Shenwu Evil Emperor

Chapter 254
In the huge Martial Academy meeting room, people sat around the big mahogany round table. The king of Xichuan County in purple robes, the three Pingjutang lords, and all the high-level officials of the Martial Academy were all on the line, even those who had never participated in the meeting. The middle-aged man in black robes from the Martial Academy meeting also appeared in the conference room, with his arms folded on his chest, standing far away in the corner behind Duke Xichuan.

At this moment, most people's faces are full of seriousness.

Since the Chiyue Continent entered the era of imperial rule, in order to survive, most sects have reached some agreements with the empire they are in, and the condition is to help the empire resist foreign enemies in exchange for their own stable development.In order to maintain its own rule, the empire did not exterminate these sects, but granted certain privileges to these sects.

However, with the passage of time, the major sects continued to recuperate, their power gradually grew, and they began to become restless. They wanted to seek greater rights and interests, and even overthrow the rule of the empire, intending to reproduce the scene of the ancient sects ruling the mainland .

For the sects that want to shake the foundation of the empire, the major empires have never shown mercy. Once discovered, they will be eradicated without hesitation.

The thunderous method shocked many sects, and also planted certain hidden dangers.

Many sects that were destroyed had some disciples who escaped the roundup by chance. Most of these disciples were diehard loyalists of the sect. After escaping, their resentment towards the empire became stronger and they always tried their best to create turmoil.

In the final match of the first-year year-end qualifying competition of the Martial Arts Department, the ancient strongman who pretended to be Long Qingshan was one of them.

"Young King, it has been found out that this person is the remnant of Wanghaizong who was destroyed ten years ago, Shen Du, the youngest elder of Wanghaizong." Gu Qiancheng said slowly in front of the round table.

"Wang Haizong..."

Prince Xichuan's eyes flickered, and he tapped his broad palm rhythmically on the round table a few times, and said lightly: "Wang Haizong lived on several islands in the West Sea. On the one hand, there was no search and arrest, and these remnants of crimes did not want to repent, it is really abhorrent!"

"When the Wanghai Sect was destroyed, only Shen Du survived among the suzerain, the four guardians and the ten elders. The rest of the escapees were all young disciples who had just started. However, after ten years have passed, these people should have grown up. " Vice President Xia frowned and said.

"Shen Du's move is clearly intended to demonstrate in front of this king. Although he himself has already conferred the head, this king cannot stop there. He must take action to deter the remnants of the sect, otherwise, they will only become more arrogant." The king of Xichuan County said indifferently, with the murderous intent in his words.

He paused, and continued: "Your Majesty, is there any news from the West Sea?"

"Qijun Wang, although our county wiped out Wanghaizong back then, because the West Sea Islands are far away from the inland of the county, we did not send troops to garrison them. We only planted some secret sentries. The secret sentries will send back news on time at the end of every month. Yesterday was the end of this month, but there was no news." A Ping Jutang lord replied frowning.

"It seems that something unusual happened on the islands of the West Sea." Prince Xichuan's eyes flashed, and he said lightly, "Send someone to investigate immediately!"

"Yes." The Lord Pingjutang who spoke earlier responded, and then took out a communication talisman from his bosom, wrote it, typed out a hand formula, and with a flash of light, the entire talisman disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing this, King Xichuan turned his head to look at Gu Qiancheng, and asked, "Dean, how is the investigation about Qiu Yongsheng going?"

"Qiu Yongsheng's death from poisoning is related to the elixir he took, but there is no clue as to who gave the elixir." Gu Qiancheng said in a deep voice, with a slightly tired look on his face.

In a small martial arts competition, two major accidents happened one after another, and he was under a lot of pressure.

"Well, we need to continue to investigate the matter, but the dean should also pay attention to rest." King Xichuan County said, his eyes glanced at everyone, and he said slowly: "The chaos in Xichuan County is getting worse, and I need your help. Everyone can perform their own responsibilities and jointly maintain the stability of Xichuan County."

"Please don't worry, the king of the county, we will definitely do our best." Everyone stood up and responded in unison.

"Well, then everyone can go to work first, Dean, Nanfeng and the three monarchs will stay here."

After the words of King Xichuan County fell, everyone left one after another. Soon, there were only a few people left in the conference room.

King Xichuan played with the jade wrench on his right thumb, and said slowly: "Dean, Shen Du can sneak into the martial arts academy and dare to take action in front of this king. He must rely on something. Escape safely..."

Hearing this, Gu Qiancheng frowned, and said solemnly: "Gu understands the meaning of the county king."

"Well, those present here just now are all high-level officials of the martial arts academy. It's not that I don't believe them. It's just that I have to be more cautious in these extraordinary times. I hope the dean can understand."

Hearing the words of Prince Xichuan, Guqiancheng dared not respond again and again.

"This king asked the emperor to send someone to investigate the islands of the West Sea just now in front of everyone. This king also hopes that someone can secretly investigate, which will be much safer." Xichuan County King continued.

"The king of the county means to choose from the disciples of the martial arts academy?" Gu Qiancheng pondered for a while before raising his head to respond.

"That's right, and I also have candidates. They are the top three in the first-year finals of the Martial Arts Department, Ling Yuchen, Zou Yunkai, and Yan Shifan." Prince Xichuan said lightly.

Hearing the words of Prince Xichuan, the middle-aged man in black robe who was still standing in the corner had a flash of light in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, although the three of them are outstanding first-year students in the martial arts academy, the situation of the islands in the West Sea is unknown, and they may not be able to catch up. Why don't they send a few third-year disciples of the martial arts academy?" Gu Qiancheng pondered. After a while, he said slowly.

"Hehe, is the dean worried that an accident will happen to them?"

The king of Xichuan County smiled and said: "I let them go, just to inquire about the news, not to kill people. Although the third-year disciples of the martial arts academy are powerful, they are easy to reveal their identities. Extraordinary, it is time to go out and exercise more at this time. If they come back safely and make great contributions, they must be the future talents of Xichuan County. If it is difficult to return, it can only prove that their luck is insufficient and it is difficult to use them. "

He paused and continued: "Having said that, I am full of confidence in their trip, especially that Ling Yuchen, if my prediction is correct, this son will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, and he will definitely be able to break through on this continent." Out of the world."

Gu Qiancheng smiled and said: "Since the king of the county thinks that the three of them are competent, then I will arrange it."

"Well, after two days, after they get the rewards they deserve, let's arrange for them to go." Duke Xichuan nodded.

……

In the early morning of the fourth day after the final match, Ling Yuchen's Wuyuan badge sent a message asking him to go to Wukutai immediately.

When Ling Yuchen was fully dressed and walked into the main hall of Arsenal, he saw Zou Yunkai, Yan Shifan, Li Yifei and two unfamiliar young men and women among them.

Seeing that woman, Ling Yuchen was slightly taken aback. This woman was about 20 years old, dressed in white, like wind and snow, with a dusty face and a faint snow mark between her eyebrows. It was the woman he met in the middle of the Tower of Disillusionment.

At this time, the woman was also looking at him with astonished eyes.

"You are Ling Yuchen? Heh, I've been hearing about you in the martial arts academy for the past few days, and I've always wanted to meet. I never thought we'd already met once." The woman in white said with a smile: "My name is Mu Fengxue, glad to meet you."

Hearing the girl in white report her family name, and seeing her extremely natural behavior, without any arrogance of being a genius, Ling Yuchen's affection doubled, and he smiled immediately: "I have also heard that there are two students in the second year of the martial arts academy. The extremely outstanding geniuses, Ouyang Qing and Mu Fengxue, have always wanted to see each other, and today they finally got their wish."

After saying this, he turned to look at the young man in black beside him, and said, "This one should be Ouyang Qing."

The young man in black smiled, stretched out his big hand like an eagle's claw, and said with a smile, "Exactly."

The two reached out and shook hands, and both felt a strong force coming from the other's hand. When they touched each other, it was indistinguishable for a moment, and there was a trace of surprise in the eyes of each other.

"You two have been holding each other for so long, don't you let go?"

On the side, Mu Fengxue's somewhat cold voice sounded leisurely.

Hearing these words, Ling Yuchen and Ouyang Qing let go of their hands at the same time, took a step back, and when they looked at each other again, there was a hint of sympathy on their faces.

At this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation in the hall, and in a moment, a skinny figure appeared from it. Seeing the face of this figure, the six people shouted in unison: "Vice President Xia."

"Since everyone is here, I won't repeat myself anymore. You should know the purpose of calling you here." Vice President Xia said with a smile: "You are the first and second year-end qualifying contestants of the Martial Arts Department of the Martial Arts Department. According to the rules, the top three are eligible to enter the martial arts arsenal to try their luck."

As he said that, Vice President Xia walked to the wall on the left, slapped his palms casually a few times, and there was a deep roar, and immediately, a dark passage appeared in front of Ling Yuchen and the six of them.

"Come with me." Waving to the five people, Vice President Xia entered the dark passage first, and then Mu Fengxue and Ouyang Qing followed without hesitation, followed by Li Yifei, Zou Yunkai and Yan Shifan waited until they had all entered before Ling Yuchen entered this dark passage cautiously. The experience of this year has also forged his cautious character.

After entering the passage, Ling Yuchen discovered that there were huge luminous stones inlaid on the wall. The faint light made the passage not completely dark. Although the light was a little weak, it was enough for Ling Yuchen and others.

The passage sloped downwards, as if leading underground. After walking straight for about a quarter of an hour, a light finally appeared at the end of the passage...
