Shocked, everyone except Master has a vest

The girl didn't seem to notice Zhao Huoling's nervousness, and she led him through the hall with ease.

"Master, I brought someone here who wants to see you." There was a hint of respect in her tone.

The young man with picturesque features looked at her. His gaze stayed on Zhao Huoling for a moment, then he frowned slightly.

"Come in, I've been waiting for a long time." There was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the national teacher. The young man's handsome figure was bright and elegant, but there was always a hint of gloom.

Zhao Huoling looked at the national teacher carefully and indeed found something strange.

The Imperial Master didn't seem to care about Zhao Huoling's scrutiny. He motioned for the two to sit down and slowly said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Zhao Huoling nodded, his eyes sharp: "The Taoist method used by the National Master just now was to deduce someone's fate?"

The Imperial Master smiled slightly, and his gaze shifted to the princess, his eyes darkening slightly: "I am just making more deductions for my beloved disciple's fate."

Zhao Huoling frowned slightly. He knew that the purpose of the national teacher was definitely not just this. He glanced at the girl and said, "National teacher, do you know about the boundary?"

The Imperial Master nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are talking about the fate of the immortals, right? Throughout history, those who have sought the immortals have all headed east to seek the immortals. It is said that those who find the Tongtian Tree can become immortals."

Zhao Huoling nodded slightly, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes: "That's right. I came here this time to ask the national teacher about the whereabouts of the Tongtian Tree."

The corner of the Imperial Master's mouth curled up in an arc that seemed like a smile. He gently stroked the jade ruyi in his hand and said slowly: "The Tongtian Tree is the most precious treasure in the world. How can it be so easy to find. However, I have heard some clues."

The girl listened quietly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

The Imperial Master continued, "The Tongtian Tree is located in the easternmost part of the world, where there is a mysterious sea called 'Biluo Sea'. It is said that there is an island in the center of Biluo Sea, and the Tongtian Tree grows on the island.

However, to get there, one must cross a cursed sea that is fraught with danger."

Zhao Huoling frowned, he knew that this journey would be full of difficulties and obstacles, but his determination was not shaken.

"Master, do you have any method to break the curse?" Zhao Huoling asked.

The Imperial Master pondered for a moment, then took out an ancient jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Huoling: "This jade pendant may be of some help to you. It can resist some evil spirits, but whether it can break the curse depends on your luck."

Zhao Huoling took the jade pendant and felt the faint spiritual energy contained in it. He was delighted and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The Imperial Master waved his hand and added: "I just want to make my disciple happy."

Zhao Huoling stood up and bowed to the Imperial Master and the girl. "Thank you for your guidance, Imperial Master. I will set off now."

The girl also stood up, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Mr. Zhao, you have to be careful."

Zhao Huoling smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence: "Don't worry, I will be safe."

After saying that, he turned and left the hall.

The girl just stood there quietly, looking at his receding back.

"Yue'er is so naughty that she actually found such a big trouble for my master." There was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the national teacher, and the formation under his feet emitted light.

"Master...what are you going to do?" The girl turned around and took a step back, with a look of "fear" on her little face.

Zhao Huoling deliberately ambushed outside the national teacher's residence to see if there was anything unusual.

He felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, always feeling that things would not be that simple.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a wave of earth energy coming. A light flashed in Zhao Huoling's eyes, and he saw the formation rising in the hall where they had just talked.

"Not good!" Zhao Huoling's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that the Imperial Master might be doing something bad to the princess. He turned around without hesitation and rushed into the Imperial Master's residence.

The Imperial Preceptor was planning to take advantage of the right time, place and people to use the princess's lotus to reincarnate and build her celestial body foundation.

Then he would sacrifice the lives of millions of people in the entire Huangtian Kingdom to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. In this way, he could use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to tear open the entrance to the plane and venture into the world of immortal cultivation.

Zhao Huoling's figure was like a flash of lightning, instantly penetrating through the numerous doors of the Imperial Master's residence and heading straight for the main hall.

His speed was so fast that he almost left an afterimage in the air.

The imperial master's evil smile echoed in the hall. His fingers gently pinched the girl's chin, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Yue'er, don't you like your master very much? Today, I will make you the cornerstone of my great achievement."

The girl's eyes were filled with fear, her body was shaking slightly, and she couldn't move no matter how hard she tried, but she still tried to stay calm. "Master, what are you going to do?"

The Imperial Master did not answer, but picked up the girl and walked towards the soft couch. He gently flicked his sleeves, and the incense on the table slowly lit up.

The girl looked scared on the surface, but was speechless in her eyes. She had just experienced this powerful fragrance in her dream.

I didn't expect that my consciousness was attached to Princess Yaoyue and I encountered it again. It was so sour and refreshing that it was simply unbelievable.

"This is the love fragrance that I made especially for you. You must enjoy it." The national teacher lifted the girl's hair with his slender fingers and let the hair slip through his fingertips.

The moment Zhao Huoling rushed into the hall, he saw the imperial teacher preparing to do something inappropriate to the princess.

He roared angrily and rushed towards the national teacher like a gust of wind, with a long sword shining with cold light in his hand.

"Stop!" Zhao Huoling thrust out with his sword, shaking the candlelight in the hall.

The imperial teacher was stunned by this sudden change. He did not expect that Zhao Huoling would come back so quickly.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by gloom.

"Sword intent? Are you the legendary cultivator?" the national teacher asked in a cold voice, but he secretly formed seals with his hands, preparing to fight back.

Zhao Huoling did not answer. His eyes were fixed on the Imperial Master, with the sword in his hand pointing directly at the Imperial Master's throat.

Upon seeing this, the Imperial Master knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully. He snorted coldly, summoned the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and a white bone ghost claw stretched out from the magic weapon and grabbed Zhao Huoling.

Zhao Huoling neither evaded nor gave way. He brandished his sword, and with sword energy running rampant, he fought with the national teacher's ghost, and turbulence broke out wantonly.

The tables and chairs in the hall were shattered under the impact of this force.

The girl was affected by the aftermath of this force and her body flew backwards involuntarily.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Huoling caught her steadily and held her in his arms.

"Yue'er, are you okay?" Zhao Huoling asked with concern.

The girl shook her head, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and her voice pretended to be strong: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Huoling nodded. He knew that this battle would be a fierce one.

When the Imperial Master saw this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He knew that his plan had been exposed, and if he didn't get rid of Zhao Huoling today, he would never be able to turn things around.

He began to operate the Bagua plate with all his strength, and the power of the formation began to frantically absorb Zhao Huoling's spiritual energy.

Zhao Huoling felt that his spiritual power was being sucked away like silk from a cocoon. His body began to become weak, and the sword in his hand gradually lost its luster.
