Chapter 137: Concubine Yun: Chen'er, please take Qiulan in.
"We, the Shenxiao Sect, will remember today's vengeance!"
Elder Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, uttered a cruel word, and fled into the distance without looking back.
Elder Wang and Elder Zhou made the same choices as Elder Lin.
However, the three people fled in different directions to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.
After a fierce battle, the Shenxiao faction was finally defeated.
The three elders of the Shenxiao Sect who fled in a panic had their robes in tatters, and looked like beggars.
After the three elders of the Shenxiao Sect escaped, Yu Shenxing felt that something was wrong.
Without the Shenxiao Sect, the only ones left are rebels.
Yu Shenxing gave a look and the other people from the Evil Suppression Division retreated one after another.
Yu Shenxing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he left the area of Xiniu Mountain.
Fortunately, the rebels did not catch up with him, and he could not help but be grateful for His Majesty's divine power.
If the central government was weak, how could these rebels allow the Evil Suppression Division to retreat so easily?
With the departure of Shenxiao Sect and Zhenxie Division, only Xuanyuan Xue and Xuesha Sect were left on Pingding Peak.
At this moment, the Blood Sea Ancestor was not relaxed at all. Instead, he was more cautious and solemn than before.
As a traitor himself, he understands traitors better.
Don’t underestimate them; they just joined forces to fight the Shenxiao Sect and the Zhenxie Division.
But now that the external enemies are gone, maybe the Blood Evil Sect will be the next target.
"Hahaha--"
"Thank you all for your help. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, the Blood Sea Ancestor slipped away with everyone from the Blood Evil Sect, as slippery as a loach.
The four Taotie watched the Blood Evil Sect members leave and did not chase after them until they left the range of Xiniu Mountain.
It’s not that it’s impossible, but it’s not worth it!
They were all injured at this time, so there was no need for them to continue fighting with the Blood Evil Cult.
The Blood Evil Cult didn't have what they needed.
"Suzaku, Xuanwu, Hundun, let's think about how to explain today's events to the Lord later." Taotie's words made the other three feel heavy-hearted.
"Don't you think that what happened today is a little strange?" Suzaku asked.
Suzaku's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
There is something wrong with today's situation.
Especially the Shenxiao Sect, which inexplicably appeared in Xiniu Mountain and then inexplicably fought to the death with them. It was as if they were kicked in the brain by a donkey.
"Do you think someone is operating in secret?"
"Operating in secret? How to operate in secret? Brainwash the three elders of Shenxiao Sect, or control Yu Shenxing mentally?" Chaos snorted coldly.
“Although I don’t know how the Shenxiao Sect, the Xuesha Sect, and the Evil Suppression Division were attracted here.”
"But from their expressions when they saw the psychic fig, it's clear that they didn't know about its existence."
"Could it be related to Liu Qingyang?"
"The Shenxiao Sect suspects that we killed Liu Qingyang, so they are fighting like this?"
"That's unlikely! Is it worthy for three elders to fight to the death with a genius who is not a saint? Unless the Shenxiao Sect has lost an extremely important treasure."
After analyzing the situation, the four Taotie were still confused, even more bewildered than before, and remained silent for a while.
"The palm that stopped Zhuque from leaving before, this method seems a bit like..."
"Ice Soul Fairy!"
Suzaku said viciously, flames shooting out of his eyes.
If it weren't for that sudden palm strike, he would have escaped with the spiritual ginseng.
How come so many things happened later?
Even the Lingxuanshen was torn into pieces by five horses!
"Also, Fairy Guanghan, the disciple of Fairy Bingpo, has the strength to pass through the ninth floor of Kaiyang Tower. It is not impossible for her to kill Liu Qingyang."
"The Shenxiao Sect was most likely brought here by her."
"On the contrary, it is the Blood Demon Sect. I guess they noticed our fight and wanted to take advantage of the situation."
After Taotie's incisive analysis, the other three suddenly understood what was going on and looked angry.
"Haha - what a great Ice Soul Fairy! She killed Kunpeng last time and put the blame on us."
"This time, our plan has been disrupted again. This matter needs to be reported to the Lord, and a plan needs to be made to completely suppress the Ice Soul Fairy."
"Five years ago, I let Fairy Bingpo escape. This time, I can't let her go again."
The four Taotie spoke indignantly.
……
The escaping light cut through the sky.
Elder Lin's face was pale, with blood oozing from his chest, and he looked weak.
"Xuanyuanxue, where on earth did this organization come from?"
"Having so many upper third realm experts is definitely not something that can be built overnight."
"What was shown today is probably just the tip of the iceberg of Xuanyuan Xue. Doesn't that mean... Xuanyuan Xue has the strength of a holy land?"
"hiss--"
Elder Lin took a deep breath, not knowing whether it was because of the terrible guess in his mind or the severe pain in his chest.
"You can inform other holy land families about this matter."
"Dayu is too small to accommodate another holy land family."
Elder Lin's eyes flickered, and suddenly, the light of escape stopped. He glanced around, his face solemn to the extreme, as if water could be squeezed out of it.
"Which fellow Taoist is here uninvited?"
"hehe!"
"Lin Zhengyang, you are still as timid as you were back then!"
With a cold snort, an old man with a cane walked out of the void.
Helian Hai sneered at Elder Lin and blocked his way.
When seeing Helian Hai's face, Elder Lin always felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly came to my senses.
"Helian Hai, it's you!"
"You are not dead, and you have become like this!"
Elder Lin finally recognized the identity of the person in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable and the world is changing.
Thinking back to the time when Helian Hai was young, he was so handsome and unrestrained, and was a famous handsome man in the Taoist sect. I didn't expect that after not seeing him for more than ten years, he would become this half-human, half-ghost appearance.
"Helian Hai, why are you blocking my way?"
Elder Lin became alert. Both the Shenxiao Sect and the Wulei Sect mainly used thunder magic, and their previous relationship could not be considered good.
"Hehehe!"
"It's not interesting either."
"His Highness said that he would collect some interest first."
"Please, Lin Zhengyang, go and die!"
Helian Hai spoke the most murderous and decisive words in the calmest tone.
As soon as these words were spoken, murderous aura spread everywhere, and even the temperature in the air dropped sharply.
Elder Lin's face suddenly changed drastically, with a look of horror in his eyes.
"Qingyang, he really is..."
Before Elder Lin could finish his words, Helian Hai interrupted him domineeringly.
"Lin Zhengyang, you talk too much!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Rumbling--
The rumbling thunder that echoed through the sky seemed like a thunder storm coming from the sky above.
A deafening sound exploded in Lin Zhengyang's ears in an instant.
It's like a mountain collapse!
It’s like a river flowing upstream!
Coming in waves, unstoppable!
The sky was filled with thunder, like a curtain of heaven, pressing down.
At this moment, the sky fell!
In the blink of an eye, Elder Lin's body was engulfed by the thunder.
The rumbling thunder lasted for a cup of tea, then suddenly stopped and disappeared.
The doomsday scene just now suddenly became sunny and cloudless.
A huge pit several feet deep was left where Elder Lin had just stood. The pit was charred black, but there was still a faint smell of barbecue.
When Helian Hai returned to the palace, Zhou Haochen was waiting for him, drinking tea. "Mr. He, how is the situation?"
"We only captured Elder Lin."
"It's a pity that the three elders of the Shenxiao Sect retreated separately, otherwise we could have captured them all in one fell swoop."
Helian Hai, who had just displayed his supernatural power and killed Elder Lin, was still not satisfied. He wished he could kill all three elders of the Shenxiao Sect.
"Mr. He, don't regret it."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Zhou Haochen took a sip of the fragrant tea and spoke lightly, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
As for the Shenxiao Sect, when Elder Wang and Elder Zhou returned to their base, they immediately asked their disciples to inform them of the bad news.
Elder Lin has fallen!
When Elder Wang heard the sad news, his eyes went dark, his legs almost went weak, and he took a step back.
Their Shenxiao sect had suffered heavy losses in recent days, which made him heartbroken!
Not only did they lose a genius on the Hidden Dragon List, but they also lost the most precious jade certificate of Yingyuan Mansion.
There was a big battle at Xiniu Mountain today, and I thought I could get away with it safely.
Unexpectedly, someone picked the peaches.
Although he did not see the scene of Elder Lin's death, he could guess most of it with his toes.
Elder Lin, who was obviously injured, was ambushed on his way back and was killed by a powerful enemy.
Moreover, the other party was obviously keeping an eye on the battle in Xiniu Mountain.
Otherwise, Xiniu Mountain is so close to Yujing City, how could the other party intercept Elder Lin by such a coincidence?
"Ugh--"
"Recall all disciples and close the station."
"I'll go ask the Sect Master for help."
When Elder Zhou heard Elder Wang's decision, he moved his lips twice, wanting to object, but found that there was no reason to object.
Given the current situation, we really need to ask for help from the sect.
But if you do this, you will definitely be evaluated as not doing your job well.
"Ugh--"
"It's nature that plays tricks on people!"
……
While the Shenxiao Sect was hiding away and licking its wounds, Zhou Haochen was busy cultivating the spiritual Scrophularia ningpoensis.
The spiritual Gentiana was broken into pieces and divided among the people.
Zhou Haochen only got a root. If there was no Jiutian Xirang, the root would always be just a root with limited value.
But if the roots can be cultivated into the spiritual Scrophularia ningpoensis again, it will be of great value.
The places where the spiritual Xuanshen and the Jiutian Xirang appeared are so close.
Although there is no evidence, Zhou Haochen speculated that the reason why the psychic Glossy Ganoderma is able to communicate with spirits is most likely caused by the Nine Heavens Xirang.
Coming to the backyard, Zhou Haochen buried the Jiutian Xirang in the soil, and then planted the roots of the spiritual Scrophularia ningpoensis.
Soon, Zhou Haochen discovered that the roots, which had been sluggish and dying just now, actually regained vitality after being planted in the Jiutian Xirang.
It was as if a beautiful woman who had been widowed for many years, sitting on the ground and breathing the earth, suddenly got nourishment and had a second spring.
"It really works!"
Seeing the roots being revived by the Jiutian Xirang and starting to grow again, Zhou Haochen's mouth curled up slightly and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is worthy of being the Nine Heavens Xirang that was used to mend the sky in the legend. Its function of cultivating spiritual herbs alone would probably drive farmers crazy.
The only trouble is that after the Jiutian Xirang is used to grow the spiritual Scrophularia, it can no longer be put into the storage bag.
If they were placed in the backyard, Zhou Haochen was a little worried that the Spiritual Glossy Root and the Nine-Heavenly Xirang would be discovered.
After much thought, Zhou Haochen set up a concealment formation to cover up the Jiutian Xirang and the Lingxuanshen.
Fortunately, this is his own palace, which is heavily guarded, and ordinary people cannot discover any clues in the backyard.
……
The next day.
The second day after the Shenxiao Sect closed its doors.
A huge white jade warship landed in Yujing City.
This giant white jade ship is built entirely of top-grade white jade. Its huge size makes people wonder whether a jade mountain was hollowed out to forge such a huge ship.
The white jade sparkles brightly under the sunlight, like a dream. Once you take a look at it, you will never forget it in your life.
When this huge white jade ship appeared above Yujing City, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Not only ordinary people, but also all the practitioners in Yujing City, were looking up at the giant white jade ship in the sky.
Taixu Sect!
This is the Taixu Sect’s vehicle!
The Taixu Sect, the world's number one holy land, has entered the capital.
People who don't know the inside story thought that the Taixu Sect came for the Beidou Secret Realm, so much so that today the Beidou Secret Realm has seen an explosion in the number of visitors, who are eager to make a profit before the Taixu Sect explores the Beidou Secret Realm.
However, the major holy land families who knew the inside story, upon seeing Taixu Sect's arrival, all felt the aura of impending storm.
The test of Emperor Qianyuan is about to begin.
In the days to come, Yujing City will be in turmoil and the sky and the earth will change color.
Inside the giant white jade ship.
The three elders of Taixu Sect were chatting and laughing in a relaxed manner.
Next to them sat a young man who, judging by his appearance, looked to be in his early twenties at most.
He has an extremely handsome appearance and it is difficult to tell whether he is androgynous. Only the Adam's apple on his neck tells outsiders that he is a real man.
What is even more surprising is that this young man actually has a layer of white satin on his eyes.
He is a blind man!
"Son, what do you think of this visit to the capital to test Emperor Qianyuan's situation?"
The one with white satin on his eyes is the holy son of this generation of Taixu Sect - Meng Qianxun.
"You might as well ask the Saint first. The person in the world who knows Emperor Qianyuan's situation best is none other than the Saint." Meng Qianxun said calmly.
The saint girl he mentioned was the previous saint girl of Taixu Sect.
At the same time, this saintly lady of the previous generation also had another widely-known identity—the Empress of Emperor Qianyuan.
When Emperor Qianyuan was able to win the throne, their Taixu Sect played a vital role.
It can be said that Taixu Sect is the biggest financial backer of Emperor Qianyuan.
After Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne, when it came to rewarding people for their contributions, naturally the Taixu Sect was included.
For the saint of the previous generation, becoming the queen was just the most superficial reward.
As for other benefits and how much Emperor Qianyuan paid, only the top leaders of Taixu Sect know it and it cannot be told to outsiders.
"This method is safe. Let's ask the Queen about the situation first, and then decide on the next course of action."
……
Wangfu.
Concubine Yun's personal maid, Hua Yuan, came to deliver the message.
"Hua Yuan, what instructions does mother have?" Zhou Haochen asked.
"The Queen invites Your Highness to the palace for a gathering. It seems to be related to the third young lady of the Cui family." Hua Yuan reported truthfully.
"I will go see my mother right now."
After Zhou Haochen gave an order to the Liyue sisters Chunyue to help him change into gorgeous clothes, he went to Jingxizhai to pay a visit to Concubine Yun.
"My son has met my mother and concubine."
"Chen'er, come sit next to mother and let me tell you about the Cui family's marriage."
Zhou Haochen curled his lips and said, "Could it be that the Third Miss of the Cui family doesn't want to get married and wants to cancel the engagement?"
Perhaps because he had read too many online articles, Zhou Haochen’s first reaction was that the woman wanted to cancel the engagement.
Concubine Yun rolled her eyes and spoke unhappily.
"Chen'er, what are you talking about?"
"You can't say this in front of the Cui family."
"Got it, mother!"
Judging from what my mother implied, this marriage seems to be going very smoothly?
Zhou Haochen thought secretly in his heart.
"The head of the Cui family sent a letter saying that he strongly supports this marriage. He wanted to bring the third young lady of the Cui family to the capital as soon as possible so that you two younger generations can meet and improve your relationship."
"However, some time ago, the Patriarch of the Cui family happened to find the whereabouts of the world's number one medical expert, and took the third young lady of the Cui family to see a doctor."
"According to the Cui family's Patriarch, we will bring the Cui family's third young lady to the capital in three months."
"Chen'er, don't be so impatient!"
"The third young lady of the Cui family is very delicate. If you can't help it, you can take Qiu Lan first."
"Qiulan is not young anymore, don't delay the girl's youth."
