The mountain was high, and the wind was cold. The sun was shining brightly, and the mountain was covered in white snow.
A tall black hat and a black cape fluttered in the cold wind. Gao Guan stood alone on the cliff of Covered Snow Mountain, his face expressionless.
A figure quietly came from the mountains. When he saw the lonely figure on the cliff, his expression turned serious. He quickly flew up and landed beside Gao Guan, bowing respectfully. "Subordinate Xiao Linman greets Lord Right Emissary."
Gao Guan did not turn his head. He looked into the distance indifferently and said, "No need for formalities."
Xiao Linman did not let go of his hands. "It is I who came late. I have made you wait."
Gao Guan, "It is I who came early. It has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Linman blushed with shame. "I should have personally reported to you, but I did not expect to disturb you."
Gao Guan, "This is a serious matter. I happened to be passing by here, so I stopped by. Tell me, is the information reliable? "
Xiao Linman replied, "The information cannot be said to be reliable. It is just that I have sensed something amiss."
Gao Guan calmly said, "Speak!"
Xiao Linman muttered, "According to the reports from the men I planted in the Ten Elemental Palace, something strange happened in the Ten Elemental Palace on the same day. Although the Ten Elemental Palace did their best to conceal it, I still noticed something unusual. After summarizing the situation in the Ten Elemental Palace, some of the disciples who served the important figures in the Ten Elemental Palace reacted differently than usual. Some no longer used the spring water in the mountains to boil tea, some suddenly focused on cultivating, and some no longer went out for their daily strolls. If it was only one palace, it would not be a big deal. I would not dare to disturb you. However, all ten palaces have shown signs of abnormalities. I am afraid this is not a coincidence. I feel that it is necessary to report to you. "
Gao Guan, "Have you made a detailed report?"
Xiao Linman immediately took out a jade archive and respectfully presented it with both hands. "I have written the detailed report inside, one by one."
Gao Guan stretched out his hand. Xiao Linman gently placed the jade archive in his hand. Gao Guan took the jade archive and examined it for a long time. It was obvious that he had examined it in detail.
Xiao Linman secretly observed his expression. His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness. In his position, it was rare for him to have the opportunity to see the Supervising Right Envoy, Lord Gao Guan. It was just that the Ten Elements Palace was too quiet. There was almost no opportunity for him to perform, and no opportunity to perform meant no opportunity to make contributions, which also meant no generous rewards. What could he do with just some salary? Now that he finally had a chance to show off in front of the Right Emissary, he wanted to seize it. I don't want to miss it.
After a while, Gao Guan nodded slightly and said, "You've done a good job, to be able to discover the abnormality from these minor details. Letting you guard the Ten Elements Palace for so many years is a bit of a waste."
Xiao Linman was overjoyed. It was really rare to be praised by this trusted subordinate of the Celestial Emperor. He immediately said modestly, "This is all my duty."
Gao Guan coldly said: "There is no need to be humble. If you did well, then you did well. I never say such polite words."
Xiao Linman: "Yes! Thank you for your praise, Sir. "
The cloak swayed unsteadily in the cold wind. Gao Guan was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "From this matter, I can see your ability. It is indeed a bit of a waste to put you here. Recently, there are many things to do in the Right Division, and I can't find the right people to handle some of them. There are some more complicated things that I want to entrust to you. I wonder if you are willing to accept? "
Xiao Linman was full of excitement. Is he going to put me in an important position? He cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water."
Gao Guan: "You will receive the credit that you deserve. The Sixth Division is still lacking an assistant. You will go to the Sixth Division and the rest of the rewards will be in place after this. However, there are some things that you need to know. Your mission here is top secret. If you are suddenly rewarded, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion. After you go to the Sixth Division, I will not promote you for the time being. After a while, I will arrange an opportunity for you to make contributions. It will also be a good cover. I hope you can understand. I will bear with it for the time being. "
Xiao Linman's eyes flashed with ecstasy. Being the assistant of the Sixth Division was a promotion of two ranks. The other rewards would not be light either. He quickly replied, "I will follow your arrangements."
Gao Guan: "After this, I will arrange for someone to take over your current position. As for who will take over your position, you don't have to worry about it. There is no need to let the person who takes over know who the previous person is. Everything related to the Ten Elemental Palace must be kept to yourself. Do not speak of it to anyone else. Report directly to the Sixth Division. Do you understand? "
Xiao Linman naturally understood. Since it was a top secret mission, he could not allow news of it to spread. Unless he was tired of living, he solemnly replied, "I understand."
"Go!" Gao Guan tilted his head and looked at him.
"Yes!" Xiao Linman cupped his fists and retreated far away. Then, he turned around and flew away, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Gao Guan's expression did not change at all as he watched Xiao Linman disappear. The jade archive in his hand, however, cracked and turned into dust, scattering with the wind.
After a period of time, Xiao Linman finally arrived at the Sixth Division of the Right Division, which he had been looking forward to.
His superiors did not go back on their word. Not long after he arrived, they created an opportunity for him to perform a meritorious service. Xiao Linman naturally knew what this meant. This was special treatment.
After a small fight, several targets were captured. After receiving a few words of praise, Xiao Linman cupped his fists in thanks. But before he could raise his head, his defenseless body suddenly tightened. An Immortal Binding Rope had already bound him tightly, and he felt an intense pain in his chest.
He stared in disbelief at the treasured sword that had abruptly stabbed into his chest. He slowly raised his head and stared wide-eyed at the Sixth Division's Head Pei Mo, who had just been full of praises for him.
Pei Mo looked at him coldly and calmly said, "Go in peace. You died in the line of duty. Your family will be properly taken care of."
"Why …" Xiao Linman's eyes were filled with indignation. Blood gushed out of his throat. His internal organs had already been destroyed by the transcendence energy released by the treasured sword.
"There are some things that you don't need to know why!" Pei Mo pulled out his sword and swung it with a cold light. A head flew off …
The green mountains remained unchanged, the green water flowed for a long time, and the gurgling stream surrounded the mountains and valleys. Beside the jade-green pond, there was a boulder surrounded by orchids. A plain-clothed elder was fishing on it.
There was a strange sound coming from the mountain. The elder tilted his head to take a look. It turned out to be an old woodcutter carrying a load of firewood down the mountain slowly.
Seeing that there was no abnormality, the elder continued to fish peacefully.
The old woodcutter carried the firewood down the mountain along a small path. When he passed by the pond, a cold light suddenly shot out from the bundle of firewood on the left. With lightning speed, it struck the elder's back.
However, the elder's reaction speed was also extraordinary. Although he was caught off guard, he was still shocked and quickly grabbed the sword that pierced through his chest. He invoked his arts to suppress the power of this sword and suddenly struck out with his palm.
The bundle of firewood exploded, and the sword-wielder appeared. He brazenly welcomed the attack with his palm. When the two palms collided, there was a loud rumble. The surging transcendence energy instantly caused the mountains and rivers to collapse.
The sword-wielder was forced back, and the elder was already out of danger. He floated in the air and glared at the sword-wielder. His face was filled with anger as he shouted, "Who is it?"
What answered him was a flying sword that shot out from the other side of the bundle of firewood like a bolt of lightning, slashing out furiously. Another person broke the bundle of firewood and appeared. Together with the person who had been pushed back earlier, they charged forward to fight the injured old fisherman.
The old woodcutter was still carrying the shoulder pole on his shoulder. He calmly watched the battle in front of him in the midst of the surging dust.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't defeat the severely injured elder in a short period of time, the air around the old woodcutter surged rapidly and instantly condensed into a cold and murderous sword aura. The sword aura was silver and dazzling. His entire body suddenly turned into a sharp sword and shot out with an imposing manner.
The two people who were fighting with the elder quickly dodged, and the huge sword shadow flashed between them.
Boom! A muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the air. The elder formed hand seals and extended three fingers from each of his hands. Six of his fingers were pressed together in front of his chest, and the sharp sword aura of the silver white sword was actually trapped in front of his chest. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared at the person who was wrapped in the sword aura, as if he wanted to see the true face of the other party.
The person in the sword looked at him coldly. The two fingers that were guiding the sword aura to stab out exerted force again, and the sword aura split into twelve smaller swords that shot out.
"Skyair Palace …" The old fisherman's eyes widened as he let out a muffled groan. Immediately after, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was pierced by the twelve Astral Swords that he had defended against with all his might. The twelve Astral Swords gradually faded away, vanishing into thin air.
The old woodcutter floated in the air and looked at him coldly. One of them flashed over and killed the falling elder with a single slash of his sword. After returning, the two of them quickly rushed in another direction. The place the three of them were heading to was a mountain village a dozen miles away from where they were. The people in the mountain village had already been alerted by the intense fighting in the distance. Before they could figure out what was going on, over a hundred people had already surrounded them from all directions. The entire mountain village was turned upside down in an instant, and the ground sank into the ground.
The farmers working in the fields were all stunned by the scene of the battle between the heavenly deities. Some were trembling in fear, and some knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop …
In the majestic imperial palace, a large group of imperial guards protected the terrified emperor as they ran quickly. However, they couldn't keep up with the tumbling and collapsing ground. The palace hall collapsed like a broken twig, and in the blink of an eye, it was buried under the overturned soil.
The fight started from the imperial Daoist temple in the palace and spread to the entire imperial palace. Unknown people appeared out of nowhere and fought with the Daoist priests in the palace. It was as if the heavenly deities were fighting, and screams of shock could be heard everywhere. Very soon, a large group of imperial guards and the emperor who were protecting him raised their heads in fear. A palace hall flew down from the sky and slammed them into the ground.
The fight was very fast. In less than a moment, the ambushers had an absolute advantage in the battle. A group of slender black-robed men soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the blue dome of heaven …
At the pier by the river …
In the peaceful village …
