After the Skyfall

Chapter 575 Leaving the Capital

In front of Wuji Palace, three thousand Jinyiwei gathered. Each of them was a person who practiced the method of evolution. Although their realm was not high, such strength was already very good in this world. As long as they could condense their souls and accept the power of incense in the future, they would be able to make the leap to the dragon gate and become like a dragon.

Such a massive action would naturally not be hidden from the eyes and ears of others, but it didn't matter at the moment.

Because it was already evening and the sky was getting dark.

Inside the Wuji Palace, a young man wearing red jade and purple gold armor strode out with his feet on golden clouds and covered in lightning. He just stood there, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be gathering around him. Although he didn't say a word, he exuded the aura of a dragon and a tiger, as if he could shake the mountains and rivers with just a stomp of his foot.

"This is Master Taiyi? This is incredible."

"He is also a cultivator, and his strength is extremely terrifying."

"The power of this Master Taiyi is simply unfathomable."

The three thousand Jinyi Guards all had sharp eyes. They already had psychics who could see wronged souls, evil spirits, and incense gods. Naturally, they could also see the strange phenomena around Li Yi. But just one glance made everyone in the audience silent.

Only those who have evolved can intuitively feel how big the gap in life levels is between each other.

No words are needed, and you don't even need to deliberately show your strength. Just stand there and the breath of life you exude will naturally make people feel awe. It's like a tiger passing by a group of wild dogs. There is no need to roar. The wild dogs will naturally be frightened when they smell the scent and will be scared away.

"I'm Master Taiyi. Today, I'm ordered by His Majesty to lead three thousand Jinyi Guards and twenty Golden Eyed Guards to leave Kyoto and start the journey of destroying mountains and temples." Li Yi's voice was calm, but it carried the power of magic and reached the ears of every Jinyi Guard in an instant.

However, everyone had already received this secret mission and did not find it strange, and they had already made preparations.

Even before the action was taken, the imperial court had already issued a large sum of resettlement funds, enough for the whole family to live a life of luxury. In addition, if they made meritorious contributions this time, they would be granted titles in the future, which would be inherited by their descendants. If they succeeded, they would be canonized as gods and enjoy incense and offerings for a thousand years.

Money, power, immortality, the unsparing spending of the mighty Emperor Li Jiye had already made these Jinyiwei excited.

After all, they all came from poor backgrounds and were of good character. Now that they had a chance to turn their lives around, how could they miss it? The embroidered spring swords on their waists had long been starving to death.

Li Yi spoke again, "I will make all decisions on this matter. If anyone disobeys my orders, I will kill them immediately. If you are weak-willed and want to withdraw from this operation, you can leave now. I will plead with His Majesty to pardon you."

However, none of the three thousand Jinyiwei retreated.

Those who are selected have naturally been selected and it is impossible for them to retreat at this time.

"Very good. In that case, I will not waste any more words. Let's go." After Li Yi finished speaking, he pointed with his finger, activated the Taoist magic, and performed the art of flying in the clouds.

In an instant, the spiritual energy in the sky gathered and transformed into golden auspicious clouds. Then the auspicious clouds gathered together and became one, forming a sea of ​​clouds. The golden auspicious cloud covered all the three thousand Jinyi guards. Then the sea of ​​clouds floated up and directly lifted up the three thousand Jinyi guards and began to rise rapidly into the air.

All the Jinyiwei were shocked at this moment. It was the first time for them to see someone with such great magical powers that he could fly into the air with more than 3,000 people. Even some powerful incense gods could not do this.

As they rose higher and higher from the ground, they found that they had left the palace and arrived above the capital.

"Walk."

Li Yi let out a low roar, his voice like a dragon or a tiger, resounding through the sky. Then a golden auspicious cloud rose up from under his feet. Then a strong wind blew, rolling up the golden sea of ​​clouds and flying in one direction.

The first thing he had to do was to leave the capital.

In the capital city, the aura of the emperor is heavy, which interferes with his use of magic. Only after leaving the capital city can Li Yi truly be said to be a dragon entering the sea and a tiger leaping into the mountains.

"I have met Master Taiyi."

Suddenly, above the golden clouds, a beautiful woman came up respectfully.

Li Yi took a quick glance and saw that he should be a member of the Golden Eye Guards from his attire: "Does His Majesty have anything he wants you to convey?"

The Golden Eyed Guards are the close confidants of his father Li Jiye. This time, twenty of them have been arranged to come here. In addition to being at his disposal, they will definitely be responsible for liaisons with all parties. After all, there are many small matters that Li Yi does not need to take care of personally, otherwise what is the point of having so many subordinates.

"Replying to the Immortal, I am the Flower Girl. I am a camellia in the wild that has become a spirit. With the care of Your Majesty, I was transplanted from the wild to the palace and was given the title of Flower God. I have just obtained the power of incense and transformed into a human body. Your Majesty saw that You have no maids or servants around you, so you specially let me serve you. I hope You will grant me the permission."

The golden-eyed guard named Hua Nu knelt down, looking charming and beautiful.

"I understand. You may leave now. I will call you if I have any instructions." Li Yi took a look with an expressionless face and waved his hand.

"Yes, Master." Hua Nu received the order and then withdrew.

Li Yi finally understood that this Flower Girl, no, including the other twenty Golden Eyed Guards were all maids given to him by his father. They were not just guards.

He casually glanced at the other Golden Eyed Guards.

Each of these women is young and beautiful, with graceful figures and different looks. Their pair of light golden eyes add a bit of charm, and they are loyal, which can really make any man's heart move. However, he came to this world not to enjoy himself, but to practice. Women will only delay his speed of three flowers gathering at the top of his head.

Look back.

Li Yi stood on the golden auspicious cloud and looked into the distance. At this moment, the golden auspicious cloud, carrying three thousand Jinyi guards and twenty golden-eyed guards, was about to leave the 300-li territory of the capital.

He had a premonition that there would be a battle waiting for him after he left the capital.

The moment he was appointed as the Imperial Master, he was destined to become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of most of the gods of worship in the world. It was even more impossible for Emperor Yin hiding in the dark to let him go.

The sky was growing darker by the moment.

Night is the time when the incense god is active.

It was only nightfall.

The aroma of incense rose into the sky from all directions of the capital city. The wisps of green smoke intertwined to form clouds, and within the clouds, one incense god after another appeared.

"Where is Master Taiyi?"

Soon, a huge voice resounding through the sky was heard. As soon as Li Yi's golden auspicious cloud flew out of the capital, it was stopped by a scent of incense. A number of righteous gods who had achieved enlightenment through incense blocked his way and stopped him in mid-air.

"You're here so soon? I thought I would have to wait for some time after I left the capital before the Incense God would target me. But it seems I'm underestimated by you all." Li Yi looked calmly as he stared at the three most special Incense Gods in the dark clouds.

One of them he recognized, that was Zhang Jiangong, the guardian general of the south.

At this moment, Zhang Jiangong was wearing armor, had a tall and sturdy figure, held a sword in his hand, had a gloomy look, and seemed to be somewhat distracted.

On the side, there are the Western Guardian God General and the Eastern Guardian God General. One of them holds a spear, and the other holds double maces. They are equally mighty. The fragrance of incense is strong around them, and their bodies have turned from virtual to real, as if they have flesh and blood.

"Emperor Yin has ordered that Master Taiyi, as the national teacher, has impure intentions and is guilty of heinous crimes. Today, you are stripped of your position as national teacher and will be executed immediately." A Western guardian general stepped forward, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and shouted.

Although the imperial edict was issued by Emperor Yin, it was also recognized by the court. At this moment, when the imperial edict came out, heaven and earth resonated, as if his position as the national teacher was really removed. The power of incense and faith in his body began to dissipate involuntarily, and a large amount of incense energy no longer gathered on Li Yi, but dissipated into heaven and earth.

Feeling such changes in himself, Li Yi couldn't help but frown.

Can you do this?

One imperial edict can't gather the incense?

"Master Taiyi, you are finished. You have lost your position as the national teacher. The power of incense is dissipating, and without the power of incense, you will soon be beaten back to your original form." The Western guardian god said with a sneer.

"So that's how it is." Li Yi now understood why the Jinyiwei had to be trained to start destroying mountains and temples.

All the gods of incense and worship in the world are controlled by emperors of all dynasties. It only takes one imperial edict to make you fall from the altar and never gather the power of incense and worship again. There are as many as twelve emperors in all dynasties. They hinder each other, and the relationship is complicated and difficult to clean up. Only practitioners can break this situation.

"Master Wuyou, we also have the imperial edict from His Majesty." At this time, the golden-eyed Wei Huanu stepped forward. She also held the imperial edict in her hand, which was given to her by the current Shenwu Emperor.

The content of the imperial edict is empty, but it is stamped with the emperor's seal. As long as the content is written, it can come true.

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "No need. To destroy mountains and temples, we need people, not an imperial edict."

After saying this, he turned to look at the incense gods in front of him and said, "You should be very clear about my strength. There was a northern guardian general, I think his name was Wang Qijun, who was beheaded in the capital because he opposed me. I don't know where you get the courage to say you want to kill me now?"

"If it's just you today, then I'm sorry, your role as the Protector of the Nation has come to an end."

"You are so bold! You have lost your position as the national teacher. Today is the day you die."

"How arrogant! The three of us, the guardian gods, will join forces to kill you easily."

The two national guardian generals shouted loudly at this moment. Only the southern national guardian general Zhang Jiangong knew very well that the Taoist in front of him had made progress compared to the previous period. If it were not for the imperial edict to remove his position as the national teacher and disperse all the incense power, he really would not have the courage to come.

What they don’t know is that Li Yi doesn’t rely on the power of incense at all.

Even though a lot of his power from incense has dissipated now, his own strength has not weakened in the slightest, because he is following the path of using the false to cultivate the true, and does not rely on the power of incense.

Li Yi laughed at this moment, laughing at the stupidity of these incense gods.

Now he is at the third level of the Five Qi Realm, and his strength has increased several times compared to before. If the three national guardian generals had joined forces before, he might have had some chance of winning. But now, it is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock, and he is courting death.

"Forget it. I don't want to waste any more words with you guys. I'll just send you off today." Li Yi took a step forward at this moment, and a golden light shot up into the sky above the auspicious clouds.

The golden energy in the twelve acupoints is released, and just the overflow of the energy is enough to penetrate gold and split stone, it is extremely sharp.

The golden energy in the sky then gathered together and gathered on his fingertips.

"The land becomes a river." Li Yi reversed the Taoism and pointed his finger forward.

In an instant, an extremely sharp edge flashed across the sky, so fast that there was no way to react. Moreover, this time he was using his energy, which complemented the Taoism and increased its power.
