Chapter 235 The Cautious Prince
In the Northern Divine City, there is panic and people are worried.

The departure of the ancient creatures did not make them feel the arrival of peace. Instead, they felt as if a storm was about to come.

Many people were afraid of being implicated in the upcoming war, so they quietly left the city of gods.

At the same time, all kinds of rumors were flying around in the Divine City, but most of the news tended to blame the person who had brought the ancient creatures here.

This made the four Meng Zhang sisters very angry.

"Big sister, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must restore our master's reputation. There are so many news slandering our master in the city. Someone must be secretly fanning the flames."

Looking at the various pieces of information they had collected, Xia Li and Dong Qing were very angry, and even suggested using thundering means to teach those who spread the rumors a lesson.

"Third sister, fourth sister, the two of you sit down. Don't forget the master's instructions before he left." The eldest brother Meng Zhang said in a stern tone.

"Today's speculations are all groundless. If we come forward to clarify, not only will we not be able to help the master, but we will harm the master instead. Now they are making all kinds of speculations, but they don't know the existence of the master, so they have no target to attack secretly. But once they know that those ancient creatures are looking for the master, I'm afraid they will change their faces immediately. They may even portray the master as the person who provoked the anger of the ancient creatures. During this period of time, haven't you seen the faces of those monks?" Hongye said.

"Okay, let's not do anything unnecessary at this time. Let's wait for the master to come back and see the outcome." Meng Zhang said.

The four sisters continued to collect information in the Divine City, while Li Zhi had already led those ancient creatures to an uninhabited area 80,000 miles away.

It was a valley surrounded by bare mountains. No cultivators had passed by here for thousands of years, but today it seemed particularly lively because of Li Zhi's arrival.

The group of ancient creatures surrounded Li Zhi with murderous intent, and anger appeared on the face of each ancient creature.

After being led astray all the way, they couldn't help but get angry.

The emperor's son ordered Li Zhi to be beheaded, but in their opinion, it was still too light a punishment.

They must extract Li Zhi's soul and refine his spirit in order to relieve the anger in their hearts.

Ever since Poyuan was born, no one has dared to treat them like this.

I get angry when I see Li Zhifeng's nonchalant look.

However, Li Zhi, who was surrounded by the group of ancient creatures, seemed not to feel the murderous intent of those ancient creatures. He looked at them calmly and seemed not to take them seriously.

"Why didn't the Prince of Heaven come to see me in person? Is he afraid?" Seeing that those ancient creatures were about to take action, Li Zhi spoke first.

Such a casual tone and contempt for the Emperor's son made the ancient creatures feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone seemed to want to tear Li Zhi to pieces.

"Master Changshou, you killed all of my eight generals in the Central Region and committed a heinous crime. The Son of God has ordered..." The ancient creature with six pairs of wings shouted, but before he could finish, Li Zhi waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Wait a minute, there is no need to waste your breath on these old-fashioned rhetoric. I don't want to hear this nonsense. Since your prince dared to send you to kill me, I wonder if he has ever thought about the situation where you all can't beat me together. If I kill you all, will your prince be sad about your death?"

Li Zhi directly used his magical power of speech, as if to arouse the resentment of those ancient creatures towards the Prince of Heaven. After some very persuasive words, those ancient creatures really remembered their dead companions.

Their deaths did not cause any emotion in the Emperor's mind. Instead, he kept talking about the two sacred objects that were snatched away by Li Zhi.

Seeing that the murderous aura of the subordinates of the Heavenly Prince suddenly dissipated, Li Zhi continued, "In fact, there is no need for us to fight to the death. What did your ancestors get from working for the Immortal Heavenly Emperor? Since you have come to the afterlife, why don't you live for yourself? Do you have to follow that Heavenly Prince? Or are you born to be someone else's slaves? In the ancient times, because of the suppression of the various hierarchical orders between the ancient times, you had to bow to those royal families, but now it is not the ancient times. Do you still want to continue to be slaves in the eyes of those ancient royal families? Everyone, why don't you follow the example of our human race? Look at the various tribes of our human race. Is there any cultivator who would degenerate and regard the descendants of the great emperor as their master? Are you sealed to the afterlife just to continue to suffer the hardships you suffered in the ancient times? Have you never thought about independence?"

Li Zhi's misleading words directly caused some ancient creatures to waver in their thoughts and begin to reflect on their actions.

Just as Li Zhi said, we are all living beings in the world. Why should we obey the orders of the Emperor's son? Is it just because he is the son of the Immortal Emperor?
But the Immortal Emperor had already passed away, so why should they follow the so-called descendant of a god?

"Master Changshou, please stop talking nonsense here. The orders of the Son of God cannot be disobeyed. Today we will definitely cut off your head and bring it back to report to the Son of God." As the king, Oguli was the first to get rid of Li Zhi's magical interference and said angrily.

But the murderous aura in her body had largely disappeared.

It seems that he accepted Li Zhi's argument.

Li Zhi was right, the ancient times were over. Now was the era when humans dominated the world.

The human race is the least concerned with status.

It seems that few human cultivators would instinctively worship them just because they are descendants of the great emperors of the human race.

That kind of "equal" hierarchical concept was something that the ancient creatures had never encountered before.

In the ancient times, the royal family and the kingly family had a strict hierarchy and they severely exploited the lower-level monks.

After the ancient creatures were revived, their thoughts were actually greatly impacted.

At the same time, the concept of "equality" within the human race, which does not care about blood or origin but only emphasizes strength, is also one of the reasons why the major royal families in ancient times hate the human race.

Because this kind of "equality" will shake their rule and make it impossible for people to enjoy the scenery of ancient times.

There is no such thing as killing without reason in the world.

Behind all this are all kinds of calculations that cannot be discussed openly.

Although the cultivation environment of Beidou in ancient times was much better than it is now, all the opportunities for fortune in the world were occupied by the major royal families.

Ordinary ancient creatures actually did not enjoy much benefit from the cultivation environment.

At least it’s not like the human race, where everyone has equal opportunities.

No matter whether you are the descendant of a great emperor or an ordinary cultivator, there is no distinction between high and low in personality.

Seeing that her subordinates seemed to be showing signs of rebellion, Oguli became angry.

"Human, you deserve to die." Oguli was so angry that she took out a white jade knife and slashed at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi showed a hint of disappointment when he saw this, and shook his head and said, "Well, it seems that I overestimated your communication ability. After being sealed by the Divine Source for millions of years, don't you think your brains are no longer working? I hope you can understand what I said today after you go back."

Li Zhi didn't believe that these ancient creatures would remain indifferent after seeing the relationship between the various tribes of the human race.

Unless they are all puppets without the ability to think independently, what he said today will definitely cause some people to reflect.

The distinction between high and low in ancient times, as Li Zhi said, was an insult to their personality.

Why is the ancient queen superior to others? Even if her cultivation is weak, she still regards herself as superior to others.

Seeing a thoughtful look in the eyes of many ancient creatures, Li Zhi knew that his preaching had a certain effect.

A seed called "freedom" was planted in everyone's hearts.

If they cannot learn the concept of equality from humans, and still stick to the social operating rules of ancient times, the only thing that awaits them is complete extinction.

If no fundamental changes are made, these species eliminated by time, even if they are sealed to future generations, will still not be able to avoid the fate of being eliminated.

"All of them come to me. Cut off his head and the Son of God will reward you handsomely."

Seeing that Li Zhi easily dodged her attack, Oguli became anxious and shouted at those ancient creatures.

A group of ancient creatures instantly came to their senses and immediately attacked Li Zhi.

But many people seem to be working without putting in any effort. Their moves look gorgeous, but they are not powerful at all.

Li Zhi smiled when he saw this, and then said: "Then I will let you see the supreme magical power of my human race today. Perhaps it will help you think about the future."

Then, Li Zhi directly displayed the Wheel Sea Phenomenon and the Zhoutian Star Map, covering the sky and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Without exception, all those ancient creatures were incorporated into the Zhoutian Star Array by Li Zhi.

Even Oguli, who had already been killed, was no exception.

Then, a fierce battle broke out within the Zhoutian Star Array.

It was not that intense, but Li Zhi had a cordial and friendly exchange with almost every ancient creature, letting them understand the survival principles of human society, and then he beat them severely and made them lose their fighting ability.

An hour later, the Zhoutian Star Array disappeared.

In the desolate valley, lay a group of ancient creatures.

Oguli seemed to be falling apart, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes. She had never imagined that Li Zhi's fighting ability could be so strong.

Even she, a king who had already achieved great success, was defeated by Li Zhi after only three moves.

It seems that he is even more powerful than the descendants of the Immortal Emperor whom they worship as a god.

There was a faint suspicion in his mind that the prince of the Emperor could maintain the divine status of the Immortal Emperor.

Of course, this was all done deliberately by Li Zhi.

When coexisting with ancient creatures, fighting and killing is definitely not the mainstream.

Li Zhi’s real purpose is to disintegrate the unity of the ancient creatures from within.

The disunited ancient creatures are just some relatively powerful individuals.

There is no threat to humans at all.

When dealing with ancient creatures, you must never treat them as a single entity.

Only by analyzing the class distribution of ancient creatures can we disintegrate their power in a targeted manner.

In Li Zhi's opinion, as long as there is a serious hierarchy among the ancient creatures, there will definitely be a large number of ancient creatures that are oppressed.

Liberating those oppressed ancient creatures is the most effective way to cut off the tentacles of those ancient kings.

Li Zhi stood in the void with great spirit, looking at the ancient creature to which he had taught a great truth with his absolute strength, and revealed a look of satisfaction.

Although he did not kill anyone in this battle, Li Zhi believed that when these ancient creatures took back the ideas he had instilled in them, the effect would be better than killing them all.

Afterwards, Li Zhi came to Oguli and said, "Give your prince a message for me. Tell him that I am very interested in him and would like to discuss Taoism with him. If he is interested, we can discuss Taoism at Purple Mountain. As the descendant of the Immortal Emperor and known as the Son of God, I think he should not be afraid to discuss Taoism with me. Otherwise, I am afraid that he will have to give up the title of Son of God to someone else."

After saying that, Li Zhi disappeared from in front of her.

Oguli, with an extremely complicated expression, adjusted her breathing for half an hour before finally recovering some of her magic power. She then waved her hand to collect the injured ancient creatures before leaving in disgrace.

Not long after they left, people from the Jiang family and the Yao Chi Holy Land also came to the desolate valley with some powerful people.

However, apart from some pits created by ancient creatures, there were no other traces of battle left on the ground.

"I clearly sensed that a great battle had taken place here, so why are there no signs of fighting?" A powerful man looked at the surrounding environment with a hint of confusion.

"Let me cast a spell and see." Another powerful man immediately used the method of backtracking, trying to analyze the process of the battle just now through the tiny traces left on the ground.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

The battle took place within the Zhoutian Star Array set up by Li Zhi, so naturally it would not leave many traces in the outside world.

Unless the large formation was destroyed.

The powerful men of the Jiang family and the Yao Chi family looked at each other, seeing deep fear in each other's eyes, and then returned to the Divine City.

The outcome of things seemed to be different from what they had imagined.

I need to go back and investigate thoroughly.

Half a day later, Oguli brought the seriously injured ancient creatures back to the secret valley where the Prince of Heaven was.

Seeing a group of injured subordinates, the emperor's face became extremely ugly.

"Oguli, didn't you bring back the head of the Taoist priest of longevity to this Son of God?" asked the Prince of Heaven.

After seeing the expression on the emperor's face, Oguli recalled what Li Zhi had said to her in the battle array, "The emperor's son is ambitious but incompetent, timid and cowardly. He never blames his problems on his own incompetence, but always shifts the blame to his subordinates. In the future, all his subordinates will surely die because of his incompetence. He cannot protect you, and you have no future following him. Oguli, imagine your future after you go back. Your Son of God is not worthy of your following."

Oguli suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and respectfully relayed Li Zhi's words to the Crown Prince.

When the Emperor heard that Li Zhi wanted to meet with him to discuss Taoism, his expression suddenly became ferocious, and he could no longer hold back and shouted that he wanted to kill Li Zhi.

Unfortunately, Oguli waited and waited but never heard the prince say that he would personally kill Li Zhi.

This made Oguli feel even more depressed.

I couldn't help but wonder, "Is it true that as the Taoist longevity said, times have changed and they no longer have to bear the oppression they suffered in ancient times? Is it time to live for themselves?"

The irritable prince seemed to remember that Oguli was still in front of him, so he regained his composure and said, "Oguli, go down and recuperate."

When Oguli left, the prince immediately overturned the jade coffee table beside him.

After being ridiculed by Li Zhi, he felt a strong desire to kill Li Zhi, but he never had even the slightest thought of killing Li Zhi himself.

However, the price to pay for asking King Zu to kill Li Zhi is quite high.

Those ancestral kings are not ordinary ancient creatures. He can make them sacrifice their lives with just one order, and this requires a price to pay for their own interests.

The more powerful the existence, the greater the cost of asking the ancestral kings to take action.

Previously, when Prince Tian had a conflict with the Holy Prince, he had thought about inviting the Ancestral Kings to hunt down the Holy Prince, but in the end, the plan was dropped because the Ancestral Kings offered too high a price.

Now Li Zhi was almost firing at him right in the face.

It made the prince feel very embarrassed.

He was much more wary of Li Zhi than of the Holy Prince who was constantly against him.

It's not that Li Zhi's strength is so powerful that makes him despair, but the method that Li Zhi has mastered to ignore the Emperor's ban and directly observe the origin of his bloodline, which still makes him feel terrified.

After his innate origin was observed in the egg, the prince always felt like he was being seen naked.

That feeling not only made him develop mysophobia, but also created a demon in his heart.

"Your Highness, are you having a nightmare again?"

Soon, a beautiful maid came to the prince and comforted him while cleaning up the room that was messed up by the prince.

"I'm fine. How did you get here?" asked the prince.

"I came here when I heard the noise in your palace. Your Highness, you are the emperor's son and have a noble status. In fact, you can leave those trivial matters to your subordinates. Your most important task is to practice. Only by reaching the level of the emperor as soon as possible can you not be afraid of any interference from any evil spirits in the world." The maid persuaded.

"You don't need to comfort me. You are right. This prince has a noble status. How can those lowly human races compare to me?"

The prince seemed to have hypnotized himself and became confident again.

Then, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Although this prince will not take action, there are people who will take action for this prince."

The maid asked, "What are your plans, Your Highness?"

The prince said, "Go and prepare yourself, and come with me to Blood Phoenix Mountain in a few days."

The maid said, "Your Highness, are you going to ask the people from Blood Phoenix Mountain for help? In fact, instead of asking the people from Blood Phoenix Mountain, it would be better to ask the people from Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. It is said that the Taoist Changshou deceived the people from Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, and now the people from Ten Thousand Dragons Nest hate him to the core."

After thinking for a moment, the Heavenly Prince shook his head and said, "Let's go to Blood Phoenix Mountain. As for the people from the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest... it's better not to mention them."
