Hong Xingxian held the secret order given by Emperor Hengyang and read it carefully, with a smile on his face.
"After such a long time, has your Majesty finally made up his mind? Very good, very good."
He whispered to himself, the smile on his face getting colder and colder.
"Charm!"
Hong Xingxian called in a low voice, and a figure jumped out from the shadows, kneeling on one knee in front of Hong Xingxian.
"Pass my secret order to mobilize 70% of the spies in Heqing Road to secretly sneak into the territory under the jurisdiction of the Red Heart Sect. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Red Heart Sect's station to capture Zhu Hong and interrogate the Red Heart Sect's collusion with the Wu Kingdom to cause trouble in Jianbei Road!"
Hong Xingxian said calmly.
"yes!"
When the figure heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he knew in his heart that the real storm on Heqing Road was about to begin.
At the same time, the Red Heart faction was stationed in the area.
The leader, Zhu Hong, was in the room, checking the information sent back by the spies in the door.
And this information is basically related to the changes in Jianbei Road.
Regarding the Jianbei Road incident, due to the involvement of the Wu Kingdom, even though most of the canonized schools do not know the inside story, they are already trying their best to collect information.
"There has been a change in the Absolute Territory. Masters of magical powers from the Wu Kingdom have invaded with many innate masters. They are suspected of achieving a certain goal. Now the imperial court is under martial law in Jianbei Road. Are spies from all walks of life gathering in Jianbei Road?"
Zhu Hong read the information he had just received. Instead of feeling free and easy, his face looked very solemn.
For some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
This is a kind of intuition belonging to warriors.
Is this matter related to Zhao Xing?
He didn't know that there was no result in inquiring through special channels to the Chixin Sect station in Jianbei Road, because Zhao Xuanqi and others went out for training and were missing for the time being.
But he had a vague intuition that the changes in Jianbei Road were probably inseparable from Zhao Xing.
After all, not long ago, he discovered that the Thunder Fire Golden Armor repaired itself again, and the degree of repair this time was greater than any previous time.
Even because of the repair of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor and the connection of luck, he has recently felt that the bottleneck of his realm is loosening and he is moving towards the realm of magical powers.
This shows that within a short period of time, that person must have made another breakthrough, and his strength and realm have been greatly improved.
This makes it difficult for him to associate the other party with the Jianbei Road incident.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of emotion for no reason. He turned his palm and thunder and lightning gathered in his palm, forming the shape of a golden armor.
It can be clearly found that the cracks on the Thunder Fire Golden Armor have been reduced a lot compared to before. The most important thing is that the charm on the Thunder Fire Golden Armor has become more vivid, and there is no longer the heavy twilight aura before.
At this moment, the thunder and fire golden armor was trembling slightly, and the thunder and lightning were entwining and stirring like dragons and snakes, seeming to be ready to release its power at any time.
"This is......"
Zhu Hong's expression changed slightly and he recalled some records about Thunder Fire Golden Armor.
According to legend, the Thunder Fire Golden Armor was forged by the palmer's power to connect with the Principle Seal, and possesses various powers of the divine martial arts lineage.
One of them is Shenwu Lingjue.
When the way of divine martial arts has been cultivated to an extremely high level, the physical body can communicate with the gods, and the intuition is extremely powerful, and you can detect any malice and crisis in advance.
It can detect all evil in the world and can cast down all demons in the world.
The Thunder Fire Golden Armor has also inherited this characteristic. In the history of the Red Heart Sect, the masters of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor have used this characteristic to escape disaster many times. However, as the Thunder Fire Golden Armor is damaged, many of the original abilities are lost.
disappear.
But now, the Thunder Fire Golden Armor has been partially repaired, and some abilities have been restored.
"The thunder and fire golden armor is restless, which heralds disaster and danger, but does this danger only belong to me, or will it involve the entire Red Heart Sect?"
Zhu Hong said to himself, the uneasiness in his heart getting more and more serious.
The incident on Jianbei Road, Zhao Xing's breakthrough in strength, Thunder Fire Golden Armor's early warning, and the current situation in Heqing Road...
The combination of various factors forced him to pay attention.
"It seems that a decision must be made."
Zhu Hong took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and asked the disciple guarding outside the door to call Qiu Qing over.
"Senior Brother, it's so late, why did you call me here?"
Not long after, Qiu Qing hurried over, his expression not very good.
It was already late at night, and if Zhu Hong called him over, it would most likely not be good news.
"Do you still remember the plan I told you not long ago?"
Zhu Hong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Qiu Qing's child shrank suddenly.
In order to deal with the most dangerous situation, Zhu Hong and Qiu Qing secretly formulated a plan. If the Red Heart Sect really suffered a disaster, then this plan would be launched.
This plan is to sacrifice a small part of the dispatched force as a cover, and allow some backbone forces to secretly leave and retain the fire.
It can be said that this is a plan of last resort.
"What on earth is going on?! Is this really the case?!"
Qiu Qing asked urgently.
"I can't tell exactly what happened. In short, you take action tonight. According to the plan list, notify the disciples and deacons to hide in the mountains and forests under the cover of night, and make plans tomorrow."
"Also, you should take this with you."
Zhu Hong said in a deep voice, and then he turned his palms, thunder and lightning gathered, and the thunder and fire golden armor condensed and took shape.
Moreover, it is not just the usual thunder and fire golden armor, but inside the thunder and fire golden armor, there is a dazzling golden thunder and lightning, which is the origin of the thunder and fire golden armor.
Are you even entrusting me with the Thunder Fire Golden Armor?!
Qiu Qing opened his mouth, his expression extremely complicated.
"There is no room for error in the Thunder Fire Golden Armor. In order to prevent me from encountering any unexpected events, you will be the master of the Golden Armor from now on."
Zhu Hong smiled and said to Qiu Qing.
"Senior brother, it's better for me to stay and hide with you."
Qiu Qing took a deep breath and said.
"This is impossible. I am the leader of the Red Heart Sect. If I am nowhere to be seen, how can Jackal Eagle Claw give up? Don't postpone it. There is no room for failure in important matters for the sect. This is my duty to you as the leader.
Order."
Zhu Hong said in a deep voice, and with a wave of his hand, he stamped his palm on Qiu Qing's chest with lightning speed.
Sizzle!
Electric light burst out, and the golden thunder and lightning in his palm poured into Qiu Qing's body, transferring the authority of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor.
For some reason, the solemn look on his face suddenly faded away, and a free and easy smile reappeared.
"Junior brother, if I die, the person holding the thunder and fire golden armor will be the leader of the sect. When I took over the thunder and fire golden armor from the old leader, I felt that it was so heavy that I had to be careful, like walking on thin ice, day and night.
I don’t know, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave this important responsibility to you from now on.”
"Actually, you are more suitable to be the leader than me. I am loose-minded by nature and not as steady and deep as you. Perhaps soon, we will encounter great changes and the fate of the school will be unpredictable. The pressure will be extremely huge. Now let's just think that my senior brother has shirked his responsibility.
"
Zhu Hong said with a smile.
Qiu Qing was silent and did not speak, but even though he was as calm and calm as he was, his eyes were already red at this time.
He knew that if the sect was really facing annihilation, this would be a helpless move. Even if he lost the Thunder Fire Golden Armor, Zhu Hong's strength would plummet, but as a treasure of the sect's inheritance, there was no room for error.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you."
The next moment, Zhu Hong stopped smiling and his expression became solemn again.
"You should know that the Thunder Fire Golden Armor has been continuously damaged in recent years and cannot be repaired. Its strength is getting worse day by day. But recently, the Thunder Fire Golden Armor has actually begun to repair itself and restored a lot of power. This is why I can detect it.
dangerous reasons."
"I have not disclosed this matter to anyone."
Zhu Hong said.
Hearing this, Qiu Qing had a look of astonishment on his face.
Thunder Fire Golden Armor is actually repairing itself?!
He knew very well what this meant. The decline of the Red Heart Sect was inseparably related to the damage to the Thunder Fire Golden Armor. The repair of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor probably meant that the Red Heart Sect could rise again!
Zhu Hong actually hid such important news from everyone?
"Senior brother, have you found a way to repair the Thunder Fire Golden Armor?"
Qiu Qing asked anxiously.
"No, actually, the repair of the Thunder Fire Golden Armor has nothing to do with me. The reason why this happened is all because of one person."
Zhu Hong said.
"one person?"
Qiu Qing's expression became more confused, but then he seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face changed uncertainly.
"This person is the mysterious disciple who appeared in the ghost city in the dream before, and his true identity is your disciple, Zhao Xing."
Zhu Hong said slowly.
"Zhao Xing? Is it really him?"
Hearing this name, Qiu Qing's expression became more complicated, as if he was unexpected and somewhat expected.
It was not that he had never doubted Zhao Xuanqi's identity, but Zhao Xuanqi had always been well hidden in front of him, without revealing any flaws, so he gradually eliminated it, but now that he thought about it, it was because of the clever methods of the other party.
"Where did this person come from? Could it be that he was the five hundred spiritual officials from the upper world who came down to earth?"
Qiu Qing couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know exactly where this person comes from. The magical powers he performs are not completely consistent with my spiritual official way. But what is certain is that this person has good intentions towards our True Heart Sect. As long as he can continue to
If it becomes stronger, it is possible for the Thunder Fire Golden Armor to be completely repaired with its luck."
"If our Red Heart Sect suffers a disaster, we will have to rely on this person to make a comeback. Remember this."
"Okay, now that it's already half way through the night, you should hurry up and get ready."
Zhu Hong said in a deep voice.
"Yes...senior brother."
Qiu Qing took a deep look at Zhu Hong, bowed, then opened the door without hesitation and left quickly.
Looking at Qiu Qing's leaving figure, Zhu Hong looked extremely complicated.
"Where will the fate of the Red Heart Sect go?"
...
...
the other side.
Within the path of life and death.
In three days, Zhao Xuanqi and Ling completed 70% of the distance.
The deeper you go into the core of the seal, the more serious the impact on your sense of time becomes. For the next 30% of the way, each action taken by Zhao Xuanqi and Ling takes more than twenty times the original time. If viewed from outside the sealing realm, the actions of the two at this time
It was extremely slow and looked very funny.
On top of that, the causal impacts also become more severe.
Originally, after taking ten steps, we took seven steps back. In the end, we took ten steps and took nine steps back.
Even when they arrived in front of the strange building that looked like a ghost lurking, even if the two of them resisted the influence of the law with all their strength, they still had to retreat more than nine and a half steps after taking ten steps. They could only rely on time and perseverance to smooth out this final gap.
stage.
The destination was right in front of them. In the past, the two of them could have reached the destination in an instant by just a few steps and flying over dozens of meters. But now, the distance of only a few feet took them two full days.
"finally reached."
Zhao Xuanqi took a deep breath. For five days, the high-intensity Yuan Qi output, coupled with the constant mental tension, made even him feel tired.
Now, the hideous and terrifying mouth of the evil spirit was right in front of the two of them. Similar to the Yizhuang they encountered before, the doorway was filled with thick and irreducible darkness, cutting off perception. Only by stepping inside could one understand the situation inside the building.
"I don't know what's going on inside. After entering, collect the merits as quickly as possible. If anything goes wrong, I will take you out of here immediately."
Ling said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xuanqi nodded, and then the two of them took steps at the same time and walked into the ferocious mouth.
Darkness swept across, and the two men's bodies tensed up, ready to attack, ready to face the enemy at any time.
However, the two people's senses recovered, but no danger occurred. On the contrary, the scene in front of them made them a little surprised.
This is a strange hall. The surrounding walls are uneven and have a black and red color. They don't look like they are made of bricks, but like they are made of solidified flesh and blood.
It was as if the building itself was a living body, and they were in the belly of the creature.
The two of them immediately understood that maybe this was the truth. Empress Hou Tu Wusheng had sealed some kind of evil ghost and suppressed it, turning it into a place to store merit.
The surrounding walls are covered with talisman papers, but these talisman papers have all faded and lost their power. If they were not made of extraordinary materials, they would have been turned into ashes over the years.
The seals set by the seven palm sealers are also affecting this place.
The most eye-catching thing is not the environment of this belly-like hall, but the things accumulated in the hall.
Golden and yellow, it releases fluorescence and is eye-catching.
In the center of the hall, pieces of ancient gold ingots were piled up into a hill, shining brightly.
For practitioners, yellow and white objects are just objects outside the body and do not enter the eyes of the Dharma, but the objects in front of them are different.
Although they are in the form of gold ingots, both Zhao Xuanqi and Ling can feel that these gold ingots are all cast based on the power of merit!
Empress Houtu Wusheng collected ghost money from all over the world, extracted a trace of merit contained in the ghost money, cast it into a gold ingot and stored it here for future use when she transcends this world!
For Zhao Xuanqi and Ling at this time, this is a huge number!
brush!
Both of them rushed forward without any hesitation, controlling their pace within ten steps. At the fastest speed, they used Yuan Qi to wrap up some of the gold ingots, smash them into pieces, and turn them into the purest power of merit, which was absorbed by themselves.
absorb.
However, just when they started to reap the fruits of this trip.
In the center of the seven pillars, in the damaged towering building, a figure stood like a sculpture in the middle of the hall.
With kind eyebrows and kind eyes, high hair crown and plain clothes, she is a typical statue of a female immortal.
The image of this statue is at least 80% similar to the statue of Yin Mother that Zhao Xuanqi had seen before!
At this moment, the vertical eyes between the statue's eyebrows turned slightly and looked in the direction of Zhao Xuanqi and Ling.
