Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1328

Yanzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou.

After Gao Wu arrived, he was taken over by the Earth Demon [Gui Fang Twenty Di Kings].

At that time, Emperor Ming, who publicly declared that he was "long-lived and blessed by Heaven" and styled himself as the "Son of Heaven," also proclaimed to the world that he was "long-lived and blessed by Heaven."

With the support of the Heavenly Realm, we will reclaim this land.

And he allowed the celestial race, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, to guard Phoenix Mountain.

By borrowing three parts dragon energy and seven parts phoenix blood, the [Dragon and Phoenix Soaring Array] is formed to seal the gates of hell.

Prevent the demons from descending to the mortal realm!

For hundreds of years, the Demon Sealing Clan, supported by the Earth Demon, has coveted this place more than once.

Furthermore, for the Demon-Sealing Clan, the Heavenly Phoenix Body is a 'shortcut' to improving their cultivation level.

Therefore, the two tribes fought each other incessantly.

They gradually became sworn enemies.

However, ironically, things are quite different now...

In order to unite with the Earth Demons, the Celestials deliberately broke the rules and constraints of the mortal realm, and even colluded with them, becoming accomplices in their evil deeds.

"My lord, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has a profound influence in Yanzhou and a large number of believers."

"It is no exaggeration to say that it formed its own school in the Ming Dynasty."

"When they are loyal to the court and His Majesty, imperial edicts and envoys are absolutely effective."

"But now, if the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has become a puppet of the Celestials and intends to overthrow the Ming Dynasty..."

"The quality of the officials and troops there, and even the Jinyiwei of the local Zhenfu Division, remains to be seen."

After passing through the side pass and arriving in the heart of Guifang, Zhang Liansong whispered a reminder to Xu Shan beside him.

I understand what you're saying.

"Isn't this the position of the Heavenly Dao Sect in Penglai and Jiaozhou?"

"Believers, we only recognize the decree of Heaven, not the imperial edict."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liansong smiled wryly and said, "Sir, this joke is not funny at all."

"The purpose of our Heavenly Dao is to defy the heavens."

"Besides, with me, the direct descendant of the Heavenly Dao Sect, here, won't the Heavenly Dao Sect be a matter of a single word from you, sir?"

"Dog Egg...I have a bold idea."

"Hmm? My lord, I don't want to take the position prematurely. My master is no threat to you. And I, your brother, am unwilling to 'betray my master and destroy my ancestors.'"

After Zhang Liansong finished speaking with an exaggerated expression, Xu Shan replied with a smile, "What are you thinking! I just feel that with my current strength, I can totally become sworn brothers with your grandmaster."

"Let's become sworn brothers and take care of each other in the future."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liansong was completely stunned.

"Sir, you'll make no friends if you keep chatting like this. If we keep talking like this, will I end up looking like a grandson?"

"Then all this time I've been calling him my godfather for nothing?"

"Haha."

"Let's discuss our own issues."

"Depend on."

The two, joking and laughing, leaped across the endless loess plateau. There they came, the city of Yanzhou, nestled between three mountains and two rivers.

It may not be grand, but it is definitely the most prosperous city within a radius of several hundred miles.

However, as they prepared to enter the city, they saw many local people carrying offerings and incense hurrying towards Phoenix Mountain.

Upon seeing this situation, Zhang Liansong and his father exchanged bewildered glances before he grabbed a villager and asked in authentic Guifang dialect, "Fellow villager, what happened here?"

Why is everyone rushing to Phoenix Mountain?

Upon hearing this, the old man being pulled replied, "Young man, have you just come back from outside?"

"You don't know anything, do you?"

"Shangguan Yan'er, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, has been cursed and is pregnant with a demon child."

"Today, the Tianfeng Clan is holding a ritual at Phoenix Mountain to exorcise curses and bestow blessings."

"Hurry up, prepare some offerings and incense. Let's head to Phoenix Mountain."

"If you arrive late, you won't be able to get a front-row seat. You'll receive less good fortune."

The old man had barely finished speaking when his wife, who had run ahead of him, turned around and pulled him, saying, "Why are you dawdling like that?"

"Hurry up, or I'll beat you to death if you don't get a good spot!"

"well."

As he spoke, the old man and his wife joined the vast army of people praying for blessings.

At this moment, Xu Shan, who was standing still, had an extremely solemn expression.

Zhang Liansong, who was standing nearby, asked cautiously, "Sir, is it you who did this to this woman who is harboring evil intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan, regaining his senses, glared at the other person and said, "Shouldn't you be calling her Grandma?"

"I……"

Xu Shan knew the rules of the Tianfeng Clan.

The Tianfeng clan practices monogamy, with only widowhood and no divorce.

This is what Shangguan Yan'er said herself after they had sex at the Tianshui Post Station.

Thinking back to the time the two of them spent together in the capital researching "Joyful Zen"...

If Shangguan Yan'er is indeed pregnant with a "ghost child," then it must be Xu Shan's.

"No wonder he retreated to Phoenix Mountain to cultivate in seclusion."

"So that's the reason?"

Xu Shan was "given" to the Empress by Shangguan Yan'er.

That's why she was one of the few 'insiders' who knew the true nature of their relationship.

In this situation, she suddenly discovered that she was pregnant.

The only solution I could think of was to get away from the capital, that place of trouble.

"Sir, what if my sister-in-law is really pregnant?"

"Today's 'opening ceremony' is probably aimed at you."

Hearing this, Xu Shan said with a solemn expression, "That's what I fear most."

At this point, Xu Shan added, "What I hate most is anyone making a fuss about my family."

"Whoever is behind this..."

"There is a way to die."

In that instant, Zhang Liansong sensed his master's killing intent.

The two of them, along with the prayer army, headed towards Phoenix Mountain.

Even before reaching the foot of the mountain, the mist rising from the summit made the forest seem as if it were shrouded in a fairyland.

Not only was the visibility extremely low, but it was also accompanied by a chilly atmosphere.

All of this was seen as 'divine aura' by the people who came to pray for blessings.

Many people even made a pilgrimage by bowing and kowtowing along the way.

But for Xu Shan and Zhang Liansong...

A clue has already been discovered from these auras.

"My lord, why do I sense a malevolent aura mixed in with the energy emanating from the mountaintop?"

Zhang Liansong, who possessed a strong sense of righteousness, was extremely sensitive to the Yin energy.

Therefore, after entering the forest, they carefully examined the surroundings. Then, they inquired with their elders beside them!

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan, who was rushing on his way, said coldly without turning his head, "This is not just malevolent energy, but the Yin malevolent energy of the underground cave."

"what?"

"My lord, what you mean is..."

"The Gates of Hell, which were suppressed by the Phoenix Mountain Range, have been breached by the Earth Demons?"

Hearing this, Xu Shan glanced at him and said, "Is it possible that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan removed the [Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Formation] and deliberately let them out?"

"This... sir, if they really deliberately released the Earth Demon and colluded with it, why make such a big show of things and lure the common people here?"

"This makes no sense at all."
