Your Majesty, you don't want your secret to be known.

At most, you can renovate your Taoist temple. It is far from enough to build a spiritual and blessed place.

But the white-clothed Yin spirit brought him thousands of Yin spirits, enough to build a spiritual paradise.

Anyway, there is no one left in the Fang family, and the spiritual land under their name will most likely be left unfinished.

At that time, he would find a way to take over the unfinished spiritual lands of the Fang family. This would serve as a fulcrum for leveraging the spiritual land business of the Tianquan Sect.

However, Chen Hong refused without even thinking about it.

"You promised me that you would let me return to Jiangdu County in the future."

Li Yunshu explained patiently.

"I can bring Jiang Wenzheng to the capital. You don't have to stay in Jiangdu County."

Chen Hong still shook her head.

"Li Yunshu, not everyone likes to live in this prosperous capital."

thump—

Chen Hong's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Yunshu's chest.

He was in a daze and didn't say another word.

Yes, I used to have so much to bear in the first-tier cities, and was overwhelmed by the pressure of life.

Isn’t what you most desire to do to return to a small county town and no longer live such a tiring life?

Now, why has it changed?

After a while, Li Yunshu's eyes became firm. He looked at Chen Hong and spoke slowly.

"Do you know what freedom is?"

Chen Hong answered without hesitation.

"Do whatever you want."

"No, the real freedom is that I don't do what I don't want to do, and no one and nothing can shake me."

Li Yunshu paused with the soul flag in his hand pointing to the ground and continued.

"Even if I let you go back to Jiangdu County in the future, can you guarantee that you won't be taken in by someone else?"

This time, it was Chen Hong who fell into deep thought.

The reason why she left Jiangdu County was because she was taken into Bai Lang's Soul Banner.

And what Li Yunshu said was not wrong, even if she were asked to return to Jiangdu County now.

With his current strength as a ghost, he is afraid that he cannot even leave the capital, let alone meet Jiang Lang.

Even if I return to Jiangdu County like this, my spirit body will gradually dissipate as time goes by.

She absolutely could not absorb Jiang Lang's pure yang energy.

But once he absorbs the pure yang energy of other mortals, if it alarms the government or even the people from the Suppression Department, will he still be able to live in peace?

Thinking of this, Chen Hong's heart was shaken.

Looking at Chen Hong who was lost in thought, Li Yunshu raised his leg and stepped onto the steps of the Sanqing Temple.

"You just have to climb up step by step until you reach the top."

He walked to the entrance of Sanqing Hall, turned around and continued.

"You will be free."

He didn't say this just to keep Chen Hong in the capital, but this is the reality.

This world of cultivating immortals is even more cruel than the modern world.

If you don't move forward, you will regress. If you want stability, there will always be people who don't want you to have stability, like Zhao Yi.

If Zhao Yi hadn't wanted to occupy this Taoist temple, he wouldn't have caused the series of events that followed.

Chen Hong was in a trance, muttering.

"Let me be quiet for a while and think about it."

Having said everything that needed to be said, Li Yunshu said no more. Instead, he turned around and looked in the direction of the imperial palace.

Even if he chose An Yi now, Zhao Youde would not give him this opportunity.

What's more, he now relies entirely on the Empress.

No one in a high position would like a useless person. If the empress finds out that he has no value in the future, I'm afraid she won't protect him like she does now.

Weiyang Palace.

The empress stood in front of Fenglin Palace and looked towards Jingming Temple.

I murmured in my heart: How on earth did he ascend to heaven?

……

The next day.

Li Yunshu went to Zhenyisi early in the morning to ask for leave. When he left Zhenyisi, he had transformed into Zhao Qian's appearance.

After all, there is a Zhao Youde who is watching closely in the dark.

With the empress in the capital, Zhao Youde did not dare to take action.

Once you leave the capital, I don’t know if shouting “Empress, help me” will be of any use.

So, it’s better to be safe.

After walking out of the city gate, Li Yunshu looked back again.

He had never left the capital before, and this was his first time traveling far away.

……

Zhao Mansion.

After sending the master away, Zhao Youde slumped in the chair in the study, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Li Yunshu dumped so many corpses in his mansion, causing panic among everyone in the mansion.

After cleaning up the corpses, he invited monks from the Galan Temple to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters.

He was sitting alone in the study, still immersed in the grief of losing his son, when Mrs. Zhao rushed in with red eyes.

Seeing him sitting there in a daze, Mrs. Zhao burst into tears.

"Xun'er was killed by that Li Yunshu, and you're just sitting here doing nothing?"

When Zhao Youde saw his wife, he felt a headache.

Both of his sons died at the hands of Li Yunshu. Doesn’t he want revenge?

But in the capital, the empress has already helped Li Yunshu twice, what else can he do?

Now the entire Zhao Mansion was in a state of panic due to Li Yunshu, and he could only break his teeth and swallow it.

Sometimes, he felt a little regretful when he thought about it.

If Zhao Yi had not disturbed the dilapidated Taoist temple Jingming Temple and had not provoked that evil star, so many things would not have happened.

Mrs. Zhao was talking about something that was not relevant. She pulled Zhao Youde's sleeve and cried.

"It's all because of that little bitch you raised outside. Her son died and she implicated my Xun'er."

She always turned a blind eye to the fact that Zhao Youde had a mistress outside.

Zhao Yi was in charge of the business of Lingqi Blessed Land and had a relationship with Tianquan Sect. She, the principal wife, had nothing to say except sighing that her son was not living up to expectations.

I originally thought that it would be nice for my son to live a peaceful and stable life as a rich young man.

Who could have thought that Zhao Yi would drag her Xun'er down with her even when she died.

Snapped!

Zhao Youde picked up the teacup on the table and threw it heavily to the ground.

"do not Cry!"

Mrs. Zhao shuddered and then stopped crying.

At this time, the housekeeper walked in cautiously.

"Sir, madam."

Mrs. Zhao took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from her face, and then turned to look aside.

Zhao Youde looked at the housekeeper with a gloomy and sharp look.

"what's up?"

"Master, someone from the Stunning Department said that Li Yunshu has requested a long vacation."

"What?" Zhao Youde stood up immediately after hearing the news about Li Yunshu. "What is he going to do on this long vacation?"

"Li Yunshu said it was an errand ordered by His Majesty, but he didn't say what it was specifically about." After a pause, the butler continued, "I just went to Jingming to check, but there was no one there."

Zhao Youde thought for a moment and then spoke.

"You mean to say that he might have left the capital?"

The butler nodded.

"Probably."

Zhao Youde rolled his eyes and then gave the order.

"Tell this to Elder Cui, and have him secretly contact the Night Evil assassin and offer a large reward for Li Yunshu's head."

Chapter 32 Undercover [Two chapters in one]

Tianquan Sect.

As a melodious bell sound echoed through the mountains, Li Yunshu was already standing in front of the mountain gate of Tianquan Sect.

He looked up and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a first-rate sect.
