Pawn Crossing the River

It's a pity that this floating island is the headquarters of the Gospel Ministry, and prisoners will not be detained here. Therefore, it is a small pity that Huangfu cannot take the arrested people away by the way.

After Huangfu Ji left this place, he didn't stop for a moment and returned directly to the "Dividing Water and Land".

The next moment, the "Dividing Water and Land Divine Shuttle" appeared in the sky above the King's District again.

Because Huangfu remembered something: "The traitor's home is in the King's District?"

The subordinates gave an affirmative answer and maneuvered the "Dividing Water and Land Divine Shuttle" to hover above Sun Zhongnu's residence.

As Qi Xuansu expected, Sun Zhongnu set up his house as a trap, waiting for Beichen Hall's assassins to come to his door, so he did not move, and the people inside were the bait.

There are not only his family members here, but also many elite troops from the gospel ministry.

If you follow Li Mingzhen's approach, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there is a high probability that it will be in vain.

But just as Sun Zhongnu did not expect that Qi Xuansu, the dignified lotus seat, would intercept and kill him personally, Sun Zhongnu also did not expect that Huangfu Ji, the next generation leader of Xidaomen, would do such dirty work himself.

"There is no way. Chief Qi has helped us a lot this time. We have to return the favor. I know that Yujing is very strict. There are too many Taoist priests in Huayuan. Bigger things are also on the line. So let us Xidaomen Come be this evil person and I will take the blame."

Huangfu Ji appeared outside the "Dividing Water and Land Divine Shuttle" and took a photo with one palm.

A palm fell from the sky.

The people in the house and the people lurking outside the house didn't know what happened yet.

In response to those words, what does destroying you have to do with you?

It wasn't until the violent whistling sound came that no one looked up and looked up.

All I saw was a palm that covered the sky and filled the sky with clouds.

This is the last scene in this life.

The next moment, the ground shook violently, and the entire building was razed to the ground, as if it had been directly wiped away, leaving only a simple and huge palm print.

Huangfu was too lazy to take another look, but turned to look in the direction of Shangcheng District.

Almost at the same time, "Fengyan Jiaer" finally exploded.

Because it exploded inside the floating island, there was a layer of buffer, so the visual effect was not as shocking as a direct explosion, but it was still shocking.

In an instant, many clearly visible huge cracks appeared all over the floating island, and dazzling bright lights shot out from the cracks. Then more and more cracks became more and more, and finally connected together, causing the floating island to begin to break and disintegrate, becoming more and more A lot of strong light spurted out, engulfing the entire floating island from the inside out.

There seems to be a bright sun in the sky.

"The fireworks during the day are so dazzling."

Huangfuji sighed with emotion and turned around to enter the "Dividing Water and Land".

At this time, the people from Xidaomen had completed their preparations. When Huangfu Ji came back, he directly activated the "Dividing Water and Land Divine Shuttle" and it disappeared in a flash, leaving only ripples in place.

When the strong light slowly dissipated, the floating island in the upper town of St. York was permanently missing, and a huge fireball was falling downwards.

Below it is the church district in Midtown.

However, the fireball began to dissipate, split, and disintegrate on the way down, and turned into more small fireballs, like a rain of fire, which were the remains of the floating island. ….

Qi Xuansu only wanted to sink the floating island at the beginning, but he never thought of completely destroying it, which shows how powerful it is.

Fire rained down on the church district.

The spire of St. Francis Cathedral flashed, blocking most of the flames, and some of the ones that hit the ground were quickly extinguished.

For another moment, a wave of anger swept through St. York.

Joseph Norman, Cardinal, also known as Cardinal Archbishop, is second in existence only to the Pope and the Patriarch. Finally home.

The Patriarch is the leader of the Steam Gospel, and Joseph is the number two figure in the Steam Gospel. The Patriarch is the face, and Joseph is the face. As the saying goes, the face should be smooth and not dusty. As the face of the Steam Gospel, the Patriarch cannot do many things personally. For example, the Gospel Ministry is a special organization that specializes in dirty work. The Patriarch generally cannot lead it personally, so he The second person takes care of both.

In the Old World, the leader of the Inquisition was once called the "Black Pope", which also shows the power of the Inquisition. Later, the Inquisition was reorganized into the Inquisition Ministry, and Steam Gospel was changed into the Gospel Ministry, but the essence remained unchanged, so Joseph was also called the "Red Patriarch".

Now, the headquarters of the gospel ministry led by him has been blown up.

He stared intently at the blank area where a floating island should have been, filled with anger but nowhere to vent it.

The people around Joseph were silent, not daring to say a word for fear of being offended. The embarrassed Milton arrived in a hurry. Because time was short, although Huangfuji defeated Milton, he did not kill him. Naturally, Milton would not stay on the floating island and die on the island, and escaped anyway. come out.

Joseph looked at Milton, with a pair of faint green eyes like a demon: "Milton, you have to give me an explanation and give the cardinal an explanation."

Milton hurriedly said: "It's Huangfu Ji from Xidaomen. I can't stop so many people by myself."

"Where are the people! Where have all the people gone?" Joseph, like an old lion, tried his best to suppress his rage, "Where have all the people from the Gospel Ministry gone?"

Milton answered bravely: "Most of them have been sent out to arrest the chief of Beichen Hall."

"What about the chief? After sending so many people out, have you caught the chief?" Joseph continued to ask, "After paying such a high price, there must be something gained, right?"

Milton could only reply: "The target has been locked, and I believe there will be results soon."

"That means we didn't catch it." Joseph said coldly.

Milton was speechless.

In any case, Milton was one of his own, a cardinal priest recognized by the Holy See. Joseph could not really do anything to him. He turned to ask: "Where are the people on the city council? When such a thing happens, they are just Are you watching?"

Milton breathed a sigh of relief: "As far as I know, Speaker Sophia is chasing another heretic at sea, and has mobilized a large number of steam elite teams, giving the city council an excuse for insufficient strength. And when something like this happens, Naturally, it is the responsibility of the majority party in power. The minority party will only laugh at it and will not help them clean up the mess. "

Joseph was silent for a moment, calming down his anger, and then asked: "Have you confirmed the position of the chief of Beichen Hall?"...

"Yes." Milton quickly replied, "His destination is the San Antonio Mission. We will definitely be able to stop him."

Joseph's tone was cold: "I hope so."

At the same time, both Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang were rushing to the San Antonio Mission. The combination of the three was Qi Xuansu's full glory.

As for Sophia who was following Wu Niang, she did catch up with Wu Niang. However, there is a problem that often arises in chasing and escaping. Although the pursuers have a large number of people, they are bound to be uneven. Some people are quick. Some people are slow. Once the distance is extended, they no longer hold together, but become a long snake formation. The fast people have already caught up, while the slow people are still far away. The fast people will fall into a situation of fighting alone.

The same is true for Sophia. She did catch up with Wu Niang, but she did it alone. This was her mistake. After a fight between the two, Sophia was defeated and had to return to St. York.

Even if she was not injured in Wu Niang's hands, she still had to go back. After all, something like this had just happened in St. York, and as the speaker, she could not absolve herself of the blame.

Returning to St. York, she not only had to face Joseph's questioning, but also faced the pressure of the minority party headed by Leopold. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his troops.

Wu Niang, who had no pursuers, naturally had to join Qi Xuansu.

Of course, Qi Xuansu also noticed that the people in the Gospel Ministry were gradually closing the net. It's not that everything will be fine if he evades one interrogation, but that after repeated interrogations, the scope is constantly narrowed and the target is finally determined.

The closer Qi Xuansu gets to the San Antonio Mission, the harder it becomes to conceal his identity, but Qi Xuansu is not afraid, because Xidaomen's decision to take action has both advantages and disadvantages. Needless to say, the disadvantage is that it goes against Qi Xuansu's original intention of coming to the New World. However, the advantage is that when Xidaomen sends people deep into the New World, they must send troops to the border to support them. The closer Qi Xuansu is to the border, the closer he is to his own people.

San Antonio is the nearest large city to the junction of the north and the south, which is beneficial to Qi Xuansu. If there is any conflict, the people from Xidaomen will be there soon.

In any case, Xidaomen still has requests from Daomen, and it is impossible to let Qi Xuansu, the special envoy of Daomen, die in the New World.

In a sense, reaching Qi Xuansu's status, coupled with the various complex relationships he is involved in, has made him a member of the top echelons of the Taoist sect, that is, one of his own, even more powerful than a real person like Wang Jiaohe. Be closer.

The decision-making level of the Taoist sect is also composed of people, and it must be based on emotions. It was really difficult to explain the emotions after Qi Xuansu died.

The most that ordinary people's family members can do is cry, make a fuss, and send someone to comfort them. It's no big deal.

It's just that Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu, these family members are not lonely women who can be dismissed casually. They have great energy and are very reasonable. It would be difficult for anyone to block the door and ask for an explanation. After all, Taoism is about unity. This is never an empty talk. Don't do things that are not conducive to unity. This kind of thing is not easy to forcefully suppress. It will destroy unity.

Moreover, when such a big living person was sent out, he died because of one of his own. Whether it was Qi Xuansu’s direct boss Qingwei Zhenren or Qi Xuansu’s old boss Donghua Zhenren, they had to come forward to ask for an explanation and uphold justice. .

To put it bluntly, if you regard the Taoist clan as a big family, do you really think that this family has no head man? Whoever can uphold justice for his family will have more reason to fight for the power of the family.

In addition, Master Cihang can be considered as half an elder, so the attitudes of the three princes of the Taoist sect are unified, and the three elders above cannot object. This must be the attitude of the Taoist sect.

If you fall in love, you will lose money, and the amount will be huge. This is something Xidaomen doesn't want to see.

Therefore, Xidaomen must protect Qi Xuansu's safety. This is an unquestionable premise.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu did not just take risks blindly, but did so after seeing it clearly.
