The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 19: The Face-Saving Technique Waiting for the Dawn

When Wang Zizai arrived at the Holy City, it had already turned into a powder keg that could explode at any time.

First, many members of the ancient tribe rushed out from Zishan a few days ago to attack the Divine City, but finally retreated under the intimidation of several imperial weapons.

Afterwards, Jiang Taixu was sent to the Dragon Transformation Pool. People from the Jiang family brought the Hengyu Furnace to guard and suppress the entire city. Even so, there were people who tested the Dragon Transformation Pool and did not want to see Jiang Taixu resurrected.

For a smaller disturbance, Ye Fan still used the pseudonym Gu Feng and gambled on stones with the Yuanshu family, cutting out a bunch of things, the most valuable of which were the Qilin magic medicine seeds.

Some people simply want the magic medicine, while others don't want the seeds of the magic medicine to fall into the hands of the Jiang family. In order to save the God King, the grievances and grudges are complicated. Ye Fan was forced into a desperate situation, and in order to save the God King, he has already entered the Dragon Pool.

Wang Zizai did not enter the Dragon Pond, and he did not have any magic medicine, so why would he go there? He just watched from afar with Yan Qingci until after dark, when conflicts broke out and the powder keg of the Divine City was finally ignited.

At first, no one knew which imperial weapon it was, hiding and restraining the Hengyu Furnace.

Wang Zizai felt that the most likely possibility was the dragon-patterned black gold tripod. This was also the reason why he did not want to invite this imperial weapon to participate in major events, as he always felt unsafe behind it.

Then, thirteen Saint Lord-level strongmen attacked the Dragon Transformation Pond. The palace above the Dragon Transformation Pond was shattered, and the palace where the pond was located appeared directly in front of the world, revealing a body of the God King with dried flesh and blood and shaped like a skeleton.

Then three old monsters with eerie aura and aura of death appeared, trying to break the incomplete formation of the emperor.

At this time, Wang Zizai slowly appeared with Yan Qingci.

"No matter which imperial weapon you are, please give me a favor today and retreat. How about it?" Wang Zizai said to the imperial weapon that was hiding itself.

"Where did this young man come from? He is so bold as to talk about face with imperial soldiers." Someone who didn't know Wang Zizai complained.

But the next moment, he was amazed. Not only did the imperial soldiers stop fighting, but even the thirteen Saint Lord-level powerhouses stopped attacking and looked at Wang Zizai, or to be more precise, at the vermilion gourd in his hand.

"Is this okay? Are you so easy to talk to? If you want face, then give it to me."

Many people looked confused. Those who knew Wang Zizai were basically people from the major holy lands. It was estimated that many of the thirteen holy masters were from holy lands.

"With the emperor's soldiers here, how can we be afraid of him, a fourth-level cultivator?" said an old monster, not understanding why they stopped.

"Senior Heng Yu Lu, slap your face." Wang Zizai said directly to Heng Yu Lu.

These three old monsters who have survived to this day by eating the Yinming Grass, no one knows where they came from, and it is obvious that they are out of date with information.

Hengyu Lu also cooperated, and a divine power was sent down, and the old monster was instantly reduced to ashes. The man who secretly controlled the imperial weapon wanted to use the power of the imperial weapon to stop him, but unfortunately the imperial weapon god saw Wang Zizai's hand on the gourd lid and ignored him.

The imperial soldiers and gods already have the concept of "I", which is equivalent to another kind of life. As a living being, it has the instinct to pursue life and avoid death.

Even the ancient emperors could not face death calmly. Most of them killed themselves and stayed in the forbidden zone, let alone the imperial soldiers.

Moreover, for the imperial soldiers, it was not a life-and-death situation, so there was no need to take risks. So this outrageous scene happened before their eyes.

"King of the Dark Night, I will only protect the God King for this night. At dawn, no matter what God King Jiang's condition is, I will not use the imperial army to fight you. How about it?" Wang Zizai directly pointed out the identity of the person in the dark.

"The King of Dark Night?" No one expected that there was a king in the dark. Now that his identity was exposed, the King of Dark Night simply stood up.

The Dark Night King came here for two purposes. One was to seize the Hengyu Furnace which was missing an important part of the Fire God Furnace. The other was to kill Jiang Taixu and avenge his brother. He always believed that his brother, the Sun King, was killed by Jiang Taixu using the Hengyu Furnace.

Now that the borrowed imperial soldiers have gone on strike, there is no hope of seizing the Hengyu Furnace. If it is possible to fight with Jiang Taixu and kill him, that would be good too. The King of Dark Night naturally agreed.

Wang Zizai turned his head and asked Jiang Taixu, "What does the Divine King think?"

Jiang Taixu tried his best to nod slightly to show his agreement. At this time, he had already taken the Dragon Ball Fruit that Ye Fan had sent him, which contained the elixir of immortality. For Jiang Taixu, only half an hour was enough.

Jiang Taixu has been trapped in Zishan for four thousand years. Although his spiritual energy has dried up and his cultivation has stopped, his heart has already become indestructible in loneliness.

I don't know how many times I have deduced the realm of Saint, and I have already understood it in my mind. As long as I can pass the realm of death, I can quickly cultivate to the realm of Saint King. A mere King of Dark Night is nothing to worry about.

"Fairy Caiyun, now that you are here, please come out." Wang Zizai said again to the void in the distance.

When Jiang Taixu heard this, his eyes flashed with divine light. He looked in the direction where Wang Zizai was looking, and saw an old woman wearing a five-colored feathered robe, with sparse white hair and leaning on a cane, hidden behind the void.

However, at this moment, there was a bloody hole in Fairy Caiyun's chest, with blood gushing out, and she was almost pierced through.

"Brother Taixu, don't look at me. I don't want you to see me like this." Fairy Caiyun said with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Taixu in the Hualong Pool also had tears in his eyes.

Fairy Caiyun's death was approaching, but she didn't expect to hear news about Jiang Taixu before she died. When she learned that someone wanted to kill Jiang Taixu, she hurried to help, wanting to risk her own life to save Jiang Taixu.

After arriving at the Divine City, he was stopped by the King of Dark Night. The King of Dark Night wanted Jiang Taixu to watch Fairy Caiyun die in front of him as a revenge on Jiang Taixu, so he severely injured Fairy Caiyun, but he did not expect that Wang Zizai would interfere.

Seeing that Jiang Taixu was no longer in danger, Fairy Caiyun did not want Jiang Taixu to see her current appearance. She just wanted to look at Jiang Taixu from afar and then leave. However, she did not expect to be discovered by Wang Zizai.

Wang Zizai stepped forward and handed Fairy Caiyun a healing pill, saying, "Senior, your youth and beauty can be regained, so don't worry too much."

Wang Zizai knew that the recovered Jiang Taixu had this ability, but Fairy Caiyun’s biggest problem was that her time was up and she could not be saved by human power.

Jiang Taixu was able to live out his second life with a crystal clear heart of Taoism that was cultivated through four thousand years of solitude, but Fairy Caiyun could not.

However, if it cannot survive, it can be sealed with the Divine Source Liquid. The ancient family should have the Divine Source Liquid left, but given the character of the God King, he may not be willing to use it.

If all else fails, there must be a restricted area. Wang Zizai discovered that he had one more reason to seize the Immortal Mountain.

Now that the battle had been agreed upon, even the imperial soldiers that looked like the black gold tripod with dragon patterns had retreated. Those who should retreat naturally retreated. The thirteen Saint Lord-level powerhouses hid in the Divine City and disappeared.

The remaining two old monsters, neither human nor ghost, naturally did not have the courage to fight against the recovered God-King, and no one knew where they went. Only the King of Dark Night stayed here, waiting for the arrival of dawn, and he was worthy of being a king.

Wang Zizai naturally stayed by the Hualong Pond, waiting for dawn, and listened to Ye Fan talk about his various adventures, such as how he cut a monkey out of a stone, and the seeds of magical medicine, etc., which left Yan Qingci stunned.
