In the hall of Mu, a voice echoed, “Yes, the junior cultivator takes his leave.”
Upon hearing the words, Zhang Ziping's tense body visibly relaxed, but he still forced himself to bow respectfully.
After speaking, he exchanged a glance with Liu Yu and slowly retreated to the door of the hall before turning and walking out.
There was no doubt that the Great Qian Immortal Emperor was at the divine transformation realm, and many of the ministers and lords standing around had nascent soul cultivation as well.
Powerful auras filled every corner of the hall, and as a “small” golden core cultivator, the pressure he had to endure was unimaginable.
Moreover, there might even be people harboring ill intentions among them!
Disguising himself as an ordinary Zhang Clan cultivator to slip in under the pretext of providing details and preventing oversights, Liu Yu chose to remain silent throughout.
After receiving Zhang Ziping's signal, he followed him out of the hall.
“Whew~”
Once they left the Purple Palace, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure ease significantly.
“Being in close proximity to cultivators far above one's own life essence, not knowing whether they harbor malicious intent, indeed feels quite uncomfortable,” Liu Yu reminded himself to stay as far away from high-level cultivators as possible.
Bright sunlight illuminated their bodies, the warmth dispersing the lingering chill, and Liu Yu secretly reminded himself.
“Let's go,” Zhang Ziping said softly beside him.
Under the lead of a group of “Golden Guards”, the two returned to the “Triumphal Arch”, leaving the Great Qian Imperial Palace along with Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi.
“Daoist Zhuo, regarding the information about Tian Nan, after careful consideration, I still believe it’s inappropriate to speak of it outright.”
“After all…”
Walking among the palace buildings, Liu Yu discreetly transmitted his decision to Zhuo Mengzhen.
After all, to some extent, she was also a “messenger of Tian Nan” and must have received a similar task.
Thus, reaching a consensus was indeed necessary; otherwise, differing paces could potentially ruin significant matters.
“If we want to be cautious, we must be a bit ruthless and…”
As they walked, Liu Yu squinted, a thought flashing through his mind.
However, reflecting on his experiences over the years, he ultimately chose not to take the simplest and cruelest approach.
Receiving the divine sense sound transmission, Zhuo Mengzhen's expression shifted, her beautiful eyes briefly flashing with confusion.
But this woman was still incredibly intelligent; after Liu Yu's reminder to reconsider from another angle, she recognized that her previous assumption had been too self-evident and somewhat lacking in consideration.
In a place filled with high-level cultivators in the Divine Capital City, the two golden core cultivators were not at all conspicuous, and they had to prioritize their own safety.
They could not entrust their safety to the goodwill of others.
“Is that so?”
“I understand now,” Zhuo Mengzhen smiled slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth, and silently transmitted her divine sense.
“Mm.”
Liu Yu subtly nodded, soon falling silent again.
“Tap tap…”
Soft footsteps sounded as the six, under the guidance of the palace attendants, strolled through the resplendent palace complex.
On their return, they moved much faster, and everyone’s mood relaxed considerably, so it didn’t take long before they exited the Great Qian Imperial Palace.
“My family has several residences in the Divine Capital, all rich in spiritual energy, and there are fourth-tier formations to ensure safety.”
“Daoist Gu, since you are new here and not very familiar with the Divine Capital City, how about we settle at Ziping's residence for now?”
“Moreover, Colorful Butterfly Daoist is also coming along.”
After leaving the Great Qian Capital, the six walked a distance when Zhang Ziping halted and clasped his hands towards Liu Yu and the others.
