Chapter 192: Strength is Supreme

Hua Changxi really didn't expect that the other end of the Artifact Saint Palace's teleportation array would be the office of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Nancheng.

The shock on her face was too obvious, Tong Yao saw it and coughed lightly: "The Fusang Divine Tree appeared in the world, and all parties are paying attention to the artifact refining workshop. I can only take fellow Daoist through this passage."

Hua Changxi listened and her heart moved: "Have you set up many teleportation arrays?"

Tong Yao nodded: "Of course, even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The five major holy lands, all parties want to get involved, and the imperial court's investigation is everywhere, so we naturally have to be very careful."

The place where the teleportation array came out was in an abandoned courtyard in the backyard of the Embroidered Uniform Guard office. Tong Yao said while leading Hua Changxi over the wall, into a dark alley, through the dark alley, and the two arrived on the street where people came and went.

Hua Changxi didn't ask much about the Embroidered Uniform Guard, thinking about the teleportation array in her heart.

She had long wanted to set up a teleportation array, but because she didn't understand the technology in this area, she had been dragging it on. Now that she finally met someone who could communicate, she naturally wanted to inquire more.

"Besides refining artifacts, does fellow Daoist Tong also know how to set up arrays?"

Tong Yao shook his head: "Setting up arrays is a very delicate job. I have to study artifact refining on weekdays, so I have no time to learn arrays at all." After a pause, looking at Hua Changxi, "Does fellow Daoist Hua want to set up a teleportation array?"

Hua Changxi nodded and admitted: "Yes."

Tong Yao: "I don't know how to set up arrays, and the disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace are also good at refining artifacts. However, I can introduce someone who is good at setting up arrays to fellow Daoist Hua."

Hua Changxi smiled: "Then I will thank fellow Daoist Tong first."

The Embroidered Uniform Guard office was not far from the artifact refining workshop. The two didn't walk long before they saw the street ahead under martial law. Behind the street was the artifact refining workshop that had been discussed the most recently.

Looking at the street surrounded by the imperial court's troops, Tong Yao's face was very bad, and Hua Changxi's brows were also furrowed.

For no other reason, she saw her father and her eldest brother.

Hua Dalang was now a member of the Demon-Suppressing Army. Hua Changxi could understand his appearance outside the artifact refining workshop, but her father Hua Minghe was just a constable of the Six Doors, so why did he run to guard the street?

Hua Changxi moved her attention away from her father and brother, sized up the other troops surrounding the street, and soon, her eyes flickered: "The imperial court is indeed deep in foundation. Most of the cultivators sent to guard the street are actually in the Qi Sea realm."

The Demon-Suppressing Army specializes in dealing with various things of spiritual energy recovery, has many cultivation resources, and is powerful, so it's fine. But the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot actually have 70-80% of Qi Sea realm cultivators, and there are more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators.

Tong Yao's expression was a bit complicated: "The strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot was not so strong before. More than a month ago, the Fusang Divine Tree appeared in the world, spiritual energy surged, and many fire spiritual root cultivators near the artifact refining workshop took the opportunity to break through their realms."

Hua Changxi didn't expect this to be the reason: "In this way, the imperial court is afraid that it will be even more determined to win the five major holy lands."

Tong Yao nodded: "Not only the imperial court, but other powerful families will not let go." As he spoke, he showed helplessness, "With so many people staring, the disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace can only be careful and careful on weekdays, trying their best to hide themselves."

Hua Changxi listened and didn't quite agree with this approach: "But hiding like this all the time is not conducive to the development of the holy land, right?"

Tong Yao smiled bitterly: "There is no other way. The foundation of the imperial court and some cultivation families is too strong. If the Artifact Saint Palace dares to show its head, these forces will definitely get involved. By then, who will have the final say in the Artifact Saint Palace, and who can say clearly."

"Fellow Daoist Hua is not a person from the Medical Department? Nowadays, the Medical Department is controlled by the imperial court, and the vast majority of alchemists have chosen to rely on the imperial court and families. Even if the descendant of the Pill Saint Hall appears in the future, do you think how many people will listen to him?"

Hua Changxi instinctively retorted: "The Medical Department is the Medical Department, and the Pill Saint Hall is the Pill Saint Hall."

Tong Yao looked at her: "The Pill Saint Hall has the responsibility of guarding the array eye, and also has to teach medical and alchemy skills. These cannot be separated from people. People are controlled by the imperial court. Even if the descendant of the Pill Saint Hall is justified, he will be hollowed out."

These words made Hua Changxi think of Lu Yan again. Wasn't it Lu Yan who brought the demon race people in?

Even if it was the fire spirit mine she took the initiative to give up, and even called it giving it to Hua Liulang for practice, unless she started a massacre, she couldn't change the fact that she couldn't control the four old men of You.

Wasn't she hollowed out!

"What you say makes sense."

Tong Yao sighed: "Senior brother often says that managing people is the most difficult. Power struggles and interest distribution are very testing of a person's ability."

Hua Changxi's shortcomings in this area were very obvious, and she was not happy to deal with such things in her heart, and nodded in agreement: "You are so right, managing people or something, it's so troublesome, it's better to focus on cultivation and improving skills."

Tong Yao looked at Hua Changxi: "But if you don't hold power, you will always be controlled by others. People can't live in the world alone after all."

Hua Changxi didn't agree with this: "If I am invincible, who can do anything to me?"

Tong Yao was stunned after hearing this, and was surprised to find that the female cultivator whose strength was far above his seemed to be a bit... too pure?

Seeing Tong Yao's strange expression, Hua Changxi: "Why, am I wrong?"

Tong Yao shook his head: "It's not wrong, I just feel... fellow Daoist Hua is not a person who promotes violence."

Hua Changxi: "Of course I am not."

Tong Yao looked surprised: "Then why do you think violence can solve everything?"

Hua Changxi was stunned, and after a while: "I didn't say that violence can solve everything. My meaning is, my strength is strong enough, so no one can hurt me, and no one can stop me from doing what I want to do."

Tong Yao: "You are thinking that strength is supreme."

Hua Changxi asked back: "What's wrong with strength being supreme?"

Tong Yao was silent for a long time: "It's not wrong, I mean, fellow Daoist Hua, don't you have anyone you care about? If the person you care about stops you from doing something, what should you do?"

Hua Changxi was asked, and after a long time, she opened her mouth: "The people I care about must care about me. Since they care about me, how can they stop me from doing what I want to do? Fellow Daoist Tong's words really don't make sense."

Tong Yao saw her turn around and say to himself, and was speechless for a while: "... People are different, there will definitely be differences." After a pause, "Actually, I also had similar thoughts to fellow Daoist Hua before, but later experienced some things, and found that pursuing absolute strength supremacy is a torture to oneself. This way, you can neither find yourself nor see others."

Hua Changxi didn't agree with this at all: "That's your feeling, fellow Daoist. In the pursuit of strength, I have a great sense of achievement."

After all, it was just a person who had been in contact once, so Tong Yao didn't want to talk too deeply, coughed lightly, and quickly changed the subject: "Is fellow Daoist Hua familiar with Jingcheng? Do you have a place to stay?"

Hua Changxi didn't entangle in the previous topic: "Yes."

Tong Yao handed out a message talisman: "I have to go back and watch Xia Yang and Xia Xue. If fellow Daoist Hua has anything in the future, contact me with the message talisman. I will contact my friends after I go back about setting up arrays and igniting the white jade lotus petal. When they respond, I will notify you, fellow Daoist, at the first time."

Hua Changxi nodded and thanked: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Tong."

Watching Tong Yao disappear into the crowd, Hua Changxi withdrew her gaze, thinking about the conversation just now, and shook her head with a smile: "The difference between people is really big, actually feeling that pursuing strength supremacy is wrong?" ===== CHAPTER 193 =====
