Xuankang City.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, connected to the Xuanjiang River on the outside and the canal on the inside, it is the administrative seat of Jiangzhou.
With a large flow of people and busy traffic, it is also the most prosperous city in the entire Jiangzhou, and even the entire south of Daxuan.
Even compared to Xuanyang, there is no concession.
Markets gather on both sides of the canal, especially Jiaofangsi on the south bank of the canal, which is where famous actors gather. The legendary reputation of Jiangzhou's thin horse first spread from here.
It was night at this time, and in the night sky, more than ten escaping lights, flashing with various colors of light, flashed through the air and landed at the gate of the Changsheng Palace Guardhouse in the north of Xuankang City.
Taoist Qingling was the first to reveal his figure, with Jin Mingbi and others tied up behind him.
At the entrance of the Hall of Eternal Life, two seventh-grade captains saw that the person in front of them was Taoist Qingling. Their expressions tightened and they came to greet him: "Master Immortal, you are back."
"Um."
"Qianhu is waiting for you in the front hall and asks you to go see him immediately when you come back."
The two seventh-grade captains did not know what kind of mission Qingling Taoist was going out to perform. They just told Taoist Qingling what Qianhu said at the Changsheng Palace Guard Station.
Taoist Qingling nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then led everyone into the Hall of Eternal Life.
"You put these people in prison, and I will take Jin Mingbi to report to Tian Qianhu."
Taoist Qingling walked into the door, suddenly turned his head and gave instructions to the people behind him.
Everyone nodded with stiff expressions and escorted everyone from the Ye family to the prison of the Eternal Life Palace.
Taoist Qingling took Jin Mingbi alone and walked towards the front hall of Changsheng Hall.
The front hall of the Palace of Eternal Life.
Qianhuda Haiwang from the Jiangzhou Guard of the Changsheng Palace was giving instructions to one of his subordinates. When he saw Master Qingling coming back, he immediately looked at him with a smile on his face: "Master Qingling is back."
"Fortunately, my subordinates have brought him back and imprisoned him in prison."
Taoist Qingling said respectfully, then pointed behind him: "This is Jin Mingbi."
When Jin Mingbi saw Tian Haiwang, he glared angrily and said: "Tian Haiwang, I am the person who was elected in Jiaming for ten years, and I have a great reputation. Why do you arrest me?"
"Master Ye will definitely impeach you!"
When Tian Haiwang heard Jin Mingbi's words, his face immediately darkened and he said to the subordinate: "Go out and guard the door first. No one is allowed in."
When the subordinates heard the words, they glanced at Taoist Qingling and Jin Mingbi with doubts, but still followed the words.
Seeing the subordinate retreating, Tian Haiwang flicked his wrist and opened several formations in the front hall. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I ask you to kill them directly?"
"Why did you bring it back?"
Taoist Qingling said with a smile: "Sir, after my subordinates captured Jin Mingbi, they heard about a big event."
"What's the big deal?"
Tian Haiwang asked in surprise and looked at Taoist Qingling.
"The big thing is..."
Qingling Taoist said slowly, raised his head, green light flashed in his eyes, and met Ueda Haiwang's gaze.
Tian Haiwang and Taoist Qingling looked at each other, and then their souls were controlled by the green light. Their expressions suddenly froze. Without any chance of resistance, they were already controlled by the soul-stirring technique.
Taoist Qingling was transformed into He Ping'an.
"Tian Haiwang, why do you want to arrest people from the Ye family?"
He Pingan asked.
"On the orders of the acting governor, I arrested the members of the Ye family and killed them without mercy."
Tian Haiwang said stiffly, with a jerky tone.
"What benefits did Dai Yunlin promise you, and you worked so hard for him?"
He Ping'an continued to ask, even if Dai Yunlin is the governor of Jiangzhou, Tian Haiwang is also a member of the Thousand Households of Changsheng Palace and a third-grade martial artist. How could he easily collude with Dai Yunlin in such a major treasonous matter.
"Sir, he promised me..."
Just as Tian Haiwang said a few words, there was a sudden violent fluctuation in the sea of consciousness.
Then the sea of consciousness began to collapse from the middle, but in one breath, his entire sea of consciousness turned into nothingness, and his soul dissipated without a trace.
"Sure enough, there are restrictions..."
He Ping'an murmured to himself, Tian Haiwang in front of him seemed to have no wounds on his body, but his soul disappeared and he had already lost all his vitality.
He had guessed before that since Dai Yunlin dared to send the monks from the Eternal Life Palace to hunt down the Ye family, he should have completely taken control of the Eternal Life Palace.
The matter of treason involves a lot. Even the thousands of households in the Changsheng Palace should not betray Daxuan for some petty gains.
"The Sword Comes"
Dai Yunlin or the person behind him must have other means to control Tian Haiwang.
Therefore, He Ping'an did not directly search for souls. Instead, he used the relatively mild method of soul-catching to ask questions from the side, but it still triggered the restriction in Tian Haiwang's body.
When Jin Mingbi saw Tian Haiwang, his body suddenly softened and fell to the ground with a "pop". Only then did he realize that Tian Haiwang was dead.
He asked with a look of horror: "Senior, what's going on?"
This is simply terrible, killing people invisibly.
"You come with me!"
He Ping'an's face remained as usual. He turned around and transformed into Tian Haiwang. Then he waved his sleeves and turned into a dark golden light, carrying Jin Mingbi up and flying towards the governor's Yamen.
Even a true immortal may not be able to arrange such an exquisite restriction on the sea of consciousness. He Ping'an guessed that the restriction in Tian Haiwang's body was not arranged by Dai Yunlin.
In this way, there will be room for maneuver.
As long as I am fast enough, I can get the truth from Dai Yunlin before the news of Tian Haiwang's death reaches Dai Yunlin's ears.
"Uh-huh!"
He Ping'an's figure was like electricity, and he activated the golden light across the ground with all his strength. In less than three breaths, he had already arrived at the governor's Yamen from the Changsheng Palace Guardhouse.
Ignoring the layers of light that shrouded the governor's yamen, He Ping'an's figure directly broke through the formation and landed in the back hall.
Then he threw out a formation disk and quietly enveloped a study room.
His consciousness glanced at Dai Yunlin, who was writing something on a piece of rice paper in the study.
He Ping'an's golden light disappeared and he knocked on the door of the wing with one hand: "Dudu..."
"Tachito, come in!"
Dai Yunlin didn't even raise his head and said directly to He Ping'an outside the door.
His spiritual consciousness had long discovered that Tian Haiwang and Jin Mingbi broke through the formation and arrived here with anxious expressions, so there were not many surprises.
At this time, several patrolling school lieutenants discovered something unusual about the formation and rushed here. However, they heard Dai Yunlin's dull voice: "This is Tian Qianhu. I have something important to do with you. Please retreat." Down."
"Yes, sir!"
A leading school captain heard Dai Yunlin's voice and quickly led everyone to retreat.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
As soon as He Pingan saw everyone leaving, he quickly spoke anxiously.
Dai Yunlin stood by the desk and did not raise his head when he heard He Ping'an's words. He said unhurriedly: "Tian Qianhu, how many times have I told you, whenever big things happen, be calm and don't be impatient. "
As he spoke, the langhao pen in his hand was filled with ink and fell on the rice paper. The pen moved quickly and smoothly, and the word "quiet" with an iron calligraphy and a silver hook fell on the paper.
"Sir, it's not that I'm impatient, but it's true that something big has happened."
He Pingan said with a slightly anxious and frightened expression.
But with a pinch of his fingers, he activated the formation disk covering the study, isolating the world here, and no message could be transmitted in.
Looking at Dai Yunlin's performance, he guessed that the news of Tian Haiwang's death over there had not yet reached Dai Yunlin.
When Dai Yunlin heard this, he said "Oh", and the wolf-hair pen in his hand paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at He Ping'an for the first time.
As soon as He Ping'an saw this person's appearance, he was stunned. It was actually this person.
The Dai Yunlin in front of him was wearing a scarlet official uniform with an elegant face. He was none other than the elegant middle-aged man he saw in Yi Dan Pavilion who killed the turtle demon Leo.
At that time, Dai Yunlin was still the chief envoy of Qingzhou, ranking second in rank.
Now, he has gone from Qingzhou Chief Envoy to Jiangzhou Governor and has been promoted to the second rank.
Moreover, Jiangzhou is a land of plenty and is many times richer than Qingzhou.
Therefore, it seems that Dai Yunlin has only been promoted by half a level, but in fact, he is already much stronger than the Qingzhou Chief Envoy back then.
I don’t know how much role the Turtle Demon Demon Pill carrying the Xuanwu bloodline played in this.
Seeing He Pingan's expression suddenly fluctuate, Dai Yunlin chuckled: "Tian Qianhu, what is the big event that makes you so anxious?"
"I am all ears."
"Sir, I am following your order and sent people to kill everyone in the Ye family."
"But when he was about to kill Jin Mingbi, this guy was afraid to beg for mercy, but he said that there was a big deal that was related to your life and mine, and he had to report it to you, so I brought him here."
He Ping'an said as he opened the ban on Jin Mingbi's speech.
"oh."
Dai Yunlin turned his eyes and looked at Jin Mingbi aside.
At this moment, a communication talisman as dark as ink on the horizon quietly passed through the large formation of the governor's office and arrived outside the study.
However, he was blocked by the restrictions outside the study and could not enter the study.
Then the restriction glowed with dark golden light, quietly wrapping the black communication talisman in it.
Dai Yunlin in the study room was completely unaware, still waiting for Jin Mingbi's answer.
After being released from the restraint, Jin Mingbi took a deep breath, and then begged: "Sir, I have already figured it out, it is better to die than to live. I will tell you this, and I just ask you to let me live. "
Dai Yunlin glanced at Jin Mingbi and saw that he didn't look like he was pretending. He said calmly: "Jin Mingbi, you have no room for bargaining."
The implication is that if you don't want to say it, I have many ways to get you to say it.
Jin Mingbi sneered and said: "Sir, if you want to search for souls by force, you are wrong. My consciousness has been restricted by that expert. Unless I take the initiative to tell you, there is no way you can know it. .”
When Dai Yunlin heard this, he didn't care at all. His chest burst with righteousness and he said majestically: "Say!"
Quietly, he had already used the magical power of speaking and speaking.
However, when Jin Mingbi had the unfailing power of speaking and speaking in the past, it only made him look hideous and have a splitting headache, but he could not utter a single word.
When Dai Yunlin saw this scene, a strange look appeared on his face and he said: "There really is a master!"
His cultivation level is the second level of Confucianism and Taoism. If his cultivation level is lower than the second level, it is impossible to exempt him from the magical power of speaking and speaking. Now that Jin Mingbi can resist it, the master who set the restriction is at least the second level. Cultivation.
He was not surprised by such a restriction. There was a similar restriction in his own sea of consciousness...
Jin Mingbi endured the pain and struggled to say: "Dai Yunlin, will you let me go?"
"Okay, I promise you."
When Dai Yunlin saw this scene, he immediately agreed without any hesitation.
No matter what the reason is for such an expert to appear, he needs to understand it clearly.
Now that big event is getting closer and closer, there can be no mistakes.
Hearing Dai Yunlin's promise, Jin Mingbi showed a smile that was meant to survive a disaster, and said, "Master Dai, you should know that I am a disciple of Master Zizhu."
"Um."
Dai Yunlin nodded, he had indeed heard about this matter.
When Jin Mingbi was studying in Xuanyang, he attended several classes under the disciple Zizhu, and from then on he regarded himself as a disciple of Zizhu.
"The restrictions in the lower body were placed by layman Zizhu."
Jin Mingbi continued, looking at Dai Yunlin to see his reaction.
Unexpectedly, Dai Yunlin's expression did not change, but he urged: "To tell the important point, could it be that the important thing you are talking about is this Zizhu layman?"
His voice was relaxed, and there was no hint of fear on his part.
Even, the Langhao pen in his hand was swung again, and he started practicing calligraphy again.
Jin Mingbi felt a thump in his heart, but said with a smile: "Of course not."
"After I escaped from Xuankang City, I summoned this layman Zizhu and told him what happened here."
"And he also responded to the message, saying that he had reported the matter to the Dragon Riding Martial Saint."
"The Dragon Riding Martial Saint will contact me when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yunlin Gujing Bubo's face finally changed drastically.
With a flick of his wrist, what he had just written turned to one side.
He may not be afraid of the first-grade Confucian scholar Zizhu layman, but he has to be afraid of the dragon-riding martial saint with his evil reputation.
According to what the Gu Immortal said, the Dragon Riding Martial Saint had already killed the Prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea before killing Emperor Jiaming. Even the Demon God of the Dragon King of the East China Sea had his body chopped into pieces before his soul escaped.
On behalf of Yunlin, he thought that he could not resist such a power that shocked the world and made the gods cry.
Even the Gu Immortal behind him and the demon god behind the Gu Immortal may not be able to resist.
"Has the Dragon Riding Martial Saint contacted you?"
Dai Yunlin asked, while secretly cursing in his mind why he didn't capture the Ye family earlier.
Jin Mingbi shook his head slowly and said sadly: "Until today, the Dragon Riding Martial Saint has not contacted me. Otherwise, how could I be captured by you and others."
"No contact yet?"
"Then there is something to be done."
Dai Yunlin looked happy, waved his hand and held out a dark communication talisman. After whispering a few words, the communication talisman suddenly cut through the sky and flew towards the outside of the study.
In his eyes, the communication talisman seemed to have flown to the southern wasteland.
In fact, this communication talisman was blocked by He Ping'an's restriction and was trapped in the talisman array.
"Sir, what should we do?"
He Ping'an asked with a frightened look on his face, as if he had been frightened out of his mind after hearing about the reputation of the Dragon Riding Martial Saint.
"Why are you panicking!"
Dai Yunlin scolded with disdain, if it weren't for the fact that Tian Haiwang was at the third level of martial arts, second only to himself and the commander Yue Hongfeng in strength, and was in charge of the Palace of Eternal Life, he would have really wanted to kick such a pig teammate out of the team.
However, this person still has some uses. When Dai Yunlin thought of this, his expression softened a lot, and he said warmly: "Tian Qianhu, don't worry, although the Dragon Riding Martial Saint has a vicious reputation, the Gu Immortal has been waiting for him for a long time."
"This time, it's fine if he doesn't come to southern Xinjiang. If he comes, he will never come back."
He Ping'an still looked unbelieving: "That murderous man is someone who even the late emperor dared to kill."
"Sir, can you explain to me what methods Gu Immortal has to deal with him?"
"Otherwise, I really don't want to get involved in this matter. It's too terrible."
Dai Yunlin saw this and sneered: "Now, you can't just not participate if you want to."
He Ping'an's expression changed and he said coldly: "What do you mean by your words?"
Dai Yunlin: "Use your spiritual consciousness and carefully explore your own sea of consciousness, and you'll know."
Hearing this, He Ping'an pretended to look inside the sea of consciousness. After ten breaths, he asked with an ugly face: "Why is there a restriction in my sea of consciousness?"
Dai Yunlin sneered: "Do you still remember the pill you took half a month ago?"
"You mean..." He Ping'an's expression changed drastically, and he immediately seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right. On the surface, that elixir can improve one's cultivation level, but in fact it has been secretly mixed with restrictions by the Gu Immortal."
Dai Yunlin sneered.
He Pingan's face was gray and full of regret, and he murmured: "I should have known that seeking the skin of a tiger would not end well..."
Seeing his depressed expression, Dai Yunlin comforted him again: "Master Tian, don't worry, Gu Immortal is not the only one this time."
"In addition to the Gu Immortal, he has also united with the four demon gods, the eight demon immortals, and more than three hundred demon kings. He invites all the demons in the world to go to southern Xinjiang to help in the boxing. It's fine if the dragon-riding martial saint doesn't come. I will definitely keep him in southern Xinjiang."
He Ping'an was shocked, this Gu Immortal thought highly of him and actually arranged for so many transcendent masters.
Not to mention the more than 300 upper-level third-level demon kings, the four demon gods and eight demon immortals alone are enough to feed oneself.
Fortunately, he got the information in advance. Otherwise, if he rushed into southern Xinjiang like a fool, he would be able to escape. I'm afraid he would be like Han Li back then and fall into the siege of the demon gods and return seriously injured.
"real?"
He Pingan asked with fear on his face.
"When did I ever lie to you?"
Dai Yunlin had a calm look on his face, and then said with a calm smile: "Our mission is to keep a good eye on Jiangzhou until Emperor Longqing leads a personal expedition and the army enters southern Xinjiang, and then cuts off their supply and retreat. "
"If they have no way to pray to heaven and no way to sue earth, our mission will be accomplished."
"When the time comes, Lord Gu Immortal will reward you based on your merits and give us the opportunity to advance to transcendence. It is not impossible to give half of Daxuan to you and me."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Speaking of this, Dai Yunlin's face showed a trace of obsession and madness, and he laughed wildly.
It seemed that an exciting scene had appeared in front of him.
