuang is right. But we are helpless now."
Li Hushuang sighed. "No matter what, Elder Yun, you should recuperate first. We can talk about other things after your injuries are healed."
Without Zhi Zun, the other five world supremes would not be able to change the mortal world so easily.
It was not that anyone in the mortal world could stop them, but that they had their own thoughts and kept each other in check.
Even if Young Master Tian discovered that Demon Venerable was no longer here, it would not be easy for him to enter the mortal world. The other world rulers would not sit idly by.
But it was not wise to place hope on others.
"The tree desires peace, but the wind does not cease. We can only do our best and leave it to fate," said the elderly Sword Immortal.
"Sky Demon's whereabouts are uncertain. We have to be careful." Li Hushuang frowned.
She had always been like a wild crane or a cloud that roamed the world, but it wasn't like she didn't care about anything.
In fact, she had always been wandering, but she did not ignore everything.
As long as that old monster is still alive, the entire world of mortals will not be at peace.
It was a pity that the other party's whereabouts were unclear and hard to trace, and Crane Deity did not have any significant gains all these years.
Last year, Heavenly Demon Ye showed up in Zhengyang City, the capital of the Western Qin. Then, he disappeared without a trace, which made people feel helpless.
"Although he may be in and out of the mortal world, there's no need to worry that he really has contact with existences outside the mortal world. His pride far exceeds that of ordinary people." The elderly sword immortal's tone was not relaxed. "However, we do have to be wary of him stirring up trouble in the future."
If the Supreme Martial Artists of the other five realms didn't intervene in the mortal world, and the Demon Venerable was no longer around, then there was no doubt that Heavenly Demon Ye would be the king of the mortal world.
If the old devil recovered from his injuries, he would definitely make a comeback.
The mortal world might be able to encircle him again, but without the Demon Venerable, it would not be able to withstand the storm.
If the infighting was serious, the other five world supremes would not need to do anything. They could just support their own representatives to invade the mortal world.
"Elder Yun, what do you think Yang Qingshi, or should I say, Jiang Yi, if what he said today is true, then why did he suddenly come to tell you all this?" Li Hushuang asked softly.
The old sword immortal shook his head. "I can't see it now. Let's wait and see."
He said he wanted to wait and see, but the peace was soon broken.
The Empress of East Zhou, who received the old sword immortal's message, let Yan Ranshan of North Sea go and returned to East Zhou.
After seeing the old sword immortal and hearing the details, the Empress was in a daze. "Is the Supreme Demon Venerable really gone?"
"Not necessarily. Even if he is not in the mortal world now, we can't be sure if he has just left the mortal world or if he has died," the old sword immortal said.
The Empress asked, "Let's try the Green Ox Temple and we will know the situation. If Yu Qingniu, Jiang Yi, and Ling Cang really angered the Supreme Demon Venerable, then Yu Qingniu would not have survived. Even if the Lord Daoist protected him, he would not have stayed in the mortal world. The Green Ox Temple now is just an empty shell."
The old sword immortal said, "In troubled times, there are many mysteries. Let's not make too big a move."
"Elder Yun, don't worry. I don't plan to destroy the Green Ox Temple." The Empress peeled a pecan and threw the walnut into her mouth. "But in the territory of East Zhou, he should not stay. Let's see where he goes."
If the Green Bull Temple Master was around to guard the foundation of Green Bull Mountain, it would not be easy for the Empress of Eastern Zhou to break it.
Regardless of success or failure, it would be a long battle.
As time went on, other enemies might take advantage of it.
But now that the Green Ox Temple Master was not here, it would be very easy for the Empress to destroy the Green Ox Temple.
The Green Ox Temple had to move.
The old sword immortal looked at her helplessly. "Be careful of Azure Dragon Island and the wilderness."
"I know." The Empress said goodbye to the old sword immortal.
The old sword immortal stopped her again. "Ruotong, on your side … how is the progress?"
The old man's question was vague, but the Empress seemed to immediately understand what he was referring to. "There is some progress, but we can't have too much hope, especially in the short term."
"Try to hurry. If, if the Supreme Demon Venerable is really gone, I'm afraid there is not much time left for you." The old sword immortal's tone was slightly solemn.
The Empress's cheeks puffed up. She swallowed the food in her mouth and looked distressed. "I will do it as soon as possible."
After bidding farewell to the old sword immortal, she returned to the East Zhou Imperial Capital's Heavenly Seal City. After making some arrangements, she immediately went to the Green Ox Temple's Green Ox Mountain.
"Your Majesty, the way you are rubbing your palms together, it looks like you are seeking a personal vendetta, and not a grand plan for the whole world."
On the throne of the ox cart, "Rain Master" Cheng Shu Zhi said helplessly as he hammered his sore legs.
The Empress's voice came from the cart. "Public and private matters can be handled together."
Cheng Shu Zhi smiled bitterly. "If the Supreme Demon Venerable is really gone, and the Dao Sect of the Qing Wei Realm invades without restraint, there might be great trouble in the future by making things difficult for the Green Ox Temple today. At that time, are we going to seek refuge with the Buddhists?"
"No," the Empress answered without hesitation. "Although they are slightly better than those old ox-noses of the Dao Sect, the big baldies of the Buddhists are equally unlikeable."
The bitter smile on Cheng Shu Zhi's face deepened, but he also gave up on persuading her. He sighed and drove the cart.
The ox cart soon arrived at the holy land of the Red Dust Dao Sect, Green Ox Mountain's Green Ox Temple.
The sudden arrival of the Empress of the East Zhou was no different from a dark cloud hanging over the Green Ox Temple.
The disciples and successors of the middle and lower levels were fine.
However, the higher-ups of the temple knew that their temple master was in the same situation as the previous Hierarch of the Ancient God, Jiang Yi. In name, he was in seclusion, but in reality, he was not at the temple.
Jiang Yi's whereabouts were unknown, and the people of the Ancient God could still pray to find him.
However, the temple master of the Green Ox Temple could not continue to stay in the world because he had offended the Supreme Demon Venerable.
Now, even if they wanted to find him, it was impossible to find him.
Ye Canmian and the others of the Green Ox Temple could only brace themselves to face the Empress of the East Zhou.
However, the Empress of the East Zhou did not plan to talk nonsense with them, and directly attacked the temple gate.
As time went by, the truth of the temple master's absence was soon exposed.
The Empress did not plan to start a massacre. She only wiped the entire Green Ox Mountain from the world of the world, and then returned to her cart to crack pine nuts.
Cheng Shu Zhi would take care of the subsequent matters.
Although the people of the Green Ox Temple were unwilling, they could only retreat from this place, head west, and leave the territory of the East Zhou Dynasty.
For the descendants of the middle and lower levels of the Green Ox Temple, it was more of a mess.
Was their temple master not in seclusion?
Why was he still nowhere to be seen?
Previously, everyone had been laughing at the Ancient God and Jiang Yi. Who would have thought that the tables would turn, and that the tables would turn so quickly?
Ye Canmian, Li Qingyuan, and the other high-level experts could not stop their people from effectively resisting East Zhou, and quelling the rumors and suspicions among the people. They were already exhausted.
Other than trying to maintain internal stability, they also had to think carefully about the future of the Green Ox Temple, and how to maintain it.
The people of the East Zhou Dynasty were much simpler. The Green Ox Temple, who had always been at odds with them, was finally removed.
Only the Empress of the East Zhou Dynasty and Cheng Shu Zhi looked at each other.
The temple master was indeed not here.
Was it a coincidence, or was what Jiang Yi said true?
Chen Luoyang's Taoist Half Sea clone looked at the disappearing Green Ox Mountain from afar, his brows knitted into a knot.
After settling some matters outside, he had planned to bring Wang Di to the Green Ox Temple.
It was better to hand Wang Di over to the Green Ox Temple, and then hand Wang Di over to the Heavenly River as a favor.
However, the situation had changed.
Why would East Zhou suddenly attack the Green Ox Temple?
Although the two had always been at odds, what happened today was too sudden.
The Empress of the East Zhou acted so decisively, as if she knew that the Green Ox Temple was empty, and that the temple master was not actually on the mountain.
The question was, how did she know?
Was there a spy from East Zhou in the Green Ox Temple?
If that wasn't the case, how could he have obtained such important information?
Taoist Half Sea's expression was slightly solemn. Silently, he disappeared with Wang Di.
Later, Chen Luoyang himself was at the Ancient God, and he welcomed an old guest.
The heir of the Green Ox Temple, Ye Canmian, once again came to see Hierarch Chen.
Hierarch Chen did not need to see him to guess his intentions.
The Green Ox Temple, which had been driven out of East Zhou, wanted to find a place to settle in the territory ruled by the Ancient God.
