Su Xin had taken 21 Heavenly Fire Essences from the Tongtian Island Arsenal. After giving them seven, Su Xin directly swallowed the remaining 14 and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Naturally, Li Bo and the others also needed to cultivate in seclusion to digest the power of the Heavenly Fire Essences. However, they could not cultivate together. After all, someone still needed to take care of the Jiangnan Path.
Therefore, aside from Li Bo, Gao Changqing and Zhao Yiming, who were about to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm, also cultivated in seclusion. Jiangnan Path was temporarily managed by Liu Hao and Zhao Changqing.
Refining 14 Heavenly Fire Essences in a row had greatly improved Su Xin's strength, but it was not as much as he had imagined.
Heavenly fire was born of the world, and the Heavenly Fire Essences, which were condensed from refining a small world, contained the power of that world.
Unfortunately, a small world was still a small world and not a real world. Therefore, there was still a slight flaw in the Heavenly Fire Essences, which made it impossible for Su Xin to completely integrate his spirit with the world.
However, it did not matter. Su Xin had obtained enough power from the Heavenly Fire Essences. He was now only one step away from advancing to the Harmonious Divine Realm, but this step was not so easy to cross.
Although Su Xin had the mutated bloodline of the Su family in his body, making it much easier for him to break through the bottleneck compared to ordinary warriors, it still depended on the bottleneck.
The bottleneck between the Divine Transformation Realm and the Harmonious Divine Realm was not so easy to break through.
However, at this moment, a black fog curled up in Su Xin's secluded cultivation room, and a figure walked out from within.
Su Xin did not move because Su Xin was very familiar with the aura of the person who came. It was Magistrate Cui.
Perhaps it was because his identity had been exposed, or perhaps it was because Su Xin was not an outsider, Magistrate Cui did not wear his Magistrate's Mask.
Seeing Magistrate Cui come, Su Xin asked, "Is there any news from the Ninefold Sword Pavilion?"
Magistrate Cui's expression was a little unsightly. He nodded and said, "There is news, but there have been some changes."
Su Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the Celestial Court up to this time?"
Currently, the keys to the Nine Levels Sword Pavilion were in the Hades and the Celestial Court. Of the nine keys, the Celestial Court had five, and the Hades had four.
The Hades had decided to join forces with the Celestial Court to explore the Nine Sword Pavilion. Based on the number of keys they had, the Hades would probably make concessions in certain aspects. Now that something had happened, it was obvious that something had happened to the Celestial Court.
Magistrate Cui said, "This time, it was really the Celestial Court that had a problem. However, it was not the Celestial Court who had deliberately caused trouble. Instead, there was a traitor in the Celestial Court who had stolen the two keys to the Nine Levels Sword Pavilion!"
Hearing Magistrate Cui's words, Su Xin was stunned. There was actually a traitor in the Celestial Court who had stolen two keys at once.
In terms of the organization's degree of secrecy and strength, the Hades was actually far inferior to the Celestial Court.
Although the Celestial Court had suffered heavy losses in the past, after all, they had built a foundation in the past. Almost all the talents cultivated by the Celestial Court were existences that had been secretly cultivated by the Celestial Court since they were young.
Most of the true members of the Hades were born in the Jianghu. For example, Magistrate Cui and the others were recruited into the Hades after they had a certain level of strength in the Jianghu.
On the other hand, the members of the Celestial Court were the opposite. Their members would only be allowed to enter the Jianghu after they had achieved a certain level of martial arts.
It was precisely because of this that the members of the Celestial Court were the least likely to betray. At least, this was the first time Su Xin had heard of the members of the Celestial Court actually rebelling. Furthermore, they had given the Celestial Court a vicious stab at such a crucial time.
Su Xin frowned and said, "Are the people of the Celestial Court useless? With the Celestial Court's system, they actually didn't notice that someone had betrayed them. Furthermore, they actually allowed the traitor to steal the two keys to the Nine Levels Sword Pavilion. "
Magistrate Cui snorted and said, "The Celestial Court is too confident. They are so confident that they think that no one in the Jianghu would dare to have any ideas about them.
Originally, Lord Dizang Of Goguryeo was discussing with the Emperor Of Heaven about exploring the Nine Levels Sword Pavilion together. At that time, the traitor of the Celestial Court, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, had already made his move.
In order to ensure the five keys' safety, the Celestial Court gave them to five members who were stationed in the Celestial Court all year round. One of them was the Nine Brilliance Star Lord.
Therefore, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord took advantage of the fact that the Emperor Of Heaven wasn't around to ambush and kill one of them. He took one of the keys and fled the Celestial Court. "
"Then why did the Nine Brilliance Star Lord betray the Celestial Court? He should know what the consequences are, "Su Xin asked.
The Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Palace were definitely unfathomable existences.
Su Xin did not know how strong the Heavenly Palace was, but he knew how strong the Hades were.
The Hades had experts in the Real Martial Realm who were at the top of the Jianghu. They also had countless experts under their command.
When Su Xin first entered the Hades, he thought that the Hades only had two experts in the Yang Spirit Realm, Meng Po and Houtu. In the end, he saw Qinguang Wang Mie.
Who knew if the Hades still had experts in the Yang Spirit Realm?
There were three Yang Spirit Realm experts in the Hades who could suppress a top force outside, but what about the Celestial Court, which was even stronger than the Hades?
Whether it was the Hades or the Celestial Court, the punishment for traitors was very severe. Was the Nine Brilliance Star Lord really tired of living? How dare he betray the Hades?
Magistrate Cui said in a deep voice, "It's funny. The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, so he betrayed the Celestial Court at the critical moment.
However, as a warrior who stayed in the Celestial Court for a long time, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord rarely went out. Did he fall under the control of the White Lotus Sect just because of these few encounters? "
Su Xin frowned when he heard the name White Lotus Sect again.
These guys really had a high sense of existence. Was the White Lotus Sect really going to come out now? That was why they stirred up trouble in the Jianghu. Now, they even dared to plot against the Celestial Court.
Su Xin asked, "How strong is the Nine Brilliance Star Lord?"
Magistrate Cui said, "The peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. He has just touched the edge of the Integration Realm."
Su Xin said in a deep voice, "I've come into contact with the White Lotus Sect quite a few times. It's really possible for them to do something like that.
Back when the Jiangnan incident started, the higher-ups of the White Lotus Sect acted against the former chief constable of Jiangnan, Jin Wulin. They sent several experts to confuse him, causing him to completely become a dog of the White Lotus Sect in the end.
However, a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm has a tough mind. It's not that easy to confuse them. That's why the White Lotus Sect sent several people to hide around him when they were trying to confuse him, constantly influencing his mind.
Now that the Nine Brilliance Star Lord rarely comes out, it's obvious that the White Lotus Sect has sent real experts. It's not even certain if the other party is in the Yang Spirit Realm. That's why they took advantage of this opportunity to confuse him and bury him among the people of the Celestial Court. "
Magistrate Cui shook his head and said, "It's too late even if we know all this now. However, the Celestial Court has said that the Hades will also go after the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. As long as we can capture the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, we can split the spoils evenly when we enter the Nine Sword Pavilion."
Su Xin sneered and said, "They messed up, but they want us to clean up after them?"
Magistrate Cui said, "There's nothing we can do. After all, we're in a hurry to enter the Nine Sword Pavilion. We're missing two keys. Not only will the Celestial Court suffer losses, but the Hades will also suffer losses."
Su Xin was rather speechless. This matter had been full of twists and turns, giving him a bad feeling. The trip to the Nine Brilliance Sword Pavilion would probably not go so smoothly.
However, since the Hades had already made their decision, he just had to take action. A Nine Brilliance Star Lord in the Soul Transformation Realm should not be able to cause much trouble.
However, Su Xin was worried about the White Lotus Sect.
He had dealt with that crazy woman, Bai Ling. The lunatics of the White Lotus Sect were not to be trifled with.
Since the other party could confuse the Nine Brilliance Star Lord, they should have a plan.
"Then where is the Nine Brilliance Star Lord right now?"
Magistrate Cui shook his head and said, "I really don't know. The Nine Brilliance Star Lord was already skilled at disguising himself when he was in the Celestial Court. Although he's only average in strength, he's the strongest in the Celestial Court when it comes to disguising.
However, if he wants to give the keys to the White Lotus Sect, he'll have to pass through Jiangnan and Jianghuai. So, you just have to pay attention to some suspicious people in these two places. "
Su Xin nodded. Since the Hades had made a decision, there was no problem. He just had to cooperate. After all, he would definitely have a share in the Nine Sword Pavilion in the future.
Moreover, Su Xin had a ready-made excuse to impose martial law in Jianghuai and Jiangnan.
After all, the White Lotus Sect had just appeared, and they killed a chief constable of the imperial court. It was normal for Su Xin to search for traces of the White Lotus Sect in these two places, as well as to see if there were any suspicious people.
At this time, in a secret chamber in a hidden place on Jiangnan Road, Bai Ling and Ning Qing stood beside a black-robed man with a blank face. They were fiddling with a white lotus inlaid with golden edges.
The black-robed man was extremely handsome. Moreover, it was the kind of devilishly handsome that people would find it hard to shift their gazes away.
His entire body was covered in loose, pitch-black robes, but there was a black lotus mark on his forehead, which made him seem even more devilish.
As Bai Ling fiddled with the White Lotus, she said indifferently, "The Nine Brilliance Star Lord is a spy that we've painstakingly planted in the Celestial Court. Is it worth it for you to use him now?"
The black-robed man said in a gentle voice, "Why not? This is a rare opportunity for the White Lotus Sect. The Nine Sword Pavilion's value is definitely far beyond your imagination. The White Lotus Sect has been dormant for so long, and we even suffered heavy losses in that battle. No matter what, we have to make up for what we've lost all these years, don't you think so?"
Bai Ling put down the White Lotus and looked at the black-robed man. She said indifferently, "But do you think that the White Lotus Sect is qualified to compete with the Celestial Court and the Hades? Those who snatch food from the tiger's mouth are lunatics, but those who snatch food from the dragon's mouth are fools.
Lord Black Lotus Sacred Envoy, have you not thought of this? "
