Starting from the equal opportunity to become a saint

Liu Zimo was very confident in his ability to hold his breath.

In other words, he is very confident in his ability to "steal the sky".

Because so far, Liu Zimo has never been discovered by anyone else despite deliberately hiding it.

Even Dugu Wenpei, who was the first to reveal his secret identity, only discovered the secret of Liu Zimo when he accidentally saw the scene of Liu Zimo taking action.

From the beginning to the end, Dugu Wenpei did not find out the real secrets of Liu Zimo, and did not even figure out Liu Zimo's true cultivation level.

After experiencing the lessons of the Dugu Wenpei incident, Liu Zimo learned a lesson and became more cautious.

Even though his cultivation level has already far surpassed that of Dugu Wenpei, and even the monks in the Return to Void Realm can be easily destroyed, he has never made the same mistake again.

This time he ventured out of Qianyuan Hall, and it was the same.

From the beginning to the end, he kept his breath inside, hiding his movements, not daring to reveal even a single breath fluctuation.

Because he knows very well how difficult the target he is tracking is.

This Ji Chuan not only seems to have the magical power of eye magic like that girl Xiaoxiao's [Eye of Breaking Delusion], but also has an unusual identity. He is probably accompanied by one or several guardians with higher cultivation levels.

To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of this person, which had seriously threatened the safety of Liu Zimo and his three precious disciples, Liu Zimo would not have taken such a big risk and followed him personally.

Out of Qianyuan Hall.

Duanmu Xueshan and Ji Chuan escorted Xuanfeng Daozi and others back to the governor's mansion.

Liu Zimo followed the group like a shadow.

While listening to Ji Chuan's voice, Liu Zimo was also constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to find any possible protectors around Ji Chuan.

As a result, Liu Zimo didn't find any clues after following him all the way.

Within dozens of kilometers around Jichuan, Liu Zimo could not find any suspected protector.

In this way, he followed Ji Chuan and Duanmu Snow Mountain directly into the governor's mansion.

"Take them all to the A-shaped cell, and tell Lao Sun to fully activate the protective formation in the cell. Be careful if someone comes to rob the prison without following the rules!"

Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, Duanmu Snow Mountain directly ordered the soldiers escorting Xuanfeng Daozi and others to temporarily take these Immortal Alliance prisoners into custody.

Then, Duanmu Snow Mountain invited Ji Chuan to the study of the back house.

"Mr. Chuan is laughing at me. I never thought that people from the Immortal Alliance would dare to act so wantonly and blatantly frame the first place in the ceremony!"

"If such a mistake occurs, I, the county guard, will naturally bear the blame. When I turn around, I will write a letter of apology to His Highness the Third Highness!"

As soon as he entered the house, Duanmu Snow Mountain couldn't wait to take responsibility for himself in front of Ji Chuan.

The accident happened in Donglin County under his jurisdiction, even under his nose. Naturally, he, the county governor, was responsible for dereliction of duty.

Instead of waiting until His Highness the Third Highness gets the news and is convicted, he might as well accept the punishment directly now, at least to give the Third Highness the impression that he has a good attitude towards pleading guilty.

"Haha, the governor of Duanmu County is serious. People from the Immortal Alliance have made mistakes. What does it have to do with you, the governor?"

Understanding what Duanmu Snow Mountain meant, Ji Chuan chuckled and shook his head:

"The Immortal Alliance's tyranny and arrogance have not changed for a day or two. How could the third brother not know about it?"

"Don't worry. I will cover up what happened today with Third Brother. I believe Third Brother understands justice and will not blame you!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Snow Mountain could not help but feel a hint of joy in his eyes.

His Highness, the Fourteenth Highness, was willing to speak kind words for him, which he couldn't ask for more.

Isn't that why he lowered his stance just now?

But he didn't expect that Ji Chuan would be so easy to talk to. Before he even asked for mercy, he already understood and gave him the result he wanted in advance.

[I have always heard that the Fourteenth Prince is incompetent in literature, incompetent in military affairs, has dull qualifications and is not very smart. 】

[Now it seems that they are all just rumors! 】

[Although His Highness Chuan’s cultivation qualifications are indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, his mind is definitely very smart...]

Duanmu Snow Mountain's inner voice naturally flowed into Liu Zimo's ears.

Liu Zimo glanced at Ji Chuan, who was sitting in the main seat, and instantly understood that this was also a scumbag who liked to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

He obviously has extraordinary talent and successfully advanced to the third level of transcending tribulation at the age of five thousand years, but he has always kept it hidden and presented himself as a dull person.

Recalling that this girl was the Fourteenth Highness of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Zimo could not understand that this Ji Chuan was either trying to protect himself or was plotting something evil. He was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

"Thank you Mr. Chuan. I am deeply grateful!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain gathered his thoughts and quickly bowed to thank Ji Chuan, with tears of gratitude on his face.

"Master Duanmu doesn't have to be like this, I'm just telling the truth!"

Ji Chuan shook his head and smiled, then asked Duanmu Snow Mountain quietly:

"I wonder if Lord Duanmu has already made a decision, how do you plan to deal with that Xuanfeng Daozi?"

When Duanmu Snow Mountain heard this, he immediately stood up solemnly and said loudly:

"Of course, business matters must be dealt with. Once Hu Yong's investigation is completed and the evidence is conclusive, we will do whatever we have to do. I will never act privately!"

"Really?" Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows and said quietly: "As far as I know, the identity of Xuanfeng Daozi is not ordinary. His master is Qi Wenjing, the third leader of the Immortal Alliance. Lord Duanmu is not afraid of Elder Qi. Will you come to the Sheriff's Mansion in person?"

really.

The Fourteenth Highness already knew Qi Xuanfeng's true identity, and he was deliberately trying to point him out.

Duanmu Snow Mountain was shocked and quickly stood up and said bluntly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Chuan, no matter what the identity of the other party is, as long as he has violated the laws of the divine dynasty, it will be useless for anyone to come!"

"As long as the official is still the governor of Donglin County, it will not be the turn of an elder from the Immortal Alliance to comment on the affairs of Donglin County!"

When Ji Chuan saw this, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

No wonder the third brother attaches great importance to the Duanmu Snow Mountain. Not only did he put him in the position of the governor of Donglin County, but he also placed the venue of this low-level immortal realm promotion ceremony in Donglin County.

This Duanmu Snow Mountain is indeed a very talented person, and he is also very courageous.

If there are no accidents, after this immortal realm promotion ceremony, his position will probably move up again.

Of course, the premise is that he can get through this hurdle, really be able to stop Qi Wenjing, and set good rules for the Immortal Alliance!

While he was talking, Hu Yong had already brought his people back from Qianyuan Hall and went straight to the study to report back to Duanmu Snow Mountain.

"Reporting to the Governor, we have completed the inspection of Qingyun Immortal Gate and Qianyuan Hall!"

"The Qingyun Immortal Sect currently has two hundred and thirty-one disciples, and there is no trace of the forbidden drug remaining in their bodies!"

"Also, we have direct evidence to show that Qingyun Immortal Sect experienced at least two attacks and murders by unknown forces before the start of the last game!"

"Here are the relevant evidences we collected from the Qianyuan Palace. Please take a look at it, Lord Sheriff!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain, with an unchanging expression, stretched out his hand to take the special certificate and inspection report handed over by Hu Yong, lowered his head, glanced at it slightly, and nodded clearly.

"As expected, it's [Enchanting Fragrance]!"

"When I was in Qianyuan Hall just now, I already sensed something abnormal. I didn't expect it to be the scent of this thing!"

As he spoke, Duanmu Snow Mountain frowned tightly, with evil spirits rising in his eyes:

"First, they sent people to attack and kill, and then they poisoned them. If we add in the two anomalies that occurred in the Bibo Immortal Sect during the game, the total is four times!"

"In order to make Qingyun Xianmen lose this game, those people really worked hard!"

Obviously, Bibo Xianmen's abnormal performance in the competition has also attracted the attention of Duanmu Snow Mountain.

But now, the Bibo Immortal Sect has been destroyed by the group and all members are dead, making it difficult to investigate and collect evidence.

However, it is an indisputable fact that someone has intervened in the competition more than once and murdered the contestants.

As the main person in charge of the Han section of Donglin County, what the other party did was a slap in the face of Duanmu Snow Mountain.

If this news reaches the ears of the Third Highness in the future, how can the Third Highness spare him lightly?

"Hu Yong, you should lead people to investigate this matter thoroughly now!"

"Bring all the people related to this matter to me, regardless of their identity or background!"

"I will use their blood to help those who still want to interfere in the grand ceremony, wake up!"

"I want them to know who has the final say in Donglin County!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain spoke sternly with evil eyes and gave instructions to Hu Yong.

Hu Yong was excited and knew that the county guard was really angry and wanted to take action.

Not daring to hesitate, he quickly responded and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Before Hu Yong could exit the room, Duanmu Xueshan seemed to have thought of something and spoke again:

"Adjust the protection level of Qianyuan Hall to the top level, and send a team of red-armored guards to guard outside Qianyuan Hall!"

"Before the ceremony is officially over, we must not let any more surprises happen to Qingyun Immortal Sect!"

Because of the leader of the Immortal Realm, Qingyun Immortal Sect has now become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people.

This time, I don’t know how many heads will be chopped off because of this incident, and how many forces will be destroyed because of this.

Invisibly, Qingyun Immortal Sect has offended too many people and forces.

If their protection level is not improved, Duanmu Snow Mountain is worried that the same thing will happen again.

And next time, Qingyun Immortal Sect may not have such good luck again.

"Yes, Lord Sheriff!"

Hu Yong ordered him to retreat again.

"Tsk tsk, they even used the [Enchanting Fragrance], which shows how much those people wanted to make Qingyun Immortal Sect lose that game!"

After Hu Yong left, Ji Chuan clicked his tongue twice and spoke loudly:

"However, what I am more curious about is how the Qingyun Immortal Sect avoids the effect of the [Enchanting Fragrance]?"

Although he already had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his mind, Ji Chuan still acted extremely curious, as if he didn't know anything.

"Yes, I am also puzzled!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain continued:

"When I discovered that there was a residual aura of [Enchanting Fragrance] in the Qianyuan Hall, I already had such doubts in my mind."

"Logically speaking, since the incense has been ignited, everyone in the Qingyun Immortal Sect should have been tricked."

"But during the game, they didn't show any abnormality..."

"However, as long as they don't violate the rules, it doesn't matter what method they use!"

Duanmu Snow Mountain is very open-minded.

As the general person in charge of the east division of this competition, he only cares about whether anyone violates the rules and regulations, and everything else does not matter.

"Lord Duanmu is right. No matter what methods Qingyun Immortal Sect uses, it is their ability and has nothing to do with others."

Ji Chuan nodded in agreement and said quietly:

"What I'm more concerned about now is what role the Immortal Alliance played in this."

"Today's deliberate move against the Qingyun Immortal Sect, is it a personal move by Xuanfeng Daozi, or is it under the instructions of some leaders of the Immortal Alliance?"

Duanmu Snow Mountain's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he still responded positively:

"It's simple. Once the official interrogates Xuanfeng Daozi and his party, everything will become clear!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Chuan, no matter who this matter affects, I will never let you go leniently!"

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Chuan's face, stood up directly, and said in a serious voice:

"It's better not to delay things. If things are too late, things will change. Anyway, there's nothing going on right now. I'm going to interrogate you now!"

"If Mr. Chuan is interested, why not come with us?"

Duanmu Snow Mountain politely invited him, but Ji Chuan simply shook his head and refused on the grounds that he was physically and mentally exhausted from the long journey.

This was in line with Duanmu Snow Mountain's wishes, and he did not force it. After personally arranging a rest room for Ji Chuan, he stood up and left.

Liu Zimo ignored Duanmu Snow Mountain and continued to stay by Ji Chuan's side to monitor Ji Chuan's every move.

Just when Liu Zimo was thinking about whether to take advantage of this opportunity to release Yao Lingling and completely control Ji Chuan, he saw Ji Chuan take out a sword command from his arms.

brush!

With a squeeze, the sword command instantly shattered.

An aura that made Liu Zimo's heart palpitate spread out from the broken sword order.

Whoosh!

Just in an instant, a cyan figure suddenly appeared in the wing.

A middle-aged monk in blue brocade robes stood in front of Ji Chuan with a serious face and bowed to Ji Chuan.

Seeing this person, Liu Zimo's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Another "good brother" came to my door on his own initiative.

Seeing the dazzling light hovering above the middle-aged monk's head, Liu Zi completely bound him without even thinking.

[Binding successful! Your good brother Xue Enping is online and can currently be bound to objects (1465/2000)]

After the binding was successful, Liu Zimo clicked on the "!" symbol next to Xue Enping's locked shadow. In an instant, Xue Enping's phase difference attribute panel appeared directly in front of Liu Zimo's eyes:

【Name】Xue Enping

【Age】138668

【Spiritual Root】The best earth spiritual root

[Cultivation realm] Overcoming the nine realms of tribulation

[Gong Techniques] Thick Earth Technique, Secret Technique of Transforming Shapes, Twelve Ways of the Great Zhou Destruction Spear, Secret Earth Escape Technique...

"Ninth Tribulation Realm, this should be the protector next to Ji Chuan, right?"

Liu Zimo looked at Xue Enping up and down and whispered to himself.

At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart.

Fortunately, he didn't take action directly just now, otherwise if he were to lure out the Nine Tribulation Realms, he might not be able to survive it!

"I have met His Highness Fourteenth. I wonder why His Highness summoned him?" Xue Enping asked Ji Chuan.

Ji Chuan nodded slightly to Xue Enping and said, "Xue Gongfeng is too polite. I just want to ask Xue Gongfeng to help with something."

Hearing this, Xue Enping said: "If your highness has any instructions, it's okay to tell him directly!"

Ji Chuan said: "Duanmu Snow Mountain just captured Xuanfeng Daozi of the Immortal Alliance in Qianyuan Hall, Xue Gongfeng must have seen it too."

"If nothing else goes wrong, Qi Wenjing, the third elder of the Immortal Alliance, will come over soon to get people."

"With Duanmu Snow Mountain's current strength, I'm worried that he won't be able to resist it, so I hope you, Xue Gongfeng, can help me..."

"no!"

Before Ji Chuan finished speaking, he was bluntly rejected by Xue Enping.

"My mission is to protect the safety of His Highness the Fourteenth Highness. The life and death of other people has nothing to do with me!"

"Moreover, Qi Wenjing is in the Seventh Tribulation Level, and his cultivation is on par with me. If a fight breaks out, I won't have time to worry about His Highness's safety!"

Obviously, this Xue Enping does not want to wade into this muddy water.

Otherwise, with his cultivation in the Ninth Tribulation Realm, it would not be as difficult as imagined to subdue Qi Wenjing, who was only in the Seventh Tribulation Realm.

It's just because Qi Wenjing is not only the third elder of the Immortal Alliance, but also the younger brother of the leader of the Immortal Alliance, with an extraordinary background.

If you really offend Qi Wenjing, it will be equivalent to offending the leader of the Immortal Alliance, and even the entire Immortal Alliance. The gain outweighs the loss.

"An opportunity to enter the treasure house of the gods!"

Ji Chuan naturally knew why Xue Gongfeng refused, so he directly offered his price without any further nonsense.

"After this is done, I will ask Third Brother to apply for a chance to enter the treasure house of the Divine Dynasty for you!"

Sure enough, after hearing the conditions offered by Ji Chuan, Xue Enping's figure trembled slightly, and a pair of tiger eyes flashed.

Apparently he's moved!

"I wonder how far His Highness Fourteenth wants me to go?"

Xue Enping hesitated for a moment and asked Ji Chuan in a deep voice, but before Ji Chuan could speak, he continued:

"If His Highness the Fourteenth Highness wants me to kill Qi Wenjing directly, it would be better not to open his mouth. I simply can't do it!"

Ji Chuan chuckled softly and said: "Don't worry Xue Gongfeng, I won't make it difficult for you. You just need to stop Qi Wenjing when he makes a move."

Xue Enping raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it just a simple stop?"

"Of course!" Ji Chuan nodded and said: "No matter what method Xue Gongfeng uses, as long as he can be stopped, Qi Wenjing will not be allowed to hurt Duanmu Snow Mountain, or Xuanfeng Daozi can be rescued!"

Xue Enping thought for a moment and nodded decisively.

"Okay! I've accepted this task!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness Fourteenth. I'm here to guard you. I won't let Qi Wenjing step into the governor's mansion today!"

Even if he knew that this task would not be so easy, Qi Wenjing would probably not cooperate obediently.

But Xue Enping finally took it with great confidence.

There is no other way, the opportunity to enter the treasure house of the gods to select treasures is really great! (End of chapter)
