Pawn Crossing the River

After Unuratu fell, the Heron Society did not fall. Utu was still there, and the bugmen were still there. After all, Ixichel was backing them.

Qi Xuansu's first suspicion was the Heron Society.

However, after careful investigation by Juesheng Church, it was discovered that the rumors actually came from within Xidaomen.

So Tantai Ying told Huangfu Ji about the incident. After all, the cause was the leak of secrets, and the biggest suspect was also someone close to Huangfu Ji.

After Huangfu Ji knew about this, he was very angry. Although he was not the party involved, he had a feeling that if I didn't kill Boren, Boren would die because of me. If there were any problems with Qi Xuansu's promotion to Shenzhen Zhenren because of this matter, then how could he have the face to meet Qi Xuansu?

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses. Although Huangfu was not the emperor, given his status, his anger should not be underestimated, and the person who leaked the secret was quickly found out.

The result was dramatic. The man accidentally let the news slip while he was drunk, and did not intend to reveal the secret. After all, at the wine table, there is always something to talk about, either giving advice on the country and talking about state affairs, or talking about trivial matters about men and women.

It just so happens that this matter has something to do with national affairs as well as men and women. Don't worry about whether there is a man-woman thing between the two people. Just ask you whether the two parties involved are a man and a woman.

The story of Huangfu Xi's secret visit to Qi Xuansu was spread like this. After the people at the wine table heard about it, they acted it out again and continued to spread the news. Issues about the private lives of such big figures are a subject that many people like to hear about, and it eventually became Tawantin’s version of the Queen’s story.

Huangfuji directly demoted the subordinate who got into trouble while drunk to a third level for retention, and the other people who spread rumors were suspended and demoted, and the lightest punishment was a major demerit.

In fact, Huangfu Ji also understood that this was just to find out the source of the rumors, which was the part that leaked the secrets. These rumors were only circulated within Xidaomen at first. Who spread these rumors widely in such a short period of time and made them no longer limited to Xidaomen is still unknown. There must be someone else.

But after a rumor spreads, it’s really difficult to investigate. After all, many people will spread the word spontaneously. It's like a mine cart going down a mountain. It only needs a push at the beginning, and the rest depends on inertia. Moreover, the Xidao Sect is not as strict as the Dao Sect in terms of internal control, so all Jueshengtang can do is to prevent the rumors from spreading further.

Although according to the first law, the more official the denial, the more credible it is. This kind of behavior of Jue Sheng Church personally committing suicide will cause some people to have no doubts about Tawanting's version of Marietta's story, but they can't care about that much. Tawanting Whether the people in the imperial court believe it or not will not affect Qi Xuansu's promotion to Shenzhi Zhenren. It is enough that the people in the Taoist sect do not believe it.

When things have developed to this point, Qi Xuansu has to agree.

However, in the process of investigating the source of the rumors, Juesheng Church had an unexpected gain. They accidentally discovered a traitor from the Xidaomen who was instigated by the Evangelical Department of Steam Gospel.

It's easy to say that there are external forces interfering. All the responsibility lies with Steam Gospel.

Of course Qi Xuansu would not believe this rhetoric. External forces did exist and did have evil intentions, but all problems could not be blamed on external forces. But Qi Xuansu also had to admit that this was indeed a more decent statement. It was better for conflicts to shift outward than to explode internally.

This traitor also spread rumors, but it had nothing to do with the mission of the Gospel Ministry. It was purely out of personal interest and he started to make noise.

As a result, after the accident, others only downgraded him and recorded a demerit, and he went directly into hell.

The whole thing was "outrageous" from the inside out. It was outrageous enough for the Xidaomen people to brag and leak secrets at the wine table, but it was even more outrageous for the spies in the Gospel Ministry to expose themselves by gossiping. The North and the South are worthy opponents.

However, the Gospel Ministry also said that the exposure of the "Ape God" has caused the destruction of our many years of arrangements. All those with a little ability have been arrested, and this is the only thing left. Let's make do with it. It's better than nothing.

Probably in order to cover up the embarrassment, Juesheng Church took advantage of the situation and began to attack external forces, mainly starting with this spy of the Gospel Ministry. This very unprofessional spy did not use any tricks, he recruited them all, just to get a few years off his sentence.

According to his explanation, Steam Gospel established a secret observation post near New Paititi, hidden in the rainforest mountains. After all, the southern continent is vast and sparsely populated, with many rainforests and mountains. After a small group of troops penetrated in, It's really hard to find.

The spy didn't know the specific location, he only knew that there was such an observation post.

The name of the Juesheng Church shows that they are more protective of the Holy Court than internal conflicts, so the Juesheng Church immediately launched a large-scale mountain search operation to find the observation post of the Steam Gospel.

The hard work paid off. After all, it was on its own territory. Jueshengtang finally discovered traces of this observation post near a mausoleum.

Tantai Ying decided to go into battle personally this time and capture this observation post. At the same time, he also reported to Qi Xuansu. After all, Tantai Ying was now under the command of Qi Xuansu. This was a matter decided by Yinque. Tantai Ying still had to respect his superior.

Qi Xuansu happened to be dealing with Beichen Hall's rebuilding of the Northern Continent's intelligence system recently. He wanted to let it go, but Master Qingwei didn't give him this chance. He just contacted him a few days ago and asked him to grasp the general direction and do his best to serve as the Chief Deputy. It is the hall master's responsibility to ask questions if anything goes wrong.

Qi Xuansu had to take care of it, so Qi Xuansu held meetings for several days to discuss this matter. Now Tantai Ying wants to take over the observation post of Steam Gospel. Qi Xuansu is also interested in Steam Gospel because of the reconstruction of the Northern Continent's intelligence system, so he goes with Tantai Ying.

It happened that the three thousand spiritual officers and "horned dragons" had not yet been evacuated, so Tantaiying directly mobilized one thousand spiritual officers and "horned dragons" to "suppress the bandits" in line with the mentality of not using them in vain.

If the turtle can't shrink out, use the "Ceratopsian" to take a shot.

At this time, Tantai Ying and Qi Xuansu did not leave in person, but stood on the deck of the "Chorned Dragon", overlooking the mountain rainforest below. The spiritual officials had already moved in three directions towards the direction of the mausoleum. Because the tomb is built on a cliff rather than underground, it is relatively easy to surround without worrying about too many secret passages.

The priests and Templars hiding in the mausoleum have also been aware of it and are preparing to fight to the death.

This observation post was specially set up by Steam Gospel to observe the movements of Xinpaititi. It was also a transfer station for various intelligence. For example, the information that Qi Xuansu entered Beijing and deposed the two emperors and empresses was immediately sent to Beijing through this observation post. Mission San Antonio on the Continent. Therefore, the configuration inside the observation post is not low. The leading priest is a metropolitan, who is equivalent to a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest within the Taoist sect.

Inside the tomb at this time, the metropolitan stood on the sarcophagus of the owner of the tomb, holding up the sacred book in his hand, and was delivering what may be the last sermon in his life: "All flesh is like grass, and all his glory is like grass." All beauty is like the flowers of the grass; the grass withers and the flowers wither, but the word of our Lord endures forever.”

The Templar Knights are different from the Paladins. They are more similar to the spiritual officials of the Taoist sect.

Many Templars knelt on one knee, pressed their right hands to their chests, and listened to the priest's sermon.

The priest glanced across and asked loudly: "Knights, do you have the determination to dedicate everything to our Lord, even your own life?"

The knights replied in unison: "In order to defend the glory of the Lord, we are not afraid even if we return to the Lord's arms the next moment. This is our supreme honor."

The priest nodded with satisfaction and continued to turn over the holy book in his hand: "On behalf of the Holy Court, the most devout servant of our Lord in the world, I will grant you the sacred power to defeat the evil pagans."

The divine power from St. York and St. Francis Cathedral transcended the distance of space and descended directly into this mausoleum in the southern continent.

Many Templar Knights bathed in this "divine grace" and their strength skyrocketed.

The priest finally warned these Templar Knights with strong will and devout faith: "Our Lord's Supreme Will is omnipotent. The difficulties and obstacles in front of you are all tests of the Supreme Will. As long as your faith is pious and firm enough, , then the sword in your hand can cut through all thorns."

There is a strange rhythm in the priest's voice, which is beyond the scope of normal motivation. It is like the whisper of the devil, leading others into the bottomless abyss.

The Templars were full of fanaticism.

When the spiritual officials approached the entrance of the tomb, these Templar knights who had been blessed with divine magic swarmed out and launched an almost suicidal resistance.

With the support of fanaticism, these Templar Knights exploded with strength far beyond their usual strength. Their souls were burning. Souls were of course valuable, and they were a kind of hard currency. What the ancient gods wanted for blood sacrifices was souls. The apostles of hell also want souls when conducting various deceptive transactions. The Templars burned their souls at this time, which naturally gave them strength far beyond their usual strength.

No matter how fanatical the believers are, they still pursue the return of the soul to the embrace of the supreme will after death. This behavior of burning the soul is definitely not from their original intention, but rather seems to be incited and bewitched.

The priest in charge of blessing took advantage of the chaos and escaped through another exit of the tomb.

He had his own excuse: Only by living can he better spread the glory of the Supreme Will, so he could not die here.

If he was surrounded by just a few hundred spiritual officials, it would be possible for him to escape, but this time Tantai Ying mobilized thousands of spiritual officials, so the priest encountered the firepower of the spiritual officials as soon as he left the mausoleum.

Although most spirit officers are unable to fly, they are equipped with firearms. However, this priest also expected this. A light shield that looked like an eggshell appeared around him, protecting his entire body, and he actually had to break through with all kinds of projectiles.

Tantai Ying saw this scene clearly and decided to take action personally. He jumped directly from the deck of the "Ceratopsian" and rushed towards the priest.
