Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Jade Capital, the Altar of Heaven.

The collapse of the Earth Mother Divine Tree was a slap in the face to Emperor Qian Yuan and the civil and military officials.

Zhou Sheng, the head of the Mystic Realm Bureau, saw the doomsday-like scene in the Mirror of Heaven's Gaze, his face as pale as a sheet.

As a member of the Upper Three Realms, Zhou Sheng could remain steadfast and unyielding even in the face of hurricanes and storms.

But at this moment, his body swayed uncontrollably, taking half a step back, the veins on his hands bulging and trembling.

It's over!

It's all over!

With such a change in the Earth Mother Tree Realm, he, as the head of the Mystic Realm Bureau, could not escape the blame.

"Zhou Sheng, I trust you so much, is this how you repay me?"

Emperor Qian Yuan's voice was like a volcano about to erupt, hiding terrifying power and chilling killing intent.

"Your subject deserves to die!"

Zhou Sheng knelt down with a thud, pressing his head firmly against the ground.

Emperor Qian Yuan's furious gaze made him feel like he was being pricked by needles, and a struggling pain came from his back.

The atmosphere in the Altar of Heaven was chilling.

The coldness of the air was like the cold wind from the far north.

Everyone present felt a chill all over their bodies, their blood freezing.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to capture the thieves and recover the losses."

"No one present understands the Earth Mother Tree Realm better than Chief Zhou. This old minister begs Your Majesty to allow Chief Zhou to atone for his sins."

Grand Secretary Jian Bingyang stepped forward and cupped his hands in a salute.

Emperor Qian Yuan's gloomy and stiff expression softened slightly under Grand Secretary Jian Bingyang's persuasion.

"Zhou Sheng, you will cooperate with the Imperial Guards to enter the Earth Mother Tree Realm and capture the thieves."

"Leng Shangyun, you will lead three thousand Imperial Guards to seal off the Earth Mother Tree Realm. If even one thief escapes, you will come to see me with your head."

"Your subject obeys!"

Leng Shangyun, the commander of the Imperial Guards, had a firm face, his expression cold and showing no emotion.

Thirty breaths later, the Imperial Guards were dispatched.

Leng Shangyun led three thousand Imperial Guards, under the leadership of Zhou Sheng, into the Earth Mother Tree Realm, sealing off all exits.

After deploying the defenses, Leng Shangyun looked into the distance, towards the central lake island.

"Chief Zhou, the central lake island is the target of the thieves. This general intends to go and take a look."

"General Leng, I will go with you."

"The target of these thieves is mostly the secret vault."

Zhou Sheng was worried and sighed.

The Earth Mother Tree Realm is a small world, naturally separated from the world where Great Yu is located, making it inconvenient to enter and exit.

In addition, the Earth Mother Divine Tree itself has considerable strength. Ordinary villains, even if they break into the Earth Mother Tree Realm, will only become nourishment for the Earth Mother Divine Tree.

Because of these reasons, the Ministry of Revenue has set up nine secret vaults on the central lake island, storing a large number of natural treasures.

Leng Shangyun and Zhou Sheng flew towards the central lake island.

Both were powerhouses of the Upper Three Realms, their movements unbelievably fast, leaving two sharp sounds of air being torn apart in the air.

Leng Shangyun shouted violently, and the long saber in his hand was unsheathed somehow.

The speed at which he drew his saber was so fast that even the action of him drawing the saber could not be seen clearly.

In the blink of an eye, twelve sharp saber rays slashed out horizontally.

One after another miserable scream rang out in mid-air.

Clusters of blood mist, like crimson mandala flowers, suddenly bloomed.

"White Lotus Sect!"

Seeing the moves these people used when they stubbornly resisted, Leng Shangyun recognized their origins, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Hmph—the people of the White Lotus Sect are really persistent!"

Leng Shangyun couldn't help but think of the assassination attempt on the Second Prince, which was probably related to today's events.

Song Heng is also a waste. After investigating for so long, he claimed to have caught many White Lotus Sect demons, but he didn't even figure out the purpose of the White Lotus Sect.

He is the Minister of Justice, I don't know how he got the position?

"Lord Zhou, let's continue to go deeper, perhaps there will be other discoveries."

"General Leng, I think so too."

The two went deep into the central lake island and finally arrived at the root of the Earth Mother Divine Tree.

The towering trunk of the Earth Mother Divine Tree crashed to the ground.

Only a tree stump with a diameter of ten feet remained, standing bare on the ground.

A large hole had been dug out of the huge tree stump.

Seeing the big hole in the tree stump, Leng Shangyun's face changed drastically, and a trace of panic and fear actually appeared in his eyes.

"The tree heart, it's gone!"

The tree heart of the Earth Mother Divine Tree had actually been dug away.

In Leng Shangyun's heart, a shocking wave was set off, as high as ten thousand feet.

This shocking emotion could not be controlled and flowed out. On his usually expressionless cold face, an extremely rare shock, horror, anger…

Various emotions could actually be displayed on one face at the same time, which was surprising.

Zhou Sheng, who was on the side, felt a darkness in front of his eyes and almost felt dizzy.

It's over!

This time it's really over!

"We must not let go of the thieves of the White Lotus Sect."

Leng Shangyun spat and said viciously, his fists clenched tightly with anger.

"Lord Zhou, you know the Earth Mother Tree Realm best, where do you think the White Lotus Sect will escape from?"

"General Leng, the Earth Mother Tree Realm only has one safe entrance, the Altar of Heaven."

"In addition to the safe entrance of the Altar of Heaven, there are also unstable spatial nodes that can be entered, but the danger is extremely high."

"But these spatial nodes are extremely hidden and often wander around, their positions are erratic…"

"So, Lord Zhou, are you trying to say that there is an internal traitor in the Mystic Realm Bureau?"

Zhou Sheng did not answer directly, but sighed helplessly.

"General Leng, let's talk about the internal traitor later."

"The White Lotus Sect has a large number of people. There are only two spatial nodes that can accommodate so many people passing through at the same time, one is located at Sunset Peak, and the other is located at Ten Mile Creek. Let's split up."

Leng Shangyun and Zhou Sheng acted separately, heading to the two spatial nodes located at Sunset Peak and Ten Mile Creek.

When Leng Shangyun rushed to Sunset Peak in a hurry, he happened to see the White Lotus Sect disciples retreating from the spatial node.

"Die!"

Holding the saber horizontally!

The mad saber slashes down!

A saber ray several feet long, as if forged from colored glaze, was cut out from the long saber in Leng Shangyun's hand.

The sharpness of this saber ray, even before it fell, made the White Lotus Sect disciples present feel as if they had been split in half.

"Alas—"

"Leng Shangyun, it's been many years since we last met, your saber technique is still so straightforward, lacking in variation."

A sigh suddenly sounded in the void.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-white giant palm several feet high probed out from the void.

Like a Azure Dragon probing its claws, it grabbed the glazed saber ray in one grasp.

With a crack!

The glazed saber ray was crushed into pieces.

Leng Shangyun sheathed his saber, looking at the gentle and refined figure in mid-air, a look of disbelief on his face.

As if he had seen the most incredible scene in his life.

"Taishu Qing, you're still alive!"

Even if Taishu Qing was turned to ashes, Leng Shangyun would still be able to recognize him.

This person was the Chief Secretary of the Zhao King.

The Zhao King's number one confidant.
