Chapter 500 (1/2)
500 Terrible misfortune (1)
Something happened to one of his friends … Was it number five, or was it some other junior that Daoist priest Golden Lotus knew?
Xu Qi ‘an made an appropriate puzzled expression. “Where is your little friend? do you need me to mobilize the Imperial court’s troops?”
“She’s in Xiang Prefecture,” Daoist priest Golden Lotus said, shaking his head.
Xiangzhou was to the South of the capital city, about 400 kilometers away … It was neither close nor far. Xu Qi ‘an frowned. I’m not responsible for anything, but I have to apply for leave from the government office. After all, it’s a long journey.
yes. Taoist master Jin Lian nodded. ask the servants in the residence to take leave tomorrow. We’ll leave tonight. We need to hurry … Right, where’s the Prophet?
“If you want to find someone, you must have the help of the Qi observation technique.”
“She’s in the Directorate of Celestials …” Xu Qi ‘an let out a breath and said in a joking tone, “”Alright, I’ll go to her mother’s house and get her here.”
The Prophet must be a woman … No. 6, Heng Yuan, and No. 4, Chu Yuanqi, made their guesses at the same time.
The three of them entered the house and waited. Xu Qi ‘an brought the young mare from the backyard and rode it to the Directorate of Celestials.
The lights in the Directorate of Celestials were on all night. Xu Qi ‘an entered the lobby on the first floor and asked the pharmacists who were working hard on their research, “”Which senior brother can pass the message that I’m looking for Senior Sister Zhong Li?”
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff. The pharmacists exchanged looks and said, “”Senior Sister Zhong Li is in the first underground level, please wait …”
A white-robed man entered. A few seconds later, he shouted, “”Senior Sister Zhong Li, young master Xu is here for you.”
With that, the Warlock ran out in a hurry. He was so fast that it was as if there was a big worm chasing after him.
In the lobby, the other white-robed men dropped their work and rushed to the stairs. In an instant, the hall was quiet. Other than Xu Qi ‘an, there was no one else in the hall.
A few minutes later, Zhong Li came out with her hair down, wearing a coarse robe and her head slightly lowered.
It was a standard mourning dress.
“I need to leave the capital to do something. I’ll be back soon, and I need your strength.” Xu Qi ‘an did not stand on ceremony and spoke directly.
“Oh,”
Zhong Li nodded her head in a concise manner. She was very obedient as a tool.
The two of them left the Directorate of Celestials side by side. Xu Qi ‘an rode on a horse while Zhong Li walked on foot. Their speed was not any slower than the little mare.
Soon, he returned to the Xu residence and met up with the three members of the Heaven and Earth Society led by the Golden Lotus Daoist.
it’s not suitable to fly in the inner city, ” Chu Yuanxi said. we’ll go to the outer city. Brother Xu, please take us out of the city.
If he was alone, flying in the sky and burrowing underground in the inner city would not be a problem. For the sake of the human sect, the experts in the city would not stop him or attack him.
However, if there were too many of them, they would not be able to turn a blind eye to it and it would only cause more trouble.
Xu Qi ‘an led the three men out of the mansion. With Xu Qi’ an leading the way, no matter if it was the night watchman or the Royal sword guards, they only did routine questioning and did not stop them.
On the way, Golden Lotus Taoist looked at Xu Qi ‘an and said in a deep voice, “”Number five is missing.”
Chu Yuanxi immediately looked at Xu Qi ‘an.
Xu Qi ‘an was confused,”what are you talking about?” Hmm, why didn’t Daoist priest possess the cat today?”
“Number five is the number of the holder of the fragment of the Book of the Earth. You should know this. It’s all thanks to you that Hengyuan was saved that day.” Yes, what do you mean by cats?”
Oh, ” Xu Qi ‘an replied. nothing. I remembered it wrong.
Daoist priest Golden Lotus nodded in satisfaction.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded in satisfaction.
Chu Yuanqian looked at the two of them, then at Hengyuan. She smiled and said, “”Is it master Hengyuan who was saved during the Sang Bo case?”
“It’s all thanks to Lord Xu back then,” Daoist priest Hengyuan pressed his palms together and said.
Hengyuan was indeed involved in the Sang Bo case. He had said in the fragment of the book of the nether world that it was all Xu Qi. an’s credit that he could get away from the night watchman’s Yamen … Now, it seemed that there was more to this matter. The Golden Lotus Daoist priest had contacted Xu Qi ‘an through number three, which meant that Xu Qi’ an knew about the existence of the Heaven and Earth Society and the fragment of the book of the nether world.
With that, I was even more convinced of a guess. Although Daoist priest Golden Lotus gave the fragment of the book of the nether world to the students of Yun Lu Academy to celebrate the new year, he actually wanted both.
Chu Yuan laughed but did not say anything.
When they reached the outer city, Chu Yuanxi patted her back, and the human sect’s magic weapon flew out together with the sword and scabbard, hanging in the air.
The Golden Lotus Daoist priest took out a paper crane from his chest and tossed it lightly. The paper crane instantly transformed into a seven-foot long bird, which flapped its wings and circled around.
“Daoist priest, I’ll follow you!” Xu Qi ‘an said quickly.
Even a fool would choose. Chu Yuanyou’s was a standing ticket, while Daoist priest Golden Lotus ‘was a sitting ticket.
Hengyuan and Chu Yuanxi jumped into their scabbards and flew away.
After Xu Qi ‘an and Golden Lotus Daoist priest got on the White Crane, they realized that there were not enough seats for Zhong Li.
“Can warlocks fly?” Xu Qi ‘an asked the’ deceased daughter’.
“No, teleportation formations can only be used by fourth stage cultivators.” Zhong Li shook her head.
Xu Qi ‘an looked around and then at his thigh.
“It’s fine!” Golden Lotus took off the wooden hairpin and threw it to Zhong Li.
Zhong Li held the wooden hairpin, and under its lead, she shot into the sky with a “Xiu” sound, following closely behind Chu Yuanyou’s flying sword.
Daoist priest, you’re walking on. narrow road … Xu Qian said,
The White Crane flapped its wings and flew.
………….
The flying swords, paper cranes, and wooden hairpins rose higher and higher. Slowly, the scenery on the ground began to blur.
Hu … The clouds and mist split apart as the sword and crane broke through the clouds.
The night sky was blue and a crescent moon hung in the sky. The sea of clouds under his feet was frozen and motionless.
The world instantly fell silent.
“We’ve entered the troposphere.” Xu Qi ‘an said telepathically.
The strong wind made it hard for him to open his eyes. Any sound that came out of his mouth would be immediately torn apart by the strong wind, so he could only communicate through voice transmission.
Daoist priest Golden Lotus also had her eyes closed, using her primordial spirit to replace her eyes. After receiving Xu Qi ‘an’s message, she asked in surprise,”Stratosphere?”
“I was just making it up. Taoist priest, tell me about number Five’s situation.” Xu Qi ‘an sent a message.
