God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

"What is the specific situation of Wuxing Mountain?"

The stunning figure just standing there made people dare not look directly at him.

"My Lord, the thirteen disciples of the Inspection Office of Xuanshan Sect..."

The only voice in the room was the spy's report.

Until two breaths of silence.

The peerless figure then raised his white teeth and said, "Since there were no inner courtyard elders to help, why were the two Xuanming elders killed?"

"I have found out that the killer was Pei Daoye."

"Pei Daoye?"

The woman looked calm: "Kill him."

"Yes."

"Something unexpected happened at the Five Elements Mountain. The Saint Lady..."

The woman suddenly received a sound transmission note. Her face changed slightly after a moment and she recalled the spy: "The plan for the Five Elements Mountain incident has changed. Keep a close eye on their every move and do not act on your own."

"Yes, but sir...if we let them go, our arrangements in the Five Elements Mountain will be completely exposed."

"The Saint knows about this matter. She will make her own decision. You just need to follow her orders."

"Yes."

……

Inside the Five Elements Mountain.

“Is this the altar?”

"A bit like that. But why do I feel like... it's like a formation?"

"What on earth is this? Does any of you recognize it?"

underground.

Thirteen inspectors including Pei Daoye walked through the long corridor and stared at the altar built on the ground.

"Do you think this could be an altar left over from five thousand years ago?" the young man surnamed Hu said suddenly with his eyes shining.

Hai Wuyan stepped forward and fiddled with it twice: "Well, this ornament is from last week. Smell it, it's pure handmade."

The young man surnamed Hu gave a dry laugh.

"However, there seems to be no signs of activation." Pei Daoye also searched around.

After searching for a while, everyone couldn't find any progress and felt very puzzled.

"If there is no problem here, those two guys would not have set an ambush..."

"I still don't know their identities, but I always feel like there's something wrong."

Hai Wuyan carefully looked at the layout of the scene.

"I'll go ask if there are any fellow disciples who know how to use formations nearby."

However, he never expected that when Pei Daoye fiddled with the stones on the ground, a series of portraits appeared in the void.

"what are these?"

The incomprehensible portraits made Hai Wuyan and others frown.

"It really seems to be a scene of sacrifice..."

"What do these mean?"

"City God!"

The hot chili sister suddenly said, "This is the etiquette for enthroning the City God."

"City God?" Everyone was surprised.

The two-story City God Temple does not seem to be very big and has a brick structure.

Inside the broken incense burner, one could still see piles of white ash.

The scene stopped abruptly.

Many disciples of Xuanshan Sect were shocked and confused.

"So those two people were planning to follow the example of the City God? But there is no such thing as a City God now..."

According to the ancient records left behind at that time.

The City God has a physical form but no spirit, and his position is like a vacant position... Tens of thousands of years ago, it was said that some great men and heroes could leave their spirits behind, which were then gathered together with the incense and offerings of the people.

"Do you think... could these fragments be the incense burner in the picture just now?"

As Pei Daoye pointed at the pieces of debris on the ground, Hai Wuyan and the others were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed.

Although the place of inheritance recorded in "Cheng Jian Zai" has not been found, it would also be a great achievement if the sacrificial objects of the City God from even longer ago were found.

Fast forward two days later.

Pei Daoye and his group returned to the mountain gate, but did not wait for Qin Tianjian's Poyun Boat.

Just as they guessed, the information involving the City God also made the elders of the mountain gate take it seriously, and they sent people to investigate that day.

……

"The reward this time was quite a lot...it's just a pity that we couldn't find Tianshan in one go."

"Any information from other teams?"

Pei Daoye asked.

"We've all returned, but none of the seven addresses have been found." Hai Wuyan said with regret.

Pei Daoye was a little surprised: "Could there be some missing places?"

"Maybe. After all, with more than 5,000 years of history, many things have changed over the years." Hai Wuyan said casually.

Pei Daoye nodded, not feeling much regret.

For him, finding Tianshan or not is just a part of the mission.

He had just arrived at the cave and was about to go into seclusion, but he didn't expect that Huai Shu sent a message. He could only pretend nothing had happened and went down the mountain, and then he answered his message.

[Brother Jiu, there is something urgent...]

……

"what's up?"

When Pei Daoye arrived, Huai Shu was alone, holding a sound transmission note and saying something.

"Just last night, our Seventeenth Palace was invaded by a mysterious person, and seven brothers died..."

"Mystery man?"

Pei Daoye couldn't help but worry that his identity might be leaked.

If that is the case...

Then he is in danger too.

But all this was just his guess.

"You haven't found out their identities yet?"

Huai Shu shook his head: "The Palace Master has also been alerted and is investigating now, but she said... this group of people might be here to deal with you."

"Deal with me?" Pei Daoye took a deep breath, very confused: "I don't have any mortal enemies outside, why are you dealing with me?"

"I don't know...but the Palace Master said so." Huai Shu stood beside the ancient tree with his hands hanging down, a little at a loss.

Originally his world was very simple... completing missions, killing people, completing missions, and looking for Jian Jiu.

But suddenly one day, problems arose among this group of people.

An inexplicable panic seemed to spread among the crowd. No one knew who the enemy was...

"Can we contact the Palace Master?"

Pei Daoye wanted to ask the other party why he was so sure.

But unfortunately, Huaishu couldn't get in touch with me when he tried to contact me...

Pei Daoye made a prompt decision: "Go to the headquarters."

……

After speeding for hundreds of miles, the stuffy and damp air blew towards us with the whistling wind, and a suburban scene that looked like ruins came into view.

This is Pei Daoye's first visit to the headquarters.

In the past, he had contacted Shangguan Xiangling directly, and he himself didn't want to have too much involvement with Wanxiang Palace.

But now he has changed his mind.

The Middle Continent crisis lies ahead.

He should always find a way out for himself.

"who!"

Just after they passed through the bushes, two strong men in armor suddenly stared at Pei Daoye and Huai Shu vigilantly.

The two men's bodies suddenly tensed up like bows, their eyes flashed with ferocity, they were definitely not good people.

"One of our own."

Huai Shu hurriedly took out the badge of the Seventeenth Palace.

The two men looked Huai Shu up and down and said calmly, "The Palace Master has ordered that no one can enter the palace without Xuan."

Huaishu was stunned: "When did it happen?"

"Just now." The big man on the left said lightly.

"What should we do with Jian Jiu?" Huai Shu became anxious and looked at Jian Jiu.

Almost instantly, their eyes met, and with Pei Daoye's keen perception, he could feel the changes in the aura of the two people.

"I heard you came here for me, is that true?"

The tremendous force suddenly burst open.

Pei Daoye didn't hesitate at all.

He almost made his move while Huai Shu was looking at him in astonishment.

"boom!"

As the ground beneath his feet exploded, he rushed towards the two strong men as if he was caught in a hurricane!
……

Rumble!
Thunder roared.

Raindrops fell from the sky.

The sky and the earth are vast and boundless.

Outside the magic circle.

The group stared at the figure within the magic circle with expressionless faces.

"Leng Huang, I haven't seen you for twenty years, and you are still as charming as ever."

The middle-aged man in the lead spoke in a relaxed tone.

Within the magic circle.

The woman who was the master of the Seventeenth Palace stared expressionlessly at the figure beside the middle-aged man: "I didn't expect that you, the Ghost King's Palace, could actually incite my people to rebel."

"Rebellion? No, you got it wrong. Xu Tian has always been mine."

The middle-aged man sneered.

The woman's eyes did not change. "So, you came here in person, even at the cost of exposing Xu Tian's identity. What do you want? My life?"

"No, someone wants you to come over." The middle-aged man chuckled.

The woman named "Leng Huang" frowned slightly, but then she heard the middle-aged man continue: "Also, kill a man named 'Jian Jiu' by the way."

"Who is it?" the woman asked.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man had no intention of continuing to speak: "You will know if you follow me."

Seeing the woman taking out the magic weapon, the middle-aged man was not panicked: "You may not have figured out your current situation. Once you fight, the base of your Seventeenth Palace will be completely known to the outside world. This place is not far from Xuanshan Gate. Do you dare to take this gamble? What's more..."

He looked at the woman: "Do you think you are my opponent?"

"Have you in the Ghost King's Palace ever thought about the consequences of this?" The woman was not angry and her emotions were very stable. Perhaps this was also the reason why Shangguan Xiangling chose her.

"Consequences? The building is about to collapse, what consequences are you talking about? Leng Huang, don't you really want to find a way out for yourself? You and I have known each other for a while, I can choose not to say these things to you."

"So, I should thank you?" the woman asked back with contempt in her eyes.

The middle-aged man looked calm and said nothing more.

He has already said some things.

He said all this out of consideration for their old friendship.

But it seems that now...

It doesn't make any sense anymore.

He waved.

Only three words were spoken.

"Keep alive."

The dark shadows around came forward one after another to control the formation.

"Click——"

At this moment, something suddenly seemed to fall on the roof.

Everyone present, including the head of the Ghost King's Mansion, was slightly stunned. Just as they raised their heads...

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The exquisite roof of the Seventeenth Palace was instantly lifted up, and hot waves vented out.

Accompanied by a thunderous noise that shook the earth.

Thick smoke blocked out the sky.

Countless tiny pieces of iron shot out in all directions, but Leng Huang, who was in the formation, was not affected. She just looked over with a little surprise.

It was not until he saw the person coming that his surprised look suddenly turned into some astonishment.

She had thought of countless possibilities, but she had never thought of...

The person who appeared here turned out to be Pei Daoye.

"Pfft!"

The rolling heat waves vented out in the wildly shaking room. The two closest members of the Ghost King's Palace were caught off guard and had no time to dodge. Their armor was instantly pierced, and two balls of blood burst out.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

When the other people in the Ghost King's Mansion saw this scene, especially when they saw Pei Daoye coming with a sword, they all shouted loudly.

"Boom!!!"

In the burst of fire, Pei Daoye, who was wearing armor, directly broke through the wall and rushed to the front of everyone at the fastest speed. (End of this chapter)
