Chapter 319: Boundless Juzi, Divine Talisman, Snatching the Bride Successfully

"Princess, we have entered the territory of Pinghai Prefecture."

"There are still seven days before we cross the Canglan River."

On the Imperial Marriage Ship, outside the screen, Liu Wanliang's voice was soft.

Behind the screen, the exquisitely dressed Ji Anlan knelt on the mat, her body motionless.

Liu Wanliang continued to report in a low voice: "The Yan Guang Royal Court's wedding procession has arrived at the Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture to wait, and it has been very peaceful along the way..."

Speaking of this, Liu Wanliang couldn't help but feel a bit of pity.

Peaceful all the way—this was too cruel for Princess Princess Youruo.

However, Princess Princess Youruo's tone was calm: "I know, you may leave."

Liu Wanliang opened his mouth, seemingly having thousands of words to say, but in the end, he only cupped his hands: "Yes."

On the other side of the screen.

Ji Anlan was kneeling and dazed, her whole body shining brightly.

Besides the luxurious clothes and precious jewelry on her body, above her head, there was a small, golden dragon-shaped phantom swimming.

The swimming dragon spat out golden light, enveloping her whole body. The main body of the golden dragon was an imperial edict, an imperial edict that only Ji Anlan could see.

Princess Princess Youruo couldn't help but recall the scene that happened in the imperial palace after the second resolution.

That was the last time she saw her father before leaving the palace.

Ji Mingjing only wore a cyan long gown, with a wooden hairpin on his head; it could be said to be very simple.

She knelt on the mat just like today, watching her father walk into the sealed palace.

That was the first time she saw her father clearly, and it was also the appearance of her father closest to her impression, not the Emperor.

He knelt on the opposite side of her, father and daughter looking at each other, as if they had many things to say, but they remained silent for a long time.

"Anlan, how about Father makes a bet with you?" Ji Mingjing spoke first.

"Father, please speak." Ji Anlan said softly.

"You follow the ceremony to leave the palace and attend the sacrificial ceremony, and I will find a way to let Liu Liu Tianning know about this."

"If he finds out and can bring you back before the Southern Barbarian Royal Court's envoy procession, I will give you two a chance."

"If he doesn't come, it proves he chose his official career and wants to realize his own ambitions, and you are not that important in his heart."

Ji Mingjing stared quietly at his daughter:

"If that is really the case, don't blame the Great Zhou, and peacefully strive for time for your brother to complete the mission."

Princess Princess Youruo also stared at her father:

"Daughter is willing to bet with Father."

Recalling that conversation, Princess Princess Youruo's heart was full of expectation.

She believed her sweetheart would come to save her.

Even if there were only seven days left before leaving the Great Zhou territory, she believed that as long as Liu Liu Tianning knew this news,

he would definitely understand her heart and rush over regardless of everything.

Liu Liu Tianning was indeed rushing towards the Canglan River; he was the Prince of Taihe, and with the Golden Dragon warship and the Ten Thousand Laws Palace dispatched, no one stopped him at all. Zhao Xing's Wu Yao warship followed closely behind.

If he could see the last conversation between Emperor Jing and Princess Princess Youruo, he would probably understand how the 'Old Demoness' was forged.

He would also understand why Princess Princess Youruo in the previous life only hated Liu Liu Tianning to the bone after returning to the country, but did not hate the Great Zhou, and instead gave a considerable amount of secret intelligence for Emperor Wu's conquest of the barbarians.

At this moment, Old Master Zhao was perfecting the bride-snatching plan on the Wu Yao warship.

"First, we must wait for the Great Zhou's escort procession to leave, wait for Princess Princess Youruo to leave the Great Zhou's territory."

"In this way, at least it won't be violating Old Jing's decree within the borders."

"If we can snatch Ji Anlan from the hands of the many Southern Barbarian experts, it can be said that the Southern Barbarian Royal Court couldn't protect the Princess at all, or didn't take the Princess's safety to heart at all—in short, we must leave some room for the Confucian scholars to debate the classics."

"Secondly, we must snatch her openly and honestly, not sneakily. Also, only Old Liu and I can go; Ji Che can only be a spectator, and absolutely no more people can be added." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

As for what to do after snatching her? There are plenty of reasons to find.

"The Red Emperor of ancient times had a daughter 'named Jisu', who was kind-hearted and deeply loved by the people. She fell in love with an immortal cultivator named Chisongzi."

3

"However, the Red Emperor was bewitched by the National Master and wanted to marry the Red Emperor's daughter to the land of Chongwu."

"Chisongzi's great-grandfather led people overnight to snatch the Red Emperor's daughter back to his own tribe."

"Since then, Jisu and Chisongzi lived together in a place called Pucheng, and taught the local villagers to plant 'five grains', which was deeply loved by everyone."

"After that, the villagers of Pucheng would hold sacrifices every year to thank the Red Emperor and Jisu for bringing '..."

"Five Grains Bountiful Harvest'."

Liu Liu Tianning was stunned: "Why don't I know there are such historical legends in the Shangluo Academy? Do the magic spells for a bountiful harvest have such allusions?"

"I haven't heard of it either. Big Brother, you made it up on the spot, right?"

Ji Che listened with great interest: "Chisongzi, isn't that Dean Liu? Then the Red Emperor and the Red Emperor's daughter are His Majesty and the Princess."

"But isn't the great-grandfather a bit too much? Also, Big Brother, I'm not in here."

Zhao Xing laughed: "History is vast, you can discover more."

That's right! How history is written, isn't that up to oneself later? Ji Che suddenly felt his train of thought opened up.

Big Brother is indeed a talent!

Liu Liu Tianning was distracted by the two, and he didn't think that much at all.

Just snatch, and after snatching, leave it to heaven. How to give His Majesty a reason to explain, that wasn't something he should consider.

Aren't there so many ritual scholars who are just eating for free?

Zhao Xing also just thought about it casually when he was bored.

Is Old Jing the kind of emperor who cares about face? Marrying off the princess had already achieved his goal. After snatching her back, he certainly wouldn't force Princess Princess Youruo to marry again.

He is the kind of person who 'wants the goods but doesn't want to pay'.

So this matter can definitely be done. If Emperor Jing was determined to marry off Princess Princess Youruo, then this matter couldn't have been done from the start; someone would have jumped out long ago to forbid him from leaving the Lingxu Blessed Land.

"The Yan Guang Royal Court's wedding procession has arrived at the Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture to wait. It is rumored that there are five First Rank Life Palace Realm experts, as well as the brothers of the Crown Prince Wan, seven Second Rank leaders, and five hundred Third Rank followers."

"Kill as many as there are, it's best to kill them all." Zhao Xing said.

Liu Liu Tianning nodded. In this way, they could also forge a deadly feud with the Southern Barbarian Yan Guang Royal Court, which was equivalent to cutting off the retreat for rebellion.

What could show loyalty better than forging such a private feud?

"Good, good, good!" Ji Che clapped his thighs excitedly, "It should be like this! Kill them all!"

"Within the Great Zhou territory, there are strong escorts, we certainly cannot make a move."

"According to the ritual system, after arriving at Yingyuan Prefecture, there will be a small team of guards and an honor guard following the Princess to the Yan Guang Royal Court."

"We snatch, but we cannot hurt our own people, and even more so, we cannot let our own people die, not even one."

Zhao Xing looked at Liu Liu Tianning.

The "own people" he mentioned didn't care what faction they belonged to; as long as they were Great Zhou's, they couldn't be killed.

Liu Liu Tianning also understood Zhao Xing's meaning: "I won't be impulsive."

Zhao Xing and Liu Liu Tianning could go to snatch the bride, and naturally, there were people who went to escort and facilitate this matter to proceed smoothly.

With Liu Liu Tianning's current strength and status, there were not many powerful families who dared to do this.

Only the strong from the seventy-two Daoist Academies dared to come and stop them.

But facing these people, Zhao Xing couldn't let Old Liu just hack them to death.

He came here mainly to hold Liu Liu Tianning back, to prevent him from killing too much, because this time was much more serious than when Old Liu was looking for Murong Qing back then.

Those who came were not Fourth or Fifth Rankers, at least they were all high-rankers. If they really did this, the nature of the matter would be too bad.

Time passed day by day, and soon the Princess's ship had crossed the Canglan River and stayed at the Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture.

At the same time, Zhao Xing and Liu Liu Tianning also arrived at the riverside.

"Big Brother, why aren't we moving?" Ji Che asked puzzledly.

"You stay here and watch, just cheer for us." Zhao Xing brought a huge Earth Mirror, "Do you know how to use this?"

"I can't go?" Ji Che patted his sword, "Big Brother, don't look down on me, my sword has yet to be tested!"

"With a three-foot green blade in hand, I can also kill some petty thieves!"

"You can send scout straw men to accompany us, but you must stay on this side." Zhao Xing said.

Ji Che understood, and could only say helplessly: "Fine."

He immediately put away his sword, pointed his finger, and a straw man clone condensed in the cabin.

The Four-Method-in-One Flying Divine Shield Martyrdom Scout Straw Man.

Zhao Xing had only taught him the intermediate straw man method.

"Rise!"

Straw men flew up. It seemed Ji Che still wouldn't give up; he made dozens of them in one breath—even if he couldn't cross the river, it would be satisfying to let the straw men go and explode them!

Zhao Xing was afraid that Emperor Wu would develop some rebellious heart, so he specially left a clone to accompany him.

Ji Che curled his lips, but could only stay in the city north of the river helplessly.

As for his straw man clones, they followed along.

Zhao Xing and the others didn't take the Princess's route.

Princess Princess Youruo's route after crossing the river was the Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture, while Zhao Xing and his teacher crossed the river into the Southern Barbarian buffer zone, a piece of extremely cruel wasteland.

"The Southern Barbarian land is actually this terrifying?" Ji Che could see the huge lightning snakes flashing in the sky and the raging gale through the straw man, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This can't be considered truly terrifying." Zhao Xing explained, "It doesn't even count as one-ten-thousandth."

Staying in the nineteen prefectures and staying in the Southern Barbarian region felt significantly different.

Terrifying celestial phenomena were rarely seen in the Great Zhou territory, but they could be seen everywhere in the Southern Barbarians.

The two warships had just crossed the river for a hundred miles when Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.

"Someone is coming."

Liu Liu Tianning also looked ahead.

Although he was a First Ranker, his soul power was not as strong as Zhao Xing's.

It was three breaths after Zhao Xing sensed it that he sensed the figures flashing in the thunderclouds ahead.

"'Zhan Sanchen' of the Jin Ling Daoist Academy." Liu Liu Tianning said coldly, "He is the elder brother of Zhan Sigong, and also the honorary vice-dean of the Jin Ling Daoist Academy."

"A Second Rank late-stage Sword Sect martial artist."

"He specializes in the Four Divine Sword Techniques of the Golden Spirit, entered the Dao with the Second Rank intent 'Lesser Yin Xin Metal', and practiced the 'Golden Battle Body'." Zhao Xing turned his head and asked: "Is he also one of the bad guys from back then?"

Liu Liu Tianning hummed: "No, his younger brother was, but he couldn't escape his indulgence either. His younger brother was killed by me in the fifth year of Dazhi."

Ji Che's straw man suddenly inserted itself between the two, his eyes shining: "Big Brother, Big Brother, what do you mean? Bad guys from back then? What other stories were there back then?"

"We'll talk later." Zhao Xing pushed the straw man's head away. Can't you wait for a proper occasion to eat melons?

"Oh."

Zhao Xing looked at the person in the thundercloud: "Teacher, no need to trouble you to make a move, I'll go solve it."

Liu Liu Tianning nodded silently.

He was indeed not suitable to make a move. Murong Qing was his pain back then, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and would kill him.

This had nothing to do with whether he was sober or not; Liu Liu Tianning had a feud with those people!

They blocked him once, and two hundred years later they came again?

If he really let Liu Liu Tianning make a move, he would have to go mad if he wasn't already.

"Swish~"

Zhao Xing rushed out of the warship and flew into the cloud layer.

Zhan Chen saw that it was Zhao Xing who flew out, and his eyes were full of contempt: "Why, Liu Liu Tianning killed my brother, and he doesn't even have the courage to face me? He has to send you, this disciple, to block the knife?"

"He certainly has the courage to play with women!"

Zhao Xing heard this and knew he was an old cynic, and he had no eye for the situation at all, not seeing his cultivation realm at all.

For this kind of old idiot, Zhao Xing had no intention of talking to him at all.

His body began to copy and paste, and twelve clones appeared in the blink of an eye, then disappeared into the cloud layer.

"Taking the initiative to attack a strong person? Zhao Xing, you are asking for it!" Zhan Chen roared, starting to activate his Golden Battle Body.

The blood in his body expanded, and his body began to grow larger.

According to reason, after he performed the third change of the Martial Dao Golden Body, his body would become larger, and his resistance to magic spells would also be greatly improved.

He was indeed larger, but it was not what Zhan Chen himself had imagined.

Why was there no Four Spirits Dharma Image with golden light flashing?

And why did his nose become longer?

Zhan Chen made a sound of doubt, and the next second he made the sound of a pig.

"Oink~ Oink~"

Zhan Chen: "???"

He was completely stunned.

Plop~

Rain fell from the cloud layer.

A drop of rainwater reflected in the pig's eyes showed his current appearance—a large pig head.

"!!!"

Zhan Chen screamed miserably, struggling constantly.

But it was useless. Not long after, a vine wrapped around his fat body.

The branches of the Floating Vine tied his fat body tightly, and the leaves also tightened, sealing his mouth and nose.

"Shh~" Zhao Xing put his finger to his lips, and pointed to the clones beside him with his other finger: "Don't scream, we are filming."

Zhan Chen looked, and sure enough, he saw clones carrying large echo shells and Mirage Pearls recording on the spot.

Zhan Chen: "!!!"

Zhao Xing smiled: "Zhan what's-his-name? You don't want your appearance as a pig to be seen by your disciples, grandchildren, friends, and relatives, right?"

"If you don't want to, then don't scream."

"This Marquis is kind-hearted; as long as you are obedient, I won't do such a crazy thing, hehehe~"

The lightning reflected on Zhao Xing's face, and the sinister smile on his face, which was flickering in light and shadow, made Zhan Chen's pig skin tremble, and the whole pig became honest.

Death is not scary, social death is scary!

He discovered what a wrong decision it was to come here!

Liu Liu Tianning was purely mad; he would die at most, but this disciple—he was just too scary!

Seeing that Zhan Chen was honest, Zhao Xing led him away from the cloud layer. He didn't send him to Old Liu's Golden Dragon warship to be locked up,

but returned to the Wu Yao warship.

"Wow! What a big golden fat pig!"

Ji Che's straw man stood on the deck, and when he saw Zhan Chen, he was stunned.

He had never seen such a big pig!

"Big Brother, is this the Pig-Transformation Method you once mentioned, passed down from the first Grand Minister of Agriculture, Wu Cheng?" Ji Che asked with admiration.

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded, "However, compared to Senior Wu Cheng, there is still a big gap."

"This is an ultimate method, but I only practiced it to the top-grade perfection level."

"If it were the ultimate level, it would be a real pig, and the body size would be the same as an ordinary pig."

"After seven days, it will completely turn into a pig."

"However, it is very large now. Even if it turns into a pig, its combat power is very strong, and it can knock a Third Rank early-stage expert into injury."

Zhao Xing performed the External Practice Weather-Change Method, which could reduce Zhan Chen's strength to this level at most.

Of course, even this was very terrifying.

Zhan Chen was a Second Rank late-stage expert!

Now that he had turned into a pig, he couldn't even knock a Third Rank expert to death, only into injury.

In addition, his pig method lasted for a full three months. From a certain perspective, although it didn't have the lethality of Wu Cheng's, this was not a kind of torture.

Ji Che's nickname was, and at this time, seeing this big fat pig, he was very curious, touching here and looking there.

He even opened Zhan Chen's pig ears to look.

Making Zhan Chen want to die.

However, he was tied tightly by the Floating Vine, and the more he struggled, the tighter it became, until he finally gave up resistance completely.

Anyway, it was already like this, should it be impossible to tell who he was?

Zhao Xing shook the Mirage Pearl and echo shell in front of Zhan Chen, signaling him to keep quiet.

Zhan Chen's heart was as dead as ashes, lying on the ground motionless.

"You have learned a lot during your seclusion." Liu Liu Tianning naturally saw the whole process of the battle.

However, he didn't expect that Zhao Xing's clone would also perform the top-grade nine-rotation Weather-Change Method, only one level away from perfection.

And Liu Liu Tianning didn't know the pig method.

How could the ultimate external practice Weather-Change Method be so easy to practice?

Only a guy like Zhao Xing, who was proficient in three factions, could master it, and not only practiced it, but also walked out of his own characteristics, different from Wu Cheng's path.

"This is simply more uncomfortable than killing him." Liu Liu Tianning laughed happily, "Why didn't I think of this before, that I could clean up those stubborn old guys like this?"

The relics of the Daoist Academy valued those old rules very much and cared about face.

Zhan Chen was probably feeling very uncomfortable in his heart right now.

"Teacher is open and honest, with a heart like a newborn." Zhao Xing said.

Liu Liu Tianning could see injustice and rush into the thieves' den to kill them all, but he wouldn't think of these tricks.

Old Master Zhao was different; what kind of crazy operations couldn't he do?

"It really is something he can do." In the Jiuzi Palace, King Luo stood on the viewing platform of the Juzi Palace, his eyes full of Earth Mirrors.

Not only monitoring the Princess's guard and the southern barbarians, but also all the unusual movements around the Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture.

As a staunch pro-war faction, King Luo never believed that marriage alliances could solve the Southern Barbarian problem.

All his actions were based on the strategic thinking that the Southern Barbarians were a life-and-death enemy.

Of course, another point was that he also wanted to watch Liu Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing.

To avoid doing anything excessive, angering the aging Emperor Jing, and doing something irreversible.

"Grand Marshal, is this really okay?" Lu Ying, the Military Minister of Works, looked blankly at Zhan Chen who had turned into a pig in the picture.

"What's the problem? Now they are all acting in a private capacity outside the borders, what problem could there be?"

Lu Ying said: "I'm worried that the one surnamed Zhan won't be able to change back, which will be hard to explain."

"Rest assured." King Luo said lightly: "Zhao Chen'an has always had a sense of proportion."

Even the impulsive act of Zhao Xing scolding the Prince of Liang back then, looking at it now, was also great wisdom!

It was a pity that King King Tianyan couldn't see this scene, and he and Ji Si couldn't get along, so he could only chat with this Minister of Works about the past.

"Back then, he—"

"Grand Marshal—don't, don't be excited." Lu Ying was almost suffocated, covering his neck, his face showing pain. The pressure released by King Luo just now had invisibly stopped his blood and energy, and even the 【Boundless Juzi】 in his body had stopped running.

"Hmm?" Hearing Lu Ying's cry, King Luo immediately retracted his battle intent.

The Princess's escort route was simple and clear, so their route was basically clear as well.

King Luo was equipped with divine artifacts and was completely at the strength of the Rule Realm. Leaking a little pressure was enough to make him unable to breathe.

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

"Yes." Lu Ying hurriedly went to operate the Juzi Palace.

Fengyu Plain, the battle started and ended very quickly.

Liu Liu Tianning could be said to have made a move with hatred, and the people who came to block him along the way reminded him of the past. Now, although he luckily managed to snatch back Princess Youruo.

But he also had a breath of anger in his heart.

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

Then he could only pour this breath on the Southern Barbarians.

"30,000 top-grade Ten Thousand Laws clones, including Soul-Devouring Dharma Body, Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body, Profound Fire Dharma Body, Yellow Springs Dharma Body, Earth-Element Dharma Body, Floating Dharma Body, Heaven-Travel Dharma Body."

"Seven Great Dharma Bodies, the Soul-Devouring magic spell focuses on soul magic, mainly using soul attack methods in the Yan Shen Dongyan Jue, Old Liu learned them all, "Soul-Extinguishing Bell", "Soul Meteor", "Three Soul Seal"." Zhao Xing watched below.

The Soul-Devouring Dharma Body didn't need to consider defense or anything; anyway, it was the clone that was lost.

Breaking one or two clones didn't have much impact, unless more than one-tenth were lost, then the soul power consumption would be a bit large.

In addition, the materials for Liu Liu Tianning to build the straw man clones were all Ninth Rank materials. If too many were lost,

there would be a great loss in soul power and financial resources.

"Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body is an advanced version of the Martyrdom Dharma Body. Combined with the "Soul Meteor" in the Yan Shen Dongyan Jue, it is a completely suicidal attack method."

Zhao Xing watched below, Liu Liu Tianning's 500 【Heaven-Meteor】 clones rushed towards Wan Yan and Wan Chang.

Combined with Soul Meteor, this first wave of explosions blew everyone except the seven First Rankers to death.

"Pure venting." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Although Wan Yan and Wan Chang have cultivated the Rule Realm, it is only a first-layer change, distorting the rules of heaven and earth. For top-grade magic spells, the power reduction is not very large."

"Old Liu's true self has also realized the Rule Realm, he doesn't need to fight like this at all."

Zhao Xing looked in all directions, each with a precious-grade plant,

"Spring's Heaven-Horn Bamboo, Summer's Golden Divine Pillar, Autumn's Yellow Springs Guide, Winter's Snow Cangwu."

"This is the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Domain!"

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

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

It was just a Rule Domain, not a Rule Dao Field.

But this was enough to dominate among First Rankers. After all, if it were fully exerted, it would be comparable to the Rule Realm!

Old Liu's Rule Domain now, because it was performed through precious-grade divine trees, was incomparably strong.

Wan Yan and Wan Chang also had precious-grade divine weapons in their hands, which could distort the rules of heaven and earth, but they couldn't suppress Liu Liu Tianning at all, and instead were suppressed by the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Field.

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

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

The disciple helped so much, and there happened to be First Rank enemies, so he could fight with his hands free, so he taught Zhao Xing by the way.

Within the Great Zhou territory, there were few opportunities.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"

500 Heaven-Meteor Dharma Bodies erupted together, and the terrifying power set off 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 Heaven Eye Method, which could see some clues by distorting the energy fluctuations. After all, everything was under Old Liu's control, and he was completely fighting according to the textbook.

It was just to let the disciple see clearly.

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

His eyes emitted golden light, and dust and smoke were completely hidden from his vision.

He could see a layer of shell-like protective shield emerging on Wan Yan and Wan Chang.

However, the Heaven-Meteor Dharma Body was not just a self-explosion of Ninth Rank material clones, it also performed "Soul Explosion" while exploding.

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

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah~"

Watching them in such pain, Liu 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 performed by the old man, there would be no chance for them 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 Liu Tianning also smiled. He had never been poor, and this concept was brought to fighting.

The battles he fought were basically wealthy battles!

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

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

Zhao Xing stared carefully. When he participated in the Ling Mountain realization, he hadn't practiced the Ten Thousand Laws clones, concentrating his energy on the Mountain Method, the second layer of the Yan Shen Dongyan Jue, the Pig-Transformation Method, and the rest of the Heavenly Time and Earthly Benefit methods.

At that time, his true self's thinking was in a dormant state, and with Old Liu's precedent in front, he didn't rush to study top-grade Dharma Bodies.

Even now, he only used them as a reference.

Because the five major clones practiced by Xu Xing and the seven major Dharma Bodies of Liu Liu Tianning had overlaps and differences.

The straw man method was also divided into the Liu faction and the Wu faction, and the Yan Shen Dongyan Jue would also produce individual differences due to people. Zhao Xing wanted to walk his own path, and he wanted to be stronger than Liu Liu Tianning.

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

"The Yellow Springs Method determines life and death. The life force in their bodies will be extracted by my Dharma Body."

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

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

The wind also became a tangible black.

Zhao Xing's Heaven Eye vision had already excluded many interferences, but still saw this strange scene.

"Extracting life force? Truly terrifying. Even if it can't be killed for a while, life force slowly passes away. I chose the Wood Element for my Method Body back then, which was the Cangwu Intent, but this Yellow Springs Dharma Body is not impossible to learn."

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

It is rumored that the real Immortal Tree, Cangwu Tree, and Yellow Springs Tree were no longer alive, only materials like leaves and a branch were circulating for people to realize the intent.

Old Liu's Yellow Springs Guide was also a variation of the Yellow Springs Tree, which couldn't be counted as the real Yellow Springs Tree.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be at the precious-grade level, but at the peerless rare treasure level.

The Floating Dharma Body was an advanced version of the Flying Dharma Body, based on the vine leaves and branches of the Floating, making the Floating Dharma Body the fastest among the seven major Dharma Bodies.

It was even faster than Xu Xing's Heaven-Travel Dharma Body.

"Boom crack!"

"Woo woo woo!"

Thunder roared, and the gale howled.

Wan Yan and Wan Chang, although protected by precious divine weapons, had their life force passing away rapidly.

Reducing life span—even if each attack only extracted a little life force, the accumulation was very terrifying under the attack of so many clones.

The two aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, they didn't even have the strength 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, there are bugs coming."

Zhao Xing wasn't just watching. He had sent his clones very far away, and the clone furthest to the south could already see unusual movements appearing in the depths of the Fengming Mountain Range.

"Boom~"

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, even from a long distance, felt his clone being suppressed by a huge gravity.

"Good."

Liu Liu Tianning nodded. The clones stopped acting.

The true self pointed a finger, and the four divine trees in the east, west, north, and south shone brightly.

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

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

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

The west was desolate with autumn wind, and the Yellow Springs Tree induced black evil winds, as if forming a road leading 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. Every time it shook, snowflakes shot out, and the lethality of each snowflake exceeded the standard defense of a Second Rank expert.

When Liu Liu Tianning pointed a finger, the pure element projection began to squirm.

The heaven and earth in all four directions converged.

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

"The whole heaven and earth want them to die, just like crossing a tribulation."

"The four divine woods each have their own wonders. Even if the enemy holds one kind of precious treasure and can block one kind of rule, when the four gods converge, the rules of heaven and earth cycle and intersect, generating and destroying each other, just like You Xuanfeng's magic symbol array, which can constantly change attack methods."

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

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

In fact, Old Master Zhao was reminded 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 Emperor Wu, and he also possessed First Rank combat power, and his Qi Gathering (level) had reached ninety-nine stages.

He and seven experts from the Brothers Guild accepted the Old Demoness's mission to fight Liu Liu Tianning, and finally encountered Liu Liu Tianning's true self once.

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

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

After that, the players never accepted the "Assassinate Liu Liu Tianning" mission again.

At this time, Liu Liu Tianning hadn't reached the level of his previous life. After all, the Yuan Qi tide had occurred then, spiritual energy was favored, and heaven and earth changed. He was stronger then than he was now.

Seeing the four divine trees of the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Field this time, Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"Fortunately, all four trees will be ours in the future, and they weren't killed in vain." Zhao Xing teased 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 Liu Tianning immediately put away their clones and retreated towards Yingyuan Prefecture.

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

The mother bug is in the Rule Realm, of course, the Yan Guang Royal Court couldn't dispatch the mother bug.

But even so, without the Divine Farmer's Hoe, it was very difficult to kill this bug.

Because it was born to be able to manipulate earth veins for protection, and could also spit earth fire, not to mention its thick skin and flesh, and it could easily drill into the deep underground where escape methods couldn't reach.

If it were bitten and dragged into the deep underground, and the divine tree was lost, it would be a huge loss.

Since the Great Zhou was prepared, they didn't need to be brave.

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

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

"How could it be like this?"

Ji Che looked at the hurried porters, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.

He subconsciously wanted to find a familiar figure, quickly arriving at the Tianma Lake.

Then, Ji Che saw a familiar figure.

"Big Brother!" Ji Che flew over.

"Fifth Brother." Zhao Xing nodded with a smile.

Ji Che looked at Zhao Xing, as if seeing a life-saving straw: "Big Brother, do you have any way to let the Eldest Princess stay?"

After a pause, he saw Zhao Xing constantly having clones carrying boxes, seemingly packing things.

"Sorry, I was talking nonsense." Ji Che's expression was dejected.

Although Zhao Xing was the Marquis of Divine Might, in the Second Rank Realm, what way could he have?

The matter was already a foregone conclusion, and he also had to move obediently.

"Big Brother, where are you moving to?"

"Who said I'm moving?"

"Isn't it?"

Zhao Xing pointed to those large boxes: "Look at these things, do they look like they are for moving?"

Ji Che looked carefully and found that these were all things like Fire Source Divine Crystals, Hunyuan Magic Array Stones, Divine Luo components...

Following the direction these boxes were being transported, he discovered that these things were being equipped on a huge warship!

Wu Yao warship! A Ninth Rank top-grade warship!

As a special permission from Emperor Jing, Zhao Xing's vehicle was allowed to be equipped with military heavy weapons.

"Big Brother, you, what are you going to do?" Ji Che asked somewhat blankly.

"I'm going to commit a mistake." Zhao Xing said lightly.

"You, you want to..." The intelligent Ji Che immediately reacted, and an astonishing guess emerged in his mind.

After learning this guess, his mouth couldn't help but open wide, but his eyes became bright.

Zhao Xing jumped onto the ship's side and looked back: "That's right, just like what you thought."

"I want to go too!" Ji Che quickly jumped onto the warship.

"You are still young, sit on that one." Zhao Xing reached out to hold his head, then pointed to the Golden Dragon warship slowly flying over from the sky, with a Ten Thousand Laws Palace shining brightly on it.

"Fifth Brother, Big Brother is taking you to snatch the bride, are you excited?" Zhao Xing smiled in his heart, watching Ji Che's reaction.

The moment Ji Che saw the Ten Thousand Laws Palace, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"Snatch! Big Brother, we must snatch the Eldest Princess back!" ===== CHAPTER 319 =====

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

"Boom~"

You Xuanfeng was instantly blasted dizzy, and when he flew out of the smoke, covered in dust, he was stunned to find that Chen Ju had already disappeared.

At the same time, the God Luo Heavenly Sword 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 covered in dragon scales flying toward him.

"What?!" Yao Wuji was shocked.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

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

After nearly a hundred years of research, it could already achieve the effect of breaking a rule-based domain!

Although the Wu Yao warship was a Ninth-Stage warship, its weaponry was very advanced. After all, who was Master Zhao?

He was a candidate for the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Court! Having brought so many precious materials out, wouldn't it be easy to get a share of this?

Just saying that it was modeled after Yin Xiu's Dragon King Reverse Scale Sword—without Master Zhao's order, could Yin Xiu have cooperated?

Bringing Chen Ju along was to prevent Master Zhao from acting impulsively, but Zhao Xing saw through Chen Ju's 【Boundless Rectifier】 technique.

Such a powerful mechanism master had no reason not to know about the Fuming Furnace.

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

"Rumble~"

As a wave of energy passed, You Xuanfeng was blasted covered in dust, and Yao Wuji was even worse off; his arm was already gone.

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

"I've also cultivated the Myriad Law Straw Man, but I can also go crazy," Zhao Xing said quietly.

The two were stunned by Zhao Xing for a moment.

If Liu Liu Tianning had killed them, the price would have been very high.

Zhao Xing... that was really hard to say.

This was from their perspective, because since the Yan Shen Dongyan Jue had been promoted, quite a few First Ranks had decrypted it. Coupled with the Dragon Court factor and the status of the three sects of the Grand Minister of Agriculture,

Zhao Xing carried more weight in their eyes than Liu Liu Tianning. He was clearly the capable general Emperor Jing had left for the next generation.

Zhao Xing was still so young; if he killed someone in a fit of impulse, would Emperor Jing really kill Zhao Xing to avenge them? This was a private matter happening outside the borders! They had come to block him, not under any imperial decree.

Who knew if Zhao Xing was in a clear state of mind? They didn't know!

Anyway, with Chen Ju gone, they couldn't beat Liu Liu Tianning either. After a flash of thought, You Xuanfeng and Yao Wuji chose to retreat.

"Swish~ Whoosh~"

The two disappeared instantly.

"Hahaha, Big Brother is mighty!" Ji Che danced with joy, jumping up in excitement.

"They didn't necessarily have the heart to block us to the death; it was nothing more than a show for His Majesty," Zhao Xing said.

"That is exactly why these people are detestable," Ji Che said. "If they were truly willing to die for their convictions and insisted on blocking us, I would have thought more highly of them—humph, hypocrites!"

Zhao Xing looked at Ji Che and couldn't help but smile.

The young Wu Di at this moment was a proper angry youth.

Not bad, not bad.

Inside the Rectifier Palace, the Luo Hou Wang stared at the Earth Mirror and couldn't help but smile.

"The pro-peace faction is easily compromised. It's true, if they can make peace with the enemy, how can they be so firm?"

"The Grand Marshal is right," Lu Ying was a Military Works Minister, and in the Mohist mechanism faction, he belonged to the proper pro-war faction. "Stopping war with war, war is the way!"

"Chen Ju, humph, what a waste of his skills!"

Time passed, and with the departure of the three First Ranks, no one else jumped out to block Liu Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing.

At this time, inside the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Mansion, the Southern Barbarian escort team had also completed the handover of their escort duties.

A large number of guards and honor guards remained in the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Mansion, with only a small portion continuing to follow Princess Princess Youruo on her journey.

Until they completely left the territory of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Mansion, Princess Princess Youruo's eyes gradually turned desperate.

She held a small straw man in her arms and muttered to herself: "Are you really going to let me lose?"

"You overturned half the world's academies for Murong Qing, and burned the life of the Floating Vine to save Zhao Xing,"

"yet you won't be impulsive for me..."

Princess Princess Youruo pinched the straw man, her fingers turning white, the expression on her face becoming increasingly desperate.

Just as she was about to tear the straw man in her hand to pieces, suddenly, "Protect the Princess!"

"Enemy attack!"

"What? Sleeping at a time like this?!"

"Get up quickly!"

"What kind of vine is this, ah—" Princess Princess Youruo immediately pricked up her ears to listen, hope reigniting in her eyes.

She shouted toward the door: "Minister Liu, what happened outside?"

Liu Wanliang did not answer, but a figure appeared outside the screen.

"My Princess, your servant is late."

Hearing the familiar voice, Princess Princess Youruo's tears burst forth.

At the same time, the dragon-shaped imperial decree phantom above her head dissipated, no longer shrouding Ji Anlan.

As the golden light dissipated, Princess Princess Youruo grabbed the imperial decree, quickly walked off the dragon bed that had confined her for many days, crossed the screen, and threw herself into Liu Liu Tianning's arms, holding him tightly and patting his back incessantly.

"Wu Wu Wu Wu~"

"It's alright, I'm here, don't cry." Liu Liu Tianning stroked Princess Princess Youruo's face.

"There is still fighting outside; I cannot keep Zhao Xing waiting too long."

Princess Princess Youruo looked up: "Zhao Chen'an came too?"

"Ahem, it seems this disciple has come at a bad time?" Zhao Xing's figure flashed from the side.

He actually didn't want to eavesdrop, but Old Liu's words were just too persuasive.

He had only said it casually, but the first thing he said when he saw Princess Youruo was actually so romantic...

Master Zhao was also genuinely interested in this gossip; after all, although he didn't want to talk about it himself, he liked watching others talk.

"You..."

Princess Princess Youruo blushed, a rare sight.

"Ahem." Zhao Xing cupped his hands upon seeing this: "Please, Teacher, move to the Myriad Law Palace; leave everything here to us."

"Wait!" Princess Princess Youruo quickly composed her emotions and took out an imperial decree from her bosom.

"Liu Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing, hear my decree!"

Zhao Xing was stunned, while Liu Liu Tianning quickly pulled him down to kneel.

Princess Princess Youruo waved her hand, and then the imperial decree unfolded, revealing a majestic voice.

"The Southern Barbarian monsters have uttered filthy words, tarnishing the dignity of the royal family and plotting rebellion!"

"I command you two to cooperate with the great army to execute the Southern Barbarian royal family and welcome the Princess back!"

"I will settle the crime of you two kidnapping the Princess when you return!"

"If you fail the mission, or if my daughter loses a single hair, bring your heads to see me!"

"Your servant obeys the decree!!!"

Zhao Xing shouted.

You really are something, Old Jing; you've played both the good guy and the bad guy! Master Zhao, I surrender!
