The Hailing Sect paid a huge price this time and borrowed the special passage from the Dali Dynasty. The main purpose was to reach Yindu City and then enter the Devil May Cry Mountains.
Meng Zhang had a good relationship with Zhenjun Lu Tianshu, and neither of them inquired about their purpose from him, let alone others.
No matter what, although the Hai Ling Sect monks behave mysteriously and look mysterious, it is a good thing that they can get back to Yin Capital City in time.
And judging from their performance, the process may be a bit tortuous, but the final result should not be bad.
When the space channel opened, nothing else happened.
On the day when the space passage was opened, everyone gathered in the square where they came from, and then the ghosts and gods of Yindu City cast spells to open the passage and send everyone back to the Yang world.
When they returned to Yangshi, they happened to arrive at the square where they had gathered when they left last time.
Ouyang Jian and Zhenjun Mo Qing were escorted by two members of the royal family and arrived here with a large group of people.
The square was surrounded by strong men from the Forbidden Army.
After a simple inspection, everyone found no problems and left the square one after another.
Ouyang Jian and Zhenjun Mo Qing were escorted to Emperor Bawu for interrogation.
The two of them showed no signs of guilt and were very calm.
Emperor Bawu asked in person, but they still used the same rhetoric as in Yindu City.
Emperor Bawu knew that there were many untruths in their words. But there is no better way to get them.
To be in charge of such a large country, clear distinction between rewards and punishments is the minimum requirement.
He wouldn't search for their souls without any basis. They have no obvious fault.
Zhang Xingda's disappearance in the Devil May Cry Mountains was entirely caused by him taking the initiative to follow Ouyang Jian.
As for the ghosts, gods, Duan Ci and others who were following Ouyang Jian and the others, Emperor Bawu was even more difficult to mention.
As a king, it is normal to be suspicious, but you cannot show distrust of important ministers casually. The matter of secretly sending people to follow and monitor Ouyang Jian and the others could not be exposed to the light at all.
To be honest, Emperor Bawu still trusted Ouyang Jian.
Because Ouyang Jian and Zhenjun Mo Qing were too close, they entered the underworld together this time, which aroused his suspicion.
What Emperor Bawu really suspected was the demon cultivator, Zhenjun Mo Qing.
Even though True Lord Mo Qing has served the Dali Dynasty for many years, he has always been loyal and made countless contributions.
But Emperor Bawu's attitude towards these demonic cultivators has never changed. That is to not only take advantage of it, but also beware of it.
Originally, Emperor Bawu was planning to use some means on True Lord Mo Qing.
However, a long-planned external action of the Dali Dynasty is now reaching a critical juncture, and it is exactly when the efforts of demon cultivators like Zhenjun Mo Qing are needed.
In the face of foreign enemies, Emperor Bawu was temporarily unwilling to cause dissatisfaction among the internal demon cultivators, let alone start an internal fight.
The top priority now is to complete external operations.
The Dali Dynasty's overseas expeditions and occupation of new territories not only expanded the dynasty's territory, but also contributed to Emperor Bawu's great practice.
After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Bawu beat Ouyang Jian and True Lord Mo Qing before letting them go.
However, neither of them were allowed to leave Shangjing without the permission of Emperor Bawu.
Ouyang Jian and Zhenjun Mo Qing didn't care about this. They had no intention of escaping in the first place.
They think their hands and feet are clean enough and leave no trace behind. As long as there are no problems on Meng Zhang's side, Emperor Bawu will not seize their painful feet.
Even if Emperor Bawu Qiangang is arbitrary, he cannot deal with an old minister like Ouyang Jian without any evidence.
Of course, because this operation failed and he did not successfully seize the body of a natural ghost, Ouyang Jian had no choice but to give up his previous plan.
If Ouyang Jian succeeds this time, he will not return to the Yang world. Instead, he will develop in the underworld and create a foundation in the underworld like the Yin Capital City did.
Ouyang Jian is more than two thousand years old, and he still has more than three hundred years of life at most. His top priority now is to find another way to extend his life.
As for other things, he couldn't care about it at all.
After Meng Zhang returned to Shangjing City, he immediately returned to the station of Wuxingwei.
Feng Baoshan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming back, he couldn't help but ask.
Although Meng Zhang and Ouyang Jian are enemies, they already have a silent understanding.
After all, no one wants to bear the wrath of the Dali Dynasty and become the enemy of Yindu City.
Meng Zhang fabricated his trip to the underworld.
He left Yindu City to follow Ouyang Jian and the others. After entering the Devil May Cry Mountains, he lost track of his target because it was too dangerous and was even haunted by ghosts.
In desperation, he gave up his original plan and returned directly to Yindu City.
As for what Ouyang Jian and the others did in the Devil May Cry Mountains, he really had no way of knowing.
After hearing Meng Zhang's words, Feng Baoshan felt regretful, but he had nothing to do.
Even if Ouyang Jian and the others really had some plans in the underworld, Meng Zhang did not follow the target, let alone stop them in time.
Now that things have changed, there is nothing anyone can do.
Meng Zhang did not wait too long this time. Han Yao, the minister of Dali Temple, returned to Shangjing and took the time to meet him.
When facing Han Yao, Meng Zhang still used the same rhetoric.
For the safety of his own family and Taiyi Clan, Meng Zhang was determined to keep the secret secret.
After listening to Meng Zhang's report before, Han Yao thought he had caught Ouyang Jian and the others' sore feet.
But Meng Zhang went to the underworld to follow them, but lost him halfway.
Han Yao couldn't blame Meng Zhang. Meng Zhang had indeed tried his best.
Han Yao had also been to Devil May Cry Mountains and knew that it was very dangerous.
Not to mention monks like Meng Zhang who were in the middle stage of Yuanshen, even great monks who were in the late stage of Yuanshen did not dare to go too deep. If one is not good, his life will be in danger.
As a senior official of the Dali Dynasty, Han Yao knew that the Dali Dynasty would launch a large-scale external conquest in the near future.
Han Yao is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. Even if he is at odds with Ouyang Jian, he is not willing to cause internal strife at this time.
Not to mention, Meng Zhang's previous public killing of Ouyang Joaquin had already made Ouyang Jian ostensibly justified.
Even if Meng Zhang said that Ouyang Huajin took the initiative to die, outsiders would not believe it.
If there is a conflict with Ouyang Jian at this time, others will only think that Han Yao is aggressive.
Han Yao was in the position of Minister of Dali Temple, so he still paid great attention to other people's reputation.
Therefore, he asked Meng Zhang that since the tracking failed this time, he should not leak out the incident at will to avoid letting Ouyang Jian know.
Meng Zhang should not target Ouyang Jian and the others again before there is new evidence.
After all, Ouyang Jian was also a prince with a different surname from the Dali Dynasty. He held a high position in the court and had many party members. If he is determined to deal with Meng Zhang, Meng Zhang will also get into a lot of trouble.
Meng Zhang naturally accepted Han Yao's order happily.
