Chapter 802 -251 Bearing the Burden
The divine statue did not respond.
However, the three people in the hall could very clearly sense that a complex torrent of emotions was overflowing from the statue.
Link could not stay in the Imperial Palace for long, and showing up this time was a certain risk, so he had no choice but to withdraw and retreat.
After all, he now knew that the so-called apocalyptic calamity was brought about by Elise Clark, who had become the White Lotus Saintess for reasons unknown, and the follow-up would be much easier to handle.
Glancing at the Fortune Array that was about to be fully restored, as well as Duke Wei, who was on alert and ready to attack at any moment, Link decided to leave first and discuss others matters later.
Speaking of this Fortune Array, Link had to admire that old prison warden.
Not only was he impressed by his alchemy skills but also his ingenious method of attack.
The moment the White Lotus Saintess, formed by Elise, descended to the world, she suffered heavy damage and became tainted.
This greatly reduced the difficulty of surviving the apocalyptic calamity.
Indeed, he was both a great sage and a great compassionate one, willing to make a sacrifice.
However, Link now couldn’t return to Fuli County right away.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his master Li Shuwen and the martial artists from the Octagon Martial Arts School.
Instead, he was wary of the Taoists of this world.
Whether they were forcefully designating him the person to face the Tribulation or treating him as an accomplice of the White Lotus Saintess, neither scenario was something Link wished to see.
Therefore, Link simply settled down on a low hill in the Western Suburb of the Capital City, using the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed, and observed the development of events from afar with a cold eye.
Since the Taoists of this world were so powerful, with the guidance of predecessors and the old prison warden having invited the Saintess to her death, they must have had other contingencies in place.
For instance, the Big Dipper Taoist, Daoist Wuya, and the one behind Immortal Jingxu…
In the following days, the development of events progressed just as Link had predicted, with the Taoists beginning to take action.
One high-level practitioner after another stepped out from their respective shrines, converging towards Fuli County.
The news of a Heavenly Demon born outside the realm in the Imperial Palace also spread quickly throughout the world of Da Yong.
Emperor Kangqian had died, and rumors circulated that the Empress was a demoness—rumors detailed and plausible.
In just two or three days, the world of Da Yong, which could have been considered peaceful, was completely thrown into chaos.
Several adult imperial sons fled the Capital City at the first opportunity, each returning to their territories to prepare for battle.
Only the Eldest Imperial Son, in a state of gloomy drunken stupor, missed his chance and ended up confined by Duke Wei’s Kangqian emperor in the Inner Court.
Great families and martial factions from Jianghu were all on edge.
Facing the chaos, the common people had no other choice but to hoard food as best they could.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the Empress had begun to lose her composure.
Fortunately, Duke Wei, who had been brainwashed into a zealous disciple by the Saintess’ divine statue, remained calm in the face of danger, issuing one order after another, barely stabilizing the court and the Capital City.
The garrison troops of the Capital were also in a state of emergency, training and reorganizing, ready for the unexpected.
But the Empress didn’t care about any of these things; all her thoughts were focused on the dying infant girl and the silent divine statue.
Whether it was to revive the infant girl or to reawaken the divine statue, these were urgent matters that the Empress wished to resolve.
For this, Duke Wei’s Kangqian emperor continued to be drained of resources.
Another two days passed.
On the seventh day since the old prison warden had sacrificed himself to heavily injure the White Lotus Saintess, the Taoists of this world, led by the Big Dipper Taoist, advanced toward the Capital City.
Clearly, the Taoists had been well-prepared for this calamity.
Even the master of Immortal Jingxu, who claimed to be reciting the Huang Ting and not concerned with worldly matters, was also among the ranks of high-level practitioners.
The sixty-four high-level Taoists were precisely enough to set up the Demon Subduing Array.
Apart from the high-level Taoists, there were also many martial artists in the demon subduing team.
Both the Human Immortal Martial Path and mechanical martial arts were represented.
The Big Dipper Taoist, who had been traveling around the world of Da Yong by the decree of his master, was not touring for leisure but was acting with great strategy and influence.
The efforts of more than twenty years were all invested in this team.
The only regret was that the destined person to face the Tribulation had run away!
As a result, the number of sacrifices among the Taoist practitioners would greatly increase, which was truly regrettable.
The Empress and Duke Wei’s Kangqian emperor received the news immediately.
However, there weren’t many measures they could take.
Issue a decree to the military governors in all regions to annihilate this team?
It was possible.
But they had to be prepared, psychologically, for the entire world to revolt the moment such an order was issued.
This incident was different from the exploration of Death Valley or the snatching of the Longevity Peach; its nature was completely different.
The Death Valley incident was about the imperial authority showcasing its majesty.
“All under heaven are the ruler’s lands, and all within its borders are the ruler’s subjects.”
From a legal standpoint, the Longevity Peach Tree in Death Valley indeed belonged to Emperor Kangqian.
So whatever Emperor Kangqian wanted to do, he could.
At most, he seemed a bit crude and despotic, that’s all.

Facing the current situation, the only things the Empress and Duke Wei’s Kangqian emperor could do were to dispatch the Inner Guard and have them execute.
As long as they could wipe out this so-called demon subduing team thoroughly, freeing up their hands, they would be able to quiet the turmoil that had unsettled the world of Da Yong in just a few days.
It was at this time that Link, who had been sitting on a low hill in the Western Suburb of the Capital City, received a meeting request from Elise.
It seemed she had finally sorted out her emotions and was ready to face Link.
Link gladly accepted the invitation.
With a teleportation, he entered Death Valley under the Longevity Peach Tree.
The “Celestial Shuttle” activated at his command.
“You are leaving?”
Lorin Ben appeared in time and asked.
“Not yet, just meeting someone,” Link replied, his gaze falling on the roots of the peach tree that bound the “Celestial Shuttle,” “Clear the space.”
Lorin Ben, unwilling and resentful at the sight of an increasingly powerful Link, begrudgingly agreed with a “Fine,” directing the roots to make room.
After spending over a month with Master Li Shuwen devising the Construction version of “Congenital Eight Scenic Powers,” Link, too, had reaped benefits.
