Meng Jingzhou patted Lu Yang on the shoulder and said, "You are finally outstanding enough for someone to come and propose marriage to you."
Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou: "Also?"
Meng Jingzhou said proudly: "Since I was a child, royal relatives, powerful ministers, and people from famous and upright families have come to my house to propose marriage. They wanted their daughters to be my fiancées as if they were not my biological children. However, my parents and clan elders disagreed and their attitude was extremely firm. Otherwise, how could I be here now..."
Lu Yang continued: "How can you have kidney deficiency?"
Meng Jingzhou said angrily: "How can he be a playboy?"
The two men wrestled with each other and used tiger fists at the same time. There were bursts of whistling sounds coming from the clouds, but Yunzhi concentrated on flying and ignored them.
Lu Yang transformed into a tiger monster and pinned Meng Jingzhou down with one claw, beating him so hard that he could only beg for mercy.
After all, Meng Jingzhou's tiger fist could not defeat Lu Yang's real tiger.
After the fight, Lu Yang still couldn't figure out whether the excellent qualities he had demonstrated in Yanjiang County had reached the level where people would come to propose marriage to him
Moreover, why do these elements of "proposing marriage in person", "the woman goes back on her word", and "there is a powerful soul in the body" sound so familiar
…
Great Xia Dynasty, Imperial City, Imperial Palace.
In the hall, a dignified man in black clothes with gold patterns sat on a high seat, stern and serious. The ministers below shouted "Your Majesty", and the atmosphere was dignified and solemn.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xia glanced at his ministers and took out the memorial he had just received. "I have just received a memorial from the governor of Qingzhou, saying that in a place called Buyi Town in Qingzhou, five ancient fusion-stage masters have revived and formed a domain. The leader of the Wendao Sect happened to pass by and brought two disciples to kill three of them."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. The revival of five people in the fusion stage was no small matter. Fortunately, Taoist Buyu encountered it. If it were other people in the fusion stage, they would have fallen directly to Buyi Town.
Although Buyu Taoist doesn't have a very good reputation and everyone has been cheated by him when they were young, his strength is unquestionable and he is at the top of the fusion period.
“But there are still two people in the fusion stage who escaped, and they are both at the peak of the fusion stage.” Emperor Xia reminded his ministers that this is the key.
Emperor Xia did not expect them to abide by the rules at all. The ancient cultivation methods were very rough and regarded human life as worthless. This group of resurrected people was fighting for the opportunity of the great world and would stop at nothing to achieve this. The Great Xia Dynasty had already had lessons in this regard.
The ministers discussed in a low voice that if the two people in the fusion stage showed up, there would be nothing to be afraid of, as there were many people in the court who could deal with them. But they were afraid that the two people were hiding and planning something secretly. If they colluded with people from the Demon Sect, it would be even more troublesome.
"This group of ancient people in the fusion stage!" Emperor Xia was very troubled. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was becoming more and more active, and more and more ancient cultivators were reviving.
This group of people in the fusion stage are a huge disaster. If left alone, they will cause a catastrophe that will cause countless casualties.
The good news is that no cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage has revived yet.
According to the information collected so far, those who revived early were all in the early stage of fusion, and the later they revived, the higher their cultivation level would be. The ones who revived in Buyi Town were four people at the peak of fusion stage and one person at the late stage of fusion.
It can be predicted that soon there will be revival of the monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. When that time comes, the troubles with the Eastern Ocean, the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the Southern Demon Realm, the Far North, and the Four Great Demon Sects will erupt together. The rule of the Great Xia Dynasty will inevitably be shaky, and the rumor that each dynasty will only last 100,000 years will probably come true.
"It's all for the purpose of becoming an immortal!" Emperor Xia's eyes turned cold. He knew many secrets. All the troubles were secretly planned by someone, and the person behind the scenes wanted more immortal fruits to appear.
Emperor Xia suspected that it was done by an unknown person from ancient times, who was one of the five immortals from ancient times.
"Is becoming an immortal so important?" Emperor Xia was angry but did not show it.
If the people behind the scenes really think that the Great Xia Dynasty is a pawn that can be manipulated at will, they are very wrong.
Emperor Xia no longer thought about the affairs of the ancient anonymous person, and once again focused his attention on the two people in the fusion stage who had escaped.
At this time, the chief eunuch received a memorial and after seeing the source, he hurriedly handed it to Emperor Xia.
After seeing it, Emperor Xia was delighted: "Good, good!"
The ministers were puzzled and wondered what was written in the memorial to make His Majesty so happy.
"Don't worry about the two people in the Fusion Stage anymore! Yun Zhi from the Asking Dao Sect has already captured them!"
"Yunzhi?" Some ignorant ministers were puzzled. They didn't know who Yunzhi was. They asked, among the eight elders of the Taoist Sect, there didn't seem to be one named Yunzhi.
The well-informed old minister knew Yun Zhi's identity and how terrifying she was, and knew that it would not be difficult for her to capture two people in the fusion stage alive.
"The Demon Realm sent an envoy..." Emperor Xia and his ministers began to discuss other things.
After court dismissal, Emperor Xia returned to the Yangxin Palace to review new memorials.
"Your Majesty, Duke Qin Jing Yansong has something to report." The eunuch chief said in a low voice.
Emperor Xia said without even raising his head: "Come in."
After Duke Qin entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he saw Emperor Xia was busy reviewing memorials. He did not say a word, but stood respectfully. He only spoke after Emperor Xia finished reviewing the most important memorials.
"What's the matter, Duke Qin?" Emperor Xia looked at Duke Qin with a solemn expression. Even the timid ones did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Your Majesty, I think we must be on guard against the Daoist Sect. Yunzhi of the Daoist Sect once defeated the masters of the five major immortal sects as a disciple, setting an unprecedented record. Since then, she has been very simple and easy to understand, and rarely takes action, but every time she takes action, it shocks everyone. In the past few hundred years, her cultivation must have reached a very terrifying level."
"I am worried that her existence will shake the foundation of the dynasty. After all, the Daoist Sect was established during the Great Yu era. After experiencing the 'division of the world into two' and the 'founding of the Great Xia dynasty', she might want to replace it."
"This is not just my opinion. On my way to court, I heard the waiter singing 'If you want to be prosperous, the world will be peaceful.'"
Emperor Xia frowned. Seeing this, Duke Qin knew that His Majesty had become suspicious of Wen Dao Zong, so he said no more and took his leave.
Emperor Xia summoned the chief eunuch and said, "Go and check who Duke Qin has met recently, especially his dealings with the Demon Realm."
“Yes.”
Emperor Xia sneered in his heart. It seemed that not everyone in the court was on the side of Great Xia.
"It's a good idea to create a gap between me and the Daoist Sect."
After Emperor Xia ascended the throne, he visited the five major immortal gates in turn. When he visited the Wendao Sect, he saw Yunzhi and was shocked by her beauty. He felt that this person was unfathomable. He sent people to inquire, but still could not figure out Yunzhi's background. So he went directly to the forbidden area of the palace to ask his ancestors if they knew that there was a female cultivator named Yunzhi in the Wendao Sect.
The old ancestor was silent for a long time, and only replied with one sentence: "The strongest of the five immortal sects."
Emperor Xia continued to ask, "How does it compare to you, our ancestor?"
"Don't ask any more questions."
Emperor Xia was kicked out by his ancestor, and he felt quite angry and humiliated.
