Chapter 492: Destroying the Daobailang Kingdom
A huge black lotus slowly unfolded, and a naked young man walked out of it. He looked around, and suddenly he was wearing a black robe.
This person's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were sinister, mixed with fear and anger.
Judging from his face, it was Hei Lanzi, the disciple of Master Zigong.
At this time, Master Zigong was waiting on the shore in front of the Lotus Lake with his other disciple, Pi Yanzi, and they also had gloomy expressions.
"Master..." When he saw Master Zigong, Hei Lanzi called out aggrievedly.
"Yeah." Master Zigong nodded slightly.
"As a disciple of the ancient rare species Three-eyed Demonic Orchid, the three life seeds are extremely important. This time one is missing, which is really an unexpected disaster! Master, please make the decision for me!" Hei Lanzi knelt on the ground and said sadly.
Master Zigong remained silent for a while.
Seeing this, Pi Yanzi whispered, "Brother, you're lucky to be back. Didn't you see how Li Chu broke through the Tianyuan Labyrinth? With that level of cultivation... it's really tricky."
Hei Lan Zi also heard the hidden meaning in his words.
Stop talking, it's annoying...
The idea is difficult and Master is no match for you. What do you want Master to do for you?
So Hei Lanzi quickly got up again. If she said any more at this time, it would embarrass her master.
Seeing that the two disciples were standing obediently on the side, Master Zigong looked over with satisfaction and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will never allow my disciples to suffer any loss. Moreover... I can't let anyone with a predestined relationship with the immortal go. But that little Taoist priest is really powerful, so we still have to make a long-term plan."
"Master is right." Hei Lanzi replied.
But after a pause, he still couldn't help asking, "But the person who left this time must have made them more defensive. How should they act next time to get a chance..."
"Brother, before you were resurrected, I had already made a suggestion to Master." Pi Yanzi said, "Didn't we investigate earlier? Their destination is Bailang Country. We originally wanted to intercept the immortals before they arrived in Bailang Country. Since we failed, we might as well make arrangements in Bailang Country."
"Bai Lang Country?" Hei Lanzi hesitated for a moment. "Now that Bai Lang Country is torn apart and the situation is complicated, it is possible that they could take advantage of the chaos..."
"That's right." Master Zigong said, "Master has decided that this matter will still be fully handled by you two brothers. All forces of the Yiyao Sect in Bailang Country will obey your command."
"Are you still going to let me go?" Hei Lan Zi seemed to be still in shock. She raised her head and wanted to say something.
Suddenly, he saw the gaze of Master Zigong staring at him, "Why, you don't want to?"
"No, no, no..." Hei Lanzi lowered his head quickly and said, "It's just that I messed up this time. I didn't expect that Master would still be willing to entrust me with such an important task. I will definitely go all out and live up to Master's trust!"
"Very good." Master Zigong nodded with satisfaction.
But Hei Lan Zi couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart.
Why are you glaring at me? If you are so powerful, why don’t you glare at the little Taoist priest?
…
"A-choo."
Li Chu sneezed lightly.
"Master, what's wrong?" Dulanke on the side hurried forward to show concern.
"It's okay." Li Chu shook his head.
"The wind in Bailang Country is a bit cold. You have been busy and tired recently. You should be careful and don't catch a cold." Yu Qian'an in front also said with concern.
"Yes, yes." Wang Longqi also said from behind: "It doesn't matter who gets in trouble, but Li Chu, you can't get sick."
This show of concern and concern seemed to show that after what happened in Jinque Kingdom and Xilan Village, everyone had a deep understanding of the importance of Li Chu.
At this moment, several people just got off their mounts and let it go back to Jinque Kingdom. The big bird flapped its wings and happily left the group of dangerous passengers who always wanted to eat barbecue.
And in front of us, a huge white city is right in front of us.
That is the capital of Bailang Kingdom, Garuru City.
Bailang is indeed a great country in the Western Regions. Even though it had just experienced war some time ago, there were still a lot of cars and people outside the capital. Like other cities in the Western Regions, most of them were merchants traveling from all directions.
But not far outside the city, there was another eye-catching team.
The reason why it attracts people's attention is that the main body of this team is wearing Taoist robes. There are actually hundreds of Taoists in tattered clothes, all of them are dishevelled and have gray faces. They are pushing or carrying bricks, stones, huge trees and other things.
On the outer edge of the team were a dozen monks holding whips, staffs and other weapons. Whenever they found a Taoist priest slacking off in the team, they would immediately rush forward and start beating him fiercely.
"What's this for?" Old Du saw this scene and muttered quietly, "Are the Taoist priests of Bailang Country so lowly?"
"I remember that Taoism was the state religion of the Bailang Kingdom back then. I don't know what's going on." Yu Qian'an shook his head slightly.
The master and his disciples didn't say a word. As they were about to enter the city gate, they felt that the people around them were looking at them in a very strange way. They originally thought it was because of Li Chu, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Who knew that just as they were about to enter the city gate, someone suddenly shouted, "Three Taoists have escaped!"
The soldiers at the city gate immediately noticed this place, and suddenly a team of twenty or thirty soldiers rushed out and surrounded the master and his disciples in a blink of an eye.
"In broad daylight, there are still Taoists who dare to walk on the street openly! Catch them!" the leading general shouted.
"No...what is this for?"
Dulanke was very surprised, but the situation was critical. If the situation was allowed to continue, casualties would inevitably occur...referring to the Bailang soldiers who rushed up.
So Lao Du promptly took out the imperial edict given by Empress Mingyan and shouted loudly: "We are envoys from the Kingdom of Jinque! We are here to meet the King of Bailang! What do you want to do?"
"stop."
The leading general raised his hand to stop the soldiers. At the same time, he frowned and looked at the edict in Lao Du's hand. After a few glances, he found that it was indeed a letter from the Jinque Kingdom.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The Golden Kingdom is separated from this place by the yellow sand, and we have no access to news. It is possible that they do not know what is happening in our country recently. In this case, you can follow me into the city."
After that, he led a group of soldiers around a few people and led them into the main street of the capital.
Along the way, the master and his disciples looked around, and the passers-by looked at them with some strangeness. Yu Qian'an winked, and Lao Du stepped forward to ask: "General, why don't we allow Taoist priests to go out on the streets in Bailang Country?"
"Because the king has ordered that all Taoists in Bailang must be imprisoned as laborers for the construction of the Star Bead Tower. If you walk on the street, you will inevitably be mistaken for fugitives from the Star Bead Tower." The general's expression showed some embarrassment, "As for why we want to arrest Taoists..."
"That's a long story."
