But after a few steps, the commander of the Kirin Army stopped again.
"What's wrong?"
Elder Qin looked at him in confusion.
"You are stronger than me. I think it's better for you to go."
The commander of the Kirin Army said.
"I can't go."
Elder Qin shook his head.
"Why?"
The commander of the Kirin Army asked.
"Because of the State Preceptor."
"If the corpse is fake, then this must be a trap set by him. He wants to find His Majesty's whereabouts from me."
"So, I have to stay here and stop him."
Elder Qin said in a deep voice.
"I see."
The commander of the Kirin Army suddenly understood. Without hesitation, he turned around and entered the pagoda.
Elder Qin suddenly said, "Wait."
"What's the matter?"
The commander of the Kirin Army turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
"I'm about to faint because of the State Preceptor."
"I forgot to tell you one more thing."
Elder Qin rubbed his forehead.
"What is it?"
The commander of the Kirin Army asked.
"When His Majesty first arrived at the Butterfly Valley, he destroyed the Image Crystal in order to disguise himself as a victim."
Elder Qin said.
"Then how can I find him?"
The commander of the Kirin Army said anxiously.
"Don't worry. Although His Majesty destroyed the Image Crystal, he bought a new one in the capital of the Spiritual State."
"His Majesty only established a contract with one person with this Image Crystal."
Elder Qin said.
"Then it must be you."
The commander of the Kirin Army laughed.
Elder Qin shook his head and said, "No, it's not me. It's the last disciple I took in the Spiritual State."
"What?"
"Last disciple?"
The commander of the Kirin Army was surprised.
Inside the ancient castle.
Qin Feiyang was also shocked.
This old man took in a disciple in the Spiritual State without anyone knowing?
Who was so lucky?
One had to know.
It was a great honor to be chosen by a fake god and be taken in as a last disciple.
Similarly.
Anyone who could catch the eye of a False God would definitely be a monstrous genius.
The commander of the Kirin Army regained his composure and said with a smile, "Elder Qin, you have never accepted a disciple. Even a genius like Zhuge Mingyang is not worthy of your attention. I'm really curious. What kind of little guy can make you change your mind?"
Yiglao said, "A little girl called Murong Jing."
"Murong Jing?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned. Why did this name sound so familiar?
Yiglao continued, "As for her talent, be it in cultivation or alchemy, it can only be considered average."
"However, she has a good personality and is sensible. She also keeps a low profile. This old man quite likes her."
"Accepting her as my disciple can also be considered fate …"
Elder Qin was about to tell the commander of the Kirin Army about his fate with Murong Jing, but he suddenly shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Go and find her when you arrive at the Spiritual State. She is in Alchemy Room No. 1 in the inner palace. It's easy to find her."
"Does she know Your Majesty's identity?"
The commander of the Kirin Army asked.
Elder Qin said, "She doesn't even know my identity and cultivation strength, let alone Your Majesty. I only told her that Your Majesty is my good friend."
"What does she look like? Also, give me the coordinates of the inner palace. "
The commander of the Kirin Army said.
Although he was a big shot in Imperial Capital, he didn't know much about the situation in the Spiritual State.
Elder Qin glanced at the mountains and rivers around the Spiritual Pagoda warily and led the commander of the Kirin Army into the Spiritual Pagoda.
Qin Feiyang also drove the ancient castle into the Spiritual Pagoda.
Elder Qin waved his hand, and the door of the Spiritual Pagoda quickly closed. Then, he looked at the commander of the Kirin Army and said solemnly, "The reason why His Majesty established a contract bridge with such a small figure was because he was worried that something like today would happen again. So, when you go to see Murong Jing, don't let anyone see you."
Then, he added, "Also, the fact that she's my disciple can't be told to anyone else, especially Qin Feiyang. If that brat finds out, with his personality, he'll definitely follow the clues and find Murong Jing."
"I understand."
The commander of the Kirin Army nodded.
He knew how important Murong Jing was.
If Elder Qin couldn't leave or something happened, then Murong Jing would be the only person who could contact His Majesty.
However, there was one thing that puzzled him.
He looked at Elder Qin and asked in puzzlement, "Why didn't His Majesty establish a contract bridge with you?"
"Because I attract too much attention, and my every move could be monitored."
"Especially Qin Feiyang. With the ancient castle, it's hard to guard against him."
"What if one day, when I send a message to His Majesty, he sees me?"
"But Murong Jing is different."
"She's just a small figure, and no one knows her identity. Even if someone sees her, they wouldn't know that she's the only one who can contact His Majesty."
Elder Qin smiled.
"That makes sense."
The commander of the Kirin Army nodded.
Qin Feiyang, who was in the castle, couldn't help but give Elder Qin a thumbs up.
That was so thoughtful.
If he didn't hear it with his own ears, he wouldn't even think about Murong Jing, let alone Murong Jing.
Elder Qin smiled faintly and waved his hand. The power of the False God appeared, and the image of a young woman appeared in front of the two.
"It's her!"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
It was a very ordinary-looking woman, but she had a great figure. She wore a snow-white dress, and her hair was draped over her shoulders. She looked like she was in her twenties.
Although she looked ordinary, she had a unique aura that made it impossible for people to ignore her.
"You know her?"
Lu Zheng asked.
Qin Feiyang said with a wry smile, "I entered the inner palace with her. Of course, I know her."
"What kind of person is she?"
Lu Zheng was curious.
If she could enter the inner palace with Qin Feiyang, she wouldn't be as ordinary as Elder Qin had said.
"Her talent isn't great, but she's quite talented in alchemy."
"Back in the Spiritual State, other than Lu Xingchen and I, she was the only woman who could make supreme-grade elixirs."
Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
Lu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "I knew it. Old Man Qin this old man is talking nonsense."
"He's not talking nonsense either."
"After all, he's a False God, and he's arrogant. How could he take Murong Jing's talent seriously?"
"But Elder Qin is right about one thing. This woman is famous for being low-key in the state capital. Many people have asked her to make elixirs, including the Treasure Pavilion in the city, but she didn't agree."
Qin Feiyang said.
Lu Zheng said, "So, she doesn't care about fame and fortune?"
"She doesn't care at all."
"Maybe that's why Elder Qin accepted her as his disciple."
Qin Feiyang said.
"She's an interesting woman. I must meet her when I have the chance."
Lu Zheng lifted the corner of his mouth and revealed a playful look.
-Outside the inner city-
Elder Qin gave the coordinates of the inner palace to the commander of the Kirin Army and gave a jade pendant to the commander of the Kirin Army.
He said that this was a token for Murong Jing.
Only when she saw this token would Murong Jing help him contact the Emperor.
The commander of the Kirin Army memorized the coordinates. After putting away the jade pendant, he immediately turned around and activated the teleportation altar. Soon, he disappeared.
However, Elder Qin didn't know that Qin Feiyang also followed the commander of the Kirin Army into the teleportation altar.
After the commander of the Kirin Army disappeared, Elder Qin waved his hand and opened the gate of the pagoda. He walked to the square outside and glanced around the mountains with a chilling light flashing in his eyes.
Then.
He waved his hand again, and the stone pagoda of the pagoda closed tightly.
At the same time.
On the top of a mountain far away, the National Master concealed his presence and stood by the cliff, looking at the pagoda and Elder Qin from afar.
Yan Wei stood behind the National Master respectfully with the corpse in his arms, looking at Elder Qin and the pagoda as well.
Moments later.
Yan Wei withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "Sir, the commander of the Kirin Army hasn't come out for a long time. As you expected, he must have gone to the Spiritual State."
"What do you know?"
"I want Elder Qin to go to the Spiritual State, not the commander of the Kirin Army!"
The National Master said gloomily.
"Is there a difference?"
Yan Wei was puzzled.
"Of course there is a difference."
"If Elder Qin goes, the pagoda will be guarded by the commander of the Kirin Army. With his strength, he won't be able to stop this old man."
"Moreover, this old man can seize this opportunity to kill him!"
"But now, Elder Qin wants the commander of the Kirin Army to go to the Spiritual State while he guards the pagoda. It's basically impossible for this old man to follow him to the Spiritual State."
The National Master said angrily.
Yan Wei nodded in realization.
Suddenly.
The National Master rolled his eyes and looked at Yan Wei, "Go and test him."
"How?"
Yan Wei was suspicious.
The National Master said, "Go there now and say that you have something to do in the nine states. If he stops you and even ignores Emperor Hong, it proves that he really knows the whereabouts of the emperor."
"This subordinate understands."
Yan Wei nodded, put down the corpse, opened a portal, and descended in front of the pagoda.
"He really came!"
Elder Qin secretly sneered, looked at Yan Wei, and asked expressionlessly: "What are you doing here again? This old man does not welcome the National Master's lackey. "
Yan Wei frowned, and said: "I am under the orders of the National Master and Emperor Hong. I have something to do in the nine states, and I ask Elder Qin to open the pagoda door."
"Bringing out Emperor Hong again?"
"But this time, this old man will not take half a step back!"
Elder Qin secretly snorted, and said indifferently: "Since you are under the orders of Emperor Hong, then take out Emperor Hong's handwritten order, or else there is no need to talk!"
Hearing this, Yan Wei's eyes flashed, and he glanced in the direction of the National Master, and said: "Elder Qin, open the pagoda door, this will eliminate the National Master's suspicion of you."
"Hmm?"
Elder Qin was secretly shocked, and asked: "What do you mean?"
"The National Master has long suspected that you know the whereabouts of the Emperor. This time, he asked me to come here to test you."
"If you don't open the pagoda door, that will confirm his suspicions."
"On the contrary, if you open the pagoda door now, he will dispel his suspicions and will never bother you again."
Yan Wei thought.
Elder Qin's pupils shrank, and said: "Aren't you the National Master's subordinate? Why are you telling me this? "
"Who said I was the National Master's subordinate?"
Yan Wei snickered.
"Hmm?"
Elder Qin was surprised, and thought to himself: "If you are not the National Master's man, then whose man are you?"
"You will know in the future."
Yan Wei smiled mysteriously.
Elder Qin looked at him deeply, waved his hand, and the pagoda door quickly opened.
"Hmm?"
In the distance.
The National Master was stunned. He actually opened the pagoda door?
What was going on?
Could it be that his previous guesses were all wrong?
"You are very smart, because the National Master is watching from afar."
