Exposed!
In the morning, after breakfast, the scholar's clone came to the Book Repository as he had done in the past few days and settled down to read.
The person who invited Qiu Yan seemed to have forgotten him, but Qiu Yan didn't care at all. He continued to eat and sleep as usual, sometimes reading, sometimes going out.
He quickly became familiar with the city's layout, but some places were guarded by soldiers and difficult to approach, including the Military Governor's Residence.
"Either infiltrate, or risk Living Soul Spirit Projection. It's a pity there's no Kitchen God to worship in the city, otherwise we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."
Lost in thought, he picked up a book and was about to sit down to read when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the library. Qiu Yan caught a few words in his ears and turned to ask, "Brother Luo, why is it so noisy outside so early in the morning?"
He was asking about a new friend he had recently met, who had told him about Fang Ziyan and others a few days ago. The friend's name was Luo Jiayun, and he was also a Xiucai, but his hometown was Rong Prefecture.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiayun said, "It must be the Jiedushi's wife again. She is a kind and gentle person, and also loves to read. She values us students very much and often comes to visit and inquire about our studies."
"The Jiedushi's wife..." Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stood up and said, "Then we must go and take a look."
"Yes, we should be grateful to be able to read and copy here, and it is only Correct Principle that we express our gratitude." Luo Jiayun said, putting down the book and leaving with Qiu Yan.
Two rows of well-dressed soldiers stood in front of the post station. Each of them was strong and powerful, exuding a chilling Sha Qi that made one's heart tremble at first sight.
However, this Sha Qi was diluted by a woman.
The woman appeared to be about thirty years old, but had a fair complexion. Her hair was piled high, and she wore a silk dress and a fiery red cloak. A Hwamei Bird perched on her shoulder, giving her an air of elegance and unique charm. She was chatting intimately with three scholars, without the slightest air of superiority.
Among the scholars were Fang Ziyan and Gu Yanzhi Qiu Yan had met before.
"Is she the wife of the military governor?" Qiu Yan observed the woman from a distance, but did not release his senses to avoid alerting her.
At this moment, a gaunt man strode in, whispered a few words in the woman's ear, and the governor's wife's expression changed slightly. She then spoke a few words to the scholar beside her and hurriedly left.
Upon seeing this, Luo Jiayun said with some regret, "The military governor's wife seems to have something urgent to attend to."
"It seems this is no small matter," Qiu Yan murmured, a hint of something deeper in his voice.
At the same time.
The seat of Jiannan Circuit was Jiannan City.
A streak of light suddenly flashed across the sky, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Beneath Jiannan City, in the deepest, darkest depths, lies a palace.
At this moment, in the magnificent hall, a faint blue light floated above the head seat, behind which hung a screen depicting mountains, rivers, cities, and villages.
"The Land of the Divine Remains has reopened?"
The light shifted and slowly coalesced into a human form, which was a man dressed in a Daoist robe, his entire body glowing and translucent.
"This Land of the Divine Remains is no ordinary place. Although I have been inside before, I gained nothing, which I regret. Now that there is another opportunity, I should go and try again. However, I am currently trying to break through to the Third-Grade Divine Rank and it is difficult for me to go out. Relying solely on my Divine Power Avatar would be useless. Therefore, it is up to you to step forward."
Four other figures stood in the hall, each radiating an emerald light. Upon hearing this, all four figures replied, "We are willing to share your burdens, sir."
"Very good. Liu Xuan and Ye Lu, you two will handle this," the blue-glowing man said, pointing to the two names. He then raised his hand and sent out two beams of blue light that merged into the two figures. "What to do once you enter the Land of the Divine Remains is all contained within these two beams of divine power. You just need to follow orders. Oh, and when you pass through Yuan Ning, please give my regards to Yin Xiao'e. There's no time to lose, go!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two figures bowed and accepted the order, then transformed into Light Escape the ground. They traveled all the way and arrived at Yuanning City in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then went straight into the Underworld Main Hall.
On the main seat of the hall sat a person, clad in cold armor that gleamed with an emerald light, motionless.
Why did the Gate Gods and the Prison God enter without permission?
A melodious voice emanated from beneath the mask of the man in cold armor.
"Please forgive us, Yuanning City God. We have come here on orders. Please do not misunderstand. We will now depart."
These two uninvited guests, who were Gate Gods and Prison Gods in the Domain of Law, were not just minor Gate Gods and Prison Gods in a city or county, but major Gate Gods and Prison Gods throughout Jiannan Circuit Domain of Law. Their Divine Rank were Fifth Grade, equivalent to the Metropolitan City God.
However, Yuanning City is the Domain of Law the City God, and these two gods had barged in without cause, so they were already in the wrong. Therefore, they did not argue, but first used their orders to intimidate people, and then they were about to leave.
Sudden!
Suddenly, a blue light burst forth from one of the gods, transforming into a beam that pointed directly at the seated man in cold armor.
Immediately, the entire hall trembled violently, People's Wishes surged from all sides, layer upon layer, entwined with blue light, making it difficult for them to advance an inch.
But then, another blue light burst forth from another god, tearing through the air and striking rapidly!
Swish!
The first blue light had already drawn the People's Wishes in the hall, so the second light encountered almost no resistance. With a flash of light, it struck the armored man, and with a "crash," the armor scattered all over the ground. The place was empty, with no trace of the deity in sight!
"Empty! It's just an empty shell of a suit of armor!"
"Yin Xiao'e! She actually used such Empty City Stratagem! If it weren't for Circuit City God's brilliant strategy, we would have both fallen for it!"
The two deities were surprised to see this. After regaining their senses, they shouted "Go!" and were about to leave the hall when the hall shook violently and the scene tilted, as if space was about to close.
"She set up a restriction, and if it were exposed, she would move the entire hall to the Netherworld Domain to trap us. Unfortunately, it's too late!"
As the two gods spoke, their Domain of Law surged, and they vanished into thin air.
Ping ping bang bang!
The scattered armor parts flew into the air, reassembled into a human shape, and remained seated still. However, the light on the surface of the armor gradually dimmed, and the atmosphere in the entire hall gradually became solemn.
Yuanning City, the prison.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the statue of the Prison God in the prison, and a figure appeared, lifelike. It was Liu Xuan, the great Prison God who had escaped from the Underworld Main Hall.
Before Liu Xuan's form could solidify, he spun around and disappeared.
At the same time, the main gate of a mansion not far away trembled, and a figure emerged from the door Gate God painting on the gate. The figure was glowing and was none other than the Gate God Ye Lu. As soon as he appeared, he frowned and his nose twitched.
"What's going on? This incense smell is unfamiliar. I've never smelled it before." The Divine Office of the Gate Gods include exorcising demons and protecting the home, but they also include monitoring and recording. They not only monitor the mortals who perform the sacrifices, but also other deities. Therefore, they are very sensitive to the incense smell of each deity and can identify the deity by the scent of the incense.
As he spoke, Ye Lu's senses expanded, enveloping the surrounding area.
The mansion where he appeared was right next to a restaurant and was also covered by his senses.
Not long after, Liu Xuan, the Great Prison God, arrived. Upon seeing Ye Lu's appearance, he asked in surprise, "Ye Lu, what are you doing?"
Ye Lu laughed and said, "It's our turn to make a contribution! I've actually discovered a new god!"
