Heaven's Formula

Is it because of He'er herself... or because of the Tianshu envoy on her body?

When Ning Qianshi rushed to the residence, Duye Long was waiting for him at the door.

"Your Highness, please call the core members and all the high-level alchemists back to the compound immediately, I think some of them are traitors who have joined the evil forces!"

As soon as the traitor was mentioned, Ning Qianshi felt a splitting headache. Yan Qing and Yu Linglong had problems one after another, which made the Privy Council panic. Fortunately, he did not follow the example of the two and left the Privy Council. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to deal with this situation. Endgame, "Why do you say that?"

"Yu Linglong was hidden by me."

"What did you say?" Ning Qianshi stopped and looked at him in surprise.

Everyone thought that what happened before was that Sheying found this place through her own news channel, and then used her ability to sneak into Qian's room quietly—after all, Yu Linglong's name showed that she was very suitable for assassination and other tasks, and did not cause any outsiders to come. The guarding alchemist's vigilance is reasonable, but she has been hiding in the compound all this time?

"She lied to me, but... she didn't lie to me completely." Duye Taki's expression was quite complicated, and he briefly recounted the ins and outs of Yu Linglong's approach to her in Gyeonggi, "I've been thinking about her so much for a while. The reason for doing it is now understood. The reason why she asked for it and didn't wait for me to find out the situation is not because Senior Yu has a dark heart, but because I am not capable enough, and she can't tolerate a little carelessness."

"You—why didn't you say it right then?" Ning Qianshi said with a sullen face.

Regardless of whether Baihuajian's judgment is correct or not, harboring a suspect is a challenge to the authority of the Privy Council.

"Because the enemy may still be lurking in the compound." Duye Taki said without hesitation, "I was not sure of this until today - I have checked the inner room, and there is no trace of a fight or struggle. He'er She is the owner of the Xianshu Tianxia Chess Bureau, so it is impossible for her to be hijacked without any resistance. The person who took her away must be someone she is familiar with, which made He'er lose her guard."

This is true, although Duye Taki and the others don't know about the Tianshu envoy, they still know about He'er's celestial skills.Ning Qianshi had indeed given her a lot of life-saving magic weapons, even if it was an alchemist at the guardian level, if he approached her without knowing it, he would suffer a dark loss.

The second prince walked into the residence and confirmed that the situation in the room was consistent with what the other party said, "So you think it was done by evil forces, and this person is also a senior member of the Privy Council?"

"Exactly!"

Ning Qianshi stared at Duye Taki for a long time before calling in the guards, "Send me an order to recall all the alchemists who went out to perform missions—including the core members."

"As ordered!"

Dozens of homing pigeons soared from the courtyard at once and flew in all directions.

In the next half day, news spread to Ning Qianshi one after another.Master Xun has already confirmed that He'er left the compound and headed towards the outskirts of Huiyang City. As long as it doesn't rain, it will be a matter of time to catch up with the source of the fragrance.

The counting of the guards in the compound was also completed quickly, with no more than one less, and there was nothing suspicious from the whereabouts.

There were six high-level alchemists who went out, including Weihuang and Baizhan.Weihuang rushed back to the compound an hour after receiving the news, but there was no response from Baizhan.

Until the sun was setting, Ning Qianshi received a piece of news that made him shiver.

Layman Yunshang did not arrive at Binshui County to pick up Gan on the way home as planned. The two alchemists who accompanied him were found by front-line soldiers, but they had turned into two corpses.

"Baizhan—!" He gritted his teeth.

……

After passing through a long tunnel, a bronze door half hidden in the dirt appeared in front of Baizhan.

Unexpectedly, there are really undiscovered Yongchao ruins in Liuzhou... He thought to himself, it seems that Fei Nian really has information that he has not yet grasped.

Although he was somewhat disgusted by the need to use the techniques of the previous court, compared with the goal he wanted to achieve, this unhappiness was quickly suppressed in his heart.

He put down the unconscious crane, injected air into the disc on the door, and then held it with both hands and rotated vigorously, the bronze door opened to both sides with a bang.

Inside the door is a dusty cave.

The dust accumulated on the candlesticks is enough to prove that no one has set foot here for a long time.

Baizhan couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, could this place really replace the facilities in the Privy Council's Palace and complete the soul inheritance ceremony?

"Why are you still hesitating? Come in, there is no turning back now." Suddenly a low voice said.

Baizhan couldn't help shivering!

There is actually someone inside?

As a green sword, he didn't sense the opponent's breath at all!

The torches on the wall lit up one by one, and the dim yellow light immediately drove out the darkness.At the intersection of the shadow and the fire, Bai Zhan saw a man in black robe.

His whole body was covered under the shabby hooded robe, making it difficult to identify him.

"Who are you!?" Bai Zhan drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Tombkeeper." The other party's voice was hoarse and old, "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, Lord Fei has been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, he turned and walked deep into the cave.

Master Fei?

Bai Zhan's heart skipped a beat, he held the crane between his arms, and followed the old man in black cautiously.

After walking dozens of steps and turning a corner, an all-too-familiar figure appeared in his eyes.

It was Fei Nian.

According to the itinerary, he should still be on his way to Liuzhou, how could he arrive at the ruins before himself?And from what the black-robed man said, he seemed to have been here for a while.

"I knew that you would choose this path." Fei Nian glanced at the crane in his hand, and said with a slight smile, "It's never a mistake to want to become stronger. Since you are willing to do everything, I will not let you down." your expectations."

Chapter 472 Inheritance

"So you joined the evil spirit." Bai Zhan stared at Fei Nian and said, "When did it happen?"

Combining the other party's report and Yu Linglong's rhetoric, he was able to confirm that the person in front of him was a pawn for the evil forces to infiltrate the Privy Council.

Then recommend Fei Nian's second prince?

If even the key figures who initially maintained the stability of the Privy Council had rebelled, wouldn't it be that their efforts for more than ten years were a joke?

"Is there any point in asking this?" Fei Nian spread his hands, "I don't think I have ever devoted myself to evil, or in other words, the art of evil is a name full of prejudice."

"What do you mean?"

"Existence is reasonable. Since the mind of a person who senses Qi belongs to heaven and earth, why can't it be chaotic?" Fei Nian grinned, "I just think that I am naturally good at this kind of thing."

"Absurd! Chaos is the combination of qi and product, and it is chaos and disorder. Do you think people and demons are the same thing?" Bai Zhan scolded.

"In the Privy Council, the two are definitely not the same thing, but when can the Privy Council represent the truth again?" Fei Nian shook his head indifferently, "If you regard the soul as Qi and the body as accumulation, people will not Is it also a combination of qi and accumulation? If the two are completely incompatible, then why can people drive this kind of power and use it to establish the seven-star system?"

"You don't imagine that the Seven Stars Privy Council has something to do with King Yong, do you?"

"Not really, but the inheritance of the Seven Stars is inseparable from the technology based on this theory." Fei Nian pulled away the cover beside him, revealing a nine-foot-high bronze device.On both sides of it is a huge box cabinet, with many pipes and brackets intertwined between the cabinets, and a stone platform carved with symbols is placed in the center. "You should be familiar with this?"

Inheritance platform.

Baizhan narrowed his eyes slightly - this thing is exactly the same as the one in the Gyeonggi General Mansion!

However, according to the Privy Council, this magic weapon should have been created by the first generation of rebel alchemists, and it must have been continuously improved by later generations.

So it is also a remnant of the Yongwang period?

"One of the major characteristics of evil spirits is that they are not limited to form. As long as the concentration of hatred is sufficient, even sand, stone and rotten wood can become a body. The inheritance platform was inspired by Yongwang and spent a lot of energy to make it. The only difference is that it strips It is the human soul." Fei Nian patted the bronze device beside him, "Since the Seven Star Privy Council denies the power of chaos, it should destroy these things together and never touch them again."

"The last question, are you from the An family or a member of the Heimen Sect?" Bai Zhan asked.

"Guess?" Fei Nian smiled.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter which one it is, they are just dead anyway."

As soon as the words fell, the sword of Layman Yunshang shot out suddenly, stabbing at Fei Nian from three directions at the same time - after the battle with Gan, he had a new understanding of swordsmanship.

The latter's complexion changed drastically, but he only had time to guard against the sword piercing his chest.

The two sword shadows that circled to the rear flashed past, and Fei Nian's hands and head flew up.

The splattered blood dyed the magic weapon a bright red!

Bai Zhan didn't forget the man in black robe either, he made up two more swords and stabbed the man in black robe who was trying to escape.The touch from the other end of the blade was a bit weird, as if it hit a piece of dead wood, but the effect was real. The man in black groaned and fell to the ground, with dirty black blood dripping from his body.

Bai Zhan walked over and picked up the hood, and underneath it looked like a withered corpse.

He nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked towards the bronze device.

As the second-best candidate, he has also received the operation training of the inheritance platform. With this thing, he can complete the inheritance ceremony independently, and Fei Nian is not a necessity at all.

Probably the evil forces are planning to win over the Tianshu envoys as their own, in order to further expand their influence in the Seven Stars.It's a pity that Baizhan has no interest in being the enemy's pawn, and getting rid of the two can be regarded as a contribution to the Privy Council.

Soon he found a stack of soul-gathering talismans in the storage box of the inheritance platform, which were also the raw materials for activating the magic weapon-now everything is ready, only the east wind is needed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Suddenly there was a scream from behind.

He'er woke up slowly at this time, the first thing that caught her eyes was Fei Nian's bleeding head.

"Don't be afraid, the ones who died are nothing more than those who are foolish." Baizhan grabbed He'er, who was retreating, and carried her to the green-spotted cabinet, "You have been imprisoned for a long time, it is time Set you free."

"What about Ning Qianshi...?" He'er's voice suddenly changed, as if it was a different person.

"I know you want to see him for the last time, but unfortunately, I can't satisfy you..." Bai Zhan put He'er into the box, "Time is running out for me."

There was an extremely complicated look in He'er's eyes.

There is disappointment, sadness, pity, and a sense of loss.

She seemed to have a lot of things to question Bai Zhan, but she couldn't say a word. In the end, she just sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Don't hurt He'er."

Bai Zhan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, "Yes, Master Tianshu."

Then he closed the box door.

……

"Your Highness, the source of the smell is in this cave!" Master Sunda reported.

That night, the tracker determined the whereabouts of Layman Yunshang. Ning Qianshi immediately took action and mobilized a thousand-man light cavalry team plus fifty alchemists to surround the place with a radius of five miles. All villages and towns and intersections were closed. The core members even came out in full force, just to arrest Baizhan and rescue the Tianshu envoy.

To be honest, Ning Qianshi was a little surprised to hear the news so quickly. He thought that the other party would run all the way, as far as he could, but he didn't expect to even leave Liuzhou.

"Others stay outside, Weihuang, Duyelong and I go in together."

After the second prince finished speaking, he stepped into the cave first.

Wei Huang and Du Ye Long looked at each other, and followed them into the cave.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a faint fire appeared ahead.

A bronze door was half-opened at the end, and the candlesticks and torches inside the door were still burning, as if someone inside had been waiting for their arrival.Seeing this familiar bronze door, Ning Qianshi had a bad feeling in his heart.

"This is...the ruins of the Eternal Dynasty?" Duye Taki asked in surprise, "The Privy Council has never been marked in Liuzhou."

"It should have slipped through the net." Weihuang replied in a deep voice, "King Yong spent a lot of time building in the last few years, and even several mines were hollowed out. No one knows how many such things he built."

"Since it is related to King Yong, it proves that he is related to the evil forces. Everyone, be careful." Duye Taki warned, "Your Highness, you should stay behind. If there is any danger, we will be able to deal with it better."

Ning Qianshi did not refuse. It is true that his combat ability is the lowest here, and he is fine against ordinary people. If the opponent is Qingjian, the situation will be completely different.

"If you have to confront Baizhan later, remember not to hold back."

"Of course, the opponent is Qingjian, and is known for his aggressive swordsmanship, so I naturally—" Before Duye Taki finished speaking, he felt a black shadow galloping towards the ground.

He draws his sword and flies!

And the black shadow seemed to know that he would do this, turned slightly at a very small angle, and pierced Weihuang's side obliquely upwards.

Chapter 473

Weihuang's face turned pale from the severe pain of being pierced at the waist, she clutched the wound tightly, swayed twice and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Bai Zhan's figure also appeared at the border of the shadow.

"I'm sorry, I heard what you said. I'm in a very disadvantageous situation with a three-on-one, so I can only strike first." He said lightly, "But don't worry, although this blow will cause great pain, it will still cause great pain. Timely treatment will not kill you. I guess there should be many alchemists outside to support you?"

"You... think that this little pain... can stop me from performing the spell?" Weihuang gritted her teeth, and touched the medicine bag with a trembling hand.

Duye Taki also aimed his sword at Baizhan, but he was caught in a dilemma. Now that he rushed to fight Baizhan, the severely injured Qingjian and the second prince had no one to protect him.And the sword just now was really weird, the other party seemed to have an insight into what he was thinking.

"Are you really going to attack the Tianshu envoy?" Bai Zhan suddenly snapped.

"You said - what?" Duye Taki couldn't help being stunned.

The second prince's complexion suddenly turned pale, "Are you...in this kind of place..."

"Didn't expect that there would be an inheritance platform covered in dust in this Yongwang ruins." Baizhan stretched out his hand, "Look, this is the proof!"

As his words fell, a virtual chessboard appeared in front of everyone.

The three of them are all too familiar with this technique.

It is "World Chess Game"!

"What do you mean... Isn't this He'er's fairy art? What does it have to do with Tianshu envoy?" Duye Taki frowned.

Weihuang closed her eyes sadly.

"The second prince is not the real Tianshu envoy," Baizhan slowly revealed a secret that only the elders knew, "After the First World War in Wanjinglou, the soul of the Tianshu envoy has been living in He'er, and the pain and suffering continued. For more than ten years, now, for her, she is finally freed."

"I don't think that a person who is in collusion with evil forces is qualified to be a Tianshu envoy," Baihuajian said coldly, "At first I just suspected that you and Fei Nian were colluding to murder Yu Linglong, but when I saw this bronze ruins, I More sure of this—"
