When Qin Tiexin returned to the small courtyard, Chen Xi had already woken up.
He was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform in the small courtyard, playing with a dark jade talisman in his hand. When he saw Qin Tiexin coming in, he raised his head and smiled.
"Have you inquired about everything in the city?"
Qin Tiexin told what he saw and heard that day, including the interrogation at the city gate, the monks who were taken away on the street, and Ministry of Rites's progress over there.
Chen Xi After listening, the corner of his mouth curled up.
"The heat has arrived." He said, "The plan can be advanced."
Qin Tiexin didn't ask how to push. When doing things, senior brother always lays out the situation and then closes the network step by step.
Two days later, the network closed it down.
The royal family followed the clues handed over by Su Qing and investigated quietly. Chen Xi dialed a few more keys in the dark. The investigators thought they were investigating secretly, but in fact, every step they took was on a road that had been paved long ago.
After checking again and again, the thread pointed directly to the Great Brahma Dynasty.
Within the Myriad Stars Dynasty, most of the people from the three major Buddhist temples Great Brahma Dynasty, Golden Summit Temple, Brahma Sound Valley, and Bodhi Monastery, were raided and arrested overnight.
Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot.
Arena Trial found out that Chen Du was picked up and silenced.
The fact that Zhaoming Temple was exterminated has also been found out. Everything points to Golden Summit Temple.
When searching for Brahma Sound Valley, I followed the clues and found Xiao Residence.
The evidence is solid, Xiao Household is full of people, and he has committed four major crimes.
Secretly taking refuge in the Great Brahma Dynasty Brahma Sound Valley and betraying Myriad Stars Dynasty information, this is a rule.
Smuggling Myriad Stars supplies in exchange for Life-Extension Pill and Realm-Breaking Pill, trying to help Old Duke of Tranquil Peace attack Nascent Soul, but unfortunately failed, this is the second article.
Collect the blood of the Chen Clan's direct descendants, hand it over to Holy Buddha Son, and use it as a medium for Curse. This is the third article.
The most poisonous thing is the fourth one.
Inside Xiao Residence, there is actually a branch of the Curse grand formation secretly located, located closest to the imperial city. The branch operates day and night, continuously sending the power of Curse into the palace.
I heard that the emperor smashed the table into pieces and ordered the royal guards to surround Xiao Residence.
Xiao Household had already prepared, and the core characters had already fled in batches when the news first came out.
When the guards surrounded them, the mansion was already mostly empty. Those who were left behind were all desperate soldiers, and the resistance was extremely fierce.
But the real battle is outside the city.
Old Duke of Tranquil Peace is left behind Xiao Residence. His beard and hair are all white and his body is stooped. He has to be helped to walk on weekdays. He doesn't live for a few years.
But that day, he took a golden elixir, and in a moment his white hair turned black, his stooped body straightened inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye he became a young man in his thirties.
The breath climbed all the way up and stopped at Golden Core Peak, faintly touching the threshold of Nascent Soul.
Seeing that this guy was desperate, Chen Household directly sent four ancestors of Golden Core Peak out of the city to intercept him.
That battle started in the suburbs of Ten Thousand Stars City. The battle fought by the Golden Core Peak monks could not be described as more than "fierce".
Waves of light from Law Artifact, Principle and Law Technique were constantly intertwined in the air, affecting the surrounding mountains and forest terrain a lot. A few of them even fell in the sky above Ten Thousand Stars City, heading straight towards the monks in Ten Thousand Stars City.
Even though there was a large defensive formation, people in the city could still feel the ground trembling.
Some people with low cultivation levels could not stand firmly and had to hold on to the wall to avoid falling.
Qin Tiexin stood in the small courtyard without going out.
He saw several beams of light rising into the sky and then falling on the horizon outside the city. The normal battle lasted for nearly three hours before everything finally calmed down.
Later, news came that Old Duke of Tranquil Peace was sealed by the four ancestors and killed on the spot, without even a chance for Golden Core to self-destruct.
That was an old guy who had lived for almost a thousand years. When he died, he couldn't even breathe out his last breath of death.
The emperor immediately issued a sea arrest document, and military monks went out to search for Xiao Residence's direct descendants who had escaped.
In three days, most of the people were captured and Xiao Household was imprisoned, and their homes were ransacked and their doors sealed.
Only Xiao Wan and Xiao Yan were missing, and Benhong, who followed Brahma Sound Valley, was not caught either.
When searching the house, the sergeant dug up the destroyed magic circle underground in Xiao Residence. The wreckage still carried the lingering aura of Curse, which was irrefutable evidence.
News spread to the small courtyard one by one.
Qin Tiexin listened and didn't say much. Senior Brother Chen Xi looked confident.
The wind in Ten Thousand Stars City is getting louder and louder every day.
From time to time, officers and soldiers escorted people passing by on the street. Buddhist monks became the target of public criticism, and even many innocent Rogue Cultivator monks were mistakenly arrested and imprisoned for a few days. After being released without asking any questions, they were released.
Qin Tiexin doesn't go out these days. He only stews meat, stands in the yard, and practices swordsmanship.
Chen Xi also talks little. He occasionally goes out and comes back with a faint smell of blood, and he doesn't say where he went.
That night, Qin Tiexin finished practicing Heavy Mountain Saber Technique, collected Edgeless, and sat on the threshold wiping sweat.
"What do you think about Xiao Residence?" Chen Xi came out of the house and handed over a bottle of water.
Qin Tiexin took it and took a sip.
"It's not over yet." He said, "Xiao Household deserves to be punished for his evil deeds. But Xiao Wan, Xiao Yan, and Benhong are all missing, especially Xiao Wan, which is definitely a serious problem."
Qin Tiexin knows the strength and potential of Xiao Wan. With Buddha Sound Physique, he was named "Buddha Maiden". In the False Core Realm, he realized the powerful Principle, and with the investment of more than half of Brahma Sound Valley, Core Formation is something he can easily capture.
Chen Xi sat down next to him.
"Those three who ran away are indeed troublesome." He said, "These three people have all had problems with you. Especially Xiao Wan, she is determined to have the bracelet on your hand and will not let it go."
Qin Tiexin didn't answer the call.
He knew in his heart that Xiao Wan's temperament would come back sooner or later once he escaped. In that scene in the ring, he admitted defeat and reported her, cutting off her path and creating a deadly feud.
There is also Xiao Yan, the woman who came to Lin Residence to break off the engagement and was punched by him to knock off the three-layer protective shield. Now I don't know where she has escaped.
"I have a hunch." Qin Tiexin said, "The grudge between us and them has not yet come to an end."
Chen Xi glanced at him and nodded.
"Then practice your sword skills faster."
Qin Tiexin said "Yeah" and continued to turn around and practice his sword skills.
This purge lasted for several days. Many people were arrested and many were killed.
Qin Tiexin did not participate. He just stayed in the small courtyard, practicing every day, and waiting for news.
After another two days, the atmosphere in the city became more relaxed.
Many Buddhist monks who were mistakenly arrested were released one after another.
Every day, people are taken away from the entrance of the Yamen, supported by their family members, and limped out. Although their faces are not good-looking, at least they all have to be tailed.
Even Bodhi Monastery released a lot of them.
In this incident, among the three Buddhist temples, they committed the least evil. They were incarcerated, but they did not suffer too much.
However, no one knows whether the imperial court is serious about opening up the situation or letting them follow the example.
Qin Tiexin didn't inquire much and just stayed in the small courtyard.
He continued to stew meat and pulse pulse every day, and the Blood Bead in his heart became heavier day by day. According to his own feeling, in the past few days, Meridian Seed would be able to condense and prepare for the first pulse pulse.
Chen Xi has not come out since the retreat that day. Occasionally, very light spiritual energy fluctuations can be heard in the room.
In the afternoon of that day, Jade Slip of Qin Tiexin received a message. It was the official of Ministry of Rites who was responsible for the preparation of Zhaoming Temple.
"Master Mingjue. Tomorrow, Zhaoming Temple will be completed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince will all attend the ceremony in person. The master is the abbot, so I hope you can make preparations in advance. The clothes for the ceremony have been prepared, and you can come and pick them up at any time."
Qin Tiexin responded and said he would go get it today. After turning off Jade Slip, he turned to look at the place where his senior brother was retreating.
The final plan has begun.
