With great solemnity, Yan Deng bowed deeply: "These are all bestowed by the friend, Zhu Long, and the help of the dragon race today, which I, a poor wayfarer, shall never forget."
After saying this, he sighed regretfully: "Your Majesty has extraordinary talent and wisdom, capable of recognizing and employing people well, with accomplishments surpassing even Tianjun. In terms of virtue, it matches that of the Three Emperors. Since entering the heavenly court, I have been treated with three small banquets in a day and five big banquets in a day. Your Majesty's kindness to me is as heavy as mountains. However, my nature as a carefree wandering crane cannot bear the burden of official duties. Today's situation is unavoidable, and I can only let down Your Majesty's generous intention."
The words were too insincere, almost to the point of mockery. Zhu Long listened with a snort.
After saying the customary words, Yan Deng expressed a look of deep regret, "Alas, it's a real pity for the three Sa Dao friends. Such a waste, such a waste!"
Zhu Long shrugged casually: "They are all offspring of the hidden dragon, and the hidden dragon himself is a cowardly, afraid of death. He dared not use his own talents and abilities to launch a surprise attack on Yuanfeng, causing our tribe to have to face Yuanfeng head-on. In the end, it was even worse for my big brother's reputation. Today is just a little atonement for him. Dao friends, please do not take offense."
Zhu Long glanced outside the hall, obviously using his own divine power. He frowned slightly with some pain: "Hao Tian will emerge from his seclusion in fifteen breaths. That guy has no tolerance, but his cultivation is not low. This half-casual body of mine is no match for him. Dao friend and I should part ways here."
Yan Deng spoke particularly politely, with utmost respect: "Since that is the case, friend, please take care of yourself. There will certainly be a day when we meet again."
Once he breaks free from the constraints of Tianjing and the Shengpianban, as the former prestigious 3000 guests of Zihao Palace, he has ample backup to handle the relentless pursuit by Tianjing.
Even on that day, if it weren't for Yun Xiao's extremely tight Jiucu Huanghe formation, he wouldn't have fallen. With so many backup plans, he could always find a few moves to feign death and save his life.
Now that he has been detained on the Shengpianban for several decades, it's not too late.
Zhu Long's figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.
Yan Deng was also preparing to leave, but Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao grabbed his robe with all their might, "Teacher, have mercy! Today's situation is truly... May I ask Teacher, what should my brother and I do?"
Yan Deng looked at the two "fans" without even a glance, treating them like air. With a slight flick of his sleeve, he managed to shake them off and took a step forward, finally arriving at the outer door of the Lingshao Palace.
Wang Mo and Yang Sen have also broken free from the constraints of the Shengpianban, and are now saying goodbye to Gao Youqian and Li Xingba.
As disciples of Jiejiao, they actually want to approach Guiling Shengshengmu, but Guiling does not accept them. Not only do they lack the means to escape their own constraints, but they also have a bear-like temperament, making them difficult to please.
When Wang Mo and others were helpless, Yan Deng timely extended an olive branch, the deputy leader of the Hanjiao? What does that matter? Since both sides share the same goal, they naturally joined forces.
At this moment, the four close friends hugged each other and wept with sorrow. After countless years of cultivation, today's farewell is almost like an eternal separation.
Whether Hao Tian will resent Gao Youqian and Li Xingba is hard to say. There is a certain chance that he will be resentful.
Whether Wang Mo and Yang Sen can escape from the pursuit of Tianjing is uncertain. There is a certain chance they will be caught.
Wang Mo's face was drenched in tears. Seeing his friends' expressions of reluctance, he approached Yan Dong and bowed deeply: "Teacher, we truly cannot bear the parting. You have already escaped from the constraints, so please leave quickly."
Yan Deng has a different attitude towards the worthless Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, as well as towards the valuable nine-dragon island four friends.
He looked benevolently and said: "Little friend, why have you reached this point? The treasure is right in your hand. Why don't you let your brothers break free from the constraints, but instead mourn here?"
Wang Mo hesitated for a moment, then quickly looked at the Luobao Jinbi in his hand. He raised his head to look at Yan Dong, who nodded with a smile. Yes, just as you thought.
Wang Mo was overjoyed, slapping the Luobao Jinbi onto Gao Youqian's body. In the next moment, this supreme primordial treasure struck a deal with the Shengpianban, "buying" Gao Youqian's true spirit at the cost of Wang Mo's own fortune, talent, foundation and luck all plummeting.
Instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed and used the same method to "buy" the true spirit of Li Xingba as well.
All four friends have been released from the Shengpianban.
In the future, we will live together or die together.
Wang Mo returned the Luobao Jinbi to Yan Dong with great respect: "Thank you, Teacher, for your assistance. My brothers and I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
Time was urgent, Yan Deng skipped many ceremonial words and asked with great concern: "Do your brothers have a place to stay? In the Huangva, besides Lingjushan, I also have three secluded palaces: Jiuyunshan, Tiejie Mountain, and Hongyue Mountain. They are not known to outsiders. It would be better if"
Yang Sen shook his head confidently: "Teacher, please be at ease. We Jie sect disciples are all men who value righteousness over life. Once my brothers leave the heavenly court, they will seek refuge with fellow sect members. How can Hao Tian do anything to us? This journey will definitely be without a hitch."
Yan Deng didn't mention that he was killed by the "men who value righteousness over life" Jie sect disciples. At this moment, he rubbed his beard and nodded in agreement: "Very well, I and the four little friends will part here. When we meet again in the mountains and waters, let's raise a glass together."
"Farewell, Teacher!"
Yan Dong departed from the Thirty-three Heavens in a manner that appeared calm and relaxed on the surface but was actually a swift sprint.
He crushed a delicate and intricately designed talisman that looked extremely ancient, with no mention of Jiuyun Mountain, Tiejie Mountain, or Hongyue Mountain. Instead, he directly fled towards chaos.
As a quasi-Saint in the past, he had also traveled through Chaos. Previously, he had made some arrangements in Chaos, and now they could be put to use.
The Thirty-three Heavens were thrown into complete chaos.
Zhu Bajlr was quite stunned by the tactics used by the three brothers of the Sa family. How could such a method deceive his own consciousness?
It dared not leave the Shengpianban, so it only roared loudly. The guards of the Shengpianban woke up from the radiant glow of Luobao Jinbi, seeing several names on the Shengpianban being tarnished, and seeing the mangled limbs and arms of the three brothers of the Sa family. The heavenly general hurriedly struck a bell to alert everyone.
The group of heavenly generals who came to the heavenly court through the Shengpianban are actually quite good in quality. Many of them are elite troops from the Great Shang. If you let them build houses, that would be a waste; their expertise is not in line with that profession. However, when it comes to guarding, patrolling, and fighting, they are all professionals.
The tolling of the bells never stops, and even the Yaochi direction can hear the bells coming from the Lingshao Palace.
Long Ji subconsciously drew out the Yaochi Bailight Sword and wanted to help, but Queen Mother pulled her hand: "My child, don't rush into things. We should stay still and observe until we understand the situation."
Long Ji, having been influenced by the phoenix, was no longer the naive and sweet girl she used to be. She knew that the relationship between her parents was not as close as it appeared on the surface. The phoenix had given her advice to be amicable with Queen Mother and to maintain basic respect for Hao Tian. She thought it made sense and had been doing so for these years.
Now that she is being pulled by Queen Mother, if Long Ji were the same as she used to be, she would probably still ask a few questions like "What about my dad? Is he in danger?" But now, she doesn't ask anything. It seems like she has already accepted that her father has passed away.
