Qingyunxian

Chapter 711: Sui Huang, Gong Dao

Peng Zu glanced at Fu Chou inconspicuously, and then looked for the place where the mask might appear.

The ability of the world's number one Ruyi Daotai is trustworthy, so Peng Zu does not have to worry about the final result.

Fu Chou will get a solution to Youlu's control, but it will be accompanied by very bad consequences.

This is the result set for him by "Seeking benevolence and getting benevolence", and it is unavoidable with Fu Chou's current strength.

Fu Chou was at the same level as Peng Zu at this time, both were in the Chizun realm, far inferior to Liu Xun himself, and they did not have the luck matchmaker to gather resources and a chaotic Baiyu to pick at will.

Most of the disciples of Youlu live in life-and-death crisis, and they accumulate resources by risking their lives. If they don’t have enough means, they won’t live long.

The reason why Fu Chou wanted to rebel against Youlu at this time was because he came back from the future to the present and knew that a Yunxian in the Youlu branch where he was was besieged by several forces. After being seriously injured, he had to sacrifice the Tianshu to fight back. In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, he did not go out to kill people or sacrifice the Tianshu, but instead sacrificed the entire branch.

Even if doing so would lead to powerful people from Youlu coming to hold him accountable, for a Yunxian, that punishment would not be severe enough. If the branch lost its disciples, it could just recruit new ones. It would only delay the business for a while.

In his previous life, Fu Chou happened to be stuck outside with a difficult assassination mission and luckily survived. He didn't dare to return to Youlu because as one of the few survivors, there was no guarantee that he would be "silenced" by Yunxian if he went back.

Later, Fu Chou made inquiries both openly and secretly and found out that disciples with similar situations as him died for various reasons after returning. Only then did he make up his mind to rebel and return to the Heavenly Palace.

Over the years, he has provided a lot of information to the Tiangong.

In his previous life, after he lifted the control over Youlu and consulted the Heavenly Palace, the person in Heavenly Palace and his direct contact reported the matter and finally approved Fu Chou to get rid of his hidden identity.

When it comes to treating people who have made contributions, the Heavenly Palace is still very lenient.

As long as he can return to the Heavenly Palace, he will be included in the Heavenly Palace's training sequence based on his merits.

In fact, there are not many such examples, because most of the spies who sneak into Youlu will stay in Youlu. It is said that there were people from Tiangong in the upper echelons of Youlu. Their achievements were enough for Tiangong to help suppress Youlu's control. They barely faked their deaths and returned to Tiangong, but they dared not appear in front of Youlu again.

This is the first case of someone breaking free from control on his own like Fu Chou.

Later, Tiangong conducted a special study and found that Fu Chou had really escaped Youlu's control. Seeing that he had good talent, they simply focused on training him. Fu Chou himself also worked hard and was later promoted to the eighth level.

What a pity! As a representative of the Heavenly Palace in the battle for destiny, he was no match for Liu Xun and was trapped and killed by him instead.

Fortunately, he went back to the past and brought back the Taoist treasure [Snail Taoist Temple], which would allow him to return to the immortal path faster.

Little did he know that he had already fallen under the influence of the world's number one Ruyi Daotai.

The wait was not long before a man in luxurious robes appeared in the center of the city. He had a mask on his face with a slightly dignified smile. He looked at the gathered people and said, "The king said that we must keep up with the pace of the Holy Dynasty. The law was changed this time because the great Emperor Sui has made new progress in the tribute road. All the things bought and sold by foreigners need to be selected as tribute to His Majesty Sui."

"So before buying or selling, the value of the goods must be evaluated, the best items must be selected and then concentrated for another round of selection, and finally tribute must be paid to the Holy Dynasty."

"You all need to re-register the goods in your hands to avoid omissions."

Although they were foreigners and were required to pay annual tribute, the officials of the Two-Faced Country did not feel any dissatisfaction. Instead, they had a sense of honor, as if the Emperor was their own ruler.

Sui Huang? Gong Dao?
Another human Saint Emperor from a period of historical discontinuity.

I have never even heard of Gong Dao. It seems that the Emperor is quite capable. He can make a foreigner become so fanatical. The country must be very powerful.

Not all Holy Emperors can make foreigners fear or respect them, but most of them are pretty good. After all, every Holy Emperor has created his own path, some are strong and some are weak.

After hearing the details of the legal changes, everyone lined up to register their goods.

Only Fu Chou and Peng Zu did not really take this matter to heart.

The wonder of the Two-Faced Country will not last long, and they cannot waste their time on such things.

Peng Zu was keeping an eye on Fu Chou's movements, while Fu Chou focused his attention on a peculiar building in the center of the national city.

There is a sculpture in the center of the city, with a huge smiling mask covering its face. The mask is red with faint black patterns, giving people a sense of loyalty and bravery. There is a black evil mask on the waist of the sculpture, revealing a sense of recklessness and severity, and a strong sense of theatricality.

Following Fu Chou's line of sight, Peng Zu also saw the two masks carried by the sculpture.

What's more, the sculpture is taller than the city wall. Peng Zu had always been keeping an eye on places like the treasury. Who would have thought that such a treasure would be placed out in the open like this?

When Peng Zu saw the red mask, his eyes lit up.

By the way, wasn’t the mask that Fu Chou wore around his waist in his previous life a red one?

It looks like this is the one on the sculpture!

They both stared at the red mask at the same time.

The next step is how to snatch the red mask in full view of everyone.

They don't have much time, and any method that is planned later is not as good as robbing openly. If they plan for a long time, the wonder will disappear and they will not be able to get the mask.

But snatching requires skills, you have to know that there is a two-faced king of Yunxian level here, their only chance is to snatch the mask when the wonder is about to end, so that the threat of the two-faced king will no longer exist after the wonder disappears.

But there is a question that needs to be solved, that is, when will the wonder end?
The wonders formed and disappeared naturally without any warning signs.

But Peng Zu and Fu Chou both have solutions.

Fu Chou had experienced this miracle in his previous life. Although he had almost forgotten the general circumstances, he still remembered the scene of the miracle disappearing.

When the official finished counting, the strange sight disappeared.

Therefore, Fu Chou only had to delay until the last registration, and then take off the red mask, and the spectacle would just end, without any crisis at all.

Peng Zu also had a method. His method was to wait. When Fu Chou made a move, Peng Zu would take action to get the red mask.

Fu Chou in Liu Xun's previous life was able to successfully obtain the red mask. According to the power gap between Chi Zunjing and Yunxian, there is probably no other possibility except that he "accidentally" obtained the red mask at the time when the miracle disappeared.

For a person with great luck, getting an opportunity by coincidence has almost become a symbol.

In his previous life, Liu Xun was extremely envious of people with such great luck.

Both of them came up with a plan in an instant. Fu Chou deliberately fell behind and waited slowly for his turn.

Peng Zu was in front, and although he didn't say anything, he was watching secretly.

As the number of people registering goods gradually decreased, Fu Chou couldn't help but feel nervous even though he had experienced countless ups and downs in his past life.

It's not fear or timidity, but the excitement that the situation will change because of me.

I will return to the Heavenly Palace and rise up with the trend, starting with this mask!
Peng Zu had already registered his goods, and the details of the goods were obtained from a previous "inadvertent" conversation with someone he was familiar with in Qijing.

After registering, he stood aside, closer to the tall sculpture.

When it was Fu Chou's turn, he stepped forward and registered the goods very naturally. When it was almost time, he suddenly flashed and appeared on the face of the sculpture without paying attention to the distance, and reached out to take off the red mask.

Unexpectedly, Peng Zu was faster. He had been watching Fu Chou's movements and when he saw him appear in front of the sculpture's head, he immediately made a move to grab it.

Moreover, his methods were faster than Xumi Dao's. He took off the red mask one step ahead of time without intending to do so.

Or rather, it is not "taken off". The mask is placed in the national city, and it is definitely not simply worn on the sculpture, but is firmly tied to it.

Peng Zu was worried that the red mask could not be removed by simple means, so he used extremely special methods.
