Chapter 194: You Won't Be Disappointed

If these seven people were rivals in the martial arts world, Qi Xuansu would have killed them without mercy. However, these seven people were Quanzhen Taoist priests, and they were at the gate of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, so Qi Xuansu had to hold back to avoid giving them a handle and putting himself in a passive position.

After Qi Xuansu killed one person, the "Seven Stars Formation" that required seven people to work together was broken, and the remaining six people were panicked and at a loss.

Zhang Yongyan's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Heavenly man?"

This is the strength of a child from an aristocratic family. He is well-informed. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has always seen pigs run.

Qi Xuansu smiled lightly and said, "Good insight, I am indeed at the Heavenly Man stage."

Generally speaking, most of the fourth-grade priests are at the stage of returning to the truth, and the third-grade Taoist priests are at the stage of heavenly man. In Zhang Yongyan's opinion, Qi Xuansu is probably at the stage of returning to the truth, but he has such a status because he climbed up the big tree of the Yao family. So he did not hesitate to gather people, just to take this person down. Afterwards, Yao Pei will certainly be offended, but the other Quanzhen Dao families will be happy to see it happen, as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. As for those bigwigs, they will not pay attention to such a small matter at all, just as a child's play.

But the scene in front of him was beyond Zhang Yongyan's expectation. This kid was not in the stage of returning to the truth, but in the stage of free and easy cultivation. The stage of returning to the truth and the stage of free and easy cultivation are not just a small stage difference, but also the difference between the two major stages of innate people and heavenly people. In the words of Westerners, it has undergone a qualitative change. In the words of Easterners, it is extraordinary. Even Qi Xuansu himself, before he got the "God's Mysterious Jade", he could only run away when he met a heavenly person.

So the manpower that Zhang Yongyan brought was not enough.

Just when Zhang Yongyan was at a loss, he suddenly heard the footsteps of a large group of people, which became clearer and clearer from far to near.

Qi Xuansu just stood with his hands behind his back and did not run away.

A moment later, a team of spiritual officials appeared at the end of the mountain road. At a glance, this team of spiritual officials had at least 200 people. Because they came from Wanshou Chongyang Palace, they started with the sixth-grade spiritual officials, and there were about 40 fifth-grade spiritual officials mixed in. The black armor was connected in a line, like a black tide.

The leader was a third-grade spiritual official, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. He walked in the front, tall and imposing.

With the order of the third-grade spiritual official, a group of spiritual officials surrounded all the people involved in the fight and did not let any of them go.

Zhang Yongyan's face eased slightly, and he even had a bit of joy.

Can you let an outsider bully you at your doorstep? Since the manpower he brought was not enough, he would use the public knife to kill people. If this person dared to resist and fight back, he would be accused of resisting Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Quanzhen Dao, and Taoism, and suppressed on the spot.

Zhang Yongyan walked towards the third-rank spiritual officer and said warmly, "Old Zhu, how did I alarm you?"

"Mr. Zhang." This spiritual officer Zhu bowed to Zhang Yongyan.

Zhang Yongyan immediately smiled: "Old Zhu, it's good that you are here, come with me to catch this thief."

But the spiritual officer Zhu did not respond to his words, but turned to look at Qi Xuansu and bowed again: "Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu looked at him with doubt and nodded.

Zhang Yongyan realized that something was wrong, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

The spiritual officer Zhu slowly looked at Zhang Yongyan, his face solemn: "According to the order of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Zhang Yongyan will be escorted to Taiyi Temple. The rest of the people will all be taken to the third underworld prison under the jurisdiction of Wanshou Chongyang Palace to identify their identities, confess their crimes, and wait for their fate. Mr. Zhang, please follow me."

Taiyi Temple is the Taoist temple where Zhang Yongyan's father Zhang Jiaoling is.

When has Zhang Yongyan been so shocked before? He was stunned for a moment, looking at the spiritual officer Zhu in doubt. However, Qi Xuansu let out the breath that had been held for a while.

"What did you say?" Zhang Yongyan heard every word, but he didn't want to believe his ears. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhu Lingguan's eyes, questioning word by word.

Zhu Lingguan said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, we are also doing things according to orders. Please don't embarrass us. Come with us."

He stretched out his hand wrapped in black armor and moved it in the direction of Wanshou Chongyang Palace on the mountain.

"Who gave the order? Who gave the order?" Zhang Yongyan couldn't help but roared, "Bring me the hand order with the seal. You dare to arrest me!?"

At this moment, a voice said, "No need for the hand order. I'm here in person."

As the voice fell, the Lingguans separated a line of passage from the middle, and one person came over.

It was Yao Pei.

Zhang Yongyan's voice stopped abruptly. Looking at Yao Pei's face without any expression, he felt a little creepy.

Zhu Lingguan respectfully made way for Yao Pei and came to his side, falling behind him again.

Yao Pei didn't rush to deal with Zhang Yongyan, but first glanced at the wounded on the ground, and said lightly: "You really made our Quanzhen Taoist proud."

The wounded who were still wailing and groaning in pain suddenly stopped making any sound, no matter how painful it was, they endured it.

Yao Pei then looked at Zhang Yongyan: "First he took all the beauties out for a trip, and then he openly gathered a crowd to commit a crime. Taoist Zhang really didn't let me down, he's really good."

Zhang Yongyan's face was pale, and even beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still stammered to explain: "When did we commit a crime? It was clearly this person who committed a crime against us, and the wounds on the ground are proof of that"

Yao Pei interrupted, "Very good, Officer Zhu Ling, take these people back, interrogate them separately, and slowly interrogate them until their confessions are consistent. I don't believe that so many people are all the same."

Zhu Ling said loudly, "Yes."

Zhang Yongyan's face changed immediately. The men he brought with him were not some secretive warriors, but a mob. There was no need to torture them. In order to escape the crime and gain merit, they might tell the truth without waiting for others to ask.

So Zhang Yongyan changed his words and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. We just had a disagreement and started fighting. This should be considered a private fight."

Yao Pei said indifferently, "How to characterize it is not up to you."

"You!" Zhang Yongyan pointed at Yao Pei fiercely.

Yao Pei didn't even raise his eyelids, but just ordered: "Take all these people away."

Zhu Lingguan waved his hand, and two Lingguans carried one wounded person, and they moved quickly, and soon took away all the wounded people. As for the unlucky guy whose bones were mostly broken, he was carried out by four Lingguans on a stretcher.

These wounded people were all Quanzhen Taoist priests, and they naturally cried out for injustice when they were taken away.

Yao Pei was unmoved, and didn't even look at them, but just waved his hand and said: "If you have anything to say, go to the Third Netherworld."

In a blink of an eye, only Zhang Yongyan was left standing there alone.

At this time, Zhang Jiaoling was not in Wanshou Chongyang Palace, so Zhang Yongyan felt that he was crying to the sky and the earth for help, but no one answered.

Yao Pei put his hands behind his back and stopped talking.

Zhu Lingguan stepped forward and extended his hand again: "Mr. Zhang, please go in."

"I want to see the geomancer!" Zhang Yongyan finally recognized the reality. As he walked up the mountain, he muttered, "I am wronged. I want to see the geomancer!"

Yao Pei waved his hand again, signaling the other Lingguans to withdraw.

Only two people were left.

Qi Xuansu asked tentatively: "Did you expect this?"

Yao Pei did not answer directly, but just said: "I said that Zhang Yongyan would not let me down."

Qi Xuansu paused and said: "That's good."

Yao Pei said: "I want to thank you too. I have wanted to deal with this group of aristocratic children who acted recklessly for a long time, but there is no reason for the time being. Now that they have taken the initiative to deliver themselves to the door, they can't do anything."

Qi Xuansu smiled and did not comment.

Sure enough, whether it is Zhang Yuelu or Yao Pei, no one is easy to deal with.

Speaking of Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu should also set off as soon as possible, and after solving the problems in Shuzhou, go to Yujing.

You know, not only Zhang Yuelu is waiting for him in Yujing, not only Donghua Zhenren is waiting for him, but also Cihang Zhenren wants to see him.

Unlike Donghua Zhenren, Donghua Zhenren's affairs are public affairs, and public affairs can be handled in a public manner. But Cihang Zhenren's affairs are private affairs, so it is difficult to say.

Qi Xuansu vaguely remembers a saying, small success will lead to big success.

So in a sense, this is a big test, and you can't be careless.

So Qi Xuansu didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Yao Pei for the third time, and went down the mountain.
