Chapter 260: The Leader of the Celestial God Cult

The night was falling.

In the courtyard, the cold wind was bleak.

Four black shadows appeared silently and fell around the woman in the red dress, surrounding her.

She was wrapped in a dark robe with strange patterns embroidered on it, similar to ancient text patterns, giving people a sense of oppression and heaviness.

All four of them were covered with black cloth, covered under the black robe, and their appearance could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of dark eyes were exposed, looking at the woman in red in the courtyard.

"Saint, the leader has ordered that no one can come to see him without summons!"

Liu Su, dressed in red, stood in the courtyard, the cold wind blew her hair, and her cold eyes swept over several people, "This saint has important things to report to the leader!"

One of the black robes said in a low voice, "No one can see the leader without the leader's order, this is the rule!"

Liu Su said coldly: "Are you going to stop me?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings tightened in vain.

The four people present instantly felt a sharp breath rolling over them. Their faces changed and they used their energy to resist.

Saint, are you trying to force your way in? !

"Saint, you... are you trying to disobey the leader's orders?!"

There was a bit of unfriendliness in the low voice.

Liu Su didn't say anything, but just stared coldly at the black-robed figure in front of her.

Her long skirt fluttered as she stepped forward.

"Swish!"

The sound of swords being unsheathed rang out all around.

The chill was overwhelming!

The murderous aura was pervasive.

"Saint, don't make things difficult for us!"

Liu Su ignored them and continued to move forward.

Her black hair fluttered, and there was no emotion on her beautiful and cold face. A touch of red skirt was like the evil spirit in the middle of the night, forcing the faces of the four guardians present to change suddenly.

The atmosphere was tense, and it was already the most tense moment!

At this moment, a dull voice came from the back of the courtyard: "The leader has an order, the saint invites you."

As soon as these words came out, the four guardians around them, who were on edge, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved of a heavy burden.

The saint in front of them had not seen for a long time, which put more pressure on them!

In the Tianshen Sect, apart from the leader, the saint's martial arts are the most unfathomable. Now that they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, the saint's strength seems to have improved again...

Everyone's eyes were complicated and uncertain.

The saint's martial arts have become stronger, and it is not known whether it is good or bad for their Tianshen Sect...

"Saint, please!"

The black-robed guardian in front of him made way.

Liu Su still said nothing, looking up at the back of the courtyard. After a moment, he stepped in.

...

In the backyard, there is a bottomless underground secret room.

After passing through the dim and quiet secret room, he came to the depths of the secret room.

This place is the main altar of the Tianshen Sect in Beijing.

It is also the place where the leader of the Heavenly God Religion is in seclusion.

At this moment, in the dim secret room, lights are burning in the niches, and in the depths of the secret room, several statues are placed for worship. The statues are also dim, as if shrouded in some ancient and dilapidated atmosphere, which is extremely strange.

In front of the statues, sandalwood is curling, covering the entire closed secret room.

Liu Su stopped and looked at the statues in front of her expressionlessly, without saying a word.

This is the faith worshipped by the Heavenly God Religion. It is rumored that the several gods who founded the Heavenly God Religion are the foundation for the development of believers in the Heavenly God Religion over the years.

But...

Liu Su's eyes are cold.

As a saint of the Heavenly God Religion, she never believes in these things.

Faith in this thing is mostly a strategy to fool the people.

She coldly moved her eyes away from the statues and fell in front of the altar, and her cold eyes gradually became solemn.

In front of the statue altar, a strange figure was kneeling in front of the statue with his back to her.

He was a burly man, wearing a loose black robe that covered his entire body.

Just a glance, a trace of deep fear emerged in Liu Su's eyes.

But soon, she quickly restrained all her emotions, lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Master!"

The cold voice did not wait for a response.

Liu Su did not continue to speak.

The secret room was silent.

After a long time, the black robe kneeling in front of the altar of the statue finally stood up slowly and inserted the incense in his hand into the altar.

Turning around, he looked at Liu Su not far behind him.

The inky black robe covered this person. He wore a hideous green mask on his face, which looked extremely creepy. He was wrapped tightly all over his body, and only a pair of cold eyes were revealed from the bronze mask.

This person is the mysterious master of the Tianshen Sect!

No one knows his origins, and no one has ever seen his true appearance.

Since Liu Su started to remember, this master seems to always look like this. No one can really get close to him, and no one knows his details.

Extremely mysterious!

Inside the bronze mask, the cold eyes stared at Liu Su for a long time, and then he said in a deep voice: "Does the Saint want to see me?"

The voice was very low and a little hoarse, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Liu Su lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The elder was killed in Yanzhou!"

Hearing this news, the leader in front of him did not react as violently as expected. His expression did not change, and his tone was still low: "How did he die?"

Liu Su raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then said calmly: "After the Linzhou plan failed, the leader ordered the elder to go to Xunyang City with me to eradicate the Wang family..."

"On the way back to Beijing, the elder met the prince of Lin. In order to recover the losses of the failed Linzhou plan, the elder decided to take a risk, but he didn't expect to fall into a trap..."

"The elder and several disciples around him all died tragically at the hands of the prince of Lin, and no one survived!"

Liu Su explained calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

In the secret room, the leader was silent for a long time.

After a while, he looked at Liu Su deeply: "Did the elder really die at the hands of Prince Lin?"

Liu Su's heart suddenly jumped, but she remained calm and said lightly: "Yes!"

The leader did not speak.

Liu Su did not speak again.

The death of the elder was a big blow to their Tianshen Sect. With the death of the elder, the power in the sect was in chaos, and the other elders began to fight for power and erode the power of the elder.

In addition to the failure of the Linzhou plan and the revenge of the Linwang Mansion some time ago, the Tianshen Sect suffered heavy losses.

As for the death of the elder, Liu Su had expected it long ago, and the leader would definitely suspect her.

However, she was not worried.

Everything Liu Su said was almost a lie.

The elder did assassinate Prince Lin, and he was indeed tricked and seriously injured. The only thing Liu Su concealed was the fact that she killed the Great Elder herself.

However, no one would know this.

The Great Elder's death was naturally blamed on the Prince of Lin.

After a long silence in the secret room, the voice of the leader was heard again.

"Why did the Linzhou plan fail?"

Liu Su said silently: "It was my subordinates who underestimated Lin Hengzhong's strength..."

She was confident that even if her strength was not as good as that of Lin Hengzhong, she would have a chance of success in a sneak attack.

But she didn't expect that she still underestimated Lin Hengzhong's terrifying skills.

"Where is the Xuanyang Map?"

The leader stared at her.

Liu Su said: "My subordinates sneaked into the Linwang Mansion and searched everywhere, but they didn't find any information about the Xuanyang Map..."

"No?"

The leader stared at her coldly.

Liu Su said calmly: "I controlled the prince of Lin before and sent him to Ruyi Tower to look for it, but still couldn't find any clues about the Xuanyang Map..."

"I think the only person in the entire Lin Palace who knows the whereabouts of the Xuanyang Map is the Lin Prince..."

"It's my incompetence."

Silence!

The secret room fell into a strange silence again.

Liu Su lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Linzhou plan this time was to assassinate the Lin Prince and to help the leader find the legendary Xuanyang Map.

However, nothing was gained.

Even the lady was lost and the soldiers were lost!

Thinking of this, a familiar figure gradually emerged in Liu Su's mind, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

But soon, the scene he saw that night emerged again, and some anger emerged.

It flashed by.

"It's not your fault."

After a while, the voice of the leader came: "Lin Hengzhong is such a smart person, it's hard for you to get close to him!"

Liu Su didn't speak.

"However, Lin Hengzhong didn't tell the secret of the Xuanyang Diagram to the Prince of Lin?"

The leader seemed to be thinking about something.

Liu Su was silent for a while, and said: "Indeed, he didn't. I have tried many times, and the Prince of Lin should not know the existence of the Xuanyang Diagram. Even... Lin Hengzhong didn't even pass on the Xuanyang Heart Method to him..."

The leader's voice was low, and there was a hint of confusion: "The Prince of Lin is his only son, why didn't Lin Hengzhong teach him?"

Liu Su didn't speak.

She naturally understood the reason.

However, she didn't say it.

After a while, the leader looked up at Liu Su: "The Prince of Lin is now in the capital, right?"

Liu Su's heart skipped a beat, and she had an ominous premonition: "Yes... What does the leader want?"

"Bring him to see me." The leader said expressionlessly.

Liu Su was stunned.

"Is there a problem?"

Liu Su was silent for a while, and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult... After the last time, he has been wary of me, and there are many masters around him. It's not easy to bring him back..."

The leader looked at her and said lightly: "It's not difficult for you, right?"

Liu Su was silent for a while, and then said: "I will do my best."

The leader nodded: "Remember, don't reveal your identity information... If there is nothing else, go down first."

Liu Su stood there, without moving.

"Anything else?"

Liu Su was silent for a long time, raised her eyes and looked at the leader in front of her, staring at the hideous bronze mask: "I have something to ask the leader."

The leader stared at her: "What is it?"

"How did my mother die?"

The eyes behind the bronze mask seemed to condense: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Liu Su said calmly: "I want to know."

"Are you doubting our sect?"

"I dare not."

Silence.

The leader stared at Liu Su for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "I told you a long time ago that your mother was the most outstanding saint of my Tianshen Sect. Unfortunately, she loved the wrong person..."

"When Lin Hengzhong pacified more than a dozen countries in southern Xinjiang, the world was in chaos. Your mother's family was forced to leave their hometown due to the turbulent situation... Not long after you were born, your mother was regarded as an enemy by the Linwang Army in order to find your father. She was seriously injured and died in the encirclement..."

Liu Su listened silently without saying a word.

The leader stared at her: "Did anyone tell you?"

Liu Su said: "No."

"It has been so many years since the incident, and I am not particularly clear about what happened. But your mother's death must be related to Lin Hengzhong..."

Liu Su was silent: "I understand."

Then, she raised her eyes and said: "Thank you, leader, for clearing up my doubts."

…

After passing through the cold passage, leaving the secret room and walking out of the backyard, in the dark night, the cold wind blew on the red dress, making the silent night even more lonely.

There was silence in the front yard, not a soul in sight. Liu Su left the house, walked through the deep alleys, and came to the streets of the town. On the street not far away, Youdao's figure has been waiting for a long time.

"Saint!"

Ling'er trotted forward with gentle steps, her face full of nervousness and anxiety: "You finally came out, you scared me to death!"

Liu Su glanced at her: "What's wrong?"

"I'm not worried about you, Saint..."

Ling'er patted her chest, looked around, and then leaned closer in a low voice: "The death of the great elder... The leader didn't doubt you, right?"

"No." Liu Su shook his head gently.

"That's good……"

Ling'er took a deep breath, relieved, and then thought of something: "Holy girl, what do you want to see the leader for today?"

Liu Su said: "There are some things that are not clear to me. Please ask the leader."

"Did the saint ask?"

"Asked."

"How's it going? Did you clear up the doubts?"

Liu Su was silent for a moment: "No."

"What should we do?"

"have no idea."

Liu Su looked back in the direction he came from and remained silent.

"Saint, where are we going now?"

"Let's go into town."

Liu Su raised her eyes and looked ahead. Not far away, there was the towering city wall.

Looming!

…

When night fell, Lin Jiangnian returned to Jiang Mansion.

"Your Highness, are you back?"

Xiaozhu, who was standing under the eaves of the courtyard and pacing boredly, saw His Highness and trotted forward excitedly.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Xiaozhu, whose face was red from the cold, and hugged her into his arms: "Why don't you go to the room?"

"Waiting for you, Your Highness!"

Being held by His Highness, Xiaozhu's face turned red, and he buried his head in His Highness's arms shyly, and said softly and sweetly: "Why did Your Highness come back so late today?"

"There was an accident, which delayed some time."

Lin Jiangnian felt a little sad when he thought of what happened when he met the Miss Zhao today.

"By the way, Your Highness, after you went to Zhao Mansion today, someone came to see you again." Xiaozhu said.

"who?"

"It seems to be someone from Mitiansi..."

Xiaozhu thought for a while and blinked: "However, the other party left immediately after hearing that you were not around."

Mitiansi?

Lin Jiangnian was startled and quickly realized who the visitor was.

"knew."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, then looked at the little maid in his arms: "Let's go back to the room first."

"oh."

Xiaozhu nodded, and then quickly remembered something: "Wait, I'll go talk to Sister Zhiyuan first."

When Xiaozhu was getting up, Leng Buding noticed Youdao's gaze coming towards him. Subconsciously raising his eyes, he saw an additional figure not far away at the entrance to the courtyard next door.

She was leaning there quietly, her long skirt hanging down, her temperament cold, looking at the two people hugging each other.

"Zhi, Sister Zhiyuan..."

Xiaozhu's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly broke away from His Highness's arms and ran away shyly.

Lin Jiangnian looked at the little maid who was "escaped", then his eyes fell on Zhiyuan, and he slowly stepped forward.

"I'm back."

Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged and she nodded lightly.

Seeing that Zhiyuan didn't respond much, Lin Jiangnian gently grabbed her hand and put it in his palm, "What's wrong?"

Zhiyuan just looked at him and said nothing.

"Why, are you worried that I will be deceived by that young lady from the Zhao family?"

Lin Jiangnian said jokingly: "Don't worry, I will never be easily tempted by beauty."

Zhiyuan was silent for a while, then withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

"Let's wash off the rouge smell on your body first."

"..."
