Yunfu market.
As Shen Yuan ordered the gods to go to the center of the Yunfu Mountains, all information about what happened here quickly spread to the entire Daxia.
The forces of the Zhennan Marquisate, the Imperial Observatory, and various major sects were quickly mobilized at the first opportunity to try to track down Shen Yuan's true identity.
At the trading venue, Yu Yan, deputy commander of the Imperial Observatory, suddenly realized that in box No. 5, besides Shen Yuan, there was another person responsible for bidding.
So he hurried to Box No. 5, trying to find the man's trace.
But when he arrived at Box No. 5, it was already empty, but he unexpectedly ran into a group of people from the Tianjiao Club who had just arrived there.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Yu Yan's expression turned slightly cold and he scolded.
Yu Yan's side only has three Qi Transformation Realm cultivators, and their strength is far inferior to the more than 30 Qi Transformation Realm powerhouses on the side of the Tianjiao Association.
The Tianjiao Society and others were preparing to reprimand him, but after seeing the mark of the Imperial Observatory in front of Yu Yan, they couldn't help but feel a little weak in their hearts, and swallowed back the words they were about to reprimand.
The Imperial Observatory is the most powerful spiritual force in the imperial court of Great Xia. The cabinet and military honors have tried to restrict the Imperial Observatory many times, but all failed due to the obstruction of Emperor Xia.
There are many children of powerful people in the Tianjiao Society, but precisely because their fathers hold high positions, they dare not offend the Imperial Observatory easily.
The Imperial Observatory monitors not only matters of spiritual practice, but also the discipline and corruption of officials and nobles. If you rashly provoke them, it is likely to bring disaster.
Wen Ya stood out from the crowd, bowed slightly to Yu Yan, and then said:
"We are from the Tianjiao Society, and we are here just to find a friend."
"Tianjiao Club?"
Yu Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. As the deputy commander of the Imperial Observatory, he was naturally aware of the background of the Tianjiao Society. His expression softened slightly and he said:
"Is your friend the one who bid the price in the No. 5 box? Do you know his true identity?"
Before Wen Ya could speak, Li Han on the side said quickly:
"Our friend's name is Xue Mingzhi, and there is another person traveling with him."
Before he could finish his words, a powerful aura suddenly approached from the sky outside Yunfu City at a very fast speed, and arrived above Yunfu City almost instantly.
Without any pause, the powerful aura broke into the trade fair venue and appeared at the door of box number five.
The visitor was none other than Mo Li, the contemporary prodigy of Laojun Mountain and the holder of the sect's spiritual treasure, the Sancai Hunyuan Ding.
As soon as Mo Li arrived, he unreservedly pressed down the pressure of his Qi training realm on everyone present. His eyes swept over the Tianjiao Association and Yu Yan and asked:
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Mo Li coming to the market from afar, Yan Xiao hurriedly came forward to greet him and said:
"Yan Xiao meets Senior Brother!"
"This is the box where the God King appeared. They all seem to be looking for another person in the God King's box."
Mo Li frowned and stared at the people from Tianjiao Club and others, especially Li Han who was standing at the front.
"Do you know the identity of that person?"
Being stared at by a Qigong master, Li Han's mind tensed up and he stammered:
"He, his name is Xue Mingzhi, the son of the eldest son of the Xue family in the imperial capital. The gentleman who was traveling with him seemed to be surnamed Shen."
"The surname is Shen!" Mo Li's expression changed, as if he had thought of something important.
Then Mo Li said to everyone in a deep voice:
“The matter concerning that person is of great importance, and no one is allowed to leave until it is thoroughly investigated.
As a price, Laojun Mountain will provide you with a cultivation environment with the richest spiritual energy and the best cultivation-aiding elixirs."
Some people in the Tianjiao Club looked surprised, some looked angry, and Yu Yan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Observatory, spoke bluntly:
"Do you Laojun Mountain want to detain us?"
Mo Li just glanced at Yu Yan indifferently, as if he didn't take the deputy commander of the Imperial Observatory seriously.
"This is not a discussion, but a notice from Laojun Mountain. If you break the rules, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
Yu Yan was furious, but Laojun Mountain, as one of the most powerful sects in the world, really did not give face to the Imperial Observatory. He, a mere deputy commander of the Yunzhou Imperial Observatory, really had no way to deal with the other party.
But at this moment, Wen Ya spoke.
She said softly to Mo Li in a gentle manner:
"I can understand your urgency about this matter, but this move directly detains so many practitioners. Once implemented, it will inevitably bring disaster to Laojun Mountain. I hope you will think twice."
Seeing that Mo Li was unmoved, Wen Ya continued to add:
"Your Excellency is insisting on your own way. Fellow Daoist Gong of your sect may be dissatisfied."
Mo Li, who had remained unmoved until now, suddenly had his pupils shrink when he heard these words.
"Gong, do you know her?"
Wen Ya nodded and said softly:
"I have met her several times before, and the box at the Yunfu Trade Fair this time was reserved for me by her."
Mo Li fell into silence, and at this moment an undisguised powerful aura rushed from the east.
Everyone immediately looked up at the sky and discovered that the powerful aura was actually from a huge white crane, whose cultivation had actually reached the Qi training stage.
And on the white crane, it seemed to be carrying a person.
Almost in an instant, the white crane arrived above the Yunfu market, and then a huge body jumped off the white crane, and fell heavily on the ground like the burly body of the legendary mandrill.
The ground of the ruins collapsed, but the figure that fell from hundreds of meters high walked out of the ruins without any damage.
He was wearing clothes made of white tiger skin, and the shoulder guard on his right shoulder was a lifelike huge tiger head. The aura surging around him showed that he had reached the level of Qi training.
All eyes looking at this figure seemed to see a living white tiger walking out of the ruins, and its majesty was breathtaking.
"White Tiger Envoy!" The moment the floating cloud crane appeared, Mo Li recognized the other party's identity. He was one of the four envoys of the Imperial Observatory, the White Tiger Envoy who had the authority to supervise all states and was in charge of the Criminal Court.
He could ignore Yu Yan, the deputy envoy, but he could not ignore the four great envoys in front of him, because the meanings represented by both sides were completely different.
What's more, the White Tiger Envoy is said to possess several mysterious magical powers and has spiritual treasures bestowed by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. His strength may not be inferior to his.
The White Tiger moved his arms and said in a rough voice full of complaints:
"You are such a fool, old man. I am not going to meet the immortal in person, but he wants me to come in person to deal with a small matter."
Mo Li felt a sudden surge of pressure. The storage ring on his right hand flashed, and the Three Talents Hunyuan Cauldron was already floating above his right hand. He looked at the White Tiger Envoy with a look of seriousness.
The White Tiger snorted coldly and said unhappily:
“Although I really want to fight with you, the old man has given me other tasks today, and I don’t want to waste time here with you.
I came here just to tell the old man, don't rashly use these to explore the true identity of that person. If something unexpected happens, even Laojun Mountain behind you can't bear it. "
Mo Li stared at the White Tiger Envoy with a serious gaze, and was not shaken at all by his words.
Seeing Mo Li's attitude, the White Tiger Envoy covered his head helplessly:
"Sure enough, what the old man said is right. The people in Laojun Mountain are all stubborn and can't be persuaded with just a few words."
Sighing, the White Tiger Envoy continued:
“The old man asked me to tell you that if you really want to know the true identity of that person, go to Rongcheng Dayutian and dig out the coffin buried under the Taiyin Jade Pillar.
Then give the storage ring you got to the one in the coffin, and all the answers will become clear."
Mo Li's pupils suddenly contracted, his face full of horror, the magic power in his body circulated, and the Sancai Hunyuan Ding in his hand seemed to be able to manifest the power of the spiritual treasure at any time.
It is not surprising that the people from the Imperial Observatory knew about Rongcheng Dayutian, but it is actually the people from the Imperial Observatory who knew about the Taiyin Jade Pillar and knew clearly that there was a coffin buried under the Taiyin Jade Pillar.
The things involved here are enough to trigger a large-scale purge of internal traitors within Laojun Mountain. It is not impossible that several real people will die by then.
The White Tiger Envoy looked at Mo Li's nervous expression and said with a disdainful smile:
"Don't worry, we at the Imperial Observatory have no intention of planting a spy in your cave.
The identity of the person under the Taiyin Jade Pillar was told to me by Gu Lao, the book fairy from Langhuan Blessed Land. You can't hide your little things from Gu Lao at all."
“The reason I told you this is just because I wanted to take this opportunity to confirm some things.
After all, in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, the only person who is suitable for contact with immortals is probably the one under the Taiyin Jade Pillar. "
Langhuan blessed land, inside Shuxian Pavilion.
Gu Lao held the scroll in his hand, looked at the Imperial Observatory who was drinking tea and playing chess with himself, and asked:
"Are you sure you're only going to send that reckless kid to handle the Yunfu Mountains incident this time, instead of going there yourself to check it out?"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Observatory subconsciously touched his eyes. The remaining pain from the sharp golden light seemed to still exist.
Thinking back to the Dragon King Temple, he accidentally glimpsed the dream from ten thousand years ago and got a response from Shen Yuan. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory shook his head slightly and said:
“I have already met that person. Even though it may have been a glance that spanned thousands of years, I still received a warning from that person.
It is disrespectful to repeatedly track down his whereabouts, so let the younger generation handle these matters."
Gu Lao sneered disdainfully: "You are free now."
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory was stroking his beard and continued to place chess pieces on the chessboard.
“After learning from Gu Lao that Kuang Tianjie had died a few days ago and the aura of the Great Sun True Flame Sword appeared in the Yunfu Mountains, I guessed that the person who made the move should be the Supreme Taoist.
Although Kuang Tianjie was a giant in the demonic world, he was nothing compared to that Supreme Taoist Son. His death was completely expected.
Compared to this, I am more curious about the true purpose of that Taoist, is it really just Kuang Tianjie?"
The sneer on Gu Lao's face disappeared, and he asked with a slightly serious look:
"What did you find?"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory continued, "According to the information sent by Yu Yan, the deputy governor of Yunzhou, the mountain gods in the Yunfu Mountains once called the Supreme Taoist the Lord of God, and the Supreme Taoist also mastered the means to command the gods.
This makes me suspect that the Supreme Daoist is pretending to be a certain God in order to achieve some purpose."
Gu La's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the pages of the book "Sui Gu" turned, and then stopped at one of the pages.
"The five people, Baolian Daojun, Kuang Tianjie, Donghuang Shenjun, Shan'e Xian, and Ku Rong Luohan, joined forces to start a demon rebellion that affected a wide range of people.
During the turmoil, the Taoist Master Baolian and the Immortal of Good and Evil died. A hundred years later, the Lord of the East was suppressed by a powerful earthly immortal from an unknown sect, and the East Huang God system was destroyed in an instant. "
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory pointed at the "Unknown Sect" on the page and said with a smile: "Does it look familiar?"
The ancients were silent.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said meaningfully: "Among the five main culprits of the demon rebellion, except for the Taoist Master Baolian and the Good and Evil Immortal who died on the spot.
Among the other three, Donghuang Divine Sovereign was suppressed by the sect where Wushang Daozi was, and Kuang Tianjie was also killed by Daozi. Now Daozi is pretending to be Divine Sovereign and appeared in the Yunfu Mountains. Who is he plotting against?"
As the words fell, the last chess piece fell into Tianyuan's position.
The chess pieces on the board crisscrossed and formed four large characters.
Kurong Zen Temple!
