"How did Xi Yushan die?" Great Elder Dong Yichuan said in a cold tone, looking at the secret agent of the sect who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.
At this time, a full four hours had passed since I discovered that Xiyushan's life lamp was extinguished.
If it weren't for the Holy Fire Sect's full force dispatched to suppress Yunzhou, the sect would be empty now, and Dong Yichuan would still be sitting here.
At this moment, he must have taken action personally.
The elders of the Holy Fire Sect were killed in their own territory in the far north. This is something that cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
"Return...to the Great Elder." The spy trembled. He had never seen such an angry Great Elder.
"It was in Jingchuan City that Lin Ji, the Youtian official of Supervisory Tiansi, kidnapped our sect's Saint Beishang. When the second elder saw it, he blocked Lin Ji's way. Unfortunately... he was defeated."
"Invincible?! Xiyushan entered the middle stage of Dao, but lost to Lin Jina in the early stage of Dao? But even so, how could he lose his life? Why should he lose his life? If he was defeated, he would not escape?"
"In this far north, is there any reason why he can't escape from the Ice Road? If he wants to leave, who can stop him?"
The spy was trembling more and more.
"Subordinate... I don't know."
"So this is the result of four hours?"
"This this..."
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
Dong Yichuan suddenly raised his hand and slapped it on the armrest of the chair.
The spy was caught by the sudden pressure, and his body collapsed in an instant, turning into a pool of blood.
Looking at the bloody flesh below, Dong Yichuan gasped.
"It's a critical moment, and you, Xiyushan, don't know how to cherish your life... No! Jingchuan City is where Nawen's family is. Could it be that the leader came back from there?"
A flash of light flashed in Dong Yichuan's eyes.
"Beishuang? That's right, Beishuang is the best seedling in the sect to carry the holy fire! If she is in the sect, even if the leader comes back, he only needs to put the holy fire on her body and merge with her, and even the leader will have a hard time snatching it away.
"
"It is difficult for others to withstand the full power of the Holy Fire, even those like us who have entered the Tao. But Beishuang is different. She was born to carry the Holy Fire since she was a child. She can...she has the opportunity to directly snatch the way of purification.
, she was born for this!”
"So Xiyushan saw the Holy Fire Burning the Sky, so he had to become an enemy of Lin Ji to capture Beishuang? In this case, Xiyushan may have suffered from the leader's plan."
Thinking of this, the anger in Dong Yichuan's eyes subsided slightly and turned into a light of thought.
...
Early morning, Yunzhou.
Mocheng, Supervisor Tiansi Mansion Office.
In the study room that originally belonged to Qin Jinsong, Zi Qing was sitting in the front seat at this time.
There was a bit of annoyance on her pretty face as she kept flipping through the pile of case files on the table.
"So Qin Jinsong hasn't handled any official matters at all in the past six months?" Zi Qing raised her head with a cold face and glared fiercely at Shen Long, who had his legs crossed opposite him.
"How do I know?" Shen Long curled his lips, "He is tired and derelict in his duties. Why are you glaring at me?"
"You can't let him finish all these messes before killing him?" Zi Qing gritted her teeth.
Shen Long was extremely speechless after saying this.
"Can you understand what you are saying?"
"Humph! Get out!" Zi Qing raised her hand and pointed to the door.
Shen Long raised his legs and walked out. If Zi Qing hadn't just arrived in Yunzhou today, he would have had to wait here to explain the matter, otherwise he would have gone to the front line in the north of Yunzhou.
The general offensive of the barbarians has begun, and the Zhenbei Army is retreating steadily.
If we don't keep a close watch from the front, I'm afraid even Mocheng won't be able to defend it in less than ten days and a half.
But just when Shen Long was about to leave, a spiritual pigeon suddenly fell.
Shen Long raised his hand to let the dove fall. Who would have thought that the dove flew past him without paying attention and landed on the desk in front of Zi Qing.
Seeing the little guy nuzzling Zi Qing's finger with his head as if to please, Shen Long took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
But then, Shen Long saw Zi Qing's expression change from indifferent to surprised after receiving the news, until she was so shocked that her eyes widened.
"What news?" Shen Long asked quickly.
"Xiyu Mountain..." Zi Qing put down the note in her hand and still looked at Shen Long in shock.
"Xiyu Mountain? The second child of the Holy Fire Sect? When he and the guy named Bei joined forces, they were no match for me. What happened to him?"
"died."
"Dead? Where? Has he left the Far North?"
"If he died outside Jingchuan City, you would never guess who killed him."
"If you keep showing off, I will fall out of favor!" Shen Long said dissatisfied.
"It's Lin Ji."
"Lin Ji?!"
Shen Long's expression also became like Zi Qing's. He widened his eyes and gestured with a human shape with his hands.
"This Lin Ji?"
Seeing Zi Qing roll her eyes, he continued to gesture.
"Such a tall boy, Bai, do we both know him?"
"Get out!"
Seeing Zi Qing's expression really change, Shen Long didn't want to touch her brow.
"Get out of here, get out of here."
As he said this, he had already reached the door, but he couldn't help but stop and still gesture with his hands.
"That one? He really killed him?"
"roll!"
Bang!
The door to the study room shattered, but unfortunately Shen Long had disappeared, leaving only a sound coming from afar.
"Zi, please change your bad temper!"
...
The northern border of Yunzhou.
It was already noon at this time, and not far away on the other side, the Zhenbei Army's battle formation had been smashed to pieces by the barbarians.
Gu Sheng carried a sledgehammer and swaggered behind someone, half a body behind.
The man in front of him was tall and slender, with long hair falling on his shoulders. He had a long sword on his back and two more hanging on his waist.
It's really strange for one person to carry three swords.
"Hey, I just got the news that Xiyu Mountain was killed by Lin Ji." Gu Sheng said to the man in front of him with some pride, "As soon as I heard the news, I came to find you quickly, Lin Ji That boy's sword is very powerful, you must be interested."
"What's great about him is not his sword, but his karma." A somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
Gu Sheng paused.
"That boy's Qingzhi sword was passed down from Fang Yunshan. Why isn't his sword so powerful? Fang Yunshan became a Taoist with the sword. He is a swordsman like you. That boy is Fang Yunshan's disciple, so his sword must be powerful too."
The figure in front paused.
He turned back, with a slight smile on his thin face.
"Gu Dachui, after all these years, you are still so rude."
"Hey, a natural."
"It's not about using a sword, the sword is powerful."
"You are an expert, so whatever you say is what you say." Gu Sheng shook his head, expressing his incomprehension, "I was no match for you before, and now that I have been reborn, I am even worse than you. So your sword should be better than Lin Ji's Isn’t it awesome?”
"Probably..." the man responded.
"How about compared to Fang Yunshan?"
"It should...maybe...be more powerful."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng grinned.
"As expected of you! Sanshengdongren's Shengli Sword is indeed the best sword in the world."
"That was before." Li Jian shook his head slightly, "I used to be a human saint, but now I am just an unknown pawn in the Palace of Eternal Life."
"You, the deputy palace master, are just a pawn. Who do I, the immortal envoy, mean to you?"
