A burly human figure like an iron tower was standing quietly next to the last place where Kong Xiang was killed.
He seemed to be observing and thinking. "How is it? Did you see anything? Kongding." came the voice.
Deep in the inner courtyard of the temple, a figure flashed silently again.
The man was thin, but wore a wide cassock. His face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but his clear eyes that reflected the moonlight were like two black crystals, extremely eye-catching.
"This method...is a bit like that of a master in the extreme realm." Iron Tower Humanoid Kongding replied.
"Grandmaster of Ji Realm... These guys in Ji Realm are really irritable. There are traces of them everywhere." The thin figure said helplessly.
"But..." Kongding continued, somewhat hesitantly.
"how?"
"However, even a master in the extreme realm cannot be so precise and kill in one go.
Forget it if it's the few great masters who are proficient in the secrets of various sects.
But the traces here are more like the spiritual connections of the two sects fighting each other with all their strength, and finally using mortal means to kill Kong Xiang.
So, this is strange." Kongding sighed.
"Where's Kong Wu? Now that he has been promoted to Grandmaster and is no longer the Sea Dragon King, let him come over and handle the matter." The thin figure ordered.
"Master, Kong Wu has difficulty moving, and is a little too eye-catching." Kong Ding reminded.
"Then you stay and cooperate with him. There are people from the Shinichi Sect as well. There are also people from those rats at the induction door.
Nowadays, Erythrina is becoming more and more mixed with dragons and snakes. Sufficient strength is needed here to maintain a stable position.
In addition, you said before that it was found that the goods imprisoned here were transported to the island?" "Yes, who sent it and where it was sent are still being found.
However, judging from the traces here, they do not look like traces of martial arts from the Thousand Sect Alliance, but more like the remnants of the Eastern Sect, those who rebelled against the religion.
But the few manpower of the Rebellion Sect cannot be the opponent of Kong Xiang and the others. So either there is another master behind them. Or, it is the Thousand Sect Alliance's suspicion formation." Kong Ding replied.
"You and Kong Wu should deal with it. If something happens, we can ask people from Taiqing's lineage to cooperate." "I understand." Kong Ding nodded.
"I'll leave this place to you. I can only stay here for a week at most. The situation in Western Italy has become increasingly chaotic. I must rush there as soon as possible." The thin figure said calmly.
"Disciple understands." Kong Ding lowered his head and said in a deep voice. "Within a week, disciples and Kongwu will first eliminate the main forces of the counter-religion here and search for clues. However, there is Tai Jing here and Zuo Han is here, so disciples are worried...
.
"Don't worry, I'm here and they will stay away." The thin figure said softly. "Yes."
￥
Two days later, early morning.
Inside the Agarwood Palace.
After breakfast, Zhang Rongfang frowned while eating an orange and looking at a secret message in his hand.
The letter was sent from Qianshimen.
Nowadays, Qianshimen has many masters under his command, so the relationship between Zuo Han and him has become closer.
"Mohuraka? What level is this?'
He didn't know much about Xizong, he only knew that Zhenfo Temple was the highest military institution of Xizong.
Most of them arrange seats according to alphabetical order.
The previous Kong Xiang was a member of the Kong character generation.
The secret letter was written by Zuo Han, the leader of the Qianshi Sect, and mentioned that because the Grandmaster of the Yuan Dynasty of the Xizong Dynasty came to Citong secretly, he was told to stay on his own in recent days and not to make any changes. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Zuo Han's tone in the letter was extremely solemn, and he mentioned that because Mohu Luojia had a bad temper and did not like people from the induction sect, they had to stay away for a while and then come back.
It's such a big pomp, but just because they don't like it, they have to force others to retreat and stay away from each other, and are not allowed to stay in the same city...' This kind of power made Zhang Rongfang involuntarily think of another level - the Grand Master.
"Thinking about it, the only person who can make a master retreat like this is the Grand Master level. At this time, this Mohu Luojia will definitely not come here in person because of the death of an empty phase.
He should have come here on some official mission, and then take a look at Kong Xiang's case.
Zhang Rongfang touched his chin and felt some newly grown stubble.
"I was wearing full body armor and a human skin mask underneath, so no one would recognize me.
In this case, just endure it for a while, and when your life reaches 200, new talents should appear...' He was looking forward to it in his heart.
In addition, it is said that clues have been found about the main medicine of Jin Chan Gong, but after so long, the experts who sent out to find the medicine have not returned yet.
It is estimated that either it was not found or something happened again.
At this level, the main medicines required for the daily stage of Golden Toad Skill are all absolute treasures, extremely rare.
It's normal for something to happen.
I just have to follow up and investigate a little bit later.
Just as he was carefully lighting, burning, and crushing the secret message, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
"Daozi! Daozi! Then Mr. Xue Ji Mr. Xue is here again!
The old Taoist in Chenxiang Palace hurriedly ran into the courtyard, bowed to Zhang Rongfang with his fists clasped, and reported quickly in an anxious tone. "What did Mr. Xue do this time?" Zhang Rongfang looked calm.
Xue Ji, because his mother was the eleventh princess of the dynasty, was so arrogant that he had come to Chenxiang Palace to find trouble for two days in a row.
He seemed to believe that the death of Princess Yongxiang was related to him.
After a while, he accidentally smashed the store of Shoujiao's main store.
A while later, he accidentally collided with the cart of alchemy medicinal materials purchased from Chenxiang Palace, crushing and destroying the cart of fine medicinal materials.
Yesterday, he connived with the guards and injured more than ten Taoist priests who greeted guests at Chenxiang Palace. He said that these Taoists were rude to him and looked down upon him.
Today, this guy doesn't know what he plans to do.
Zhang Rongfang was unmoved.
Before, he planned to secretly teach Xue Ji a lesson, but now that a big shot from Xizong has come, he can no longer act rashly.
"Daozi, please go and have a look. Mr. Xue is now insisting that Miss Sun Chaoyue broke his Lion Nine Turn Glazed Cup and wants her to pay five thousand taels!" the old Taoist said helplessly and urgently.
"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Rongfang stood up without moving his face, patted his robe and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Although it is not appropriate to get into a big fight, he is still an expert in foreign medicine. He is not someone who can be easily bullied.
Following the old path, the two quickly passed through the corridor and came to the open space between a temple and the reception area of Chenxiang Palace.
Sure enough, Xue Ji looked cold and surrounded the open space with a large number of Daling soldiers.
Next to him stood a strong and tall woman, with her arms folded across her chest, staring at the surrounded Sun Chaoyue expressionlessly.
"You broke this cup today. If you don't want to pay for it or can't afford it, that's fine. According to the law of the Great Spirit, debts must be paid with people. From now on, you will be mine." Xue Ji said in a steady voice.
"I heard that you are Zhang Ying's confidant, but I don't know how he would react without you."
"Mr. Xue, why are you free to come to my palace today?" He said before he finished speaking.
Zhang Rongfang's voice came from the aisle on one side of the temple.
A group of Taoist priests surrounded him and walked towards him.
It's just that although there are many Taoist priests, they are not enough compared to the elite armored soldiers brought by Xue Ji. Their momentum is much weaker.
"Your man broke my precious cup, Zhang Yingdaozi will take care of it." Xue Ji pointed to a broken ordinary wine cup on the ground, and turned to look at Zhang Rongfang with a half-smile.
"Daozi, I don't! I" Sun Chaoyue hurriedly wanted to argue, but she saw Zhang Rongfang raised his hand to signal her to stop silence.
Zhang Rongfang glanced at the fragments of the cup on the ground. They were ordinary porcelain cups on the market with no more than one tael.
"Come here, get five thousand taels of silver! Since you broke Mr. Xue's precious cup, you should apologize.
The Taoists around him were stunned for a moment, and then started to get into an uproar.
Obviously there is no cup on the market worth five thousand taels!
That’s five thousand taels!
In this era when a plowing cow only costs 40 or 50 taels, 5,000 taels can buy hundreds of the best oxen!
As soon as Zhang Rongfang said these words, even Xue Ji was stunned.
He frowned and stared at Zhang Rongfang, as if he wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
But Zhang Rong's face was calm, with a smile, and no resentment at all.
There was a sincere apology in his eyes.
Soon, a Taoist took out the banknotes and presented them to Xue Ji in total of five thousand taels.
"Young Master Xue, are you still satisfied? The young master was frightened because of his poor control." Zhang Rongfang said softly.
Xue Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at the banknotes on the plate in front of him.
Five thousand taels, even to him, was not a small amount. And the other party actually gave it to him as promised.
He picked up the banknote and examined it carefully. It was indeed a large-denomination banknote issued by Daling Official Bank.
You can exchange it at any bank in Daling.
"Daozi has a good temper. But I have said it before, three days." He gestured with three fingers.
"Today happens to be the third day. I wonder what you have told me?"
"Master Xue, why are you doing this?" Zhang Rongfang sighed, showing helplessness, "Actually, when the princess disappeared, Pindao also searched for clues everywhere. But..."
"But what?" Xue Ji asked coldly. "Is it possible that you have something to hide?"
"The poor Taoist was just born in poverty. He is not as noble as the young master... There are some things that even if he found out, he would not dare to say anything." Zhang Rongfang looked like he did not dare to say anything.
"You can speak freely in front of me. You should know that my mother is Princess Yunxi! If you tell me, I will ensure that nothing happens to you!" Xue Ji raised his chin slightly, with a cold and arrogant expression.
Zhang Rongfang sighed again.
"Master, could you please lend me a moment to speak?"
"Why not?" Xue Ji raised his eyebrows.
Before he came here, someone told him that Zhang Ying was not a good person. He covered the sky with one hand and had huge power in Citong Port. He was most likely the murderer who caused the disappearance of Princess Yongxiang.
But now that he sees it in person, it seems that Zhang Ying is a good old man with a good temper.
It's not as domineering as that person said.
Even though he bullied the other party, the other party still treated him with such a good temper.
This Taoist Taoist's Qi-nurturing skills are truly extraordinary.
