When Zhu Feng heard Zhengqing Daoist's voice, she stood still and fixed her gaze on him. "May I ask Zhengqing Daoist, in the battle between the three of us and you, who won and who lost?"
Daoist Zhengqing stood there and did not answer.
Zhu Feng also stood motionless.
After a brief moment of distraction, Daoist Zheng Qing's figure suddenly disappeared. At the same time, he sensed that Mei Shang, who was speaking at the side, had disappeared as well. His surroundings fell into a silent darkness.
However, she could feel that the strange atmosphere had also disappeared. Outside the flying boat, there were no longer any limbs with eyes.
She looked again and saw that there were three Tranquil Incense burning in front of her. The shortest one had just reached the end.
She immediately understood that they had been trapped in a fog. The Tranquil Incense did not have the effect it should have. Apart from what she felt inside her body that was real, everything else was a hallucination.
Steady footsteps came from afar. She turned around and saw Mei Shang walking over. After the latter saw Zhu Feng, he bowed to her and said, "Zhu Shouzheng, how are you doing here?"
If it was an ordinary person, they would have been paranoid by the disordered illusion and reality just now. It would be difficult for them to believe in themselves. However, Zhu Feng was Xuan Zun. To be able to cultivate to this level, she had naturally gone through various tests of her temperament. Therefore, she did not panic at all. She calmly bowed and looked at Mei Shang. "Mei Shouzheng, where did you go just now?"
Mei Shang said in surprise, "Didn't you go just now, Zhu Shouzheng …" He suddenly realized something and looked pensive.
Zhu Feng did not confirm anything. Instead, she said, "Let's wait."
Regardless of whether the external appearance was real or fake, as long as her internal breathing was not chaotic and she could confirm that she really existed and was not harmed by external forces, she would be fine.
However, she had a feeling that this situation would not last for long.
Sure enough, after a dozen breaths, a clear ray of light shone over, illuminating the entire flying boat from inside out, and illuminating the surrounding void.
Then, a handsome Daoist entered the flying boat without any hindrance. He glanced at Zhu Feng and Mei Shang, then said to Zhu Feng, "Zhu Shouzheng, how have you been?"
Zhu Fengwan bowed and said, "Greetings, Zhengqing Daoist."
Mei Shang was pleasantly surprised and ashamed at the same time. He bowed and said, "Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother is incompetent. I didn't want to trouble Senior Martial Brother to save me this time."
Daoist Zhengqing shook his head and said, "I didn't come here to save you. You just happened to be here." He raised his hand and took out a Xuanting imperial edict. Then, he unfolded it and showed it to the two of them.
When Zhu Feng saw it, she felt relieved. She knew that the other party must be a Daoist. This was because the Xuanting imperial edict had the Xuanting seal on it. That was the seal set by the five deacons. It was impossible for the Evil God's Bewilderment Barrier to reflect this seal.
Daoist Zhengqing said, "This place has been polluted. Follow me on the cloud raft and return." After he finished speaking, he kept the imperial edict. His body suddenly disappeared from where he was, leaving only a bright light path that led to the outside.
Zhu Feng then waved her sleeve and used her mana to sweep up the unconscious disciples. Together with Mei Shang, they followed the light path and went outside.
At this moment, she turned around to take a look. Countless eyes had appeared on the flying boat without her noticing. They were staring at them, but in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal. It was as if they were really just illusions.
She turned her gaze away and no longer looked. Following the brilliance under her feet, she floated onto a cloud raft in the void.
Daoist Zhengqing waited for the two of them to land and said, "After Shouzheng Zhu's message was sent to Xuanting, the court deacons have been paying attention to the two of you. However, after waiting for three days and seeing that the two of you did not return, they ordered me to come and look for you."
Zhu Feng expressed her gratitude again, "I have to thank Zhengqing Daoist."
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Zhu Shouzheng Zhu, you don't have to thank me. I have already said that this time, I was ordered by Xuanting to come and help. Even if it wasn't me, someone else would have come."
Mei Shang asked, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, I wonder what happened to the Evil God that bewildered my senses?"
Daoist Zhengqing said lightly, "When I came, it retreated first."
Mei Shang said, "This Evil God is different from what we have seen in the past. According to the records and inference of Shouzheng Palace, the Evil God also has a higher-level almighty behind it. I wonder if this time, could it be …"
Daoist Zhengqing said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, you worry too much. If you encountered a higher-level almighty, how could you survive? You wouldn't have lasted until today. Even if the Evil God had a higher-level almighty, he wouldn't come personally. At most, he would leave some usable weapons. Otherwise, how could the five deacons of Tianxia sit and watch? "
Zhu Feng frowned and said, "I have seen the old records of the Evil God. In the past, other than the invasion of the inner layer, I have never seen the appearance of such a powerful Evil God. This is extremely unusual. " If it were not for the lack of such records in the past, she would have prepared more properly this time and would not have been caught off guard.
Daoist Zhengqing said, "I, Tianxia, have only been here for three hundred years. I have not seen all the Evil Gods in the void. It is not strange for such a change to occur."
He then said to Mei Shang, "Junior Apprentice-Brother, you have just returned to Xuanting. There is a reason why your mental strength has not improved much. However, the day of the battle with me in Shangchen is not far away. If your mental strength does not improve, you will encounter this incident again in the future. At that time, you can't count on anyone to save you."
Mei Shang bowed his head and said, "Yes, Senior Apprentice-Brother is right."
His and Cen Chuan's Taoist skills were taught by Zhengqing. In name, they were fellow disciples. However, in reality, he treated Zhengqing as if he was facing his teacher. He was always respectful and fearful.
Although Zhengqing said this to Mei Shang, Zhu Feng also heard it in her heart. She secretly thought that she should find a way to improve her mental strength when she returned.
However, after this experience, she felt that it was not completely fruitless. She felt that after returning, if she went into seclusion, she would be able to have a deeper understanding. As for whether she could take the opportunity to pluck a deeper level of merit, she would be able to entrust herself to the void. This would depend on her own luck.
On the upper level, in the Shouzheng Palace.
Zhang Yu stood in the main hall. In front of him were twelve cauldrons of different sizes that were emitting spiritual light. These were the treasured materials that he had exchanged from Xuanting with mystical grains. He was preparing to use them to refine a stabilizing treasure.
After having the idea of refining treasures and improving supernatural powers, his main body went into seclusion at the back of the hall. He created another doppelganger to prepare for these two matters.
Supernatural powers were not something that could be done in a hurry. He needed to think and deduce for a long time. On the other hand, he could first refine the magic tool.
The price of the upper level treasured materials was actually not high for Xuan Zun. With the Clear Sky Boat that could divide all living things and calm the chaos, coupled with the fact that the gods were on duty, there was no need for Xuan Zun to personally pick and refine them. Therefore, he only needed to use a few dozen hours of mystical grains to exchange for these treasured materials.
In comparison, it would take more energy to refine the soul.
However, just like the refining of the magic tool last time, this time it did not need to be too complicated. This magic tool was only used to assist in stabilizing the situation. In a battle, even if it was only to stall the enemy for a moment, it was enough.
It was just that once this matter started, it could not be stopped halfway. Therefore, he needed to straighten out the matters outside first and try his best not to involve his main body.
He was not afraid of wasting these treasured materials, but he was afraid of wasting these days.
He first took a look at the eastern courtyard and saw that everything was going well. Then, he looked at the report in the Heaven Reprimanding Dao Chapter and saw that there were no major problems in the various stations. They could handle some small matters on their own.
On the outside, Shangchen was probably still preparing to attract Huanyang school. In the past, You City only cared about searching for rare treasures. Now that Tianxia had cleaned up both inside and outside, they did not dare to jump out at this time.
However, there was another situation here …
Just as he was thinking about this, a god on duty came in from outside. He bowed and said, "Shouzheng, the latest news is that Shouzheng Mei and Shouzheng Zhu were attacked in the void."
At this moment, in Shangchen, on the Qingkong Tianyuan, Lingdu Daoist was investigating the things left behind by Wei Mao's shadow.
He tossed a scroll that Wei Mao once read into the furnace. At this moment, a cultivator walked in from outside the hall. He cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Venerable One, I found an item that seems to have been left behind by Reverend Wei. Please take a look, Venerable One."
Lingdu Daoist turned around and looked at the jade bead in the cultivator's hand. However, he did not take it. He only looked at the cultivator and asked, "Who are you?"
The young cultivator revealed a profound smile. He put the jade bead away and placed it on his forehead, turning it into a third eye. This eye spun a few times before closing again. He said: "I came specifically to find you."
Lingdu Daoist did not say anything. However, at this moment, two rainbows fell from the sky in the hall. Daoist Tian Hong and Gu Yangzi appeared on both sides at the same time.
The cultivator smiled, and his body flickered, and he turned into Wei Mao's appearance. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Exalts."
Tian Hong sneered, "You've learned to look like a human."
The cultivator in white smiled and said, "I thought it would be easier for you to accept my appearance. However, if you don't like it, I can change back …"
Gu Yangzi said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about unnecessary things. What are you doing here? What is your purpose in coming here?"
The cultivator in white said, "I have a gift for you." He waved his hand and a jade slip was sent out.
Gu Yangzi took it in his hand. He first examined it and transferred his consciousness into it. After reading the contents, his gaze turned serious. He raised his head and said, "So the matter of Reverend Wei Mao is related to you."
The cultivator in white smiled and said, "Doesn't that also prove that what I gave you is real?"
Gu Yangzi said, "Let's not talk about whether this thing is real or not. Why did you take the initiative to help us? It seems that every time Daoist Ying Chong asked for your help in the past, you didn't give any details or didn't respond at all. Why is it different this time? Can you tell me the reason? "
The cultivator in white smiled and said, "Because helping you is also beneficial to us."
Daoist Tian Hong snorted coldly and said, "Oh? So you know it's beneficial? Then why didn't you help us before? "
"Before …" The cultivator in white suddenly looked at the three with a very strange expression, "We've been watching you all this time."
