Chapter 62: Holy Lady of Light
In a manor in Jiangzhou City.

Qi Junhao lay on the branch of a pine tree in the yard, holding a straw in his mouth. He squinted at the person who came in from the door and asked bluntly, "Who are you and why are you helping us?"

The visitor was a sturdy middle-aged man. He smiled and said, "I have always admired the heroes of the Black Bull Village. When I see injustice, I will naturally help."

"Thank you very much. My injury has almost healed. Sorry for bothering me for the past month."

Qi Junhao said polite words but his body didn't move at all.

More than a month ago, he was in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division. With the power of Blood Evil, he fought alone against several Demon Suppression Division’s Shenzang Realm masters, and even forced back the peerless powerful man in the Faxiang Realm, and broke out of the siege with Qi Wu.

Although he had the help of a special environment and the power of "Blood and Soul Attraction", he was also proud of it.

In the end, although he and Qi Wu escaped from the prison, they were still caught up by the powerful Dharma Image Realm master. After a bloody battle, Qi Wu injured the Dharma Image Realm master at the cost of his arm.

The two took the opportunity to escape, but were seriously injured. If they had not been rescued by this mysterious man, they would probably have been captured by the Demon Suppression Division in the end.

This mysterious man is obviously a local tyrant in Jiangzhou. He hid them here and even concealed them from the eyes and ears of the Demon Suppression Bureau. It is quite amazing.

After living there for more than a month, Qi Junhao still only knew his last name, Wu.

Now, their injuries have almost healed and they are ready to leave.

As for the person who saved them, his hiding his head and showing his tail is probably not a good move.

The middle-aged man surnamed Wu said, "Recently, a big event happened in Jiangzhou. Yesterday, an imperial envoy arrived in Jiangzhou, and officials of all ranks in Jiangzhou went to the dock to greet him. It is said that this is a eunuch sent by the Demon Queen."

Qi Junhao said with little interest, "So what?"

He has never been interested in court affairs.

The legendary demon queen who brought disaster to the country and the people, no matter how many gods she killed, had no effect on Heiniu Village.

The middle-aged man surnamed Wu said, "The demon queen sent the eunuch here to look for the royal bloodline. For the demon queen to send people to look for it in such a high-profile manner, this princess or prince must have awakened his bloodline."

Qi Junhao raised his eyebrows.

He remembered that his elder brother once said that the bloodline of the Xia family, the royal family of the Wei Dynasty, was extremely special. Once awakened, practicing martial arts would be as easy as eating and drinking.

For ordinary people, the Dharma Image Realm is like an insurmountable chasm. They don’t need to practice much. As long as they reach the right age, they can easily cross it as if it were a natural process.

Just terrible.

Qi Junhao sat up, spit out the straw in his mouth, stared at him and said, "Why, do you have any ideas about the bloodline of the Xia family?"

The man surnamed Wu smiled slightly and said, "It is our sect that has some feelings towards her."

Qi Junhao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Changsheng Sect? Xuanming Sect? I see, no wonder you saved us. Why, you want to kill the bloodline of the Xia family who is out there?"

Xuanming Sect is a professional rebel. In every dynasty, they have taken rebellion as their mission, working tirelessly and one after another.

Every time the Xuanming Sect starts to become active, it means that troubled times are coming.

"No."

The man surnamed Wu talked about a secret in the religion, "The queen of the Wei Dynasty's Taizu was originally the Holy Maiden of Light of our religion. Now, we are just welcoming the Holy Maiden back to her throne."

Qi Junhao's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the Xia family's bloodline?"

Otherwise, how do we know that this is a saint?
The man surnamed Wu said, "Yes, she is in Minglong City now."

Minglong City?
Qi Junhao couldn't help but think of that interesting boy.

"I would like to ask you two for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Show up somewhere in Jiangzhou and lead the one from the Demon Suppression Division over there."

That person naturally refers to the powerful Dharma Image Realm expert from the Demon Suppression Division.

Before Qi Junhao could speak, Qi Wu came out and agreed, "Okay."

The man surnamed Wu said happily, "Then I'll have to trouble you two."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Qi Junhao looked at his back and curled his lips and said, "So it's from the Xuanming Sect. I knew this person was sneaky and cunning, and he must be not a good person."

Qi Wu said, "After all, he saved us. A real man should distinguish between gratitude and resentment. This favor must be repaid."

"Uncle Wu, do you still remember your cheap disciple? He is from the Minglong Gu family. If the Xuanming Sect takes action, his life will be in danger."

"Don't worry. From my observation of his face, he doesn't have a short life."

Qi Wu was starting to feel a little unsure as he spoke, so he paused and said, "Otherwise, you should go and let him get out of the spotlight."

"Okay, leave it to me."

……

After leaving the manor, Wu Chengzhou got on a carriage, closed his eyes and began to rest.

After the carriage drove far away, he suddenly said, "I heard that your grandfather died, and four brothers also died. Do you want revenge?"

There was a man sitting in the carriage. He lowered his head and said, "Master, my surname is no longer Li. The life and death of the Li family has nothing to do with me."

"is it?"

There was no expression on Wu Chengzhou's face.

This person is the leader of Xuanming Sect in Jiangzhou. To outsiders, he is just a businessman. No one knows that this inconspicuous businessman is actually a great master at the peak of Shenzang Realm.

Sitting opposite him was the fifth son of the Li family, the Xuanming Sect leader who went by the alias Li Shang. Wu Chengzhou said, "Back then, your grandfather saved my life. I asked you to become my disciple in order to leave a way out for the Li family. Now that your grandfather has been killed, you should avenge him for me."

Li Shang lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

After a moment, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Wu Chengzhou said, "Speak."

Li Shang whispered, "Our sect has not yet fully recovered. Do we really want to expose ourselves for the sake of a princess?"

The Xuanming Sect has a very bad reputation. Once it is exposed to the world, it will face attacks from the imperial court, aristocratic families, and sects.

Wu Chengzhou's eyes became fanatical. "You have no idea what it means to have a girl from the Xia family who has awakened her bloodline. That is the supreme martial art that has been lost in our sect, the Nine Transformations of the Bright Phoenix Technique. That bloodline... If we can bring her back to the sect and make her the Saint of our sect, it will be a great achievement."

Li Shang also knew that the position of the Holy Maiden in the church had been vacant for hundreds of years.

It turned out that it was because the martial arts technique had been lost.

Wu Chengzhou said, "We must rush to Minglong City before that eunuch, and set off immediately."

"Yes."

……

Minglong City.

Gu family.

Gu Mingchuan is teaching Wang Xining the "Xuan Tu Zhengong". With the other two Zhengong skills as a foundation, it is not very difficult to learn this skill.

After a few days, Wang Xining had almost mastered it.

One day, after Wang Xining finished his lessons for the day, he suddenly said, "I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go."

At this time, the maid Xiao Lian beside her finally couldn't help it and said, "My lady is going back to the capital."

Gu Mingchuan said, "Oh, take care on your journey and have a safe trip."

"you--"

Wang Xining paused for a moment, and finally said, "Take care of yourself too."

Then turned and left.

Gu Mingchuan felt somewhat regretful, as he didn't know when he would see her again.

Maybe, when I see her next time, she will already be a married woman.

Huh?
It would be even more exciting if a married woman attribute was added.

"Stop looking at it. Your eyes are going to pop out of your head if you keep looking at it."

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, which startled him. He immediately recognized the owner of the voice and said with some surprise, "Brother, I'm glad to see that you are okay."

The person who came was the ninth leader of Heiniuzhai, Qi Junhao.

Qi Junhao said proudly, "How can the Demon Suppression Prison hold me?"

"What about my master?"

"He's fine, too."

"That's good. Senior Brother, did you come to see me specially?"

Qi Junhao said, "My fifth uncle asked me to come here to tell you to stay out of the spotlight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come."

Gu Mingchuan asked curiously, "Escape from the limelight?"

"Have you heard of the Xuanming Sect? They are coming to Minglong Mansion to capture someone. When the time comes, it will definitely lead to a big war. I think that guy's cultivation is higher than mine. I think he is at the peak of Shenzang. If a fight breaks out, your life will be gone in a minute."

"Xuanming Sect?"

Gu Mingchuan was indeed a little surprised.

This is a cult that exists in legends. Their favorite thing to do is to rebel. It is said that it has existed for thousands of years.

It was not until five hundred years ago that Emperor Shang took action and destroyed this evil cult that was wreaking havoc on the world.

Now, it has popped up again.

Pin Junhao said, "It is the Xuanming Sect. They want to snatch the princess of the Xia family back to be a saint."

"The princess of the Xia family?"

Gu Mingchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. "You mean, there is a princess from the Wei Dynasty in Minglong City? A descendant of the royal family?"

"Anyway, that's what the guy said."

Hearing this affirmative answer, Gu Mingchuan's head started buzzing.

It turns out that my sister-in-law is a princess!

Good guy.

It turned out that the noble person she was talking about was actually the emperor. He was indeed extremely noble.
