Chapter 964

The night before dawn was the darkest. It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The wind was still chilly, and the people who were busy on the street at this time were often poor people. Some were night watchmen, and some were driving donkey carts to collect night incense from door to door.

The disgusting smell drifted from the back of the cart, but Old Jiang was used to it. He drank some cheap wine to drive away the chill, sang the opera in a low voice, and steered the old donkey steadily.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a figure flashing by. He could not help but shiver, thinking that he had met a ghost.

He looked at it with fear and found a piece of yellow paper on the wall at the corner of the street.

"Did you pass by before …" Old Jiang's heart thumped. As the donkey cart slowly approached, he saw strange patterns drawn on the yellow paper, marked with the kind of words that could be seen all over the street.

"Evil Ghost Summoning Soul?" Old Jiang thought of the yellow paper talisman in the Taoist temple and was scared out of his wits. He drove the old donkey away quickly!

Not long after his figure disappeared, a night arrester dressed in the uniform of Six Fan School came and also found the yellow paper.

"The entrance map of the Ninth Heaven ruins …" The arrester murmured the first words, as if he was still dreaming!

The whole city was covered with the yellow paper map, and undercurrents were brewing before dawn!

…

"Blood Teeth Arrester" Yuan Lihuo saw the yellow paper and the entrance map of the Ninth Heaven when he received the news.

"You can wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, but by chance you get it by chance …" Yuan Lihuo muttered without joy. "It's really as Su Meng said. The trap is deep, and the mastermind is scheming something big!"

"Now, the whole Luoyang is going to be boiling!"

He was reminded by Mengqi during the day and planned to wait and see while contacting helpers. But such a big change happened just after he went to the Immortals and left a message.

Yuan Lihuo seemed to be able to imagine what the officials in the court would do next, and also seemed to see his plan and preparation aborted before it even started!

"I wonder how Su Meng is doing …" He stroked the yellow paper.

…

Sun Yuexiu looked at the other two rooms of the guest yard with mixed feelings, and then turned around and left the yard with Senior Sister Ren Jingxiu.

Ren Jingxiu's face was calm, and her eyes were filled with a little emotion. Her fierceness became more and more restrained, as if she was a little shocked by the previous battle.

She seemed to have only seen that kind of swordsmanship from the Grand Master level elders in the sect. She was still far from it. One must know that her sect was a sword faction!

'In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid only the top figures of the major sword sects can defeat him …' Ren Jingxiu thought to herself as she recalled the details of the battle.

Now that such a powerhouse had intervened and alerted the imperial court of Dajin, she knew that she had no more chances, so she decided to leave Luoyang with her junior sister.

"Hey, Senior Sister, what are they looking at?" Sun Yuexiu's gaze wandered and found a group of idlers surrounding the entrance of the alley.

Ren Jingxiu looked into the distance and her gaze suddenly froze. She seemed to have lost her voice and muttered to herself,

"The entrance map of the Nine Heavens remains …"

"What?" Sun Yuexiu was startled.

"It seems to be real …" Ren Jingxiu combined the ancient books left by her sect and the rumors about the Xuan Tian Sect obtaining the Time Blade. From the clues, she could tell that at least part of the entrance map was real!

Sun Yuexiu took a deep breath and regained her composure, "This is strange. I'm afraid it's mostly a trap."

"Well, you and I are powerful enough to roam Jianghu and not afraid of most dangers. But it's better not to get involved in such a strange thing. Let's send a message to the sect first and ask the sect leader to make a decision," Ren Jingxiu said solemnly.

The two girls took a deep look at the yellow paper and memorized the pictures and words on it. Then, they quickly left to send a message to the Biyue Sword Sect.

…

In the Political Affairs Hall, the emperor was bowing and the officials were discussing politics.

The current Marquis of Pingjin, Cui Qinghe, the master of the Cui family was also present!

After knowing that the entrance map of the Nine Heavens was everywhere in the city, the top aristocratic families, including the Zhao family of Luoyang, had quickly exchanged opinions and reached an agreement. Now, they were just here to go through the motions.

Cui Qinghe took the responsibility and said with a stern face, "The entrance map of the Nine Heavens is real, but it's also true that the mastermind has ulterior motives!"

If they could not confirm that the half of the entrance map in Bai Ning's hand was real, why would they plot against each other?

Political Affairs Wang Wenxian said, "This is in Luoyang and we are guests from afar. How can we just ignore it?"

Cui Qinghe nodded and said, "Since it happened in Luoyang, how can we just ignore it? I suggest that we fully activate the Grand Formation of Luoyang. The Nine-dragon Seal will suppress it and isolate it from the outside. Then, we can temporarily seal the city so that the news of the entrance map will not spread. "

In this way, apart from the masters who were already hiding in Luoyang, they could minimize the number of competitors, such as Dharmakaya masters who rushed here after hearing the news.

"Secondly, we can't let down our guard in all the important places in Luoyang. We have to strictly guard against the mastermind or the heterodox demons who take advantage of the situation."

"Lastly, I will take the lead. The gurus in Luoyang and the Super Arresters of Six Fan School will follow us to explore the entrance of the Nine Heavens carefully. Those who are below the guru level should not take the risk."

Zhao Jingshi stood beside the Emperor and took a deep look at Sima Shi. He took the initiative and said, "I am in charge of the Nine-dragon Seal to suppress Luoyang. Why don't the chief of detectives hold the Emperor's Sword and follow Marquis Pingjin?"

The Emperor's Sword currently belonged to the royal family, but it was actually guarded by the Political Affairs Hall in turn. At this time, a Half-step Dharmakaya master would definitely be better than a guru in using the Emperor's Sword. Sima Shi, as a political affairs advisor, was the best candidate to use the Emperor's Sword other than Zhao Jingshi.

Cui Qinghe was a Dharmakaya master. If he also held the Heavenly Weapon, the Emperor's Sword, the other families would not feel at ease. Therefore, after hearing Zhao Jingshi's proposal, they all nodded and expressed their agreement.

Luoyang was the base camp of the Zhao family. Among all the families, the Zhao family undoubtedly did not want Luoyang to be in trouble. Therefore, it was reasonable for Zhao Jingshi to stay with the Nine-dragon Seal.

The situation was urgent and there was no room for more deliberation. Cui Qinghe thought for a while and agreed to Zhao Jingshi's proposal.

After a few breaths, the wind and clouds gathered in the sky above Luoyang. The golden light rippled and the breath of all living beings converged into dragons of humanity!

Seeing this, Ren Jingxiu and Sun Yuexiu, who had not had time to spread the news, smiled bitterly.

Yuan Lihuo sighed and understood that the "reinforcement" would not come …

…

Inside the palace of the Shard of the Celestial Court.

Han Guang had returned to his natural state. He did not look as embarrassed as before. He spread his spirit and asked casually, "Have they all left?"

Gao Lan was still sitting on the throne of the Celestial Ruler with a cold expression, "Those who should have left have left. Those who should have entered the upper heavens have also entered. Are you really willing to give up this place?"

Han Guang put his hands behind his back and smiled, "The detailed location has already been known by outsiders. What else is there to be nostalgic about? I am willing to give up, I am willing to give up. The fatal loophole has been seized by others. Will I turn a blind eye to it and hope that they will show mercy and not leak this information in the future? I just need to buy some time to move the important things. "

Gao Lan was like a king of the world. He glanced at Han Guang and said, "After being a monk for a few years, your words have become more and more reasonable."

"The Buddhist scriptures also contain a good truth. I have a deep understanding of it. But I need to extract the essence and get rid of the dregs." Han Guang walked to the edge of the hall and looked up at the dense clouds in the sky. His eyes were deep and his mouth was curved into a faint smile, "They are almost there."

"They came prepared. They should be able to open it in one fell swoop," Gao Lan patted the armrest and slowly stood up. He was tall and had a momentum that could fill the heaven and earth.

Han Guang looked at him with his hands behind his back as if he was thinking about the secrets between heaven and earth and life and death. He said playfully, "I have been here for many years and have searched the lower levels several times. I did not expect to miss a place that hides the secret of the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven. The little girl from the Luo Denomination seems to know this place better than I do."

"The Luo Denomination's saintesses have said that she is the reincarnation of the Ajati Matriarch. With the foundation of the ancient mighty people, it is not surprising that she knows something." Gao Lan walked towards Han Guang with a majestic gait.

Han Guang snorted, "Although the Ajati Matriarch is an ancient mighty person, her origin is mysterious. She suddenly appeared in the last years of the ancient times and mixed Buddhism and Taoism. She lived until the early medieval times and no one knows her original origin."

…

With the green light supporting their feet, Mengqi and Gu Xiaosang quickly ascended, passing through layers and layers of solid clouds and the void that looked like a crystal wall.

Broken clouds, fragmented oceans, toppled celestial mountains, broken celestial rivers, broken palaces and cave residences, one by one, passed through Mengqi's vision. But when he wanted to take a closer look, they quickly disappeared like layers of illusions.

After an unknown amount of time, Mengqi's feet touched the ground and he was already standing on the white clouds. The surrounding mist was misty and the Vital Qi between heaven and earth was endless. The Dharma and Logos that could not be directly touched were now clearly visible. The fire element turned into flames, the running water turned into a pond, and so on.

"The lower levels are the cave residences of the immortals, the residences of the various departments, and the Celestial Sovereign's palace. They have long been ransacked. Our target is the top three levels." Gu Xiaosang seemed to have forgotten that Mengqi was still holding her hand. She smiled faintly, showing a different kind of elegance.

"The demoness's style is really changeable …" Mengqi let go of her hand and looked around. He saw a whirlpool in the distance, sealed by purple thunderbolts. The crackling sound was heard and each thunderbolt seemed to contain a world of its own!

"My husband, show the thunderbolt mark and use the Divine Nine-Annihilation to strike." Gu Xiaosang took a step back and stood gracefully. Her white dress fluttered even though there was no wind, as if it was surrounding her.

Mengqi took a deep breath. He did not retract the purple thunderbolt mark on the back of his hand. He slightly tilted the long saber in his right hand and suddenly struck out. The saber was slanted upwards and trembled continuously.

Each tremble had the evolution of Yin and Yang, forming a thunderbolt of extreme yang and condensing at the tip of the saber.

"Bang!"

The long saber struck the purple door and the condensed thunderbolt exploded. The air was filled with the aura of extreme yang. Mengqi's Vital Spirit was shaken and his soul fell into an inexplicable illusion. He saw the purple thunderbolt in front of him grow and transform into a bronze-skinned giant. His body was covered with ancient thunderbolt marks and he held a long spear in his hand.

Seeing this, Mengqi did not dare to delay. The saber in his hand suddenly disappeared and silently appeared behind the giant. Yin thunderbolts lingered and eroded his soul and bones.

"Boom!"

The spear that the giant was about to swing suddenly stopped and did not resist. Instead, it divided part of the thunderbolt into the Yin thunderbolt and dissipated a lot of it.

Mengqi was shocked. He raised his long saber and struck with the Five Thunder Bombardment of Sky!

"Boom!"

The heavenly punishment fell one after another and the giant disappeared.

At this moment, a boundary stone flew into the dark purple door. Mengqi smelled an orchid-like fragrance and heard Gu Xiaosang's voice.

"Go in quickly in case there is an ambush nearby!"

Mengqi raised his guard and took a step forward. It was as if he had passed through layers of void and worlds to reach the end of heaven and earth.

Light shone in front of him and Mengqi saw ancient peach trees. Their branches and leaves were withered and their bark was the color of blood. The soil on the ground looked as if it had been soaked in blood and the strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

"Peach Garden …" Gu Xiaosang's whispered voice floated in the air.
