In the palace, under the steps of the Glazed Palace.
Ao Hanyi was wearing a gorgeous blue dress and had a graceful figure. At this time, she was bowing to the old man on the throne!
"Reporting to Grandpa, this news was provided by the top master in Dajing, the Tianji Pavilion enshrinement... You should have heard of this strong man during this time."
The old man narrowed his eyes and suppressed the excitement in his heart: "I have indeed heard about that strong man... But even if the news is false, it is better than no news at all!"
"Exactly this!"
Ao Hanyi responded with a smile.
"Without further ado, Hanyi!" The old man stood up from the throne, his eyes gleaming: "Let's set off now and go to the demon world!"
"Ah? Grandpa, are you going too?"
Ao Hanyi was stunned for a moment!
The old man said: "Don't we have to pass through the capital of Dajing on the way? Grandpa also stopped by to visit this peerless powerful man... The Immortal Cliff in the Demon Realm is not so easy to explore. We need to be extremely cautious then. !”
"yes!"
After a while.
The roar of the dragon stirred up a monstrous sea tide, and huge shadows swam across the clouds, with powerful auras, heading towards the west!
...
The next day, the capital of Dajing.
In a mansion not close to the imperial city.
The backyard was shrouded in a faint bloody barrier.
Below, a dozen frightened girls were bundled up and thrown into a corner. Their clothes were ragged and stained with blood!
At this moment, heart-rending cries could be heard in the main room!
They are the ones who have been kidnapped by flower pickers these days.
Some of them tried to escape several times, but they were all killed on the spot!
After a few hellish days.
All their inner hopes were dashed!
Because from the conversation between the master of the mansion and his servants, they knew that this person was very powerful, so powerful that no one in this capital except Her Majesty the Empress, looked down upon him!
suddenly!
The door of the house opened with a bang, frightening a group of girls to shrink back into the corner again!
The scene inside is revealed.
A little girl has empty eyes, and the owner of this mansion...an old man with stern eyes and gray hair and beard is walking out of the house licking his lips!
He looked at the frightened women, but he didn't seem to find the one he wanted.
Displeasure immediately showed in his eyebrows!
"Somebody come!"
"Elder Sun, my subordinates are here."
A servant appears.
The accent they used when communicating in private was very strange, not Dajing Mandarin at all.
But a girl who recognized the old devil said that he looked like an official in the imperial court...
"Yingyi and the others went out last night, why haven't they come back yet? It shouldn't take that long to attack the undefended Princess Mingle's mansion, right?"
The old devil asked.
"Back...back to the elders, my subordinates don't know, but they did not return all night!"
"Then go and find out!"
The old devil said angrily: "I couldn't catch a girl on Dongzhi Street before, but now I can't even catch Princess Mingle without an escort!"
"Do you know that this elder only needs to pluck one more female child to achieve a breakthrough and become an immortal!"
"If the last girl can be Princess Mingle and be tainted with a little bit of Dajing's dragon energy, then my future achievements will not be inferior to those four human emperors!!"
The old devil threw the servant out with one palm.
The moment he took action, he was undoubtedly at the peak of the imperial rank!
If people who are familiar with him in the capital see this scene, they will definitely be shocked... This Shilang Sun usually looks like a half-buried old man, but he actually conceals such a level of cultivation! ?
"yes..."
The servant didn't dare to disobey, so he got up despite the severe pain and went outside to inquire.
At this time!
The old devil's eyes turned to those poor girls again.
Show a greedy smile!
"Don't be afraid. After I finish picking Princess Mingle tonight, I will take you to Mobei, where you will enjoy real bliss!"
The girls had frightened eyes and shook their heads desperately!
The old devil walked over slowly, just about to pick one out and practice his skills first.
However!
The man who went out just now came back quickly, walked up to the old devil with an ugly expression, and whispered about the situation.
The aura on the old devil's body suddenly became violent!
"A bunch of trash!!"
"If you can't even take down Princess Mingle, what do I want from you?!"
"If we could catch her last night, we can return to the Immortal Palace as planned today! Why bother living in the capital of Dajing, being a bird servant?!"
The servant quickly stepped back and knelt down: "What the elder said is that we also want to return to the Immortal Palace... It's just that something unexpected happened at Princess Mingle's house. Do we still want to continue to take action?"
The old devil panted heavily, but waved his hand.
"We've already alerted the enemy. If we go any further, we'll die!"
He pondered for a moment, took out a list from his arms, and his eyes slowly fell on a name in the middle.
"This Lin Tan'er from Dongzhi Street seems a bit unusual, right?"
"To be able to kill two outer disciples of my Immortal Palace at such a young age, there must be some secret... For the last one, I just chose her!"
The servant nodded: "Then I will do it now..."
The old devil suddenly interrupted and said with a sinister smile: "No, it's the last one anyway. You are here to look after the house. I, the elder... will go in person tonight!"
"yes!"
...
At noon, Gu Mansion!
Gu Lan was reading a book, constantly extracting cultivation skills and techniques from the book.
[You have read the last chapter of "Four Books and Five Classics", and the cultivation level is +100 years]
[You wrote an article "Liao Zhai", your cultivation level is +20 years, and you have obtained the imperial-level spell Soul Search]
【...】
Gu Lang didn't want to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but this thing was related to the main mission, and the cultivation level he could get for free was several times that of other idle books.
"Emperor Soul Searching Technique...Hey! If I had obtained this last night, I might have been able to find out the lair of those flower-picking thieves!"
Gu Lan murmured, quite regretful!
Although this technique is not yet at the level of an immortal, it is extremely functional. It can directly read the memories of living people without the memory fragments left after the death of the demon clan!
Gu Lan didn't want such annoying things to happen again in the future, so he immediately focused on the true meaning of this technique.
And at the same time!
Outside the mansion.
Two rows of palace maids and eunuchs arrived quickly, led by Sima Qin who held the imperial edict in his hand!
Sima Qin passed by Liu Yexi who was waiting at the door. The two of them spoke in low voices and had a simple exchange.
"Are you ready for what His Majesty ordered?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, it's all in this imperial edict."
"Okay! You can go in by yourself. The provincial palace officials will start shouting when they see Your Majesty."
"good..."
Sima Qin then walked into the courtyard alone.
He spread his hands and opened the bright yellow imperial edict, which startled the old Yangtou who hurriedly came out of the concierge!
"The Holy One has a decree, Mr. Gu, please listen to it!"
With a strong voice, Old Yang immediately knelt down.
When the imperial edict reaches home, the Prime Minister reads it in person... In Lao Yangtou's view, this is a major event that honors the ancestors!
And in the study room.
The Empress is looking for me?
Damn it! We didn't even see each other yesterday, so how could anything happen? ... Gu Lan frowned after hearing this and secretly said trouble!
but.
He finally got up and walked out slowly.
Sima Qin was very discerning. After seeing the figure in green clothes, he started to read out the decree before Gu Lan came closer!
After all, the empress had to kneel for him at night. How could a minister like Sima Qin dare to ask him to kneel? !
"The Holy One has a decree: Yesterday I watched the end of the game and saw that Mr. Gu's chess skills were very exquisite, so I invite Mr. Gu to the palace today. I want to see it with my own eyes... Mr. Gu, please accept the order!"
Gu Lan: "..."
