Xiao Ziyu happily practiced in seclusion on an isolated island.
But others were not so happy.
For example, Yan Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Jing Haijun, was not so happy. He lost forty-nine of Jing Haijun's top combat blood shark guards in one night. These blood shark guards were built with great difficulty under his command, Yan Zhen.
As a result, so much was lost, and there was even a leader of the Blood Shark Guard who was in the innate realm, which made it even more heartbreaking.
In addition, what made Yan Zhen's heart break was the five Split Whale Death Soldiers. These were his Yan Zhen's private soldiers, whom his Yan family had cultivated with great difficulty.
Everyone is a strong person in the innate realm. The Yan family is not a century-old or even a thousand-year-old family. Being able to cultivate strong people in the innate realm is to the best of their abilities.
But Yan Zhen still couldn't accept the loss of this night. The hatred in his heart for Butler Wu was as deep as the abyss of the valley.
But unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. First of all, the opponent's strength, Wu Sheng, was beyond what the Yan family could deal with.
What's more important is that the person standing behind him is Wu Wenhou of Daqian, the most famous peak martial saint in the world.
On the surface, there are only two peak martial saints in Daqian, one is the emperor's uncle, King Shenwei, and the other is Hong Xuanji.
What's more important is that Hong Xuanji was at the peak of martial arts 20 years ago, and Hong Xuanji is the most trusted person by the current emperor.
Therefore, regardless of his personal strength or the power of the court, Yan Zhen has no way at all, not even his father can do it.
He could only swallow the broken tooth in his stomach.
However, Yan Zhen soon recovered. The person was already dead, and it was useless for him to worry about it anymore. He had to deal with the next reality.
Especially about the mysterious man who appeared at the end.
"Old Duan, do you think that person really has the strength of a peak martial saint?"
Yan Zhen still couldn't believe it. Yan Zhen had never seen the strength of the peak martial saint, but he knew his intimidating power.
You must know that Daqian Ming is just two peak martial saints.
People with such strength can be said to be rarer than the powerful ones from Thunder Tribulation. Therefore, Yan Zhen still couldn't believe Xiao Ziyu's strength.
After all, no one would believe that he could meet a peak martial saint so casually.
"Commander, my old Duan has never deceived you. That man's strength is definitely that of a peak martial saint. Didn't you see that man just stretched out his right hand and blocked it easily? The old man's full strength one strike"
"That old guy is a Martial Saint after all. Even though he is a junior Martial Saint, he can do it so easily. One can imagine his strength."
"What's more important is that I didn't see him make any moves after that, and he severely injured that old guy. I'm sure he is a peak martial saint with such strength."
"And Commander, from his tone, I can tell that this person has no scruples about Hong Xuanji at all. Think about it, what kind of strength is Hong Xuanji? This guy doesn't have any scruples at all when talking about Hong Xuanji. There was no trace of fear in his eyes."
"If he didn't have the corresponding strength, would he have that demeanor and tone?"
Mr. Duan Da talked a lot, but in short, he meant one thing, that is, the mysterious man who appeared tonight, Xiao Ziyu, has the strength of a peak martial saint.
"Well! This person really has the strength of a peak martial saint, so what is his relationship with Hong Yi like?"
Looking at the solemn expression on Mr. Duan Da's face, Yan Zhen also knew that the other party would not lie, so he had to think carefully.
"Commander, I see that Hong Yi has a close relationship with this person. I even guess that behind Hong Yi is not only Taishang Dao, but also the support of this person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to grow in less than a year.
, just cultivate the realm of innate greatness."
Mr. Duan Da expressed his guess.
"If this is the case, then our attitude towards Hong Yi should change."
Of course, Yan Zhen also investigated Hong Yi. It was difficult for him to investigate Taoist training, but they knew about martial arts. Hong Yi didn't even have a year to practice martial arts.
Yan Zhen would not believe that he could reach this level in such a short period of time if he was supported by others behind him.
For example, his private soldier, the Split Whale Death Soldier, was trained by his Yan family at great cost, and it took a full ten years.
However, Hong Yi can cultivate to the great level of Xiantian in less than a year, so it is natural that this mysterious peak martial saint is the person behind him.
"It seems that Hong Yi is also extraordinary. With the support of Taishang Dao and this peak martial saint, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Yan Zhen's eyes narrowed with a hint of jealousy.
Although his background is no worse than Hong Yi's, his chances are much worse than Hong Yi's. Even now, his power and strength are slightly stronger than Hong Yi's.
But he knew that Hong Yi would definitely surpass him in the future.
Because Hong Yi was promoted to the Supreme Taoist and the Peak Martial Saint.
Yan Zhen knew very well what kind of strength Taishangdao had. Even their emperor, who was a talented and resourceful emperor, was extremely afraid of Taishangdao's Meng Shen Ji.
Yan Zhen also knew that the deaths of Taizong and Gaozong were definitely caused by the Meng Shenji. As a Supreme Taoist with thousands of years of foundation, he was really too powerful.
With the support of Taishangdao, how could he, Hong Yi, not be 'prosperous'? What's more, there is also a peak martial saint whose strength is not weaker than Hong Xuanji.
To be honest, Yan Zhen was really envious of Hong Yi at this moment, even though he guessed that Hong Yi might just be their pawn.
But Yan Zhen also wanted to be such a chess piece. After all, most people are not qualified for such a 'chess piece'.
"Old Duan, you said that Hong Yi supports Prince Jade, then tell me whether this mysterious peak martial saint is the one whom Prince Jade has won over?"
Suddenly Yan Zhen asked.
"Probably not!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Duan Da shook his head hesitantly.
What kind of strength is the peak martial saint? If it is Yang Pan, the leader of Daqian, he may be able to win over him, but Prince Jade is just a prince. What does he have that makes him worthy of being followed by the peak martial saint?
Even if he is an ordinary martial saint, it would be good if Prince Jade can win him over.
Mr. Duan Da is sure that this mysterious peak martial saint is definitely not the person behind Prince Jade.
If so, it would be the prince, and even the prince does not have such ability. After all, peak martial saints are too rare.
If he were the pinnacle martial saint, even Yang Pan would be willing to give up his position as the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses to win over him, so why should he hang around with those princes or princes?
"Yes, but since he is not Prince Jade's, he has a close relationship with Hong Yi, and Hong Yi supports Prince Jade. In any case, Prince Jade's side should also be greatly strengthened."
"Old Duan, do you think I should ask him..."
Before the word 'get closer' could be said, Mr. Duan Da interrupted him, "Commander, it's still too early to make a decision now."
"Although this person has a close relationship with Hong Yi, it is obvious that he looks down on Prince Jade, so Commander, you don't need to go to Prince Jade for the time being."
"Besides, the Crown Prince's position is very stable now. Prince Jade is just a tool used by the Emperor to check and balance the Crown Prince."
"It has nothing to do with character, means and strength. The prince is much better than Prince He and Prince Jade."
Mr. Duan Da doesn't like Prince Jade, and he doesn't like him either. Even with Hong Yi's help, it's of no use.
"Yeah! Yes, my father told me to be moderate, but now is the time to make a choice." Yan Zhen thought about it and nodded.
