Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

"It seems that no matter what, the matter with Taoist Wan Yu must be resolved first."

"The imperial court has too many troubles. Only by stabilizing one aspect can we have the energy to deal with other aspects."

The emperor looked at He Xun again: "He Aiqing, the imperial court will soon send someone to Feitian Pavilion with heavy gifts. At that time, you will accompany the team to declare the decree and let King Ming take my place in the court and solemnly apologize to Taoist Wan Yu."

"No matter what Taoist Wanyu's request is, I will try my best to satisfy him. If there is anything I can't decide, please report back to me at any time."

"We must stabilize Master Wan Yu before we can talk about anything else."

"I obey the decree!" He Xun promised.

"Also, you have to handle Zhou Yuniang's case well. Her current position is even more important to the court."

The Emperor continued: "Go and send a message to Zhou Yuniang and ask her to find out as much as possible how the Demon Cult colluded with the Shenyue Saint Clan?"

"Also, if possible, let her find out whether Gu Wuxue is really back?"

"Hmph, if Gu Wuxue is really in the Southern Territory, I don't believe that he didn't contact the Demon Sect."

"In addition, the Demon Cult has been fighting against my court for so many years. Now it is time to deal with them. You ask Zhou Yuniang to cooperate with you and destroy the Demon Cult as quickly as possible."

"This..." He Xun hesitated: "But Your Majesty, if Gu Wuxue has really come back, will we completely anger him if we destroy the demon sect?"

"I will solve this matter."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "When the founding ancestor left the Southern Territory, he left a concentric talisman behind, stating that it could only be used when there were troubles that he could not solve."

"For thousands of years, the Concentric Talisman has been kept within the royal family and has never been used. But now I think it's time to take it out."

"The power of the Concentric Talisman is amazing. As long as we activate it, no matter where the Holy Ancestor or the old man is, he will be able to know it immediately."

"Hmph, I don't believe it anymore. Back then, we couldn't defeat the Holy Ancestor in a bloody battle. Is it possible now?"

The emperor's eyes were ferocious: "No matter who dares to threaten our Lieyang Empire, as long as the Holy Ancestor and his old man come back, I will let them die without a burial place."

It turns out that the Lieyang Royal Family still has such a trump card?

He Xun was shocked in his heart, but said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Before the return of the Holy Ancestor, I will do my best to stabilize all parties for your Majesty."

"Very good. In the entire Lieyang Empire, you are the one I trust the most. I believe you will not let me down."

The emperor smiled slightly and took out a pill: "Come on, He Aiqing, take the medicine. Don't resent me. After all, you know too much. I must guarantee your loyalty, do you understand?"

"I understand that my loyalty to Your Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth!"

He Xun didn't hesitate, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Poison has been planted in He Xun's body since the first time he protected the emperor when he fell ill.

That kind of poison is very harmful and must be suppressed by taking the antidote at regular intervals. Otherwise, once the poison takes effect, you will suffer from the pain of thousands of insects and die.

If there was no such means to suppress it, how could the emperor ask He Xun to protect him every time he got sick?

The emperor's trust in He Xun indeed exceeded that of King Ming and others, but the price of this trust was something no one was willing to bear.

It's a pity that the emperor has no idea that the "loyal ministers" controlled by him with poison have already been used by others for their own use using more sophisticated methods.

And any secret he has is no longer a secret to that person.

Three days later.

A group of people left Lieyang City in a mighty manner and headed straight for Feitian Pavilion.

This team is quite large, with hundreds of luxurious carriages in total. Each carriage is pulled by at least six cloud-walking horses and travels through the sky.

The Cloud-Stepping Horse is a kind of spiritual beast with a docile temperament and good at flying.

Its appearance is the same as an ordinary horse, but it can fly on auspicious clouds and fly in the sky. It is extremely precious and only the powerful in the court can keep it.

The convoy was guarded by the imperial army, led by He Xun, accompanied by two first-rank officials, namely the Minister of Household Affairs and the newly appointed Minister of Rites, as well as numerous other officials at all levels.

This shows how much the imperial court attaches great importance to this trip to Feitian Pavilion.

The atmosphere in the team was quite depressing. After all, this errand was not a shameful thing.

They flew all the way and spent five whole days before finally arriving at Feitian Pavilion.

I saw that the Feitian Pavilion today has been shrouded in the rich desire of the mortal world, and there seems to be endless illusions that flicker and fade. Just looking at it can make people's blood boil.

"What's going on? Why does Feitian Pavilion have so many worldly desires?" the new Minister of Rites asked in confusion.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance frowned slightly: "I heard that Feitian Pavilion's skills are based on absorbing the desires of the mortal world. Could it be that these desires of the mortal world are caused by those women?"

"Hmph, if Feitian Pavilion had the ability to arouse so many human desires, I'm afraid there would have been masters in the saint realm long ago. How could it be that its position in the world of immortality would be so embarrassing?"

He Xun sneered.

At this time, many monks suddenly flew up from the mortal city below.

Those were clearly King Ming, several young masters, and the soldiers under their command.

"Meet His Highness Prince Ming!"

Everyone saluted quickly.

"No gifts!"

King Ming raised his hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work, I am finally waiting for you."

"My lord, please forgive me for keeping you waiting for so long."

He Xun said quickly: "My lord, why are you not in Feitian Pavilion and instead went to the mortal city below?"

"I would like to stay in Feitian Pavilion, but do you think we can stay there?"

Prince Ming pointed at Feitian Pavilion and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what Taoist Wanyu wants to do to arouse so many worldly desires. Is it because he sincerely doesn't want us to stay in it?"

"Hey, to the people of Feitian Pavilion, the desire of mortals may be the supreme treasure, but to other monks, it can be said to be extremely poisonous."

"If we stay in Feitian Pavilion, once we absorb too much desires from the mortal world, we will probably become obsessed with desires."

He shook his head: "Okay, let's get down to business. What's the emperor's will?"

He Xun quickly took out the imperial edict: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has agreed to confer Taoist Wan Yu as a national teacher, and has also brought countless treasures of heaven and earth as an apology."

"These heavenly materials and earthly treasures are all very precious things. They have been collected by the royal family and major families for thousands of years."

"When the time comes, it will be up to the prince to announce the decree on behalf of his majesty. I hope Taoist Wan Yu can see the court's sincerity."

"I hope, that Taoist priest is not easy to deal with." Prince Ming was unsure, but as of now, that was all he could do.

"Everyone, then follow me to Feitian Pavilion."

Prince Ming took a deep breath and led everyone to fly to Feitian Pavilion.

They all had solemn expressions on their faces. They didn't look like they were giving gifts to others, but more like they were going to die generously.
