Chapter 295: Destiny Returns
Before today, the existence of the Supreme Daozi had not yet been determined, and even the upper echelons of the imperial capital only had half-doubts about it.
After all, under the erosion of ten thousand years of time, not even the powerful people in the fairyland can safely survive several periods of spiritual energy depletion, let alone the supreme Taoist ten thousand years ago who have never reached the realm of immortals.
And even if the Supreme Taoist truly achieves the Earthly Immortal Way after being able to master heaven and earth, it will be difficult to walk freely in this world with incomplete rules of heaven and earth. The rumors about the Supreme Taoist are too ridiculous in the eyes of many powerful people.
And just today, as the blazing dragon-coloured chariot drove into the imperial capital, all the feudal officials, the wealthy families of the prefectures and counties, and even the Qin Tianjian came to visit in person.
This phenomenon completely confirms the existence of the Supreme Taoist Son.
Moreover, someone combined with these visiting officials from the frontiers and wealthy families from the prefectures and counties to connect the past floods in Qingzhou, the demon riots in Yunfu, the Cangzhou Taoism Conference, and the ancient forbidden land in Beimang Mountain.
Everyone was surprised to find that the Supreme Taoist walking in the world was involved in so many major events, and some of them were even enough to shake the structure of the Great Xia court.
The supreme Taoist master's cultivation and methods have far exceeded everyone's imagination.
And in the process, they also connected the Luoyun Sect, which once suppressed the Taoist Conference, with the sect where the supreme Taoist disciple was, and confirmed that Gong Buyu, who single-handedly suppressed the four great geniuses, was the Supreme Taoist sect. Daozi's personal disciple.
Du Yuan looked solemn, but Zhou Heng on the side was completely dumbfounded.
He just followed the prince's order and provided convenience for the current struggle between the true successor of the sect and the genius of the imperial capital to destroy Wuxuan Pavilion.
After learning that Gong Buyu had calmed down the incident, he wanted to suppress Gong Buyu in order to show his favor to the prince. Who would have thought that a fairy's daughter would be involved.
Even if the current world cannot support the birth of immortals, immortals are still immortals, and their words and deeds can represent the blessed land of Rongcheng Dayutian, and can even affect the decisions of the entire sect world.
He was a mere patrol envoy who was considered a figure in Didufang City, but he could not even be considered an ant in front of an immortal. Daxia would never disparage an immortal's face because of him.
Especially after seeing Jingzhao Yin Du Yuan's expression become hesitant after learning Gong Buyu's identity, Zhou Heng became even more aware of his dangerous situation.
"I broke the rules by taking action at will regardless of the rules. The court has no reason to deal with this matter, especially when there is an immortal standing behind the other party.
Mr. Du is probably already thinking about how to give in at this moment. Once I make a choice, my life will definitely be in danger! "
"I have to find a way to protect myself!"
With thoughts flowing in his mind, Zhou Heng quickly spoke loudly:
"Even if he is Rongcheng Dayutian's little patriarch, so what if he is the only daughter of an immortal?
This is Daxia, the imperial capital!
She acted recklessly and acted recklessly in the city, and even severely injured the patrol officer. She already regarded the laws of Daxia as nothing, how could she let such a madman off easily? "
In Wuxuan Pavilion, Xia Yunqiu, who was originally surprised by Gong Buyu's identity, changed her expression again at this moment.
"not good!"
Zhou Heng's words were full of provocation, directly linking his severe injury to the laws of Daxia and the face of the imperial court.
At this moment, most of the onlookers in the Imperial City were Daxia practitioners, and they had no idea of the causes and consequences. They all responded to these words.
"well said!"
"What about immortals? This is the imperial capital, not a place where people from the sect can run wild."
"Your Majesty is about to re-establish the city gods and establish the incense law domain. They are all just caves and can be destroyed with a snap of the finger."
"Violating the laws of Daxia must be severely punished!"
Many onlookers were excited. Du Yuan, who was originally shocked by Gong Buyu's identity, suddenly changed his eyes and looked coldly at Zhou Heng, whose limbs were cut off. The oppression at the level of his soul made Zhou Heng feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
Of course, Du Yuan could see Zhou Heng's little thoughts and wanted to guide public opinion and turn the whole matter into a major matter involving the court's laws and face, forcing the court to stand on the opposite side of Gong Buyu.
As long as this matter changes from a public vendetta to a major matter involving court laws, Zhou Heng will have a chance to save his life.
Feeling the emotional changes of fear and joy in Zhou Heng's heart, Jingzhao Yin Du Yuan felt a sneer in his heart.
If faced with other descendants of immortals, the Daxia court might really be able to let Zhou Heng succeed due to its own majesty.
But the identity of Gong Buyu in front of him is fundamentally different from that of ordinary descendants of immortals.
The reason for all this is naturally the supreme Taoist behind Gong Buyu.
Thinking of this, Du Yuan's eyes flashed with fear.
A few hours ago, the existence of the Supreme Daozi was completely confirmed, which reminded many officials and dignitaries of a major event that happened a year ago.
At that time, because the fifth prince wanted to interfere in the Cangzhou Taoism Conference, he teamed up with Yan Taichang, the leader of the nine ministers, to spread the word of Yinghuo Shouxin, claiming that a demon god Yinghuo was born in the three states of the southern region, but his majesty was furious.
Qin Tianjian Zheng even used Yan Taichang and the fifth prince to secretly deal with the envoys of Yingzhou in an attempt to seize the emperor of Taishan Mansion, Fu Zhao, and throw him into the dust.
The five princes who had the ability to compete for the throne were sentenced to death. Yan Taichang, the leader of the Nine Qings, was thrown into a prison and committed suicide. All his relatives were executed. This was the most widely involved case in the court in recent decades.
Everyone knew that no matter how stupid the fifth prince and Yan Taichang were, they would not be able to trade the Taishan Prefecture's Fu Zhao with the Yingzhou envoy.
Although the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was the second most important person in the court of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was impossible for him to casually frame a prince who had the potential to compete for the throne. There must be the instruction of Emperor Xia behind this.
At that time, all the ministers had doubts in their hearts, why Emperor Xia would attack the fifth prince, and even secretly spread a lot of conspiracy theories of mutual destruction.
And just today, after it was confirmed that the Supreme Taoist was involved in many events in the three states of the Southern Region, all the ministers and dignitaries suddenly realized that the reason why Emperor Xia attacked the fifth prince was very likely related to the Supreme Taoist.
The Supreme Taoist was involved in many things in the Southern Region, and the Fifth Prince took the opportunity to promote the demon god of Mars, which was very likely to cause the Supreme Taoist to be dissatisfied with the Great Xia Dynasty.
In order to completely eliminate the possible malice of the Supreme Taoist towards the court, Emperor Xia did not hesitate to execute the Fifth Prince, and killed all the court officials involved in this world, and completely eliminated the hidden dangers.
The dignified Emperor Xia would actually kill his own offspring because of the possible hostility of the Supreme Daoist, which made all the dignitaries who knew the inside story feel an indescribable absurdity.
But after bringing themselves into it, everyone was surprised to find that this was the only option that could calm the incident to the greatest extent.
The Supreme Daoist was a living immortal who could walk in the world and had the ability to subvert the situation in Daxia. Even Emperor Xia had to be cautious.
They had never known the Supreme Daoist and could not pin everything on the Supreme Daoist's gentle temperament and indifference to these rumors.
Once the Supreme Daoist had malice towards the Daxia court because of these rumors, it would cause irreparable losses. In this way, it seemed natural to solve the source of the rumors.
All the dignitaries were deeply shocked by the inside story behind this matter, and Du Yuan, the Jingzhao Yin who was higher than the nine ministers, was no exception.
With the matter of the fifth prince in front of him, he naturally had to make a choice at the moment.
Du Yuan looked deeply at Gong Buyu, who was as cold as the fairy of the Moon Palace, and his voice was like thunder in the imperial capital market.
"Silence!"
As if the heaven and earth were roaring, a powerful pressure instantly descended on this place, and the angry discussions of the crowd stopped abruptly.
Du Yuan swept his eyes across all the people present, and said in a majestic voice:
"Today's incident was caused by several sect disciples and the imperial capital's Tianjiao violating the rules of the market and fighting in Wuxuan Pavilion.
It is reasonable for Fairy Gong to suppress the Tianjiao and calm the incident."
"As the inspector of the imperial capital market, Zhou Heng secretly colluded with others to reverse right and wrong and tried to obstruct my judgment.
In the name of Jingzhao Yin, I will remove Zhou Heng from his position as inspector and wait for him to be detained in the sky prison before interrogating him!"
As the words fell, the Jingzhao Yin seal in Du Yuan's hand appeared, and all the dynasty luck on Zhou Heng was removed.
Without the blessing of the dynasty's luck, even though he was in the imperial city, Zhou Heng could no longer mobilize any array power, and was just a severely injured Qi training cultivator.
Zhou Heng's eyes widened. He never thought that Du Yuan would forcibly deal with him regardless of the face of the Great Xia court.
He tried to shout loudly, but an invisible force fell on him, blocking his ability to speak.
The surrounding cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. Zhou Heng and Du Yuan's completely different attitudes made it difficult for them to understand what was going on.
Du Yuan ignored the doubts in everyone's hearts. He held the Jingzhao Yin seal and unfrozen the 72 armored soldiers, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Take Zhou Heng to the sky prison and wait for his fate."
The soldiers stepped forward to capture Zhou Heng, whose limbs were cut off, and left outside the imperial city.
After doing all this, Du Yuan looked at Gong Buyu, and a smile appeared on his old face:
"Fairy Gong, please say hello to the master on my behalf."
After the words fell, Du Yuan turned around and left without even looking at the many geniuses who were frozen in the hall of Wuxuan Pavilion.
The people of the Great Xia court dispersed, and the Wuxuan Pavilion returned to its previous state.
But at this moment, the geniuses of the imperial family and the true disciples of the sect no longer had the arrogance they had before.
From Du Yuan and the true disciple of Laojun Mountain, Mo Li, they already knew the identity of Gong Buyu.
As geniuses of the same younger generation, their strength was not as good as Gong Buyu, and even the backers behind them were far inferior to Gong Buyu, so they really had no confidence to face Gong Buyu.
The faces of the several true disciples who had threatened the Dongtian Fudi before were even more ugly.
It was normal for a sect to be defeated by a peer, but after the defeat, they threatened a daughter of an immortal. Even if Gong Buyu killed them, the major sects would not find any fault.
Especially Yu Bo, the true disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, was heartbroken at this moment.
The Beast Taming Sect was one of the seventy-two blessed places, ranking very high among the blessed places. There were several spiritual beasts at the peak of the transformation of the spirit to protect the sect in the sect, which could be said to have a good foundation.
But there was no immortal ancestor to suppress it in the sect's blessed land, and even the Taoist master of Hedao died in the last spiritual energy depletion.
After the sect's top leaders discussed, they visited Rongcheng Dayutian two months ago and prepared to get closer to Rongcheng Dayutian, where the immortal was sitting.
Who would have thought that the top leaders had just shown goodwill to Rongcheng Dayutian, and then they turned around and offended the daughter of the ancestor Gong. Yu Bo wanted to die at this moment.
Gong Buyu's cold eyes swept across the people present, and the chill that spread at the end of the year was slowly withdrawn.
"This place where the Dharma is taught cannot be destroyed at will by you."
"I will spare your lives today, get out of here!"
The geniuses were stunned at first, and then they all fled from Wuxuan Pavilion as if they had been pardoned.
Whatever the prince's order or the elder's order, these geniuses threw it all behind their heads.
They only knew one thing, that is, even Jingzhao Yin Du Yuan had to give in to Gong Buyu, and they were even less qualified to challenge Gong Buyu.
The Wuxuan Pavilion, which was originally bustling, was suddenly empty, with only Gong Buyu left.
After a slight pause in the Wuxuan Pavilion, Gong Buyu then strode out of the Wuxuan Pavilion, and went downstairs to an empty attic and a messy first-floor hall.
On the twelfth floor, Xia Yunqiu looked at Gong Buyu's departing figure with a shocked expression.
She could never have expected that after all the twists and turns, the matter would end with Du Yuan's initiative to give in.
You have to know that he was the Jingzhao Yin who truly held the power and status comparable to the Nine Ministers, and even the prince had to try his best to win over a big man.
She could vaguely guess that there was definitely more than one immortal who could not be born behind Gong Buyu.
Retracting her gaze, Xia Yunqiu looked at the Taoist in white clothes who was close at hand.
He still held the long banner that looked like it was forged from the stars, and his expression was calm as if everything was under control.
Xia Yunqiu took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Shen Yuan:
"Xia Yunqiu thanks the Taoist priest!"
"If the Taoist priest has any instructions, Yunqiu will do his best!"
Shen Yuan smiled and pondered.
Although there were twists and turns in today's affairs, and the commotion was several points larger than originally expected, the trouble was finally solved.
In order to prevent other incidents, he did not even agree to Gong Buyu's idea of coming to pay a visit.
With the help of the true teachings of the sects, the reactions of the imperial capital families, and the attitude shown by Zhou Heng at the beginning, Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised at the power of the pusher behind Wuxuan Pavilion.
This made him re-examine the other identity of Xia Yunqiu in front of him.
Shen Yuan held the long banner and slowly said:
"At this point, the Pavilion Master should also introduce himself."
Xia Yunqiu was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's Yunqiu who is rude. I actually forgot about this."
After the voice fell, Xia Yunqiu's aura suddenly changed, and a bit of light gold appeared in her beautiful eyes. Her elegant temperament was accompanied by a bit of indescribable nobility, and a faint human luck blended around her body.
"Yunqiu is a member of the current royal family, the ninth daughter of Emperor Xia."
The words paused slightly, and Xia Yunqiu put the index and middle fingers of her right hand together and lightly touched the center of her eyebrows.
In an instant, the cause and effect that was blocked in Xia Yunqiu's body reappeared, and the mysterious luck lingered around her, making her aura ethereal and unpredictable.
"Heaven's movement is always there, and heaven's luck lasts forever."
"Xia Yunqiu, the last true disciple of Tianyun Sect, greets the Taoist priest!"
