Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

In the past few days, Song Qian would occasionally walk out of her house in the imperial capital, wrapped tightly, and go to Dongcheng District to buy some medicinal herbs, as well as some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

The Song Qian transformed by Heishan looks innocent and lively. She takes a boat ride, goes shopping, watches the lantern festival, and even invites the wives of the officials of the Imperial City to go out for an outing, as if she is unaware of the approaching danger.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Zhao Pan looked at the information collected by the secret guards.

As an emperor, in addition to the Imperial City Bureau, he also secretly established two intelligence systems.

One is the Imperial Household Department, which is controlled by his trusted eunuch Tong Gonggong. On the surface, it handles various trivial matters for the emperor, and secretly is responsible for collecting intelligence from various officials.

The other one is the unknown secret guards. There are not many of them, but each of them is very powerful. The leader of the secret guards is at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation and is only responsible to Zhao Pan.

At this moment, the leader of the dark guards, dressed in black and seemingly blending into the smoke, was reporting the situation to Zhao Pan in a metallic voice.

"According to my investigation, on the surface, the eldest daughter of the Song family is eating, drinking, and having fun everywhere, but in fact, this woman is probably fake, a deception created by Song Xuan."

Zhao Pan nodded and smiled, "According to Eunuch Tong's investigation, Song Xuan, apart from his Taoist companion who has gone somewhere unknown, cares most about his younger sister.

With Song Xuan's shrewdness, he naturally knew that Song Qian was his only weakness, so it was normal for him to make some risk warnings.

It would be abnormal if he had no guard at all!"

He paused and asked expectantly, "So, the real Victoria Song, have you found any trace of her?"

The leader of the secret guards nodded and said, "Song Qian's strength is extraordinary. My subordinates in the Fusion Realm couldn't find her at all. It was only after I personally took action and monitored the Song family residence for several days that I finally figured out Song Qian's whereabouts.

This woman, basically, would conceal her appearance and whereabouts every three days and go to Dongcheng District to buy some alchemy herbs in person."

"Oh? Based on your estimation, what is her cultivation level?"

"He shouldn't be at the Mahayana stage yet. Otherwise, there's nothing to worry about. There's no need to hide his whereabouts in the imperial capital, and I won't be able to discover his whereabouts."

Zhao Pan smiled slightly, "Very good, thank you for your hard work. You don't need to take any action next. I will arrange for others to do it."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but snort, "Although Song Xuan is a shrewd man who found a substitute for his sister, it's probably just a precaution.

He probably never imagined that I would dare to have his sister kidnapped right here in the imperial capital!

Otherwise, he would never dare to let Victoria Song leave Xicheng District!"

Xicheng District is inhabited by the powerful and wealthy, and the headquarters of the Imperial City Administration is located there. Even Zhao Pan doesn't dare to have anyone take action in Xicheng District.

But when you get to Dongcheng District, there are plenty of ways!

The leader of the secret guards said nothing, but just bowed and turned into a ball of black mist, disappearing in the air.

There was a faint light in Zhao Pan's eyes. He picked up the communication jade slip and moved his lips.

Soon, the door was pushed open and the old eunuch Tong Gonggong walked in quickly.

"His Majesty!"

"How's the contact with the Mahayana Buddhist master I asked you to contact going?"

Eunuch Tong whispered, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a hermit monk in the imperial capital. I'm not sure if he's a Mahayana Buddhist, so I vaguely conveyed your Majesty's intentions to him and tried to test his luck."

"What's the other party's reaction?"

"The monk recited a passage of Buddhist scriptures and said something at the end."

"What?"

"It seems like a lotus flower that doesn't touch the water, or the sun and moon that don't stay in the sky. I don't quite understand what he means."

Zhao Panzhuo touched it and sneered, "This old man is telling me that empty words are not enough. If you want them to do something, you have to show them something concrete."

As he spoke, he took out the imperial brush and scribbled a few lines on the blank imperial edict. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the imperial seal and stamped it on the imperial edict.

Eunuch Tong took a glance at it. This decree was almost a promise to the Mahayana Buddhism: as long as they could kidnap Song Qian from the imperial capital, bring her into a certain secret world, and cooperate with the Daluo Sect to kill Song Xuan, the Mahayana Buddhism could preach in the Daosong Dynasty in the future and would no longer be obstructed by the official Daosong Dynasty!

This can almost be said to be naked treason.

Moreover, the act of treason was written in the imperial edict. If this matter were to be exposed in the future, Zhao Pan would certainly not be able to continue sitting on the throne.

Eunuch Tong's expression was conflicted for a moment, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, is it really necessary to take this risk?

"The Mahayana Buddhist sect has obtained this imperial edict, and from now on, it will have a handle on your Majesty. Is it really worth paying such a high price to deal with Song Xuan?"

Zhao Pan sneered, "In this world, there is no such thing as worth or not, it only depends on whether I want to do it or not!

For me, compared to being threatened by the Mahayana Buddhism with the imperial edict in the future, killing Song Xuan, the traitor, is the top priority now!

I have a feeling that if I can't kill him this time, sooner or later, Dao Song will be destroyed by him!"

Chapter 797 You can’t catch up with me, I am just that powerful!

Imperial Capital, Dongcheng District.

In terms of prosperity, as the largest commercial district in the imperial capital and even the entire Daosong Dynasty, Dongcheng District can be said to have taken prosperity to the extreme.

The streets here are wide and flat, with shops lining both sides, pedestrians bustling about, and traffic flowing. From time to time, you can see monks riding on various rare and exotic animals strolling on both sides of the street.

The air was filled with the aroma of various delicacies and the cries of merchants. On the streets, jugglers, storytellers and other craftsmen also attracted many people to watch.

In a shadowy spot on the street corner, a monk in gray clothes, with a thin body and long cheeks, was standing with his hands clasped together, quietly looking at a shop not far away.

There is a chamber of commerce that sells various medicinal materials for alchemy. According to intelligence, today, the eldest daughter of the Song family will conceal her appearance and come here to purchase.

The monk's Dharma name is Ku Hai. He is one of the supreme elders of the Mahayana Buddhism. He has reached the initial stage of Mahayana cultivation. He has been living in seclusion in the capital of Dao Song for many years, and has provided some intelligence about Dao Song to the sect.

Not long ago, someone in the Daosong Palace contacted him. Although the words were evasive, with his ascetic mind, he naturally saw through the other party's intentions at a glance.

In the palace, the emperor wanted to deal with his own ministers.

It is not convenient for me to do it myself, so I hope that he, a hard-working monk from a sect in a foreign country, can help me.

After several rounds of bargaining, the old monk Kuhai finally got what he wanted - the decree issued by Emperor Daosong himself, allowing Mahayana Buddhism to preach!

For Mahayana Buddhism, this is an absolutely irresistible temptation.

After a brief communication with the sect, the sect allowed the operation and asked him to cooperate with Emperor Dao Song to complete the task as soon as possible.

The mission is not difficult, just kidnap someone in Dongcheng District.

According to the contact person on Dao Song's side, the person to be kidnapped has strong cultivation and is estimated to have reached the limit of fusion, so he should not be underestimated.

But the monk Kuhai didn't care.

There is a level of heaven and a realm of realms, and due to the difference in combat power between small realms, there may be situations where people fight against each other at higher levels.

However, the further you go between realms, the more difficult it becomes to fight across levels, especially between Mahayana and Fusion, the gap is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

He is a great monk in the Mahayana stage, and all he wants to do is kidnap a cultivator in the fusion stage, which is easy for him!

As for whether it is possible to escape from the imperial capital after kidnapping someone?

He is also very confident about this.

Ku Hai's strength may be average in the Mahayana stage, but his escape method is extremely amazing. Even the veteran Mahayana stage masters find it difficult to catch up with him. This is the main reason why the sect is confident in handing the task to him.

Song Xuan, the inspector of the Imperial City, may be extraordinary, but I kidnapped someone and ran away without fighting you head-on. What can you do?

...

Half an hour later, Ku Hai's eyes lit up, and he saw a monk wrapped in a black robe walking out of the shop.

As soon as the monk went out, he looked around. After a brief pause, he walked towards the street corner where Kuhai was, under Kuhai's gaze.

Kuhai's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on? The hostage is walking towards me, the kidnapper, on his own initiative?

"Old monk, can you interpret dreams?"

Before they got close, Victoria Song, whose figure was hidden in a black robe, was the first to ask a question.

This old guy, your movements are so clumsy. I've been in the shop for a long time. Why don't you just rush in and tie me up?

I had to come here on my own initiative. With my business ability, I have no initiative at all. If I work in the Imperial City Bureau, I will never be promoted in my life!

Ku Hai was slightly stunned, and carefully spread his spiritual sense within a radius of more than ten miles around.

He didn't dare to spread his spiritual sense too far. If he was accidentally sensed by other Mahayana monsters, it would be a big trouble.

Fortunately, within the range of ten miles, he did not sense any fluctuations in the breath of the old monster in the Mahayana period, which made him feel relieved.

It seems that it is really God's will and I am lucky. The hostage actually came here on his own initiative.

"Dream interpretation? Donee, are you having any strange dreams that are troubling you?"

"Indeed!"

Victoria Song, wearing a black mask, whispered, "Recently, I've been dreaming of a rope that tied me up tightly. In my dreams, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't get free.

Master, could you please interpret this dream for me? What does it mean?"

"Amitabha!"

Ku Hai clasped his hands together, a look of compassion on his face, and sighed, "Donor, this means that you are about to encounter a disaster. Perhaps it is related to kidnapping!"

"Kidnapping?"

Victoria Song was stunned, looking a little unconvinced, "This is the imperial capital, who can kidnap me?"

The old monk Kuhai laughed heartily, raised his hand, and a dark brown rope appeared in his hand. He said in a kind tone, "Donor, please take a closer look. Is this rope the same as the one in your dream?"

Song Qian took a closer look, and then her expression changed drastically, "It's indeed the same... You... you monk, it turns out that you are the one who wanted to kidnap me?"

Ku Hai nodded and smiled, "Your reaction is indeed very quick. In that case, I will reveal my cards. Your current calamity is related to me!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and the rope spread out like a snake, and in an instant, it tied up Song Qian.

Looking at Miss Song who was struggling but unable to break free, Ku Hai smiled and said, "Don't struggle. This thing is a treasure of my Mahayana Buddhism. Although it is not a treasure, it is not something that a fusion cultivator like you can break free of."

Song Qian was horrified. "Big monk, you want to kidnap me? Do you know who my brother is?"

"I know, he's the Inspector of the Imperial City!"

Ku Hai laughed heartily, "So what if he knows? I'll just catch him and leave. What can he do to me?"

As he spoke, he lifted Song Qian's arm and took a step forward without any more words. Afterimages appeared in the void, and when he appeared again, he was already outside the imperial capital.

Just after he led his people out of the imperial capital, Ku Hai suddenly looked back. He could clearly sense that an extremely majestic and powerful aura suddenly erupted in the imperial capital.

A sound like thunder even rang in the ears of the old monk Kuhai.

"Who are you, the demon, that dares to kidnap someone from the Imperial City Division?"

Ku Hai was shocked. He was sensed as soon as he left the imperial capital?

This Inspector Song Xuan was so powerful that he was definitely a veteran Mahayana-level existence. No wonder Zhao Pan was unwilling to do it himself, but instead spent a huge price to ask him, the Mahayana Buddhist sect, to do it.

This job is not easy!

However, although Ku Hai was shocked, he was not panicked, and even felt a little excited.

He carried Song Qian, and every step he took was a space transformation. In an instant, he appeared thousands of miles away.

Constantly changing his spatial position, Ku Hai even laughed out loud, "You can't catch up with me, hahahaha, this poor monk is so powerful!"

Chapter 798 I do whatever I want!

Among all the great elders in Mahayana Buddhism, Ku Hai is a very inconspicuous one.

It can even be said that his strength is at the bottom level, otherwise, he would not have been sent out to lurk in the capitals of other dynasties and act as an intelligence chief.

But although his strength was average, his escape technique was extremely impressive. He even developed a technique that allowed him to escape safely through space cracks.

As far as the ability to escape is concerned, in the Mahayana Buddhism, he is even second only to those old ancestors of the Shi generation. His escape speed is comparable to that of the old monsters at the peak of the Mahayana Buddhism.

A peak Mahayana monster cannot appear in the Continent of Ten Thousand Spirits at will, but his Sea of ​​Bitterness can!

With such ability, it can be said frankly that in this world, those who can beat him cannot catch up with him, and those who can catch up with him cannot show up easily.

With this calculation, he is invincible!

"Hahaha!"

When Ku Hai thought about the scene where he had kidnapped the sister of the Inspector of the Imperial City, and the Inspector could only chase him in frustration but could not catch up no matter what, he laughed happily.

So what if you're a high-ranking official in the Imperial City Bureau? So what if you're a veteran Mahayana cultivator? Aren't you still stuck behind this humble monk, helpless and furious?

Tied up with ropes, Victoria Song curiously observed the ever-changing scenes around her. She nodded in agreement and said, "Old monk, although your character is low, I have to say that your escape technique is indeed quite good."
