Pawn Crossing the River

Under normal circumstances, in major towns, celestial beings would not fly easily. It's too ostentatious and can easily be thought of as someone with evil intentions. Otherwise, why would you be flying so high? This is especially true for people in various secret societies who need to hide their identities.

But it's not absolute. For example, it's not difficult to fly briefly in the night. There is another situation, that is, if you are confident and have something to rely on, and you are not afraid of being discovered by others, then it doesn't matter.

Today's situation is not only due to the cover of night, but also due to the lack of fear.

There are many heavenly beings in Jinling Mansion, but these heavenly beings are either involved in the situation or watching from the sidelines, which involves the internal strife of the Taoist sect. When the situation is unclear, no one except insiders will take action rashly.

Even the day before the meeting began, several people had temporarily left Jinling Mansion.

For example, the Jiangnan Admiral Military Affairs Officer left Jinling Mansion in the name of inspecting local defense and now arrived at Qiantang Mansion.

There is also the real person in charge of Jiangnan Daofu. After the incident where Lei Xiaohuan ordered the siege of Mary Cathedral, he went directly to Yujing, and several deputy palace leaders left with him. This time Jinque reached a compromise with the Holy Court Cardinal, and the real person in charge also contributed to it.

As for the specific matters of the Jiangnan Province, they were naturally left to the chief deputy palace master Bai Yingqiong and the second deputy palace master Li Tianlan.

In addition, the Governor of Jiangnan went to the Jiangnan Naval Station and began a half-month inspection of coastal defense accompanied by the Admiral Military Affairs Officer of the Jiangnan Navy.

It is rainy in the summer and the flood season is approaching. The governor of Jiangzhou, who is in charge of civil affairs, has already led people to inspect the river embankments and dams, and will not return to Jinling for a while. According to Qintianjian's calculations, this year's flood peak will far exceed last year's, so in this regard, several garrison general officers and deputy garrison deputy general officers will also assist.

There are also some characters from Xianyun Yehe who have nothing to do with them and don’t even need an excuse. They can just leave.

Today's Jinling Mansion still seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact it is already a strong force on the outside and a cadre on the inside.

Just like the current Zhenwu Temple.

Zhenwu Temple was originally heavily guarded and mainly consisted of four parts. They were the spiritual officers of Jiangnan Daofu who were responsible for peripheral security. The interior is responsible for the spiritual officials of Beichen Hall, Tiangang Hall and Ziwei Hall respectively.

Today, the spiritual officers of Ziwei Hall were taken away by Lei Xiaohuan and Pei Xiaolou respectively, and the spiritual officers of Beichen Hall were transferred away by Li Mingcheng, leaving only the spiritual officers of Tiangang Hall.

Qi Xuansu immediately understood this after firing the gun as a warning, and a deep fear surged into his heart.

Without thinking, he turned around and ran towards the dungeon.

On the other side, the dungeon is isolated from the outside world. Just the sound of a gunshot can hardly alert the people in the dungeon, so the dungeon is still the same as before, with bright lights and people coming and going.

Zhang Yuelu was still sitting in front of the desk, looking at the newly obtained confession. After just reading a few lines, he felt uneasy in his heart. It is true that people in Taoist sects have whims, especially if they have practiced the "Ziwei Dou Shu", they can even have a premonition of the future by chance. It is said that Buddhists who practice "fate knowledge" can also foresee the future in dreams.

Zhang Yuelu had a whim more than once, and his premonitions were always accurate.

Zhang Yuelu placed the confession on the desk in front of him and signaled the spiritual officers on both sides to take Ye Xiu down. Then he casually took his whisk and stroked it gently like a man stroking his beard.

Ye Xiu was broken through and gave a new confession, including his business dealings with "Tian Ting" and various things he had done for Li Tianlan. Although this old Jianghu has not completely despaired, he still has some reservations, fearing that he will be abandoned like worn shoes after everything is explained, but it is only a matter of time.

Jin Que finished communicating with the cardinal, and the cardinal agreed to hand over someone. Tomorrow at the earliest, and no more than three days at the latest, he could enter the Mary Cathedral to arrest Marshal Feng. Without the support of the Holy Court, Cardinal Deacon Shi Luosi would not be able to make any big waves.

Pei Xiaolou received news that one of Li Tianlan's subordinates seemed to be unable to bear the pressure and was preparing to abscond. Pei Xiaolou had already gone to arrest him personally. Before he left, he did not forget to inform Zhang Yuelu.

No matter how you look at it, the situation is excellent, and within a few days, a major breakthrough will be made in the case. By that time, no pressure measures will work. It's like fighting on the battlefield. As long as you can win, you can suppress all conflicts, and those will be nothing. On the contrary, if you lose, all the suppressed conflicts will burst out.

However, Zhang Yuelu did not relax his vigilance because of this.

Because of these things, whether it was the confession, the arrest of Marshal Feng, or the capture of the Taoist priest in charge who was about to abscond, victory was in sight, but none of the things had been settled and sealed.

In other words, there is still a possibility of a comeback.

This is the darkness before dawn, which happens to be the darkest hour of the day.

Qi Xuansu's blunderbuss still alerted the surrounding spiritual officials in charge of the realm, but before these spiritual officials could react, they were knocked down by the sudden volley of fire blunderbuss.

Lingguan's armor is indeed very tough, but the fire blunderbuss is also unusual. They use the "Sun Shooting Long blunderbuss" and the matching "Dragon Eye Yiyi".

Such firecrackers and projectiles were of course waterproof, and they were carried on their backs by these people as they dived over.

Qi Xuansu was about to retreat into the dungeon with other spiritual officials when a figure fell from the sky and blocked the door of the dungeon. It was the man who rose from the water moon.

I saw that this man was tall and fat, as black as a hill. He was wearing a black crane cloak, but no middle coat, with his arms open, his chest and abdomen exposed. His face was broad and ears were big, his face was red, and his face was full of arrogance. There is a string of rosary beads hanging on the chest, carved to look like a human head, the size of a fist, and inlaid with various colored gems, it is very terrifying. But what really surprised Qi Xuansu was not this person's appearance, but the fact that the energy and blood around him had reached an incredible level. It is said that a person has hot blood and Qi and blood are like fire. From the perspective of the out-of-body Yin Shen, the rich Qi and blood is like the blazing sun, but under normal circumstances, Qi and blood will not be like this.

But as soon as this person stopped here, Qi Xuansu felt a rush of hot air blowing against his face, and the surrounding temperature seemed to rise a bit.

This is the manifestation of overflow of Qi and blood.

However, this is very unreasonable. Logically speaking, the body of a celestial warrior has been tempered for thousands of times, and his qi and blood are extremely condensed. His body is said to be flawless, so how can there be a leakage of qi and blood?

Although this person's Qi and blood are strong, they are not condensed, so they cannot hide them without leaking. They are loose and loose, which makes his body so fat. After all, under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for heavenly beings to control their body shape. If they cannot control it, there must be a reason.

"I'd like to teach you that a certain family is the 'Tianting' Marshal Tianpeng. I'm here today because I want to test the power of the Taoist sect." Marshal Tianpeng's voice was like thunder, and with a wave of his hand, all the spiritual officials gathered flew out.

Qi Xuansu was feeling better, his body moved back, but he felt his chest was tight and his breath was not smooth.

But in this way, the entrance to the dungeon is close at hand but far away, becoming out of reach.

Marshal Tianpeng said softly, a little surprised that Qi Xuansu was not vulnerable.

Qi Xuansu was also a decisive person and immediately turned around and fled in the other direction.

Regardless of whether Marshal Tianpeng's Qi and blood are condensed or not, the realm of heavenly beings cannot be faked. He is not an opponent and can only avoid the edge temporarily. It's a pity that the Yin Qi here is not strong, so it is impossible for him to ask the three Yin creatures to take action.

Marshal Tianpeng frowned and waved his hand instead of chasing after him personally.

His own subordinates went to hunt him down.

He turned around and looked around. At this time, the entrance to the dungeon was closed, and the formation was activated from inside.

After all, the dungeon is not an ordinary place. The formations were designed at the beginning of construction, and the materials used in the building itself are very good. The stone door that seals the entrance and exit is more than ten feet thick.

If you want to break such a stone gate, even a heavenly being will have to spend some energy.

Marshal Tianpeng laughed, walked down the steps, came to the stone door, and struck out with all his strength.

There was a loud bang, as if the surrounding ground shook violently, and a palm print with clearly visible palm prints appeared on the stone door. The palm print was centered and spread to the surrounding cracks.

The power of this palm is not insignificant, but compared with the stone gate that is more than ten feet thick, it is still far behind.

"Good guy, turtle shell."

Marshal Tianpeng did not panic or be impatient. He ordered his subordinates: "Purge the spiritual officials in the Zhenwu Temple and place the 'Fengyan Jiaba' in place."
