The Taoists of the Taoist Sect were driven out of the Taoist palace by the officers and soldiers in a hurry like a bereaved dog.
Most of them carry large and small bags of luggage.
The leaders were none other than three palace masters who majored in literary arts: Lin Qinghong, Fang Zhiyun, and Xie Ling.
The three of them looked at the surrounding groups of officers and soldiers stationed in the Dao Palace, as well as the people of Shinichi and Xizong who were gloating about the drama not far away.
"After Dongzong, are we again?" Palace Master Lin Qinghong looked at the people gathered around her with tired eyes.
His daughter's incident has already embarrassed him, and now he has even severed ties with her.
But these are far less impactful than what is happening now.
"Could it be that a hundred-year-old Taoist palace was destroyed in one day?" He said in a daze.
"Where is Daozi? The headmaster has passed away, and now I, Tianbao, should take over the throne as Daozi!" Fang Zhiyun said in a deep voice.
"Taozi... There are two Taoists. One is far away in Qingchuan, Ze Province, and the other is now..." Xie Ling shook her head.
Looking at Zhang Qingzhi, it would be difficult for him to succeed as an ordinary Taoist, not to mention taking over the throne.
His will and spirit were almost completely destroyed.
In addition, his cultivation level is far from being able to serve as a head teacher, so the position is naturally impossible to be handed over to him.
As for the other one, his cultivation is far from enough to hold the position of headmaster, so now it can only be handled by the three of them.
For a moment, the three of them were at a loss what to do and remained silent.
The surrounding Taoists had already been driven out of the palace, but now they were at a loss when they saw the backbone of the three palace masters, and the helplessness in their hearts became even more intense.
Some Taoists who had a weak sense of belonging simply quietly escaped from the periphery and walked away.
As long as you find a place to take off your Taoist robes, it is not easy to leave the Taoist sect, which is already gone.
"Let's go." Fang Zhiyun took one last look at Tianbao Palace. The trees and flowers that filled his eyes might never be seen again.
This place is about to be transformed into Shinichi's Sun Palace by Shinichi.
Perhaps from today on, the name Tianbao will no longer exist...
"Oh no, Zhang Qingzhi Daozi is missing!"
Suddenly a Taoist priest shouted in panic.
What!?
The three palace masters were shocked at the same time.
At this time, anyone can leave, but Daozi cannot leave.
This is the spiritual core that represents the entire Tianbao Palace.
Two Taoists, even though Zhang Qingzhi is now half disabled, he is still a Taoist.
If word spreads and Taoist disciples realize that the situation is not good and take the opportunity to escape, the reputation of the entire Taoist sect in that team will be severely damaged...
If the occupation of Tianbao Palace was a major blow, then Daozi's escape was the second major blow immediately after!
At this time, not only did the three palace masters change their colors, but the senior officials of Tianbao Palace also felt a roar in their hearts.
People were quickly sent to search everywhere, but after a while, everyone confirmed that Zhang Qingzhi was really missing.
The minds of the three palace masters were buzzing.
An unspeakable panic surged into my heart.
God, things may change!

Seventy kilometers away from Dadu, there is a canyon called Taiyi.
It is said here that a true immortal who attained the Tao once passed by on a bull and taught the founder of Taoism a volume of the Book of Changes.
Hence the name.
From a distance, Taiyi Canyon looks like a big river flowing through a triangular rock gap.
The river is fast and named Yijiang.
The rock peak is steep and named Taichen.
So each of them had a homonymous word and named it Taiyi.
At this time, on one side of the canyon river bank, there was a pale boulder more than three meters high. On top of the irregular boulder, a person was sitting cross-legged.
The man had a golden crown and white clothes, and his hands were dark and thick, as if he were wearing some kind of gloves and armbands.
From a distance, she has graceful curves and wears a golden mask with closed eyes on her face. She is obviously a young woman.
"You've been waiting here for three days. It seems that Zhenyi and Xizong are really free on weekdays. They don't do anything and spend their time here just for me."
The woman spoke clearly, her voice was like a clear spring from a high mountain, yet it was cold but still contained a trace of calm nobility.
Opposite the woman, on the river bank, two figures were sitting cross-legged.
One person was wearing a bright red gold silk cassock. He was thin, his eyes were dull, and his bald forehead looked shriveled and sunken everywhere.
This is an old man who looks like he is about to die.
But here, the other two people knew that he was by no means as weak as he looked.
Because this person is the most powerful person in the Zhenfo Temple today, apart from the contemporary abbot Yuanshi - Yuanli.
On the other side, an old man was wearing a purple gold Taoist robe, with a long flowing beard, big sleeves dangling, and a long sword on his back. He had an air of immortal Taoism.
It's just that this temperament is too solemn, but it gives people a sense of illusion and unreality, making people feel that he is more like an old Taoist liar.
This person is the representative of Zhenyi who came to snipe the Yuxu Palace of the Daoist Sect this time, the second of the five sons of Mingshan - Taoist Chunrong.
"I haven't seen Taoist Yuyan for many years, but now it seems that it is still as bright as before... rare... rare." Taoist Chunrong smiled and sighed softly.
"The three of us haven't gotten together like this for many years, right?" Xizong Yuanli nodded and sighed.
"Am I familiar with you?" the golden masked woman said coldly, "Where are Master Yuan and Qing Yi? Why don't you come out to see me?"
"What's the use of seeing or not seeing?" Yuan Li gently turned the Buddhist beads. "Junior brother has inherited a great cause and is busy with national affairs. He is not as free as me."
Master Yuan is actually his junior brother.
"With me and the other two accompanying you, isn't it enough for Yuyan?" Taoist Chunrong on the side said with a smile.
Jin Yuyan sneered.
She had already tried to force her way in just now.
It's a pity... those two are on the same level as her. Although they are weaker than her and cannot defeat her head-on, they can easily entangle and block her.
If not, she wouldn't have been wasting her time here.
"Yue Dewen seeks death on his own. That is his own business, but if you attack Tianbao Palace, are you going too far?"
"Whether it's a fault or not, if Yuyan regards it as a whole with Yuxu Palace, it will naturally be considered a fault. But if not, then Yue Dewen is asking for it." Xizong Yuanli smiled.
"It's getting late. Instead of wasting your time here, how about we return to Ze Province so that we can keep the water from the well and the river in the future?"
He looked like a dying old monk, but after several fights, Jin Yuyan knew that Yuanli was the more troublesome one among the two.
She immediately fell silent, sneered, closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing.
Yuanli and Chunrong also stopped talking and sat quietly on the edge of Yijiang River, practicing literary skills.
The two sides worked together to clear out the Taoist priests who were causing trouble. This was something they had already discussed.
Now Jin Yuyan of Yuxu Palace is personally dispatched and is also included in their calculations.
But at this time, Jin Yuyan knew that he couldn't do anything, and they still refused to retreat despite the two of them blocking him.
Among them...the two of them were confused. Up to now, they were actually a little confused.
If they worked together to hold Jin Yuyan back at the beginning, then now, it seems that the situation has changed.
It turned into Jin Yuyan, holding them both back.
What is her purpose!?
She should know that as they are both spiritual generals, victory or defeat does not really matter to them.
Because of the characteristics of spirit generals, they can be defeated, but almost impossible to kill.

Qingchuan government office, backyard.
Zhang Rongfang recalled the previous battle.
At that last moment, he tried his best, and the sudden increase of strength from his back raised the power of his entire shot to a higher level.
Looking at the situation at that time, the guy seemed to have recognized what that weird power was before he died.
While he was thinking, he quietly stared at the white Qinghua tree that had just been transplanted.
All the flowers and trees in the backyard have been replaced with flowering trees.
He liked this kind of white, the whiteness in his eyes and the fragrance on his nose, just like when he saw Tianbao Palace for the first time, it seemed to wash away the fatigue and lethargy in his heart.
"Shang Dingye is dead. The merchant may not find out in the short term, but as time goes by, he will definitely pay attention to the investigation. After all, he is a master. I don't know if our arrangement will be effective." Zuo Han said worriedly behind him.
"Don't worry." Zhang Rongfang turned around, "Master Yue is not here, and I don't have much nostalgia for the Taoism. If it is discovered, at worst we can leave this place and go to other places to lurk.
The only ones who can do anything to us are a plurality of grandmasters, or perhaps great masters. But the world is so big, how many great masters can there be? Most of them are high-ranking people who will spend a long time and great efforts to track us down?"
"What the prince said is absolutely true." Zuo Han agreed with this statement. The great master is not a cabbage.
Even in the vast territory of Great Spirit, there are probably only single digits within each top force. Everyone is the top powerhouse.
Shangguan Feihe is like this.
There is a high probability that after this person broke through the great master, he still persisted in practicing to reach perfection. In the end, he could not make any progress, so he worshiped God.
Such strong men are all the best among men, and behind one person they can influence a large number of powerful people and cronies.
Don't move it easily.
"Now that Master Yue has passed away, why don't the prince give up his empty duties here and go back to the Moon God Palace with Zuo? Considering how hidden the Moon God Palace is, isn't it too late to wait until the cultivation reaches the limit before going out?" Zuo Han was at this time.
Even though I was not in the center of the whirlpool, I could already feel the depression and depression of the approaching storm.
The Taoist Sect's Yuxu Palace was mobilized in full force. So many masters and great masters took action. Where did they go? Why has there been no movement for so long?
When the leader dies, no one will believe that the Great Dao Church has no expression.
Everyone is waiting for the Taoist Sect's first counterattack.
The counterattack is like a knife, it may fall at any time, but you just don't know where it will stab.
"Master Yue has placed high hopes on me and has sacrificed a lot. But... becoming a headmaster is not what I want..." Zhang Rongfang sighed lightly.
In fact, instead of going to the Moon God Palace, where the situation is unknown, and facing the possible existence of the Moon God, it would be better to stay in the Taoist Sect. At least his relationship with the Jin Yuyan master uncle in Yuxu Palace seems to have a further possibility.
And he also received so much care from Master Yue.
It would not be a good thing to walk away at such a time.
"By the way, the last word that came out of that guy's mouth, Uncle Zuo, do you know what it was? How is my last move different from my usual outbursts?"
Zhang Rongfang changed the topic.
Regarding the death of Shang Dingye, Zhang Ying was just a top-notch foreign medicine practitioner and had absolutely nothing to do with Shang Dingye's death.
Therefore, even if the merchant investigates and does not find out his true strength, it is impossible to find him.
What he was more concerned about at this time was the last word Shang Dingye said before.
What exactly is the purple-red tumor on his back? Maybe Shang Dingye has seen it before.
"Zuo doesn't know what's going on in the Taoist sect. However, the prince's last move has a strange penetrating power. It's hard to describe." Zuo Han frowned and said, "It's like something similar to the extreme realm. He mobilized himself all at once.
There is more flesh and blood power that exists in itself."
They don't have words like muscle, so when they talk about it, they usually use flesh and blood instead.
"Extreme state..." Zhang Rongfang secretly wrote down in his heart.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Uncle Zuo. I plan to operate well in Ze Province and build a safe base that belongs entirely to us. We no longer need to move around and live in no fixed place like before."
"This is feasible. But the key is to have a good relationship with Yuxu Palace." Zuo Han said solemnly. Although he was extremely disgusted with Yuxu Palace, he also knew that now he did not have the strength or opportunity to fall out with this behemoth.
.
Zhang Rongfang also saw what he was thinking, and the two of them made detailed plans on how to arrange, plan, future development, etc.
Moreover, with Sun Chaoyue here and the cooperation of the others, all matters in Qingchuan Mansion are now being handled in an orderly manner.
Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Yunqi were responsible for leading a team of counter-sect members to search for medicinal materials for the next Golden Toad Gong and collect the required information.
Qianshimen cooperates with the team of Chenxiang Palace to find ways to make money. This place is no better than Citong Port.
Although Qingchuan Prefecture also has a port, the throughput is not large, and it is a long way from trading countries. The cost is too high, and maritime merchants are not willing to come here.
In addition, the twelve local sects have already controlled almost all industries.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to obtain more financial resources.
After he was free, Zhang Rongfang's next step was to refine elixirs every few days to produce the bigu elixir.
The rest of the time, I just wandered around in secret.
He is looking for new flesh and blood to complete the human body.
The situation in the Taoist Sect has changed drastically, and the inexplicable death of his master has made him quickly feel a sense of danger that is far more urgent than before.
He must improve himself as soon as possible.
Only in this way can we ensure that we are not drowned by huge waves.
