Chapter 216

"In the Jianghu where he was back then, apart from him, no one dared to call themselves invincible."

"Had he not hidden his name and not appeared before the world, I fear his legend would still be circulating in the Jianghu today."

When Yu Ji spoke of Wu Wudi, his tone trembled involuntarily.

His expression carried something strange.

Back then, he had also challenged Wu Wudi.

But he was defeated without even taking ten of his moves.

Had he not run fast, and had Wu Wudi not wanted to kill, Yu Ji would have died long ago.

Later, Yu Ji summarized why he was defeated so quickly.

The techniques he excelled in were mainly various spells, assassination, curses, and other long-range and secretive killing methods.

The techniques cultivated by Wu Wudi were those of fierce attacks like fists, palms, blades, and swords.

Facing such an enemy head-on, Yu Ji completely abandoned his own advantages, which was truly too disadvantageous.

However, even so, Yu Ji had to admire Wu Wudi's talent and strength.

Later, he never looked for trouble with Wu Wudi again.

"Had Wu Wudi not stopped appearing, that guy Di Shitian would not have come out to establish the Tianmen organization."

"Although Di Shitian's talent is not very good, his shrewdness is not the slightest bit weaker than anyone else's."

"He even knows that we are unwilling to intervene in the secular world of dynasties and Jianghu."

"Moreover, his current energy is mainly focused on the Jianghu of the Great Han and the Jianghu of the Nine Provinces, and he has not intervened in the imperial court of the Great Han."

"I fear it is because he is worried that Wang Yue will hold a sword, or Tong Yuan will carry a spear, to find him at the Tianmen."

Zuo Ci pointed out Di Shitian's character all at once.

He had dealt with Di Shitian and knew how cunning this person was.

Had it not been for the many hidden factions and hidden peerless experts in the Great Han.

With Di Shitian's arrogant, conceited, and wild character, he would have long since come out to stir up the Jianghu and the imperial court of the Great Han into a mess.

Following this, Zuo Ci continued: "Nanhua, do you mean that Zhang Jiao is also a person like Wu Wudi?"

The Nanhua Immortal nodded, then sighed.

"Although it is somewhat embarrassing to say that I was surpassed by my own disciple."

"But, I have to admit, Zhang Jiao's talent is just this terrifying; no, his talent even far exceeds that of Wu Wudi back then."

"Not long ago, I went to Julu in Jizhou to observe Zhang Jiao and found that I could no longer see through his strength and realm."

"I think he also discovered me at the time, but just didn't pay any attention."

The tone of Nanhua's speech was somewhat helpless, and his face carried thick melancholy.

He also did not expect that a disciple he took on a whim after passing down techniques would reach such a point in just a few decades.

"This..."

Yu Ji's expression was very shocked.

He clearly knew how terrifying Wu Wudi was.

Now, this Zhang Jiao was actually even more talented than Wu Wudi.

How monstrous must this be?

"The Great Han's destiny is not yet exhausted; even if Zhang Jiao is stronger than us, he cannot destroy the Han; all he is doing now is futile."

Zuo Ci regained his calm, his tone very flat.

Although after the Golden List appeared, the Heavenly Dao became blurred.

It was also very difficult to accurately infer what would happen in the future through divination.

However, checking the fortune of a dynasty was still a very simple matter for someone of Zuo Ci's level.

"That's right, the fortune of the Great Han has indeed dropped to the lowest level in history, even worse than when Wang Mang usurped the Han."

"But, the little fortune that remains is not something we mortals can easily shake."

"We practitioners, who are called Earth Immortals, are ultimately just a group of slightly more powerful mortals; we are not true immortals."

When Yu Ji said these words, the brilliance that used to be in his eyes was lost.

Cultivating for many years, his strength was strong, his realm was high, and he was old.

But the more this was the case, the more Yu Ji understood that there was no end to cultivation.

"Let everything follow him."

"The people of the Great Han are now living in misery."

"The aristocratic families and eunuchs are colluding to control the imperial court."

"The Jianghu is even more undercurrents, with various aristocratic families supporting factions and sects behind the scenes."

"If it is really possible to overthrow the Great Han, or exhaust the last bit of the Great Han's fortune, perhaps it is a good thing."

Nanhua said faintly, also returning to his usual cold expression.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji did not say anything more, picked up their teacups, and continued to drink tea.

……

Great Qin, Mansion of the Ninth Prince.

"Reporting to Master, Eastern Japanese Onmyoji, ninjas, and samurai have secretly entered the Great Qin and headed to the Yin-Yang School."

Jin Luo Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Ying Ziyu immediately became interested.

He knew that these people from Eastern Japan were for the Heavenly Dao reward obtained by the Yin-Yang School—the Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram!

Onmyoji held a pivotal position in Eastern Japan.

Their Great Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, had now reached a bottleneck.

As long as he obtained the Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram, he would definitely be able to step into a brand new realm.

With the nature of those people in Eastern Japan, they would definitely do this at all costs.

"The Yin-Yang arts of the Yin-Yang School, and the Yin-Yang arts of the Onmyoji, in a sense, also belong to Daoist techniques."

"In that case, the Heavenly Dao reward of the Wudang Sect is also useful to them."

"I fear those Eastern Japanese people are regretting so much right now that they want to commit seppuku every minute!"

Ying Ziyu teased.

"Eastern Japanese people have always been insidious and cunning."

"To achieve their goals, they have always been unscrupulous."

"This servant feels that one must absolutely not show mercy when dealing with these people."

"We must use thunderous means to eliminate them all, and let the Eastern Japanese know that the Nine Provinces are not something they can covet!"

Jiang Yuyan's tone was very flat, but there was strong killing intent in her eyes.

The Holy Land of Seven Emotions and Six Desires had been deceived by Eastern Japanese people back then.

Leading to the death of the previous Saintess, who was Jiang Yuyan's master.

Therefore, Jiang Yuyan had always hated the Eastern Japanese to the bone, wishing to kill them all.

"Eastern Japanese people should indeed be killed."

"Let's go, follow me to the Yin-Yang School."

Ying Ziyu rose and said.

"As you command!"

Jiang Yuyan and Jin Luo Yi said at the same time.

Immediately after, the three disappeared from the Mansion of the Ninth Prince, and no one noticed.

……

Great Qin, Yin-Yang School base.

"Chaos Universe Dao Treasury, good stuff."

"However, this seat does not need it!"

"This seat wants to walk a path of my own!"

Donghuang Taiyi said with resonance and force, his tone very determined.

Whether he wanted to meet Ying Ziyu, or comprehend the techniques left behind by Dongjun and Shao Siming when they killed Star Soul.

These were all to perfect his own techniques, so as to better walk a path that completely belonged to himself.

This was Donghuang Taiyi's ambition, and even more so the thing he pursued in this life.
