Holy Bone

Chapter 1574: Intrigue and Undercurrent

In this battle, the Tianshi Mansion did not suffer heavy losses, as the casualties were all alliance allies, but it was still a big blow to morale.

The messenger of God Surya was injured by the evil god.

Two powerful Rakshasa warriors of the fourth realm, one died and the other was seriously injured. The Iron Wolf Masked Rakshasa who escaped with the serious injury has not returned yet, and his life or death is unknown.

The team lost two and a half fourth-level warriors at once, which made them feel confused about the future.

Even the ancient ship that they were most proud of, relied on the most, and built with their own hands was destroyed by the evil god. Traveling in the desert was already difficult, and everyone felt as if their legs were filled with lead, which further undermined their morale.

But there is one thing that has the greatest impact on the Dao heart of the fourth realm and the third realm, and that is the fall of the fourth realm!

First, there was the accidental death of old King Ling, then there was the death of the headless monk, and now we heard that a powerful man of the fourth realm has fallen. It has only been a few days, and the fourth realm has fallen too quickly. Is this still the fourth realm that everyone yearns for before the shackles of the mortal world are broken?

While the people of the world are still struggling to pursue the fourth realm and going through untold hardships, those of the fourth realm around them have already fallen like rain.

It’s like the god you’ve always believed in suddenly collapses.

How can it not make people feel uneasy?

The team that had escaped death from the evil god was now covered in dust and yellow sand, and was running in a somewhat embarrassed manner across the desert.

This team has about ten people, almost all of them are high-level officials of Tianshi Mansion, and all of them are in the third realm. This is a collective action of the high-level officials to enter the blessed land.

However, the ancestor of the Jiang family and the old man Lihuo were not in the team. The whereabouts of the two most unfathomable people in the Tianshi Mansion became a mystery.

"Marquis Pojun." Two Indians suddenly came to Marquis Pojun.

Po Jun Hou looked at the end of the road ahead and continued on his way indifferently without looking back at the two people: "What's the matter?"

"Our metamorphosis map and the essence of earth milk are lost!" The old man, the messenger of the god Surya, had a terribly gloomy expression, and his eyes were cold, colder and more vicious than a crow in the mountains.

Po Junhou paused, and this time he finally turned around to look at the two of them, his tone a little cold: "When did you realize it was missing!"

The envoy of the god Surya and the incarnation of King Hali gnashed their teeth and said, "It must have been stolen by the martial arts immortal!"

The incarnation of King Hali continued to speak gloomily, "In the sandstorm earlier, several magic weapons in my hand were lost one after another, and I lost spiritual connection with them. The trick here must be related to the martial arts immortal!"

Surya's face was very ugly. "Yes, it was done by the martial arts immortal! Because I also noticed something strange at that time, but we were in the crisis of the evil god at that time and had no time to take care of it. Now I finally have time to check back and found that the incarnation of King Hali lost several magic tools, and I suffered even greater losses. The Feathering Diagram and the Essence of Earth Milk found in the ruins of the Temple are all lost!"

"The Martial Arts Immortal appeared, and the incarnation of King Hali and this divine messenger both lost items. With so many coincidences, it must be someone else's if not the Martial Arts Immortal who stole them!"

As he spoke, the temperature around the god Surya suddenly dropped, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He wished he could find Jin An immediately, tear him into pieces, and take back the treasure.

Instead of comforting the two, Marquis Pojun rebuked them with disgust for not doing their job well: "You had the things in your hands, and Marquis Shenwu took them away from you. How did you manage to let others snatch them away? How did you manage to realize what was lost only now?"

Po Jun Hou spoke in an impatient tone, not hiding his disgust, and he was almost about to blurt out the word "idiot".

Surya the Divine Envoy snorted and made excuses for himself: "This blessed land severely suppresses people's spiritual perception and six senses. The yellow sand greatly interferes with vision. It is normal for this Divine Envoy to be careless for a while."

"In that scene, everyone present, including you, Pojun Hou, didn't even see clearly how the martial arts immortal made his move, so you don't have to look so weird, Pojun Hou. We are all on the same side."

"In that environment, it's unknown whether the Rakshasa will live or die. Let's assume that both of us are dead. We were able to escape from the evil god's hands safely, which means we are more than a hundred times stronger than the Rakshasa. This divine envoy was injured by a sneak attack from the evil god, not by the martial arts immortal."

Upon hearing that the messenger of God Surya was not ashamed of this, but was proud of being injured and losing treasures, and even compared himself with the Rakshasa, the disgust in Pojun Hou's eyes deepened.

The Indians are in the middle stage of the fourth realm, and the Rakshasa are in the early stage of the fourth realm. Instead of comparing themselves with the strong and making progress bravely, they lower themselves by comparing themselves with those in a lower realm. What else can they be but idiots?

If the Rakshasas were in the middle stage of the fourth realm and the Indians were in the early stage of the fourth realm, and their realms were switched, it would be worthy of praise if the messenger Surya said the above words.

Po Jun Hou, who was already in a gloomy mood because of the death of the Rakshasa people and the loss of the ancient ship, said impatiently: "What are your plans now? Are you unwilling to give up? Are you going to kill the evil god and Shen Wu Hou to vent your anger and take back the lost things from Shen Wu Hou?"

Pojun Hou sneered after saying this. Even he felt that such words were just a fantasy.

Little did they know that this was actually the plan of the messenger Surya.

"The desert is so vast, looking for a martial arts immortal is like looking for a needle in a haystack, as you Han people would say."

"The martial arts immortal just stole our things, so he definitely won't dare to show up. He will just hide far away to refine the Feathering Diagram and the essence of the earth milk. Only a fool would come back at this time and fall into the trap."

"We discussed it just now. Isn't your Tianshi Mansion the best at Qimen Dunjia and Tianji divination? Marquis Pojun, you can tell the martial arts immortal's exact location and then we can join forces to kill him by surprise."

"Don't you, Marquis Pojun, have a grudge against the martial arts immortal? Let's take this opportunity to eliminate our common enemy together."

The messenger Surya told his plan.

Po Jun Hou refused outright: "I can't do that."

The divine envoy Surya sneered: "Whether it is looking for a living person or a dead person, isn't that the unique skill of your Tianshi Mansion? Marquis Pojun, you really can't do it, or you don't want to do it."

Marquis Pojun glanced at the two Indians, and a cold light flashed in his pupils. He was ready to kill them!

As the middle stage of the fourth realm, the divine envoy Surya and the incarnation of King Hali were at the same level as Pojun Hou, and their spiritual awareness was sharp, so how could they not notice this little change in Pojun Hou. However, the two were not afraid of offending Pojun Hou at all, because they still had a biggest trump card that they had not played.

Po Jun Hou took a deep look at the Surya messenger and the incarnation of King Hali, put away the murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly: "The golden compass is lost, it is with old King Ling."

What this means is that you have to borrow the golden compass first and go to the underworld to find old King Ling.

"If there is no golden compass, there is still a silver compass, an iron compass, and a jade compass." The messenger of God Surya was unwilling to give up. He wanted so badly to recover the lost fragments of the Feather Map and the essence of the earth's milk.

That picture of ascension contained the secret of ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal. Even if he could not use it, he could return to India and offer it as a sacrifice to Surya, the sun god he believed in, and thus obtain great blessings from the god.

Even he couldn't understand why the gods were so interested in the Han people's gods, immortal world, and heaven. Historical records showed several myths and legends of gods crossing the Great Snow Mountain and fighting eastward.

When he attacked the Wuwang Palace of the ancient country, he sacrificed 100,000 slaves' souls in exchange for a drop of immortal blood that was diluted to the point that it could not be diluted any further. Even the gods were reluctant to let the immortal blood flow into the underworld.

More importantly, after King Hali returned in his incarnation, he presented the fragments of the map of ascension to the gods, but he returned empty-handed. How could he explain this to the gods?

Since the gods could support him as a divine messenger on earth, they could also replace him at any time with a new divine messenger. This was what he was most worried about.

Either no one gets the good stuff, or everyone makes sacrifices together, because even gods compete with each other.

Po Jun Hou did not explain, but simply walked past the two of them and headed far along the flow of the Liusha River towards the depths of the paradise.

The divine envoy Surya continued to ask questions unwillingly. Elder Luo Tian, ​​who had been following Marquis Pojun, explained, "Our Tianshi Mansion has divined for Marquis Shenwu more than once, and each time the fortune was confusing. The most likely possibility is that Marquis Shenwu has a magical item that can conceal his aura, so he can hide from the world and avoid the divination."

"If the golden compass can't tell fortunes, any other compass will be of no use."

"So it's not that the old marquis didn't help. Not only did you lose your magic weapon, but the golden compass of our Tianshi Mansion was also lost, and its whereabouts are still unknown."

"The golden compass is on old King Ling. Old King Ling died on the way to kill the martial arts immortal. The golden compass is most likely on the martial arts immortal! Marquis Pojun, if you want to find the lost artifact of your Tianshi Mansion, you should go find the martial arts immortal and snatch back the golden compass of your Tianshi Mansion!" In order to retrieve the fragments of the Feathering Map and the essence of the earth milk, the envoy Surya kept provoking conflicts between the Tianshi Mansion and the Wuzang Taoist Temple. They could fish in troubled waters when the two factions were fighting.

The fact is, the golden compass is indeed in Jinan's possession.

Surya Divine Envoy: "You can't just sit and wait for the Martial Dao Immortal to fall into your trap. Unless the Martial Dao Immortal is stupid, he will come back at this time and deliver himself to your door..."

  Moo!

The roar of a cow, with a long and loud sound, interrupted the words of the messenger Surya.

In the endless scorched desert, smoke and dust rolled up into the sky, like an earth dragon rolling in the sky, quickly enlarging in everyone's vision.

"It seems like it's approaching us?"

There was a small riot in the team.

The scene of the evil god's tyranny not long ago is still vivid in their minds. The team's morale has already fallen to the bottom, so at the slightest sign of trouble, everyone is like a frightened bird.

Only a few people were better and their minds were not disturbed.

"This voice... why does it sound like the cow transformed by the Master of Creating Animals?" Amidst the waves of speculation, the identity of the visitor was finally revealed.

Isn’t it the big blue ox that is chasing after us with its hooves sticking out?

and!

The figure in the five-colored Taoist robe on the cow's back is the most eye-catching!

It feels more dazzling than the two suns above my head!

The muscles at the corners of my eyes were twitching!

Who could have thought that Jin An would really come back? Before they even found Jin An, Jin An found them first!

At this moment, they even began to doubt themselves. Could it be that Jin An really didn't kill the person? Or that Jin An didn't steal the magic weapon? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Jin An chose to return at this time.

"I'm so glad that everyone is okay. I got separated from you in the yellow sand just now, and I have been concerned about your safety." As the big blue ox stopped a few steps away from the Tianshi Mansion, Jin An, who was covered in yellow sand and dusty, clasped his fists and bowed.

The group of people on the sand were a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond at this time.

Subconsciously, they looked at Marquis Pojun, the messenger of God Surya, and the incarnation of King Hali.

They heard it clearly. Just now, the messenger of God Surya called Jin An a fool and would not return unless Jin An acted foolishly.

Jin An was completely unaware of the quietness in the air. After looking around, he pretended to be surprised and said, "The team seems to have fewer people. Why are the two Rakshasa people nowhere to be seen?"

The muscles at the corners of the eyes of the god Surya twitched wildly. It is said that the older people get, the more suspicious they become. If Jin An never comes back, he will be sure that Jin An is the real murderer who killed people for treasure and killed the Rakshasa people.

But when Jin An unexpectedly returned to join them, he was unsure of Jin An's true intentions. He went from being certain that Jin An was the murderer to half-believing and half-doubting himself...

The more cunning a person is, the more distracting thoughts and ideas he has.

The divine envoy Surya sneered and tested Jin An: "Martial Dao Immortal, you are asking even though you already know the answer. You know best whether the Rakshasa people are alive or dead."

Jin An's brows sank: "Did the Rakshasa really die at the hands of the evil demon?"

"It was indeed dangerous just now. Even the divine messenger Surya was seriously injured and nearly died. I was also almost injured by the continuous attacks."

While Jin An was explaining, he did not forget to step on and lift up, which made the old man, the messenger of the god Surya, so angry that he was fuming and smoke was coming out of his head.

This is called retribution.

Before, he was stepping on and lifting others, but immediately Jin An started to step on and lift him.

Retribution came so quickly.

"Martial Immortal, don't think that you are pretending to be confused. You didn't kill those people. Everyone knows that the Rakshasas all died in your hands!" The messenger of God Surya looked gloomy.

"Who knows it and who knows it clearly? Did anyone see with their own eyes that it was me who killed the Rakshasa?" Jin An looked around at everyone and spoke slowly and calmly.

"God Surya, have you forgotten my identity? I am the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department and the supervisor of the three departments. You want to frame me, but you have found the wrong person today. I can sentence you to death for spreading rumors and murdering the imperial envoy."

Beneath the calm tone, there was hidden murderous intent, and every word and sentence contained a warning.

As an imperial envoy, he has the privilege of executing first and reporting later.

Anyone who is not afraid of losing his head can continue to speak to his face.

As expected, as soon as Jin An said this, everyone, including the Indians, fell silent.

If the Indians wanted to continue their activities in Kangding State, they had to pretend to be submissive to the secular court of Kangding State, even if it was just a pretense, otherwise they would be enemies of the world.

At that time, Tianshi Mansion will be the first to distance itself from them.

"Marquis Shenwu, now that you have left and are back, aren't you worried that I will chase you away? The world is so big, but there is no place for you here?" Marquis Pojun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke expressionlessly.
