Chapter 260 The Light That Pierces the Haze
After imprisoning Nora for a few days, Zhao Xun tentatively entered Nora's sea of ​​consciousness, wanting to see what was in her mind.

This is not a simple matter, because the sea of ​​consciousness of Mozong practitioners is stronger than other practitioners.

Ordinary Taoist disciples may have been blocked from the beginning.

If you can't find the method, it's hard to really go deep into the sea of ​​consciousness.

But he didn't give up.

Anyway, he is also the direct disciple of Daoist Qinglian and Yuan Tiangang's adoptive son. If he can't even enter the sea of ​​consciousness of a mere fourth-rank demon sect witch, it would be a joke to pass it on.

Zhao Xun then tried four or five times, which took two hours, but all failed.

Now Zhao Xun was really depressed.

"Ming Yun, why don't you invite Daoist Qinglian to come here once? This is not a time to save face."

After hesitating again and again, Jia Xingwen suggested in a deep voice.

"Ah."

Zhao Xun is not a deadhead either, since he really can't enter Nora's sea of ​​consciousness, there is no need to carry it to death.

What's the matter if you want to save face and suffer?

"I'm going to Qinglian Temple right now. Brother Jia will keep an eye on it for me here."

After saying that, Zhao Xun left the government office, got on his horse, beat the horse and raised his whip, and went straight to Leyouyuan.

...

...

"Master, you must help me this time."

Zhao Xun is capable of flexing and stretching. Facing problems that he cannot solve, he naturally pins his hopes on his mentor Qinglian Daoist Wu Quanyi.

Well, it's something that can be solved by just talking about it, why do you want to save face and suffer.

"Well, I will go there as a teacher."

Daoist Qinglian stroked his beard with great enjoyment.

In his memory, it's rare for a good boy to beg him so directly.

The apprentice finally begged once, and he had no reason not to agree.

...

...

"It's here, teacher, please come in."

Zhao Xun respectfully brought his mentor to the bad man's yamen, and then the two came to the prison one after another.

"Mingyun, you guys are here, Daoist Qinglian has worked hard for you to make a trip."

Seeing the two men coming, Jia Xingwen quickly went up to meet them.

"Where is the demon girl of the Demon Sect being imprisoned now?"

"It's right here."

Jia Xingwen led the way and brought Wu Quanyi to a private room.

This cell is very tidy, and it is a single room.

Naturally, such good conditions are not for the purpose of treating this demon girl preferentially, but for the consideration of preventing her from violently injuring others.

After all, Nora's cultivation was at the fourth rank, and ordinary prisoners might not be able to survive a single move in his hands.

"Teacher, it is difficult to enter the Sea of ​​Consciousness of the demon girl of the Demon Sect. I have tried several times according to the formula you taught, but I just can't succeed."

Zhao Xun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It seems like there is a restriction."

"Well, let's take a look for the teacher."

Wu Quanyi didn't seem to be worried at all, he said leisurely, and then walked slowly towards the cell.

Nora could feel Daoist Qinglian's powerful aura, and immediately forced out the true energy in her body to stop Wu Quanyi.

This is exactly the same as the stress response of animals when they encounter a critical situation, just like cats and humans. It is not for threatening anything, but purely for self-protection.

"Duh!"

Wu Quanyi didn't care at all, and said a word coldly.

Immediately, Nora seemed to be frozen, and her whole body was like a sculpture.

"This is not safe."

Daoist Qinglian said lightly.

He held his breath and concentrated his body, then levitated up, sitting cross-legged as if sitting in the air.

The sealed Nora's mana was so weak that she couldn't stop Daoist Qinglian from entering her sea of ​​consciousness.

The difference in cultivation between the two sides is too big, she can't resist.

When using the mind-observing technique, Wu Quanyi seemed very quiet and kept silent.

Zhao Xun didn't dare to disturb, and quietly stood aside.

About the time of a cup of tea, Qinglian Daoist Wu Quanyi withdrew from Nora's sea of ​​consciousness, and let out a long breath of foul air.

"Tsk tsk..."

Wu Quanyi looked very surprised.

"Unexpectedly, the High Priest of the Demon Sect has arrived."

"what!"

I thought that the mentor would tell me some information about Nora's associates, but unexpectedly, the mentor directly pointed out the news about the high priest of the Demon Sect.

That is the highest realm practitioner in the Demon Sect, and his status is similar to that of the head of the academy.

Of course, one good and one evil cannot be compared at all.

"The current situation is even more dangerous than the teacher imagined."

Wu Quanyi said with emotion: "At the beginning, I thought that the Mozong was only involved in it, but now it seems completely different."

After a short pause, Wu Quanyi continued: "The Demon Sect is not participating, but leading. The High Priest came to Chang'an in person, it is impossible to just enjoy the scenery."

This logic makes perfect sense, Zhao Xun nodded.

"So what should we do now?"

"You can continue to search in Chang'an City without stopping. But the key point right now is not this, but how to deal with the high priest."

Daoist Qinglian's face changed from relaxed to heavy, which made people a little confused for a while.

"The imperial court must know about it. As for the academy... I guess the head of the mountain already knows."

"Well, even if he doesn't go out, the old man Shan Zhang knows all about the world's major events like the back of his hand."

"With the current reserve of practitioners in Chang'an City, it should be easy to deal with a high priest, but I'm afraid that other forces will intervene."

Zhao Xun naturally understood what his mentor meant.

Before the East Sea Monster Kingdom and Dongyue Jiange entered the arena, Zhao Xun felt that things were not easy.

If the Buddhists of the Western Regions and the Nanman witches and Gu masters also join in this game, the game will become even more chaotic.

Now that things are up, Zhao Xun naturally wants to calm down as much as possible, trying to understand the chess game.

Even if the calculation is wrong, at least you can not regret it if you have worked hard.

...

...

The Imperial Palace is undoubtedly the most tense place in Chang'an City recently.

Ever since King Yan was assassinated, Emperor Xianlong's temperament became very weird, the palace people were often beaten and scolded, and they were cautious for fear of offending Tianwei by saying something wrong.

There is no law to speak of in this palace, the words of Emperor Xianlong are the law.

A word can determine life and death.

There is only one exception.

That is Zheng Jie, the internal servant.

At this moment, Zheng Jie hurried towards the direction of Zichen Hall.

Just now he got good news.

The bad guy Zhao Xun captured the female assassin who assassinated His Royal Highness King Yan.

Although Zheng Jie has a lot of prejudice against Zhao Xun, he has to admit that Zhao Xun is indeed very capable.

In the past, such cases may not necessarily be able to find out the results in ten days and half a month.

It only took Zhao Xun three to five days to find out the truth of everything.

Maybe it's talent.

In any case, this is a bad breath for the royal family, for the court, and for Emperor Xianlong.

Your Majesty may breathe a sigh of relief when he hears the news, right?
The pressure on His Majesty during this time is really too great, and he needs time to take a good rest.

...

...

When Zheng Jie reported the news of Zhao Xun's capture of the female assassin to Emperor Xianlong, the supreme emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't restrain his inner excitement, and even shouted excitedly in the hall.

This is extremely rare.

One must know that Emperor Xianlong has been on the throne for nearly [-] years, and he has already developed a complete imperial mind.

In terms of deep scheming, Emperor Xianlong is not inferior even when compared with his ancestors who have made great achievements.

"Now I finally let out a bad breath, and I'm about to be suffocated to death these days."

In the eyes of Emperor Xianlong, the majesty of the emperor is the most important thing.

His prince, the dignified prince, was assassinated in his own palace, who could bear it?
If he really endured it, what is the prestige of the royal family? Wouldn't it be that he fell directly into the bottom of the valley.

"Where is this female assassin now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the assassin is being imprisoned in the prison of bad people."

Zheng Jie responded respectfully: "Zhao Xun and the others have already entered into the sea of ​​consciousness of the female assassin by using the mind-watching technique. I believe they will be able to wipe out all her accomplices in a short time."

"Okay, great!"

Emperor Xianlong said viciously: "I will catch them all in Ling Chi and execute them."

Ling Chi can be said to be the top form of torture, and Emperor Xianlong wanted to use the Ling Chi punishment on the Mo Sect practitioners, which was enough to show his hatred for the Mo Sect members.

"Your Majesty, they also saw one more thing..."

Although Zheng Jie couldn't bear to spoil Emperor Xianlong's good mood, there were some things that Emperor Xianlong had to know sooner or later, it was nothing more than a matter of time.

Face it earlier and have more time to plan.

"Say."

Emperor Xianlong spit out a word coldly.

"The High Priest of the Demon Sect has arrived in Chang'an."

Zheng Jie's words made the excitement on Emperor Xianlong's face disappear instantly, and the whole person felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"What did you say... the High Priest of the Demon Sect...has arrived in Chang'an?"

Although Emperor Xianlong is the emperor of the secular world, he is also very clear about the division of the major cultivation systems.

This is a matter of common sense.

Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, magic, this is a broad classification.

There are also some other classes that are not included in it.

But it doesn't matter.

The top practitioners of Mozong are called high priests, and the second-top practitioners are called priests.

Although there is only one word difference between the two, it is a world of difference.

"Is the high priest a super product?"

Emperor Xianlong confirmed to Zheng Jie again.

"Yes, the high priest has already entered the super-grade realm."

"Tsk tsk..."

Emperor Xianlong smiled wryly and said, "Compare him with Daban, who is stronger?"

"Hard to say."

Zheng Jie didn't give an answer directly, but changed the topic: "But if the high priest has helpers, I'm afraid it will be a bit dangerous."

These words were like a stone pressing on Emperor Xianlong's chest.

If it is just a high priest, Chang'an City will always be able to find someone to resist.

But if two, three or even more high priests form an alliance, it is really not easy to find resisters of the same strength.

"What I am most worried about now is the Western Regions. If Anxi is unstable, the sandbars in Guazhou will be in danger. Then there may be military disasters in Liangzhou and other places, and it is unknown if it will extend to Chang'an."

Emperor Xianlong certainly understood what Zheng Jie was referring to.

But in his mind, the most dangerous is the Western Regions.In comparison, Jiannan Road and Jiangnan Road are nothing.

"Up to now, we can only take one step at a time."

Emperor Xianlong said with emotion: "I only hope that God will bless you, and our ancestors will bless you."

...

...

Fifty miles outside Chang'an City.

In the big camp where the barbarians gathered in the north, the high priest and the barbarian Khan Ashinazhuo were sitting in the big tent to discuss.

"High Priest, when will we attack Chang'an? We have been in Chang'an for so long, and we have been only looting around, but have no intention of attacking. I am worried that after a long time, the boys will become slack."

Although Ashina Zhuo is a khan, he is very respectful to the high priest.

The reason is also very simple, the high priest is a top practitioner.

The role played by a top practitioner in a national war is comparable to that of thousands of troops.

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

With such a noble person, Ashina Zhuo naturally had to be respectful for fear of offending him.

"not the right time yet."

The high priest shook his head and sighed, "I lost contact with the practitioners lurking in the city. Something must have happened to them."

"This…"

The war is imminent, and there should be an accident inside, but it is really not good news.

"There is no good way right now. If we attack the city at this time, the possibility of success is too low. It's better to wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Facts have proved that the reason why the high priest has been slow to do it is not because he doesn't want to do it but because he knows he can't do it.

It's fun to act rashly, but the consequences are very serious, and it is likely to end up in an unmanageable situation.

"Today, that's all there is to it."

Ashina Zhuo said with emotion: "I hope they will come soon."

...

...

Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.

The head of the mountain sat alone by the lake and fished.

Holding the fishing rod in one hand, he was half lying on a big rock, very relaxed.

"Shan Zhang, the junior brother really did a good job this time, and it can be regarded as adding luster to our academy."

"Don't worry, this is just an appetizer, and then there will be hard dishes for dinner."

The head of the mountain said calmly: "It's the Demon Sect and the barbarians who can't hold back now. It's been a long time since they arrived in Chang'an, right? But they haven't dared to attack the city for a long time."

"Shan Zhang, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. We just have to wait quietly now, shall we?"

Long Qingquan has been following the head of the mountain these days, and has long been accustomed to the way the head of the mountain thinks about problems.

"Yes, it's inconvenient to deal with all kinds of changes."

Shan Chang's current philosophy of life is quite a bit of the Taoist idea of ​​​​ruling by doing nothing.But there is a bit of contention added to the non-dispute, so it is not the same.

"Of course, if they dare to attack Zhongnan Mountain, they are going against the academy, and we can take action in advance."

Zhongnan Mountain is the bottom line of the mountain leader and a forbidden area that cannot be touched.

"Third son, write a letter for me and send it to Tianshi Yuan."

"Send a letter?"

"Well, just use the teleportation technique. Isn't Chang'an City under martial law?"

"Ah..."

Long Qingquan was stunned.

"It's not good to use teleportation at such a short distance?"

"Do you have a better way? Could you fly with the sword again?"

"Okay, then I'll use teleportation to deliver the letter."

In front of the head of the mountain, Long Qingquan really couldn't get angry, so he could only respond respectfully.

"Shan Zhang, what is the content of the letter?"

"Ask Tianshi Yuan to come to Zhongnan Mountain one day to play a game of chess."

"Is it as simple as playing chess?"

"If he wins, I will agree to shoot."

Shan Chang said loudly.

It turned out to be the case.

Long Qingquan suddenly realized at this moment.

In the end, it is another top practitioner who can make a top practitioner, not some supreme emperor in the world.
