Chapter 60 Observation Post

After Wunulatu fell, the Heron Society did not fall. Wutu was still there, and the insect people were still there. After all, they had Ishichel to support them.

Qi Xuansu's first suspect was the Heron Society.

However, after a careful investigation by the Jueshengtang, it was discovered that the rumor actually came from within the Xidao Sect.

So Tan Taiying told Huangfu Ji about this matter. After all, the cause was the leak, and the biggest suspect was also someone around Huangfu Ji.

After Huangfu Ji knew about this, he was very angry. Although he was not the person involved, he was related to him. He felt that I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. If this really caused Qi Xuansu's promotion to the Zhenren of the Advisory Committee to have any problems, then what face would he have to meet Qi Xuansu?

The emperor was angry, and millions of corpses were buried. Although Huangfu Ji was not the emperor, his status and position were there, and his anger should not be underestimated. He quickly found out the person who leaked the secret.

The result was very dramatic. This person accidentally let the secret slip after being drunk, and did not intend to leak the secret. After all, there must be something to talk about at the wine table, either talking about state affairs or talking about the trivial things between men and women.

This matter is related to state affairs and men and women. No matter whether there is anything between the two, just ask whether the two parties are a man and a woman.

The news that Huangfu Xi secretly went to see Qi Xuansu was spread out. After hearing it, the people at the wine table interpreted it and continued to spread it. Regarding the private life of such big figures, many people like to hear about it, and it finally became the Tawanting version of the Queen's story.

Huangfu Ji directly demoted the subordinate who made mistakes after drinking by three levels and retained him. The rest of the people who spread rumors were suspended and demoted, and the lightest punishment was a serious offense.

In fact, Huangfu Ji also understood that this was just to find out the source of the rumor, that is, the part of the leak. These rumors were initially circulated only within the Xidao Gate. It is still unknown who spread these rumors so widely in such a short time that they were no longer limited to the Xidao Gate. There must be someone else.

However, it is really difficult to check a rumor after it spreads. After all, many people will spread it spontaneously. It's like a mine cart going down the mountain. You only need to push it at the beginning, and the rest depends on inertia. Moreover, the West Dao Sect is not as strict as the Dao Sect, and the internal control is not so strict, so what Jue Sheng Tang can do is to prevent the rumor from spreading further.

Although according to the first law, the more official denials, the more credible, this kind of behavior of Jue Sheng Tang personally will cause some people to believe in Tawanting's version of the Queen's story, but they can't care so much. Whether Tawanting's people believe it or not, it will not affect Qi Xuansu's promotion to the real person of the knowledge, as long as the people of the Dao Sect don't believe it.

Things have developed to this point, Qi Xuansu can't help but recognize it.

However, in the process of investigating the source of the rumor, Jue Sheng Tang also had an unexpected gain. They accidentally discovered a traitor of the West Dao Sect, who was instigated by the Gospel Department of Steam Gospel.

There are external forces interfering, that's easy to say, all the responsibility lies with Steam Gospel.

Qi Xuansu certainly wouldn't believe this. External forces do exist and they do have ill intentions, but all problems cannot be attributed to external forces. But Qi Xuansu had to admit that this was indeed a more decent statement. It is better to transfer contradictions outward than to explode them internally.

This traitor also spread rumors, but it had nothing to do with the mission of the Gospel Department. It was completely out of personal interest and he followed the crowd.

As a result, after the incident, others were only demoted and punished, but he went directly to the prison.

The whole thing was full of "outrageous" from inside to outside. It was outrageous enough for the people of the West Dao Gate to brag and leak secrets at the wine table, and it was even more outrageous for the spies of the Gospel Department to expose themselves because of gossiping. The North and the South are indeed evenly matched opponents.

However, the Gospel Department also had something to say. The exposure of the "Ape God" destroyed our arrangements for many years. Those who had a little ability were arrested, and only this kind of stuff was left. Let's make do with it. It's better to have it than not.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, Jueshengtang began to attack external forces, mainly starting with this spy from the Gospel Department. This very unprofessional spy confessed everything without using any tricks, just asking for a few years less in prison.

According to his account, Steam Gospel established a secret observation post near New Paititi, hidden in the rainforest mountains. After all, the southern continent is vast and sparsely populated, with many rainforests and mountains. After a small force infiltrates, it is really difficult to find.

This spy does not know the specific location, but only knows that there is such an observation post.

The name of Jueshengtang shows that they are more concerned about guarding against the Holy Court than guarding against internal conflicts, so Jueshengtang immediately launched a large-scale mountain search operation, determined to find the observation post of Steam Gospel.

Hard work pays off. After all, it is on its own territory. Jueshengtang finally found traces of this observation post near a mausoleum.

Tan Taiying decided to go into battle personally this time and take down this observation post. At the same time, he also reported to Qi Xuansu. After all, Tan Taiying was now under Qi Xuansu's command. This was Yinque's decision, and Tan Taiying still had to respect his superior.

Qi Xuansu had just been dealing with Beichen Hall's reconstruction of the Northern Continent's intelligence system. He wanted to let it go, but Qingwei Zhenren didn't give him this opportunity. He had just contacted him a few days ago and asked him to grasp the general direction and fulfill his duties as the chief deputy hall master. If there was any problem, he would be the only one to be held accountable.

Qi Xuansu had to take care of it, so he held meetings for several days to discuss this matter. Now Tan Taiying wanted to take down the observation post of Steam Gospel. Because Qi Xuansu was rebuilding the intelligence system of the Northern Continent, he was also very interested in the matter of Steam Gospel, so he went with Tan Taiying.

It happened that the three thousand spiritual officials and "horned dragons" had not been withdrawn yet. Tan Taiying, with the mentality of not using them for nothing, directly mobilized a thousand spiritual officials and "horned dragons" to "suppress the bandits".

If they didn't come out, they would use the "horned dragon" to fire a shot.

At this time, Tan Taiying and Qi Xuansu did not go down in person, but stood on the deck of the "horned dragon", overlooking the mountain rain forest below. The spiritual officials had already moved in three directions towards the direction of the mausoleum. Because this mausoleum was built on a cliff, not underground, it was relatively easy to surround it, and there was no need to worry about too many secret passages.

The priests and Templars hiding in the mausoleum had also noticed it and were ready to fight to the death.

This observation post was specially set up by Steam Gospel to observe the movements of New Paititi. It is also a transit station for various intelligence. For example, the intelligence that Qi Xuansu entered the capital and deposed the emperor and empress was sent to the San Antonio Mission in the northern continent through this observation post at the first time. Therefore, the configuration in the observation post is not low. The leading priest is an archbishop, which is equivalent to the third-grade Taoist priest in Taoism.

At this time, inside the mausoleum, the archbishop stood on the sarcophagus of the tomb owner, holding up the holy book in his hand, and was preaching what might be the last sermon in his life: "All flesh and blood are like grass, and all his glory is like flowers on grass; grass will wither, flowers will wither, but the way of my Lord will last forever."

The Knights Templar are different from the Paladins. They are more like the spiritual officials of Taoism.

Many Knights Templar knelt on one knee, pressed their right hands on their chests, and listened to the priest's sermons.

The priest looked over and asked loudly: "Knights, are you determined to sacrifice everything for our Lord, even your own life?"

The knights answered in unison: "In order to defend the glory of the Lord, even if we return to the Lord's arms the next moment, we are not afraid. This is our supreme honor."

The priest nodded with satisfaction and continued to turn the holy book in his hand: "I will represent the Holy See - the most pious servant of our Lord in the world, and give you the sacred power to defeat the evil pagans."

The divine power from St. Francis Cathedral in St. York crossed the distance of space and descended directly into the mausoleum of this southern continent.

Many Templar Knights bathed in this "divine grace" and their strength soared.

Finally, the priest warned these Knights Templar who were determined and devout in their faith: "The supreme will of our Lord is omnipotent. The difficulties and obstacles in front of you are all tests of the supreme will for you. As long as your faith is devout and firm enough, the sword in your hand can cut off all thorns."

The priest's voice contained a strange rhythm, which was beyond the normal scope of motivation. It sounded like the whisper of the devil, leading others into the bottomless abyss.

The Knights Templar were full of fanaticism.

When the spiritual officials approached the entrance of the mausoleum, these Knights Templar who were blessed with divine arts swarmed out and launched a nearly suicidal resistance.

Under the blessing of fanaticism, these Knights Templar broke out with strength far beyond the usual. Their souls were burning. Of course, souls are valuable and a hard currency. The ancient gods wanted souls for blood sacrifices, and the apostles of hell wanted souls for various deceptive transactions. The Knights Templar burned their souls at this time, which naturally exchanged for strength far beyond the usual.

No matter how fanatical the believers are, they still want their souls to return to the embrace of the Supreme Will after death. This behavior of burning souls is definitely not their original intention, but seems to be instigated.

The priest in charge of blessing took advantage of the chaos to escape from another exit of the mausoleum.

He had his own excuse: only by living can he better spread the glory of the Supreme Will, so he can't die here.

If it was just a circle of hundreds of spiritual officials, he might have escaped, but this time Tan Taiying mobilized thousands of spiritual officials, so the priest encountered fire suppression from the spiritual officials as soon as he left the mausoleum.

Although most of the spiritual officials could not fly, they were all equipped with firearms. However, the priest also expected this. A light shield like an eggshell appeared around him, protecting his entire body, and he had to force his way out under various projectiles.

Tan Taiying saw this scene clearly and decided to take action himself. He jumped directly from the deck of the "Horn Dragon" and swept towards the priest.
