"Director of the Demon Suppression Department? It seems that he hasn't appeared for three years. Why are you asking this?"

"Is this true?!"

"Master Wang, this is indeed true. This is what we found out in the Demon Suppression Division!"

".So, in that incident, the superiors did behave a little strangely, but later on, because of the matter of the Immortal Lord, I went to ask Master for help, and I didn't notice it."

"I see. Could it be that the mountain temple is related to some great secret?"

"So, you broke into the palace just to investigate?"

A desolate forest outside the palace.

Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Guoying looked somewhat embarrassed. They just stayed where they were, looking like they had been caught doing something bad.

At the same time,

Wang Zhongguan stood in front of them, a thoughtful look on his face.

The three of them gathered here.

But it was because of an accident.

Since he obtained the immortal method a few years ago and turned to the immortal way with his master Taoist Fu Shou, Wang Zhongguan did not leave Nanchuan County, but began a journey of running around and solving various strange problems in the world.

Later, by chance, because of some things and some human factors, he became the captain of the imperial guard.

The main job is to patrol and guard to prevent those immortal cultivators from entering and leaving the palace at will and posing a threat to the emperor's life.

This has been an agreement for some time.

He will take his leave as soon as the royal family has trained their own cultivators to protect them.

However, before Wang Zhongguan finished guarding and resigning, Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Guoying used their magic to sneak into the palace, but they were caught by Wang Zhongguan.

Wang Zhongguan knew Zhao Wenxuan.

During the strange mountain temple incident that broke out in Nanchuan County,

It was because Zhao Dayong carried him on his back for a while and delayed for a while that Yang Qingyun finally arrived and saved his life.

In a sense, Zhao Dayong is also one of Wang Zhongguan's saviors.

He was not an ungrateful person. After that incident, he personally visited Zhao Dayong's orphan, and after he mastered the immortal arts, he took good care of Zhao Dayong's son Zhao Wenxuan.

That is why,

Both of them know each other.

Therefore, when Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Guoying broke into the palace with their unskilled magic and were discovered by Wang Zhongguan, Wang Zhongguan did not alarm anyone, but directly brought them out of the palace, came here, and asked about their situation.

"Master, after my father disappeared, my mother became ill from missing him and passed away not long after."

"I just want to find out the truth now, so as to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven."

"Please be lenient, senior!"

Zhao Wenxuan bowed towards Wang Zhongguan and spoke earnestly.

"Wenxuan, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony!"

Wang Zhongguan quickly helped him up with both hands.

His expression changed for a moment and he sighed in his heart.

"Brother Zhao saved my life back then, so I can't just sit back and watch this happen."

He thought for a moment and continued.

"However, there are so many talented people in this world, and I am not the only cultivator guarding the palace."

"You should know that the capital city, apart from Nanchuan, has the largest number of immortal cultivators. With the prestige of the imperial court, it is not difficult to gather a team of immortal cultivators to patrol and guard."

"In addition to the immortal cultivators, there are also some top-level ghost controllers in the deepest part of the palace!"

"It's not easy to sneak into the palace and find the secrets in the secret vault. It requires careful planning."

"Thank you for your help, Master. With your help, we will surely succeed!"

Zhao Wenxuan also showed gratitude on his face.

"There is no such thing as 100% certainty in this world. I can only do my best."

Wang Zhongguan shook his head.

"Seven days later, the imperial court will hold a lecture to debate the merits of immortal cultivators and ghost controllers."

"This time it's about the power struggle between immortal cultivators and ghost encounterers in the upper echelons of the imperial court. Not only will His Majesty be here in person, but forces from all sides will also gather here."

"Recently, big figures from the top forces in the once strange world, such as Wujimen, have appeared in the capital."

"At that time, the defense within the palace will be at its weakest."

"Then it's time for you to act."

Wang Zhongguan gave a brief explanation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But this is not the place for detailed planning.

He just mentioned it briefly and then let them leave.

I'll go back to them in the evening to complete the plan.

After all, although there are few people in the imperial city who can rival Wang Zhongguan in strength, he is ultimately responsible for patrolling and guarding the imperial palace, and he cannot disappear for too long.

So before long,

The three of them dispersed as soon as possible according to the time and place.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Wang Zhongguan used his position to secretly collect more intelligence and make more detailed plans.

When the plan was completed, both Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Guoying felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

Because the security of the palace was so tight that it was far beyond their imagination!

There are not only patrol teams composed of immortal cultivators inside the imperial city, but also ghost controllers exist deeper in the city!

At this time when the spread of immortal arts is sweeping the world, those who have not turned to practicing immortal arts have basically opened up extremely terrifying existences in the ghost realm!

Moreover, these people all have extremely close ties with the Wuji Sect, the Underworld Yama, the Xuanyuan Family and other major forces in the strange world! According to Wang Zhongguan's guess, it is very likely that they are ancient beings awakened by the top major forces in the strange world! As for why those old guys were guarding deep in the palace, even Wang Zhongguan had not found out.

I'm afraid there are deep secrets hidden in it.

After learning about this, both of them felt fortunate.

Fortunately, they met Wang Zhongguan when they tried to break into the imperial city last time, otherwise they would be dead!

"The imperial lecture seems to have begun!"

In an inconspicuous corner of the imperial city, Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Guoying were wearing night clothes, hiding in the shadows to avoid the sight of the patrolling guards on the city wall.

They looked somewhere.

In that direction, there were bursts of aura that spread along with the vibration of the ground, allowing them to clearly sense it even though they were not close by.

"At this time, most of the forces deep in the imperial city should be transferred to the Imperial Lecture Hall to protect the emperor!"

"Then let's get going!"

Without much hesitation, Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Guoying used their magic skills. At this moment, their figures seemed to lose their color and become translucent.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

The figure was as light as a feather, flying towards the depths of the imperial city.
