Meanwhile.

Qianzhou Palace.

Inside the Imperial Study.

A man in a golden dragon robe lay leisurely on the chaise longue behind the mahogany desk, his eyes slightly closed, quietly listening to the narration of the person in front of him.

This man in the dragon robe who looks very leisurely is the current emperor of the Great Wei, Zhao Yong.

A few steps ahead of him stood two men in gray robes.

These two people are the two extremely mysterious gray-robed people on Luoyan Mountain before.

At this moment, the hood on their heads and the gray cloth on their faces had been removed, and the faces that had been hidden under the gray cloth were suddenly revealed.

Although these two people are also black-haired and yellow-skinned, in terms of appearance, they are significantly different from the Han people in the four eastern countries-

The two have slightly curly hair, sharp eyes, deep eye sockets, and high nose bridges, just like people from the Western Regions.

If Li Xuanyi was present at this time, he would probably react quickly, and these two people should be the masters of the Western Regions in Ding Zhilan's mouth.

Soon, the two of them finished telling the process of Jinyiwei's extermination of the Yin Demon Sect.

After listening to the two of them, Zhao Yong opened his slightly closed eyes, cleared his throat, and said lightly:

"Very good, this group of beasts of the Yin Sha Sect should have died a long time ago, and continuing to keep them will only harm my big thing!"

"It's just that I didn't expect that Wan Qiyang actually secretly learned the Heavenly Demon Blood Sacrifice, and also secretly hid a musket!"

After a pause, he sat up, changed his words, and continued:

"However, the Li Xuanyi you just mentioned is somewhat interesting."

"I didn't expect that in my Great Wei folk, there is such a young master hidden."

After speaking, he moved his somewhat stiff neck, his lazy and idle eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and the whole person suddenly exuded an invisible coercion.

Immediately after, he stared at the two people in front of him and asked in a cold tone:

"In your opinion, how does his cultivation compare to yours?"

Feeling Zhao Yong's eagle-like sharp gaze, the two gray-robed people both felt a little chilly.

The two looked at each other, and then one of them froze, and replied with some uncertainty:

"Lord, in my opinion, this Li Xuanyi's cultivation should not be under me."

According to the habits of this world, the relationship between the emperor and the imperial master is not so much a monarch and a minister, but a lord and a guest.

Therefore, these royal masters often do not call their own emperor His Majesty, but call him the lord prince.

In the face of these royal masters, the emperor will also appropriately lower his posture, and call himself "I" instead of "I" in his words, in order to show respect for them.

Hearing this, Zhao Yong raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised:

"Cultivation is not under you?"

"Is that true?"

The gray-robed man who had just spoken hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, and replied affirmatively:

"That's true."

"It's just that because the distance is a little too far, I can only judge that his cultivation is definitely not below me, but I can't judge what kind of realm his cultivation is."

Hearing the words of the gray-robed man, Zhao Yong couldn't help but think thoughtfully:

"Your cultivation is an eighth-order mid-grade, so to speak, this Li Xuanyi's cultivation is at least above the eighth-order mid-grade."

"I didn't expect him to have such a cultivation ...... so young."

However, he did not continue, but waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said:

"In any case, I will be relieved that this trip can successfully exterminate the Yin Demon Sect."

"As for this Li Xuanyi, it's not that important."

"The two of you have been non-stop all the way, and they must have been very tired, so hurry up and go back to rest."

With that, he stood up and made a gesture of invitation to the two people in front of him.

Hearing this, the two gray-robed men were immediately relieved, and after standing in place and saluting, they turned and left.

After sending the two away, Zhao Yong moved his muscles and bones, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and then lay back on the recliner, his eyes slightly closed, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

It wasn't long before he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, staring in the direction of the door of the imperial study.

After a few breaths, he exhaled, his sharp eyes suddenly softened, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, and he lay back in his chair.

It didn't take long for a man dressed in black to appear at the door.

This man in black is tall, with white temples, long hair and slightly curly eyes, and deep eye sockets.

Seeing the man come in, Zhao Yong stood up from the recliner, greeted him with a smile, and said:

"Elder Ling, are you here?"

The man, known as Ling Lao, also smiled, and replied as he walked inside:

"Yes, I heard that they have returned, so I came to ask about the situation of the Clearing Yin Demon Sect."

Walking to the desk, the man pulled a chair and sat down, and then said lightly:

"I just heard the two of them say, this Li Xuanyi is indeed a talent."

"Oh? Ling Lao, do you think so too? ”

Zhao Yong sat opposite this "Ling Lao" and asked noncommittally.

"Of course, this son is so young, he already has the cultivation of the eighth order middle grade, and over time, he will definitely be able to go to the next level."

"Such a gifted man, if we can take him under our command, we will definitely be able to strengthen our wings!"

"Elder Ling" looked at Zhao Yong in front of him with fiery eyes, and his tone was full of affirmation.

Hearing this, Zhao Yong couldn't help but have a hint of surprise on his face, he smiled faintly and said:

"I didn't expect you to give such a high evaluation to others, this is really rare."

"However, I think that although this Li Xuanyi's cultivation is high, after all, he is only at the level of the eighth and ninth orders, so if he is so casually included in his command, I am afraid it is not appropriate."

"Ling Lao" smiled slightly, obviously knowing his lord's character very well:

"It's okay, we can try to get in touch with him first and see what his talent really is, and then make a decision."

"After all, if you want to recruit a talent, I'm afraid it's not a matter of three or two sentences."

Hearing this, Zhao Yong took a sip of tea and responded noncommittally:

"It's no problem to get in touch, but I don't know what kind of attitude this Li Xuanyi will have."

"Moreover, we don't know what kind of person this Li Xuanyi is."

"We don't know people but we don't know their hearts, not to mention, we haven't even seen his face."

"Ling Lao" smiled faintly, obviously not thinking that this was a problem:

"This is easy to do, and then I will try to find an opportunity to contact him, and let you know if there is any progress."

Hearing "Ling Lao"'s answer, Zhao Yong smiled and was about to speak, but he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

A moment later, a little eunuch in an official uniform appeared respectfully at the door of the imperial study, bowed his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, the national teacher requests an audience!"
