Hearing that, the orange cat showed a human-like expression of 'sighing in relief'.
"With the Soul Gathering Pill, my cultivation will be restored in just a few days" the orange cat spoke in human language with a casual tone.
In a place like the capital, it was still very dangerous to not have the ability to protect oneself. You might be discovered by the Royal Court's lackeys, or you might run into someone who was also hiding in the capital.
Is the Soul Gathering Pill really that effective? That's great, if the Daoist priest recovers, I'll be able to privately chat with him in the Earth Tome group … Xu Qi'an was pleasantly surprised, then asked in confusion:
"Since you're both from the Taoist school, why did the Daoist priest ask for pills from Renzong? Is the Earth Sect not proficient in pill-making? "
The orange cat went silent for a bit, then answered without much of a tone: "The cost of a Soul Gathering Pill is around a hundred taels of gold. And some medicinal ingredients can't be bought even with money "
It's not that our Earth Sect is bad, it's that Renzong's wealth is inhumane … what a tragic story! Xu Qi'an wanted to laugh, but was too embarrassed to do so.
"Did you find anything today?" The orange cat leapt onto the table and sat down next to the oil lamp, his yellow cat eyes appeared eerie and terrifying in the dim room.
Xu Qi'an explained the information he received from Prince Yu's estate, as well as his own deduction.
The orange cat listened to everything with a serious expression, then instinctively raised his front paw, wanting to lick it, but stopped himself and put it down without batting an eyelid:
"Your analysis is correct. The elopement of Monk Heng Hui and Princess Ping Yang was related to the internal strife of the Royal Court … but I don't understand, if Heng Hui was still alive, why didn't he appear earlier or later, but only after the Sampo Case was over? Furthermore, with his strength and level, he wasn't qualified to participate in the Sampo Case "
Although it was a question, there was no confusion in his eyes.
Xu Qi'an understood and nodded: "He had another force behind him, and I thought that force was the King of Zhenbei … If it wasn't for rebellion, then what was the purpose of releasing the Sealed Artifact? After all that trouble, all he did was kill Count Pingyuan … Daoist, do you think it was done by King Glory? He released the Sealed Artifact and killed all his enemies. "
"You mean to say that Princess Ping Yang is already dead, and King Yu is taking revenge for his daughter … That's not very likely. If King Yu knew about this, with his status as a Grand Prince, he wouldn't need to go to such extremes to take revenge" the orange cat shook his head.
"Why does your train of thought always stop at the imperial clan?"
Xu Qi 'an said dejectedly, "The suspicion on the King of Zhenbei is getting lighter. I'm really a little wife who wants to divorce … Sigh."
"His wife wants a divorce?" the orange cat tilted his head.
"All our previous efforts have been in vain," Xu Qi'an replied.
The orange cat's expression froze for a bit. "You sure have a nice way of talking"
If Heng Hui hadn't appeared and the Sealed Artifact had remained dormant, Xu Qi 'an would've retained his suspicions of the King of Zhenbei, believing that he was holding back for a big move.
However, Monk Heng Hui's current actions did not match the style of a Sealed Artifact.
He should've at least tried to kill the Emperor.
However, Xu Qi 'an hadn't completely given up on his suspicions. The Sampo Case had always been shrouded in mystery, and he could barely see through half of it. Furthermore, no matter how wide Xu Qi 'an's eyes were, he couldn't see through it.
The orange cat's tail lightly swayed as he suggested: "I think that you might've made a mistake."
Xu Qi 'an frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Both the King of Zhenbei and King Yu are members of the imperial clan. You suspect them because only the Yuanjing Emperor knows about the Sealed Artifact under the Sampo?"
Xu Qi 'an nodded.
The orange cat continued: "Excluding the Supervisor and the Yuanjing Emperor, the Buddhists also know about it."
Xu Qi 'an shook his head: "The Buddhists were one of the leaders back then. After the Sampo Seal was removed, the Green Dragon Temple's Abbot Coiling Tree went west, which shows how much importance he attached to it."
The orange cat said, "Demon race."
These two simple words suddenly gave Xu Qi 'an an epiphany.
I've always locked the mastermind behind the scenes within the imperial clan. If the sealed one is the Initial Supervisor, then this guess is reasonable … But, if it's not the Initial Supervisor, then it's not just the Yuanjing Emperor, the Supervisor, and the Buddhists who know about the Sampo Seal. There's another force that I've overlooked.
That's the force that the Sealed Artifact belongs to …
To be sealed for five hundred years without being destroyed, it's definitely a terrifying top-level Powerhouse. Such a person can't be a rogue cultivator … Could he be a demon? Hmm, this needs to be verified.
Xu Qi 'an took out the porcelain bottle, put it next to the orange cat, and casually said: "I saw the Grand Preceptor today. Hmm, he's a bit different from what I imagined."
The orange cat glanced at him. "He's not as sage-like as you think."
When Xu Qi 'an was about to nod, the orange cat added: "He's probably even more alluring than the girls from the Musical House. You're probably drooling over him."
No, no, I just can't help but want to give him a handle … Xu Qi 'an suddenly realized: "Sure enough, there's something wrong with him."
At home, there's a beautiful woman like his aunt, a beautiful girl like Ling Yue, the lively and cute Chu Caiwei, the charming and passionate nightclub queen, and the cold and arrogant Ice Goddess Princess Huaiqing … Xu Qi 'an has seen many beauties.
But he's never lost control of his mind, and his mind is always thinking about the color of banana peel.
This can only be the Grand Preceptor's problem.
The orange cat didn't answer directly, but asked in return: "Why do you think Renzong is called Renzong? Why does Luo Yuheng want to be the Grand Preceptor? "
After a pause, he continued: "Luo Yuheng is the daughter of the former Taoist Master Renzong."
Why are you telling me this? Are you implying that I can have sex with that woman? Xu Qi 'an smiled on the surface:
"As far as I know, among the three sects of Taoism, except for Tenzō, who is heartless, Renzong and the Earth Sect can all marry normally. Does the Taoist priest have any children? "
The orange cat shook his head. "I thought about it when I was young, but as I grew older, I became less interested in relationships. As for the love between a man and a woman, it's really vulgar. "
Really vulgar, and not because I have no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos flask when I'm middle-aged? Xu Qi 'an sighed:
"The Taoist priest has already transcended vulgar interests, admirable."
If all the men in the world are like you, I'll be happy … he added in his mind.
…
Late at night, the streets of the inner city were empty. The cold wind blew through the treetops, making a shrill howl.
The sound of uniform footsteps could be heard from afar as a group of patrolling guards came from the end of the street. After the massacre of Count Ping Yuan's family last night, the inner city's security had increased by several times.
A black shadow was walking through the inner city. He passed through the streets, seemingly not trying to avoid the patrolling guards, the Imperial Blade Guards, and the Golden Sentinels. But in truth, whenever someone's gaze fell on him, they would be blocked by something. Sometimes it was the walls, sometimes it was the eaves.
Just like that, he arrived at the Ministry of War's Office of the Minister of War. Looking up at the plaque, the lower half of his face could be seen through the hood, his purple lips curled into a sinister smile.
"Who's there?"
It was only now that the guards noticed the black-robed man, loudly scolded him while drawing their standard sabers.
The black-robed man raised his right arm, revealing his blood-red skin that was protruding with blue veins, like the arm of a devil.
He aimed his palm at the guards, then at the gate, then abruptly clenched his fist.
Boom!
The gate was pulverized, the guards were pulverized, and a shockwave rippled out from the explosion, pulverizing the walls and everything else in the vicinity.
In the Ministry of War's Office of the Minister of War, lights were lit up one after another, and cries of fear and alarm could be heard.
The guards in the Office of the Minister of War wielded their sabers and ran towards the gate.
The black-robed man no longer had any obstacles in front of him. He strode into the Office of the Minister of War, his deep black eyes coldly staring at the lights in the Office of the Minister of War.
Suddenly, the moment he entered the Office of the Minister of War, the scenery around him suddenly changed. The black-robed man's face turned slightly as he examined his surroundings.
He appeared in a desolate area, with dilapidated streets and withered weeds all around him. In the distance, he could vaguely make out a simple house.
This was a desolate area where even the poor couldn't be bothered to come. There were many places like this in the capital, but the capital of Daibun was too large, so places like this were selectively forgotten by the imperial court.
"I've set up a teleportation array in the Office of the Minister of War," someone said calmly.
The black-robed man turned around and saw a figure in white standing a few dozen feet away. The figure's back was facing him, his hands behind his back, his long hair and white robe fluttering in the wind.
The man's aura was extraordinary, and he gave people a sense of deja vu.
"Who are you?" the black-robed man asked in a hoarse voice.
"There's actually someone in the capital who doesn't know who I am. Man, you've successfully attracted my attention, "the man in white said.
The black-robed man snorted, raised his right arm, and lightly grasped at the man in white.
In the explosion of Qi, the man in white's figure dissipated like a reflection in water.
"You thought I was there, but I'm actually here." The man in white appeared in another direction, his back still facing the black-robed man.
"A fourth-rank warlock?" the black-robed man said in a low voice, and then he sneered, "A mere fourth-rank warlock dares to stop me."
His tone was extremely arrogant, as if he didn't care about high-ranked powerhouses.
"A mere fourth-rank warlock dares to stop me …" The man in white muttered a few words in a low voice, and praised, "Well said. Very bold words, and they have given me great inspiration."
After a pause, he said with a smile, "You're just a fourth-rank Warrior. Do you think you're qualified to watch from the sidelines?"
The black-robed man was stunned. He didn't know what the man in white meant, but he soon understood. In the east, west, north, and south, there appeared a night watchman in black uniform with a short cloak embroidered with Jinluo on his chest.
In the east, Jinluo's face was cold and expressionless. In the west, Jinluo was as handsome as a woman, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. In the north, Jinluo was holding a long sword instead of a standard longsword. In the south, Jinluo's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and there were fine crow's feet at the corner of his eyes.
Click, click, click … The sound of gears could be heard. To the left of the man in white, rows of continuous crossbows appeared out of nowhere, automatically cocking.
On the right, there were small cannons.
Bang, bang, bang … Boom, boom, boom …
Arrows and cannons were fired at the same time, concentrating on the black-robed man.
The cannons encountered a transparent air wall and exploded in mid-air. Along the air wall, beautiful waves of fire swam.
While the cannons shook the air wall, the talismans carved on the arrows lit up. They easily penetrated the air wall and shot toward the black-robed man.
The arrows themselves belonged to a small formation.
The black-robed man didn't panic. He raised his right arm, letting the arrows crash into his arm and break into pieces.
The cloak turned into pieces, revealing the black-robed man's real body. He was a handsome and evil young monk. His right arm was thicker than a normal person's, ugly and scary.
"… Copper skin and iron bones?" The white-robed man, who had his back to the others, said in surprise.
At this time, the four Jinluo attacked at the same time. Sharp spear and sword spirits burst out and attacked the black-robed man first. Nangong Qianrou and Jiang Lvzhong didn't use weapons. They chose to fight hand-to-hand.
"Buddha said, be merciful." The black-robed man put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.
The sharp spear and sword spirits hesitated and lost their sharpness, but they returned to normal in an instant.
The black-robed man took advantage of this critical moment to slap his right arm continuously. He defeated the unavoidable and unstoppable spear spirit and the sword spirit that could penetrate everything.
Then, he twisted his waist and hit back, colliding with Jiang Lvzhong's unparalleled fist spirit.
Jiang Lvzhong grunted. Blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth and he staggered backward.
The black-robed man took the opportunity to turn around and punched Nangong Qianrou's chest. Puff … The short cloak on his back exploded into pieces.
Puff … In the horrifying suction, Nangong Qianrou's face turned pale bit by bit.
A scarlet light appeared in Nangong Qianrou's eyes. His handsome face looked ferocious. He let out an inhuman roar from his throat and smashed his head on the black-robed man's face.
The two retreated at the same time. Unwilling to admit defeat, they fought again.
Four Warrior and an unknown monster were fighting in the desolate city. Wherever they went, the place turned into ruins.
Qi Ji exploded, setting off a terrible hurricane that swept across a radius of a few miles.
The Warlock in white maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close to them. In close combat, the Warrior was invincible in the same realm.
The Warlock's battle was naturally more elegant and graceful … The Warlock in white stomped on the ground and said loudly, "Earth's Killing Intent!"
The formation pattern spread from the soles of his feet and included the Warrior who was fighting. The ground that was already full of scars suddenly shook, forming a terrible force.
The Warlock in white stomped on the ground again. "Heaven's Killing Intent!"
Dark clouds suddenly rolled in the night sky. Bolts of lightning snaked in and out, and lightning was condensing.
"Human's Killing Intent!"
As the Warlock in white finished his words, the force of heaven, land, and human condensed into one and rolled toward the black-robed man.
It put him in a situation where the whole world was his enemy.
The ferocious and terrible right arm seemed to be stimulated and woke up on its own. An indescribably terrible force burst out, and the protruding blood vessels suddenly lit up.
The handsome and evil monk grinned and clenched his fist.
Boom … The explosion of Qi Ji swallowed everything.
