Chapter 558 – A Message from the State Master

The moment the dragon vein detached from its host, Pure Heart seemed to sense it and looked up at the beams of the room.

The others looked up and saw the translucent and half-real dragon qi, unlike the scattered small strands of dragon qi, the nine vital dragon qi could be seen.

The complete form of the dragon vein, when it was first drawn away from the ground, the people of the capital city who had witnessed it knew no bounds.

But after finding a host, the dragon’s breath is not visible.

Xu Qi’an was prepared for this, and through his robe, he gently snapped the fragment of the earth book hidden in his belly, his lips opening and closing as he recited the incantation.

The dragon qi that had tried to rush out of the house and leave this place was sucked by an invisible force, letting out a silent roar and unwillingly burrowing into the fragments of the earth book.

This was, in the eyes of outsiders, the Dragon Qi automatically choosing Xu Qi’an to become the host.

This dragon qi of Chai Xian’s drilled into the fragment of the Earth Book and immediately merged with the other dragon qi inside, the length of his body didn’t change, but it became more solid.

At the same time, Xu Qi’an’s “radar” range has grown exponentially, and now covers one-third of Xiangzhou City.

“It would be nice to cover one-third of Xiangzhou.”

He muttered impractically, then looked over at Chai Xian and sighed.

For Chai Hsien, the truth of patricide and the killing of innocents, especially Er Ya’s family of three, was too harsh, and when he realized that everything was his own doing, he developed a death wish in his heart.

As for Xu Qi’an, the split personality is not a subjective crime and cannot be equivocated, but the small village extermination case was Chai Xian’s doing, and a psychotic killing is still a killing, and the damage caused will not change.

He didn’t forgive Chaehyun because of his mental illness.

Based on this complex psychology, Xu Qi’an did not stop Chai Xian from killing himself.

Chai Lan flung herself on top of Chai Xian, crying hoarsely.

Good and evil are rewarded, and the cycle of cause and effect . Xu Qi’an then looked at the other culprit and asked:

“Chai Xing’er, who is your superior?”

Chai Xing’er shook her head:

“I don’t know, it’s a rule of the Tianji Palace that subordinates don’t know the identity of their superiors. Between the upper and lower ranks, they communicate with each other by letter, and if there is an urgent matter, they will send a letter via carrier pigeon.

“There is a carrier pigeon right in the residence, if senior wants to know who the superior is, he can track the pigeon. I haven’t tried to explore the identity of my superior, but I guess that the destination of the carrier pigeon is most likely not my superior’s residence.”

Subordinates do not know the identity of their superiors, but superiors most likely know the identity of their subordinates and are responsible for searching for information on which region Xu Qi An mused:

“No other emergency contacts?”

Chai Xing’er shook her head.

This is to prevent any undercover agent from falling into the hands of the enemy and being uprooted and implicated. The disadvantage is that it’s easy to cause a lag in intelligence. Xu Qi’an continued:

“Tell us a little bit about the Tianji Palace.”

“The secret agents of the Tianji Palace are divided into nine ranks, and I am a fifth rank secret agent. The subordinates are two fourth grade secret agents, both in Zhangzhou. I don’t know the subordinates of the subordinates. It’s the same rule of the Tianji Palace that you can only know the identity of your immediate subordinates.”

Chai Xing’er did not make any concealment, and under the power of the commandment, she truthfully told the information.

They’re all small minions, not worth wasting energy and time searching for, but it’s Chai Xing’er’s superior who deserves my hand . Xu Qi An thought of this and glanced at the Buddhist monks .

No, we have to leave Zhangzhou as soon as possible, Duo Nang Vajra is coming as soon as he says so, and there may still be a Lohan, so it’s not a good idea to stay here for a long time.

“How did you become a Dark Sons of the Tian Ji Palace?”

Xu Qi’an asked the last question, he was mainly curious about how the darksiders were cultivated and how they could take in darksiders who willingly committed suicide.

This is something that both Lord Wei and the Improper Man-child are industry leaders in.

Wei Gong is dead, can not ask again. The son of the improper man is eager to ask him to ask, and give him the opportunity to give him a “loving father in the hands of the sword, the wandering son on the body to split”.

Xu Qi’an could only use this roundabout way.

Heng Yin folded his hands and said, “No deceit.”

The time for the commandment had passed and he was required to recast it.

Chai Xing’er resisted inwardly, but her mouth was honest: “It was ten years ago, I hadn’t yet left the court, I was just the eldest miss of the Chai residence. In the height of summer that year, I was practicing in the courtyard when I suddenly heard someone laugh and say, The little girl has good qualifications .”

“That was the first time I saw the Palace Master, he was dressed in white like snow, standing in the courtyard in a dignified manner, while the maids around him turned a blind eye to him.”

Not the son of a man?

Xu Qi’an frowned, with Xu Pingfeng’s status and position, visiting a jianghu power like the Chai family this was unreasonable. It was even more unlikely that he would show up just because Chai Xing’er had good qualifications.

Chai Xing’er continued, “When I questioned him about who he was, he said that he had come to look for treasure.”

“Treasure hunting?”

Chai Xing’er nodded:

“The ancestor of the Chai family was originally a slave in the southern border, his family was exterminated when he was young and his enemies sold him into slavery. Afterward, he learned his trade and returned to Xiangzhou, which led to the present Chai family.

“To this day, few people know why the Chai family was exterminated back then, and why the ancestors were sold to the southern border.”

After a pause, Chai Xing’er’s face was serious as she said:

“The Chai family was originally a tomb guardian, guarding a large tomb that was ages old. Later, for some unknown reason, they gave up their status as tomb guardians and established the family in Xiangzhou. The reason why the family was tragically destroyed back then was because someone was trying to hit on that great tomb.

“It is reasonable to say that the identity of the Chai Family’s tomb keeper is not known to the outside world, perhaps there was a traitor in the family who leaked it out, these were more than a hundred years ago, the details of which I am not clear about.”

The Great Tomb?

Xu Qi’an’s big tomb phobia was coming back.

That underground palace outside of Yongzhou City had given him a deep psychological shadow.

“And then? Hsu.”

Xu Qi’an cleared his throat and said, “That white-robed man went into the Great Tomb?”

The Buddhist monks also seemed to be concerned about this matter and listened patiently.

Chai Xing’er shook her head: ”The Chai family only has half of the map of the Great Tomb, and the other half is in the hands of the Southern Border Corpse Compass Ministry. The Palace Master only took away the Chai Family’s portion of the map, and I wouldn’t know what happened afterward.

“After that, I became a secret son of the Heavenly Chance Palace, and I can have the achievements and cultivation I have today because of the cultivation given by the Heavenly Chance Palace over the years.”

A great tomb that could make Xu Pingfeng care was bound to have something extraordinary inside. Half of the map was in the hands of the Corpse Compass Ministry, so Xu Pingfeng hadn’t entered the Great Tomb yet?

Also, the map is in the hands of the Corpse Compass Ministry, which means that the map was in the hands of the young Chai family ancestor back then?

If that was the case, how could he have been sold to the Southern Border as a slave, it doesn’t make sense ah Xu Qi’an pondered for a moment and said, “What else do you know about the Great Tomb?”

“The existence of the Great Tomb is only known to the Chai Family’s Family Head. If it weren’t for the Palace Master, I wouldn’t have known about this secret.”

“Why would he tell you this secret?”

“The Palace Master said that in order to open the Great Tomb, the blood of the Tomb Keeper is needed as a medium.”

Therefore, Xu Pingfeng had developed Chai Xing’er of the Chai Mansion as a covert pawn, as a pawn in the chessboard . Xu Qi An did not ask any more questions, turning to look at Jing Xin and Jing Yuan, saying:

“Soon, the superiors of the Tianji Palace will come to the Chai Mansion, so all of you masters take care of yourselves.”

He summoned the Floating Pagoda and dragged it in his palm, the door of the first layer of the pagoda opened and the cyclone rolled, sucking Chai Xing’er into it and subduing her in the second layer.

Then, he pressed Li Ling Su and Heng Yin’s shoulders and turned into a shadow to leave the Chai Mansion.

The inner hall fell silent.

Pure Heart looked out the door into the dreary night, folded his hands, and recited a Buddha’s name.

The Buddhist monks who didn’t kill us exhaled, grateful and confused.

“Senior Brother Pureheart, what should we do now?” A monk asked.

Pure Heart glanced at the unconscious Pure Edge and said in a slow voice:

“Senior Brother Pure Edge needs to recuperate, so let’s stay in the Chai Mansion for now and wait for Senior Uncle Du Nang to arrive.”

When he finished speaking, he swept a glance at Chai Lan, he still had to keep the Chai family, this was the condition for Buddha’s son to spare them.    Only this was an unspoken word between intelligent people, there was no need to say it out loud.

Outside the city, in the darkness of the night, Xu Qi’an and Li Lingsu, as well as the puppet Heng Yin, walked out onto the official road, facing the piercing cold wind.

The saintly son kept his head down, his heart heavy, and did not say a word.

Xu Qi’an scoffed as he eyed the front:

“Not to be held back by love, not to be trapped by love, to reach the level of transcendent overlooking, is to be too superior to forget love. You say that Li Miaozhen is following the evil path, that she would give up the world for one person, what about you?”

Li Lingsu raised his head violently and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to retort or explain, but in the end, he returned to silence.

After an interval, he whispered, “I don’t know.”

Xu Qi’an switched places for a moment and realized that if it were himself, he would be similarly torn in this way, so he didn’t mock him anymore.

Li Lingsu asked, “What does Senior intend to do with In the Apricot?”

Xu Qi’an said bluntly, “Combing the case from the beginning, why do you think Chai Xing’er invited all the heroes, as well as the government, to hold the Demon Slaughtering Conference?”

Li Ling Su is smart: “Control Chai Xian and stifle the hits.”

“That’s right, she stimulated Chai Xian in order to kill Chai Jianyuan, and the subsequent escape of Chai Xian from the Chai Mansion and the killing spree in Xiangzhou was mostly not in her expectations and belonged to the unplanned.

“Or she wanted to remedy the situation, or she didn’t want things to get out of hand, so she called the Demon Slaughter Conference for that reason. In other words, the Demon Slaughter Conference was not in her original plan.”

Chai Xing’er’s plan is actually very simple, to use the secret of her birth to stimulate Chai Xian to kill Chai Jianyuan as a way to avenge her husband’s murder. Then she used Chai Lan as a threat to control Chai Xian.

But that night, Chai Xian directly killed his way out of the Chai Mansion. Although she kept Chai Xian, the subsequent murders were beyond Chai Xing’er’s plan, and in order to stifle the deterioration, she convened a demon slaying conference.

This case is more troublesome than the cases Xu Qi’an used to investigate.

“I still want to learn more about the Heavenly Qi Palace, and in addition, that great tomb will have to be explored when I have the chance in the future.” Xu Qi’an said.

Li Lingsu waited for a moment without waiting for a follow-up and frowned, “So?”

I gave her a death sentence Xu Qi’an said, “Your little concubine won’t die for a while.”

That tomb was definitely dangerous, Chai Xing’er could be used as a tool person in the future, if she died inside, it was her fate. If she doesn’t die, he will waste Chai Xing’er’s cultivation and let Li Ling Su bring her back to the Heavenly Sect to be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

Li Lingsu exhaled with a complicated expression and changed the topic, “Although the Buddhist Sect is annoying, there is still a bottom line, the Chai Family should be fine.”

Xu Qi’an let out a “hmmm”, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and with an odd expression, he reached into his pocket and fished out a talisman.

The talisman emitted a faint shimmering light in the darkness of the night.

Immediately after, Li Ling Su heard a soft and pleasant voice:

“Where are you?”

A small town on the border of Qingzhou and Yongzhou, where the cold wind rolled through the streets and lanes, emitting a mournful whimpering sound.

Dressed in a colorful, dark-skinned beguiling tansy, he stepped into the dingy, urine-smelling alleyway, and he leaned over, spreading his palms over the hole in the wall.

A large, gray rat burrowed out of the hole in the wall and jumped into his palm.

Kilhuan Tanuka turned her head sideways, listening to something, and in a moment, putting the mouse back into the hole in the wall, she raised her head and said:

“My friend told me that the kid just came through here.”

Under the moonlit night, six silhouettes stood on the eaves on both sides of the alley.

In the center was a young man with a smile on his face, giving an image of gentleness and modesty.

He laughed, “Worthy of being a Dragon Vein Host, he has great luck and always manages to escape from us. Yuanfang sister, see which way he escaped.”

Xu Yuanfang’s pupils flashed with clear light as he gazed into the distance and saw a flash of golden light in the distant southeast.

“It’s the direction of Yongzhou.” She said faintly.

Old Taoist Banana Leaf squinted his eyes, made a lookout, and laughed:

“That kid isn’t strong, but he’s good at all the dirty tricks, well, he’s a casual cultivator who has been crawling around in the jianghu. The Yongzhou side is organizing a martial arts conference, most likely he wants to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf and settle us.”

On their way to Yongzhou, they met a Dragon Qi Host, the kid’s cultivation wasn’t strong, a seventh-grade Refined God Realm.

The intuition was uncanny, the tricks were so many that it was a headache, and they managed to escape narrowly and narrowly at their hands every time.

Willow Red Cotton from Ten Thousand Flowers House twisted her waist and said with a smile, “Wouldn’t it be just right that the trip to Yongzhou might be even more rewarding than we thought.”

She glanced at Ji Xuan in deep thought and seemed to have something on her mind, and winkingly smiled:

“Little City Lord, why are you so preoccupied. Why don’t you let my slave relieve your worries tonight?”

Ji Xuan laughed bitterly, “Good sister, don’t make fun of me, who doesn’t know your Liu Hongmu’s reputation as a serpentine beauty. On the contrary, Yuanhuai is still a child chicken, just right for you to temper.”

Xu Yuanhuai’s face was cold.

Liu Hongmong swept her gaze over the showy girl and hid her mouth as she laughed softly, “I’m just afraid that someone will tear the slave.”

Xu Yuanfang snorted coldly.

Ji Xuan said, “I’m just wondering if the State Master still has a backhand.”

The crowd looked over.

“Whether it’s the Buddhist Sect, the Heavenly Monitors, or even the Witch God Sect, all of them have third-ranked experts participating in the collection of dragon qi this time. We’re the only ones who don’t… With the wisdom of the State Master, you can’t calculate this?”

Ji Xuan stroked his chin, “To say that he doesn’t have a backhand, I don’t believe it.”

Xu Qi’an held the talisman and responded, “He is on his way to Yongzhou.”

He opened his mouth as if to say something else, but finally fell silent.

“Be at Yongzhou City in three days.”

“Good.”

The light of the talisman went out.

Here it comes, here it comes, the State Master has come to sleep with me . Xu Qi’an thought with mixed emotions.

“Elder, which one was it just now?”

Li Ling Su was surprised that the woman’s voice was extraordinarily moving.

“Just a woman of mediocre posture.”

Xu Qi’an also vanished in front of the Holy Son.

Unfortunately, it seems that Xu Qian’s taste is somewhat unique, do not love beautiful people, specializing in mediocre women Li Lingsu “Oh” a sound, did not ask more questions.

Why doesn’t this guy continue to ask, I haven’t even begun to pretend Xu Qi’an also “hmm”, buried his head to rush.

Forced explanations don’t fit Xu Qian’s persona.

Anyway, the state master will come in three days, and it will not be too late to show the saint in front of people then, so as to tell the scum of the Heavenly Sect to see what is a high quality beauty.
