Phantoms

Above Jiang Yun's head, a phantom image of a pair of eyes faintly appeared in the air.

The eyes slowly opened!

BOOM!

The moment Daoist Yunbao saw these eyes, it was as if he had seen the Great Dao!

An inexplicable, powerful pressure instantly pinned him down, rendering his entire body unable to move an inch.

This was only because what he cultivated was Daoist magic.

Beside him, the monk Chen Hu, the instant he was stared at by these eyes, his internal Magic Power instantly became chaotic.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell to the ground with a thud.

Meanwhile, Xu Suwen, who was on the rooftop, although not targeted by the oppressive aura of these eyes, the hand holding her sword began to tremble inexplicably.

"What kind of magic is this?" Xu Suwen was shocked.

At this moment, Jiang Yun's Magic Power was also instantly drained, and he almost fell to the ground.

He slowly turned his head to look, but unfortunately, only a pair of eyes had appeared.

The Magic Power within his body was still insufficient.

But it was enough.

Even though it was just a phantom image.

It was the phantom image of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North.

One of the Four Emperors.

As Jiang Yun's Magic Power was depleted, the pair of eyes behind him gradually disappeared.

This process actually took only a few breaths.

But those present were completely silenced.

Including Lu Wanyu, who looked at Jiang Yun with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Beside him, Xiao Jingyuan hurriedly looked at Lu Wanyu and said, "Lu Wanyu, quickly, take this brat down!"

Lu Wanyu heard this and whispered, "Heir Apparent, this Jiang Yun is definitely not someone we can easily deal with. In my opinion, a wise man knows when to retreat..."

Xiao Jingyuan's gaze swept across the entire street, the numerous guards from the Prince's Estate, and many constables.

"With so many people, I don't believe we can't take down one Jiang Yun."

"All of you, attack! Great rewards await!"

"Whoever takes Jiang Yun's head will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver!"

Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men.

The guards of the Prince's Estate, including the constables from the Prefectural Yamen, were all somewhat eager to try.

"Pfft." The monk Chen Hu, lying on the ground, spat out a large mouthful of blood.

This scared the guards and constables, causing them to retreat a couple of steps.

Seeing Chen Hu's miserable state, how such a master could be instantly defeated, they dared not step forward.

As for Lu Wanyu, just recalling those eyes from before made his soul tremble.

The more they, with their cultivation, were, the more they could feel the terror of those eyes.

With a thump.

Daoist Yunbao, at this moment, knelt on the ground and looked at Jiang Yun, asking, "Dao Venerable, were those eyes just now yours?"

"Little brother, fellow Daoist, no, Daoist Master, can you cast your magic so I can see the eyes of the Dao Venerable again?"

"I beg you, I will surely be able to comprehend the Great Dao from it."

Jiang Yun frowned, Dao Venerable?

Is that the title of the highest god of Daoism worshipped in this world?

Daoist Yunbao, at this moment, became somewhat delirious and chattered incessantly:

"I saw the eyes of the Dao Venerable, I personally saw the Dao Venerable."

"Hahaha, I, Daoist, am about to attain enlightenment!"

"Dao Venerable..."

"Please come out, disciple will look at you one more time, and from now on, I will dedicate myself to cultivating the Dao."

"Disciple was seduced by Abbess Chen Yun in the Capital City back then..."

"Disciple has worshipped you for many years, and finally, I see you."

Seeing Daoist Yunbao's state, Jiang Yun sighed in his heart. He had just made eye contact with the eyes of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North.

It had likely had a significant impact on his Dao heart.

And, if a normal monk saw the eyes of a true Buddha, they would also become this crazed.

One must know that Daoists, or monks, have worshipped deities since childhood, their hearts filled with reverence and awe.

Perhaps this feeling was like in a past life, when a fangirl saw her idol, her joy magnified ten thousand times.

Even more exaggerated than that.

Under the immense joy, the impact on his mental state was too great.

At this moment, he had already arrived before Jiang Yun and asked, "Daoist, were those eyes just now the Dao Venerable?"

Jiang Yun shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know who the Dao Venerable you speak of is."

"What appeared just now was the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North."

"Great Emperor Ziwei of the North?" Daoist Yunbao shook his head repeatedly, took a few steps back, and said in a deep voice, "Impossible, impossible."

"I have never heard this name."

"Those eyes just now must have been the Dao Venerable."

"You are lying to me!"

"Dao Venerable, Dao Venerable, I've come! Your disciple has come to find you."

Daoist Yunbao ran madly into the crowd, disappearing quickly.

Xiao Jingyuan's face darkened, seeing Daoist Yunbao had gone completely mad. "Fine, no one dares to make a move, huh? I will!"

With that, he drew the sword at his waist.

Jiang Yun's Magic Power had been drained, but he wasn't worried.

Xu Suwen was still on the roof of the nearby house.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Heir Apparent Xiao, this matter ends here."

Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice.

An old Daoist, dressed in a Daoist robe, with a long white beard and an air of immortality, stood on the eaves.

Xu Suwen's expression changed slightly. She had been standing on the roof but hadn't sensed when this old Daoist arrived.

"May I ask who you are, Daoist?"

Seeing his immortal demeanor and Daoist robe, Xiao Jingyuan dared not be negligent.

"Tianqing Temple, Xuan Daozi."

"Xuan Daozi?" Xiao Jingyuan frowned, searching his mind for the name.

Then, his eyes widened, and he looked at the other person abruptly. "The old immortal from Tianqing Temple?"

Xu Suwen also looked over in surprise. She knew that after her letter went to Tianqing Temple.

Tianqing Temple would definitely send someone to confirm Jiang Yun's identity.

But she hadn't expected the person to be Xuan Daozi.

Xu Suwen quickly bowed.

Xuan Daozi glanced at Xiao Jingyuan and slowly said, "The eunuch delivering the imperial edict will arrive soon. Heir Apparent Xiao should return to the Prince's Estate to wait."

"Old immortal, this person killed..."

Xuan Daozi's expression was calm, and he suddenly asked him, "Prince, was it Jiang Yun who killed him?"

This sentence continuously reached Xiao Jingyuan's ears.

It was as if there was an irresistible force.

Making it impossible for him to lie.

"He didn't kill him."

After saying this, Xiao Jingyuan began to exhale heavily, looking at Xuan Daozi with fear in his heart.

This old immortal had likely cast a spell, preventing him from lying.

If he were to ask about his father's true cause of death.

The old Daoist Xuan Daozi held his horsetail whisk and swept it slightly. "Return. The Daoist sect does not involve itself in any worldly affairs."

"Yes." Xiao Jingyuan felt a heavy sigh of relief in his heart.

He dared not linger any longer.

What if this old immortal forced him to speak the truth in front of everyone? He would be finished!

Xiao Jingyuan glared at Jiang Yun with some unwillingness.

It seemed this old immortal had come for Jiang Yun.

He took a deep breath, withdrew all the Prince's Estate guards, and quickly left the scene.

Jiang Yun's gaze also turned to the old Daoist. "Thank you for your help, Daoist."

Xuan Daozi seemed uninterested in other matters, only asking, "What was the deal with those eyes just now?"

Sorry, today's update is a bit late. It should be earlier tomorrow.
