Chapter 691: Cunning and shrewd (First update)

The night is deepest before dawn. In the late spring and early summer seasons, the wind is still a bit chilly. At this time, the people who are busy on the streets are often poor families, including watchmen and people driving donkey carts to collect night incense from door to door. .

The disgusting stench wafted from the back of the car, but Lao Jiang took it for granted. He drank a few pennies of bad wine to drive away the cold air, sang operas in a low voice, and steered the old donkey steadily.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and he seemed to see a figure flashing past, and he couldn't help but shudder, thinking that he had encountered a ghost.

Looking around cautiously, he found a piece of yellow paper taped to the wall at the corner of the street.

"Have you passed by before..." Lao Jiang's heart skipped a beat. As the donkey cart slowly approached, he saw strange patterns painted on the yellow paper, marked with the kind of words that could be found all over the street.

"The evil ghost summons the soul?" Lao Jiang thought of the yellow paper talismans in the Taoist temple, and was so frightened that he peed his pants and drove Lao Donkey away quickly!

Not long after his figure disappeared, a night patrolman dressed as a six-door man came and also found the yellow paper.

"Picture of the entrance to the Nine Heavens Ruins..." The detective muttered the beginning of the text, as if he was still dreaming!

The whole city is covered with yellow paper pictures, and there is an undercurrent surging before dawn!

…………

When Yuan Lihuo, the "Blood Tooth God Catcher", received the news, he saw the yellow paper and the entrance map to the Nine Heavens depicted on it.

"You can't find anything even after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here..." Yuan Lihuo whispered without joy, "It's true as Su Meng said, the trap is very deep, and the mastermind behind the scenes has a huge plan!"

"Now, the whole god is afraid that it will boil!"

He had only been reminded by Meng Qi during the day, and planned to wait and see what happened while contacting his helpers. But he had just gone to the Immortal Relic and left a message, and there had been such a big change here.

Yuan Lihuo seemed to be able to imagine what the princes in the court would do next, and he seemed to see that his plans and preparations had been aborted before they even started!

"I wonder what's going on with Su Meng..." He rubbed the yellow paper.

…………

Sun Yuexiu, who was in a complicated mood, glanced at the other two rooms in the guest courtyard, turned around, and followed her senior sister Ren Jingxiu out of the courtyard.

Ren Jingxiu's face was calm, with a little emotion in his eyes. He became more and more reserved, as if he was a little bit shocked by the previous battle.

She seemed to have only seen that kind of swordsmanship from the master-level elders in her sect. She was still far behind, considering she was from a sword sect!

"In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid it would take some truly top figures from the major sword sects to defeat him..." Ren Jingxiu thought to himself, recalling the details of that battle.

Such powerful men had already intervened and alerted the Jin court. She thought she would never have a chance again, so she planned to leave the divine capital with her junior sister.

"Hey, senior sister, what are they looking at?" Sun Yuexiu's eyes wandered and he found a bunch of idlers surrounding the entrance of the alley.

Ren Jingxiu looked away, his eyes suddenly froze, and he seemed to lose his voice and said to himself:

"Entrance map of the Nine Heavens ruins..."

"What?" Sun Yuexiu felt frightened.

"It seems to be true..." Ren Jingxiu combined the ancient books left by the sect and various rumors that Xuantian Sect obtained the Time Knife, and roughly judged from the clues that this entrance picture was at least partially true!

Sun Yuexiu took a deep breath and regained her composure: "Things are strange. I'm afraid there are many traps."

"Well, you and I are strong enough to travel across the world and are not afraid of most dangers, but it is better not to get involved in such a strange matter rashly. We should send a message to the sect first and ask the leader to make a decision." Ren Jingxiu said solemnly.

The two women took a deep look at the yellow paper, memorized the patterns and words on it, and then left quickly, preparing to send a message to the Blue Moon Sword Sect.

…………

In the political hall, the emperor hangs his bow and the princes discuss government affairs.

And the contemporary Marquis of Pingjin, Cui Qinghe, the head of the Cui family, is also here!

After knowing that the Nine Heavens entrance map was all over the city, several top families, including the Zhao family in the divine capital, had quickly exchanged opinions and reached an agreement. Now it was just a formality.

Cui Qinghe did his duty, his Qingguo face showed dignity: "The picture of the entrance to the Nine Heavens is true, but the mastermind behind the scenes has ulterior motives."

If there was no way to confirm that half of the entrance picture in Bai Ning's hand was genuine, how could they have been scheming before?

Wang Wenxian, who was involved in political affairs, said: "The matter is in the capital of the gods, and we are guests from afar. How can we ignore it?"

Cui Qinghe nodded in greeting: "Since the incident happened in Shendu, how can we sit idly by and ignore it? I suggest that we first fully activate the Shendu formation, suppress it with the Nine Dragon Seal, isolate the inside and outside, and temporarily seal the city so that the news about the entrance map cannot be transmitted. ”

In this way, apart from the strong men who have long been hiding in the city of God, the number of contenders can be minimized, such as those who came after hearing the news.

"Secondly, not only should we not relax our vigilance in important places in the city of God, but we must also take strict precautions to prevent the masterminds behind the scenes from attacking in the east or the evil spirits taking advantage of the situation."

"Finally, I will take the lead, followed by the masters from each family in the divine capital and the six sect gods, and carefully explore the entrance to the Nine Heavens. The masters and below should not take risks."

Zhao Jingshi stood next to the Emperor, took a deep look at Sima Shi, and said proactively: "I am in charge of the Nine Dragons Seal and suppress the capital of the gods. Why don't you let the chief catcher hold the Emperor's Sword and follow the Marquis of Pingjin?"

The Emperor's Sword currently belongs to the royal family in name, but is actually taken care of by the Political Affairs Hall in turn. At this time, the half-step Dharmakaya is definitely better than the Grandmaster in using the Emperor's Sword. Sima Shi, as a political advisor, is the only one other than Zhao Jingshi who can use the Emperor's Sword. Candidate.

Cui Qinghe is a man of great stature. If he were to take charge of the Divine Weapon Emperor Sword again, the other families would feel uneasy. Therefore, after hearing Zhao Jingshi's proposal, they all nodded in agreement.

And Shendu is the Zhao family's "base camp". Among all the families, the Zhao family undoubtedly wants nothing more than trouble in Shendu. It is reasonable for Zhao Jingshi to take the initiative to stay with Jiulong Xi.

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

After a few breaths, wind and clouds gathered over the city of Gods, golden light swayed in circles, and the breaths of all living beings merged into dragons of humanity!

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

Yuan Lihuo sighed, understanding that the "reinforcements" would not come...

…………

Fragments of Heaven, inside the palace.

Han Guang has returned to his free and easy state, without the slight embarrassment just now. His energy spread and he asked casually: "Have everyone been evacuated?"

Gao Lan still sat in the position of Emperor of Heaven with a cold expression: "Those who should have evacuated have almost evacuated, and those who should have entered the upper layers of the sky to hide and wait have also entered. Are you really willing to give up here?"

Han Guang put his hands on his back with a smile on his face: "The detailed location has been known to outsiders, what else is there to be attached to? Give up, give up, only those who give up will gain. If the fatal flaw is caught by others, I will turn a blind eye. , I hope the other party will be merciful and not leak this matter in the future? It just needs to buy some time to transfer important things."

Gao Lan seemed to be the emperor who ruled the world. He glanced at Han Guang lightly and said, "After being a monk for several years, his words have become more Zen-like."

"Buddhist scriptures also contain good principles. I have a deep understanding of them, but we need to take the essence and discard the dross." Han Guang walked to the edge of the hall, looking up at the dense clouds in the sky, his eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were curved with a smile that was not a smile. line, "They're almost there."

"They came prepared and should be able to open it in one fell swoop." Gao Lan patted the armrest and stood up slowly. He was tall and had the potential to fill the world.

Han Guang looked at it with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about the secrets between heaven and earth, life and death, and said, "I have been here for many years, and I have searched the lower floors several times. I didn't expect that there are still missing places that hide the secrets of the Nine Heavens Xuannv." , The little girl from Luo Jiao seems to know this place better than me."

"All the saints of the Luo religion have said that they are the reincarnation of the old mother who has no life. She has the foundation of ancient power. It is not surprising to know." Gao Lan walked towards Han Guang.

Han Guang chuckled: "Although the Wusheng Old Mother is said to be a powerful person in ancient times, her origins are mysterious. She suddenly appeared at the end of ancient times, merged with Buddhism and Taoism, and formed her own family. She lived until the early Middle Ages, and no one knew her original roots."

…………

Using the green light to support their feet, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang quickly ascended, passing through layers of solid white clouds and crystal wall-like voids.

Broken white clouds, torn oceans, toppled fairy mountains, the Tianhe River broken into several sections, and only the ruins of palaces and caves left behind, all passed Meng Qi's sight one by one, but when he tried to take a closer look, they all quickly disappeared. , like many phantoms.

I don't know how much time passed, but Meng Qi's feet were already stepping on the white clouds. The surroundings were misty, and the sea of ​​vitality between heaven and earth washed over his body, endless, and the principles of the law that were originally inaccessible seemed to be clearly visible, the element of fire. It turns into a flame, flowing water turns into a pond, and so on.

"The lower floors are the caves of the gods, the residences of various ministries, and the palace of the Emperor of Heaven. They have been looted long ago. Our target is the top three floors." Gu Xiaosang seemed to have forgotten that Meng Qi was still holding his hand, and said with a slight smile. , another different style.

The witch has such a variety of styles... Meng Qi let go of his hand and looked around, only to see a whirlpool in the distance. Purple thunder sealed the door, crackling sounds, and every thunder seemed to contain a piece of heaven and earth!

"My lord, just highlight the thunder mark and strike it with the Nine Destructions of the Divine Sky." Gu Xiaosang took a step back and stood gracefully, her white skirt moving in the windless way, as if surrounding her.

Meng Qi took a deep breath, but did not put away the purple thunder marks on the back of his hand. The long knife in his right hand was tilted slightly, and he suddenly slashed out, diagonally upwards, trembling continuously.

Every tremor has Yin and Yang evolution, generating a series of Zhiyang thunder, condensed at the tip of the knife.

boom!

The long sword hit the purple door, and the condensed thunder exploded. The air was filled with the aura of the Sun. Meng Qi's soul was shocked, and his mind fell into an inexplicable illusion. He saw the purple thunder in front of him growing into shape, turning into a bronze-skinned giant. His whole body was covered with ancient thunder marks and he carried a spear.

Seeing this, Meng Qi did not dare to neglect. The knife in his hand suddenly disappeared and appeared silently behind the giant. The thunder was lingering and the soul was eroding the bones.

Boom!

The giant's spear that was about to swing stopped immediately and did not resist anymore. Instead, it divided part of the thunder and merged into the Yin Thunder, which itself was eliminated a lot.

Meng Qi's heart was shocked, he raised his long sword, and the sky struck with five thunders!

Boom!

Heavenly punishments came one after another, and the giants disappeared.

At this moment, a boundary monument flew into the dim purple door. Meng Qi's nose smelled of a delicate fragrance that resembled orchids, and Gu Xiaosang's voice sounded in his ears:

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

Meng Qi's alertness increased, and he took a step forward, as if he had passed through the void and the world, and reached the end of heaven and earth.

The light in front of his eyes lit up, and Meng Qi saw ancient peach trees with knotted branches. Their branches and leaves were withered, and the bark was glowing with blood. The soil on the ground seemed to have been infected by blood, and the strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

"Pan Taoyuan..." Gu Xiaosang's whisper-like voice drifted.
