Just when Dao Qiongcang landed on Void Island, he fell into the sight of the water ghost.
Not long after, a black shadow was outlined outside this majestic meeting hall belonging to the ten-member meeting group of the Holy Mountain Headquarters, transforming into a figure of a man in black that resembled a lake.
"There will be a report from another department urgently!"
The visitor's voice was slightly urgent, but his mood was stable.
No one is allowed to enter the Holy Hall except for the head of the six divisions.
Therefore, even if there is an emergency and the strict rules on the Guizhe Holy Mountain, they cannot be broken.
In the huge Holy Hall, there were only two people sitting on high-backed chairs of different heights beside the silver round table.
The first is Ai Cangsheng in a wheelchair made of mottled osmanthus wood. He has black hair shawl and stares like the moon, hiding his sharp edge. He has a black cloth covering his knees, a bow and arrow slung across his body, and is silent.
The first is a woman in a yellow skirt dressed in palace attire. She is dignified and elegant, with a green silk hairpin and jade tassels. Her body is ethereal and ethereal, and she is the spirit body of Jiuji Gui.
"Enter."
As soon as the soft female voice sounded, the man in black outside the hall immediately stood up and stepped into the Shenghuan Hall.
The vast hall was empty.
However, the two people sitting on the side of the round table, even if they didn't say anything, their momentum alone was enough to fill the hall.
When the man in black from another department saw the two saints, his heartbeat suddenly slowed down, as if a boulder had settled and he no longer panicked.
"I've met Lord Cangsheng! I've met the Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoys!"
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Yes, the Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoy." The man in black bowed before quickly reporting:
"According to intelligence from other departments, just now, a total of thirty-six branches of the Holy Temple distributed in the five regions of the mainland were attacked at the same time."
"The identity of the attackers in the twelve branches of the temple is still unknown. The attackers in the remaining twenty-four branches are from various dark forces. Tracing them from the source, they are more or less involved with the Holy Slaves."
"From this, the foreign department speculates that this attack was led by the Holy Slave and came from the eighth... from the hands of the Eight Masters."
The man in black finished the internal investigation results in just a few words, and then raised his eyes to look at the Second Saint.
If it were other forces on the mainland, they might not be able to recover after being attacked by such an attack for a long time. Who was the sudden attacker?
But the Yibu has the most comprehensive intelligence network on the mainland, combined with the various performances of these attacking forces in the past.
Not only did they quickly deduce the results, but they also clearly assigned some dark forces whose ownership was previously uncertain to the Saint Slave.
After that, you can uproot it!
The man in black knows that the time of the big shots is limited, so reports are presented based on results.
If the Second Sage asks about the specific process and details, he will continue to elaborate.
However, unexpectedly, the man in black did not see any unexpected expression on the Second Saint's face.
It was as if they knew these things very well.
The Eight Masters... Jiuji Gui's spiritual body turned to glance at Ai Cangsheng, with a smile in his beautiful eyes, "Here he comes."
coming?
The man in black was stunned.
Did you really know you were going to be attacked?
Yes, we have the Dao Palace Master, and the Dao Palace Master must have figured it out in advance...
"What's the specific distribution situation?" Jiujigui Lingbo saw that the face of the child who loved the people was slightly cold, so he didn't answer and looked back to ask again.
"Sixteen royal cities in the Eastern Region, eight major royal cities in the Central Region, six major ones in the Southern Region, three major ones in the Northern Region, and three major ones in the Western Region were all attacked at the same time!"
"They are all royal cities. It seems that they have been planned for a long time..."
"Yes, the four royal cities in the Central Region were attacked, and we have put down the chaos as soon as possible, but the remaining ones, especially those in the Eastern and Southern Regions, may not be able to calm down for a while."
"It's natural. The main force of the Saint Slaves is in the Eastern Region. The Sinful Territory in the Southern Region is inherently unstable. It's already great that you can pacify everything in the first place."
The man in black remained silent and did not respond.
He did not say it directly, but those who could not be calmed would probably be attacked at an extremely fast speed, and in the end even the branch halls would be destroyed.
The attack came too suddenly.
After this battle, I don’t know how many more casualties there will be.
Alas, when will this world usher in true peace?
"Pass the order of this palace to immediately mobilize the branch halls affiliated with the Holy Temple near the war, as well as the highest forces in the major royal cities and major areas to rush to the rescue. There must be no mistakes. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished."
Jiuji Gui Spirit Body could see the worry in the eyes of the child in black, and with a slender hand, the "Nine Sacrifice Order" turned into golden light and flew out.
The man in black stretched out his hand to take it and looked down.
This is a "God's Order" made of golden osmanthus wood and possessing the aura of the holy power of the Nine Sacrifice Gods.
Mobilizing the major forces with this order is like holding a semi-sage's mysterious decree. No one in the world dares to disobey it.
"yes!"
The man in black shouted loudly, holding the token and about to retreat.
"The order will be passed on to others, but you will stay here." Ai Cangsheng suddenly spoke up.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Under his big black hood, only one of his eyes, covered by a dark mask, suddenly lit up with a faint cyan light.
Soon, a black energy rose from his side, turning into an illusory ghost, and left the Shenghuan Hall with the order.
"What are your orders, Master Cangsheng?" The man in black spoke up.
The spirit body of Jiuji Gui glanced at the man in black in surprise, seeming to be impressed by his ability.
But he didn't say much, and then raised his eyes to look at Ai Cangsheng.
She only heard the kid from Dao Qiongcang say that there might be chaos in Holy God Continent, and it would most likely come from the Eight Masters.
But the specific details are unknown.
Children from Ai Cang Sheng often play with children from Dao Qiong Cang and want to know more.
In Guimu's wheelchair, Ai Cangsheng put his hands on the black cloth on his legs and said calmly:
"What's unusual about the Desert Ridge in the west, Banyuejue in the south, Tianmeng in the north, Shenyue Immortal City in the east, Mount Siling in the middle, the cross street corners of the city of the Dead Buddha, and the Dead Sea under the Holy Mountain?"
Seven in a row, such accurate reporting?
The man in black was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "I haven't received anything yet..."
"Don't wait, take the initiative to pay attention now."
"yes!"
The man in black trembled.
Even though Master Cangsheng's tone was calm, he still felt cold and cold in his heart.
This is not an existence that is easy to talk to as the Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoy, but it is also one of the ten thrones that he has admired for a long time.
If you give a wrong answer, you will lose your life.
The man in black made another hand seal and pointed his sword at the same time, the dark light flashing in his eyes again.
Soon, another ghost appeared.
The man in black opened his lips silently and muttered something, giving instructions.
The ghost swayed and disappeared.
"Master Yi..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he sent away the messenger ghost, and the man in black sighed deeply.
Originally, the one who was in his position now should be the leader of the Yi tribe.
Unfortunately, the first one was killed in the Yunlun Mountains, and now he can only face these two saints.
"May I have your name?"
Jiu Jigui glanced at the cold little boy Ai Cangsheng, and knew immediately that he didn't need to hold it anymore.
She turned around and took the initiative to break the ice, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "This is my first time seeing you."
"Reporting to the Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoy, my subordinate's code name is 'Xi'."
"Xi?" Jiujigui Spirit Body felt that the name seemed familiar, "Xi kid, what is your position in the foreign department?"
"Reporting to the Divine Envoy of the Nine Sacrifice, my subordinate used to be the deputy to Master Yi, the leader of the foreign department, and now he acts as the chief of the foreign department."
"Your Majesty? You don't seem to be very old, right?"
"Ti..."
"You don't have to be so restrained."
"Okay, Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoy! Report to the Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoy, this subordinate has just turned twenty this year."
"..." The red lips of Jiuji Guiling's body were slightly opened, and at the same time, amusement flashed in his eyes, and his expression became even more astonishing.
There is no doubt that "respect" and "humility" are engraved in this young man's bones.
This kid must have suffered a lot in his growing up experience...
But at the age of twenty, he is the first of the six generations!
"You are younger than Situ Yongren..." Jiuji Gui's spiritual body murmured softly, as if he saw a genius.
"I don't dare!" Xi Ke, the man in black, was startled, "I am only a temporary agent. I absolutely dare not compare myself with Lord Situ."
The Jiuji Gui spirit body took a deep look at the child and said nothing.
She also suddenly thought of it.
On the holy mountain of Guizhe, there are actually many talented people.
However, since the inheritance of the Holy Temple, the top positions have basically been filled, and they are all filled with a group of old and immortal monsters.
Once you sit down, it can be measured in dozens or hundreds of years.
Unless there is an unexpected incident, it is rarely updated.
Naturally, under the major official posts, generation after generation came and suppressed countless talents and hid them in unknown nooks and crannies.
These people are not weak.
But either because the background is not deep, or because there is someone above me, or because of lack of ability and other miscellaneous reasons, I am not able to get ahead.
Naturally, the light cannot be seen by the world.
For example, if Yu Tu had not visited the Guizhe Holy Mountain back then, if he had not become the previous master of the Holy Temple Hall with the Seven Swords Owl.
No one would have known that Dao Qiongcang, who was basically unknown before and only had a small title of Ten Lords, would be so outstanding.
As soon as he took office, he liberated all the brains of the Holy Temple and held the Holy Continent in the palm of his hand!
Now, is it true that the situation is not right?
As soon as the first seat of the foreign department fell, the top position became vacant and someone could fill it immediately.
But surprisingly...
There are many talented people from other departments, and there should be a lot of people who are older than Xi, have deeper backgrounds, and are more capable.
How could he, a twenty-year-old kid, be able to suppress the batches of geniuses above him and win the position of acting leader?
The Jiuji Gui spirit body knew about it.
Among the six parts, there are quite a few children, middle-aged friends, and grown-up friends who come from the five great saint emperor families for training!
At this time, Ai Cangsheng's attention seemed to be attracted by the age of the man in black.
He frowned and said solemnly: "Anbu, it seems that there is also a 'xi'..."
"What's Xi'? Does it have the same name?" Jiuji Gui's spirit body looked back.
"I don't know. An excellent killer in ANBU works under Ye Xiao."
"I've heard of his name, and it's because he performs tasks neatly and neatly. He has successfully assassinated Taixu many times and has never failed before."
"I heard that he also took over the task of investigating the Black Heart Fruit Tribe's Semi-Saint... He is also from the Three Sticks of Incense."
Ai Cangsheng's face moved slightly as he spoke and looked at Xi, the man in black.
The latter was unmoved and his eyes were unmoved, so he was probably not the same person.
Also, how is it possible at the age of twenty to be able to investigate a semi-saint Zang?
It must be an old relic gathering dust in the Anbu. It cannot be said that he is older than himself, but he is from the previous generation. It is possible that he is someone from the previous generation.
"The Black Heart Fruit Clan..."
"Is it the Southern Territory Half Saint whom Ban Yue Ju had contacted before?"
Jiujigui Spirit Body seemed to remember something, and murmured thoughtfully: "When you said that, I also remembered that there is such a person in the Anbu, Xi..."
She was straightforward and asked when she couldn't figure it out. She looked at the child in black standing in front of the threshold of the hall.
"Little guy, that Xi has the same name as you, do you recognize him?"
"know."
"Oh? What is his relationship with you?"
"He is me."
At this moment, Jiuji Gui's spirit body and Ai Cangsheng's expressions changed slightly.
Such a calm and matter-of-fact answer made the two of them almost think they had heard wrong.
"Is he you?" Jiujigui Spirit confirmed.
"I am the envoy of the Nine Sacrifice Gods," the man in black said again, sarcastically.
The two people at the silver round table looked at each other and saw the waves in each other's eyes.
This young man has something...
"Where is your position in the Anbu Department?" Jiuji Gui Lingti asked.
"Reporting to the Divine Envoy of the Nine Sacrifice, her subordinate serves as Lord Night Owl's deputy in the ANBU. Before leaving for the mission, she handed over the ANBU to her subordinate."
It's the deputy again... Jiuji Gui's spirit body opened its red lips and said directly: "Ye Xiao has been confirmed to have died."
There are jade tablets of the six heads left in the Holy Temple. Whether they survive or not can be known at a glance.
Not long ago, the jade tokens belonging to Teng Shanhai and Ye Xiao were shattered one after another.
But this news has not been spread yet.
"Yes."
The man in black laughed at the sound, with a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes, "So my subordinate's task is even heavier."
"So, in addition to the foreign department, you also serve as the acting head of the ANBU?"
"The envoy of the Nine Sacrifice Gods, yes."
"call……"
Jiujigui Spirit Body let out a soft chuckle, somewhat shocked.
Such a humble kid has so much ability!
If she hadn't asked, she would have thought she was just a casual messenger, which was too low-key.
Are all the children today so inconspicuous?
"You just sent the message, did you use ghost swordsmanship?" Ai Cangsheng said suddenly.
"Lord Cangsheng, yes."
"Are you an ancient sword cultivator?"
"Lord Cangsheng, yes."
"Who are you, Hua Changdeng?" Ai Cangsheng asked one after another, his eyes like arrows, almost piercing through the soul of the man in black.
Xi paused for a moment, his gaze remained the same as before, and he said calmly:
"Lord Cangsheng, this subordinate has no relationship with the Sword Saint of China."
The upper body of Jiuji Gui's spirit body, which was slightly leaning forward, slowly retracted.
She just heard what the kid Ai Cangsheng said, and she really thought that this kid Xi was a direct disciple of Hua Changdeng.
In this way, there is the best explanation for his disproportionate ability due to his age.
Now when I heard what little boy Xi said, I felt regretful and at the same time felt that this young man had a promising future.
Even more awesome!
Sitting on the Guimu wheelchair, Dudu Ai Cang Sheng looked deeply at the man in black and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
These words can deceive the Nine Sacrifice Divine Envoy, but how can they deceive him?
If others are not familiar with Huachang Deng, don’t they understand that he loves the common people?
The ancient sword cultivators are all extremely boring!
The humility and respect that were engraved in his bones from Xi could already be thought of how much suffering this boy had suffered under Hua Changdeng's sword.
Even if he thought about it, he could now imitate Hua Changdeng's tone and say something that that guy would definitely say:
"As far as your current achievements are concerned, you can't even compare with one of the fingers of the Eight Masters! When you leave the screen, don't say you are my disciple, otherwise you will be embarrassed."
I love the common people and don't expose it. I shake my head and lean back on the back of my wheelchair.
He looked up at the sky, and thoughts emerged in his eyes, as if he had already seen the sloppy ancient sword cultivator who clearly had the power to reach the sky under the broken willow lamp in the screen candle field, but chose to spend half his life ruining it.
No matter how far his eyes were, Ai Cangsheng seemed to have seen through Dao Qiongcang's plan.
"Tao Qiong Cang, Tao Qing Cang..."
Previously, Ai Cangsheng didn’t understand why so many people had to be sent to this game, one by one, even though they knew they would lose.
It's understandable to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Borrow the enemy's knife to kill one of your own, see you for the first time!
Now, I love the common people and understand.
The backlog has turned to dust and the potential has been exhausted if the leaders are not cleared away.
Buried underneath, the outstanding young man will never see the light of day.
Those huge resources, if given to Teng Shanhai, Yi and others, would only achieve limited results.
After all, their future can be seen at a glance.
But if it is given to the following young people, the future is bright!
Just looking at His Majesty Shenghuan, the young man Xi, with his eyes that love the common people, it seems that he has already seen the talent that is about to burst out of the Holy Temple.
He understood that the size of the Holy Temple was too large, and if it was left lying there for too long, it would be like an old tree drooping and unable to lift its crown.
And now, Dao Qiongcang is going to make a big move!
What he wants is to cut off those old and dead branches so that this old tree can glow with new spring!
"There are unpredictable gods and ghosts in the sky... Oh, it has to be you!"
When I love the common people and my heart sighs.
The man in black in front of the palace suddenly moved, and the dark sword in his eyes under the mask condensed.
A ghost appeared behind him, melted into his body, and saluted:
"Lord Cangsheng and the envoy of the Nine Sacrifice, we have information."
