In fact, as early as when the Bitter Sea Courtyard Master walked towards the depths of the Western Shadows, a wisp of his qi had already crossed half of the Western Shadow Land to find Zhuge Chen. Although this is a thing that makes people feel as difficult as climbing to the sky just thinking about it, for a top saint, it is easier to climb the sky, and it is better to cross it in one step.

And Zhuge Chen, who was found, didn't show much surprise, anyway, in his eyes, this sage who had served as the master of the courtyard for thousands of years had great powers, even if he wanted to talk to him from afar, it was just a matter of heart. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard would tell him straight to the point that he was now in Xiyou. Moreover, the purpose of going down the mountain is to erase the potential hidden danger of the sect master of the Heaven Worship Sect.

At that time, Zhuge Chen was quite puzzled, and couldn't help but ask: "Courtyard Master, what are you doing this for? A sword cultivator in the pseudo-saint realm, to say the least, is also a blessing of luck, and has been favored by the Heavenly Dao and secretly gifted. If you kill him like this, won't you take all the repercussions on yourself?"

The master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard smiled and did not speak, but lightly tapped the ground under his feet.

Zhuge Chen scratched his head, naturally incomprehensible.

There was no way, the Bitter Sea Courtyard Master could only patiently explain: "The Sect Master of the Heaven Worship Sect has too much appetite, and the opportunity to become a saint is not in himself, but in the entire Western Ghost Continent. If he succeeds, the entire Xiyou will break away from this world. If you do it, it's too late. Although it was still possible to kill him, it would take a little more effort. It's just that if he chooses to burn the jade, the mortals in this place and the cultivators whose realm is not more than the ultimate will be used as the nourishment for his hard blow, and he will die. There's no way I'm going to let this happen. ”

Zhuge Chen frowned, thought for a long time, and then continued: "Listen to the meaning of the courtyard master, now you have reached the realm of a top saint?"

"It was a hundred years ago. The master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard did not hide it and spoke.

Zhuge Chen leaned against a big tree, snapped his fingers, and asked, "Then what do you need me to do?" If it weren't for this, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to look for me, right?"

"Enter the Xiyou Imperial Palace and pull out the chess pieces of the Heavenly Worship Sect that are hidden inside them. After I solve the Sect Master of the Heaven Worship Sect, the entire Xiyou will inevitably be rebuilt. A corrupt sect can't take care of it, so it naturally needs other forces to take over. The master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard spoke, and then handed over a bead to Zhuge Chen's hand: "How you do it, it's your business." If you succeed, you will be rewarded for returning to the college. Even if you fail, you won't be blamed. You put this bead away, and there is a wisp of my qi in it. With this as a talisman, even the Sect Master of the Heaven Worship Sect will not do anything about you. Let it go, at least let a royal palace, just a royal palace. ”

Saying this, the figure of the Lord of the Bitter Sea Courtyard disappeared in place. And this is also the real reason why Zhuge Chen will appear in the palace. It's just that he didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, and he easily rescued Her Royal Highness the princess who was in danger and gained the trust of the other party.

......

In the main hall, the God of Wealth of the Heavenly Worship Sect waited for the good rain to be completed, and returned to this place to leave with him. It's just that the left and the right are waiting, just waiting for the white clothes and Her Royal Highness the princess.

The God of Wealth was very puzzled, he paced to Zhuge Chen's side, and asked, "Who are you, why do you follow Her Royal Highness the princess, could it be her male favorite?"

Zhuge Chen raised his head, looked at the other party with a smile and said, "Trouble comes from the mouth, I advise you to be careful when you speak." Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of this hall today. ”

"Do you dare to threaten me, do you know who I am?" said the God of Wealth sharply, and then slapped Bai Yi in the face. It was just that he had just raised his hand when he was caught by a finger. After hearing a crisp sound, the God of Wealth fell to the ground in a wail, rolling incessantly.

"The young man who is not even an expert in sword use, and who claims that sword cultivation will only disgrace sword cultivation, has been killed by me. As for those disciples of the Heavenly Worship Sect, I saw that their brothers had no intention of living when they died, so they were sent to Huangquan together. Next, isn't it your turn?" Zhuge Chen leaned over and gently patted the God of Wealth on the face. is obviously smiling kindly, but in the eyes of the other party, he looks like a demon god with a murderous heart.

The God of Wealth struggled to retreat, and said in a trembling voice, "You can't kill me!"

"Why?" Zhuge Chen spread out his hands, and at the same time let the flying sword sweep out of his big sleeve and surround the other party. Where the flying sword passed, there were wisps of qi left, and when I looked at it, it seemed to be a retrospective of the past.

"I'm in an important position in the Heaven Worship Sect, kill me, and the sect master won't let you go. No matter where you flee, the fight of the sect will follow. Let me go, I won't tell you what happened today. Lord God of Wealth swallowed his saliva, and while threatening Zhuge Chen, he thought of a way out for himself: "I will only report to the sect that Shanyu provoked a wild cultivator who lived in seclusion in the mountains and misled the sect, and it will never involve you." ”

"But I've already killed the son of your sect master, as well as the Zhendao in the Huatian Secret Realm, why haven't I seen him come to the door in a rage?" Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "He is a sword cultivator of the Pseudo-Saint Realm, if he stands in front of me, I believe it should be a very simple matter to kill me, right? But why didn't this happen? As a Heaven-worshipping Sect, you should have also heard about the Bitter Sea Courtyard Master's descent from the mountain." He is now anxious, and even his own life is in danger, how can he have the leisure to pay attention to the dead disciples of the sect. As for you, let alone that. ”

Saying these words, the flying sword also flashed away, piercing the eyebrows of the God of Wealth. Then he crushed the other party's corpse into dust with his sword qi, and with a slight wave of his hand, it dissipated between heaven and earth.

The young emperor, who had been sitting on the dragon chair all the time, did not show the slightest joy, for him, Zhuge Chen was undoubtedly more terrifying than the Heavenly Worship Sect. After all, until now, he didn't know what the other party was asking for.

Above the temple, that's it. If there is a general who returns triumphantly in a big battle, but the master of high merit does not seek fiefdom and official positions, money and beauties, it is difficult not to let the monarch think more about whether the other party is interested in that chair.

After cleaning up the mess, Zhuge Chen yawned and sat on the ground by himself. Her Royal Highness the Princess came to the young emperor's side and whispered a few words to him. But even if he told the cause and effect of the incident, it still couldn't dispel his doubts. Perhaps because of his suspicions, he always felt that there was a greater conspiracy and trickery of the Heavenly Worship Sect hidden in Bai Yi.

Zhuge Chen noticed this, but he didn't bother to explain. If it weren't for the master of the courtyard, wouldn't it be better for him to simply return to Dayan from here? This was the end of the long journey, and he not only sat down in a real bamboo basket to draw water, but also salvaged three wonderful techniques.

The young emperor stood up, first motioned for the eunuch beside him to leave, and then came to Zhuge Chen's side and said, "This matter will not be passed on." Although I am not in charge of the entire Western Shadow, I can still control a palace within an inch. ”

Zhuge Chen raised his head, smiled lightly, and asked, "Really, how can you be so sure, in the palace, there is no eyeliner of the Heavenly Worship Sect?"

The young emperor was stunned and speechless.

"You can't even believe yourself, you really can't believe me. Zhuge Chen straightened his waist, stood up, and continued: "But what is in front of you now is an opportunity. Let me enter the palace, and when the Heavenly Worship Sect ends, the entire Xiyou will be the dominant family of your royal family. Of course, you can also think that this is to lure the wolf into the house, anyway, risks and opportunities coexist, how to choose is your business. ”

"Why do you think that the Heavenly Worship Sect will come to an end? With a pseudo-saint as the sect master, the Heavenly Worship Sect is equivalent to having unlimited security. It's okay to be in the royal family, as long as you can prove that your words are right. The young emperor said coldly: "I have fantasized more than once, as long as I can bring down the Heavenly Worship Sect, what if this palace is divided into two and shared with others?!"

"It's true that the master of the Bitter Sea Academy went down the mountain, and I am a disciple of the academy. The young sword cultivator who has been making trouble in your west these days. More detailed, I told your royal sister, and you can ask her when the time comes. Zhuge Chen said absentmindedly, and then walked out of the palace with his hands behind his head, and the whole person felt lazy to others. He hummed a little tune along the way, and he didn't forget to collect the sword qi around him.

After Zhuge Chen's figure disappeared, the young emperor turned his head to look at Her Royal Highness the princess and asked, "Is it he who saved you?" ”

He frowned, quite moved. In this position, he really can't be as easily satisfied as the people in the market. People's desires are originally bottomless pits, practitioners want to reach higher realms, and eunuchs want to hold heavier authority. And the emperor, who naturally wants to be under the whole world, is not the king's land, with a vast territory and countless courtiers.

For this reason, even if it is to lure the wolf into the house, what can it do?

He took a deep look at his sister and thought for a long time, but the sentence was still unspoken. Just issued an order, and the outsider Zhuge Chen became the teacher of the Xiyou Kingdom from now on. Free access to the Imperial Palace, and the status is only below the Emperor.

As soon as this order came out, the entire imperial capital had different opinions. Some people say that they are disciples of the Heavenly Worship Sect and come here to compete for power. It is also said that it is the illegitimate child of the royal family, and in order to keep the secret leaked, it is used as a plausation.

And that national teacher, at this time, was in the house that he had just bought in the imperial capital, holding a book, and laughing at Ah Hua and Crow playing Go in front of him.

......

Worshipping the Heavenly Sect and worshipping the Heavenly Peak, the pseudo-saint sect master squinted his eyes at the condensed qi in the distant city, and said to himself: "You really have the courage to dare to go deep into the Western Shadow, don't you really think that I am being watched by the master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard, so I don't dare to make a move to make your body die?"

As he spoke, his right hand rested on the heavenly sword in front of him. Then a sword aura soared into the sky, flying towards the imperial capital, ready to take the life of the white cloth.

But the sword qi that should have been like a broken bamboo hovered in the air, and it shattered in a single breath. And in that place of madness, a figure quietly appeared. He looked at the Sect Master of the Heaven Worship Sect and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." ”

"How did you end up here?" the Sect Master of the Heaven Worship Sect narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"I guess why I appeared here so early, right?" This figure was the master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard: "Don't worry, I don't want to take your life immediately." Before that, you have to break down your foundation step by step. As you know, I've always been good at peeling back the cocoon. As for the young man you want to kill with a sword qi, it is unfortunate that he is a disciple of the academy. ”

"Master of the Bitter Sea Courtyard, you deceive people too much!"

"Too much deception?" the courtyard master laughed loudly, and then said, "It's hard to imagine that this came from the mouth of our Western Overlord, a pseudo-saint realm sword cultivator. You ask yourself, are you worthy?"
