Not long ago, in the lobby area of the Luk Fook Casino in Ping Hong Fong, nearly 1,000 people gathered around 50 or 60 large gaming tables, gambling in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark.

I don't know if it is to prevent people from cheating, although it is daytime, the lights in the hall are still very bright and bright. The dice swayed in the cup with a crisp sound that shook the sky, and with the shouting and coaxing of men and women, they clapped their hands.

At the end of the game, these gamblers who surrounded the gambling table were noisy and shocking, some shouted jubilantly, some sighed and regretted, and the state of all beings was fully revealed.

At this moment, in a noble hotel dozens of feet away from the main building and no one else disturbed it, the square room with a width of fifteen steps is spacious and comfortable, and the floor is full of mats.

A woman dressed plainly and beautifully, with her face hidden in a heavy veil, sat in a corner with a tall, thin, hard-nosed foreigner, and fell into an indescribable silence with each other.

The identity of the former is none other than Zhu Yuyan, the "Queen of Yin", who is ranked first among the "Eight Masters of the Demon Gate", the most outstanding sect master of the Yin Sect in the past dynasties; The latter is the "Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, who is known as the first master of Tiele, and is also a well-known grandmaster-level figure outside the plug.

Just a moment ago, Qu Ao saw Zhu Yuyan suddenly take out a yellow crystal as big as a fist, the translucent crystal seemed to be hard and soft, exuding a faint yellow light, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, guessing that this was probably the rumored "Holy Relic" of the Demon Gate.

Why did you unite with me and deliberately reveal the treasure when you already had the treasure? Suspecting that Zhu Yuyan had set up some conspiracy, he suddenly got up, accompanied by a cold snort, the aura around his body rose sharply, and he stared at the other party with a quiet and leisurely appearance.

Qu Ao's skin has a kind of swarthy skin that has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and he has a sheep's face, but the contours are clear, clear and powerful like a knife, and with a pair of sharp eyes like eagles and falcons, he does have a terrifying spirit that is not angry and self-threatening.

But in the face of his menacing state, Zhu Yuyan just had blue eyes flashing, and with a flick of the cuff, he easily endured it, and then said two paragraphs that were completely opposite to Qu Ao's conjecture:

"Teacher Qu's citrine is not a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in the 'Heavenly Evil Dao', but a fake made by our Yin Sect and used to confuse the real one, ready to play the role of a bait when competing for relics, so as to defeat the opponent one by one."

"The plan to lure the enemy based on the design of the fake relics naturally needs to be paved with some relevant fake news as a foreshadowing, and then, according to the results of the recent exploration, determine the next target to deal with, and discuss the details of using it to ambush the enemy next."

Her figure is graceful and slender, her hair is knotted and her hair is high, even if you can't see her true face, you can feel her compelling elegance. Just the way she sits has an inexhaustible feeling of viewing, and it is full of extremely subtle seduction.

"That's ......" Listening to Zhu Yuyan's explanation, Qu Ao's expression was first soothed for a while, and then he frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "When the time comes, which side will attract the enemy with fake relics, and which side will attack?" ”

I saw Zhu Yuyan smile slightly, looked up and glanced at the other party who was frightened just now, and gave people a nightmarish unreal feeling through the veiled gaze, and did not answer directly, but asked leisurely:

"Teacher Qu is rampant in the western frontier, and in the past years, he was almost as famous as 'Wuzun' Bi Xuan, and his methods are naturally much more clever than Yuyan, and in terms of luring the enemy to make a move, he still has to rely more on Teacher Qu's magic skills."

It sounded like she was praising Qu Ao's martial arts for being higher and admitting that his strength was inferior. But for the capricious people in the Demon Gate, this kind of situation of handing over their backs to others is undoubtedly much more dangerous, and it is tacitly allowed to do it by the lower status, and the higher status is kept away from the risk.

Suddenly, Qu Ao's face was as cold as ice, and he felt that he was being seen through, and his heart was full of jealousy, and then he smiled bitterly like a deflated ball, nodded helplessly, and acquiesced to this assignment.

On a stormy night six years ago, Qu Ao was at the peak of his life, and was defeated in a secret decisive battle with Bi Xuan.

Qu Ao's defeat also made him turn to the Central Plains, and sent his son to infiltrate the Han soil, taking advantage of the corruption of the Sui government to impersonate the Han Chinese, with the help of the Yin Sect, the establishment of the rampant southern Iron Cavalry Society, but ended up with the death of his son and the disintegration of the Iron Cavalry Society, and the invasion plan failed.

However, as for Qu Ao's current strength, because his battle with Bi Xuan has not been circulated outside, few people really know about it, and he is usually still regarded as the top figure among the grandmasters, and it is hard to imagine that he has actually fallen to the point of being almost vulnerable.

In the matter of Yang Gong's treasure house and the relics of the evil emperor, he cooperated with the Yin Sect, in addition to obtaining money and jewels to please King Tiele, Qu Ao himself also had a faint hope, imagining that if the legendary demon relics could fall into his hands, it could not be ruled out that he would reinvigorate his spiritual will and greatly increase his skills, so as to defeat Bi Xuan.

Obviously, through the temptation of suddenly taking out a fake relic, Zhu Yuyan sensed that Qu Ao was completely unworthy of his name, even if he added the eighteen "Iron Arrow Guards" and his three apprentices under the Tiele Throne who came this time, they were far from the strength of the Yin Sect.

And with Qu Ao, a rumored character with profound martial arts, as a target, she can join forces with Bi Shouxuan, Wan Wan and others to design down those who try to seize the treasure, and even have the opportunity to inflict deadly revenge on the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan.

In addition, due to the embarrassment of the Tiele people, Zhao Deyan, Yun Shuai and other masters of the Eastern and Western Turks, if they can be contacted, it is not impossible to cooperate.

"First of all, the four apprentices of Xiang Yutian, who have also obtained the method of sensing relics, should come to Daxing City, and if they can't control it, they must try their best to get rid of ......."

"Senior Brother Wei in Yang Guang Palace, I need to let him cooperate when the time comes...... The mysterious person who found someone to pass on the secret letter to me should pay special attention to him, and I can try to win over ......"

……

Just as Zhu Yuyan was imagining that she would soon obtain the true "Holy Relic" and make Shi Zhixuan pay for what happened back then, a sharp pain suddenly appeared in her chest like a sledgehammer blow, and then she felt a creepy feeling.

In the next moment, a large window in the VIP hall that was beautifully carved and facing them suddenly exploded, turning into tens of thousands of sawdust containing energy, and accompanied by a shockwave like a stormy wave, heading towards Zhu Yuyan and Qu Ao.

In an instant, the elegantly decorated wooden tables, wooden chairs, tables, lampstands, etc., in the house were immediately destroyed, like tissue paper without substance and weight, and disintegrated under the devastation of the force, and the wind swept away the fallen leaves and threw them on the four walls, and suddenly, the hall became empty, and only one thing was broken.

Faced with a sudden attack, Zhu Yuyan, who suspected when she was poisoned, did not show any fear, but her eyes were bright.

I saw her figure swaying slightly, and rushed to Qu Ao's body, and a pair of Luo sleeves swelled upwards in an instant, wanting to resist it with a condensed heavenly magic force field, and prepared to immediately call the nearby members of the Yin Sect and the Tiele people, who were bound to leave the enemy outside the house who had a high probability of eavesdropping on their secrets.

At the moment when the VIP hall was attacked, eighteen restrained and calm Tiele masters, each with a bow and arrows, and eighteen powerful arrows shot towards the direction where the suspected enemy was lurking like lightning, easily tearing apart the grass and trees along the way, but did not hit any living creatures.

Qu Ao's other two apprentices, Hua Lingzi and Geng Ge Hu'er, the two elders of the Yin Sect Yun and Xia, a cadre of ordinary disciples, and some of the Xiang family's good hands who stayed nearby, all rushed over when they heard the sound, but they all felt a stuffy pain in their chests inexplicably, and their breath became chaotic.

Before the group of people could find out what was going on, suddenly, the entire area above the Luofook Gambling House seemed to collapse, and the heaven and earth, which was still some time away from evening, became dim in the person's mental sense.

Zhu Yuyan, who joined forces with Qu Ao to barely resist the impact, got up from the half-destroyed VIP hall in embarrassment, looked up at the sky that gave her a sense of great threat and seemed to be nothing, and then saw the most shocking scene in her life.

In the deep blue sky, countless swirling air currents collapsed inward, turning into a black dragon that was connected to the sky and the earth, with an unknown length of many feet and distinct scales and claws, and roared towards the area where his people were.

Including the remnants of the VIP room, many of the attics and their attached courtyards within a radius of 100 feet seemed to be torn apart by invisible claws, and in an instant, all the beams and pillars were broken, turning into countless pieces of wood and wood chips, completely collapsing, trying to bury everything in them.

At this moment, Zhu Yuyan realized that compared to the official attack launched now, the powerful attack that she couldn't cope with just now was just a beacon used to explore the way, which could attract more people to concentrate here, so as to catch them all;

Truly facing this infinite despair, like the mighty impact of the sky, Zhu Yuyan's expression overflowed with a sad smile, her eyes shot a strange light, and her pupils were violet, and she launched the method of "jade burning" that she created only to die with Shi Zhixuan.

In a very short period of time, the Heavenly Demon Strength Field that was surging around her quickly narrowed and contracted, and in an instant, it seemed to be converging on a small point, and the suction power generated increased exponentially, reaching the point where it was enough to threaten the life of a great grandmaster-level master, and the scope of influence also expanded to an extremely astonishing extent.

Knowing that it was impossible to survive such an earth-shattering attack, Zhu Yuyan made a decision in an instant, trying to use the suction power of her Heavenly Demon Skill to make the blows falling from high in the sky converge to the center, reducing the scope of its influence, and gaining a glimmer of life for the disciples in the outer circle of the Yin Sect.

At the last moment of her life, her consciousness seemed to return to the former sentimental girl, Shi Zhixuan, Yue Shan, and Lu Miaozi flashed in her heart, and sighed softly: "Can the love between men and women really be a kind of enjoyment?" ”

But before he could enter the stage of "Jade Burning" and finally shattering itself, the irresistible majestic wave of qi had already rushed down, tearing Zhu Yuyan, who had attracted the most firepower, apart in an instant, turning into pure blood mist, and spreading in all directions.

As for the other Grandmaster Master Qu Ao, he still hadn't recovered from the attack that had been blocked by Zhu Yuyan with most of his power just now, and as soon as he came into contact with the qi front of the jet that poured down, his whole body shook violently, and his eyes showed an unbelievable look of horror;

He didn't even finish the route of forcibly urging the "Flying Eagle Thirteen Styles", his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all overflowing with blood, his meridians were broken, and he was dead in an instant, and was crushed into a pile of broken bones and flesh that melted into the ruins by the shock wave.

With the regret that he could no longer take revenge on Bi Xuan, his wreckage mixed with the other people's large swaths of trembling and tumbling dirt around him, and pressed into a huge pit on the ground that was dozens of zhang in diameter and about half a zhang deep.

As the huge black dragon gradually burrowed into the ground from the sky, a series of violent explosions set off a ferocious wave of qi, most of the Daxing City seemed to tremble, and a mushroom-like cloud rose up, and the whole city could be clearly seen.

……

"Wan Wan, Bai Qing'er, Bi Shouxuan, and Danmei are not in the base, are they going to carry out the tasks of the Yin Sect?"

In the abbot's room of Wuxian Temple, Zhao Qing sensed the information coming from afar, while disassembling the wire bow that had just been made, casually designing a small trap, and putting it back in the place where it originally served as a latch.

The strength of the "bloody hand" is known as ever-changing, and can be shaped into various shapes, but after all, it has a limit to its range of control, and it generally stops at the level of one or two zhang in size.

However, with more subtle control, she was able to release dark energy at the end, without altering the total amount, trying to construct a huge layer of dark energy with flakes and silk threads using the flying ice arrow as a frame.

This lifelike black dragon is Zhao Qing's fusion of special spiritual powers, with dozens of arrows containing light and dark qi detonated in advance at the end of the flight, and the fusion of various energies combined to form a vision, which can be said to be far beyond the limit of the "bloody hand" change;

For her, the bow and arrow are just a tool to carry and transport the output of sexual energy, far less than the status of the sword as a weapon for her own use.

Although it is a covered fire strike, it is not impossible to add some guidance methods to mark the people in the demon gate.

Generally speaking, in order to be ruthless, the people in the demon gate do everything possible to prevent themselves from being emotionally affectionate towards anyone, even if they want to have children, they also pick up the combination of the person they hate the most.

But in fact, this way of not controlling the fundamental desires is on the wrong path, entangled with the acquired mundane desires, and is far from reaching the innate realm of separation of lust, desire and desirelessness, and affection and ruthlessness.

Including the Tiele evil people, the desire of this group of people is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the spirit and spirit that have been enhanced by the practice of martial arts are multiplied, far exceeding the vast majority of gamblers in the casino, thus giving Zhao Qing's arrows the effect of locking on to the target.

First, let the first arrow arrive in the target area in front of the large team, so that its main inner spiritual power is released and spread, and by stimulating the intensity of the lust of the characters in the range, it can further locate the suspected person in the demon gate, try to avoid accidental injury, and then officially detonate all the damage.

As for why a black dragon was created, it originated from the fact that the black dragon belonged to water, and the Sui Dynasty belonged to the fire virtue, using water to overcome fire, indicating the inevitability of the fall of the Sui court, and at the same time announcing the birth of a person who had inherited the mandate of heaven, giving most people a sense of ritual.

All in all, Zhao Qing wiped out more than ninety percent of the demonic evil people in the Liufu Casino, and without waiting for much work, several groups of people she sent to Daxing entered the casino and began the preparatory clean-up and finishing work.

Wan Wan, who has just debuted, has probably not done anything evil, and judging from the original work, her nature should be good, she is talented, and she is talented, and she later became a reformer in the Demon Gate, and she has made a good contribution on the whole.

She was not under the covering blow, and it was a blessing that she was spared, and she could try to guide her in the future and serve as the leader of the "new demon gate" after eliminating the scum and removing the chaff.

As for Zhu Yuyan, although her life experience does have some tragedy, she has experienced Shi Zhixuan's deception and pit by using her feelings, but colluding with foreign Hu people has also done a lot of evil, and there is no possibility of forgiveness.

Suddenly, Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, and he got up and looked in the direction of the Prancing Horse Bridge, sensing an extraordinary scene.

……

A few miles to the northwest, the Imperial Palace of Daxing City.

The imperial palace of the Sui Dynasty was built by Yang Jian in the second year of the emperor, and was completed in the third year of the emperor, presided over by the architect Yu Wenkai, located in the north of the imperial city, and has three components, the middle is the Daxing Palace, the Yeting Palace is in the west, and the East Palace is in the east.

Therefore, the palace city takes Daxing Palace as the main body, and the main gate halls of the two districts of the court and sleep, Chengtianmen, Taixing Gate, Daxing Palace, Liangyi Gate, Liangyi Palace, Ganlu Gate, Ganlu Palace, etc., overlap with each other in the north and south, and the magnificent palaces form the central axis of the whole palace together.

Wannian County, where the new capital is located, was renamed Daxing County, the new forbidden garden was named Daxing Yuan, and there was a temple in the city named Daxingshan Temple. In this way, "Daxing" is used everywhere to name, in addition to its commemorative significance, probably Emperor Wen of Sui also hopes to use this to represent the eternal prosperity of Sui Yun.

Recently, due to the internal and external troubles of the Sui Dynasty, and a large number of people from the rivers and lakes entered Beijing for some reason, the guards of the Daxing Palace have been significantly strengthened, and the guards are heavily guarded, full of tension in the mountains and rains, and the deterrent space is also intimidating.

Not long ago, with the sound of drums, under the opening of the road by the palace supervisor, Yang Guang accompanied the hundred concubines, Shanshan came to the core of the palace, Daxing Palace, he and Concubine Xiao and Concubine Zhu sat in a soft sedan chair, carried by the wrestler, and even the foot strength was saved.

Everyone knelt on the ground and greeted the holy car of the faint king.

The sun was shining through the west window, and it was peaceful. On the white stone steps in the hall, there is a carved dragon inlaid with gold and silver reclining chairs, Yang Guang is half-lying on it, and all the concubines sit around him, and everyone shouts long live.

Under the light of the palace lamp, Yang Guang's face was very ugly, pale like a dead man, he seemed to be only about fifty years old, his arms were high, although he was wearing a bright nine-dragon robe, and the top of his head was high, but it gave people a decadent feeling of wearing a shroud.

Since returning from Yanmen Pass, Yang Guang's mood has been extremely unstable, even if he is very happy with his words and laughter, he can't be stimulated at all, and the people below can't listen to his ears, and he will be scolded with a cane at least and beheaded at worst.

It is precisely for this reason that the two most popular people around him at present are Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, and Fei Yun, the master of the imperial history, two traitorous villains.

Even the information related to the danger of the imperial court is not reported, such as the recent matters related to the rivers and lakes, such as the new news of Yang Gong's treasure house, as long as it does not involve the power struggle of several major traitor groups, it will not let Yang Guang know.

"Recently, I heard a report that due to the turmoil in the south, the Eastern Turks took the opportunity to advance in a big way, and even Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, the two guards, rebelled. Is this true? ”

I saw a middle-aged official who was handsome and handsome, and was between thirty-two and three, unhurried, and bowed down and replied: "Holy Mingjian, since the siege of Yanmen was lifted, the Turks have already retreated and left, and they have consumed a lot of money back and forth, how can they have the spare strength to invade my Great Sui Frontier again?" ”

This person is Yu Shiji, one of Yang Guang's most favored courtiers, taking advantage of the other party's refusal to face the reality after repeated defeats, he deceived and concealed his superiors and subordinates everywhere, just to make money and get promoted.

Yang Guang nodded, as if he was still a little suspicious, and set his eyes on another short and fat favored minister, Yu Shi Dafu Feiyun, not far away, and changed the question: "Fei Qing's family, is the thief who destroyed the Jiangdu Palace a few days ago now under control?" ”

Fei Yun, who has thin eyes and a wide face and a rosacea nose, said nonsense: "It's almost controlled." Now there are often people outside who deliberately spread rumors and make trouble, and when Weichen investigates clearly, he will report to the saint. ”

Yang Guang did not continue to speak, but beckoned to the palace maid on the side, and immediately several people came over to serve him and feed the melons and fruits, as if he didn't want to ask the ministers any more questions, but he didn't bother to give the order to let them leave, just lying on the dragon chair to enjoy.

And also in the Daxing Palace, Shi Zhixuan, who incarnated as Pei Ju, watched this ridiculous scene coldly, and saw that Yang Guang's level of directors was getting lower and lower, in addition to the influence of traitorous ministers, there were also chronic poisons and some hidden hidden injuries, and he thought about it in his heart.

The Turks, as a nomadic regime, spoke of the strong as the king, and due to the dispersion, mobility and instability of the economy, the struggle for power and profit never stopped, and it was divided into two khanates, the east and the west, in the early Sui Dynasty.

The current Great Khan of the Eastern Turks is the beginning of the end, the southern expedition to the north, from the Khitan and Murwei in the east, to Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west, all of which are subordinate to the Eastern Turks, and Bi Xuan, one of the three great masters in the world, is the spiritual leader of the Eastern Turks;

The current Great Khan of the Western Turks is the commander of the Yehu, based in the Ili River Valley, occupying the entire land west of the Altai Mountains, and has a martial arts master from Persia Yun Shuai, who is also a rare top master.

Not long ago, it seemed that they got the news that the Sui court was unable to control the south, and Liang Shidu and Liu Wu, who were originally Sui generals, took advantage of the Turkic situation to raise troops against the Sui. Among them, Master Liang was sincere and worshiped under the "Wuzun" Bi Xuanmen and became his disciple.

Based on the current situation, he originally planned to overthrow the Sui Dynasty first, and then use the body to "rebirth", and restore the Demon Gate to control the new "Great Sui", but he had to make a lot of changes.

It is better to squeeze out Yang Guang's remaining value at once and spend it entirely in a direction that is beneficial to himself, such as the "holy relics" that may appear in the near future.

For Shi Zhixuan, he originally planned to return to his hometown as "Pei Ju" immediately after the Yanmen Pass incident, and then mobilize An Long, Yang Xuyan and other subordinates to connect with several forces such as Li Valve and Wagang who are expected to compete for the world, so as to facilitate subsequent development;

However, Zhao Qing, who appeared inexplicably, united with Song Valve and other forces, swept away a large number of enemies at an unimaginable speed, and had the tendency to unify the south in a short period of time, and it was difficult to insert key manpower into them.

Considering the strength that Sui Ting can use to resist, assuming that the strength of the other party has really reached the realm of almost immortals, then I am afraid that even the north will not be able to hold out for long, and it can be said that it has cut off the path he expected.

Perhaps retreating to the Western Regions and repeating the vertical and horizontal strategy can have a slight possibility of pushing back the Central Plains. But after so many years of careful planning, did you just give up?

Speaking of which, in addition to the bad news caused by this Zhao Qing recently, he also seems to have new problems mentally, often having some weird dreams for no reason, and faintly has a tendency to split into a third personality;

But for some reason, when creating the "Seven Illusions of Immortality" that he has learned in his life, he has broken the stagnation of many years and made new progress, why is this? If you let go of your political ideas, you will improve in martial arts?

Waiting for Fei Yun, Yu Shiji and the others to leave the Daxing Hall first, Shi Zhixuan thought secretly in his heart, and suddenly felt an obvious vibration coming from the soles of his feet, followed by a huge explosion.

And with the shaking of the whole Daxing Palace, the dust accumulated for many years on the beams in the hall was sprinkled down, and some fell on the melon slices that Yang Guangzheng was eating, which made him furious, and ordered the palace maid who handed the melon fruit to be dragged out and executed immediately.

……

After the release, it was added a lot, adding 6.5k words

Shortness of breath and fatigue, possibly two days a week
