Noticing that only Chen Luoyang had returned and that the Grand Master Yan Mingkong was nowhere to be seen, the faces of the elders couldn't help but change.
They looked at each other, feeling uncertain.
Even the young Devil religion experts had many guesses when they saw this.
Chen Luoyang secretly observed the behavior of these people, and he had a better idea in his heart.
Not only did Yan Mingkong not return, he didn't even send a message back.
It was as if he had completely disappeared.
Although it wasn't clear whether he was swept away by the blood light or was affected by it and had to find a hidden place to recuperate.
But on the side of the Devil religion, this Rosefinch Hall First Seat was missing.
His own people were so uncertain, it was obvious that they suspected Yan Mingkong was dead.
Also, everyone suspected that it was him, Hierarch Chen, who killed him.
After the Grand Master and Li Yuanlong were both injured, the Hierarch took advantage of them.
Seeing this, Chen Luoyang was thinking in his heart, but on the surface, he was calm and at ease, turning a blind eye to everyone who was full of questions.
His secretive look made everyone even more suspicious.
Some of the elders wanted to open their mouths to ask, but facing the Hierarch's dark eyes, they didn't dare to open their mouths.
In the end, it was Third Elder Wang Mofeng who asked, "I heard from the Blade Emperor that Emperor Xia Li Yuanlong has broken through to the fourteenth realm. His strength is not ordinary. This time, it is all thanks to the Hierarch personally coming to Yu Zhou that Li Yuanlong didn't escape."
"Since I've personally come to Yu Province, he naturally has no other choice but to end up like this," Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
He still didn't mention Yan Mingkong.
When the elders heard this, their hearts sank even more.
After everyone bowed and excused themselves, they exchanged glances with one another, their expressions extremely grave.
The Third Elder, Wang Mofeng, and the Fourth Elder, Chai Han, exchanged a look and waved their hands, letting the others go down first.
"Contact the Grand Master as soon as possible." Now that the two of them were alone, Chai Han's expression was as dark as still water. "The current situation is really …"
Wang Mofeng sighed. "The second batch of people has already been sent out."
After a moment of silence, Chai Han asked, "What do you think …"
At this point, his voice stopped, and his eyes were filled with worry.
Wang Mofeng clearly knew what he was thinking. He softly said, "Don't be too pessimistic. Look at Saber Emperor Yu Wen Feng's reaction. The Hierarch doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move. He is also pursuing his best condition to face the Saber Emperor. So, he won't easily complicate the issue. The Grand Master will also be on guard."
Chai Han looked up at the sky and sighed. "Let's get in touch with the Grand Master as soon as possible."
"That's right." Wang Mofeng sighed.
Chai Han thought for a moment and said, "Let's also inform Big Brother Xie and Second Brother Yan about the situation."
Wang Mofeng said, "If the second batch of people still can't find the Grand Master, then let them know about the situation as soon as possible."
The two elders looked at each other in dismay. Their hearts were heavy.
At present, the Hierarch's prestige was constantly rising, as if there was no end to it.
Not to mention that they had all gone their separate ways, even the Grand Master had disappeared.
These days were really unbearable …
The Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage landed.
Chen Luoyang wasn't sure how his subordinates did things when he was dealing with Ban Hongqing and Li Yuanlong.
But now, in the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty, the main hall, which was equivalent to the main hall, had completely disappeared. It was as if someone had erased it from the ground.
After the Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage landed, it replaced the position of the main hall and became the center of the imperial palace, and even the whole of Luoyang.
"Reporting to the Hierarch, most of the diehards in the city have been purged. The remaining people are willing to submit to the Church." Jingang answered, "Compared to the warriors, the common people are afraid of the Church because they have been deeply poisoned by the Xia Dynasty. However, no one dares to cause trouble. They are all like frightened quails."
As the core area controlled by the Xia Dynasty, the reputation of the Devil religion of the Southern Wasteland and the foreign tribes of the Northern Desert was naturally not good.
Under the false rumors, it was considered polite to say that they were evil demons and murderers who did all kinds of evil.
Among the common people, there was no lack of absurd rumors that the foreign tribes of the Northern Desert were all monsters with green faces and fangs.
On the other hand, the Southern Wasteland Demon Realm was full of evil and vicious demons.
This was within Chen Luoyang's expectations, so he wasn't surprised.
There was no need to take such views seriously. As long as the Devil religion could take root here and continue to operate, the world would naturally know the absurdity of the previous rumors.
From the point of view of the governed, the Demon Territory was certainly not an ideal land full of gold, but it was far from the point of people having no way to live.
The Central Plains and the Southern Wasteland were probably not easy to compare who squeezed the common people more ruthlessly, and who cared more about the people's power, and who paid less taxes.
Of course, in their respective propaganda, it was certain that they would vilify each other.
"Don't worry about it. Leave it to Su Wei to handle. Everything will be done according to the old rules of the Sanctuary." Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "Time will tell them that I am a more suitable master."
Jin Gang chuckled and said, "Sect Master's aura engulfs the world. Everything on the Divine Boat in the vast land will naturally belong to you. The foolish people in this city were almost blasted into the sky by Li Yuanlong. If it wasn't for your kindness, they would have all gone down to follow Li Yuanlong.
"This city is not bad. It is worthy of my attention." Chen Luoyang said casually, "After taking control of the city, don't be in a hurry to expand outwards. Wait for the people from Lu State to come over."
Jin Gang replied respectfully, "Yes, I will obey Cult Master's order."
He then said, "Hierarch, some people in this city want to see you. What do you think?"
Chen Luoyang turned his gaze and looked at Jingang.
"Hierarch, I promise there will be no assassins." Jingang said hurriedly, "We have all confirmed several times that they are sincere people. However, one of them is a relative of the royal family of the Xia dynasty."
Chen Luoyang put his hand on the table at the side and gently tapped the table with his index finger.
"Bring them up."
Jingang heard and hurriedly went to bring them up.
After a while, a few people walked into the hall together.
Looking at the strange hall in front of them, their expressions were as usual.
It was hard to say what exactly they were thinking, but these people were obviously prepared. They were calm and did not show their emotions. They respectfully bowed to Chen Luoyang on the seat.
"Li Yuanlin greets Hierarch Chen. Long live Hierarch Chen."
"Situ Qi greets Hierarch Chen. Long live Hierarch Chen."
"Yang Lian greets Hierarch Chen. Long live Hierarch Chen."
"Zhang Mingmo greets Hierarch Chen. Long live Hierarch Chen."
Chen Luoyang held his seat high and looked at the four people below.
Some of the names were more familiar.
These days, he had been studying the many ancient books and letters in the Blue Dragon Hall. Now that he thought about it, he had seen some of the names.
It did not matter if he did not have any impression of the others.
Before Jingang brought them in, he had already prepared a list. Chen Luoyang saw it clearly.
Li Yuanlin, the Xia royal family, King of Han. He was an expert of the same generation as Li Yuanlong in the Xia dynasty royal family. However, he did not care much and had always been a peaceful prince.
But his cultivation was not low. He was a rare 12th realm King Wu expert in the Xia dynasty royal family.
It was often rumored that he was the second most powerful person in the Xia dynasty royal family, second only to Li Yuanlong.
It was no wonder that he was fond of mountains and rivers. Otherwise, he would inevitably arouse suspicion from Li Yuanlong.
But after Li Yuanlong broke through to the 14th realm, this problem should no longer exist.
Of course, there was no need to discuss this problem now.
And after Li Yuanlong fell, this King of Han did not seem to need to continue hiding.
But to him, it was still important where he went next.
If he had too many ideas, the Devil religion would not be able to tolerate him.
Situ Qi was the chief constable of the entire Six Doors Gate of Grand Xia. He was in charge of the investigation of all the major and minor powers in the world. Under him, there were many Gold-Badge Head Constables, Silver-Badge Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Prefecture Head Constables, Constables and Bailiffs.
Of course, he also had to deal with the lower and middle level members of the Devil religion or the Variant Humans.
It was unavoidable for both sides to die and be injured.
The other Yang Lian was a middle-aged eunuch with a pale face.
Together with Gao Zhen, who had previously gone to the Demon Domain to carry out a spy and instigate a rebellion, as well as the other chief eunuch, Chu Mu, they were known as the three heads of the Xia Dynasty's inner palace.
Gao Zhen had exposed his tracks in the Demon Region and was chased by the experts of the Devil religion. They had already successfully captured him.
This Yang Lian had now come to surrender.
As for Chu Mu, it seemed that before Chen Luoyang broke through the city, he had already left.
Or maybe Li Yuanlong had already made arrangements and asked Chu Mu to prepare another path of retreat for him.
Unfortunately, it was not used.
Li Yuanlin, Situ Qi, and Yang Lian were all at the same level of cultivation as King Wu.
Among the four of them, only Zhang Mingmo remained. His cultivation was only at the Martial Ancestor Realm.
However, his identity was worth pondering.
A relative of the Emperor.
More accurately, it would be more appropriate to call him the Imperial Uncle.
His younger sister entered the palace as a concubine, and the Zhang Clan rose once again.
There were no experts like King Wu in the clan. According to the Blue Dragon Hall's rules, this clan was considered a 'B' grade power.
However, the Zhang Clan had quite a status in the original Yujing City.
It was not only because of his status as a relative of the Emperor, but also because of his status. Zhang Mingmo was very resourceful and quick-witted, becoming a famous tycoon in the Xia Dynasty.
Behind him, there was more or less Li Yuanlong's shadow. The Zhang Clan was a royal merchant.
Zhang Mingmo helped Li Yuanlong collect and purchase many rare treasures.
Chen Luoyang looked at the four of them with interest.
"Speak." His voice rang out.
The four of them glanced at each other.
Chen Luoyang did not meet them individually. Instead, he gathered the four of them together.
However, the four of them had already made a decision. No one laughed at each other, so there was no awkwardness in their expressions.
In the end, the three of them made a gesture of courtesy to the Han King, Li Yuanlin, who had the highest cultivation.
Li Yuanlin smiled at Situ Qi and the other two in a friendly manner. After that, he turned to Chen Luoyang and bowed again.
"Reporting to Hierarch Chen, I have been searching for the Ancient God for a long time. I hope to join the Ancient God and serve the Ancient God. I will serve the Ancient God and sacrifice my life for the Hierarch."
As he spoke, he kowtowed to Chen Luoyang.
