Ruins of the past

"Has the Heavenly Master Cult arrived yet?"

Chu Qiguang stood up in the study, and then asked Xiang Jinnu: "What about our people?"

Jin Nu said: "Everyone is here, and..."

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she still said, "Mr. Qiao is here too."

Chu Qiguang walked out of the room and asked casually: "Didn't he ask him to find the Eighth General of Xinghan? What are he doing here?"

Jinnu followed Chu Qiguang and said, "Mr. Qiao said that he knew he was wrong. Please don't drive him away. He just wants to follow you and hug him more every day."

"Also, he seems to have found clues to one of the eight generals of the Xinghan Dynasty, who is in Donghai Prefecture."

As soon as Chu Qiguang walked out of the yard, he saw an orange cat lying on the ground, looking at him pitifully and meowing weakly.

Seeing that Chu Qiguang didn't let him go, the orange cat crawled to Chu Qiguang's feet again and kept rubbing its head back and forth, just like a wild cat of its relatives.

He thought to himself: 'Damn it, I've only been driven out of Night City for a month, and the slaves of the Cat Party are becoming more and more disobedient. ’

‘If I really wait until I have found all the eight generals of Xinghan before I come back, there will be no place for me among Chu Qiguang’s men. ’

‘Don’t you want to be ridden by Jiaojiao forever? ’

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Qiao Zhi's eyes: 'No matter what the price is, I must stay this time. Even if I can't go back to Night City, I will stay with Chu Qiguang. ’

Looking at Qiao Zhi trying hard to please him, Chu Qiguang squatted down, touched the cat's head and sighed: "Master Qiao, you have lost weight."

Qiao Zhi's cat eyes widened and he said flatteringly: "Chu Qiguang, just let me come back. I promise not to mess around again."

Chu Qiguang scratched Qiao Zhi's chin, looked at the orange cat with a cooperative expression of enjoyment, and said, "I said you should get rich first and then be rich later."

Qiao Zhi said quickly: "The false accounts and the project payment were all done before you came back."

"Since you came back, I haven't reached out again."

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be as simple as it is now."

Qiao Zhi hugged Chu Qiguang's legs tightly and begged for mercy: "Just let me follow you. I don't want to do any projects, and I don't want to be Mr. Qiao."

"As long as you let me stay with you again and you can touch me when you have free time, then I will be satisfied."

Chu Qiguang sighed, looked at Qiao Zhi who looked like an abandoned kitten, touched the cat's head and said, "Then keep half of it."

"Nv Jin, come and hug Master Qiao."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhi immediately raised his tail excitedly, and saw another orange cat emerge from his back, and ran out quickly, preparing to continue looking for the Eight Generals of Xinghan.

And he stood up, stretched out his arms with a proud look on his face, and let Jin Nu hold him in her arms.

Jinnu hugged Qiao Zhi and reported to Chu Qiguang: "The Heavenly Master still hasn't arrived. Wang Qianhu asked if he should continue to wait or start."

Chu Qiguang walked towards the outside of the courtyard: "No wait, let's start."

…

At this moment, more than ten people, men, women, old and young, were waiting outside the hospital where Chu Qiguang was.

The leader of the Holy Fire Sect was one of them. He stood beside Duan Xuyan, the protector of the Holy Fire Sect, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the people around him who were waiting for Chu Qiguang.

They are the immortal Buddha, Li Yaofeng, Shen Rusong, Lei Yushu, Jin Hailong, Mi Siri, Daxia Zi Ji Yuan, Daxia Prince, Demon Clan Martial God Duo Chiwen, Tianwu who were specially called by Chu Qiguang. Zen master.

Some experts had to work overtime, so Chu Qiguang didn't call them over.

In the past, the leader of the Holy Fire Sect himself was also a powerful and high-minded Taoist immortal, ordinary martial artist, and court officials, all of which were ignored by him.

But at this moment, when he looked at the masters standing around him, he couldn't help feeling frightened.

As the leader of the Holy Fire Sect and a top expert who has been in the southeast for decades, his vision is naturally extremely vicious, and it is precisely because of this that he can see the extraordinary qualities of the people around him.

Especially the immortal Buddha and Li Yaofeng.

His eyes kept scanning the two of them, and it was like a violent storm had set off in his mind: "It can give me such a strong sense of threat, and that strong demon-stained aura, although it is hidden deeply, it cannot be hidden from me" The transformation into the Tao in the Great Light Sutra. "

"Even if these two people are not in the realm of manifesting the gods, I'm afraid they are not much different.'

Li Yaofeng said in her heart: "It's so slow. How long will this meeting last?" What a waste of time...'

Immortal Buddha clasped his hands together and looked very calm: "Today's conference really brought together many human elites. I really want to transform them one by one." ’

The malicious auras constantly exuding from the Incorruptible Buddha and Li Yaofeng made the leader of the Holy Fire Sect feel like a chicken standing next to a tiger.

There was also Shen Rusong standing alone with murderous intent, which made him feel that his life was under a strong threat.

And Shen Rusong was also shocked by the strength of Chu Qiguang's men, and thought to himself: 'Chu Qiguang's strength has actually expanded to this extent. ’

‘And this man’s robe… He is from the Holy Fire Sect, right? Are they all joining Chu Qiguang? Could it be that this man had already set up a business in the southeast many years ago? ’

Except for Bubad Buddha, Li Yaofeng, and Shen Rusong, the rest of the people are also not ordinary in the observation of the leader of the Holy Fire Sect. He suspects that these remaining people are all masters of the Taoist realm.

The leader of the Holy Fire Sect became more and more shocked the more he looked at it: "Duan Xuyan really didn't lie to me, no... he even said it was too little." "

‘Chu Qiguang has at least two, maybe even three masters of the manifest realm. ’

‘There are also six or seven masters who have entered the Taoist realm. ’

‘Then where has Chu Qiguang himself reached? To be able to suppress so many good players...'

At this moment, Chu Qiguang walked out of the courtyard and waved to everyone present: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"Today is a day off. Don't forget to ask for leave to rest afterwards. Arrange your own time and balance work with rest."

Seeing everyone present saluting Chu Qiguang, the leader of the Holy Fire Sect was shocked again. Looking at Chu Qiguang, his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty: 'Could it be that he has already reached a higher level...'

…

It’s already early summer in Donghaizhou in May.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky at the moment, and the sky is clear.

Donghai Prefecture's Demon-Suppressing House Qianhu is located on the border of Fucheng.

Because of Chu Qiguang's arrival, the entire Qianhu Residence was now heavily guarded, with one person every ten steps and one post every five steps.

After Chu Qiguang prepared to hold a general meeting, everyone in Qianhu in Donghai Prefecture felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The hundreds of households, general banners, small banners and even ordinary soldiers in the institute were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would become public enemies in the East China Sea and suffer disaster.

After all, for those of them who live in Donghai Prefecture all year round, whether they are the four major families, the two great sects, or even the Tianshi Sect, they are all huge behemoths in Donghai Prefecture, which are far beyond the ability of a thousand households in the Demon Suppression Division. of.

There are also some people in Qianhu Station who secretly complain about Chu Qiguang, feeling that he is acting too hastily and regard this place as Lingzhou in the north.

After all, in Donghai Prefecture, neither the power of the imperial court nor the authority of the Demon Suppressing Division is as powerful as in the north. Compromise with the local wealthy families and the Tianshi Sect is indispensable.

At this moment, Wang Yuan of Qianhu in Donghai Prefecture was facing the street outside Qianhu and said expressionlessly: "Master Chu, this really... has stirred up a hornet's nest."

I saw a lot of traffic on the street.

There are domestic servants, nurses, and servants from the four major aristocratic families, as well as various student martial artists from the two major sects of southern martial arts, as well as various martial arts people who are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

Obviously, the conference held by Chu Qiguang this time has been fermenting for a month, and now the storm has gathered, and Shangyuan Mansion is full of troubles.

But this was also Chu Qiguang's original purpose. He just wanted to make things worse and stir up the stagnant water in the southeast.

It seems that the martial arts people on the street are whispering to each other at this moment, and they are all discussing the matter of this conference.

"All the four major families have arrived. I heard that even the two from the Guishan School and the Donghai School are here."

"Isn't the Celestial Master here yet?"

"Hmph, Chu Qiguang, a Yankee, should have a good experience of the depth of the East China Sea. He can't mess around."

"Didn't Chu Qiguang say it was to fight against the demon clan outside the territory?"

"What kind of extraterrestrial monster clan? I think it's an excuse made by the imperial court."

"We have driven away the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea, so why are we afraid of the extraterrestrial demon clan?"

At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qianhushu.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a round-necked, large-sleeved shirt and a soap bar towel stepped out of the carriage.

The man has a square face and is not angry. He looks like someone who has been in a high position for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, everyone on the street immediately burst into whispers.

Seeing the appearance of the majestic man, Wang Yuan Qianhu immediately greeted him and looked at him somewhat flatteringly: "Brother Hanwen, you are here. I thought you weren't coming."

The middle-aged man in front of him is Hua Hanwen, the current talking head of the four major aristocratic families, Hua and Wen.

Hua Hanwen waved his hand and said, "Some small things delayed me for a while."

As he said that, he looked at the gate of the Demon Suppressing Division in front of him and smiled: "As soon as Chu Zhen Envoy came to Donghai Prefecture, he caused a big storm. Today I am here to see what he can do."

Wang Yuanqianhu smiled awkwardly and said, "The conference is about to begin. You are here just in time."

"Friends from the Hua and Wen families have already arrived. I will take you to find them."

Hua Hanwen cupped his hands and said, "Qianhu, please lead the way."

So under the gaze of everyone, Hua Hanwen followed Wang Yuan Qianhu into the Qianhu Office, and came all the way to the school grounds of the Demon Suppressing Division.

At this moment, people from the four major aristocratic families, two major sects, and the Baiyang Sect gathered on one side of the school grounds.

Then Hua Hanwen looked to the other side of the school field.

Chu Qiguang was seen wearing a unicorn suit, sitting on a Taishi chair, with a female Jin holding a cat standing next to him.

In addition, behind Chu Qiguang stood more than a dozen men, women, and children with different temperaments.
