Zang Yeqing leaned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Reporting to the leader of the village, since yesterday I learned about the death of the two undercover agents Lynx and Yunlu. I immediately went to the entrance of Longshou Mountain and checked In the past two days, all the people and caravans who have entered and exited the realm of Yaowei Palace have been here."
"Nothing suspicious was found, right?" Seeing Zang Ye Qing's obvious pause, Jia Jinshan understood that judging from the books, there was no problem.
"Master Mingjian!" Zang Yeqing flattered him without leaving any trace, and then continued: "Later, my subordinates specially summoned all the little demons on duty in the trapped dragon village who were responsible for guarding this temple. , see if they find anything suspicious."
This trapped dragon village is one of the seven villages that is responsible for guarding the entire Yaoming Palace. Its responsibilities are basically the same as those of Wuyuan Village. The only difference is that the people in Wuyuan Village are in the dark, while the people in Trapped Dragon Village are in the light.
After Jiugui and Mu Jingyu entered Longshou Mountain, they met Commander Bai, the spirits in Wangxian Tower who monitored many caravans, and the little monsters patrolling back and forth. They were all members of Quelong Village.
"Then what?" Jia Jinshan tapped the table.
Zang Yeqing said: "No matter the guards guarding Longshou Mountain or the people patrolling back and forth, they found nothing suspicious. But from the mouths of several little demons monitoring the caravans in Wangxian Tower, my subordinates learned that I know that just the day before yesterday, they saw the two envoys Lynx and Yunlu in Wangxian Tower. But then, they suddenly left Wangxian Tower, as if they were following someone."
"Oh?" Jia Jinshan exclaimed, "Can I ask clearly who they are following?"
"This... I don't know." Zang Yeqing said: "However, after my subordinates learned the news, they concluded that the person they were tracking should be the murderer of the two inspectors. The subordinates followed closely Then disperse the troops and order them to secretly visit the hills in the palace to see if any suspicious people appear."
After saying this, Zang Yeqing hesitated for a moment, and without waiting for Jia Jinshan to ask, he continued: "After a whole day of secret visits and open inspections, there are no abnormalities in the other villages and peaks. It's just that yesterday evening, I had been living in seclusion. The Qijue scholar from Zhenleize Zhong suddenly appeared in Wuyuan Village and said that he promised the village owner to brew Junshan Yinsu Tea. Ask him to immediately send two of his men to follow him to Zhenlei Zezhong to help."
"My subordinates sent men and horses to guard outside Zhenleize. Just this morning, I saw Qijue Scholar leading the two commanders of Wuyuan Village, Black Bear and Qinglang, to Danchan Mountain. Logically speaking It is said that Wuyuan Village is responsible for the supply of materials in the palace, so it is not inappropriate to ask Qijue Scholar to make Junshan Yinsu Tea. And it is not unprecedented for Qijue Scholar to go to Danchan Mountain to ask for some medicinal materials. However, the subordinates still feel that ...There seems to be something fishy in it.”
Jia Jinshan's brows were knitted tightly together, and he knocked on the table and said, "What you mean is that Lynx and Yunlu were brutally murdered when they discovered someone suspicious. The person who came here was going to Zhenlei Zezhong, are you looking for Qijue Scholar? But why do they want to go to Danchan Mountain?"
Zang Yeqing said: "This is just something suspicious that my subordinates have found out. As for whether they went to find Qijue Scholars and why they went to Danchan Mountain, I don't know. However, in these two days, the entire Yaoming This is the only unusual thing that happened in the world of the palace."
"Dan Chan Mountain? Qijue Scholar? A competition between the Alchemy Demon and the Medical Immortal?" Jia Jinshan asked three questions in succession, and then his brows relaxed, as if he had figured out the connection.
"Okay, I already know about this. You take the troops and continue to monitor Danchan Mountain. If you find anything happening, report it to me immediately."
"I obey!" Zang Yeqing stood up, cupped his hands, and walked backward out of the side hall.
After Jia Jinshan pondered for a moment, he walked out from another place, summoned his immortal treasure, the thunder-breaking mountain stick, stood on it, and flew towards the Yaoming Palace in the distance.
Yaoming Palace is located in the hinterland of Zhanzhou in the South China Sea. The terrain was originally relatively flat, but when it got here it suddenly rose up to thousands of feet. High mountains and deep gorges rise from the ground, forming a majestic mountain range from east to west, which suddenly elevates the terrain of Zhanzhou in the South China Sea.
The Yaoning Palace was built on Que Mountain among the majestic mountains.
I saw a tall peak towering among the mountains. The top of the mountain is covered with white snow that never melts all year round. Looking from a distance, the top of the white mountain peaks are almost connected to the white clouds.
Looking further down, the thousand-foot-high mountain peak was surrounded by green vegetation. However, what is surprising is that patches of unknown blood-red trees formed three huge patterns, which were the three large blood-red characters of Demon Underworld Palace.
Under the three blood-red characters, the entire mountain was hollowed out, and countless rocks were dug into various shapes intentionally. Either palaces or pavilions and mausoleums, there are tens of thousands of natural ridges that cannot be hugged by dozens of people, lifting the entire mountain range in the air, forming this majestic and breathtaking demon ghost. temple.
Deep in Queshan Mountain, a huge cave was blasted open at the top of the mountain. The surface was covered by thousands of years of ice. The midday sun penetrated through this almost transparent layer of ice and shot straight into it. This palace is hidden deep in Magpie Mountain, providing natural light.
There was no sound in the spacious palace. Occasionally, a few voices came from the side hall. Although this side hall is not as wide as the main hall, it is more private and secluded. There is only the Wind-Eating Leopard King, one of the five kings of Demon Underworld Hall, guarding the door.
On both sides of the side hall, there are more than ten natural seats made of black crystal stones. At this moment, there are two people sitting on each side of this seat, divided into host and guest.
On the spar chair on the right, two men, an old man and a young man, with their faces covered by black cloth and wearing blue robes, were sitting on it with some restraint.
These two people were the two mysterious people that Mu Jingyu and Jiugui saw outside the cave that evening.
On the row of spar chairs on the left, Fairy Chimei, one of the four immortals of Yaoming Palace, and the Mountain Elephant King, the leader of the five beast kings, were seated.
A black curtain as thin as a cicada's wings but airtight hung in front of two rows of crystal seats, dividing the entire side hall into two. Through the black curtain, a vague figure was faintly revealed.
At this moment, the entire side hall was silent. Fairy Chimei leaned lazily on the back of the chair and looked askance at the black-faced old man directly opposite.
The black-faced old man's buttocks were half hanging on the chair. From time to time he looked at the blurry figure behind the black curtain. He suppressed the fear from his heart and explained his intention in detail. Finally, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Dear King Bei Pluto, what the envoy just said is the heartfelt words of our Lord God. I will never conceal or exaggerate in the slightest. Until North Pluto can put aside the past grudges and join forces to deal with the right path. group."
The Mountain Elephant King raised his eyes and glanced at the black-faced old man seemingly casually, but a bit of coldness shot out of it and shot directly into his eyes: "Haha, your envoy said with full sincerity. Come. But before, your god kept sending his subordinates to harass the disciples of the righteous sects, and he did not hesitate to use vicious means to kill people and seize pills. He even framed all of this on me, the Demon Hades Palace. Now, with just one sentence, you can abandon the past and expose it. If you pass..."
When the Mountain Elephant King said this, he clasped his hands and pointed at the figure behind the black curtain, and said respectfully: "Then where should I put the face of all the spirits in the Demon Hades Palace and the North Pluto King!"
A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly formed on the forehead of the black-faced old man. Hearing this, he quickly stood up, first bowed slightly to the figure behind the dark curtain, then made a half-circle bow, and said: "Before, we did do something wrong, and we still have to look at Pluto and Pluto for this. Beastmaster and Fairy forgive.”
The black-faced old man paused for a moment, and then said: "However, during this period of time, we have only framed Princess Biyun of your palace and her demons, but we have not done anything to others..."
Just as the black-faced old man was speaking, he saw the figure who had been sitting behind the dark curtain suddenly stood up, and a sharp aura instantly enveloped the entire side hall. The frightened black-faced old man couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. The originally fine beads of sweat turned into soybean-sized beads and flowed down his face.
A dull voice slowly came out from the black shadow's mouth: "Ever since the two Demon Emperors Bai Ze and Bi Luo founded this Demon Underworld Palace and gathered tens of thousands of spirits in the entire Kyushu, we and others have fallen in love with each other. We are like a family, and there has never been any factional dispute. But what your ambassador just said... seems to be vaguely saying that under the leadership of this king, Yaoming Palace will force and frame the little princess Bi Yun. If this spreads out, If I do that, wouldn’t it mean that the world would say that I, the North Pluto, secretly want to seek power and usurp the throne!”
Although, the situation in Yaowei Palace is now known to everyone and has become an open secret. But everything Bei Pluto is doing now is still against the original intention of the two Demon Emperors. After all, his body is just a toad spirit. To put it bluntly, he is not as good as some ordinary patrol envoys in Six Peaks, Seven Lakes, and Eight Villages.
Although now, 70% to 80% of the spirits in the entire Demon Nether Palace have been conquered by Bei Pluto with his heavenly cultivation, and they are either sincerely or pretending to be attached to him. However, there are still a lot of spirits who are looking towards Princess Bi Yun in their hearts. After all, she is the descendant of the ancient mythical beast Bi Fang.
Regardless of her identity or Bai Ze Demon Emperor's last words, Bi Yun is the most orthodox successor of Demon Underworld Palace. In order to appease these spirits, and to prevent himself from being infamy, King Bei Ping never publicly stated that he wanted to take over the position of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Underworld Palace.
But in this side hall, from the mouth of this black-faced old man, how could he not make King Bei Pluto angry?
In panic, the black-faced old man kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves. Just now, King Bei Pluto had just exposed his power, which made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart. From this, it can be seen that the rumors circulating in the outside world that he is about to break through to the realm of innate immortality are probably not false.
"Bei Pluto, please calm down, the little envoy just... moment... moment..."
The black-faced old man repeated the two words several times. He was sweating profusely and couldn't figure out what to do next. The corner of his eyes turned to the side involuntarily, looking at Fairy Chi Mei who was lazily slumped on the chair.
"Your Majesty." Fairy Chimei's eyes glowed slightly, she nodded slightly, and her graceful figure spread out with a faint fragrance.
"Our Demon Underworld Palace has been staying in this barren land of Zhanzhou in the South China Sea since the Heavenly Dao eradicated the demons. Everyone in the palace has long been determined to return to Kyushu to regain the lost cultivation land and the shame left by Yixue. I think ...If the two Demon Emperors Bai Ze and Bi Luo were still alive, they would not be willing to stay here forever."
After finishing speaking, Fairy Scarlet Charm looked at the silent North Pluto, and then continued: "Since this envoy comes with their divine sincerity, why should we insist on holding on to some small misunderstandings? Don’t you want to let go?”
"What the fairy said is true, what you say is true!" Hearing that Fairy Chimei had rescued him, the black-faced old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In order to show the sincerity of our Lord God, little The envoy specially brought some high-quality tributes from Xihan Yuanzhou, and I hope Northern Pluto will accept them."
The black-faced old man touched him lightly with his elbow, and the young man next to him, who had been frightened by the aura of North Pluto just now, signaled him to quickly take out the cloth bag beside him.
The Mountain Elephant King took the cloth bag and touched it with his hand. It felt cold where I started, and the cold air went straight into my bones. I guess it must be the ten-thousand-year-old ice iron unique to the Western Hanyuan State.
"Your Majesty is determined." North Pluto's faint voice sounded.
"This is what I should do." The black-faced old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw King Bei Pluto softening his expression. Then he asked: "As for this alliance, I wonder if you, King Bei Pluto..."
Before the black-faced old man could finish speaking, the door to the side hall was suddenly opened from the outside. The Wind-Eating Leopard King who had been guarding outside suddenly walked in. He looked at everyone first, then walked straight to the black screen and whispered something.
"You said Qingyun Village Master has something urgent to ask for?" Bei Ping Wang's voice was not loud enough for everyone in the side hall to hear.
The black-faced old man quickly stopped talking and said wisely: "Since King Bei Pluto has important matters now, the envoy and others will leave for now and come back to see you when you are done."
