The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 43: A cloud floats from the south
Bulao Lin's highest-ranking assassin, or can hide himself in the shadow in some way, but the shadow under the tree is real, then there is only one possibility, this is a projection from the underworld.
Twenty years ago, in Mingcui Valley outside Chaoge City, the Bulaolin Assassin failed to assassinate Zhao Layue, so he was silently killed by the projection of the three disciples of Master Ming.
Whose shadow is this shadow that appeared in Chaoge City tonight?
The shadow bulged slightly, as if it was about to break away from the ground, shining on by the starlight refracted by the wall, and gradually showing its shape.
The figure is very short and squat, and he can't see his face clearly. You can vaguely see wearing a colorful dress, indicating that he has a very high status in the underworld.
"Introduce yourself."
The chunky figure has a thin and gloomy voice, but it has an extremely powerful aura and majesty.
His voice is a bit weird, and he should rarely speak human language.
"I am the high priest of the Nether."
If the underworld emperor died, the underworld master was the strongest in the underworld, and only one person was qualified to raise an objection.
The blood of the royal family of the underworld flows through the high priest, and his power and realm are extremely high, no matter how he looks at it, he is a real big man.
Change to other practitioners, even elder-level powerhouses in various sects, and suddenly find that the High Priest of the Underworld appears in front of you, they will only have two reactions, or pale screaming trying to warn, or pale face Frightened and fainted directly.
Jing Jiu was very calm, as if he had met an old man asking for directions, and said, "What's the matter?"
The voice of the high priest floats in the alley like the wind, as if the string will break at any time, seeming a little unexpected: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Jing Jiu said: "Maybe you are very strong, but this is Chaoge City. Even if you are afraid, it should be you."
The high priest said: "When your master ascended back then, I went to see Qingshan. What is Chaoge City?"
Jing Jiu said: "Say something."
The high priest's colorful clothes mixed with the dark shadows, it looks extremely strange, just like his voice: "I heard that you are a very good negotiator, so there must be no position that must be adhered to."
This sentence is very reasonable, but Jing Jiu heard more things. The conversation between him and Bu Qiuxiao reached the underworld just as soon as he was talking today?
He said: "Go straight."
The high priest said: "If the Seal of the Underworld is really in your hands, or can we cooperate?"
Sure enough, there is no impermeable wall, even the huge wall between the world and the underworld, even the abyss.
His conversation with Bu Qiuxiao reached the underworld, and even the unknowing conversation between him and the underworld master was actually heard by the high priest.
Jing Jiu said, "I talked with him first."
The high priest said: "It's okay. I'll just report it to you first and leave a name. When you make a decision in the future, remember that there is still my way. Give us at least one chance to bid."
Jing Jiu said: "I can't imagine the benefits of cooperating with you."
The high priest said: "This is the greatest benefit to combat the remnants of peace."
Jing Jiu suddenly said, "Are you familiar with Zhongzhou School?"
The high priest said blankly: "If you don't trust me, just assume I haven't been there, but I hope you can remember this conversation."
After saying this, the stars faded, and the shadows under the trees faded a lot.
The leaves fell in the wind and the shadows returned to the ground, so they returned to normal.
Jing Jiu turned and left the alley.
He didn't go back to Qingshan directly, but went to the old plum garden.
Meiyuan Nunnery was shrouded in stars, as if a layer of clear water was washing the tile eaves silently.
He walked into the nunnery and sat down in front of the gray case.
It is not the high priest himself who came, but his projection.
But if the high priest suddenly makes a move, he may encounter a lot of trouble, because Chaoge City may not be able to activate the large formation.
If the high priest dared to project in Chaoge City, he must have received some kind of protection. Since he is not a real Taiping person, who would it be?
The Emperor Underworld has been imprisoned in the Town Demon Prison for more than six hundred years. The Zhongzhou faction has been secretly communicating with the Lower Realm, which is normal.
Does Yunmengshan want to reconfirm his identity, or does he want to disadvantage himself and Qingshan? He always thought that Chaoge City was the safest place outside Qingshan and Guocheng Temple. No one would assassinate himself here, but thinking about the story of Guocheng Temple two years ago, this view is naturally problematic.
Starlight passed through the window and fell on him, casting a shadow on the ground in front of the case.
The next moment, the shadow floated slightly, like a leaf blown up by the wind.
Such a scene was staged before his eyes not long ago.
"Come back?"
He felt a little tired.
The figure that appears in the shadow this time is much thinner.
This time it is the projection of the underworld master.
Jing Jiu asked: "How do you know I am here?"
The Underworld master lightly dusted his blue shirt, and the figure in the shadow instantly disappeared.
"If he knows about our conversation, I can't find out what he is doing? In fact, the news about the Seal of the Hades was deliberately leaked out by me."
Regardless of the world or the underworld, the conspiracy struggles related to power are always so exciting and make Jing Jiu feel bored.
He knocked on the case table in front of him and said: "Speaking of the point, how do you know that I am in the old plum garden."
The Underworld Master did not answer his question, and directly said: "Cooperate with me and send the High Priest into the Styx."
Jing Jiu said, "Benefits?"
The Hades walked to the window with his hands, the shadows diminished the stars outside.
His projection is shorter than the body, and looks like a strange and terrifying puppet.
"I checked for a long time, and today I finally determined that he and Yunmengshan have been secretly connected. Killing him is good for me and Qingshan."
The Hades turned around and looked at him and said: "And if he goes to Styx to sleep, the chaos in the lower realm can be settled as soon as possible, and you and I can choose a new Hades."
Jing Jiu said: "Is this an agreement?"
The underworld master said: "I am not Liu Ci, nor Yuan Qijing. It is not enough for you to convince me to betray a real person. I will only join forces with the final victor. You are so weak and I cannot trust me. ."
Jing Jiu said: "No."
The Underworld Master said: "I'm here to deliver the letter. Are you sure you don't want to know the content of that letter?"
Jing Jiu wanted to take out the bamboo chair to lie down, and once again remembered that Xue Ji was squatting on the bamboo chair, so he had to lie down on the floor and looked at the sky full of stars outside the window.
The Underworld master glanced at him, flicked his sleeves, the shadow was slightly blue, and disappeared without a trace.
Overnight, I met the two most powerful figures in the Underworld in a row. Jing Jiu was also a little surprised and a little tired.
In these two conversations, he was very indifferent, even with a condescending attitude, but that was just appearance.
The projection of either the high priest or the underworld master can bring him a great threat.
The level difference between the two parties is too far. If the Seal of the Emperor of the Underworld is not in his hands, these two conversations would never have happened.
Just like if he didn't have Yinfeng's life card and didn't grasp the secret, Bu Qiuxiao would not be here to negotiate with him during the day.
A young man walking around the world with the most precious books, and being able to sit down with princes and nobles, seems to be cool and calm, but it is also a very dangerous thing.
He knows who wrote the letter that Hades said.
It is indeed the most convenient and even fastest way to communicate on the surface of the vast Chaotian Continent to transmit information through the projection of the great figure of the underworld.
The problem is how the people on the mainland transmit information to the underworld.
Before he didn't have the mosquitoes in the demon prison, only the real Taiping had this ability, and the Zhongzhou faction might also have some method.
He knows his brother too well, knowing that even if he just takes a look, he might fall into the opponent's game, so he doesn't want to read that letter at all.
There is another question. If the high priest followed him through the Zhongzhou faction, how could the underworld master know that he was in the old plum garden?
He didn't even know he would be here before he started thinking.
Jing Jiu felt something was wrong.
When talking with Bu Qiuxiao in this nunnery during the day, he once had a similar feeling.
Who left traces in your body?
He carefully recalled his experience in this life~IndoMTL.com~IndoMTL.com~ I have seen the most subtle parts of the body without any doubt or discovery.
When he was fighting against Tian Jinren in the air, the opponent's divine consciousness did enter his body, but there was no trace of it left.
His body is still as clean and pure, but there are some silkworms in his waist, abdomen and spine.
Just thinking about it quietly, the whole night passed quickly.
The morning light spilled down the window, and he stood up, ready to leave, but suddenly found a line of words on the ground where the Underworld Master disappeared.
"A cloud floated from the south."
Seeing these words, his body became a little stiff, and he slowly turned and looked to the south outside the window.
There are countless clouds in the southern sky, which one must die?
