Jing Shui covered Yuqing’s mouth, then whispered sternly, “When you exit this door, you should forget all of these words. Otherwise, even I won’t be able to save you.”

“But…”

“No buts!” Jing Shui glared at her. “You’ve got your life back now. From today on, you’ll remain in this palace and cultivate. As for Yan Tianhen, you’d better forget him as soon as possible. Once the evil spirits extermination meeting is over, he will no longer be the son of King Ye sought after by everyone, and my child will eventually become the supreme emperor of the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital!”

Princess Yuqing looked at Jing Shui’s crazy face and couldn’t help feeling a little scared. When did her sister actually change into someone like this?

However, Princess Yuqing was full of panic and fear. She could only nod heavily and reply, “I will.”

………

King Ye’s Palace.

When Yan Zhonghua came back, You Ming put down the scroll in his hand and went up to him. “How’s it going?”

Yan Zhonghua frowned slightly. “After the investigation, I found that Yan Zizhang didn’t lie. The Black and White Crow Guards are indeed taking orders from the Imperial Concubine now.”

You Ming was stunned. “What about the spies you placed into it?”

Yan Zhonghua said, “They’re still there, but it’s too risky for them to show themselves for the time being. Zizhang sent me a message that he always feels that the Emperor is too obedient to the Imperial Concubine, as if he was bewitched.”

You Ming didn’t think much of it. “That Father Emperor of yours has always been very lecherous. The Yan family has had many emperors, but he’s the only one who has five to eight wives.”

Yan Zhonghua: “…”

Lin Xuanzhi walked over while holding Yan Tianhen’s hand.

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “The Imperial Concubine must have her own plans, but I don’t know what moves she’ll make. I think it’s really necessary to leave someone behind in the Royal Heavenly Capital to watch her closely at all times.”

Yan Zhonghua nodded. “I have the same intention. Yan Zizhang’s cultivation strength is not good enough. I’d better stay here with You Ming. I’m afraid that Yan Zizhang’s old subordinates inside the Black and White Crow Guards have been completely purged when the Imperial Concubine took over control.”

Not only did Lord Chuibi disappear, but even Lord Yuehua also disappeared without a trace. They seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Yan Zhonghua couldn’t help feeling worried. He had a kind of ominous premonition.

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “That’s good. You might as well leave the meeting at Myriad Dao Academy to me and Ah Hen.”

Yan Zhonghua said, “Yan Zizhang will also go with you, but don’t worry about him. I’ve had a long talk with him, and he should be able to distinguish his priorities.”

Yan Tianhen said, “I hope this conference can be concluded smoothly.”

The purpose of this meeting wasn’t necessarily to discuss the specific methods of exterminating evil spirits and evil Qi cultivators. Instead, there were three main goals. One was to announce the current situation of the Nine Lands to the public, so that everyone could have a good idea of the situation.

Yan Zhonghua didn’t necessarily have to go there in person. After all, the East Land’s Xuan Wushe and the North Land’s Dragon Emperor, plus Fuyao Sect’s Esteemed Lan Yue, would have enough power to persuade everyone by themselves.

Without further ado, Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi were about to go to Myriad Dao Academy.

Before they left, You Ming even said jokingly, “I thought Yuqing would come and pester you. It seems that your charm is not very good.”

Yan Tianhen smiled bitterly. “Dad, don’t make fun of me. Luckily, she didn’t come to pester me, or else my Dage will throw me away.”

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at him. “I’m not that cruel.”

Yan Tianhen complained, “Aren’t you jealous?”

Lin Xuanzhi said faintly, “There’s nothing between you and her. What am I jealous of?”

Yan Tianhen: “…”

Although it makes sense, what should I do if I feel a little angry?

Yan Tianhen snorted coldly and took the lead in flying with his sword and flew to the northeast. Lin Xuanzhi followed.

……….

A few days later, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen arrived at Myriad Dao Academy.

As usual, even though the outside world was surging, an immortal sect like Myriad Dao Academy would never be in a mess. Today’s Myriad Dao Academy, like the Hidden Spirit Sect in the past, was the last shield of the Nine Lands, as well as its sharpest spear.

As soon as they arrived, Tianshu Sword Saint came to meet them personally.

He looked at Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen. “I haven’t seen you guys for a few days, but your cultivation seems to be more refined.”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “Not a single day can be wasted when cultivating, but your cultivation, on the other hand, hasn’t improved.”

Tianshu Sword Saint touched his face and sighed. “I am old, I can’t cultivate anymore.”

Yan Tianhen: “Why does everyone like to say they’re old? Don’t tell me that men nowadays become more popular as they get older?”

Tianshu Sword Saint: “…”

Tianshu secretly cursed in his heart, Yan Tianhen’s tongue is still as sharp as usual.

He quickly changed the topic: “The representatives of Fuyao Sect arrived yesterday, and the representatives of several aristocratic families arrived one after another in the past few days. Esteemed Lan Yue came in person and asked you to meet him when you arrived.”

Yan Tianhen was very happy. His eyes brightened and said, “Since Master is here, we naturally want to meet him!”

They went to the place where Esteemed Lan Yue was staying.

Seeing Yan Tianhen and the other two, Esteemed Lan Yue smiled and got up from the futon. “I guessed you two will arrive today. It seems that I was right.”

Yan Tianhen smiled and said, “Greetings to Master”, before continuing to say: “Master has great foresight; everything can be predicted.”

Esteemed Lan Yue replied, “That’s not necessarily true. For example, I couldn’t predict that Ah Tong and Shitian actually went to the Wan family together.”

Yan Tianhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, “Why did they go to the Wan family?”

Bei Shitian hated the Wan Family to the bone. Every day, he probably dreamed of completely eradicating the Wan family and avenging his people.

Esteemed Lan Yue answered, “I divined that the Wan family had a sacred item that can be used to destroy evil spirits, and Ah Tong wanted to go home and steal it.”

Yan Tianhen: “…”

Lin Xuanzhi: “…”

Since they were going there to do bad things, Bei Shitian was probably better at it.

Yan Tianhen affixed himself to Esteemed Lan Yue’s side. “Master, the killing of evil spirits this time is of great importance. Have you divined any more secrets?”

Esteemed Lan Yue looked at Yan Tianhen and shook his head. “I haven’t divined too much except for the fact that the turning point is at Myriad Dao Academy, but the Evil Star has appeared from the clouds, and its radiance is getting brighter and more powerful. I am afraid that it will not take long before that star reaches its peak.”

Yan Tianhen frowned. “Master, can you figure out the origin of that Evil Star?”

Esteemed Lan Yue paused slightly, then said slowly, “I always feel that this star’s orbit is not new, but it’s like an Evil Star that has lived for a long time. It’s just that we’ve never found traces of it before.”

Yan Tianhen thought about it, but he still couldn’t guess who this star was referring to.

During the war in the ancient era, the evil Qi cultivators he had sealed were less than ten, and he was certain that he had gathered all the energy in these evil Qi cultivators into his body. These people who eventually started cultivating evil Qi had already been deprived of all their cultivation before being thrown into the black abyss. They would inevitably be torn to pieces quickly without any possibility of rebirth.

The revival of Cangdi Fenglang was already enough to make Yan Tianhen feel uneasy, but what bothered him now was Tu Feng, whose identity they couldn’t even begin to guess.

The saying went: know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win every battle. Tu Feng’s understanding of them was much better than their understanding of Tu Feng. It was hard to say what the future would hold.

Yan Tianhen had already told Esteemed Lan Yue about Tu Feng before, but even Esteemed Lan Yue couldn’t guess Tu Feng’s identity, which proved that Tu Feng was really powerful.

“The matter regarding Tu Feng needs to be handled slowly.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Where are Zhan Shixiong and Hai Shixiong?”

Esteemed Lan Yue said faintly, “Little Lang and Fengting had a big quarrel and disappeared. Fengting went out to look for him and hasn’t returned yet, but he promised me he would come to the meeting on time.”

Yan Tianhen: “…”

He couldn’t help but silently light a candle for Zhan Fengting.

Esteemed Lan Yue said, “Before I came here, I made a divination for Myriad Dao Academy’s evil spirit conference. The divination signs are not good. I’m afraid something big will happen at the conference.”

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen looked at each other. “Can you figure out what it is?”

Esteemed Lan Yue shook his head. “I could only divine that it concerned the Nine Lands, but I’m only one person. If the entire prophet family is willing to divine together with me, we can get more answers.”

The relationship between Esteemed Lan Yue and the prophet family was not very good. Although today’s prophet family mainly wanted to pull Esteemed Lan Yue back into the prophet family, this kind of divination that used the power of the whole family was still time-consuming and labor-consuming, which was opposed by several prophet family elders.

“However, there is no need to worry too much.” Esteemed Lan Yue said: “After all, divination is not perfect. Even if it is predicted in advance, it might still happen, no matter what we do. We can only be vigilant and deal with it in time.”

Yan Tianhen nodded. “Dage and I will go all out.”

On the eighth day of the ninth month of the lunar new year, the gate of Myriad Dao Academy opened. After ten thousand years, Ethereal City opened its gates for the first time and welcomed the representatives of the nine leading Divine Clans and aristocratic families.

All kinds of dazzling magic weapons and monsters came across the sea and galloped on the broad avenue of Ethereal City. Others flew through the air. The scene was spectacular.

Since they were going out, it was natural to put on a show so as not to be looked down upon by others. Being a human being, the most important thing was face

Inside Myriad Dao Academy, the disciples were all arranged to entertain guests from all parties. They were very busy. They could hear greetings such as “Taoist friend, long time no see, have you been well?” and “I miss you so much”.

Yan Tianhen was entertaining guests and was patted from behind. He turned his head and saw Wan Yitong.

“Shixiong!” Yan Tianhen said happily, “You returned so soon.”

Wan Yitong said with a smile, “Of course. We just went there to steal something. What’s so hard about that?”

Yan Tianhen asked with a smile, “Where’s Bei Shixiong?”

Wan Yitong said, “He went to find Master first, and I came to find you.”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes turned slightly and said in a low voice. “What exactly is that item?”

Wan Yitong looked around at the people coming and going, pretended to look around, and said quickly, “It’s a stringless zither.”

“How can you play a stringless zither?” Yan Tianhen asked.
