The appearance of various anomalies over the Capital made people feel incredulous.
Two arrows pierced through the sky, illuminating the night, whipping up the Heaven and Earth Qi. The power was so strong, almost all cultivators in the Capital had a perception of it. No one expected that the Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun would be blown apart by these two arrows, his body exploding without the power to retaliate, without even the courage to gather more incense and planning to flee scattered.
It was thought that this battle had ended.
Even more shocking was a great fire covering hundreds of miles, burning Wang Qijun clean in one breath.
Even now, the sky is still red, the scorching atmosphere spreads everywhere, even the climate has changed, making the entire Capital feel like it’s suddenly beco mid-sumr, hot enough that people are drenched in sweat.
Inside the Imperial Palace, within Yongchang Hall.
The Emperor, who was disciplining his children, also sensed the change in Heaven and Earth Energy outside. He imdiately stopped speaking, his expression moved slightly, as he walked outside the palace with the stride of a dragon and tiger, his golden vertical pupils discerning the Heaven and Earth Qi, his expression involuntarily moved.
"Roar!"
Behind him, a black fierce tiger stirred up a whirlwind, also rushing out of the palace. Its entire body bristled, crouching and low growling, with a strong sense of agitation and unease.
"Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun... died?" The Emperor’s originally expressionless face now couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
The God of Incense, the most difficult to kill, he knew.
Especially the Guardian General, who had gone through twelve dynasties, guarding the Capital for hundreds of years, with incense so prosperous and deep in legacy, it’s unimaginable. It could be said that near the Capital, it ranks second only to the Yin Emperor. For such a god, he would have to first convict it, strip its divine status, and then execute it, otherwise it would be difficult to root it out.
Because as long as there is still its divine statue in this world, as long as soone worships, with a trace of soul power, the Guardian General can quickly recover.
Though he wanted to move against these Guardian Generals, the current situation was not yet ripe. He still needed to use these Guardian Generals to eliminate spirit monsters and quell insubordinate subjects.
"The cultivation trend on Earth has flourished to this extent? Such spells cannot be cast by ordinary people, it seems like the culmination of a certain cultivation world." The Emperor sensed the change in Heaven and Earth Energy, unable to suppress his amazent at the Wind Summoning Technique, carefully appreciating it, feeling the spell’s profoundness more and more.
If one mastered such spells, it was completely possible to win with weakness, overco with few, and kill enemies of higher tiers.
"Father, Father Emperor, it’s Taoyi Taoist casting spells. Your son has seen his spells, swallowing Heaven and Earth Qi, spitting out fiery breath, covering a city in an instant, turning night into day, turning winter into midsumr..." At this mont, Prince Xin hurriedly followed out, speaking urgently when he saw the vast sky-fire in the distance.
This Taoyi Taoist is indeed arrogant, daring to cast spells in the heavy land of the Capital.
"Your Majesty, Jinyi Guard Commander Lu Bin reports."
At this mont, a Jinyi Guard hurriedly ca, soaking wet and injured, yet even so, didn’t dare delay a mont, went straight into the Imperial Palace, but was blocked by the Golden Eyes Guard at the side.
"Let him co over." The Emperor waved his hand.
Jinyi Guard Commander Lu Bin quickly took a few steps forward, then kneeled on one knee and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Taoyi Taoist refuses to enter the palace to see you, and then Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun suddenly appeared at Xiang Lake, fiercely battling Taoyi Taoist for incense fight, your subordinate is incompetent, unable to stop it, please forgive ."
The Emperor said nothing, only continued to gaze at the distance, suddenly he chuckled silently: "Looks like he wants to go et him. The palace is strictly guarded, the Dragon and Tiger Energy is the heaviest; it affects cultivators the most. If reckless personally, encountering danger, afraid it’s difficult to escape... Yes, indeed cautious, no wonder he can seek survival across worlds."
"Lu Bin, you withdraw to rest, this matter is not your fault. Such a battle of immortals and gods, with your cultivation involved would be tantamount to seeking death."
He waved his hand, gesturing for Commander Lu Bin to retreat.
"Rui’er, you stay in Yongchang Hall. If soone cos to visit, you may send Lord Black Mountain to expel them. Apart from the Golden Eyes Guard and Princess Consort De, do not let anyone enter or leave my bedroom." With that said, the Emperor slowly levitated, flying into the clouds, and then disappeared in an instant.
"How could this be..."
Prince Xin, who was just about to accept the order, widened his eyes at this mont.
He couldn’t imagine when Father Emperor already possessed such cultivation.
In previous dynasties, Emperors, burdened with national fortune, weren’t they unable to ask about cultivation until after death, enjoying incense offerings, becoming the Yin Emperor?
"Prince Xin, the palace is strictly guarded, not shouting loudly." At this mont, Golden Eyes Guard Wang Ning suddenly reminded.
The Emperor’s successful cultivation is known to the high-ranking mbers of the Golden Eyes Guard and Jinyi Guard.
So far, this news remains a secret, so tightly concealed, hence until now no rumors have spread, which is also why the Emperor, after ascending the throne, spends more and more ti staying in the bedroom, living deeply and simply.
Prince Xin hurriedly shut his mouth, fearing his loud voice might leak so secret.
"This King returns to Yongchang Hall." Without hesitation, he turned and entered Yongchang Hall imdiately.
He understood in his heart.
Tonight, his duty is to pretend to be Father Emperor, letting others know the Emperor is still in the palace and has not left, while Lord Black Mountain and Golden Eyes Guard are the reliance Father Emperor left for him.
And in the Capital.
After the battle was quickly resolved, Li Yi’s gaze swept in all directions, and wherever it passed, everything fell silent.
The eyes that were watching him all retracted one by one at this mont, and the other few Divine Generals who were originally preparing to reveal themselves also quickly left, not getting involved in this dispute. Other spirit monsters avoided it like the plague.
One National Guardian General was already defeated; who would dare provoke this newly arrived Taiyi Immortal in the Capital?
"Just as I imagined, only a swift resolution can intimidate the enemy." Li Yi slightly sighed in relief at this mont. Although he seed to have won easily, he actually used all his ans.
Without the Divine Bow and Divine Arrow in his hands, he couldn’t have taken down that National Guardian General.
After all, even two arrows did not kill it. If the fight dragged on, his dominance would no longer exist, inevitably leading to unforeseen changes.
Besides, Li Yi didn’t intend to leave this area.
Here his Daoist skills had minimal impact, but it would be a different story elsewhere.
Looking around at the devastation, the collapsed houses.
Li Yi didn’t say much. He simply pointed with his hand and used the House Building Skill.
In an instant, stone houses rose from the ground. While not exquisite, they were solid and durable, surviving a hundred years without falling.
As the river flowed backward, he remotely grabbed a painted boat stranded on the street and tossed it into the lake, before descending from the sky to land inside the boat, sitting with his eyes closed, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Qi to restore the mana he had previously consud.
The Jinyi Guards nearby, soaked by the lake water, now erged from their hiding places, still not over their shock, their expressions extrely grave as they looked at the painted boat still illuminated at the center of the lake.
"Evacuate the civilians from this area imdiately. No one is allowed within three miles of this place." A Jinyi Guard Commander observed for a mont and then imdiately issued an order.
This fearso Daoist should absolutely not be provoked, especially since there was an imperial decree earlier to invite this Daoist to the palace. Since the Daoist rejected the Holy Decree, who knows what will happen next. All he could do was ensure the area was sealed off to prevent rumors from spreading and unsettling people’s hearts.
However, at this mont, Li Yi inside the painted boat was quite surprised.
Because he felt an increasingly large power of Incense Fire Belief converging towards him.
Apparently, this Incense Fire Belief was due to the battle earlier.
He showcased his Daoist skills and defeated the National Guardian General, and as the news spread, his title as a Taiyi Immortal was inevitable. As the belief gathered, he could attract the Incense Fire Belief of all without even needing worship.
"With so much Incense Fire Belief Power, I can easily open the twenty-four major acupoints." Li Yi was sowhat pleased, considering it an unexpected gain.
But just as he was about to use this Incense Fire Power for cultivation.
Suddenly, his expression changed, looking in a certain direction.
A powerful aura was rapidly approaching.
The aura harmonized with the world, like a dragon or tiger, the abundance of incense like a great sun rising in the dark night. Besides, Li Yi also sensed a vigorous and exuberant Qi-Blood Life Force, which indicated that the other party was not an Incense Fire God, but a highly skilled cultivator with extrely strong power.
"Who could it be?"
Li Yi imdiately beca cautious. He didn’t expect such a character to be hidden in this world where one becos a God through Incense Fire.
Soon.
That person swayed and landed on the bow of the boat.
This was a middle-aged man about thirty-sothing, strikingly handso and imposing, his golden vertical pupils shining with light, wearing a black and gold Gun Robe, exuding an Emperor’s Aura that shot to the sky. He did not seem like a cultivator, but more like an emperor.
However, this person... Li Yi didn’t recognize.
But while Li Yi scrutinized him, the middle-aged man also scrutinized Li Yi.
Seeing Li Yi wearing Red Jade Purple Gold Armor and holding the Divine Bow, full of heroic spirit and divine deanor, like a Heavenly God descending, this Emperor from the Imperial Palace revealed a bit of amazent in his eyes as he looked at the sowhat unfamiliar yet familiar face, unconsciously overlapping it with the child in his mory.
"Who are you?" Li Yi calmly inquired, ready to act at any mont.
As long as the other party showed a hint of malice, his Wujin Divine Arrow from the Five Elents Bracelet would imdiately be used.
"I am the current Emperor, and also your father, Yi. It’s been a long ti, I never thought one day I’d see you here," this man spoke with so emotion.
But Li Yi remained on guard: "I could say I’m your father too. Just a sentence and you think you can claim kinship? Tell , what’s your na?"
The man couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed: "My na is Li Jiye, that’s the na I had on Earth, which you know, but in this world, I also have another na, Zhao Chengqian."
