Chapter 21 That Woman
The imperial palace of the Xiahou Dynasty was much more magnificent than the imperial palaces of other countries.
But in Chaoge City, the tallest building is not the imperial palace, but the Taoist Alliance stationed in Cambrian Country——
Jiandao Palace.
Jiandao Palace is a branch of Tiandao Palace of Daomeng.
The Taoist Alliance relies on the Taoist Palaces distributed in various countries of the Tianyuan Continent to support the imperial power with talismans and spiritual tools, arm the army, check and balance and gradually control the sects of various countries, and maintain the authority of the Taoist Alliance.
Twenty years ago, in Cambrian Country, the Taoist Alliance's balancing tactics triggered a war between the Xueyan Sect and the Xiahou Dynasty.
This protracted and costly war between the clan countries finally ended with the three patrol ships of the Taoist Alliance headquarters arriving in the Cambrian Kingdom.
By mediating peace talks, cleaning up the mess, and promoting Tianyuan Taoist laws, the Taoist Alliance finally took control of the Cambrian Kingdom at a very small cost.
The same story happens in almost every country in Tianyuan Continent.
Only a very small number of countries and sects can escape and become enemies of the Taoist Alliance.
The Jiandao Palace of the Cambrian State was located on the Huangyan Mountain to the north of the city of Chaoge.
This is a tower palace embedded in the mountain.
Pines and maples are planted on the walls of the tower, and the pillars and pavilions are coiled around the rocks. They are inlaid with each other and blend into one, looking majestic and ethereal, as if they are not on earth.
The tower body is cast from dark iron and is dark black in color. It is engraved with the sword and cloud emblem of the Taoist Alliance with five distinct corners. It is hundreds of feet high and looks like a sword inserted upside down in the middle of a mountain.
It is magnificent and majestic, with an irresistible pressure, as if facing the vast law of heaven, giving people a sense of justice that treats all things in the world equally.
On the top of the Jiandao Palace, there are five giant swords suspended in the air horizontally on the same plane, with the sword tips facing inwards, surrounded by purple light, and facing each other in a pentagonal formation, forming a five-element teleportation formation that can directly reach the Taoist Alliance headquarters, Tiandao Palace or other Jiandao Palaces.
The highest official in the Jiandao Palace was the Jiandao Envoy.
Below them are the Lord Supervisor of the Sect and the Lord Supervisor of the State, who are responsible for supervising the sect and the dynasty respectively.
As the strongest sect in Cambrian Country, Xueyan Sect is also under the jurisdiction of Jianzong.
The second top floor of the tower palace.
A window-side flat.
On a purple jade table more than ten feet long, a tall, slightly fat, middle-aged man with a slight beard, wearing a black robe with a sword-like shape, and with a very imposing aura, was eating a wife cake.
It was the legendary Lord Jianzong who had always coveted the beauty of the elder.
Qishan.
It's not really coveted.
The Taoist Alliance had a mission for him to find a way to marry Yu Hu Zhenren, the alchemy elder of the Xue Yan Sect, and learn about her research trends on the fusion of demons and monsters.
The Qi family is a famous family in Tianyuan City.
He even reached the Nascent Soul stage at a young age and became the head of a country.
I thought that with such conditions, marrying an alchemy elder should be easy.
As a result, this Yuhu Zhenren didn't give any face at all!
He even thought it was a problem with his appearance.
So she secretly found a few handsome young men to get close to her, but they were all kicked out.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
But now, not only can he not ask for marriage, but he can't marry another woman because he hasn't completed the mission of the Taoist Alliance...
I can only eat wife cakes at home every day.
His resentment grew day by day and gradually turned into anger.
Just when he was about to put aside his pride and use his tricks to deal with Master Yu Hu, he suddenly heard the news that Master Yu Hu was looking for a partner...
The other party is a servant.
The cultivation is fetal breathing.
He almost killed Xueyan Zong on the spot.
After thinking about it, it would be better to assassinate him since he represents the image of the Taoist Alliance.
This move is not only a personal grudge, but also a supervisory mission of the Taoist Alliance.
Boom boom boom——
Someone knocks on the door.
He raised his hand and threw the wife cake out of the window, then Qi Shan wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.
"Come in."
The double door was pushed open with a creaking sound.
A short, dark-faced supervisor of the Dao League walked in respectfully.
"Master Jianzong."
Qi Shan looked calm and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Is this news from the Xueyan Sect?"
The black-faced supervisor said, "The mission to assassinate Yu Hu Dao Lu has failed. Ma Xianchao has lost contact with Mr. Lun Wang for a whole day. I'm afraid he is in danger now."
The tea in his mouth suddenly lost its fragrance. Qi Shan suppressed his anger and questioned:
"You can't even kill a servant?"
The dark-faced supervisor said, "Princess Muyun seemed to be secretly helping the servant. As for the horse king and the other two... I'm not sure if they were killed by the princess."
Suddenly remembering something, Qi Shan asked nervously:
"Before the two died, the Word Spirit Curse was broken?"
The dark-faced supervisor said, "That's not the case. Judging from the spiritual pressure records, it seems that he was killed instantly..."
"It's good that it's not exposed."
Qi Shan heaved a sigh of relief, then drank the tea that was brought to his mouth. After finishing the tea, he added another sentence.
“The Dao League will be grateful for their dedication.”
The black-faced supervisor asked, "Next, should we let stronger people continue the mission?"
"That's all."
Qi Shan waved his hand and said, "The Xueyan Sect will have a lot of trouble in the future, so keep more useful people... This Chun Xiaozi is really too unruly. Don't forget how the Dao League trained him back then. After becoming the leader, he is disloyal and disobeys discipline. If he could be obedient, we wouldn't be so passive in this matter."
The stern-faced supervisor didn't listen carefully and quickly brought the topic back to where it had strayed.
"It seems that Master Yu Hu attaches great importance to this errand boy. Could it be that he has some outstanding qualities?"
"Ahem."
Qi Shan coughed a few times with an ugly expression.
The black-faced supervisor analyzed:
"Could it be that, as the legend says, Immortal Jade Pot is conducting an experiment to fuse demons, and this servant with the five elements is her experimental subject?"
Only then did Qi Shan nod seriously.
“Good analysis.”
The black-faced supervisor said again:
"If this is true, the demon and monster tribes will definitely keep an eye on her, and the Xueyan Sect may not be at peace in the near future."
"The Dao League fears the most that the world will never be at peace. As for this servant... I will go and see him in person in three days."
Qi Shan felt that the opportunity to make a contribution was coming.
Suddenly, he remembered something important.
"By the way, pass on the order that the news of Master Yu Hu's finding a lover must not be passed to this palace's prison."
Black-faced supervisor:
"You mean ..."
"Have you forgotten how the war ended?"
Qi Shan stood up and his eyes suddenly became serious.
"If that woman knew about this, she would definitely escape from prison and kill Xiao Bai!"
