Chapter 153: The Queen's Reward (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
Late at night.
East Plant.
Hmmm-
Li Xuan was dressed in black, and he had already changed his appearance, his body turned into afterimages, passing the patrolling Dongchang factory guards, and quickly approached the data warehouse.
The internal qi in his body is as strong as a mountain, but his body is extremely light, and after running "Tiangang Seven Star Steps", he is like a feather, stepping on the ground silently.
With his current body and breathing technique, even a powerhouse in the Grandmaster Realm may not be able to sense him!
This is also one of the reasons why he dared to come to the East Factory at night.
Not much.
Li Xuan stopped behind an ancient tree outside the data storeroom.
The mana in his body was working, and his eyes were covered with a faint golden glow.
It is the eye of breaking the law.
These special eyes are not only able to see through any magic circle and forbidden flaws.
After operation, in the dark night, you can see anything 100 meters away.
In a flash.
Li Xuan's vision completely changed, and those hazy scenes instantly became clear.
Even on the building, some subtle lines are delicate in his eyes.
It's like opening a perspective hanging.
'Outside the data storehouse, there is indeed a ban on the magic circle, I don't know if the jade plate given to me by the queen can block this prohibition. β
Li Xuan's eyes looked at the door of the data warehouse in the distance.
On the gate, there were beams of light that were invisible to the naked eye, similar to lasers, sweeping in all directions.
I'm afraid that once someone enters it, this prohibition will be activated!
However, this prohibition is not too high-end.
The Eye of Breaking Law saw through the loopholes at a glance!
If you want to get close to the door quietly, you have to solve a few secret sentries nearby! β
Li Xuan came to Dongchang during this time, and he had already figured out where the secret whistle might be hiding, and immediately directly ran the "Burning Lamp Method", summoned the ancient Buddha of the burning lamp, and floated into the sky.
He knew that there was a secret post on the left and right sides of the storeroom and on the roof directly opposite.
The data storehouse is stared at in all directions without dead ends.
Anyone who wants to enter the treasury can't hide from the eyes of these dark whistles.
If you want to infiltrate the repository without a sound, you must first solve these secret posts.
Otherwise, no matter how flexible the body is, it is impossible to solve the three secret sentinels hiding in the shadows at the same time in one go.
When the time comes, it will inevitably be exposed.
Fortunately, Li Xuan has now cultivated to the possession realm, and with his powerful divine soul, he can directly stun the dark whistle.
This is also a great advantage of Fa cultivation.
It's easy to dive anywhere.
Therefore, ordinary forces rarely offend the Dharma cultivators above the possession realm.
The Dharma cultivation of this realm, the revenge is quite terrifying, and it is simply impossible to guard against.
Not much.
Li Xuan controlled the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha and came to the roof in front of the database.
However, the next moment.
His pupils shrank.
The dark whistle on the roof, at some point, was twisted and broken, and he died completely.
'What's going on?' Someone got ahead of me and solved the dark whistle?! Li Xuan's eyebrows furrowed.
He moved, and soon floated to the roofs on the left and right sides to take a look.
It was found that the dark whistles on both sides of the roof had also been resolved, and the same was true for the deaths, both of which were broken necks, apparently by the same person.
The corpse still had some warmth, and it hadn't been long since it died. Li Xuan's eyes condensed slightly.
His gaze looked at the database not far away.
Could it be that the person who killed the dark sentinel is also here for the information inside?!
Who did it?!
Li Xuan looked at the injuries of these eunuchs, it seemed that they were not killed with Taoism, but directly by force.
It's just, how is this possible?!
Li Xuan thinks that his "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" is already the top in the world.
With the majestic internal qi, even the grandmaster may not have discovered it.
Rao is like this, and it is impossible to kill three dark sentinels at the same time by force alone.
Because these three secret sentinels are horns of each other, if one of them dies, the other two will definitely be able to find out, so that they will not be defenseless at all.
However.
In the current situation, these three secret sentinels were really killed by force without defense.
This made Li Xuan feel a little unbelievable.
'The guy who killed the sentry must still be in the vault, but I want to see who the sacredness is. β
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not enter the warehouse for the first time, but waited patiently outside.
Since this person knows the location of the secret whistle, he is obviously like himself, and he stepped on it in advance and came prepared.
Obviously, it's not going to stay in the repository for long.
Sure enough.
Li Xuan just waited for a few minutes.
Squeak β
The door of the data storeroom was quietly opened.
The prohibition of the magic circle outside, swept on this person's body, was directly distorted, and it had no effect at all.
Obviously.
This person also had props on him that were forbidden by the shielding circle.
The person I saw was about 1.6 meters tall, not too tall, and his body was thin, like a bamboo pole.
Behind him, he was carrying a small box, which was supposed to contain the documents he had stolen from the data storeroom.
Just as Li Xuan's eyes were fixed on him.
He actually noticed something and looked towards the roof where Li Xuan was.
The next moment.
His figure turned into a black shadow, completely blended into the night, and disappeared completely.
"Huh?!"
Li Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
What kind of body is this?!
You can completely melt yourself into the darkness!
No wonder this guy was able to kill the three dark sentinels quietly.
This method is really weird.
Li Xuan naturally couldn't let this person slip away like this.
His mind moved, and he returned to his senses in an instant, and then the Eye of Breaking Law looked in the direction in which the figure had disappeared.
The next moment.
He saw a dim black mist, and left the database at a very fast speed, rushing towards the gate of the East Factory.
"Want to run?!"
Li Xuan's footsteps moved, running the "Tiangang Seven Star Steps", and quickly chased after the black shadow.
The shadow was extremely fast, as if it were teleporting.
But.
After Li Xuan ran "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" at full strength, the speed was even faster.
A moment later.
Li Xuan was in the school yard and chased this black shadow.
"You're looking for death!"
Seeing Li Xuan chasing after this black shadow, his pupils shrank slightly.
Obviously, he didn't expect Li Xuan to not only be able to discover him, but also to be so fast.
However, the color of surprise quickly turned into a thick killing intent.
He held a pitch-black dagger in his hand, and his body was like a ghost, and he stabbed at Li Xuan.
In a flash.
The sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls resounded, making Li Xuan fall into hell.
It was as if his feet were being dragged by thousands of ghosts, and his movements were involuntarily a little slower.
"Carving insect skills, you also want to mess with my mind?!"
Li Xuan instantly visualized the "Burning Lamp Method", and a blazing circle of light emerged from behind, instantly removing this power that affected his mind.
Meantime.
He ran the Tiangang Seven Star Steps, and his body turned into an afterimage, dodging the attack of this figure.
There are hardly any stops.
A black and white flame appeared in his hand, it was the true fire of the Yin and Yang Mixed Hole, and it slammed towards the black shadow.
Laugh at!
The black shadow was caught off guard, and was directly scorched by the true fire of the Yin and Yang Mixed Hole, and the flames on his body instantly ignited.
He screamed strangely, and the thick black mist surged, actually extinguishing the true fire of this yin and yang mixed hole.
But.
At this moment, he seemed to have lost his disguise, and his figure came out of the darkness and appeared not far from Li Xuan.
"Yin and Yang Mixed Hole is really hot, you are not from Dongchang, who are you?!" The black shadow squinted and looked at Li Xuan.
He was also dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed, shining like an eagle's eye.
"Who are you, and why did you steal the papers? Leave something behind and I can let you go. Li Xuan said.
He was worried that what the shadow had stolen was the same as the action document he was about to steal.
So, this box must be left behind.
lest your own bamboo basket be empty.
Even if it wasn't something he wanted, if he could let this black shadow take such a big risk to steal it, the documents inside would be extremely important.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me, if you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
The black shadow snorted coldly, and its body turned into a ghostly figure again.
This figure, like a shadow, was constantly twisted on the ground, and then it was actually divided into nine paths, attacking Li Xuan from all directions.
Each figure is holding a dagger and making a sound like a ghost crying wolf, which can greatly affect people's minds.
Each of these nine figures is so real that it is impossible to distinguish which one is real and which one is fake.
Seeing that these nine figures, like a lotus flower closing, completely surrounded Li Xuan, they were about to kill Li Xuan with one sword.
Zheng!
The sound of a dragon's sword roaring suddenly rang out.
In the dark night, the sword light turned into thunder and disappeared in a flash!
Followed by.
The overlapping blade shadows were like a big windmill composed of countless blades, blocking the water around Li Xuan!
Sonorous!
The sound of gold and iron echoed.
The ground exploded, and cracks appeared.
The violent wind blew all the weapons placed in the school field directly to the sky!
Boom!
The black shadow that stabbed over couldn't withstand the power of the Dragon Groaning Purgatory at all, and with a muffled snort, its body flew out upside down.
Li Xuan didn't give him any respite at all.
Swish!
His body moved, stepped on the Tiangang Beidou, and instantly appeared in front of the black shadow.
The dragon's roar of a knife sounded again.
The thunderous sword light exploded, turning into overlapping sword shadows, slashing towards this black shadow!
"Ahh
The black shadow roared angrily, and the dagger in his hand actually emitted a thick black mist.
These black mist turned into real ghosts, wailing and forming a shield wall to resist the earth-shattering slash towards Li Xuan!
Snort!
These ghosts turned into black mist, under the blazing sword light, were annihilated in an instant!
Meantime.
The defensive shield formed on the black shadow was also directly slashed.
Boom!
The sword momentum was blocked by the black shadow's two defenses, and its power was greatly reduced, and it slashed at the black shadow, only pulling out a knife mark that was several inches deep.
The black shadow snorted, and its figure quickly regressed.
Li Xuan's eyes flashed, and he took this opportunity to raise his hand and grab the box behind the black shadow.
"You're damned." The black shadow's eyes were slightly red, staring at Li Xuan deadly.
He couldn't figure out why the person in front of him was so strong.
Such a fierce knife momentum is simply unavoidable!
If he hadn't blocked it in advance, I'm afraid he would have been cut in half by now!
"Hehe, I'll take the things, if you still want to fight, then I can only send you on the road!"
He waved his sleeves and slipped the box into the cave space.
Now that he has got what he wants, he naturally doesn't want to fight the black shadow anymore.
After all, this place is still in the East Factory.
Once the movement is too big, it will be difficult for him to get out.
The black shadow in front of him was obviously a grandmaster-level powerhouse, but he deliberately concealed his breath.
If you want to kill it, you have to work hard, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Just as the shadow was about to speak.
Whewβ
The two figures with strong blood seemed to hear the movement of the school field, and hurriedly rushed over from the east factory.
These are actually two grandmaster-level powerhouses!
It's obvious.
Dongchang did not take out all the eunuchs above the deacon, and left two criminal officers of the Grandmaster Realm in the base camp.
"Who dares to break into my East Factory?!"
One of the figures was extremely fast, and the qi and blood around his body turned into a venomous snake.
"Hmph, very good, you're lucky today, don't be caught by me!"
The black shadow knew that today's operation had been completely declared a failure, and took a deep look at Li Xuan, and his figure melted into the darkness again and disappeared without a trace.
Li Xuan looked at the two Sect Masters who rushed over and sighed:
"Today is just to visit, the East Factory is really majestic, good!"
Between words.
The long knife in his hand had already been slashed out, burning with the true fire of the Yin and Yang Mixed Hole, and attached to the blade.
Zheng Zheng Zheng!
In a flash.
The sword light was wrapped in blazing flames, one left and one right, and blasted towards the two Grandmasters who rushed over.
The sound of knives rang out, and the wind that set off instantly turned the flames into a sea of fire.
The two Grandmasters roared angrily, and the blood and qi all over their bodies surged out, taking Li Xuan's sword light and rushing out of the sea of fire!
However.
Where is there still a shadow of Li Xuan at this moment?!
β¦β¦
After Li Xuan slashed out, he directly ran the "Tiangang Seven Star Steps" and quickly left the East Factory.
Meantime.
He also took off the black clothes on his body, threw them into the cave space, and changed into a normal eunuch suit.
Secretly dodging the guards.
Li Xuan soon returned to his small courtyard of the cold palace.
He exhaled heavily, and washed it again with the water of the pool of life, so as not to be marked.
After doing all this.
Li Xuan took the box out of the cave space and opened it.
Inside is a copy of this instrument.
"This is the action document of the East Factory, and it took so many years of documents to come out, hey, the documents of the sixth year of Tianyuan and the twentieth year of Tianyuan are also in it...... Li Xuan looked happy.
He also thought that if there was no paperwork in this box, he would find a way to steal it from Dongchang again.
Now it seems that he has spared himself some effort.
I'd like to see what's so special about this East Factory's action document. β
Li Xuan quickly flipped through it.
Half an hour later.
He read all the action documents.
Most of them are records of the various cases handled by the East Factory, as well as the work of some officials.
There wasn't much of an anomaly.
However, after the sixth year of Tianyuan, Dongchang seems to have been active in Zhongzhou more times, more than a dozen times, and then in the twentieth year of Tianyuan, Dongchang also went to Yuanzhou, where Zhao Feilong, Marquis of Anyuan, was located, and in the twenty-first year of Tianyuan, Dongchang went to Dongzhou many times, and I don't know what to investigate. Li Xuan's eyebrows furrowed.
In addition, he also found an important clue in this document.
In the sixth year of Tianyuan.
Today's Emperor Qian, with Empress Xia, went to Xia's house together.
This is also the first time that Emperor Qiandi went on patrol after he ascended the throne.
Among the people who accompanied him, there were Wei Guogong, Li Xingchen, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Wang Qinghou, the Marquis of Huai'an...... These people related to Zhao Feilong, Marquis of An Yuan, all appeared at the same time this time!
'The emperor's sudden cultivation and Zhao Feilong's treason case must be related to this trip, what happened back then?! Li Xuan's brows furrowed even deeper.
He felt that he had vaguely touched a bit of truth.
There is only one line left to connect these clues!
"Look at this action document, Wei Jingzhong should know something, Empress Xia must also know the inside story, and the man in black tonight, what are these people investigating?!" β
Li Xuan thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't connect what happened in the sixth year of Tianyuan with the case of Zhao Feilong, Marquis of Anyuan, in the twentieth year of Tianyuan.
Among them, there is a lack of clues that can connect the two.
"Forget it, I'm done anyway, I'll hand over the paperwork to the queen tomorrow and wait and see what happens." β
Li Xuan didn't think much about it, and after washing up, he rested directly.
Following.
Li Xuan got up early, didn't even eat breakfast, and took the Dongchang action documents of the sixth year of Tianyuan and the twentieth year of Tianyuan to the Kunning Palace of the queen's mother.
Under the guidance of the little eunuch.
Li Xuan was finally in the main hall and saw Queen Xia wearing a phoenix robe, with a majestic face and charm.
"Xiao Xuanzi, this early in the morning, I came to the palace, what is the matter?" Empress Xia glanced at the box in Li Xuan's hand.
Li Xuan bowed and said, "Niangniang, the little one lived up to the trust and brought the action documents that Niangniang wanted." β
"Oh?" The queen's phoenix eyes flashed, and she said, "Submit it." β
Only then did Li Xuan respectfully open the box and present the documents inside to the queen mother.
Queen Xia looked at it quietly for a while, and then said:
"I heard that a few black-clothed people broke into the Dongchang last night and fought hard, but they were scared away by Wang Wei and Lu Meng, how did you steal this document?"
Hey, the queen's information is okay, what happened last night, now I know...... Li Xuan bowed and said:
"Hui Niangniang, the little one was also in the East Factory at that time, and while the people in the East Factory were attracted by the fight outside, they stole the paperwork, and then quietly slipped away along the route that had been stepped on in advance."
Empress Xia took a deep look at Li Xuan and said:
"You are clever, it seems that this palace is not wrong, this palace has always been clear in rewards and punishments, you helped this palace to do this, this palace should reward you."
"Say, what do you want?"
