Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The young man who was fleeing forward with serious injuries had delicate features and an expression of fear on his face.

"Senior was also sent by the First Son of God to kill me?"

The young man did not seem to know Daozi Yuyou, so when he was stopped by Daozi Yuyou, he immediately became alert.

But this is normal.

Although Daozi Yu You is Lin Bai's maid, she is actually the Daozi of the Jiuyou Demon Palace.

According to the genius hierarchy of the Jiuyou Demon Palace: Prince, Spiritual Son, Saint Son, Tao Son, God Son, and Emperor Son.

Among the six levels in total, the genius at the Daozi level is already considered the top existence in the Jiuyou Demon Palace.

Among the millions of disciples of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, there are only a small number of Daozi-level warriors. It is extremely difficult for ordinary warriors to see Daozi-level geniuses on a daily basis.

Although this young man's cultivation level is not low, he is only at the initial stage of Dao God realm, so it is understandable that he does not know Daozi Yu You.

"Are you being hunted by the warriors sent by the First Son of God?"

"Why?"

"Why did the First Son of God send warriors to kill you?"

After Daozi Yuyou heard about the First Son of God, he suddenly became interested and immediately asked a few more questions.

The seriously injured young man seemed to see that Daozi Yuyou was not the lackey of the First Son of God, so he immediately said:

"Since you are not sent by the First Son of God to kill me, please make way for me and don't delay my escape!"

After saying this, the young man turned around and tried to run away. How could Daozi Yu You let him leave so easily, so he stopped him immediately.

While the two were fighting, five or six warriors who were chasing the young man had already approached.

Not only are they numerous and powerful, but each of them has reached the peak level of the Dao God realm, and they are wearing robes of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Daozi Yuyou only took a glance, then frowned secretly and murmured in a low voice:

"The 'royal guard' among the Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace?"

The Imperial Guard is one of the Eighteen Guards of the Demon Palace.

The nature of their existence is similar to that of the Chu State's imperial guards, who are responsible for guarding the imperial capital and protecting important figures in the imperial capital.

The attributes of the Royal Guards are almost the same as those of the Imperial Army. Whether in the Jiuyou City underground or in Huanglong Qianzhou after the Jiuyou Demon Palace rebuilt the mountain gate, the Royal Guards are responsible for protecting the mountain gate.

Generally speaking, warriors hunted by the imperial guards are those who have violated the iron laws of the Demon Palace or are traitors to the Demon Palace.

"Are you a traitor to the Demon Palace?"

When Daozi Yu You saw the imperial guards chasing this man, her pretty face turned cold and she asked in a cold tone.

The seriously injured warrior gritted his teeth and said:

"You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something!"

"The Demon Palace has just rebuilt its mountain gate, but unfortunately, its glory cannot be maintained for long. Sooner or later, the Demon Palace will be destroyed in the hands of the First Son of God!"

Daozi Yuyou was confused after hearing this, and seemed to feel that things were not so simple!

The five or six imperial guards came close and saw that Daozi Yuyou had stopped the young man. They smiled and bowed, saying:

"Thank you, young lady, for stopping this man. It saved us a lot of trouble!"

These royal guards did not seem to recognize Daozi Yu You's identity and bowed to express their gratitude twice.

"The girl looks unfamiliar? Is she also a warrior from our Demon Palace?"

"I wonder which temple the girl is from? And which family is she from?"

"Is the girl married?"

"We are all free and have nothing to do, how about treating the girl to a couple of drinks? How about the girl dancing for us?"

"Hahaha."

When the five or six imperial guards saw that the young man had no way to escape, they relaxed their vigilance. Instead, they looked back and forth at Daozi Yu You.

Although Daozi Yuyou was not wearing any makeup, she was wrapped in a smart black dress, with a beautiful face and cool facial features, exuding a heroic spirit that was as good as any man, which made people even more moved.

Facing the provocations of these imperial guards, Daozi Yuyou frowned with some displeasure:

"Are you warriors from the Imperial Guard?"

The five or six warriors saw that they had started a conversation with Daozi Yuyou, and they immediately smiled and couldn't wait to introduce themselves:

"That's right."

One of the five or six guards took two steps forward with a smile:

"oops."

"It's a long story."

"Miss, why don't you find a secluded place with us so we can talk to you properly?"

Taoist Yu You glanced at them sideways, and a force of cultivation belonging to the Taiyi Daoguo realm burst out, pressing down on the five or six guards like a mountain and a sea.

After sensing the aura of power from a warrior at the Taiyi Daoguo realm, the guards turned pale with fear, and hurriedly trembled as they bowed and said:

"Hello, senior."

"Senior, calm down."

"We didn't know you were here, so we offended you with our words. Please forgive us!"

Daozi Yuyou asked in a cold voice:

"Answer my question."

"Why are you hunting him?"

The five or six imperial guards hurriedly reported what had happened:

"This warrior's name is 'Zhang Sheng', and he is a member of the Zhang family under the Demon Palace."

"Some time ago, we received a secret order and learned that the Zhang family had colluded with the Demon-Slaying Alliance and attempted to harm the Demon Palace."

"We will take action to destroy the Zhang family!"

"This Zhang Sheng is a direct descendant of the Zhang family. He escaped under the protection of several powerful members of the Zhang family. We are hunting him down!"

Hearing this, Daozi Yuyou hadn't replied yet, when he heard the warrior named "Zhang Sheng" shouting hurriedly:

"That's not the case."

"You are lying!"

"It was obviously because our Zhang family expressed their willingness to support Emperor Lin Bai at the Council of Elders that we were retaliated against by the First Son of God!"

Upon hearing this, the five or six imperial guards shouted angrily:

"Zhang Sheng, stop talking nonsense."

"Senior, you are a warrior at the Taiyi Daoguo realm, with a keen eye, how could you believe your lies!"

Zhang Sheng also knew that the origin of the woman in front of him who was at the Taiyi Daoguo realm was not simple, and he sneered and said:

"Zhang knew he was going to die today, and he didn't even think about living anymore."

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter."

"It's a pity that the Demon Palace has just rebuilt the mountain gate and has not yet regained its glory, but it is about to be destroyed in the hands of the First Son of God and your group of traitors."

The five or six imperial guards no longer hesitated and immediately said to Daozi Yuyou:

"Senior, we will take this lunatic back and hand him over to the Law Enforcement Hall for serious punishment!"

Daozi Yuyou heard them holding different opinions and said without any hesitation:

“No hurry.”

"You guys wait here. I'll report back to the emperor and then make plans!"

After she finished speaking, Daozi Yuyou walked backwards, but after taking two or three steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to the five or six guards to remind them:

"Before receiving the order from the prince, I advise the guards not to act rashly, otherwise, your lives will surely be in danger."

Emperor's son!

The five or six royal guards and Zhang Sheng were all shocked when they heard this, and they all looked in the direction where Daozi Yu You left.

In the thick clouds, a huge cloud boat was looming, and Taoist Yu You returned to the cloud boat.

Zhang Sheng's eyes were burning, and the hope that he had already given up was now burning again.

He hurriedly flew towards the cloud boat and shouted loudly:

"Emperor's son, Zhang Sheng requests to see you."

"Please, Prince, make the decision for our Zhang family!"

After hearing the voice of the 'Emperor's Son', the five or six imperial guards looked at each other and exchanged opinions in a hurry:

"Emperor's son?"

"Why did the emperor's son return to Huanglong Qianzhou?"

"Aren't he and Goddess Li Guxian on the front line?"

"What now?"

"If Zhang Sheng were to meet the Emperor's son, we would be doomed."

The five or six guards immediately became nervous and quickly discussed countermeasures:

“Let’s do it!”

"We must not let Zhang Sheng see Emperor Lin Bai."

"But killing someone in front of the emperor's son is no small matter."

"What are you afraid of?"

"We have the support of the First Son of God behind us. Are we still afraid of him?"

These people made a quick decision and when they saw Zhang Sheng flying towards Yunzhou, they immediately chased after him.

Several people quickly used their magical powers and attacked Zhang Sheng.

…

Daozi Yuyou quickly returned to the cloud boat and saw Lin Bai and Li Guxian still standing on the bow, looking ahead.

Elder Wen and a group of warriors at the Supreme Dao Fruit and Chaos Dao Fruit realms stood behind with calm expressions.

Daozi Yuyou returned to the cloud boat and told Lin Bai and Li Guxian what happened in a simple and clear manner.

"That's probably what happened."

"The warrior named Zhang Sheng claimed that they were secretly retaliating against us because they supported Senior Brother Di Zi at the Elders' Council, which displeased the First Son of God."

"And those imperial guards claimed that the Zhang family was secretly colluding with the Demon-Slaying Alliance to harm the Demon Palace."

“Both sides have their own opinions.”

After hearing the general outline of what happened, Lin Bai fell into deep thought.

He asked Li Guxian: "Zhang family? I don't think I've ever heard of this family?"

Li Guxian chuckled and explained:

"It's normal that Senior Brother Dizi hasn't heard of it. I haven't heard of it either."

"The Nine Nether Demon Palace has millions of disciples. After tens of thousands of years of magic formations, the Demon Palace has countless family forces under its command."

“But there are currently thirty-six large families in the Demon Palace, which are relatively famous.”

"Among them is the 'Shi Family of the First Divine Temple', represented by Elder Shi Renshan. He is not only the master of the First Divine Temple, but also the current head of the Shi Family."

"The Duanmu family of the Second Divine Temple, Saint Elder Duanmu Peng is from the Duanmu family."

"As well as the Shen family of the Third Temple, the Mo family of the Fourth Temple, the Lu family of the Fifth Temple, the Zhao family of the Seventh Temple, the Li family of the Eighth Temple, and the Murong family who support the Ninth Temple."

"These nine families are considered to be the more famous families among the current '36 families of the Demon Palace'."

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, and Li Guxian slowly explained:

"A family like the Zhang family should be a relatively small family within the Nine Nether Demon Palace."

“Perhaps there are only one or two people in the family who have reached the level of Hunyuan Daoguo and hold some kind of position in the Demon Palace. Perhaps they also have the right to attend meetings in the Council of Elders.”

Just as Li Guxian was explaining to Lin Bai, the warrior named Zhang Sheng, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, flew towards the direction of Yunzhou.

While rushing over quickly, he shouted for help:

"Brother Di Zi, help me!"

Lin Bai, Li Guxian and others immediately looked over and saw Zhang Sheng rushing over. The five or six guards also quickly took action, as if they wanted to kill Zhang Sheng.

Daozi Yuyou was furious when he saw this, and he coldly scolded: "Didn't I tell you not to do it?"

"Are you looking for death?"

Taoist Yu You rushed out first before receiving Lin Bai's order, and with a palm strike from mid-air, he severely injured several guards who were trying to kill Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng managed to escape and quickly came to the front of Yunzhou. He looked up with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Sheng was delighted to see Lin Bai and Li Guxian standing side by side on the bow of the boat.

Lin Bai ignored Zhang Sheng and looked coldly at the guards who acted on their own, and asked with a smile:

"Are you planning to kill people in front of me?"

The guards were seriously injured and hurried to the front of Yunzhou, bowed and replied:

"Please forgive us, Your Highness. We acted rashly because we were worried that Zhang Sheng might harm you."

"Your Majesty, please be aware that the Zhang family has colluded with the Demon-Slaying Alliance and is extremely evil. Please do not believe anything Zhang Sheng says."

Lin Bai frowned, suddenly not knowing how to deal with this matter.

According to his previous character, he would have killed these people directly.

But now that he is a disciple of the Demon Palace, it is obviously against the rules for him to execute the warriors of the Demon Palace guards so easily and hastily.

Lin Bai asked Li Guxian: "What should we do next?"

Li Guxian understood and said, "Miss Yuyou, please seal the cultivation of these guards, throw them on the cloud boat, and bring them back to the Demon Palace."

"Zhang Sheng will also follow us back to the Demon Palace. Senior Brother Di Zi is willing to come forward and will naturally give your Zhang family justice!"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he knelt in mid-air and kowtowed to Lin Bai to thank him:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Dizi."

The five or six imperial guards turned pale when they heard this. Facing Daozi Yu You's level of cultivation, they were unable to resist at all.

He could only watch helplessly as his cultivation was sealed and then he was thrown onto the cloud boat.

Lin Bai was confused about Li Guxian's actions and asked curiously, "What does Goddess Li Guxian want to do?"

Li Guxian chuckled and said to Lin Bai: "Senior Brother Emperor, it seems that while we were fighting outside, the First Son of God was not idle either. He probably used his authority to eliminate dissidents inside the Demon Palace."

"In that case, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

He ordered his disciple Yu You to take Zhang Sheng to the inner part of the cloud boat to rest, and then continued to say to Lin Bai:

"Whether Zhang Sheng's Zhang family has colluded with the Demon-Slaying Alliance or not is not important to us."

"The important thing is... we can use this as an excuse to cause trouble for the First Son of God."

Lin Bai looked at Li Guxian with surprise. He had never expected that Li Guxian would have such an idea.

She doesn't care at all whether the Zhang family has really colluded with the Demon-Exterminating Alliance. She just wants to use this opportunity of the Zhang family to deal with the First Son of God!
