Although Xie Gaoguang is close to the mysterious prince, based on Anle's recent observations, this eunuch does not always stay by the prince's side unless there are special circumstances. It's as if... he is also secretly afraid of the other party and doesn't want to get too close.
After finding a secluded place, Anle asked directly, "Eunuch Xie, has anything major happened in the capital recently?"
Hearing this question, Xie Gaoguang was surprised: "Why did Lord Lu suddenly ask this question?"
Anle lowered his voice and said, "I heard some rumors from a good friend, so I wanted to ask my father-in-law about it."
The trick of creating something out of nothing is very old, but it does work very well.
Xie Gaoguang nodded. Because of the money, he liked Anle very much. In addition, the other party had amazing potential and was even more capable of becoming a divine general, so he had always intended to make friends with him.
But he didn't dare to say too much, and just uttered a short sentence: "A few days ago, there was something wrong with the dragon vein, but now it's fine."
The words were short, but they shocked Anle's heart.
With his current knowledge, he naturally knew that the so-called "dragon vein" was the source bloodline that the Great Tai Divine Emperor had refined with divine evil as the guide, spiritual veins as the foundation, and immortal cultivators as the materials. The immortality of the Divine Emperor and the strength of the warriors of the Zhenling Division were all closely related to it.
And calculating the time, the day when the dragon vein changed was probably the time when Anle devoured the armor of the god general.
In this way, all the clues are connected together.
"No wonder...no wonder..."
"Only a matter of this magnitude would cause the Divine Emperor to send a prince to investigate."
An Le suddenly realized and became more alert. Now his ghost armor and soul-devouring bloodline might be contaminated with the aura of the God General's armor. He could no longer use them easily, otherwise there would be a risk of being exposed.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but An Le remained calm and composed: "So that's how it is. Thank you for telling me, eunuch."
Xie Gaoguang put on a kind smile on his round face: "It's just a small matter."
"But the capital is too far away, Lord Lu should still pay more attention to Liuzhou."
His words carried a veiled reminder: "As long as the war in Liuzhou continues, Your Majesty will not be at peace."
Anle nodded and said, "Of course."
Before leaving, Xie Gaoguang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing, Lord Lu better pay attention to it."
"Recently, there seem to be traces of immortal cultivators' activities near Liuzhou and Qingzhou..."
He could have concealed this news, but considering his "friendship" with Anle, he gave a brief reminder.
Hearing this, Anle's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed slightly: "Immortal cultivator?"
Xie Gaoguang said in a serious tone: "That's right."
"From the traces left at the scene, it seems that they are quite powerful. I don't know if they are from a local evil sect in Liuzhou or monks from outside."
"In short, Lord Lu must be careful. If you discover their whereabouts, you must report it in time. Your Highness will personally kill them."
Anle looked at the round-faced eunuch and said seriously, "Thank you, eunuch."
After leaving Xie Gaoguang's sight, Anle's expression quickly became serious.
Judging from the time when this group of immortal cultivators appeared, they seemed to be not the same group of people who spread the corpse transformation method. It was more likely that they were local immortal cultivators who had to come out due to the turmoil, but there was also another possibility, that is... they were people from Taixu Palace!
Ask yourself, if Anle was a high-ranking official in Taixu Palace and saw a rebellion within the enemy, he would never miss such a great opportunity, but would use various means to expand the losses of the Datai Divine Dynasty.
This is war.
The end is always more important than the means.
Sending out elite monks to take advantage of the situation and cause damage is indeed something that Taixu Palace might do.
Anle narrowed his eyes, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"If that's really the case..."
******
It was at noon that day.
Anle arrived early at a cleared out inn.
Several warriors from the Zhenling Division have already arrived here, including familiar faces such as Li Guanshan, Pei Zun, and Gong Ye.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Anle saw them since entering Liuzhou.
There was still a blush around Li Guanshan, but compared to before, the blush had obviously faded a lot, and his aura had become a little weak.
Gong Ye's pretty face was filled with fatigue. She was too lazy to show any charm. She yawned without caring about her image and seemed very sleepy.
Her black outfit was stained with blood and dust, and it was obvious that she had just been through a battle.
Pei Zun's face was dusty and his expression was quite solemn, as if he was in a bad mood.
After witnessing the tragic situation in Liuzhou, almost no warrior was as relaxed and comfortable as when they went to war.
After seeing Anle, Pei Zun forced a smile: "Brother Lu, you are here."
Anle looked at his pale face and asked with concern, "Is Master Pei injured?"
Pei Zun smiled bitterly and replied: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"Three corpses from the fourth realm fought back before dying, causing some minor trouble."
He said it lightly, but just thinking about the situation that could hurt a person of the fifth realm was extremely dangerous.
On the side, Li Guanshan nodded to Anle and asked, "Brother Lu, how many corpses did you solve?"
Although Li Guanshan was still Anle's superior in name, after Anle broke through the fifth realm, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to a thousand households. Naturally, there were subtle changes in his way of addressing and his attitude.
Gong Ye, who was not far away, opened her cherry lips and bit her teeth lightly, but still didn't have the courage to say hello to Anle.
After all, Anle's breakthrough was too fast.
He had just joined the Zhenling Division and was not even a centurion yet. But not long after that, he had already reached the fifth realm and became an equal to them.
Gong Ye couldn't adjust his mentality for a while.
Coupled with the bad things she said behind my back, I felt even more embarrassed to take the initiative to mend the relationship.
An Le knew nothing about Gong Ye's thoughts, nor did he care. He turned to Li Guanshan and replied, "Including the corpses of the third level, there should be more than a dozen people, right?"
"hiss……"
Li Guanshan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lu, you are very efficient."
The corpses are often transformed from warriors in the third realm. A small number of them have the strength of the fourth realm after practicing the immortal method. Most of them still remain in the third realm, but they are several times more difficult to deal with than ordinary third realm warriors. Their vitality is extremely tenacious. Even if a fifth realm warrior takes action, it will cost some effort.
Moreover, finding the corpses is more difficult than eliminating them.
These zombies that still had consciousness were very cunning. They fled everywhere like cockroaches, making Li Guanshan and others in the fifth realm run around in a hurry without much success.
An Le said frankly: "In fact, it was mainly due to good luck. I accidentally discovered a few places where corpses gathered, and then I was lucky enough to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Li Guanshan shook his head: "Luck is also a part of strength."
His tone was full of emotion: "If this momentum continues, Brother Lu will probably be promoted to a thousand households soon."
Hearing this, the nearby warriors cast envious glances.
Not to mention that the position of a thousand households was an unattainable position in their eyes, what was more important was that Lu Bin was able to climb to such a high position at such a young age. His future prospects were immeasurable. It was not impossible for him to become a divine general, be granted a title of nobility, and be appointed as a prime minister in the future.
Pei Zun took the initiative to change the subject and said, "By the way, what is it that Eunuch Xie asked us to come here for?"
"It seems that colleagues from Yanzhou and Lingzhou Zhenlingsi have arrived nearby to discuss how to suppress the rebellion."
"And I heard that another important person has also arrived."
As soon as Li Guanshan finished speaking, a woman as agile as a cheetah walked out of the forest and looked at everyone with an aggressive look.
"Everyone in Qingzhou, how are you?"
Her voice is hoarse but charming.
It was Sana from Yanzhou.
Pei Zun nodded slightly and greeted, "Lord Sang."
Although there had been considerable conflict between the Qingzhou Zhenling Division and Sanna during the last operation led by Wu Quan, that was, after all, only Wu Quan's personal behavior and could not be elevated to the level of the entire Zhenling Division.
Sana did not bear any grudge against the warriors from Qingzhou, and after a few interactions, the relationship between the two sides turned out to be quite good.
There were quite a few warriors following behind Sana, but including her, there were only three warriors in the fifth realm. Their clothes were a little worn and they looked quite shabby, but this was all the strength that Yanzhou could mobilize.
Pei Zun naturally knew this and said it seriously.
"Everyone must have been exhausted from the journey. Please go to the side and take a rest for a while."
Sana nodded, and when she was about to leave with her men, her eyes suddenly stopped on Anle, and she spoke in surprise.
"Damn it... the fifth realm?"
She was so surprised that she swore.
Anle and Sanna were not familiar with each other, they had only met a few times when they left Yanzhou last time.
Seeing Sana's reaction, he just nodded slightly: "Yes, Master San, what can I do for you?"
"No! It's okay!"
Sana quickly shook her head and immediately walked to the side with her warriors.
The men behind her were a little surprised. They rarely saw Sana react so strongly to a warrior.
There seemed to be a hint of fear in this flustered look?
A female warrior asked curiously, "Sir, is there anything special about Lu Bin?"
She was gossiping in her heart, thinking that although Lady Sang had a strange personality, she was a girl after all and was not yet married. Maybe she had some thoughts about the handsome scholar because of his extraordinary looks.
Fortunately, Sana didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise she would probably have slapped her on the head.
Sana smiled bitterly and said, "Is it more than just special?"
When the ghost-faced man was fighting the human puppet, Sana had been hiding in the dark, carefully observing this fierce battle that made her tremble with fear.
As a bystander, she made an unexpected discovery.
During the battle, the jade-faced scholar Lu Bin did not show up at all, but right after the human puppet was blown up, he immediately appeared beside everyone.
Others might think that Lu Bin was hiding in a corner and would not come out until it was safe.
But based on Sana's observation, Lu Bin is obviously not that kind of person.
After eliminating all the wrong options, whatever remains, no matter how outrageous it sounds, is the truth.
Out of a woman's intuition, Sana believed that Lu Bin was most likely the man with the ghost face!
Not only is it the right time to become famous, but it also matches the previous Half-Step Yangyan realm.
However, Sana had no intention of sharing this secret with others. From a certain perspective, she and the Ghost-Faced Man were accomplices in killing Wu Quan. Moreover, after witnessing that battle with her own eyes, she didn't want to become the Ghost-Faced Man's enemy at all.
What a joke, who wants to be trampled to death by a giant like that?
Therefore, Sana always kept the secret deep in her heart and dared not tell anyone.
"Before he broke through the fifth realm, Lu Bin was already so formidable. How strong will he be now?"
Thinking of this, Sana's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and then she spoke seriously to her subordinates.
"No matter what happens in the future, never provoke this person. Do you hear me?"
Although the people in Yanzhou didn't quite understand, they all nodded and said, "Understood!"
******
It didn't take long.
Warriors from Lingzhou and Qingzhou arrived at this post station one after another.
Not only people from the Zhenling Division came to support, but also powerful people in the martial arts world, who wanted to do their part to help put down the rebellion.
Although these people in the martial arts world are usually as afraid of the Zhenling Division as the plague, there will always be brave men when there is a huge reward. There will always be people who cannot resist the temptation of a high reward and work for the court.
Among them, Anle unexpectedly met the brothers Qianlongyu and Qianlongren. Their aura seemed to be a little stronger, but they were very honest in front of the warriors of Zhenling Division and did not dare to act rashly.
However, most of the warriors of Zhenlingsi don't care much about this group of people.
The fighting power of martial artists in Jianghu varies greatly, and their fighting will is limited. It's okay when they encounter weaker enemies, as they can still help to clean up the enemies. But once they encounter a strong enemy, it's good if they are not defeated at the first blow. Don't hold too much hope.
Compared to these people, the arrival of Lingzhou Zhenlingsi attracted more attention from the people of Qingzhou.
Lingzhou is the farthest from Liuzhou among the three states, so they arrived the latest.
However, the strength of Lingzhou Zhenlingsi is obviously much higher than that of Qingzhou. The warriors are full of energy and look dignified, and most of the weapons they carry are magical weapons.
