And it's seriously problematic!
Zhou Tianqi secretly became more vigilant. Regardless of whose side Yun Jie was on, he had to protect the Human Emperor's physical body and preserve the human race's future.
At the same time, Yun Jie sensed someone talking about him, and they were quite close. So he quickly scanned the area with his peripheral vision and finally locked onto Zhou Tianqi.
Yun Jie's eyes flickered slightly; it seemed he had been too obvious.
But it doesn't matter. He hasn't revealed much yet, and Zhou Tianqi can't guess anything based on that. Besides, he might even misunderstand.
No matter how wildly Zhou Tianqi imagined things, he couldn't fathom that he wasn't from this world, much less that he had some kind of cheat code.
······
Let's not talk about what Xia Wushen, Zhou Tianqi, and Yun Jie were thinking.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold because of Zhou Tianqi's denial.
Whether you're guessing or just hearing about it, what can you do if they don't admit it?
In the end, it was Zhu the landlord who had the thickest skin. He put his arm around Zhou Tianqi's shoulder, chuckled, and said, "Old Zhou, if you really have any research results, why don't you share them? My Great Ming Prefecture is rich, you name your price."
"..."
Zhou Tianqi pushed him away with disdain, "I already said I don't know anything about this. Why don't you go ask Potian and Polong?"
Despite being pushed aside, Zhu the landlord didn't mind. He continued, "In the end, you're the one in charge of the Great Zhou Prefecture. You have to agree to my request first, and then I'll have my good-for-nothing son contact your Potian."
After Zhu the landlord finished speaking, the others all looked at Zhou Tianqi. If he agreed, they could do the same.
Zhou Tianqi glanced at Zhu Dizhu indifferently and then fell silent.
And they displayed an attitude that kept strangers at bay.
At this point, everyone gave up completely.
Then the skies over the Eastern Rift Valley returned to calm.
Privately, Zhu the landlord was talking to Yun Jie, "Old Yun, how accurate is your intelligence?"
Yun Jie replied dismissively, "Why don't you have someone check it out?"
“No need, no need, I trust you,” Zhu the landlord quickly changed his tune.
Yun Jie didn't want to talk to him, wondering what kind of trouble he was up to now.
Then Zhu the landlord asked again, "Then tell me, has the Zhou family been targeting the polytheistic script lineage all these years?"
After Yun Jie mentioned that the Great Zhou Prefecture could artificially create the Sun and Moon Divine Script, not only Xia Wushen thought of the polytheistic script system, but many people present also made the same connection, though they didn't say it.
After all, during the incident that occurred in the Great Xia Prefecture some time ago targeting Liu Wenyan and his group, a bunch of Sun and Moon Divine Script avatars appeared. Where would ordinary people get so many divine scripts? It's not like they're from the multi-divine script system.
Upon learning that the Great Zhou Palace could create the Sun and Moon Divine Script, everyone would make the connection.
However, everyone knew about the mess between the Great Zhou Prefecture and the Great Xia Prefecture, and it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong, so they didn't want to get involved.
Regarding Zhu Dizhu's question, Yun Jie told the truth: "No, I think it's more that the single-divine script lineage is using the Zhou family's name to suppress the multi-divine script lineage, so it seems that the Zhou family is the culprit."
This was the first time Zhu Dizhu had heard Yun Jie's statement. Almost everyone believed that the actions of the Dan Shenwen lineage were at the behest of the Zhou family, or rather, implied by them. This was the view held by many invincible individuals.
However, after Yun Jie said that, Zhu Dizhu also began to think about it. After all, he was not stupid; it was just that no one had thought of it that way.
After recalling the events, Zhu the landlord realized that the Zhou family had not gained any substantial benefits from the actions of the single-divine script lineage against the multi-divine script lineage over the years; on the contrary, they had been smeared with a lot of mud.
Of course, it's not to say that the Great Zhou family is innocent. They chose to let things go and couldn't blame anyone else for being smeared. Everyone assumed that their silence was an admission of consent, so the Dan Shenwen faction desperately tried to use the Zhou family's name.
Moreover, just because the Zhou family didn't do anything doesn't mean that the single-divine script lineage of the Great Zhou Mansion didn't do anything.
After a while, Landlord Zhu said in surprise, "So, Old Zhou really isn't a traitor?"
Yun Jie's eyes flashed. He wasn't surprised that Zhu Dizhu had mentioned the traitor. This was something that almost all the invincibles knew in their hearts, but no one said it because of the impact.
Besides, Ye Batian is already dead, what good would it do to expose the traitor?
The general consensus was that as long as he stopped in time, they could forgive and forget, considering their years of working together.
However, over the years, the "traitors" have continued to make moves, constantly targeting the polytheistic script lineage, and now they have become even more blatant in their actions.
This is something that many people cannot tolerate.

However, Yun Jie hadn't expected that Landlord Zhu would suspect Zhou Tianqi.
But on second thought, it seems there's nothing wrong with it. It appears that the relationship between the Great Xia Prefecture and the Great Zhou Prefecture has deteriorated rapidly because of Zhou Tianyuan's incident.
It doesn't seem unreasonable to say that Zhou Tianqi was seeking revenge against the Great Xia Prefecture for his younger brother's sake, especially since he himself revealed that the Great Zhou Prefecture could create the Sun and Moon Divine Script.
Yun Jie's mind was racing, but only a moment had passed in reality. He replied, "Don't overthink it. Old Zhou couldn't possibly be a traitor."
"why?"
Yun Jie countered, "If he were truly a traitor, would we have discovered him so easily?"
“Uh…” Zhu Dizhu was speechless for a moment. It seemed that it was really true. If Zhou Tianqi was a traitor, how could he have been exposed so easily?
Yun Jie glanced at Zhu Dizhu and said with a smile, "If you're going to have any doubts, at least have some reliable ones."
Landlord Zhu retorted, unconvinced, "Then who do you think it is?"
"Whom do I suspect? I suspect no one."
Yun Jie glanced at Zhu the Landlord indifferently. Do I still need to doubt?
I could tell you right now who the traitor is, but I just won't.
However, Yun Jie did not intend to hide it, nor did he want to keep the Forbidden King around; rather, the evidence was insufficient at present.
The Burning Sea had been waiting for him to slip up, but the Forbidden Heavenly King was too cautious and had not shown his face. Even the Burning Sea did not know who he was.
It will be soon.
Burning Sea could clearly sense that the real traitors were getting anxious, especially since the multi-divine script lineage was reviving and Hong Tan was about to emerge from seclusion. Perhaps once Hong Tan emerged, they would reveal the method of splitting divine scripts.
Therefore, Fen Hai felt that the traitor was not far from revealing his true identity.
On the battlefield of the heavens, Yun Jie and Fen Hai did not communicate at all, not even making eye contact, and there was no indication that they had any connection.
Now, Fen Hai is the "traitor" in the open. If it is discovered that Yun Jie has a connection with him, then in everyone's eyes, Yun Jie is the real traitor.
Landlord Zhu was very dissatisfied with Yun Jie's answer. "Don't you think there's a traitor among us? The matter of Ye Batian is very suspicious."
“There are indeed traitors, but I don’t have any suspects for the time being,” Yun Jie did not deny the existence of traitors.
soon.
Landlord Zhu put the matter of the traitor out of his mind and began to try to get closer to Yun Jie, "Old Yun, what do you think of our friendship?"
Yun Jie felt a headache coming on. He knew this guy was probably up to something again, so he replied casually, "Ah, it's alright."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhu the landlord's face fell. It seemed that all the emotions he had just cultivated had been wasted; Yun Jie was not following the script at all.
"Alright, stop causing trouble and get to the point."
Seeing that Landlord Zhu was about to say something, Yun Jie quickly stopped him.
"Ahem, it's like this, I see that your Great Profound Mansion has quite a few Sun and Moon Realm cultivators, while our Great Ming Mansion only has two or three, which is pitifully few," Zhu the landlord said rather tactfully.
"so what?"
Since you've phrased it so tactfully, I'll pretend I don't understand.
"Old Yun, this is so pointless. Do I really have to spell it out for you?"
"Sorry, I really don't understand what you mean. If you're not going to explain, then don't disturb my cultivation."
Yun Jie immediately issued an order to leave.
Seeing that Yun Jie had no intention of speaking, Landlord Zhu didn't want to make a fool of himself and wisely left.
······
Human realm.
The Great Shang Mansion.
A figure was walking on the road.
He was dressed in a green robe, thin, and his resolute face still carried a trace of youthfulness. He was Shan Xiong, the most outstanding divine script master of the contemporary human realm.
He is now on his way to Da Xuan Mansion to challenge Su Yu.
Not long ago, he received a message from the Great Zhou Civilization Academy, asking him to go and fight Su Yu to see whether the multi-divine script system was stronger or the single-divine script system was superior. Their victory or defeat would determine whether to promote the "Primordial Spirit Script Technique" in the Great Zhou Prefecture and whether to reopen the multi-divine script academy.
On the roadside, a young girl was trying to persuade Shan Xiong, her emotions running high. But Shan Xiong was stubborn and insisted on going. Helpless, Shang Tianjiao had no choice but to accompany Shan Xiong to the Great Xuan Mansion.
Here.
The Great Xuan Mansion also received the news and informed Su Yu. Su Yu readily accepted Shan Xiong's challenge.
He had heard of Shan Xiong's name many times. He was the strongest genius in the single divine script lineage and had defeated many predecessors in the multi-divine script lineage.
"The battle between single and multiple."
Su Yu murmured, lost in thought for a moment.
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "There's no need to feel pressured. You can kill this person if you want, or keep him if you don't."
Zhang Jing was making the Great Xuan Mansion's stance clear: this insignificant Shan Xiong dared to meddle without knowing anything. Since the Great Zhou Mansion insisted on sending him to his death, the Great Xuan Mansion would not be polite.
It's a pity that Shan Xiong, who was a genius, became a victim of factional strife.
That's right, he was a sacrifice. In Zhang Jing's eyes, Shan Xiong had no chance of defeating Su Yu. Only those who had witnessed it firsthand knew how terrifying Su Yu's combat power was. This kid was as monstrous as could be.
Zhang Jing was extremely envious of Zhou Tian's body-forging technique, but unfortunately he had already achieved the first stage and wanted to learn from Su Yu, but it was too late.
With Zhang Jing's assurance, Su Yu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Prefect, I know what I'm doing."
