In the past, the strongest subordinate state of the Dao, known as the Great Sheng Empire, which horizontally cut across the grassland with one saber, was thoroughly wounded in vitality after a year-long alternating war with the Mu state. Its momentum was greatly diminished.
The title of the so-called "Second Dao Sect" was no longer mentioned by anyone.
It was only after feeling the sharpness of the Mu state's iron cavalry that they deeply recognized the power of the Central Jing state.
Finally, they knew that the hegemonic state was for hegemony, and the world could not contend with it.
Ji Yan Yue's secret visit to Sheng this time was with a task. Her whereabouts were extremely hidden.
Responsible for receiving her was a powerful figure of the Sheng state, a鎮國 (Zhen Guo) strongman, originating from the Great Sheng imperial family, honored as "Xun Wang," whose name was Li Yuan She.
In other words, this was the highest-level secret meeting for the Sheng state.
Throughout the Sheng state, only Xun Wang Li Yuan She, the Sheng Son of Heaven, and the Sheng Empress Dowager knew about this secret meeting process. The importance of this meeting was self-evident.
Ji Yan Yue did not fly horizontally in the air, although as a member of the Jing state's imperial clan, she had the qualification to fly horizontally in the central domain without regard for any forces. However, the secrecy of this trip made her restrain all auras. Like an ordinary person, she sat upright in a carriage.
This was a very ordinary carriage. Everything in the carriage made her uncomfortable.
Although a True Person is not bogged down by things and does not care much about worldly level enjoyment, there is also no need... to suffer in this environment.
Without going through the Sheng state's arrangements, this was a convoy that Ji Yan Yue herself randomly selected. The original owner in the carriage, at this moment curled up in the corner, had already fallen into a coma.
The reason for such caution was not that she would encounter any danger on the way. But "if matters are not secret then harm will occur," this principle did not need anyone to teach.
This trip was so critical. Instead of letting any Yan Dao strongman represent them, they sent her, who had no official position and was always regarded as an idle True Person, in order to try not to attract attention.
For her, closed-door cultivation was a common matter. Sealing the Dao field, no one knew what she was doing. After all, she could be considered the current Son of Heaven's little aunt. Who else dared to deeply enter the mountain gate and spy on privacy?
The destination of this convoy was Li Tian Fu, and the goods being transported were wool. Li Tian Fu had the largest weaving office in the Jing state, undertaking the largest share of clothing business in the Jing state. Between the Jing state and the Sheng state, there was a detailed commercial transport regulation. The cost of transporting wool from the Sheng state to Li Tian Fu was even lower than from the neighboring various fiefs...
Ji Yan Yue did not care about these. What Lu Qiu Wen Yue was rectifying between the various Dao subordinate states, she also did not need to understand.
She just silently calculated how long they had left the Sheng state, how much more time was needed to officially enter the territory of the Jing state. After entering the border of the Jing state, what method should be used to return to the Dao field, which route was appropriate... Such things as people's livelihood and the like were only for those qualified to contend for the great position to care about.
For an imperial clan like her, whose bloodline was already somewhat distant from the Son of Heaven, the goal of birth was cultivation. Imperial power was the common interest of all imperial clans, and self-grasped military force was the foundation to safeguard imperial power.
The road was somewhat bumpy, causing the carriage to move up and down. The expressway directly from the Jing state to the Sheng state was always inexplicably damaged and required major repairs every few months. Clear-eyed people all knew why.
Just as Ji Yan Yue this time representing the Great Jing imperial family to have a secret talk with Li Yuan She did not mean that the interests of the Jing state and the Sheng state were completely consistent.
The Jing state, the Jing state imperial family, the Sheng state, the Sheng state imperial family... these were concepts that could be discussed separately.
Understanding this point, one could not understand the Dao pulse states.
Of course, the Dao gate could also be divided and discussed, for example, the three pulses of the Dao gate, for example...
The carriage body suddenly jolted, the wheels rolled over a broken stone. After rolling down, there was a fragile creaking sound.
Ji Yan Yue immediately captured that the support axle of the carriage's right wheel was faintly cracked, and there was a danger of falling apart... It seemed the car owner bought a defective vehicle.
With a slight movement of her heart, she gathered wood elemental power. Naturally, she would repair the crack. She never thought that one day she, Ji Yan Yue, would also repair a carriage on the expressway— just as she had paid the carriage fee.
But things were not so simple.
Snap.
Before the wood elemental power touched it, the wheel first collapsed.
The high-speed driving carriage instantly flipped sideways!
It was not an accident, nor were there any traces of superhuman power. It was purely with exquisite craftsmanship that the wheel precisely broke at this time. This place had left the Sheng state long ago, far from the Jing state. The strongest force nearby was Qing Ya Academy.
Ji Yan Yue's thoughts were strongly pulled out of the state affairs thinking. In an instant, she saw through everything. For the accidents coming like waves, she had no leisure to appreciate them, nor did she plan to give any opportunity.
Brilliant light pursued the sky and went, Yuan Qi circled like a dragon.
With her as the center, a magnificent world instantly formed.
She sat not on a carriage seat, but on a grand palace, the highest throne.
She wore not ordinary ru skirt, but imperial clan clothing, Great Jing palace dress.
She grasped not Hua Tai Qiong Lou, but earth, wind, water, fire, and the authority of ten thousand generations!
The entire convoy selling wool from the Sheng state to the Jing state, from the merchant team leader to the cargo beasts, all fell into the palace.
Outside the palace gate, divine dragons were passing by. Pieces of golden scales were like mountains, uneven and far, dragon roars moved the nine heavens.
This was precisely the world opened by Ji Yan Yue, named!
Ji surname imperial clan, high above the nine heavens. True destiny is in Jing, ten thousand nations all submit!
Where had the merchant team people seen such a scene? Shocked, they prostrated on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, incoherent.
"Come out." Ji Yan Yue, high on the throne, said indifferently: "Hiding in the mortal team does not count as a hero. Who is the one to deal with this palace? Why not reveal your face to see?"
The merchant team people chattered explanations. They fundamentally did not know what happened, did not recognize who Ji Yan Yue was, and did not know why they came to this place.
Ji Yan Yue bore a heavy responsibility and had no time to waste. So she lifted her hand, a flip of her palm, the power of the boundary pressed into substance, mercilessly crushed down, killing everyone together!
The crowd of the merchant team squeezed into the vast palace had not yet digested the shock of suddenly entering the True Destiny King Realm, and had already forever lost the possibility of digesting emotions.
Beasts were crushed into paste, wool was wet into fluff, human corpses and beast corpses were indistinguishable, broken souls and remnant souls unseen.
And Ji Yan Yue did not find the person lurking in the merchant team.
Could it really be just an accident?
Ji Yan Yue suddenly lifted her eyes, her gaze already penetrated the palace dome, her figure also flew out of the palace,掠 upon the mountains where the divine dragon swam, finally in that burning bright moon, saw a point of green light—
The green color spread at an alarming speed, curse power madly invaded!
The red flame bright moon hung high in the sky, the divine dragon suppressed the six directions. She had been operating this True Destiny King Realm for more than two hundred years.
In this realm, she had absolute authority and also had confidence to face all enemies.
But where exactly did the change occur?
She actually could not remember, and was unaware.
At this moment, the red flame was dyed into a green flame, and bit by bit it dripped down— the bright moon was like a lamp shedding candle tears!
She felt that her own red flame bright moon gave birth to strong self-loathing emotions, wanting to self-destruct in the sky, self-destruct this world. Those dripping green flames were the accumulation of more than two hundred years of the red flame bright moon itself! This emotion affected the entire True Destiny King Realm, and more through this realm, it spread towards the realm master...
She remembered!
In this vivid green color, Ji Yan Yue remembered the person she encountered when the You state changed. That person who subverted the You state's court, released the immortal palace's secret treasure Thousand Tribulations Eye, whose name was Yin Guan.
At that time, Yin Guan said a long paragraph, the last sentence being— "We will meet again. Believe that day will not be long." This wait was just almost six years.
Indeed, not too long.
Confirming the opponent was a good thing!
At least it was not the worst result.
If Yin Guan came for revenge, unrelated to the major event of this trip, then it was even better.
If Yin Guan was hired by someone, bringing Hell No Door to assassinate, that meant the behind-the-scenes instigator still had scruples. This crisis was not a dead end.
Ji Yan Yue's heart turned a thought. She had already cut off the connection with the red flame bright moon, imprisoned it on one side, not letting that self-loathing evil curse power spread.
She flipped her palm again and lifted a bronze palace lamp. With a lift of her gaze, she was about to light the wick.
This lamp was named 懷月 (Huai Yue). It was a palace furnishing when Jing Tai Zu held court, refined with national power, mixed with dragon qi, repeatedly discussed in court, and witnessed the world's winds and clouds. Thus, it had the power to burn mountains and fill seas. Non-Ji surname imperial clan bloodline could not activate it.
The five-color flames between virtual and real leaped up according to her thoughts, stretching into a dragon shape in the air, long chanting and opening their mouths, instantly swallowing the sky full of green flames, not letting the curse power wander.
From the five-color flames, red separated and leaped into a curved moon, hanging in the high sky. For this world, it rekindled the bright moon, continuing the sky lamp!
At this time on the expressway, only a group of twisted blanks were virtually suspended. Ji Yan Yue's True Destiny King Realm was just hidden within it. Things happened suddenly. She still wanted to hide her traces at the first moment, hoping to solve the problem quietly.
The entire merchant team was all 卷 into the True Destiny King Realm, hence the expressway was empty. But at this moment, at the end of the road, two people rode horses towards them, both draped in black robes, their faces covered with masks, engraved with the names Zhuan Lun and Tai Shan.
The two approached and dismounted.
Zhuan Lun Wang took out a red wooden board and stood it in the middle of the expressway. On the wooden board was written a line of big characters in black Jing script—
"Expressway array pattern repairing, comers detour."
The signature was "Central Array Master," and it was also attached with seemingly proper Jing country inscription.
"Do it more like." Zhuan Lun Wang said.
Tai Shan Wang also did not speak, just half-squatted down, palm pressed to the ground— the earth emitted a dull roar, and the expressway thus cracked in front of the warning board.
Looking at the deep gully in front, Zhuan Lun Wang sighed: "Too much like."
He raised his hand and wiped off the two words "array pattern" on the board, turned around, and together with Tai Shan Wang, walked towards the concealed small world of Ji Yan Yue.
The merchant team's carriage was naturally his handiwork, and indeed many mechanisms had not yet been activated. This time, the organization's intelligence was done too well. Although Ji Yan Yue randomly chose the merchant team, at that time, her selection range was all within the organization's arrangements.
These were all some mortal's little tricks. Cultivators accustomed to capturing Dao Yuan fluctuations often easily overlooked these. Of course, they could not cause any harm, but they were enough to pry into subsequent reactions.
Killing was a technical job. Hell No Door researched this every day.
At the other end of the road, Yan Luo Wang and Du Shi Wang, who had done the corresponding work, were walking face to face.
Among them, Du Shi Wang was still placing array disks along the way. Yan Luo Wang then quickly walked to Ji Yan Yue's small world, reached out into the void, and took out a pair of Pai Jiu. But he did not push the cards. Instead, like a child stacking city walls, he stacked them all up, blocking in front of that small world manifested as twisted blank.
Thus, this segment of the expressway, about ten li long, was undergoing repairs in the eyes of mortals, but in the perception of superhuman cultivators, it no longer existed.
After the four Yan Luo met, Du Shi Wang lifted his index finger, squeezed out a drop of fingertip blood, and gently flung it... One drop of blood divided into a hundred and ten drops, illuminating all the array disks along the way.
At this time, precisely in the True Destiny Main Realm, Ji Yan Yue cut off the connection with the red flame bright moon.
Zhuan Lun Wang had already looked left and right for a while. Then, at this just right time, a symbol snake rushed out of his left eye. This snake was entirely composed of tiny symbols, virtually circling in the air, forming a circle.
He seemed to bear ten thousand jun, and with difficulty stretched out his hand, peeled off this "circle," revealing the black dark cave mouth behind!
The cave mouth was still rapidly expanding.
Tai Shan Wang deeply inhaled a breath, extended both hands flat, and lifted upward— his muscles highly bulged, propping open his black robe, qi and blood burned fiercely, blood mist exploded outside his body. With a low roar, he had already lifted this nearly ten li segment of expressway, entirely!
Wonderfully, that group of twisted blanks representing the True Destiny King Realm, as if connected as one with the expressway, also followed the lifting.
This ten li expressway was not heavy; what was truly hard to bear was this piece of space, and even more so, the small world of a contemporary True Person.
With the help of the other several Yan Luo, the new Tai Shan Wang lifted these almost with a life-fighting posture. With another low roar, just like lifting a log or throwing a javelin, he threw it into the cave mouth!
Zhuan Lun Wang's eyes overflowed with blood lines, the black dark cave mouth instantly healed, and the four Yan Luo also disappeared. Nothing was left on the scene; even traces were self-destructed.
The Yan Luo now already knew who the target was, and also completely understood the danger of this trip.
But the killer profession earned money by selling their lives; where did they have the qualification to dislike danger?
Now the only way out was to kill Ji Yan Yue, kill cleanly and neatly.
And the most dangerous thing, the most dangerous person was doing it—
In the True Destiny King Realm, Ji Yan Yue flipped out the Huai Yue Palace Lamp, swallowed the green flames, and opened a new moon. This process was like a physician lancing a sore, a necessary measure to endure pain. It was to shed old troubles and gain new life.
But when she flipped out the bronze palace lamp.
The "meat paste" in the palace, as if gaining a common will, turned into a complex whole, suddenly "moved" up, and constantly expanded!
This strange scene was temporarily seen by no one, but the "meat paste" emitting corpse stench had already practically spread on the ground, climbed on the walls, and smeared the courtyard...
These people and beasts had just died, and already had corpse stench!
The corpses of the entire merchant team's people and beasts added up did not seem to have much flesh and blood, yet they rapidly covered this high and broad palace. They covered the golden magnificence, soiled the rich and splendid, making this majestic place fall into a filthy place!
They were actually all corpses, and they actually performed as living people, able to deceive the eyes of a True Person. What kind of divine ability was this?
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood filled the palace. A blood-colored coffin slowly floated onto the throne.
At this time, Ji Yan Yue, whose body was in the high sky, using the Huai Yue Palace Lamp to burn the curse power, only felt a trace of something wrong.
She felt the something wrong not from that grand palace, but from the sudden strong desire for self-destruction born deep within her heart!
She wanted to die!
She was tired of this ugly world, tired of this weary life, wanted to die once, die to escape!
Ji Yan Yue suddenly awakened. Her hand wrapped in five-color flame light, she grabbed towards her own heart, grabbing out a constantly twisting, snake-like, green line!
That was how thick the curse power was. Her True Person eyes saw that this green line pulled thousands of threads, as if rooted in this Dao body.
At first, she thought that the curse power was invading back from the red flame bright moon to herself. Now, she suddenly realized that her body originally had curse power, had too much curse power—
That was Yin Guan's non-stop cursing for nearly six years in the past!
