Star fruit was taken aback: "...... Really? But why did he do it?"

After saying this, he thought of Li Qingyan beside him, and hurriedly said: "Ah, I'm not ......"

Li Qingyan smiled: "I understand." ”

"Because after he fled to Europe, he was first regarded as an outlier by the practitioners there, mainly the people of the Holy See at that time. There were also serious conflicts, and I almost died. Dunfrey's gaze turned to Li Qingyan, "It was the demon clan in Europe who took him in and saved him." The one who contained him was also famous—the current leader of the American bloodline, the former Count Dracula. ”

"You want to. This man was first abandoned by his people in his homeland and then exiled to a foreign land. As a result, they were regarded as enemies by their own kind, and they had no way out. In the end, it was the aliens who accepted him—and those aliens were being hunted down at that time. At such times, the pain and hatred in the heart can cause people to let go of many things, including racial differences. ”

On the other hand, the practitioners of the old dynasty did not see themselves as fully human beings—they felt that they were gods of the land, demigods of the world. In fact, before he left his homeland, his sense of racial identity had begun to blur. That is why, after the establishment of the new society in the Republic of Asia, it was necessary to remove the practitioners from the altar, to give the public the opportunity to practice, and to involve them in public affairs—all in order to dilute the boundaries between them. ”

Speaking of which, Dumfrey smiled, "Okay. I've talked too much - it's okay to listen to these as wild histories, not to talk about them in class. ”

So the star fruit didn't ask anymore. She's a delicate girl. Although the room was dark now, she could still sense the subtle atmosphere between Li Qingyan and Dumfrey. Something must have happened just now to have the scene I saw later.

But at this time, the "North Mountain Barrier" above the sky changed.

It was probably at the zenith that the color of the cyan light became a little darker. At first, the star fruit thought that the strength of the enchantment was going to increase, but it soon realized that it was not the case—the blue light gradually turned to purple light.

The next moment, a huge, blood-red eye suddenly opened at the zenith.

Almost a third of the sky was occupied by that eye, as if a giant had leaned in to observe the entire North Mountain Castle. Star fruit had seen the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, and now this eye reminded her of that terrifying storm cyclone that could hold two Earths!

She screamed, and was so frightened that she took two steps back and crashed into Li Qingyan's arms. Not only her, but even the students in the refresher class outside the field let out a cry of horror.

The huge eyes seemed to be looking for something—something that had just been there, but had suddenly disappeared, as if a beast from the wilderness was maliciously peering outside the cave to spy on the weak, helpless people hiding within.

Carambola felt that it should be looking for the entire Beishan Castle. Kitayama Castle, which was still bright just now.

The huge eye quickly twisted and deformed, and on the other side a smaller eye squeezed in, like a giant desolate spirit in the sky "turning its face" - that eye soon took up a third of the sky, and then ...... More eyes appeared.

It was as if there was a huge pile of eyeballs piling up all over the North Mountain Enchantment, twisting and wriggling to see what was within the enchantment!

"Don't be afraid. Li Qingyan helped her steady, "It's just scary to watch." ”

As if to prove his words, a golden light suddenly shot straight into the sky in the city!

The golden light stabbed one of the eyeballs...... Then the eye snapped shut, and all eyes disappeared. The blue light of the enchantment flickered, and after three seconds they felt their eardrums swell slightly.

Then I saw that there were golden, red, blue and white streamers rising from all parts of the North Mountain, soaring into the sky. The students in the field saw this scene and cheered loudly.

These were monks—they rose up in the air, apparently intent on driving the spirits away from the barrier.

Dumfrey took a deep breath, as if shocked by what he saw.

"These people are going to go outside the barrier and observe. He narrowed his eyes and said, "One, two, three, four, five, six...... Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three. Twenty-three. There are about fifty of them at the fourth level of the North Mountain, and about ten of them at the upper fourth level. There are seven or eight ...... in the third level Level 2 is not clear. Looking at it this way, it's almost the best of the best. ”

He looked at Li Qingyan: "That friend of yours, Pei Yuanxiu's father Pei Bolu is also at the fourth level, right? ”

Li Qingyan looked at it intently. The speed of the monks was very fast, and it was said that the fastest second-level monk of the Chongxu Sect could reach twelve times the speed of sound. When they said these words, the monks had already broken out of the scope of the barrier and could not see it.

But the traces of light left by the magic weapon did not disperse for a while, and Li Qingyan caught one of the golden ones, leaving a faint feather pattern in the night sky. This should be the trace left by the monks of the Lotus Sect.

So he was silent.

Dumfrey smiled, "The people from the Promotion Society want to kill Peberu. If you know that the Dragon King is coming tonight, it will be a good opportunity. ”

"I think it's a good opportunity to die. Li Qingyan also smiled, "There are so many bigwigs on it now......"

When he said this, his heart skipped a beat.

Assassinate Peberu.

Desolate Soul.

What a great opportunity indeed!

The Facilitation has previously been in contact with the Red Gang in the Wasteland. The Red Gang has some fame in the wasteland, but at most it is a bandit and should not be in the eyes of the promotion association. Asking them to kill star fruit is even more nonsense...... But Li Cheng and Sister Mandarin Duck were later brought into the city by serious people.

Why do you pay so much attention to these two "bare-rod commanders"?

Unless he has a usefulness...... It's not the use of force, resources, or people, but ...... Information!

The desolate soul that Pei Yuanxiu said before that appeared in the nearby wasteland should be the imbecile body of the current "Dragon King...... Maybe Li Cheng and Sister Mandarin Duck have seen it!

Is the Promotion Council also looking for the Asomites? So you want to get news from these two people? What do you do when you find the Aragandas?

- Dumfrey just told a story. The story of the explosion of the old dynasty Wang Gongchang in 1626. That time it was the monk who wanted to lure the desolate soul into the city and destroy the artillery bureau!

The promotion association wants to do the same!?

It must be so. A few days ago, Zheng Sheng said that the promotion association is going to do a big thing this time, and it needs the cooperation of various departments. What's bigger than luring the desolate soul!?

Are these people crazy!?

But what does it have to do with star fruit?

He let out a sigh of relief and turned his face to look at Dumfrey.

The latter smiled: "Got it?"

Li Qingyan glanced at the star fruit: "I'll go out with Teacher Deng to say a few words." ”

The girl nodded.

So he strode out the door, and Dunfrey laughed and followed. Li Qingyan closed the door and stared at him: "You already knew about this? Why didn't you say it earlier? Does Lin Xiaoman know?"

"I said five minutes earlier, you won't believe it. So Pei Yuanxiu didn't tell you about it. Dumfrey smiled and thought for a moment, "Oh...... He shouldn't be clear, after all, we suspect that there are defectors within the Beishan Bureau. But you must have wondered who that person might be - is there anyone in your mind right now?"

Li Qingyan frowned slightly and remained silent.

Dumfrey smiled again, "Prompt you." Xiao Man didn't go home when he went back to Beishan this time, and stayed at the Jiahe Hotel, saying that it was arranged by the leaders of the Zongdao Bureau, because he wanted to follow up the case in Murmansk collectively. ”

"It can't be. Li Qingyan said.

"Where is it impossible? Think she won't kill her relatives in righteousness? Or...... Won't you doubt your father?" Dunfrey stopped laughing, "I'll tell you for you." You and Lin Xiaoman, and even the Sect Dao Bureau, and even higher-ups, are suspecting that the defector is Xiao Man's father, a True Martial Sect monk, and the director of the Beishan Bureau of the Special Intelligence Bureau, Lin Qiyun. ”

Li Qingyan was still silent.

"Xiao Man saw you in the morning to observe you. I should have met Pei Yuanxiu before this. She is a very principled person with a strong position. You may be imflexible in small things, but you will never be soft on big things. ”

Li Qingyan was silent for another two seconds: "But why? Lin Xiaoman said that Pei Yuanxiu would not be a defector, because America had nothing to buy him." What about Lin Qiyun? He-"

He was stunned.

Lin Qiyun is indeed different. This Lin family in Beishan is different.

The Pei family, the Zhou family, and the Lin family are all wealthy families in the eyes of ordinary people in Beishan. Zhou Yunting of the Zhou family was proposed to be the next successor of Xiao Yuanshan, while the Pei family had always been the suzerain family of the Lianhua Sect, but the Lin family was ......

They're just a branch. It was only after the establishment of the new society that Lin Qiyun had a chance to stand out and become the leader of the Beishan Bureau of the Special Intelligence Bureau. Over the years, the government of the Republic has been trying to weaken the influence of the cultivators on the sect and increase its political color.

This branch of the Kitayama Lin family bears the brunt of the reduction. Because of this, Lin Qiyun can become the director of the Special Intelligence Bureau.

At the administrative level, he is at the same level as Pei Bolu, the chief of security, but Pei Bolu also has an identity as the next sect master of the Lianhua Sect - how can Lin Qiyun be on an equal footing with such a person?

Because of compensation.

Slowly cut it out of the family of cultivators and compensate for it in terms of political future.

But on the other hand, this kind of "compensation" and "future" are not infinitely possible. In fact, Lin Qiyun and all the monks of the family have a ceiling in terms of political future.

The rebels who were born at the end of the old dynasty were mostly from ordinary people. It was precisely because of the collusion between the imperial power and the supernatural monks before the fall of the old dynasty that the governors of various places became self-reliant and the empire was instantly torn apart. The new leadership of the Republic of Asia will not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and in fact the majority of the current top of the Republic government are ordinary people, or monks of rank six or seven, and the Grand Commander himself is only a lower rank six.

People like Pei Yuanxiu's father and Pei Bolu will be arranged to "train" in the government system or the military system very early on—just like Zhou Lihuang wants to do now. In decades of political life, he cultivated his sense of identity with the "system" and reshaped his three views. When he had become a statesman rather than a pure practitioner, he was put into "seclusion" and in charge of a sect.

This is true not only at the top of the sect, but also at the bottom. One-third of the monks of the various sects of practice accept disciples, and one-third of the places are sent by the government.

Pei Bolu, Pei Yuanxiu, Zhou Yunting, Zhou Lihuang and others all have a way out, or the final destination. But Lin Qiyun didn't ...... It is impossible for him to be in charge of the sect, nor can he be in a high position in the political arena, and a director of the Beishan Bureau may be the head. Lin Xiaoman is fighting so hard now, probably to give it a try and see if he can break through the "ceiling".

People in this situation...... It's not out of the question—if America offers a high enough boost.

And America is even more motivated to offer this kind of price - for them, Lin Qiyun is a huge asset. He has mastered the cultivation method of the upper four levels, and the highest cultivation method of the Demon Republic on the other side of the ocean so far is the lower four levels, which was brought over by that Lu Guan Hai.

Nearly 400 years have passed since Lu Guanhai left the previous dynasty. In the past 400 years, how much has the local practice school improved and studied the Fa? What is in America has long been a product of the times.

This kind of thing is different from technology.

The mainstream modern practice technique originated in the Republic itself and originated 5,000 years ago. It is something that has developed gradually on the basis of other laws that are independent of the vast majority of natural laws. Self-contained and internally self-consistent. By the time humans and demons in Europe began to realize the "advancedness" of this technology, realized that they had distorted the "technology tree" along the way, and began to try to learn it, it had been developing independently for more than 4,000 years.

It's like throwing a group of ancient people from 4,000 years ago into the modern world, and asking them to try to build an atomic bomb by themselves when the modern society has imposed a technological blockade on them.

In 100 years, it is almost impossible. Because this group of people even had to start with the binary equation and slowly explore it themselves.

This is roughly the case with America in terms of modern spiritual techniques.

Therefore, after the signing of the "Lansing Declaration on the Right to Exist", the two sides signed the "Treaty on the Sharing of Cultivation Techniques", which stipulates that over a period of 50 years, the Republic will gradually share some high-end practices below the second level with America. This means that the demons on the other side of the ocean can refine their souls stronger, and the next generation born will be stronger, solving the crisis of "extinction".

But just as America always has many pretexts for a technological blockade of the Republic, so too many means for the Republic to postpone this so-called "sharing treaty" indefinitely. Both camps are fighting for the possibility of World War III, and no one wants to give their sword to their opponents.

Li Qingyan felt that if he was the current president of the blood clan in America, he would rather exchange the whole of South Africa for a third-level monk of any sect.

Dunfrey watched him quietly and thought for a while before he spoke: "Pei Yuanxiu should also think of this now. Mr. Li, the Promotion Association wanted to kill Pei Bolu, but because of this, Lin Qiyun—assuming it was really him—was exposed. For America, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Therefore, the strategic value of the Origin Project and the Fertility Goddess Project must be much higher than the upper fourth-level cultivation method on Lin Qiyun's body, and this is what we want to investigate. If you figure out this step first, you can figure out the next step. ”
