A Qingtang guard pretended to be a passerby and asked Wang Qi in a low voice as he passed by.
Wang Qi lowered his head to avoid being read on his lips, and quickly replied: "Xia's spies left a code on the tree, asking me to meet at the witch temple five miles to the west."
The Qingtang inner guard heard Wang Qi's answer and showed no unnecessary signs. He quickly passed by Wang Qi, as if there was no intersection between the two.
However, after receiving the news, the people from the Qingtang Neiwei Mansion immediately made changes.
They left some people behind and continued to search and follow the area to see if anyone suspicious appeared.
At the same time, they sent manpower to the witch temple five miles to the west. In addition to monitoring the outside, they also sent a few people to pretend to be believers to pray for their relatives who went to Xia Kingdom with the army, hoping that they could all come back alive to pray for them.
Therefore, I went into the witch temple and explored it.
However, they did not see anyone in the witch temple, nor did they find any traps.
Even in this witch temple, there is not even a wizard.
The wizard went to Xia Kingdom with the army, but he hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if he has already entered the belly of the wild dog.
Although no one was seen in the witch temple, the Qingtang internal guards did not relax their vigilance and still monitored and followed carefully.
After a while, Wang Yi arrived at the witch temple.
Entering the temple, he saw no one, so he was not in a hurry. He looked around to see if there were any new secret words left.
However, this time, he found nothing.
Just when Wang Yi was surprised and stunned, and couldn't help but wonder if the secret had been exposed, several people suddenly appeared in the witch temple. When they saw Wang Yi, they made a gesture towards him.
It was exactly the gesture used by Xia Guo's secret agent to reveal his identity.
Wang Qi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was actually meeting him here, and more than one person came.
He is only afraid that no one will come, but not that many people will come.
If there was only one person coming to join, the guards in Qingtang might not close the net so quickly and would have to put a long line to catch the big fish.
But since there are so many people coming, the Qingtang Internal Guards should start arresting people as soon as possible to prevent unintended consequences.
Even if we don't catch all the secret spies in Xia Kingdom, we can still have a few more people go back and torture them. As long as they pry open the mouths of these people, we won't be afraid that we won't be able to catch the remaining secret spies.
And he, Wang Yi, can naturally use this merit to obtain the antidote and get rid of the life-worse-than-death that comes once a month.
Maybe he can find a position in the Qingtang Internal Guard.
After all, he is very experienced in helping deal with Xia Kingdom's secret spies.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi couldn't help showing an expression of excitement and surprise on his face, and he returned a gesture to the people who walked into the witch temple.
Immediately afterwards, the two sides exchanged a few more secret signals, and after confirming that the person coming was a spy from the Xia Kingdom, Wang Yi burst out laughing.
He was happy from the bottom of his heart and said loudly: "I finally met someone from my hometown."
Wang Yi is reminding the Qingtang inner guards outside that these people are secret spies of the Xia Kingdom, and you can take action.
If it weren't for the fear that these secret spies from the Xia Kingdom would notice him and pounce on him and take him hostage, Wang Yi would have wanted to yell "do it" at the top of his lungs.
Even now, Wang Qi was still afraid that the other party would notice something, so he quietly distanced himself from the other party to guard against a sudden attack.
However, these Xia Kingdom spies didn't seem to notice anything strange about him, and they smiled very happily: "Yes, I finally see you."
Wang Qi felt something was wrong in his heart.
Are these secret spies from the Xia Kingdom too lacking in vigilance? Or do they have some other tricks up their sleeves?
But Wang Ji soon felt relieved again.
He saw the Qingtang inner guards speeding towards him.
The operation to close the net has begun, and even if these secret agents of the Xia Kingdom have tricks, they are of no use.
What Wang Qi has to do now is to protect himself and not get hurt by these secret spies of Xia State who are fighting to the death.
But Wang Qi soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary.
When the Qingtang inner guards who were ambushing outside the witch temple rushed in like wolves and tigers, the secret spies of the Xia Kingdom seemed to be frightened and had no reaction.
Neither resisting nor breaking out, he looked resigned to being captured.
"It seems that there is no one left in Xia Kingdom, so they actually sent such people to act as secret spies."
Pavilion leader Latu, a man with mid-level fourth-level cultivation and a stature as tall as a bear, walked into the witch temple surrounded by several Qingtang inner guards and glanced at the few who seemed to be frightened.
The secret spy of Xia Kingdom made a disdainful comment.
Then, he ordered: "If you don't want to die, just follow us obediently... eh?"
Latu was about to have these Xia Kingdom spies tortured and brought back for torture, but he discovered that these Xia Kingdom spies had a strange "fading" condition.
In the blink of an eye, these secret spies of the Xia Kingdom transformed from living people into paper figures.
This change, even during the day, is still terrifying.
"paper man?"
"What kind of spell is this?"
"We were fooled, this is a trap!"
The expressions of the Qingtang guards in the witch temple all changed drastically.
The Xia Kingdom's secret agents dared to lay a trap in Qingtang and lure them into taking the bait, which shows that they are confident.
Although I don't know where Xia Guo's secret agent got his confidence, it is very dangerous to continue to stay in this place.
Latu immediately ordered: "Go out first and meet up with our people who stayed outside the temple, and then wait for an opportunity to act."
The Qingtang guards in the witch temple responded in unison and were about to protect Latu and retreat outside the witch temple.
Seeing this, Wang Qi hurried over and crawled over, wanting to follow them.
But at this moment, those paper figures who had been very timid before suddenly moved and pounced on Latu and Wang Yi with extremely fast speed and strange movements.
When the Qingtang inner guards saw this, they all slashed with their swords.
Under the action of the sharp sword light and vertical and horizontal blood energy, several paper figures were chopped to pieces in an instant.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a piece of golden light suddenly bloomed from the broken paper figures, turning into chains and wrapping around them.
Some of the inner guards of Qingtang were unable to react in time and were immediately tied up with these golden chains.
There are actually runes hidden on these paper figures, and the condition for activating these runes is their attack!
The guards in Qingtang were shocked.
The activation of the talisman requires spiritual power and blood, and freaks like Brother Cui are not included in this.
Under this situation, once Qin Shaoyou and others use spiritual power and blood to activate the runes on the paper figures, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance and precautions of the Qingtang internal guards.
So Qin Shaoyou drew on Senior Brother Cui's special abilities, as well as the landmines and other objects he had seen in his previous life, and made suggestions to Senior Brother Tuhuang, who tinkered all night and came up with this 'trigger talisman'.
As long as someone uses spiritual power and blood energy to 'touch' the runes, the runes will immediately take effect and attack the person who activated them.
The Qingtang inner guards did not expect such a situation. In an instant, several people were restrained by the 'Immortal Binding Talisman', which made it difficult for them to move.
When Latu saw this, he let out a deep roar, and blood surged out of his body, making his figure instantly swell, like a burly and angry brown bear. At the same time, he drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed at the golden chain.
"boom--"
The golden chain broke instantly and turned into a patch of light scattered.
But before the guards in Qingtang could breathe a sigh of relief, a rapid sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air suddenly sounded inside the witch temple.
Arrows engraved with runes whizzed down from above the heads of the inner guards of Qingtang.
After these Qingtang internal guards arrived at the witch temple, they launched an investigation and even used supernatural items, but they did not find anyone hiding in the temple.
Now it seems that these secret agents of Xia Kingdom should be carrying some kind of treasure that can hide their body.
It's a pity that I only know this now, it's too late.
These arrows engraved with runes are not only faster, but also have strong armor-piercing and gas-breaking capabilities. They are even poisoned, so that those who are hit by the arrows will immediately be attacked by lightning and poison, and are helpless.
Then circulate the blood and activate the power.
However, there were also a few strong internal guards, together with Latu, who used the blood and sword energy released from the outside to block the incoming talisman arrows, and pulled their injured colleagues to withdraw from the witch temple.
.
At the same time, Latu also freed up his left hand, took out a loud arrow made like a cloud-penetrating arrow from his arms, and was about to shoot it into the air to call for reinforcements.
But at this moment, an extremely powerful sword light struck into the witch temple with lightning speed.
Although Latu tried his best to activate his blood energy and activate his skills in the first place, his left hand was still cut off in an instant.
Blood falls like petals.
The sounding arrow that fell along with the severed hand was swept by a sword energy and sent to the hands of a burly scribe who was punching the door panel.
Latu looked at this man with horror on his face.
Although the opponent only fired one sword, the power contained in it made Latu despair.
That is the power of demigods!
No wonder this group of Xia spies dared to lay a trap in Qingtang territory to trap them, the Qingtang internal guards. It turned out that they were accompanied by demigods.
The person who came was none other than Wei Tu.
He grinned at Latu: "Isn't it the leader of the inner guard pavilion? Our Lord invites you to meet us." After a pause, he shook his head and said: "I thought you would be more vigilant and send a few people to contact us first.
I have been preparing to deal with you for several days, but I didn’t expect you to take the bait so quickly... It seems that the Qingtang inner guards are nothing more than that."
When Latu heard this, his face turned blue and white.
Not long ago, he had just canceled Xia Guo's secret spy, but he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face right away.
This retribution must have come a little too soon.
At the same time, Latu was also secretly worried: To be called an adult by a demigod... what kind of terrifying existence would that be?!
