Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1255 - 1254: The State Preceptor’s Fury
However.
When Bai Xiaolan just asked this question, she regretted it. If even the State Preceptor could be mistaken, then could there be a second person in the Elf Clan who could get it right?
This is almost an impossible thing.
Clearly Fang Yu is an elderly man, how could he have entered the Sixth Restriction beforehand?
It's too unbelievable.
Could it be...
Did he use some kind of violent means to forcibly break through these restrictions?
It must be like this.
At this moment.
Ji Yuanxing said, "I better go there myself..."
"Hmm!"
...
Meanwhile.
At the forest restriction entrance.
Quite a number of people were shocked by the dazzling and striking five lit Crystal Stones.
All previous astonishments and discussions were thoroughly proven wrong.
The scene was silent, instead waiting for the next Crystal Stone to light up.
The Elf King originally planned to leave early, but seeing the fifth Crystal Stone lit up, he changed his mind, deciding to stay and see if this anomaly could pass the Sixth Restriction.
If he could pass the Sixth Restriction, it would mean that this ordinary old man is mightier than the Elf King.
While everyone was staring unblinkingly at the stele outside the forest restriction—
Zhou Zhenchuan spoke from behind, "Your Majesty, I feel that there is something peculiar about this matter..."
"Speak."
The Elf King knew there was more to be said, so he gestured for him to continue.
Zhou Zhenchuan continued, "It's impossible for a common person to defeat a Full Saint Realm, and it's also impossible to bypass restrictions! I suspect there's some underhanded dealings involved."
"Underhanded dealings?"
"Yes... A few days ago, for the sake of protecting the Princess, my son specially dispatched a close guard. Unexpectedly, just as the guard got close to the Princess, he was killed! The guard's cultivation was at the Perfect Saint Realm!"
At these words, the Elf King's expression changed.
A cultivator of the Perfect Saint Realm is much more formidable than a Full Saint.
Full Saint, Daoist Saint, Void Saint, Perfect Saint...
A difference of as many as three major ranks!
Even a cultivator of the Perfect Saint Realm was instantly killed, this could no longer be attributed to luck!
The Elf King had not yet sent anyone to investigate the oddities because he suspected that the Princess had been assisting the old man from behind the scenes. The Princess was the prized disciple of the State Preceptor, his most favored disciple! In the years when the State Preceptor traveled the Northern Country, he acquired numerous treasures, so giving her one or two for self-defense was normal. Thus, the Elf King always thought that those treasures were the reason.
It's just that...
The Elf King never imagined that this ordinary old man could actually pass the Fifth Restriction.
Bai Yu Xian Yao couldn't possibly use five treasures to forcibly break the restrictions for him, right? Even if it was forced, such power should be enormous rather than as calm as it appeared now!
Thus...
General Zhou Zhenchuan's words sparked his suspicion.
"Continue... Speak plainly if you have something to say."
"Yes, Your Majesty! I have always thought that the Princess is still young, immature, a bit headstrong. She doesn't understand the treacherous hearts of humans in the outside world, so I instructed my son to send someone to protect the Princess. For this matter, I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
Zhou Zhenchuan, the old fox, spoke flawlessly, wanting to brush off the matter onto himself entirely.
After all, Zhou Zhenchuan was an important National Guardian General of the Elf Clan, holding significant military power. Even if the Elf King had objections, he couldn't possibly penalize him.
"General Zhou, you're overreacting, you had the Princess's best interests in mind! Continue speaking... I'm aware of this matter!"
"Thank you for Your Majesty's magnanimity!"
Zhou Zhenchuan hurriedly gestured to Zhou Yunsheng!
Amidst the crowd, Zhou Yunsheng, who was secretly investigating, immediately came forward, knelt down, and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did Zhou Zhenchuan say:
"In my opinion... it's absolutely impossible for a common person to accomplish these deeds, which means someone is helping this old man... In the territory of the current Elf Clan, very few could accomplish such feats!"
The implication of his words was clear.
The Elf King listened with a furrowed brow, his expression changed drastically... tilting his head, he saw that the Princess's presence was absent, stirring his heart with a shock, could it really be related to the State Preceptor?
At that moment, the crowd suddenly roared—
"State Preceptor!"
"State Preceptor!"
"State Preceptor!"
The State Preceptor had arrived!
Everyone present paid their respects!
It must be said, the State Preceptor's prestige was indeed extraordinary!
Clad in a gray robe, exuding an aura of immortality, his steps were steady and firm, not at all like someone entering his twilight years.
Bai Xiaolan followed closely by, occasionally supporting the State Preceptor.
The two of them resembled a grandfather and grandchild, smiling amiably, like a refreshing spring breeze.
Even if General Zhou held a high position, with substantial military power, he still had to concede before the State Preceptor!
"Greetings, State Preceptor..." Zhou Zhenchuan took the lead to pay respect.
Zhou Yunsheng dared not to be presumptuous, promptly following suit.
The other elders were no exception, all paid respect to Ji Yuanxing.
Ji Yuanxing slowly made his way through the crowd, directly approaching the Elf King.
He gave a slight bow, then stood upright.
The Elf King bowed to the State Preceptor, wearing an awkward smile, saying: "State Preceptor, what brings you here?"
Ji Yuanxing smiled faintly, saying:
"Isn't it my little rebellious disciple? Hearing her say someone is about to break my ten restrictions, for such a significant event, of course I have to come and see..."
"Xian Yao, why would you trouble the State Preceptor over such a trivial matter, how inappropriate!" The Elf King reprimanded.
Bai Xiaolan, unconcerned with such matters, fearless with her master's support.
Ji Yuanxing glanced at the elders and General Zhou, saying, "Your Majesty... although I'm old! But having people gossip about me behind my back, that's inappropriate!"
At these words.
The Elf King and Zhou Zhenchuan both were taken aback.
They were overheard?
Ji Yuanxing continued, "I've conducted myself with integrity and sincerity my entire life, assured I've never wronged my conscience... If I were to engage in any illicit dealings! Would I have waited until now?"
Thud!
Zhou Zhenchuan knelt down, perspiring heavily, cupping his hands in supplication:
"Forgive me, State Preceptor! I spoke out of turn... please pardon me, State Preceptor, I truly had no such intentions!"
Ji Yuanxing let out a cold snort, saying, "Such an 'out of turn'... Did you also lose your mind for considering it? Zhou Zhenchuan! How audacious you are!"
Zhou Zhenchuan turned pale with fright.
Immediately prostrating on the ground, his forehead touching the ground.
Zhou Yunsheng didn't dare to let out a breath, face down on the ground!
Surrounding spectators also looked on in amazement.
The State Preceptor, who seldom showed anger, was actually enraged today!
"While I was measuring the Northern Country, you were still feeding on milk in your swaddling clothes... I have assisted five Elf Kings, maintaining this vast land! If I harbored ulterior motives... would Your Majesty still be standing here safe and sound?"
Sss—
Everyone gasped with astonishment.
The elders widened their eyes too, finally comprehending what Zhou Zhenchuan's words meant, an attempt to sow discord between the Elf King and the State Preceptor.
But the problem is... that is simply impossible!
What kind of a person is the State Preceptor? If he intended to usurp the throne, he would have done so thousands of years ago, why wait until now, in his declining years, to act, that would truly be an imbecile. In history, at the peak of the State Preceptor's power, who could stand against him?
The Elf King promptly said: "State Preceptor, please quell your anger... General Zhou spoke out of turn, I implore your pardon! Only because today's person attempting to break the restriction is extremely mysterious!"
Ji Yuanxing stood with hands behind his back, saying, "I came specifically for this matter... Zhou Zhenchuan, put your matters aside for now. Watch closely..."
