High in the sky at night, the moon is like a scimitar.
Outside the city, on the bank of the barrier lake, the cold wind was blowing, and there were few people around. No one could be seen for a long time, and because a shocking battle broke out a few days ago, the lake burst its banks and was devastated, adding a bit of a sinister and sinister atmosphere. No one will come here for no reason.
However, under this scene, lights appeared inexplicably in the lakeside pavilion, as well as tea sets, boiling water, and fragrant tea, all over it, and it turned out to be a rather peaceful scene.
In the pavilion, Qin Dong had already taken off his disguise and was cooking tea with peace of mind. He didn't stop until he changed the third course of tea and waited silently.
At this moment, half a day has passed since the battle at Huangji Daofu. Qin Dong believes that with Huangfu Jinglun's ability, whether it is restoring strength or handling follow-up matters, it should be almost completed.
When the trouble was solved, Qin Dong had already observed that although Huangfu Jinglun was seriously injured, he did not become a disabled person, but suffered a lot of physical pain.
Perhaps...the seven major families did not take Huangfu Jinglun seriously from beginning to end, so they were not in a hurry to destroy the dean.
"Yo~!"
After waiting for less than half an hour, suddenly, a clear cry of beasts sounded in the night sky, and immediately, a dark and huge whirlwind eagle king fell from the clouds and appeared above the barrier lake.
Immediately afterwards, another white figure jumped into the air and fell steadily into the pavilion. He looked at Qin Dong with eyes filled with joy. It was Huangfu Jinglun!
After not seeing each other for a long time, the master and disciple not only showed no signs of indifference, but instead looked at each other and smiled, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere before, and each understood the other's feelings.
Qin Dong was not in a hurry to reveal his identity just to protect Huangfu Jinglun.
And Huangfu Jinglun suffered this hardship because he was trying to protect Qin Dong, and that's why he ended up like this.
When we meet again, we already understand each other tacitly, so why bother to point it out?
Even so, when he saw Qin Dong again, Huangfu Jinglun was still filled with emotion and lamented: "I really don't know, how on earth did you practice? It's only been more than a month, and your strength is very close to mine? It seems like As a master, I am really incompetent. I haven’t even taught you anything, and I’m about to be overtaken by my apprentice. I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed..."
"Master, you don't have to be like this. If it weren't for the seven major families and the pursuit of the seventh prince, I might not have been able to break through so fast!"
Qin Dong stood up, bowed respectfully first, then took Huangfu Jinglun and sat down in the pavilion, saying: "Once a teacher, always a father. No matter when, in Qin Dong's heart, you will always be there." He is my mentor..."
Seeing that Qin Dong was so sincere, even though his strength far exceeded his own, without a hint of arrogance, Huangfu Jinglun said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, I did not misjudge the person when I became a teacher!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what is the reason for your return this time? If it is just for the matter of Huangji Taoist Palace, now that it has been dealt with, why not leave Yanjing City as soon as possible? , otherwise, those people from the seven major families will never give up..."
"Master, don't worry. My return to the Holy Empire this time is not just to solve the troubles in the academy, but also to deal with important matters."
Qin Dong said bluntly.
"Important thing? You kid, you are still a sinner of the Holy Empire. Not only the seven major families, but also the entire Holy Empire, there are countless people who want to kill you quickly and get the reward. He has already exceeded 10 billion, and he is still qualified to be awarded the title of fifth-grade military attache!!"
Huangfu Jinglun said anxiously.
Fifth grade military attache!
With this kind of status, he can be considered a powerful character even in the royal city.
In order to bring Qin Dong to justice, the Holy Empire actually increased the bounty time and time again. If nothing else happened, Yan Jinghong's death should have been reported back to the Empire by someone who was interested.
In recent times, the seven major families have repeatedly sent people to take action, all of which were defeated by the Qianlong Empire. In the end, all these hatreds were recorded on Qin Dong's head.
This also makes Qin Dong's bounty in the Holy Empire rise again and again. Whoever kills him can soar into the sky, leap over the dragon's gate in an instant, and become a "great hero" in the Holy Empire!
Under such a predicament, Qin Dong still dared to return to the Holy Empire. In Huangfu Jinglun's view, this was no different from throwing himself into a trap.
No matter how strong Qin Dong is, he can't defeat the seven major families and countless forces.
What's more, there are many Saint Yuan realm masters among the seven major families.
These people are powerful and have many secret techniques. Maybe someone will be able to restrain Qin Dong. Therefore, from a theoretical point of view, it is better for Qin Dong to leave the Holy Empire as soon as possible.
"Fifth-grade military attache? It seems that those old stubborns in the empire really want to destroy me."
After Qin Dong heard this, he couldn't help but sneered and narrowed his eyes.
The news that he has reached the ninth level of the divine power realm has not spread. I believe that those in the Holy Empire still don't know about it. In order to kill a 'weak' self, the Holy Empire offered such a sky-high reward. This shows how unpopular he is within the empire.
Originally, after becoming a disciple of the Immortal Sect, Qin Dong had no sense of belonging to the Holy Empire. After all, in the eyes of immortal cultivators, whether it is a medium empire, a high empire, or even a super empire, there is only one general name, and that is the secular world.
Under normal circumstances, people in the Immortal Sect will not participate in the battles in the secular world. Even if there is a war between countries, or the country is destroyed, the Immortal Sect will not take action.
But now, with the Holy Empire treating him like this, Qin Dong naturally feels cold in his heart, and will never take the bullshit Holy Empire in his eyes again.
"Man is a swordsman, and I am fish and meat. Since you regard me as fish and meat, what difference does it make whether you have the feeling of hometown or not!"
Qin Dong secretly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Qin Dong, no matter what other priorities you have, you can no longer stay in this Holy Empire. Fortunately, you did not expose your identity today. Those who have infiltrated from the seven major families are almost scared to death by you. I didn’t even say anything, but they were all scared to death, took the initiative to hand in their resignations, and left Huangji Taoist House.”
Huangfu Jinglun said that the terror of the cloaked man had long turned into a nightmare-like existence within the Huangji Taoist House. In addition, two important figures of the Ji family and the Jun family had died in the hands of the cloaked man. The rest of the people had witnessed It didn't work out, so they all just evacuated.
If they continue to stay in Huangji Taoist Mansion, no one among the seven major families knows when they will encounter the cloaked man again. In order to survive, they naturally pack up and leave as soon as possible.
Without the continued infiltration of people from the seven major families, Yuan Qiu Shan has once again become the head of the Senate. In a short time, the Huangji Taoist House will be safe for the time being.
That's why Huangfu Jinglun was worried about Qin Dong, fearing that this boy would be overconfident and careless, and lose his life in the hands of the seven major families.
"It's good that the troubles at Huangji Daofu are solved. That way, I'll feel at ease."
Qin Dong was convinced, picked up the purple clay pot, poured another cup for Huangfu Jinglun, and said: "To be honest, master, I came back this time in the name of the Immortal Sect to investigate the treacherous people on the table of the seven major families. I don't know the royal city." How much do you know about corpse refining and evil cultivators that have appeared recently?"
"It turns out that your sudden return was because of this matter!"
Huangfu Jinglun's expression changed slightly: "The corpse refining in the royal city has become an unsolved case. There is already a young minister in Dali Temple. For this case, his eyes were gouged out, his limbs were cut off, and his body was hung like a gourd outside the city. Above the south gate, if you continue to pursue it, I'm afraid you'll be in a lot of trouble, not to mention you are a wanted criminal..."
