Zhang Rongfang frowned and looked at Wanghai Temple.
"Enter the temple quickly to see if there are any thieves! You dare to raid Wanghai Temple under my rule. If the masters make any mistakes, how can I explain it to the Zen masters of the Western Sect!?"
He looked solemn and said solemnly.
Shangguan Lianyue led people to follow from behind.
"Lord Shoujiao, all religious affairs in this entire Citon are under your control. They are your responsibilities and have nothing to do with lower officials.
I just came here to relieve the siege of Chenxiang Palace, but now that the matter has been resolved, it’s time for me to return to Xuehong Pavilion."
"Sir Shangguan is going back so soon?" Zhang Rongfang was surprised.
"Why not stay a little longer so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's just that I have been accustomed to a life of asceticism for many months. I have been here for a long time, and I'm afraid it will affect my mood when I go back. As the saying goes, gentle enjoyment is a poison that corrodes bones..."
Shangguan Lianyue laughed twice but did not finish his words.
Suddenly, a sharp alarm sound of fireworks came from Wanghai Temple.
Red fireworks exploded suddenly.
Several figures rushed out quickly and knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Rongfang.
"Master Shoujiao, something bad is going on! There are traces of fighting all over the Wanghai Temple, and corpses are strewn on the ground! The abbot, Zen Master Kongxiang, is nowhere to be seen and is suspected to be missing!"
"What!!?" Zhang Rongfang was shocked, "Take me to see it quickly!"
Shangguan Lian Yue on the side also had a smile on his face.
He had also heard of Kong Xiang of Wanghai Temple. Although he did not know him, in Zhenfo Temple, among all the monks of Kong Xiang's generation, there was no weak one.
At least it is a super-grade inner magic spirit network.
As for the empty phase being able to sit in one place, I'm afraid there are more three empty spiritual connections.
Such a master, at the same level as him, would suddenly disappear inexplicably!?
Shangguan Lianyue became more and more panicked as he thought about it.
It feels like the depth of the water in Citon Harbor is unimaginable.
Something didn't feel right about the last encirclement and suppression of the secret sect.
This time, there were so many monks in the Wanghai Temple, and there was an eminent monk of the Kong family taking the lead, and they actually...
He quickly followed Zhang Rongfang and entered the temple together with Sun Chaoyue, Chen Han and others.
Sure enough, upon entering the temple gate, the inner wall was broken and the pillars were broken.
The ground is covered with cracked stone slabs and deep footprints.
The corpses of monks lay scattered in a pool of blood, their breaths long gone.
Strangely, Kong Xiang, the most powerful abbot in the temple, was nowhere to be seen.
See this messy murder scene.
Shangguan Lianyue felt a chill in his heart rushing to the back of his head.
Then look at Zhang Yingdaozi who looked shocked.
The other party's shocked expression was very real, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
"This... what kind of murderer is this!!? He actually dares to do this to the masters of Xizong!! It's just... simply!!" Zhang Rongfang looked ugly, his body was shaking, and he shouted loudly as if in fear.
.
"I, Mr. Zhang, am a religious leader, and now I am facing a major case because of my inability to control it...!!" He lamented loudly, with a sad look on his face.
"Li Shang!"
"Here!" A strong Taoist man guarding the yamen behind him stepped forward and knelt down.
"Starting from today, I order you to mobilize all the forces within the Shoujiao Yamen to investigate the murderer behind Wanghai Temple! Find out the clues!! Give me a bright future in Citonggang!!" Zhang Rongfang said sternly.
"I obey my orders!!" The Taoist named Li Shang responded loudly. He felt that he was being used in an important way and became excited for a moment.
"Li Shang, I know that you have always been aware of the subtleties and have strong investigative abilities. This time, perhaps the case of the masters will be entrusted to you."
Zhang Rongfang sighed as he looked at the blood all over the ground.
"Shang, you will definitely live up to your trust!" Li Shang was encouraged by his superior superior, and he immediately felt like he had been given a shot of blood, his face turned red and his eyes were firm.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the government office and governor arrived belatedly.
Teams of people surrounded Wanghai Temple again.
The governor of the palace, Zhao Yanting, and the governor of the palace, Nilov, hurried over with their masters of bodyguards.
After seeing the bloody mess in Wanghai Temple, both of them turned pale and looked at Zhang Rongfang.
"Zhang Shoujiao, this... what do you think should be done about this!?" Zhao Yanting was a little panicked.
Wanghai Temple is a brand-new temple built by eminent monks from the Western Sect.
It has only been built for a year or two, and something big like this has happened.
Once it is verified, he, the governor responsible for local security management, will be held jointly and severally responsible.
"Master Zhao, Master Nilov, I have ordered people to launch a strict investigation. Mobilize all forces, at all costs, we must catch the murderer and bring him to justice, so as to comfort the souls of many masters of Wanghai Temple!"
Zhang Rongfang sighed.
"Well, if this case can be of any use, just ask Zhang Shouxiang." Ninov had met Kong Xiang and knew that the other party's strength was terrifying.
At this time, even the Kongxiang disappeared mysteriously, and the entire Wanghai Temple was in a mess. How could he dare to come in and wade into the muddy water?
Among the people present, Zhang Ying and Zhang Shoujiao are the only ones who, as Taoists of the Great Dao Sect, have the background to withstand this wave of accountability.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu Yin." Zhang Rongfang thanked Nilov and clasped his fists.
"No matter what, Lord Shoujiao, please provide the results as soon as possible. This matter is of great importance. Xuehong Pavilion and Zhenfo Temple may send people to investigate."
Zhao Yanting reminded.
"I understand!" Zhang Rongfang nodded solemnly.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
The Wanghai Temple case was quickly concluded.
The entire Wanghai Temple was raided and wiped out by masters from the Thousand Cult Alliance.
In Wanghai Temple, the Shoujiao Yamen also found the remains of corpses belonging to the masters of the Thousand Sect League, as well as traces of a violent fight.
Kong Xiang's body was also found on a beach a few miles away from Wanghai Temple.
There was only an outer skin left on the body, and there was nothing inside.
As for why the Thousand Religious Alliance wanted to raid Xizong?
Don't know this.
No one knows what these secret sect masters will do.
Anyway, as long as they go against Ling Ting, they will do it.
When you encounter problems, just blame them on them.
After Zhang Rongfang reported the case, there was no response from Zhenfo Temple for the time being.
This shocking case is finally over.
Mid July.
The civil strife in Great Spirit gradually calmed down.
After the expeditionary force landed overseas, they conquered more than a dozen small countries. According to the rules, the men were all killed while riding high above the wheel.
Afterwards, a large number of women and children's belongings were robbed and transported back to various ports in Daling through the logistics fleet.
Among them, Citong Port receives the most.
Late July.
The ship transporting slaves arrived at Citon Port again.
The wind blows from the sea at the pier, and the temperature gradually begins to cool down.
Groups of women and children in gray skirts walked neatly down the gangway beside the ship with sad faces.
Except for children, these people are all women, and their skin color is obviously different from that of most Great Spirit people. They have more characteristics similar to those of the Hussites.
The eyes they raised from time to time revealed numbness, despair, anxiety, and fear.
Some of the women even had slightly bulging bellies and bruises all over their bodies. They may have been violated on the boat and became pregnant with the flesh and blood of soldiers.
On the pavilion of a private house near the pier.
Yinnilov of the Erythronium Mansion was holding a banquet in his private residence to welcome the returning captain of the fleet—Xue Chengsi.
Almost all senior officials of Citong participated in this banquet.
On the light blue sloping roof, in the afternoon, bright yellow lights are projected, shining on the green and black shiny tiles.
Bursts of music, laughter, and chatter floated out from the upper floors of the pavilion.
Xue Chengsi was over fifty years old. He was born into a noble nobleman among spiritual beings. He possessed superb martial arts and had reached the inner law. He was one of the few powerful spiritual beings.
But even though he is a top grader, at his current age, he has begun to decline.
Because of the exhaustion of Qi and blood and the lack of martial arts to maintain health, his actual martial arts skills were only at the level of external medicine.
At this time in the attic banquet hall.
He is wearing a lavender robe, a rhinoceros horn belt, and a wide-brimmed hat with a red background and black brim.
The top of the hat is also inlaid with a large red coral bead the size of a fingernail.
What is particularly eye-catching is that he has a pregnant belly, and he staggers when he walks, giving him a rather honest and honest temperament.
"In today's world, I originally thought that there would be no place that could compare with my Great Spirit. Who would have thought that during this trip, I would actually see a lot."
"Mr.
"Well, there are many small countries in Western Italy. Although the land is sparse and the people are sparse, their courage is commendable. This time when I was waiting to destroy the twelfth country, I encountered a group of stubbornly resisting natives.
Our army besieged them for more than three months, and finally resisted until the last person in the city died, and no one surrendered." Xue Chengsi praised them.
"If I, the Great Spirit, can also have such a heroic army, I will be able to greatly reduce military casualties."
"Perhaps it's because they share a common belief? It's not because we have too many sects." Zhang Rongfang, who was wearing a brocade robe on the side, said with a smile.
As one of the three highest-ranking officials in Citon Port, he naturally wanted to attend the banquet.
"That's right. My great spirit is that there are too many sects and they are too complex, and their beliefs cannot be unified, and they are fighting each other." Xue Chengsi nodded in agreement with this statement.
He looked at Zhang Rongfang and had heard about this contemporary Taoist disciple.
After all, since this person arrived in Citong, he has caused quite a stir.
Although he seems to be passive every time, he is the ultimate winner in the end.
No one is a fool and can see the meaning.
In Citong, about 60% of the merchant fleet now allocates 10% of the profits to the Shoujiao Yamen for missionary expenses.
The Shoujiao Yamen used Daling Religion's policies to reasonably avoid some taxes for these fleets.
Monk Tao really does have various tax exemptions and exemptions.
As long as some of the ship's goods are shipped over, and Zhang Rongfang's Shoujiao Yamen finds some connections, he can earn at least an extra 20% of the profit.
In this way, giving 10% to Zhang Shoujiao will also make a lot of money.
Wanghai Temple also thought about closing this road before, but it was gone before it had time to intervene.
Today, no one in the entire Ci Tong can compete with Shoujiao Yamen in this regard.
Zhang Rongfang also dispersed the large amount of profit resources he obtained into Nijiao and Qianshimen.
In this world, practicing martial arts requires a lot of wealth.
Money is powerful.
This is not an empty talk in Daling.
After receiving a large amount of financial support from Zhang Rongfang, the anti-sect's support for him increased again, coupled with the last shot to kill Kong Xiang.
Its reputation has reached its peak for a while.
Now Zhang Rongfang is truly the number one anti-religionist.
