Chapter 613

Mengqi moved his newly regrown left hand and felt that his meridians, skin, muscles, and even acupuncture points were the same as before. There was no need for him to re-cultivate it. It was just a little jerky, but it should be as good as new after a little familiarization.

"Living Flesh and Blood is indeed worthy of the Dharmakaya level …" Mengqi praised in his heart. He smiled at the middle-aged man and saluted back.

"Thank you."

He was humble and not arrogant because he was Juzi of the School of Mo. It seemed that the only difference between them was their duties, not their status.

At first, the middle-aged man was surprised and delighted by Meng Qi's attitude. He felt extremely honored, but he soon realized that Juzi was indeed a perfect example of Love with Impartiality and Love with Impartiality. Love with Impartiality was not just a word. Knowledge and action must be unified.

Qi Zhengyan returned the salute and asked for the middle-aged man's name. The five of them had different tasks. Except for Mengqi and Ruan Yushu who were directly in charge of the followers of the School of Mo, the other three did not know many followers of the School of Mo.

Of course, the five of them were the ones who verified and recommended the followers of the School of Mo. Bai Song, Zhao Bai, and the others did not know who the followers of the School of Mo were.

"I'm Yan Kuan." The middle-aged man introduced himself. "I'm a follower of the School of Mo developed by Juzi and Mr. Ruan."

In other words, unless Mengqi and Ruan Yushu were caught, he was not afraid of being tracked down.

"Development …" Qi Zhengyan frowned. Although Mengqi often used this word, he felt it was strange to use it here.

Meng Qi finished healing his wounds and stood up. "Brother Yan, could I trouble you to go out and find out what's going on?"

"Juzi is too polite. I'll go right away." Yan Kuan left the kitchen and walked out as if nothing had happened.

"A nobleman with a duty is the least likely to be a follower of the School of Mo." Mengqi smiled and introduced to Qi Zhengyan. "But he's well-read and understands the general trend of the world. He has long despaired of the noblemen and hoped for a revolution to end the chaotic and cruel world. After hearing our lectures, he secretly came to us, hoping to become a secret follower of the School of Mo and help us with the reform."

He paused and sighed. "Although there is no class that betrays its own interests, there will always be individuals who betray their own class …"

"What did you say?" Qi Zhengyan was confused. Since the beginning of this task, he found that Junior Brother Meng could always come up with strange ideas and words, which surprised and amazed him.

Meng Qi curled his lips and put on a fake smile. "Nothing."

"Nothing." It was hard for those who had not gone through the nine-year education.

He answered perfunctorily and Qi Zhengyan didn't care. He didn't care about these things at all.

After a while, Yan Kuan returned to the kitchen carefully and looked at Mengqi. He said in a low voice, "There are squads of soldiers guarding every street to prevent pedestrians from going on the streets. It's said that Juzi and you had a disagreement with His Majesty about the reform. You killed people in a frenzy and escaped into the city. Now that the formation has been activated to isolate the inside and the outside, they want to search the city!"

"It's said that experts of the Exterior are coming out of the city to hunt you down!"

The Apotheosized World had high requirements for soldiers in order to capture powerful bandits and the formation map. They had to be enlightened no matter what. Therefore, there were not many of them. They could only block the main roads and search area by area. The experts of the Exterior were floating in the air, so they could immediately detect any unusual movements.

"Heh, they really framed us." Mengqi sneered. Although his expression didn't change, his eyes turned cold.

From the looks of it, Chen Wang was in grave danger!

King Chen trusted and valued us, but this was the result. I didn't kill him, but he died because of me!

I'm not a gentleman if I don't take revenge!

An unknown fire surged in his heart, and he secretly made up his mind.

Qi Zhengyan was expressionless. He narrowed his eyes and subconsciously clenched his fist with his left hand that wasn't holding the sword.

Yan Kuan sighed and said, "His Majesty has been working hard to govern the country, but, sigh, they are really shameless. Juzi, you have no foundation in Chen, and everything depends on His Majesty. Moreover, the reform is going smoothly, and the benefits are beginning to show. For the time being, there are no obstacles.

Most importantly, Juzi and the others were still young and hadn't crossed the first step of the Celestial Ladder. Even if they had secret treasures, how could they kill a monarch at the grandmaster level?

He paused and his expression became even more sorrowful. "I heard that many brothers of the School of Mo were arrested and thrown into prison. Fortunately, Mr. Bai, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang were lucky enough to escape."

"Many followers of the School of Mo were arrested?" Mengqi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his tumbling emotions.

"I can't let this matter go!"

Although he and the others had preached in order to complete the mission, they had changed their lives and gained their respect, trust, and practice. How could they turn a blind eye to this?

"If there is really no chance to save them, I will definitely" repay "them in the future!"

"Fortunately, Bai Song and the others who have most of the list of followers of the School of Mo saw the opportunity quickly …" After suppressing his emotions, Mengqi felt a little relieved. If the three of them were also arrested, the whole organization of the School of Mo would probably be destroyed. Now that most of the followers of the School of Mo were not in the public, they could hide in the dark.

At this moment, the three of them who had sharp ears vaguely heard a noise at the end of the street.

They looked at each other and Yan Kuan secretly transmitted his voice. "I will go and have a look."

There were no soldiers on the street for the time being. There were many officials and scholars who had sent their families to inquire.

After Yan Kuan left, Mengqi sighed. "It was our negligence. We were not vigilant enough about Gumgwang-Hole and did not protect King Chen well enough."

In fact, it couldn't be considered negligence. He was just expressing his annoyance.

As for the guru who shot the golden arrow in the palace, although Mengqi did not know who it was, he could basically determine who it was based on the news that Gumm Bo had returned from Gumgwang-Hole yesterday.

"King Chen is a guru and a monarch. He has many treasures and is far more powerful than us. He has always been the one protecting us. It is difficult for us to protect him." Qi Zhengyan comforted him. "The main problem lies in Gumgwang-Hole. According to the past records, the secret Taoist sect almost never interferes with such trivial matters that do not affect the foundation of the nobles. Who would have thought that they would directly send a powerful guru here and do it so ruthlessly!"

Normally, if Gumgwang-Hole wanted to interfere, they would send a messenger to warn King Chen. With their strength and influence, King Chen would definitely compromise. This was Mengqi's initial worry. However, they did not expect that Gumgwang-Hole did not follow the rules at all. It was as if they had a deep hatred and wanted to kill them all!

Mengqi nodded. "Gumgwang-Hole's actions are strange and abnormal. There must be a deeper meaning. I wonder what their intentions are …"

As he spoke, his expression became solemn. "No matter how powerful they are, one day they will give an 'explanation' to King Chen!"

"And the followers of the School of Mo who have been imprisoned. If we can't save them …" Qi Zhengyan's voice trailed off.

"Don't give up so easily. Let's see if there's a chance." Mengqi waved his hand. "But first, we have to avoid the city-wide search."

With the transformation ability of Eight Nine Mysteries, Mengqi was confident that he could easily survive ten more gurus in a city as populous and populated as Shangying, unless the city was directly destroyed or they had some strange treasures. What worried him was Qi Zhengyan, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others. Although they could also disguise and hide their breath, they could not. If Shangying was sealed and the soldiers searched every house, the possibility of being discovered was not low.

"Fortunately, there are many merchants in Shangying and many of them have powerful backgrounds. There is no way to seal the city for long …" Mengqi secretly sighed.

At this time, Yan Kuan returned to the kitchen with a slightly anxious look. "They are almost here!"

Directly here? Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan were shocked at first, but then relieved. Mengqi had used Fire Escape with injuries, so it was inevitable that he would leave some traces or breath.

Yan Kuan took a breath and added, "Moreover, the Minister of Public Works Gecko Zeng has ordered that everyone in the house must gather in one place and identify each other to prevent anyone from harboring them. If they are servants, the master must produce the corresponding documents. If they are family members, they must verify their household registration to prevent impersonation."

"This … is really strict and meticulous!" Mengqi realized that he had underestimated Gecko Zeng. This directly cut off their method of pretending to be servants and letting Yan Kuan cover up the search.

Seeing Yan Kuan's impatience, Mengqi laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. You can let them search without worry."

His confident and calm attitude eased Yan Kuan's anxiety. He calmed down and went out to gather his family and servants, waiting for the soldiers to come.

Qi Zhengyan knew the power of the Eight Nine Mysteries, so he was also calm.

After a while, a group of ferocious soldiers entered the house under the leadership of a general. Because Yan Kuan was an aristocrat, they were more amiable. They left some people in the hall to conduct identification and verification while they divided into several small teams to search the house.

On the tree opposite the hall, an ordinary little bird watched all of this quietly, paying special attention to the division of the search areas of the small teams.

When they separated, the bird spread its wings and flew straight into the kitchen, turning back into Mengqi.

"Come, let's move to that house." Mengqi secretly transmitted his voice. Before the soldiers came to search, he and Qi Zhengyan hid their breath and carefully avoided the detection of the Exterior in the air, sneaking into the selected house.

After half an hour, a small team searched the surrounding area. Just as they were about to approach the house, they suddenly saw the door open and a colleague who "knew" walked out. He sighed and said, "Not here."

"Hmm." They nodded and turned to search other places in their own area.

Meng Qi smiled and pretended to turn his head to talk to his team members, waiting for them to leave.

After a while, another small team came from another direction. Before they got close, they saw the door open and a familiar colleague shook his head and walked out.

Seeing that they were indeed searching for a colleague nearby, they did not have any doubts and changed their direction.

After half an hour, the house of the Yan family returned to peace. This made Yan Kuan speechless. How did Juzi and the others hide?

"With the slightly chaotic situation just now, even if the soldiers talked in private, it would be difficult to find out." Mengqi looked at Qi Zhengyan and said, "We've escaped for the first time. Next, we have to try to get out of the city."

"Get out of the city?" Qi Zhengyan was puzzled. "The formation has been activated to isolate the inside and outside of the city. How do we get out of the city?"

Mengqi took a light breath and said, "As long as' our 'traces appear outside the city, the search inside the city will naturally stop. Everyone will be safe and there will be a chance to rescue the followers of the School of Mo from the prison."

"The trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

"As for the big formation that isolates the inside and outside …" Mengqi snorted and said with a cold expression, "The experts of the Exterior who go out to search will come back, right?"

…

In the mansion of Minister of Justice Tian Heng, Zhao Heng was hiding in Tian Kuo's room. He was not worried about the search at all.

According to the plan, he had initially hidden with the help of a follower of the School of Mo in Tian Heng's mansion. After Tian Kuo returned home, he moved here.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Heng looked at Tian Kuo, afraid that he would be suspected.

Tian Kuo smiled and said, "I'm fine. They don't know that I'm related to the School of Mo. And my father, heh, I'm his only son! And he still doesn't know that I'm involved. "

"How could Minister of Justice Tian be involved without his permission?" Zhao Heng was puzzled. How could there be a leader who didn't know the participants of such a secret operation?

Tian Kuo frowned and said, "I didn't know about this at first. But after being reminded by a Daoist in the prison, I went home and secretly inquired about it. Only then did I find out that there was a conspiracy. So I used my identity to make other uncles think that it was my father's permission and successfully sneaked into the team."

He was the Junior Minister of Justice and was currently in charge of the prison.

"Daoist?" The more Zhao Heng listened, the more puzzled he became.

Tian Kuo curled her lips and said, "A naggy Daoist. He is very accurate in his fortune-telling and makes a living by it. A few days ago, he accidentally injured someone and was put in prison. I had nothing to do, so I asked him to tell my fortune."
