Seeing this, Ziyun Zhenren and Liang Dekuai's faces were instantly covered with black lines.
So...
What was I expecting before...
I must have lost my mind to come find them...
The two of them tacitly turned around and walked towards the door.
"Sect Master Ziyun..." Liang Dekuai asked tentatively after reaching the courtyard, "What are your plans next?"
"Next..." Ziyun Zhenren tilted her head back, squinting at the clear blue sky.
At this moment, the dormant aura on her body completely disappeared!
In its place was a steadfast determination!
"I plan to go into seclusion!" Ziyun Zhenren cupped her hands towards Liang Dekuai. "Your Majesty, I bid you farewell for now!"
After speaking, Ziyun Zhenren flew away directly.
Although she was no match for a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, fortunately, Ye Fan had left her many cultivation techniques before he left.
She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would eventually reach a higher realm!
Ziyun Sect Headquarters.
Upon returning to the sect, Ziyun Zhenren entrusted all matters to the Grand Elder.
Then, she walked straight towards the back mountain.
Her steps were heavy yet firm!
My good disciple, please bear with it for now!
When I achieve success in my cultivation, I will avenge you!
Midnight.
Great Liang Imperial Palace.
All the military generals stood in the courtyard in front of the main hall, looking at Liang Dekuai at the entrance.
"The enemy this time is strong, and it will be a tough battle!" Liang Dekuai's expression was excited, much like a pyramid scheme leader. "Everyone, do you have confidence!"
"We must!"
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty into battle!"
"Expand our territory! Expand our territory!"
...
The generals waved their arms and responded with all their might.
Their overly excited expressions became even more distorted...
That's right!
Liang Dekuai intended to rally his troops and undertake a grand undertaking!
From a rational perspective, his actions were certainly wrong.
It would be meaningless, a mere act of sending people to their deaths!
Ziyun Zhenren's choice to endure hardship was the correct one.
But don't forget.
These guys had long lost their minds...
In their understanding, if you have a grievance, you exact revenge!
In fact, most of them had extended their desire for revenge to conquering territory!
There was no other way.
The Great Liang Kingdom had been too peaceful recently, and they were almost bored to death.
As for the disparity in strength, it was not even considered by them.
Or rather...
They had completely lost the concept of such things...
In short!
Just do it!
At the same time.
In the Pill Tower.
The alchemists and demonic beasts had long since dispersed.
Only the two old gentlemen were still sticking their bottoms out and trembling incessantly.
Tremble...
Tremble...
"Master, Ye Fan is our good friend."
"Yes."
"Are we doing the right thing like this?"
"Makes sense!"
"If our friend is harmed, how can we stand by and do nothing?"
"We must avenge him!"
With these words, the trembling bodies of the two old gentlemen finally stopped!
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
The two old gentlemen pulled their heads out and stood facing each other.
The fear and panic on their faces disappeared, replaced by determination!
Two mysterious and powerful auras erupted from their bodies!
"Let's go!"
"Let's go and avenge Ye Fan!"
And so.
The two old gentlemen left the Pill Tower with firm steps!
In front of the main hall.
Liang Dekuai was still giving his pre-battle speech.
From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw two figures leisurely strolling over.
"Senior figures?" Liang Dekuai was clearly a bit bewildered. "Are you...?"
"Our good friend has been harmed!"
"We are going to avenge Ye Fan!"
The two old gentlemen replied in low voices.
Liang Dekuai and the others stiffened abruptly!
Because as the two old gentlemen spoke, a mysterious aura emanated from them!
It wasn't simply a matter of strength.
It didn't even belong to the category of true qi.
It was more of a feeling from a spiritual level!
It was as if the two figures standing before them were not mere old gentlemen, but two towering peaks that reached into the heavens!
Just looking at them, they felt an immense pressure!
Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.
"What are you doing?" the Second Elder asked casually.
"We also plan to go and avenge Ye Fan," Liang Dekuai replied honestly, looking down.
"No need!" Master Xie Yan waved his hand. "Leave the matter of revenge to us."
Hearing this, everyone felt a pang of sadness.
Yes...
Because we are too weak, we don't even have the right to seek revenge...
"Don't overthink it," Master Xie Yan gently placed his hands on Liang Dekuai's shoulders. "We still need you to guard this place!"
Liang Dekuai was moved by this!
This was the trust of a powerful figure!
And the important responsibility he bore!
Unintentionally, the two looked at each other with deep emotion.
Two faces equally contorted.
Yet with different degrees of contortion...
Master Xie Yan's eyeballs, moved randomly and without order, like a monkey's.
Up and down.
Left and right.
Baba.
...
Liang Dekuai suddenly felt an even stronger sense of pressure...
He wanted to lower his head and not look, but he was afraid the elder would think he was being disrespectful.
Just looking directly at such a face made his heart feel increasingly uneasy...
As if sensing Liang Dekuai's unusual state, Master Xie Yan quickly put on a kind smile.
The Second Elder had once said that a smile was the best way to express goodwill.
If you smiled at others, they would feel at ease.
So his mouth, naturally, turned into a lying s-shape.
Perhaps unable to bear the pressure any longer, Liang Dekuai finally lowered his head.
"It's getting late, we'll be going now."
Master Xie Yan gently patted Liang Dekuai's shoulder and left hand in hand with the Second Elder.
There was no fluctuation of true qi emanating from them, yet the two of them flew up right before everyone's eyes!
The figures of the two grew farther and farther away...
Until they disappeared into the horizon.
"Hoo—!"
Including Liang Dekuai, everyone finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The feeling of being crushed by a mountain had completely disappeared.
"The two seniors are truly terrifying."
A general couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes," another person echoed. "Just being close to them made me feel like I could barely breathe!"
In the early morning.
The two old gentlemen continued their journey without rest.
"Second Elder, do you know how to get to the Yad Empire?"
Master Xie Yan asked abruptly.
"It seems..." The Second Elder pondered for a few seconds, then nodded heavily. "I don't know!"
"Oh no," Master Xie Yan expressed great concern. "Will we get lost like this?"
"Master is absolutely right," the Second Elder finally realized the seriousness of the problem. "The immediate priority is to figure out how to get there..."
After saying this, the Second Elder closed his eyes.
His expression was extremely serious, as if he were about to do something big!
His aura suddenly erupted, condensing into bursts of fierce winds!
If anyone else had seen this, their first reaction would undoubtedly be that a powerful figure was about to unleash a major move!
Five minutes later.
The Second Elder suddenly opened his eyes!
Two sharp rays of light flashed from his eyes, incredibly piercing!
"That way!"
The Second Elder pointed in a direction with his hand and said with great certainty!
"So amazing!" Master Xie Yan exclaimed, full of curiosity. "Second Elder, can you tell me how you determined the direction? Did you use some kind of divination method?"
"Those are child's play!" the Second Elder replied seriously. "I relied on my intuition!"
"I see!" Master Xie Yan was extremely shocked. "Then I can rest assured!"
The so-called synchronization of brain frequencies between spiritual power users and spiritual power users probably meant something like this.
Judging by Master Xie Yan's tone, it seemed that relying on intuition was a more profound method than divination...
So the two of them resolutely flew north.
Incidentally.
The Yad Empire was roughly to the south of the Great Liang Kingdom...
...
