The periphery was completely sealed off, and almost all the casual cultivators gathered in the east area of the city, which was dozens of miles away. Under the blockade of the Immortal Capital, there was no chance of escape.
Amid the complaints, all the casual cultivators, whether willing or not, were driven back to Tai'a City.
Ling Su and his daughter could not escape, and were driven back to Tai'a City.
However, since one of them is of different ages and the other is a woman, the suspicion can be easily ruled out. Jiang Chen is not worried about them.
After returning to Tai'a City, Tai'a City's defense and inspections were obviously much stricter. It was easy for people from the outside to get in. After entering, if you want to get out, you have to go through layers of inspections.
The people of Immortal Capital obviously did not give up the search for Jiang Chen.
Especially after the farce just now, Gong Wuji was even more sure that Jiang Chen must have entered Tai'a City.
Moreover, it is very likely that he was among the more than a thousand casual cultivators just now.
Otherwise, how could the fake news appear just now?
That fake news was obviously a cover for Jiang Chen, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cover up Jiang Chen's escape.
Therefore, after that incident, the interrogation became even stricter.
While conducting an investigation, I suddenly heard another commotion in front of me, followed by an angry shout: "Immortal Tiandu is doing business, and there are other people waiting, get out of here!"
Immediately, a voice that was neither yin nor yang said lightly: "Tsk tsk, if I remember correctly, this is not the territory of your Immortal Heavenly Capital, right? Why, my people from the Nine Suns Celestial Sect are here, do they have to pass by your Immortal Capital?
Does God allow it?"
Jiuyang Tianzong?
There was a commotion among the crowd, who were all stunned by this sudden conflict.
A first-grade sect is already very scary in the central area of Jiantian. The appearance of two teams of first-grade sects at the same time makes it even more bizarre.
Jiang Chen was in the crowd and was shocked when he saw this conflict. He slowly pushed his way forward and observed calmly.
There were actually quite a lot of people on both sides of the conflict.
There were actually hundreds of disciples from the Nine Yang Celestial Sect and hundreds of disciples from the Immortal Celestial Capital, each standing on one side, like two fighting bulls, forming a confrontation.
"The people from Jiuyang Tianzong are also here?" Jiang Chen was surprised, but also overjoyed. He knew that the Jiuyang Tianzong's coming here probably had something to do with him.
However, now that things have happened, he has too many lice and is not afraid of itching. Offending an Immortal Celestial Capital is also an offence, and adding a Nine-Yang Celestial Sect to him is nothing.
Anyway, the feud with Jiuyang Tianzong was forged early on.
However, Jiang Chen's heart was moved when he saw the indestructible Tiandu and Jiuyang Tianzong's equally powerful postures. It seemed that there was no harmony between these two first-grade sects, and there was even a tendency to be incompatible with each other.
Jiang Chen thought about it carefully and understood.
These two sects hunted Emperor Feiyu together back then. Although there was some cooperation between them, they were more of a competitive relationship.
It is not unusual for two first-grade sects to be at odds with each other for the sake of inheriting the ancient heavenly powerhouse.
Looking at their posture, it was obvious that Nine Suns Heavenly Sect deliberately came to demolish the Immortal Capital. For a moment, Jiang Chen secretly encouraged them.
"Dog bites dog, it's a mouthful of hair. It's better to bite harder and bite harder."
Jiang Chen didn't have any favorable impressions of these two sects. On the contrary, he had endless disgust and overwhelming hatred.
The Immortal Tiandu is certainly insidious, but the Jiuyang Tianzong is not a good person either. The national jade seal and the Zhenguo Dragon Seal are fake news created by the Jiuyang Tianzong. This trick is nothing more than an attempt to attract the Red Cauldron Central Region.
To deal with the Wanxiang Territory, to put it bluntly, it is killing someone with a borrowed knife.
However, the Immortal Heavenly Capital is more insidious. They have used their tricks to control the Red Cauldron Central Territory. In this way, the Immortal Heavenly Capital has a superior move and can control the situation.
On the contrary, Jiuyang Tianzong did not interfere in the affairs of the Vientiane Territory.
When Gong Wuji heard the commotion here, he strode up and stared coldly at Jiuyang Tianzong: "Why, you Jiuyang Tianzong are so tyrannical and want to run wild on other people's territory?"
A strong man in the middle stage of the Imperial Realm from Jiuyang Tianzong also came up and laughed: "Prince Gong, I don't understand what you are saying. Why is Jiuyang Tianzong so tyrannical? Are you Immortal Heavenly Masters all good men and women?
If I remember correctly, you are the ones who went to the Wanxiang Territory to run wild, right? Besides, this is the Jiantian Middle Territory, not your Immortal Heavenly Capital’s territory? Why can’t we, the Nine Yang Celestial Sect, come?”
These words were both a gun and a stick, obviously not showing any mercy to Gong Wuji. Instead, they were mocking him for going wild in the territory of Wanxiang and losing the life of his beloved grandson.
When Gong Wuji heard this, his face darkened and turned purple. He stared at the powerful man of Jiuyang Tianzong: "Elder Hao, are you determined to rebel?"
Elder Hao smiled and said, "Prince Gong, you are overthinking. Your Nine Suns Celestial Sect has also followed its enemies here, so why are you singing the opposite tune?"
"What enemy is your Jiuyang Tianzong tracking?" Gong Wuji asked angrily.
"Several disciples of my Jiuyang Tianzong are missing, and all clues point to the Wanxiang Territory. Now the Wanxiang Territory has been destroyed by you. Not even a ghost can be found. I heard that you have captured the palace master of Danqian Palace.
, maybe it can attract a few remnants of the Jiuyang Tianzong. Just capture a few of them for interrogation." Elder Hao's voice was indifferent, "Okay, I have said what needs to be said, King Gong, I, the Jiuyang Tianzong, act.
It’s not your turn from the Immortal Heaven to point fingers.”
Gong Wuji was originally furious, but after hearing what Elder Hao said, he calmed down.
To say that Jiuyang Tianzong publicly sang the opposite just to make things difficult for him, the Immortal Heaven, is obviously not in line with common sense.
Could it be that...the Jiuyang Tianzong's investigation has uncovered any new clues related to Emperor Feiyu?
Not everyone knows about Emperor Feiyu's affairs, even in the Immortal Tiandu and Jiuyang Celestial Sect. Except for the high-level officials involved in these matters, not many people know about it.
Gong Wuji is the Dharma King of the Immortal Capital and one of the presiding officers, so he is naturally familiar with this matter. In fact, their ultimate goal in controlling the Red Cauldron Central Region is to track down the whereabouts of Emperor Feiyu.
As for the current quarrel with Danqian Palace and the bounty offered to hunt down Jiang Chen, it is because of the subsequent grievances caused by these things.
"Elder Hao, if that's the case, now that we are searching for enemies in the Immortal Heavenly Capital, why are you, the Nine Sun Celestial Sect, interfering with you?" Gong Wuji knew that the matter was complicated, but he suppressed his anger.
"We are just watching, so why do we want to interfere?" Elder Hao smiled faintly.
Jiang Chen saw the two sects quarreling and quarreling with each other, and they were getting very tense, and suddenly an idea came into his mind.
He quietly retreated from the crowd. At this time, no one paid attention to him. Jiang Chen walked to a hidden corner, and after a while, he changed his clothes and walked out.
This time, he did not go to the conflict area where the two sects were confronting each other. Instead, he walked to the city gate and raised his hand to a disciple of the Immortal Heavenly Capital: "Senior brother, please be polite."
The disciple of the Immortal Heaven Sect glanced at him and saw that he was dressed as a disciple of the sect and seemed to be from the Red Cauldron Empire in the Central Region of Scarlet Cauldron.
"Huh? What's the matter with you?" The Immortal Heavenly Sect is a first-grade sect, so it naturally has a sense of psychological superiority towards the people in the Red Cauldron Central Region.
"Senior brother, I have been entrusted by the Red Cauldron royal family to return something important to Mr. Gong. This thing was forgotten by Mr. Gong at the royal house last time and was not brought back. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to send it all the way, fearing that the Dharma King
Your Excellency wants to use it. But there seems to be a conflict there, and we, the lower-level sect disciples, can’t get in. So, I would like to ask this senior brother for a favor, and be sure to return this thing to Master Gong Wuji in person."
"That's it?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother. Please make it clear to Mr. Gong in person. Please." Jiang Chen said, taking out a sword and offering it with both hands.
The disciple took it, looked at it, and praised: "It's a good sword."
"Master Gong's sword must be a good sword. Please send it to me as soon as possible, senior brother. It seems that there is going to be a big conflict over there. Maybe, once the conflict breaks out, Master Gong will need to use it."
When the disciple of the Immortal Heaven Sect heard this, he was moved in his heart and nodded: "In that case, thank you for your hard work. I'll help you with this matter."
"Thank you, please give my regards to Your Majesty the Emperor on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor." Jiang Chen nodded and bowed, and as he walked away, he did not forget to look back and wave.
The disciples of the Immortal Heaven Sect do not dare to neglect it. This sword is indeed a good sword, and there is no conspiracy. The disciples of the Immortal Heaven Sect do not doubt it.
Taking this sword, he walked towards the core area, and he was very happy to accept this job. After all, it is also a good thing to show his face in front of Lord Gong.
What's more, he can personally deliver Lord Gong's weapons to Lord Gong. How can he make Lord Gong appreciate him a little bit?
Feeling happy in his heart, this disciple squeezed into the crowd, but his journey was smooth, and he soon arrived in front of Mr. Gong.
"Your Majesty the Dharma King." This disciple said respectfully.
Gong Wuji glanced at this man and thought, you are a low-level disciple, why are you joining in the fun at this time? And you are running in front of me?
But since he was a disciple of his own, he couldn't scold him, so he snorted lightly as an answer.
This disciple also didn’t take it seriously. What kind of status is His Holiness His Holiness? It’s normal to be a little arrogant. When he returned the sword to him, His Holiness His Holiness would be happy.
"Your Majesty, the King of Dharma, it's like this. Last time you forgot a sword in the Red Cauldron Empire, His Majesty the Red Cauldron Emperor sent someone to deliver it to you. Please collect it."
With that said, the disciple handed over the sword with both hands and sent it to Gong Wuji.
Gong Wuji was confused, thinking when did I leave the sword in the Red Cauldron Empire? But with a glance, he noticed the extraordinary nature of this sword.
Then he thought in his mind that the Red Cauldron Emperor must have felt sorry for him, so he tried every means to find such a sword and give it to him as an apology?
His consciousness swept the sword, and he didn't notice any conspiracy. He nodded lightly, took the sword in his hand, and nodded: "I understand, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhao Neng." The disciple said hurriedly with great joy.
"Zhao Neng, I have remembered it. You can go down first." Although Gong Wuji found this little episode a bit baffling, he didn't say anything.
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with this sword. Since it was sent, why not accept it? After all, it is a genuine imperial weapon.
When Zhao Neng heard what Gong Wuji said, he went happily.
Gong Wuji also grabbed the sword and planned to put it in his pocket.
At this moment, the expression of Elder Hao on the opposite side suddenly changed, and he stared directly at the sword: "Wait a minute!"
