Chapter 228: Confusing
"What about the people of the Murong family and the Buddhist Sect?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
Han Wei replied quickly: "The people of the Murong family have already converged with the five sects of the Dao Sect, as for the Buddha Sect, they have not yet appeared, and due to the long distance, they should still be on the road." ”
Gu Chen nodded at Han Wei, "Very good, the efficiency of the dark department is really good, Deacon Han will stay by this seat for the time being, let the disciples of the dark department continue to pay attention to the situation, and when the matter is over, this seat will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." ”
"Yes! subordinates obey orders!" replied Han Wei excitedly.
Han Wei was originally a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and he was also a member of the Chili line, who surrendered after being captured by the Pantheon Sect during the Battle of Bailing Valley.
Later, after screening, he was left in the Pantheistic Sect and became a member of the Suzaku Temple.
She has good talents, and she is also smart, she should have been vigorously cultivated by the Vermilion Bird Palace, but because she was born in the Heavenly Demon Sect Chili line, Tang Qingwu didn't trust her very much, so he planned to test her first before making plans.
Han Wei also realized this at that time, so she took the initiative to ask for orders to join the secret department of the Vermilion Bird Palace, she knew that only by proving her loyalty and ability first could she make the hall master and even the sect leader agree with her.
Up to now, she has been recognized by Tang Qingwu, and has gradually been entrusted with important tasks, from the original ordinary disciple of the dark department, to become the deacon of the dark department of the Vermilion Bird Hall in Zhongzhou, in charge of all the information of the Pantheon Sect in Zhongzhou.
At this moment, he was appreciated by the sect leader, and Han Wei believed that as long as this mission was successfully completed, he would definitely be able to be transferred back to the general altar, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Deacon Han leads the way, let's catch up with the people of the Dao Sect first, but it's best not to let them find out, now that the situation is unclear, it's better for my Pantheistic Sect to stay in the dark." Gu Chen said with a chuckle.
Now that the Shura Hall doesn't know what means there are, Gu Chen doesn't plan to expose it for the time being, and besides, the Pantheistic Sect is not really here to exterminate the Shura Palace, so let's let the Daomen open the way, and the Pantheistic Sect will follow.
......
With Sikong Bei, a person who is familiar with the Dry Bone Wasteland, plus Han Wei keeps in touch with the disciples of the dark department at any time, he is very well informed, and it only took five days to catch up with the large army of the Daomen.
A dark night.
In a valley, Gu Chen and the others were going to rest here for a night to recuperate.
Because, this place is not far from the Shura Temple, and the people of the Dao Gate have stopped in front.
Compared with the Pantheistic Sect, the road is easy and comfortable, but the people of the Daomen are miserable.
In the twenty days that the Daomen people entered the Dry Bone Wasteland, it can be said that they did not sleep a single peaceful sleep.
Not only do you have to face the attacks of strange beasts and poisons, but you also have to always guard against the sneak attack of the Shura Palace, and you are already physically and mentally exhausted.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the Shura Temple, they naturally had to cultivate enough spirit to deal with it.
By this time, all the people of the Pantheist had rested.
On top of a boulder covered with soft animal skin, Gu Chen looked at the sky with his eyes open, and Murong Zijing lay quietly beside him.
"Husband, aren't you still sleeping?" As if sensing that Gu Chen was not asleep, Murong Zijing suddenly called softly.
"Hmm" Gu Chen replied lightly, then turned over to face Murong Zijing, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I can't sleep either. Murong Zijing buried her head in Gu Chen's shoulder socket and replied in a low voice.
Gu Chen took advantage of the situation to hug Murong Zijing, patted Murong Zijing's pink back, and said, "Tomorrow, everyone who should arrive is here, and I will definitely help you find out the truth when the time comes." ”
"If it is..."Murong Zijing wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking.
"Alas!" Murong Zijing sighed lightly, "If the murderer is really a person from the Shura Palace, it will be easy to do, the Daomen is determined to fight the Shura Hall this time, and then we only need to stand on the side of the Daomen to find a chance to take revenge." But, what if the murderer is Xiao Moyan?"
The problem that Murong Zijing said was exactly what Gu Chen was worried about, and he was thinking of countermeasures just now.
If this matter is clarified tomorrow, once the real culprit is identified, no matter who the murderer is, the Pantheistic Sect must make a choice.
The Daomen is strong, if the murderer is a person from the Shura Temple, then the Pantheistic Sect can naturally stand on the side of the Daomen in the name of the Heroic Order and find an opportunity to take revenge.
But if it is really as Murong Zijing guessed before, it is Xiao Moyan...
Does the Pantheistic Sect want to side with the Shura Palace? After all, the Pantheistic Sect does not have the strength to deal with the Lingxiao Sword Sect alone.
If you choose to stand on the side of the Shura Temple, the Pantheistic Sect will inevitably completely turn against the Daomen, and it will also make the Pantheistic Sect fall into the title of a demon and a crooked way, becoming a public enemy of the world.
Of course, it is also possible that the Lingxiao Sword Sect did not shield the murderer for the sake of face...
That's the best way to go.
...
"There will always be a way, Zijing, don't think about it, sleep!" Gu Chen comforted Murong Zijing.
"Hmm" Murong Zijing replied lightly, not continuing to dwell on this issue, but there was some self-blame in his heart.
This matter had nothing to do with Gu Chen, nor did it have anything to do with the Pantheistic Sect, but because of her, Gu Chen and the Pantheistic Sect were involved, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger.
——————————
A hundred miles away from the valley where the Pantheists are located.
A bare mountain sits here.
The mountain is hundreds of feet high, tall and majestic.
The surrounding area was covered with a thick gray-black fog, making it look hazy and invisible.
Colorful runes float around the mountain, and although they look magnificent, they hide murderous intentions.
If a formation expert is here, he will be able to see the clues at a glance, and those runes are the triggers of some kind of large array.
Once touched, the hidden formation will be opened and attacked by the formation.
I saw that there was a road at the foot of the mountain that led to the top of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, although there are only four black-robed people guarding here on the surface, the cold light emitted by the blades can be faintly heard in the dark, and it can be known that the guards here are absolutely extremely strict.
Next to the four black-robed men was a boulder two people high.
I saw three big scarlet characters engraved on the ghostly construction site: Shura Palace.
At the top of the hill, a huge palace sits here.
Magnificent and domineering, simple and majestic, just like a famous style.
And there is no eerie atmosphere of the outside world at all.
Not to mention that the Shura Hall is a hell on earth, a symbol of sin, and a place where evil demons gather to hide filth and dirt.
At this time, there was still light in one of the main halls in the middle of the palace.
The layout of the main hall here and the Pantheistic Council Hall is not far apart.
A row of obsidian chairs on the left and right sides.
There is a throne made of "Emperor Stone" on the top, which is extremely luxurious, you must know that this is a precious material that can be used to refine high-grade spiritual weapons and top-grade spiritual weapons.
There were two people in the temple at this time.
On the throne sat a middle-aged man wearing a black brocade robe and a shawl with long hair, who was none other than Tuoba Qianfeng, one of the "Sword Emperors" of the Four Saints today.
On the first seat on the left side below is also an old man in a crimson robe, who is the "Purgatory Venerable" who appeared at the Tian Yuan Festival.
"Purgatory, have you clarified the matter?" Tuoba Qianfeng closed his eyes slightly and asked lightly.
"Lord of the Qi Palace, after careful inspection, the old man found that more than forty years ago, my Shura Hall did send shadows to spread all over Kyushu. But later, due to some changes, their contact was cut off, and they lost their news like a stone in the sea. Then my Shura Hall is full of momentum, and there is no need to play those small tricks in the dark, so the matter of the secret son is over. ”
"As for it, there is no way to know whether the two people in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion were the original shadows, besides, even if they were, we have not been in contact with them for a long time, how could we give them the order to assassinate Li Wuchen?
Tuoba Qianfeng's eyes slowly opened, and his essence was suddenly revealed.
Although his face was expressionless, he could feel the anger burning in his heart from his knife-like gaze.
Tuoba Qianfeng asked in a cold tone, "At the beginning, who was the person in charge of the shadows?"
The Purgatory Venerable looked strange and said, "Yes... He has been crazy for more than thirty years, so he shouldn't be able to make trouble!"
Tuoba Qianfeng was silent for a while when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something.
"What about the ghost sword, did Murong Tianfeng kill him?" Tuoba Qianfeng asked again with an expressionless face.
"It's... I'm not sure either..."
"Hmm, are you kidding this seat?" Tuoba Qianfeng raised his eyebrows, his knife-like gaze staring at the Purgatory Venerable.
The Purgatory Venerable suddenly sweated like rain, and said tremblingly, "My subordinates will never dare! I have asked him, but he said that he was in retreat at the time, and then he was suddenly knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, his sword seemed to have been moved... Isn't this nonsense that this hall was knocked out by a master of the Holy Realm? Therefore, the old man felt that this matter was suspicious, but there was no evidence, so he didn't dare to draw conclusions for a while. ”
"Hmph, shameful thing!" Tuoba Qianfeng snorted coldly and scolded angrily.
Listening to what he meant, it seemed that he believed the nonsense of the Ghost Sword Venerable, which made the Purgatory Venerable dumbfounded.
"Also!Where did the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill in Chi Li's hand come from?" Tuoba Qianfeng asked in a low voice, gradually becoming angry, and now he could not restrain himself, and he could no longer stop his heart.
"Genus... My subordinates don't know..."The Purgatory Venerable replied with a scalp.
"Rubbish!" Tuoba Qianfeng shouted angrily.
"Get out!"
When the Purgatory Venerable heard this, he immediately retreated in a daze.
Tuoba Qianfeng sat alone in the hall, his face cloudy.
Over the years, he has gradually delegated power to the affairs of the Shura Temple, but he didn't expect this to happen.
Is this incident a conspiracy of the Daomen or an inner ghost in the Shura Temple?
Who is the main messenger behind those two people in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion?
Who was responsible for Murong Tianfeng's death?
Where did the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill in Chi Li's hands come from?
These things seem to be unrelated, but if you think about it carefully, they are all coming for the Shura Temple.
The spy of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was the fuse of this incident, and the death of Murong Tianfeng gave a barrel of oil to this fire, and the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill in Chi Li's hands caused the Shura Hall and the Pantheistic Sect to have a dislike, leaving the Shura Hall isolated.
