NOVPUBQuantai City, Ji Ru sat in her room, and a moment later, Cao Guanxiu arrived.
"What matter does Your Highness seek the old servant for?"
Ji Ru replied, "I intend to challenge Taiyi, and I kindly ask you, senior, to deliver a message to the human world for me."
Cao Guanxiu was shocked, "That’s impossible, Princess. Taiyi now possesses divine and ghostly powers and is absolutely invincible in the Death Realm."
"Think thrice, Your Highness!"
Ji Ru laughed bitterly, "Being a member of the Da Yan royal family, one must always do something."
"Send a message to the human world, hoping they can provide me with some assistance."
After Cao Guanxiu left, Ji Ru said with a light-hearted smile, "That Taiyi, when making a move, should know when to hold back."
The news of Ji Ru intending to challenge Chen Qing spread quickly, causing the world to be shocked and to start earnestly collecting information about this princess.
Little was known to the outside world about the royal family princess.
The royal Wugen Sect quickly released some information about this princess, revealing her extraordinary prowess. During her Foundation Establishment stage, she had once exchanged a hundred moves with Li Chonghuan.
Moreover, Princess Ruyi carried a Luck Gu, which could be said to grant her enduring fortune.
Of course, against Heavenly Punishment, the Luck Gu was utterly useless.
The Da Yan court began to seriously discuss whether Ji Ru’s challenge to Taiyi had any chance of success.
After days of debate, they discovered that if Ji Ru contracted a cicada-type Gu insect and ensured she could withstand the pressure from Chen Qing and Heavenly Punishment, and if she could deploy a King Grade Defensive Gu insect, there was truly some hope.
Soon, someone remembered a King Gu preserved by the Immortal Court.
The King Grade Mountain Gu, Yuan Magnet Divine Mountain.
Regrettably, this King Gu’s grade was extremely high, and the contracting conditions were extremely complex.
Moreover, the Immortal Court would never easily relinquish it, making it impossible for Ji Ru to contract it.
The outside world might think Chen Qing was arrogant, but Da Yan actually welcomed it.
In their view, with Da Yan’s foundation, it might not be impossible for Princess Ruyi to contract a special King Gu.
This was a profitable deal, by gaining one King Gu, securing another King Gu, and acquiring more slots for the Ghost Face Realm’s promotion to the Mystic Gate Realm.
Twenty percent was indeed too little, but if it were thirty percent, it wouldn’t be unacceptable.
Complete rejection would not work either, if Chen Qing truly stayed in the Death Realm for a thousand years and contracted the terrifying power of the Six Dao Ghosts.
Cutting off the Mystic Gate Realm promotion for four Great Sects for a thousand years would be an utterly unbearable consequence.
For a hundred years, everyone could grit their teeth and get through.
A thousand years, and the current Mystic Gate Realm and Sky-reaching Realm would mostly fall, leaving few Feather Transformation Realm.
Therefore, allowing Ji Ru to contract a Defensive King Gu became the most suitable approach.
After the final deliberations, the Da Yan court decided to send a King Gu to the Death Realm to assist Ji Ru in facing Chen Qing.
As for which King Gu, to avoid Chen Qing getting the news in advance and being prepared, it was not announced to the public.
Then, at a gathering, Chen Qing saw this King Gu.
"Senior Taichu, please advise."
[King Grade Magic Gu, Xiezhi] (Limit Eleven Floor)

Effect: With a Discerning Eye, distinguish right from wrong. It could determine the truthfulness of others’ words, but only the truth or falsehood.

Traits like Undying Decree, Qingyun Decree, Spirit Communication Decree, Demon King Decree are ineffective.
[Justice]: When more people in the affiliated dynasty do not believe in justice than believe in it, Xiezhi would immediately vanish!

Chen Qing, after reading the information on this Gu insect, thought to himself, it truly has the look of a Legalist disciple.
Not subject to royal power, yet supporting the rule of the Royal Decrees.
The Legalists uphold the king.
When a prince breaks the law, the same punishment as a commoner rightly applies.
There is another unspoken phrase, which is: "The king breaks the law, no guilt."
One has to admit, the effect of this Strip was extremely terrifying.
In the future, facing any formidable opponent, accompanied by Ji Ru, greatly reduces the opponent’s strength.
Simple yet effective.
It was equivalent to directly sealing an opponent’s capability or Divine Skill.
Using this Gu to seal one’s own Fatian Xiangdi, one’s offensive strength would significantly decrease, greatly restraining oneself.
No, it should be said, it restrains all Gu insects.
