Dachang Dynasty, the imperial capital of Zhongzhou.

In the past few days, the senior officials in the court and the Immortal Courtyard seemed extremely busy.

Bailu Xianweng, the governor of Lizhou, suddenly died, and the middle way of suppressing witches in the eight southwest states died, which then affected the strategic layout of the entire eight southwest states.

As a last resort, Tianchao Xianting had to temporarily adjust its layout, shrink the front line, and slowly plan for it. However, no one expected that in just a few days, the situation would reverse again. Chu Chen succeeded the White Deer Immortal and actually shouldered the suppression again.

Wu Chongren completely reversed the situation.

This made the core members of the imperial capital happy, but also a little depressed.

Previously, the strategic layout was adjusted, whether it was the court or the fairy court, with great efforts. There was a big change of officials, immortals, ghosts and gods in Lizhou. The personnel transfer involved was extremely complicated, involving several states, many officials, immortals, officials, ghosts and gods.

The imperial edict of mobilization and the edict of the Immortal Court have been sent out.

At present, the situation is changing again and again. The previous personnel arrangements may be inappropriate, and it is difficult to change them overnight. We have to weigh all parties, rearrange and arrange.

Among them, the interests of the Jade Emperor and the Ziwei sect are involved, and the situation is quite complicated. It cannot be completely adjusted in a day or two, and it is a big trouble.

In the past three or four days, the imperial cabinet and the Immortal Court Presbyterian Council have been red-faced with each other over personnel transfers among a group of great scholars and high-level officials. Each has his or her own opinion and demands, seeking a balance in the debate.

Imperial Palace, Xuanzheng Hall, Wu Dynasty.

Mr. Ming Jing sat high on the dragon's throne. Below him were the chief minister of the cabinet, the four secondary ministers, the nine elders of the Immortal Court and a group of senior officials of the imperial court. The high-ranking officials of the Immortal Court sat down in stages to discuss important matters.

Since he came to the throne, Mr. Ming Jing has been very diligent and worked hard to govern. He has two regular court meetings every day, morning and afternoon. Dachang has a vast territory, and important emergencies happen from time to time. It is also a good idea to summon ministers to attend the evening court.

Something that happens all the time.

Compared with the morning court, which summons hundreds of officials, and the late court, which responds to emergencies, under normal circumstances, the real decisions of the Celestial Court often occur in the afternoon court, when Mr. Mingjing discusses with the cabinet elders, the chief elder of the fairy court, etc.

The documents sent out from the Xuanzheng Hall represent the highest decision-making of the Celestial Court, and their words influence the situation of the world.

In the hall, as the documents in front of the case gradually became empty, Mr. Ming Jing relaxed a little. Maybe he remembered something, and he asked casually:

"What's going on with the personnel arrangements in the eight southwest states?"

"Your Majesty, the arrangements are generally in place."

Master Tianshi Gutong cupped his hands and explained:

"Right now, the focus of the eight southwest states is on Lizhou. In the next few years, the focus of Lizhou will still be on suppressing witches. Therefore, the immortal officials and ghosts and gods appointed this time are mainly good at catching monsters and handling cases, accounting for 80% of them.

The immortal officials, ghosts and gods who preach will be supplemented, and in the future, according to the situation of the witch hunt, the number of immortal officials, ghosts and gods who preach and educate will gradually increase."

"Great kindness!"

Mr. Ming Jing casually took a photo of the candidates for the Department of Ghosts and Gods, the Department of Supervision, and the Taoist Academy in all major prefectures and counties in Lizhou. After a casual glance, he found that the general situation was quite in line with his wishes, and he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

After looking around, he might have thought of something, and looked at Master Gu Tong:

"Friends of the Ancient Way, Inspector of Lizhou, are there any candidates in Xianting?"

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with Taoist friends Yulou, Chongxu and other Taoist friends, and they all agreed that the position of Supervisor of Lizhou should be concurrently held by Taoist Chu, who will be in charge of the suppression of witches, and will be more responsible for the situation in Lizhou and the southwest.

For the benefit."

Master Gutong felt quite sad.

Although this proposal was proposed by Master Yulou, he did not object to it.

Before that, he had been proposing that Bailu Xianweng, who was the governor of the state at the time, should also serve as the supervisor of Lizhou and take charge of the witch hunt. Now that Lizhou was entering the crucial final battle of the witch hunt, he had no objection at all and could only make up his mind.

Check your nose.

Immediately, Master Gutong said again:

"Your Majesty, given Fellow Daoist Chu's ability, give him a term of office. After three years, he will be able to finish the witch hunt. It won't be too late to choose another Lizhou Supervisor at that time!"

Mr. Mingjing, all the pavilion elders in the hall, and the great elder nodded slightly, and they all agreed.

In fact, everyone has already reached a consensus on this matter, and they are not surprised at all. On the contrary, everyone is very interested in the "witch hunt" deadline.

Mr. Youge smiled and asked jokingly:

"Fellow Ancient Daoist, you have so much confidence in Daoist Chu that you can kill the Witch God Li Tian in three years?"

Master Gutong smiled.

In fact, if one puts aside the factional stance, he quite appreciates Chu Chen's way of doing things. In addition, Chu Chen has inherited the witch-suppressing magic weapon and legacy of his old friend and subordinate, the White Deer Immortal. If the witch god can be eradicated, the White Deer Immortal will also benefit.

He was very happy to see it come to fruition.

"Yes, I am quite optimistic about Fellow Daoist Chu. I am not sure that under his leadership, it will take less than three years to eradicate the Litian Witch God!"

“Best regards, friends of the Ancient Road!”

In the hall, all the pavilion elders and the great elders laughed and agreed, and the scene was quite lively.

Only Master Yulou and Taoist Chongxu frowned slightly.

Master Gutong's tone was a bit too high, and he was suspected of trying to kill Chu Chen.

Master Yulou thought for a moment, without hesitation, and planned to say a few words. However, just when he was about to speak, a roar came through the clouds from outside the hall.

Everyone in the hall was a third-grade monk with great supernatural powers. They had keen spiritual awareness and immediately swept over.

The one roaring over was the golden-armored divine general from the palace. At this moment, he came in a hurry with a scroll in his hand.

"Report! Si Tianjian, the eight states in the southwest are experiencing strange phenomena, auspiciousness descending from the sky, and golden light rolling hundreds of miles away!"

Auspiciousness comes from heaven!

When Mr. Ming Jing heard this, a look of surprise appeared on Feng Qingyun Dan's face.

What happy event happened?

As soon as he thought about it, Mr. Ming Jing reached out to take the folded book handed over by Si Tianjian, and his consciousness sank into it.

The next moment, Mr. Ming Jing was first surprised and overjoyed.

When the elders and elders in the hall saw this, they were extremely curious as to what happened to make Mr. Ming Jing so surprised.

"Your Majesty, what happened in the eight southwest states?"

"It's a great event!"

On the throne, Mr. Ming Jing was quite excited:

"Si Tianjian reported that the visions in the eight southwest states are merit sent from heaven. It is suspected that someone killed the Witch God Li Tian. Heaven and earth felt it and sent down immeasurable merit!"

Somewhere in the dark, heaven and earth may have confirmed it.

The next moment, golden lights of merit and virtue appeared out of thin air in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Among them, the most dazzling one is none other than Mr. Ming Jing, with strands of golden light flashing from the top of his head and sinking into his body.

Immortal of the Immortal Courtyard, Celestial Master Gutong Zhenren, envoy of the Eight Prefectures of the Southwest, Chongxu Taoist, the golden light of merit above his head is second only to Mr. Mingjing.

In addition, many people in the palace also have some meritorious deeds and have been bestowed with golden light.

"This is."

For a time, the originally quiet palace suddenly became boiling with heated discussions.

Everyone in the hall was a well-informed person. As soon as they saw this scene, they guessed something.

It was the people from the Immortal Court of Heaven who killed the Witch God Li Tian!

Only in this way, Mr. Ming Jing, Master Gu Tong, Taoist Chongxu and other high-ranking officials in the Celestial Dynasty can benefit from it.

You Xian Ting Gao Gong swallowed his saliva, his eyes showed a look of disbelief.

As a result, everyone looked at Taoist Chongxu.

Taoist Chongxu is one of the nine great elders of the Immortal Court. He has been in charge of the Demon Court in the eight southwest states for a long time, and he is responsible for promoting the affairs of demons, demons and gods in the eight states. He is the top leader of the Immortal Court in the eight southwest states.

"Fellow Daoist Chongxu, what happened in the eight southwest states?"

"I don't even know this right now."

Taoist Chongxu looked embarrassed, he really didn't know what happened.

After saying that, without saying a word, he returned to his true self and asked about the situation.

Mr. Mingjing, Mr. Gutong, Mr. Yulou and others also showed their magical powers and secretly communicated the situation in the eight southwest states tens of thousands of miles away.

After a while.

"It was actually the handiwork of Fellow Daoist Chu, who beheaded Li Tian Witch God!"

All the senior executives of the pavilion and the elders of Immortal Court in the hall showed strange expressions.

Why three years? Chu Chen killed the Litian Witch God in three days, transferred him to Lizhou as a clerk, and didn't even have a chance to leave the imperial capital.

The imperial capital of Zhongzhou was shocked by the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth in Lizhou, and the eight southwest states located in the "epicenter" were even more shocked.

At the moment when the vision of golden light rolling hundreds of miles appeared, almost all the top powerhouses in the eight southwest states were alarmed, whether they were old monsters who fell asleep, or masters who were meditating in seclusion, or even those who were fiercely fighting.

The people who were fighting each other stopped at the same time and looked sideways, all showing shock.

Yaozhou Divine Fox Palace.

"Mom, this is."
