But it was said that Zhao Xun and his party returned to Ningzhou City after capturing the Snake Lin Beast.
Although they didn't want to cause too much noise, it was impossible to capture such a big monster without making a fuss.
When the common people saw that the monster was captured, they rushed forward to see what happened.
"Dad, look at that monster. It has a snake head but a body like a tiger."
"What a tiger, it's obviously a leopard."
"In my opinion, it's a lion."
"This monster is so big, only slightly smaller than an elephant, and it can't even eat a person in one bite."
"Those missing people must have been kidnapped by this beast, right?"
"It's probably already in this beast's belly."
"I heard that the imperial envoy captured this beast. The imperial envoy is so powerful."
"Then, is it said that the Imperial Envoy is a cultivator or a disciple of the academy?"
"Academy, which academy?"
"Of course it's Haoran Academy. Is there any other academy in the world that can be as famous as Haoran Academy?"
"No wonder the academy disciples are so terrified."
Zhao Xun did not pay attention to the discussions of the people. In his opinion, this was the basic quality of an official.
"The imperial envoy was so powerful that he captured the monster alive, which is really a blessing to the people of Ningzhou. On behalf of the folks in Ningzhou, I would like to express my gratitude to the imperial envoy for his grace."
Wan Cishi bowed respectfully to Zhao Xun, his eyes full of admiration.
Zhao Xunxu helped Wan Jishi up and said calmly: "Wan Jishi doesn't have to be like this. I just did what I should do. What's more, this is just the beginning."
Zhao Xun paused and continued: "The reason why these monsters dare to wreak havoc along the coast must be under the orders of the Demon King. The reason why the Demon King wants to invade the coast must have an ulterior motive. I must follow the clues and uncover the truth."
the truth."
Wan Jishishi said excitedly: "If you have any use, the imperial envoy, please go to the lower official's place and give me your instructions."
"Let's lock up this monster first. I will personally interrogate it later."
"this…"
Wan Cishi looked troubled when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, this cell can be packed into a room, which can barely hold this monster alone. But with the size and strength of this monster, it should be easily broken out of the wooden fence of the cell, right?"
Wan Jishi's worries are not unreasonable. It is naturally impossible for Zhao Xun to imprison the monster in a cell like this.
"I will put a talisman in the cell, which will be enough to calm this beast."
The Sixth Senior Brother and Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi are both experts in using talismans, and they have the confidence to do so in Zhao Xun.
"That's good, that's good."
Wan Cishi was ecstatic and said: "Everything depends on the imperial envoy."
…
…
After a short rest, Zhao Xun went to the prison with his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi and his sixth brother Lu Guangdou.
To be on the safe side, the snake-lin beast was tied up with a demon-tying rope.
Zhao Xun did not dare to take risks until he was sure that the talisman really had an effect on this beast.
If this beast really breaks out of the cell, Zhao Xun and others are not worried.
They are all practitioners and are fully capable of protecting themselves.
But ordinary jailers and other government officials are just mortals.
If the monster hurts them, it will be fatal.
"Then the question is, Master, Sixth Brother, which one of you is going to ask the question?"
My previous mentor boasted very loudly about how to control beasts.
Senior Brother Six also said that he could understand the language of monsters.
Now that it's time to ask questions, who of the two can stand up?
After a moment of silence, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi stepped forward and said, "Come as a teacher."
Zhao Xun felt in his heart that Jiang was still old and hot, and his mentor did not disappoint him.
I saw Wu Quanyi approaching the cell, squatting down, and silently reciting a spell.
Zhao Xun didn't understand this stuff at all, so he could only wait quietly.
He occasionally glanced at where the sixth senior brother was and found that his expression was as usual.
Can Sixth Senior Brother understand this spell?
Zhao Xun didn't know, but he knew that the sixth senior brother looked very cool and cool.
After all, if you are an academy disciple, you still need to be strong.
Although you may not understand the meaning of the spell, you must pretend that you understand everything.
Zhao Xun followed suit and stood quietly behind Wu Quanyi with his Sixth Senior Brother.
After about a cup of tea, Taoist Master Qinglian stopped whispering, with a shocked expression on his face.
"This is impossible…"
"Teacher, what's going on?"
"My master just used the combination of beast control and mind-observation skills to invade the sea of consciousness of this monster to see what's going on. I don't know this, but after a quick look, I discovered..."
Wu Quanyi sighed and said: "The rampage of monsters along the southeast coast is indeed related to the Demon Sect in the north."
"Demon Sect?"
Zhao Xun frowned.
"Teacher, what you mean is that in the Huangzhou case, the Demon Sect strongman forcibly broke the mirror and entered the second level in response to the raging monsters in the southeast?"
"There should be a relationship. But there is no conclusive evidence for the connection between the two events."
Zhao Xun was silent.
Compared to the beginning, he now has a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the chaos in the southeast.
In his opinion, the southeastern monster beasts and the northern demon sect have joined forces, and their purpose is likely to be directed at the imperial court.
They want to shake the rule of the Zhou Dynasty!
"The information I saw was fragmented, but I vaguely discovered that this matter is also related to the East Vietnam Kingdom."
"East Vietnam?"
Zhao Xun's head was really as big as a bucket now.
The demon sects and monster beasts alone are enough to cause trouble, and now an East Yue country has been added to the mix.
Although Dongyue is a small place, after all, it has the strongest swordsman in the world, Wei Wuji, sitting there.
With the blessing of Wei Wuji, Dongyue Sword Pavilion is known as the most skilled sword sect in the world.
Although this matter was scorned by the sword masters in the world, this is the fact...
"Why is Dongyue involved?"
"Hard to say."
Taoist Priest Qinglian shook his head and said, "But if three families join forces, it would be really dangerous."
"good."
Senior Brother Six, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up this time: "From the perspective of playing chess, the Demon Sect and the northern barbarians are in the north, Dongyue is in the east, and the monsters are in the south. Moves are arranged on three sides of the chessboard.
If we use force at the same time, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Only the west side is missing..."
Zhao Xun murmured.
"To the west is the Western Region."
The Sixth Senior Brother said calmly: "The Western Regions have nothing to do with us, right? Not to mention that they have no friendship with the other three forces. The Western Regions will not take action."
"It's hard to say, there are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests. The countries in the Western Regions have coveted Guazhou and Shazhou for a long time. When the Zhou army was strong, they naturally did not dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. But if the Zhou army was mobilized
They have gone to fight in other places, and it is not unusual for them to take action when Guazhou and Shazhou are depleted of troops."
Zhao Xun said worriedly: "I finally understand that every vibration here is connected."
