The stolen magic is a bit magical
Chapter 440 The Sacred Lotus Emerges from the Mountain, and the Winds of Change Turn
Shen Yinchuan laughed loudly: "With your womanizing ways, many beautiful women probably want to kill you. Given your past actions, Hydra might really want to bury you underground. But I don't believe what you said yourself!"
"Okay, okay, you guessed right, I really am on my honeymoon in Java." Lin Xiaosu rolled her eyes. "Take me to the station, I want to go home."
"Which station? I'll take you straight back to Fengcheng!"
Lin Xiaosu was surprised: "Weren't you so busy you were practically jumping around? You actually had time to give me a ride?"
"For the problem you solved for me today, you deserve a gift!" Shen Yinchuan turned the steering wheel and onto the main road leading to Fengcheng...
Shen Yinchuan sped all the way, taking Lin Xiaosu directly to the entrance of the detective agency.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, there were three beautiful women inside: Miao Ruolan, Zhou Xi, and Zhou Mei, who was wearing a police uniform.
"Shall we go in and sit down?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
"No, as you said, I'm actually incredibly busy..." Shen Yinchuan said, "Just a little gossip: which of these three have you already hooked up with? Or all of them?"
"Damn!" Lin Xiaosu retorted with an exclamation, "There's even a police officer in this one. You have so little faith in your own colleagues?"
"Is it strange that you lack confidence in your colleagues? I don't even have confidence in my own boss!" Shen Yinchuan said, "Do you know who I'm talking about? I've seen four of them, and they're all in that category!"
Lin Xiaosu gave a look, speechless at this moment!
Get out of the car, close the door, and wave lightly behind your head...
Shen Yinchuan's car started, and he disappeared.
Lin Xiaosu went to the detective agency.
Miao Ruolan saw it at a glance and almost dropped the teacup in her hand...
More than two weeks ago, she broke with convention and sent him a message, simply because he had been away from home for far too long this time and she was worried about him.
After that message was sent, she checked her phone a hundred times a day...
Each time, I try to lift my spirits even higher...
Today, all my worries are gone!
He is back!
His face was serene and gentle, exuding a dashing and handsome air; he really looked like he had spent several months on vacation in some tourist area.
"Ha!" Zhou Xi jumped up: "Brother Lin, have you seen the police? We were just about to call the police to find you. The police are taking this very seriously and have come to our door to investigate."
"Go away!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Zhou Mei is the director of the Tashan Police Station. They only contacted her when the wild man on Tashan went missing."
"You disappear for months at a time, wilder than a savage..."
Everything in the detective agency has come to life.
When the three women asked about his whereabouts, Lin Xiaosu scratched his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I found a young girl and went to Java for my honeymoon."
"Tch!" Zhou Mei scoffed dismissively. "Java Island? Honeymoon? I doubt you even know where Java Island is! That crappy place is no place for a honeymoon? Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask if you don't tell me. I'll just ask Ruolan tomorrow!"
She went out and returned to her tower.
She left, and the door closed...
Zhou Xi glanced around outside and said, "Brother Lin, we've received another 250!"
This "250" is not an insult.
Even if it looks like an insult.
But it really isn't.
It was a reward for my trip to the Middle East.
The mission to bring back the seven steps from the Middle East is incredibly difficult, and the rewards are capped at that level.
The cap is 500 million.
There were three of them...
Damn! This shouldn't be 250 million, it should be 167 million that can't be divided evenly...
Why 250 million?
Has Qianlong really overlooked that little wench Xinyue? Does he really not consider her human?
With a sigh, Lin Xiaosu accepted the tea that Miao Ruolan handed her: "I went abroad and did some things for 101. Speaking of which, it took three months to earn 250 million. Isn't that a bit low?"
"Small? My goodness, Brother Lin, are you trying to drive all entrepreneurs crazy? Someone has calculated that in a lifetime, those who work hard and end up saving 200 million are extremely rare..."
Lin Xiaosu returned to Fengcheng, and everything was calm and uneventful.
But in the Qiaojie area, endless storms have already swept up to the Litianzu Temple.
Inside the ancestral hall, there is a secluded hall.
The room was dimly lit, a faint glow from the lava waterfall on the distant horizon.
The two sat facing each other in the room, with a chessboard still in front of them.
These two were none other than the Left Envoy and Qingru.
The Left Envoy held the white piece, which remained suspended in the air for a long time. His gaze was fixed on the sky outside the window, where three-legged red crows were flying back and forth, several times more numerous than usual.
"Left Envoy, what's your opinion on the matter of Youyuan?" Qingru picked up the teacup beside her.
"A strange situation, but perhaps it has given us an opportunity." The Left Envoy flicked the white piece in his hand, and it fell into the chess box. Playing chess is not really playing chess, but a form of leisure. Once you enter the conversation mode, you don't need to play chess anymore.
“I understand the strange situation!” Qingru said, “We have analyzed Li Qing in detail. This matter is completely inconsistent with her past personality, but… you said, this is the opportunity?”
The Left Envoy smiled slightly: "Having been in the Ancestral Hall for two months, the things I seek are boundless. However, after this change in the Bridge Realm, all the major races are pointing their spears directly at the Ancestral Hall. The Ancestral Hall needs to consider the layout of the outside world, and the layout of the outside world cannot be separated from the Sacred Lotus."
Qingru's eyes lit up...
They have been in the ancestral hall for so long, and their requests have already been made.
However, the ancestral hall elders have never given a direct response.
This shows that this matter is a very difficult decision for the ancestral temple.
The ancestral hall needs external access and external foundations.
However, the Sacred Lotus is no ordinary thing, and the Ancestral Lotus never leaves the mountain, which has always been an ironclad rule of the Ancestral Temple.
However, the situation has now changed dramatically.
The ancestral temple's array masters had actually committed such a heinous act in the Netherworld, massacring array masters from over a hundred races and plunging the Bridge Realm's millennia-long enterprise into an unprecedented crisis. How could those races possibly let this go unpunished?
A strong countermeasure has been launched against the Ancestral Temple. Its strongholds in major cities have been destroyed one after another, and its people are being killed wherever they go.
Moreover, the united forces of all races already have the intention of aiming their swords at the ancestral temple.
The ancestral hall is indeed powerful, and it certainly has many magical treasures. However, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot overcome the united forces of the hundred races. The more magical treasures it has, the more likely this turmoil will continue indefinitely.
Extermination of clans and the plundering of treasures are the most common occurrences in such chaotic realms.
It's strange that people wouldn't stand for it if it were presented in the name of righteousness and fueled by the hatred between different ethnic groups.
Therefore, the ancestral temple must make a decision!
The best solution is to move the mountain gate to Wangduan Mountain, where Yan City is located.
Looking towards the mountain, with its back to the outside world, once the ancestral temple is occupied, it can be attacked or defended at will.
If they encounter a powerful enemy, they can enter the human world through that passage. Once inside the human world, apart from the Li Tian clan, no other race dares to cross the line.
To transform this passage into a vital lifeline for the tribe, allowing for free movement within and outside the tribe, they must utilize the Sacred Lotus to establish a presence in the external Durta Kingdom.
This is the opportunity the Left Envoy was referring to.
The times are pressing. The age-old tradition of Saint Lotus not leaving the mountain is now at a critical juncture concerning the survival of the ancestral temple. Are you not going to change it?
A figure flashed outside, and a member of the Li Tian clan entered the room, bowing slightly: "Left Envoy, the Grand Elder invites you!"
The Left Envoy stood up: "Qingru, pack your things! We'll go see the Grand Elder first, and then we'll leave!"
"Yes!"
The two left the side hall where they had lived for more than two months and went to the Elders' Council Hall.
Inside the hall, the Grand Elder slowly turned around: "What you ask for, I can grant! However, the Sacred Lotus can only be controlled by the Sacred Envoy..."
Half an hour later, a three-legged red crow soared into the sky, carrying five people on its back.
Three holy envoys, plus the left envoy and Qingru.
These three holy envoys are the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Ninth Elder.
They all hold high positions and wield great power.
Moreover, his cultivation level was profound.
The Third Elder has already reached the half-step fourth realm cultivation level.
The Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder are both at the peak of the Third Realm.
Converted to external cultivation levels, it would be roughly equivalent to the High Realm of Sky-Gazing.
Its combat strength is the same as that of the Nirvana One.
The Third Elder was even stronger than Zhen Shen, a Nirvana cultivator.
The three-legged red crow swept across the sky, covering a thousand miles in the blink of an eye, before landing on Wangduan Mountain.
The mountain god temple was very quiet.
The Third Elder frowned slightly: "What's going on? Didn't we already send someone over? Where are they?"
The Seventh Elder's gaze swept around the mountain god's temple: "There are signs of life, which means they should have arrived by now, but the people are nowhere to be seen..."
"The two people mentioned earlier also disappeared more than two months ago!" the Ninth Elder said. "Could it be that someone is really targeting the Mountain God Temple?"
The Left Envoy frowned slightly, looking somewhat bewildered.
The Mountain God Temple was not an important part of the Li Tian Ancestral Temple at all; it was just a checkpoint where people entering and leaving were checked. The checks could only be done on bloodlines. It was originally just for show because only members of the Li Tian clan could enter, so it didn't matter whether they were checked or not...
Who has a reason to kill inspectors?
It can only be someone whose identity cannot withstand scrutiny!
People whose identities can't withstand scrutiny, yet can still come and go... well, there's only one type of person: legitimate humans!
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind; that person was Lin Xiaosu.
After the Earthly Army annihilated the Tiger Army, Lin Xiaosu disappeared without a trace.
Could he have actually come in?
If he really did come in, then the temple elders are utterly incompetent. How could they possibly defend against a grown man like that?
or……
Something went wrong at the temple?
“Three Holy Envoys, let’s hurry over there. Perhaps something has really happened at the temple!” said the Left Envoy.
"go!"
The five people stepped into the underground passage and soon arrived at the bronze door. The five people and the five strange tokens represented the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Five Elements Gate opened silently.
The five people stepped into the secret room.
The moment the door to the secret room opened, the lights suddenly blazed on, and two long rows of soldiers, all armed with submachine guns, pointed their weapons at the five men: "Hands up, lie down!"
The Left Envoy's heart pounded!
Flying Eagle Army!
Something did indeed happen at the temple...
He was gone for two and a half months, and the temple had already fallen...
"Kill!" the Third Elder uttered a single word!
The Seventh Elder and Ninth Elder beside him suddenly disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, a giant beast appeared simultaneously behind both groups of soldiers. With a swift movement of its claws, the soldiers were no longer in formation.
In a matter of moments, blood flowed like a river.
The passage alarm blared, and someone shouted, "Someone's coming out again! There really is a door leading to the underworld..."
"Stop them!"
"Report to the general!"
……
It was a mess outside.
The Left Envoy's heart skipped a beat: "Again? Sure enough?" (End of Chapter)
