Almost at the moment when the feminine voice fell, the brilliant essence that emerged from Zhao Jin's body disappeared again before it had time to surface.
Before the true energy in his body was annihilated, a bright moon could be vaguely seen appearing at his throat.
The moment the bright moon moved, the true energy in Zhao Jin's body was completely annihilated!
"The protector of Xuankong Mansion is nothing more than that!"
The feminine voice sounded again, then disappeared.
At the same time, the door of the central hall was opened, and the surrounding doors and windows were also opened, and the entire hall was illuminated again.
In the bright hall again, there was only a corpse lying on the ground.
The owner of the corpse is none other than the protector of Xuankong Mansion, Zhao Jin, a powerful being in the early stage of the Earthly Saint Realm.
Now, he is lying in a pool of blood, and his slit throat is still gushing blood...
In addition, it can be vaguely seen that in addition to the fatal wound on his throat, there is a small red spot between his eyebrows, which is a drop of blood.
If you now use your spiritual consciousness to examine the center of Zhao Jin's eyebrows, you will definitely find that there is a blood hole the size of a pinprick in the center of his eyebrows, going directly from his forehead to the back of his head.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the central hall regained its light, three black-armored guards entered the hall like lightning.
One person took away Zhao Jin's body, another took away the blood-stained carpet, and the last person replaced the central hall with a new carpet.
After the smell of blood dissipated, the central hall returned to calm, and everything just now seemed as if it had never happened.
"This person seems to be the protector of Xuankong Mansion!"
The black-armored guard who handled Zhao Jin's body said to the black-armored guard who handled the blood-stained carpet.
"His name seems to be 'Zhao Jin'."
The latter nodded.
"It is said that the two guardians of Xuankong Mansion were in the early stage of the Earthly Saint Realm... Just now, from the time when the central hall was closed to reopening, Zhao Jin died in just a few breaths. Look at the marks on his body. The traces should be Master Yue Wuying’s hand!”
said the former.
When he mentioned the three words 'Yue Wuying', his pupils shrank obviously.
"It is said that in our Qingyun Mansion, apart from the Lord of the Palace, even Rong Lao, Ku Lao and Lord Commander have never seen the true face of Lord Yue Wuying... Lord Yue Wuying is worthy of being the shadow of the Lord of the Palace. , It’s really mysterious!”
The latter said again.
On the same day, news came from Qingyun Mansion:
"The protector of the Xuankong Mansion, 'Zhao Jin', was executed for angering the Qingyun Mansion!"
This news also caused a huge sensation once it came out.
After all, that is the protector of Xuankong Mansion, a powerful existence in the early stage of the Earthly Saint Realm!
The news soon reached Xuankong Mansion.
A group of senior officials of Xuankong Palace, led by the master of Xuankong Palace, Meng Qing, gathered together again.
Coincidentally, the last time a group of people got together was because of the death of the deputy palace master 'Zhao Deng'; and today, they got together again because of the death of the protector 'Zhao Jin'.
The death of the Zhao family's father and son caused a panic in Xuankong Mansion.
"You must already know the matter... Protector Zhao was executed by Qingyun Mansion because he offended Qingyun Mansion!"
While Meng Qing spoke in a deep voice, his face looked a little ugly.
Can it look good?
Zhao Jin is one of the two guardians of Xuankong Mansion. He is an existence in the early stage of the Earthly Saint Realm and one of the 'pillars' of Xuankong Mansion.
But now, Zhao Jin's murder is tantamount to breaking one of the pillars of Xuankong Mansion.
"Um."
Everyone nodded.
"What do you think about this matter?"
Meng Qing asked again.
"I don't think Protector Zhao can be so reckless. There must be some misunderstanding."
A deputy master of Xuankong Palace spoke first.
"I think so too."
Many people agreed.
"Gu Dharma protector, what do you think?"
Meng Qing looked at the silent Gu Ciyun and asked.
"My opinion is the same as theirs... In addition, I think Qingyun Mansion will not take action against Protector Zhao without any reason."
Said the ancient word cloud.
"I always feel something strange about this matter... I plan to go to Qingyun Mansion in person to confirm what is going on?!"
Meng Qing's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.
"Lord Palace Master, no!"
"Master, no!"
…
After hearing Meng Qing's words, many people present panicked.
What a joke!
Protector Zhao broke into Qingyun Mansion and died.
If their palace master goes to Qingyun Mansion and follows in the footsteps of Protector Zhao, what will happen to Xuankong Mansion in the future? What should they do?
Xuankong Mansion without Meng Qing is equivalent to a tiger without teeth.
Once Xuankong Mansion falls, those of them who are leaning on the big tree of 'Xuankong Mansion' will also be affected.
Therefore, he would rather let the matter be revealed and not pursue it than let Meng Qing take the risk.
Meng Qing is not only the master of their Xuankong Palace, but also the 'Optimus Prime' of their Xuankong Palace!
"Is this matter just settled? If outsiders learn that our Xuankong Palace has done nothing about this matter, I don't know what they will say about our Xuankong Palace!"
Meng Qing said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, many people fell silent.
"Master of the Palace!"
In the end, it was Gu Ciyun who was the first to speak to break the silence at the scene, "Let me go... I will go to Qingyun Mansion. If I can come back safely, it means that Qingyun Mansion has no intention of targeting our Xuankong Mansion, or anyone in our Xuankong Mansion. If you can't come back, it means that Qingyun Mansion has the intention of falling out with our Xuankong Mansion."
At the critical moment, Gu Ciyun stood up.
In the end, under the dissuasion of the senior officials of Xuankong Mansion, Meng Qing could only give up the idea of going to Qingyun Mansion in person.
Let the ancient words of Dharma protectors go!
Gu Ciyun went to Qingyun Mansion and came back in only ten days.
After Gu Ciyun returned, a group of senior officials, including the master of Xuankong Palace, Meng Qing, gathered together again.
"Master, after I arrived at Qingyun Mansion, I behaved myself, and the people in Qingyun Mansion were also very polite... The master of Qingyun Mansion, Duan Rufeng, even told me that if he was free, he would come to our Xuankong Mansion As a guest. Palace Master Duan also said that if Palace Master goes to Qingyun Palace, he will personally welcome him!"
Gu Ciyun said to Meng Qing in front of everyone.
Suddenly, Meng Qing's expression softened a bit.
"I have long heard that although the Qingyun Palace has risen rapidly, the people in the Qingyun Palace are not as domineering and bullying as the people in the Yinshan Black Market... Now it seems that it has something to do with the humble character of the master of the Qingyun Palace."
"Listening to what the ancient protector said, Palace Master Duan is not an unreasonable person... Even if Protector Zhao offended their Qingyun Mansion, he did not anger the Ancient Protector and our Xuankong Mansion because of Protector Zhao."
"In my opinion, the last time it was Protector Zhao who was unkind and offended the Qingyun Mansion... and it was probably not an ordinary offence."
…
A group of senior officials of Xuankong Mansion were discussing. As they spoke, everyone stood on the side of 'Qingyun Mansion', and no one stood on the side of 'Zhao Jin'.
"Gu Protector, can you ask me about Protector Zhao?"
Meng Qing looked at the ancient Ci Yun and asked.
"Um."
Gu Ciyun nodded, "I asked Palace Master Duan...According to Palace Master Duan, it was Guardian Zhao who entered Panlong Lake and wanted to ask the black-armored guards stationed at the edge of Panlong Lake if they had seen his son 'Zhao Deng'. Then the black-armored guards said that they had just taken over, and suggested that Protector Zhao ask the black-armored guards from the previous shift."
"Then, Guardian Zhao asked the black-armored guard to help find the black-armored guard from the previous shift. The other person said that he could not leave his post without authorization and had to wait until the next shift to help Guardian Zhao... But Guardian Zhao did not listen. He felt that the other party did not give him face, so he took a strong shot and killed the other party!"
"A small team of black-armored soldiers and ten black-armored guards. Except for the captain of ten who escaped death, the other nine were all killed by Protector Zhao... It is precisely because of this that the strong men of Qingyun Mansion took action to kill Protector Zhao. !”
Ancient Ci says that a lie can be told without blinking an eye.
However, even though he was lying, he didn't feel blushing at all.
"Excessive!"
"Guardian Zhao has gone too far!"
"That's right! If Protector Zhao does this, if Qingyun Mansion doesn't kill him, who will he kill?"
…
Zhao Jin's 'actions' also aroused public indignation among the high-level officials of Xuankong Mansion.
Even the master of Xuankong Mansion, Meng Qing, frowned even though he didn't say anything. He just felt that Zhao Jin had embarrassed Xuankong Mansion.
From beginning to end, no one doubted the words of Gu Ciyun.
They never dreamed that the words behind Gu Ciyun were completely made up by him.
Of course, the previous words are all true.
He did go to Qingyun Mansion and received warm hospitality. The master of Qingyun Mansion, Duan Rufeng, even accompanied him personally!
However, the reason why he has so much face is not because he is the protector of Xuankong Mansion, but because he is the father of 'Gu Li' and because of the care he took for 'Duan Lingtian' in the past.
In this way, Zhao Jin's death came to an end.
Xuankong Mansion didn’t pursue it any further.
It is worth mentioning that because Zhao Deng and Zhao Jin died successively, the Zhao family, which lost its two main pillars, also began to decline.
Later, they were broken up and reorganized, and rejoined the Xuankong Mansion.
Qingyun Mansion, the mansion where the master of the palace, Duan Rufeng, lives.
A spacious and quiet room was empty at the moment.
In a small corner behind the bed, a small tower the size of a speck of dust stood there. No one could discover it, and no one knew there was anything else inside.
"Haha... The second form was successful!"
Laughter echoed on the third floor of Qibao Exquisite Tower, but after many days of hard work, Duan Lingtian finally tempered the 'Golden Crow Wings' to its second form!
"I can finally break through the current level of cultivation!"
After tempering the 'Golden Crow Wings' to its second form, it also means that Duan Lingtian no longer needs to suppress his own cultivation and can directly break through to the 'Great Saint Realm'.
Next, after spending three days and three nights, Duan Lingtian took a step that he could have taken a long time ago.
"Early stage of the Great Saint Realm!"
Feeling the qualitative change of the sun's essence in his body, Duan Lingtian's mood was agitated...
"From today on, I can officially use the 'Golden Crow Wings', and even comprehend and practice the 'Little Devouring Technique'!"
