Chapter 354: Arriving at the Imperial City
A faint blood-colored light galloped all the way through the vast wilderness, like a blood-colored lightning that broke through the sky. Through the blood light, you can faintly see that there is a huge building ship inside.
The length of this ship is about 30 zhang, and the whole body is made of a blood-red spar. The outermost circle is also covered with a layer of scaly armor the size of a pot lid. If you didn't look at the luxurious two-story attic on the hull, it would be no different from a red snake magnified countless times.
As long as it is a person with a little eyesight, he can recognize this boat at a glance as the practitioner's very famous flying spirit weapon - the Red Lian Boat.
Due to the long distance from the camp of Jingxi Lake to the Imperial City, even the condensate monks had to spend two days and two nights on their way without sleep.
At this moment, a gray-clothed man was standing quietly at the bow of the ship, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth.
Every once in a while, he would carefully adjust the direction of the flying boat according to the magic weapon in his hand, and then deduct more than a dozen scrapped spirit stones from a hidden groove, and then place a new batch of new ones with a blank face.
At first, the crowd stood on the side of the ship chatting casually while admiring the night view, but after most of the hour, they returned to their chosen ashrams.
In a spacious quiet room on the second floor, Lian Bingyun, Lei and Yu were all sitting together with solemn expressions, seemingly discussing a very important matter. However, judging from the fact that all three of them frowned and looked hesitant, it seemed that this matter was very difficult for them, so that they could not reach a consensus for a long time.
In a smaller, separate ashram, Xuan Ye sits on a brocade couch.
She held a piece of rag in each hand, and kept checking it over and over again, occasionally wrinkling her nose and twitching, and her face was full of doubt.
After a long time, she suddenly snorted unconvinced, and spread two pieces of rags of different colors on the couch. The index finger of his right hand lightly touched the small turquoise tripod, and after a little hesitation, he reluctantly threw a gadget into the tripod. With the urging of her spiritual power, the small and delicate blue tripod spun up quickly, and soon two thin green mist were forced out from the tripod to evenly cover the rags.
Looking at the little pale white particles that gradually appeared under the green mist, a smug smile finally appeared on Xuanyeyi's pretty face, and he muttered to himself: "Hey, it's actually a thousand-year-old Lingsang powder?" It seems that Ying Mei really didn't lie to me, but who would have such a big hand......"
In the quiet room on the first floor, Lin Quan, Xiao Hengyu, Zhang Banyue and Hu Yue also sat together.
"Hu Daoyou, is what you said true?"
Suddenly, Xiao Hengyu slapped the table and stood up, his face full of doubt and anger. "It's been more than ten years, could it be that they still don't worry about us?"
"That's right, at that time, there were fifteen elders of various factions outside the secret realm, and even they couldn't see any clues, could it be that the little practitioner still dared to use the Blood Demon Sect to test us and others?" Zhang Banyue was also very angry, and his eyes were fixed on Hu Yue.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Zhang, don't be angry. This is just some speculation by Hu, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to come and discuss countermeasures. Hu Yue smiled bitterly.
If he really couldn't help it, he wouldn't have dragged it out until this moment to reveal his thoughts. Because their Black Blood Abyss was originally a refined blood path exercise, they were very afraid of blood nerves.
"Brother Hu, let's not mention anything else for the time being, we just want to know how sure you are of this guess. Xiao Hengyu and Zhang Banyue glanced at each other and asked solemnly.
"Although Hu has no definite evidence at hand, judging from various circumstances, I am at least eighty percent sure!"
Hu Yue was obviously very confident in his judgment, "First, the person who pretended to be Yue Tianying back then was definitely a man, and the four of us happened to be the first in each faction, and they had the strength to kill Yue Tianying." Second, the three fairies who had reaped some kind of benefit back then also happened to be all present today. Thirdly, I have heard that the Elixir Mountain seems to have found some crucial evidence. In this case, do you still think Hu Yue is alarmist?"
"It seems that the Three Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm is really bound to get those two inheritance orbs!"
Lin Quan's heart had already turned upside down, but his face did not show the slightest discoloration, he squinted his eyes slightly and said lightly: "In this way, the candidates for the Blood Demon Sect and his party this time should be jointly formulated by the elders of all factions, and the practitioner family is just passing the scene." ”
After speaking, he swept over the three of them in turn with a smile, and it was only then that he realized that Pan Xiaofeng's exit time and the task assigned this time were a bit coincidental.
Hehe, maybe even if I hadn't taken the initiative to accept this task, I would have imposed it on me for other reasons if I wanted to come to the Purple Void Gate, right? He laughed at himself helplessly, and his determination to stay away from the Four Phases Continent became even stronger.
"So it's the same for everyone?"
Xiao Hengyu and Zhang Banyue were all stunned, but then reacted again, and said quite lonely: "Since everyone is in the same boat, then we have to be in the same boat." ”
"Brother Hu, you are the only one here who is most familiar with the Blood Dao Exercises, so let's hurry up and discuss it carefully. ”
After reaching a consensus, the four finally stopped thinking about luck and began to discuss together. They all knew that after more than ten years, the temptation task that could be unanimously selected by the elders of all factions must not be a good one, and if they didn't pay attention to it now, they might die.
An hour later, Lin Quan returned to his quiet room with a heavy face.
He was very glad that he could get Hu Yue's invitation to discuss countermeasures together this time, otherwise he might really be kept in the dark. In addition, through discussion, he finally learned the reason why the ancestor of the Lian family did not personally go out to take revenge, and did not even appoint a late-stage condensation monk.
It turned out that the Dajin Kingdom had once produced a Yuan Ling period monk, and tens of thousands of years ago, it was precisely because of the efforts of that Yuan Ling monk and his disciples and grandchildren that the ghosts were suppressed and sealed. In order to show respect, the Three Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm has always set the area where the Imperial City is located as a forbidden area, and no immortal cultivator is allowed to enter except for the supervising monks appointed by the major families of the Dajin Kingdom. Moreover, even if it is a supervising monk of the Dajin Kingdom, his cultivation is not allowed to exceed the middle stage of condensation.

Inside a tall tower in the southern area of Jingxi Lake.
A middle-aged man in a red robe walked quickly to a secret room, and saluted a red-haired old man before saying, "Ancestor Qi, Bingyun has already led the crowd to set off, and the Thirteenth side has long been ready to respond. ”
"Well, you did a good job this time. The other thirteen have a lot of credit this time, if he is willing, let him step down from his position as an overseer and come back to retire after the bloody evil sect is exterminated. The red-haired old man lightly slapped the snake staff, and the four moist beads in his right hand made a crisp "whoosh" sound.
"Yes, Ancestor......"
The middle-aged man arched his hand, but there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
"What's the matter, Chengdong? You are also the head of the family, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't spit out. The red-haired old man was a little dissatisfied, "Could it be that you are worried about Bingyun's little girl?"
"yes, ah, it's not ......"
Lian Chengdong was stunned in his heart, gritted his teeth before continuing: "If the Ice Cloud girl is just dealing with the Blood Demon Sect, there should be no problem. But...... If she wants to recover that thing, is it too reluctant with her strength?"
"Hehe, so you're worried about that!"
The red-haired old man laughed, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Don't worry, the task I gave her is only to exterminate the Blood Demon Sect and recover the treasures of my practitioner family." As for that thing, Gong Yu had already set off half a day ago. ”
"What? Fourth Uncle, he actually got out of the customs ahead of schedule, he wasn't impacting ......" Speaking of this, Lian Chengdong suddenly stopped.
"Well, that thing is too dangerous, except for the old man, only your fourth uncle can be sure to take it back safely. ”
"I see, the ancestor is wise!"
Lian Chengdong patted the red-haired old man on the back, and then asked with a greedy look: "It's just that in addition to the few targets assigned by 'them' in this mission, why do you still want to bring people from the Xiao, Jin, and Mo families?" Dong'er heard that the Blood Demon Sect has accumulated a lot of good things over the years......
"Rat-eyed!"
The red-haired old man snorted, "You don't want to think about what the imperial city is, if it weren't for the consent and secret assistance of the three of them, even if 'they' agreed, do you think Bingyun Girl and her party would be able to suppress such a big thing? Remember, there are some things that can't be eaten alone, otherwise there will definitely be problems." ”
"Dong'er was stupid for a while, thank you for the ancestors' teachings!"
Lian Chengdong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, bowed down and retreated under the gaze of the red-haired old man.
............
On the third day, seventeen people led by Lian Bingyun came outside the imperial city.
Taking advantage of the night, everyone got off the flying boat, sneaked all the way into the huge outer city, and then led by Lian Bingyun to an ordinary mansion.
This mansion is located in the corner of the outer city, although it looks very atmospheric and luxurious, but for the entire imperial city, a mansion of this size is nothing at all, at most it is just an ordinary small rich family. It can be regarded as a relatively hidden foothold for everyone.
Soon, everyone came to a small courtyard in the inner house. At this time, an old laugh suddenly came from a small attic, "Fellow Daoists have worked hard all the way, and Lian has been waiting here for a long time." ”
"Thirteen uncles!"
Lian Bing Yunjiao snorted, and immediately jumped lightly from the window into the small attic on the second floor. With an example, Lin Quan and the others did not see outside, they all lifted their breath and lightened their bodies, and entered this small attic with a light tiptoe.
