This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

At Taiyi Medical Clinic in Anyi County, Li Daoxuan, who was giving a sermon to Qingfeng and the others, suddenly stopped.

He suddenly looked up at the window, raised his hand, and a golden light arrived in an instant.

"A message talisman, it's Junior Brother Wang's message talisman..."

Qingfeng suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with worry.

Each of them, fellow disciples and their siblings, possesses a communication talisman crafted using their own birth chart.

Once used, it can instantly transmit information to the intended recipient, even if the recipient is thousands of miles away.

However, these communication talismans are not easy to make, and using them will consume a certain amount of essence and vital energy.

It will never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Qingfeng, Mingyue, and Wang Jingshu were greatly shocked. They immediately realized that Wang Yangming must have encountered an insurmountable danger. Otherwise, given his character, he would never have used a communication talisman to trouble his master.

Li Daoxuan raised his hand and grasped the golden light, forming a hand seal as he softly uttered:

"Show..."

The golden light vanished, transforming into a divine thought that echoed in Li Daoxuan's mind.

"Sir...your disciple is unfilial..."

Li Daoxuan's expression changed drastically. After hearing the first sentence, he got up and left the quiet room, leaving Qingfeng and the others with a message.

"I'm going to Kyoto..."

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous dragon roar resounded, and a golden dragon tens of feet long appeared out of thin air, roaring towards the north.

Standing atop the dragon's head, Li Daoxuan kept his eyes closed, continuing to listen to Wang Yangming's divine telepathic transmission.

"It is my great fortune to have received your guidance over the years."

"It is a pity that I may never be able to return to fulfill my filial duty to you, Master. I bid you farewell and bow in gratitude."

"Your disciple has committed a grave offense, enraging the Emperor, and your family will surely suffer the consequences."

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, and I beg you to protect my Wang family lineage."

"If there is an afterlife, I will serve you like an ox or a horse to repay your great kindness."

"Sir...take care...your disciple Wang Yangming bids farewell..."

Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, and the floating clouds in the sky passed by in an instant.

An aura as powerful as the might of heaven descended suddenly.

Whenever they passed through, all the living beings below were terrified, feeling as if divine punishment was about to befall them.

"Fame...Master is here...Wait for me..."

Li Daoxuan made another hand seal, and lightning appeared, causing the golden dragon beneath him to surge in speed once more.

Meanwhile, at the Prince Xianping's Mansion in Kyoto.

Wang Yangming handed Jiang Ping'an a porcelain bottle and a talisman, and instructed him:

"Keep this talisman close to your body; it will protect you."

"There are two elixirs in this porcelain bottle. If you are seriously injured, take one to save your life."

"Keep these safe."

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and said:

"No, you need it more than I do..."

Wang Yangming, holding a long sword, smiled gently:

"I have the sword in my hand, that's enough. Keep it safe and don't distract me."

Jiang Ping'an was about to refuse when Wang Yangming immediately changed the subject:

"Now is not the time to refuse. I used Taoist magic to leave the palace, so the gates of Shangdu should not have received the news yet. Let's take this opportunity to leave the city and get out of here as soon as possible."

Jiang Ping'an stopped refusing and accepted the porcelain bottle and amulet before heading off with Wang Yangming.

"Princess..."

The maid Qing'er cried out in a trembling voice.

Jiang Ping'an was taken aback, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Qing'er, come with us..."

Qing'er shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"Princess...you must leave quickly. Qing'er will stay behind to buy you some time..."

Jiang Ping'an refused, but Qing'er was resolute. She put on Jiang Ping'an's wedding dress and sat in front of the dressing table, ignoring her completely.

Wang Yangming was deeply moved and couldn't help but clasp his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Thank you so much, Miss Qing'er..."

Jiang Ping'an pondered for a moment, then took out the porcelain bottle and asked Wang Yangming:

"May I leave Qing'er a single elixir?"

Wang Yangming nodded.

"That's how it should be."

Jiang Ping'an poured out a pill and handed it to Qing'er, but Qing'er refused to take it. Jiang Ping'an could only sternly say:

"If you don't want to, then come with me..."

Qing'er had no choice but to accept the pills and bid farewell to Jiang Ping'an.

The two knew in their hearts that Qing'er would surely face a life-or-death situation if she stayed behind. With such a great favor, what was a single spirit pill?

The two bid farewell to Qing'er and climbed out of the window on the side of her room.

At this time, no one knew that Wang Yangming had come to the Xianping Prince's Mansion, so there were no guards in the mansion.

No one noticed that the two had already climbed over the wall from the backyard of the Prince's mansion.

After leaving the palace and bypassing the marriage procession, the two left the outer city as quickly as possible.

The news from the palace had just arrived, and the inner city was already under martial law as soon as the two left.

Fortunately, both of them were highly skilled, and after avoiding the main street, they leaped and jumped with great speed.

Before long, we finally saw the south gate of Shangdu City.

At this time, everything at the city gate was as usual, and the guards were not more stringent than usual.

Clearly, news from the palace hasn't arrived yet.

After all, the capital city is too big; even riding a fast horse would take quite a while.

Wang Yangming breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with Jiang Ping'an, and then walked towards the city gate.

Upon arriving here, they dared not quicken their pace, lest they arouse suspicion.

The city walls of Shangdu were very thick, and the gate passages beneath the walls were more than ten zhang long.

Normally, this distance wouldn't be a problem.

But at this moment, the two of them felt as if each day was an eternity as they walked through the passage, every moment was torture.

The moment I finally walked out of the city gate, the sunlight shone on me, and I felt a kind of dazed feeling, as if I had been reborn.

Once outside the city, Wang Yangming grabbed Jiang Ping'an's hand and whispered:

"Walk..."

The two of them increased their speed dramatically, wanting only to escape this ruthless capital city as quickly as possible.

"stop..."

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Ping'an looked back and saw a group of masked men in brocade robes moving as fast as ghosts, passing through the doorway and chasing after them.

Jiang Ping'an was startled.

"The Emperor's personal guards..."

This is the most mysterious and powerful personal guard around the emperor. Although it only has three hundred men, it is rumored that every soldier in this personal guard is at least a fourth-level Grand Martial Master.

Their leader is a Grandmaster of the Six Realms.

Wang Yangming's heart tightened; he hadn't expected these people to react so quickly.

He scooped Jiang Ping'an up in his arms, his inner energy erupting, increasing his speed once more.

However, the group of masked men chasing after him were no slower than him, and each of them was surrounded by true energy, all of them being experts above the fourth realm.
