In Nakagawa's court, there was a rumor that there was an Imperial Preceptor in the royal family. He was known as the Peony Alchemist, and he was very fond of planting all kinds of peonies. His cultivation level was unfathomable, and he was mysterious and low-key. Many people had only heard of him, but had never seen him.
Most people guessed that this person's cultivation level should be in the Tribulation Passing Stage. Now that Hayashikawa saw this scene through the Tenseigan, he was almost certain that this handsome and young cultivator was the Peony Alchemist. His cultivation level was also in the Tribulation Passing Stage.
Not far from the Peony Alchemist, there was Sage Nakagawa in his imperial robe, and his personal guard, Wu Ming.
"Is it over already?" Hayashikawa's Tenseigan emitted a bright sky blue light, and after a moment of silence, he no longer focused on these cultivators, but turned to the hall that the Tribulation Passing Stage cultivators had just walked out of.
"This is …"
At this moment, Hayashikawa's vision was full of golden light, interweaving into a huge network that covered the entire hall. Hayashikawa was no stranger to this light, and the power flowing in it came from the Taiyi Dao Scripture.
"They really did contact the Taiyi Clan, but what is this golden network used for? Is it a formation, or a way to communicate with the Taiyi Clan, or something else … "Hayashikawa stared at the flowing golden light, trying to remember the pattern in it, but he found that these threads were changing all the time, and it was impossible to remember. After just looking at it for a while, he felt a little tired.
"There is indeed something special about it, but this time I have to be careful, or I might really fail," Hayashikawa thought to himself.
Then, with the Tenseigan's ability to see through things, Hayashikawa carefully observed the inside and outside of the hall, and found nothing strange, so he temporarily withdrew his gaze.
"Did you find anything?" Bu Lian Shi asked after seeing Hayashikawa deactivating the Tenseigan.
"I saw the eight Tribulation Stage cultivators, including the mysterious Peony Alchemist. Also, I saw a large number of intertwined golden threads in the hall behind them. The power flowing in the threads is from the same source as the Taiyi Scripture. So, I can be sure that the royal family is indeed borrowing the power of the Taiyi Clan. As for how they are borrowing power and how they are going to attack, I didn't discover anything else," Hayashikawa explained.
"Do you remember how those golden threads were arranged?" Bu Lian Shi asked.
According to Hayashikawa's description, she felt that it was very likely to be a formation. Perhaps she could give it to someone who was familiar with formations to study its specific functions.
"No, there is no way to memorize it. The threads are constantly changing, and there is no pattern to them." Hayashikawa shook his head.
"If you are sure that it is a formation, you can let Jinyao take a look," Qin Lang said with a frown.
Jin Yao was indeed very talented in array formations. Qin Lang had passed all the array formation manuals that he had obtained over the years, as well as other things that the Divine Envoys had occasionally obtained regarding array formations, to Jin Yao. In terms of array formations, she had already far surpassed most cultivators.
"It's not impossible …" Hayashikawa's heart skipped a beat.
If he could bring Jinyao or other cultivators who were good at formations and see the golden network with their own eyes, they might be able to understand what it was. However, this method was very dangerous. If something went wrong, they would all die. After all, that was the palace of the Nakagawa royal family. There were probably not many places on the continent that were more heavily guarded than that. Now that there was a Tribulation Stage cultivator there, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an impenetrable fortress.
Just as they were talking, a man in black walked in from outside.
"Where are you from? Are you here in the Imperial City to obtain some information?" The man's voice was hoarse, and his face was hidden under a mask. He was obviously the person in charge of delivering information here.
Previously, Hayashikawa had only entered according to the established method of knocking on the door, which meant that they were on the same side. However, he was not sure where they came from, and if he wanted to get information, he had to reveal his identity.
"Who is the person in charge here? Just let him come over," Qin Lang said.
The subordinates could not explain these things clearly, so it was better to call the person in charge here directly. It would be much more convenient to do whatever they wanted.
Of course, Qin Lang did not think that his words could make the other party really call the person in charge. Therefore, when he spoke, he slightly revealed the aura of a Mahayana Stage cultivator. It should be known that even in the capital of Nakagawa, Mahayana Stage cultivators were very rare. To have such a cultivation meant that Qin Lang's status must be very high.
Feeling Qin Lang's aura, the black-clothed cultivator immediately trembled. He did not say anything more and respectfully turned around and left.
"In this Cultivation World, strength is king!" Hayashikawa chuckled.
Without Qin Lang's Mahayana Stage aura, even if Hayashikawa's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Mahayana Stage cultivator, his Unification Stage aura was not enough.
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in quickly from the outside. The cultivation fluctuations on his body faintly told everyone that he was at the Unification Stage and was also the person in charge with the highest cultivation here.
"Which side are you three from? What information do you want to get?" The person said respectfully.
This stronghold was set up in Nakagawa, but there were also people from the Akatsuki organization. A lot of information about Black Tortoise was also obtained from here. Therefore, this person needed to first confirm whether Hayashikawa and the other two were from the Akatsuki or Prince Jin.
Qin Lang paused and slightly raised his right hand, revealing the black ring with the word 'Zhu' on his ring finger.
The moment the word 'Zhu' appeared, the middle-aged man's face immediately changed and his whole person became even more respectful.
Because he knew that the person standing in front of him at this moment was not an ordinary person, but a divine envoy of the Akatsuki organization. Coupled with the interaction between Qin Lang and Hayashikawa and Bu Lianshi just now, he could basically confirm that the three people in front of him were divine envoys. They were terrible existences that the entire Nakagawa continent feared.
"We need the recent movements of the royal family, as well as a detailed map of the palace. In addition, the various formations arranged in the palace, as well as the strength of the guards, gather as much information as possible!" Qin Lang said directly.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The middle-aged man nodded and turned to walk outside. At the same time, he called several black-clothed men and began to give orders one by one. The operation of the entire intelligence stronghold was orderly and very meticulous.
"Nakagawa has done a good job in this regard. We can now get the information about the palace and see the situation of the defense there before making a plan." Qin Lang said softly.
"The palace, now it seems that we really need to go there." Hayashikawa secretly thought.
