Chapter 788 - 569 Hidden Official
For some unknown reason, when Master Taiyi departed from the Bright Hall on a golden Xiangyun with the Grandmaster Zuo Han Yuan and the Grand Commandant Xiao Ping, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
This Daoist exerts intense pressure; staying with such a person is akin to having a sword hanging overhead, never knowing when it might fall and claim your life. This oppressive feeling digs deep into the soul, with every moment felt edging toward mental breakdown.
It was assumed that it would take a long time for Master Taiyi to subdue supernatural monsters, allowing them to find a way to expel him from the court and strip him of the State Preceptor position. But unexpectedly, a golden Xiangyun quickly descended again from the heavens, landing outside the Bright Hall.
The civil and military officials saw Master Taiyi returning with Grandmaster Zuo Han Yuan once more.
"What’s going on? Returning so soon? Did Master Taiyi give up on slaying the millennium spirit monster? But why has only the Grandmaster returned, and the Grand Commandant is nowhere to be seen."
Everyone was quite startled.
They had barely caught their breath and were very reluctant to see Master Taiyi return again.
However, Li Yi and the Grandmaster had already walked back into the Bright Hall. Before others could inquire, Grandmaster Zuo Han Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Shenwu, Li Jiye, seated on the dragon throne, and said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Moments ago, I rode the clouds with Master Taiyi and witnessed firsthand his Daoist skills reaching the heavens. He easily killed a millennium spirit monster; appointing him as the State Preceptor is truly justified, and I am convinced."
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
No.
