Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

"City Lord Xiahou, do you recognize this thing?"

While he was speaking, Wang Luo held an invisible jade between his thumb and index finger. Although the jade was invisible, its outline could be easily seen through the distance between the two fingers and the deformation of the fingertips.

Xia Houying frowned, as if deep in thought, and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he spoke hesitantly.

"Master Immortal Fu Shi, what exactly is this thing you are talking about?"

Wang Luo was a little surprised: "What? Even if you can't see this thing, you should at least be aware of its existence, right? It's between my index finger and thumb, can't you see it at all?"

Xia Houying's brows couldn't help but frown more tightly, and the true energy in his body also flowed according to his mind, attaching to his eyes. For a moment, a spiritual light bloomed, and the energy was overwhelming.

Obviously, although the Taiping City Lord is not good at fighting and cannot even throw a king's eight punches, he does have real skills in the practice. His decades of idle life as a city owner has never slowed down his improvement in cultivation. This simple and simple method of clearing eyes is worthy of Wang Luo's heartfelt applause.

pretty.

With the blessing of the Qingmu Jue, Xia Houying finally gained insight. As the true energy flowed through his eyes, the spherical outline between Wang Luo's two fingers became clearer, and the faint light emitted by the jade gradually appeared... However, then As he saw more and more things, his face became paler and paler. After a moment, the aura in Xia Houying's eyes suddenly went out, and he jumped up from his seat, then fell to his knees with a plop.

Wang Luo was simply astonished: "You..."

"Master Immortal Fu Shi, I know you told me to keep my posture calm, but... in the Xinheng Dynasty, anyone who sees this thing will only react in the same way as me, even if they are as noble as a member of the royal family, You cannot treat it with courtesy. This is the Seal Star Jewel, the key to the Eastern Capital Star Tower, the bridge to the immortals... It is the seal of the Imperial Master. Seeing it is like seeing an immortal official in heaven, even the Imperial Master himself. You can’t take it out of Qianxingtai easily, let alone show it to others like this!”

Wang Luo followed suit and put the jade back into the treasure bag at his waist. Xia Houying took a deep breath, stood up and sat back on his chair. He drank two more cups of herbal tea before his heartbeat calmed down.

Then, Xia Houying said with a helpless smile: "The Immortal Envoy actually holds this object, then...it is indeed the Immortal Envoy without a doubt."

After saying that, he suddenly realized something and asked: "Now the whole court is searching for important criminals. Could it be related to this thing?"

Wang Luo nodded and briefly described what he had seen and heard at the Mad Lake last night. Xia Houying was immediately amazed.

"There is such a thing...it is really, really unbelievable!"

Wang Luo asked: "What do you think?"

Xia Houying said frankly: "The person you saw swimming in the lake should be a close confidant of the Imperial Preceptor. Only the person whom the Imperial Preceptor trusts the most can be entrusted with precious jade and taken out of the country. Wasteland Even the Immortal Official in Heaven cannot walk freely, especially at night. According to legend, there may be some powerful beasts in the wasteland at night that are as powerful as the Immortal Official. That person dares to wander around at night with such a heavy treasure. Crazy Lake is completely putting the country's treasure in danger, and no one would do that unless it is absolutely necessary. If the Immortal Officials were to pursue it afterwards, the consequences would be unimaginable."

After sighing, Xia Houying said again: "If you look at it this way, that person should be the key criminal that the Queen Mother's party is frantically hunting for, and the target is naturally this Seal Star Jewel... No wonder, no wonder!"

After saying "No wonder" twice, Xia Houying stopped talking. His face was full of despair. It was obvious that he was no longer optimistic about the current situation of the New Heng Dynasty.

The enemy is pressing down on the country, but the New Heng Dynasty is experiencing endless civil strife, and the heavenly officials who protect the country have surrendered to the enemy long ago. The situation is so pessimistic and ironic that it has reached the level of abstraction!

Wang Luo added: "Before he died, the man left a message in the jade, asking me to take this object to the Eastern Capital and bring order to the chaos. What do you think?"

Xia Houying pondered for a moment and said: "Dongdu is the acropolis of Fancheng. It is located ten miles east of the city. There is only one Qianxingtai in the city worth mentioning. That Qianxingtai is based on the statue of the chief minister of the Daheng Dynasty in the old immortal calendar. The Qianxing Platform, which Ming worked so hard to create, is a replica. It is more effective than the original version and has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. I really don’t know the details. However, decades ago, my teacher, Mr. Mingli, and I happened to be together after dinner. In casual conversation, he once mentioned: Today's so-called star-pulling platform is not used to draw the power of the stars in the sky to gain insight into cause and effect and clearly predict the future. Therefore, if you want to ask me what I think, I think it is a channel to directly communicate with heaven. , we might as well make a bold assumption that the Qianxing Platform in the Eastern Capital is actually a channel for the Imperial Master to directly communicate with the Heavenly Court."

Although Xia Houying's hypothesis contains a lot of subjective conjecture, it is quite reasonable after careful deduction.

Wang Luo then nodded and said: "So, that person asked me to bring this gem back to the Eastern Capital to bring order to the chaos. In fact, it means activating the Star Pulling Platform and calling for reinforcements from Heaven? But this would be ironic. If Heaven knows that Zhang Jincheng and Those seven Immortal Officials jumped in the face of battle, fearing that all relevant personnel from top to bottom would be cramped and skinned... His only wish before his death was to make his master die a more tragic death? "

Xia Houying shook his head and said helplessly: "This is not something I can know. But we might as well assume that the Imperial Preceptor has been wary of the Queen Mother's party for a long time, and his trump card is hidden in Qianxingtai, Dongdu. As long as Master Xianfu can hold the jade to open the Eastern Capital Star Tower, and Master Imperial Master can get out of trouble, and then... the whole process has nothing to do with heaven. "

The words "bring order to things out of chaos" are ironic when said by Xia Houying, a loyal minister of peace in the New Heng Dynasty. But the truth is indeed very different.

"So, next, our destination is Dongdu Qianxingtai?"

Xia Houying reminded: "Qianxing Terrace is the most important place in the entire New Heng Dynasty. In terms of importance, it is even more important than the Imperial City in Fan City. Even in peacetime, it is not possible to enter if you want to. . Not to mention that at this time, I am afraid that the Queen Mother's party has already closely monitored Qianxingtai. It is really difficult to break through the siege and reach the Eastern Capital. "

Wang Luo pondered for a while and asked: "What is the approximate level of Fancheng's defense strength?"

Xia Houying replied: "I really don't dare to say for sure about the specific situation, but as far as I know, among the die-hard loyalists under the Queen Mother Shan's party, there is one Mahayana True Monarch, four or five of the combined ancestors... who have transformed into gods. There are dozens of people on each level. In addition, the magic circle in the city is extremely powerful. It is said that even if the immortal official comes in person, it will be difficult to break through it with his own brute force. Although the immortal has great magical power, I am afraid..."

"Well, I know that in a head-on conflict, I am definitely not the opponent of the entire Queen Mother Party. I am here to fight in an away game, and of course I won't expect to crush everything with absolute force superiority. But I don't need to single-handedly challenge the entire party. It is enough for the Queen Mother Party to rescue Zhang Jincheng. However, it is still unknown how he is now sealed and imprisoned..."

While Wang Luo was pondering, a faint groan came from the simple hall of the city lord's palace.

"Well……"

In the corner, Lieutenant Colonel You, whose body glowed with purple light, woke up leisurely. At first, he was still a little confused, as if he was in a dream, but he soon woke up and let out a short scream.

"Ah? Here, you guys..."

As the screams echoed, the man's eyes gradually focused on Xia Houying and Wang Luo... Soon he was sweating and feeling confused, but even so, he still did not forget his bluff.

"Who are you!? How dare you..."

The sound stopped suddenly, as if someone had strangled the throat.

Wang Luo said coldly: "Bastard, you are so impudent!"

In an instant, an invisible coercion exploded like a storm. Not only Colonel Hongguang was awakened by the pressure, but even Xia Houying, who was watching from the sidelines, could not help but remain silent.

Wang Luo took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack: "As officers and soldiers of Xinheng, you receive salary from the court and you should serve the court and the people. However, instead of being loyal to the public, you use official business to blackmail the lord of a city. You even want to attack innocent civilian girls! According to the new Heng military law, you two will never be redeemed!"

This righteous scolding made the two captains feel at a loss for a moment, and Wang Luo's coercion rushed towards them, making the two of them breathless and did not dare to question each other's identity.

After a long time, the two of them managed to calm down their breathing, and Colonel Ziguang You asked tremblingly: "I dare to ask, sir... But, you are the special envoy of Dongcheng? I offend your Majesty, and you deserve death!"

Wang Luo's ears twitched when he heard this, and he felt a little confused, but he saw Xia Houying tapping his fingers on the coffee table next to him, indicating that there was no need to respond to this question... Then Wang Luo suddenly realized: these two captains are really cunning and bold, and even when they are about to die, they still Have the courage to test Wang Luo's reality.

The so-called Dongcheng Special Envoy was simply a name that Colonel Ziguang used casually to test him. If he responded seriously at this time, he would be devaluing himself.

Fortunately, Wang Luo was not fighting alone at this time. He had a city lord named Xia Houying who was well versed in intrigue and intrigue beside him.

I saw the old city lord mustering up his courage, snorted coldly, tried his best to put on a proud posture of a condescending superior, and said: "You two don't even know the Immortal Envoy? How does General Li teach you on a daily basis?" From my subordinates!”

Captain Ziguang's eyes widened when he heard this, his mouth was speechless, and he was speechless for a long time.

Lieutenant Hongguang subconsciously retorted: "Xian Fu Envoy? Are you kidding!? Xia Houying, are you so anxious that you jump over the wall? You dare to find any excuse?! Let us go quickly, otherwise when the general arrives with his troops, he will ask you The whole city is dead without a place to die!”

On the other side, Colonel Ziguangyou's heart sank. Unlike Colonel Hongguang, he always thought a few levels deeper, so he immediately realized that the situation between the two of them at this time was basically a desperate situation. Regardless of whether the identity of the Immortal Envoy is true or false, if the other party dares to use the word "Immortal Envoy" at this time, it is clear that they want to break up.

The next step in breaking up the relationship is most likely to kill the general and sacrifice the flag!

So when Colonel Hongguang threatened in a majestic manner, Colonel You immediately lowered his body and said, "Sir, are you really the Immortal Envoy? I'm sorry for my ignorance... But do you have proof? If you are really the Immortal Envoy Sir, we shall bear the burden of our sins and apologize..."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Hongguang suddenly felt astonished as if he had been stabbed in the back. He looked at his comrades beside him in disbelief and said sharply: "Youchi, what nonsense are you talking about? How could he be an immortal? What if he is an immortal?" Commander, you and I are the Immortal Officials of Heaven! Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? We have sent a message back with our swords, and the reinforcements from the General will be here soon..."

Wang Luo smiled and stretched out his hand to show the trapped flying sword: "Is this the so-called flying sword to pass the book?"

Lieutenant Hongguang was stunned for a long time, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, but he still kept his tough words: "Even if we intercept the flying sword, it will be useless. The two of us have been ordered to come to Liuyan City to preach. If we cannot return to the county for a period of time, The people in the city naturally know that something is wrong with us. When the army comes, all your schemes will be wiped out. I advise you to surrender now, don’t follow that old guy to your death! His backers have already fallen!"

Wang Luo's eyes lit up and he asked: "Oh? Mr. Mingli had disciples all over the world, and he had many friends and cronies in the court. Even the Queen Mother's party could not help him. Now, although he has passed away, his reputation has not diminished after his death. On the contrary, why should such a backer fail?”

This knowingly asked question about fishing made Captain Hongguang's eyes light up, and he quickly explained: "Of course no one could do anything to get him while he was alive, but when he is gone, there is no one in the world whose reputation does not decrease but increases after death." Reason! ? In short, not only Sang County, but also the Mingli gangsters in several surrounding counties are being uniformly purged. Even this Xia Houying was specially told by the people above to win... If you still know the current affairs. , let us go immediately, and I can put in a good word for you in front of the general. If you persist..."

Wang Luo interrupted: "Several surrounding counties are cleaning out Mr. Mingli's gang members? Who ordered such a big thing? Why didn't I know?"

This matter-of-fact tone made Colonel Hongguang a little unsure of the situation, but he was eager to talk to Wang Luo and delay it for more time.

"We are only following orders, and we have limited knowledge of the situation in the surrounding counties..."

Wang Luo said: "Speak as much as you know, and don't hide it."

Colonel Hongguang's mind was racing, and he wanted to make up a reason to continue speaking, but before he could speak, he felt the air around him become cold.

Lieutenant You, who came with him on the same road, suddenly felt a strong pressure that did not belong to him at all.

It was a high official authority that was not inferior to Wang Luo, and this coercion seemed so familiar to Captain Hongguang.

The star army in the county and the garrison general Li Fengxian!

This veteran who was stationed in the county town of Sang County suddenly dropped his soul on his captain from a hundred miles away!

Then, he opened his eyes, looked at Wang Luo, and whispered: "Who are you? How dare you treat my subordinates..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Luo smiled calmly and said: "Immortal care envoy, Wang Luo."

"You are lying! I have been stationed in Fancheng and Dongdu for ten years, and I have never seen an immortal messenger like you!"

Wang Luo nodded: "That's right. It's empty talk. Let's talk about the facts."

After saying that, he stood up and came to Colonel Hongguang. He stretched out his hand and held down his Heavenly Spirit... Then the desolate poison surged out from his body, swallowing up the entire Golden Core Captain in an instant. . But when the tide of desolate poison receded, the captain no longer had the outline of a human being.

"Do you believe it now?"
