Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Li Yi, the National Guardian General Zhang Jiantong had no doubt that if this Daoist before him really started a fight, he truly had the ability to destroy the Capital City. Although the final result would certainly be the death and disappearance of this Daoist, the cost would definitely be heavy.
As an Incense Fire God, his image must not collapse. Once the people see that the National Guardian General cannot safeguard the Capital City, his end would be extrely tragic.
For a mont.
The National Guardian General Zhang Jiantong hesitated, even afraid to provoke the Daoist before him with harsh words, for fear that things would develop in the worst direction.
"Daoist, do you really not fear death by saying this? This is the Capital City, after all, and there are three National Guardian Generals who have not shown up yet, not to ntion the various princes, and the Yin Emperors of past dynasties are still present. If you dare to make a move, you would be the enemy of the entire nation. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will surely die."
Zhang Jiantong seriously said, "I advise you to behave yourself and not go astray."
Li Yi responded with a smile upon hearing this, "I, as a poor Daoist, pulling an entire dynasty to be buried with is not a losing deal. However, whether to make a move does not depend on but on you."
"If the National Guardian General is willing to let it go, allowing to enter and exit the Capital City freely, I certainly won’t act rashly. But if you insist on obstructing, I don’t mind turning my previous words into reality. Well, that’s all I have to say; please, National Guardian General."
He no longer paid attention, stepping on red Xiangyun, carrying Prince Xin and himself, bypassed this Incense Fire God before him, and continued to fly toward the Capital City.
If this National Guardian General dared to obstruct again, Li Yi would definitely start a battle here, regardless of whether he could win or not. At least he would make the opponent suffer the cost of making a move.
At this mont, Zhang Jiantong’s figure floated in the green smoke, his eyes flickered uncertainly, watching Li Yi boldly carry Prince Xin directly into the Capital City. He imdiately felt his face lost honor, but he dared not make a move. Otherwise, if a great battle erupted, the cost was indeed too much for him to bear, unless he could instantly kill this Daoist to prevent him from using his spells to destroy the city.
Only... looking at that Red Feather Purple Gold Armor, and the Divine Wood Great Bow in his hands.
Zhang Jiantong felt he could not instantly kill him, and it would likely take a prolonged battle to take him down.
"That Daoist understands the Incense Fire God extrely well, imdiately seeing through the Incense Fire God’s weaknesses. If a prolonged battle really happened, this Daoist would definitely attack this general’s divine statue. Once the statue is destroyed, the Incense Fire Belief collapses, and this general’s strength will be greatly reduced. At that ti, it is not certain that I could win against that Daoist, instead, he might even kill ."
Afterward, he felt apprehensive again.
"Forget it, just let him enter the Capital City. Although this Daoist is dangerous, once in the Capital City, he will likely restrain himself and not cause any major trouble. Otherwise, he absolutely cannot leave the Capital City alive."
Zhang Jiantong thought for a mont and could only choose to compromise, watching Li Yi head toward the Capital City.
"The National Guardian General actually let him pass?"
Prince Xin was shocked at this mont. In his impression, Zhang Jiantong, as one of the Southern Guardian Generals, was fair and impartial, hating evil like an enemy, and loyal. The ghost monsters intercepted by him had no good outcos.
Unexpectedly, he chose to bend the law today.
Li Yi calmly said, "He can only let pass; there is no other choice. The flaws of Incense Fire God are too great, and his strength relies entirely on the beliefs of the masses, unlike my great power rooted in myself, allowing to act without restrain. Moreover, he cannot afford the cost of making a move; no matter how strong he is, he can only stare blankly."
Without the obstruction of the National Guardian General.
He quickly brought Prince Xin to the skies above the Capital City.
As soon as they entered the Capital City, Li Yi felt an inexplicable oppression, as if his mana was shackled and quite constrained, also, performing the Cloud Soaring Technique seed like carrying a mountain, feeling extrely heavy, had to quickly descend from high in the sky to reduce the consumption of mana.
"Is it due to that Dragon and Tiger Energy?"
Li Yi looked up at the True Dragon Qi that enveloped the sky.
The beliefs of all the people of the country, coupled with the convergence of countless amounts of nature’s spiritual energy, caused this True Dragon that symbolized the fortunes of the dynasty to possess enormous Divine power. Its strength is probably not inferior to a strong figure of the Tri-Floral Realm, but the dragon qi, with form but no spirit, could only passively protect the Capital City and couldn’t actively manifest to kill strong foes.
Such a vast amount of Incense Fire Belief only to be wasted in vain, if truly utilized properly, with the power of the entire nation, it could indeed produce a genuine deity.
"The power of Incense Fire Belief combined with the fortunes of the dynasty can even affect Daoist Skills, unbelievably incredible."
Li Yi found that the closer he got to the depths of the Capital City, the heavier the invisible shackles on his mana beca. Though it was not to the point of rendering his Daoist Skills useless, their power was greatly reduced.
However, his Martial Arts and the Dragon and Tiger Power within his body were unaffected.
It seems that dual cultivation is indeed beneficial.
"If even I, a cultivator, am severely affected, those Incense Fire Gods probably wouldn’t fare much better either. They also cannot enter the core area of the Capital City; otherwise, they would likewise be suppressed by the national fortune and be powerless, so I am reassured."
At this mont, finding the Cloud Soaring Technique difficult to perform, he simply didn’t use it, directly descending straight from mid-air.
Soon, he and Prince Xin openly landed on a broad avenue.
The surroundings were brightly lit, and passersby ca and went continuously.
They saw Li Yi, this Daoist, arriving on a red cloud and were not afraid; instead, they were excited and thrilled.
"Look, quickly look, an Immortal is riding a Xiangyun to the Capital."
"It’s truly an Immortal; I saw him drift down from the sky with my own eyes."
"Immortal, I am a wealthy rchant of the Capital, and my family has so riches. I invite the Immortal to my mansion; I am willing to offer ten thousand gold." Soone had already slled a chance for fortune and shouted madly at Li Yi.
"How could a re rchant dare to serve the Immortal? My father is the current Minister, willing to invite the Immortal into our residence." Said a richly dressed man walking up solemnly and respectfully bowing.
Li Yi didn’t pay attention, and before he even landed for a mont, he was already surrounded by people, n and won, young and old; all had an inexplicable excitent on their faces, like they’d seen sothing extraordinary.
Nearby, Prince Xin explained, "In the Capital, the trend of seeking Immortals and Dao is heavy, and any Daoist who knows so Spells is pursued and treated well. The Daoist treading the red Xiangyun descending from the heavens is akin to the Immortal, and now that people see him, naturally they’ll flock."
"I see," Li Yi understood.
However, in this Capital, where Dragon Qi encompasses the region, ordinary Daoists can’t perform Spells. This invisibly screens out a large batch of imposters and inexperienced Daoists; only those truly capable and skillful can show a trick or two here. These types would naturally be stronger outside the Capital.
Prince Xin said, "I have a residence in the Capital. The Daoist wants to locate soone and needs a place to settle. Why not first co to my residence?"
Li Yi glanced at him, "You want to delay?"
"I wouldn’t dare,"
Prince Xin promptly said, "It’s just that now, at the middle of the night, the Daoist has co from far-off Xinzhou, where can one find people so quickly? The Capital is so vast, stretching three hundred Baili; even riding a horse takes several days. Daoist, settle down first, and in the anti, I’ll contact old acquaintances and send people to inquire. When the person is found, arrange a eting for the Daoist."
"I don’t trust your words. The lyricist is in the Capital; they must have a residence, just take there." Li Yi said, then directly grabbed his hand and strode forward.
"Immortal, Immortal, please grant so money. A few years ago, I borrowed heavily to buy a mansion in the Capital, but now, I can’t repay the interest. I hope the Immortal can help clear my debts; I would be incredibly grateful." Soone blocked Li Yi’s path, knelt, and pleaded tearfully.
Li Yi heard this, his face turned dark. Goodness, you financed a house and can’t repay the mortgage, asking to help?
He initially wanted to refuse but considered that his Immortal identity might help gather Incense Fire Belief. So, with a tryout ntality, he said directly, "I’m going to teach you a thod. You can use your current house as collateral at the money shop, take out a sum, buy another house, then use the second set to secure another credit at the money shop, and purchase a third house. By doing this repeatedly, you soon will hold countless properties."
Upon hearing this, the person shuddered, sowhat terrified, and said, "Immortal, if that’s the case, wouldn’t I incur even more debt? For one house, I need to labor tirelessly for fifty years; if several more co, I fear I could never repay the debts in my lifeti."
"Foolish, the Capital spans three hundred Baili, and houses are limited. If you buy more, their prices will naturally rise. By then, you sell the first house at twice or thrice its earlier price, and using this money, repay subsequent debts. Repeating like this, you’ll soon own vast wealth." Li Yi said.
As soon as these words were out, many nearby were collectively shocked.
Can it be played this way?
But on second thought, it seems... it can indeed.
That person hearing this, imdiately enlightened, his face flushed with excitent. He knelt and hurriedly kowtowed a few tis.
"Immortal, great favor, imnse virtue, I will never forget. Please tell your na; should I amass wealth, I shall worship you for generations," This person excitedly got up to leave, but after a few steps, he knelt and bowed again.
Li Yi said, "I am the Daoist Taiyi. Go forth, if you achieve prosperity, do good deeds and abstain from evil."
"I will heed Taiyi Immortal’s teachings." The person finally left with thrilled feelings, almost fleeing.
Others witnessing this also awoke.
If he can do this, why can’t I?
In an instant.
Twenty-so people surrounding left, clearing the scene.
Seeing the path clear, Li Yi continued dragging Prince Xin forward.
Prince Xin wished desperately to stall but could only sigh helplessly.
"Immortal, I’m already thirty-eight years old, still unmarried. Could the Immortal foretell where my marriage lies?" Then soone else knelt in front of Li Yi, blocked his way, persistently bowing and pleading. That person was short and ugly, naturally not attractive to won.
You bring such qualities, aren’t you making things hard for Mr. Li?
But Li Yi nonetheless thought for a mont and said, "Leave the Capital heading south, pass the desolate temples, frequently give offerings and worship, perhaps a marriage will arrive."
Since you cannot find a living wife, go seek spirit monsters; they may not disdain your appearance.
