On the southernmost coast of the Western Shadows, a middle-aged man with gray temples came from a distance, dragging a half-dead dragon species in his hand. When he came ashore, he was left behind.

On this day, it was really unlucky for the dragon species that had been making waves for a hundred years. It just discovered the other party, and floated out of the deep sea nest with the intention of teasing, and was knocked unconscious by a punch, and when it woke up, not only could it not perceive its own qi, but even its own realm was imprisoned in the cultivation path. You must know that it is a genuine realm of the Great Dao, and even an ordinary cultivator of the realm of the Great Dao may not be its opponent by relying on its own strong physique. And in the hands of the middle-aged man, there was no chance to resist.

So what kind of realm will the other party be?

A false saint, or a real saint?

Jiaolong didn't dare to think about it, and just begged the other party to be merciful and let him go.

The middle-aged man was naturally the master of the academy who left the Bitter Sea Academy and went down the mountain to go to the world, originally he didn't want to do anything about Jiaolong, but the other party was not interested, and he wandered in the sea under his feet again and again. Since you choose to go down the mountain, you have to change your state of mind. When he was young, the dragon that had no one in this entry had to be cramped and skinned.

The master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard looked at the dragon species with a smile, and said, "The demon beast with a radius of hundreds of miles in this sea and the highest realm is you, isn't it?"

Jiaolong nodded honestly, for fear of annoying the other party because of deception. Under the suppression of the qi of a top saint, it did not even dare to give birth to the idea of escaping, and its huge body "lay" on the shore, like a child who had done something wrong, motionless.

"Thinking of your ordinary dragon species, since you can cultivate to reach the realm of the Dao, you are under the favor of the Heavenly Dao and are under its jurisdiction. Life and death have their own certainty, and it has nothing to do with me. What's more, there are other things I have to do with my descent this time, and it has nothing to do with you. The master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard spoke, and then raised his hand to accept the confinement of the dragon: "Why don't you leave quickly, waiting for me to give me a ride?"

After Jiaolong heard this, how dare he say anything. Glad that he escaped into the sea at the same time as his life, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The Master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard looked north and said to himself, "For me, whether you are in the realm of a saint or not is not a thing. Even if you get lucky enough to get the top two words within a hundred years, it doesn't hurt to me. But you shouldn't have moved the mind of Xiyou, a four-part world. After listening to the bewitchment of those dead machines on the ancient battlefield, if you want to steal the beams and change the pillars and build your own rules, then you have to ask me if I agree. ”

"In addition to you, the other three courtyard masters are in the pseudo-saint realm with you, and their foundation is no better than yours, and it is not more difficult to break through the realm than you? Of course, this idea is not a difficult thing for him: "How can I make a wedding dress for you in a world of western seclusion and thousands of people?" I will come down the mountain and come here, take one step at a time, and try to convince you." Otherwise, what about a false saint, if he can't keep it, he must be killed. ”

With that, he swept away.

......

Lintian City is the closest to the Heavenly Worship City where the Heavenly Worship Sect is located, so even if it is the imperial capital, it is far inferior to the latter when it comes to prosperity. However, as one of the few cities in the West, this place still attracts countless people. Although it is far from the point of busy traffic, the people's lives are far less rich than Yunmeng. But they will still feel extremely satisfied because they live here.

In Lintian City, it is not actually the royal family that is in charge. Rather, it was a deputy sect master of the Heaven Worship Sect who was in the realm of the Great Zhen Dao, and in addition to his identity as a sword cultivator, many things could be decided by him with one sentence. In order to avoid his edge, the young emperor was afraid that he would die in the palace late one night, and even lived in the palace. Every day, except for the morning court, he reads and paints, and does not participate in partisan struggles.

Those ministers don't understand, but he knows it clearly. There is a Heavenly Worship Sect pressed on it, and the Xiyou Imperial Family is not a royal family after all, and he, the emperor, may die at any time. If you say that you envy the authority of the emperors of the other three countries, you are naturally envious, but you don't dare to speak out.

Today, the young emperor was rarely interested, and in the main hall, he listened to the words of the eunuchs around him: "Your Majesty, we have recently come to Xiyou, a cultivator from another country, all the way north, it is said that he has killed a Zhendao elder of the Heaven Worship Sect in the Huatian Secret Realm. Counting the time, if he didn't stop, he should be in our Lintian City now. ”

"Where did you hear the news?" asked the young emperor with a smile, and at the same time reached out and took a melon fruit from the jade plate, and let the concubines beside him peel it and put it into his mouth. Similar life, day after day, he is actually tired of it. It's just better than not being able to save your life, so you live in such a mess.

The young emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "It can't be the news from the Heavenly Worship Sect, right?"

The eunuch had no choice but to nod his head and say yes.

"True or false, I don't want to know. Anyway, for the Heavenly Worship Sect, it is a matter that is very simple to deal with. Could it be that you want me to wade into troubled waters...... How bold you are!" said the young emperor as he stood up and said in a loud voice. Even if he is just a puppet, he still has an innate imperial aura. The eunuch was prostrate on the ground, and he didn't dare to breathe, so he had to look at the young emperor cautiously, worried about his life.

"Your Majesty, how could I mean this as a little minion. The eunuch spoke cautiously.

"Get up, I know what you mean. It's just that what about the Heavenly Worship Sect is not something that I, the emperor, and the Xiyou royal family can influence. All I can do is follow the orders of the sect, isn't it?" the young emperor sat on the dragon chair and continued, "I'm tired, you retreat. Command to go down, and tomorrow will not be early. ”

"Wow. The eunuch replied with a clenched voice, and then bowed backwards.

After the eunuch left, the young emperor waved away the concubine, sat alone in the main hall, slapped the jade plate in front of him to the ground, and almost roared and said: "What is the meaning of this emperor? ”

With a look of pain on his face, he curled up on the dragon chair, which was supposed to symbolize supreme power, and said to himself: "How good would it be if someone who is loyal to the country can stand in front of me and help me solve my problems? As long as it's not like the puppet that is slaughtered by others, it's enough for me. ”

But in fact, the entire temple has its own ghosts, and there are few loyal ministers who are really iron-clad for the royal family, and most of them collude with the Heavenly Worship Sect privately for the sake of interests. He actually knows these people, after all, he doesn't hide them. It's just that he didn't dare to do anything to them, a Heavenly Worship Sect as a backer, but it was far more reliable than his royal family.

......

Zhuge Chen stood under the city wall outside the palace, yawning with a wine jug, and the two women, Ah Hua and Crow, did not follow him. These two people are now accustomed to the solitude of the white clothes, anyway, with the other's realm killing power, if they really meet an opponent who can be equal, they will only drag their feet when they go. So after staying at the inn, they waved their hands and went shopping.

As for the money needed for expenses, it is naturally Zhuge Chen. Even if Bai Yi is very reluctant, there is no way. He can't really take the two of them to wander around the city, and he can't think of a sword if he can't think of a sword.

Zhuge Chen took a sip of wine, raised his head to look at the high city wall, and was thinking about how he should get in. Then he heard a voice behind him: "Hurry up, boy, can't you find death?" He was trampled by the horse's hooves, and his bones had to be broken." ”

Zhuge Chen dodged away and looked back at the same time, only to see a rather richly decorated carriage passing by him. With an idea, he followed with a white horse and boarded the carriage.

He thought that the carriage would be empty, so he took a hitchhike into the palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw a woman looking at him in horror. Just when the other party was about to shout, Zhuge Chen took a step faster than her and blocked the woman's mouth. And raised a finger and whispered: "Shhh, I have no malicious intent, don't make a noise." Be quiet, it's good for you and me. ”

The woman obviously didn't believe Zhuge Chen, shook her head, and was ready to break free and call for help. However, Bai Yi, who didn't like trouble, of course would not give her this opportunity, sealed the other party's throat with a sword qi, and then lifted the curtain, and said to himself: "This palace is really not small, and it is not much different from Yun Meng's. It's really hard to imagine that Xiyou also has the money to build such a huge palace complex. ”

The woman "rewarded" Zhuge Chen with a white eye, as if saying that Bai Yi was the ranger who had never seen the world.

Zhuge Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, just lowered the curtain, and then sat next to the woman and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." I just want to enter the palace to see the scenery, and I am interested, and there is no other purpose. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sneaked in like that. If you don't believe me, tell the people in the palace after I have dismounted, and send someone to arrest me. Now that it's clear, I'll take back my sword qi later, and remember not to yell. ”

Saying this, Zhuge Chen collected his sword qi, but he did not relax his vigilance. At this moment, the coachman outside the carriage coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to go back to the palace to rest first, or do you want to go to see Your Majesty?"

The woman frowned, glanced at Bai Yi, tried her best to suppress her worries, and said, "Go back first, this palace is tired." On the royal brother's side, there shouldn't be a hurry. ”

"Your Majesty loves Your Highness, so naturally you won't say anything, you don't need to worry. The coachman said with a smile and continued to drive the carriage hard.

Zhuge Chen didn't expect to casually board a carriage and meet Her Royal Highness the princess of Xiyou. But it's nothing, after all, the other party didn't say himself, so he just closed his eyes and recuperated, and said softly at the same time: "I owe you a small favor, and I will pay you back if I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess snorted coldly, obviously not taking it seriously. Although she is not very old, she can be regarded as a noble status. I have seen a lot of young heroes, especially the handsome young sword cultivator who worships the gods of the Heavenly Sect, and there are many who pursue her and want to become a member of the royal family.

But she has never had a good impression of these people. On the contrary, Zhuge Chen, who looked like a ranger in the rivers and lakes, made him curious. It's not that she has any special feelings for Baiyi, how to say that she is also a princess, but she is not as excited as a small jasper who is used to seeing the rivers and lakes. What really made her curious was Bai Yi's purpose and her seemingly careless attitude towards everything.
