Too much fruit

Chapter 782: Clearing the Court, Azure Dragon vs. Vermillion Bird
Time goes forward to the early morning.

The thunderstorm in the capital city had stopped, but the chilly air became even more severe, and even the weeds on the roadside outside the city were quietly showing signs of frost.

A pair of cloud boots stepped on the grass leaves, and the man in green clothes walked out a shallow path and walked all the way to the river at the end.

"At this moment, your Majesty still has the leisure to appreciate the scenery here?"

The man in green chuckled and spoke. His ordinary face revealed a temperament that was difficult to describe in words. His previous unrestrained style was gone, replaced by an invisible majesty.

This face represents the eldest son-in-law of the current dynasty, but this person is now the great master of the Demon God Cult.

The one who appeared here was the real body of the Great Lord.

Not far ahead, a figure as if carrying the blue sky stood quietly. Hearing the voice of the Great Master, he looked back. There was a faint sense of unreality on his perfect face, like a flower in a mirror or a moon in the water, which seemed to be changing all the time.

No matter where other people's eyes fall on this face, they can always see the front of this face.

"Because I'm waiting for the Great Master."

He said slowly and calmly, "The Great Venerable has indeed come. It seems that the power that the Great Venerable obtained from the heavens must be the power of heavenly knowledge."

“And the Lord of Heaven should understand the meaning of the creation of all things by heaven. This ‘Shape Tomb’ is only one step away from perfection.” The Great Master also told about the benefits the other party had gained from the heaven.

At that time, the Heavenly Monarch used the Sky Shooting Bow to pierce the sky, staining the sky with blood and wounding the sky, in order to seize the power of the sky, but was intercepted by Jiang Li and the Great Lord. In the end, the three of them each seized part of the power and retreated with serious injuries.

Jiang Li acquired the ability of deduction and made rapid progress in the art of making changes. He even integrated the three tombs and created the "Huangji Jingshi Shu".

The Great Venerable has the ability to peek into the past. He can directly look into the past through the magical power of Cosmic Light and has made new breakthroughs in perception.

As for Tianjun, his gains were also noticed by the Great Master at this moment, and he also realized that Tianjun had made another breakthrough in "Xingfen" with this, becoming the person with the highest "Xingfen" cultivation in the world.

Once he perfected the "Xingfen", he would have the ability to see from all directions as Huangdi. No matter from which direction you look at him, he would always be facing forward. He had already reached the most perfect state in terms of physical form, and could further perfect the "Yin Fu Jing".

The Great Lord and the Heavenly Sovereign, both of them have made great progress because of the Heaven. Now that they meet, it is unclear who is superior between the two.

"The great master has a keen eye."

The Heavenly Lord slowly turned around and faced the Great Lord, while his body shape also changed.

The raised sleeves seem to have no boundaries with the surrounding scenery, and with space as clothes, a small world is formed in the blink of an eye. It is clearly in front of you, but it seems to be everywhere.

"You want to trap me?" The Great Master raised his eyebrows slightly, showing an interested look.

Ever since he was promoted to the third rank and appeared out of nowhere, no one has been able to trap him.

When the Wushan Mountain was locked up before, it was not the Great Venerable who was trapped, but the Heavenly Sovereign who was locked up by the Great Venerable. If it weren't for that incident, the Heavenly Sovereign's plan would not have been destroyed.

Although the Emperor of Heaven had made countless hidden moves during these two hundred years, so that he always had a backup plan and had not been completely defeated, if possible, wouldn't the Emperor of Heaven want to succeed in one go?

As for being held back by Daojun later, it can only be said that Daojun’s magical powers were too shameless, so this time it doesn’t count.

"It's not that I want to trap you, but I want you to sit back and watch," Tianjun said calmly, "If you and I don't take any action, then just be spectators."

"Onlookers..."

The Great Master's pupils stretched into a vertical shape, and his gaze seemed to be looking towards an infinitely distant place rather than at the present moment.

"Well," he nodded, "just be a spectator."

In the eyes of the Great Master, he had already seen the backup plan that Jiang Li had arranged—a winged dragon flying in the clouds.

"It's her... She's really acting in front of me."

Wuzhiqi is fake, so what about the person who fought with Wuzhiqi in the middle lane before?
Now it seems that it is also fake.

······
······
Inside the divine capital, soldiers in armor are ready to go in the upper city area.

Meng Jun, holding a large flag, walked out of the mansion with the eldest prince. Looking up at the sky, he saw dark clouds gathering again, adding to the gloominess of the capital of gods.

But before Meng Jun could give the order, a violent fluctuation of energy was heard on the walls of the imperial city. A roar was heard, and then a fierce wind spread, like a strong wind passing through, and the trees along the way were shaking.

"Report!"

A scout came running over and shouted, "General, Jiang's men are attacking the imperial city."

"Jiang?"

Even though Meng Jun had already made preparations to deal with anything, he still looked surprised and doubtful at this moment.

No, the Jiang family is fine, why did they attack the imperial city? With so few people, how dare they attack the imperial city?
Without Jiang Li, the strongest among the Jiang clan was only a fifth-rank elder. If it weren't for the Dinghu Sect's Yuheng elder guarding the Jiang clan's land, and Meng Jun didn't want to cause trouble, he would definitely take over the Jiang clan's land first and sacrifice Jiang Sikong's clan members.

Just as Meng Jun was in doubt, a voice rang in his ears, "Isn't this just right? It gives you a reason to clear the court."

This is the voice of the King of Shu.

Meng Jun immediately connected the two. Jiang suddenly made such a stupid move, and the King of Shu seemed to have expected it. Maybe this was the work of the King of Shu.

Thinking of this, Meng Jun made up his mind.

Although he was wary of the King of Shu's planning and preparations, now that things had come to this, could Meng Jun really retreat?
If he wanted to retreat, it would depend on whether Jiang Sikong and the princess were willing to do so. They were all ruthless people. Before, he was not in a good situation to take action, and the fairy queen was supporting him from behind. Now, he didn't have so many concerns.

If Jiang Li wins in Yongzhou, he will definitely clean up the Meng family when he returns.

If he loses but comes back, in order to stabilize the situation, he must first remove the troublemaker and kill the chicken to scare the monkey. The Meng family is the monkey.

Therefore, we can only take the initiative.

Jiang Li has not returned yet, and the Imperial Academy's chief priest is now confronting Tu Bo, while he has himself holding a third-grade Taoist weapon, and the King of Shu as a secret supporter. This moment is the best opportunity. If you miss today, there will be no chance of reversal.

Meng Jun took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "All the generals, listen to my orders. There are rebels attacking the palace. Now follow me, the Grand Commandant, to support the king, to clear the emperor's side, and to suppress the rebels."

Those who were summoned here by Meng Jun were all his die-hard fans. Now they had a legitimate reason, so they all shouted in unison: "Yes, sir."

The soldiers marched in neat steps towards the imperial city, shouting along the way, "The Jiang family rebelled, the general suppressed the rebels," spreading the word to all directions and giving themselves the name of righteousness.

Meng Jun raised the Sky Desolate Blue Dragon Flag, and a blue dragon rose into the sky, carrying him and the eldest prince, and flew into the air towards the imperial city.

When they got close to the imperial city, they saw about a dozen people attacking the palace. They had already climbed up the city wall by using their Qi, but were blocked by the imperial guards on the city wall.

"That Jiang Sikong had long noticed something was wrong with his clan members, so he moved most of them to the Divine Capital and had the Jiang clan elders and Yu Heng of the Dinghu Sect keep a close watch on them, making it difficult for the older generation of the clan to enter and leave the clan freely. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the problem was never with the older generation."

Meng Jun heard a faint laugh again, and it was obvious that the King of Shu had also quietly followed.

Meng Jun was both frightened and apprehensive about what the King of Shu said. Jiang Li acted shrewdly and carefully, which made Meng Jun, an old fox, feel very difficult. However, he did not expect that Jiang Li would be careless and be tricked by others.

When Meng Jun heard that someone from the Jiang family had been persuaded to rebel, he immediately thought of those old guys. Having experienced officialdom and always thinking about their own interests, the old guys had no absolute loyalty in their hearts. It was difficult to persuade them to rebel, and it required paying enough interests. It was also very simple to persuade them to rebel, as long as they paid enough interests.

But the fact is that no one tried to instigate the old guys to rebel, but instead targeted the young people.

These young people were not shrewd enough, and most of them were loyal to Jiang Li because Jiang Li taught them the innate Qi. However, they were secretly instigated to rebel.

No, not just subversion.

Meng Jun discovered from his spiritual sense that most of the young men who attacked the palace looked fanatical and abnormal, and it was obvious that they had used some spiritual means.

This made the hidden chess pieces more secretive, and they might even have used secret methods to conceal the secrets, so that even Jiang Sikong, who was more cunning than an old fox, could not detect the truth.

Meng Jun even suspected that when Jiang Li first realized that someone in the Jiang family might be instigated to rebel, it was the King of Shu or someone behind the King of Shu who deliberately revealed the clues. Jiang Li thought that he just needed to respond, but he didn't expect that if the response was not in place, it would be better not to respond.

Who could have thought that the real target of this move was a dozen young people with low strength, and who could have thought that their role was not to become a cold knife stabbing Jiang Li, but to throw dirty water on the Jiang family.

It may seem not worth it to spend so much effort to make this arrangement, but it is worth it as long as it can play a role.

At least it was because Jiang Li didn't think of this that he failed to make an effective response.

As an old fox, Meng Jun had already figured out the cause and effect of this scene. Although he was shocked, he did not slow down. The green dragon soared into the sky, with no head or tail visible, and flew straight into the palace.

If in the past when the emperor was still alive, even a third-rank official would not have been able to fly over the palace wall. Unfortunately, the emperor is no longer here.

Therefore, Meng Jun wanted to bring back the emperor for the Great Zhou.

The Azure Dragon did not go to the Ziwei Palace, which served as the hub, but flew straight to the north gate, its destination being the place where the emperor was enthroned.

However, before the Azure Dragon could fly halfway, divine fire came from the sky, and the Vermillion Bird, bathing in fire, flew across the sky.

"Princess!"

Meng Jun's face became solemn, and he rolled up the Azure Dragon Flag. He saw a blue dragon circling in the sky, stirring up clouds. The blue clouds expanded outwards like a tide and collided with the oncoming divine fire.

"Boom!"

The air was rippling with waves and thunder was heard in the sky, which roared towards the divine fire. The thunder and fire collided with each other, making a deafening roar.

The fifth-grade Dao fruit that Meng Jun received was the Jishuibao among the seven stars of Azure Dragon, located at the tail of Azure Dragon, governing water and belonging to wind. The fourth-grade Dao fruit was the Mude Star Lord among the Five Qi True Lords, governing mountains, forests, plants, dragons, snakes, wind and thunder.

Using water to create wood, this old man Meng Jun is obviously preparing to advance to the Qinglong Dao Fruit.

The eldest princess is purely a fire element, with a fifth-grade Fire Palace Star, a fourth-grade Fire Virtue Star Lord, and the next three grades are the Southern Vermillion Bird.

Wood can make fire, so the eldest princess had the upper hand. However, it was spring, when the wood virtue was at its peak. Meng Jun transformed the wood virtue into wind and thunder to counter the divine fire. As the two sides clashed—

Qinglong paused!
Surprisingly, the eldest princess is slightly better.

It is clear that the Grand Marshal is in charge of military affairs, but in terms of strength, Grand Marshal Meng Jun is inferior in a head-on confrontation.

Meng Jun's face was solemn. He suppressed the rising and falling true energy. He was already clear about the gap between the two sides.

I've heard that the eldest princess has already started working on her promotion, and this fight proves that the rumors are true.

In terms of talent and talent, the princess can be compared with Tianxuan, but Tianxuan later left her behind because he got the Dao fruit. And in terms of practice time...

Don't be fooled by the fact that one is as beautiful as a flower and the other is very old. In fact, in terms of age, Meng Jun is only a dozen years older than the eldest princess, and they can be said to be from the same generation.

With this thought in mind, the old man gathered his true energy, and became full of vitality. His white hair turned black, and his old figure became sturdy. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"The old fellow is really hiding his clumsiness. He is clearly practicing the Wood Element Method and following the Way of Azure Dragon. How could he be so old at the age of a hundred?"

A cold snort came from the Vermillion Bird's divine form, and then the Vermillion Bird flapped its wings, burning the heaven and earth with fire.

The shape of the Vermillion Bird was obviously created by the eldest princess, and it was not like the Azure Dragon, which was formed by the Dao Fruit and Qi. The eldest princess opened another phase on the Form Tomb, studied the Vermillion Bird Dao Fruit, and cultivated the Vermillion Bird Phase. This was where she surpassed Meng Jun.

The Vermillion Bird's divine fire covered the sky and earth, turning the heaven and earth into a sea of ​​fire, but it did not harm anything else, and the palaces and pavilions below were all intact.

As the wings fluttered, a sea of ​​fire in the sky swept towards the Azure Dragon.

"Spring is coming to all trees."

Meng Jun, who had restored the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, immediately raised the flag of the Azure Dragon in the Sky. The Azure Dragon swung its tail and used it as a spear, shooting out thousands of green wooden spiritual lights, which used their sharp force to break the divine fire.

"boom!"

The power of thousands of green wooden spears broke through the divine fire in front, and a green dragon flew through the sky and rushed forward. On the dragon's head, Meng Jun held the Sky Desolate Green Dragon Flag, rolled up the flag, used the flag as a spear, and attacked from the sky.

"Blue Dragon's Claw."

The human body and the Azure Dragon are as one. The flagpole is struck horizontally by the wind and thunder, and the Azure Dragon roars with the wind and thunder and strikes the sky.

Faced with such an attack, the eldest princess who had transformed into the form of the Vermillion Bird naturally did not dare to be careless. The Vermillion Bird folded its wings towards the center, as if embracing a big star, and a scarlet star appeared.

"Mars guards the heart."

The star of fire is the ruler of fire, and corresponds to the star Mars. It is both the ruler of life and the ruler of war and killing.

When the stars appeared, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and a large red star appeared. The Vermillion Bird spread its wings, and the large star moved sideways and hit the Azure Dragon. Immediately, the star shook and the dragon roared, and a huge wave swept across the sky.

The two collided, the wind and thunder shook the divine fire, and the sweeping storm caused the palace below to collapse rapidly, and all the buildings turned to dust.

In other words, the Divine Capital is located on nine earth veins, and the Imperial City is the point where the earth veins intersect. Otherwise, the aftermath would not have stopped there.

"Death!"

The eldest princess shouted loudly, and a red jade seal appeared on the Vermillion Bird, with mighty divine power and imperial power surging in.

It's a Taoist weapon!
Meng Jun has been holding the Sky Desolate Azure Dragon Flag all the time, but the eldest princess has not used the third-grade Taoist artifact that carries the Suzaku Taoist Fruit.

The big star gained power and its might increased. Its divine fire actually burned the wind and thunder. The Vermilion Bird spread its wings and flew into the air. Its wings slashed across like knives and swords, cutting the wind and thunder. It pressed down with its sharp claws and flames covered it like a sky curtain.

Meng Jun immediately moved the Azure Dragon Flag again, and the azure spiritual light rose up like a mountain, but was forcibly shattered by the flames. The sharp claws were about to capture and kill Meng Jun along with the Azure Dragon's head.

However, a dragon claw appeared out of nowhere, and a heavy aura condensed like a mountain. One claw pushed forward and slammed towards Suzaku's body.

But at the same time, there was a violent storm and thunder in the sky, a golden dragon leaped out from the dark clouds, and all kinds of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and all kinds of strange phenomena came down.
