"Great Mighty Dragon!"
In the midst of dark clouds, the clouds split open.
A beam of golden light suddenly descends.
The voice inside the boudoir, terrified, recognizes it as the "Great Mighty Dragon" from Golden Ray Monastery.
Huff!
Imdiately from within the boudoir, a bizarre woman bursts through the door, rippling with a trendous Divine Soul Power in the void.
The woman’s body visibly shrivels before exploding in front of Households Commander Zuo who was outside the door.
Seeing this, Households Commander Zuo imdiately propped up a dark iron umbrella to shield himself from the exploding limbs. Terrifyingly, these limbs consisted only of human skin and shattered bones, completely devoid of flesh.
His expression is one of fear, "What a demon from Luo Sect."
He had received information from Xu Qing that a demon possessed by a spirit from Luo Sect had infiltrated the Inner Factory. Aware of the formidable existence of such possessed demons, he did not dare to be careless and ca to investigate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he was discovered by the other party.
At this mont, Yan Kong, the abbot from Golden Ray Monastery, also rushed over using the divine skills of the Great Dragon Buddha Temple.
Households Commander Zuo used the strange weapon, a dark iron umbrella, to block the exploding bony limbs, while in the void, a massive Divine Soul Power emitted a sharp screech.
Even with Households Commander Zuo’s abilities, his head felt as if it had been struck by lightning, buzzing loudly.
He dared not underestimate the situation, using the Lao Mountain Internal Heart thod to mobilize his Qi-Blood, rushing towards the top of the skull, dispersing the opponent’s Divine Soul attack. At the sa ti, he bit his tongue, and under the stimulation of his own blood, he exclaid with a thunderous sound, "Audacious devil, to see an Imperial Officer of the Court and still dare to wreak havoc!"
His body erupted with a substantial surge of Dynasty Destiny.
The Divine Soul Power in the void trembled.
"Dog of the Court!" In the void, that Divine Soul Power shook the air, issuing a fierce curse.
At that mont, the splendidly golden Great Mighty Dragon, like a whirlpool, tightened around the shaking Divine Soul Power, influenced by the burst of Dynasty Destiny from Households Commander Zuo.
The Great Mighty Dragon revealed a flaw.
The terrifying Divine Soul Power scattered, and seizing the opportunity, a golden centipede phantom erged, rushing towards the Sky Do.
Households Commander Zuo already had his bow drawn, shooting a Soul-breaking Arrow specifically targeting Divine Soul Experts, tailing and striking the lower body of the golden centipede.
The golden centipede’s Divine Soul scread before quickly dissipating.
"Amitabha." Outside, an old monk walked in.
Households Commander Zuo, feeling embarrassed, said, "Master, I wasn’t targeting you just now."
The old monk was naturally Yan Kong, he smiled slightly, "This Golden Centipede Dharma King is a demon from Luo Sect being possessed; although it’s just a Divine Separation that escaped just now, it should not be underestimated. However, after being hit by Commander Zuo, it definitely isn’t feeling well and likely can’t leave Jiangning Prefecture."
Households Commander Zuo nodded, "Does Master have any way to track this demon’s Divine Soul?"
He had just shaken the Dynasty Destiny, and found that this move wasn’t as effective as before.
It seems, as the elders of Laoshan Shangqing Palace have said, the Destiny of the Great Yu Dynasty is diminishing, and in the days to co, devils from all over will beco increasingly nurous.
"Master said, Your Majesty tried to cultivate using the Great Yu dragon Qi aiming for longevity. But the declining trend of the dynasty is apparent. If we cannot revive Great Yu, we might be overwheld by the dragon Qi, dood beyond redemption."
"Now with the Grand Secretary initiating reforms, it’s indeed a necessary attempt by His Majesty for the Dynasty’s revival. They are currently united as ruler and subject, hoping the reforms will be successful," Households Commander Zuo reflected inwardly.
He indeed hopes for a peaceful and prosperous era across the land, even feeling sowhat grateful to the Chaotian Temple Master who offered this cultivation thod to His Majesty, otherwise, His Majesty definitely wouldn’t be as resolute now in supporting the Grand Secretary’s reform initiatives.
However, his master, the Laoshan Shangqing Palace Master, told him that the rise and fall are naturally ordered by heaven, human efforts are futile and may even worsen the outco, yet he also supported him in descending the mountain for his own sense of justice.
Yan Kong responded, "The power of this demon’s Divine Separation depends on flesh and essence. It has just reached the level of manifestation, but its inherent realm is that of possession, which is beyond my current ability to asure. Thus, I truly cannot track it."
He had just tested the law with his own body and basically concluded that, as rumored, the old Emperor in the Capital, seeking to extract dragon Qi for cultivation, exacerbated the decline of the Great Yu Dynasty, he chuckled...
During the period of the dynasty’s prosperity, it was difficult for ghost immortals to appear, but now it’s hard to say.
Moreover, with the decline of the Dynasty Destiny, various demons, obviously, also have the opportunity to enter the Court and create chaos.
The situation in the world is inevitably taking a sharp downturn.
This also adds extra obstacles to the current reforms.
Yan Kong, fully aware of this, maintained the usual expression on his face.
He then bade farewell to Households Commander Zuo, who had no choice but to let it go. He had recently received commands from above to closely monitor Xu Qing’s actions in Jiangning Prefecture and to carefully docunt everything Xu Qing does there.
However, he was also ordered by his superiors to closely cooperate with any of Xu Qing’s ideas and actions within Jiangning Prefecture.
To guard yet utilize.
This made Households Commander Zuo hesitant to even face Xu Qing.
This was also considered by those above because he has always been close to civil servants and is likely to earn their trust. He also previously had a good relationship with Xu Qing, hence the orders were given.
Of course, it’s not realistic for him to personally monitor Xu Qing day and night; he still relies on his subordinates from the Inner Factory and the Embroidered Guard in Jiangning Prefecture.
Fortunately, according to the intelligence he has obtained so far, everything Xu Qing does is for the people and the nation, which he finds quite appealing.
"He has passed the Top Scorer, capable of joining local gentry and exploiting the locals, yet he does not hesitate to offend these peers, working on behalf of the Court to survey fields and lands; such a pattern and breadth of mind, possibly reminiscent of Zhuge Wu Hou," thought Households Commander Zuo, feeling considerable respect for Xu Qing in his heart.
