Pawn Crossing the River

If these seven people are rivals in the world, then Qi Xuansu will definitely kill him without mercy. However, these seven people are Taoist priests of Quanzhen Taoism, and they are at the gate of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, so Qi Xuansu has to be cautious. Hands, so as not to give others a handle and let yourself fall into passivity.

After Qi Xuansu deposed one person, the "Seven Luminous Star Formation" that required seven people to work together was broken. The remaining six people could not hide their panic and were at a loss.

Zhang Yongyan's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tiantianren?"

This is the strength of the aristocratic family. He is well-informed. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has always seen pigs running away.

Qi Xuansu smiled lightly and said: "What a good insight. I am indeed in the stage of heaven and human beings."

Generally speaking, most of the fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priests are at the stage of returning to their true nature, while the third-grade Youyi Taoist priests are those who have the cultivation level of heavenly beings. In Zhang Yongyan's view, Qi Xuansu is probably at the stage of returning to his true nature, but he has climbed up to the Yao family. Only big trees have such status. So he didn't hesitate to call in men, and what he wanted was to capture this person. Yao Pei will definitely be offended afterwards, but several other Quanzhen Taoist families will be happy to see the results, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. As for the big shots, they don't pay attention to such trivial matters and just treat them as children's fun.

But the scene in front of him was beyond Zhang Yongyan's expectation. This kid turned out not to be in the Guizhen stage, but in the Xiaoyao stage. The Guizhen stage and the Xiaoyao stage were not only as simple as a small stage difference, but also The difference between the two major stages of innate man and heavenly man, in the words of Westerners, has already undergone a qualitative change. In the words of Easterners, it is otherworldly. Even Qi Xuansu himself, before he obtained the "God's Mysterious Jade", had no choice but to run for his life when encountering heavenly beings.

Therefore, the manpower brought by Zhang Yongyan is completely insufficient.

Just when Zhang Yongyan was at a loss, he suddenly heard the footsteps of a large group of people, which became increasingly clear from far to near.

Qi Xuansu just stood with his hands behind his back and did not run away.

After a while, a group of spiritual officers appeared at the end of the mountain road. At a glance, this team of spiritual officers numbered at least two hundred people. Because they came from the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, they started directly as sixth-grade spiritual officers, and there were about forty fifth-grade spiritual officers among them. They were connected with black armor. A line is like a line of black tide.

The leader is a third-grade spiritual officer, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Walking at the front, he was tall and frightening.

Following the order from the third-grade spiritual officer, a group of spiritual officers surrounded all those involved in the fight and did not let anyone go.

Zhang Yongyan's face softened slightly, and he even looked a little happy.

Can you let an outsider bully you in front of your own home? Since the manpower he brought is not enough, he will use the public sword to kill people. If this person dares to resist and fight back, then he will be labeled as fighting against the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Quanzhen Taoism, and Taoist sects, and he will be suppressed on the spot.

Zhang Yongyan walked towards the third-grade spiritual officer and said warmly: "Old Zhu, why did I alert you?"

"Master Zhang." Zhu Lingguan bowed his hand to Zhang Yongyan.

Zhang Yongyan immediately showed a smile: "Lao Zhu, you are here, come and take down this thief with me."

Zhu Lingguan did not accept his words. He turned to look at Qi Xuansu and cupped his hands again: "Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu looked at him questioningly and nodded.

Zhang Yongyan realized something was wrong, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

Zhu Lingguan slowly looked at Zhang Yongyan with a solemn expression: "According to the order of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Zhang Yongyan will be escorted to Taiyi Temple. The rest of the people will all be taken to the third hell prison under the jurisdiction of Wanshou Chongyang Palace to identify their identities, confess their crimes, and wait. Fa Luo. Mr. Zhang, please come with me."

Taiyi Temple is the Taoist temple where Zhang Yongyan’s father, Zhang Jiaoling, lives.

Has Zhang Yongyan ever been so shocked? He was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhu Lingguan in confusion. However, Qi Xuansu exhaled his slightly lifted breath.

"What did you say?" Zhang Yongyan listened to every word, but was unwilling to believe his ears. He opened his eyes wide and stared directly into Zhu Lingguan's eyes, asking word by word.

Zhu Lingguan said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, we are also under orders to do something. Please don't embarrass us and just come with us."

As he spoke, he stretched out his black-armored palm and moved it in the direction of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace on the mountain.

"Who gave the order? Who gave the order?" Zhang Yongyan couldn't help but roar, "Bring me a sealed warrant, how dare you take me!?"

At this moment, a voice said: "No need for a warrant, I'm here in person."

After the words fell, the spiritual officials separated a line of passage, and one person walked over.

It was Yao Pei.

Zhang Yongyan's voice stopped suddenly, and looking at Yao Pei's expressionless face, he felt a little bit creepy.

Zhu Lingguan respectfully moved aside and came to Yao Pei's side, one position behind him.

Yao Pei did not rush to pay attention to Zhang Yongyan, but first glanced at the wounded on the ground and said calmly: "You really give us Quanzhen Taoism a face."

The wounded who were still wailing and moaning in pain suddenly lost their voices. No matter how painful they were, they endured it.

Yao Pei then looked at Zhang Yongyan: "First he took many beauties on a trip, and then he openly gathered them to commit murder. Fellow Taoist Zhang really did not disappoint me. It's really good."

Zhang Yongyan's face was pale, and there were even large beads of sweat on his forehead, but he still stammered and explained: "When did we commit the murder? It was clearly this person who committed the murder on us. The wounds all over the place are proof of this."

Yao Pei interrupted: "Very good, Zhu Lingguan, take all these people back, interrogate them separately, and question them slowly until their confessions are consistent. I don't believe that so many people are the same."

Zhu Lingguan said loudly: "Yes."

Zhang Yongyan's expression immediately changed. The men he brought were either tight-lipped dead men or a group of rioters. There was no need to torture them to extract confessions. In order to get away with the crime and meritorious service, they would probably tell the truth before anyone asked.

So Zhang Yongyan changed his words and said: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. We started fighting just because we disagreed. This should be regarded as a private fight."

Yao Pei said calmly: "How to determine it is up to you."

"You!" Zhang Yongyan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Yao Pei.

Yao Pei didn't even raise his eyelids, he just ordered: "Take all these people away."

Zhu Lingguan waved his hand, and every two Lingguan carried one wounded person. He moved quickly and quickly took away the wounded. As for the unlucky guy with most of his bones broken, he was carried out on a stretcher by four Lingguan.

These wounded people were all Taoist priests of Quanzhen Taoism, and they naturally cried out that they were wronged when they were taken away.

Yao Pei was unmoved and didn't even look at them. He just waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, go to the Third Hell to talk to them."

In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Yongyan was left standing alone.

At this time, Zhang Jiaoling was not in the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, so Zhang Yongyan felt that the sky was not responding and the earth was not working.

Yao Pei put his hands behind his back and stopped talking.

Zhu Lingguan took a step forward and extended his hand again: "Master Zhang, please."

"I want to see the Earth Master!" Zhang Yongyan finally recognized the reality and muttered as he walked up the mountain, "I was wronged, I want to see the Earth Master!"

Yao Pei waved his hand again, signaling the other spiritual officials to retreat.

Only two people remained.

Qi Xuansu asked tentatively: "Have you expected this?"

Yao Pei did not answer directly, but said: "I said, Zhang Yongyan will not let me down."

Qi Xuansu paused and said, "That's good."

Yao Pei said: "I want to thank you too. I have long wanted to punish this group of misbehaving family members, but there is no reason for it at the moment. Now that they have come to my door, I can't help them anymore."

Qi Xuansu smiled without comment.

Sure enough, neither Zhang Yuelu nor Yao Pei had a fuel-efficient lamp.

Speaking of Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu should leave as soon as possible, and after settling the matter in Shuzhou, go to Yujing.

You know, not only is Zhang Yuelu waiting for him in Yujing, not only is Master Donghua waiting for him, but there is also Master Cihang who wants to see him.

Different from Master Donghua, Master Donghua’s matters are business matters, and business affairs can be handled in an official manner. But the matter of Master Cihang is a private matter, so it is difficult to say.

Qi Xuansu vaguely remembers a saying that a young person will succeed in becoming a big person.

So in a sense, this is a big test and there is no room for sloppiness.

So Qi Xuansu stopped staying, said goodbye to Yao Pei for the third time, and went down the mountain.
