"Well said, a good speech today, come, have some tea."

Hu Jiu Mei and the other two demons poured tea and water from the side, but Zhou Wang didn't dare to look up. Ever since he had witnessed the 'immortal's methods,' he felt that Wang Yuan was an unparalleled immortal, the strongest immortal king and emperor among immortals!

If Wang Yuan knew what Zhou Wang was thinking, he would laugh out loud, you really have ideas.

"This tea is the Myriad World Origin Tea, the ancestor of all teas, with the effect of clearing the mind." Tongtian, thinking of what Do Bao had said, swept his gaze over Zhou Wang, his eyes slightly cold. A mass of demonic energy was entrenched in Zhou Wang's mind, and that demonic energy was extremely evil. It didn't count as a demon; it should be resentment condensed after a great demon's death.

Great demon?

It must be one of those who were by Di Jun's side during the Witch-Demon War. Tongtian had already guessed who was behind it. It must be the two from the West, stirring up conflicts in the East so that the West could take the opportunity to seize and plunder.

Zhou Wang took the tea and sniffed it lightly. It was refreshing, and an unspeakable clarity bloomed in his mind.

"Good tea, good tea!"

Wang Yuan smiled slightly. Needless to say about Myriad World Origin Tea.

After Zhou Wang drank the tea, he felt a warm aura spread throughout his body.

"It really is... ah!"

He suddenly threw the teacup away, then clutched his head and cried out in pain, rolling on the ground.

"Huh? Jiu Mei, did you poison him?"

"I didn't... it wasn't me..."

"Pipa? Zhi Zhi? Did you do it? Killing the Human Emperor... your sins would be great..."

The faces of the two also changed in fright. They knew that the Human Emperor was entangled in karma. Who would be so foolish as to kill the Human Emperor for no reason?

"It wasn't us..."

Tongtian quickly said, "Uncle, Zhou Wang won't die. He wasn't poisoned either."

"Then what's he doing? Trying to scam someone? Quick! Great Nephew, throw him outside the mountain. He can't die here!"

Tongtian: ...

"Uncle, there is a mass of evil energy in his mind. The Myriad World Origin Tea plus the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Spring just happen to counteract the demonic energy and cleanse the demonic heart."

"Oh... as long as he doesn't die."

Zhou Wang: ... Can you guys be a little more considerate? Even if you don't save me, at least offer some words of comfort, right?

Strands of black gas emerged from the top of Zhou Wang's head, still trying to do something, but Tongtian secretly blew a breath and dispersed them directly.

Half an hour later, Zhou Wang's screams stopped.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a strong man who can replace pillars, still so full of energy after screaming for an hour."

Wang Yuan squatted on the ground, looking at Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang slowly stood up, "Immortal, why did you harm me?!"

"Harm you? When did I harm you? Didn't you hear my Great Nephew say that there's a demon in your head?"

Zhou Wang was stunned, "Huh?"

Tongtian's eyes flashed with a divine light, and he pointed at the top of Zhou Wang's head, immediately followed by a flash of white light.

The moment Wang Yuan landed, his saliva started flowing.

"It's been a long time since I've had mutton skewers..."

A goat, three meters long and two meters tall, stood in front of Wang Yuan. Apart from being a bit bigger than a regular goat, there was one other difference: it had wings growing from its ribs.

Wang Yuan was not what he used to be. He knew that the Primordial World could not be measured by later standards, but anything that looked the same probably tasted about the same.

But then the goat suddenly spoke, "Thank you Tong..."

Before it could finish, it suddenly stopped talking. After a long while, the goat looked at Wang Yuan, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving me! I am Bai Ze!"

Bai Ze?

Wang Yuan had read the Classic of Mountains and Seas thoroughly and knew of this figure, a famous person in his own right.

However, he remained calm, "Oh, so it's Fellow Daoist Bai Ze. How did you end up with the Human Emperor..."

Bai Ze sighed, "I still don't know what happened. I was living peacefully in the North Sea when one day, a great power abducted me. When I woke up, I was..."

Wang Yuan scratched his head. He couldn't very well eat something that could speak, could he?

"Alright then..."

Zhou Wang was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that there was such a thing in his mind. At the same time, he realized that there were too many dangers around him.

"Alright, Human Emperor, you should go. A day in the mountains is like a thousand years in the world. This is not a place for you to stay for long. Don't forget what you said to me, don't forget your original intention, don't forget the common people, and your Great Shang will surely last long."

Wang Yuan looked at the bewildered Zhou Wang and suddenly stood up and said.

Tongtian looked at his usually unserious uncle in surprise. If his uncle said so, then the Intercept Sect and the Great Shang's fortunes were linked. Could it be that the Intercept Sect was also like this?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right. He began to look at Zhou Wang with affection.

"Yes, I will respectfully follow the Immortal Elder's teachings."

"Go."

Zhou Wang went down the mountain. Wang Yuan sent him to the foot of the mountain, and then with a thought, by the time Zhou Wang reacted, the Immortal Mountain had disappeared, leaving only a bare, desolate mountain.

Zhou Wang bowed three times towards the mountain.

Da Ji and the other two also came over. Seeing Zhou Wang's surprised expression, Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen exchanged glances, guessing that Zhou Wang had met that senior.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhou Wang was a little excited and took their hands, "My beloved consorts, the immortal promised me that as long as I implement the New Policy, he will let my Great Shang last long."

He trusted Wang Yuan very much. That was an immortal! Since the immortal had promised, there would definitely be no problem.

Xiang Wuchen and Zhu Wushuang nodded, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Haha, good! Let's go! Back to the palace, let's have a good celebration!"

Immortal Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm also leaving, wouldn't want to disturb you any longer..."

Bai Ze had things on his mind. Although he knew that Wang Yuan's place was even better than the former Heavenly Court, this was not a place for him to stay after all.

"Alright, you can go. Great Nephew, you go send him off."

He pulled Tongtian aside and whispered, "Let him go back to protect Zhou Wang. I think these lamb skewers are quite powerful."

"Yes, Uncle, I understand!"

Tongtian's eyes lit up. Ah, yes, Uncle's idea is good. It can both prevent the West from knowing about this and use Bai Ze to protect Zhou Wang. Putting aside everything else, what kind of figure was Bai Ze? One of the ten great demons during the Witch-Demon War, with formidable combat power. Moreover, after years of self-cultivation, his cultivation had reached the Quasi-Sage realm.

The two of them left the Immortal Mountain, and Bai Ze couldn't help but ask, "Saint, that... is he really your uncle?"

In fact, it wasn't just humans who liked gossip; even great demons were the same.

Although Bai Ze had lived in the Northern Cold Lands for a long time and cultivated his character, it didn't mean he didn't gossip.

Tongtian glared at him. "What? Is there a problem?"

"No problem..."

How could he dare say there was a problem?

"Bai Ze, you were also a figure during the Witch-Demon War. Now that the demon race has declined, do you have any plans? Do you still hate the witch race?"

"Alas."

Bai Ze sighed, and after a long time, he said, "The two Demon Emperors have fallen, and less than one-tenth of the demon race remains. The witch race has also suffered the fall of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Over the years, I have come to understand that the Heavenly Dao is ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs."

Tongtian's heart stirred. He vaguely sensed that Bai Ze's magical power had reached its peak, Quasi-Sage Peak. In other words, he only needed an opportunity to comprehend the Dao and become a saint.
