When the guards around the palace saw these people, they all showed respectful expressions. These people were worshiped as immortals by the Jiang royal family. In their eyes, they were all people with great supernatural powers, and the official positions they had been given were also extremely prominent.
Although the Jiang royal family is also a family of monks, the emperor who sits on the throne has always been a mortal child without magic power. The real controllers of the royal family, that is, the high-ranking monks of the family, are mostly hidden behind the scenes.
Will not show up easily.
The royal ministers were specially sent by the clan to protect the imperial power.
This is also the practice of all mortal countries on the Zhongtian Continent. No one knows why, but there are also rumors that once a monk sits on the throne, the country's luck will gradually decrease.
The theory of luck has always been elusive and unpredictable, but even the major sects that control Zhongtian Continent are rumored to have always attached great importance to it, let alone ordinary monk families.
At the same time, outside Nanlu City, a ray of light pierced the sky and fell into a dense forest far outside the city. It flickered for a few times and then disappeared.
Then, two figures quickly emerged from the dense forest and sped towards Nanlu City.
Not long after, two figures landed silently on an unattended city wall in Nanlu City, and looked inside. It was Liu Ming and Xie'er.
"This is Nanlu City, huh? It's so late, why is it still so lively over there?" Xie'er glanced into the city for a few times, then suddenly looked in the direction of the brightly lit palace.
"That side should be in the direction of the imperial palace in Nanlu City." Liu Ming said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
The map he bought in Tongyangfang City marked the layout of Nanlu City in detail, but now it was brightly lit in the middle of the night, which was indeed a bit strange.
With a sweep of his consciousness, he immediately discovered that there were many soldiers in the palace. There seemed to be fluctuations in the mana of monks in the crystallization stage, which was obviously really abnormal.
Liu Ming pressed his hand in the air and recited a spell in a low voice. Black ripples spread from his eyes again. After a moment, he snorted and said:
"That Thousand Illusory Human Demon should be hiding in the palace. It seems that he wants to help the riots in the mortal capital to avoid our pursuit."
"Master, I remember that the Taiqing Sect's rules stipulate that monks are not allowed to interfere too much with the order of the mortal world. Is it appropriate for us to just go through it like this?" Xie'er said with some worry.
"It doesn't matter, I have roughly locked the location of Qian Huan Human Demon, and I just need to find him out. I don't think the Jiang Kingdom royal family will condone this evil cultivator hiding in the palace so openly." Liu Ming smiled slightly, and then blackened his body.
With a flash of energy, he took Xie'er and flew towards the palace.
In the hexagonal palace of the imperial palace, the middle-aged man dressed in bright yellow brocade robes who had been transformed into a demon by Qian Huan was half lying on a soft chair, with a depressed expression and an abnormal blue-black color on his face.
Standing next to the soft chairs were several Jiang Guo monks in bright red robes. One of them, a tall old man with a gray beard, emitted a beam of white light from the tip of one finger, and was circling back and forth over the body of Qian Huanren Demon. After a while, he frowned.
asked:
"Jiang Li, have you ever clearly seen the face of the person who hurt you?"
"Return... to report back to the Great Elder, I was also awakened by strange movements in my sleep. The room was pitch black at that time. I could only vaguely see a hazy black shadow, and it was very fast. He casually hit me with a black light. Then.
I don’t know anything anymore." "Jiang Li", who was transformed into a human demon by Qian Huan, said looking extremely weak.
Several monks nearby looked at each other after hearing this, with doubts in their eyes. However, none of them spoke.
The tall old man withdrew the white light in his hand, and wisps of green and black energy steamed up from "Jiang Li's" head. The green and black color on his face also faded away, and his complexion seemed much better.
The tall old man looked "Jiang Li" up and down, then took out a jade bottle from his body and poured out a pill for him to take.
"It's just ordinary rotting corpse poison. I have already eliminated the poison. As long as you rest for a while, you will recover soon." The tall old man said calmly.
"Thank you, Great Elder!" "Jiang Li" said with sincere fear.
The tall old man waved his hands casually, then ignored the mortal emperor, winked at the other worshipers, and walked out of the room together.
"What do you think of this?"
After a few people left the room, the tall old man flicked his sleeves, released a soundproof barrier to cover the few people inside, and asked.
"This assassin is obviously also a monk. No matter what his cultivation level is, the opponent probably doesn't really want to take Jiang Li's life. Otherwise, he would have died thousands of times for a mere mortal." A young man with blond hair.
The man said slowly, his tone not polite to Emperor Jiang at all.
It's no wonder that the monks have always looked down upon mortals with short life spans and weak strength. Even if Jiang Li is the king of a country, there will be no exception.
"This is obvious, so what is the purpose of the other party's move? Is it to warn our Jiang family? Because of the Huilong jade quota, our Jiang family has indeed offended many forces in recent years..." The speaker was a young woman.
, even the wide robes of worship could not hide her graceful figure.
"No matter what the reason is, Jiang Li is the nominal emperor of the Jiang Kingdom. Since the family has arranged for us to hold this position of enshrinement for the royal family, we cannot let anything happen to him. We have been working hard these past few days, and we are all here. From now on, we will not
To ensure that someone is by his side to protect him every day, we have indeed been a little too negligent in the past few years." The tall old man waved his hand, interrupted the young woman's words, and said in a deep voice.
After hearing what the old man said, the young woman's face darkened, and she seemed a little dissatisfied.
The blond young man winked at him, and the young woman's face changed for a while, and she finally nodded reluctantly.
The black-faced man standing next to him, who looked like an iron tower, did not speak from the beginning to the end, but just listened quietly.
In the inner room, Qianhuan Human Demon was still lying on the soft chair, with a weak expression on his face. He glanced towards the outside of the palace, and there was a strange light shining deep in his eyes.
Then he closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
"Sure enough, they are chasing me. How shameful! If Zuo Gongquan hadn't been so cowardly that my spiritual sea was damaged, why would I be hiding here?" Qian Huan Human Demon opened his eyes and thought bitterly.
At this moment, a huge amount of spiritual pressure fell from the sky unbridled, covering the entire palace within it.
The spiritual pressure is cold and sharp, and anyone can feel the bad intentions of the person coming.
Outside the Hexagonal Palace, the tall old man and the other four people felt their bodies sinking. The tall old man quickly moved his hands and fingers like wheels, and the red light flashed around his body to barely stabilize his body, while the other three were unable to move.
The young woman with the weakest cultivation level almost knelt down.
Just as a few people were looking at each other, a black figure appeared from the sky and landed in the sky outside the Hexagonal Palace.
At this time, the soldiers around the palace were already lying on the ground in confusion, in a semi-conscious state. They were just ordinary mortal soldiers, and there was a big reason why they were able to survive such a huge amount of spiritual pressure without directly exploding to death.
It's because the person who came here deliberately let go.
The tall old man's face was extremely ugly. As a monk in the crystallization stage, he could better understand how scary this person was. However, among the people present, he had the highest level of cultivation and could not escape.
He could only grit his teeth, make a seal with one hand, fly down and land a few feet away from the black figure, bow and salute:
"Jiang Guo's royal family worships Jiang Qing. I didn't know that my senior was coming, so I couldn't welcome him from afar. I hope you'll forgive me!"
This person has reached the middle stage of Crystal Transformation and is considered a figure in the clan. Although it is impossible to see Liu Ming's exact cultivation level, his knowledge is naturally far beyond the comparison of the other three, so he sensed this suffocating force.
After receiving the powerful spiritual pressure, they knew that the opponent's power was beyond their ability to resist.
The other three people also hurriedly followed the old man and bowed as if they had just woken up from a dream.
The black figure was wrapped in a faint black mist and looked very mysterious. Due to the black mist, its appearance could not be seen clearly, but the tall old man and the other four people felt a cold gaze coming towards him.
The four of them felt a slight chill in their bodies, and suddenly became as silent as a chill.
"I am a disciple of the Taiqing Sect." The person who came was naturally Liu Ming. His eyes swept over the four of them and he said calmly.
"It turns out he is a senior from the Taiqing Sect. I'm so polite. I wonder why you have come to our palace in Jiang State?" The tall old man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Liu Ming reported that he was a monk from the Taiqing Sect.
said.
As one of the four great sects of the human race, the Taiqing Sect has strict discipline and its disciples are naturally not murderous people.
"I have been tracking here in order to capture an evil cultivator." Liu Ming's eyes fell on the hexagonal palace behind the four people and he said calmly.
In his perception, Qianhuan human demon was hiding in this palace.
"Evil monk?" The four of them were startled when they heard this and couldn't help but look at each other.
When the tall old man saw the direction Liu Ming was looking, his expression changed, and he hurriedly swept away the Palace of Divine Consciousness. He breathed a sigh of relief after a moment.
Apart from Jiang Li, the mortal emperor, there were only a few maids in the palace, and no one else was hidden.
"Senior, this is the palace of the Emperor of Jiang Kingdom. There are only a few palace maids in there now. I'm afraid there are no evil cultivators that Senior is looking for." The tall old man had a look of embarrassment on his face. After a slight hesitation, he did not get out of the way.
Body shape.
The young woman and the other three glanced at the tall old man, their faces turned pale, but they didn't say anything.
"Emperor? Haha, I see, this is interesting. You guys, please step aside. I am looking for this Emperor Jiang. If I am not mistaken, he is the evil cultivator I am looking for." Liu Ming's eyes widened when he heard this.
Flash, chuckled a few times.
"What? This is impossible. I have just personally checked Jiang Li's body. He has no magic power at all. He is just a mortal. By the way, an assassin infiltrated into the Jiang Kingdom Palace today and injured him. Senior
Could it be that the evil cultivator we are looking for is the assassin?" The tall old man was stunned and hurriedly replied in disbelief. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and faster novels!
