Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 685 Something is wrong with Beidou Zhenjun

Gu Xu's mind moved, and he silently exerted the power of "Qiankun".

An invisible space channel quietly emerged.

The small amount of goods in each box were transferred silently to his "Yao Chi Residence".

"Just think of it as taking back some things that originally belonged to Jiang Zhaoyue." He thought silently to himself.

…………

After a while.

Tian Xiang, the leader of the Mo Sect, sat on a high seat above the hall, and with a sharp gaze he scanned the cultivators below. He asked sternly, "You said that the supplies sent by Tai Shang Hao Tian this time were nearly half less than what was originally agreed upon?"

"That's right," a Momen monk lowered his head and responded tremblingly, "We just counted it again. For example, the blood coral should have been about three tons, but we actually received less than two tons; and the lightning beads should have been three thousand, but we only saw more than one thousand six hundred..."

"During the process of transporting goods, have you always kept a close eye on the materials? Is it possible for thieves to take advantage of the opportunity and steal things quietly when you are negligent?" Tian Xiang asked.

"There is absolutely no such possibility," the Momen monk answered firmly, "Since the 'Tiangong' monks delivered the goods to us, they have been under our strict surveillance and transferred directly through the space transmission array. There is no chance for them to come into contact with outsiders during this period.

“In addition, each box has a one-time formation seal, and no signs of being cracked or damaged have been found.

"If the thief wants to steal the contents of the box right under our noses, he must have concealment skills that are no less than the Night Emperor of the Dragon Clan, formation skills that are no less than the Divine General Chi Shaoxian, and a perfect grasp of the laws of space..."

Hearing this, Tian Xiang shook his head slightly, with a look of disapproval between his brows.

Even Tai Shang Haotian himself does not possess such ability.

If there really was such a powerful thief in the Lingxiao Realm, he would have already become famous for his extraordinary skills and ruled a region, so why would he have to do such a sneaky thing?

"It seems that Tai Shang Hao Tian has broken his promise and secretly instructed someone to tamper with the goods..." Tian Xiang frowned and analyzed with a gloomy face.

When coming to this conclusion, Tian Xiang was actually quite reluctant to believe it in his heart, because Tai Shang Haotian has always had a reputation for keeping his promises over the past few thousand years.

It is also because of this that when Tai Shang Haotian's personal strength does not yet have an overwhelming advantage, the various forces in the Lingxiao League are willing to accept him as the leader.

"Could it be that Tai Shang Hao Tian felt that he was about to be promoted to the ninth realm and become the undisputed ruler of the Ling Xiao Realm, and there was no need to be hypocritical and polite to people like us, so his true nature was finally revealed?" Tian Xiang pondered for a while, and a bold speculation emerged in his mind.

  "This is really too much!" Thinking of this, Tian Xiang slammed his palm on the table fiercely. The "bang" sound broke the silence, and everyone in the room shuddered uncontrollably. "Taishang Haotian can have the glory today and absorb the incense from all directions of Lingxiao Realm, all thanks to our strong support, but I never thought that he would openly use such despicable means!

"Perhaps, after the Dragon Clan, his next target will be our Mo Sect!"

…………

After Tao Zhonghua was captured at the Taiping Sect's stronghold in the void, he had been kept under house arrest by the sect's leader, "Beidou Zhenjun," near his residence.

That day, Tao Zhonghua's eyes suddenly turned indigo blue, and he said, "The Emperor asked me to say hello to you," which shocked "True Lord Beidou" and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He tried to get information from Tao Zhonghua and asked many questions, trying to find out the relationship between him and Ziwei Emperor.

However, after that sentence, Tao Zhonghua's pupils returned to their original black color, and he seemed to have forgotten what he had said. He behaved like an ordinary prisoner.

Whenever "Beidou Zhenjun" asked him a question, he would respond in a threatening tone: "How dare you detain a Mo Sect monk like this? Can you afford the wrath of the Mo Sect master?" or "Sooner or later, our master will catch all of you rebels in one fell swoop."

"True Lord Beidou" has seen the ups and downs of the Lingxiao Realm and will no longer be easily angered by his words.

He looked Tao Zhonghua up and down carefully, as if he were examining an object.

He secretly wondered in his heart whether the Emperor was also observing him through this person's eyes.

He even wondered if there was some switch hidden in Tao Zhonghua's body, which required him to say some key words, or pass some test set by the Emperor, so that he could establish contact with the Emperor through this person.

With this thought in mind, one day, "True Lord Beidou" ordered the guards in the house to leave, then closed the doors and windows, and removed all items from Tao Zhonghua that might be used to communicate with the outside world.

Afterwards, he stood in front of Tao Zhonghua and slowly took off the mirror-smooth mask on his face.

Under the mask is a face of stark contrast.

On the left side, the skin is fair and clean, just like that of a normal person, revealing a healthy complexion;

The right half, on the other hand, was a completely different scene. The marks left by the burns were visible and mottled, the skin looked uneven, and the color was much darker, like an old tree that had experienced wind and frost.

Tao Zhonghua looked horrified, not knowing what this rebel leader was going to do.

He had heard that in the entire Lingxiao Realm, no living person had ever been able to see the true appearance of "Lord Beidou"; or in other words, those who had seen his true face had all died at his hands.

"Is this madman going to kill me?" Tao Zhonghua, whose cultivation was sealed, speculated in panic, "But if he really wanted to kill me, why did he let me see his face? Is this the unique logic of a madman?"

All I heard was "True Lord Beidou" saying in a calm but respectful tone: "Emperor, my real name is Lu Qiuliang. I used to be a lowly person living at the foot of Songhe Mountain, under the jurisdiction of a small sect called Biquan Sect.

“You overthrew the old power in Lingxiao Realm and created the glory of Heavenly Palace with your own hands, but unfortunately, Taishang Haotian stole the fruits of your victory.

"Taishang Haotian did not bring Lingxiaojie a peaceful and prosperous era with abundant goods and people as prosperous as dragons.

"Instead, it has caused ordinary people like us to fall into a deeper quagmire of suffering.

“In order to fight against you, Taishang Haotian tried his best to win over many powerful forces such as the Mo Sect, the Sky Fox Clan, the Yanling Clan, and promised them many privileges, including exempting them from paying tribute to the Lingxiao Alliance.

“But you should know that if an alliance wants to maintain normal operation, it must have a lot of resources to support it.

"As a result, these heavy burdens were naturally transferred to other small forces and more ordinary people."
