Chapter 642: Innovative? Abstract!

After getting the initial understanding of the self-contained formation from Taoist Master Sanxi, Princess Ankang began to read this book in Jingyang Palace.

Every afternoon, Ren Chunsheng will come to give guidance and help Princess Ankang get started with the formation.

And Li Xuan had been leisurely for a few days, and it was time to get down to business.

He first went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to visit Sharon.

Although Sharon is old, she is humbly learning various rules in the palace, just so that she can serve Li Xuan in the future.

And as Sharon gradually regained some cultivation, she looked much younger, and her condition was getting better and better.

Li Xuan asked Manager Shang to understand the situation. Sharon had never complained since she started studying at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She would learn whatever he taught her.

Li Xuan looked at Sharon's attitude and nodded repeatedly.

After visiting Sharon, Li Xuan left the palace again and went straight to Hu Yulou, whom he had not been to for several days.

He chose a time in the morning when Hu Yulou was relatively free. As soon as he came, he saw Ayimu and Xie Qingmo whispering together in the room, and they didn't know what they were studying.

Li Xuan jumped to the window and meowed, attracting the attention of these two people.

"Lord Axuan, you are finally here!"

Ayimu said and came up to him, as if he had been looking forward to Li Xuan for several days.

She came up and wanted to hug Li Xuan, but Li Xuan dodged her with a leap and fell directly on the table.

"What are you two studying?" Li Xuan said to the two of them.

Ayimu pouted and sat down again, feeling that she had fallen out of favor again.

"Master A Xuan asked me to hold him before..."

Ayimu thought sadly.

At this time, Xie Qingmo took over the conversation: "Master Ah Xuan, we are still wondering when you will come to us."

"Ayimu and I were discussing the affairs of the reformists."

Li Xuan came here for this reason.

He had saved the reformists in the palace before, but he couldn't save them in vain, right?

Today we are going to see how the Holy Fire Cult plans to thank him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingmo actually started to complain:

"Master Axuan, although my sister asked you to take care of me, you are too caring."

"Not only did he save them, he actually persuaded Emperor Yongyuan to accept their stupid plan!"

"Not only have they not realized their mistakes, but they have promoted their contributions in the church, saying that they opened the way for preaching in Daxing."

Xie Qingmo said, shaking his head with a headache.

"Huh?" Li Xuan tilted his head.

He couldn't help but ask Xie Qingmo: "It's impossible for all the reformists in your religion to be so stupid, right?"

"How else can I get a place in the church?"

Ayimu on the side nodded: "Master Axuan is right."

"This time, their plan is considered rigorous, but it is also stupid."

"The reformists deceived several small countries in the Western Region and helped them complete the toy-like formation props. According to them, the things were indeed sophisticated, and they were asked to bring them into the palace."

"It's just that the purpose is too stupid. How could such a trick possibly deceive the Emperor of Daxing?"

"Fortunately, Master has asked Master Ah Xuan to take care of them. When they publicized their achievements in the church, Master severely criticized them, saying that if he had not invited the big shots in Daxing to take care of them, they would be in a desperate situation. , and it will also damage the relationship between the Holy Fire Sect and Daxing."

"Master used this as an excuse to punish the reformists. However, after the reformers found out about this, they began to inquire about the existence of Lord A-Xuan."

"They seem to want to use your connections to do more things in Daxing."

Li Xuan couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "These people are too reckless."

"The reformist faction has always behaved this way, which is why they are disliked by the other two factions." Xie Qingmo explained.

"It's just that their plan this time is really weird. If it's really just to set off fireworks at the New Year dinner, the investment is too much."

Obviously, Xie Qingmo couldn't understand this either.

"There must be a leader for this reformist action, right?"

"Can you please invite this person out to meet me?"

Li Xuan wanted to try to communicate with the reformists.

Judging from the current situation, the power of the reformists is best suited to be utilized.

They were eager to preach abroad, and Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan could give them this opportunity.

Of course, the most important thing is to see what help the reformists can provide.

If it doesn't work, there is no need to continue to worry about it.

"No, the escorts accompanying the delegation this time are all young disciples of the Reform Sect."

"Their strength is indeed good among the disciples, but it is not enough to impress."

"They also followed a plan for this operation. Among the people who came, there was only one disciple with a high level of cultivation as the team leader, so they couldn't make up their mind."

Li Xuan couldn't help but slap his head in pain.

When he arrested those people in the palace, he found that they were not very smart anymore.

This action of the reformists seems to be a deliberate attempt to send someone away.

Although there were some unexpected factors in discovering the mystery behind their jewelry, even if they successfully set off fireworks secretly, they would be immediately controlled by the colorful eunuchs.

At that time, he will inevitably be interrogated again by Manager Shang and then tell the truth.

"etc!"

Li Xuan suddenly discovered a blind spot when he thought about this.

He suddenly fell silent, and then paced slowly on the table.

"Whether the reformists' actions succeed or fail, their purpose will be exposed."

"Whether they are discovered in advance or arrested afterwards, as long as the fireworks are set off and the fate of the reformists who carried out the action is determined, Daxing's attitude towards them can be judged."

Thinking of this, Li Xuan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt that he was careless in thinking that the reformists were reckless.

"My, these reformists are quite something."

If Li Xuan had not been knowledgeable, he would have been fooled by the reformists.

This seemingly reckless plan is actually very thorough.

And if the reaction of Emperor Yongyuan is not as expected, I am afraid that the reformists will find other people to cooperate.

But Li Xuan will never allow this situation.

After understanding the plan of the reformists, Li Xuan suddenly became more interested in them.

"Tell me about the reformists, the more detailed the better." Li Xuan asked excitedly.

Aimu and Xie Qingmo noticed the change in Li Xuan's tone, but they didn't think much about it. Instead, they introduced the reformists to Li Xuan in detail.

Li Xuan had learned from them before that the Holy Fire Church now has three factions.

They are the conservatives, the balanced faction, and the reformists.

The conservatives were the backbone of the Holy Fire Church, but due to the mistakes made by the previous Saint Sharon, their prestige in the church is not as good as before, but they still have a deep foundation.

The balanced faction is the faction led by the current Saint, Aimu's master, Nilubaier, who is making various efforts to prevent the Holy Fire Church from continuing to split.

As for the reformists, Aimu and Xie Qingmo didn't introduce much before, only mentioning that it was a faction formed by the new generation of forces in the church, hoping that the influence of the Holy Fire Church could go beyond the Western Regions.

"Master Xuan, the rise of the reformists has only been a few years, and the main reason for their rise is the two young and promising elders in the church."

"They are called Refa and Rena, a pair of twins, but they were promoted to the position of elders at a young age, and their strength is at the peak of the fourth rank."

When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but frowned: "Not at the upper third rank?"

Xie Qingmo, who originally introduced Li Xuan, flashed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then explained:

"The younger generation of elders in the church are all at the fourth rank, and only the older generation of elders have the strength of the upper third rank."

Xie Qingmo was embarrassed to say that his own strength was not as good as Refa and Rena.

Although he is also at the fourth rank, if you only look at strength, he is at the bottom among the elders.

Therefore, many people in the church gossip about him, saying that he became an elder by borrowing the light of the saint.

Coupled with his somewhat embarrassing life experience, he is even less welcome, so he was sent to be in charge of the branch altar in Daxing Capital, which is also farther away from the main altar in the Western Regions.

Ayimu saw Xie Qingmo's embarrassment and took over the conversation at the right time:

"Master Xuan, although the brother and sister are still fourth-rank, they are the youngest among the elders, and they have outstanding strength and personal charm, so many ambitious young disciples have gathered around them."

"The most important thing is that their master died not long after they were promoted to elders, and this incident seems to have something to do with the conservatives."

"If it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid there would not necessarily be the rise of the reformists in the sect."

When Li Xuan heard this, he didn't expect there was such a hidden secret, and his gossip spirit was ignited.

"You mean, the brother and sister have a grudge against the conservatives?"

Ayimu nodded: "Master said that Refa and Rena are seeking revenge, protecting themselves, and because they have no choice."

"If the division and opposition continue, I'm afraid the Holy Fire Sect will be in chaos."

"Therefore, Master told me to win the position of the Holy Maiden, otherwise no matter which other sect wins the position of the Holy Maiden, there will be an inevitable reckoning."

"By then, I'm afraid even Master can't stop this bloody storm."

Li Xuan couldn't help but nod silently after hearing this.

Ayimu's master is not easy either. The Holy Fire Sect, which was a good thing, turned into such a big mess when it was passed to her.

People outside still think that the Holy Fire Sect, as one of the eight martial arts holy places, is so powerful in controlling the entire Western Region.

But every family has its own difficulties, and the Holy Fire Sect also has its own difficulties.

Li Xuan wants to borrow power from the Holy Fire Sect, but he is afraid that the power he can borrow is limited.

But as long as he can borrow some power, he will try it.

Li Xuan could feel that the situation was becoming increasingly tense.

Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng were becoming more and more anxious. It was unknown when they would break the final balance and completely tear each other apart.

Li Xuan knew exactly why Prince Zheng was anxious.

After all, they had killed two top third-grade masters of Prince Zheng's mansion one after another.

The loss of Zhu Wufeng and the Western Region Fire Demon was definitely enough to make Prince Zheng panic.

Especially the Western Region Fire Demon, who was a top second-grade master in the world. He disappeared without a trace.

In this situation, Li Xuan would also be anxious.

Li Xuan was not sure what Emperor Yongyuan was anxious about.

But he also had some guesses that Daxing might not be able to bear this chaos.

Just the situations that Li Xuan knew were all thorny problems.

The disasters in the south, the refugees in the north, the monopoly of the wealthy families, the terrible gap between the rich and the poor, the outrageous case of selling the same land twice...

Li Xuan still encountered most of these problems in the capital, and I am afraid it will only be worse in other places in Daxing.

The people could hardly afford to eat, but Li Xuan was able to make huge sums of money by speculating on antiques.

The national treasury cannot support the expenses of the war, so it is necessary to use this method to raise money in order to obtain the necessary wealth from wealthy families.

If the delay continues, Daxing will really die.

By then, no matter who wins between Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng, it will probably be meaningless.

Damo, who had been watching for a long time, could no longer watch Daxing regain his strength.

By then, Da Mo might even have a chance to complete the great cause of unifying the world.

Li Xuan didn't believe that the Desert Wolf King could withstand this kind of temptation.

Li Xuan thought for a long time and looked at Ayimu, but he had to make a difficult decision.

"Didn't you say before that there are three candidates for the Holy Maiden competition this time?"

"Who is the reformist saint and where is she now?"

This was a somewhat sensitive issue, but it did not arouse any vigilance from Ayimu and Xie Qingmo.

The two waved to Li Xuan relaxedly and explained:

"Lord Axuan, the reformist saint cannot be taken seriously."

Li Xuan frowned slightly, thinking that they didn't want to talk.

After all, if he asked what he meant, they would probably be able to guess something.

Now that the reformists are in front of him, Li Xuan wants to see if he can recruit them.

His identity as the holy beast of salvation is now recognized only by Ayimu and Xie Qingmo in front of him.

This was discovered when Li Xuan last communicated with Nilubair.

Nilubair's attitude towards him was far less certain than Ayimu's.

Li Xuan can see this kind of thing clearly now.

To my advantage, you are the savior beast.

If you are not good for me, you are a demon.

That's what power disputes are like, it's just about interests.

Even the Holy Fire Cult does not choose a saint through competition.

If they were really so pious, couldn't they just let the Holy Fire make the decision?

"Lord Axuan, are you trying to win over the reformists?"

Ayimu asked with a smile, not angry at all.

When Li Xuan saw Ayimu being so generous, he nodded candidly.

When Li Xuan nodded, Ayimu hugged her belly and started giggling.

Li Xuan looked puzzled, wondering what Ayimu was up to.

"Did you find that I was half-hearted and insane?"

"Oh, I'm such a scumbag cat."

Li Xuan reflected on himself.

Seeing that Ayimu was smiling like a fool, Xie Qingmo didn't explain to Li Xuan for a long time. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to explain:

"Lord Axuan, with their background as a reformist, they are not qualified to recommend a saint."

"But they did seize an opportunity."

"Previously, a proud man of heaven visited the Holy Fire Sect, and the Reformists jointly recommended that person."

"Although the proud man of heaven did not agree, my sister accepted the recommendation of the reformists."

"So the saint recommended by the reformists is not only not a member of the Holy Fire Cult, but the other party is not even willing to be this saint. It is wishful thinking by the reformists."

"ha!?"

Li Xuan's expression suddenly became tense.

He had just changed his mind about the reformists, but they turned to abstraction again.

How can anyone recommend a saint like this?

And Xie Qingmo's next words shocked Li Xuan even more.

"Lord Axuan should know the saint recommended by the reformists. I heard that she has recently returned to the capital."

Li Xuan already had a bad guess in his mind.

"The saint recommended by the reformists is the second princess of Daxing, Her Royal Highness Princess Luzhao."

Hearing this, Li Xuan didn't know what to say.

"What the hell is this revolutionary school called abstract school?"
