Retrograde fairy way

Xia Jing, the capital of the Great Xia Empire, is located in the middle of the three counties where the Great Xia royal family lived. The three counties Xiayang, Xia Hui, and Xia Hao are like guards, guarding and protecting it.

This makes Xiajing one of the most difficult big cities to conquer in the entire Great Xia, and this feature makes it known as the ancient capital of thousands of years, and it is also one of the largest cities in Great Xia.After dynasties have changed, but it is still the same grandeur as before, and even more magnificent.

In terms of area alone, it has a radius of nearly [-] kilometers. It is conceivable that such a huge city has a large population, which also makes Xiajing an important distribution center for information and resources of the entire empire. Countless forces have emerged, which can be described as a hundred schools of thought contending.

But in the imperial capital, apart from the most powerful force, the imperial machine, there are one sect, one hall, two pavilions and two lines, and the six major forces are the most powerful. .

One case refers to the Bichao Sect, the most powerful force behind the Great Xia Empire, where Xiajing is only a branch, which specializes in collecting various precious resources and information for the Bichao Sect.Although there are not many people, they are firmly at the top of the forces outside the empire. It is conceivable how strong the influence of the Bi Chao Sect in the Great Xia Empire is.

Although the Bichao Sect is located on the northeastern edge of the mainland, it seems to be far away, but its power can cover the entire continent. Even the forces of the other two empires dare not underestimate it. The prestige of the world's top forces.

One hall, the Casting Hall, is the place where all cultivators of the Great Xia Empire know to forge magic weapons. Its branches are spread all over the empire's counties and cities. I am afraid of it, although I don't know whether it is true or not, but it is not difficult for people to see how terrible it is, and it is also one of the forces that all forces in the Great Xia Empire do not want to provoke.

Although it is said that Zhuliantang is supported by mysterious forces, it never dared to go beyond the rules and challenge the majesty of Bichaozong and the imperial court. Components of first-class power.

The two pavilions refer to the Huayun Pavilion and the Zangjin Pavilion respectively. The two pavilions, one east and one west, are located at the two ends of the Great Xia Empire. They guard the two major gates for the empire.Although it can't compare with such a top power as the Bi Chao Sect, it is also a first-class power in the Great Xia cultivation world, and it is not generally comparable.Therefore, no one dared to easily provoke the branch set up in the imperial capital.

The two firms refer to Huayang Commercial Bank and Tongmai Commercial Bank. Although these two companies are mainly engaged in business, no one dares to underestimate him.After all, no one would fight against money. In other words, the wealth held by these two major trading houses was enough to make any martial artist tremble with fear.And to protect such a huge wealth, the strength required must be astonishing.

Huayang Commercial Bank is mainly engaged in board and lodging, and Tongsai Commercial Bank is mainly engaged in auctions. These two seemingly unrelated industries actually have countless nasty rivalries secretly. After all, people have ambitions, let alone who would dislike themselves. How much money is in your pocket?

Behind these huge forces, there may be powerful monks or strong financial resources behind them, making them superior to other forces.

However, among the six major forces, the Bichao Sect and the Great Xia Court are superior to the other four forces. Under the suppression of the Bichao Sect and the Imperial Court, these forces seem to be in peace with each other, but there is an undercurrent in the background. There is turbulence, there is no big battle, and small frictions continue.

This is also the simplest way for those in power to consolidate their position. When these forces are exhausted, they will not have other thoughts.

Under such circumstances, Xia Jing became the empire's largest distribution center for information and resources, and those weaker forces catered to survive in it, walking on thin ice.

After all, where there are people, there will be fights, and it is one of the most impossible things to want the same kind of creatures to gather together and live in peace.

The result of the struggle is the emergence of the strong and the weak, and there will inevitably be a gap between the rich and the poor, which is also an inevitable result.

The three teachings and nine streams gather together, and the strength is divided, and the chaos behind it can be imagined!

......

The headquarters of Zhuliantang is located in the west of Xiajing City. The tall and magnificent buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, are undoubtedly full of style.

But at this time, in the hall behind him, although there were only seven people, the atmosphere was rather dignified.

On the first seat in the lobby, there was a rather elegant middle-aged man in plain white robes, thin and beardless, looking at the half-kneeling man below, with a calm expression on his face: "Has there been news of wind and rain?" ?”

Although the tone of the middle-aged man was calm, in the ears of the people in the hall, it was no less than thunder on the ground. After a while, a small puddle was formed, which showed the panic in his heart.

The man's throat twitched for a while, as if it was extremely difficult to speak: "Back...back...Hall Master...Second...Young Master...I don't know...the whereabouts, my subordinates... Subordinates are incompetent!"

Listening to his words, the middle-aged man in the hall is actually Li Batian, the contemporary master of Zhulian Hall!It's unbelievable that the owner of such a domineering name is actually owned by someone who looks like a scholar.

And what they are talking about now is Li Fengfeng who has been missing for a few days.

"Since you are incompetent, what use are you for!"

Although this Li Batian seems weak, but those who know him well will understand that the more indifferent he is, the more angry he is at this time, and he may kill at any time.

"Ah! Forgive me..." Sure enough, the man heard what Li Batian said, and immediately said loudly. In desperation, he forgot his fear and spoke coherently!

But what answered him was, a big red hand with vitality, and a bang, a living person turned into a puddle of black ash.

Li Batian waved his hand lightly, as if driving away mosquitoes. Following his movement, the ashes turned into by the person in the hall were swept out of the hall by an invisible wave, and he was never seen again. If it was not for his own eyes See, I can't believe that there was a living person there just now.

After crushing a subordinate, as if it was insignificant, Li Batian said softly: "Check!"

After finishing speaking, Li Batian disappeared on the seat.

And with Li Batian's departure, all the people in the hall let out a sigh of relief, as if they had been pardoned, they were pale, and they left in a hurry without even wiping the sweat off their faces.

Afterwards, Nuo hall was silent again.

.....

The back hall of Casting Hall, where his family lived, was in one of the most conspicuous luxury buildings.

Li Batian's face was as heavy as water, and he was sitting at the side, beside him was a middle-aged beautiful woman, who seemed to be talking about something.

"Husband, have you ever returned from the mission of wind and rain?" The woman asked Li Batian with anticipation in her eyes.

Listening to his words, it turned out to be Li Batian's wife, Li Fengyu's mother, Chen Qiaoqian.

"Ma'am, I'm going out in the wind and rain, I'm afraid I won't be back in a short time!" Li Batian pretended to smile and said to Chen Qiaoqian.

Knowing the son is more like the mother, and knowing the husband is more like the wife, Chen Qiaoqian has already sensed something wrong from Li Batian's words, and asked anxiously: "Husband, the wind and rain have come to say hello every day. In the past twenty years, apart from not being in the hall, There has never been a break, but I haven't seen him on the road for three days in a row, and I didn't say before that I would go out on a mission!"

"This..." Li Batian's face turned ugly for a while. He knew that he couldn't hide it for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak at this time. Although he was usually busy with affairs and practice, how could he not know Chen Qiaoqian's temperament after being a husband and wife for nearly 30 years? ?

"Husband, is something wrong with the wind and rain? Tell me?" Chen Qiaoqian burst into tears when she saw him hesitating.

"Hey! Ma'am..." Seeing that Li Batian couldn't hide it, he immediately dragged out the whole matter, but he didn't know whether Li Fengfeng was dead or alive at this time, so he could only comfort him softly, and picked up some nice things to make Chen Qiaoqian feel relieved.

"Batian, you must bring the wind and rain back! Woohoo!"

Li Batian looked at Chen Qiaoqian, and said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry, the wind and rain are already strong, and everyone has their own ideas for everything. This time is just an accident, and I will be back in a few days!"

After saying such words, Li Batian couldn't convince himself. Although he didn't believe that his son would have an accident, according to the report by his subordinates, there were six monks in the hall who had refined Qi and lost contact at the same time.

And these people are all the priests stationed in Xia Jing all the year round, and they will not leave easily, unless they have their own orders or are transferred by their direct descendants.

But this time, they left at the same time, and at the same time, his son Li Fengyu was also missing. The meaning of this is unknown.

Mobilizing so many experts is definitely not a trivial matter, if it is successful, they will come back naturally, but now that they have lost the news, it is likely that something unexpected happened.

It is by no means a fool to be able to achieve his position. Through a simple clue, one can know the situation of his son at this time.

But this time Li Fengfeng didn't even disclose any information about his parents in order to be safe. This also made Li Batian's investigation quite difficult.

For three days in a row, there were no clues at all. If it weren't for this, Li Batian, who showed his calmness, would not kill people in front of his subordinates. Feeling bad right now.

Li Batian is a man with amazing aptitude. He only married his wife after he broke through the foundation establishment at the age of 45. Before that, he had been concentrating on cultivation.The mother of the eldest son, Li Fenglei, passed away long ago, and then Chen Qiaoqian, who gave birth to her two sons, Li Fenglei and Li Fenglei.

Afterwards, she devoted herself to cultivation and never married a concubine again.

And Chen Qiaoqian didn't think she was the mistress of the Li family, so she bullied Li Fenglei, who lost her mother when she was young, even better than her own son, but later, Li Batian sent her to a secret place to practice.

Having been together for nearly 30 years and having given birth to two sons for herself, she knows Chen Qiaoqian's temperament best. However, if she knows that something may happen to her son, she will surely die of heartbreak. .

But Li Batian was sad in his heart. He lost his son when he was old, but he didn't know who the murderer was. This left him nowhere to vent his anger, but he had to patiently comfort his beloved wife.

Seeing his beloved wife crying in his arms, as fierce as Li Batian, his heart ached endlessly, and he spoke softly to comfort him one after another, but the cold light in his eyes was like a sharp sword, and he couldn't stop spitting out.

Under his comfort, Chen Qiaoqian, who was tired from crying, fell into a deep sleep, but tears were still flowing on her face.
