Xianbang

The night of the emperor's capital was like fog, and the lights were brightly lit. Spiritual lamps fluttered above the ancient city, like a fairy city that never sleeps.

Half a day has passed, Guo Yi took back the blue stone coffin lid, and headed towards the manor that Qin Liao gave him.

Along the way, Guo Yi's mood could not be calm, and he walked to the gate of the manor.

Qingsang Xiaozhu, this is the name of the manor.

At this time Xiao Changsheng was standing in front of the gate, he was overjoyed when he saw Guo Yi came back, and then rushed up, saying: "Master, the Fifth Prince is here."

"I know, his Golden Crow's car is parked there." Guo Yi still walked unhurriedly, while asking: "How long has he been here?"

"I came this morning, and I'm waiting for you in the hall now, Master, what do you think this guy is doing here?" Xiao Changsheng walked in front and led the way, while ordering his servants to bring tea and water, he came even more than the old housekeeper. diligent.

Guo Yi had roughly guessed Qin Liao's reason for coming. Tomorrow was the pinnacle battle. Qin Liao's coming at this time must have something to do with the pinnacle battle.

Qin Liao is an elegant scholar. He is sitting on the nanmu incense chair in the hall and looking at a secret letter. He has read this letter more than ten times, but he still does not believe that the contents of the letter are true. So he sighed more than ten times.

The candlelight in the hall was dim, and the flame of the spiritual lamp seemed to be extinguished at any moment, swaying in the night wind.

"Brother Qin, I've been waiting for a long time! I have something important to discuss with Brother Qin, but I didn't expect Brother Qin to come to the door first." Guo Yi walked into the hall with a smile.

With a wave of his hand, the whole hall was immediately surrounded by a layer of faint green mysterious fire. This is the mysterious fire barrier, which can block the sound from being eavesdropped by others.

People from the Holy Gate of Skynet penetrate into every corner. When talking about issues that shouldn't be discussed, it's better to be careful.

"Actually, I also have an important matter to discuss with you." Qin Liao said.

"The Battle of the Peak has been cancelled." The two said it almost at the same time.

The cancellation of the Battle of the Peak was very secretive. Qin Liao only got the news through a secret channel this morning. He didn't expect Guo Yi to know about it, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

Qin Liao handed the letter in his hand to Guo Yi. There was cinnabar on the letter paper, obviously it was a secret letter.

"This letter was sent to me by my uncle this morning. Someone secretly advised the Great Northern Wilderness to cancel the peak battle, write the "Star List" with the pen of Qingtian Xian, and use the power of the "Star List" to suppress the fate of the celestial dynasty. .” Qin Liao said in a low voice.

Legend has it that the Qingtian Immortal Brush is the number one fairy weapon in the Northern Wilderness, and it is a treasure left by the ancient great immortal Qingtian. This brush has magical powers, as long as the things drawn with this brush can be transformed into real objects .

Draw a celestial stone on paper, and a celestial stone will fly out of the scroll; draw a beauty, and a beauty will emerge from the scroll; draw an ancient city, and a real ancient city will appear. appear in front of you.

It can be said that as long as you master the Qingtian fairy pen, you can get everything you want, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't get.

Mastering the Qingtian Immortal Brush can compose the "Star List", and the Great Northern Wilderness's mastery of the power of the "Star List" is naturally not to suppress the national destiny of the Celestial Dynasty, but to change fate against the sky.

At this time, Guo Yi finally understood the words of the old poor ghost. It turned out that the person who wanted to write the "Star List" was the Great Northern Wilderness. Do this kind of unnatural thing.

Guo Yi took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression, "Who on earth gave the words to the Great Northern Wilderness?"

"Xiao Yunzong, the Patriarch of the Xiao family, the Grand Chancellor of the dynasty," Qin Liao said.

Dazai is the most powerful figure in the entire Celestial Dynasty under the Northern Wilderness Great Emperor. Half of the officials in the court were promoted by him. It can be said that he is high and powerful, and he is a real giant.

Qin Liao said again: "Although it was Dazai Xiao who said to the Great Emperor of the Northern Wilderness, the person who came up with this plan was not him, but someone else."

Going against the heavens, compiling the "Star List", breaking the laws of nature, and creating a wild and chaotic world, not everyone dares to do such a thing, and most people don't even dare to think about it.

Who is behind Xiao Dazai's plan?

"Who is this person?" Guo Yi asked.

Qin Liao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but recently there have been rumors in the Emperor's Capital that Xiao Dazai hired a female counselor from somewhere, and I heard that this woman is very clever, even if Dazai played chess with her, They were all ten battles and ten defeats. Her method of calculation even defeated the twelve great wise men of the Taoist level of the Tianwang Holy Gate, and she was called the number one counselor under Xiao Dazai. My uncle guessed that it was her Advising Xiao Dazai behind the scenes, the cancellation of the peak battle is also very likely to be related to her."

Smart people are not uncommon in this world. Guo Yi and Qin Liao are considered smart people, but neither of them can be regarded as the top smart people.

Those who are smart enough to see through the secrets are truly smart people. Guo Yi has only met three such people, Yun Xian'er, Su E, and Mr. Qianye.

Both Guo Yi and Qin Liao were silent, but at this moment, Xiao Changsheng's voice came from outside the hall, as if there was something important.

Guo Yi waved his hand to open the mysterious fire barrier, and asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Changsheng was sweating profusely, and stammered: "The emperor's envoy has come, bringing the emperor's decree."

And at this moment, a large colorful cloud fell from the sky, and an old man in brocade clothes stepped on the clouds and landed in the manor. Holding the emperor's decree in his hand, with a majestic expression on his face, he shouted: "The emperor's decree came, Guo Yi and Xiao Changsheng accepted the decree."

The emperor's envoy is not a real living person, but just a condensed ray of the emperor's majesty. He represents the supreme authority of the emperor. Seeing the emperor's envoy is like seeing the emperor.

There are infinitely many imperial envoys, and this old man is one of them.

As soon as the emperor's envoy landed in the manor, a huge wave of emperor power immediately pushed everyone to their knees on the ground.

Even if this old man is only condensed by a ray of emperor's prestige from the Great Northern Wilderness, this emperor's prestige is already able to crush the Taoist master to the ground.

In the hall, Guo Yi and Qin Liao looked at each other, and said in their hearts at the same time: "Here we come!"

"Welcome to the emperor's envoy." The people in the whole manor knelt down on the ground under the pressure of the emperor.

The emperor's envoy looked coldly and solemnly, and slowly opened the emperor's edict, and said majesticly: "The Great Northern Wilderness, there is no god's edict. Due to changes in the way of heaven, this peak battle is forcibly cancelled. The ranking of the "Star List" will be based on Skynet The ranking of the Holy Gate’s intelligence data, Guo Yi’s "Star Ranking" No. 30, Xiao Changsheng's "Star Ranking" No. [-] and [-]th. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can challenge the one with the highest ranking, and once the challenge is successful, you can replace the opponent's ranking."

The emperor's envoy handed over the emperor's decree to Guo Yi's hands, and said indifferently: "The top ten people in the "Star List" will get corresponding official titles. At noon tomorrow, you can go to the Ministry of Heavenly Officials to accept the distribution ceremony."

After the emperor's decree was handed over to Guo Yi, the emperor's envoy rushed up again, stepping on the colorful clouds and flying away towards the emperor's palace.

Guo Yi held the emperor's decree in his hands, as if he was holding a big mountain, and he felt out of breath under the pressure of the powerful emperor.

As expected, the Battle of the Peak was cancelled. It seems that the Great Northern Wilderness really wants to compose the "Star List" himself, and change his fate against the sky!

After hearing the news, the happiest person is Qin Liao!

You must know that Guo Yi's "Star List" ranks in the top ten, so he is eligible to obtain the corresponding official title. Guo Yi won the official title, so it is naturally very powerful for him.

"Congratulations, Brother Guo is ranked seventh in the "Star List". In a few days, he will be famous all over the world and become a man of the younger generation." Qin Liao laughed.

"Brother Qin, are you mocking me? Seventh, not number one." Guo Yi shook his head. Official rank and fame are not important to him, only his own strength has improved, and that is the most important thing.

The Tianshi Department is one of the six Tianshi Departments of the Northern Wilderness Dynasty, and it is in charge of officials.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is Qin Liao's uncle. With this kind of relationship, Guo Yi's title will naturally not be small.

Qin Liao said with a smile: "Brother Guo, if you think the current ranking is too low, you can go to the Ministry of Heavenly Officials tomorrow, and you can naturally challenge those young talents with high rankings. The Ministry of Tianli If it’s broken, he can fix it for you.”

Guo Yi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "You said that."

That night, emperor envoys flew all over the sky, tens of thousands of emperor's decrees were sent out, and all the young talents who participated in the peak battle received the emperor's decree.

Some people only saw some superficial things, but some people saw the deeper side, knowing that the Northern Wilderness was about to fall into chaos.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, the entire Emperor's Capital was shaken violently, and a loud noise spread across 9000 million miles like a mountain collapsing.

There was a roar from the direction of the imperial palace, and a huge palm print blasted into the clouds, shaking the stars in the sky. This is a great existence that is angry.

The huge imperial prestige enveloped the entire capital of imperial prestige.

"What the hell happened?"

Guo Yi was awakened from his practice, and rushed directly to the sky, with two divine lights overflowing from his eyes, and looked in the direction of the imperial palace.

"Someone stole the Qingtian Immortal Brush that was sealed in the Taimiao. The Northern Wilderness Emperor was furious and recruited all the princes into the palace overnight. It was a secret business event." It didn't take long for this news to be spread.

Early the next morning, Qin Liao came to Guo Yi's residence again and confirmed the matter.

"Last night, someone sneaked into the Taimiao, broke the ancient seal, and stole the first immortal artifact in the Northern Wilderness, the Qingtian Immortal Pen. The emperor received us princes with the shadow of the emperor, and asked us to pay all the price within three months. Whoever retrieves the Qingtian Immortal Pen will be established as the Crown Prince."

"You want me to help you find the Qingtian fairy brush?" Guo Yi understood Qin Liao's intention.

Qin Liao nodded, and said: "All the strong men of the older generation are suspected to be related to this theft, so the emperor has issued an imperial decree, and all strong men who have reached the level of Taoist masters in the entire Northern Wilderness cannot Participating in this matter, anyone who dares to move a step will be killed by the emperor's avatar. Brother Guo's speed is No. 1 under the Taoist master. Since the Taoist master can't make a move, then how can there be still one in this world? Brother Guo is the only one who can recover the Qingtian Immortal Brush."
