Chapter 298: Two Breaths...
This was something he recently carved in Black Ridge County, specifically for protecting Chen Taiping.
"Father, if you use it up in the future, you can send me a message."
"Alright," Chen Taiping stored away the wooden sword, pondering for a moment before asking, "Are your methods capable of dealing with a Great Demon King?"
When he was stationed at the Beixiong Pass, his greatest fear was a sudden attack by a Great Demon King from the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Often, the movements of those Great Demon Kings were hard to track, and even with two ancestors stationed at the pass, it was still difficult to ensure the safety of the soldiers.
Therefore, most of the time, the soldiers guarding the Beixiong Pass found it hard to sleep peacefully, fearing that they might die in their sleep one day.
"Ordinary Great Demon Kings should be able to be held off for a moment, but if it's a Demon King..." Chen Yi said seriously, "I can cut them down in one stroke!"
The small wooden sword he recently crafted was imbued with the Sword Dao Divine Power of the Fifth Realm, and he even left a trace of Divine Will on one of the wooden swords, enough to protect Chen Taiping in critical moments.
One must know that the Divine Power of the Fifth Realm, known as "Divine Will Incarnation," is a power capable of attaching a sliver of one's mind and will onto the Divine Will.
Even though Chen Yi didn't use it often, he was clear on the basic methods.
As for the Sword Dao power of the Divine Power Fifth Realm... theoretically, it should be able to cut down any Great Demon King below the Fifth Realm.
Should there really be a blind Demon King or Demon General coming, they're simply seeking death!
"That's good then," Chen Taiping smiled, looking at Xia Wanwan and others who were in a good mood, and used sound transmission:
"Yi Er, if possible, the Kyoto Prefecture also needs your attention."
Chen Yi was moved in his heart, thought for a moment, and also used sound transmission: "Father, are you worried about the Zhou Family, or those ill-intentioned people in the imperial court?"
"It could be both," Chen Taiping said with a complicated expression, "In the past two days, I have reported the Zhou family's matter to the Holy Emperor, but he didn't specify anything, just said he would deal with the Zhou Family."
"But based on my understanding of the imperial court, I'm afraid this matter still needs some maneuvering."
Chen Yi's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and he sneered inwardly, "Father, rest assured, once I return to the Kyoto Prefecture, I will resolve this matter."
This also includes the disputes in the imperial court, such as the civil-servant and Marquis factions' conflict, and those court ministers secretly controlled by the Evil Demons and the Demon Court.
Fortunately, with so many people coming to the Kyoto Prefecture for the Wei Dynasty's grand event, it provides the convenience for him to take swift action.
"You, handle it yourself." Chen Taiping looked at him deeply, deciding not to intervene in this matter anymore.
He knew very well the temperament of Emperor Wei.
Since the Holy Emperor didn't respond directly, it shows that he still has some sympathy for the Zhou Family, or he needs to make some preparations to deal with potential follow-up troubles.
But those interests and entanglements are, in the eyes of the Marquis faction, trivial matters.
Compared to the safety of Beixiong Pass and South-Garrison Pass, the fights among the aristocratic families, nobles, and civil servants in Wei Dynasty are really insignificant.
Not to mention other Marquises, sometimes the actions of those civil servants made even Chen Taiping feel uncomfortable, wishing he could take a spear and slaughter them all.
If Chen Yi could solve all of them, it would be a boon for the Marquis faction, many court ministers, and all the prefectures in the Wei Dynasty, saving them from scheming constantly.
Not long after, when the Xia family members were prepared, Chen Yi cupped his hands and said:
"Father, I will now escort grandfather and mother back to the Kyoto Prefecture."
"Take care."
Chen Taiping nodded slightly, "Protect your mother and them."
Chen Yi smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the Divine Will of Inch and Mile enwrapped the Xia family members.
"Yi Er, won't this exhaust you?" Xia Wanwan looked around, hesitating, and asked.
"Yes, Yi Er," Xia Zhonghe slightly sensed it, only feeling a slight pressure on his body, and said thoughtfully:
"If it's too tiring, we can take a carriage instead."
"Don't worry, it will be quick."
After saying their goodbyes to Chen Taiping, Chen Yi directly used the Near and Far Divine Power and took a step forward.
When Chen Taiping looked again, he found that the courtyard was already devoid of Chen Yi and his group, only the Xia family's house servants were left.
And his Spear Dao perception around him, likewise, detected nothing.
"This Yi Er," Chen Taiping shook his head, "his cultivation indeed far surpasses mine..."
Saying this, he informed the remaining people in Xia Mansion to take good care of things, and then he took his personal guards back to the barracks.
Compared to Chen Taiping's knowledge, the Xia family members only felt their minds greatly shaken.
In just two breaths, before they could even react, or with just a few blinks, they saw the scene change before them and found themselves in a spacious courtyard.
Surrounding them were pavilions and towers, with meticulously arranged flowers, rocks, and plants, showing it was no ordinary household.
"We have arrived." Chen Yi calmed his mind and said.
"A-Arrived? What do you mean arrived?" Xia Zhongping looked around, couldn't help swallowing and asked, "Yi Er, where are we now?"
"Chunhe Garden?!"
At this moment, Xia Wanwan and Lu Luo recognized the surroundings, their eyes widened, and said, "Yi Er, is this the Duke Wuan Mansion?!"
Chen Yi nodded, mischievously smiled, and said, "Mother, don't you even recognize your own home?"
Xia Zhonghe stared blankly at the surroundings, then gave himself two slaps.
"Not dreaming..."
"Yi Er, when you held up those two fingers just now, you didn't mean two days?"
"Of course not, it was just two breaths."
"That's too scary..."
"Dad, cousin, is he a fairy?"
"Not a fairy, but close enough."
Saying this, Chen Yi used sound transmission to notify his second uncle and others to prepare.
Meanwhile, he also saw some figures emerging from the side rooms, Li Qingzhou, Xiao Xuanzhen, Hua Xianzi, and Hua Youxiang.
