At this moment, realization dawned on PEI Ling. No wonder there was such a coincidence. It was Sihong Miaoli who did it!

"Where is Junior Sister Song now?" he asked.

The four female cultivators were silent for a moment. Chen jingmeng said, " "It's sangluo city, which is under the rule of my nine luminaries mountain."

The nine luminaries mountain ...

PEI Ling's brows furrowed slightly, and his voice was cold as he grandly spat out a single word."Reverse!"

In an instant, the soul Dao seal that he had just crushed reappeared. The grey-black smoke whistled and returned to the four female cultivators 'bodies exactly the same way it had been extracted.

The four female cultivators were only dazed for a moment before they returned to their wooden expressions. Their eyes were wide open, but they were empty and at a loss.

Then, the torn black robes that were scattered on the ground flew back and returned to normal. They covered the four female cultivators again, and the hood was pulled down to cover their faces.

In that instant, the four female cultivators returned to their previous state.

In the seat of honor, PEI Ling shook his head. Initially, he had planned to release the four Orthodox female cultivators through si hongduo after he was done asking his questions. But now, Sihong Miaoli was still in the nine luminaries mountain, and these four female cultivators knew that there was a problem with Sihong Miaoli. Once they regained their freedom, Sihong Miaoli would be in danger!

Of course, he could use the [ art of oblivion ] to make the four female cultivators forget everything that had just happened.

However, this time was different from the last time. The Great War between the Orthodox Dao and the demon Dao was still ongoing, and the Orthodox Dao could not spare any high-level cultivators to investigate the temporary disappearance of the four female cultivators.

However, the war between the righteous and demonic Dao had already ended, and the four female cultivators had disappeared in the territory of the righteous Dao. Once a Dao integration stage cultivator who had mastered the laws made a move, it wouldn't be difficult to undo the 'law' that PEI Ling had set!

Sihong Miaoli was one of his people now, and he couldn't let her take that risk!

"For the time being, I'll let them stay by my side ..."

Below the guest courtyard.

On the lakeside.

Towering ancient trees covered a simple-looking Pavilion.

At this moment, mist rose up around the pavilion like clouds. It was like a thin veil that wrapped around the entire Pavilion, only revealing the cornice and the horns.

The formation in the pavilion was activated to prevent prying eyes from the outside world. Several officials dressed in official robes stood with their hands behind their sleeves, led by Gao Huijing. They faintly surrounded a purple-robed old man with white hair and a calm aura.

The old man's eyes were closed, and he held a five-colored Lingzhi in his hand.

At this moment, the Lingzhi's entire body glowed with a clear light. It was as vast as a long river, sweeping across the world.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

This clear light was like the diluted moonlight and a feather in the wind. It was soft and light and had no sense of existence. Wherever it went, it was as if one was looking at the patterns on one's palm. It was so detailed that even Dao integration stage cultivators would find it difficult to detect it.

After a while, the entire area was confirmed. The old man slowly opened his eyes and said in a kind voice, " &Quot; no high-level cultivators of the heavy iron sect followed us. &Quot;

The Zhong gang sect didn't have any guardians with them?

The surrounding ministers were all shocked. In the beginning, when they heard that the Holy Son of the Zhong gang sect dared to challenge the Emperor, they only thought that he was very arrogant and thought that he was unscrupulous because he had the protection of the elders in the sect.

However, he didn't expect that the other party would actually send a battle invitation to Emperor Liu Fu alone! He came to the glaze avarice dynasty alone! He challenged the Emperor alone!

After a moment of silence, Gao Huijing suddenly said, &Quot; he came to challenge His Majesty alone without the protection of a Grand Elder or any other senior. Although this junior is a descendant of a demon sect, it's rare to see such courage! &Quot;

Many of his colleagues listened, and although they didn't speak, their expressions were all in agreement.

At this moment, the purple-robed elder said, " &Quot; the cultivation of the Zhongyuan sect's Holy Son is improving extremely fast. &Quot;

"In the last Great War between the righteous and demonic path, he was only at the soul formation stage."

"But now, he's already at the Return To Void final stage!"

"The soul formation stage is extremely profound."

"With his Return To Void stage cultivation, he's probably unrivaled among cultivators of the same level."

"I think this is why he dared to challenge His Majesty."

The ministers listened and nodded.

The divine transformation realm was already a legend!

In less than a year, his cultivation base had broken through from the divine transformation realm to the Return To Void pinnacle stage. Such a speed was unheard of. The Zhong Kong sect's Holy Son most likely had some kind of great opportunity!

Thinking of this, Gao Huijing sighed slightly in his heart, but he felt it was a great pity. Such a shockingly talented junior had grown up in the devil's doctrine's territory and could not be used by the Imperial court to benefit the Li Shu.

However, he quickly calmed down and said, " "This PEI Ling is still too young and impetuous! They didn't know that the difference between the Return To Void stage and the Dao integration stage was like the difference between heaven and earth."

"Only by entering the Dao integration stage will one be able to truly control the laws."

"No matter how strong a Return To Void stage cultivator is, they can't be compared to a Dao integration stage super mighty figure."

"Besides, His Majesty is no ordinary daomerge expert!"

"If PEI Ling were to be patient and cultivate for a few more decades or even a hundred years, when his cultivation level reaches the Dao integration stage and he inherits the position of the sect master of the heavy ocean sect, he would really have the qualifications to challenge Your Majesty."

"However, His Majesty's cultivation base will definitely be above the mid-stage Dao integration realm by then ..."

The purple-robed old man nodded slightly and then said, " &Quot; there are no guardians from the Zhong gang sect here this time, and the strongest of PEI Ling's subordinates is only at the Return To Void stage. &Quot;

"You can receive him here. I'm going back to the avaricious capital to report to His Majesty."

Gao Huijing and the others immediately cupped their hands in greeting."This official will respectfully send the consecrator off!"

The purple-robed elder took a step forward. His body and the Lingzhi turned into a blurry light and scattered into the heavens and earth, disappearing in an instant.

Avenging capital.

The Imperial City.

In the Imperial study.

The dark house was as wide as the abyss, and pearls hung high in the sky, shining as bright as day.

The magnificently dressed Palace servants had their hair tied up in a high bun, their hands hidden in their sleeves, and their chests held flat. They looked down at their noses and their hearts, and stood respectfully on both sides.

The Emperor had changed into casual clothes, and his black hair was tied up in a crown. Behind his desk, he held a red brush in his hand and was listening to a respectful report from an eunuch, " "The emissaries from nine luminaries mountain, su zhentian, the Arctic Dragon Sword sect, and Yan richeng have all arrived in the capital."

"They are currently resting in the pavilion."

"The emissary from the Arctic Dragon Sword sect is Grand Elder Fu daogan."

"Elder Fu would like to meet His Majesty to discuss the whereabouts of his disciple ning Wuye and the Crown Prince."

The emperor's expression did not change. When he heard this, he calmly said, " "Please invite elder Fu into the palace later."

"As for the other messengers, please treat them well. Don't neglect your fellow Daoists and lose the etiquette of our dynasty."

"I will obey Your Majesty's orders," the eunuch replied immediately.

Seeing that the Emperor had no other instructions, he carefully took his leave.

Immediately after, a purple-robed old man came in from outside. After he entered and bowed, he reported, " "Your Majesty, the investigation has been completed."

"PEI Ling did not have any Dao protectors hiding around him when he came to challenge us."

&Quot; although he has many followers, there are only a dozen of them. They are not cultivators of the Zhong Kong sect. From their behavior, they seem more like PEI Ling's pet. &Quot;

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, but the Empress quickly returned to normal. She immediately nodded and said in a calm tone, " "This generation's Holy Son of the heavy iron sect is indeed amazing in terms of cultivation talent. From the looks of it now, the reason why this kid was able to rise so quickly from a nobody was not only because of his talent, but also because of his courage."

"We've always valued talents."

"When the time comes, as long as this person is willing to surrender, I will show mercy on account of his courage."
