Chapter 953 Undercurrent
Zhao Heng was also a tolerant person, and his character was even worse than his royal brothers.

Although he was shocked by Tao Yu’s appearance, he quickly calmed down, smiled, and said,
“I believe you are the ‘heir of Yuanshi’, Master Hong Xuanji. I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but now that I see you, your strength is indeed astonishing.”

It is impossible for an ordinary scener to be able to appear here without any reaction at such a close distance.

“Yes, Not Bad.”

Tao Yu looked at Zhao Heng and nodded.

This guy also practices humanitarian techniques, and in Tao Yu’s eyes, his potential is higher than that of Prince Jin.

As for the prince…

There is some obscure aura about that guy. I was not sure before, but now I know a lot about him through the Human Emperor Sword. He might be a pawn of some powerful person, but his methods are not as sophisticated as Liudao and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Zhao Heng didn’t know what Tao Yu’s good evaluation was, but it should be a praise after all, and he had a smile on his face the whole time.

“You are the protagonist of the Qionghua Banquet. Why did you sneak in here? Just come here openly. There will definitely be a banquet for the royal family and major families.”

Because they were from the same hometown and had practiced together for two months, Meng Qi was relatively easy-going towards Tao Yu.

Such words made Zhao Heng, who was standing next to him, secretly shocked. It seemed that the relationship between the two was better than he had imagined.

“I just don’t want to bother with that, and I came over to check out the situation first. I have a feeling that something is going to happen here.”

Tao Yu felt that the feng shui of Shendu was not very good.

Although this formation is very sophisticated, when combined together, the country can use its magic weapons to suppress it, and the peak external scene can host it to compete with the Dharma body.

But Tao Yu had a feeling that something was going to happen here.

With strength reaching this level, even if there may be misleading from the will of this world, the result should be correct.

“This…, you think something is going to happen?”

Meng Qi was shocked, because he knew that this fellow villager was a great Dharma master!
All the people in the six realms must avoid the Dharmakaya!
He even broke free from the forced constraints of the Six Paths!
Zhao Heng was also shocked, but he was surprised for a different reason. He was mainly worried about his own reincarnation mission.

Liudao asked the team members to reunite, not knowing whether the mission was aimed at this descendant of Yuanshi!

If so, it’s really confusing…

“If you are worried that your mission will conflict with mine, then there is no need to worry. Liudao has something to use me for, so they won’t target me here and now.”

Tao Yu seemed to be able to read their minds and waved her hand casually, telling them not to worry.

These words made Zhao Heng even more shocked!
“You, you… well, it seems like nothing can be hidden from Master Hong.”

After finding that Liu Dao had no clues, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but sigh, then looked at Meng Qi with a wry smile.
“It seems like you should have known something a long time ago.”

“I didn’t tell you, so I can’t betray you, right?”

“That’s true, but what can a god do? Who dares to act so recklessly here?”

Zhao Heng also frowned at this time. Are we really going to be so presumptuous?
The Divine Capital, the best place in Dajin!

The imperial family of the Great Jin Dynasty could be said to be elected by the noble families of the world and recognized by the sects. They represent the law in the first place!

Even great Dharma masters would not dare to come here and cause trouble easily.

Otherwise, if a flaw is revealed, it may lead to attacks from opponents and may also give rise to an excuse for public criticism.

“It’s hard to tell the details…”

Tao Yu seemed to be indifferent. In this world of divination and prying into the secrets of heaven, who knows who wants you to know.

He just came in to get a little understanding.

But after entering, Tao Yu felt that this God City seemed to be nothing…

“So what do you think should happen now?”

With a powerful figure around, Meng Qi still mainly consulted Tao Yu for advice.

“Follow the procedure. After all, I was the one who initiated this. Anyone who wants to cause trouble here has to wait until I accomplish what I want…”

Tao Yu’s eyes were somewhat profound.

As for the sabotage between the gods, that’s your business. Anyway, I just want my own…

……

Because it is almost time for the Qionghua Banquet.

On the same day, Meng Qi’s other two reincarnation friends Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu from the Ruan family of Langya also took the opportunity to come over and meet him.

After learning that Tao Yu, the ‘descendant of Yuanshi’ was also there, and was even suspected to be a reincarnation, they naturally met.

It is always better to have good friends than enemies.

Tao Yu also met Qi Zhengyan, a meticulous but plain-looking man, and Ruan Yushu, a man of extraordinary appearance.

After just glancing at the little foodie Ruan Yushu, and feeling the pure girlish innocence, Tao Yu lost interest and turned his gaze to Qi Zhengyan.

This guy…

No, or rather, these chosen reincarnations have more or less arrangements made by the big guys.

It was just that Qi Zhengyan’s inner aura reminded Tao Yu of the ‘Demon Emperor’s Claw’ on the magic weapon exchange list.

“It’s hidden quite deeply.”

Tao Yu’s glance made Qi Zhengyan’s heart sink. He felt as if his family background had been seen through, but he didn’t say anything.

Ruan Yushu was chewing some dried fish while looking at Tao Yu and Qingniao with some curiosity.

I have seen quite a few reincarnations, some hostile and some cooperative.

With Xiao Meng’s guarantee, there will definitely be no problem.

Moreover, from the conversation, she did not sense any fear of Liudao from the other party, and his words were quite casual.

“I am the one who is in charge of this Qionghua Banquet. I can just invite you guys directly when the time comes. However, the organizer is the royal family. I don’t know if they will have any additional arrangements.”

“That’s the best thing.”

Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could feel at ease, Tao Yu continued
“If I invite you, I have to have a formal address, so you still have to go to Beijing publicly, and I will follow you.”

Tao Yu knew that Meng Qi was a time traveler, probably a soul traveler, and could see through his thoughts directly.

It didn’t seem like a big deal if it wasn’t arranged this way, but he really wanted to take a look.

At present, Meng Qi’s identity has also been revealed in the world.

This kind of palace fighting in the mansion is quite gossipy…

……

“The number one on the Human Ranking, ‘Crazy Blade’, has arrived in Beijing!”

“It is rumored that he is on good terms with the ‘Descendant of Yuanshi’, but I don’t know if it is true or not.”

“A lot of people went to challenge him.”

“After all, he is the luckiest one on the list. Although his strength is not weak, there must be many people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous…”

“…”

Changes in the human rankings are what ordinary people pay the most attention to. The changes are fast enough and can be seen and touched.

It is much more down-to-earth than the Heaven Ranking and the Earth Ranking.

And many children of aristocratic families in the capital have also reached the ninth level by relying on their family’s inheritance and resources.

Many of them have even accumulated for a long time.

Since they have never experienced setbacks, they are naturally willing to come and give it a try.

Losing is no big deal, but what if you win?
But soon, Meng Qi defeated many of the geniuses on the Human List outside the restaurant, and even some of the older generation who came to try to extort money from him!
Even most people did not force him to draw his sword. He relied on the artistic conception of harmony between man and nature to use his sword power to repel the enemy from a distance.

Under Tao Yu’s rough arrangement, although Meng Qi felt a little helpless, he still went to Beijing in a high-profile manner.

After defeating many young talents and proving to everyone that the lucky number one on the human list is still the number one on the human list, he also received an invitation from the Su family.

The old servant who sent him to Shaolin came to invite him back…

–

The return of the illegitimate son of the Marquis’s mansion brought about a story of love and hatred.

The original wife of ‘Marquis of Divine Power’ Su Li, the daughter of Constable Ke, who was a master among the Eight Great Constables, simply looked down upon Meng Qi.

She blamed all the miscarriage she had suffered that year on Meng Qi’s physical mother, and even made things difficult for her even though she was number one on the human list.

This kind of resentment made Meng Qi a little frightened.

If his identity had not been investigated after he became famous, it would not be surprising if he was assassinated by her hired men when he was young.

But Meng Qi lived up to his nickname of “crazy”. He confronted Ke Weilan face to face, causing him to fly into a rage on the spot.

“So what if I picked up a number one on the Human Ranking? There are always number one people on the Human Ranking in every generation, but most of the highest achievements cannot surpass the Grandmaster! My father is a genuine Grandmaster!”

The Ke family is even more powerful than the Su family. “Marquis of Divine Power” Su Li is only at the third level of the outer scene, while his half-brother is a top master who has crossed the first ladder to the sixth level of the outer scene and is also one of the eight great detectives.

But there is still a clear gap compared to the Ke family.

Facing Ke Weilan’s disrespectful rage, Su Li’s expression also looked a little ugly. Where would this put him, the head of the family?

But he didn’t have the courage to make a decision and turn against the Ke family for the sake of his son.

But at this moment, the servant came to the door in a hurry and said anxiously:

“Reporting to the head of the family, the ‘heir of Yuanshi’, Master Hong Xuanji, is here to ask for an audience and to inquire about the matters concerning the Qionghua Banquet!”

Hearing these words suddenly, Su Li’s expression also changed.

He was mainly responsible for organizing the Qionghua Banquet, so he naturally knew the importance the current royal family attached to this matter!

It’s not just the royal family.

It can be said that all the major families and sects are paying attention to this!
It involves peerless magical skills that are enough to establish a new school, and there are a total of six styles.

Such a grand event has not occurred in the world for a long time.

Moreover, Tao Yu’s attitude of not caring about the teaching of divine skills and spreading them as long as conditions permit has given hope to many people who have no way to practice. Regardless of whether they have been invited or not, they all gather in the capital of gods. However, Su Li, who is in charge of hosting the event, is just a handyman with a heavy workload.

Once you screw up, it’s gonna be a lot of fun.

“Why don’t you come and invite me? No, I will go and pick you up myself. You all should follow me.”

Now that they had arrived, Su Li hurriedly led these important members of the family to the door and even opened the main door, which was rarely opened, to welcome them.

This is very polite!
Ke Weilan, who was originally still angry, calmed down a lot when he saw Su Li even opening the front door to welcome him.

She knew about the Qionghua Banquet and the ‘Descendant of Yuanshi’, but she didn’t expect that he would be taken so seriously.

After all, the other party did not give a visiting card and did not discuss any etiquette, so it would be too grand on our part.

The door opened, and Tao Yu, dressed in white and holding a sword, stood out against the backdrop of his maid. His appearance alone was enough to intimidate people.

Even though the expression of the power of humanity has been deliberately suppressed, the sense of conviction is still overwhelming, and almost everyone has an inexplicable trust at first sight.

“I have heard of Master Hong’s name for a long time, but I didn’t know he had already arrived in Beijing. I hope I can atone for not welcoming you from afar.”

Su Li had a smile on his face.

Tao Yu didn’t say anything bad.
“Easy to say.”

“Mr. Hong should be here to inquire about the Qionghua Banquet. Please come into the mansion to discuss it.”

Tao Yu didn’t hesitate and walked in through the main entrance. Then he glanced at Meng Qi who was standing behind him in surprise.

“Isn’t this your home? Why don’t you come out to greet me in person?”

Tao Yu’s casual words also stunned everyone from the Su family who was present.

They had heard some rumors, but they knew more about the real situation at the Xingyun Banquet. This person just had a deal with “Crazy Blade”.

Who would have thought that the rumors, which were originally just rumors, would be more real than the first-hand information they got from the prince’s guards!
“Haha, I’m just a small bastard from a marquis’s mansion. I’m not qualified to receive distinguished guests.”

Meng Qi grinned. Actually, it was good to break up. It would save him a lot of trouble.

“No way! Ziyuan just returned home, and your elder brother has a headache and is not suitable to inherit the title. I was just thinking about deciding your status!”

Su Li was also decisive and spoke without hesitation.

In fact, he was originally more inclined to favor his second son. After all, he was his biological son, and it would be much better than adopting one from the fifth son to inherit the throne.

It’s just that it’s very difficult for him to get past his wife, and since the fifth brother is now the strongest master in the Su family, he is under a lot of pressure.

Now, just let it go!
Su Li’s words made Ke Weilan and the ‘Golden Eyed Detective’ Su Yue’s faces change slightly.

This is a hereditary title!
The Su family’s ancestors fought hard to protect the emperor and earned it.

Because the eldest son has a hidden illness, there are undercurrents within the Su family who are eyeing the title, but no one knows how many times they have clashed.

Su Ziyuan was sent to Shaolin at a young age just to avoid this vortex.

As a result, when this bastard returned for the first time in many years, Su Li took advantage of the situation and forcibly married him on the first day!

“Oh, so do I have to call you Little Marquis from now on?”

Tao Yu gave Meng Qi a teasing look.

“What little marquis? What good is this worldly title to me? Five generations ago, when my ancestors were doing great service in protecting the emperor, Senior Chonghe might have already started to venture into the martial arts world. What we martial artists pursue is to enter and exit the underworld and live forever in this world. Worldly titles are nothing but passing clouds.”

Meng Qi didn’t want to get involved in this kind of bullshit, he couldn’t even hide from it!
The title that was fought for by everyone is now abandoned. This contrast makes everyone in the Su family feel a little dazed.

Even felt humiliated.

But before they could feel the humiliation, Tao Yu waved his hand.

“Of course it is. I was the one who took the lead in organizing this Qionghua Banquet, so there’s no need to do so many fancy things. Everyone should be here by now. Just notify the royal family and borrow a piece of land to hold the banquet tomorrow. I’m a straightforward person.”

After Tao Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Su Li who was in a daze.

“That’s it.”

This was just a notification of the decision, and Tao Yu had no intention of asking any questions.

The situation in the God’s Capital was a bit turbulent, and Tao Yu didn’t want to be interrupted by an accident before completing the exchange process…

–

In the suburbs of Shendu, due to the cost of cutting firewood in the city, over the years, apart from a few royal gardens, there are also a large number of barren mountains that have been completely cut down.

The woodcutters had to travel far to collect firewood.

And in one of these inconspicuous barren mountains, there were several secret talismans posted outside an abandoned mine.

Several figures met in the crowd, and one of them was wearing a lifelike mask of the Emperor of Heaven!

“Humph, you’ve been so secretive and unwilling to show up, but you invited me to wait here. You’re really brave.”

A bloody figure sneered, and even though he tried to restrain his laughter, his laughter easily caused bloody ripples all around.

It was none other than the Dharmakaya ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, the Blood Sea Rakshasa of the Blood Robe Sect!
“If I hadn’t helped you before, your reincarnation would have been in trouble.”

Han Guang smiled slightly. It was this move that earned him a little trust and maintained the current situation.

“Although we have gathered three Dharmakāyas here, I don’t believe that those hypocritical guys will not make preparations here when it comes to peerless magic skills! They say they are gathering the younger generation, but who knows if they are deliberately luring us out? It will be difficult for us to escape by then.”

Meng Nan, the ‘Great Asura’ of Shura Temple who ranked ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, also snorted coldly at this time.

Now the righteous path is powerful. Not only do they have more Dharmakā masters, but their strength generally suppresses them.

After the magician Han Guang was suppressed, only Guldo holding the Heavenly Punishment Axe could divert their attention.

In this case, what use can the two of them at the bottom of the Heavenly Ranking, plus a mysterious Dharmakaya, be?
“Haha, you are right. Shaolin’s Kongwen, Chunyang Sect’s Chonghe, and Cui Family’s Cui Qinghe have all arrived near the Divine Capital. Add to that the Divine Capital formation. If it were just us, it would be disadvantageous to us once the war started.”

Han Guang grinned.

“You are well-informed, but if you know this, why take the risk? If this magical skill appeared somewhere else, we could find an opportunity, but since it appeared in this divine capital, there is really nothing we can do.”

The evil Dharma body is already weak, and now there is also the Divine Capital formation, so how can we fight against it?
“I also went to look for this heir of Yuanshi for a long time, but unfortunately he was very cautious and ran away.”

Meng Nan smiled coldly.

It involves six unique skills, even if there is no true meaning of inheritance, it is enough to move the mind of the Dharma body and soul!
The key is that if it is not stopped, those who obtain these through righteous means will only become more arrogant.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t find it, otherwise you might not be able to escape with your strength.”

Just at this moment, another cold voice appeared.

The Dharma King Du Shi emerged from his homeland of emptiness and appeared on the scene.

The appearance of this demon who ranked the highest on the Heavenly Ranking besides Guldo also made Meng Nan a little apprehensive. He then snorted coldly.
“I didn’t know you were here. I don’t know why you were dodging me. And what do you mean by what you said? Could it be that the other party has always had a Dharma body protecting him?”

“Yes, the woman beside him who looks like a maid is only slightly weaker than me, and may be even stronger than me.”

The Dharma King Dushi said calmly.

“What did you say!”

Meng Nan was both shocked and a little annoyed.

He was shocked because he didn’t expect that another Dharma body would appear, and it looked like he was of the righteous kind. He was angry because he was looked down upon.

Even if he and Blood Sea Rakshasa were at the bottom of the Heavenly Ranking, it wouldn’t be like this!

“If you don’t believe me, you can meet her yourself when the time comes.”

“Humph, what do you mean? Do you think I will fall for your clumsy provocation? With the Divine Capital formation and so many righteous Dharmakayas, do we really need to show up?”

Meng Nan snorted coldly.

Originally, after the Dharma King Du Shi showed up, there was indeed a chance, but the other side had another Dharma body.

“Unless you go and invite Gu Erduo and Daman, but they probably won’t leave Changshengtian’s protection easily, and Lu Da and He Qi may not be able to come in time to support them. How can you know all the information about the Dharmakaya of the Righteous Path? Besides, there is also the Moon Mani Light King Bodhisattva…”

When talking about the latter part, Meng Nan’s face showed obvious fear.

Bodhisattva Moon Mani Light King not only surpasses ordinary Dharma bodies in realm, but also has the blessing of the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land. If it were not for his own practice path of not actively attacking and rarely taking action, their days would probably be even more difficult.

“Guerduo is in seclusion to comprehend the Heaven Punishment Axe, and he probably won’t come out. Daman has to take charge of the overall situation on the grassland, but He Qi and Lu Da won’t be able to arrive in the short term, so there’s no need to consider them. In addition…”

Han Guang smiled slightly and made way. Then, accompanied by a blurry restriction, several powerful demonic auras emerged from the depths of the cave.

If there wasn’t another layer of shelter outside this cave, it would probably be enough to cause changes in the celestial phenomena!

“Demon King…”

Meng Nan and Xuehai Luosha both had solemn expressions.

I saw three demon kings walking out of them!
The Peacock Demon King Taili, the Kuiniu Demon King and the White Tiger Demon King!
In the hands of the Peacock Demon King, there was a spear that exuded a murderous aura.
“Demon Holy Spear!”

“Some insight.”

Tai Li behaved quite arrogantly.

“With our combined strength, we can naturally successfully seize the Six Seals of the Origin, and even inflict a heavy blow to the righteous, causing one of their Dharmabodhisattvas to perish, thus paving the way for the future.”

“In addition, I will also arrange some means to restrain the Shaolin ‘Kong Wen’ so that he cannot take action.”

Although Han Guang did not take the initiative to reveal that “Kong Wen” was a disguised message, he still made a promise.

He has been disguising himself as ‘Kongwen’ and sneaking around Shaolin. When he is unable to seize the Ananda Sword, he still wants to maximize its value.

This time, there is no doubt, is such an opportunity.

Now is the time when the righteous path is at its weakest!
Gathering the demon clan’s Dharma bodies is enough to catch the enemy by surprise!
“Indeed! But it doesn’t matter. Even if Kong Wen takes action, we still have the advantage! We can definitely do it!”

Meng Nan was not optimistic about this action at first, but as the cards began to emerge one by one, he found that there was a lot of potential for success, so he naturally started to get ready and showed a grim smile.
“Moreover, the resources in this divine capital are also very rich and expensive. We can rob them afterwards and plunder all the accumulations of the Zhao family of Dajin and other families!”

“That blue bird…”

The Dharma King Dushi smiled slightly.

“Then let me contain her. Humph, even if she is really not as strong as me, it will be easy for me to contain her, but I will get all the benefits afterwards!”

“Don’t worry, you contributed a lot, so you can even get a bigger share…”
