out of time

Chapter 752
In the inner ring of the ancient emperor star, outside the capital city of the human race, at the end of the Baiyu Avenue, Li Yunshan and the [-] sword bearers did not enter the city.

Even compared to the imperial capital, their numbers are insignificant, but it is inevitable that they will be suspected of overstepping.

Li Yunshan understood this very well, so after escorting Xu Qing to the end of Baiyu Avenue, he took the sword bearers and set up camp beside him. He only arranged for Kong Xianglong to lead a hundred sword bearers to follow Xu Qing, and Princess Anhai, Enter the capital.

Due to the previous fluctuations in the formation, the originally bustling crowd in the capital is now much empty.

Even if the crisis of the formation was lifted, the number of pedestrians decreased sharply for a while.

But even so, looking around, it was still more lively than Fenghai County, and the degree of excitement became more and more intense as time went by.

At this moment, Princess Anhai spoke while leading Xu Qing and his party in the capital.

"Xu Qing, in addition to the Five Palaces of the Upper Xuan and the Five Palaces of the Lower Xuan, there are other places in the imperial capital that need to be dealt with carefully."

"For example, 33 Heavenly King's Mansion...it's 32 now."

Princess Anhai paused for a moment.

"Besides, there are also important officials in the court, such as the Prime Minister Shangshu Taiwei, the Hundred and Eighth Heavenly Marquis, and the Prince's Mansion."

"All princes are qualified to open a mansion, but only within the capital."

"After that, there are the ten super sects of our human race. These sects have such profound foundations that some of them can even be traced back to the era of the ancient emperor."

When the captain heard this, he blinked and looked at Princess Anhai.

"I heard that there is a very famous sect called... Xiaxian Palace?"

This name made Xu Qing's heart move, and he also looked at Princess Anhai.

There is also Ning Yan. Although he knows something about these things, he obviously does not know as much as An Hai, so he also listens. Wu Jianwu is even more energetic. Everything related to Xuanyou is his obsession. at.

But Kong Xianglong is not interested in these things, he abides by his duties, guards around Xu Qing, and pays attention to all directions.

Princess Anhai nodded upon hearing this and continued the introduction.

"These ten super sects are... the Star Emperor Extreme Sect founded by the Starry Sky Emperor, the Shenhe Cangyu Sect who was born as the Yuling Heavenly King, the Ghost and Creature You Sect who is in charge of the way of the underworld, and the Taishangyue sect who is the master of the country. Qingzong."

"As well as the Xuanhuo Jiulimen formed by later generations, and the Hongchen Wangqinglou, which has business spread across many large areas, and the equally terrifying Litujiao Human Race Separation, and the Word of Truth that worships the face and is always looking for the Son of God, and One is the Tibetan Road that is located under the abyss of the Imperial Capital and has a special mission."

These words of Princess Anhai contained a lot of information. It seemed that each sect had its own special features. For example, the Litu Sect in it, Xu Qing knew very early on that it was a super sect with influence all over Wanggu.

Its teaching is to leave the ancient times and seek the holy land. All ethnic groups have this teaching, but its head teacher is mysterious. Xu Qing knows that its leader is called Da Si Ming.

There is also the Tibetan Road, Princess Anhai didn't know its mission because she didn't know Huangtian, but when Xu Qing heard about it, she immediately guessed.

The mission of the sect living in the abyss is nothing more than... guarding the gate.

As for the Word of Truth, Xu Qing has also heard of it. He knew of such an organization when he was in Nanhuang Continent. The other party was very mysterious, and Xu Qing rarely came into contact with it.

Only now did I realize that the opponent was actually one of the superpowers in the imperial capital.

"Words of the truth, worship the face?" Xu Qing looked at An Hai with doubts in his eyes.

Princess Anhai sighed lightly.

"Some people are in awe and some people hate it, so naturally there will be worship. This is the case for all races, and the human race is no exception. This Word of Truth is such an organization. Just like the Sect of Abandonment, every race has it."

"As for their teaching, it is to look for the Son of God... They believe that the immortal who can open their eyes with their crippled face is a god's family, and has the potential to become the Son of God, so they are looking for such a person throughout Wanggu."

"It's even been heard that they think there must be life. They have endured many face-opening incidents, but they still haven't died. Such a person is not a god, but the son of God they are looking for."

"After finding them, as long as they share food and sacrifice, they will gain divine power."

Princess Anhai's words made Xu Qing silent.

"The last one is the Xiaxian Palace you mentioned earlier."

"This palace is very special. It is said that this Xiaxian Palace is the first sect to appear among all the living beings in Wanggu Continent, and the earliest Xiaxian Palace was not only human race."

"Then Xiaxian Palace split, and this palace existed in many big families."

"It is even rumored that before the time of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, the Xiaxian Palace communicated with the Dao of Heaven and was above the imperial power to a certain extent. The reason why the ancient Linghuang wanted to replace the Dao of Heaven was also related to the hostility of this palace."

"Until the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou followed the Queen Guling to rule over the past and abolished the system of the Xiaxian Palace. The imperial power was above everything else, and there was an agreement on the Xiaxian Palace of all ethnic groups."

"Since then, Xiaxian Palace has been closed all the year round, and has not had much contact with the outside world. Every thousand years, only one disciple emerges, does not participate in disputes, and only chooses to record the thousand-year history of the ethnic group it belongs to."

"Even now, Xiaxian Palace is like this, abiding by the agreement with Xuanyou Ancient Emperor."

Just as they were talking, everyone passed by the octagonal tower that was built of white wood and towered into the sky like a temple of heaven.

The tower is surrounded by white walls, and nothingness fluctuates around it, preventing anyone who approaches.

"The national teacher who was born in Taishang Yueqingzong has been in the Star Picking Tower all year round. Even many princes and ministers have never seen him. Only the father and the fourth prince have seen him."

"The fourth prince is a disciple of the national teacher."

"It is said that the Imperial Master has extraordinary powers and strategies that are astonishing."

Princess Anhai raised her head and looked towards the cloud, where the fog was lingering, and there was a pavilion vaguely visible, with dragons and beasts flying around, full of auspiciousness.

Xu Qing glanced over, nodded slightly, and Princess Anhai accompanied her all the way here, and also informed all the forces in the imperial capital, with full sincerity.

At this moment she is facing Xu Qing.

"My lord, An Hai is going back to the palace too. The situation in the imperial capital is changing, and the people inside are complicated, and all parties are intertwined. I hope you keep your eyes open and screen carefully."

After An Hai finished speaking, he bowed and Xu Qing returned the bow. He felt Princess An Hai's friendship very strongly along the way, and when others showed kindness to him, he naturally wanted to respond.

"I also hope that the princess is well. From now on, if there is a need for Xu in the imperial capital, please let me know."

An Hai smiled, turned and left.

Looking at Princess Anhai's back, Ning Yan blinked at the side, and was about to say something, but after glancing at Zi Xuan at the side, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

But Zi Xuan could see his actions clearly, so Zi Xuan spoke lightly.

"Ning Yan, go to your mansion."

Ning Yan nodded quickly, leading the way, and walked towards his mansion in the imperial capital.

As a prince, he lived outside of the city as an adult, and each had his own mansion in the capital. Ning Yan's mansion was located in the northern district of the capital, which was a little remote compared to other places.

But if you look at it from another angle, this place is very quiet.

In particular, the size of the mansion is not small, with three floors inside and outside, and a mirror-like lake outside, forming a whole together with the mansion. Both the scenery and the atmosphere are very stylish.

And the style is delicate and elegant. There are some bells on the turret of the mansion. When the wind blows, the surface of the lake will wrinkle.

Looking at this place from a distance, Zixuan's eyes showed satisfaction and appreciation.

Xu Qing also saw the difference between this building and the other houses he saw along the way, and the team leader beside him also gave a sigh of admiration.

"The wind blows and the water moves here, and the sound comes from the heart. It is unique and unique. Generally speaking, there must be treasures born here."

As he spoke, he instinctively looked towards the lake and licked his lips.

"This is what my mother built for us according to her wishes."

Ning Yan looked at the mansion with melancholy on his face and spoke softly.

Then he led the way, not by flying, but directly to the lake.

The moment its footsteps landed on the water, a colorful koi jumped up from the water, and the sun fell on the koi. It was colorful, and its beard was very long, splashing some water droplets, which was very beautiful.

On the surface of the water in front of them, one after another of these koi carps, they seemed to possess spiritual intelligence, recognized their owner, jumped up on the water surface, and sent Xu Qing and his party all the way to the shore of the lake.

But unfortunately, the moment he stepped ashore and appeared at the gate of the mansion, the feeling of artistic conception was somewhat dissipated because of the dilapidated mansion.

The mansion looks fine from a distance, but from a close look, because it has been uninhabited all year round, with the passage of time, the smell of decay blows over the face.

The red door was mottled and the bell was full of rust. When the door was opened, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and full of desolation.

Looking at this, Ning Yan felt bitter in his heart, forced a smile, and looked at Xu Qing and the captain.

"I am home."

Xu Qing patted Ning Yan on the shoulder, and the captain waved his hand.

"Xiao Ningzi, your house is nice. Come, come, let's clean it together. I think this is a treasured place of geomantic omen. According to my deduction, this place is obviously a Qianlong pattern, which means that your future will not be easy, kid."

Ning Yan was moved, nodded heavily, and together with the others, cleaned the mansion.

It didn't take long, and the whole mansion was quickly tidy under the cleaning of Xu Qing and his team. Kong Xianglong even took the sword bearer and checked the surroundings very carefully.

But Ning Yan, after checking all the houses, looked a little depressed, standing there in a daze.

Seeing this, Xu Qing went over to inquire.

Ning Yan hesitated, but finally whispered the reason.

"A few things are missing. They are relics left by my mother. I was in a hurry when I left, and those items couldn't be carried, so I put them at home."

"It's gone now. I just sent a voice transmission to Third Sister, and she checked it for me. It was the Tenth Prince who took it away privately."

"The mother clan of the ten princes is King Zhenyan, the first king of the human race, and the old ten is domineering. He is not liked by the first king, but few people dare to provoke him."

"If he takes it away, it's hard to get it back."

Ning Yan spoke bitterly.

When Xu Qing heard this, he pondered for a moment and then turned to look at Kong Xianglong.

Kong Xianglong's eyes were bright, and he looked at Xu Qing, knowing Xu Qing's thoughts in his heart.

"Brother Kong, ask someone to send a jade slip to the Ten Emperor's Mansion, and tell the other party that the borrowed thing will be returned within one day."
