It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

The two men gradually proved themselves and were recognized by all officials.

It was not until the 205th year of Yusheng, the 70th year since the two took over the two important posts of 'Xia Xiang' and 'Privy Envoy', that a major event occurred...

One of the only two remaining immortal officials of the dynasty, Tang Rong, the [He Kui] who guards the Western Region, secretly returns to Chiyang City.

She told Si Zi that her life was almost over... and while there were still a hundred or two hundred years left, she wanted to train a successor to guard the Western Regions.

Although this news had not been spread out, it was a shock like the earth turning upside down in the most powerful circle of the Shengxia Dynasty.

Because the news was kept secret, the important officials who knew the news did not even reveal it to their own blood relatives.

Therefore, there was no news from the outside world...

but.

Every minister who heard the news was filled with panic.

Hidden worries and uneasiness.

Tang Rong is older than Xuan Xuan. She was a cultivator during the Zhou Zhang period.

Zhouzhang is the reign title used by the 52nd Dynasty Wahuang, Emperor Suiyi of the Hundun clan. Therefore, she is now years old.

She had taken the first step into the Divine Mind Realm, 'Fantasy', and was originally supposed to live for 15,000 years... She was not supposed to live to the day of her death.

Unfortunately, Tang Rong's Taoist foundation had been damaged, causing her life span to be reduced to around 11,000 years.

But in any case, she has lived a long life...

Compared with the successive generations of Queen Nuwa or the family heirs who possess the Zhubao.

[He Kui] Tang Rong was originally in charge of guarding the demons in the Southern Region. During the Pingqing years, not long after Emperor Fenghe took control of the world, the immortal official [Deng Ming] died suddenly... There was chaos in the Nine Lakes and Seventy-two Mountains in the Western Region. After Emperor Fenghe and Si Zhen conquered and pacified the chaos, she was ordered to guard the Western Region.

The Southern Region is secretly guarded by Privy Councilor Jiang Ying, who only needs to return to Chiyang City to report on his work once every ten years.

The Privy Councilor's office was also moved to the southern region.

Of course, the imperial capital still retained the original Privy Council building.

Jiang Ying rushed back from the Southern Region for Jiang Hui's funeral, so she was a day and a night late. She relied on her cultivation to return at a high speed, several times faster than Penghe!

In other words, from that time on, Jiang Ying...

Due to the severe shortage of immortal officials, the Privy Councilor was given the additional responsibility of guarding and supervising the Southern Region.

[He Kui] Tang Rong chose Lu Jiao, and she told Si Zi that she would train him.

Since ancient times, the twelve divine stars would shine upon the candidate for immortal official when he or she was born... But there were a few exceptions, that is, when the previous generation of immortal official was about to die, the divine star with the same name would give a revelation and designate the next generation of immortal official candidate.

After Tang Rong entered into a state of meditation, under the guidance of the divine star [Hekui], she saw the shining stars of the Chiyang Imperial Capital.

And the person of Xingyao is none other than Lu Jiao, the descendant of the eleventh clan of the Wa Emperor, the respected Lu clan! Tang Rong realized that after her death, the other party would take over her position as the immortal official [He Kui] and become one of the strongest people in the human race!

Therefore.

He returned to the capital secretly overnight.

Tang Rong said it clearly, and Si Zi was in a heavy mood but there was nothing he could do.

He had no choice but to send Xuan Xuan, who was guarding the imperial capital, to the Southern Region, and let Lu Jiao follow Tang Rong to the Western Region to practice.

As for the East China Sea crisis that the successive Wa Queens worried about... somehow, after her eldest daughter was taken away by the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea, she felt that the other party was not as cruel and threatening as the successive Wa Queens had said in their messages, with the intention of destroying the human race or something like that.

Because when they had that brief contact, she had already reached the level of Feixiang in the Divine Mind Realm.

But she had no idea of ​​the other party's strength, and the moment the Dragon Lord opened his mouth... she only felt herself entering the Mingjin Pot and turning into a small candle flame, floating in the boundless darkness.

The other party's steady and heavy voice had a guiding power, leading her to an extremely warm and bright place.

only.

The trance at that moment was gone very quickly, it wasn't even an illusion.

If you don't recall it carefully, you will hardly remember it and it will be completely forgotten in some corner of your mind.

But after such a trance, Si Zi subconsciously felt that the Dragon Lord of the East Sea might be more powerful than all the inferences in the records. Maybe...

Perhaps it has the unspeakable power as told in ancient legends.

It may be easier for the other party to destroy the human race than the three emperors Sui, Xu and Nuwa had speculated. That is to say, the inheritance of humanity has continued for 80,000 years, and the other party may not have any intention of destroying the world.

Therefore, Si Zi thought that leaving the immortal officials to guard Chiyang Town and secretly guard against the East China Sea was actually a useless effort!

of course.

Si Zi could not guarantee whether his speculation was correct.

However, although the world seemed peaceful during the Yusheng period, in reality the power of the top cultivators of the human race was already in a state of transition and undercurrents were surging... She had to be on guard against the monsters of the Izumo Kingdom.

——If Jiang...Oh, it would be good if Ning Jun didn’t leave.

Di Taihe sighed as he looked at the girl not far away, who was enjoying the delicious food on the table.

In addition to her eldest daughter who was imprisoned in the East China Sea Eye, she now has three daughters. The person in front of her is her second daughter (A)...

Taking into account the special circumstances created by the Xuanlun Seal, the other party and the second daughter (B) cannot meet.

of course.

Differentiating between A and B does not mean which one is more important, it’s just because the former appeared first.

Considering that 'B' and herself have lived in the palace for a long time, and 'A' lives in Jiang Mansion, and in a sense receives relatively less care... Si Zi feels guilty.

So he would take advantage of the time when 'Yi', that is, Si Xi, was concentrating on cultivation to summon Xia Li to the palace for dinner, and specifically ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal.

Because of this, Shengsheng was quite happy to come here...

At this moment, she suddenly found that Si Zi was looking at her and sighing. She didn't know whether he was thinking of Youyouzi, and she looked confused.

After swallowing the spiritual food in his mouth, he asked kindly.

"Auntie Zi, don't you want to eat it? It tastes great."

"...Hey, why do you two look so worried?"

This private banquet in the palace was no different from any other. It was basically just Si Zi, Si Xin, and Sheng Sheng herself. There were only three of them at the table...

None of the three of them were serious or particularly observant of ancient etiquette, and they had a close relationship, so during the meal they basically said whatever they thought of and talked about whatever topics they wanted to talk about.

Very casual.

Normally, we would have started eating and chatting at this time. Why is the atmosphere so depressing like today?

Shengsheng realized that there might be something wrong.

"...The food today tastes good. Are you two dissatisfied?"

"Or... is there something that happened that I'm not aware of?"

Xia Li is not stupid. Si Zi has already sighed many times before they even started eating. Something big must have happened to make the Emperor Nuwa like this.

The girl tugged at the sleeve of someone next to her and asked directly.

"Chan'er, tell me."

That someone is naturally Si Xin.

When Shengsheng came to the palace to eat, Si Zi always sat on the east side, and she and Si Xin sat on the west side, sitting next to each other. The two tables with dishes were only an arm's length apart, and Shengsheng could grab Si Xin's sleeve with just one hand.

"Sister, you should ask mother."

"Tsk~."

Shengsheng rolled his eyes at the other person.

In front of Si Zi, the young girl Chan pretended very well.

At this time, she would not call herself "sister" in a delicate voice, but would call her sister.

She is dignified in appearance, and has the bearing of a royal lady... She will never say anything she shouldn't, and will always consult Di Taihe before doing anything, and let her respected mother make the decision.

Only Si Zi believed that she was so well-behaved. Well... countless people who were unaware of the situation were also deceived.

As Xia Li, who raised her, how could he not know what kind of personality the young girl Chan had?

It is no exaggeration to say that...

Forget it! I'd better not say it. After all, there is a saying that goes "learn by osmosis".

"Why--."

"It's not a big deal actually."

Si Zi didn't want Xia Li to feel burdened. Ning Yun's departure was actually a great loss to the human race of the Shengxia Dynasty... As the Queen of Wa, she had a huge responsibility in this regard. If it wasn't for her own selfish thoughts...

and so.

Whenever Si Zi thought of Ning Yun, he felt guilty and remorseful.

In addition, Tang Rong is now old, and after she specifically asked to take Lu Jiao away...the Southern Region does not even have a Daluo Immortal who is powerful enough and trustworthy enough to be entrusted with the responsibility of supervision and guarding.

This made Si Zi miss Ning Jun even more. If the other party was still there, she would not be so stretched.

I have to send Xuan out...

This is the first time Xuan has been sent abroad since she became [Xiao Ji].

Actually.

These twelve immortal officials each have their own duties, which were decided the moment they were chosen by the twelve divine stars.

Among them, [God Queen], [Rain Master], [Xiao Ji] and [Da Ji] are also called the 'Four Immortal Heads', that is, their strength among the twelve immortal officials must be top-notch.

Correspondingly, the power is also greater!

If we follow the ancient system.

The four immortal leaders had to stay in the imperial capital. They guarded the four palaces of the imperial capital respectively... In the early days of the Shengxia Dynasty, when the capital had not yet been moved, the first Empress Nuwa, her sister Fuxi, the eldest daughter Emperor Shi Yi, and the second daughter Emperor Yi moved their family of four to live in Yanzheng City.

There are four square temples in Yanzheng City, which were built by a great emperor at the end of the Fire Era.

The entire Inti Dynasty lasted for 39,800 years, and the two emperors, Sui and Xu, made their capitals in this city...

It is rumored.

The Sifang Temple holds a shocking secret about the survival of all living things in the Fire Age. The secret stone tablet of Empress Wa in Shengsheng's hand was brought out from the Temple.

However, Yanzheng City was destroyed by a disaster and the capital had to be moved to Liyin City.

Yuliyin City was established as the capital about ten thousand years ago. Because of the collapse of the sky and water, the capital was moved to Shaoyang Mountain, which was closest to the rising of the first fire - that is, the "Chiyang City" today.

In other words, sending [Xiao Ji] Xuanxuan to guard the Southern Region...

This is almost the biggest violation in history since the establishment of the Twelve Immortal Officials System.

Chapter 24: Outside Changyang Palace, who knows my secrets?

This time dispatched.

This also indirectly shows that there are not many people who can be used in the current Shengxia Dynasty. Although there are loyal children of the rich and powerful, and there are many talented people...but the top-level, that is, the number of Daluo Immortals who can be entrusted with the important task of guarding a region has reached the point where they can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, they had to violate the ancient system and send Xiao Ji, one of the four immortal leaders, to guard the southern region.

Fortunately, Xuan Xuan was a reasonable person who knew how to advance and retreat, and was quite reliable. She also did not suspect that Si Zi had any intention of being disrespectful, alienating, or moving away from the center of power, so she quietly obeyed the order and went to the South Region.

When Xia Li asked about it, Si Zi told her everything without hiding anything.

"Lu Jiao has returned, but she will leave with Master Tang Rong tonight."

"The only thing she asked for before she left was to see you..."

As he said this, Si Zi looked at Sheng Sheng helplessly.

He thought to himself, could there be something special about his second daughter? Otherwise, why could she always charm those beautiful girls? When I say beautiful girl, I am not saying it casually.

If you count the people who have been connected with your daughter, they are all great immortal cultivators.

Last time, Su Huan also said that the rising star of their demon clan, the proudest treasure of the Sky Fox Demon Saint Yu Zhiyi, could not forget Xia Li!

Think of the demon saint.

Si Zi sighed inwardly, the title of Demon Saint is a title that can only be given to demon cultivators of the seventh realm. However, it is not as strict as it was at the beginning, and gradually evolved into the twelve major clans of Izumo.

If the clan leader of a large clan were to say so, even if he was only at the seventh level of Taiyi, he could be given the title of Demon Saint.

In the past, there were too many "demon saints" who were not worthy of their name, and there were only three or two real Daluo among the Twelve Saints.

Of course.
