Time is a very mysterious thing, and it is the only fair thing in the world, but for different people, at different times, they can clearly feel the difference in the speed of time passing.

Since Tang Ji, Mu Xi, Su Wen and others returned from the Lost Swamp, a month and a half has passed unconsciously, and in this month and a half, Shenmu Mountain has been safe, and even participated in the grand event with Shengyou Academy, and held a grand literary meeting, which was very lively.

However, the Sacred Word Continent outside Shenmu Mountain had already fallen into turmoil.

In the secular world, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the chaos in the imperial court.

Xu Huanyi went to Shenmu Mountain and never heard his voice again, when Xu Ying, the master of the court, was demoted and lost power, but he did not leave Yicheng, but spent his years in the Xu family's mansion, and it seemed that he was not afraid that Emperor Wei's butcher's knife would fall at any time.

Correspondingly, it was the families and important ministers who were good friends with the Xu family in the Wei Dynasty that began to be ruthlessly purged and suppressed by Emperor Wei, and the entire Yicheng began to fall into panic, and Yanshou Street, which had always been lively and noisy in the past, also became much deserted unconsciously.

In the past month and a half, I don't know how many heads have fallen to the ground, and how many people have been imprisoned, so even the prisoner cart distributed to Yumen Pass in Liangzhou has become more and more crowded.

Even if this is not the most cruel courtier reshuffle since the founding of the country in the past hundred years, it is not far off, even when Emperor Taizong changed the dynasty back then, the blood did not flow for more than a month and a half.

As a result, the vitality of the entire patriotic country was greatly damaged.

Now the only people who can still gain a foothold in the Yicheng Imperial Palace are Hua Yifu, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Tang Qingshan, the first assistant of the cabinet. and Wang Yangming, a scholar of Zhenguo University.

But there are two things that people don't understand.

First, from beginning to end. Emperor Wei only made a move against those who had too close contacts with the Xu family, but the Xu family, as the center of the storm, was always safe and sound!

Xu Ying, the master of the horse, was still leisurely drinking tea and playing fish in the mansion, not only was his life in danger, but he even entered the palace with Princess Ping several times and accompanied Emperor Wei to listen to a few scenes.

Some people speculate that this may be because the power that the little marquis Xu Ke has gathered in the rest of the state capitals makes Emperor Wei jealous. Some people also speculate that it is because Xu Bansheng's life and death are unknown, and Emperor Wei is leaving a way out for himself.

But what Emperor Wei really thought, no one knows.

The second thing is puzzling. It was at the beginning of the chaos of the patriotic country, whether it was the Tianlan Empire, which was entrenched in the southeast and had always been eyeing the tiger, or living in the northern cold. From time to time, the Yan Kingdom that tickles the nerves of Emperor Wei. They all maintained a wait-and-see attitude, and did not even make a symbolic temptation!

Of course, there is something strange about this, but all people in the literature and Taoism have more or less guessed the truth.

That is the birth of the Demon Sacred Beast Gluttony!

A month and a half ago, the gluttonous holy beast came out of the Lost Swamp, and with a monstrous hatred, almost single-handedly destroyed the entire Lost Zelin. With such a high-profile momentum, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire continent.

Whether it's a human race or a demon race. They were all shocked, and for a while, the strong man of Wendao came out and rushed to the Lost Swamp non-stop, but he didn't even see the shadow of gluttony.

After that, there was news of the gluttony appearing from time to time, the truth was difficult to distinguish, so that people from all walks of life were tired of running, so far dozens of days have passed, not only failed to capture the gluttonous demon body, but successively let the gluttony sneak attack several towns and succeed, turning all the lives into their own strength!

In the long run, it is not difficult to imagine that gluttony will become the biggest threat to the entire continent!

It is rumored that even the Tianlan Emperor Ji Nantian has secretly left Tianlan City, and went to pursue the traces of gluttony with the Holy Temple's Master of Compassion, the Emperor of Yilian Heaven, and the Scarlet Winged Kou Sisters and other literary powerhouses.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this reason that in the past month and a half, the entire Tianlan Empire seemed unprecedentedly calm, like the dead silence before the storm.

In addition, the Kraken clans in the eastern region of the continent also seemed to be ready to move, and successively launched several waves of powerful offensives in the Yumen Pass of the Patriotic State and Zhenning Pass of the Tianlan Empire.

In comparison, as the southern part of the continent where the demon clan inhabits the most, it seems to be extraordinarily peaceful, before the cold winter came, it was the most active time for the demon clan south of the river, especially now that the demon clan's holy beasts are resurrecting, no matter how you look at it, the demon emperor should not be so low-key.

There is news that there seems to be something wrong within the royal family of the demon clan, which leads to zhì having no time to care, but whether it is true or false, or what the demon emperor is doing unknown schemes, no one knows.

However, even if the entire Sacred Word Continent is not peaceful now, the Yellow Crane Tower, as one of the holy places of the human race, was still opened as scheduled, and it was not postponed because of the changes of the demon race, or the reappearance of the demon holy beasts in the human world, this is the confidence of the holy land, and it is also the confidence of the holy land!

It is true that the real Yellow Crane Tower will not show its true face until half a month later, but the nebula corridor leading to the Yellow Crane Tower has been opened, and the representatives selected by the ten nations of the Terran Race have also set off at almost the same time.

At this moment, perhaps everyone did not expect that this trip to the Holy Land was the beginning of another turmoil in the Sacred Word Continent after a hundred years......

......

The young man in white, who inherited the name of the teacher's "Xunchen", put down the wine glass in his hand, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and smashed it on the counter, and then left the restaurant in a drunken state.

Walking outside the restaurant, Xunchen walked around the city several times, his eyes had gradually recovered, and after making sure that no one was dark, he gently patted the head of the wooden bird on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's almost, it's time to go!"

After finishing speaking, a light sound suddenly sounded from the mouth of the dove, and then opened its small mouth to hold Xunchen's fingers, and swept straight towards the sky at a speed like thunder and lightning!

As we all know, almost all the towns in the ten countries of the human race are forbidden to the sky, whether it is the Red Flame Bird carrying Su Wen to Bishui Pass that day, or Su Wen and Lu Sanjiao riding the sky and white cranes to Yicheng, they all need to land and walk outside the city, but Xunchen just swept the sky openly, not afraid of the prohibition of the rune array in the city!

What's even more surprising is that even at the moment when Xunchen's figure disappeared into the sky, the city was peaceful, and no alarm was issued, let alone the air defense array was activated, so Xunchen was allowed to leave!

However, the next moment he left, a little monk with a bare head also appeared, his eyes full of doubt, and sighed, "Is it you?"

After a long time, Haoma couldn't help but shake his head again, looked at Shenmu Mountain far away in the country, and said regretfully: "I'm going to be that kid's bodyguard again, I can only do this first, I hope you will also appear in the Yellow Crane Tower this time, then it will be interesting!"

As he spoke, Haoma's figure flashed and disappeared in place, and then, a scene that Haoma would never have imagined happened.

I saw that Xunchen, who had already left, actually appeared in the position where Haoma was standing before, holding a seemingly ordinary yellow paper umbrella in his hand, and his eyes were slightly condensed.

"What a difficult guy, he didn't investigate the affairs of the demons, but came to me, did he really let him find something?"

Thinking of this, Xun Chen couldn't help but purse his lips, looked at the nebula corridor thousands of miles away, and sighed: "No way, I have to go, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster!"

Holding a yellow paper umbrella in one hand, and shaking the heavenly feather lightly with the other, Xun Chen slowly walked towards the city gate, and everywhere he went, everyone turned a blind eye to him, as if Xun Chen had turned into a wisp of ghost at this time, and no one could notice it!

At the same time, the young man, who was more like a wandering spirit in the world, finally stepped down his jade throne and walked down the stone steps barefoot, bowing his noble head, for he had finally seen the adult.

On the Jade Throne, there were still three people wearing Rakshasa masks kneeling, but unlike in the past, there was one more person in the room.

The man was standing.

His face was not covered with a rakshasa mask, but it was like darkness deeper than the night, making people look blurred, and a pair of eyes were like ghost fire in a tomb, floating without a place to go.

"Your Excellency. The young man's words are full of respect, but they make others sound taken for granted.

He knew that he was now facing the greatest high priest in the clan for thousands of years, even when the ancestors were alive, they had never had the slightest disrespect for him, and during the hundred years of the Holy Dao, the people of the clan were driven into endless darkness, but this high priest survived, which may be the blessing of the Holy Heaven for them.

The world only knows that the Terran military advisors were famous during the holy war a hundred years ago, but they didn't know that on their side, there was also a brilliant high priest who kept the most noble bloodline in the clan.

Decades ago, he trapped and killed the Lesheng Li Guinian in the Tianqi Mountain Range, and twenty years ago he killed a generation of Sword Saint Duanyue on the top of Beigu Mountain, all of which came from this person!

For the young man, this high priest is like his faith and god, the only hope for the restoration of glory within the Fù tribe!

The flower carving and the others kneeling on the ground were silent, perhaps they never thought that they would be able to see this adult in their lifetime!

Nodding slightly, the high priest slowly spoke: "There are two things, one of which needs to be done by His Highness himself, and the other one, I need to borrow a flower carving." ”

When the young man heard this, his heart trembled slightly, but he knew very well that the High Priest's strategy had never gone wrong, and since he dared to let himself out of this dark room, he would definitely ensure his safety!

So he nodded and said respectfully, "It's all up to your lordship." ”

The high priest's eyes flickered slightly, staring at the green jade throne in front of him, and suddenly smiled lightly: "There is still one last step left, and winter is almost coming......" (End of this volume!)
