The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1223 - 652: This Time, You Can’t Escape
He snorted, exerted force with his palm, and directly crushed the strange Suppressing Object left behind by Qi Country into powder.
Then, the character "卍" lit up on his forehead, and illusionary chains quickly bound Xu Jianwen, simultaneously activating the "Sealing Demon Spell," sealing off Xu Jianwen’s hearing, vision, touch...
Completely stripping him of any ability to resist.
Like a dead piece of wood, he lay rigidly on the ground.
Only at this moment did Zhao Douan finally exhale a breath, and he quickly crouched down to finish searching Xu Jianwen’s body before sitting down heavily, raising his hand to grasp, lifting the "Void Illusion Realm," holding the silver scroll in his hand.
Earlier, he had hidden in the stream using the Mystic Turtle Seal and tricked Xu Jianwen out of his last resort with the Illusion Realm.
"Hooo... Hooo..."
Zhao Douan breathed lightly, looking at Xu Jianwen on the ground, feeling a bit dazed.
He had finally caught the mastermind who orchestrated the "Xuanmen Coup."
Also, the true culprit behind the first desperate situation he encountered since his arrival.
The true master of Kuangfu Society.
Zhao Douan suddenly looked into the distance, seeing Tuoba Weizhi rushing over. Upon confirming his safety, the black-haired, black-eyed priestess girl silently breathed a sigh of relief: "Master..."
Zhao Douan waved his hand, indicating he wanted to rest for a while and preferred not to talk.
Thus, the master and servant quietly waited in the woods for a good while.
Finally, a ripple of moonlight spread, and Yu Xiu, Han Zhao, and Jin Jian emerged from the illusory moon.
Seeing the scene in the forest, they all froze for a moment.
"Is he dead?" Yu Xiu instinctively asked.
Zhao Douan shook his head and replied: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Not dead, just his senses sealed. I said, capture alive if possible, even if there’s a need to kill, it should be done in the Capital."
Xu Jianwen’s identity was too special, and he wanted to hand over the disposal rights to Xu Zhen.
"Oh." Yu Xiu didn’t care much, and Jin Jian was even less concerned.
Instead, Zhao Douan curiously asked:
"Why did you all follow along? Aren’t you supposed to be overseeing the city?"
Han Zhao chuckled and said:
"With Master present, why do we need to do anything? Besides, Zhao Shixiong is staying there too."
Indeed... Zhao Douan smiled, spat, and laughed:
"This time, the Heavenly Master broke the rule and killed Po Yun. The strongest fighter and leader of the Liao Clan’s army are gone; the remaining Liao people are no longer a concern."
Yu Xiu glanced at him and suddenly said:
"Don’t expect the Master to kill all the Liao people in one breath.
Today’s intervention by the Master, killing Po Yun and Qi Yuchun, interfering in the Imperial Family’s civil war, has already damaged the Heavenly Dao cultivation. If more slaughter occurs, the karmic consequences of those Liao Clan deaths will fall on my Master’s shoulders, unbearable even for a Heavenly Human."
Is it that mystical?
Zhao Douan was somewhat surprised, but the cultivation system of these magicians indeed seemed bizarre enough to be terrifying.
Especially those cultivating the Heavenly Dao; despite their formidable strength, the constraints seemed extremely stringent.
Can’t understand... Can’t understand...
He shook his head:
"Don’t worry, I’m not that reckless. As long as the Southwest situation is stabilized, it’s enough. I have no intention of forging an eternal blood feud with the Liao Clan."
That’s good... Yu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, she remembered the half-asked question from before:
"By the way, how did you know the Master would..."
Zhao Douan chuckled, glanced at Han Zhao, and said:
"Thanks to Brother Han."
Han Zhao also smiled and explained:
"It’s nothing. Yesterday, Brother Zhao asked me to use the Windflower, to send a wide-ranging message using the wind... inviting the Master over."
Is it like this? Yu Xiu and Jin Jian both paused in astonishment.
"Let’s go back." Zhao Douan rested enough, picked up Xu Jianwen and stood up, his gaze looking back at the Border City.
He still needed to return for the aftermath, then head back to the Capital as soon as possible to inform the Empress about everything that happened in La Garden, along with the Second Prince in hand.
