Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 696 Night Talk (Part 1)

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hush!" Li hurriedly made a silent gesture.

The visitor knocked on the door, "It's me, I have something to ask you."

Everyone in the house was stunned, judging from the voice, the other party was the Venerable Shengtian.

"Why did she find the boss at this time?" Shan Hui lowered his voice.

"Why don't you pretend to be asleep?" Jiulin also suggested in a low voice, "Everyone is here, so I'm not afraid of her breaking in. Uh—"

Before she finished speaking, Luo lightly tapped her on the head, and the Tengu was not spared either. "Okay, let's all go out and let His Excellency talk to Li alone for a while."

Shan Hui was shocked, "Miss Luo, could it be that you have secretly joined the Heimen—"

Seeing the other party's hand raised again, he quickly covered his mouth.

"Luo Qingqing?" Li asked in surprise.

"I don't think Venerable Shengtian has any ill intentions towards you, so you can see her at ease." Luo nodded slightly at her, "I will also stay outside, just in case."

"Since you said that..." Li turned to Shan Hui and the others and said, "Then everyone should go back to their rooms first, and we will meet later."

When the boss opened his mouth, the others could only agree.

After the door opened, everyone filed out, but Venerable Shengtian didn't care at all, as if he had expected this scene long ago. After everyone left, she walked into the room and closed the door behind her.

"What do you... want to talk to me about?"

After thinking for a while, Li decided to use honorifics. She didn't know much about this person, and the only thing she could confirm was that she was much older than herself and possessed impressive skills. Judging from the moment when she approached him and he almost didn't react, this person's fighting ability will not be much worse than the Qingjian of the Privy Council.

"We are leaving for Jinxia tomorrow. Before that, I want to have a complete understanding of Jinxia City." Venerable Shengtian found a chair and sat down, "Tell me about the things over there, especially you How did you go to Jinxia, ​​and how did you get to know that alchemist named Xia Fan?"

Li couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Why do you have to come to your room alone to talk about this kind of thing? After tomorrow's departure, it will take at least two or three days on the road, which is enough for her to inquire.

"Are you sure you want to listen? I'm afraid it will take quite a while to talk..."

"It's okay, it's better to spend your time here than to cause trouble." The venerable said disapprovingly.

"...causing trouble?" The fox demon was stunned.

"The reason you guys got together is to take the opportunity to explore this courtyard after most of the people are asleep." A gleam flashed in the other party's eyes, "I advise you to give up this idea, because evil spirits are most active at night No one knows what horrible thing will suddenly appear in which room in the lower area."

"Uh..." Li twitched the corners of his mouth. In fact, they did have this plan. They managed to sneak into the headquarters of the Black Gate Sect. If they didn't search for it themselves, they would be sorry for the name of the investigation team. "Don't those evil spirits appear regularly?"

"You thought it was a wild night, but in fact the courtyard is always in a state of wildness—this is an area flooded with evil spirits." Venerable Shengtian chuckled.

flood zone.

This answer made Li gasp in surprise.

After the fall of the Yong Dynasty, there have been many evil-infested areas on the mainland, some of which were wiped out by the Privy Council at a great price, and some of which still exist today. She has also seen with her own eyes the horror of a city being reduced to a flood zone. If no one clears it, the evil threat of the flood zone will never subside.

She just didn't expect that the center of Baiyao Mountain would become an area infested with evil spirits.

It's obviously very normal here during the day.

"There's nothing strange about it. When you see this patio, you should understand that the number of people it once accommodated was no less than that of the capital of Xu State, or more than ten times." Venerable Shengtian said slowly, "Someone I went to the kingdom of heaven, but there will definitely be many people staying here. After their death, their anger will not dissipate for a long time, and finally formed an evil flood area. Of course, this area is located at the bottom of the courtyard, but at certain times it will rush into the upper floor, threatening to our quarters."

"How deep is this courtyard?" After a while, Li Cai came back to God.

"Currently, the Salvation Church has gone to the 55th floor underground, and the bottom is still bottomless." She shook her head, "This is also the most troublesome problem for the Pope. We urgently need lighting and weapon resources to open up the passage between the upper and lower floors. In the end, he found the activation device of the Kingdom of Heaven. If it wasn't for this problem, he would never have agreed to contact Jinxia so easily."

In other words, Salvationism has not yet found the real kingdom of heaven?

This answer made Li's heart skip a beat.

For such an important matter, is it really okay for the other party to just say it directly?

"So for the sake of safety, it's better for you not to go anywhere." Venerable Shengtian raised one leg and changed his sitting position, "Now let's talk about your...cough, about Jinxia, ​​you should not be from Shenzhou people?"

"To be honest, I don't know where I was born..." Li pouted, "The reason why I went to Jinxia was purely an accident. At that time, I regarded the alchemists of the Privy Council as my enemies, so I mixed in with the alchemists. In Qingshan Town, the examination site, I did not expect to meet a very strange person."

That was the first time she met Xia Fan.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Venerable Shengtian had mixed feelings.

She didn't expect that fate would be so wonderful that she would see Li again one day. According to her vision, Li's best life is to wander around the countryside or remote villages and towns, never to be discovered by the Privy Council. When she was still in Shangyuan, she was able to protect the other party in the dark, but after the split of the Privy Council, she was escorted to Xu State, and all of this became a matter of fate.

Then the convoy was robbed by the Black Gate... or the Salvation Church.

This is also a means for them to quickly win over alchemists.

The Privy Council uses the scholar examination to screen those who are sensitive, and the Salvation Church directly snatches people from the Privy Council, especially those who hold different political opinions from the court or the Seven Stars. The sect has eyeliners all over the place. Although they can't listen to confidential information, they can still get wind of an earth-shattering event like the Wanjing Tower.

She was extremely disappointed with the Privy Council at the time, and she gradually learned about the inside story of the Black Gate Sect, so she finally chose to join the other side and became a member of the sect.

After spending several years being promoted to Venerable Shengtian, it is not that she has not inquired about Li's whereabouts, especially the execution records of Shangyuan City. She has been paying attention to whether there is a fox demon among them.

To be honest, this is actually just a means of consolation, because the Privy Council does not necessarily treat demons as a key example, and may kill them if they encounter them. She can only deceive herself, and no news is good news.
