Peerless Taoist

A flurry of footsteps came from inside.    

A cultivator held the door in panic and stuck his head out, trying to escape the range of the ancient palace.    

However, from this ancient palace, a ray of bright multicolored light quickly appeared and completely covered the figure of this cultivator.    

Buzz ~ ~ ~    

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the cultivator who was originally a strong middle-aged man started to age at a visible rate.    

In just a few short breaths of time, he had actually become an old man with white hair and beard.    

"Save... save me."    

The cultivator begged silently before finally collapsing onto the ground.    

His lifespan had been completely depleted at this moment. No one could save him anymore.    

Hiss -    

In the distant valley, the sound of gasps could be heard.    

Those were the rogue cultivators who had yet to obtain the golden seal. They were planning to take the initiative to sneak into the Path of Heaven.    

It seemed like the Heavenly Dao's warning was not a lie.    

Without the golden seal, they would not be able to enter.    

"Lishi, bring me a golden seal to see the way." Li suddenly said.    

A red-robed eunuch immediately knelt down and acknowledged as he held a golden seal in his hand and flew into the light.    

If it were any ordinary cultivator, they would definitely be cautious after seeing the scene just now.    

However, with Li's order, the red-robed eunuch did not hesitate at all.    

Hum -    

The Mu Shou golden seal landed within the range of the glow, immediately emitting a dazzling golden light.    

Next, the golden light started to spread out, finally forming a protective barrier around the red-robed eunuch.    

This protective barrier had a range, and it could only accommodate a dozen or so people standing inside.    

The red-robed eunuch thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and grabbed a wild rabbit from the forest.    

Casually placing the wild rabbit into the range of the Glow Illumination, the wild rabbit struggled for a while, then began to age. Finally, its skin began to cave in, forming a pile of bones.    

"Emperor, this Glow Illumination seems to be able to speed up the flow of a person's time. If it wasn't for the Mu Guarding Golden Seal, those who enter would definitely die within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea." The red-robed eunuch said in a deep voice.    

Li Ji nodded, and then ordered people to send out a group of generals and eunuchs from the ship. There were actually seventy to eighty of them.    

Yan Shenggong frowned, "Emperor Li, the Heavenly Axiom said that each golden seal can only bring twenty people at most. By doing this, I'm afraid you've exceeded the limit."    

Li Ji glanced at him and said lightly, "It's fine."    

Whoosh! Swish! Swish!    

Three golden seals appeared behind Li's back.    

Just like the golden seals in the red-robed eunuch's hands, these were all Guardian Seals that controlled a region!    

In total, there were four golden seals!    

"Four!"    

"Emperor of Great Tang, how could there be four golden seals? Including the original golden seals of the Eastern Lands, where did he get those three?"    

"I remember now. Penglai, Karakorum, and Heavenly Lake are adjacent to the Eastern Lands. Could it be that the Emperor of the Great Tang has destroyed these three territories as well?"    

Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw the four golden seals floating in the air.    

Even the Snow King, who had formed a temporary alliance with Li Ji, looked over with a hint of fear in his eyes.    

"Emperor, why don't we let these people go up first and scout the path for us." A general suggested.    

He did not use sound transmission to say this. He did not even mind if the others present heard it.
