CHAPTER XXIII

In the Winged Palace, in the study, in front of the window, a lark buried its red pointed beak in its pale green feathers and snorted a few times.

The sky was covered with a thick cloud, the room was unlit, it was a little dim, and the air was very hot, indicating the eve of a storm.

A burly figure walked to the window, looking through the intricate sandalwood carvings, looking out, the lark pulled its head out of its feathers, jumped left and right in the silver cage, its purple paws tightly clutched the golden perch at its feet, and looked at the black cover by the window, a book with gilt embossed letters—the Jizo Sutra Tara Mantra.

There were only a few people standing in the very small room, and there was no extra decoration, only a small closed window, a lark with red hair, green feathers and purple feet, a thick book that seemed to have been lost for a long time, and even no door.

There was a faint announcement outside the wall, the sound was simple but also very powerful, it was the voice of Jiangnan Sword Saint Wu Kai, "Master, they are back." ”

"Gu Tingcheng's investigation is clear?" a hoarse voice sounded, reminding people of the ancient trees with intertwined roots and branches, and the yellow sand under their feet.

"Well, it's indeed the orphan daughter of the Gu family. ”

"Okay, break the army, go down. ”

"Master, April 18 is almost here. Wu Kai reminded outside the wall.

There was a dead silence within the walls, and there was no echo. Wu Kai arched his hand, then turned to leave, and several guards covered in gold armor immediately surrounded him, revealing only two eye sockets all over his body, and the two-meter-long silver spear in his hand was full of cold light.

After a long time, the burly figure leaned down, opened the cage lock with one hand, and kissed Bai Ling's red forehead. "Twenty years ago, Yuntian handed you over to me, and now, you are free. ”

The sky was gray, as if covered with a light-colored curtain, Bai Ling raised his little head, looked at the figure in the dim, blinked his eyes a few times, and moved his feet back and forth unnaturally.

"Go, Dijiang. ”

Divine Bird - Dijiang. Bai Ling's body suddenly grew at an extremely fast speed, with a slender tail hem, emerald green feathers, and blood-red crown feathers, dividing the body into three sections.

A "purring" bubble sound came from Bailing's throat, and a mouthful of thick sticky blood spurted out of his throat and stuck to the ground.

After a while, Di Jiang's body had grown to the same length as an adult's height, and the fluffy tail hem directly filled the entire small room, leaving people with no place to stay.

The figure put his face on Di Jiang's small round head, rubbed its soft feathers, for a long time, pushed with both hands, turned around very cruelly, without a trace of hesitation, he turned his back to Di Jiang, his voice was lowered, and the figure no longer seemed to be burly, and said softly.

"I'm sorry. ”

When the figure walked away, Di Jiang opened his throat and cried, crying blood.

The stone wall turned around, and the burly figure walked out, "See Your Majesty." The surrounding gold-armored guards knelt down on one knee in unison, put their right hands on their chests, and said respectfully.

Lingyan Pavilion, Nangong Qingtian stood for a long time before he slowly turned around and scanned the whole audience with a cold gaze, the guards of the Heavenly Lord's Court and the three major gate masters all lowered their heads, not daring to move at will.

"Nangong Courtyard Master, is what Chaos said true?" Bai Ruoxu and Qiao Jingda both subconsciously lowered their heads a little to avoid their edges, but Xu Xinyu did the opposite, flicked his sleeves and stretched out one hand.

"What is true, what is false. Nangong Qingtian laughed and turned around, raised his arms and waved, and then suddenly stopped, the long sword was unsheathed, pointing at Xu Xinyu, and his tone was still cold.

"Only the winner is qualified to evaluate the truth or falsehood. ”

"Okay, Master, remember your words today. Xu Xinyu looked like he was already angry, flicked his white sleeves, turned away, and the people in the Heavenly Council at the door were at a loss one by one, so they could only make way and let him squeeze out.

Bai Ruoxu and Qiao Jingda stood in place very embarrassed, at a loss, one side is an alliance, and the other side is their own people, it is not easy to offend either side, but after thinking for a moment, Bai Ruoxu still made a choice, clasped his hands into fists, turned around, and finally turned towards Nangong Qingtian, "I'm sorry, I'll apologize again in the future." ”

After Qiao Jingda heard what he said, he gave up his hesitation in his heart, but he still faced Qingluan and Suzaku and said embarrassedly.

"Qingluan, you ......"

After all, Qingluan and Suzaku have finally reunited by blood, and it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, if it is......

"I'll go with you. Qingluan said very decisively, his eyes were resolute, and he did not hesitate at all, and then slowly turned around and looked at Suzaku, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

"If you want to go, go away, and tell me what to do. Holding the long sword in his right hand, his arms crossed diagonally, he walked past Qingluan with great unappreciation, walked to Qiao Jingda's side, and drew his sword on Qiao Jingda's shoulder, "I've been following you for the past few days, if you dare to treat Qingluan well, hum." ”

After speaking, Suzaku walked to the side door, disappeared in the flying fish suit, the white tiger saw this, panicked and pushed away the flying fish suits, chased out, but Qiao Jingda thought for a long time before taking Qingluan's hand, the two looked at each other, smiled, saluted everyone, and walked out of the door.

In the pavilion, for a long time, Qinglong stood at a loss on the side, the commander of the Heavenly Council was rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands at this time, standing behind him, Nangong Qingtian's face twitched, roared, the long sword danced, and the mahogany round tables in the pavilion turned into sawdust one after another, flying all over the sky.

"Xu, Xu, what's wrong with you?" Bai Ruoxu chased after Xu Xinyu behind him, Xu Xinyu walked on the street that had already been evacuated, and he looked angry, although he didn't look impatient, he was actually walking fast.

"What's wrong with me? Why don't you go and ask him. Xu Xinyu turned around, pointed to the top of the Lingyan Pavilion in the distance, and said angrily, but his eyes blinked quickly and gave him a look.

Bai Ruoxu reacted immediately, his eyes glanced around, and he hurriedly said some special words for persuasion.

The two played until Qiao Jingda and Qingluan followed, then they grabbed the two, pulled them aside, turned left and right in the alley for a while, and stopped at a corner where debris was piled up.

"Xu, are you alright? Qiao Jingda was inexplicable, holding Qingluan, who was still weak, and looked at Xu Xinyu.

"Heavenly Lord's Court and Wing King Palace, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in the future. Xu Xinyu's tone returned to calm.

"Why?" Qiao Jingda saw that he was halfway through his words, and hurriedly asked.

"The relationship between the Wing King Palace and the Alien Blood Hall is still unknown, and the Heavenly Council, just now, I concluded one thing. Xu Xinyu paused, and then said, "There are traitors in the Heavenly Academy. ”

"What, why?" Although Qiao Jingda also had this doubt, but the Heavenly Council was the highest level of the royal family, how could there be a traitor, even if there were, everything was normal for everyone in the Heavenly Council in Lingyan Pavilion, how could Xu Xinyu conclude that there was a traitor.

"I'll explain to you later, now that we're running out for time, we must move on to the next mission right away. Xu Xinyu hurriedly finished speaking, and he didn't even have time to pause.

"What's the matter?" Bai Ruoxu was also very strange, he was still idle in the morning, but why was time pressed in the evening.

"Time is limited, we must act separately this time, Bai Ruoxu, you go to investigate the Jiangnan Lin family, the master of the Seven Peerless Qin twenty years ago, this matter is definitely not so simple. ”

"Qiao Jingda, Qingluan, you two go to the Yanwang Palace, I want all the case files about that case eighteen years ago, and I want you to find out the origin of the Huangyin Sanlu. ”

"What, you slow down, what a case from eighteen years ago. Qiao Jingda scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, I know, leave him alone. Xu Xinyu slapped his forehead with one hand, he was speechless, and Qingluan hurriedly set up a backup.

"Okay, today is April 15th, April 17th, whether it's finished or not, let's play in this place again, do you understand?" Xu Xinyu clapped his hands and said in a low voice.

"And me. There was a weak call from the other side of the alley, and a thin black figure limped in—Mo Que!

In the fang market of the imperial capital, during the curfew time, it was pitch black, and a figure jumped off the roof, and the surroundings were chaotic and empty.

"Damn. ”

The man shook off his black clothes, and his figure disappeared between the intricate bricks and tiles of the imperial capital.
