Chapter 677: Exploratory Contact

…

"When was this letter delivered to Shenzhou?" Xia Fan looked at the messenger solemnly after reading the entire letter.

"Sir, it was about three days ago." The man replied.

"What about before that? Did the holder of this letter mention when the client gave the letter to him?"

"This... subordinate doesn't know."

"What's wrong?" Ning Wanjun also noticed his strangeness, "Is there something wrong with Luo Qingqing?"

"Not yet, but judging from the content of the letter, we will be the ones in trouble." Xia Fan held the wooden ring in his hand - if what Luo Qingqing said is true, it means that now besides Qixing and Xie Sui , there is a new threat. Moreover, this kind of threat can turn the most trusted person into a deadly enemy in an instant, which is absolutely a devastating blow to a society that relies on interpersonal relationships to operate.

In addition, the last half of Luo Qingqing's words became extremely sloppy, probably added temporarily, but the content is equally shocking, and at first glance it seems like a fantasy. If it were other people, they might be 100% convinced and 90% doubtful, but Xia Fan was at least 50% convinced, for no other reason than that he had witnessed the great demon being swallowed by the rift in Azure Castle, and the strange space behind the rift.

There he encounters an ugly monster that resembles a humanoid.

The latter did seem to be isolated by something, and could never get closer to him.

The same goes for when fighting Anjia Onmyoji.

Before the demon died, a crack appeared in the sky above the Great Wilderness.

If we regard the back of the gap as another world, it can be consistent with the Black Gate Sect's statement. The only problem is that he is the only one who has the memory of this scene. Both Li and Taksis were with him. Fighting, but no one was impressed by what he said. If they couldn't even see them, how did the Black Gate Cult realize that the world was protected?

"Call Mo Yun and the people from the Privy Council," Xia Fan said to the princess, "let's talk somewhere else."

…

"Hey kid, I heard that you stayed all night in Her Royal Highness's palace last night..." In the conference room of the villa, Qian leaned sideways next to Xia Fan and said furtively, "Is it true? "

"I can't lie...but it's actually not what you think." The latter replied in a low voice.

"I understand, I understand everything." Qian patted him on the shoulder, "What a good boy, he has made a difference, unlike several other core members who are still a lot older -"

He suddenly closed his mouth mid-sentence.

Because Mo Yun and Yan Qing opposite him cast cold glances at the same time, and those looks could almost kill someone.

Even Yu Yi obediently returned to his right position.

"There's nothing special about this ring." Mo Yun put down the ring in his hand and looked at Ning Wanjun, who was in the first seat. The princess was like an outsider at the moment, looking at her with a smile, as if she was completely unaffected by the rumors. This made her feel a little relieved, but also a little confused. After all, the princess was not like this on weekdays. "The wood is peach wood, which is common in the south, but it's not a big problem to replace it with other substrates. The carvings on it are improved from the sprouting technique in Dui Shu, so it's not difficult to reproduce. In addition, the elf's Xinxing Technique is just right It’s Dui Shu, so the mechanism will be produced quickly. The key is... can it really distinguish the evil infection that Lord Xia mentioned? "

This is also the question of most people present.

In the impression of senior officials, the Black Gate Sect is definitely synonymous with a terrorist organization and the embodiment of King Yong's cruelty and cruelty. Any evil man-made evil spirits are inseparable from them. It would be perfectly reasonable for such a surviving organization to spread infection, but according to Luo Qingqing, they seemed to be fighting evil spirits and trying to eliminate the threat of infection, which was incredible.

"Unless Hei Menqian predicted Luo Qingqing's identity in advance and expected that she would write a letter to tell Jin Xia." Ning Wanjun said, "My intuition tells me that the other party cannot achieve this step. What's more, the technique itself has no It’s harmful, even if it’s activated, it doesn’t matter.”

"Anyway, let's try to imitate a few first." Xia Fan decided, "I will take the first one."

"After that, will all those who sense Qi have to wear one?"

"All the Qi Sensers in Jinxia City have been registered. If there are so many rings that are too late to be produced, you can just test them without wearing them."

Mo Yun nodded and said it was okay.

"Another piece of information is the world's barrier." Xia Fan asked in a deep voice, "Did Ning Qianshi really not mention this to you?"

"Absolutely not." Qian said decisively, "Although I seldom cared about the chores of the Privy Council at that time, I was basically aware of the major events involving the movements of the alchemists and the plans of the general office. The second prince did not live in the Privy Council from the beginning. Even if you want to hide the news from Qixing, it is impossible to do so. "

"I guess that only the Seven-Star Envoy is qualified to reveal this matter, but the Tianshu Envoy of Qi State is an exception." Yan Qing pondered for a long time and said, "The Seven-Star Mansion has not wanted He'er to serve as the Tianshu Envoy for a long time. position."

Xia Fan couldn't help but rub his forehead, "It would be great if there was a way to spy inside Qixing."

Nowadays, Jinxia City has collected a lot of information, and its horizons are much wider than before, but these are not enough to piece together a complete picture of the world. Coupled with the rumors that the Holy Grail is about to appear in the West Pole, the Black Sect's actions here, and the further threats from the Seven Stars, the entire continent feels like it is in a state of turmoil.

"If this letter was sent a month ago, then the Black Gate Cult's team should be near the Ganshen border now." Li shook his ears and said, "Why don't we take the initiative to contact them - I feel that this group of people is easier to deal with than the Seven Stars Privy Council. Instead of getting information from the Xu State General Office, it is better to ask the Shengtian Venerable about the situation directly."

This suggestion caused a brief silence at the scene.

But soon, Qian expressed his agreement, "Miss Li said it well, and I also think that the Black Gate Cult should not be allowed to act recklessly. Since Miss Luo mentioned in the letter that they are very different from what we remember, then we should go directly to them, and we can also take Ganzhou as the first area to recover. If we find that they have any plans, don't wait for them to enter the depths of the mountains, just wipe them out on the spot."

Yan Qing also quickly stood on Li's side.

For the Black Gate Cult, the former core members of the Privy Council still maintained a high level of vigilance and distrust.

But doing so can indeed be combined with Jinxia's unification plan, thus avoiding the problem of dividing troops.

As for whether to swallow Ganzhou, Liuzhou or Qingzhou first, it doesn't make much difference to Jinxia.

The richness of Liuzhou and Qingzhou will make it more difficult for the princess to win people's hearts.

Although Ganzhou is poor, its mineral resources are very rich because it is backed by mountains, and its development prospects are not bad.

Ning Wanjun and Xia Fan looked at each other and had basically made up their minds.

"In this case, let the reconnaissance team enter Ganzhou first to find out the movements of the Black Gate Cult." The princess said calmly, "We must prevent them from disrupting Ganzhou and ensure the safety of tens of thousands of migrants."

"Let me go." Li volunteered, "I know a caravan that happens to be active around Ganshen. Maybe I can get some information that Jinxia needs. In addition, Wu Lie trusts me more than others."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Ning Wanjun agreed happily.
