Sign in to the lower realm for 100,000 years, and you will become invincible when you ascend!

Chapter 54 She won’t agree
Inside the imperial palace.

The princes from all directions stood not far from the empress.

Zhenguo Hou Zongyunshan.

Pingduhou Fu Zhenglong.

Du Xiusheng, the Marquis of Zhongting.

Taishi Hou Liao Wenshan.

"Your Majesty called us here, what are your orders?" Fu Zhenglong asked directly, being straightforward.

The other three people also looked at the empress.

"In recent times, the Martial God Alliance has acted more and more unscrupulously. Do you have any relevant news?" the empress asked lightly.

He always held the jade pendant in his hand.

The Sifang Marquis has long been accustomed to this.

"It's not good. There have been more and more frictions with the Martial God Alliance recently. Because a large number of manpower was deployed to clean up the Xixian Pond, we suffered a lot." Fu Zhenglong said directly.

The empress was silent for a few seconds and did not answer.

Instead, he looked towards Zong Yunshan.

The latter hurriedly said: "Inside and outside the Imperial City, many people from the Martial God Alliance have indeed sneaked in recently. We are working hard to investigate and have already eliminated some of them."

The empress said: "This is the first time in so many years that the Martial God Alliance has infiltrated Daqian Imperial City in large numbers. If you kill them, a new batch will infiltrate in. What's the reason? You just kill them without asking the reason?"

Zong Yunshan swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I... am investigating, but there is no clear clue yet."

The other two stood nearby and couldn't say anything.

The battle between the Martial God Alliance and the Daqian Dynasty was mostly about combat power.

Zhongtinghou was in charge of the civil servants, and it was his duty to assist the empress in reorganizing the court affairs, and he had nothing to do with the Martial God Alliance.

Liao Wenshan, the Marquis of Taishi, supervises all officials and it is his duty to search for corrupt officials.

But at this juncture.

Tai Shihou couldn't stand it anymore.

He said: "Your Majesty, I know that since Lu Ran's name appeared on the Immortal List that day, you have arranged a large number of manpower to check the Xixian Pond, but this move, I feel is inappropriate!"

The empress frowned slightly and looked at Tai Shihou.

If it were anyone else, they would immediately not dare to speak or disobey the Holy One.

But Liao Wenshan, a supervisor of all officials, has a tough personality and will do whatever he says!

So he continued: "The nine states in the spiritual world are so big that our Daqian Dynasty and even the entire eastern border of Cang Territory are no more than a tiny place. The chance that Lu Ran happens to ascend within the Daqian territory is almost zero. Such a useless use of a large number of troops Doing this is completely useless! Doesn’t it provide the Martial God Alliance with an opportunity to infiltrate?”

in other words.

If they hadn't gone to find that Lu Ran, the Martial God Alliance wouldn't be in such trouble!

The empress looked at Liao Wenshan calmly.

Her expression was calm and indifferent, and her emotions could not be seen.

But usually no one would dare to disobey her like this.

Liao Wenshan ignored this and continued: "Moreover, I heard that the king has arranged additional manpower to expand the search area, which will inevitably consume several times more troops. This move is dangerous!"

At this time, the empress looked at Du Xiusheng who had been silent.

Asked: "What do you think, Marquis Zhongting?"

Du Xiusheng seemed to have already prepared his words.

After hearing the empress' question, she immediately spoke: "The Martial God Alliance has been coveting the territory of Daqian for so many years. Although its behavior is domineering, it is not stupid. Even if it mobilizes a large number of troops to clean up the Xixian Pond, the masters left behind inside and outside the imperial city There are countless people, and the Martial God Alliance absolutely does not dare to act rashly. The king is eager to find people, so this move is understandable."

Ambiguous, neither denying nor supporting.

He only said that he understood the king's behavior.

"There is indeed something to be said for calling the four of you here today," the empress said.

The four people immediately stood up straight and listened attentively.

"First, expand the scope and continue searching. Regardless of whether there are any results, please inform me in time."

"Secondly, the Martial God Alliance has behaved abnormally during this period, and it's probably because they have some agenda. The Marquis of Pingdu and the Marquis of Zhenguo must be deployed closely inside and outside the imperial city."

"Third, rumors have been spreading among all the officials in the dynasty recently. From today onwards, Tai Shihou will conduct a thorough investigation of all officials. If there is any double-mindedness, he will be killed first and then reported!"

"fourth……"

The empress here arranges the arrangements.

It can be seen that he is not entirely focused on finding Lu Ran, but is still wary of the Martial God Alliance.

The other side. In Zonghou's mansion, Zong Qing took Lu Ran to the backyard.

There are indeed some troops patrolling here.

But seeing that it was Zong Qing who brought people here, they didn't ask anything. The two of them walked straight in, passed through many checkpoints, and entered the backyard.

This place seems to be specially built.

In this huge Zonghou Mansion, there is such a paradise-like back garden.

Various building corridors are scattered around the lake.

Passing through a corridor, it connects to the island in the middle of the lake.

In addition to a main house and two side houses, there is only one pavilion on the island in the center of the lake, dotted among the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms.

Tang Yingruo sat in the pavilion, staring blankly at the mirror-like lake in front of her.

I'm afraid my thoughts have already flown to the sky.

The entire backyard is wrapped in a forbidden barrier, and once you reach the backyard entrance, you can't enter.

Lu Ran stood at the door and saw the beautiful figure in the pavilion on the island in the center of the lake from a distance.

"Ying Ruo..." Lu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tang Yingruo ascended one day earlier than him, separated for ten days, and now he is seen again in the spirit world.

The youngest apprentice was now locked up like a canary, and the anger in Lu Ran's heart instantly boiled.

Zong Qing didn't notice anything next to her.

Introducing, he said: "This is right here. There is a barrier in front of it and you can't get in. I didn't have the chance to communicate with that woman."

Lu Ran looked at Tang Yingruo.

He asked calmly: "Even if you are accepting a disciple, don't you think Zong Yunshan is overbearing by doing this?"

Hear the words.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Zong Qing's face.

He shook his head and said: "It is indeed overbearing, but I understand my father's good intentions, and if they don't agree, he will send them away from Xiazhou, so there is nothing wrong with him."

It's good to have a simple mind, but Zong Yunshan was able to brainwash him with just a few words.

Lu Ran exhaled slowly.

Said: "The girl on the island in the middle of the lake is called Tang Yingruo."

Ok?
Zong Qing was stunned and looked at Lu Ran in surprise. Didn't you say you didn't know him before?
"She ascended not long ago and was brought here by your father a few days ago. She would not agree. She has a master." Lu Ran continued.

"You...you really know her? But you just..." Zong Qing was a little confused.

Lu Ran took a step forward.

A hand slowly stretched out.

ba da~
A transparent barrier blocked Lu Ran's hand, and his palm slowly pressed against the barrier.

As if it was disturbed, the barrier rippled, and in the blink of an eye, a huge transparent cover could be seen wrapping the entire backyard.

This is the barrier set up by Zong Yunshan.

Lu Ran's eyes were gleaming.

With the blessing of the Tianling Eye and the full-level formation, the barrier can be seen through almost at a glance!
The spiritual power flows out from the palm of the hand, following the veins of the barrier, peeling off the cocoon!
Complex lines instantly covered the entire protective barrier, and countless spiritual runes began to swim around like snakes.

Zong Qing realized something and said in shock: "Ye Nan, no!"

at the same time.

Outside the backyard, two figures came quickly.

They were the two great Luo Immortals that Lu Ran had met before!

Before he could even reach him, he said, "The Marquis is right, your intentions are indeed impure!"

Inside the island in the middle of the lake.

Tang Yingruo couldn't hear anything going on outside because of the barrier.

But he could see that the entire barrier began to shake, and he was a little surprised and didn't know what was happening.

Turning his head subconsciously.

Outside the lake, Tang Yingruo was stunned by the familiar figure.

"Master..."
