Heavenly Dao Formula

"What's going on? Be careful!" Ning Qianshi stood up abruptly.

"It was discovered by the maid delivering meals. Seeing that He'er didn't respond, she went into the inner room to check, but there was no one in the room." The guard reported back, "I have ordered people to seal off the entire compound, and carried out investigations from room to room. Look for."

"how come……"

The second prince only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and because He'er was attached to the Tianshu envoy, he couldn't be hooked on being stubborn or mischievous at all. She also knows that she is of great significance, and it is impossible to leave the residence without authorization.

"Let the Xunshu master who is good at hearing the wind and distinguishing positions come over and count all the people in the compound at the same time. I want to know who has left the compound during this period!"

Calm down... He must be calm at a time like this!

Ning Qianshi repeatedly warned himself.

As the container of the celestial hub, it is not that He'er has not done similar precautions—for example, the fragrance powder she often uses has a special smell of medicinal medicine, unless she is thrown into a water tank and soaked for a long time, otherwise this smell will be Sunda's best lead on tracking.

The most critical question is, why would someone target He'er?

Is it because of He'er herself... or because of the Tianshu envoy on her body?

When Ning Qianshi rushed to the residence, Duye Long was waiting for him at the door.

"Your Highness, please call the core members and all the high-level alchemists back to the compound immediately, I think some of them are traitors who have joined the evil forces!"

As soon as the traitor was mentioned, Ning Qianshi felt a splitting headache. Yan Qing and Yu Linglong had problems one after another, which made the Privy Council panic. Fortunately, he did not follow the example of the two and left the Privy Council. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to deal with this situation. Endgame, "Why do you say that?"

"Yu Linglong was hidden by me."

"What did you say?" Ning Qianshi stopped and looked at him in surprise.

Everyone thought that what happened before was that Sheying found this place through her own news channel, and then used her ability to sneak into Qian's room quietly—after all, Yu Linglong's name showed that she was very suitable for assassination and other tasks, and did not cause any outsiders to come. The guarding alchemist's vigilance is reasonable, but she has been hiding in the compound all this time?

"She lied to me, but... she didn't lie to me completely." Duye Taki's expression was quite complicated, and he briefly recounted the ins and outs of Yu Linglong's approach to her in Gyeonggi, "I've been thinking about her so much for a while. The reason for doing it is now understood. The reason why she asked for it and didn't wait for me to find out the situation is not because Senior Yu has a dark heart, but because I am not capable enough, and she can't tolerate a little carelessness."

"You—why didn't you say it right then?" Ning Qianshi said with a sullen face.

Regardless of whether Baihuajian's judgment is correct or not, harboring a suspect is a challenge to the authority of the Privy Council.

"Because the enemy may still be lurking in the compound." Duye Taki said without hesitation, "I was not sure of this until today - I have checked the inner room, and there is no trace of a fight or struggle. He'er She is the owner of the Xianshu Tianxia Chess Bureau, so it is impossible for her to be hijacked without any resistance. The person who took her away must be someone she is familiar with, which made He'er lose her guard."

This is true, although Duye Taki and the others don't know about the Tianshu envoy, they still know about He'er's celestial skills. Ning Qianshi had indeed given her a lot of life-saving magic weapons, even if it was an alchemist at the guardian level, if he approached her without knowing it, he would suffer a dark loss.

The second prince walked into the residence and confirmed that the situation in the room was consistent with what the other party said, "So you think that the evil forces did it, and this person is also a senior member of the Privy Council?"

"Exactly!"

Ning Qianshi stared at Duye Taki for a long time before calling in the guards, "Send me an order to recall all the alchemists who went out to perform missions—including the core members."

"Obey!"

Dozens of homing pigeons soared from the courtyard at once and flew in all directions.

In the next half day, news spread to Ning Qianshi one after another. Master Xun has already confirmed that He'er left the compound and headed towards the outskirts of Huiyang City. As long as it doesn't rain, it will be a matter of time to catch up with the source of the fragrance.

The counting of the guards in the compound was also completed quickly, with no more than one less, and there was nothing suspicious from the whereabouts.

There were six high-level alchemists who went out, including Weihuang and Baizhan. Weihuang rushed back to the compound an hour after receiving the news, but there was no response from Baizhan.

Until the sun was setting, Ning Qianshi received a piece of news that made him shiver.

Layman Yunshang did not arrive at Binshui County to pick up Gan on the way home as planned. The two alchemists who accompanied him were found by front-line soldiers, but they had turned into two corpses.

"Baizhan—!" He gritted his teeth.

...

After passing through a long tunnel, a bronze door half hidden in the dirt appeared in front of Baizhan.

Unexpectedly, there are really undiscovered Yongchao ruins in Liuzhou... He secretly thought in his heart, it seems that Fei Nian really has information that he has not yet grasped.

Although he was somewhat disgusted by the need to use the spells of the previous dynasty, compared with the goal he wanted to achieve, this unhappiness was quickly suppressed in his heart.

He put down the unconscious crane, injected air into the disc on the door, and then held it with both hands and rotated vigorously, the bronze door opened to both sides with a bang.

Inside the door is a dusty cave.

The dust accumulated on the candlesticks is enough to prove that no one has set foot here for a long time.

Baizhan couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, could this place really replace the facilities in the Privy Council's Palace and complete the soul inheritance ceremony?

"Why are you still hesitating? Come in, there is no turning back now." Suddenly a deep voice said.

Baizhan couldn't help shivering!

There is actually someone inside?

As a green sword, he didn't sense the opponent's breath at all!

The torches on the wall lit up one by one, and the dim yellow light immediately drove out the darkness. At the intersection of the shadow and the fire, Bai Zhan saw a man in black robe.

His whole body was covered under the shabby hooded robe, making it difficult to identify him.

"Who are you!?" Bai Zhan drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Tombkeeper." The other party's voice was hoarse and old, "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, Lord Fei has been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, he turned and walked deep into the cave.

Master Fei?

Bai Zhan's heart skipped a beat, he held the crane between his arms, and followed the old man in black cautiously.

After walking dozens of steps and turning a corner, an all-too-familiar figure appeared in his eyes.

It was Fei Nian.

According to the itinerary, he should still be on his way to Liuzhou, how could he arrive at the ruins before himself? And from what the black-robed man said, he seemed to have been here for a while.

"I knew that you would choose this path." Fei Nian glanced at the crane in his hand, and said with a slight smile, "It's never a mistake to want to become stronger. Since you are willing to do everything, I will not let you down." your expectations."
