The news of the battle at Canglangyuan in Bingzhou reached the ears of Qing Gu Mingyue, the protector of the Iron Banner Gang, at noon the next day.
At this time, Gu Mingyue was handling the errands assigned by Chu Xisheng, cleaning up the Taishan Hall of the Iron Banner Gang. Yiying violated the gang rules, committed many evil deeds, and bullied the gang members in the land of fish and meat.
Flag owner Chu Xisheng was obviously a person who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he had made up his mind to clean up the house of Iron Banner.
Even if it triggers a backlash from the gang below, or even rebellion.
Not only is Gu Mingyue superb in martial arts, he is also capable as a person.
Here in Taishan County, he killed what should be killed and caught what should be arrested, always keeping a firm grasp on the situation. There is no wrongful manipulation of one person, and there is no killing too much.
The key is that Li Manshan, the corpse dog in charge of Taishan Hall, is very disciplined.
After doing these things, Gu Mingyue couldn't help but feel complacent.
The several tasks in his hands have all been completed beautifully, and they will definitely make him stand out among the several guardians.
Of course, this move would not gain Chu Xisheng's trust.
But he still has Mad Sword Feng San as a stepping stone.
It can be seen that Chu Xisheng has great trust in Feng San and is very close to him.
As long as Feng San can say a few words in Chu Xisheng's ear, he might have a few more chances.
Until Gu Mingyue drove his flying boat and flew along the river to Xiushui County, his contact person suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lone Mingyue was dissatisfied at first.
The other party's actions were very risky.
Although the Iron Banner Gang's internal affairs hall is leaky from all sides, it's not worth mentioning.
However, Chu Xisheng still had the Tiantingyuan of the Wuxiang Divine Sect to rely on.
He is also close to Tianji Pavilion and can purchase information from Tianji Pavilion.
Therefore, it is very risky for the two of them to meet in private. If someone discovers it, all their efforts will be wasted.
However, when Gu Mingyue read the letter handed to him by his contact person, he felt like his brain was going to explode.
"Flag Master—Chu Xisheng, has he cultivated the Divine Will Sword Heart?"
According to the message recorded in this letter.
This son defeated an army of five million giant spirits in the Canglang Plain in the North with his divine will and sword heart.
The suppression of many giant gods in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave is most likely related to this person.
He is also highly suspected of being one of the murderers who framed and killed Shu Huaishi, the Supreme Sword.
The key is--
"In other words, as early as the Xishan Town Xiangtang Conference, when we first met, he sensed my murderous intention?"
"It must have taken more than one day for Chu Xisheng to cultivate the heart of the Divine Will Sword. However, my junior brother is very skilled in martial arts and has the murderous thoughts of hostility contained in his heart. The Master of the Wuji Sword may not be able to sense it."
Although the black-clothed contact person said this, his face was the same ashen color, as if an elder in the family had died.
Gu Mingyue couldn't help grinding her teeth.
Chu Xi declared that he knew his purpose, but still pretended not to know and sent them to do things.
This guy probably has a dark heart.
He took a deep breath and calmed down: "So what is the plan now in the door? Chu Xisheng has cultivated the Divine Will Sword Heart and has a clear understanding of my intentions. If before, I was 20 to 30% sure of completing the mission, now I am not even 10% sure .”
Gu Mingyue actually didn't care whether she could gain Chu Xisheng's trust or not.
He is not here to be a bully or a horse for Chu Xisheng.
The purpose of Gu Mingyue coming here is just to grasp the whereabouts and news of this Wuji Sword Lord.
If possible, it would be best to remove this future 'Xue Yan' quietly and without any trace.
At worst, they would also cut off the possibility of Chu Xisheng being promoted to the fourth rank.
If this situation becomes a problem, it will not be a good thing for all parties.
In addition, he also had to find out the clues about Ni Shen Banner and Lie Wang's treasure.
But now, Gu Mingyue feels that there is little hope.
Having murderous intentions and having unknown origins are two different situations.
If his origins were unknown and the timing of joining the Iron Banner Gang was delicate, he could still make Chu Xisheng lower his guard.
Gu Mingyue can use water to sharpen her skills and get what she wants bit by bit.
The problem is that since Chu Xisheng knew that he had murderous intentions, would he still give him an opportunity to take advantage of him?
"That's not right!" Gu Mingyue squinted her eyes, lost in thought: "He actually still has such delusional thoughts and wants to conquer us?"
He couldn't help but laugh, holding his sword with his hand: "This guy is very ambitious. Do you want to build a ladder to reach the sky?"
"It is indeed very courageous. If you dare to come and join the Iron Banner Gang, he will dare to use it."
The liaison person's face has returned to calm: "It doesn't even matter whether you can be subdued or not, as long as you can be used by him. This guy doesn't care at all whether you are loyal or not. If you dare to disobey his orders, then I will help him deal with it. So the door After thinking twice, I decided to let you stay."
Gu Mingyue had already expected it, but she still snorted coldly: "Do you want to use the trick?"
The contact person smiled bitterly: "Junior brother, after the battle in the Northern Blue Wolf Plains, the Wuji Sword Lord's position on the chessboard became more important and he was full of weight.
Now this son's every move, his rise and fall, his life and death, are all related to the overall situation of the world. This is a battleground for the Iron Banner Gang and must not be abandoned lightly. I predict that after today, all forces will take action, and more masters will definitely come to join us.
Junior brother, since that Shuzi is so arrogant and wants to subdue you and others, why not go with the flow and let him subdue you step by step? "
As he spoke, he handed over a jade slip: "This is given to you by the sect. Please proceed step by step."
Gu Mingyue held the jade slip in her hand, concentrated on the feeling, and found that it was a piece of "The Supreme Concentration Technique".
He immediately understood the other party's intention: "I understand, just let the two sect masters and the great elders rest assured."
The meaning of step-by-step means that this hostility cannot be eliminated in one step. It needs to disappear bit by bit before Chu Xisheng can be trusted.
"I have always believed in my junior brother's ability."
The liaison person's face was cold and solemn, and his tone was firm: "However, I predict that junior brother may not be able to win Chu Xisheng's trust in a short period of time. Fortunately, we arranged chess pieces in the Iron Flag Gang two years ago.
I, Xiang Kui from Beitianmen, and Wang Zheng from Nantianmen, these two have been following Chu Xisheng for a long time, and they didn’t know that the sect had murderous intentions against Chu Xisheng, so it would be easier for them to gain Chu Xisheng’s trust.
Soon after, these two people will go south from the Wuxiang Divine Sect and return to work for the Iron Banner Gang. At that time, if it is convenient for you, you can take care of one or two, so that they can stand out in the Iron Banner Gang as soon as possible. Of course, it also depends on the specific situation and whether the time is right. "
Gu Mingyue's eyes flashed slightly: "I understand, I will watch the wind and colors and act with caution."
The world only thinks that after the former first-grade divine sect, the Dayan Tianmen, split into the South Tianmen and the Beitianmen, there have been constant battles and killings for hundreds of years, and the situation is like fire and water.
Little did they know that the two families had secretly colluded and made peace more than ten years ago.
Recently, they are even planning a merger in order to restore the status of the former First-Rank Divine Sect.
The contact person's eyes once again showed admiration: "One more thing, try to pay attention to Chu Xisheng's whereabouts. Once Chu Xisheng shows signs of preparing the secret ritual of the Wuxiang Gong, the news must be passed on."
After he finished speaking, his figure dispersed and turned into black air that dispersed into the water below.
Gu Mingyue continued to sit cross-legged on the bow of the boat, immersed in a long examination.
This place is not far from Xiushui County. The flying boat he boarded traveled very fast and arrived at the Chu family mansion in Xishan Town in a short time.
When Gu Mingyue flew down in front of the courtyard gate of the Chu family mansion, she found that Wan Fengqing, Dan Xuefei, Laughing Kuanglong, Ba Tianlai, Feng Liancheng and others had also returned.
They were all waiting in the hall, preparing to submit a task to Tie Xiaosheng, the deputy flag-bearer who was acting on behalf of the gang.
Gu Mingyue found that the faces of these people were not very good-looking, or their brows were wrinkled, or their faces were as blue as stone.
Apparently, they also learned about Chu Xisheng's use of divine will to defeat five million giant spirits in the Canglang Plain.
Gu Mingyue couldn't help but think in her heart, how many of these protectors and ministers had murderous thoughts towards Chu Xisheng? How many people had to hold their noses and stay, hoping to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation like him in the Iron Flag Gang?
※※※※
At the same time, in a certain section of the upper reaches of the Black Dragon River in Bingzhou, a large amount of blood poured down from the river bank, dyeing a section of the river red. There were more than a thousand heads washed by the water and floating downstream.
】
There were more than 3,000 people kneeling on the bank of the Black Dragon River. They were lined up in several rows. They all had gray faces, frightened eyes, and wooden signs stuck behind their backs.
This thing is called a "Death Card", also called "Ming Jie" or "Zhan Tiao", with their names and the crimes they committed written on it.
Its function is to prevent the wrong criminal from being escorted to the execution ground, or the wrong person from being killed.
At this time, a group of burly men wearing brocade uniforms were dragging them out one by one, dragging them to the shore and beheading them.
The head fell into the river, the blood was washed away by the nearby river, and the remaining body was thrown into a nearby corpse pit and burned and buried.
According to the customs in the North, this is an extremely vicious approach. They will not be able to keep their bodies intact after death, their remaining souls will not be able to rely on them, and they will not be able to live in peace after death.
Many people want to resist, but are unable to struggle.
Either they had Zhenyuan nails nailed to their bodies, or all the bones in their bodies were broken.
Most of them had wood or strips of cloth stuffed in their mouths and were unable to speak.
Just when many Tianya Jinyi guards were beheaded to more than a thousand levels, Ji Qianqian, who was supervising the execution here, saw a dozen flying carriages speeding from the horizon in the distance.
After the carriage stopped, her subordinate, Jinyiwei Qianhudu Honglian, jumped out of the carriage first. More than 20 people were dragged out of all the cars one after another.
——It was clearly a group of second- and third-grade high-ranking officials and generals headed by Lai Tianrong, the commander of the Tianning Army, and Yan Chun, the military officer's Jinyi Guard Wanhu.
These dignitaries of the North, who were usually aloof and aloof, were actually tied up with five flowers, their bones were locked, and their bodies were covered with Zhenyuan nails.
Most of them had good cultivation, and even in this state they could still muster their strength, and each of them resisted the dragging of the escorting soldiers like bulls.
However, as the two people on the carriage appeared, they were dragged to the crowd on the shore and forced to kneel down.
Ji Qianqian glanced at the two people.
Those are the two of the Wuxiang Three Friends of the Wuxiang Divine Sect, Zong Sanping and Ren Xiaowo.
Both of them had their hands behind their backs and looked at the many death row prisoners on the shore with indifferent expressions.
Ji Qianqian felt slightly puzzled. She called Du Honglian to her and asked, "What's going on? Are you still interrogating? Are you dragging them here so early?"
Du Honglian's face was solemn, his eyes were on his nose, and his nose was on his heart: "That Yan Chun from the military office had a tight mouth, and he bit him to death because he was instructed by several mysterious figures.
He said that he did not know the identities of these people, but he only knew that the other party's cultivation level was as high as super level, and he personally promised to give him a first level future. Guarantee him prosperity and wealth, and directly enter the first rank within ten years. We tortured him non-stop, but we couldn't get him to speak.
The rest of the people were similar. They said they were bewitched by others but did not know their identities. Just a moment ago, Wanhukou was dismissed because he said he was too lazy to re-examine it. "
Du Honglian was actually relieved.
She was really scared to ask what Yan Chun, the military yamen guard Wanhu, would say.
If the emperor and Ouchi are involved, the world will immediately collapse.
Ji Qianqian nodded slightly when he heard this and thought that there was really no need for a retrial.
These people are just pawns manipulated by those forces, and their knowledge is extremely limited.
Emperor Jianyuan would not be stupid enough to directly participate in this matter, and those forces involved in planning the Wuxiang Shenzong would not leave any obvious clues or handles.
The top leaders of Wuxiang Shenzong must also know the mastermind behind the scenes, and they don't need evidence.
"Since it is the Lord's will, let's send them on their way now."
Ji Qianqian looked back behind him: "Drag them to the river!"
Among those second- and third-grade high-ranking officials and generals, except for Yan Chun, the imperial guard and guard Wanhu, whose face was as gray as dead wood, the rest of them were all shrinking and struggling redoubled. They let out whimpering sounds of unwillingness and indignation, and they refused to move even if the chains on their bodies affected their bones and flesh.
Among them, Lai Tianrong, the commander of the Tianning Army, even forcefully chewed the wood in his mouth and shouted angrily: "Ji Qianqian, how dare you? Lai is a second-rank general of the imperial court. He is the general of the Tianning Army. The commander of the capital! He is also the brother-in-law of Anbei General Qin Sheng.
Ji Qianqian, you are just a member of the Jinyiwei and the deputy of ten thousand households. How dare you kill an important official of the imperial court without being interrogated by the Three Laws Division and without the emperor's permission? You are so lawless that you dare to regard the laws of the imperial court as nothing—"
Ji Qianqian looked back at this person, and then strode over.
A cold light flashed from her waist, and she drew her sword directly and neatly chopped off the head of Lai Tianrong, a second-grade general who conquered the captives.
When the fountain of blood flew up and Lai Tianrong's still-grinding head flew into the river, the entire execution ground fell into silence.
Ji Qianqian turned around and glanced at the silent death row prisoners in front of him with cold eyes.
"Last night, the emperor issued a clear edict. He ordered my Tianya Jinyi Guards, Chu Xisheng, to investigate and investigate the four powerful officials of Bing You Ji Jue for colluding with the giant spirits and betraying the soldiers of the Sirius Army.
This crime must be taken seriously. All those involved do not need to be sent to the capital, nor do they need to prove it. As long as they are suspected, they will be executed on the spot! This decree has been drafted by the cabinet and filed in the Hanlin Academy. "
When the prisoners on death row heard this, they couldn't help but look desperate.
Everyone realizes that they will definitely die today.
They are all abandoned sons thrown out by the emperor and the ministers of the court.
In order to appease the Wuxiang Shenzong's anger, the imperial court even said the words "no proof required".
It can be seen how jealous the emperor and the imperial court are of the Wuxiang Shenzong.
Ji Qianqian waved his sleeves expressionlessly: "Go on! Send them on their way."
At this moment, there was a strange luster in her eyes.
She thought that Emperor Jianyuan's move was so foolish!
Whether it was the Battle of Canglangyuan or the Incident in Ten Thousand Demons Cave, there was no evidence that Emperor Jianyuan was directly involved.
However, without Emperor Jianyuan's tacit permission and even secret help in this matter, how could those forces have so easily plotted against the Wuxiang Shenzong?
The response afterwards was both embarrassing and chilling.
This is indeed a fool!
Counting money can't help but hold a knife in your hand.
The Lord has promised that he will not disturb the world for personal hatred.
However, as long as this foolish king remains in power, there will be no peace in the world.
This is the source of trouble in the world!
In the thirty-eight states of Daning, sooner or later something will happen to them because of this foolish king. Then the lives of the people will be ruined and the army will lead to disasters.
While Ji Qianqian was meditating, the "Sanchi layman" who was standing in the distance supervising the torture, laughed at me and looked at Ji Qianqian in surprise.
He actually saw that Ji Qianqian's body seemed to be burning with red flames.
The essence of this flame is the manifestation of the laws of heaven, and it is difficult for many skilled martial artists to see it.
But Ren Xiao, I have spiritual eyes and supernatural powers, and I can get a glimpse of it.
"What's going on with this woman? Suddenly she communicates with the laws of heaven, is heaven and man one?"
"I don't know, but this woman's Taoist charm suddenly increased greatly, and the laws of heaven and Taoism echoed her."
Zong Sanping also looked at the money-counting money attentively, and he thought thoughtfully: "It's a bit like completing the secret ceremony of the heavens."
"Secret ritual?" Ren laughed at me and laughed: "It's not that easy, right? What she cultivates is not the way of killing."
"The Invincible Sword she cultivated is that simple. As long as you have a sincere belief and a strong will, you can rise to the top."
Zong Sanping shook his head: "But this woman has also practiced the Taixu Xuanyi Gong, the Nine Refiners of the Ultimate Purple Gold Body and the Great Yi Invisible Arrow. It is not that easy to continue to advance."
※※※※
While Zong Sanping and Ren Xiaowo were discussing, Chu Xisheng was in the library of Wuxiang Mountain, studying the second form of the Divine Will Touching Death Knife, 'Shenxin Boundless'.
While he was participating in the research, he secretly had a strange idea.
Just because Chu Xisheng had a feeling in his mind.
The secret ritual of his own 'Divine Source Wuxiang Gong' to advance to the fourth level has almost been completed.
The secret rituals of the heavens that advance to the fourth level are generally easier than those below the fourth level.
If you don't think about the future, you can advance even without a secret ritual.
What is really difficult is to move up to a higher level. From the fourth level to the first level, each level leads to a step. Each level is more difficult than the first level.
However, Chu Xisheng clearly felt that his connection with the 'Chaos' Tiangui was getting closer.
The upward passage has been opened, and now all that is missing is the accumulation of true energy.
And in the future, if he studies 'Chaos', or 'Shadowless' and 'Wuji' Martial Intent, he can easily reach advanced realms.
"interesting--"
Chu Xisheng's mind was racing, and he immediately thought of the Iron Flag Gang.
It should be that some kind of change occurred within the Iron Banner Gang, allowing him to complete the secret ritual of the heavens at the fourth level.
Chu Xisheng originally planned to invest more time and energy in Dongzhou, but now he became more determined.
As long as he manages the Iron Banner Gang well, he might be able to reach the first level of Divine Source Wuxiang Gong.
Chu Xisheng then eliminated distracting thoughts and began to focus on the research of 'Shen Xin Boundless'.
His progress was rapid.
In just less than a day, Chu Xisheng had already understood the essence of "the mind is boundless".
This is because Chu Xisheng is using the third-level character card of Shu Huaishi, the Supreme Sword.
This was one of Chu Xisheng's trophies in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
After Shu Huaishi's death, many of the magical weapons he had with him were taken away by Chu Yunyun.
Most of these first- and second-grade powerful artifacts have the imprint of Shu Huaishi's soul and are blended with his blood.
Even after Shu Huaishi dies, no one else can use it.
However, these things can be handed over to the Heavenly Artifact Academy to refine the materials and make one or two powerful magic weapons for Chu Yunyun.
Chu Xisheng also gained a lot.
He drew more than seventy cards from Shu Huaishi's body.
Among them, there are two talent cards, and three character cards - one for the third grade, the second grade, and the first grade.
Chu Xisheng is currently using Shu Huaishi’s third-grade character card.
The superposition of 'Supreme Sword' Shu Huaishi's understanding and Chu Xisheng's own talent has enhanced his thinking, as well as his ability to understand and analyze everything to an incredible level.
The second form of Divine Will Touching the Death Knife, 'Infinite Divine Heart', can damage the soul of an ordinary fourth-grade martial artist just by looking at it.
But Chu Xisheng could understand quickly.
Probably there is a layer of something like a convex lens in the heart of the Divine Will Sword, which can condense and amplify other people's hostility and murderous thoughts.
Of course, the essence is not that simple. It involves the rules of the sky and a lot of magical knowledge.
Chu Xisheng studied the "Shen Xin Boundless" and realized that although Lord Xue Yaidao has not practiced magic, his understanding of magic is not inferior to that of many magicians.
After a moment, Chu Xisheng put down the "Death-Touching Knife of Divine Will" in his hand.
He had fully grasped the key points of the 'Infinite Mind of God', but he did not practice it immediately.
Chu Xisheng kept up his efforts, picked up the "Wuxian Tianshu Dao" on the other side of the attic and began to study it.
This is the advanced version of the "Three-Phase Heaven-Slaying Sword", the final version of the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
The Wuxiang Divine Sect's inheritance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword is much more complete than the "Divinity Touching Death Sword".
This is the most complete inheritance of the Wuxiang Divine Sect.
There are nine moves in the "Wuxian Tianshu Dao", including two near-divine moves and two divine moves.
It can be cultivated up to the twenty-ninth level. Before the twenty-fourth level, it is complete. After the twenty-fourth level, there are still some flaws, but the flaws are not major.
Chu Xisheng used up the remaining time on the character cards and happened to study the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth level among them.
This sword technique is extremely powerful, but its power is single and purer. It is not a mixture of multiple powers like the Yaizhan Sword, and is easier to understand.
Just when Chu Xisheng put down the "Shadowless Heaven-Slaying Sword" in his hand and began to try to condense the convex lens in the heart of his Divine Will Sword, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked towards the stairs.
Li Changsheng was climbing up the stairs with Chu Yunyun.
Li Changsheng glanced at Chu Xisheng from a distance, and immediately looked extremely surprised: "Are you condensing the Boundless Mind? Are you finished studying it so quickly?"
Chu Yunyun looked calm.
She knew that Chu Xisheng might have the 'Eastern Emperor Mirror' on him, so she wasn't surprised.
"Disciple has fully understood the essentials. It's quite simple."
Chu Xisheng's expression was also very strange. He found that Li Changsheng's face was actually bruised and swollen.
Chu Xisheng frowned slightly: "What's the reason for this injury on Lord Sect Master's face?"
Could it be that he was injured by someone from the Divine Sword Sect?
Late last night, after Li Changsheng took some time to cultivate himself, he gathered Su Feng Dao and Chu Yunyun together and aggressively went to find the Shen Dao Men Mountain, saying that they must destroy these clowns.
Li Changsheng's breath suddenly suffocated and he looked embarrassed.
Chu Yunyun glanced sideways at Li Changsheng, thinking that she still had to save some face for the sect leader, so she shook her head and said: "The Shen Dao Sect was on guard for a long time and moved to the main mountain in advance. We didn't find them."
This is the advantage of the hidden sect. There are few people and few possessions, and there is no base that must be defended.
Chu Xisheng was even more confused when she heard this. Since Li Changsheng didn't find anyone, where did he get this injury?
Then his heart moved and he guessed the reason.
