chsdbacks The 230th Imperial City of Qing Kingdom!
The 230th Imperial City of Qing Kingdom!
Hai Lao Er's expression was lewd, and his eyes became glazed over.
He then immediately put it back into the elixir bottle, his eyes sharply scanning his surroundings.
After confirming that no one was around, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Premium Essence Elixir is priceless and unavailable.
We must not be careless.
Even for those second-tier alchemists of extraordinary status, it is extremely difficult to refine high-quality pills.
Even if it were produced, it wouldn't be sold.
At this point, Zhang Chongxian had firmly established himself as a master in Hai Lao Er's mind.
The fact that he can casually give him high-quality pills is enough to prove that he is undoubtedly a master.
Humming a little tune, I walked out of the alley.
Looking at the peaceful scene before me, I thought to myself, "Two people have come to Xiaozhai Village in succession."
And each one is stronger than the last.
The Purple Cloud Sect is doomed for the Qing Kingdom.
But this has nothing to do with a nobody like me.
"Just live your own life well, this mess is not something a nobody like me, a street vendor, should get involved in..."
The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, its golden rays like a waterfall, splashing across the vast land.
Birds circled in the sky, and ancient trees reached for the sky in the forest.
Zhang Chongxian and the white mouse on his shoulder sped along and soon arrived at Xiaozhai Village, which was marked on the map.
Looking at the ruins of Xiaozhai Village, Zhang Chongxian frowned.
With his divine sense released, he saw the tombstones of Li Lan and Zhang Qingqing.
Some guesses began to form in my mind.
Then, in a flash, he arrived at the small wooden house halfway up the mountain.
Sensing the surrounding atmosphere, Zhang Chongxian was certain that someone had been here not long ago.
That person is most likely Xiao Yan.
Lifting the deck under the headboard, I saw a porcelain vase lying quietly in the groove.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, the envelope inside the porcelain bottle was poured out.
After browsing through it, his eyes turned gloomy.
"What a fine Ziyun Sect!"
Truly arrogant, domineering, and unparalleled!
Based on just a guess, he actually killed even unarmed mortals!
If Zhang Tiedan gets into trouble... humph!
Zhang Chongxian was filled with immense anger!
The Ziyun Sect pursued Zhang Xuanchen relentlessly, driving him into a corner.
He almost died at the hands of the withered wood immortal.
Li Lan and Zhang Qingqing from Xiaozhai Village were Zhang Xuanchen's saviors, but now they have been killed by disciples of the Ziyun Sect!
The Purple Cloud Sect has already found a way to bring about their own demise!
From the Qing Kingdom's perspective, the high-ranking officials did not do anything wrong by blocking the news.
In their eyes, it was nothing more than the death of some ordinary people.
Using this to suppress the Ziyun Sect and obtain compensation is naturally the best option.
We can't really go to war with the Ziyun Sect, which is also a Golden Core sect, just for a few hundred mortals, can we?
Zhang Chongxian did not believe that Qingguo was wrong.
After all, the incident in Xiaozhai Village had nothing to do with Qingguo.
He made a simple change to his appearance, then took out a black robe from his storage ring and put it on. After doing all this, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the capital of the Qing Kingdom.
Given the Zhang family's current situation, it is not advisable to attract attention or provoke powerful enemies.
Therefore, his identity cannot be revealed.
Disguise is necessary.
As for why they went to Qing Kingdom, it was naturally to use the power of the Qing Kingdom's royal family to find Zhang Tiedan's whereabouts.
Since the royal family of Qing Kingdom chose to suppress this matter, they must bear the corresponding consequences today!
Although the Qing Kingdom is strong, it is not weak either!
Two hours later.
Imperial City.
Fengtian Temple.
It's time for the court meeting.
All the court officials gathered in the main hall.
Because of the need to govern a vast territory, many of the court officials were ordinary people without any cultivation.
However, these mortals who can enter the imperial court as officials either have the backing of a cultivation power or come from a family of cultivators.
They are no strangers to cultivators.
Emperor Qin Zheng of the Qing Kingdom sat upright on the dragon throne in a dragon robe, his expression solemn, exuding the aura of a ruler.
They listened quietly to the reports from the various ministers in the hall.
His face showed no emotion, and he did not express any opinion.
His thoughts are unfathomable.
Just then, a very authoritative voice rang out from somewhere in the palace.
Two terrifying auras shot into the sky.
"Fellow Daoist! You've gone too far!"
The sound was vast and resounding, echoing throughout half of the imperial city.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden sound. Palace maids and some ministers were even thrown to the ground by the sudden aura.
Shocked.
Qin Zheng exchanged a glance with the cultivators inside the Fengtian Hall.
His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
It appeared in the air the next moment.
Looking at the three people facing off in the distance, Qin Zheng's eyes were filled with a solemn expression.
The middle-aged man in black robes with a sword on his back who was confronting his two mid-stage Golden Core ancestors was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!
Could it be that one of the princes has offended this powerful being?
That's not right. Although they've been making a fuss lately, they would never do something so stupid.
On the other side, the powerful figures from the Qing Kingdom who were constantly gathering in the air showed no fear in Zhang Chongxian's eyes.
If he's determined to leave, these people can't stop him.
Looking at the two elderly men before him, Zhang Chongxian clasped his hands in a polite greeting and said:
"I am Gu Yun, and I greet you two fellow Daoists."
My sudden visit may have startled you both; please forgive me.
Seeing Zhang Chongxian's actions, the two patriarchs of the Qin family breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the other party is not here to cause trouble.
Although the Qin family is not afraid of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, it is best to avoid provoking him.
He immediately returned the greeting with clasped hands.
"Qin Ming (Qin Lu) greets Fellow Daoist Gu."
Although Qin Ming was certain that the other party had no intention of making a move, he did not let his guard down.
Furthermore, he was quite displeased with Zhang Chongxian's reckless flight through the imperial city, and went straight to the point:
"Fellow Daoist Gu, may I ask what brings you to my Qing Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxian dusted off his black robe and replied:
"It's nothing much, I just want to ask about the incident in Xiaozhai Village five years ago."
"Xiaozhai Village?" Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and Qin Lu exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
They couldn't understand why a Golden Core cultivator would inquire about an obscure little village.
Qin Zheng, who was not far away, frowned upon hearing the words "Xiaozhai Village".
He still remembered Xiaozhai Village because of its connection with the Ziyun Sect.
After all, it was Xiaozhai Village that made the arrogant and domineering Ziyun Sect suffer a setback back then.
Could this elder have some connection with Xiaozhai Village?
He flashed to Qin Ming and Qin Lu and exchanged a brief telepathic message.
After hearing the whole story, Qin Ming looked at Zhang Chongxian with a serious expression, his face becoming noticeably tense.
If this trivial matter were to provoke a mysterious and powerful figure for the Qing Kingdom, it would be a huge loss.
He said slowly:
"Fellow Daoist Gu, the destruction of Xiaozhai Village has nothing to do with my Qing Kingdom."
"I know," Zhang Chongxian said. "I stayed briefly in Xiaozhai Village five years ago."
They found a promising young man there and took him on as their disciple.
He also took care of two evil cultivators who wanted to attack Xiaozhai Village.
Immediately afterwards, I received an important message and left Xiaozhai Village without taking my apprentice with me.
Now that I have returned, I have learned that Xiaozhai Village has been destroyed.
Fortunately, my disciple was blessed with good fortune and was not harmed by the thieves.
But as a result, his whereabouts are unknown.
Therefore, I would like to ask the Qing Kingdom to help investigate a young man named Zhang Tiedan.
She is about twelve years old.
The reason he claimed to be Zhang Tiedan's master was naturally to justify his actions.
Zhao Wu and Hong Ming of the Ziyun Sect suspected that the immortal hiding in Xiaozhai Village was Zhang Xuanchen, who wielded the Earth Core Fire Crystal.
But they only had doubts.
I haven't seen it, so I can't be sure.
Now that he claims to be the immortal from Xiaozhai Village, who can verify it?
This way, they can maintain a moral high ground when attacking the Ziyun Sect!
It's impossible to destroy them, but it's enough to severely damage their reputation!
The disciples of the sect brutally murdered unarmed ordinary people simply because they had doubts.
The family has become corrupt, and its disciples are cruel and inhumane!
Doing bad things but still wanting a good reputation.
Excuse me.
I, Zhang Chongxian, will not allow it!
