By the time the master and apprentice finished their conversation and returned, Elder Kaiyang had already packed up Ling Wujue's bones, covered them with cloth and silk, and put them into the storage artifact.
The true successor of the Dinghu Sect is thus missing one person.
Elder Kaiyang has regained his composure on the surface, but his tense face still shows the depression in his heart.
"Sister Tianxuan, please help me find the murderer." Elder Kaiyang looked at Tianxuan and said sincerely.
This naturally requires Tianxuan to help calculate and deduce the murderer.
"I have already calculated it," Tianxuan said. "The murderer did not leave any traces. Even the cause and effect and secrets were covered up. He hid himself very well, and I cannot account for the result."
"Demon God Cult?" Elder Kaiyang muttered in a low voice.
Basically, when it comes to being unable to calculate, people will think of the Demon God Cult. Due to the manipulations of a certain powerful person, it can be said that everyone in the Demon God Cult has their own secrets to hide. If you want to occupy their place and location, you must first go through this.
The level of the most powerful person.
"This shit stirrup!" Elder Kaiyang couldn't help but scold this powerful man.
Elder Kaiyang actually also doubts the Demon God Cult.
There is no way, who is the Demon God Sect who is the easiest person to do this? It is not without reason that the Demon God Church has become the scapegoat. Any events that cannot be found out or accounted for can be blamed on the Demon God Sect, and even
The Demon God Sect is also willing to admit it.
However, there should be other mysteries behind this matter. Even if the person who takes action is a member of the Demon God Sect, there may not be someone else behind it. The key is the motive.
'And this motive will come soon.' Jiang Li thought quietly.
Regarding Ling Wujue's death, there is actually a clue, and that is how Ling Wujue knew about Jiang Li's situation and took action against him.
'Yun Jiuye should also be suspicious of the source of this news. He will definitely want to investigate. However, with his scheming mind, he will not investigate it himself. Instead, he will find a way to let Elder Kaiyang investigate.'
Jiang Li had a clear understanding of the situation and was able to predict the next change.
He only needs to wait silently until Elder Kaiyang traces He Luo Shen, and then takes advantage of the situation to take action to eliminate He Luo Shen as his target.
At this time, two qi machines flew from the sky, and immediately two divine lights fell down. The solemn and sacred aura represented the identity of the divine path, and it was still the fifth grade.
Just like the fifth-level Immortal Dao Fruit has the magical power to soar into the clouds and ride in the mist, the fifth-grade Divine Dao Fruit also basically has the magical power to fly into the sky, and its flying characteristics are quite obvious.
The two divine lights fell on the water, revealing two burly figures. Both had broad faces and looked like rough men, wearing brown armor and black boots. One of them held a mixed copper pestle in his left hand.
, the other person is holding a fine iron magic pestle in his right hand, one on the left and one on the right, like a reflection in a mirror, quite symmetrical.
"Ren Hai (Tang He), a guest of the Prince of Shu's palace, has met you all."
The two iron tower-like figures saluted together and said in unison: "On the order of the King of Shu, I and I invite you to go to the palace to discuss important matters."
"It seems that the emperor can't wait any longer."
Tianxuan saw this and said lightly, "Lead the way."
Everyone flew in the air and followed the two retainers of the Shu Prince's Mansion to the county town.
······
······
As a fourth-grade prince, he is responsible for guarding the water supply of Shu County. The status of the King of Shu is so high that he is among the best among the kings. Even the governor of Liangzhou dare not disrespect him in the slightest.
However, the king of Shu with such a status lived in Mingde Street, which was not very lively in the county. Although the palace was majestic and had the appearance of a royal family, if the royal regulations of the hilly corners and double eaves and arches were excluded, the palace would not look like this.
It looks no different from ordinary wealthy families.
Ren Hai and Tang He led Tianxuan and Jiang Li into the palace and went straight into the front hall. In the huge hall, there were two rows of square chairs, and between the chairs were small square tables with tea.
.
It's just that everyone present here is not in the mood to drink tea, and their expressions are solemn.
In the upper position, there are two Taishi chairs side by side. On one of them sits the King of Shu with a high crown and a majestic look, while the other one is empty.
On the left and right, sitting in front of the fourth rank, Taoist Shenhou from Yuxu Temple and Taoist Wenxu from the Taoism Sect were prominently listed. There was also an old man in a blue robe, also sitting in the front, opposite to the fourth rank.
But his own realm should not have reached the fourth level.
This should be the governor of Liangzhou.
Jiang Li also saw Zhang Daoyi and the Yuxuguan disciple who wanted to subdue the demon. They were all sitting at the bottom.
Apart from the Taiping Sect and Kunxu Immortal Palace, only the Dragon Slaying Taoist from Yuxu Temple did not appear.
After Ren and Tang led the way, they took the initiative to go to the hall door and stood on the left and right, like two door gods. The two elders went to sit on the empty square chairs in front. Elder Tianpeng shrank in size as he walked, and in the blink of an eye
He became taller than a normal person, and his face with a curly beard looked a little more elegant.
Yun Jiuye also sat down on a square chair near the front.
He has entered the fifth rank, and he is still the true successor of the leader. In terms of status, he is close to the fourth rank, and the position vacated for him is ahead of Zhang Daoyi and others.
Under the cloudy night, there was still an empty chair, which should have been prepared for Jiang Li.
However, Tianxuan just glanced at it and said: "Disciple, you sit in front. You are the leader of the Jiang family, and you are ranked among the three nobles. You will go to war later, so you should be at the forefront."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present fluctuated.
He bluntly asked Jiang Li to fight because he believed that Jiang Li's strength was still higher than Yun Jiuye.
When it comes to "Lord of the Jiang Family", it requires the endorsement of the King of Shu and the Governor of Liangzhou to support Jiang Li in obtaining the treatment that the head of the Jiang Family deserves, such as the position of the Three Dukes and the three-piece set of powerful ministers.
This point had been raised before in the capital of the gods, but was temporarily shelved by the clan and the courtiers. Now it was brought up again. Apparently Tianxuan thought that the time had come and it was time to push Jiang Li forward.
The governor of Liangzhou looked serious but remained silent. The King of Shu pondered for a while, looked at Jiang Li and said, "What does the Master of the Gongsun family mean, that Young Master Jiang has been promoted to the fifth rank?"
Although the witnesses had already made some guesses when Jiang Li broke through the catastrophe, after actually seeing it, they still felt a little unsure.
too fast.
Yun Jiuye will be the first among his peers to be promoted because he has the master Tianjun Gongsunqi, and he has practiced cultivation since he was a child, laying a foundation for it. Although he only started to enter the ninth level when he was a teenager,
He had laid the foundation for ten years before. What does Jiang Li have?
Although after he became a disciple of Tianxuan, he was treated as well as anyone else, but before that, he relied entirely on listening to lectures given by the elders of the outer sect and studying on his own.
Such a speed of improvement is so shocking that one can't help but wonder whether Jiang Li has been promoted blindly without laying a solid foundation in each realm.
"I experienced some tribulations before and gained some enlightenment, which enabled me to perfect my Dao Fruit, and then I was lucky enough to be promoted." Jiang Li said very modestly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's thoughts were mixed. Even Yun Jiuye, who had been basically confirmed before, was also a little frightened.
He remembered what He Luo Shen said that day, if Jiang Li reaches the fifth rank, he will be invincible.
When the King of Shu heard the words, the color of thick earth appeared in his eyes, his pupils were faintly stretched into a vertical shape, majestic like a dragon, and the invisible power spread immediately, rushing towards Jiang Li like an undercurrent.
Jiang Li only felt that his body was heavy, like a mountain sinking on his shoulders. It was extremely thick, but when he looked around, he found that the others were no different, as if the power did not exist.
'Only for me...'
Jiang Li had a profound insight, and immediately his body relaxed and his shoulders shook.
The King of Shu felt that his own momentum was like a hollow space, falling instantly, but he was hit by an incomparable force on the side, pushing away the mountainous momentum.
I saw two earth-yellow streams of light flashing around Jiang Li, and there was a sudden shock, and I could vaguely feel the heavy force.
"It is indeed the fifth grade,"
The King of Shu had a thought, and the light disappeared, and then he praised: "The foundation is so strong that it is unbelievable. Head of the Gongsun family, if Jiang Li goes to war, I am willing to go to the court and grant the title of Third Duke."
Although the Golden Embankment will not be considered destroyed as long as the final Tianhe Pass is not broken, if we can save the other two embankments, we should still try our best to preserve them.
The Yuzui diversion and the water opening divert and release the flood. With these two dams, the pressure on Tianhe Pass can be greatly reduced.
The King of Shu would not think that Wuzhiqi would give up if only Tianhe Pass was left. Even if Wuzhiqi gave up, Dragon Palace and the Taiping Sect would not. So after seeing Jiang Li's foundation and his willingness to fight,
The King of Shu immediately agreed to the promise and endorsed Jiang Li.
But when the Liangzhou governor saw this, he objected: "Even though he has a strong foundation, he is still entering the fifth rank for the first time. Your lord, I think it is a safe strategy to send a monk who has completed the fifth rank to take action."
"Pindao also thinks it's inappropriate," Taoist Wenxu then said, "Although young people have extraordinary talents, when it comes to cultivation and fighting experience, they may not be as good as those who entered the fifth level early. If they want to go into battle, they still have to
You need to be careful. I think it is better to let those who can take action discuss it and choose the strongest one to fight. This is the best choice."
The man put on a smile and glanced at everyone present, pausing especially at Jiang Li and other younger generations, "What do you think?"
"I agree." Liangzhou Governor was the first to add a postscript.
The King of Shu also looked thoughtful, then nodded and said: "This is indeed a choice."
