Outside the courtyard where the Luofu Palace group was located, there was no telling how many pairs of eyes were quietly observing them all.
Among them, naturally, there were people from the Divine Sky Dao.
A middle-aged man and a young man, the middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, while the young man was extremely handsome and looked like a talented man.
Abruptly, the middle-aged Daoist priest’s pupils that looked towards Yuan Mou suddenly shrank and his body tensed up.
“Senior Uncle ——” the young Daoist priest whispered in some confusion.
Just now, this senior uncle suddenly seemed like he was going to run away, but after that, he suddenly stopped his form, his body trembling slightly.
“Nothing ——” The middle-aged Daoist priest’s trembling hands clenched his fists tightly so as not to expose his own trembling, but unbeknownst to him, his tone was clearly different.
Just now, a sudden crisis of extinction loomed over him, and the middle-aged Taoist priest felt that he was in a life-and-death crisis, and that if he was not careful, he might fall straight to the underworld.
The trembling in his body was not due to a lack of courage, but rather a sensitive reaction to the crisis.
How long had it been since he had experienced such a reaction?
The middle-aged Taoist priest thought back carefully, but it seemed that he had never reacted like this before when facing an attack from a strong man of the Tong Shen realm. Nor had he acted like this when he was facing the siege of two powerful enemies and was only one step away from death.
His years of experience in the jianghu had given him not only a cold and hard heart, but also an incomparable courage. But just now, he felt trembling and uneasy in the face of that aura.
The middle-aged Daoist priest glanced at his young master-nephew. He did not react at all because he was too far away from the level of the crisis.
He did not know that just now, if the people inside the courtyard had had the slightest intention to kill, it could have killed all the people peeping outside on the spot.
“Zang Xuan, go and report to your master that there is a great danger in Luo Fu Palace, and that Huayu Fei has probably recovered from his injuries and has greatly improved his power.” The middle-aged Daoist priest said solemnly.
That kind of creepy sense of crisis was definitely not a feeling that a dying, seriously injured person could bring. If he was really so badly injured that he couldn’t even walk, how could he have such a terrifying aura.
“Senior Uncle, what about you?” The young Daoist priest, Zang Xuan, asked in confusion.
“If I were to meet an old friend.”
Forcing his hands, which were still trembling slightly, to stop, the middle-aged Daoist priest touched a handful of cold sweat, took one last look at the seemingly calm courtyard and left quietly.
He walked seemingly slowly but quickly, and before long, he had left the Tai Chen Palace and arrived in a wooded area not far from the Tai Chen Palace.
“You’re here.”
The dark golden figure quietly appeared behind the middle-aged Daoist priest.
The middle-aged Daoist reached out and took a pill, and his face began to move violently, as if there were worms crawling underground.
After several breaths of trembling facial muscles, the middle-aged Daoist’s face changed drastically.
His face was still ordinary, but it took on a cold hardness and vicissitude. It was a familiar face, and he was considered an old friend of Qing Yu’s. Although the word friend should be preceded and followed by inverted commas.
“Brother Xuanji, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. When I heard that you were being chased by Qin Xihai, the ‘Absolute Sea Divine Constable’ and Leng Mad Tu, the ‘Blood Hand Divine Constable’ of Department Six Sect, I pinched a cold sweat for you.” Qing Yu said in a seemingly concerned manner.
“Heh, who do you think I was being chased and killed because of?” Zhang Xuanji laughed coldly in response.
If it wasn’t for this guy in front of him who killed Lu Qifeng, how could he have been bitten by Department Six and not let go. If it wasn’t for the help of Daoist Zhengtian, he would either be in Department Six’s prison, or he would have killed himself.
To be honest, if he didn’t know that Department Six would definitely not let go of the duck that was in his mouth, Zhang Xuanji would definitely have sold Qing Yu out.
“Ahahahaha —— In any case, Brother Xuanji’s lucky man has a heavenly sign and has escaped from Department Six’s hands, so it is really congratulatory!” Qing Yu didn’t care at all about Zhang Xuanji’s words and changed the subject with a smile.
“But Brother Xuanji, the environment of this meeting place is really not good, there is a smell of blood everywhere.”
With a slight sweep of his gaze, Qing Yu’s exceptional eyesight easily caught the blood stains everywhere.
Even though the blood had seeped into the soil and turned dark red, Qing Yu could easily tell where a large amount of blood had once been left.
“It’s like this all around the Tai Chen Palace,” Zhang Xuanji said indifferently, “When I arrived at the Tai Chen Palace with the clan this morning, I could still see the Daoist priests washing the blood there at the gatehouse.”
Reality is reality, not film and television dramas. No one dictated that the people in the Blood Demon Sect had to wait until after the start of the Daoist Conference before they carried out a large-scale attack.
In fact, for several days before that, there were attacks by people from the Blood Demon Cult day and night. Inside and outside of the Tai Chen Palace, there were many signs of battle and a lot of bloodstains.
In just a few days’ time, hundreds of corpses had already been buried on the back side of the mountain. There were those from the Blood Demon Sect and those from the Daoist Sect.
It was only in the last two days that all the experts from various sects arrived, which slowed down the attacks of the Blood Demon Sect a little. If it had been four or five days ago, more than one or two hundred people would have died every night.
“The people of the Tai Chen Palace are all pretty much dead.” Zhang Xuanji looked like he was lamenting.
Of course, Qing Yu did not think he was feeling pity. As a person who conducted human experiments, the word pity had long since become irrelevant to Zhang Xuanji, and equally irrelevant to Qing Yu.
“Brother Xuanji left a message over at the Shadow House asking me to come here, it wouldn’t be to mourn for the dead, would it?” Qing Yu said with a wry smile.
In response to Qing Yu’s flirtation, Zhang Xuanji merely returned, “Just a reminder for you not to become one of the corpses in the back of the mountain.”
After a pause, he said, “You should have just arrived today, so have you met Tal Wuyan yet?”
“Slightly.” Qing Yu put away his previous flippancy and returned in a deep voice.
He had never met Tal Wuyin, but when he had gone to the Shadow Tower stronghold before, he had searched the memories of the next Shadow Tower subordinate.
Tal Wuyin was the person sent by the Shadow King to preside over matters in Jeju. According to the description of the person whose memories were searched by Qing Yu, Tan Wuyin should have had considerable strength, but he was more inclined to use tricks.
He had been in Jeju for only two months, and had already caused three violent clashes between the government and the Blood Demon Cult through quietly guiding tactics.
During these three violent clashes, four military generals and seven civil officials died, all eleven of whom were royalists.
“I was in Jeju a month ago, operating in secret. I should not have paid any attention to Tal Wuyin, nor was I in the mood to do so. But ——”
A murderous look suddenly filled Zhang Xuanji’s eyes, “He shouldn’t have laid a hand on me. Half a month ago, I was suddenly attacked by people from the Blood Demon Sect. Three True Dan Realm, quite looking down on me. Yet in the end, they still looked down on me.
I left one alive and used a succession of pills such as the Scourge Heart Pill, Soul Snatcher Pill, and Disorderly Spirit Pill to make him spit out everything. At that time, I had absolutely no idea that it was actually the Shadow House side that had sold my whereabouts.”
