Chapter 49 Who doesn’t have a network of connections?
Following the incident involving Song Chaixin.
The capital, the Temple of Martial Arts, and the Palace of Sacrifices.
Ge Xiuzhi frowned and invited three powerful men to come, two of whom were the leading figures from Aquarius State.
Pei Nanbei, the lord of Aquarius Prefecture, was a third-rank frontier official in the Dazhao Dynasty.
Ye Cang, the demon-hunting general of Aquarius State, is even more proficient in martial arts and has reached the fourth level.
Even if it is just a wisp of divine thought, it can manifest a virtual image.
The official robes and demon-hunting uniforms that the two men were wearing still seemed to have the true roar of dragons and tigers, like towering mountains, making it hard to breathe.
In the Divine Capital of Dazhao, Marquis Zhanlong walked out of the Twelve Quarters of Divine Capital in the flesh, carrying with him a surging aura and walking like a dragon or a tiger, and entered the residence of the chief priest in a hurry.
Almost came in, opened his eyes, and looked around.
Then he saw Pei Nanbei, the slender and masked Lord of Aquarius State, and Ye Cang, the heroic and sharp-eyed demon-hunting general.
Both of them looked extremely young, because they had both passed the life and death hurdle of a hundred years that ordinary people could not reach, and they had slain the red dragon and subdued the white tiger. They were extremely powerful among warriors.
"In the Martial Temple, was there the blood of a dragon from the Dragon Court of the Jing River?"
"Since Lord Ge is the chief priest of the Martial Temple, why do you need to invite two pillars of the Aquarius State with such fanfare? Isn't it enough to handle it yourself?"
The Dragon Slayer's muscles, bones and skin were swollen, and every step he took seemed to be accompanied by a whirring sound from wind and thunder in his body, which was suspected to be caused by a secret technique.
According to legend, he once killed two creatures that were transforming into real dragons, bathed in dragon blood, and practiced the "Dragon Blood Washing Marrow Pill Forging Method" passed down by the great immortal sects. He recast the Yuandan, which allowed him to take his foundation to a higher level and reach unfathomable levels of cultivation.
Even when confronting two powerful men from Aquarius State, he did not fall into the slightest disadvantage.
"Indeed, I had the same idea as the Dragon Slayer. We were ready to arrest the half-demon, but we were stopped by the will of the Martial Temple halfway. So we stopped and waited until the Martial Temple was closed before interrogating him."
"But after all, he is the leader who enters the Martial Temple, which only happens once every five years. This time, only two people from Aquarius State were selected. How to deal with such a person and how to sentence him still need the advice of the two Aquarius Lords."
"That's why we asked the Dragon Slayer to come out and have a three-party trial to be a witness. I didn't expect that the Lord would come in person."
Ge Xiuzhi watched as the Dragon Slayer Marquis walked over in four or five steps, sat upright on the chair, and practiced his profound skills, cultivating hard all the time. He was a little surprised, but then he became serious and looked at the Lord of Aquarius State and the Demon-Catching General.
"The Demon Hunting Division of Wutong Prefecture, the Demon Hunting Envoy Xiang Zhulu once told me about this."
"Song Chaixin killed demons and monsters. With the Demon Hunting Robe, he killed all two young dragons of his father's bloodline. He also cut off the tail of his father, who was a third-step Yuandan, at the mountain gate of a famous family."
"He is from my Demon Hunting Division and will not go astray in the future. I will handle this myself, so Ge Jijiu and Long Zhan Hou, don't worry too much."
"At worst, we can just follow the old rules and sign a contract to guarantee that we will never have anything to do with demons in this life. Otherwise, the Dazhao government and the Demon Hunting Department will jointly kill us."
The Demon-hunting General is the immediate superior of the Demon-hunting Envoy of Wutong Prefecture.
When Ye Cang was reporting to Xiang Zhulu, he had heard of Song Chaixin, the half-demon leader.
So when he heard Ge Xiuzhi's words, he didn't care much. After all, he was a subordinate of his subordinate and they belonged to the same system, so naturally he wanted to act as a guarantee.
"I am the Lord of Aquarius State, and I have always had dealings with the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall."
"Yang Xiu, who opened up the 'Bai Yu Jing' city wall on the Demon Suppression Great Wall, accepted a registered disciple named 'Song Chai Xin' not long ago."
Pei Nanbei was wearing a mask and his voice was clear and lively, as if he was a woman.
But no one present dared to underestimate this woman who ruled the country from north to south with a simple gesture, and who had managed Aquarius State, which was worst hit by demons, without causing any major chaos.
Her words carry great weight.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a final decision, causing the Dragon Slayer to nod his head:
"With the Demon Hunting Division and the Demon Suppression Great Wall as the guarantors, what is there to be untrustworthy about? Can a half-demon entering the Martial Temple be approved by the dukes and marquises?"
"Just follow the wishes of these two people."
"I still have to go back and teach my new little girl how to practice martial arts, so I'll leave first!"
After saying this, he laughed out loud, not taking the matter to heart at all, and strode forward, ready to go home.
The Dragon Slayer likes to travel around the world, looking for dragons and taking their blood to hone his skills.
More than a year ago, he happened to encounter a dragon causing trouble in Tongye Prefecture, and he killed it casually, saving the authentic "Jade Pool" that was nearly wiped out. Then, feeling proud of himself, he married the young master of the sect.
A middle-aged man with high spirits and vigor, Long Zhan Hou is considered a leader among the young generation that has risen in Da Zhao in recent years. Although he acts a little arrogantly, he has not made any major mistakes and is highly appreciated by the bigwigs in Ling Xiao Pavilion.
Ge Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three of them were of the same opinion. In terms of official rank and martial arts, he was still a step behind the three of them.
Although there is only one word difference between the third rank and the fourth rank, only he himself knows how big the gap is.
Perhaps, that will be a gap that he will find difficult to cross in his lifetime.
If something goes wrong, a third-rank provincial governor, or a noble figure in Lingxiao Pavilion, can turn the tide and take the blame to make up for the mistake.
But if it were him, he would probably have to be sent to prison first, and then have the three judicial officials jointly try him before he could be cleared of all charges.
That kid named Song Chai Xin actually caught the attention of Pei Nanbei and Ye Cang.
Although he was the leader who entered the Martial Temple, he was seen by big shots so quickly. In the future, he might become a big shot in Aquarius State.
Just pretend you didn't see it.
Anyway, if something goes wrong, there are two big figures from Aquarius State to take responsibility. What does it have to do with him, the chief priest of the Temple of Martial Arts?
However, plans never keep up with changes.
The Wu Temple suddenly had a vast and majestic aura of catching demons and eliminating evil, which flashed by in an instant.
The four people present stood up at the same time, shocked and confused.
"This is."
"Someone has inherited the legacy of the seven 'kings' of Dazhao?"
"But those descendants shouldn't be included in this class."
The four people's eyes were like bright gold. They instantly looked through the wall and looked at the fleeting huge shadow of the Martial Temple.
When you see the most unlikely figure.
Even Pei Nanbei, who is wearing a mask and holds a high position.
He was frightened by this sudden change and his mind trembled. Then he raised his head slightly, revealing a slender neck under the mask.
"Ge Jijiu."
She spoke suddenly.
"Open the order to offer sacrifices, and look at the scenery of the Martial Temple to see which Qilin Son this session is?"
After Pei Nanbei's reminder, Ge Xiuzhi finally came back to his senses. His heart was surging. He hurriedly took out the wine-offering order and wanted to communicate with the Martial Temple. At the same time, he was thinking:
"Could it be Wang Xuanyi from the Wang family in Tai'anfang? Or Lu Miaomiao from the Lu family in Changlefang?"
"If they are the two of them, they are really lucky. They have a ray of divine consciousness from the Great Demon Lord. Although the inheritance left by the great sages in the Martial Temple is all very basic, it cannot withstand the symbolic significance that is placed here!"
"There has only ever been one person in Dazhao's lineage who truly belonged to the empress and who had firmly broken the 'Weishui Agreement and White Horse Oath' with her."
"The Empress is in seclusion now. If she comes out, for this favor, how can we not promote the former Great Demon Lord?"
Thinking of this, Ge Xiuzhi took advantage of the order to offer sacrifices to the emperor and took another peek at the corner of the Temple of Martial Arts.
Pei Nanbei, Ye Cang, and the Dragon Slayer who suddenly stopped at the threshold to watch.
Through a clear picture, he saw the wide-open Martial Temple, at the end of the hundred statues, standing in front of the statue of the 'Great Demon Lord', with his fingertips touching the sword and his eyes closed, as if he was contemplating the truth!
This time, it was like being struck by lightning!
Long live!
It’s this kid?
Can.
How could it be him!
The Great Demon Lord had a miserable life. He was once a noble when he was young, but was forced to become a scoundrel bandit because of the corrupt world where humans and demons mixed together. Later, he swept across the world and took on the responsibility of Jianghu and the Northwest. His sword was stained with the blood of countless demons!
he.
How could you recognize a half-demon? !
Ge Xiuzhi was shocked, but he was the chief priest after all and was in charge of the matter, so he was the first to react and hurriedly wanted to break into the Martial Temple.
Can.
The will of the Temple of Martial Arts took back his token and blocked his entry.
The four of them could only stand outside and stare blankly.
However, if we do not enter the Martial Temple now, if we wait until this group of people have finished their comprehension,
They were about to set foot on the ancient road that they had come from and turn back!
By that time, the emperor will be far away and the country will be in charge only by the powerful officials over there.
Ge Xiuzhi, the chief priest of the Martial Temple, had a bitter look on his face as he looked at the two people beside him.
But at this time,
The demon-hunting general Ye Cang was greatly surprised and couldn't help but look back at Pei Nanbei.
And the Aquarius Lord in front of us
At this moment, he stared at the figure, touching his chin, as if thinking about something.
