Chapter 105 Why is the magic power out of her control? Preparations for the cuckoo's nest
"Did you finally swallow it?"
In the side hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The sky was full of rosy clouds, and Jiang Lan sat cross-legged in the familiar bronze cauldron.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something, and his slightly closed eyes opened, revealing a strange look.
That Zhenzhen Guixi Pill is not so easy to swallow. The more happy Xie Jianjia is now, the more likely she will cry later.
He was calm and didn't pay any more attention to the matter. Things had developed exactly as he expected.
Now he just needs to wait patiently and harvest the prey.
There was a boiling sound inside the cauldron. If someone got close to Jiang Lan's body now, they would be able to hear the roaring sound coming from his body.
Every meridian is like a fairyland leading to heaven, with rivers and oceans surging through it, covered by dense fairy mist, shining brightly and looking very sacred.
The medicinal power permeated the air, completely covering his jade-like white and translucent skin, and his black hair fluttered, half submerged in it.
In the hall, there was a hazy atmosphere, and one could see rune fragments flashing in the air one after another.
Each rune fragment contained a very deep imprint of magical power, as if there was an ancient ferocious beast in it, roaring ferociously, and the divine light was shining, blazing and dazzling, constantly sinking into Jiang Lan's body.
Every cell in his body was devouring the abundant medicinal power, as if he was being revived.
Every night after returning to the Xiangguo Mansion, his parents would prepare a medicinal bath for him, which was filled with many precious natural treasures.
There is the true blood of ancient species, as well as rare treasures from heaven and earth that are hard to find in the world, all of which are priceless.
Jiang Lan is not bragging. Just one drop of this medicinal liquid would be enough to attract countless cultivators to scramble for it in the outside world.
After clearly knowing the infinite potential of his current immortal fetus, his parents were completely relieved and no longer worried about bursting his meridians.
Because Jiang Lan practiced the Infinite Blood River, the source of his magical power was originally the Fruit of Life.
After completely devouring the endless blood-colored mist on the Bloody Plateau, even he was not clear about how vast and powerful the vitality contained in his current Life Fruit was.
He only understood that if his physical strength and cultivation could keep up, it would be absolutely easy to kill a sixth-level strong man with a single palm, relying solely on the Dao Fruit of Life as a source of mana.
Because his vitality is almost inexhaustible, it appears vast and boundless.
Now that he has gone against his innate nature and created a flawless immortal fetus, a second path has been born in his body through practicing the Huangxu Hunyuan Sutra.
With the practice during this period, the originally dry and dried up spiritual sea has been madly filled with spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, constantly nourishing it.
This is also the universally recognized way of cultivation, first cultivate the physical body, then cultivate the Qi, and finally open up the spiritual sea.
It was just because of his previous practice of Infinite Blood River that Jiang Lan skipped this step directly. Therefore, no matter who examined his body, they would find that there was no aura of cultivation fluctuations on him.
But in fact, he had practiced the white bone visualization method before, and had already condensed his soul in the sea of consciousness of the Niwan Palace, and successfully reflected the Youquan, allowing the Niwan Palace and Dantian to communicate and connect, and successfully entered the Zhaoyou realm.
Because of the special nature of the White Bone Visualization Method, at the moment he stepped into the Zhaoyou Realm, a Soul Palace had actually been built inside the Niwan Palace, with a little soul figurine sitting in it, overlooking everything with indifference.
The difference is that other people’s soul palaces are palaces, while his soul palace is a Taoist temple of bones.
If the fluctuation of cultivation aura is ignored, Jiang Lan's current cultivation realm should actually be the Soul Palace Realm, not the Illuminating Nether Realm.
This was something he had only noticed during his training in recent days, because most people at this stage would first reflect the Nether Spring, condense their spirit, and then forge the Soul Palace, but he did it the other way around...
Now, if he wants to enter the next realm, he must condense the imprint of magical powers and learn or comprehend his own innate magical powers.
At this stage of the realm of supernatural powers, the most important thing is the spirit and soul, which mobilizes the Qi of the heaven and earth and arouses the magic power in the spiritual sea to form a circulation trend inside and outside the body, which is the so-called prototype of the domain.
Only after having the prototype of a domain can one step into the Dharma Realm and form a real domain. Once the domain is developed, almost ordinary external objects cannot touch it, and one will be invincible.
It is even more impossible for cultivators below the Dharma Realm to get close.
Therefore, the cultivators in the seventh realm are definitely a watershed existence in this world.
With Jiang Lan's current strength, it would be easy for him to kill a cultivator of the sixth realm, but if he were to deal with a cultivator of the seventh realm, it would be very difficult and almost impossible to succeed...
Situations like Xiao Yingyue's are rare. If she had a little bit of cultivation, it would not have been so easy for Jiang Lan to take her body at that time.
"The path of cultivation I'm taking right now is actually the most orthodox one. The Blood Immortal Sect's Boundless River of Blood is, in a sense, a shortcut for me. It's not suitable for me to use it openly at the moment..."
"In other words, this is actually the second trump card. The first trump card is still the fruit of life. No matter how many methods there are in this world, none of them is as simple as directly manipulating the lifeline."
"It's a pity that I haven't gained much luck during this period. What is Chu Chan doing? Could it be that she has encountered troubles after returning to Yaochi Sect? But Ling Zhuyun should help her out for my sake."
Jiang Lan is currently feeling deeply troubled. After returning to Jingyang City, many of his methods are difficult to use. This can be said to be the most central place in Zhongtianzhou, with many masters and a mixed crowd.
In the original plot, several hidden characters with the eighth level of cultivation appeared later.
It is precisely for this reason that he cannot make plans as casually as he did in Anyang City, and many things have to be more cautious and meticulous.
Although improving cultivation is important at the moment, luck is the most important thing...
"In addition to Xiao Teng, I almost forgot that there is another girl who can be used to contain Emperor Xia. According to the current plot, she should also know the secret left by the late emperor."
Jiang Lan fell into deep thought.
…
For many people in Jingyang City, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The next morning.
The Xianzhen Division is located in the Xianzhen Hall, and all the members of the Xie family were escorted here.
In the grand and solemn hall, with bronze lamps shining and mist filling the air, it felt like one had arrived in the ancient heaven.
A deputy director of the Zhenxian Division sat in the main hall, his face obscured by mist, unable to be seen clearly, revealing only a pair of extremely indifferent eyes.
On both sides of the Xianxian Palace, soldiers in golden armor escorted the members of the Xie family forward one by one.
"Colluding with the devil, this crime is unforgivable, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be demoted to a commoner."
"Execution."
The deputy director's voice was indifferent, but it was as loud as a huge bell, shocking everyone's hearts and minds, and making their blood boil.
Outside the Immortal Execution Palace, many people watched this scene with complicated expressions.
As a well-known and prominent family in Jingyang City, the Xie family has fallen into such a situation today, which makes many people feel grieved.
Everyone in the Xie family had a gloomy and pale look on their faces.
Many young people were filled with anger and unwillingness, but unfortunately their cultivation was sealed, so they couldn't even speak here. They could only clench their fists and roar angrily in their hearts.
Xie Jianjia, on the other hand, looked as calm and cold as ever.
Although her black hair was hanging down a little in a messy manner, her fair jade-like face still exuded a faint grace, luxury and coolness.
"Jianjia..." Xiao Teng looked at her from afar outside the hall, with his fists clenched under his sleeves.
Passing through the square bluestone platform in front of him, which was intertwined with restrictions and filled with the aura of runes.
The supervisor in charge of abolishing cultivation stepped forward and picked up one rusty bronze dagger stained with blood from the square bluestone platform. The dagger did not hurt the flesh and was filled with fairy light, which cut through each person's dantian abdomen one by one.
All fluctuations of spiritual energy dissipated instantly, including the spiritual sea in Dantian, which was directly destroyed.
When it was Xie Jianjia's turn, she took a deep breath, held her breath, and stood on the square bluestone platform.
The rusty bronze dagger slashed across her abdomen through her dress.
A fairy air like a rosy glow turned into a knife and cut away with a whoosh sound.
In the silent and calm Dantian, the crawling ancient divine turtle seemed to sense something, opened its mouth wide, and raised its head to catch it.
The misty fairy light fell and was immediately swallowed up by him. Then, his dantian returned to its calm state, with nothing unusual happening.
Xie Jianjia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.
It is really the Turtle Breathing Pill, it is worthy of being the legendary magical pill that can deceive the world. It can easily deceive the world in front of the Immortal Execution Platform of the Immortal Suppression Bureau.
Deep in the palace, Emperor Xia was sitting at the top seat, holding a white cat in his arms. In front of him was a crystal clear and ancient round mirror, reflecting the scene happening in the Immortal Suppression Division.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion will not let Xie Jianjia's cultivation be abolished. It all depends on who will win this game." Her face was calm.
She had already ordered Situ Ying to mobilize the Imperial Guards to secretly escort Xie Jianjia to Canglan Sword Sect.
At the same time, she also asked the people in the Anhua Pavilion to keep a secret watch and to stop them if they saw anyone from the Xiangguo Mansion trying to fight for it.
Xiao Teng, the third son of the Zhenbei Palace, is deeply in love with Xie Jianjia, and they are engaged. He will definitely not allow Xie Jianjia to be kidnapped by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and will protect her in secret.
If nothing unexpected happens, the conspiracy of the Prime Minister's Mansion will fail.
A mocking arc appeared on Emperor Xia's lips, and with a wave of his jade hand, the ancient mirror in front of him suddenly disappeared.
…
Si time.
All the members of the Xie family in the Zhenxian Division had their cultivation abolished.
Prison carts had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, with chains entangled inside them like pythons, tightening the carts. The air was filled with the aura of runes. These chains were made of special materials and were difficult to cut with ordinary weapons.
The female and male relatives were escorted separately and placed in prison vans.
When the number of people was reached, a black prison cloth was spread outside.
On the main street leading out of Jingyang City, people from the Tiantian Division led the way, followed by one prison van after another, driving out of the city.
When they reached the official road outside, they were divided into several directions and escorted to different places.
Xie Jianjia and all the female members of the Xie family were imprisoned in the same prison van.
Although she had heard Xiao Teng mention that she might be sent to Canglan Sword Sect on this trip, even Xiao Teng himself was not sure whether it was true or not.
Now she could only hope in her heart that Xiao Teng's guess would not be wrong.
It's just that along the way, you may not be safe and may encounter some troubles...
She closed her eyes and silently felt the slight fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the spiritual sea in her dantian. A faint smile appeared on her beautiful fair face.
Outside in the woods, there was a thin mist, the mountain road was rugged, and the prison van was bumpy and creaking.
Xie Jianjia felt relaxed and did not feel tired. She was just waiting to reach the Sword Sect and then find a way to escape. It was not convenient to show off her cultivation at the moment, after all, the people from the Heavenly Monitoring Division were still outside.
After safely escaping, she will find a place to restore her strength and slowly return to the peak.
As for the Xie family, she herself did not have much affection for this family. She was almost sick of playing the role of Miss Xie, not to mention having to deal with that fool Xiao Teng.
After living for so many years, she asked herself if she had done anything wrong in her previous life.
As a member of the demon clan, she hadn't done anything harmful to the world, but after she was reborn in this life, because of the original owner's engagement, she had to constantly play the role of someone with a deep relationship with her fiancé.
But Xiao Teng, that guy, likes to do some self-touching things to try to impress her, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
She felt extremely disgusted, but she had to respond with a faint smile.
Fortunately, this fool was of some use at a critical moment, and maybe he can be used again in the future...
Xie Jianjia was in a relaxed mood. Her heart, which had been tense since yesterday in the Tianjiansi, finally relaxed and she couldn't help feeling a wave of fatigue.
I can take a nap in the prison car of the Tianjiansi, and I believe no one will disturb me.
The green mountains are shrouded in mist, and the official road in the forest is unobstructed.
The people from the Heavenly Supervisory Department led the way with flags fluttering, and all the monks and caravans that passed by gave way.
"This is the road to Canglan Sword Sect. My perception is correct. Jianjia should be among these prisoner carts."
"At the moment, there is no danger, but we can't let our guard down."
Xiao Teng was watching this scene from atop a towering tree with lush branches and leaves.
He was dressed in a black suit, with a gauze hat and a black scarf on his head. Both were specially made to conceal his aura and true appearance.
Behind him, there are also many powerful auras hidden.
Along the way, Xiao Teng has discovered traces of many people. He used his divine pupil to observe secretly and also sensed several powerful auras sweeping by.
This means that there are quite a few people secretly watching these prison vans.
Judging from the current situation, it is inevitable that the Prime Minister's Mansion will target Xie Jianjia, but in his perception, there are other forces hiding in secret.
But apart from the Xiangguo Mansion, what other forces want to kidnap Xie Jianjia? Could it be the royal family? Xiao Teng stared at the front, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.
On the other side, Song Youwei, who covered her face with a veil and disguised herself as another person, was also hiding in the dark with her men, waiting for the right time to strike.
She had already learned from Jiang Lan that people from the Prime Minister's Mansion would take action, and at that time the people from the Heavenly Supervisory Department would retreat, but other forces would also take the opportunity to take action.
The war broke out and chaos reigned.
She just needs to wait for the right opportunity and then she can act.
Soon, night fell. The people from the Astronomical Bureau did not continue on their journey. Instead, they chose a relatively flat terrain nearby and planned to rest there for one night and continue their journey the next day.
Bonfires were lit in the dim night, and the prison sheets on the prison cars were removed, allowing the women inside to breathe a little fresh air.
Bang!!! But at this moment, a dull sound suddenly came from the depths of the lush jungle.
Then a brilliant light exploded on the flat ground and spread out into the sky as a cloud of fog.
"Someone is robbing the prisoner."
Seeing this scene, the people from the Sky Monitoring Department suddenly shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, the other knights of the Sky Monitoring Division drew their weapons and looked in the direction where the fog was coming from.
This sound also made Xie Jianjia, who had been sleeping all the way, open her eyes and look. There seemed to be a figure flashing there, and was about to kill them.
"Are you robbing a prisoner so openly?"
She thought to herself that the Prime Minister's Mansion was really arrogant.
They had just left the imperial capital Jingyang City not far away, but she could no longer contain herself. This was clearly telling everyone that the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted her.
She thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would wait for a while and take action when she was about to reach Canglan Sword Sect.
The fog was so thick that it instantly covered the open space and the mountains, and even the moonlight could not shine through.
Figures rushed over from that place one after another. Among them were humans and aliens. They looked radiant and their eyes were like candles, shining with bright rays of light.
High in the sky, clouds and mist were surging, and there seemed to be powerful auras standing in them, overlooking the scene below.
Xie Jianjia's face darkened slightly. With just a casual glance, she noticed that there were quite a few cultivators with strength of the fourth and fifth realms, and there seemed to be some powerful cultivators of the sixth realm hidden in secret.
How many strong men did the Xiangguo Mansion send to fight for her? "Damn it..."
"This Tianjiansi has actually been colluding with the Xiangguo Mansion for a long time and they are in cahoots with each other."
The next moment, Xie Jianjia's expression changed again, and her white jade hands clenched involuntarily.
After seeing those figures rushing over, the people from the Tianjian Division ignored everything and simply changed direction, choosing to flee far away, with no intention of protecting her at all.
So Xie Jianjia could only watch the figures rushing out from the mist, all heading towards the prison van where she was.
"Miss……"
"What should I do?"
Seeing this scene, the many women in the prison car were terrified, their faces turned pale and their faces turned pale.
"Sure enough, at the critical moment, I still have to rely on myself."
Xie Jianjia's cold eyes narrowed, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.
She naturally didn't want to fall into the hands of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The second-generation rich man Jiang Lan obviously regarded her as a tool for cultivation and wanted the Immortal Phoenix blood in her body. If she fell into his hands, she would definitely not have a good ending.
A strange purple light flashed in the depths of Xie Jianjia's eyes.
She did not want to sit there and wait for death, so she planned to break through the prison van and escape far away. However, the next moment, when she wanted to mobilize the magic power in her body, she froze, and her plain white face was full of disbelief.
"How is it possible..."
"Why is my magic power out of my control and cannot be used by me?"
Xie Jianjia simply couldn't believe it, her whole body trembling slightly because of this unbelievable scene.
In the silent and calm spiritual sea, the phantom of the divine turtle lay there like an eternal rock, motionless.
No matter how she urged it, the magic power swallowed by it showed no signs of being controlled by her. The phantom of the divine turtle completely ignored her and did not swallow up her magic power and return it to her at all.
She could clearly feel her own magical power...
"How is it possible..."
Xie Jianjia's face turned pale in an instant, and an indescribable feeling of panic and disbelief emerged in her heart.
What went wrong? Where did the mistake occur?
She had obviously been so cautious, taking all possibilities into consideration to ensure that nothing was missed, so why did this still happen?
“Medicine…”
"It must be the problem with the Huanzhen Guixi Pill..."
Xie Jianjia couldn't help but feel angry.
She thought she had planned everything perfectly, but she was still tricked when she arrived.
She was sure that it was definitely because of the pill she had swallowed, and her cultivation had been sealed by someone.
The thing that sealed her cultivation was the Huanzhen Guixi Pill, and someone had tampered with it in a way that even she, the current Great Xia State Master Ge Qixing, and others could not detect...
Xie Jianjia's hands were cold and she just stood there in a daze in the prison car.
Without her cultivation, she is not strong enough to break free from the prison van and escape. Her only advantage is her powerful soul, but what use is it now?
"Jianjia, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here to protect you."
Just when Xie Jianjia felt a chill in her heart and panic.
A familiar voice was heard from the sky not far away.
A young man in tight clothes appeared there, blocking the many figures who were coming to kill him.
His black hair was flying, and although he was covered with a black scarf, his eyes were extremely determined.
Beside him, there seemed to be starlight rising and divine light surging, as if a star god was standing there, and light seemed to be flowing all over his body, which was particularly bright in the night.
The wind from his fist swept across, and cracks of strong wind appeared everywhere between heaven and earth. He was like a god, extremely powerful, and he alone blocked many powerful men who were trying to kill him.
At the same time, many figures appeared around him, blocking the crowd.
For a moment, a chaotic war broke out here.
"Xiao Teng, yes, Xiao Teng is still here..."
"I don't need to be so flustered."
Seeing this scene, Xie Jianjia calmed down a little, but her face was still as gloomy as water.
She was trying to use various secret methods to refine the phantom of the divine turtle in her Linghai Dantian.
It’s a pity that all her skills have been swallowed up by it, and many of her methods cannot be used.
The only way is to use the secret method of the soul to see if it can be shattered and return to its original level of cultivation.
However, she didn’t know if it was Xie Jianjia’s illusion, but she felt that the phantom of the divine turtle was originally just crawling there, but as she attacked it with many secret spiritual techniques, it actually showed signs of coming back to life.
It opened its mouth wide and continuously swallowed her many spiritual secrets. It seemed that inside its stomach was a vast and boundless world that could swallow everything.
"What on earth is this strange thing? With my knowledge, I can't even tell..."
Xie Jianjia's heart sank continuously.
She had mistakenly thought that she had taken advantage of Jiang Lan, but now it seemed that she was the self-righteous fool. She had swallowed the pill herself...
Although Xie Jianjia felt regretful in her heart, she also understood that now she could only place her hopes on Xiao Teng.
Once she fell into Jiang Lan's hands, even her cultivation would be controlled by him. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her. Maybe her own secrets would be exposed as well.
"Brother Xiao Teng, come on."
Xie Jianjia spoke and looked at Xiao Teng who was fighting with several people. She clenched her fists and kept encouraging him.
"Jianjia, don't worry, I will definitely protect you..."
Hearing this, Xiao Teng's whole body trembled, and he responded, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he became more and more excited.
He cast the Holy Light spell, and the starlight in the sky seemed to penetrate the thick fog and shine through him.
At this moment, he was invulnerable to all attacks, as immovable as a mountain, and as bright and shining as the sun, the light he shone was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at him.
The chaotic battle became more intense, and the scene here became more chaotic and blurred.
Boom!!!
Amidst the deafening explosion, dust and smoke rose up, a mountain collapsed instantly, and a chaotic world fell into place.
In addition to the people led by Xiao Teng who showed up, there were also other people who joined in secret.
Xiao Teng was a little anxious at first, but after he saw that those people were there to help him, he felt relieved.
Although the robes of those people were not the same, Xiao Teng could vaguely see a flower with gold and black thread on their sleeves.
"Which force is interfering here and is actually helping me? Could it be the enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Xiao Teng was greatly encouraged. With the help of outsiders, he had a better chance of winning this melee.
Xie Jianjia, who was in the prison car, felt a little relieved when she saw this scene.
Although the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion came with great force, Xiao Teng was well prepared and had a lot of manpower, not to mention that there were other forces helping in secret.
The Xiangguo Mansion has offended too many people, so it is normal that many people are uncomfortable with it. It may also be arranged by the royal family, or it may be done by other factions...
Anyway, it seems that she is safe for now.
"Based on the current situation, it seems to be much easier than I thought..."
"To kidnap Xie Jianjia, we don't need any extra manpower. I am enough."
Behind a piece of broken bluestone.
Song Youwei stood quietly, looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of her. Her bright and beautiful eyes swept across the prison car where Xie Jianjia was not far away, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She was draped in a cloud-like gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, with a hazy glow flowing on the surface, as if there was a fairy light floating in it, making her completely blend in with the surrounding environment.
This is a very special treasure that she obtained in a secret realm. She uses it to conceal her figure so that even those in the Seventh Realm cannot detect it without careful attention.
She did not rush to take action, but observed the situation before her. After making sure she was fully confident, she slowly walked towards the prison van.
Jiang Lan had somewhat underestimated her strength; the Blood Puppet Orb he had given her did not need to be used in this kind of situation.
A slight smile appeared on Song Youwei's lips.
No one noticed that in the chaotic battlefield, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared, and its body was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see its true appearance.
Although Xie Jianjia's cultivation was sealed, her powerful soul was enough for her to sense an inexplicably powerful aura approaching.
She was slightly startled, but quickly reacted. Her face changed and she was about to shout, but she saw a misty air in front of her, splashing towards her.
"you……"
Xie Jianjia was so angry that she didn't even see the appearance of the person in front of her.
He could only vaguely see the outline of a figure, and then his vision went dark, his eyes closed, and he passed out.
The same thing happened to the other female relatives imprisoned inside. Without any chance to react, they closed their eyes and fainted.
"This is the Fuxiang Sanxidao extracted from the poison of the thousand-year-old Fuxiang Insect King. You should be satisfied with using it on you."
Song Youwei whispered, although she felt a little distressed, but she did not hesitate at all for Jiang Lan's order.
She moves very quickly.
After bewitching Xie Jianjia, an extremely powerful aura emanated from her white jade hand, and she slapped the special chain in front of her directly.
It is hard to imagine that such a white and slender palm seems to contain terrifying power like overturning mountains and seas.
With a snap, the indestructible special chain broke instantly under her palm.
Song Youwei opened the prison van without any hesitation, her movements smooth and fluid.
She held Xie Jianjia in one hand, her figure covered with a secret treasure. Under the cover of the moonlight, she disappeared in an instant, leaving behind the chaotic battlefield.
“Bang!”
On the battlefield, Xiao Teng was fighting fiercely with a powerful enemy. He swung his fist and his opponent hit him with a palm print.
The next moment, there was a collision here, and the sound was extremely terrifying, like a thunderclap, spreading all around.
The collision of fists and palms created ripples. A golden halo fluttered like a veil, submerging the area.
Boom!!! The mountain range shook violently, and a nearby mountain suddenly collapsed, causing the area to become even more chaotic.
"Third Master, something bad has happened..."
"Miss Xie's prisoner car was destroyed, and the people inside are missing..."
At this moment, a voice with a hint of panic and shock suddenly reached Xiao Teng's ears.
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao Teng's expression changed.
After reacting, he hurriedly looked towards the prison van where Xie Jianjia was imprisoned.
All the chains were broken, and the prisoner van was wide open. Inside were all the unconscious women of the Xie family. Where was Xie Jianjia? "Jianjia..."
Xiao Teng no longer had the heart to fight with his opponent. He turned into a ray of divine light and rushed towards the prison van, feeling extremely panicked.
After searching the place, there was indeed no sign of Xie Jianjia. No one knew when she was kidnapped, and there was not even any sound at all.
"These women were all knocked unconscious..."
"I'm afraid Miss Xie has also been tricked."
Beside Xiao Teng, a middle-aged man investigated and said with a heavy face.
Xiao Teng stood there in a daze, his face looking extremely ugly, his fists clenched tightly, and he was shaking with anger.
He never expected that under such circumstances, Xie Jianjia could be kidnapped right under his nose.
"It's all my fault. I should have stayed by Jianjia's side all the time."
Xiao Teng felt extremely regretful.
“Third Young Master, this cannot be blamed on you. The chains of the Heavenly Supervisor were so strong, yet they were broken by a single blow. That person’s strength must be terrifying. If you were here, you probably wouldn’t be able to stop him.” The middle-aged man at the side looked at the mirror-like cross-section of the chain with a solemn expression.
"Jiang Lan..."
"They must be someone from the Xiangguo Mansion. On the surface, they are fighting with me to attract our attention, but in fact, they are sneaking through Chencang and secretly kidnapping Jianjia..."
"No, Jianjia can't fall into the hands of the Xiangguo Mansion. Jiang Lan, that evil villain, has been thinking about her for a long time. If she falls into his hands, how can Jianjia have a good ending?"
Xiao Teng's face was still grim, his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart had never been as strong as it was now.
The middle-aged man looked at the chaotic battle not far away and whispered, "It seems that the people in the Xiangguo Mansion did not expect something like this to happen..."
"Now that we have succeeded, why haven't the people from the Xiangguo Mansion evacuated yet?"
Xiao Teng looked over and found that it was indeed the case, but it was difficult to dispel the anxiety in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, "That thief is so cunning and treacherous that even if he succeeds, he will deliberately pretend to be ignorant..."
The middle-aged man was stunned, and then after thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed the truth.
He sighed inwardly, what should he do?
…
"You actually missed it?"
"What's going on?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Jiang Lintian, dressed in casual clothes, was in the study, studying the ancient scriptures in his hands.
Hearing the report from the butler beside him, he frowned slightly, and his originally elegant face suddenly revealed a majestic aura that was intimidating without even being angry.
"Reporting to the master, Xie Jianjia was suddenly kidnapped by an unknown person, which was beyond everyone's expectation."
"The Third Young Master of the Zhenbei Palace is now suspecting that our people succeeded."
"I thought he would go to the Dao Cang Sword Sect, but I didn't expect him to follow the Cang Lan Sword Sect. When we took action, he suddenly rushed out with his men, and there were also some unknown forces involved in the secret..."
"Among them are people from the Dark Flower Pavilion secretly established by Emperor Xia."
The butler replied respectfully.
Jiang Lintian put down the ancient scripture in his hand. He snorted coldly and said, "I underestimated Xiao Teng this time. I don't know how he knew the prisoner car where Xie Jianjia was, and how he was prepared in advance."
"But he suspected that it was my Xiangguo Mansion that succeeded, so let him bring people to look for him. If he has the courage to come, I will let him know from the Zhenbei Palace how the Xie family ended up..."
Anger showed on his face.
Jiang Lan thought it was a sure thing and only needed to wait for three days before Xie Jianjia would be sent to his house.
But the result was this unexpected thing.
This made him feel a little embarrassed.
Originally, in his opinion, neither Xiao Teng nor the Zhenbei Palace were worth caring about. Even if Emperor Xia interfered, there would not be any loopholes.
"Have you found out the force that secretly intervened?" Jiang Lintian asked.
"It has not been found out yet, but it may be related to the royal family. I guess that Xie Jianjia was secretly kidnapped and protected by the royal family. After all, the royal family spent a lot of resources and efforts on her." The butler reported and guessed.
Jiang Lintian nodded, he also guessed that it would be so.
"I originally thought that the royal family would not offend me so much just because of Xie Jianjia, but now it seems that it was probably Lan'er who made them alert, so they abducted Xie Jianjia at all costs."
Jiang Lintian said thoughtfully.
"Master, how do we explain this to the young master?" asked the butler.
"Tell Lan'er the truth. I was not thoughtful enough about this matter." Jiang Lintian said.
The news that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was kidnapped on the way to Canglan Sword Sect spread quickly throughout the imperial capital Jingyang City the next day, causing an uproar and was discussed in teahouses and taverns everywhere.
Although the princes and nobles had guessed it long ago, they were still shocked when they actually learned the news.
This was already an open conspiracy. The reason why the Xie family offended the Prime Minister's Mansion was because of Xie Jianjia...
Now that Xie Jianjia has been kidnapped, many people subconsciously begin to suspect the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, people can only doubt this kind of thing in private, and no one dares to talk about it or speculate about it openly.
Zhenbei Palace.
Xiao Teng stood in front of his father, Zhenbei King Xiao He, with a dejected and anxious look on his face, and told him everything that happened last night in detail, without missing any details.
"Father, what should we do?"
"You know the character of that evil villain Jiang Lan. He has persecuted so many young ladies in the capital. Now that Jianjia has fallen into his hands, her innocence will probably be gone."
Xiao Teng said anxiously.
He felt that the longer he delayed, the greater the chance that Xie Jianjia would be bullied.
Now he wished he could break into the Prime Minister's Mansion alone and rescue Xie Jianjia.
"I don't know what to do now."
"There is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was the Xiangguo Mansion that kidnapped Xie Jianjia. You should know the consequences of breaking into the Xiangguo Mansion so recklessly to demand someone, Teng'er..."
Zhenbei King Xiao He also looked helpless and didn't know what to do.
Xiao Teng looked dejected. He clenched his fists, then unclenched them, feeling powerless in his heart.
"well……"
"Father will think of a way for you. No matter what, you must not act rashly, otherwise it will not only harm you, but also the Zhenbei Palace."
"Teng'er, you are now grown up and mature. You should know the priorities of things. At this time, you can only put aside your love affairs for the time being."
Xiao He patted his shoulder and advised him earnestly.
In order to escort Xie Jianjia this time, he has sent a lot of people to help Xiao Teng. How could the rest of his descendants receive such treatment?
In the Xiangguo Mansion, in a courtyard covered with brilliant maple leaves.
Jiang Lan sat on a stone bench, casually looking at the bronze mask in his hand.
He combined the familiar plot descriptions in his memory with the details above, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"It's quite efficient. It only took one day to make it. Not only is the style the same, but even the materials are so realistic that they look real."
“I will add the secret method of the soul into it. Then, even if Emperor Xia stands in front of me, he will not be able to tell for a while whether the bronze mask in her hand is real or mine is real…”
Jiang Lan accepted the bronze mask.
With this preparation, his next plan will be foolproof.
The Naxian League is the most important card in the hands of Emperor Xia, far more important than the Anhua Pavilion and Juxian Manor that she established.
However, no one in the Naxian League had ever seen the true face of Queen Xia. They only knew that she had always been wearing green silk clothes and a bronze mask.
Jiang Lan was familiar with the plot and knew more clearly which important members of the Naxian League were.
He felt that he could give it a try, taking over the throne and doing many things in the name and identity of Emperor Xia.
Even if it is exposed at that time, all the blame will be put on Emperor Xia, and she will not be able to get rid of it.
But right now, he has more important things to do.
Although his father's plan failed and he failed to kidnap Xie Jianjia back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, that didn't matter. As long as Jiang Lan's plan succeeded, that was enough.
Song Youwei did not disappoint him.
So in response to his father's self-blaming words, Jiang Lan was very generous and comforted him, saying that she was just a woman and his father didn't need to be like that.
"Then Xiao Teng will hate me even more, but the more he hates me, the worse it will be for you..."
Jiang Lan felt the surging fortune in the Niwan Palace and a bright smile appeared on his face.
