Chapter 1165: Adding fuel to the fire

Time passed.

Six days had passed, and there were only four days left until the wedding!

As the day approached, the changes to the heavens became even greater.

As the day of duty approached, the rotation of the sun and moon became more and more chaotic.

In a day, there could even be dozens of alternating nights, causing great waves to appear in the entire world.

Gradually, the moon could not be seen in the night, nor could the sun be seen in the day.

Occasionally, they would mix together, causing the white moon to appear during the day and the black sun to appear during the night!

It was hard to figure out.

Just like Zhou Zhengli's mood.

In the Supreme Heavenly Pavilion in the True Lord Palace, Zhou Zhengli lowered his head and spoke respectfully to the Fourth True Lord, who was looking at the black and white rotating in the sky with his hands behind his back.

"Xie Lingzi, this person, previously in the eastern region, because Your Excellency stood too high and stood aloof from worldly affairs, wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, he was like an ant. Therefore, Your Excellency did not pay attention to some of his despicable actions."

"However, I continued to fight with him in the Cloud Mud, so I naturally know more about him."

"Since Milord is asking about this person, I will tell Milord what I know about him."

"He didn't comprehend his constitution. His constitution came from an evil broken sword in his body."

"This sword's name is Rebellion!"

"Therefore, all of his actions revolved around the word 'betrayal'."

"Betray the sect, betray the orthodoxy, betray everything …"

Zhou Zhengli seemed to be implying something. He looked at the fourth True Lord in front of him and stopped talking, as if giving him time to think.

The Fourth True Lord turned around and looked down at Zhou Zhengli, who was bowing.

"In other words, his betrayal includes his allies!

Because his Dao is betrayal, it doesn't matter to him who he betrays! "

After hearing what the fourth True Lord said, Zhou Zhengli was full of admiration.

"Sir, as expected of the strongest star. With just one sentence from me, you immediately understood. This is something I only came to understand after fighting against you for many years." "That's right.

The Fourth True Lord looked into Zhou Zhengli's eyes.

Zhou Zhengli maintained a respectful expression and did not look at the other party. He lowered his head and bowed.

Heaven Pavilion was silent for a moment.

After a long while, the fourth True Lord spoke.

"Zhou Zhengli, I know of your talent, and I also know of your scheming. How could you, who was able to fight with Xie Lingzi for so many years and was taken to be his natural enemy, possibly be mediocre?"

"Your concealment might be your Dao, or it might be something you're doing on purpose."

"But … if you continue like this, then I don't mind expelling you first. Because based on what happened before, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference whether you exist or not."

"So, only the information regarding Xie Lingzi is not enough. You still have to give me a reason not to expel you immediately."

The fourth True Lord looked up at the sky and said calmly.

This was the so-called 'a strong man can defeat ten skilled men'.

No matter how scheming or scheming you were, if you didn't have a good reason today, as he said, he wouldn't mind sending you away.

As such, all of your plans will fail.

Zhou Zhengli smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Milord, you've misunderstood me. In truth, it's not that I'm not doing my best. It's that your light is too dazzling, and I don't want to be burned by it …"

"Since Milord has asked about it today, this Zhou will talk about the errors. If there are any mistakes in my judgment, please correct me, Milord."

"In this battle between us and them, they should have been the passive ones. But now, we've become the passive ones. I believe that the main point of this matter is that we're not standing at the top."

"As for us, we were originally standing there, but in the scheme of that despicable person, we unknowingly stood on the same level as them.

"From this, it can be seen that the villains are vicious and impossible to guard against. After all, we walk the path of righteousness while they walk the path of evil. This is a principle that I only realized recently. After speaking with Milord today, I finally understood."

"On the other hand, we seem to have fewer people, but I think … we should be the ones with the most people.

“

"Everyone in the Immortal Palace, except for the outsiders, isn't … orderly?"

"They are characters from history. They do not know their future. They will also follow the trajectory of this time and space …. Isn't this order?"

"My Lord, I know that you actually understand all of this, but you insist that I say it out loud … You want me to bind my karma and think that I'm unwilling to follow you.

Sir, you've misunderstood me. Sir, this is what I've always dreamed of. It's just that Zhou Mou's thoughts are limited. I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake in my judgment and affect Sir's train of thought. "

Zhou Zhengli lowered his head and stopped talking.

The Fourth True Lord closed his eyes. After a long moment, he opened them, and they shone with a bright light as he looked at Zhou Zhengli.

"After this matter is over, you can come to the Star Ring Tower to find me when you return to the east."

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhou Zhengli bowed deeply as he watched the Fourth True Lord leave. He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Star Ring's strength lies in its own strength, while its weakness lies in its stubbornness and self-opinionation. With my help, the decisive battle that should have slowly heated up has finally begun. Don't disappoint me."

.....

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

A moment ago, the sky was clear and boundless, but in the next moment, with the sound of thunder, heavy rain poured down.

However, no matter how the rain fell on the lake of time and space in the immortal palace, it did not cause any ripples.

Following the chaos of the heavens and the approach of the day of duty, this space was almost completely frozen.

Xu Qing could clearly sense this through his own Space-time Constitution.

He understood that it would be more difficult than usual for him to deal with the internal turmoil.

This was not a sudden accident, but a natural development of history.

"I'm afraid that this is the opportunity that the Fourth True Lord has been waiting for."

Within Shaoji Palace, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the pitch-black sky that had suddenly turned into day. The falling rain quickly turned into frost.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The coldness also spread out, becoming a suppressive force. Soon, it transformed into a gust of wind that blew past, causing Xu Qing's long hair to flutter about.

In the wind, Xu Qing felt the unstoppable might of the torrent of history.

.....

The flood had arrived.

At the same time, there was also a small matter that caused a sensation in the entire Immortal Palace!

He said it was a small matter because this matter could be changed at any time with a single sentence. It was so small that it could be ignored and turned into a misunderstanding.

And the reason why such a small matter could cause a sensation in the Immortal Palace was because …

It was because the Fourth True Lord had spread the news.

He personally listed the suspicious points about Gongsun Qingmu, Li Tianjiao, the fox beauty, and Zhong Chi to the Law Enforcement Palace of the Immortal Palace, as well as his own judgment.

He believed that Gongsun Qingmu, the deacon of the Thunder Punishment Palace, wanted to betray the Immortal Palace and conspire against them.

The evidence was his disciple's jade slip. His origins and details all pointed to his master.

Therefore, the Fourth True Lord suspected that the betrayal of Gongsun Qingmu's disciples was arranged by this person!

As for the fox beauty, the Fourth True Lord had publicized her experience before she came to the Immortal Palace. She had also become Gongsun Qingmu's disciple. Although her goal was still unclear, the Fourth True Lord was certain.

This demoness' target was the Young Lord!

Therefore, she wanted to get close to the Young Master in order to prevent herself from being chased away. However, according to her trajectory, she clearly did not know Gongsun Qingmu, and was far from being accepted as a disciple.

All of this proved that she wanted to harm the Young Lord!

As for Li Tianjiao, he deliberately introduced the fox beauty to the Young Lord. Knowing that he would lose, he deliberately made the bet. His purpose was naturally to send the fox beauty to the Young Lord.

This was an accomplice!

As for Zhong Chi, although he had followed the Young Master for many years and had shown his loyalty, for some unknown reason, he had also plotted against the Young Master.

The evidence was that there was poison in his body, and it was his own doing!

No one would poison themselves. Therefore, the Fourth True Lord deduced that he was going to use his own poison to poison the Young Master with a secret technique.

The Fourth True Lord's list naturally shocked the entire Immortal Palace.

For a time, it attracted the attention of countless people.

This was also an open conspiracy.

He would unveil everything and let the entire Immortal Palace have their eyes on him.

Their gazes exposed everything under the scorching sun. In this way, if the Fourth True Lord really did appear, he would be immediately detected and suppressed.

Complete Order.

If he did not appear in the end, the Fourth True Lord would only need to apologize and everything would be resolved with a misunderstanding. The impact on history would also be extremely small.

After all, this did not affect the direction of history.

But to Xie Lingzi and the others, this matter could be said to be a direct and fierce stab of a sword that was difficult to resist and could not be stopped.

This was especially true of Fairy Spirit Phoenix, the daughter of the Nine Shores. She was the first one to pay attention to this matter. She used an unquestionable reason to openly oversee Young Aurora Palace.

Just like purging the emperor's subordinates, he chased the fox beauty away from Shaoji Palace. Zhong Chi had no choice but to withdraw to prove his innocence.

Before leaving, he bowed to the silent Xu Qing. As he thought back to everything that had happened recently, Zhong Chi's heart stirred. Looking at the Young Master in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a bit of reluctance.

This experience was unforgettable for him.

Therefore, after bowing, he decided to do something.

"Young Master, I had a strange dream yesterday …"

"I dreamt of your wedding with Young Madam a few days later."

"That wedding was very lively, and the entire Immortal Palace was filled with joy. However … when you and Young Madam were about to bow to heaven and earth, a catastrophe occurred."

"Heaven and Earth did not bow … The world has become blood-red."

With that, he clasped hands and bowed again, then left.

In the main hall, Xu Qing looked in the direction where Zhong Chi left with a dark glint in his eyes. He was naturally not surprised by the fourth True Lord's counterattack.

Because the conflict between Order and Change had decided their respective Daos, Xu Qing knew that the reason why he had won the previous few rounds was because he had concealed himself completely.

In this way, only by fighting in the dark could they win cleverly.

It caused the other party's attention to be placed on Xie Lingzi and the fox beauty.

However, this kind of secret victory was ultimately only a partial victory. It was unable to truly determine the outcome of the battle.

The development of history did not change much. It was just a minor detail.

As for the advantage, it had always been in the other party's hands. It was just that his previous actions had blurred his thoughts and caused him to forget about it. However, he would eventually recall it.

"What I've been waiting for is for you to take the initiative after you remember."

Xu Qing muttered.

He was playing a very big game of chess, a game of chess about how to set off a storm.

However, his own strength wasn't enough. Even if he added in his allies, it wouldn't be enough. He needed the Order Faction to participate as well.

Then it would become a force!

That was because any action taken by the Order Faction was actually a ripple. Although it was small, but … it was still a gust of wind!

"It's windy."

At this moment, the heavens in the outside world rumbled. Winds formed a storm that swept up dust and dust in all directions.

A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.

He wanted to borrow the wind to reach the heavens!
