Chang'an City.

Xianglong Mansion.

This was originally a vacant mansion, very luxurious, located in the center of Chang'an. Now, after King Qing came to Chang'an, it became his residence.

In the study room of the mansion, Prince Qing was sitting with his confidant Jiuxuan.

"how?"

"It will take some time for Xuan Zun to enter the country." Jiu Xuan answered with cupped fists.

"The action is really slow," Prince Qing said in a low voice, "Xia Zhao is investigating the news very quickly, so it won't take too long."

"After all, he is one of the four giants of the Giant Spirit Clan. If Lord Xuan wants to enter the human realm, he must be fully prepared." Jiuxuan said in a voice that only he and Prince Qing could hear.

Prince Qing hid his emotions very well and murmured: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."

"Yes, everything is ready now, only Xuan Zun has entered the stage." Jiu Xuan's voice became deeper and deeper. Even though the surrounding area was enveloped by King Qing's legal domain, his voice could never be heard.

"Has the situation at the Zunzun Formation changed?" King Qing's face, which showed no emotion or anger, was solemn. He took a deep breath and asked again worriedly.

"In order to deal with this formation, King Qing has been preparing since eight thousand years ago. At this time, everything is already under control." Jiuxuan continued.

Prince Qing nodded.

The Great Killing Formation, the first divine formation of the human race, was established by Xia Daozu himself, and its divine power goes without saying.

But no matter how powerful the formation is, it is still a dead thing after all.

If it is a dead thing, it cannot withstand the calculations of living people.

Not to mention, in order to solve this formation, he made a plan eight thousand years ago and started planning after foreseeing today's situation.

For eight thousand years, King Qing was like a hunter lurking in the dark, patiently dormant.

Even a thousand years ago, he had prepared everything, but in order to ensure success in one fell swoop, he spent another thousand years perfecting every detail to ensure nothing went wrong.

After so much effort, and now, everything is going smoothly according to his plan, except for the last step.

As calm as he was, he could not help but feel joy in his heart at this moment.

It's just that those who walk a hundred miles are only half a century old. The closer he gets to success, the more worried he becomes, fearing that something might go wrong somewhere, and the more anxious he becomes.

Prince Qing stood up from his seat, paced slightly in the study, his eyes sharpened, and finally said in deep thought: "Although the situation here is urgent, please don't rush Master Xuan for the time being."

"Why?" Jiuxuan was shocked and confused.

King Qing was so anxious before that he even made various conditions that could be called flesh-cutting, just to invite Xuan Zun to enter the human realm as soon as possible. Why did Xia Zhao suddenly start to investigate the "blood exchange transaction" now that he had begun to raise eyebrows?

Calm down your mind.

Prince Qing said softly: "I have been in contact with Xuanzun for many years, and I know that he is suspicious by nature. I ignored this because of my impatience, so I made various concessions just to invite him to enter the human realm as soon as possible."

"Come to think of it, the reason why he hasn't moved until now is because he has some suspicions in his heart."

"This old fox..." Prince Qing couldn't help but shake his head. He was silent for a moment and continued: "You still have to be patient when fishing. The more anxious you are, the easier it is for the fish to decouple. This was my mistake."

"However, although I have been negligent in this regard, the bait is so big that no matter how suspicious he is, he will not be able to resist the temptation. He will eventually take the bait. It is just a matter of time."

Jiuxuan's eyes lit up, "I understand."

............

Qingluomen.

Lu Qingshan, who was ready to fight again, remained silent.

He did not expect that Qingluo Ancestor, the first generation leader of Qingluo Sect, would be so talkative and have such a bad temper.

Not only did he not hold himself accountable for destroying his sect's formation, he was even willing to actively cooperate with him to investigate the Qingluo Sect.

Although I don’t know what Qingluo Ancestor is thinking, the kindness shown by him is very obvious. Lu Qingshan stopped being aggressive, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Qingluo Ancestor, for understanding."

Ancestor Qingluo waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome. After all, the human realm in the future will still be protected by you young monks. All we old people who are already about to decay can only watch you grow, not fight with you.

Be an enemy."

Lu Qingshan remained silent, bowed, said nothing more, and released his spiritual consciousness again.

His huge spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of the soul realm began to open like a dragnet, exploring the area of ​​​​Qingluo Gate inch by inch.

"You should not lie to me." Lu Qingshan thought to himself.

Under the circumstances at that time, Rosen probably already regarded him as a dead man.

And for a "dead person", the possibility of telling false news is not high after all.

But having said that, he was still a little worried before seeing Tantai Qingrun.

Just when Lu Qingshan, under the gaze of all the Qingluo Sect monks, was digging three feet into the ground to investigate the Qingluo Sect, the Qingluo Patriarch, who was pretending to be watching from the wall, suddenly condensed his turbid eyes.

Um?

A hand made of green light appeared silently and grabbed the crowd.

The next moment, amid a pitiful cry, a middle-aged monk was firmly imprisoned in the palm of Qingluo Ancestor's hand, struggling hard, but unable to move.

"Ancestor, have mercy on me, ancestor, have mercy on me!" the middle-aged monk who was captured by Patriarch Qingluo begged for mercy.

Lu Qingshan also noticed this scene, stopped his movements, and looked over.

"Ahem...why are you hiding?" Qingluo Ancestor coughed twice and asked coldly.

"I...I..." Cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged monk's forehead, he hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

"Who is this person?" Ancestor Qingluo asked the deputy sect leader of Qingluo Sect who looked respectfully at the side.

"Tell me, ancestor, this person is the elder of our sect, Elder Murong."

The deputy sect leader of Qingluo Sect also vaguely realized something at this moment, and replied in a trembling voice: "He is a casual cultivator who entered our sect a thousand years ago. Since entering this sect, he has been working hard and made great contributions to our sect.

, so a hundred years ago, the sect master officially appointed him as the elder of our sect."

"Elder Murong..." Ancestor Qingluo nodded slightly, and then asked: "Where is his cave?"

The deputy leader of the Qingluo Sect did not dare to hide it in front of his ancestor, and quickly pointed out the specific location of Elder Murong's cave.

Lu Qingshan had already understood everything, and without hesitation, his spiritual consciousness immediately followed the position pointed by the deputy sect leader of Qingluo Sect.

But before he could find anything, Elder Murong, who was caught by Ancestor Qingluo, had a look of despair in his eyes, and then his whole body started to tremble without any warning.

"Not good." Ancestor Qingluo felt something, his expression changed, and green light surged out of his body, rushing towards Elder Murong, but it was too late.

In just a moment, Elder Murong, a monk who transformed himself into a god, lost all his vitality, as if he had lost his soul, and his whole body went limp like a puddle of mud.

Lu Qingshan's expression moved slightly and he quickly flew over.

"This is..." He looked at the motionless Elder Murong with a solemn expression.

"He committed suicide," Ancestor Qingluo looked embarrassed. "What a weird secret method. This person was clearly completely imprisoned by me and was not allowed to use even half of his strength. Yet he was able to ignore my power and use a secret method to commit suicide."

Lu Qingshan was silent for a moment.

It's so decisive.

When he realized something was wrong, he immediately committed suicide without leaving any clues.

Such a flawless behavior made Lu Qingshan immediately think of the underworld monks.

After a moment, he jumped up and headed straight for Elder Murong's cave.

By now, he could basically confirm that Tantai Qingrun should be in this sect.

Ancestor Qingluo's expression changed. After thinking for a while, he finally set off and flew to Elder Murong's cave, preparing to investigate the situation with Lu Qingshan.

He also noticed that something was wrong with this matter. It was obviously not something that could be summed up simply by saying "a friend was imprisoned in Qingluomen".

boom!

Outside Elder Murong's cave, there was a formation protecting him, but Lu Qingshan was not polite at all, he came out with his sword and easily smashed the formation into pieces.

Lu Qingshan ducked into the cave.

The cave is very spacious, bright and full of spiritual energy. It is divided into stone chambers one after another and is well organized.

Obviously the owner of the cave has good intentions in running it, unlike Jianxiu's cave, which is often empty and very simple.

At first glance, Lu Qingshan found nothing unusual, but he was not surprised either.

How can there be any reason to put crooked ways in the light?

He released his spiritual consciousness to search the cave, and soon he discovered something strange on one of the stone walls.

Lu Qingshan flicked his fingers slightly, and a ray of sword energy was shot out, instantly blasting the stone wall open, and a deep passage appeared behind the stone wall.

He stepped into the passage, walked forward for a short distance, and suddenly became enlightened.

At this moment, a secret room appeared in front of him, and there were bursts of cold air emanating from it, full of eerie atmosphere.

Lu Qingshan frowned and walked into the secret room.

What caught his eye was a blurry figure of a woman enveloped in black demonic energy.

Without any hesitation, he surged with energy and instantly dispersed all the demonic energy in the secret room.
