Chapter 948: Chapter 948

Under the night sky, Xu Zhenguan spoke with majestic grace: "There’s no time to explain, I ask the Heavenly Master to act and resolve his soul body hazard."

Just as expected, when you two show up, nothing good comes of it... Zhang Yan Yi silently complained in his heart, stepped a few paces closer, and glanced at Zhao Douan.

Underneath graying eyebrows, golden light surged from his eye sockets.

At that moment, Zhao Douan shivered, as if the entire world was suppressing him, or as if he was being gazed upon by the Heavenly Dao God from the void.

In a brief moment, Zhang Yan Yi raised an eyebrow and said in surprise: "Soul-breaking Blade injury... Has this Suppressing Object returned to the Martial World?"

"Soul-breaking Blade?" Zhao Douan and the Empress asked in unison.

As a Border Army General, Zhao Shixiong’s intelligence was naturally recorded in the court, but in the information, his weapon was not called by this name. Clearly, Zhao Shixiong had concealed the actual situation of his weapon, which was unsurprising since as a border-stationed general, hiding some trump cards was not unusual.

Zhang Yan Yi nodded slightly and said: "An old object from six hundred years ago. Heh, in that era, many weapons had several Suppressing Objects smelted into them during crafting, which allowed martial artists to occasionally use Magic. However, most Suppressing Objects require a Magician to activate, thus such weapons are rare... The Soul-breaking Blade, luckily, is recorded in the Heavenly Master Mansion. It can, within a certain hour, reflect scenes that have occurred in a particular region. If used against an enemy, during slaughter, it can implant a ’Soul Seal’ on the enemy, which is the red scar on you. As long as you are not too far from the bearer of the blade, your soul body will be bound under the blade... Did Little Zhao encounter this on the frontline and yet managed to escape back to the Capital over thousands of miles? How interesting..."

The Old Heavenly Master clicked his tongue in wonder.

Zhao Douan sighed: "Just tell me if it can be cured."

Zhang Yan Yi smiled and replied: "It’s a piece of cake."

He nonchalantly waved his hand, and the great banyan tree overhead rustled, its bright leaves gently falling, swirling around Zhao Douan.

Explosions sounded from within Zhao Douan, the lingering crimson Soul Seal shattered piece by piece, dissipating in about the span of a few breaths.

And those banyan leaves turned scarlet, dimmed without shine, and fell to the ground.

"It’s erased, now you can return without being targeted." Zhang Yan Yi smiled with hands behind his back.

Every profession has its expertise, in the field of Magic, there’s nothing on earth this old man cannot solve.

The Empress breathed a sigh of relief, her icy, stern countenance softened, she nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Heavenly Master, for your help."

Old Zhang is worth the trouble, the previous freeloading cancels out... Zhao Douan felt his soul body gradually stabilizing, breathing a sigh of relief. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

Zhang Yan Yi asked: "No need for thanks, but how did Little Zhao manage to appear in the Capital? Could you tell this old man?"

Zhao Douan looked at Xu Zhenguan, the Empress thought for a moment, then candidly explained the situation, without specifics, only mentioning it related to "Human World."

"Does it truly have such marvelous use?" Zhang Yan Yi’s eyes showed surprise, "No wonder Qingshan Martial Immortal craves the Royal Family’s inheritance."

As a strong figure within the Magician lineage, neither Zhang Yan Yi nor Xuan Yin cared much for the Martial God Inheritance.

But Wu Xiankui, being part of the martial lineage, was different.

When mentioning Qingshan Martial Immortal, who participated in the "Luoshan Sealing," neither the monarch nor the minister spoke, but they clearly remembered this account in their hearts.

If it weren’t for the current rebellion of the Six Road Vassal Kings being a top priority, Xu Zhenguan would already have personally headed to the East Sea Green Mountain to respond.

Zhang Yan Yi glanced at Zhao Douan and suddenly said: "Your Divine Soul travels between two places, but without a body, it’s ultimately inconvenient. My unworthy disciple Gongshu excels in this path, perhaps he could create a convenient body for you to store."

Gongshu Tian Yuan... Zhao Douan subconsciously felt a bit uneasy, that fellow’s creations often had unruly outcomes... Nevertheless, Little Fatty’s craftsmanship is reliable. Having a body would at least allow him to return home and converse normally with his aunt and sister, without playing the ghost to scare people...

"Then I thank you, Heavenly Master." Zhao Douan cupped his hands.

Zhang Yan Yi chuckled: "No need for thanks, today’s consultation fee along with the body-making bill will be noted down, to be paid later."

He suddenly understood whose personality Jin Jian’s money-grubber mannerism followed!

Eunuch Hai anxiously waited for a while, looking up to see a streak of golden light shooting through the night sky.

The Empress and Zhao Douan returned, the latter no longer bearing the fresh red scar.

"Eunuch Hai, you may return, there is no issue here, I have words with Mr. Zhao." The Empress calmly spoke.

The Python Robed Old Eunuch bowed and left.

Having confirmed that Zhao Shixiong’s Soul-breaking Blade can no longer lock onto the body, and that he can return anytime, both the monarch and minister felt much more at ease.

Especially Zhao Douan, relying on the obscure connection with his body, he confirmed that his physical self should be safe.

Therefore, he decided to delay a little while to briefly describe the events on the front line.

This way, even if he encounters danger after returning, the court will at least know what happened and make the proper response.

"What exactly happened? Didn’t I tell you to avoid confronting Zhao Shixiong? Did he target you?"

The room door closed.

When only the monarch and minister were left inside, the orange glow from the lamp shone on the Empress’s stunning face, her gaze was a mix of reproach and worry.

Zhao Douan quickly explained: "I did not take any risks, only unexpected events occurred. The situation is ..."

Due to time constraints, he used precise words to describe the few things he did after infiltrating Yongjia City.
