Chapter 68: Falling Into a Trap

Tianlang City Palace is located in the north city of Tianlang City. The royal palace is protected by the eight-foot-high, majestic and thick city wall of the royal city. Except for the four gates on all sides that can enter and exit the palace, it is simply harder to sneak into the royal city from other places than climbing to the sky. Teams of brightly-armored Imperial Guards patrolled the city wall all day long, and the battlements on the city were even more heavily guarded with sentries. It is said that there are also Ouchi guards in the palace. These Ouchi guards are all first-class and even masters of transformation, recruited from the world. Sneaking into the palace to steal something is like going to heaven.

Of course, this is just for ordinary people. For the immortal cultivators, the guards of this glorious palace in front of them are just in name only.

The Sirius Palace seems to be particularly dark and quiet tonight. Even when the patrol at the top of the city patrolled, there seemed to be no sound.

In the secret room of the palace hall, the lights were brightly lit. A sixty-year-old man wearing a yellow robe and a crown, leading four royal members wearing purple python robes and purple gold crowns, stood on the steps with a humble face. Down. If outsiders saw such a strange situation, they would be shocked!

Who is it that can make the king of the Sirius Kingdom, members of the Sirius Kingdom's royal family and champion generals treat him with such respect?

At this time, sitting on the throne in the palace was a middle-aged scholar wearing purple clothes. The scholar's eyes were long and narrow, and they flickered evilly when they opened and closed, making people dare not look directly at them.

"Are you five the only remaining members of the twenty-eighth generation of my Jiang family in the mortal world?" The evil middle-aged scholar leaned on the throne and asked indifferently.

His attitude was so indifferent and rude, but the Cang King of the Sirius Kingdom and others standing at the foot of the stairs were always frightened and did not dare to show their dignity.

"Returning to the third uncle, the five younger brothers are indeed the only twenty-eight generations of disdainful descendants. In the past, I only heard that our ancestors of the Jiang family had immortals. The younger generation and others have never been lucky enough to be able to meet them. It is really unworthy. I don't know the three Granduncle is visiting Tianlang City this time, what do you need from me?" Cang Wang Jiang Cang respectfully stepped forward and saluted the evil middle-aged scholar before replying.

King Cang is over sixty years old this year, and his health is getting worse day by day. How can a king who has been a king for decades be willing to give up his own life and the power and wealth in his hands? When he received a mysterious order a few years ago, his originally dull heart became hot again.

It turns out that the rumors are true. The ancestors of the Jiang family actually had immortals, and it seems that they have not abandoned the descendants of the Jiang family in the mortal world. If he could seek some elixir from his ancestor that could prolong his life or even lead to immortality, wouldn't it mean that he could live longer and be a king longer?

The person in front of him is indeed his uncle in terms of seniority. Moreover, this uncle seems to have a very high status in the Jiang family of immortals. If he can serve this uncle to his satisfaction, maybe... …

"Four years ago, I ordered someone to give you an order to receive the immortal cultivators from the Immortal Valley well. You have done a good job. I have been able to come here because I have been on a life-and-death test and have broken through the dangerous barriers of the immortal path. It has been extended to this day. I have never been here before. I support you and suffer for you. Since you are the descendants of my Jiang family, you can't be bullied by outsiders and lose the face of my Jiang family. I have arranged for the Jiang family's Xianmen clan to be in charge of the palace and the Taoist temple that I ordered you to supervise four years ago. "Have you made any arrangements?" The evil middle-aged scholar nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Uncle, the Void Taoist Temple has been completed, located on the Void Mountain northwest of the royal city." The champion general who was responsible for supervising the construction of the project stepped forward and reported hurriedly.

"Your name is Jiang Hai? I heard that you have a daughter named Jiang Ning, who has a rare Nine Yin Mysterious Physique. Is this true?" The evil middle-aged scholar suddenly opened his narrow eyes and stared at him evilly. The person who reported it.

When the purple-robed old man named Jiang Hai heard this, even though he was a general who was used to large battles, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding at the middle-aged scholar's evil eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head to report. Report: "Yes, there is indeed a daughter in this junior's family who was born with the Nine Yin Mysterious Body. However, eight years ago, she was spotted by Cangwu Daxia, a knight-errant in Cangwu Prefecture, and was accepted as a disciple. She just started performing arts a few days ago. Cheng is back. If she hadn't been in the Nine Yin Mysterious Body, I'm afraid that the Cangwu hero wouldn't have accepted her as his disciple. Is there anything wrong with him asking about this?"

"I'm just a charlatan. How dare he accept me as a disciple of a descendant of the Jiang family? I really don't know how to live or die. This girl is of great use to me. Send her to see me tomorrow. If nothing happens, I will take her away." Do you have any objection?" Although the evil middle-aged scholar asked, his tone was unquestionable.

Jiang Hai's face showed excitement, and he thought to himself, could it be that his crazy daughter is destined to be a fairy?

"Uncle, could it be that my daughter has the spiritual roots of immortality due to the Nine Yin Mysterious Physique? In this case, I would like to thank my uncle for his love on behalf of Ning'er!"

The middle-aged scholar smiled evilly and was noncommittal. At this time, his expression changed again, and he suddenly said: "Don't worry, come in, how are things going?"

The stone door of the secret room suddenly opened automatically, and a middle-aged Taoist priest in his thirties walked in with a cheerful face. He held his hands to the middle-aged scholar from a distance and said: "Elder Jiang, that kid has fallen into the elder's trap. He is following the two A little thief is coming towards the palace."

"I've seen Taoist Priest Mo!" King Cang and the royal family hurriedly turned around to greet the middle-aged Taoist priest who was approaching, and bowed their hands in greeting.

Mo Buchou smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you princes, please be polite."

"Hmph, a mere Taoist cultivator actually wants to enter the Buddha Palace. He is really overestimating his capabilities. Jiang Cang, have the imperial guards and imperial guards in the palace been deployed? Remember, once the palace where the Buddha Pearl is hidden is on fire, , and immediately ordered them to surround him, shouting, "Catch the Buddhist treasure thief named Wu." With this, how can he still have a chance to enter the pagoda palace?" The middle-aged scholar stood up, his narrow eyes slightly opened. There was a flash of extremely evil eyes, and he looked towards the outside of the palace with a sneer.

"Elder Jiang has a clever plan. Although that kid is a tenth-level Qi practitioner, he is still just a fledgling. How can he be a rival to Elder Jiang and why he doesn't obediently surrender to our casual cultivator alliance this time?" Mo Buchou said with a smile.

"Deacon Mo, when this elder successfully enters the Pagoda Palace, you will be the elder. From now on, Elder Lai Mo will take care of the royal family of the Sirius King." The middle-aged scholar smiled evilly at Mo Buchou. He gave a meaningful look.

Mo Buchou showed joy on his face and quickly thanked him. The position of deacon of the Loose Cultivators Alliance may seem glorious, but it only yields a dozen spiritual stones every year, and a lot of time is wasted on dealing with the affairs of the Loose Cultivators Alliance. The elders are different. Not only do they not need to deal with the affairs in the valley head-on, but they can also be allocated more than fifty spiritual stones as offerings every year. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of the Sixth Elder will probably always be controlled by the six major casual cultivator families. Now that Elder Jiang Xekong has agreed to this matter, once he successfully joins the Pagoda Palace, an elder's position will be vacant. Since he said this, it meant that he did not intend to let the Jiang family get involved in the affairs of the Loose Cultivators Alliance again. Furthermore, with the Pagoda as a backer, Jiang Xekong no longer needs to rely on the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Such a situation is exactly what Mo Buchou wants to see.

"Thank you Elder Jiang for your support. Pindao will do his best to take care of the Jiang family's affairs in Tianlang County."

Cang Wang and others who were standing nearby were naturally overjoyed when they heard that the Jiang family had roped in another immortal master to be the Jiang family's support in the mortal world, and quickly thanked Mo Buchou.

The group of guys in the secret room laughed loudly. As for why they were laughing, I am afraid only they themselves know.

…

Wu Yan chased the tracking scent he left on the two thieves, and finally found them in front of the royal city. The two of them were quite capable. Although the city wall was more than eight feet high and was as smooth as a mirror, making it difficult to climb, the two of them had a clever trick. They found a loosely defended spot on the city and used a special The flying rope turned into the royal city.

To Wu Yan, this city wall was nothing, so he added a Wind Control Technique to himself, and he flew into the city with ease. The two men were followed along the way, not far or near.

What the blind man said before was true. Although he was blind, he was extremely familiar with everything in this royal city, and he found a palace in a staggering way.

Along the way, we encountered almost no patrolling imperial troops. Wu Yan followed the two of them, feeling very strange and feeling a hint of ominous premonition in his heart. But the pagoda bead was too important to him. Although he was suspicious, Wu Yan followed the two people into the palace without hesitation.

In order to avoid being discovered, the two thieves sneaked into the palace in the dark. Soon, under the guidance of the blind man, the thin man took out a black box from the roof of the palace beam.

The thin man jumped down from the rafter. The blind man touched the box and made a confirming gesture to the thin man. The two of them looked happy and were about to leave the palace and run out with the box in their arms. Wu Yan stood in a corner of the palace, watching all the actions of the two people. He was about to go up and seize the opportunity to seize the black box. Suddenly, Wu Yan looked at the roof of the palace with a changed expression.

At this moment, a fire inexplicably ignited on the roof of the main hall, igniting the entire palace in the blink of an eye. There were faint sounds of countless neat footsteps from all directions, and then countless voices were heard shouting: "There is a thief at night." Break into the palace and catch the thief!"

"Catch the man surnamed Wu. He dares to steal my Tianlang National Buddha Treasure. Catch the Wu thief!"

Countless shouts, as if agreed in advance, sounded uniformly from all directions.

The two thieves looked at each other with frightened expressions, and the blind man reacted and shouted: "No! Rat, we have been tricked!"

"Uncle Blind, how could this happen? Didn't they promise to give us a thousand taels of gold as long as we stole this pagoda bead? Didn't that person say that he was responsible for diverting the guards of the royal city away?"

The two of them were still confused and confused when the thin man suddenly felt a light touch in his hand and the black box was gone. A cold snort came from a corner of the palace, and then a big hole was opened in the stone wall of the hall. A shadow like the wind rushed out of the hall and disappeared into the night.

The blind man and the thin man felt that something was wrong and were about to run out of the hall when they suddenly felt a pain in their hearts. Then they were horrified to find that a flame had inexplicably ignited in their hearts. In a moment, the two of them were burned to ashes before they could even scream.

A farmer and a scholar appeared strangely behind them. The two of them put away the spells in their hands, looked at the hole in the hall, sneered a few times, and followed closely with a flash of inspiration under their feet.
