Chapter 153: Clouds Moving in All Directions

"Go, go, go!"

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for!"

Snap!

The whip of the soldier hit the boy's face, leaving a bloody mark.

The boy staggered, looking only twelve or thirteen years old, his Taoist robe was tattered, a broken nail was inserted in his dantian, and the black iron chain penetrated his scapula, connecting with the huge iron shackle.

This set of torture instruments was specially used by the court against criminal monks. Once they were sealed, their magic power collapsed and their bodies were weaker than ordinary people.

An hour ago, the boy was listening to the sutra in the lecture hall and comprehending the legal principles of the Taoist sages.

Then a disaster suddenly struck, and the entire sect was besieged. There were tower ships in the sky to blockade, and immortal masters set up formations on the ground.

Blood and fire shattered the boy's dream of cultivating immortals, and he became a prisoner. The black iron chain strung him and his teacher and fellow disciples together, and they boarded the tower ship one by one.

Before boarding the ship, he passed by the river beach and saw a ferocious dragon head. .

Under the sunlight, the dragon scales reflected the golden light, as if cast in red gold.

"Ahem!"

The young man staggered in fear: "Is this the God of the River!?"

He was shocked. In addition to worshipping the founder of Taoism, the Golden Dragon Society also set up a hall to worship the God of the Red River.

The elders in the sect often told their disciples the story of how the ancestor accidentally inherited the Dragon Palace and embarked on the path of Taoism, and finally became a god after a struggle.

"Stand up!"

The soldiers saw that the young man was slowing down the marching speed, so they stepped forward and whipped him a few more times.

For the former immortal master, Bin Group had no respect at all. Only 5,000 of the 10,000 elite soldiers in Tongcheng were left, and there were more corpses of comrades on the ground than the enemy.

This was still an advantage. If the Refining God Realm fought on the battlefield, it was possible that everyone would be killed or injured.

The young man did not dare to say a word, and tried to stand up and board the ship step by step.

When he reached the last step, he saw a yellow-faced man, accompanied by the governor of the state, and the officials of Tongcheng stood respectfully behind him.

Zhou Yi sensed the young man's gaze, his eyes sparkled, and he used the Spirit Wood Technique to look at the air.

His breath was pure and natural, and there was a faint layer of merit and spiritual light.

Liu Yi and others kept an eye on Zhou Yi, followed his gaze, and shook their heads slightly.

Zhou Yi asked: "Will they be sentenced by the Ministry of Justice?"

"To reply to Senior Qin, kidnapping humans and selling them to the Demon Kingdom is worse than the crime of treason, and it is the first case in the country."

Liu Yi replied: "Your Majesty is furious, there is no need for the Ministry of Justice to try, all of them will be thrown into the Demon Slaying Prison, and the nine clans will be executed."

Many cultivators in the Golden Dragon Society did not participate in the kidnapping of humans, and they didn't even know about it. There are hundreds of disciples in the whole sect, and each of them is a famous family in the family.

There are at least hundreds of people in the nine clans, and at most thousands of people. All of them will be arrested and brought to justice, and it is expected that nearly 100,000 people will be beheaded.

The revenge of exterminating the family must be eradicated.

"Lord Liu, please work harder and die as little as possible."

Zhou Yi did not say that the sentence was too heavy. For such a matter, only severe punishment can deter those who come later.

"Senior Qin, please be merciful. I will personally watch it."

Liu Yi understood what Zhou Yi meant. Whenever there was a major case of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan, it was the time for many officials to make a fortune.

After this case, Liu Yi has touched the threshold of his life. With the resources of the Golden Dragon Society and the Dragon Palace, he will be able to obtain the second rank in time.

"I will send the younger generation into reincarnation. When Lord Liu arrives in Luojing in the future, you can go to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to find me."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he turned into a light and flew away.

Liu Yi and the officials of Tongcheng waited until Zhou Yi disappeared in the sky before getting up.

Zhang Zhenren came out of the cabin and said, "Old Liu, you have gone too far this time? At least you should have informed them in advance!"

Jiang Dutong appeared together, waiting for Liu Yi's explanation.

"What? He said that the demon killed a first-class demon king. Do you believe it?" Liu Yi said calmly, "Since I am the governor of Wuzhou, I cannot fail the grace of the emperor and cannot wrong the people. If I find out that the demon dragon is doing evil, I will kill it with all my strength!" "Huh?" Zhang Zhenren and Jiang Dutong looked at each other. Why did this guy's temperament suddenly change? Since Liu Yi had no background, after being promoted to governor, he could only be in charge of the area around Tongcheng. Other county officials were secretly disobeying him. "Of course, Zhang Gongfeng and Jiang Dutong made great efforts to eliminate the demon dragon. I will report it to your majesty." Liu Yi lowered his voice and said, "You two can take 10% more of the spiritual objects left by the demon dragon. This is also what Senior Qin meant." The treasures of the Golden Dragon Society and the Dragon Palace should be filled into the national treasury after being counted. However, the local officials are responsible for the counting. If a part is withheld, the higher-ups will not say anything. "All should be done as Lord Liu said!" Zhang and Jiang understood that Wuzhou would be under the jurisdiction of Liu Yi from then on. …

Qingyun Daoist Palace.

The sound of chanting sutras was heard in the lecture hall, and it was the time for the disciples to attend the morning class.

A stream of light passed through the formation and fell into the hands of Xuanyu Zhenren who closed his eyes to listen to the sutras. It was a jade slip for communication.

Xuanyu's consciousness swept over the jade slip, frowned slightly, and his figure disappeared.

The disciples who were chanting sutras below stopped for a moment, and then continued to chant the sutras, but their minds had changed.

The head master liked to listen to the sutras and was good at teaching his disciples. He would listen to the end of the morning class every day unless there was something important.

Xuanyu summoned the Zhenren in the sect to discuss matters together in the ancestral hall.

Qingyun Daoist Palace is one of the leaders of the Daoist sect. With two Yang Gods and dozens of Zhenren of Refining Spirits, its strength is much stronger than that of Yunxiao Daoist Palace.

Of course, it is far from comparable now, because Sanwu lost his immortal luck.

When everyone was present, Xuanyu got straight to the point.

"Just now, Uncle Xuanqing sent a message that the demon dragon in Hongjiang was killed!"

Xuan Qing is the former headmaster of Qingyun Taoist Temple and one of the three leaders of the Demon Slayer Division. After Jiang Wu, the commander-in-chief of Wuzhou Demon Slayer, reported the news, Xuan Qing immediately passed the news back to the sect.

There are many monks from various sects working in the Immortal Salary Division and the Demon Slayer Division. It won’t be long before the news of the death of Ao Xu, the water god of Hongjiang River, will spread throughout Dagan.

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

"What? Who can kill that demon dragon?"

"If the True Immortal doesn't come out, it will be possible only if several first-grade people surround and kill it!"

"Did the Three Enlightenment Master take action?"

"It's difficult! The Three Enlightenment Master is indeed very powerful, but that time the True Immortal Patriarch was present, so it is likely that he took action in secret!"

There were many discussions, and no one could guess who in Dagan had such strength.

Xuan Yu waved his hand to signal for silence, and said: "No need to guess, it's the Qi Refiner of Wagang Mountain, Qin Qiong!"

"Qin Qiong, it turned out to be him..."

Everyone recalled for a while and remembered who it was.

Qi-refining masters are extremely rare in Dagan, and most of them refine their body first and then Qi, step by step.

Among the first-grade Qi-refining masters, only Qin Qiong is known at present. He made his first appearance in Kyoto before, which caused quite a stir.

Qingyun Dao Palace also has a branch near Luojing, and the stationed Refining Master even hosted Qin Qiong. However, since then, Qin Qiong has been hiding his true self, and no one has ever seen him take action.

The only glimpse of him was that he was better than the old beggar of the Beggar Gang in the escape method.

Xuanling Master, who is in charge of foreign affairs, suddenly said: "Brother, if I remember correctly, Qin Qiong...Mr. is hanging out with King Yan, right?"

"How could it be King Yan?"

Others looked at each other.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, or second- and third-grade Refining Masters, King Yan Li Le is still the most expensive.

A first-grade Qi-refining master does not need to hang out with King Yan at all. King Yan cannot give him what he needs, and he has everything King Yan can have.

Besides, the fact that the King of Yan possessed the aura of a black dragon was no secret to the top leaders of Dagan.

The black dragon was a murderer, which was an ominous sign in the eyes of the cultivators!

Xuanyu frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, can you find out how the King of Yan won over Mr. Qin?"

There were only a few first-class masters in Dagan, and there were even fewer if you excluded those in the Dao League. Qingyun Dao Palace had disciples who were specifically responsible for rumors and collecting the dynamics of first-class masters, so as not to vent their anger on them because of something.

"Brother, wait a moment."

Xuanling took out a jade plate and summoned the disciples to check the sect files.

All large sects had special disciples who were responsible for rumors, and everything useful would be recorded.

After a while.

Xuanling said, "Brother, it was because of the rebellion of the White Lotus in Bodhi County that the King of Yan agreed to send troops..."

"So that's it."

Xuanyu couldn't help but praise, "The character of this Mr. Qin makes us ashamed!"

The other real people in the hall nodded in admiration. Qingyun Dao Palace had long known that the demon dragon was a disaster, but was afraid of Luoshui Dragon Palace and dared not do anything.

Suddenly.

A real person said: "In this case, is the position of the God of the Red River vacant?"

The hall was suddenly quiet, and everyone looked at the headmaster Xuanyu.

The position of the God of the Red River is not just the God of the River. There are eight generals under his command, such as the God of Clouds and Rain, the God of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil, and at least dozens of third-rate gods such as the Patrolling Yaksha.

Moreover, it is not too easy to gain merits by holding the position of the God of the Water.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run. There must be many people competing for the first-class god position..."

Xuanyu said slowly: "However, the Taoist Palace has been operating in Wuzhou for three thousand years. Unless the True Immortal intervenes, no one can come!"

The real people were happy. The headmaster said so, and the position of the God of the River was nine out of ten settled.

So they all thought about how to hold an official position in the Red River.

Even if they don't need it, there will always be disciples and descendants who need it.

...

Luoshui Dragon Palace.

Dragon Lord Ao Jing received the news faster than Qingyun Taoist Palace.

There are officials in the Dagan court who are close to the dragon clan. They rely on mutual assistance with the Dragon Palace and are in a high position.

Not long ago, Sanwu made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace, which reduced the power of the dragon clan a lot, but did not affect this relationship.

As long as the real dragon is alive, there will be no shortage of officials in the court who need "help".

After receiving the news, Ao Jing did not report to his father immediately. He dismissed his attendants and discussed with General Turtle first.

When General Turtle heard the news, he was shocked at first, and then his eyes turned around.

"This is a great thing! Among the many heirs of the king, only the Dragon King and the Ninth Prince are ranked first. Now that the Ninth Prince has unfortunately passed away, who can inherit the heavy responsibility of the Dragon Palace?"

The divine turtle is long-lived. General Turtle has lived in the Dragon Palace for more than 2,000 years. He is one of the few old monsters who know the life span of the old dragon king.

The dragon clan has a long life span, and it is not endless. The old dragon has ruled Luoshui for nearly 5,000 years. Before the Dagan Taizu unified the world, he had been powerful in Yunzhou for more than 3,000 years.

According to the life span of a real dragon, it will be over in three to five hundred years at most.

It seems long, but in fact, for the dragon clan, it is just a few naps.

General Turtle congratulated: "Your Majesty will definitely do his best for the inheritance of the Dragon Palace. You only need to wait, and the real dragon is in sight!"

"So that's it!"

Ao Jing was delighted. He knew more than General Turtle. His father was already planning the treasures in the Demon Slayer Division.

"In that case, should we not disturb your father about the death of Old Nine?"

"Your Majesty must not do that. You must report it to the king!"

General Turtle said: "Not only must you report it, but you must also act heartbroken and avenge His Majesty at all costs!"

Ao Jing frowned. Most of the descendants of the old dragon were half-siblings and had basically no feelings for each other.

Especially the ninth Ao Xu, who relied on his extraordinary talent and was the favorite golden scale of the old dragon, and had often opposed Ao Jing in the past.

Seeing this, General Turtle hurriedly explained: "The king has thousands of descendants, and there are more than a hundred of them that he likes. While planning for the Dragon Palace, he must also be worried about the safety of his own bloodline descendants..."

Ao Jing immediately understood after hearing this.

"General Turtle is really wise!"
