Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen: Shenjing Suspicion(1/2)
Yanding Prefecture City Secretary Tianjian Department Office.
Supervisor Tao Xian was stroking his beard and laughing heartily. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Old Taoist Lingxu, who was following Tao Xian, stepped here again, and his mood was extremely complicated.
After Tao Xian met all the disciples, he talked to Old Taoist Lingxu alone in the lobby about recent events, praised Old Taoist Lingxu's achievements in Yanding Mansion, and even acknowledged the great contribution Lingxu had made this time.
After saying that, he once again thought of what happened today. After watching a play, His Majesty changed his mind and connected with everything that had happened before.
"The immortal's every move looks like an antelope hanging its horns. There is no connection, but he has already anticipated everything."
"The emperor's departure from the capital, the blood demon's plan, the situation of ascending to the Immortal Temple, even the little officials guarding the city gate and the drama on the stage today were all plots that had already fallen into place."
"One link after another! It's like God's will has already determined it!"
Tao Xian was deeply impressed, feeling that none of this could escape the meaning of Kongchen Daojun.
In the dark, everyone has been clearly arranged, whether it is the emperor, hundreds of officials, Si Tianjian, or demons.
"Not only have we clarified the cause of trouble within our Si Tian Jian, we have also eliminated the five demons: Yin Yang Taoist, Fujimu Gong, Tai Sui Shen, Blood Demon, and Han Ming Old Demon. The situation of our Si Tian Jian is no longer what it used to be.
In such a critical situation, we can still take this opportunity to suppress the demons on all sides."
Tao Xian walked up and down, and finally stopped and looked at Taoist Lingxu: "Although Your Majesty did not get the elixir of immortality during this trip, this trip south is really a great blessing for me, Great Zhou."
"External and internal troubles! Let's eliminate them together."
Old Taoist Lingxu was surprised and asked: "Jianzheng, did you know earlier that the elixir of immortality your Majesty seeks during this trip will not be available?"
Tao Xian was not afraid to say it in front of Lingxu, and nodded directly: "It's a guess!"
"Immortals may grant immortality to anyone, but they cannot grant the emperor the elixir of immortality."
"Actually, it's not just me. Many people have already seen it, but no one can tell it clearly."
"There are some words and truths that are useless to talk and persuade. Only His Majesty can come to understand them in person."
"The emperor has realized the truth today."
Tao Xian's eyes were sharp: "How can you have both country and longevity?"
"Mortal immortality is only a matter for one person. The emperor's immortality is a matter for the whole world."
It was no longer suitable to say anything more, so Tao Xian changed his words.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. This time, just follow me back to the capital!"
"Yushan has fallen into the realm of demons. The position of young prisoner happens to be vacant. I will report to Your Majesty and let you take over this position."
In his words, there was a hint that he was training Lingxu Lao Dao as the next Sitian Supervisor.
Although Old Taoist Lingxu was excited and happy, at this moment he expressed another worry.
"Although external and internal troubles have been eliminated, True Lord Xuanzhu Huode is still in the capital. Is it inappropriate to return to the capital at this moment?"
Tao Xian also showed a puzzled look at this time: "Even I didn't see it clearly! What does the Xuan Zhu Huode Zhenjun mean?"
"She summoned the demons to come to the capital, but she didn't move even when the demons were devouring the immortals."
"I even had a vague feeling that she seemed to be using a borrowed knife to kill people, borrowing the hands of immortals to get rid of the five great demons such as Yin Yang Taoist."
"But Taoist Yin Yang and other five demons died in the hands of Taoist Kongchen. How should she face the wrath of the immortal next?"
Taoist Lingxu guessed: "Could it be that the Xuan Zhu Huode Zhenjun has some powerful tricks or treasures that can deal with the immortals?"
Tao Xian couldn't imagine how the Xuanzhu Huode Zhenjun had any confidence in being able to fight against such gods due to Kongchen Daojun's heavenly magical power.
"But no matter what Xuanzhu Huode Zhenjun means, since the emperor is still here and I am still here, her conspiracy cannot succeed."
"Before leaving the capital in the previous series, a group of demons entered the capital, causing internal and external troubles."
"When I return to Beijing this time, the demons have dispersed and all worries have disappeared."
"This time, that time, this time I returned to Beijing and had a fight with her..."
Before he finished speaking, strange phenomena appeared in the sky.
"boom!"
A thunderous explosion rang out in the clear sky, and the loud noise that made the eardrums hurt was so frightening that the people in the city were all frightened. Like a conditioned reflex, they all raised their heads and looked towards the place where the thunder was coming from in the sky.
Just in time to see a bolt of thunder descending from the clouds,
And that bolt of thunder struck directly and directly on the Si Tianjian Office.
The lightning exploded, shocking all directions.
A large hole opened above the lobby of Si Tianjian's office, and pieces of rubble fell to the ground, allowing the sun from outside to shine directly in.
Sitian Supervisor Zheng Tao Xian, who was about to fight with the True Lord Xuanzhu Huode just now, happened to be hit by the thunderbolt.
Rays of light continued to pour out from all over his body, and the power he borrowed from Tao Shenjun continued to overflow and disperse outwards.
The Peach God's Order, which was originally integrated with it, also emerged and rose into the air.
After violent shaking.
The Peach God Order exploded.
It turned into petals and scattered light and shadow, and fell into dust.
Now Tao Xian could no longer hold on and knelt directly on the ground. A large mouthful of blood spurted out, making the ground in front of him turn red.
As the person in charge of Tao Shenjun, Tao Xian could not understand what was happening.
"Peach God Lord?"
"died?"
"How can it be?"
The three sentences could have been connected into one sentence, but Tao Xian's face turned pale and he paused as if he couldn't believe it.
Si Tianjian was just thinking about what would happen to the capital after he left the city, and even prepared for the worst. The capital would be in chaos and change its owners, and Lord Tao Shen would lose to True Lord Xuanzhu Huode and be sealed.
But I never thought that Tao Shenjun would die. This is Si Tianjian's biggest secret. As long as it is within the capital, it is the top demon and has strong vitality.
Even if you can defeat it, it is difficult to kill it.
But now, Tao Shenjun died so quietly.
Even before Tao Shenjun died, he didn't even make a sound, let alone warn Tao Xian in advance.
The terrifying level of the True Lord Xuanzhu Huode has completely exceeded his previous guesses and exceeded everyone's imagination.
Tao Xian was seriously injured and kneeling on the ground. Age spots and wrinkles appeared all over his body. His hair all turned white and fell off one by one.
Even though Tao Xian looked healthy before, this was all because he had taken the elixir and the power of Peach God Lord. He was already over a hundred years old and had reached the limit of human lifespan.
Tao Xian also knew that if he didn't turn into a demon, he wouldn't be able to survive for a few years.
That's why I had the intention to train Taoist Lingxu into the next generation of supervisors.
Taoist Lingxu on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Tao Xian up, but was also shocked by the sudden situation and was at a loss.
"Jian Zheng! What on earth is going on?"
Tao Xian grabbed Taoist Lingxu's hand and said weakly.
"Zhenjun Xuanzhu Huode made Taoist Yin Yang act as a pawn, attracting our attention and Taoist Kongchen's attention."
"There must have been a big change in the capital. Tao Shenjun is dead. You must not go back now."
"Go and tell His Majesty immediately!"
There was movement high in the lobby again, and Taoist Lingxu looked up.
The Jiutiandang Mo Peach God's tablet enshrined above by the Si Tianjian of Yanding Mansion was enshrined. At this moment, gaps spread on the peach wood tablet and cracked.
Then, he fell from a high place.
It fell directly to pieces.
Next came the magic sword that Taoist Lingxu had practiced all his life and the white jade peach petals inlaid on his arm.
The spiritual charm on it dissipated in an instant, and it no longer had any power, turning into an ordinary wooden sword.
Taoist Lingxu's face now turned pale.
It wasn't just Sitian Supervisor Zheng Tao Xian and Taoist Lingxu who had something abnormal.
In the city of Yanding Prefecture, in the capital, the sky is south and north.
All the disciples of Si Tianjian suffered this accident at the same time, and those who practiced the peach wood sword could no longer emit the evil spirit of the peach god.
Those who practiced thunder magic suffered backlash.
Their power comes from Peach God Lord, so naturally they will disappear with the death of Peach God Lord.

The residence of the emperor.
Emperor Chen Zhuang has decided to return to the capital, and everyone is preparing for the return journey. Although they come and go in a hurry, they are not in a panic.
