In the outer hall of the emperor's bedchamber in Luoyang, it was gloomy and dark, probably because of the dead people. A row of candles as thick as an arm could not illuminate the day.
The candlelight was swaying, and people were haunted. The dim light floated on Cui Qingyu's face. He was summoned to the palace in the middle of the night to meet the emperor's younger brother, Zhao Heng.
However, he knew that it was not the famous Zhao Heng who wanted to meet him, but the real ruler of the royal family, Zhao Jingshi, the King of Qin, the Great Guru!
On the steps, there was a man in a bright golden dragon robe. He did not wear a crown, and his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. He looked casual and carefree. His facial features were deep, and it was hard to tell his age. He looked somewhat similar to Zhao Heng and his brother. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, showing a bit of arrogance. But his eyes were deep, like an ice lake, showing the maturity of time and suffering. It was the King of Qin, Zhao Jingshi.
"If Chief Su did not see me, I would not know that Master Cui came to Luoyang. Sorry for the neglect." Zhao Jingshi spoke slowly and addressed him as Master Cui instead of Minister Cui.
Cui Qingyu had been in charge of the Cui family for many years on behalf of his brother, and now he was the mainstay of the family. He had seen all kinds of things and experienced all kinds of dangers. At this time, he calmly cupped his hands and said, "I heard that there was a change in Luoyang. I was worried about the situation, so I came here overnight. I did not have time to tell others.
You don't have to be so polite. "Zhao Jingshi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Cui Qingyu without any emotion. After a while, he suddenly smiled," Gao Teng of North Zhou Dynasty, are you used to the climate and food in Luoyang? "
Hearing this, Cui Qingyu's face suddenly changed. He clenched his right hand tightly as if he wanted to draw out his long sword. He forced a smile and said, "I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty."
Zhao Jingshi sighed and said, "If it weren't for Luo Denomination and Plain Girl Sect's reminder, I wouldn't have known that the Cui Family of Pinjin and the Zhang Family of Longnan lowered their status to please Gao Lan."
At this point, Cui Qingyu knew that the matter had been completely exposed and there was no room for concealment. He slowly drew out the Sword of Stopping War and said with a sigh, "After the incident at Marquis Longnan's Mansion, I knew that the matter had been leaked. Even if it hadn't been leaked, it wouldn't be difficult for the experienced Super Arresters of King of Qin and Six Fan School to figure out the whole story since Zhang Baili would rather die than to conceal it."
"Since you know, why are you still here?" Zhao Jingshi asked the same question as the Oracle of the Covenant on Jiang Shang.
Cui Qingyu smiled and said, "He has already been lured to Shen Du and is in the formation. What difference does it make whether he comes or not?"
"Fishing?" Zhao Jingshi asked meaningfully.
Cui Qingyu stroked the sword with his left hand. "Without the sudden death of the Emperor and the disappearance of Sima Shi, why would Brother Gao and I think we have the opportunity to create internal strife, provoke contradictions, and take advantage of the situation? Unexpectedly, we have fallen into a trap. "
Zhao Jingshi smiled and said, "I am not a cold-hearted prince. This matter was suggested by the Luo Denomination and the Plain Girl Sect. But after thinking about it, I found that this was the only way for the two masters to enter Shen Du with the Heavenly Weapon and Brother Gao. So I have to make some sacrifices. The world is so big that there is nothing that can be satisfied without paying. Anyway, the Emperor is greedy for beauty and went on the wrong path. He is far less potential than the emperor's younger brother. "
"But aren't you worried that the Luo Denomination and the Plain Girl Sect have other plans? They are not good people! " Cui Qingyu tried to sow discord. The reason why he was afraid was that the Dharma King of the Luo Denomination was ambushing nearby. "Moreover, colluding with the heterodox demons is a great crime. Once exposed, they will be in a more dangerous situation than the two of us!"
Zhao Jingshi shook his head, "How could I collude with the heterodox demons? I just bought a piece of information from them, listened to a suggestion, and paid them accordingly. As for whether they have other plans, I don't know and I don't want to know for the time being. But as long as I meet them, I will definitely kill them! "
"Was the death of the Imperial Consort Hua not killed by the Luo Denomination?" Cui Qingyu pointed his long sword.
Zhao Jingshi said expressionlessly, "She became a follower of the Luo Denomination because she wanted to have a child and fight for favor. Even if she didn't commit suicide, I would punish her."
"Good, very good!" Cui Qingyu laughed and his beard and hair suddenly flew in the air. He was heroic and extraordinary. He said loudly, "I am here with the Heavenly Weapon, so is the Master of the Zhang Family. Together with Gao Teng, brother Gao, we still have a chance to break out of the Shen Du Formation!"
How could a powerful man who came from the Blade Mountain and Blood Sea be easily frightened!
At this time, a man walked out from the back of the hall. He wore a loose robe with big sleeves and an ordinary face. He looked like an old clerk next door. It was Sima Shi!
He held a Nine Dragon Seal in his hand, which complemented the Emperor's Sword in Zhao Jingshi's hand. His momentum was vast and covered the entire palace.
"I thought Zhao Jingshi sold you to the Luo Denomination or the Plain Girl Sect. I didn't expect you to do it willingly." Cui Qingyu was not too surprised.
There was no Yin-Yang Separation Handkerchief, no Mountain River Map, only a voluntary disappearance!
Sima Shi was slightly surprised and did not say anything. At least for now, he was one of the mainstays of the Zhao Family in Shen Du and could not be sacrificed.
Zhao Jingshi said calmly, "Once Gao Teng takes action, the Ruan Family and other top aristocratic families will not sit idly by. In the Luoyang Formation, they will be able to trap him or even capture him. As for the Master of the Zhang Family, the grandmasters of the Zhao Family will temporarily trap him in the Luoyang Formation. Sima and I, plus two Heavenly Weapons and the Formation, will not be able to do anything to you."
"What you are doing is shady. We will no longer have anything to do with the heterodoxy. The bigger the trouble, the more disadvantageous it is for you!"
Because it would involve the other top families!
Cui Qingyu calmed down and calmed his mind. He held his long sword horizontally and made a gesture of stopping. "If so, why don't you take action?"
He only hoped that the people of Pinjin could see the opportunity quickly and welcome Gao Lan to the south to avoid the disaster of being exterminated.
Zhao Jingshi still did not take action. He curled his lips and said lightly, "The alliance of the nine families is the cornerstone of the Great Jin Dynasty. Only by forsaking the past and cooperating with each other, can we compete with the North Zhou Dynasty and gain time to improve our strength. As long as the Cui Family is willing to sign the contract and cut off the connection with the North Zhou Dynasty, you are still the Marquis of Pinjin and the mainstay of the imperial court."
There were two ancient bamboo slips in his hands. No one knew which corner of the Zhao Family's treasure house he found.
But Cui Qingyu's pupils shrank. Obviously, he knew this kind of contract. He thought for a while and did not say anything.
"Gao Lan has Lu Da as his enemy. If he goes to the south, he will provoke Su Wuming. In a short time, I am afraid that he will not support your two families in the turmoil. He just wants to reap the benefits. You should know this!" Zhao Jingshi's tone became stern. "If you are so stubborn, then I have to cut off my arm to survive. I will not tolerate the evil!"
"Without you two families, it is better than having you two families join the enemy!"
Sima Shi took a step forward calmly and blocked the only breakthrough that Cui Qingyu had just found.
Cui Qingyu suddenly sighed. He turned his sword around and cupped his hands,
"The King of Qin is magnanimous. I am ashamed."
Zhao Jingshi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. A sincere smile appeared on his face and he said generously,
"After going through all the trials, we are brothers. When we meet again, we can forget the enmity with a smile!"
"Minister Cui, please sign this contract and then accompany me and Sima Shi to the House of Marquis Longnan."
…
The orange light shone in the void like a dancing flame. The water quickly disappeared and the dry heat spread around.
A Heavenly Weapon! Liu Shengming's pupils shrank. He was shocked and scared.
Su Meng, the Frenzied Blade, had a Heavenly Weapon?
He had a Heavenly Weapon!
A Heavenly Weapon was the rarest thing in the world. Those who had a Heavenly Weapon were all top sects and top families. Even if they had declined and no top masters appeared, as long as there was a guru and a Heavenly Weapon, there was a possibility of revival. Therefore, Heavenly Weapons were the foundation of sects and families for thousands of years.
Other than them, there were no other Heavenly Weapons in the world!
Su Meng relied on a Precious Weapon to kill a person at the peak of the Exterior Realm with a Heavenly Weapon. Now that he had a Heavenly Weapon, how terrifying would he be?
Even if Hasula was not the owner of a Heavenly Weapon, he was not good at weapons. He was far behind the Bodhisattva of Joy and the Oracle of the Covenant who had the token of Dharmaraja. But now Su Meng had a Heavenly Weapon. He had a Heavenly Weapon!
"A Heavenly Weapon!" The Oracle of the Covenant's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his face was burned by the high temperature. He had a bad feeling that things were out of his expectation.
With the Frenzied Blade in his hand, even if he cooperated with the Bodhisattva of Joy, he could only defeat Meng Qi but not stop him from escaping!
Fortunately, he had other means!
He waved his hand and the transparent short blade vibrated violently.
In a secret place deep in the void, the Wizard King of this World was practicing and moving his five fingers.
The short blade flew out like a fish returning to the sea. It pierced through the void and directly appeared beside Mengqi.
Meng Qi, on the other hand, had his eyes half-closed. He focused all his senses, spirit, and sense of danger on the orange-yellow godly saber. Suddenly, he took a step forward and his body expanded. He swung his saber from top to bottom and hit the transparent dagger precisely!
Clang! The flame rolled and suddenly filled the entire space that had become a separate world. Many lights flashed on the surface of Liu Shengming's body, but they quickly melted away.
"Ah!" He screamed. His clothes were ignited and his body was quickly scorched. He could not even resist the aftermath of the Heavenly Weapon!
This was also because of the special environment. If it was in the outside world, he still had a chance to escape far away and only suffer the weakest aftermath. But here, it was a separate world and there was no escape!
At this time, the lotus throne under the Bodhisattva of Joy bloomed with red and white light. Lotus leaves flew up and wrapped her hands. Then she bent her fingers and pointed at Mengqi. It happened to block his next change and create an opportunity for the transparent short blade. Once hit, the Bodhisattva and Arhat would fall into the sea of love and fall into the endless paradise.
Mengqi had just activated the Heavenly Weapon to split the transparent short blade when he saw the Bodhisattva of Joy pointing at him. At the same time, he felt a stabbing pain between his eyebrows. Gu Xiaosang's Qi dynamic came from afar and was ready to attack.
She seemed to also have a Heavenly Weapon. This pressure forced Mengqi to divert more than 30% of his attention to resist. Under the joint attack of the Bodhisattva of Joy and the Oracle of the Feng Dian, he was in danger.
Just then, Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat. A silhouette appeared behind him. It was the same silhouette that had appeared out of nowhere. He held a Lightless Dark Sword in his hand and thrust it at the back of Meng Qi's head. It was another divine weapon!
Before this, Mengqi did not have any premonition of danger!
The Head of the Tower of Malevolence?
The Head of the Tower of Malevolence with a Heavenly Weapon!
He grasped the perfect timing. It was when Mengqi was focused on fighting the Bodhisattva of Joy, the Oracle of the Feng Dian, and Gu Xiaosang. He had no energy left to resist. If he dodged, he would not be able to escape from the transparent short blade, the Infinite Bliss Finger, or Gu Xiaosang's thunderous attack. Moreover, the void here was blocked and there was no way to escape.
No wonder he was the most powerful assassin. Once he attacked, it was a dead end with no hope of survival!
The long sword was about to reach him. Suddenly, the Head of the Tower of Malevolence heard Mengqi sigh. A light rose and enveloped him, making him disappear without a trace.
"Deceased: Head of the Heaven and Earth Sect, Lin Kang."
"Cause of Death: Sword at the back of the head."
"Cause of Death: Body leaning forward with a narrow wound at the back of the head."
"Killer: Assassin of the Tower of Malevolence."
"Note 1: Year 37 of Tianle, Ningxin City."
"Note 2: The first person killed by the current Head of the Tower of Malevolence since his debut."
