Before anyone could react, a woman with a beautiful and refined appearance appeared in the dark and damp prison.
She was like the first glimmer of moonlight, or like the clear sky after a snowfall, her beauty untouched by the dust of the world.
He wore a plain-colored robe that moved without wind, its flowing fabric making everything else in the room pale in comparison.
Dai Zui's eyes widened in astonishment, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"
Jun Youlan finally showed a look of astonishment, her mouth agape, and it took her a while to realize her lapse in composure.
He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"
The civil officials looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected that two Saint Realm experts would appear in this small prison in the blink of an eye!
These people were unlike the commander of the Imperial Guards or the Minister of Rites; they immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings—"
"The Grand Preceptor of the Qianlong Empire!"
The Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty, Mu Zhilian, the head of the Taixu Sect, raised an eyebrow and glanced around.
He said coldly, "Is this how you conduct trials?"
With a single sentence, devoid of any divine authority or spiritual power, he overwhelmed everyone, leaving them breathless.
Dai was speechless with drunkenness: "This..."
The Taixu Sect has a history of merit, having helped the founding emperor sever the dragon vein five thousand years ago, suppress the nation's destiny, and seize vast lands in the Central Region.
In return for this kindness, emperors of all dynasties paid homage to the head of the Taixu Sect and honored it as the state religion.
The leader of the Taixu Sect was very clever and never used his position to seek more benefits.
Maintaining a respectful distance without affecting the administration, both sides coexisted harmoniously.
The Great Qian Dynasty sent its top talents to the Taixu Sect, and powerful figures emerged in every generation.
Cultivators from the Taixu Sect can also enter various parts of the Great Qian Dynasty, either to guard a region or to expand territory.
The current leader of the Taixu Sect is the strongest in a thousand years, easily reaching the Saint Realm and becoming a pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Such a powerful entity obeys orders but not summons; even the emperor can only seek its help rather than issue direct commands.
Compared to Luo Hanjiang, a member of the Daqian clan, he was more independent and held a more transcendent position.
Even if Dai Zui had a thousand lives, he wouldn't dare to be an enemy of such a saint.
Jun Youlan looked at Mu Zhilian, and was also a little confused for a moment.
This Marquis of Zhenyuan's child actually knows the Imperial Advisor?
Where does he get so much energy?
How could I not have known about such a thing?
Marquis Zhenyuan's military achievements are commendable, but compared to the entire Daqian Dynasty, they are not considered top-tier.
How could such a mid-level general be on such good terms with the sage that he would personally visit him in prison?
"country……"
puff!
Just as Jun Youlan was about to speak, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My lord!" Xiao Erke quickly stepped forward to help him up, patting his back to soothe him.
I made a bad impression earlier, now's the perfect time to salvage it.
Jun Youlan gritted his teeth; if it weren't for the presence of the sage, he would have definitely cursed and vented his anger.
He just issued a decree that communication cannot be transmitted over long distances from here, thus cutting off the academy's idle chatter.
Unexpectedly, he had forgotten this detail, and his words backfired, causing him to vomit blood on the spot.
Jun Youlan could only use a faint magic command to ask, "Has this Su Yun ever joined the Taixu Sect?"
Xiao Erke quickly shook his head: "No! He wasn't even in the top twenty in the assessment!"
He had heard Chi Yanyun mention that Su Yun had failed to become a disciple of the Taixu Sect.
The chief official at the time was a member of the imperial family, someone who had absolutely no connection to him.
Jun Youlan understood immediately; it seemed the Imperial Advisor hadn't come to help.
He smiled slightly: "Grand Preceptor, His Majesty has already ordered a thorough investigation of this heinous criminal."
"I will spare no effort to ensure that no innocent person is wronged and no wicked person is let off the hook!"
Dai Zui was startled, and then realized that there was this other layer.
He cast an admiring glance his way; no wonder he was the Minister of Rites, his thinking was so clear.
How could this child possibly know so many sages? The Imperial Preceptor must have come here to inquire about the progress on behalf of the Emperor.
With a sage backing him up, Luo Hanjiang's pressure immediately decreased.
Dai Zui, now confident, patted his chest and assured, "Rest assured, Imperial Advisor, this boy's crimes are heinous and beyond description."
"But we will do everything in our power to thoroughly investigate this case!"
Mu Zhilian glanced at him a few more times, but didn't say anything, only gently waving her soft hand.
Swish swish!
Tables and chairs carved from golden nanmu wood; bedding and clothing woven from jade silkworm silk; silver platters whose dishes change with each time the lid is lifted...
Countless exquisite pieces of furniture, utensils, fine wines, and delicacies appeared in the dark and damp prison.
Dai Zui was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy: "Thank you for the reward, Imperial Preceptor!"
"Brothers, the Imperial Advisor has come to reward us!"
I never expected that the Imperial Advisor, whom I rarely meet, would be so generous.
Every single item here is worth a fortune.
Such a grand mobilization, sending a sage to reward the judges.
The Emperor must take this matter very seriously!
Xiao Erke also showed a look of joy: "Teacher, it's all set!"
Jun Youlan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had made the right bet.
The emperor did indeed intend to consolidate power, and sent a sage to counter the enemy sage.
He stroked his beard and chuckled, "Since the Imperial Advisor has bestowed a reward, let's all work overtime tonight and extend the interrogation a bit longer!"
The officials relaxed, expressed their gratitude profusely, and were about to get up.
Mu Zhilian took only one step forward, and the prison door swung open with a bang.
She looked down at him, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized something was amiss.
He squatted down again, bringing his eyes level with Su Yun's, before speaking: "I generally don't concern myself with matters of the imperial court."
"But I have to get involved in your affairs."
"No matter what Emperor Qian wants, if he wants to kill you, I will do it."
Su Yun nodded: "Mm."
Mu Zhilian took out a book: "You can't neglect your cultivation here. This is my new insight. Please read it."
She has already reached the Great Sage level, and her strength is among the top in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
There have been some gains during this period, and things are taking shape towards becoming a semi-emperor.
The insights and reflections he has written are already comparable to the Taixu Sect's most treasured artifact—the Taixu Creation Scripture.
A cultivator cannot rely on a single technique for eternity; each realm has its strongest and most suitable technique.
Lay a solid foundation at every level, until it is as firm as steel and unshakeable.
With a solid foundation, the road ahead will be unobstructed.
Those who encounter bottlenecks at every level either lack talent or haven't laid a solid foundation in their cultivation.
Only a very few people, like Su Yun, have such profound realms that they need to absorb and understand the Great Dao in order to advance further.
Therefore, Su Yun also needs more cultivation techniques, and he would never think he needs too few.
He flipped through it a couple of times and then returned the book.
Mu Zhilian asked in confusion, "What, it's not suitable?"
Su Yun shook her head: "Suitable."
We're not at the stage where Great Emperors are as common as dogs yet. My cultivation level is still low, and I still need a lot of high-quality cultivation techniques.
He had learned all the top-grade cultivation techniques from the Taixu Sect, so how could he possibly not want this cultivation technique written by a half-emperor?
Mu Zhilian, holding the booklet, said, "Then why don't you want it?"
Su Yun said, "I've already learned it."
Mu Zhilian: "..."
She almost forgot that this child's comprehension was truly extraordinary!
He learned the technique he had painstakingly created after just a couple of flips!
