The sky was orange, the white clouds were dyed, and the river flowed endlessly. It had witnessed the joys and sorrows of life and death.
Meng Qi slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and bottomless. The mountain in front of him was still the same mountain, and the river was still the same river. However, under his gaze, it was no longer as pure as before. He could see all kinds of tiny and fleeting gaps, and he could see them overlapping with the countless faintly discernible "illusory" scenes.
"The Seal of Void …" Mengqi whispered. The magic in his eyes disappeared and returned to normal. The mountains and rivers were no longer the same.
Meng Qi stood up and put away his Lingbao Divine Saber. He walked to the corpse of the Head of the Tower of Malevolence, which had been badly mutilated by the aftermath of the last blow. He lifted the head that was still relatively intact.
There was no veil on the head. His forehead was broken, and his brain and blood had long been splashed. There were only a few red and white marks left. His face was ordinary, and his eyes were wide open. They were frozen in the pain and joy of relief.
With his back straight, Meng Qi carried the head and walked step by step towards Luoyang. The higher he 'walked', the higher he went.
…
In the palace, the back hall of the Political Affairs Hall was the resting place of the Emperor.
The King of Qin, Zhao Jingshi, sat behind the desk. On his left were Cui Qingyu, the Head of the Cui Family, and Cui Yan. On his right were Zhang Bailing, the Head of the Zhang Family, and Zhang Baili, the Political Affairs Advisor. Sima Shi, the former chief of detectives of the Six Fan School, was standing beside him.
"The Luo Denomination and the Plain Girl Sect colluded with the spies of the North Zhou Dynasty to kill the late Emperor and trap Sima Zhenzheng in an attempt to overthrow the Great Jin Dynasty. Fortunately, you were able to see through the details and successfully rescued Sima Zhenzheng and thwarted their conspiracy. Zhao Jingshi said calmly. This was what he would say later. "Now, the matter is over. After 27 days of mourning, I will let my brother ascend to the throne."
At this moment, Zhao Heng was not qualified to participate in the high-level exchange between the Zhao Family and the top families in Shen Du.
Cui Yan and the others looked gloomy. They bowed and said, "The King of Qin is flattering us."
Suddenly, Cui Qingyu thought of something, "Where is Chief Su?"
Behind this young man stood many Dharmakaya masters and top forces. He himself was also a tyrannical person. He must pay attention to his movements!
Zhao Jingshi's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Chief Su is young and impetuous. Maybe he is chasing the spies of the Luo Denomination, the Plain Girl Sect and the North Zhou Dynasty …"
He wasn't too sure about what he said. He had some vague guesses, but he tried his best to avoid getting himself into trouble.
The Frenzied Blade pursued the Luo Denomination, the Sect of the Plain Lady, and the North Zhou Dynasty spies all by himself? Wasn't he afraid of an accident? Cui Qingyu, Zhang Bailing, and the others were stunned at first, but soon realized that this was probably the tacit understanding between the Emperor of Qin, the Luo Denomination, and the Plain Girl Sect. In short, they chose to turn a blind eye to anything that was not a threat to them and let them do whatever they wanted to do. Success or failure had nothing to do with them.
The Luo Denomination and the Sect of the Plain Lady would definitely not underestimate Su Meng's current strength, the martial arts he had displayed, and the Unsolvable Blade that he possessed. They would definitely make a proper plan to ensure that nothing would go wrong. At the very least, they would send out heavenly weapons, at least two Half-step to the Dharmakaya realm, and maybe even a Dharmaraja himself. Su Meng was afraid that Su Meng would be in danger. Sigh, he had too many forces involved.
While thinking, Zhao Jingshi gently knocked on the table with his right hand, "Dear ministers, it's time to prepare for the court meeting."
Before he finished speaking, he, who was under the Forbidden Spell of the Imperial Palace, suddenly felt something. He looked forward, passing through layers of void and looking at the gate of the palace.
Su Meng, the Frenzied Blade? After a while, Cui Qingyu and the others also felt something.
He came back alive!
The Luo Denomination and the Plain Girl Sect did not have any conspiracy or ambush?
At this time, Mengqi had already reached the gate of the Political Affairs Hall and walked step by step to the back hall.
He wore a green robe that was not stained with blood. His hair was tied up and wrapped in a towel. His left hand was hanging down and his right hand was holding a bloody head. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart.
Thump, thump, thump. Zhao Jingshi's heart involuntarily beat faster. Seeing Mengqi stepping into the back hall, he suddenly became nervous and thoughts surged in his mind.
He came back!
Mengqi stopped between Cui Qingyu and Zhang Bailing who were shocked and confused. He threw the head in his hand on the table in front of Zhao Jingshi. Two round eyes were staring at Zhao Jingshi. The pain and joy of relief made people's hair stand on end.
"Chief Su, this is?" Zhao Jingshi had experienced many ups and downs. He had already calmed down and asked in a low voice.
Mengqi touched his right palm with his left hand as if he was wiping away the blood. He said calmly,
"The current Head of the Tower of Malevolence."
"The current Head of the Tower of Malevolence?" Cui Yan and Zhang Baili blurted out, doubting their ears.
The Head of the Tower of Malevolence who ranked top ten on the Terrestrial Rankings? The Head of the Tower of Malevolence who had never failed in the past decades? The Purple Stair Assassin who had a Heavenly Weapon and walked in the dark?
Cui Qingyu, Zhang Bailing, Sima Shi and Zhao Jingshi were also shocked but they only slightly lost their composure. The latter involuntarily sat up straight and said, "Is it really the Head of the Tower of Malevolence?"
This was a mysterious, terrible and extremely dangerous guru. He was like a poisonous snake that always hid in the dark in the eyes of ordinary people. He never moved, but once he moved, he would kill without exception. Who was not afraid of him? Who would want to provoke him?
But now, only his head was left, quietly looking at her.
He died in the hands of the Frenzied Blade Su Meng?
Zhao Jingshi trembled slightly as if there was an electric current spreading from his tailbone. He actually felt a little fear.
Mengqi put his hands down naturally and said in a tone as if he was talking about the weather, "I went to handle a case and fell into an ambush. I met the current Bodhisattva of Joy, the Oracle of the Covenant who had the token of Dharmaraja, the Siren of Grand Luo who was hiding in the dark, and the Head of the Tower of Malevolence who attacked at the most appropriate time."
He did not say the specific situation of the battle or the result, but the process and result were on the table and in front of them. The Frenzied Blade came back, the Head of the Tower of Malevolence left his head, and the rest of the people were either beaten back or died without a whole body.
Cui Yan and the others gasped. Such a lineup could barely kill a Dharmakaya, but they could not do anything to the Frenzied Blade and even let him kill one of them?
How powerful was he? What kind of heaven-defying item did he have?
Shock, surprise, speculation, doubt and all kinds of emotions surged in the hall. It was completely silent, so quiet that it was strange.
Mengqi did not care about their reaction, but stared at Zhao Jingshi's eyes. Looking at his eyes that seemed to shrink into pinholes, he smiled slightly, "Since Chief Sima of Detectives is back, I don't need to temporarily replace you. Please settle the salary for this period of time and the reward for killing the Head of the Tower of Malevolence."
Zhao Jingshi was a little scared and forced a smile, "What reward do you want, Chief Su of Detectives?"
"Yama's Grass, Ice Soul …" Mengqi seemed to be prepared and a long list of names rushed out.
These were the materials needed to refine the Heavenly Weapon with the Eye of Ice Crystal and the Ghost Gate of Nether. It cost 30,000 Karma points to exchange from the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms.
Of course, Mengqi doubled all of them to pay for the loss of the Seven-Kill Tablet and the mental damage.
Zhao Jingshi's face was a little dull, but he looked at the eyes of the Head of the Tower of Malevolence and thought about what it meant to spend money to avoid disaster, so he said as if his teeth hurt, "There are a lot of them that I don't have …"
"Just make it up with something of corresponding value," Mengqi was very easy to talk to and did not insist at all.
After a while, Zhao Jingshi asked Sima Shi to go to the Zhao Treasury to get it.
In the process of waiting, Mengqi did not say anything and just stood there quietly.
After an hour, Sima Shi returned and handed a Space Ring to Mengqi. Mengqi took a quick look and found it roughly matched, so he did not care about it and put it away.
Zhao Jingshi was quite pained, but thinking of the consequences of this matter and the fact that he did not have the ability to keep the Killing Blade, he could only bear it. Even with the wealth accumulated by the royal family from generation to generation, this bag of treasures took up a lot of it. This was like cutting off an arm!
Putting away the Space Ring, Mengqi turned around and walked to the door with his hands clasped behind his back. When he was about to step out, he said lightly,
"Don't do it more than three times."
"If it happens again, even if you hide in the Formation of Shen Du and are protected by thousands of masters, it will be easy for me to take your life."
His voice reverberated and the figure disappeared.
Zhao Jingshi's face turned green and his lips trembled, but he did not say anything in the end.
Because after breaking through the deadlock and killing the Head of the Tower of Malevolence, the Killing Blade Su Meng's words were not a warning or a threat, but a real declaration, a reality that would really happen!
He could always do what others thought impossible!
"… even if you hide in the Formation of Shen Du and are protected by thousands of masters, it will be easy for me to take your life."
…
After leaving the palace, Mengqi went back to the Su Mansion to see Su Li. He reminded him that the power balance in the world was out of balance. Before a new balance was formed, there would be many troubles and Shen Du was one of them. If possible, the whole mansion should leave Shen Du as soon as possible.
But when Su Li asked where should they go, Mengqi did not know how to answer. The catastrophe had come. Although the world was big, was there a paradise?
…
Leaving the capital by boat, Mengqi enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the river and adjusted his mood.
At night, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky and the waves were sparkling. It was unusually quiet and quiet. Occasionally, other ships could be seen.
When two ships passed by each other, an elegant female voice suddenly came into Mengqi's ears.
"Do you want to know the background of the Ajati Matriarch?"
