After turning on the stealth state, Zhao Sidong is not something that ordinary guards can find out, even with the help of military dogs.

Images, sounds, and smells were all shielded by themselves, and no one could detect them unless he showed himself.

So Zhao Sidong entered the Chu family's compound very easily and touched the old man's study.

When it comes to the big people of the level of Old Man Chu, they often have any secrets in the study, so the study is always listed as the top priority, and it is impossible to let people in when they are idle, and sometimes, even if the nanny wants to go in and clean, it must be carried out under the supervision of the guards.

Looking at the locked study door, Zhao Sidong listened attentively for a while, and found that there seemed to be no one inside, but it was not easy for him to open the door, because there was a guard standing on the edge of the study, although it was indoors, this person's vigilance did not relax, and he still stood in a standard military posture.

If the door to the study was opened, the guard would have been able to see it.

Do you have to wait until someone goes in?

No, Zhao Sidong doesn't have the patience to slowly spend it here, and after a little thought, he has a way.

Wall Piercing, it's a fairly low-level little spell, but it's just right now. If his cultivation is still in the foundation building period, even if he wants to use it, he can't use it.

After silently reciting the spell of the wall-piercing technique, he pressed his body against the door, only to feel as if he was entering the water, and there was a slight resistance around his body, and the next moment, he had already entered through the door and entered the study.

"Holy...... What's going on?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Sidong was almost scared to pee.

It wasn't that he was too timid, but what he saw in front of him was astonishing.

Obviously, I felt that there was no one in the study outside the door, but when I came in, I found that there were not only people inside, but also a lot!

In the large study, there are a total of nine people sitting or standing.

Sitting behind the desk was not the old man Chu, but a middle-aged Taoist, and he knew that it was Sanqingguan when he looked at the color of the clothes. There were three people sitting on the sofa next to him, the oldest was the owner of this study, Old Man Chu, and the two middle-aged men in military uniforms beside him should be his sons.

In addition, there were five people standing respectfully in front of the bookcase, some in military uniforms, some in civilian clothes, and it was vaguely clear between their eyebrows that they were all children of the Chu family.

And when Zhao Sidong just came in, he happened to hear the old man Chu on the sofa respectfully shout to the middle-aged Taoist sitting behind the desk.

Could it be that the Dao person turned out to be a member of the Chu family?

However, he didn't have time to ponder this question, because just as he entered the study, Old Man Chu's body suddenly emitted a burst of blue light, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Who is it? still don't show up to lead the death?" The middle-aged Taoist stood up with a slap on the desk, his eyes scanned around the room, the Taoist robe on his body was windless, and a powerful aura came out of his body, which immediately overwhelmed several people in the study.

Zhao Sidong, who was in a state of invisibility, secretly screamed bad luck, didn't think much about it, hurriedly retreated, and went out directly through the door again, and then flew into the courtyard, hid in a big tree, and quickly took out a small formation that could hide the breath under the jade rune, and then the atmosphere did not dare to come out and remained still.

As soon as he finished doing all this, he saw that the middle-aged Taoist also chased him out, he quickly closed his eyes and didn't dare to look directly at the other party, for fear that his gaze would cause the other party to induce, so he only left a thin slit to observe the situation below.

Since he had already been discovered by the other party, if he escaped at this time, although he was confident that he would be able to escape the pursuit of this master of the God Refining Period, it would not be easy to come back.

While glad that he didn't rashly use his divine sense to scan when he was outside the door before, he wondered what was on Old Man Chu's body, and he was able to see through his own hides.

"Is that the thing? But how does that thing exist on Earth?"

After thinking about it for a while, he thought of a possibility, once in the world of his previous life, he had seen something called the Ethereal Spirit Stone, which looked very similar to Jasper, but it had a very special place - it would sense the aura fluctuations of any kind of immortal cultivation technique, and as long as there were immortal cultivators nearby, it would cause it to react.

Later, some masters used this ethereal stone to develop a detection charm, which could record the fluctuations of aura that did not need to be detected, so that if there was a strange or other immortal cultivator in a stealth state, it could be discovered at once.

However, this type of detector has a disadvantage, it can only indicate that there are people nearby, but it cannot indicate where they are.

And once the other party is prepared, it will completely restrain its own breath, and it will not be able to detect it.

Zhao Sidong is very grateful for this shortcoming of it now, otherwise once he is positioned on the spot, where can he run out of the palm of the master of the God Refining Period?

As he expected, when the middle-aged Taoist came out, he first made a quick circle in the Chu family's compound, and after finding nothing, he flew straight outside, obviously to expand the scope of the search.

If he hadn't hid in the tree and set up a formation in time just now, but had fled outside, he would have been caught up by the other party, and once he was caught up, with his cultivation in the refining period, where could he compete with the refining period? That would have crossed four great realms!

After patiently hiding in the tree for more than half an hour, the middle-aged Taoist flew back with a gloomy face.

"Third Uncle, did you catch it?" Old Man Chu came up and asked, as soon as the words came out, he couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face, if he caught the infiltrator, would the third uncle's expression be so ugly?

However, the middle-aged Taoist didn't get angry with him, just shook his head and walked into the house. Old Man Chu didn't dare to ask anything more, so he followed honestly.

When Zhao Sidong saw this scene, his heart couldn't help but move, and he quietly made a small adjustment to the formation used to collect breath, temporarily solidified the formation on himself, and then carefully slipped down from the tree and returned to the door of the study.

After this small turmoil just now, the door of the study was not closed again, but was wide open, but the guards who were originally standing guard at the door were transferred open, because the whole house was now under the monitoring of the middle-aged Taoist's divine sense, and the thing that found Zhao Sidong was also placed on the table, and it was the kind of detection charm he had guessed before!

However, at this moment, the probe has lost its meaning, and Zhao Sidong, who was prepared, would not let the probe be discovered again, and kept his breath in a state of stealth and dived into the study for the second time.

Maybe they didn't expect that the infiltrator would go and come back, and they dared to run in again, so everyone didn't have any scruples when they spoke.

I heard Old Man Chu ask: "Third Uncle, in your opinion, what is the way that person will come from?"

The middle-aged Taoist groaned slightly, and said slowly: "I can't be sure about this, but since this person can avoid my ears and eyes, he must not be under me, if it weren't for this treasure of yours that worked wonders, I'm afraid that what we say here will be listened to by the other party." The origin of this person is unknown, and the meaning is unknown, so I can't judge it now, so I can only put this matter aside for a while to see if the other party will have other beginnings and tails. ”

Old Master Chu nodded respectfully, "Yes, Third Uncle." ”

The middle-aged Taoist waved his hand and asked, "By the way, where did you just go?"

"Back to the third uncle's words, I just talked about whether the next step should be to change the target to strike. Old Man Chu replied, it is not difficult to analyze two things from his words, the first thing, the problem that the old Zhao family has during this time is indeed the Chu family doing trouble, and the second thing is that the Chu family is not specifically targeting the old Zhao family, but is targeting the other six first-echelon red giants!

This is a big move, if it is just for a certain family, it can be said that the Chu family has a bit of a big appetite now, and wants to eat more and occupy more.

But if it is aimed at other families, it can only be said that the Chu family's plans are very big, and it may not be possible to achieve dictatorship!

Huaxia, after all, has gone through a long period of feudal society, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Chu family does not want to restore and live the addiction of being an emperor. Although it is difficult to realize imperial power in modern society as in the past, if there are immortal cultivators behind it, things are not easy to say.

Linked to the actions of Sanqingguan in the cultivation world, Zhao Sidong couldn't help but be a little curious, what tricks did Sanqingguan want to play?

Unify the spiritual world, and then unify the secular world?

If someone had told him that before, he would have thought they were joking. But now that things are happening one after another, he can't help but think about it.

Of course, this is just his personal speculation now, and it doesn't mean that this is the truth, so he will have to listen to the situation again and see if he can find more clues from their conversation.

Fortunately, the middle-aged Taoist's next words solved his doubts.

"Zhongtian, in your opinion, who should you choose as the target next?"

The 'Zhongtian' in his mouth is the name of the old man Chu, and now he is the only one who can call him by his name in Huaxia like this, even if it is the old man Zhao, he has to be called 'Comrade Zhongtian'.

Old Man Chu smiled, did not answer directly, but said: "Third uncle, there are a total of six red families with the same strength as our Chu family in the imperial capital, the Zhao family is the strongest one, and the Liu family has the greatest conflict of interest with the Zhao family. If the Zhao family is unlucky, the Liu family must be the happiest, and the reverse is the same. ”

The middle-aged Taoist raised his eyebrows, "You mean, the next one will be the Liu family, and then let everyone think that the previous thing was done by the Liu family, and now the Zhao family is retaliating?"

Old Man Chu nodded with a smile, "That's right, that's it." Third Uncle, you have been cultivating in the cultivation world all year round, and you may not know much about the way of thinking of us ordinary people, we are playing politics-governance, and politics-governance is an art of compromise. As you can see, including our Chu family, although the seven major families have their own interests and demands, and they all want each other to die immediately, they have to maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, fighting when they should fight, and taking a step back when they shouldn't. If the Chu family suddenly becomes stronger now, I am afraid that it will become the target of everyone, and then we can't kill all of them, right?"

The middle-aged Taoist snorted coldly, "Then what's the matter, killing these people is like slaughtering chickens and dogs! Okay, just do what you want, but I have a word first, the matter of the master is about to start, and I may not have much time for you to deal with these things, so it is best to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise as soon as I leave, you will have to continue to compromise with others!"
