From the fake emperor to the concubine

Even the Sword God Fang Zhuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the opponent's three Enlightenment Stage masters leave.

He seemed relaxed on the surface, but his enemy was after all three stages of enlightenment.

No one knows whether they have any hidden secrets that have not been used yet.

Even though there was a person in the Enlightenment Stage who had just appeared, he was severely injured by them and would definitely not be able to recover to his peak state in a short period of time.

But no matter what, this is also a master in the enlightenment stage and should not be underestimated.

Zheng Yi saw that they were about to let down their guard immediately after the powerful enemy disappeared.

He hurriedly reminded: "Senior, these people may not really leave, so we can't be careless now."

Fang Zhuo was stunned, and then immediately became fully alert.

After waiting for a long while, Fang Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "Zheng Yi, you are right again. These guys retreated on the surface, but they are actually hiding in the dark."

"It was only until just now, when I realized there was no chance, that I really left."

"If we had let our guard down just now, we would have definitely fallen for their trick."

The old Taoist priest Zuijiu and others all felt their scalps tingling.

Three Enlightenment Stage masters were hiding near the Immortal Questioning Temple, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time...

As long as the other party makes a move, they will not have enough time to activate the mountain protection formation.

There is no doubt that he will die.

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Weiyao's calm eyes.

After this unexpected situation, no one dared to let their guard down.

During the process of treating the wounded and cleaning up the mess, the mountain protection formation has never been closed.

After waiting for another half an hour, Zheng Yi said, "They probably won't come again this time."

The first time the other party pretends to leave, allowing them to let down their guard, this is when a sneak attack is easiest to succeed.

It is unlikely that the same trick will be used again later. However, in order to avoid accidents, we must be prepared.

It is quite risky to let several masters in the Enlightenment Stage stay in the human territory for too long.

No matter how stupid those people from the Nether Spirit Clan are, they would not make such a big mistake.

After the mountain protection formation was closed, Fang Zhuo immediately said to Shen Weiyao: "These guys from the Mingling Clan have hidden the fact that they have a fourth enlightenment stage expert so well. I have to tell the sect leader about this as soon as possible."

Shen Weiyao nodded: "I will stay here for a while to prevent those people from the Nether Spirit Clan from making a comeback."

Before leaving, Fang Zhuo gave Zheng Yi a palm-sized flying sword: "This flying sword was refined by me using the sword energy of my spiritual cultivation."

"I can launch a sword attack that can reach 40% of my cultivation level."

"It takes at least three days to recover after each use. If used properly, it will definitely be of great help to you, kid."

"But because it was refined with my sword energy, it cannot recognize its master like ordinary magic tools. Anyone who gets it can use it. You must remember this."

After thinking for a while, Fang Zhuo lowered his voice and said, "If the situation is really urgent, you can use your blood essence as a guide, and only let the sword energy above burst out, and unleash a sword energy attack equivalent to 70% of my cultivation."

"There are definitely not many people in the world who can withstand this attack."

"However, once this secret method is used, the sword energy on the flying sword will all dissipate, and there will be no way to recover it."

A magical weapon that can release 30% of the cultivation power of an enlightened master sounds a bit weak.

But Fang Zhuo is a master in the enlightenment stage.

It is impossible for a cultivator in the Jindan stage to block it.

Even if one has reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, probably only those with relatively strong strength can barely resist.

Moreover, even if he was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would definitely not be able to withstand an attack from Fang Zhuo who had 70% of his cultivation level.

This magical weapon can really save lives at critical moments.

"Thank you, Senior. I just don't know what the name of this magic weapon is?"

"Call me whatever you want, just Xiaojian will do." Fang Zhuo waved his hand, and the sword energy soared into the sky, instantly escaping thousands of miles away.

The old Taoist priest not only arranged a room for Shen Weiyao, but also included Zheng Yi and his group.

In this battle, Wenxian Temple suffered heavy losses.

The mountain protection formation is badly damaged, and a lot of materials are needed to repair it.

Seven buildings collapsed and eleven were slightly damaged.

There were as many as 115 disciples killed in the battle, including some with great potential.

A hall master in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm suffered severe damage to his meridians and fell directly to the peak of the Golden Core Realm. If he hadn't encountered a fortuitous encounter, he would probably never be able to recover in this lifetime.

Two Jindan monks were killed and seven were seriously injured.

Even the old Taoist priest's junior fellow Zuijiu could no longer improve his cultivation because he took a pill that could forcibly stimulate his potential.

Since its establishment, Wenxian Temple has never suffered such severe losses.

Two days passed and many Jindan cultivators said goodbye.

Before leaving, almost everyone came to see Zheng Yi.

Some people felt that it was Zheng Yi who saved them, and brought gifts to express their gratitude.

Of course, some people also think that Zheng Yi is just a cultivator in the early stage of crystallization. Even if his brain is a little more flexible, he is not worthy of their high regard.

Although they looked down on Lin Feng in their hearts, no one pointed fingers at Zheng Yi.

After all, if it weren't for Zheng Yi's efforts, the Wenxian Temple would have been razed to the ground by Cangyue Yanhuang long ago.

If you slander Zheng Yi here, you will definitely be regarded as an enemy by Wenxian Temple.

"Master, how long are we going to stay here?" Bai Zhirui fiddled with a shuttle out of boredom.

This was the magic weapon that Zuijiu gave to Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi felt it was useless, so he gave it to his apprentice.

Bai Zhirui is a person who cannot sit still. Her days in Wenxian Temple were too leisurely. After her injuries had almost healed, she began to get restless.

Zheng Yi shook his head and sighed: "The Canglan Realm is about to fall into chaos. It is too dangerous for one person to act in troubled times."

"It would be better for you to join a sect temporarily. It would be safer to act with them."

With a clang, the shuttle in Bai Zhirui's hand fell to the ground. She cried, "Master, do you want me no more?"

Zheng Yi Dahan: "When did I say I don't want you? You will always be my apprentice. If you want to run away after becoming my master, there is no way."

"The Canglan Realm is now full of dangers. It is both a danger and an opportunity for you."

"For cultivators, the best way to improve their cultivation is through actual combat."

Although Bai Zhirui was stunned by what she heard, she was not completely fooled by her master.

"Then Master, are you going to join a sect too?"

To his surprise, Zheng Yi agreed without even thinking: "Of course."

Having ruled Dayu for so many years, Zheng Yi knew too well how much help having the support of a huge force would bring to his cultivation.

He didn't need to go to great lengths to find many precious materials. As long as he gave an order, someone would naturally deliver them to his door.

Why did he subdue those cultivators before being dragged to Canglan Realm by Huiyue Demon Lord? Wasn't it to strengthen his own power and make it easier to practice?
If the male protagonists in the novels were not cheating, how could it be possible for them to cultivate so fast as casual practitioners?

For example, if you are a disciple of a large sect, you can get many of the elixirs used for breakthroughs directly from the sect.

If it were a casual cultivator, not only would he need to spend a lot of time and energy, but whether he could get it would also depend on luck.

Of course, there are also people who are so lucky that they can come across rare treasures just by taking a few steps outside.

But there is only one such person among millions or tens of millions of people.

For most people, simply having the qualifications to practice is already an extremely lucky thing.

If you have good luck, you are more likely to decline after reaching your peak.

Bai Zhirui stood up in shock: "Master, have you really decided to join a sect?"

At this time, a man pushed the door open eagerly and said, "Senior Zheng, if you want to join the sect, please consider our Xingxiu Sea. We will never let you down."

Su Yao rushed to Zheng Yi wrapped in a fragrant breeze, her eyes full of anticipation.

At the same time, he did not forget to explain: "Sister Bai, and Senior Zheng, I did not mean to eavesdrop. I just came to you for something and overheard it accidentally."

Zheng Yi waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's not something that needs to be kept secret."

Of course Su Yao could hear it.

Zheng Yi knew that she was coming and told him on purpose.

As a cultivator, it is not difficult to hear the content of a conversation within a few dozen meters if the other party does not deliberately conceal it.

"So, Senior Zheng, you agree to join our Xingxiu Sea?" Su Yao's pretty face flushed with excitement.

Zheng Yi was speechless. It was said that being in love would reduce one's intelligence, but it seemed to have no effect on Lily.

This girl's brain is really working very quickly now.

In the eyes of others, Su Yao's words were completely irrelevant to what Zheng Yi said.

But Zheng Yi knew very well that it was just the rhetoric of the little girl Su Yao.

For example, when borrowing money, if the amount is not particularly large, it is often easiest to borrow it by asking in person.

Because in the subconscious of many people, they don’t like to reject others directly.

Another clever thing about this sentence is that it is a question with an affirmative meaning.

What Su Yao was talking about was whether the seniors had decided to join, not whether they would join.

Although they look the same, there are actually some very subtle details involved.

As for why Zheng Yi felt that this was Su Yao's method, rather than a casual remark from the other party.

This was naturally because after Su Yao entered the room, her eyes never left her apprentice.

It is obvious that the real purpose is not to drink.

Bai Zhirui felt frightened by Su Yao's gaze and subconsciously hid behind Zheng Yi, letting her master block Su Yao's burning gaze.

After all, rhetoric is just rhetoric. It can guide others to think in the direction you want, but it cannot truly influence a person's choice.

"I'm still considering this." Zheng Yi put on a faint smile on his face and did not directly answer Su Yao.

If possible, Zheng Yi’s first choice would actually be Xingxiu Sea.

As for why...

Of course, it is because I have heard from many people that Xingxiuhai is a sect dominated by female practitioners.

More than 90% of the cultivators in the sect are women.

Among the remaining ten percent, many are the monks’ family members, companions, and the like.

For him, it is simply the best place for cultivation.

But for things like this, the more important it is, the more you have to act as if you don't care. Otherwise, you will only be put in a passive position.

Not to mention Su Yao, even Zheng Yi's apprentice Bai Zhirui.

Until now, it is still unclear that my master is racking his brains and trying every possible means to join the Xingxiu Sea.

"Is that so..." Su Yao was very disappointed, but she didn't try to persuade him any further.

She and Lin Feng already knew that the person who had taught them how to deal with the cultivators of the Nether Spirit Clan along the way was Zheng Yi in front of them.

Naturally, he also knew how powerful Zheng Yi was.

If he doesn't agree, it will be useless no matter how much I say.

"Senior, my master and Senior Brother Lin's master have arrived."

"They are grateful to you for saving our lives and want to thank you in person. If it is convenient for you, can you come with me to meet them?"

In his original world, Zheng Yi was the almighty emperor, but monks did not attach much importance to their secular identities.

Even if they are emperors, as long as their cultivation is not high enough, they are nothing to them.

Now that he has sent an important disciple to inform you, it is already because of Zheng Yi's efforts in saving people.

"Please lead the way." Zheng Yi was really curious about what kind of person the master who had several lily-shaped Taoist partners that Su Yao mentioned was like.

"Master!" On the way, Bai Zhirui begged Zheng Yi pitifully: "Master, anything else is fine, but please don't choose Xingxiu Sea!"

"Oh? Why?" Zheng Yi asked pretending to be ignorant.

"I think Xingxiu Sea is pretty good? The most important thing is..." Zheng Yi looked at Su Yao who was leading the way in front with a wicked smile.

Bai Zhirui's face changed drastically. Could it be that her master would sell her out so easily?

No.

She is an extremely normal woman. She can understand Su Yao's feelings, but she firmly refuses.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yi changed the subject and said, "There are many female cultivators in Xingxiu Sea, which proves that there must be many techniques suitable for women to practice there."

"It will be of great benefit to improving your strength."

How could Bai Zhirui not understand that she had been tricked by her master again?

Obviously before, Zheng Yi had hinted in various ways that he wanted to use the relationship between her and Su Yao in exchange for some benefits.

But the subject suddenly changed and turned to something serious.

Seeing Bai Zhirui blushing so much that her ears were almost covered, Zheng Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "Wait, Xiaobai, you are not thinking about somewhere else, are you?"

"Hey, young people nowadays, I really don't understand what you are thinking."

Bai Zhirui swore that if this guy was not her master, she would have smashed the "Hundred Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art" in his face long ago.

"If the master must join, I, as his disciple, naturally have no objection." Bai Zhirui gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.

For a cultivator, cultivation is everything, and everything else must be put aside.

As for Su Yao...

As long as you give her some time, she will always be able to find a solution.

Compared to Su Yao's troubles, cultivation resources are more important. (End of this chapter)
