Chapter 1119 Demonstrating Strength
The Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame had already reacted when the National Preceptor You'an appeared. It awoke from its semi-dormant state and, the instant the black energy approached, it shot out from between Yunxi's eyebrows, blocking the evil energy and beginning to burn it. Its master's body was its territory, so how could it allow external evil to invade? Therefore, in less than a breath, the evil energy was burned to ashes.

National Preceptor You'an's pupils contracted, and he blurted out in disbelief:

"How is that possible? How can you use immortal energy?"

Yunxi didn't even bother with nonsense. Even if You'an in front of her wasn't an evil cultivator, he was still someone who aided and abetted evil, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control evil energy. So when the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame began to burn the evil energy, the Seven Star Deadly Staff had already appeared in her hand.

Just as the other party cried out that it was impossible, Yunxi leaped up with her toes touching the ground, and the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand slammed down heavily. This time, the Yao Guang Star shone brightly, and it collided with the jade Ruyi raised by You'an, bursting out a dazzling purple halo.

With a "crack," the jade ruyi in You'an's hand was snapped in half at the waist. At the same time, You'an was also sent flying, crashing into the pavilion where the three of them had just been. The next instant, a bolt of purple lightning struck straight down from the night sky, hitting You'an on the head as he tried to get up.

He screamed in agony, but the purple lightning didn't dissipate immediately. Instead, it continued to circulate within his body, causing You'an to convulse uncontrollably. His shrill cries alerted the guards on the perimeter, who rushed in to try and save him.

But Yunxi stopped her in the next instant:

"Don't come in if you don't want to die. Get out."

Dugu He immediately raised his voice:
"You all go out. The king will be safe with the protection of this grandmaster. Don't delay our efforts to eliminate evil."

The king also spoke with difficulty:

"You all stay outside and do not let anyone in."

The guard leader had already seen the situation in the garden. His pupils contracted and his eyelids twitched violently, so he immediately obeyed the order and led his men out.

They had no choice but to retreat. Besides the agonizingly wailing National Preceptor You'an, there were also wisps of black gas, clearly visible to the naked eye, rampaging through the garden. This sent chills down the spines of the guard leaders, who were clearly unqualified to handle the situation. So they decisively chose to retreat.

At this moment, the rampaging black evil energy in the garden was leaking from the jade ruyi that Yunxi had broken. Their target was all living things in the garden, and they were looking for a new place to live.

But Yunxi wouldn't give the evil energy a chance. Besides sending out a wisp of Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame to protect the other three people present, she tapped the ground twice with the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand. The Yao Guang and Tianxuan Star on the staff lit up at the same time. A power ring with the superimposed power of lightning and fire immortal energy quickly formed under her feet and spread out rapidly, locking the scattered evil energy firmly around her. The next moment, purple lightning and red fire rushed into the black energy and began to strangle the evil energy.

Yunxi frowned deeply. She didn't know what was in the evil formation, so she had to be extremely careful. She could have dealt with the evil energy in front of her with a single lightning strike, but now she had to use the Seven Star Deadly Staff, which felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Three minutes later, the garden returned to calm, and Youan's wailing stopped. He lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.

Yunxi looked around before approaching You'an with the Seven Star Deadly Staff. She used the staff to flip him over, looked at his wrinkled, dark, and shiny old face, gave a cold snort, then put away her natal magic weapon and said to Dugu He:
"Grandmaster He, I'll have to trouble you with the people You'an brought. Make sure they don't take the message back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, or the King and you will both be in trouble."

Dugu He understood Yunxi's meaning, but he still looked at the king.

After exhaling a breath of stale air, the King of Blazing Sun said to Dugu He:

"Thank you for your help, Grandmaster He. Just leave one person alive for questioning, and deal with the rest. These people have often done evil by taking advantage of the power of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Now it's time for them to pay their debts."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving approval, Dugu He slipped out of the garden. Yunxi found You'an on the ground somewhat of an eyesore, so she casually flicked out a Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame, burning the other's corpse into white powder, and then swept it into the flower bushes as nourishment before looking at the still-shaken king.

"Your Majesty, did you see clearly just now? Who was being punished by Heaven?"

The Blazing Sun King remained silent for a long while before speaking:
"Thank you for your help, fairy. Apart from the wicked Imperial Preceptor You'an, I was just being petty before."

Yunxi waved her hand magnanimously and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with you. It was your ancestors who made the wrong decision. As long as you are not confused, it's fine."

The king's expression changed repeatedly, and he only spoke after Dugu He re-entered the garden, exuding a murderous aura:

"So what should we do next?"

After what had just happened, he decided to take a gamble, believe what the otherworldly person in front of him said, do as he was told, and try to give himself a chance to survive.

Yunxi then looked at Dugu He and asked in a calm voice:

"Grandmaster He, did you get some information from the question?"

Dugu He's face was now terrifyingly cold. He glanced at the king before speaking:

"The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is a pleasure nest that You'an built for himself. There are no people of equal strength in it. However, according to their confession, You'an once let slip while drunk that there were people of theirs secretly guarding the forbidden area of ​​the royal palace. They cooperated with each other from the inside and outside to ensure the normal operation of the formation."

Yunxi frowned and said:
"In that case, we should not delay. We should enter the palace immediately. Perhaps You'an's death has already alerted the guardians in the forbidden area. If they have launched some countermeasures, I will be at a great disadvantage against them with my current suppressed strength."

King Chiyang's face paled upon hearing this. Fortunately, he hadn't done anything after entering the forbidden area; he had simply taken a look around and left after not finding any otherworldly beings. He guessed that the person in the shadows probably thought he was there to see a treasure connected to the fate of the nation and hadn't touched anything, which was why the person hadn't shown up or done anything to him.

Yunxi was very satisfied with the change of attitude of the King of Chiyang. Only by making the other party feel threatened would he stand on her side unconditionally. Even if Dugu He could not get anything out of her, she would suggest entering the palace that night so that she could strike while the iron was hot. She was afraid that things would change if she delayed.

She noticed that her memory was fading faster than ever before, and she was certain that the rate of forgetting would be even faster once she entered the palace. Fortunately, the memories of the next thousand years were all related to her core weapon-forging skills in the Fire Forging Secret Realm, so she wouldn't forget any particularly important people or events, except for those related to weapon-forging techniques. Therefore, she had to act as soon as possible.

This time, King Chiyang nodded without hesitation:
"Alright, you will come with me to the palace."

After saying that, he instructed his personal guard:

"Have Commander Yu lead his men to clean up the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Kill all those involved in the evil deeds, release the innocent, and transfer all the wealth of the Imperial Preceptor's residence to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell Commander Yu to keep a low profile and not to alert those around him."
