After thinking about it all night, Luo Guan finally gave up the plan of leaving.
Of course, this is definitely not for the Xu family, but because he is not sure whether he is a member of the Ji Yue clan...
Let's face it, he didn't know this name until 18,000 years after the demise of Ji Yuezong.
But that doesn't matter, he passed through the Ascension Gate and came to the Tianzhu Left-hand Star Region. Who knows if he was involved in it.
It gives me a headache!
But in this matter, you must be prepared for the worst.
Once again, Zhou Jintai was summoned by the Lord. He rushed over immediately and saluted respectfully, "My subordinates pay homage to the Lord!" He took out a jade slip and offered it with both hands, "In a hurry, I only collected these information, please also ask
Sir, please don’t blame me.”
Oops!
Lao Zhou was very efficient. Luo Guan accepted the jade slip and praised him sincerely, "Jintai's work is really reassuring."
Zhou Jintai was overjoyed and flattered, "To serve your lord, I should do my best! I wonder if your lord has called me here today. What are your orders?"
Luo Guan pondered for a moment and said, "You mentioned yesterday that the Ji Yue Shen Sect monk who was arrested, do you know where he is being held now?"
Zhou Jintai secretly thought that it was indeed the case. This was the only thing that could attract your attention. He said calmly, "Sir, this disciple of Ji Yue is now in the hands of Xinghou. And Xinghou, I and others are
The Divine General is directly under the control of the upper peak, and there are nearly a hundred cultivation stars in the inner periphery of the Moon Ring Star, all controlled by Lord Xinghou."
Luo Guan's heart sank. Damn it, he was actually right next to him. If this person was really possessed, he and the Xu family would definitely be the first to be unlucky.
After a slight silence, he said, "This is a bit unreasonable... Given the importance the imperial court places on Ji Yue's disciples, after capturing a key Ji Yue Divine Sect monk, he was only handed over to the custody of a Xinghou?"
'The Star Marquis is already very strong, okay? Only those who are the best in the Divine Marquis realm and have made great contributions to the dynasty can obtain this title and get a cultivation star as their own fiefdom.'
But to adults, it seems normal that Xinghou is just mediocre. Zhou Jintai said, "My subordinates have also considered this...perhaps this is a trap to trap other Ji Yue Sect monks."
Seeing Luo Guan's view, Zhou Jintai hesitated and continued, "Actually, under normal circumstances, catching that Ji Yue Shen Sect monk would have completely eradicated all the Ji Yue Sect members. But facts have proven that although the dynasty has gained a lot
, but there are still some Ji Yuemen who continue to hide. Therefore, the dynasty suspects that there are powerful Shenzong people hiding in the Ji Yue Sect, blocking the lock on the Ji Yuemen during the burning soul... Of course, all of this is suspicion, subordinate.
I’m not sure.”
Luo Guan believes that Zhou Jintai's suspicion is reasonable, and Xinghou Guan
The arrest of this Jiyue Divine Sect monk might really be a trap. Thinking of this, he felt even worse. One Divine Lord was terrifying enough, not to mention how many powerful men from the dynasty were hidden secretly!
But then he thought about it again, did it make any difference to him whether he was a god lord or someone above the god lord? As long as he took action, he would die.
After calming down, there are only two options in front of him. One is to shut up the Ji Yue Shen Sect monk, and the other is to find the hidden strong man from the Ji Yue Shen Sect and be protected by him.
In difficulty.
But the second way was abandoned after just a brief thought. The other party was pursued by the three dynasties, but was never exposed. It was just a dream to find the other party in a short time.
The first road is also very difficult, but it is the only choice, not to mention that the dynasty intends to spread the word. After experiencing the heavy loss of Shenzong monks to burning souls, even if Ji Yue's disciples guessed that it was a trap, they would probably give it a try.
.
Fishing in troubled waters!
Luo Guan didn't want to save people. There were many ways to "shut up", and in this world, only the dead can always keep secrets.
With his mind determined, Luo Guandao said, "Jintai, as you know, when will the Ji Yue Shen Sect monk's soul be ignited?"
Zhou Jintai said, "Sir, the Shenzong monk is a high-ranking member of Ji Yue and knows many secrets. The imperial court will definitely try its best to try to open his mouth. In the end, there is really no use value, so they will ignite his soul and hunt down Ji Yue's disciples.
Based on my subordinate’s understanding of the dynasty’s criminal law methods, this person should still be alive within a month.”
call--
Fortunately, there is still some time. If Xinghou directly starts to burn the soul, Luo Guan will not be able to do anything he wants to do.
He stopped covering up and said in a deep voice, "Jintai, I want to see this Jiyue Divine Sect monk before I burn my soul. Do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Jintai's face changed slightly. His Excellency has indeed had thoughts about Ji Yuezong. Ji Yue Mountain Gate, which is buried deep in the black hole, is rumored to be coveted by the Imperial Realm. Anyone who is qualified to intervene, who doesn't want a share of the pie? But this matter
The risk is very high. Once discovered by the imperial court, you may be able to escape, but he will never be spared.
Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't dare to deceive you. The fact that my subordinate was seriously injured by Ji Yue Shen Sect monks and was about to die should be attributed to Lord Xinghou's handiwork... Well, maybe Xinghou doesn't want a third person to appear under his rule.
The two divine princes...or...maybe...have some relationship with the subordinate's family background...In short, there is already a rift between the subordinate and the star princes, and they may not be able to find an opportunity."
Luo
Guan said in a deep voice, "The sooner this matter is done, the better. Jintai will try his best. If you can handle it properly, I will definitely reward you."
What's the state of appreciating the gods? I'm afraid that even if you take this life, the other party won't look down on you. But at this time, you have to speak clearly and draw the cake perfectly, otherwise why should others do things for you?
Zhou Jintai bowed, "Yes, sir, I will do my best!" After saluting, he hurried away with a worried look on his face.
Zhou Shijia was waiting outside. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly said, "Dad, what does your adoptive father want from you?"
Zhou Jintai looked solemn and said in a low voice, "My lord, I hope that my father can find a way to let him see the captured Ji Yue Shen Sect monk as soon as possible."
"What?" Zhou Shijia's face changed slightly, "Dad, how could your lord think of meddling in this matter... This is a big trouble. Once it is contaminated... Hiss - Dad, tell me, lord, he should not, it is with Ji Yue...
…” .??.
"Shut up!" Zhou Jintai scolded angrily, his face turned livid, "You're really getting more and more presumptuous with your talk!"
Zhou Shijia shrank his head, feeling frightened for a while. He glanced at where the adults were, but fortunately there was no movement, so he felt a little relieved, "Father, please calm down, it's your son who made a mistake... But this matter is really difficult to handle!"
"
Zhou Jintai had no expression on his face, thought for a few moments, and said, "Master Xinghou sent me a message to make up for Yue Huanxing's tribute to the dynasty within a year. I just happened to take this opportunity to go to Xinghou Mansion... By the way,
Let’s see if there is a chance to fulfill your master’s instructions.”
"You stay in the Xu family and don't cause trouble, do you hear me?"
Zhou Shijia nodded quickly.
Swish——
Zhou Jintai rose into the sky and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Watching him leave, Zhou Shijia turned around and left. After returning to his residence, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead... Just now his father just scolded him for "talking without restraint" without explaining. Doesn't it mean that he also has suspicions in his heart?
?
hiss--
This, what should I do? Thinking of the previous rumors about Xu being Ji Yue's disciple, he took advantage of the situation. Originally he only wanted to eat fat, but by chance, he really found the right master? Or was it Ji Yue Zongzhong,
Hidden big shot?!
Thinking of this, Zhou Shijia's expression changed, and finally he smiled bitterly.
Not to mention, this is just a guess, but even if it is true, do the father and son have any choice? One worships his adoptive father, and the other takes him as his master. The father and son have already been tied to the adults.
If something really happened, without anyone else taking action, Xinghou and the master's family would definitely kill them as soon as possible! The father's pursuit of Ji Yueyu...the disciple was actually set up. After he asked about it, he was worried.
shock
Very angry.
He didn't understand why the master would do this. Although Zhou Jintai didn't say it clearly, Xinghou would never dare to take action without the master's nod. So what did Lao Deng hide from him? He actually caused the master a lot of trouble.
Kill him too.
On the other side, Xu Ningyi, who was always listening, showed a bit of worry on his face, "Sir, Zhou Jintai has always been thoughtful and cunning like a fox. If you say this, I'm afraid he will become suspicious."
Luo Guan looked calm, "So what if I'm suspicious? Zhou Jintai is a smart man. He should know that he has no choice."
Before, he took the initiative to mention Xing Hou and his master's family affairs, which was a subtle expression of his attitude. This man was indeed extremely smart. Moreover, at this time, Zhou Jintai left alone and left Zhou Shijia behind. This was also a way of expressing his attitude.
But everything must be prepared with both hands. Zhou Jintai may not be able to gain anything if he goes here. Luo Guan thought for a while and said, "Xu Ningyi, your Xu family is a disciple of Ji Yue. Don't you have the means to contact Ji Yue Sect?"
'What do you mean by what you said, the Xu family is a disciple of Ji Yue? We are all, sir. You might be an ancestor of the Ji Yue sect.'
We are a family!
Xu Ningyi said respectfully, "Sir, in Xu's hands, there is indeed a Jiyue Token that was given along with the stone tablet back then, but this thing has never seen any movement since 30,000 years ago... Ahem, say
Not sure, it has been abandoned a long time ago."
Luo Guan's eyes lit up, "Where is the token? Go get it quickly!"
Having a token is at least a hope. What if he can get in touch? Moreover, he has prepared for the worst. If Zhou Jintai fails, he will try to do something. Maybe he can meet the real disciple of Ji Yue then.
, the token in hand may be useful.
Xu Ningyi's face turned bitter and hesitant.
"Huh? Lost the token?!"
"No! No! Please wait a moment, sir!" Xu Ningyi gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, saluted, turned around and left.
A moment later, the Xu family cemetery.
Xu Ningyi stood in front of a huge stone tablet, "Old ancestor, future generations of Ningyi are unfilial and will disturb your peace today."
After saying that, he hid his face and stepped back, giving the order, "Get started, dig!"
When Luo Guan got the token, he also heard about it and was speechless for a while. However, thinking about the situation of the Ji Yue clan, he could also understand Xu's difficulties.
But when I think about the origin of this thing——
Huh!
No wonder it smells bad.
Alas, I always feel that this thing is not very auspicious... Just keep it for now. Xu Ningyi dug up his ancestral grave and brought it to him, so he can't let go of it, right?!
