It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Longhu Mountain, Shenwu Hall.

Everyone was present. Han Dieyi, who was sitting in the second seat, looked at the chief, the sect leader Huang Xuanyi, who was dressed in a white robe.

"Master, why did you summon us?"

"I calculated that Tongxuan and Xiugu encountered disaster in the north."

Han Dieyi was stunned, and then became furious: "Who did it?"

For hundreds of years, Longhu Mountain has coexisted and prospered with the royal family. With its transcendent status, it is the well-deserved "number one sect" in the Shenling Empire.

The eight Heavenly Lords can walk around the world at will, who would dare to murder them?
However, the leader’s prediction was always correct, and he was definitely right when he said that something bad would happen to the fifth and seventh brothers.

Lu Danyang, who was ranked third, frowned and looked at Li Zijiu, who was ranked fourth.

Li Zijiu's special magic weapon is the "Soul Instrument", which records the vital information of all personnel in Longhu Mountain in real time.

His mind moved, and after confirming, he said, "They are all still alive."

The Eighth Elder Lan Lanlu asked angrily, "Master, what are you waiting for? Hurry and rescue them!"

The sixth elder Cao Chengxiang said calmly, "The fact that they dare to do this shows that they are as strong as Longhu Mountain. I'm afraid they won't be able to save him in a hurry."

Han Dieyi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

"The Emperor detained Tongxuan and Xiugu? Is he crazy?!"

This question is obvious, but also confusing.

Zhang Tongxuan and He Xiu'gu were not newcomers and it was impossible for them to offend the emperor. Logically speaking, the emperor and the court would not easily offend Longhu Mountain.

Cao Chengxiang pondered and said, "There is only one answer: doing so will bring great benefits... You have all heard that the demon king's blood can help with cultivation, right?"

Once again, everyone showed an expression of understanding.

"Similarly, the spirit of the Heavenly Venerable is more effective than that of the Demon King! The one in the underground palace is probably half crazy and half insane. Or, the three masters of the Imperial Observatory are trying to disrupt the situation and profit from it!"

Lan Lanlu was even more indignant: "Then why not just massacre the Imperial Observatory..."

Han Dieyi sighed, shook his head and said, "Don't be reckless... Right now, there may be a trap in the imperial capital. If we go there rashly, not only will we fail to save them, but we will also lose more fellow disciples..."

"Then watch Brother Five and Sister Seven live a life worse than death?"

Thinking about the tragic experience of the demon king, Lanlanlu was very worried.

Cao Chengxiang looked at Huang Xuanyi and asked, "No news from the imperial capital yet?"

Huang Xuanyi shook his head and said, "I decided to go..."

"Master, you absolutely cannot do that!"

"Master can't go!"

"We should go together. I don't believe that the emperor can kill us all."

It was rare for the Five Heavenly Lords to speak out in unison in opposition.

Huang Xuan waved his hand and said, "I mean, use the 'Spiritual Wandering' method to explore."

Han Dieyi still said worriedly: "'Spiritual Wandering' requires splitting the soul. If the emperor or the Imperial Astronomical Observatory maliciously intercepts it, the master's cultivation will be in jeopardy!"

"For Tongxuan and Xiugu, a little bit of cultivation is worthless! Tonight at midnight, you will protect me with the Five Elements!"

The leader has made up his mind, and the five great celestial masters cannot dissuade him, so they can only follow his orders.

A crescent moon was in the sky. On the rooftop of Mount Longhu, the five great celestial masters of the five elements stood in their positions, with Huang Xuanyi sitting cross-legged at the core.

"From the beginning of the Dao, all things come into being. The Dao is simple, and simplicity leads to the divine. The five elements protect the law, the divine wanders and the souls divide. The Supreme Lord Laozi is as urgent as the law, go!"

In the eyes of the five Heavenly Masters, the residual image in the master's body rose quietly from the Baihui acupoint, and then turned into wind and moved all the way north.

Travel eighty thousand miles on the ground at night, and gaze at a thousand rivers from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Huang Xuanyi's "thoughts" arrived above the imperial capital.

All the people in the city have turned off the lights and gone to sleep, except for the four tall towers of Suzaku, Xuanwu, Azure Dragon and White Tiger, which are brightly lit.

However, in the star-like light, there were countless black auras that were invisible to the naked eye, like four cruel and brutal prehistoric beasts.

The underground palace in the center of the city is an upside-down pagoda embedded in the ground. It is as black as ink, just like a black hole that swallows everything.

This strange scene made Huang Xuanyi secretly frightened.

The rumor that Linggui had five clones was no secret among the top leaders, but he could tell just by looking at them that the emperor had definitely taken extraordinary measures.

This is by no means a trivial matter!

As the supreme ruler of the world, he must never do anything crooked or evil; his every word, action, and move must be upright and just.

With a flash of thought, Huang Xuanyi arrived at the southeast corner of the imperial capital.

As soon as they entered the sky above the Imperial Observatory, three figures in red, yellow and blue flew out.

The three great imperial masters of Shenling, Yang Zhengting, Hu Zhun, and Feng Ziru, sensed the invasion of the aura of Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Lord and came forward together.

"Why didn't Sect Leader Huang come to the capital without an imperial edict?"

Huang Xuanyi used his mind to convey his words to the three people: "You really don't know?"

As three prominent imperial masters, how could they not know that the Dragon and Tiger were imprisoned by the emperor, but they could not go against Linggui's will.

Feng Ziru spoke first: "I really don't know the whole story, but the sky above the imperial capital is a restricted area as ordered by His Majesty. Please don't make things difficult for us, Master Huang..."

Huang Xuanyi shouted angrily: "Ha! So, there is no place in Longhu Mountain to reason in Shenling territory?"

Yang Zhengting waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant... Anyway, I will report Longhushan's request to His Majesty, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Explain?!" Huang Xuanyi became even more angry: "You all witnessed what the emperor promised to Longhu Mountain. I want the answer now!"

Yang Zhengting sighed and said, "Things are different now. Why did the Sect Master offend His Majesty?"

Huang Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect that the chief national teacher would say such helpless words?

"What happened? Why is the evil energy boiling in the Avatar Tower? Why did the emperor's temperament change so drastically? Is this how you, the Huang Lao Sect, serve as the Imperial Master?!"

Seeing that the other party was scolding him like a son, and even mentioned the honor of the sect, Hu Zhun could not help but get angry: "We have done our best. The leader of the Dragon and Tiger Sect has a high status. Why don't you ask His Majesty yourself?"

This is what Huang Xuanyi wanted. He nodded: "Okay!"

Go ahead and say it. With a thought, he immediately flew to the Xuanwu Tower. The clone here was the weakest, but he could still contact Linggui's original body.

Feng Ziru looked at the direction where Huang Xuanyi's soul left and asked, "Chief, what should we do?"

"Let him be. Before the imperial edict comes, we will not interfere in the dispute between Longhu Mountain and the royal family."

On the top floor of the Xuanwu Tower, a young and strong practitioner looked at Huang Xuanyi with angry eyes.

"Master, you came to the capital without an imperial edict and even trespassed into a forbidden area. Am I being too kind to you?"

"Your Majesty is going to deal with Longhu Mountain?"

Ling Gui smiled and said, "Zhang Tongxuan and He Xiugu have bad intentions and are guilty of deceiving the emperor. I will only punish them lightly and warn them severely. I will not target anyone else."

Why bother to accuse someone?

Taking a deep breath, Huang Xuanyi said slowly: "Your Majesty, hand them over to me and take them back to Longhu Mountain for punishment."

Hearing this, Linggui suddenly laughed and said, "What's the difference between being here with me and being in Longhu Mountain? Or do you just not trust me?!"

Huang Xuanyi keenly noticed that countless black light particles were seeping out from the heart of the emperor's clone and were spreading rapidly.

Madness!

This lunatic actually wants to murder me? !
Just as he was changing his mind, he heard the six-syllable mantra: "Om Mani Padme Hum!"

I am!

The volume of mantra exceeds 120 decibels.

Hit by the silent and invisible ultrasonic wave, Huang Xuanyi's "split soul" was like a small boat in a storm, which could be swept to the bottom of the sea at any time!

At this point, Huang Xuanyi, the head of Longhu Mountain, no longer held out any hope and frantically tried to escape from the Xuanwu Tower.

However, a black light bell descended from the sky, completely covering the 108-meter tower. On the bell, countless six-word mantras surged and flowed, directing a large amount of black light towards the "divide the soul".

Knowing that something was wrong, Huang Xuanyi immediately dodged left and right inside the clock.

The space was too small, and soon he was surrounded and entangled by the black light.

With bloodshot eyes, he questioned, "Stupid emperor! Aren't you afraid of ruining Shen Ling's national destiny?!"

Linggui captured Huang Xuanyi's "split soul" and felt extremely happy.

"Haha, I remember you once said that one can become a god by achieving enlightenment, and the one who achieves it is the most respected! I am only one step away from achieving enlightenment, thank you very much, Master!"

Then, the black light suddenly took Huang Xuanyi's one soul and two spirits into the body. Boundless spiritual energy surged in from all directions, devouring Huang Xuanyi's soul bit by bit.

It was as if he was bathing in boundless holy light, and Linggui's soul and limbs felt indescribably comfortable.

However, his happiness was built on Huang Xuanyi's endless pain.

3000 miles away, the rooftop of Longhu Mountain.

"puff!"

Huang Xuan vomited a mouthful of blood, and his pure white Taoist robe was stained with blood. He couldn't even control his body and fell on his back.

"Head!"

"Brother!"

Amid the exclamations, Han Dieyi took the lead and stepped forward, using his spiritual power to protect Huang Xuanyi's heart meridian, and quickly fed him a "Restoring Spirit Pill".

Huang Xuanyi's eyes were closed, his face was as pale as gold, and his breath was extremely weak.

The five great celestial masters took turns using their vast inner strength to maintain the life of their leader which could be extinguished at any time.

Half an hour later, Huang Xuanyi's breathing gradually calmed down and he opened his eyes slightly.

This means that his life was temporarily saved.

Looking at the depressed leader, Lan Lan gritted her teeth and immediately flew into the air, planning to go north to find the emperor to question him.

Soon, Lu Danyang caught up with him and stopped him: "Old Eight, don't lose your composure, take care of the Sect Leader first!"

Soon after, Li Zijiu came and helped persuade Lan Lanlu to come back.

The five people worked together to take care of and rescue Huang Xuanyi. After he woke up, he said with difficulty: "Linggui practiced the black forbidden technique! He is crazy, and the Shenling Empire is doomed!"

He is now a person with a broken soul and a missing spirit, and does not even have one percent of his previous strength.

"Suck!"

Han Dieyi took a breath and looked horrified.

Lü Danyang also said with lingering fear: "If the forbidden black magic reappears in the world, the country will be destroyed, the family will be ruined, and the people will suffer... Is it the Imperial Observatory?"

Huang Xuanyi shook his head slightly and said, "No, I suspect that he has privately opened the 'Black Barrier Field' that was banned by the Lingwu Emperor. His condition is very unstable, so don't act rashly for the time being."

At this point, Huang Xuanyi's breathing became disordered again, and Lu Danyang and Li Zijiu escorted the head brother to seclusion to recuperate.

Lan Lanlu, who joined the group the latest, asked curiously, "What is the Black Forbidden Technique?"

Han Dieyi frowned and said, "Since the birth of heaven and earth, the great way has been divided into yin and yang. The righteous way is yang, and the evil way is yin. For us, dark evil magic is the magic that harms others and benefits oneself at all costs. Now, Linggui has betrayed the righteous way and completely degenerated into the evil demon emperor. The world is about to be bloody again!"

"Brother, what's going on with Emperor Lingwu and the 'Black Barrier Field'?"

"Five hundred years ago, when Emperor Lingwu entered the Kingdom of God and returned to the human world, he was almost trapped and killed by the "dark energy". After he escaped, he used his divine power to completely seal it away. The specific location is unknown to outsiders except for the emperor's word of mouth."

Lan Lanlu suddenly asked, "Second brother knows it so clearly, could it be that you have experienced it yourself?"

"I'm not even 300 years old yet, how can I have the chance to meet the Lingwu Emperor? The head of the sect told me."

"Is the Lingwu Emperor really dead?"

The three great mysteries of Shen Ling: Lingwu's ascension, the cat replacing the prince, and Hongwan's possession of another's body.

Among them, the most mysterious one is the ascension of Emperor Lingwu in broad daylight.

This incident happened during the centennial anniversary of the Shenling Empire. It is rumored that Emperor Lingwu sensed the divine will and hurriedly flew to Mount Tai to ascend to heaven.

However, when the factory guards arrived at Mount Tai half a day later, they were surprised to find that Emperor Lingwu had evaporated out of thin air, and no trace of his ascension could be found.

There are many rumors in the countryside, such as encountering immortals in the East China Sea, transcending tribulations and ascending to heaven, reincarnation, etc.

Han Dieyi shook his head and said, "This, Master Brother doesn't want to talk about it, so I don't know either."

Lan Lanlu asked disdainfully: "If the Lingwu Emperor knew about this, would he be so angry at his unworthy descendants that he would be resurrected and reincarnated?"

Han Dieyi laughed dumbly and said, "Maybe. It's really like a son selling his father's land without feeling sorry for it... Alas!"

……

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Lu Yuan was training dozens of pigeons with great interest. The white pigeons, black pigeons and colorful pigeons were all standing on the railings in an orderly manner, training in an orderly manner according to their owner's instructions.

"Gulu, gulu!"

With a flutter, dozens of carrier pigeons spread their wings and flew towards the assembly point a hundred miles away.

As long as they can retrieve the token quickly and accurately, they will receive double the reward.

When he was free, Lu Yuan said to Li Hemei behind him, "Your mission is to plant reliable spies in the capital and around the remaining seven border army generals, and pass important intelligence back to the headquarters, and you will be rewarded with merit."

"Yes! I will do my best to complete the task and strive to gain more merits!"

Lu Yuan said, "No! No matter what the situation, safety is the first priority. You can only get merit if you keep your life. People are more important than intelligence. Do you understand?"

The first batch of "spies" graduated. Because Li Hemei was cunning, she was selected by Lu Yuan as the spy chief and sent to important areas in the interior.

Li Hemei personally stayed in the imperial capital and used the guise of a brothel to gather intelligence about the emperor and the court.

Take precautions and be prepared.

Jin Meijing learned that Li Haomei was about to leave, so she came to see her off.

"You are lucky!"

Li Hemei burst into laughter and said, "Single-handedly wiped out the Three Blades and Six Caves in one night. Isn't that impressive enough for you?"

Jin Meijing also laughed: "Ha, who told you that? It's about the three villages and six caves. There's no sense of accomplishment in small fish and shrimps..."

In fact, the biggest evil spirit in Dayin Mountain, Lady Hongfen, is one of our own, so Jin Meijing is invincible with the new firearms.

In more than half a month, almost all of the area was cleared away.

Currently, she has shifted her focus to Taining City.

The Yanxiang Society is the largest guild (unofficial force) in Taining City, and both the black and white forces are naturally very sensible.

Those troublemakers who don't know what's going on will either be squeezed out or replaced by someone else.

In short, the public security around Taining is unprecedentedly good and is highly praised by the people.

Suddenly, a spotted carrier pigeon fell from the sky.

"Goo-goo, gurgling!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Gujigulu, Jiligulu?"

After getting confirmation, Lu Yuan crushed the dominoes.

The air was filled with bloody mist and the red-faced lady appeared, looking at Lu Yuan with a dull gaze.

"What's the trouble again?"

Lu Yuan immediately hugged the queen's thigh and cried out: "Queen, I have been very good recently and have been staying at home... By the way, congratulations to the queen, the eye problem is finally getting better!"

Yeah!

Lady Hongfen couldn't help but feel mixed emotions, and she said softly, "But is it true? Don't lie to me!"

"Really, really, more real than pearls!" (End of this chapter)
