Chapter 1543 Confirmed to be him!
Everyone gets excited just thinking about it.
However, at this moment, there were flashes of fire in the nearby mountains and forests, and the sound of flapping wings was heard in the sky.
The pursuers are coming.
The Soul Gathering Array suddenly recovered, and those who knew about it would definitely rush to the center of the array to check it out as soon as possible!
"Hold on for a while!" Bai Ziqi asked everyone, "At least until the lamp spirit successfully finds the trail!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"There, there!" There were shouts and figures of more than twenty people running out from the bushes.
Bai Qi waved his hand towards them and threw out seventeen or eighteen iron lotus seeds.
They are as big as real lotus seeds. After leaving the hand, they fly faster and faster. When approaching the opponent, they suddenly collide with it at high speed. There is a series of loud bangs and then they explode.
There are countless small steel balls in each iron chain, which explode in all directions.
Seven or eight of the twenty people were blown to the ground with screams. Two of the unlucky ones were blinded. The rest were shocked and angry, and rushed forward with weapons raised.
The people from the Heavenly Palace attacked and knocked them to the ground in just a dozen breaths. The remaining two people saw that the situation was not good and turned to escape, but the servant shook his hand and shot out a golden light, which cut them in half.
There were three waves of enemies like this coming within half an hour.
The further you go, the harder it becomes to fight as the number of people increases.
There were also multi-colored fireworks rising into the night sky nearby, indicating that the Xiaoyao Sect or Lingshan were gathering people here to capture the uninvited guests.
Bai Ziqi often lowered his head to look at the purple gold plate with a heavy expression.
Haven't found it yet.
There was a sudden buzzing sound behind him, and the servant boy immediately shouted, "Sir, the emperor's scales!"
The green scales embedded in the stone wall trembled twice, and suddenly there was a crackling sound and a crack appeared on the surface.
Bai Ziqi's expression changed: "Not good, the scales can't bear the pressure of the formation!"
This spirit gathering formation is so heavy that even the emperor’s scales cannot bear it!
On the other hand, what kind of magical object was originally located at the center of the formation that could support such a large formation for years!
"Wait a little longer." After finally activating the formation, Bai Ziqi wanted a result.
But fifty breaths later, there were two more popping sounds on the green scales, and two more cracks appeared.
Then it cracked faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, there were seven or eight cracks. The servant boy said anxiously: "My lord, Qinglin is going to break!"
Bai Ziqi looked at the purple gold plate, sighed, and used force to pick out the green scales:
"Let's go." It was too late anyway, so he'd better leave quickly before the enemy's main force arrived at the battlefield.
Bai Ziqi has no intention of fighting to the death with Lingshan on the opponent's territory.
Fortunately, Baimao Mountain is very vast. After leaving the pebble beach, the people from the Heavenly Palace can wait for an opportunity to shoot down the bird whistles in the sky and the monsters hidden in the bushes, thus avoiding the eyes and ears of the pursuers.
A day and a half later, they safely left Baimao Mountain and returned to the small town at the foot of Xiaoyao Sect Mountain.
"Let's go to Keshan." Bai Ziqi didn't even rest and ordered everyone to set off.
The noise they made on Baimao Mountain was quite loud. Once the Xiaoyao Sect reacts, they will most likely block off the surrounding villages and towns and conduct a strict search.
Once the green scales were broken, their operation in Baimao Mountain would be over. In the treasure chest that Bai Ziqi brought out, there was no treasure that was more suitable for activating the spirit gathering formation than the green scales of the demon emperor.
Their trip was not completely fruitless, at least they found out the lair of Master Qianhuan, no, the cave was in the northeast direction.
As for the changes made by Master Qianhuan to the Great Tiangang Formation, Bai Ziqi always felt that there was a mystery hidden in it.
You still have to take the time to discuss it carefully.
And one more thing:
Who took away the sacred object in the eyes of the Spirit Gathering Array?
Did this person do it unintentionally, or did he do it intentionally to deal with Master Qianhuan?
From his successful experiment of activating the Spirit Gathering Array, it can be known that this divine object is indeed related to the fallen Dragon God.
Well, Dragon God.
This series of new changes on the Shining Gold Plain seem to be related to the legendary Black Dragon God, not just the Nine Nether Emperor's own claim.
Strange phenomena occur frequently.
Could it be that the Dragon God really was reincarnated?
Thinking of this, Bai Ziqi couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
After returning to the town, the divine servant he had sent to Xuncheng to look for clues also came back and was waiting for him in the town. As soon as they met, he presented him with a letter.
"Master Dushi, these are the people and things that Nangong Yan came into contact with ten days before his death. We found a person who joined the Yuwei of the Kingdom of Biao last year and was also under the command of Nangong Yan. Although he is not Nangong Yan's confidant, he has a basic understanding of the actions of Nangong and the Yuwei." The divine servant continued, "He has not been in the Yuwei for long and has no enemies. After the fall of the Kingdom of Biao, he stayed in Xuncheng and opened a food store."
Bai Ziqi took the letter and opened it, and saw that it was filled with dense words.
It seems that Nangong Yan was a very busy man when he was alive, as he had so many activities scheduled in ten days.
Most of these were actions of the Yuwei arranged by Nangong Yan, and others included entering the palace to meet the emperor, killing people and interrogating them, etc.
Bai Ziqi scanned the area with his mind, but didn't see any familiar names, so he asked, "What happened on the day Nangong Yan was killed?"
"We surrounded and wiped out the remnants of the Mai Party." The divine servant had also questioned the feather guard in detail, and now he told him everything, "We surrounded and killed more than a dozen Mai Party members in an inn in Xuncheng, leaving no one alive."
"Mai Party?"
"Mai Liansheng, an important official of the Kingdom of Biao, was beheaded by the King of Biao for treason many years ago. Later, the people of Biao often rebelled in the name of Mai Liansheng, and Nangong Yan called them the 'Mai Party'." The divine servant said, "Those dozen Mai Party members were very powerful. This narrator participated in the roundup and was seriously injured, and many other feather guards were killed. The leaders of these Mai Party members also shouted that they were the Shadow Fang Guards of the Kingdom of Mou. Nangong Yan will definitely pay the price for taking action against them!"
"Then Nangong Yan went to the palace."
"Shadowfang Guards? Nangong Yan killed the Shadowfang Guards of the Mou Kingdom?" Bai Ziqi frowned. "No wonder. The Shadowfang Guards are the personal guards of Emperor Mou. The Mou Kingdom cannot swallow this humiliation. What happened later?"
"After Nangong Yan came out of the palace of King Bi, he hurriedly left with a large number of elite soldiers, saying that there were still remnants of the Mai Party on the run." The divine servant continued, "This man was seriously injured and didn't go, so he was not hanged on the city wall."
Oh, so Nangong Yan went to chase the fleeing Shadowfang Guards that day, but was killed outside the city gate?
Then it has nothing to do with Emperor Jiuyou.
Bai Ziqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but how could it be so unpredictable to find the right answer every time you investigate a case?
The servant boy asked in a low voice: "Master, where are we going now?"
They had just killed a lot of people on Baimao Mountain, so this small town was not a place to stay for long.
Bai Ziqi thought for a moment before saying, "Go northeast to track down Master Qianhuan, and stop by Keshan on the way."
Weighing the two evils, of course, True Man Qianhuan is more important and more important to the Heavenly Palace and the gods.
During this process, he can also track down Emperor Jiuyou.
But he didn't know that when they were replenishing drinking water in the town, someone happened to walk into the restaurant from outside, turned around and saw him, and his eyes were fixed.
But this man concealed it very well. He looked away after just one glance, went to buy some wine and some cooked food, and even chatted with the waiter.
Afterwards, Bai Ziqi and his party boarded their carriages and headed east quickly.
The main street was only a hundred feet long from the east to the west. They were out of town in a blink of an eye. The man behind them raised his head and whistled. A thrush landed on the roof of the shed. He pointed at Bai Ziqi's carriage and said, "Follow him. Be careful. The other party has a strong sense of perception."
The thrush flapped its wings and flew up, following far behind Bai Ziqi's carriage.
After sending out the follower bird demon, the man immediately got up and rushed to Xiaoyao Sect to ask to see Sect Master Li.
Sect Leader Li was listening to the news from the back mountain and came out to meet him:
"Mr. Peng, did you have a smooth journey? You arrived early."
Xiaoyao Sect originally had a bad relationship with the Kingdom of Peng, but after the fall of the Kingdom of Peng, You Enguang came to power and established the Kingdom of Peng. Xiaoyao Sect participated in the coup to a certain extent, and its relationship with the Kingdom of Mou became closer. The people sent by the Kingdom of Mou either stayed in Xuncheng or stationed in Xiaoyao Sect.
This Mr. Peng is the visitor from Mou State. Master Li knew that he was coming, but he didn't expect him to come more than half a month in advance.
Mr. Peng asked seriously, "Did something happen at Baimao Mountain?"
Master Li was startled. "Someone broke in, but they haven't been caught yet. How did Mr. Peng..."
How do you know?
"Do you know what it came from?"
Sect Leader Li was a little ashamed. "More than 30 of my disciples were injured, and even the guards sent by your country to Baimao Mountain were reduced in number. But we still don't have any information about the invaders. Except that they can use tiny fire spirits to search the giant fern tree."
"Fire Spirit? Did you catch it?"
"We caught them, but they went out halfway." Sect Leader Li turned around and gave an order. Soon someone brought a few square porcelain boxes. When they were opened, they were full of gray-white residue. "There were seven fire spirits in total. After they went out, they turned into this semi-ointment-like substance."
"Candle wax and charcoal slag." Mr. Peng's face was heavy. "It was indeed him!"
Without waiting for Master Li to ask, he said directly: "I just saw an uninvited guest in the town, from the Lingxu City Heavenly Palace."
Sect Leader Li's expression suddenly changed.
Were the people who disturbed Baimao Mountain previously people from the Heavenly Palace?
"I went to Lingxu City five years ago. At that time, the Heavenly Palace held a grand ceremony. It was so grand that it is still fresh in my memory. One of the hosts was the man who appeared in Qinghe Town just now—" Mr. Peng said slowly, "Duyun Envoy Bai Ziqi!"
Duyunshi! Isn't that a high-ranking official of the Heavenly Palace? Sect Leader Li was shocked and hesitated before saying, "He is here for the new formation as well?"
The Xiaoyao Sect has been established for more than a hundred years, and has occupied Baimao Mountain for more than a hundred years. However, it was only recently discovered that a hidden formation had appeared on Baimao Mountain!
When was this formation built and who built it? Master Li wanted to find out, but Mou Guo never mentioned it, saying that it was a secret passed down from ancient times and was not worth telling to outsiders.
Master Li, who was regarded as an "outsider", did not ask any more questions, as he knew his own worth very well.
"Most likely. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Palace send someone here, let alone a strong man of the level of Du Yunshi?" Mr. Peng spoke quickly, "I remember there is a spiritual bird, the golden-crowned crane, in your mountain. It is much faster than ordinary bird monsters. I want to use it to send a message."
He did not ask Master Li to send anyone to pursue Envoy Du Yun.
The Xiaoyao Sect doesn’t have that ability.
