So

But little did they know, these three treasures did not belong to Tongtian. Wang Yuan had absolute control over them. Whether they were on Kunlun Mountain or in the Chaos, if he wanted to take them, he naturally could.

As for Tongtian, he left with another Innate Spiritual Vein, a Thirty-Sixth Grade Green Lotus, and a pair of supreme Innate Supreme Treasures. These were a pair of hammer-shaped weapons, but even more powerful, combining offense and defense.

This time, he concealed the secrets of heaven and secretly returned to Golden Turtle Island, as Tongtian couldn't handle fighting four opponents alone.

"Master!"

The people on Golden Turtle Island quickly bowed down upon seeing Tongtian's return.

"You all cultivate diligently."

Tongtian didn't say much, planted the Innate Spiritual Vein on Golden Turtle Island, and then left straight for Zhao Ge.

He absolutely had to handle the matter his uncle had instructed!

Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen were in the harem when they suddenly felt a shock in their hearts. The two quickly transformed into streams of light and disappeared.

"Greetings, Master!"

"You may dispense with the formalities. I have something to ask of you. Find a way to bring Zhou Wang out for a trip recently. I... my uncle... wants to see him." Tongtian was becoming more and more relaxed when speaking in front of his juniors.

"We respectfully obey the Master's decree."

How could Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen dare to refuse?

Moreover, Tongtian was a figure of faith in their hearts. If Master Tongtian told them that coal was black, they would believe it.

Tongtian was very confident in their safety. Unless a Quasi-Sage level expert took action, it would be impossible for ordinary people to harm them. His uncle had given them the Twelfth Grade Green Lotus for protection.

After Tongtian left, Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen returned to the harem, pondering how to tell Zhou Wang about this matter.

In Mount Zhongnan, there was a Qi Refiner named Yun Zhongzi. One day, he had a sudden impulse and rushed to Zhao Ge, only to discover two streams of demonic Qi soaring into the sky within the imperial palace.

"Hmm? Demonic Qi?!"

Although the demonic Qi clearly originated from the orthodox Xuan Sect, Yun Zhongzi was very stubborn, firmly believing that demons were inherently evil. With this thought, he took pine wood from the mountain and used his magic power to create a sword.

He immediately rushed to the Noon Gate, directly requesting to see the Human Emperor.

The gatekeeper saw that Yun Zhongzi had an extraordinary temperament and was likely not an ordinary person, so he did not dare to neglect him and quickly reported to Zhou Wang.

At this time, Zhou Wang was attending court when he heard that a Daoist priest wanted to see him. Zhou Wang was immediately displeased, "What Daoist priest is this??"

"This humble servant does not know, but I saw that the man was as ethereal as an immortal and certainly not an ordinary person."

Zhou Wang had always disliked matters of immortals and gods in his heart. If they were immortals and gods, then they should act like immortals and gods. Why interfere in human affairs?

This was also the reason why Zhou Wang was extremely disgusted with sacrificial rituals, which were not only a waste of money and manpower but also involved slaughtering slaves, disregarding human ethics.

"I will not see him."

Just as the gatekeeper was about to reply, Prime Minister Shang Rong suddenly said, "Wait! Your Majesty, if the visitor is a true immortal who has attained the Dao, wouldn't it be bad to neglect him?"

Many people immediately said, "That's right, Your Majesty. Our human race relies on immortals for wind and rain. We must not neglect them."

Zhou Wang was annoyed in his heart, but the ministers below all said so. He nodded and said, "Alright, bring the Daoist priest to my study!"

The crowd dared not say anything more. Although they also wanted to see the immortals, they had advised Zhou Wang earlier because they wanted to catch a glimpse.

But Zhou Wang didn't give them the chance at all.

"Dismissed."

Zhou Wang left the court with a composed face. The ministers below retreated, but they were also displeased in their hearts, feeling that Zhou Wang's actions were too much.

Arriving at the study, Zhou Wang picked up a book and casually looked at it, while his mind started to turn. The enfeoffed vassal forces were too large, each with their own selfish motives, and the imperial power was facing a great challenge. In particular, some of the vassals seemed to have their minds running wild. There were strong enemies outside, the Eastern Barbarians and Hundred Yue, and inside, the vassals were eyeing him covetously.

In addition, the sacrificial department also had concerns about seizing imperial power.

Every day, Zhou Wang was thinking about how to solve these problems. While he was pondering, footsteps came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought."

"Let him in."

Two people walked in from outside, a gatekeeper and a white-robed Taoist, ethereal like an immortal, with an otherworldly temperament.

"Poor Taoist Yun Zhongzi is a Qi refiner from the Zhongnan Mountain, greetings, Your Majesty." He only bowed slightly, which made Zhou Wang feel displeased.

"Within the borders of the land, is there any place that is not the king's land? Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Yun Zhongzi smiled, "Poor Taoist was born in the clouds and lives in the wind and dew. Has Your Majesty ever ruled over the wind and water?"

What an eloquent Taoist.

"So, Daoist Priest lives in the wind and dew. The dust in the wind is so small, and the dew falls on the grass and trees, all of which are small and plentiful. But I see that Daoist Priest is tall and big, how can you live in such a small place?"

Yun Zhongzi was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Wang to ask so many questions, but how should he answer? Tell him that he can become bigger and smaller?

At that time, Zhou Wang will definitely want to see it. Cultivators avoid the three lights and cannot show their magic power to mortals.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhongzi smiled, "Poor Taoist scatters in the wind and shatters in the dew."

Zhou Wang nodded, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect Daoist Priest to be scum."

"Scum?"

"Isn't it scum after scattering and shattering? Thank you for your hard work, Daoist Priest, for having to be scum." Zhou Wang said expressionlessly.

Yun Zhongzi frowned, not really understanding Zhou Wang's words.

"Alright, Taoist, what is the matter you want to see me for?"

"Your Majesty, this poor Taoist lives in the Jade Pillar Cave of Zhongnan Mountain. Because this poor Taoist had nothing to do, I gathered herbs on the high peak. Suddenly, I saw demonic energy running through the imperial palace and strange energy growing in the forbidden palace. My Dao heart is not lacking, and good thoughts always follow. This poor Taoist has come to pay homage to Your Majesty specifically to eliminate this demon."

Zhou Wang snorted coldly, "Nonsense, spreading rumors! You Taoist are so rude, how can there be demons in the harem?"

"Your Majesty, demons cannot be seen by mortal eyes. I have an item that can help Your Majesty subdue the demons. This item is called Ju Que - hang it on the Dividing Palace Tower, and it will surely subdue the demons within three days."

After saying that, Yun Zhongzi presented the Ju Que sword made of pine wood.

Zhou Wang took it in his hand and found that it was just a pine wood sword, and only the size of a palm.

"Then... I'll give it a try."

In fact, Zhou Wang was also suspicious. After all, as the Human Emperor, he was also afraid of being harmed by demons.

Yun Zhongzi smiled, "Since that's the case, this poor Daoist shall take his leave."

Without another word, he drifted away.

Zhou Wang took the Ju Que sword and hung it on the Dividing Palace Tower.

Not long after it was hung, Zhu Wushuang frowned, "Senior Sister."

Xiang Wuchen came out from behind, "I wonder what that is? It looks like something from within the Jade Clarity Sect."

At this moment, the Ju Que sword was gleaming with golden light, and strands of sword intent enveloped the entire Dividing Palace Tower.

It must be said that Yun Zhongzi's cultivation is indeed not low, having reached the Golden Immortal level. Originally, in the Investiture of the Gods World, the nine-tailed fox only had a thousand years of cultivation, so Yun Zhongzi's Ju Que sword could naturally subdue Da Ji with ease.

But that's not the case now. Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen have already attained immortality. A pine wood sword made casually wouldn't be able to harm them.

It's just infuriating.

"Good, Chan Sect!!"

"So utterly deceiving!"

Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen's expressions turned cold. Yun Zhongzi's actions were no different from provoking them.

"Hmph, does he really think a broken wooden sword can harm us sisters?" Xiang Wuchen's heart stirred, and a green lotus suddenly floated beneath her feet.

Her whole body was also enveloped in a green light.

Reaching out, she took down the Ju Que. The Ju Que sword trembled slightly, but after all, it was just ordinary wood and didn't carry much of Yun Zhongzi's magic power. Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen joined forces and directly broke the magic power on it.
