Ruins of the past

Hearing what Liu Yao said, Chu Qiguang was slightly stunned and temporarily put down the lines he had originally prepared.

When Liu Yao saw that Chu Qiguang was silent, he became more and more fearful and quickly said, "I can join you and serve you."

Chu Qiguang's eyes flashed slightly: "Us?"

Liu Yao laughed miserably: "Why do you continue to pretend to be stupid with me? Monsters can be mixed into Baihu of the Demon Suppressor... And you are so good at turning people into monsters... I don't know how many people have been turned into monsters."

"I'm afraid there are already many of your people in this court, right?"

Chu Qiguang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Liu Yao in surprise, but said nothing.

When Liu Yao saw his expression, he felt that he was right.

He seemed to be willing to take risks at this moment, and continued: "You have the support of a strong Taoist, and you can turn humans into monsters."

"Now even the Demon Suppressor has infiltrated. If I don't want to die, I have no choice but to take refuge with you."

"As long as you don't push me to death, I will always serve you even if it's just to survive."

Chu Qiguang rolled his eyes and sighed: "You have a vicious eye."

After turning Liu Yao into a half-demon, Chu Qiguang naturally sent the cat demon to keep an eye on him, just to prevent him from doing anything irrational.

But he didn't expect that the other party would be strange this time. After he took the initiative to talk, he found that the other party actually had such... wonderful ideas.

"Yes, there are indeed many people in the court who are on our side."

After hearing Chu Qiguang's words, Liu Yao had a real expression on his face: "Is Baishihe also..."

Chu Qiguang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Why do you think I want to help him? And why do you think he can eat monsters?"

Liu Yao was shocked after hearing this: 'Yes, the fierce god Bai Shihe is known to swallow monsters alive. Is this something a human can do? Only monsters eat monsters without mercy or hesitation. ’

At this moment, Liu Yao felt suddenly enlightened.

On our side, not only is the old demon Tongtian a powerful Taoist, but even the fierce god Bai Shihe is one of our own. Isn't he running rampant in Shuzhou?

Chu Qiguang continued: "Not only Baishihe, but also Hao Xiangtong who you chased all the way..."

Liu Yao was shocked after hearing this: "Hao Xiangtong? How is it possible... this... this..."

Chu Qiguang chuckled, walked outside, pulled Hao Xiangtong over, and patted Hao Xiangtong's back lightly.

In the past, when Chu Qiguang was selling gold wine in Qingyang County, Hao Xiangtong had already been poisoned with the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique.

This time Chu Qiguang made a slight movement, causing a slight change in Hao Xiangtong's eyes.

Liu Yao was stunned when he saw Hao Xiangtong's eyes that turned into vertical pupils.

Hao Xiangtong glanced at Chu Qiguang strangely: "Why are you filming me?"

Chu Qiguang stretched out his hand and pressed on Hao Xiangtong's back, suppressing the demon blood in Hao Xiangtong's body again.

He said: "Liu Yao doesn't believe what I said, so I'll pull you over and show him."

Hao Xiangtong felt Chu Qiguang's big hands caressing his back, and couldn't help but blush.

She thought to herself that Chu Qiguang wanted Liu Yao to see their intimacy... and then give up completely?

Hao Xiangtong turned to look at Liu Yao with dull eyes, thinking that this seemed to be quite effective.

After Chu Qiguang sent Hao Xiangtong away, he saw Liu Yao murmuring: "Hao Xiangtong is the same... She is actually one of your people..."

Chu Qiguang smiled: "It's not just her, it's the entire Hao family."

Liu Yao was shocked when he heard this: "The Hao family is the same? Then is the Wu family also..."

Chu Qiguang did not answer the question directly, but just said: "Be it Baishihe or Hao Xiangtong, they are just the tip of the iceberg."

"Even I don't know how many powerful people, nobles, clans, and high-ranking officials in the world are ours."

"I only know that the power of the organization is far beyond what you can imagine."

Liu Yao gasped when he heard this, as if he saw a huge creature hidden in the shadow of the imperial court, extending its tentacles to every corner of the world.

At this moment, he suddenly felt lucky that he was one of them.

Seeing Liu Yao's appearance, Chu Qiguang reminded: "These are the secrets of the organization. I think you are a smart person, so I am telling you. But if you dare to reveal it..."

Liu Yao said quickly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone until I die."

Chu Qiguang added another point: "Also... unless the person I told you is recommended by a superior, even if you reveal their identity or contact them secretly, they will ignore you."

"Just act as you normally would, and don't do anything that might expose you."

Liu Yao nodded when he heard this, thinking that this was natural.

Chu Qiguang continued: "You can move to Tumen Castle and work under me for the time being."

This time when Liu Yao walked out of the Taoist temple gate, his state of mind was completely different from the past.

When he arrived, he was as panicked as a bereaved dog. He felt that the road ahead was bleak, and he only thought about how to escape.

When he went out, he was already confident and felt that there were countless powerful people behind him who were his backers.

Suddenly a large number of people ran out from behind him, and the fierce god Bai Shihe slowly left the Taoist temple surrounded by a group of people.

Seeing the other party's glance, Liu Yao smiled mysteriously, revealing a tacit smile.

Bai Shihe ignored Liu Yao's baffled expression and led the team out of the Taoist temple.

‘It’s really professional, I still have more to learn. ’

Seeing Bai Shihe's performance, Liu Yao immediately calmed down his expression and hurried back to pack his bags and prepare to move to Tumen Fort.

Looking at Liu Yao's leaving figure on the other side, Chu Qiguang slowly walked back to the library.

He thought to himself: 'It's really rare for leeks to weed and fertilize themselves. ’

However, although Liu Yao's changes were somewhat unexpected, his martial arts, wealth, and influence in Lingzhou were all very useful to Chu Qiguang.

‘The stocks in Lingzhou have gradually heated up, and it will be time for me to go back and harvest some of them in a few days. ’

‘When things in Lingzhou are finished, I will have enough funds to make plans in Shuzhou. ’

‘When the time comes, whether it’s training my subordinates or assisting me in becoming a Taoist, with the money and power, I will get twice the result with half the effort. ’

‘You don’t have to do everything by yourself like I do now. ’

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang looked to the northeast: 'Speaking of which, the arrangements in the capital should also be effective, right? If it works there, I won't have any worries about taking action in Lingzhou next. ’

…

Shenjing City, inside the Changsheng Palace.

Chen Zhong, the current eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was slowly presenting a book in front of Emperor Yong'an.

"Your Majesty, I have a tribute to pay. They are the notes of the northern wolf barbarians exploring the far north."

"Oh?" Emperor Yong'an glanced at him and asked casually: "Can you submit it to me? Isn't this note ordinary?"

Chen Zhong said respectfully: "The old slave thought it was just an ordinary travelogue at first, but after a quick look, he discovered that the person who wrote this travelogue actually found a relic of the Emperor's Heavenly Way in the far north."

"A dragon corpse was also found in the ruins."

Upon hearing the word "dragon corpse", Emperor Yong'an's eyes seemed to have colorful lights flashing across his eyes.

He took the notebook from Yi Siman and immediately started to read it. The more he read, the bigger the smile on his face became.

"How did you get it?"

Chen Zhong said: "It was submitted by Yang Ling from the Hundred Households of the Demon Suppression Division."

After the Han royal family shattered the rule of the Dragon Clan in the East China Sea, they inherited much of the Dragon Clan's power and knowledge.

In order to transcend the realm of Taoism, Emperor Yong'an went very far in pursuing the power of dragons.

…

"There are very few records of the power related to dragons, even in the big library."

"It may be that the royal family is deliberately monopolizing knowledge related to dragons."

Chu Qiguang suddenly remembered that he had received a gift.

Dragon and snake skin.

According to legend, snakes evolved from ancient dragons. Snakes can grow by shedding their skin, which contains the power of dragons.

Covering the whole body with snake skin can enhance the ability of self-healing. But gradually they will become addicted to hunting and having sex, completely forgetting their identity as a human being.

Whether it is martial arts or Taoism, the same is true for the power associated with dragons. Mortals who worship dragons will surely sink into the abyss.
