Chapter 308: Four Seasons Domain and Yuan Feng Method, an Ancient Temple Never Heard Of

When he saw Princess Youruo also looking confused, Zhao Xing knew she probably didn't know the contents inside either.

Clearly, this was a double-sided imperial edict.

Liu Tianning coming had his plans, and not coming had his plans.

Regardless, the old Emperor could hit a multi-headed bird with one stone.

Zhao Xing thought of many things in an instant, echoing the memories of his previous life, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The biggest emotion was: fortunately, the old Emperor wouldn't live long.

It was already the 56th year of Yongzhi, and Emperor Jing had only 43 years left to live; in the middle, he had to go to the Dragon Court twice, so it was absolutely impossible for him to make any more trouble.

Of course, now was not the time to think about this; completing the mission and cleaning up the aftermath was the right way.

"Teacher's Wife, please let Teacher chat with you after the matter! The brothers of Wan, 'Wan Yan' and 'Wan Chang', will soon react that this is not an ordinary robbery, so we must act quickly."

Wan Yan and Wan Chang were Great Zhou names; in reality, the royal family of the Yanguang Royal Court had no surnames and were translated as 'Keshen Clan'.

The Princess's fleet and the Southern Barbarian fleet were separated. Because Zhao Xing contacted Liu Wanliang through a dream in advance, letting the other party find an excuse to stop the fleet outside the periphery of the Fengming Mountains at 'Fengyu River'—the reason was also very simple: the Princess wanted to look at the direction of home again.

Emperor Jing said that not a single Southern Barbarian royal family member could be let go, so Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing really had to hack the two brothers Wan Chang and Wan Yan.

"Good!" Princess Youruo came back to her senses and immediately followed Liu Wanliang, who had rushed over, to transfer.

The Yanguang Royal Ships of the two brothers Wan Chang and Wan Yan landed on the peaks of a nameless mountain range, about fifty miles apart.

No way, the Great Zhou ritual had so many things; the fleet and dowry stretched for dozens of miles. The Wan brothers hadn't even seen the Princess's face, and they weren't allowed to approach the fleet, only leaving two Third Grade guard leaders to support on the flanks for fifteen miles.

The Wan brothers had thought about being robbed, but they mainly guarded against other Southern Barbarian forces causing trouble.

After all, the opinions within the Southern Barbarians regarding this marriage alliance were not unified, and the opponents were even more radical than those in the Great Zhou.

The moment he received the news that the team was attacked, Wan Yan was immediately furious.

"What?! Someone attacked the fleet!"

"Daring to rob the Keshen Clan's road and snatch the Imperial Brother's bride, simply rebellious!"

"Keshen Guards, quickly follow me to meet the enemy!"

"I want to see which tribe has such guts!"

Wan Chang on the other mountain was calmer:

"I fear it is not an enemy from the Southern Wilderness, but the pro-war faction of the Great Zhou."

But he also didn't intend to run, but wanted to snatch Princess Youruo back:

"However, after leaving Yingyuan Prefecture, the Great Zhou Princess was under our supervision. Regardless of the reason for losing the Princess,

I fear it will bring trouble."

"What's more, if I fail to escort her, the Keshen Clan will be ridiculed by other tribes for a thousand years!"

"Regardless of who this group of people is, they must be dealt with afterward."

"Forget about ritual; quickly snatch the Princess back to the tribe!"

"The most urgent task is to sit on the reality of the marriage alliance!"

If it were within the Great Zhou territory, they could shirk responsibility if something happened, but after leaving the Great Zhou and having the Princess handed over to them, to be snatched again—that was a great shame.

Regardless of the twists and turns involved, the two Wan brothers couldn't retreat.

Wan Chang immediately ordered his personal guards to quickly chase toward the mountain behind.

The distance was actually very close, almost instantaneous for a First Grade expert.

However, with the cooperation of the Imperial Clan Director Liu Wanliang, by the time they arrived, the Princess's pleasure boat had already disappeared.

The original teams left here to support had also disappeared without a trace.

Just as they stepped over the Fengyu River, Wan Chang and Wan Yan felt their vision go dark.

The light around them dimmed rapidly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and they didn't know when dark clouds stretching for a hundred miles appeared around them.

Above the two brothers' heads, a vortex appeared in each.

*Swish~ Swish~*

Countless figures flew out from the clouds and the ground.

Soon, they filled the sky and the ground.

"My Keshen—"

"Where did so many people come from?"

"What kind of demon art is this? Why do they all have the same face!"

"No, two faces."

"Ah! Your Highness, save—grunt~"

"Heh~"

"?!!!"

Terrifying!

Extreme fear instantly crawled over their whole bodies.

Wan Yan and Wan Chang were both stunned!

What was the situation on the scene?

When they crossed south of the Fengyu River, ten thousand Liu Tiannings and five thousand Zhao Xings appeared by the river, sealing the sky and the ground.

After the south was sealed, ten thousand Liu Tiannings and five thousand Zhao Xings appeared in the east and west respectively.

The two Southern Barbarian royal family members were also people who had seen the world.

But they had never seen this situation before.

What was the comparison of enemy and our forces?

Enemy: 30, 00 First Grade, all exuding the aura of early Life Palace.

Our side: 5 First Grade, although Wan Yan and Wan Chang were late-stage Life Palace, the other three were only early-stage Life Palace.

Enemy: 15, 00 Second Grade, all exuding the aura of late Heavenly Luck.

Our side: 7 Second Grade, as tribal leaders.

Wan and Wan Chang's entourage had 500 Third Grade.

But... it's better not to mention it.

Because half of them had turned into pigs!

"Run!!!" Wan Yan shouted miserably; at this moment, he had no courage at all.

"Liu Tianning!" Wan Chang shuddered, his tentacles on his head standing straight from fear.

He never expected that it was Liu Tianning who came to snatch the bride, and he had made such a big scene.

"Grand Marshal, this, am I seeing things—" Inside the Mohist Palace, Lu Ying rubbed his eyes.

"The Earth Mirror shows 15, 00 Second Grade primordial energy fluctuations and 30, 00 First Grade primordial energy fluctuations in the Fengyu River."

Lu Ying suspected the Earth Mirror was broken.

Zhao Xing had restrained himself; after all, this was Old Liu's battle.

If he really dispatched everything, the number of clones Zhao Xing could control would exceed Old Liu's.

He could completely dispatch 500, 00 Second Grade clones!

Of course, he didn't make so many; if he really made so many, the old Emperor would probably be unable to sleep.

In this event, Zhao Xing would never steal the spotlight; he was just here to cheer!

King Luo didn't pay attention to Lu Ying; he licked his lips, a trace of excitement flowing in his eyes, and his fighting spirit couldn't help but rise.

"What a Liu Tianning, the number one person under the rules!"

"His clones, although only early Life Palace, will eventually be practiced up!"

Although Liu Tianning's clones here were only early Life Palace, when the quantity reached the magnitude of 30, 00, it wouldn't be long before he had no opponents in the Life Palace realm!

What's more, Liu Tianning also had plant soldiers, which was the most terrifying place.

Relying on precious plant soldiers, he could completely rival the combat power of the rule realm in the future.

This scene made King Luo very excited, and he even began to simulate sparring with Liu Tianning as a hypothetical enemy in his mind.

"Without wearing the Heavenly King Armor, without taking the Jidu, relying solely on the rule domain and ultimate martial arts, can I beat Liu Tianning?"

King Luo's fighting spirit became stronger and stronger.

A monster with peak combat power was born among the military agriculturalists! This made the fighting spirit in King Luo's heart rise, and he really wanted to fight Liu Tianning right now.

"Grand, Grand Marshal—don't, don't be excited."

Lu Ying was almost suffocated, clutching his neck, his face showing pain. The pressure released by King Luo just now invisibly stopped his blood and primordial energy from flowing, and even the 【Boundless Mohist】 in his body stopped running.

"Hmm?" Hearing Lu Ying's call, King Luo instantly retracted his fighting spirit.

"Hoo~ ha~ cough, cough—" Lu Ying coughed violently. He was only Second-Rank; he really couldn't handle the surging emotions of the big shots.

King Luo was equipped with divine artifacts and was completely at the strength of the rule realm; leaking a little pressure made him unable to breathe.

"Lu Ying, open the Mohist Palace across the river," King Luo said coldly. "There are bugs coming."

"Yes." Lu Ying hurriedly went to control the Mohist Palace.

Fengyu Plain, the battle started and ended quickly.

Liu Tianning could be said to have acted with hatred; the people who blocked him along the way reminded him of the past. Although he was lucky enough to snatch back Youruo,

he also had a breath of air in his heart.

Zhao Xing had warned him that he must not vent on his own people.

So he could only pour this breath onto the Southern Barbarians.

"30, 00 top-tier Ten Thousand Method clones, including Soul-Eating Dharma Body, Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body, Profound Fire Dharma Body, Yellow Springs Dharma Body, Earth Dharma Body, Floating Dharma Body, Heavenly Travel Dharma Body."

"Seven Dharma Bodies, the Soul-Eating Dharma Body doesn't consider defense; it mainly uses soul attack means in the Derivation God Art, 'Extinguishing Soul Bell', 'Soul Meteor', 'Three Soul Seals'," Zhao Xing watched below.

The Soul-Eating Dharma Body doesn't need to consider defense; anyway, it's the clone that is lost.

Losing one or two clones doesn't have much impact, unless more than one-tenth is lost, then the soul power consumption is a bit large.

In addition, the materials Liu Tianning used to build the straw man clones were Ninth Grade materials. If too many were lost,

both soul power and financial resources would suffer great losses.

"Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body is an advanced version of the martyrdom Dharma Body. Combined with 'Soul Meteor' in the Derivation God Art, it is completely a suicide attack method."

Zhao Xing watched below as five hundred of Liu Tianning's 【Heaven-Meteor】 clones rushed toward Wan Yan and Wan Chang.

Combined with Soul Meteor, this first wave of explosions killed everyone except the seven First Grade experts.

"Pure venting," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Wan Yan and Wan Chang have cultivated rule domains, but it is only the first change, distorting the rules of heaven and earth; for top-tier spells, the power reduction is not very large."

"Old Liu's true self also comprehended the rule domain; he doesn't need to fight like this."

Zhao Xing looked in all directions; there was a precious plant in each of the four directions.

"Spring Heavenly Horn Bamboo, Summer Golden God Pillar, Autumn Yellow Springs Lead, Winter Snow Cangwu."

"This is the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Domain!"

"After inheriting the foundation of Shangluo Academy, Old Liu cultivated the 'Heaven and Earth Seed Soldier Decision' to the fifth layer, which could exert the power of four divine trees. Finally, it could reach the level of the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Arena!"

Now, the four divine trees were still half-hidden and half-visible, unable to be fully projected into the Great World.

It was just a rule domain, not a rule Dao Arena.

But this was enough to dominate among First Grade experts; after all, if fully exerted, it would be comparable to the rule realm!

Old Liu's rule domain now, because it was performed through precious divine trees, was incomparably strong.

Wan Yan and Wan Chang also had precious weapons that could distort the rules of heaven and earth, but they couldn't suppress Liu Tianning at all; instead, they were suppressed by the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Arena.

But Liu Tianning chose to let the 【Heaven-Meteor】 Dharma Body go, almost in a hand-to-hand way, giving people the feeling that he wanted to bite off a piece of meat.

One is venting, the other is on-site teaching.

The disciple helped a lot, and there happened to be First Grade enemies, so he could fight to the death and let go, so he taught Zhao Xing by the way.

Within the Great Zhou territory, there were few such opportunities.

*Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~*

Five hundred Heaven-Meteor Dharma Bodies erupted together, the terrifying power lifting a row of circular mushroom clouds!

At the center of the explosion were Wan Yan and Wan Chang.

"Only these two are left." Zhao Xing activated the Heavenly Eye Method, which could see some clues through the distorted energy fluctuations; after all, everything was under Old Liu's control, and they were fighting completely according to the textbook.

It was just to let the disciple see clearly.

"Wan Yan and Wan Chang, these two Holy Light royal families, both have defensive precious treasures," Zhao Xing watched quietly.

His eyes emitted golden light, and dust and smoke were completely hidden in his field of vision.

He could see a protective shield like a carapace emerging on Wan Yan and Wan Chang.

However, the Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body was not just a clone self-explosion of Ninth Grade materials; it also performed 'Soul Explosion' while self-exploding.

So these two brothers were now clutching their heads and howling in pain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah~"

Watching them in such pain, Liu Tianning was chatting with Zhao Xing: "I am still not as good as the old man; if it were the Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body he performed, there would be no chance for people to scream."

"You are also using a cannon to hit a mosquito," Zhao Xing smiled lightly. "The old man is a bit more frugal than you."

Liu Tianning also smiled; he had never been poor, and this concept was brought to fighting.

He basically fought rich battles!

"This is the Yellow Springs Dharma Body, look carefully."

No sooner said than done, Liu Tianning quickly dispatched the second batch of Dharma Bodies.

Zhao Xing stared carefully; in the Spirit Mountain, he hadn't practiced the Ten Thousand Method Clone, and his energy was concentrated on the Mountain Method, the second layer of the Derivation God Art, the Pig Luo Method, and other Heavenly Time and Earthly Benefit Methods.

His true self's thinking was in a silent state at that time, and with Old Liu's previous lessons, he didn't rush to study top-tier Dharma Bodies.

Even now, he only used it as a reference.

Because the five major clones practiced by Xu Xing and Liu Tianning's seven Dharma Bodies had overlaps and differences. The straw man method was also divided into the Liu school and the Wu school, and the Derivation God Art would also produce individual differences due to people. Zhao Xing wanted to walk, so he had to be stronger than Liu Tianning.

"The Yellow Springs Dharma Body and the Floating Dharma Body were both created by me, based on the First Grade Wood True Intent and the symbiotic body of the Floating Vine, combined with the original advanced straw man method."

"Yellow Springs claims life and determines life and death; the vitality in their bodies will be extracted by my Dharma Body."

"Even if it's just a collision from a distance, life will be consumed."

Liu Tianning's voice echoed. As the Yellow Springs Dharma Body was dispatched, even ordinary thunder spells were covered with a layer of eerie black.

The wind also became a tangible black.

Zhao Xing's Heavenly Eye field of vision had excluded many interferences, but he still saw this strange scene.

"Extracting vitality? Truly terrifying. Even if it can't be killed for a while, vitality slowly passes away. My original method body chose Wood Line, which was the Cangwu True Intent, but this Yellow Springs Dharma Body is not impossible to learn."

Yellow Springs, Immortality, and Cangwu are known as the three Yin-attribute divine woods.

It is rumored that the real Immortal Tree, Cangwu Tree, and Yellow Springs Tree are no longer alive; only materials like leaves and a section of branches are passed down for people to comprehend true intent.

Old Liu's Yellow Springs Lead is also a variant of the inherited Yellow Springs Tree and cannot be counted as a real Yellow Springs Tree.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be a precious treasure level, but a supreme rare treasure level.

The Floating Dharma Body is an advanced version of the high-grade Flying Dharma Body, based on the vine leaves of the Floating Vine, making the Floating Dharma Body the fastest among the seven Dharma Bodies.

Even faster than Xu Xing's Heavenly Travel Dharma Body.

*Boom crack!

"Wuwuwu!"

Thunder roared, and the gale howled.

Wan Yan and Wan Chang, although protected by precious divine weapons, had their vitality flowing away rapidly.

Reducing lifespan—even if each attack only extracts a little vitality, it is very terrifying under the attack of so many clones.

Both of them aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, they didn't even have the power to activate the precious treasure.

At this time, Zhao Xing suddenly moved his eyebrows and looked into the distance.

"Teacher, it's time to end; bugs are coming."

Zhao Xing wasn't just watching; he had sent his clones very far. The clone furthest to the south could already see movements in the depths of the Fengming Mountains.

*Rumble~*

The mountain range kept arching, as if a behemoth was drilling through.

The earth veins changed, and it approached in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Xing felt his clone being pressed by a huge gravity from far away.

"Good."

Liu Tianning nodded, and the clones stopped acting.

The true self pointed, and the four divine trees in the southeast, northwest, and northwest shone brightly.

The heaven and earth in all four directions were completely different scenes.

The east was full of spring, and the Heavenly Horn Bamboo's green light bloomed.

The south was scorching in summer, and the Golden God Pillar (cactus-shaped), like a majestic mountain, suppressed the earth.

The west was bleak in autumn, and the Yellow Springs Tree induced a black Yin wind, as if forming a road to the Yellow Springs.

The north was covered in heavy snow, and the Snow Cangwu seemed to be carved from transparent ice crystals; even the leaves were crystal clear, and every time it shook, snowflakes shot out, and the lethality of each snowflake exceeded the standard defense of a Second Grade expert.

When Liu Tianning pointed, the pure primordial projection began to squirm.

The heaven and earth in all four directions intersected.

"Four Seasons Divine Splendor Domain, four gods intersect, triggering the strangulation of heaven and earth rules."

"The whole world wants them to die, just like crossing a tribulation."

"Four kinds of divine woods, each with its own wonders; even if the enemy holds one kind of precious treasure, they can block one kind of rule. When the four gods intersect, the rules of heaven and earth circulate and intersect, generating and destroying each other, just like Dean You's divine talisman array, which can constantly change attack methods."

Listening to Liu Tianning's introduction, Zhao Xing's expression was complex.

Liu Tianning thought Zhao Xing didn't understand, so he didn't take it to heart.

In fact, Old Master Zhao was thinking of the scene where he was killed by Old Liu in his previous life.

At that time, he was already in the middle and late stages of the Martial Emperor, and he also possessed First Grade combat power, with a gathering element (level) reaching ninety-nine stages.

He and seven experts from the Brotherhood Guild took the task of the old witch to fight Liu Tianning, and finally met Liu Tianning's true self once.

Then, he saw this move of the four gods intersecting.

Eight top experts with precious treasures couldn't kill Liu Tianning, but were strangled by him instead.

After that, players never took the "assassinate Liu Tianning" pit task again.

At this time, Liu Tianning hadn't reached the level of his previous life; after all, the primordial energy tide had already occurred, spiritual energy was favoring, and heaven and earth had changed. He was stronger then than he was now.

Seeing the four divine trees of the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Arena this time, Zhao Xing was truly sighing.

"Fortunately, all four trees will be mine in the future, not killed in vain," Zhao Xing joked in his heart.

*Crack crack~ Bang!

Like iron blocks breaking and cracking, a loud noise came from below.

Wan Yan and Wan Chang were gone, leaving only two dim, crack-filled half-body armors floating in the air.

"Go!"

Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning immediately retracted their clones and retreated toward Yingyuan Prefecture.

The dispatch of the Baboke bug must be accompanied by a super expert.

The mother bug is in the rule realm; of course, the Yanguang Royal Court couldn't dispatch the mother bug.

However, even so, it was difficult to kill this bug without a divine agricultural hoe.

Because it was born to be able to control the earth veins for protection, and could also swallow and spit earth fire, and itself was thick-skinned, not to mention that it could easily drill into the deep underground where the escape method couldn't reach.

If it were bitten and dragged into the deep underground, losing the divine tree would be a big loss.

Since the Great Zhou had precautions, they didn't have to be brave.

"Big Brother, why did you come back, where is the enemy?" On the Wu Yao warship, Ji Che's straw man was stunned.

Because he couldn't understand, and couldn't keep up.

In his eyes, he only saw many Zhao Xings and Liu Tiannings appearing at once, covering the sky and the sun.

Then there were explosions and mushroom clouds, as well as violent breaking sounds. In his field of vision, it was colorful,

and it was difficult to see the specific battlefield clearly.

By the time he saw clearly, Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning had returned to the ship.

"Talk later, go first."

"Wow! What a big bug!" Ji Che pointed ahead, shocked, "What is it, how is it so big!"

"Children don't look, go quickly."

Zhao Xing drove the Wu Yao warship and ran away in a puff of smoke.

*Squeak~* The Baboke bug with rotating gray-yellow tentacles on its head made a sharp and piercing sound.

When the sound came, the ripples directly caused the straw man body of Ji Che on the deck to collapse.

"Wow!" Ji Che's remaining straw men immediately shrank back into the hall.

Zhao Xing's face also changed, and he hurriedly retracted his clones, reinforced the barrier defense, and ran faster.

"Bug-eating barbarians, they really have a conspiracy!" Inside the Mohist Palace, Duke Wei and Duke Yang shouted angrily.

"Actually dispatched a King Bug!"

The King Bug is only second to the mother bug, and its power is not small.

It was originally to welcome the bride, but now it was back-bitten by the pro-war faction.

"Don't say so much, drive it away first." King Luo said.

"Yes."

Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning rushed into the Mohist Palace in one breath.

As for the Princess, she had long crossed the river.

"Grand Marshal, your subordinate has a memorial to submit," Zhao Xing said as soon as he got on the ship, reporting to King Luo.

"Speak."

"Grand Marshal, please look." Zhao Xing threw out a mirage pearl and echo snail.

"Hehe, I heard that Princess Youruo has a natural Clear Water Dao Body, her figure is soft; I wonder what she tastes like?"

"That must be able to make people ecstatic all night!"

"Great Zhou women aren't that I haven't played with, but I haven't tried the Princess's taste; I really envy the Young Master."

"Envy what? You don't know, the Young Master doesn't like women; Princess Youruo will have to be a slave obediently after marrying over. When the old Emperor of the Great Zhou dies, maybe the Princess can be given to the brothers to enjoy."

"Heh, weren't those Commandery Princesses during Emperor Wen's period like that?"

In the picture, two Second Grade tribal leaders were saying nonsense with drunken eyes.

This was of course the "daydream" that Old Master Zhao let them say.

When they killed their way onto the Princess's tower ship, one of the flank ships had long been captured by Zhao Xing, and he guided them to say some heartfelt words, which were then recorded by the mirage pearl and echo snail.

When Yang Wanli, Duke Wei, King Luo, Liu Tianning, and Lu Ying looked at this piece of intelligence, cold chill radiated from their bodies.

Especially Liu Tianning and Ji Che's straw man, who almost had a tendency to go berserk and collapse.

Duke Wei immediately said: "The barbarians are crazy, and their hidden depth is far more vicious than the court knows!"

Duke Wei also had a piece of "evidence" in his hand, but it was not as comprehensive as the one in Zhao Xing's hand, and the filthy language was not so ugly.

Ji Che's head was about to explode, like an angry young beast: "Bastards, these bastards, I want them all to die!!!"

Because he was too excited, he

Due to being too excited, he spoke two sentences, and the intermediate grass man collapsed.

"I understand." The King of Luo nodded. "Duke of Wei, please make multiple copies of this item and ensure it is kept properly."

"Yes." The Duke of Wei nodded and then glanced at Zhao Xing.

I have to say, this kid is efficient.

The war faction can use this stuff for a lifetime!

"Prince Taihe, Marquis of Divine Might." Yang Wanli walked in front of Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing, holding a pair of shackles. "My apologies."

Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning nodded and extended their hands.

The King of Luo said: "No need. Could they possibly run away? You may withdraw."

"Yes." Yang Wanli withdrew obediently. He was only a Jinwu General; his grandfather Yang Xiongying was the Duke of Yang. Since the King of Luo had spoken, a small Second-Ranker like him could only obey.

Anyway, it was just for show.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

The Juzi Palace and the Baboke Worm bombarded each other for half an hour.

Half an hour later, the King of Luo flew out of the Juzi Palace, and from the huge crater caused by the Baboke Worm, a tall figure with gray antennae also flew out.

The two chattered on for a long time, and the man with antennae on the opposite side was extremely agitated.

Afterward, the King of Luo took out a bead and threw it toward the other party.

After the King of Luo threw the bead over, his eyes were cold: "Barbarian tribe, you fear power but do not cherish virtue. Your actions are insane. One day, this King will trample you beasts to death! I will turn your bugs into specimens and hang them in my collection hall!"

The antennaed man was silent for a moment, then finally disappeared into the crater.

In early October, Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning's true bodies returned to Fengjing. Accompanying them was Princess Youruo, Ji Anlan.

On October 3rd, the Jing Emperor issued two imperial decrees.

The first decree denounced the Southern Barbarian Holy Light Court as a "den of filth," "uncivilized savages," and the heir to the throne as "violating human ethics and principles," "unworthy of the Princess," and the Holy Light tribes as "defiant of imperial transformation," "ungrateful," and "plotting treason"—

In short, the ritual scholars used the filthiest language they could find,

frantically condemning the barbarians!

And announced that Princess Youruo had been welcomed back.

The second was a decree of self-reproach.

The Jing Emperor said he "failed to recognize talent" and "listened to slander," which was why he almost sent his beloved daughter into the tiger's den.

At the same time, he stripped sixteen civil officials who had supported the marriage alliance of their ranks and titles.

To express his love for his daughter and make up for her wounded heart, he additionally conferred upon Princess Youruo the title of "Princess Anguo," allowing her to recuperate in the capital and no longer toil over East Sea affairs.

In this world-shocking attempted marriage alliance incident, Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning still received punishment.

The reason was also very simple: dereliction of duty.

Liu Tianning was stripped of his title, changing from Prince of Taihe Commandery to Duke of Taihe Commandery, fined ten ranks of nobility, demoted three grades in rank, and fined thirty years of salary.

All other duties were stripped, retaining only the Second-Rank position of Lesser Agricultural Minister.

Zhao Xing was demoted five ranks of nobility, his positions of Imperial Palace Walker and Military Realm Inspector were revoked, he was fined ten years of salary, and placed under house arrest for four years.

Why only four years of house arrest? Because four years later was the opening of the second Dragon Court; one couldn't prevent a Dragon Emperor candidate from entering.

"Your servant obeys the decree."

Zhao Xing received the punishment decree, feeling relieved in his heart.

Because the two had kidnapped the bride first, this had to be punished regardless. However, this punishment was within his expectations.

The Jing Emperor certainly wouldn't touch his nobility title, because he had no family to speak of; he had so little foundation that stripping it further would be excessive.

He himself didn't have much power, just holding the title of Lingshan Envoy. As for the Imperial Palace Walker and Military Realm Inspector, it didn't matter; if they were taken back, so be it.

Furthermore, Liu Tianning was the "principal offender" in this matter; having punished him, they wouldn't heavily punish Zhao Xing again.

Liu Tianning was originally from Taihe Commandery; changing from a Commandery Prince to a Commandery Duke meant his fief was reduced by more than half, and many positions were removed, retaining only the Lesser Agricultural Minister, which could be said to have taken away a lot of power.

Of course, having taken away Princess Youruo's power, the punishment for Old Liu wasn't considered heavy either.

Dereliction of duty? That wasn't much of a stain. Myriad Law Clones derelict in duty? Anyone with a discerning eye could see this was just an excuse.

But what exactly happened? That wasn't something ordinary people could know.

Even Ji Che, standing on the ship, couldn't see clearly how the battle started and ended; those below Second-Rank weren't qualified to know the inside story.

Even if they knew, who would dare to gossip?

The Jing Emperor didn't punish them for the Princess incident, using other reasons instead; was it anyone else's place to gossip?

Even talking about it in private had to be done carefully!

"Although Liu Tianning is crazy, he ultimately won't use underhanded tricks, but this disciple of his, really—"

"Turning people into pigs and filming it, he really has his ways."

"Liu Tianning brought back the Princess, he brought back a boatload of pigs."

"Tsk tsk."

Fate Official Ji Si looked at the classified files and couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xing had asked the Duke of Wei to cast a silence spell, preventing other witnesses from speaking out; he wanted to keep the dark history of these stubborn academy factions.

However, Fate Official Ji Si enjoyed it all.

Especially the process of Hou Bian's restoration; they were all stark naked, which was very eye-stinging.

Some even suffered aftereffects, still oinking even after turning back into humans.

It wouldn't be surprising if they oinked for no reason in the future.

"I'm afraid it will leave psychological trauma—" The King of Luo, who was reviewing the event with Ji Si afterward, couldn't help but chuckle. "In the future, whoever spars with him in a domain, facing this Pig-Transformation Law, will have to endure immense psychological pressure."

Except for the Great Dao struggle, domain sparring certainly wouldn't result in deaths; as such, the Pig-Transformation Law didn't cause much physical damage,

but it was extremely insulting!

Especially for those powerhouses who usually held high positions and had everything they wanted, they valued their face above all else.

If they were to lie there as a naked pig and oink twice, that would be too shameful.

"It has been a long time since anyone has been able to practice Wu Cheng's spells to such a profound level."

"Even Ling Tianchen didn't cultivate it to the ultimate level," the King of Luo said. "I heard he is also going to inherit Li Boqian's Yuanfeng Art?"

Ji Si nodded: "Yes, after leaving Fengjing, he went to the Profound Heaven Academy in Daoyuan Continent."

Profound Heaven Academy, Huaxi Courtyard.

Blue sky and white clouds, sunlight shining down, Li Boqian lay leisurely on a chair, drinking fruit juice.

"Kid, aren't you under house arrest for four years?"

"How fresh, you dare to defy the imperial decree again?"

"Master, don't talk nonsense," Zhao Xing waved his hands hurriedly. "My true body is still being suppressed by the imperial decree at the Peak of Qitian."

The Jing Emperor's house arrest decree was really no joke; it could truly keep a person unable to move. It was just like how Princess Youruo could only kneel on the dragon bed back then.

"Another clone here to learn?" Li Boqian stood up with a smile. "The Yuanfeng Art is not that simple."

"You should give it a try; if it really doesn't work, we'll come down to find you later."

"Is it appropriate for you to come down to find me? Hahaha!"

After joking with the old man for a while, starting from October of the 56th year of Dazhi, Zhao Xing began learning the ultimate spell "Yuanfeng" here with Li Boqian.

Except for the true body at the Peak of Qitian, Zhao Xing only had two clones outside.

One was at the Princess's Mansion in Bixian Commandery of the East Sea, and the other was by Li Boqian's side.

Zhao Xing had once participated in 【Impossible Training】 and knew that this kind of array had a limit.

What's more, if it could really forbid Liu Tianning's ten thousand method clones, Old Liu's clones now wouldn't be able to speak.

Obviously, this Dean You still lacked some heat.

His hands waving became afterimages, but he still couldn't make the divine talisman array close and completely seal Liu Tianning; instead, the range expanded larger and larger.

Like breathing jellyfish, but the whole was constantly expanding!

"Dean You, I will help you!"

Yao Wuji instantly turned into a light shadow, trying to drill into the battlefield.

However, before he entered the battlefield, he was slapped away by a vine.

*Bang!

On Yao Wuji's black battle armor, a clear dent appeared, leaving the mark of the vine.

Floating Vine!

Unlike Zhao Xing's green Floating Vine, Liu Tianning's Floating Vine was blood-colored.

Also Ninth Grade, obviously Old Liu's was more ferocious!

Seeing that his companions couldn't hold Liu Tianning, Chen Ju wanted to act.

Zhao Xing immediately transmitted his voice and shouted: "Chen Ju, you also don't be impulsive! Otherwise, you will surely regret it endlessly!"

Chen Ju stopped his movements and turned his head to look: "What does the Marquis of Divine Might mean by this?"

Zhao Xing snorted: "Are you playing dumb? You are a First Grade expert of the Mo Shou Academy; you should know that what I brought back is not just that giant god weapon for the Divine Luo King."

Chen Ju's expression changed, and Zhao Xing knew he knew about the Fuming Furnace.

He immediately transmitted his voice again: "Chen Ju, I don't care about your philosophy of peace or war; such a strange object as the Fuming Furnace fell into the hands of your Mohist school, you should at least owe me a favor!"

Chen Ju wanted to play dumb, but now he couldn't play dumb at all.

He sighed immediately: "Since the Marquis of Divine Might says so, Chen Ju will no longer interfere."

"But I also advise the Marquis of Divine Might not to act willfully and ruin yourself."

Zhao Xing said: "No need for you to worry about this; move faster, I'm going to fire the cannon!"

Chen Ju: "..."

He was quite decisive; the mechanism box behind him instantly turned into a pair of silver wings and flew away as a silver stream of light.

*Boom!

Just after Chen Ju left, a Fire Source Divine Cannon exploded in the air beside You Xuanfeng.

*Hum~*

You Xuanfeng was blown dizzy by the smoke, and he flew out of the smoke, gray-faced, only to find that Chen Ju had disappeared.

At the same time, the Divine Luo Heavenly Sword was fired, locking onto Yao Wuji.

This burly man had just been slapped away by the Floating Vine and was standing unsteadily when he saw a golden sword with dragon scales flying over.

"What?!" Yao Wuji was shocked.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

This thing was a new product created by Great Zhou craftsmen imitating Yin Xiu's Dragon King Reverse Scale Sword.

After nearly a hundred years of research, it could already break the rule Dao Arena!

Although the Wu Yao warship was a Ninth Grade warship, its weapons and equipment were very advanced. After all, who was Old Master Zhao?

A Dragon Emperor candidate of the Dragon Court! He brought out so many precious materials; wasn't it easy to get a share of this thing?

Just saying it imitated Yin Xiu's Dragon King Reverse Scale Sword, without Old Master Zhao's order, could Yin Xiu cooperate?

Bringing Chen Ju was to prevent Old Master Zhao from getting carried away, but as a result, Chen Ju performed 【Boundless Mohist】, which was seen through by Zhao Xing.

Such a strong mechanism master, there was no reason not to know about the Fuming Furnace.

As long as he knew, he automatically owed Old Master Zhao a favor.

*Rumble~*

With a wave of fluctuations, You Xuanfeng was blown gray-faced, and Yao Wuji was even worse; his arm was gone.

"First warning!" Zhao Xing's voice came from the ship, "Dean You, next time it won't be an air burst. Yao Wuji, next time I cut off your head!"

"I also practiced the Ten Thousand Method Straw Man, but I can also go crazy," Zhao Xing said gloomily.

The two were actually shocked by Zhao Xing.
