Chapter 383: Storms and Clouds Rise, Huang Tian Cult Moves

After a while.

More than a dozen soldiers and horses from the Shan Hai Division, the Military and Horse Division, and the Qin Tian Supervisor rushed to the edge of the ruins.

They stood on a hilltop and looked far away.

There was a mess in the distance, as if the world had been turned upside down, the mountain peaks collapsed, and the river stopped flowing, making them all gasp in unison.

"What exactly happened here? Did any of you notice it in advance?" A Shanhaisi Chasi asked in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, showing a trace of solemnity.

The rest of the people shook their heads and said, "We just noticed the changes here and rushed over immediately."

"Without further ado, let's go take a look."

Everyone quickly rushed towards the core of the ruins.

What they didn't expect was that before they even got close, they noticed that there was a powerful aura remaining in the ruins, and there was also a faint ancient murderous aura.

These breaths were mixed together, like thousands of fine needles, penetrating their body-protecting Qi, making their skin tingle, making them feel restless and uncomfortable as if they were being pricked by needles.

The chief sergeant of Shanhaisi asked: "Did a monster attack Kyoto? Are these left by the big monster?"

"It's impossible. Our Soldiers and Horses Department has been patrolling Kyoto recently, and the capital has not been left behind. If there are demons, it is impossible to escape our patrol."

"That's weird."

The official of the Qintian Prison stepped forward. He used his spiritual power, caught a breath and closed his eyes to comprehend it carefully.

After a while, he immediately made a judgment and exclaimed: "The Yuanshen Realm! This is the aura of the Yuanshen Realm."

"Only the great masters of the Yuan Shen Realm are fighting here, and only existences like them will leave their aura behind and will not be wiped out in a short period of time."

"This breath is a bit familiar..."

Each of these people have been practicing martial arts for many years and have already developed clear senses.

Shanhaisi's general master circulated his spiritual power, and a pale white brilliance fell into the void, making a sizzling sound, entangled with a wisp of residual breath and disappeared.

He realized it carefully, and after a while he seemed to recall something, and was suddenly shocked.

"It's General Xue! His vitality was wiped out by others."

"Quick, this matter is not trivial and must be reported to Your Majesty immediately!" A soldier and horseman shouted loudly.

After so many years, someone actually committed murder near the capital, and what was even more terrifying was that they also killed the general of the dynasty, which they couldn't believe.

They can anticipate what kind of storm is coming.

…

In the capital city.

Shen Qing took his uncle, aunt and others on a detour and safely returned to his place of residence in the capital.

"Uncle, aunt, please take a look." Shen Qing pointed to the magnificent mansion in front of him and said, "This is my house in Kyoto. From now on, this is your home. Servant and servant, I will understand With all arrangements taken care of, you can live here with peace of mind.”

Uncle Shen Er stepped forward, looked at the carvings on the door of the house, and the huge word "Shen Mansion", and said with emotion: "The capital city, under the emperor's feet, is really extraordinary. We, the Orion family, are lucky enough to enjoy our old age here. I never dreamed that I would have such a good life.”

"Okay, okay... Qingzi, you are really promising!"

For a while, everyone who followed Shen Qing all the way felt mixed emotions in their hearts when they heard this.

They thought back to the days when they lived in Hongshan Village, and they felt a little incredible when they thought about it.

Yang Feng and others in the motorcade stood aside and said in a very respectful manner: "Master Shen, we have escorted you here from Yongzhou to complete your instructions. Now we have to make an appointment with Brother Wu and say goodbye."

Shen Qing smiled and said: "Everyone has worked hard. I will thank you deeply when I settle down my family affairs. I will also ask someone to compensate those brothers who have suffered accidents as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sir."

Yang Feng and others bowed their hands and did not linger in front of Shen Qing.

Not long after they left, a distant bell suddenly rang from the sky in the capital.

"This is... the Royal Bell!"

Shen Qing's face changed slightly.

The Huangming Bell is a magic weapon of the Dazhouji family, and it will be rung whenever there is a major event.

The sound of the bells will be heard throughout the capital.

After three rings, all officials who have not returned to the yamen or their respective posts will be executed.

Shen Qing didn't know why the imperial bell was rung at this time.

Could it be that someone knew about his execution of Xue Zhao?

Shen Qing was not sure.

But based on how careful he was at the time, he probably wouldn't have been discovered that easily.

What's more, his breakthrough in the Yuanshen realm was outside the city, so no one would think of him.

The second bell rang.

Shen Qing knew that he couldn't delay it any longer.

After he settled his uncle and aunt, he changed into a clean official uniform and walked towards the location of the Military and Horse Department.

When he arrived at the Bingma Si Yamen Office, it was already crowded.

Shen Qing did not stay in the first hospital and went directly to the third hospital.

At this time, the four chief officers, Wei Chengye, Zeng Weifeng, Zhao Lengyan, and Yang Henshan, had all arrived.

They were sitting around an old round table, chatting in low voices, discussing some important event.

Shen Qing gently opened the door and walked into the room.

He glanced at everyone one by one and said, "Everyone, am I not late?"

"You're here just in time, come and sit down." Wei Chengye pointed to the empty seat next to him and said.

Shen Qing was not polite. He stepped forward and directly picked up a chair and sat down. He asked curiously: "I wonder what the reason for this urgent summons from the palace is?"

Zeng Weifeng raised his head and said in a serious tone: "Today, Master Xue Zhao's body was found in the suburbs of the city. This incident has alarmed the court and your Majesty is furious!"

"Ah, there is such a thing?!" Shen Qing looked shocked and said in surprise: "I remember Master Xue is a martial artist in the Yuanshen realm. Didn't he return in triumph? Why did he die in good condition?"

Yang Henshan took over the conversation and said: "Who knows? Mr. Xue's cultivation is unfathomable. It is really puzzling that a good man is killed like this. It is simply a slap in His Majesty's face."

"Master Lan has already entered the palace to meet the Saint. We will definitely not have a good time in the future."

…

Longevity Palace.

The door is open, and the sunlight shines in through the door, reflecting a solemn and solemn scene.

Officials from the Internal Affairs Department, the Military and Horse Department, and the Mountain and River Department were urgently summoned here.

They all lowered their heads and said nothing, making the atmosphere in the hall extremely depressing.

Right in front, Ji Zikong was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a high dragon chair, with an unquestionable majesty between his brows.

His eyes were like a torch, scanning the ministers below. When everyone was in place, he spoke slowly, with a bit of suppressed anger in his voice: "Dear sirs, I have just received news that Xue Zhao, an important minister of the imperial court, was brutally killed outside the capital. The poisonous hand was killed under my nose, what do you think?"

"Bingma Division?"

Lan Gongliang stood up and said, "Wei Chen is here!"

"Any clues?"

"Weichen... Weichen also found out just now."

"Shan Hai Department, where are the Internal Affairs Department? You are responsible for letting General Xue return to the capital."

"The sin of a humble minister deserves to be punished by death. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

As the top leader of the Internal Affairs Department, He Yong, the palm eunuch, crawled on the ground and said tremblingly.

Following him, Ji Hong, the head of the Shanhai Department, also knelt on the ground to plead guilty and said: "I deserve death for my sin. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

"Hmph! Forgive me, forgive me... If I can forgive you for everything, what use do I have for you ministers?" Ji Zikong's face turned livid when he heard this, and he looked extremely unhappy.

His momentum as the best martial artist in the world suddenly erupted, sweeping through the entire hall like a violent storm.

He had astonishing control over his power, and not a single bit was leaked to the surroundings. It was all concentrated on Ji Hong, Lan Gongliang and He Yong in front of him.

This momentum is like substance, as heavy as a stone.

Under the pressure of this momentum, Ji Hong and others felt as if they were being pressed by a huge mountain, and it became difficult to breathe.

He gritted his teeth and tried his best to straighten his waist, but his body began to tremble involuntarily.

At the same time, bursts of cracking sounds were heard in the hall.

Ji Hong and others were overwhelmed by Ji Zikong's momentum, and their bones began to break.

"Check it out for me, check it out for me at all costs. I want you to give me a satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time!"

The three of them were sweating profusely and kowtowing like pounding garlic: "I obey my orders."

Ji Zikong removed the Qi machine, which relieved the three of them.

They immediately adjusted their breath and repaired the injuries in their bodies.

In the next few days, news of Xue Zhao's death quickly spread throughout the capital, causing an uproar.

The Bingma Division, the Shanhai Division, and the Internal Affairs Division, the three most powerful bureaucracies in the Great Zhou Kingdom, jointly acted and almost turned the capital and even the surrounding area into chaos.

As the instigator, Shen Qing was also forced to be involved in this storm. He led a group of policemen to patrol around every day to catch the real culprit.

However, this was destined to go nowhere.

After Shen Qing dealt with everything carelessly for a day, he returned to the Yamen as usual.

He was still sitting in the Military and Horse Office when he saw Ji Bo, the manager of the royal arsenal, coming out to look for him.

"Master Shen."

As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Ji said with a smile, just like a Maitreya Buddha.

Shen Qing was a little surprised and stood up hurriedly. He clasped his hands and said, "What kind of wind brought you here today, sir? I wonder what business Master Ji is here for?"

"Can't I just look at you if I have nothing to do?" Ji Bo said with a smile.

Shen Qing said: "My lord is joking, please sit down."

Uncle Ji took a look at Shen Qing and couldn't help but be surprised to see that his aura was restrained and natural, and that he had clearly improved his cultivation.

He opened up a chatterbox and said, "Master Shen hasn't been in the royal arsenal for a while. Are you too busy recently?"

Shen Qing let out a long sigh and said thoughtfully: "Master Ji also knows what happened in the capital recently. Since His Majesty has made a decree, naturally we can't neglect it."

Ji Bo nodded his head in approval and said, "It is true that such a big thing has happened, and there is nothing you can do about it. However, I have a good thing for you."

"Oh, I wonder what good thing the adults are talking about?"

"Recently, Your Majesty has collected a batch of martial arts from all over the world. We are just about to sort it out. At present, all the yamen are busy as headless flies. I can't find anyone to help me at the moment. So I specially asked Mr. Shen to come and help me?"

Shen Qing said: "Master Ji, I have a lot of things on my hands right now. I'm afraid I'm powerless."

"Hey, Mr. Shen, there is no need to worry. You have His Majesty's Cuiying Order. As long as you agree, I will go and tell His Majesty. At your age, it is a good time to practice. If you have been immersed in such miscellaneous things, Isn’t it such a pity among things?”

"If you come to my place, you only need to help me keep an eye on the people on the fifth floor. You can use your spiritual eyes to practice in your free time."

"Besides, this is a rare opportunity to show your face in front of His Majesty. If you can get His Majesty's guidance, even a little bit will be enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life. Don't you think so?"

When Shen Qing heard Ji Bochu say this, for some reason, he couldn't help but feel alert.

There will be no pie in the sky.

Even if there is, he doesn't believe it will fall on his head.

Shen Qing hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

"What's wrong with this? If a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

Shen Qing fell into silence.

He secretly looked at Ji Bochu a few times, and couldn't figure out what the other party was up to.

Just when Shen Qing was guessing randomly, he felt a hint of warmth in his chest.

It's the spiritual realm.

There was a message from Xiaohu.

Shen Qing apologized, "Sir, please sit for a while. I'm going to deal with some private matters first. Wait for me for a moment."

Ji Bochu said indifferently, "Sir Shen, you go first."

Seeing Shen Qing leave, he showed a bit of cunning in his eyes.

In his opinion, no one could refuse such a good thing that fell on his head.

In the back hall.

Shen Qing took out the spiritual realm, and lines of small characters appeared on it: "Xue Zhao is dead."

After a few breaths, lines of small characters appeared on the spiritual realm again: "The Taoist Master has known about this. He believes that the fate of the Great Zhou has ended, and has accelerated the actions of his subordinates. At the fastest, it will take three to five months, and at the slowest, it will take one or two years to enter the capital to attack and kill the Ji family."

"The Taoist Master is so powerful, Brother Qingzi has made arrangements early."

Shen Qing's face changed when he saw this news. He didn't expect the Huangtian Sect to act so quickly.

In this case, the situation in the capital, no, the entire Great Zhou is not good.

Thinking of the killing array encountered that day... a strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Ji Bochu in the living room, and thought to himself: "Ji Bochu came here this time just for me. He is throwing out bait to lure me into doing something dangerous. What could it be?"

"If the most direct connection between me and him is that I chose that immortal martial arts method."

"Could it be that the problem lies in this immortal martial arts method?"

Shen Qing kept reasoning in his mind, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was only one possibility.

"In this case, I can use this to get rid of these mundane affairs, and I don't have to catch myself every day, and put more energy on cultivation. I can also speed up my cultivation speed with the royal spiritual eye."

He thought about it carefully and felt that it was not wrong.

After making a decision, Shen Qing walked out of the back hall.

Ji Bochu glanced at Shen Qing and said, "Sir Shen, what do you think?"

Shen Qing pretended to be in deep thought and said with difficulty, "Since it is difficult to refuse your kindness, I will be disrespectful to refuse it. I will trouble you later, Sir Ji."

When Ji Bochu saw Shen Qing agreed, his eyes narrowed and he couldn't help showing a sly smile. (End of this chapter)
