Chapter 144 The Fourteenth Avatar (1/2)

Ten days later, in a newly organized courtyard in the Taoist Mansion, Li Yan and the four of them sat together with the envoys who came from behind, discussing their future plans.

"You think, do we really have to stay here and wait until the royal city sends someone to rescue us?"

A strong man with a beard and a shaved head held a bottle of wine in his hand. He was talking and drinking, as if he wanted to use the effect of the wine to eliminate some of the resentment in his heart.

It can be seen that at his feet, the wine jars have begun to pile up.

"If you don't wait here, are you going to go out and die?"

"It's not like you don't know that just yesterday, our people were assassinated on the street."

"Although the Taoist Master's Mansion finally caught the person and even handed him over to us, what can we do?"

"Can those people's lives be compared to those of us?"

"None of us are from the royal city, and none of us are pillars of the imperial court, otherwise we would not be sent as envoys."

Opposite the strong man was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose. As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, he hated those people in [Red Blooded Zhou Army] very much.

"It's a pity that the Dao Lord's Mansion can only do this. It would be great if the Dao Lord could arrange an army to escort us back to the royal city."

The person who said this, sitting on the stool, was obviously an innate master like the other people sitting on the stool.

However, compared to other innate masters, his face looks very young.

"Haha, Lin Sheng, you are still young, and you still have such unrealistic fantasies."

Kong Tianyang, who was sitting next to Jiang Linsheng, laughed and then patted Jiang Linsheng on the shoulder.

"How can this be an unrealistic fantasy? Since the Taoist Lord's Mansion is on our side, as long as we can come up with benefits that make Taoist Master Jiang Bokao's heart beat, we can naturally allow him to arrange an army to escort us back to the royal city safely."

Jiang Linsheng pushed away Kong Tianyang's palm and replied somewhat unconvinced.

But what he didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, more people laughed.

"Hahaha, you made me laugh so hard, boy, I admit that your talent is indeed good, even better than mine here, but your experience is still too little."

"Otherwise, why would he be sent as an emissary by the old guys in their family? They don't want him to gain some experience in a safe environment."

"It's a pity, man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation."

Jiang Linsheng, who was laughed at by everyone, suddenly turned red and wanted to get up and leave.

In the end, Kong Tianyang pinned him down on his seat.

As a family friend of the Kong and Jiang families, Kong Tianyang had the confidence to treat an innate master of the same level as himself like this.

Otherwise, if anyone else dared to do this, with Jiang Linsheng's temper, they might start a fight.

"Lin Sheng, don't leave yet. You can listen to why other people laugh when they hear what you say."

Kong Tianyang said to Jiang Linsheng.

Then, he turned to the others and said, "Tell him why you found it funny when he said this."

"Let me tell you first."

Everyone has a desire to be a teacher. The first person to stand up was a man with a fair face and a beardless face, who looked like a scholar.

"Jiang Linsheng, what you said before, from an ideal point of view, there is no problem, but we live in reality."

"First of all, the Taoist Mansion is not on our side. This needs to be made clear."

"The Taoist Mansion only listens to one person, Shannan Daoist Duke Jiang Bokao. As a prince, Jiang Bokao only listens to orders but not announcements. He will only selectively execute the orders he issues to the royal city."

"Do you think that the Royal City has not taken any action? In fact, the Royal City has already issued an order to Shannan Dao Gong, asking them to escort us back to the Royal City."

"But you also saw that Jiang Bokao was completely indifferent."

"If he really would listen to Wang Cheng's orders, we wouldn't stay here now."

"Do you know the reason why he gave us to the Royal City? He was actually afraid that by escorting us back to the Royal City, the strength of Shannan Road would be empty and thieves would take advantage of it."

"This is bullshit."

This person's words made Jiang Linsheng frown. No one likes to be lectured, but he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only remain silent.

"Secondly, at Jiang Bokao's level, not to mention us, even the special envoy can't come up with a few treasures that are attractive to him."

"So, the method you mentioned cannot be realized in actual operation."

After that, everyone changed the topic and stopped discussing the matter.

After all, the Jiang family is still a second-rate family in the royal city, with strong strength. As a genius of the Jiang family, Jiang Linsheng still needs to be given face.

Li Yan stood behind Kong Tianyang, watching everyone discuss and discuss, but in the end no solution was discussed.

"Should I give up this identity and change my identity to Shannan Daocheng?"

Li Yan was thinking in his heart.

Obviously, he has been trapped in the Taoist Mansion. As long as he leaves the Taoist Mansion, he will be in danger.

As envoys from various parts of Shannan Road gradually returned to Nanshan City, when they arrived at Nanshan City, they also brought people who followed them and chased them.

Now, all the living envoys have gathered in the Taoist Mansion.

Among the surviving envoys, there are twelve innate warriors and eighteen acquired warriors.

Including the special envoys, the original team of several hundred special envoys now has only thirty-one people.

It is less than one-tenth of the previous number.

Such a reduction in personnel naturally makes the remaining people panic.

People want to return to the royal city as soon as possible.

But the special envoy Yun Mi never issued an order to return to the royal city.

So, some people began to sneak away, preparing to go back alone, so that the target is small and the safety is guaranteed.

Then, before these people left the city, they were found by the people of [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] and killed on the street.

Obviously, [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] either has a special method to accurately locate these people, or they have their spies in the Taoist Mansion, always keeping an eye on Li Yan and others' every move.

After a few people died in this way, no one dared to leave the Taoist Mansion.

Even the food and water provided by the Taoist Mansion will be checked by someone.

Not to mention, there are also people who agree to keep watch at night.

Li Yan felt that these people were obviously paranoid.

If the [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] dared to poison and assassinate them in the Taoist Mansion, Li Yan would laugh out loud.

Because doing so would completely slap Jiang Bokao in the face, and if the other party could poison and assassinate these envoys in the Taoist Mansion today, could they assassinate him, Jiang Bokao, in the Ji family tomorrow.

So, whether for the sake of face or for his own safety, Jiang Bokao would probably take action to wipe out the people of the [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army].

Even the Taoist Mansion would have to be cleaned up.

With Jiang Bokao's control over Shannan City, the people of the [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] were probably already under his surveillance. After all, there were many innates among the [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army], and even warriors in the Condensed Evil Realm.

Such a powerful force ran into his territory. If he couldn't grasp its whereabouts, how could Jiang Bokao sleep well?

And the reason why Jiang Bokao kept the [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army] was just because he didn't like these envoys headed by Yun Mi.

No one likes people who collect taxes. They are all the silver they have worked hard to save. Why should they share it with you?

However, with Jiang Bokao's strength, he does not have the strength to really challenge the Ji family, so he can only use the method of borrowing a knife to kill people to deal with these annoying messengers.

Therefore, wanting Jiang Bokao to escort everyone back to the royal city is like a mouse expecting a cat to be its mount, wishful thinking.

"By the way, poison."

Li Yan's eyes lit up.

"I can't count on those [Red Blood Cover Zhou Army] people to poison, can't I do it myself?"

Li Yan pondered his plan and couldn't help but get excited.

Poisoning is his old skill, he is too familiar with it.

"I have to prepare. I don't have a suitable poison. Counting the days, there are still three days before the fourteenth clone will appear."

"When the time comes, just split directly from this clone, so as not to let the original body send another clone."

Li Yan said in his heart.

The splitting of the clone requires the participation of the clone's life core. As long as Li Yan designates a clone, he can use the clone's life core to split another clone.

"If this is the case, and Shannan Daogong can't take action, then I can change my identity."

After making up his mind, Li Yan quickly started to act.

First, find out the situation of entering and leaving the Daozhu Mansion.

The Daozhu Mansion is very large, and it is not much less than the Jin Mansion in Linjiang City.

Such a large place is naturally not used for decoration, but has many uses.

The entire Daozhu Mansion is divided into three areas. One is where Shannan Daogong works daily and handles the daily affairs of Shannan Dao.

This area is naturally the core area of ​​the Daozhu Mansion. Many senior officials affiliated with the Daozhu Mansion work here.

Many policies here determine the future development direction of Shannan Dao.

One area is a place for the Shannan Army to exercise and rest.

The Shannan Army, with a total of 1,000 people, is the most elite army in the entire Shannan Dao.

The team members need to have at least the blood exchange realm cultivation, the captain is the innate cultivation, and the first, second and third commanders are all warriors in the Condensed Evil Realm.

This is an army that can gather the military spirit.

The last area is used to solve cases, detain prisoners and store various materials.

The scale of the entire Nanshan City is several times that of Linjiang City, and the population has exceeded 10 million.

With such a large population, there are naturally many frictions every day.

Of course, fights and quarrels between ordinary people are not qualified to come here.

Unless they kill people in the street, they will be taken back by the patrolling police and directly imprisoned, waiting to be beheaded.

Only those forces with innate warriors have conflicts and report to the Taoist Mansion, will the Taoist Mansion staff cheer up to solve the case.

The courtyard where Li Yan and his people live now is in the last area.

The scope of their activities is limited to this area, and the other two areas are not open to them.

Of course, if you want to go out, no one will stop you, but after the previous assassinations, no one dares to go out.

Li Yan had visited this area several times before, but he just took a quick look and didn't observe it carefully.

After careful observation, Li Yan found that the management of entry and exit of this main mansion was still very strict.

You need a specific warrant to go out, and you need to be checked several times to come in, and then be led by the staff of the Taoist Mansion. You are not allowed to wander around the Taoist Mansion privately.

Those who violate the order will be killed by the guards everywhere.

However, the messengers like Li Yan don’t need any warrants to go out, they can just go out directly.

I don’t know if Jiang Bokao deliberately instructed it.

Li Yan, who has been observing for a long time, finally didn’t find any flaws.

“It seems that I still have to do my old business.”

“By the way, collect the money for buying poison. If you don’t have money, you can’t buy good things when you see them.”

Li Yan began to focus his attention on those who often go in and out of the Taoist Mansion.

After three days of observation, a person who meets Li Yan’s wishes appeared.

At this time, his fourteenth clone is finally about to appear.

At noon, in Li Yan’s room.

In the room of more than 20 square meters, Li Yan lay on the big bed with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

In fact, he was starting to split a new clone.

"I didn't expect that the feeling of splitting a clone would be so wonderful."

In the past, new clones were all split from the clones in the clone space of the original body.

Li Yan did not invest his soul in the clone in the clone space, so naturally he had never experienced the feeling of splitting a clone.

At this time, it was the first time for him to experience such a feeling.

On the big bed, Li Yan's body began to liquefy, and the original human shape turned into a pool of black mud.

In the black mud, a life core the size of a mung bean flashed with nine-color spiritual light.

Then the life core began to expand, and after expanding to twice its previous size, it began to split from the middle.

The whole speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, one life core became two.

After the life core split, the black mud moved and wrapped the two life cores.

In less than a breath of time, two identical Li Yan appeared, and their faces were the faces of Li Yan's original body.

This is equivalent to restoring the factory settings.

In addition, because the mysterious black mud has the ability to repair and self-regenerate, the two clones are the normal size of Li Yan's original body.

Afterwards, one of the clones turned into Su Han's appearance and figure, and the other turned into one of the maids who often came and went here to serve everyone.

When no one was paying attention, Li Yan, disguised as a maid, left here and walked towards a remote place chosen by Li Yan.

On the way, he met some people who were familiar with the maid, and Li Yan pretended not to see them and walked away quickly.

"What's going on? Why don't you pay attention to me?"

These people couldn't figure out the reason, so when they met the maid again, their attitude became cold.

"Hey, did I do something wrong?"

Soon, it was night.
