Chapter 123: Chapter 123
Palace of Mirrors.
A group of men in black scimitars, led by a few men in black with silver borders, strode into the Palace of Mirrors.
The leader looked solemn, and there was a hole in the robe on his shoulder, and from time to time, a small purple-black snake poked its head out of it.
This person is Xue Jinghao, the Snake King who hastily brought someone here.
He just got a revelation from a mysterious person, saying that Zhang Ying from the Daoist Mirror Palace is closely related to the White Eagle from the Golden Wing Tower.
So in order to find the white eagle who killed his men, he rushed over immediately with people.
Since Bai Ying uses Daoism to teach martial arts, it is fine to come directly to Daoism.
"who!?"
The gate of the Taoist palace was knocked open, and the martial arts Taoists in charge of defense gathered to meet him.
Each Taoist holds a long stick or a long knife in his hand, these are weapons that are easy to learn and get started.
Used collectively, the power is even greater.
But at this moment among the group of Taoists, none of them dared to get too close.
Among the Taoists in the Mirror Palace, many of them are elderly. These people are well-informed, but they have experienced many turmoil in the past.
That's why many people have recognized the special mark on Xue Jinghao, the Snake King.
The Black Ten Sect is a national religion, and there are many believers among the Hussi. Among them, the masters are everywhere, and the cohesion is also strong.
If there is a conflict with them, Daoism may not be able to bear it.
Among the many sects, Taoism has never been known for its force.
At this moment, seeing a group of people rushing in, among them were the top leaders of the Black Ten Sect, the old people were a little timid.
The Palace Master Chen Zhinian happened to be in the square in front of the gate. Holding his snow-white long beard, he walked out of the crowd slowly with a fairy-like image. He bowed his hands towards the Black Ten Sect crowd.
"But the Snake King of the Black Ten Sect is face to face? Chen Zhinian, the poor Taoist, is the current owner of the Mirror Palace."
Simultaneously stood out behind him were masters of the Mirror Palace, among them were masters of at least the sixth and seventh ranks in the Dao Palace.
In Mingjing Palace, among the house owners, elders, principal and deputy hall masters, there are three people of the seventh rank, and four of the sixth rank.
The strongest among them is Chen Zhinian himself.
Because he is the only one in the entire Taoist palace who only cultivates the pure rejuvenation and purification time talisman to the seventh rank.
That is to say, he did not use other martial arts to break through the limit, unlike other people, who lacked comprehension in talisman and could not further advance, so he turned to learn low-grade martial arts to supplement his own shortcomings and break through the level.
And such a pure cultivator's strength can generally reach the limit of the martial arts they practice.
Compared with the miscellaneous cultivators, their strength is stronger.
If the martial arts they have learned are strong enough, this kind of people can even be one or two levels stronger than other miscellaneous masters.
This is also the true background of the Damen Dapai.
"Chen Zhinian, Palace Master Chen. I'm Xue Jinghao." The Snake King stared at the other party with reddish eyes, and smiled.
"If you think about it, you should know why we came here, right?"
Don't wait for the other person to speak.
He continued.
"The elder of my teaching Zhongda was suddenly assassinated and died tragically near the church, and then the majestic Shinto altar master was also assassinated in Tanyang City.
How could this huge city really become a dragon's pool and a tiger's den? "
Chen Zhinian maintained a calm expression, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.
"Why did the Snake King say that? I've heard about the assassination, but what does it have to do with you bringing people to my Dao Palace? Do you think that the murderer is probably hiding here?"
"Is it hidden here? Check it out, look for it, and you'll know?" Xue Jinghao smiled.
"Isn't it suitable?" The gentleness on Chen Zhinian's face also fell silent.
No matter what, he still represents the image of the interests of the Daoist sect as a whole. If he is turned upside down by the Black Ten Sect so easily, then what is the face of his sect?
In the future, when the upper echelon asks about the crime, can he bear the responsibility?
"If there is no search warrant from Jixianyuan, Snake King will go back and forth." Chen Zhinian said in a deep voice.
"Old Taoist priest, do you think it will be useful to scare me with Jixian Yuan?" Xue Jinghao laughed.
"My sect has suffered huge losses. Now that I have received information that your Taoist sect is harboring a murderer, I will bring people in to search, and no one will be able to say no!"
He waved his hand sharply.
"Enter the door! Search!"
So what if Taoism is a sect recognized by the government?
Before he came, he had coordinated the affairs with Sun Du. Sun Du has the right to mobilize the surrounding garrisons throughout Tan Yang.
Even if the Palace of Mirrors goes out to make a fuss, what tricks can they make?
"I see which one of you dares!? This is the sacred residence of the Taoist sect. If you dare to trespass, be careful, disasters will continue in the future, and bad luck is hard to come by!"
An old Taoist jumped out and yelled at him sharply.
This person is the current owner of the squatter house, and now seeing the palace lord, he couldn't stop him, so he suddenly felt bad and immediately came forward.
"Get out!" The second master of the Black Ten Sect at this time, Bapin Fuluo, took a step forward, holding lightning with his right palm towards him.
Snapped.
As if struck by lightning, the old Taoist took several steps back, and there was already a black handprint on his arm.
"Cultivate Buddhist Mahamudra as well! Good, good!!" The old Taoist's face was livid, and the Black Ten Sect is famous for its sword skills, but he lost to the opponent in his kung fu.
If this is said, he will have no face to speak of in the arena in the future.
"Whoever dares to stop, don't blame me for being cruel." The Snake King stared at Chen Zhinian.
"Also, if you want to report to an official, go ahead."
After finishing speaking, he led people to quickly push away a large group of Taoists in the Palace of Mirrors, and started to inspect one by one along the temple.
On the surface, it seemed that he was really looking for the murderer, but in fact, he had received news before.
The dense scriptures and silks have been sent to other places.
And it is very likely that there are manuscripts with scriptures here.
So it is false that he brought people here to search, and it is true to look for possible manuscripts.
The masters of the Black Ten Sect are almost out in force this time.
With him as the head, behind him is the new altar master of the Shinto altar, Fu Luo.
Fucheng swordsman Huo Hengdong, sand lover Li Zicheng.
Fu Luo is the real eighth grade. The other two are seventh-rank.
In addition, there are many low-level masters of the Black Ten Sect, and dozens of elite believers.
Such a force, in the entire Tanyang City, even if Sun Du personally took action, it would be impossible to counteract it without mobilizing the real garrison.
Under the watchful eyes of the Taoists of Mingjing Palace who dared not speak out, the group quickly began to search the entire Taoist palace.
The Snake King took the lead, and after asking about Zhang Ying's residence, he rushed straight in that direction.
Halfway through, he suddenly raised his bare hands.
A dart flew out and accurately hit a red bird passing by in mid-air.
The little bird landed with a slap, struggled, and stopped moving.
Xue Jinghao bent down to pick up the little red bird, and removed the bamboo tube from its leg.
"The bamboo tube for sending messages in the Golden Wing Tower."
He casually threw the bamboo pipe to the people behind him.
"Special envoy, don't you want to take a look?" The swordsman Huo Hengdong was one of the two who had besieged and killed Zhang Rongfang before.
They are controlled by the sect. If they can complete the task this time, they can redeem their merits and get free.
"No, this thing is all code words, except for the insiders of the Golden Wing Building, the rest can't understand."
Fu Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction the little red bird was flying from.
"It's from over there."
Several people spread out, keeping a distance suitable for shooting. Walk quickly in that direction.
Chen Zhinian and other senior officials of the Palace of Mirrors followed closely behind. Monitor their every move.
A powerful master like the Snake King may cause great damage once he decides to do anything.
They followed behind, although they were powerless to stop them, but anyway, their official positions could prevent the other party from being too presumptuous.
Not long after, a group of people came to the courtyard where Zhang Rongfang lived.
"right here!"
Boom!
The gate of the courtyard was severely hacked by a scimitar cultist, and he opened the door to enter.
The high-ranking members of the Palace of Mirrors behind them saw their blood pressure rising, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
Behind the Black Ten Sect is the state governor's platform. If it weren't for this, so what if the Snake King is super? Could it be that he really dared to stand against Lingting?
It is precisely because of Sun Du's support that he dares to be so rampant.
"The red bird that sent the message just now flew here, search for me! Start from this yard, and search all the yards in this direction!"
The Snake King said in a deep voice.
He received news that the scriptures and silk had been taken by the Golden Wing Tower and sent back to Fucheng.
So now the only way to do meritorious service is to quickly take down the possible manuscripts of the secret volume.
According to the message from the mysterious person, Zhang Ying is probably Bai Ying's relative.
After combining Hei Shijiao's own intelligence analysis, Snake King and several other high-level officials were convinced that there was indeed something wrong with this photo.
And the person who summoned them probably wanted to use their power to investigate this picture.
But the Snake King doesn't care. Today's Tan Yangcheng, with his own strength combined with Sun Du, who else can compete? Who dares to contend?
Those who dare to obstruct, people will block and kill people, and Buddhas will block and kill Buddhas!
In addition, after combining his own information from the previous Black Ten Sect, he found that Zhang Ying was extremely suspicious, and immediately led a team to the Dao Palace to arrest him.
"Wait! This is the residence of the owner of my Taoist Palace, and you just broke in like this? Who are you!?"
On one side, a thin old man was walking towards the yard with a basket of wine and vegetables.
This person is just one of the Taoists.
He came to see Zhang Rongfang today because he wanted to discuss with him the detailed understanding of Guanxu Gong.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I came out, I saw this group of people rushing into Zhang Rongfang's yard in a fierce manner.
"Junior Brother Xu Yi!" Chen Zhinian hurried forward, trying to stop him.
But it was too late.
Fu Luo, the master of the Shinto Dharma altar, snorted coldly, and stepped forward, his body was short, and he rushed towards Xu Yi in an instant.
He didn't hold back at all, the speed and strength of the eighth rank burst out with all his strength, which was not comparable to that of Taoist Xu who was only at the sixth rank.
Boom!
The two hurriedly exchanged a move.
The food and drink in Xu Yi's hand fell to the ground, and he even retreated more than ten steps, finally he stood on his feet with the support of two martial artists.
He looked at the redness of his hands.
If he hadn't used the limit-breaking technique in time just now, I'm afraid that instead of being slightly injured, he would vomit blood and fall to the ground.
"You, you.!?" Xu's face turned red, his blood was blocked for a while, and he couldn't flow smoothly at all, and he was so angry that he got stuck in his throat and couldn't move.
"What me?" Fu Luo chuckled lightly, "If you can't find the murderer today, I'll take the lives of other people in your Mirror Palace!"
"Anyway, the rebellious army just disbanded nearby, and it has nothing to do with me and others who sneaked into Tanyang City to cause chaos."
A group of people suddenly turned pale and dared not say a word.
Snake King Xue Jinghao didn't change his face, walked past him, pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door and walked in.
It was only when he entered the door that his pupils shrank.
In the courtyard that was supposed to be vacant, at this moment, a person appeared unexpectedly.
With their backs to them, the figure stood in the middle, with white hair draped over his shoulders, and a silver mask on his face.
hiss.
Two pure white short swords slipped into this person's palm.
"Silver-faced Cicada!!!?" Snake King's whole body tensed up. He was also a super-grade, so he naturally knew the real horror of the Silver-faced Cicada.
This person is known as the top player who is most likely to approach that level in the past ten years.
"Why are you here!?" The Snake King stepped back slightly, quietly letting Fu Luo and the others protrude in front of him.
"It's just a transaction." The silver-faced cicada turned around, her handsome face with half of the mask uncovered was like a statue, with perfect proportions, not like a real person.
With confused eyes, he stared at Snake King and his party.
"You guys, is there anyone who really treats you well?"
A group of people were slightly silent, with fear in their eyes.
Counting breaths silently, one of them spoke suddenly.
"I've heard of your name a long time ago, but you are just a lunatic. There are so many of us here, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Fu Luo snorted coldly, took a step forward, quietly clenched an explosive poison powder ball in his sleeve.
The other two also entered the courtyard from the side, half surrounding the silver-faced cicada.
Three people, one of eighth rank and two of seventh rank, all staring at him at the same time.
The Snake King settled down a little, holding the short sword in his hand.
With so many people, he couldn't believe it.
Swish!
In an instant, a figure appeared in front of him.
It is the silver-faced cicada!
In an instant, white hair brushed his face, and daggers crisscrossed.
Clang! !
The two short swords collided, bringing out dazzling sparks.
The silver-faced cicada turned over and jumped up in mid-air, with an incredibly soft body, passing through the gap between the three weapons.
The two swords in his hands were like real cicada wings. The moment they passed the Snake King, they vibrated at high speed and turned into two phantoms like cicada wings.
The phantom is fleeting.
Several streams of blood gushed out from the Snake King's body at the same time.
In just an instant, he declared a serious injury.
Without hesitation, he turned around and ran.
None of these lunatics who pursue the extreme are easy to mess with!
He was in severe pain, and without turning his head, he ran wildly into the distance. As for the Black Ten Cultists and others behind him, they are no longer within his concern.
A series of screams came from behind.
The figure of the silver-faced cicada is not fast, but it has an extreme precision.
No matter what kind of attack he faces, he can dodge it with incomparable precision.
No one can touch him.
But each of his swords can easily pierce a person's vitals.
