Xiao Hua didn't dare to delay, and neither did Qi Zheng, the Palace Master of the Internal Affairs Palace. He was sitting on a flying boat that seemed to be less than a hundred thousand zhang in size. He leisurely picked up a book that looked like a jade tablet and read it. Suddenly, he saw a faint red halo flashing on the jade table next to him. He frowned and blew a breath of air.
"Whoosh." A multi-edged immortal artifact appeared in the halo. Qi Zheng glanced at an irregular curved surface and smiled. "Looks like Gao Lingsong is going to show off again. That guy's talent is dull, but he's meticulous and has some luck. A few days ago, he went to the Celestial Master Residence to ask for the Celestial Master Lock and the Celestial Master Needle. He must have some confidence."
In front of Qi Zheng's desk stood several Immortals in official robes. They were standing quietly with their breaths closed. When they heard Qi Zheng's words, they glanced at the immortal artifacts on the jade table. A square-faced Immortal standing in front of them said, "I don't think so. After all, according to common sense, if he had succeeded, he would have returned the Celestial Master Lock and the Celestial Master Needle. How could he have let them fly back? Also, according to the news from the Celestial Master Residence, the Celestial Master Lock is damaged. "
"The problem is that the Celestial Master Needle has been activated!" A slender Immortal official opposite him shook his head. "That's a lethal weapon of the Celestial Master Residence. Even the Lord of the Celestial Master Residence can't deal with it, right?"
"Yes." Qi Zheng smiled. "It's because the Celestial Master Needle has been activated that I'm not in a hurry. I asked Qi Yun to go take a look."
As he spoke, Qi Zheng raised his right hand and flicked his middle finger. With a soft clang, the faint red halo on the curved surface spun rapidly. Finally, it condensed into the shape of a mouth and said, "My Lord, something big has happened."
"Oh?" Qi Zheng was stunned. He glanced at the Immortal official under the jade table and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Gao Lingsong has disappeared. The Blessed and Blessed grotto-heaven has been swept clean!"
"Gao Lingsong ran away?" Before Qi Zheng could say anything, the Immortal in front of him whispered, "My Lord, that guy ran away in fear of punishment!"
"Not necessarily." The slender Immortal official immediately denied. "He could have been killed!"
"Qi Yun," Qi Zheng said, "Tell me the details."
"I have received a message from my lord." Qi Yun's voice was a little erratic and occasionally stretched out. He said, "Immediately head to the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven. Gao Lingsong has already left the Color Realm and headed to the lower realm. I did a little investigation and didn't find anything strange. However, when I was about to leave, Gao Lingsong's disciple, Cheng Xu, said something that scared me. When I broke the restrictions of the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven, I found that it was empty …"
Qi Yun then recounted how he brought Cheng Xu back to the grotto-heaven and interrogated him. Finally, he said, "My Lord, what Cheng Xu said is extremely important. I cannot transmit the message. Please return immediately!"
"What's so important?" Qi Zheng was displeased and asked, "Don't you know that this old man has received orders from the Celestial Venerable to go on a business trip?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency." Qi Yun smiled and said, "This matter is much more important than Lord Empyrean's official business!"
"Yes." Qi Zheng pondered for a while and said to the immortal, "Fang Yi, you're the most familiar with this trip. Go on my behalf!"
The immortal with a square face hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Excellency!"
Qi Zheng took out a token and passed it to Fang Yi. He said to the immortal with a long and narrow face, "Chang Zhan, send the order back to the Celestial Venerable Residence!"
Chang Zhan gave the order. Qi Zheng looked up at the silhouettes of the sealed palaces around him. He waved his sleeves and the palaces turned into light shadows and dissipated, revealing balls of flames that looked like the heads of beasts. The flames floated around leisurely and occasionally, some of them rushed towards the celestial boat.
Qi Zheng's gaze landed on the flames and he was a little confused. "This trip to the Han Chong Miao Cheng Heaven is to investigate the matter of a large number of immortals' Immortal Marks shattering there. This was personally ordered by Lord Empyrean and Qi Yun knew about it too. He actually said that Gao Lingsong's words are more important than Lord Empyrean's order? Then … what is it? "
The celestial boat turned around in the flames and turned into tens of thousands of fiery threads that rushed into the flames and disappeared.
It was not just one Yuan Day. Balls of fiery threads surged out from the side of the Celestial Venerable Residence and quickly condensed into the shape of a celestial boat in the green light. Qi Yun was already there. Seeing Qi Zheng step out of the celestial boat, he hurriedly said, "My Lord, quick!"
"Quick?" Qi Zheng was really confused. However, he waved his sleeves and brought Qi Yun into the Celestial Venerable Residence.
When Qi Zheng landed in a large hall, Qi Yun flew out with a shake of his hand. Qi Yun just stood still and immediately said, "My Lord, don't set up the Silent Enchantment first. Set up an anti-detection immortal restriction first."
"Mm," Qi Zheng replied. He took out his own token and activated it with his immortal energy. A dozen or so illusory green lights appeared and protected the main hall. Only then did he ask, "What is it?"
Qi Yun smiled and transmitted his voice, "Li Moyi is the reincarnation of Heavenly Venerable Ye Qiong!"
"Ah!!" Qi Zheng exclaimed and shouted, "Re … really?"
Qi Yun had a smile on his face. He was not surprised by Qi Zheng's reaction at all. Wasn't he the same when he was on Yuan Day?
"My Lord, don't be anxious." Qi Yun waited for Qi Zheng to calm down before saying in a low voice, "However, I feel that this matter is a little strange, so I don't dare to act on my own. I hope that my Lord can turn back and support this matter."
Qi Zheng could not hide the joy in his eyes. This matter was much more important than investigating the destruction of the Immortal Mark. He sat down on the jade chair and smiled. "Tell me."
"Let Cheng Xu speak." Qi Yun smiled and took out his spatial immortal item.
"What?" Qi Zheng looked at Qi Yun and understood something. He said, "Cheng Xu has sided with you? He is Gao Lingsong's eldest disciple! "
"It's not much of a sided relationship," Qi Yun replied. "I know that this matter is very important. I'm afraid that I won't be able to grasp the situation properly. Therefore, I called Cheng Xu over. Since Cheng Xu took the initiative to talk to me about this, he must have some plans … "
As he spoke, Qi Yun activated his spatial immortal item and Cheng Xu flew out. When Cheng Xu saw Qi Zheng, he hurriedly knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, my Lord!"
"Get up." Qi Zheng nodded and said, "Quickly tell me everything that happened on the Lantern Day."
Cheng Xu agreed. Not only did he tell him about Gao Lingsong activating the Heavenly Worthy Lock and setting up a Small World to suppress him, he also told him about Wang Lang. He knew that whether he could stay by Qi Yun's side depended on this Lantern Day.
After he finished, Qi Zheng said, "I already know that sentence. You don't have to say it again. You can't even say it again in the future. Let me ask you, what do you think? Is Gao Lingsong … dead or alive? "
At this point, Qi Zheng frowned. He looked at Qi Yun and said, "You said that after Gao Lingsong became the Deputy Hall Master, he did not go to the Immortal Archive Hall to report the Life Mark Immortal Disc. Did he have other thoughts from the beginning?"
Qi Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Gao Lingsong was stupid and did not stand out among your disciples. If it wasn't for Wang Lang, he would not have become the Deputy Hall Master. That's why I did not pay much attention to him before."
"Sir," Cheng Xu thought for a moment, then said hurriedly, "You might have been deceived by my master."
"Ah?" Qi Zheng said in surprise, "Did he already have plans?"
"No, that's not it," Cheng Xu hurriedly said, "What this lowly one means is that my Lord might not be as stupid as you think he is. I remember there was one time when my Lord returned to the residence in a rage, as if he had been insulted by someone. He destroyed a few Immortal Tools and said, 'Once I've finished refining that thing, I'll let you know that I'm the real genius!'. When he said that, the Immortal Tools he destroyed happened to break a hole in the Great Hall's Immortal Restriction. That's why I heard it. "
"What Immortal Tool?" Qi Yun asked.
"That's not for me to know." Cheng Xu shook his head and said, "I only have a feeling that my master spent half of his time refining that Immortal Tool. That's why I said that."
"That's enough." Qi Zheng did not care about Gao Lingsong's Immortal Tool. He waved his hand and said, "Let's get back to the topic. Cheng Xu, do you think your master is dead or alive?"
"I have a feeling that my master has already been assassinated." Cheng Xu smiled and said, "It's within the space suppressed by the Heavenly Honorable Lock. The immortal who appeared after the Heavenly Honorable Lock flew away was my master's enemy. He disguised himself as my master."
"What proof do you have?" Qi Zheng asked.
"Firstly," Cheng Xu said, "My master was the one who led us from the Great Hall to the ambush location. When we returned, it was that person who asked me to bring you to the Great Hall. Initially, I thought that my master was heavily injured. Now that I think about it, that person must not know where the Great Hall is."
"Mm." Qi Zheng nodded.
"Secondly," Cheng Xu took out the jade scepter and said, "This is the immortal weapon that controls the Blessed and Blessed Grotto-Heaven. This item was previously imprinted with my master's spirit. As you know, my master is very cautious. He had tampered with an inconspicuous part of this immortal weapon, afraid that this humble one would recklessly refine this item. When this humble one received this item from that person, that small part had already disappeared. At first, this humble one thought that my master trusted me, but after some thought, I realized that this might not be the case. That person must have accidentally destroyed that part of the immortal weapon when he was refining it."
"What else?" Qi Zheng asked.
"Naturally, it's that sentence!" Cheng Xu smiled and said, "My master is extremely cautious. How could he tell me such an important thing? The last time he descended to the Lower Realm, he only said that he was looking for Wang Lang. He did not even mention where he was going. Even when he used the Heavenly Honorable Lock to set up the trap, he did not say who or why he set it up! "
"However," Qi Zheng smiled and said, "If that person killed Gao Lingsong and wanted to leave without anyone knowing, why would he leave such a sentence before he left? Isn't that a classic example of drawing legs on a snake? "
