Chapter 543

As soon as Pei Daotong took the bell, he felt that there seemed to be meridians and blood vessels on its surface. They were warm to the touch and slightly agitated, making his heart beat faster for no reason. His primordial spirit also felt dizzy, as if it was about to leave his body and seek refuge in the pure land.

"Grand Tutor Pei, thank you for this." Next to him, the emperor Xiao Xuan nodded.

Pei Daotong put away the bell and solemnly cupped his hands. "I will not let Your Majesty down."

He turned around with his head held high. His pace was still steady, without any sense of impatience or panic.

…

Shannan Province, Xianping prefecture.

The wind blew and the clouds moved in the sky. The sunset gathered and Mengqi's thin figure in a black Taoist robe appeared. His eyes were flashing with greenish-purple lightning, completely reflecting the scene in the official residence below.

Wang Yuanfu, the governor of Xianping prefecture, was a martial cultivator who had survived a lightning tribulation. He was Pei Daotong's disciple before he became the Grand Tutor. He had always been loyal and vowed to follow Pei Daotong. Therefore, even though he was an official, he could pass the lightning tribulation with Pei Daotong's help and obtain supernatural powers.

This kind of candidate who was not strong but could create a good stimulation for Pei Daotong and Xiao Xuan was most welcomed by Mengqi.

The scene in front of him changed and finally fixed on Wang Yuanfu, who was wearing an official robe. Mengqi stretched out his right hand and pressed down. Flames appeared out of thin air and turned into a red pillar of fire, blasting towards Xianping prefecture.

The red pillar of fire seemed slow but was actually fast. It absorbed the surrounding energy and strengthened its own red flames. The color gradually turned dark purple and the scale seemed to be condensed. All the heat around was absorbed, forming white frost and ice.

When it fell above the official residence, Wang Yuanfu only noticed it and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late.

With a flash of fire, he was hit by the pillar of fire. His body and clothes turned into ashes, and he did not even have time to scream.

The red light dissipated, and a deep hole appeared. It was dark and scorching, and the bottom could not be seen. The surface was like magma, flowing slowly and then condensing into different colors of glass.

Outside the deep hole, there was no trace of burning, which showed the precision of the power control.

Meng Qi stepped on the Flame Dragon and fled far away, disappearing into the depths of the sea of clouds.

After more than two hours, lightning flashed. Grand Preceptor Pei was like a celestial being. Stepping on a lightning dragon, he appeared in the Xianping Commandery Office. He looked down at the deep hole that glowed with a crystalline pillar of light.

"Gather …" The muscles on Grand Tutor Pei's face seemed to be twisted. His voice was low and majestic. He gritted his teeth and wished he could tear the person in front of him into pieces.

Every single aperture in his body shone. There was a deity residing within each of them, and together, they formed the scene of the Heavenly Court. The space between his brows split open, revealing a silver-purple vertical pupil that released endless divine radiance.

This eye was the magical power of the Jade Emperor Divine Fist after seven Thunder Tribulations. It was called the Heaven-searching Celestial Eye. It had the ability of the All Seeing Eye and the Way of Yi. It was said to be able to see beyond the sky and the Yin Spring. It was one of the sources of confidence for Pei Daotong to chase after Mengqi.

The silver-purple vertical pupil flickered and the image it projected changed continuously. However, even after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, it still could not reflect Meng Qi's whereabouts with the help of the remaining breath in the deep hole!

"As expected of a Taoist Venerable who came from beyond the heavens …" Grand Tutor Pei's tone was still gritting his teeth.

He could actually dodge the Heaven-searching Celestial Eye!

Back then, Celestial Master Xu also failed to escape from this eye!

Pei Daotong took a deep breath and let the thunder dragon descend to the official residence of the prefecture. He took over the place and waited for the news from everywhere.

After a few minutes, a white light cut through the sky and entered the official residence, landing in Grand Tutor Pei's palm.

It was a white jade dagger engraved with runes and characters. It was the best treasure for long-distance messaging in the world.

Pei Daotong gently pinched it, and light and shadow rose from the dagger, turning into an official who was full of panic and fear. He shouted, "Don't worry.

He shouted, "Grand Tutor, Fu Li City was ambushed, and the Minister Qin is dead!"

Fu Li? Pei Daotong's face was as dark as water. The thunder dragon under his feet soared, and he had already rushed into the clouds, disappearing in an instant.

Not long after, Pei Daotong appeared in the sky above Fu Li City. He saw that half of the official residence was destroyed, and there was also a deep pit in the ground. There were no traces of fire or lightning.

The remaining official residence was in chaos, and the sky was full of stars. There was no one else to see. Where was Mengqi?

The Minister Qin, Fake Immortal Qin, was the teacher of His Majesty in the East Palace. He had the closest relationship with His Majesty. His strength was not low, and he had passed four trials. When Taoism was causing chaos in the world, he volunteered to go out and guard a place. His loyalty was evident. However, his cooperation with the City Defense Formation did not last long against the Demon Taoists, and he did not wait for his rescue.

"Demon Taoists …" Pei Daotong whispered the name again. Compared to the previous anger and anger, there was more impatience and helplessness now. He wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the other party, but he knew clearly that things were troublesome.

Even if the Intimidating Bell could capture the enemy, what was the use if he could not even see the shadow of the other party?

The Demon Taoists really had no dignity at all!

Mengqi, who was flying far away, seemed to feel Pei Daotong's curse. He actually shivered from the strong wind in the sky.

Hey, with the backward state of flying sword letter delivery, how could he resist my guerrilla tactics?

If there was the existence of the Myriad World Talisman in the real world, even without the ubiquitous legend, he would not dare to engage in guerrilla warfare.

The "delay" of the flying sword messenger was too high. It gave him enough time to escape and hide or change his target!

…

After Pei Daotong encountered a setback, he asked the current emperor, Xiao Xuan, and began to transfer masters from the capital. A few of them formed groups and guarded the important passes. He hoped that they could use the formation to entangle the Demon Taoists who came to attack and wait for his attack.

But in this way, the masters in the capital became stretched, and they had no choice but to use those who were not strong enough. The defense strength of various places was significantly reduced.

In a pavilion in the palace, Xiao Kun, who found an excuse to stay overnight in the forbidden room, waved his hand and closed the door and windows. He looked up at Li Zhongkang, Bi Zhongde, and Lu Siquan who were dressed as eunuchs and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhenren."

These three Thunder Trial Zhenren did not follow Xiao Kun into the palace, but through other means. As the state religion, Taoism had been around for many years. It was really a big tree with deep roots, showing its strength in the details. Originally, the masters who had passed the third trial and above had been purged, and there were few spies in Taoism. But as Mengqi fought all over the world, and the rest of the Zhenren made their own movements, this kind of masters had left the capital on a large scale. The original positions were given to the masters who had passed the second trial and even those who had just passed the thunder trial. There were many of these people, and there was no time to completely purge them. Naturally, there was no lack of people who were friendly to Taoism, so Li Zhongkang and the other two found an opportunity to sneak into the forbidden room.

"Lord Jiu, have you found out where the extraordinary item is hidden?" Li Zhongkang asked straightforwardly.

Xiao Kun nodded and said, "If my information is correct, the treasure is hidden in the imperial study."

"Okay, let's steal it tonight." Li Zhongkang did not hesitate at all.

Xiao Kun thought for a while and said, "Three Zhenren, you'd better not be so reckless. How can there be no restrictive spell at the place where the treasure is placed? If you are not careful, you will immediately alarm father. If he completely activates the protective formation of the palace, you will not be able to escape."

"Your Highness, what good plan do you have?" Bi Zhongde asked with a frown.

Xiao Kun said, "Since father succeeded in the thunder trial, he loves Concubine Hua very much. Because he can fuse his soul with his body and soul, tonight will not be an exception. Two of you will take the opportunity to attack father at night and bluff, so that he will be exhausted and unable to completely activate the formation of the palace in a short period of time. The other one will go to the imperial study. Even if you trigger the restrictive spell, you will still have a certain amount of time to search for the treasure. When you get it, sink it into the Appreciation Pool or throw it into the garden rockery, and then escape in the chaos. When things calm down, I will go to get it. Of course, if it is easy to carry, you can directly take it."

Li Zhongkang and the others thought for a while and felt that it was impossible to steal the treasure in the palace without some risks, so they nodded and agreed.

Late at night, outside the Glazed Pavilion that was now the Tai Chi Palace, Lu Siquan and Bi Zhongde quietly approached.

They gave each other a look. Their thoughts moved, and brilliant radiance suddenly appeared. Two streaks of divine ability light shot into the pavilion. One was sparkling and translucent, cold air pervading the air, directly sealing the pavilion in ice. The other flickered, silvery-white and dazzling. It destroyed the restrictive spell that was triggered and struck towards the bed.

Suddenly, a majestic and lofty aura spread out. The ice melted and the lightning dispersed. All the surprise attacks did not penetrate the bed at all.

Xiao Kun in the distant palace sensed this aura, and his face suddenly changed.

"Creator! When did father go through the seventh thunder trial! "

…

Li Zhongkang sneaked first and then broke in. In a few seconds, he forcibly stepped into the imperial study and saw the extraordinary glazed lamp.

He was delighted and was about to take it when a half-smiling voice suddenly came from behind,

"Namo Amitabha. If you want to take this lamp, you have to ask me first."

Li Zhongkang sensed it and found that there was another person in the imperial study. He was handsome, dressed in a gray robe, and had a shaved head. He looked relaxed and relaxed.
