348: Taiyi Sect issued a ban order?

Guo Feng was not stupid.

He knew that making a move against a Taiyi Sect true disciple on Sect Street would cause big trouble.

However, not making a move was also not an option.

Therefore, what he could rely on was the Empress's imperial decree.

How to make good use of this imperial decree was also a technical skill.

If he killed someone right away and then pulled out the imperial decree to save his life, wouldn't that be directly telling the other party that the Empress ordered him to kill?

And now, he had no intention to kill.

It was just a personal conflict, mainly playing the role of a profligate and arrogant person, making people think he was presumptuous due to favor.

This way, the next time he 'accidentally' beat Guo Xiaoyi to death, it wouldn't seem so deliberate.

"Greetings, Empress!"

As expected, as soon as Guo Feng took out the imperial decree, almost everyone present knelt down and bowed to the imperial decree.

The only ones who didn't kneel were The Zihuo Daoist and Hua Yinxi.

Then, The Zihuo Daoist angrily said, "This matter is actually related to the Empress. Good, I'd like to personally ask the Empress what she means by this!"

"Go ahead and ask, ask whatever you want!"

Guo Feng didn't explain at all, but waved his hand, "I have the imperial decree on me, if I want to beat Guo Xiaoyi, then I will beat him!"

He looked at The Zihuo Daoist with dissatisfaction again, "You old man, remember this too, when I'm strong enough, I'll beat you up too! Taiyi Sect, heh, are they that overbearing? Can't your disciples be beaten? I insist on beating them! From now on, I'll beat every one I see!"

"My goodness..."

"This young man is so overbearing!"

"He must be crazy, right? Even the Empress wouldn't dare to offend the Taiyi Sect so casually, would she?"

Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, The Zihuo Daoist was also bewildered.

For a moment, he couldn't quite tell if Guo Feng was intentionally ordered by the Empress to kill Guo Xiaoyi.

Or if this kid was just a profligate who was presumptuous due to favor.

He then sneered, "Good! You have guts! Since you've provoked my Taiyi Sect, then my Taiyi Sect will respond accordingly."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice, "Taiyi Special Order: Today, Guo Feng, presumptuous due to favor, has provoked the dignity of my Taiyi Sect."

"From now on, anyone found trading with Guo Feng will be an enemy of the Taiyi Sect."

"Any sect that Guo Feng joins will be an enemy of the Taiyi Sect."

"Those who are on good terms with Guo Feng shall never have any dealings with the Taiyi Sect for eternity!"

"My Taiyi Sect hereby issues this order, hoping for compliance!"

As his voice fell, with the impassioned sound spreading throughout Sect Street, a red light also shot up into the sky.

It exploded with a bang.

It was exactly what he had just said.

As this light flashed, it immediately spread in all directions.

It seemed to want to spread this news throughout the entire empire.

"Block me?!"

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.

The Taiyi Sect was actually so overbearing?

More overbearing than him, this profligate?

At this moment, The Zihuo Daoist looked at Guo Feng coldly, "Guo Feng, within three days, the Taiyi Order will spread throughout the entire empire. You'd best not leave the imperial capital, and best carry the imperial decree with you for life, otherwise, you will surely be hunted down by the Taiyi Sect!"

"Good!"

Guo Feng really didn't expect the Taiyi Sect to be so overbearing.

Even with him possessing the imperial decree, they dared to issue such a blockade order.

However, since the other party was so arrogant.

He would accept it.

He chuckled, "Then you'd best tell your Taiyi Sect disciples to be careful, I'll kill every one I see."

He then looked at Guo Xiaoyi, "If you don't want to die, immediately leave the Taiyi Sect, otherwise, you'd best stay hidden in the Taiyi Sect and not come out!"

He just couldn't find a reason to kill Guo Xiaoyi.

Alright.

Now he had one!

"Hmph!"

Guo Xiaoyi snorted coldly, who would die first was still uncertain.

Offending the Taiyi Sect versus offending the Empress, no one could say which would be worse.

"Alright, that's all for now, let's go."

The Zihuo Daoist coldly waved his hand and led Guo Xiaoyi towards the magnificent building of the Taiyi Sect.

Everyone looked at Guo Feng and couldn't help but feel regret.

Clearly, they could tell that Guo Feng had no idea how powerful the Taiyi Sect was.

In the world of sects and cultivation, the Taiyi Sect was an absolutely supreme existence.

It was evident from the fact that The Zihuo Daoist, at Nine-Rank Seventh Layer, could only barely rank in the top ten.

Rumor has it that there are three people in the Taiyi Sect who have reached the Nine-Rank Ninth Layer Limit.

Among the top ten, besides two Nine-Rank Seventh Layer cultivators, the rest are Nine-Rank Eighth Layer.

Furthermore, this was only their apparent strength.

Not only that, the Taiyi Sect's influence was even more terrifying, and the number of its disciples was extremely formidable.

Even the imperial family had to conduct transactions with the Taiyi Sect.

The Taiyi Sect possessed the most ancient cultivation techniques, ancient alchemy, and ancient artifact forging techniques.

Its accumulated wealth was probably even greater than that of the imperial family.

If the Taiyi Sect didn't have to show respect to the imperial family in the imperial capital, outside the imperial capital, even if Guo Feng took out the imperial decree, the Taiyi Sect might not even acknowledge it!

The Taiyi Sect was just that arrogant!

"Sigh..."

Hua Yinxi sighed, looking at Guo Feng, "Brother Feng, why are you doing this? It's my fault, I didn't tell you about the Taiyi Sect's strength when I came..."

She was also very troubled at this moment.

The Taiyi Sect was going to completely blockade Guo Feng, preventing him from having cultivator friends.

Preventing him from leaving the imperial capital.

One must know that in the path of cultivation, cultivating alone is useless; once resources are exhausted, no matter how one cultivates, one cannot break through.

Therefore, many masters would rather be bodyguards or enshrined cultivators for others.

Some also go out to explore and search for resources on their own.

Others learn alchemy or artifact forging to exchange for other resources.

And offending the Taiyi Sect while unable to leave the imperial capital.

That means waiting for resources to wither, slowly fading into obscurity, or even social death, and over time, developing inner demons.

Whether it was the Six Harmonies Sect behind her, or the Prefecture of the Princess, or her father Duke Wei, all needed to interact and trade with the Taiyi Sect.

"Since things have come to this, there's nothing we can do."

Guo Feng, however, didn't seem to care much.

The Taiyi Sect might be very powerful.

But he wasn't afraid!

He had teleportation techniques, and Small Teleportation Talismans, and he had a system.

Earning resources while lying down.

What was there to be afraid of?

If worst came to worst, he would take out good things from the shop to win people's hearts.

Only his Taiyi Sect was powerful?

He would lie low for a few hundred years and see if the Taiyi Sect or he was richer?

As he thought of this, he straightened his back even more, looking at Little Princess, "Little Princess, do you still want me to join the Six Harmonies Sect now?"

"This..."

Hua Yinxi looked melancholic, but still said, "Let's try."

She actually mostly had the answer already.

The Six Harmonies Sect was already sparsely populated and relied on the Taiyi Sect for certain resources.

Generally speaking, a sect wouldn't give up cooperation with the Taiyi Sect for the sake of a genius.

"Alright."

Guo Feng just smiled indifferently.

It just depended on whether his Six Harmonies Sect had the guts.

At this critical moment, if they dared to admit him into the sect, he could help improve the Six Harmonies Sect's top combat power.

It wasn't impossible to make the Six Harmonies Sect surpass the Taiyi Sect.

However—

If the Six Harmonies Sect was timid, then it could only be said that they were fated not to be.

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the main entrance of the Six Harmonies Sect.

As soon as they walked up, the people around them started pointing and whispering.

Creak!

The large gate opened abruptly.

A group of people radiating spatial aura walked out from inside.

They had an imposing demeanor!
