Chapter 199: He is the Heaven's Mandated Person

Master, you once said that the disciple is the person of Heaven's Mandate.

So please grant the disciple's wish; the disciple will surely not die inside!

Zhou Tian opened his mouth again, speaking respectfully.

You want to become stronger; there are many ways; it's not that what you said is like that; that is the best.

Yu Mingyue furrowed her brows and spoke to stop.

Such a thing, for her, is also something she does not wish to happen.

If Zhou Tian dies, that would also be a loss for her.

After all, Zhou Tian is also a disciple she has painstakingly cultivated for many years.

To suffer such a loss, she still feels somewhat unwilling.

"Disciple understands, Master has many ways."

"However, Master, you also said that to accomplish great undertakings, one must have the resolve to break the cauldrons and sink the boats."

"Please, Master, fulfill this and let the disciple obtain improvement!"

Zhou Tian spoke sincerely, knocking his head to the ground with a solemn expression.

Yu Mingyue's willow brows were tightly knit; in fact, the Vast Heaven Secret Realm was what she had prepared for Zhou Tian.

This is the final plan for cultivating and improving Zhou Tian.

If Zhou Tian cannot break through, this is the last resort.

Now Zhou Tian actually proposed it himself; how could Yu Mingyue not worry?

Now, Yu Mingyue's greatest worry is still that Zhou Tian will die inside.

Zhou Tian still knelt respectfully on the ground, waiting for Yu Mingyue's decision.

Yu Mingyue let out a soft sigh, took out the turtle shell, and then, from Zhou Tian's body, she took out the blood from his forehead and dripped it onto the turtle shell.

Yu Linglong and Xiao Ruoshuang both stared intently at Yu Mingyue before them, watching her every move.

Regarding Zhou Tian's request this time, everyone still felt very surprised.

The divination result came out quickly.

Yu Mingyue closed her eyes tightly, then took a deep breath, and only then slowly exhaled.

"Master?"

Zhou Tian looked expectant, and Yu Mingyue gently nodded.

"This venerable one agrees."

As Yu Mingyue spoke, she exhaled a breath; in her expression and demeanor, there was a noticeable sign of exhaustion.

"Senior sister, the master's hand is trembling."

Yu Linglong gently pulled Xiao Ruoshuang's hand and spoke softly.

Xiao Ruoshuang also looked at Yu Mingyue before her, and happened to see that hand of Yu Mingyue, although hidden in her sleeve, still trembled slightly.

……

Zhou Tian obtained Yu Mingyue's permission and may proceed to the Vast Heaven Secret Realm.

For him, this is truly advancing toward death to live.

Whether he can turn things around now depends on this occasion.

Yang Jun seized Yun Xiyue and also seized the three senior sisters.

And Yun Fengyun's exploitation of him, the blow to him—all of this is the reason Zhou Tian feels indignant and is willing to risk death to storm the Vast Heaven Secret Realm.

Zhou Tian is also no longer willing to continue enduring his current situation.

The Vast Heaven Secret Realm, called a secret realm, is in fact a deadly peril.

This is a huge tomb.

Inside there are endless dangers and many crises.

Yet in such a place, it is the beginning of Zhou Tian's hoped-for change of fortune.

Wait, whether you are Yang Jun or Yun Fengyun, no matter what you imagine.

In short, in the end you will all be destroyed!

……

Yun Fengyun's heart is growing increasingly vexed; he continually cannot quite figure out how this matter should be concretely handled.

Yuan Lu also stood guard silently at the side; after so many years, he had never found that the previous situation had ever been as bad as this year.

"Yuan Lu!"

In Yun Fengyun's voice, Yuan Lu hastily tensed his body and bowed in salute.

"This old servant is here."

"Tell me, what has Xi Yue done to provoke someone? Actually someone wants to harm her?"

"That bastard Zhou Tian, before, he was constantly in front of me saying he would treat Xi Yue well; who would have thought that in the blink of an eye he became the first person who wants to harm Xi Yue!"

Yuan Lu lowered his head to listen, not daring to say a word.

But he could tell that although Yun Fengyun was verbally blaming Zhou Tian, in reality he was blaming Yang Jun.

Yun Fengyun's most beloved little princess, married to Yang Jun, yet cannot be protected well, encountering such a disaster—who wouldn't be angry?

Yuan Lu, go notify the Dragon Guard to go to the Prince's Mansion and make sure to protect Xi Yue and Yang Jun well.

If any situation arises, be sure to report to me.

Yun Fengyun issued the order in a deep voice; Yuan Lu hastily bowed to receive the command.

Moreover, the matter of the Tai Yi Yuan is probably already known to all.

Since Xi Yue's happy event can no longer be concealed, then tonight we shall prepare a banquet and notify the clansmen and officials.

This old servant obeys the order!

Yuanlu had no choice but to bow again and then depart with the command.

……

Uninvited guests arrived at Pingxi Prince's Mansion; ten black-robed men stood at the main gate.

We follow the imperial edict; from today we will guard the mansion and protect Her Highness the Princess and all personnel of the mansion.

Deng Jian heard the visitors' words, hurriedly took their token, and examined it closely.

Please wait a moment; let me go report to the Heir Apparent.

As Deng Jian spoke and turned around, the group followed him.

However, the group's leader had no intention of waiting outside; instead, he followed Deng Jian's steps and entered.

Gentlemen, please wait while I go inform the Heir Apparent.

Deng Jian frowned, turned around, and blocked the ten people behind him.

We are His Majesty's Imperial Guard; where may we not go?

Furthermore, in handling matters we have the authority to strike first and report later—this is an imperial prerogative; do you still dare to obstruct us?

The group's leader let out a cold snort and spoke in an overbearing manner.

This person is one of Yun Fengyun's Thirty-Six Dragon Guards, nicknamed Longshi.

Now leading the team here, he, accustomed to imperial prerogative, pays no heed to Pingxi Prince's Mansion.

While speaking, he waved his hand and led the people forward again.

However, just as he stepped forward with a single step, a whoosh sounded and a sharp aura came with the wind.

Longshi raised his brow, drew his blade, and slashed.

With a clang, an iron arrow was severed and fell to the ground.

However, Longshi saw his blade trembling and shaking, and his hand gripping the sword also continually quivered.

This scene let him realize that there are masters within the mansion.

He originally thought that, being a Seventh Rank Martial Dao cultivator, after Yang Ye went north, he could lead his forces here to intimidate Pingxi Prince's Mansion.

But who would have thought that, just as he had arrived, he would encounter such a master?

Longshi lifted his head and gazed forward.

A figure appeared, holding a mechanical crossbow.

Since you are the Dragon Guard sent by His Majesty to guard the mansion, this is only natural.

However, Xi Yue is pregnant; if she walks about the mansion and encounters you knife-wielding servants, should she be frightened, can you bear the responsibility?

Yang Jun sneered, and his words left Longshi stunned.

We bear the imperial mandate, endowed with imperial prerogative!

Longshi spoke again, unwilling to accept.
