Chapter 41 Marshal Tianpeng

Generally speaking, in major towns, celestial beings will not fly easily. It is too ostentatious, and it is easy to be considered as plotting something bad. Otherwise, why fly so high? This is especially true for people in various secret societies who need to hide their identities.

However, it is not absolute. For example, it is not difficult to fly for a short time under the cover of night. There is another situation, that is, if you are fearless and have something to rely on, you don’t care if you are not afraid of being discovered by others.

Today’s situation is due to the cover of night and the reason for fearlessness.

There are not a few celestial beings in Jinling Prefecture, but these celestial beings are either in the game or watching from the sidelines, involving the internal struggle of the Taoist sect. In the case of unclear situation, no one except those in the game will act rashly.

Even the day before the meeting began, several people had temporarily left Jinling Prefecture.

For example, the military commander of the Jiangnan Admiral left Jinling Prefecture in the name of inspecting local defense, and now he has arrived in Qiantang Prefecture.

There was also the head of the Jiangnan Daofu, who went directly to Yujing after Lei Xiaohuan ordered the siege of Mary Cathedral, and several deputy heads of the palace left with him. This time, Jinque reached a compromise with the Holy See Cardinal, and the head of the palace also contributed to it.

As for the specific matters of the Jiangnan Daofu, they were naturally handed over to the chief deputy head of the palace, Bai Yingqiong, and the second deputy head of the palace, Li Tianlan.

In addition, the governor of Jiangnan went to the Jiangnan Navy Station, and accompanied by the admiral of the Jiangnan Navy, the military commander, he began a half-month inspection of the coastal defense.

It rains a lot in summer, and the flood season is approaching. The governor of Jiangzhou, who is in charge of civil affairs, has led people to inspect the river defense embankment and will not return to Jinling for a while. According to the calculations of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, this year's flood peak will far exceed last year, so in this regard, several garrison commanders and deputy commanders will also assist.

There are also some idle people who have nothing to do, and they don’t even need an excuse, they just leave directly.

Today's Jinling Prefecture still looks heavily guarded, but in fact it is already strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Just like the current Zhenwu Temple.

Zhenwu Temple was originally heavily guarded, mainly composed of four parts, namely the spiritual officials of Jiangnan Daofu, who were responsible for the outer perimeter. The internal part was respectively in charge of the spiritual officials of Beichen Hall, Tiangang Hall, and Ziwei Hall.

Now, the spiritual officials of Ziwei Hall were taken away by Lei Xiaohuan and Pei Xiaolou, and the spiritual officials of Beichen Hall were transferred by Li Mingcheng, leaving only the spiritual officials of Tiangang Hall.

After Qi Xuansu fired a gun to warn, he immediately understood this point, and a deep fear surged in his heart.

Without thinking, he turned around and ran to the dungeon.

On the other hand, the dungeon was isolated from the outside world, and it was difficult to alarm the people in the dungeon with just a gunshot, so the dungeon was still as brightly lit and people came and went as before.

Zhang Yuelu was still sitting in front of the desk, looking at the newly obtained confession. He felt uneasy after reading a few lines. Taoists do have a saying of impulsiveness, especially when practicing "Ziwei Doushu", they can even foresee the future by chance. It is said that Buddhists who practice "fate communication" can also foresee the future in dreams.

Zhang Yuelu has had impulsiveness more than once, and his premonitions have always been very accurate.

Zhang Yuelu put the confession on the desk in front of him, signaled the spiritual officials on both sides to take Ye Xiu away, and then took his whisk and stroked it gently like a man stroking his beard.

Ye Xiu was broken through and confessed a new confession, including business dealings with "Tianting" and various things he did for Li Tianlan. Although this old man has not completely despaired, he still has reservations, fearing that he will be abandoned after confessing everything, but it is only a matter of time.

Jinque has communicated with the cardinal, and the cardinal agreed to hand over the person. At the earliest tomorrow, no later than three days, he can enter Mary Cathedral to arrest Marshal Feng. Without the support of the Holy Court, Cardinal Deacon Shi Luosi can't make any big waves.

Pei Xiaolou got the news that one of Li Tianlan's subordinates was suspected of being unable to bear the pressure and was preparing to abscond, and Pei Xiaolou had gone to arrest him personally. Before he left, he did not forget to let Zhang Yuelu know.

No matter how you look at it, the situation is very good. In a few days, the case will make a major breakthrough. By then, no means of pressure will work. It's like fighting on the battlefield. As long as you can win, you can suppress all the contradictions, and those are nothing. On the contrary, if you lose, then all the suppressed contradictions will burst out,

But Zhang Yuelu did not relax his vigilance.

Because these things, whether it is the confession, the arrest of Marshal Feng, and the arrest of the Taoist priest who is about to abscond, are all victorious, but none of them has been settled and sealed.

In other words, there is still the possibility of a reversal.

This is the darkness before dawn, and it is also the darkest moment of the day.

Qi Xuansu's shot still alarmed the surrounding spiritual officials in charge of the realm, but before these spiritual officials could react, they were knocked down by the sudden volley of fire guns.

The spiritual officials' armor was indeed very tough, but the fire guns were also unusual. They all used "Sun Shooting Long Guns" and were equipped with "Dragon Eye Yiyi".

Such fire guns and such bullets were of course waterproof. They were carried on their backs and dived over.

Qi Xuansu was about to retreat into the dungeon with other spiritual officials when a figure fell from the sky and blocked the dungeon's door. It was the man who rose from the water moon.

I saw that this man was tall and fat, as black as a hill. He was wearing a black crane cloak, but no middle coat, with his arms open, his chest and abdomen exposed. His face was broad and ears were big, his face was red, and his face was full of arrogance. There is a string of rosary beads hanging on the chest, carved to look like a human head, the size of a fist, and inlaid with various colored gems, it is very terrifying. But what really surprised Qi Xuansu was not this person's appearance, but the fact that the energy and blood around him had reached an incredible level. It is said that a person has hot blood and Qi and blood are like fire. From the perspective of the out-of-body Yin Shen, the rich Qi and blood is like the blazing sun, but under normal circumstances, Qi and blood will not be like this.

But as soon as this person stopped here, Qi Xuansu felt a rush of hot air blowing against his face, and the surrounding temperature seemed to rise a bit.

This is the manifestation of overflow of Qi and blood.

However, this is very unreasonable. Logically speaking, the body of a celestial warrior has been tempered for thousands of times, and his qi and blood are extremely condensed. His body is said to be flawless, so how can there be a leakage of qi and blood?

Although this person's Qi and blood are strong, they are not condensed, so they cannot hide them without leaking. They are loose and loose, which makes his body so fat. After all, under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for heavenly beings to control their body shape. If they cannot control it, there must be a reason.

"I'd like to teach you that a certain family is the 'Tianting' Marshal Tianpeng. I'm here today because I want to test the power of the Taoist sect." Marshal Tianpeng's voice was like thunder, and with a wave of his hand, all the spiritual officials gathered flew out.

Qi Xuansu was feeling better, his body moved back, but he felt his chest was tight and his breath was not smooth.

But in this way, the entrance to the dungeon is close at hand but far away, becoming out of reach.

Marshal Tianpeng said softly, a little surprised that Qi Xuansu was not vulnerable.

Qi Xuansu was also a decisive person and immediately turned around and fled in the other direction.

Regardless of whether Marshal Tianpeng's Qi and blood are condensed or not, the realm of heavenly beings cannot be faked. He is not an opponent and can only avoid the edge temporarily. It's a pity that the Yin energy here is not strong, so it is impossible for him to invite the three Yin creatures to take action.

Marshal Tianpeng frowned and waved his hand instead of chasing after him personally.

His own subordinates went to hunt him down.

He turned around and looked around. At this time, the entrance to the dungeon was closed, and the formation was activated from inside.

After all, the dungeon is not an ordinary place. The formations were designed at the beginning of construction, and the materials used in the building itself are very good. The stone door that seals the entrance and exit is more than ten feet thick.

If you want to break such a stone gate, even a heavenly being will have to spend some energy.

Marshal Tianpeng laughed, walked down the steps, came to the stone door, and struck out with all his strength.

There was a loud bang, as if the surrounding ground shook violently, and a palm print with clearly visible palm prints appeared on the stone door. The palm print was centered and spread to the surrounding cracks.

The power of this palm is not insignificant, but compared with the stone gate that is more than ten feet thick, it is still far behind.

"Good guy, turtle shell."

Marshal Tianpeng did not panic or be impatient. He ordered his subordinates: "Purge the spiritual officials in the Zhenwu Temple and place the 'Fengyan Jiaba' in place."
