Chapter 146: Mistaken?
Of course, the Blood Knife Ancestor didn't appear in Baihua Town for no reason.
In fact.
When he first appeared in Cangzhou three months ago, he was targeted by the secret guards of the Administrator's Academy.
Immediately afterwards, he was naturally targeted by Liang Chen.
This was the second chess piece he had dropped in order to find out the demon cult spies.
Since the Blood Knife Ancestor dared to appear so blatantly under the nose of Luming Academy, then he would definitely die.
But before he died, Liang Chen still wanted to squeeze his last use value.
Like the Blood Knife Ancestor, who is strong in his own strength, but has no mentors, he is of course an indispensable talent for the Underworld Sect.
Only by sending charcoal in the snow can you get loyal refuge.
It's a natural thing to do.
As soon as the Blood Knife Ancestor came, he alarmed the Ruling Division, presumably the disciples of other sects would not sit idly by after receiving the news, plus the ancient remnant talisman that had a "great origin" at the talisman appraisal conference.
Liang Chen didn't believe that the spy in the Sixiang Courtyard was not moved.
But the problem is that the people who know this news either have a powerful intelligence system themselves, or they have to show up in Baihua Town today.
Miao Qiuyu certainly belongs to the latter.
But with her strength alone, whether she wanted to snatch that ancient remnant talisman, or send a message to the Blood Knife Ancestor, or even help this Demon Dao Scattered Cultivator break out of the encirclement, she couldn't do it.
So Miao Qiuyu will naturally contact her on the line of Sixiang Academy.
This is the opportunity that Liang Chen is seeking.
At this time, there were less than two hours before the start of the talisman appraisal conference, and Miao Qiuyu's time was very urgent.
Qiao Zhuang asked Liang Chen and the others not to move next, so as not to startle the snake, so a few people from the academy stayed in this old teahouse.
Liang Chen pretended to meditate on the side, but in fact, he put all his mind on Miao Qiuyu's body.
It was difficult for the secret guards of the Administrator's Court in this place that the Adjudication Division was looking for to get mixed in, so all the next tracking work could only be done by Liang Chen alone.
Liang Chen is not a real spy and has never received spy training from the Academy, but if he just wants to keep up with someone, it is still very simple.
Seeing that Miao Qiuyu suddenly got up and walked towards the back hall of the teahouse, Liang Chen immediately activated the Shadow Shura.
turned himself into a wind shadow and floated over decisively and simply.
Since cultivating the Li Clan's Flying Knife to the Great Perfection, Liang Chen's five senses have been greatly enhanced, so even if the distance between the two is a little far away, and the light in the teahouse is dim, Liang Chen can see Miao Qiuyu's every move clearly, and can even hear her faint breathing.
But to Liang Chen's disappointment, Miao Qiuyu, who entered the inner hall, did not make any suspicious movements.
I didn't come into contact with anyone who could.
There was no attempt to leave any handwriting or contact with the outside world.
She just asked the official of the Ruling Division for a cup of strong tea in the inner hall, and then walked back slowly.
Everything looks natural.
Liang Chen hid in the dark and carefully observed Miao Qiuyu's expression.
I didn't see any nervousness, anxiety, or even the slightest bit of panic and weakness.
In the following time, Miao Qiuyu did not make any inexplicable moves.
She just sat in her place, her eyes closed, as if she was really preparing for the battle that might come next.
Seeing this scene, Liang Chen immediately frowned.
Something is not right.
It seems that Miao Qiuyu has no intention of looking for someone to report the news, and he has no intention of contacting his superiors at all.
Could it be that I made a mistake?
The people in the Underworld Sect are not interested in the news of the Blood Knife Ancestor at all?
Or did Miao Qiuyu not realize the importance of the Blood Knife Ancestor at all?
That's not right.
Previously, when Cao Qing mentioned the Blood Knife Ancestor, Liang Chen clearly caught a fleeting worry on Miao Qiuyu's face.
Or is it that this Miao Qiuyu is completely one-way connected with her upline, and she doesn't know who her upline is?
Or, Liang Chen guessed wrong from beginning to end.
Miao Qiuyu had no connection with the Underworld Sect at all.
For a while, Liang Chen's mind was complicated, and he had a sense of powerlessness to hit the cotton with a fist.
Just when Liang Chen was at a loss, time had passed quietly, and a group of officials of the ruling department, including Cao Qing, had already taken the first step to go to Zeng's house.
Qiao Zhuang waited for a moment, then got up and said, "It's almost time, let's go too." ”
Hearing this, Liang Chen's heart couldn't help but sink, but before he could speak, he listened to Qiao Zhuangxian and solemnly instructed: "That Blood Knife Ancestor is a powerhouse of the Amazing Yuan Realm, even if he was seriously injured before, he should not be taken lightly." In this operation, we mainly assist the adjudication department to act, and we must not be greedy for merit, and if we find that something is wrong at that time, we will discuss with me before making a decision. ”
Everyone responded, and then followed Qiao Zhuang and left the teahouse.
Walking on the road, Liang Chen still did not give up his surveillance of Miao Qiuyu, and even Tang Shishi on the side seemed a little absent-minded when he talked to him.
After a short time, several people had already come to the outside of Zeng Guang's house.
Today's Zeng Mansion is indeed crowded and lively.
Whether they are people who specialize in runes or not, they all came to see the excitement.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to enter the courtyard to see those precious talismans, so naturally, most of them crowded outside the door, one by one, with their feet on their feet, stretching their necks and poking into the door.
Qiao Zhuangxian's hand flashed slightly, and immediately a long wind rose from the ground, holding Liang Chen and the others directly into the air and sending them into the courtyard wall.
After landing, Qiao Zhuangxian immediately showed the order of Luming Academy, and immediately someone shouted and reported to the depths of the mansion.
So next, the owner of this mansion and the organizer of this year's talisman appraisal conference, Zeng Guang, a scattered talisman master, greeted him with sincere fear.
"It turned out that Senior Brother Qiao was here in person, please forgive Zeng for missing the welcome, it is really a sin. ”
Everyone is from Cangzhou Fudao.
Of course, Zeng Guang knew Qiao Zhuangxian.
For all Cangzhou casual cultivators, the gold-lettered signboard of Luming Academy is the mountains and seas that are beyond the reach of all of them, and there is naturally a natural sense of awe.
Zeng Guang didn't expect that he would be able to hold such a talisman appraisal conference by himself, and he would be able to shock the senior brothers of Luming Academy.
For a while, his face was naturally full of panic.
I was afraid that I had committed some taboo by others, so Senior Brother Qiao came to beat me personally.
Fortunately, Qiao Zhuangxian directly explained that he was here to appreciate the purpose of the talisman seal, which made Zeng Guang's hanging heart completely fall back.
What followed was naturally a big surprise.
From a certain point of view, the appearance of Qiao Zhuangxian can definitely be said to make this talisman appraisal conference shine, after all, he is the head of the dignified Sixiang Academy!
When it comes to the insights and achievements in the Fu Dao, they are far from being comparable to Zeng Guang's casual cultivation.
Just like Liang Chen, who had been the idol of the major disciples of the Three Peaks and Six Academies before.
In the Fu Dao circle in Cangzhou, Qiao Zhuangxian is naturally the biggest idol of the younger generation.
Today, if Senior Brother Qiao can come to the Talisman Appraisal Conference, I don't know how many rune cultivators will scream.
Thinking of this, Zeng Guang's face was about to smile crookedly.
I have already begun to think in my heart, whether I can make good use of this opportunity and get close to Senior Brother Qiao with more sets, so that I can hug this extremely thick thigh.
Of course, even if he didn't hug it, there were still several disciples of the inner and outer courtyards of the Four Elephants Academy for him to choose from!
It can be seen that this Zeng Guang is indeed a sharp-minded person.
Naturally, he also guessed what the real purpose of Senior Brother Qiao's trip was.
"Presumably, Senior Brother Qiao should also be here for that ancient remnant, please come with me, that talisman is now on display in the inner hall. ”
As he spoke, Zeng Guang led the way forward with a flattering face.
Qiao Zhuang Xian was very satisfied with such a neat and tidy approach, nodded lightly, and led everyone to follow behind Zeng Guang.
It's just that since then, a large group of his admirers have been surrounded by him.
Fortunately, there is still a certain difference between the people in the cultivation and the star-chasing fans that Liang Chen had seen in his previous life, and Qiao Zhuangxian's daunting identity is here, so everyone is quite restrained, and they didn't come forward to ask for an autograph or talk or anything.
Just whispered beside him without leaving the side.
It's as if taking a look at Qiao Zhuangxian can also make their cultivation increase suddenly and add an extra Dao edge.
"It's really Senior Brother Qiao! I didn't expect Senior Brother Qiao to come to the talisman appraisal conference!"
"This talisman appraisal conference is really worth it! I actually saw Senior Brother Qiao's deity!"
"The people next to Senior Brother Qiao should all be disciples of the Four Elephant Academy, right?
"Oh, I'll just say! I heard someone say that I saw Senior Brother Qiao appear in the Four Seas Restaurant, I still don't believe it! I didn't expect it to be true!"
......
Facing his many "fans", it is obvious that Qiao Zhuangxian, like Liang Chen at the beginning, is not too embarrassed to drive people away.
So he could only maintain a cold face and followed Zeng Guang to the inner hall of the mansion without saying a word.
There were a few gray-clothed swordsmen outside the hall who were guarding to the death, and the cultivators who had been following Qiao Zhuangxian before also stopped outside the door very consciously, just like those people outside the door, they gathered around and kept looking inside.
It's obvious.
The gate of the Zeng Mansion is the first threshold to participate in the Talisman Appraisal Conference.
And the door of this inner hall is the second one.
There were also a lot of various kinds of talismans on display in the outer hall, and even some loose cultivators made a deal with someone on the spot and sold all the inventory in their hands.
But if you want to take a look at the legendary ancient remnant, not everyone is qualified.
Entering the inner hall, the people here seem to be much more sparse.
I think they should all be some big people with status and strength.
Liang Chen looked around left and right, but he didn't see Cao Qing's figure, and he didn't know where this guy was ambushing.
But what really disappointed him was that in such a chaotic situation just now, Miao Qiuyu originally had 10,000 ways to fish in troubled waters, secretly pass on news or connect with people, but on the contrary, she still didn't do anything, which made Liang Chen doubt his judgment again.
If the final result shows that he really made a big fuss, then all the hard work of the past few months will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Liang Chen's mood couldn't help but be a little heavy.
And it was at this time that a middle-aged fat man with a fat head and big ears and a puff fan in his hand suddenly came up.
Since Liang Chen and his party came to Baihua Town, although he recognized the identities of everyone, he did not choose the first person to greet Qiao Zhuang.
Because the object of his speech was Liang Chen.
"Let me introduce myself, Yao Qian, the contemptible person, is the head of Qianlong Yuan, I didn't expect to see Liang Gongzi here again, it's really a blessing. ”
