Chapter 30 The Secret of Yashan

Qi Xuansu strode towards the city wall: "Li Tianlan, come with me!"

At this moment, an iron nail that looked rusty and even bloody appeared out of thin air, with clear edges and corners, three inches long, and pierced directly into Qi Xuansu's chest.

This is the "holy nail", one of the artifacts of the Holy See. Unlike the "Hirari Scripture" which is an artifact from the hands of the apostles of hell, this is a gift from the Supreme Will, so it is also called a holy artifact.

In addition to the "holy nail", there are also "holy cup", "holy emblem", "holy shroud", "holy ark", "holy crown of thorns", "holy robe", "holy handkerchief", "holy bones", "scarab", "holy image" and so on. All of them are crowned with the word "holy" by the people of the Holy See.

In fact, Qi Xuansu had come into contact with similar holy artifacts before, such as the "holy spear Longinus", also known as the "spear of Longinus" and "spear of destiny".

Shi Luosi of Mary Cathedral once summoned the projection of "Longinus".

"Holy Spear Longinus" is called "Spear of Destiny", which is different from "Holy Spear Osiris" which is called "Spear of Judgment". The latter targets the body, while the former targets the soul.

It is said that "Holy Spear Longinus" can divide the soul of others into countless pieces without hurting the body, and make a soul contract.

It is no secret that Li Tianlan has intersections with Westerners. As early as the second Jiangnan case, he used Shi Luosi to hold Lei Xiaohuan, which was also something Qi Xuansu experienced personally.

Even Qi Xuansu's warrior physique could not stop the tip of the "holy nail", and the entire nail sank into Qi Xuansu's chest. ..

Because the symbol of the Holy Court is an inverted triangle, there are three holy nails, which just correspond to the three corners. One of the holy nails was melted into the "Iron Crown", which is the authoritative token of the emperor of the Western Continent. When he ascended the throne, it served as proof that the emperor was appointed by heaven. People without this crown, even if they become emperors, cannot meet the strict definition, which is equivalent to the "Chuan Guo Xi" in the Central Plains. There was another one, which was thrown into the turbulent sea to calm the tsunami.

Obviously, this iron nail is the last "holy nail" and the only "holy nail" in the hands of the Holy Court.

Of course, this is not the real body of the "holy nail". The priests of the Holy Court are very good at summoning the projections of these so-called holy artifacts, borrowing the power of the holy artifacts for a short time, making the holy artifacts truly public objects, which is incomparable to the Taoist immortals. However, Taoist immortals also have advantages, and they can often take advantage of the terrain.

Qi Xuansu stopped and looked at a black-clothed figure.

It was the cardinal deacon Shi Luosi.

Although this name is very Central Plains, the owner of the name is a real Westerner, just like Qi Xuansu also used a Western name when he went to Saint York.

This person is also an old ally of Li Tianlan. His cultivation is equivalent to Lei Xiaohuan. Both are in the stage of heavenly man and immeasurable, and he is also a saint.

Shi Luosi is different from the steam evangelists of the Western Continent. He is from the orthodox Holy Court, so his methods are different. He does not have a variety of steam transformation and alchemy, and is very good at summoning holy artifact projections.

Qi Xuansu said in a deep voice: "Shi Luosi, you obstructed the last major case in Jiangnan. This time you took action again. Do you really think that the Taoist sect dare not do anything to you?"

Shi Luosi said: "Li Cixi is my friend. I can't watch my friend suffer and remain indifferent. I think there must be some misunderstanding here. I want to invite Li Cixi to the church as a guest, and then wait for the reply from Jinque."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "Waiting for change? There is no such possibility. On the contrary, Li Tianlan can be charged with one more crime, communicating with the Holy Court. As the chief deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, this happens to be within my authority. Even if the hall master comes in person, he can't save you.".

Li Tianlan's face was gloomy, and his breath was a little shaky. Obviously, he was seriously injured by Qi Xuansu's punch just now.

Qi Xuansu reached out and grabbed the "holy nail" on his chest, and pulled it out violently: "Do you two think you can stop me?"

As Qi Xuansu moved, the "holy nail" was pulled out, without blood flowing, but a series of bright thorns were pulled out, which were completely condensed by light. As the "holy nail" pierced into Qi Xuansu's chest, it had already taken root. At this time, Qi Xuansu pulled out the "holy nail", naturally pulling out the roots together.

At the same time, these thorns were pervasive, and even rushed out from Qi Xuansu's seven orifices, extending wildly, and even on the surface of the skin, thorns appeared like blue veins bursting. Countless thorns intertwined together, completely engulfing and wrapping Qi Xuansu, and the light reached a peak, turning Qi Xuansu into a ball of light that could not be looked at directly.

Shi Luosi was very self-aware and said to Li Tianlan: "Brother Li, the power of this 'holy nail' can only delay him for a moment, it can't kill him, let's go first."

Li Tianlan nodded and was about to leave with Shi Luosi, when Qi Xuansu's voice rang again: "You can't go anywhere."

As soon as the voice fell, the dazzling light suddenly dimmed.

The thorns condensed by pure light began to wither rapidly, and the "holy nail" held in Qi Xuansu's hand became illusory and dissipated into light spots.

After all, this is just a projection, not the real "holy nail". It can cause some trouble to Qi Xuansu, but not that much trouble.

Shi Luosi's face suddenly changed, and it was very ugly. He had tried his best to overestimate Qi Xuansu, but he didn't expect to underestimate Qi Xuansu.

The main reason was that Qi Xuansu had just absorbed a piece of "Xuanyu" and took a step further. Although he had not yet crossed the door of pseudo-immortality, he was undoubtedly more powerful than before.

Qi Xuansu was still leisurely and said a cold joke: "Li Tianlan, this nail from a Westerner has completely nailed your coffin board. Collaboration with the enemy is an unpardonable crime!"

Li Tianlan's face turned pale.

Qi Xuansu continued: "Even if I beat you to death, Master Qingwei can't say anything wrong."

The next moment, Qi Xuansu will take action again to capture both of them.

What about representatives of Westerners? As long as the evidence is conclusive and the Holy Court is at fault, it will naturally be taken down together.

But it seems that someone is destined to compete with Qi Xuansu tonight.

It seems that Qi Xuansu is the court's eagle dog. If he wants to catch someone, there will always be a "righteous man in the world" who will draw his sword to help him when there is injustice.

At this moment, a sword broke through the sky and landed between Qi Xuansu and Li Tianlan.

The mighty sword light was like a comet penetrating the sun, parting the night and scattering the rain clouds, leaving its tail mark for a long time. It's like a ray of light shining into a dark room.

Is it clear with just one sword?

It actually has the aura of opening the sky with one sword.

Li Tianlan and Shi Luosi both breathed a sigh of relief.

They are knowledgeable people, so they can naturally see that the power of this sword is even greater than that of Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was neither surprised nor angry. He did not look at the long sword that had fallen to the ground, but looked up at the gap in the night. He put his hands behind his back, and he didn't know when he held a colorful feather fan in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a voice seemed to come from very far away. The voice was gentle, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze. It seemed like a whisper in the ear, but it also had a bit of heroic spirit: "I haven't seen you for several years. Chief Qi's cultivation is unexpected." Having advanced so far, he is worthy of being on par with the young national master. It is rare to meet him today, so I should learn from him..."

Qi Xuansu is no longer good at speaking these arrogant words. He speaks in official terms: "I don't care who you are or what your background is. What you did today obstructed law enforcement, blatantly resisted the Taoist government, and even antagonized the Taoist sect. I will follow the law." I will take you down and hand you over for trial.”

The voice was getting closer and closer: "It's a pity that Chief Zhang is not here. Chief Qi alone may not be my opponent."

The two people are talking like chickens and ducks, with completely different painting styles.

The whole night began to shine brightly.

A man in a white robe descended from the sky, surrounded by mist. If you look closely, you can see that it is actually a strong sword energy that gathers and disperses erratically, like countless fish gathering into a school and swimming rapidly.

The person who came was actually a pseudo-immortal inherited from a Qi Refiner.

And he is an acquaintance of Qi Xuansu.

Wu Guangbi is the head of the "Tianting" avenue.

When he was in Nanyang, Wu Guangbi was once hostile to Qi Xuansu, but his heart was ripped out by Madam Bai. In the end, it was the Patriarch Jin Gong himself who rescued him. In the following period, Qi Xuansu vigorously supported Liu Gui's faction and suppressed Wu Guangbi's faction, making Wu Guangbi's life miserable.

If there is anyone who hates Qi Xuansu the most, then Wu Guangbi must be one of them.

Now Wu Guangbi has naturally recovered to his original appearance, and his image has changed drastically. He is no longer the magic stick he used to be, but has returned to the Central Plains dress, wearing a white robe. Although he has not yet grown his hair, he wears a Confucian crown. His bald head was mostly covered, and he looked really elegant. If not, Shi Bingyun wouldn't have had a relationship with him back then. As for women, one is to be strong, and the other is to look at appearance. As for their character or not, sincerity or not, these are secondary matters. In terms of appearance alone, Wu Guangbi is quite handsome.

Qi Xuansu said expressionlessly: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be the leader of Wu Da Dao. It is true that Jinque began to trial the policy of normalizing some secret associations. Tianting was indeed among them, but Jiangnan Daofu was not within the scope of the pilot. , your presence here is against the rules.”

Wu Guangbi smiled and said: "It seems that Chief Qi speaks fluently in official terms and adheres to the rules. It's just that you tell me the laws and regulations, which makes me want to laugh."

Qi Xuansu showed no mercy: "Is that what you call me, Chief Qi? You are not a member of the Taoist sect, and it is not your turn to take the title. You should call me Master Qi."

Even though the clay figure was very angry, Qi Xuansu was so disrespectful. Wu Guangbi finally couldn't stand it anymore and narrowed his eyes: "Qi Xuansu, I just call you by your first name, what can you do? Zhang Yuelu is not here, and you are afraid of being alone. There is no need to use "two swords combined."

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "To deal with the three of you, there is no need to have two swords combined, nor is it necessary to have Chief Zhang, I am enough alone."

As the words fell, countless firelights illuminated the night. It seemed that the Jinling Mansion was not late at night, but sunset.

A female voice sounded: "Okay, okay, okay, burn them all to ashes!"
