"How ruthless!"
After Hong Xuanji shattered the Divine Soul of the handsome young man from the Western Region with one punch, his eyes flickered, and the whole alley was suddenly filled with endless majesty. There were several cats and dogs in the alley, but when Hong Xuanji's eyes flickered, they suddenly felt something and immediately crouched on the ground, as if a great disaster was about to befall them.
Many thoughts with a sulfurous smell filled the entire alley. Hong Xuanji could vaguely hear strong curses.
Those were the thoughts that had exploded and were seriously injured, and they were violently condensing and forming again.
"Humph."
Hong Xuanji snorted coldly. As the sound wave spread, he clenched his fist and placed it flat in front of him. After spreading his five fingers, he instantly closed them again, as if a wheel of dharma was spinning.
The movement of his five fingers became faster and faster, almost like a shooting star. No one could catch the movement of his fingers.
Faintly, lines of cracks appeared as his fingers slid across the surface.
Then he shook one hand, and a violent gust of wind was emitted from his hand. The air in the entire alley seemed to be like the bottom of the sea with turbulent undercurrents. It shook violently, and the walls of the alley on all sides made cracking sounds.
After the endless majesty of the wind shook for a while, the whole alley became extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened at all.
After the Divine Soul of the handsome young man from the Western Region exploded, the sulfurous and scorching aura that was produced had all disappeared.
The warm sun still shone down from the sky. The streets of Yujing City outside were still crowded with people and carriages. The spring sunshine was beautiful, and there was a strong vitality.
After Hong Xuanji withdrew his strength, he stood in the alley for a long time.
"Marquis."
All of a sudden, a eunuch appeared outside the alley.
This eunuch was dressed in a green robe, and his back was very low. He did not bring anyone with him. As soon as he came out of the alley, he let out a croaky voice.
"Hmm? Wang Tao! … Who allowed you to leave the imperial city! There are laws for eunuchs to leave the imperial city! The imperial examination is just around the corner and the entire city is filled with scholars. If a eunuch like you were to be seen leaving the palace, it would inevitably cause criticism. "
With a single glance, Hong Xuanji knew that this was the Great Eunuch by the Big Dry Emperor's side, the Great Eunuch of the Six Palaces, and even the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Treasury. Wang Tao was definitely the number one eunuch in the Imperial City.
Furthermore, this eunuch was also someone with unfathomable martial arts. Compared to Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Yin Lianhua, he was even stronger.
This eunuch Wang Tao came from a large aristocratic family, the Wang family. He was originally a disciple of that family, but because he was a bastard son, he had been pushed aside by his family and framed. In a fit of rage, he had entered the palace to become a eunuch, gaining the Heaven Emperor's trust.
Hong Xuanji disliked this eunuch very much.
"Yes, Old Slave. This is His Majesty's order. Ask Marquis what happened when he suddenly left the palace just now." Eunuch Wang Tao glanced at Hong Xuanji, then lowered his head deeply.
Although he was the Great Eunuch of the Six Palaces and had control over tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in the inner palace, and even the Imperial Noble Consort had to curry favor with him, in front of Hong Xuanji, Great Eunuch Wang Tao was still cautious.
After all, in the Da Qian court, Hong Xuanji, as the head of the cabinet ministers and the leader of the ministers, had the right to reprimand eunuchs. The Da Qian strictly forbade eunuchs from interfering in politics and from leaving the capital. The laws were extremely strict.
More importantly, Hong Xuanji's strength had reached a boundless level.
"I will naturally report this matter to His Majesty. You can go back first," Hong Xuanji said coldly.
"I will listen to Marquis's orders." Great Eunuch Wang Tao bowed and quietly left the alley. After entering the Imperial City, the Great Eunuch finally lifted his body, a look of shock on his face. "Human Immortal … Human Immortal … is indeed powerful! The aura hovering in the sky just now, in the heat, there was a faint smell of sulfur. I'm afraid it was the High Priest of the Primordial Spirit Temple's Nether God Hall, Daofu! This High Priest had gone through the Thunder Tribulation and reincarnated 20 years ago. His body was perfect and his magic was even more powerful, but he was killed with one punch. I couldn't even see Hong Xuanji's movements clearly. However, the Daoist techniques of the Primordial Spirit Temple are extremely powerful. Even if one's soul is destroyed, one's body will not die, and one's blood essence and vitality can be exchanged. This might be a clone of Saint Daofu, but he was killed in one blow, and his strength will be reduced by at least 50% … Rumor has it that all the High Priests of the Primordial Spirit Temple have the "Blood of the Evil God". If I can get the Blood of the Evil God and improve my body, there will be hope for me to become a Human Immortal … But I can't find Saint Daofu's real body. If I can find him and kill him together, it will be the best of both worlds. Now … now I need a helper … Oh right, Consort Yuan is unfathomable. She fought against the Empress a few days ago and won beautifully. Others might not know what happened in the Primordial Spirit Palace that day, but I know it very well … I can find Consort Consort Yuan to find the real body of High Priest Daofu and kill him. I can also sell it to Consort Yuan. "
Chief Eunuch Wang Tao's eyes darted around, and then he said to a young eunuch beside him, "Go and bring out a set of white jade Qilin and Phoenix, 15 kilograms of Heavenly Fragrant Oil, and five Nine Transformation Great Golden Pills that Fang Xiandao gave me. Tell them that it's a small gift from me to Consort Yuan. Later, I will personally pay my respects to Consort Yuan."
"Yes."
The group of eunuchs knelt down and hurried away.
In the imperial palace, this Chief Eunuch of the Six Palaces had great influence.
"Damn it! A Human Immortal! Hong Xuanji has become a Human Immortal! He destroyed half of my Divine Soul! It wasn't easy for me to cultivate my Divine Soul and cultivate it to the eighth realm of the Dark God Art. I can turn my thoughts into the legendary scorching sulfuric aura of the Dark God of Hell. I'm only one step away from great success! But it was destroyed by Hong Xuanji! "
At this moment, in a manor in the Rong Province, four to five hundred kilometers west of the Jade Capital City, the Great Priest of the Essence Divine Temple, Saint Daofu, whose soul had just been shattered by Hong Xuanji's punch, was dressed in silk clothes. He was dressed like many of the barbarians in the Great Qian Dynasty.
To the south of Yujing City was the Central Province, to the north was the Snow Province, to the east was the Yan Province, and to the west was the Rongzhou, to the Qing Province, and to the Qing Province, to the Chi Province.
A few thousand kilometers away from the Crimson Province was the rather desolate Sand Continent. After passing the vast Sand Continent for a few thousand kilometers, there were countless Great Qian soldiers stationed at the border, resisting the invasion of the Fire Luo Nation.
This long route was also a road of silk, porcelain, tea, salt, and iron.
The Da Qian transported many silk, porcelain, tea, salt, and iron to the Western Regions for sale, while the merchants of the Western Regions transported precious stones, jade, spices, furs, horses, all kinds of rare herbs, and even women and slaves to the Da Qian for sale.
Many officials and nobles in Da Qian kept beautiful brown-haired, blonde-haired, and blue-eyed Hu Ji as slaves to show off.
The Charcoal Horse in the Western Regions was a famous horse that many officials and nobles liked. It was hard to buy even with a thousand pieces of gold.
Thus, on this long route, many Hu merchants had bought manors in many states, provinces, prefectures, and counties. In particular, the Champion Marquis had once crossed the eastern plains and reached the Western Regions, increasing the number of merchant caravans coming and going.
At this time, the High Priest of the Essence Temple's Nether God Hall, Saint Daofu, was in a Hu merchant's manor in the Rongzhou.
This Hu merchant's manor was under the protection of the Heavenly Secrets Trading Company. Every year, it would pay the enormous Heavenly Secrets Trading Company countless amounts of grain, furs, and gold as protection fees.
Thus, even the local authorities would find it difficult to trace it to him.
The Heavenly Secrets Trading Company was the property of the Champion Marquis. Who would dare investigate?
Saint Daofu was hiding in the Hu merchant group under the protection of the Heavenly Secrets Trading Company, enjoying everything while his soul left his body to pursue the Golden Spider King.
A furnace of incense burned as Saint Daofu sat on a pure white carpet made of alpaca hair. As one of the four High Priests of the Essence Temple, he had been dismembered twenty years ago and had chosen an extremely healthy fetus, which was why he now looked exceptionally handsome.
In front of him, there were three crystals. Within the crystals, there were droplets of demonic, bright red blood.
If Hong Yi had been here, he would have realized that sealed within these three crystals was the supreme spirit medicine, the Blood of the Evil God, second only to the Heavenly Origin Spirit Pill!
Only the High Priest of the Essence Temple, an existence second only to the Supreme Pontiff, would possess the Blood of the Evil God.
And in the center of these three drops of Blood of the Evil God was a book.
This book only had a few pages, but it was extremely thick, as if each page had been forged from metal. It gave off the feeling of an alchemy book made of iron. This was an extremely ancient book.
On the cover of the book was a lifelike figure in a pitch-black robe. He stood in the air, and beneath him were endless flames and magma.
Within the flames and magma, one could vaguely see countless souls being tormented.
Looking at this lifelike scene, no matter who it was, they would feel a wave of sulfur, flames, despair, and terrifying torment that came from hell.
This aura could only be described with one word.
That was "death".
"Fortunately, I brought this Infernal Deity Soul Refinement Record with me. With this one in my hands, the other three halls, and the original copy in the Supreme Pontiff's possession, we can form the Essence Blood and Energy Collection. Otherwise, I would have wasted another priceless drop of the Blood of the Evil God. Each of us High Priests can only control five drops of the Blood of the Evil God, and the Supreme Pontiff can only control twenty-four. I only have three drops left in the long journey of cultivation, so I can't waste any more."
Saint Daofu's face was extremely pale as he pointed at the bronze book.
Whoosh!
The 'Infernal Deity' in the book seemed to come to life, and a strong aura of sulfur, fire, and hellish death emanated from it.
A weak thought emerged from Saint Daofu's body. Clearly, his soul had suffered too much damage, and it was much weaker than Arachnida Gigantea's. It couldn't even compare to a ghost immortal.
But as soon as these thoughts came into contact with the aura of the 'Infernal Deity', they immediately grew stronger.
Although they weren't as strong as before, they had barely recovered half of their original strength.
Yujing City.
East of the palace.
The Crown Prince sat in the main hall, frowning slightly. Below him was the Head Eunuch, Yin Lianhua.
"Crown Prince, who was it just now? How dare he? He actually hovered above the entire Yujing City for a full hour? How could he be so brazen? " Yin Lianhua said, "But he's really strong. There's a blazing aura in his thoughts. I'm afraid he's a peerless Perfected One. Could it be the mysterious expert that appeared at Prince Yu's residence that day?"
"No, even the mysterious expert that appeared at Prince Yu's residence wouldn't have the guts to hover above the entire Yujing City for a full hour. This person should be cultivating the Essence Yuan Temple's Infernal Deity Hall Technique. There's the aura of sulfur and fire in his thoughts. He should be the High Priest of the Essence Yuan Temple's Infernal Deity Hall, Saint Daofu." Nine halos flickered behind Crown Prince Yang Yuan's head.
"Hong Xuanji just left the palace," Yin Lianhua said.
"Oh? Then the High Priest's spirit should have been destroyed. But the Essence Yuan Temple's daoist techniques are profound, so the High Priest is probably still alive. His physical body might very well be in the prefecture government outside the Yujing City. Investigate immediately. Find out everything before nightfall. Report to me anything suspicious. This Daofu has many valuable things on him. I'm going to take his life while he's down. "
Outside the Yujing City, in an academy library.
An old man with white eyebrows, hair, and beard. Although this old man was old, he was full of vigor. He held a standard scholar-official sword in his hand and brandished it. Although his movements were slow, each and every move he made was continuous. There seemed to be an invisible ball hanging on the tip of the sword.
This person was the grandmaster of the literary world, Xie Wenyuan. It could be seen that this great scholar was very knowledgeable, but he had not abandoned the scholar-official's way of strengthening his body. His martial arts had also reached a very high level.
"Hmm? There's demonic aura from the Western Region. Go and invite the old patriarchs of the aristocratic families here. Plan to let their disciples gain some experience. "
"Yes."
A Confucian scholar beside him bowed.
"Summon the chief and deputy chief of the Righteous One Sect …"
On the other side of the Yujing City, Righteous One Sect Master Ji Changyue said to Zhang Boheng, the chief of the Daoist altar.
"Who is that? How can he be so bold? He actually used his thoughts to hover above the Yujing City for a full hour. Is he courting death? I was very careful every time. My thoughts would burrow into the ground and disappear in a flash. I would never hover for more than an hour. Consort Yuan should have sensed it, right? I'll sneak into the palace and ask what's going on. Hong Xuanji should be able to sense it. "At that moment, Hong Yi and Chan Yinsha were both looking at the sky in the Green Willow Heights.
