Chapter 61: My Strength Relies on Imagination!
With a soft puff, blood splattered, spraying across Zhao Wutian’s face.
He didn’t immediately wipe the grime off his face, for his eyes had already been drawn to the marks on the ground.
The blood there had gathered into four characters, seemingly a provocation, yet also a warning.
“Never again!”
His breathing began to quicken, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over him.
The worst had indeed happened!
That guy, who looked like a youth, was truly a terrifying unparalleled powerhouse.
Not only had he easily crushed Mo Ya, but he had also sent him a warning, indicating that he had seen through everything, including his every move.
“Never again… never again… It seems that this person doesn’t yet intend to target me. I should take the initiative to soften my stance, to win his favor.”
“Zhao Wutian… we have to take revenge for Mo Ya!”
The spy gazed at the gruesome scene before him, speaking with anger and resentment; they at the Heavenly Dao Mansion had never suffered such a significant loss.
“Do I need your guidance in my actions?”
Zhao Wutian was furious, slapping the person’s crown of the skull, instantly shattering him, leaving his soul scattered in an instant.
He wasn’t sure if that person was still monitoring him; to be safe, he had to maintain an appearance of utmost respect at all times.
With a wave of his hand, the blood stains and two corpses were cleaned up; a fierce flame burned over everything, leaving nothing behind.
“I should proactively visit that esteemed individual and seek his advice on perfecting the Array of Lively Stillness.”
He muttered to himself; the array had been a constant worry for him. Although he had completed ninety percent of it, the remaining ten percent still troubled his mind.
To achieve great things, even if not every detail could be flawless, the possibility of failure must be minimized.
However, directly going to ask for guidance was simply too rude. There was a risk of being held accountable for old grievances; he must prepare a substantial gift.
He paced back and forth, racking his brains over what kind of gift to bring, but he simply couldn’t decide.
Elixirs, weapons, manuals, spiritual stones—all had been disqualified by him one by one.
True powerhouses disdain such items because they already possessed much more.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him; he thought of a brilliant gift that even the strongest would definitely be unable to refuse!
“Zhang Chuqiao, Yin-Yang Body, it is time for you to make a contribution to me!”
He licked his lips, showing immense excitement.
This treasure was originally something he planned to keep for himself after achieving his goals.
But compared to the success of important matters, a woman seemed trivial.
“Come… bring me…”
Just then, someone barged into the Imperial Tutor Mansion, making Zhao Wutian want to unleash his killing intent.
When he saw that it was someone from the palace, he finally calmed down.
“Your Majesty has decreed that the Jade Purity Sect’s airship will enter the Imperial Capital, and the Grand Preceptor is specially invited to go and receive the esteemed guests.”
“I understand. Tell the Emperor I will go immediately!”
Watching the messenger leave, Zhao Wutian’s expression darkened slightly.
“A bunch of unlucky things; why did they have to come at this moment? It’s truly nauseating!”
…
Outside the Imperial Capital, Zhou Tong dispersed his aura, turning back into an ordinary person.
However, the shock in everyone’s eyes would not fade, just like the cracks on the ground that bore witness to Zhou Tong’s strength.
Zhou Tong looked around, only seeing the awe in the crowd’s eyes.
“Guest Senior, you are mighty!”
The guard team quickly stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, expressing their submission.
“Weren’t you all supposed to be enjoying yourselves?”
“For us, being able to follow the Guest Senior is the greatest enjoyment!”
The Guard Leader said devoutly, making Zhou Tong even more certain that this guy had other skills.
With such eloquence, he was definitely not an ordinary brash man.
At that moment, a roaring rumble suddenly came from above; a flying ship streaked across the sky, heading straight for the city gate.
“Persistent as a ghost.”
Zhou Tong had spotted the Jade Purity Sect’s flag from afar, his face displaying calm indifference.
“Let’s go back to the palace.”
…
Inside the palace, in the welcoming hall.
Qian Miaoyu wore a nine-dragon robe; though she was a daughter, her imposing aura and dignity could not be concealed.
She gazed down at those beneath her, neither happy nor sad, as if she were a born sovereign, every movement emanating the aura of one who rules above all.
“Mo Liushu and her disciples from the Jade Purity Sect, pay respects to Your Majesty.”
Mo Liushu was courteous and neither servile nor overbearing.
Beside her stood three disciples: Tang Qi, Chen Ling’er, and Xia Hongxiu.
At a glance, these individuals were all exceptional, yet Mo Liushu was unaware that each of them harbored ulterior motives.
Chen Ling’er was the simplest; she was controlled by the Infatuation Insect, developing a cheap affection for Tang Qi.
Logically, she should have been utterly devoted to him by now, but for some reason, she had developed a resistance to the Infatuation Insect, leading to her moments of clarity and confusion.
Tang Qi’s issue was similar to Chen Ling’er’s; for the past few days, he had been haunted by a figure that constantly consumed his thoughts.
The appearance of this being was rather outstanding, unlike any ordinary person, as it appeared to be four-legged, with a wide body, long hair, and a big nose with tusks, grunting…
Indeed, it was a genuine wild boar!
He had come to feel that wild boars were much more beautiful than humans, and precisely for this reason, he had hesitated to pursue Chen Ling’er.
As for Xia Hongxiu, she had heavier ambitions; her mind was consumed with how to eliminate Mo Liushu to seize her fortune and establish her own path.
To achieve her goal, she had set off multiple calamity-inciting incenses, hoping to trigger Mo Liushu’s three calamities and four trials.
But the result was maddening; Mo Liushu not only escaped unscathed but also appeared more radiant than ever.
If she hadn’t seen through divination that Mo Liushu’s calamities were still surging, she might have thought Mo Liushu had already overcome all her tribulations.
“Please take your seats!”
Qian Miaoyu’s voice brought the scheming group back to reality; after sitting down, they began to appraise the Empress before them.
Tang Qi’s eyes widened; she was also a peerless beauty. If he could have her in his possession…
His desires began to grow, constantly urging the elder in his bracelet to prepare a new Infatuation Insect.
Xia Hongxiu, however, wore a grave expression, staring fixedly at Qian Miaoyu.
“Why do you stare at me so?”
Qian Miaoyu noticed the heated gaze and directly asked.
“Replying to Your Majesty, I just brazenly examined your features and found that you have a deadly aura between your brows, indicating a great calamity.”
“But recently, this calamity seems to have undergone a transformation, moving towards a trend of turning despair into hope, and indeed is a great auspicious sign. You must have encountered a rare benefactor, right?”
“Indeed, I have encountered a truly rare benefactor!” Qian Miaoyu’s lips curled up, a teasing smile forming.
“Oh? There are actually such extraordinary individuals in this world; may I ask if we have the honor to meet them?”
Mo Liushu seized the opportunity to follow up with the question.
“Of course! Look, aren’t they arriving now?”
Qian Miaoyu pointed behind them.
