Next to the towering Demon Suppression Tower outside the city, a huge altar dozens of meters high stood quietly in front of Lin Ji, facing the morning glow.
Lin Ji and Lei Bao were not the only ones guarding the altar.
Not long ago, before dawn, Lin Ji saw Lu Zhaoer appear.
She put on the uniform of Yu Xingguan, with a bit of heroism on her face, and a big knife on her waist.
This was the first time Lin Ji saw Lu Zhaoer's weapon.
A broad-bladed machete with a length of 1.56 meters.
It is really unconventional for such a good-looking woman to wear a big sword.
It’s not just Lu Zhaoer, the star official.
All around, overtly and covertly, there were many people that Lin Ji had discovered or not discovered.
Because he has practiced the Six Senses Return to Origin Art, his spiritual consciousness and six senses are much sharper than those of ordinary fourth-level monks.
All those who could be discovered by him were only the fourth realm monks, and there were at least a dozen of them.
There are still some places that cannot be detected by spiritual consciousness. Those who are obviously strange must be masters of the fifth realm or above.
As for things that Lin Ji couldn't discover at all, there must be some.
"The security is tight." Lin Ji let out a long sigh of relief.
With so many people here, even if something happened, it wouldn't be his turn to take the lead.
At this moment, Lin Ji suddenly noticed a figure in the distance.
Bald, wearing monk's robes, fat.
He is the master of delusion.
Master Xingchi obviously also saw Lin Ji. He took two quick steps and came to Lin Ji.
"Amitabha, I have met Almsgiver Lin."
"Why is Master Xingchi here too?" Lin Ji was a little curious.
Although he knew that Master Xingchi seemed to be planning many things with Zhan Chengfeng, he never imagined that Xingchi, who was far away in Liangzhou, would also come to the capital.
Master Xingchi chuckled twice.
"I just came here as ordered."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji was immediately shocked.
"Master Zhang Mi is here too?"
Lin Ji vaguely remembered that the voice of Master Zhang Mi was a bit familiar. Looking back now, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the black-robed man he saw on the edge of the Liang River.
That man in black robe was a ruthless man who massacred tens of thousands of people in Lianghe County and then escaped with Zhan Chengfeng.
Although he was not sure what the connection would be between the two, but based on the principle of safety first, Lin Ji was extremely fearful of Master Zhang Mi.
Master Xingchi clasped his hands together and did not answer. He just bowed and left.
Seeing this, Lin Ji didn't ask any more questions.
After Master Xingchi left, Lin Ji's eyes fell on the viewing platform not far away from the altar.
"Master Lei, when you restart the Demon Suppression Tower, will you still invite people to watch the ceremony?" Lin Ji asked casually.
"Yes, people from countless sects in the world, as well as gods from all over the world, both overt and covert, will come." Lei Bao nodded slightly, "This is just to shock the world. In this case, these people
Of course I won't let it go.
Lei Bao looked at Lin Ji with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
Lin Jin could feel that Lei Bao was walking on thin ice at this time.
The chief police officer of a state said that he was prestigious.
But in the final analysis, it still cannot escape the category of head arrest.
A mere sixth-grade official with a fourth-level cultivation level, in this situation.
Just a little guy.
...
In the palace.
Gao Qunshu accompanied Emperor Pei and stood at the entrance of the hall all night.
"The things in the city are almost over." Emperor Pei said casually, but there was a bit of regret in his tone.
Gao Qunshu was silent.
He heard this regretful tone, but he only felt it was ironic.
How many important ministers and pillars of the country.
It's just gone, and it's unclear why it's gone.
Da Qin's national destiny was weakened by more than 30% just last night.
The destiny of the country is related to the peace of the world and the stability of the dynasty.
And these ministers each occupy important positions in the court, and each of them is related to the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty.
It's no small matter if one falls.
What's more, it was so overwhelming last night.
"It's time for me to go do some business." Gao Qunshu bowed and saluted.
"Go." Pei Emperor nodded and turned around and walked into the hall without looking at Gao Qunshu.
Watching Pei Di leave, a somewhat intriguing smile appeared on Gao Qunshu's face, but it quickly passed away.
There is no truly selfless person in this world.
"Wei Chen excuses himself." Gao Qunshu pointed at Emperor Pei's back and saluted deeply again.
...
Chief Office of Supervisor Tiansi.
When Gao Qunshu returned here, Master Zhang Mi and Taoist Pingxin had already left.
Only Fang Yunshan remained in the study, with bloodshot eyes.
A monk in the seventh realm would actually have bloodshot eyes appear after not sleeping all night.
Gao Qunshu remained silent and walked into the study by himself, ignoring Fang Yunshan's gaze.
But Fang Yunshan would not give up like this.
"Master Gao! Master Gao!"
He shouted twice, but Gao Qunshu still ignored him.
Fang Yunshan asked: "Does Master Gao know what happened in the city last night?!"
Gao Qunshu had already taken off the sword hanging on the wall and looked at Fang Yunshan.
"I know it."
Fang Yunshan asked again: "Have you known about it for a long time?"
"I've known it for a long time." Gao Qunshu nodded calmly.
"So after meeting Zhang Mi yesterday, it was an excuse to go to the palace to report?"
"Yes...and no."
"Is Emperor Pei borrowing a knife to kill people, eliminate dissidents, and take control of the court after this incident?"
What is taboo in the eyes of others may not be scary to people like Fang Yunshan.
Disaster comes from the mouth and spreads among people.
Gao Qunshu nodded, then shook his head.
"Yes...and no."
While speaking, Gao Qunshu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Fang Yunshan.
He could tell that Fang Yunshan's aura was a little sluggish and his spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly.
"You are the Youtianguan of the Supervising Tiansi, and you can't escape."
"Of course you can't escape! The national destiny is declining. How can someone like me, who is connected to the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty, escape?!"
Fang Yunshan gritted his teeth quite a bit.
"It's fine if they are princes and ministers who have no cultivation, but for us monks, our own luck is more important than anything else! The fate of the country has withered, and my luck has also weakened. If I hadn't stabilized my mind in time last night, I might not have been able to do this at this time.
You can still stay in the seventh realm!"
"Master Gao! The Demon Suppression Tower was destroyed half a year ago. Weren't you also implicated, falling from the peak to where you are now? You know this better than I do. Why did you let us stand still last night?!"
"Do you know that last night, seven or eight high-ranking officials came to beg me to take action, but I could only watch them being wiped out."
It can be heard that at this moment, the anger in Fang Yunshan's heart cannot be stopped.
But Gao Qunshu just listened quietly.
It wasn't until Fang Yunshan finished speaking that he finally spoke.
"It's not just you who is implicated. I am the head of the Supervisory Heaven Division. Even your cultivation has been damaged. How can I escape?"
"Then why did you...?" The only thing Fang Yunshan couldn't figure out was this.
The Supervisor Tiansi not only oversees the world, but also because they are all monks, joining the Supervisor Tiansi will be connected to the fate of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Supervisor Tiansi also has an unwritten rule, which is to guard against people disrupting the imperial court.
Even the emperor must be restrained by Supervisor Tiansi.
Monks are never selfless.
They took advantage of the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty to cultivate, so naturally they also wanted to maintain the peace of the Qin Dynasty.
If the fate of the Qin Dynasty is in tatters, Supervisor Tiansi may not be united.
Gao Qunshu chuckled lightly and did not answer.
He just took his sword and walked out of the study.
