The Lord who use immortals as food

I don't know why it was so quiet for so long, but by noon, the Shaolong Sword Dao Golden Book was finally completed.

A golden scroll flew down from the Jade Sword Pavilion, and the final list of 72 people was arranged one by one on it.

The first one was Xiang Zongyuan.

The young hero Pei Ye was still as legendary in the end. He did not leave the sword stage for the competition. It is said that he defeated everyone in the Jade Sword Pavilion, but he gave up the first place and left.

His place was filled by a five-born girl from Bowang. It is said that she also took the sword letter before, but for some reason she refused. The compilation meeting finally agreed to her the 33rd place, which also caused a lot of talk.

It was a bit strange that everyone in the Jade Sword Pavilion did not leave the Jade Sword Stage until the evening of the next day, and no news came out during this period.

They left here in batches and low-key from different paths. The crowd still watching hardly saw a few people. Only famous faces like Xiang Cui Qinan were caught a few times, but all of them were silent and taciturn, and soon got on the carriage and left.

Su Xingke should be more likely to say something, but this young man who won the third place as soon as he debuted was not like the day before when he defeated Chi Longyun with his sword. He was almost stunned by the cheering crowd. Qi Mengchen held his hand and got on the carriage with his senior brothers and sisters.

The celebration was of course carried out as scheduled. The finally settled Golden Book of Sword Dao began to be circulated in fifty states, and in some less noticed places, thousands of Xiyu books were being quickly collected and destroyed. The news about "Pei Ye" was blocked in Shaolong Prefecture and erased from countless people.

The entire government office and Xianren Terrace continued with an extremely depressed atmosphere.

Many middle and low-level officials still didn't know what happened, but there was definitely a heavy cloud hanging high above. For several days, some key people were silent.

"He didn't give anyone time to react - mainly he didn't give Lord Sui time to react." Zhang Xiaozhu and the man with a Confucian cap walked side by side on the back street of Xianren Terrace. The two had just returned from the government office, and Zhang Xiaozhu held a roll of official documents in his hand.

"Didn't say a word?"

"Didn't say a word." Zhang Xiaozhu emphasized, "If he said a word, Lord Sui would have a hundred ways to avoid his eyes."

"Then there will be no fight."

"Then there will be no fight."

".How many years have I not seen such a determined person-how old is he?"

"Seventeen."

"Damn heroes are born young-are you sure it's the heart sword?"

"Otherwise, how could Lord Sui be defeated in the mind realm."

The morning fog was heavy, and the buildings of Xianren Terrace were submerged in the fog. There were no voices or figures in the alley.

There were only two footsteps.

"Is the letter from Wu Hejian true or false?"

"It is indeed his handwriting."

".Do you think it is true?"

"." Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment, "If Lord Sui is still alive, it is not true."

"You said the government office will not admit it?"

"We can't find evidence either."

".Yes."

"So Wu Hejian wants to get the evidence first-" The man paused and looked at the front.

I have arrived at the back door of Xianren Terrace. Behind the hazy fog, the man in blue clothes is standing here again.

".Master Li."

"Hello, Master Zhang."

The girl's clothes and boots were clean, and her beautiful face was slightly pale, but her hair was neat and her expression was calm: "The conversation record between Wu Hejian and Pei Ye before they separated in Bowang has been delivered."

She handed a large letter that was carefully wrapped to Zhang Xiaozhu: "Please read it carefully. Pei Ye went to Kongtong as Wu Hejian's agent. Now that Wu Hejian is dead, he is holding the will and the jade tiger to complete this entrustment - Pei Ye is doing the work of the Immortal Terrace, this is definitely not a private punishment!"

The girl looked at the tall man in front of her seriously, she pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes revealed a kind of compelling tenacity.

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a while, and reached out to take it.

It has been four days, and he has seen this blue skirt countless times.

Since that day, she has been running around in this city. Zhang Xiaozhu suspects that she has not even closed her eyes. It is said that the people of Tianshan have arrived in the city yesterday, Kongtong is also in contact, and she even sent news to Yunlang Mountain.

She was working in the right direction, and her behavior was precise and appropriate. The only thing she insisted on proving in the past four days was that Pei Ye was the continuation of Wudong's plan, not a self-impulsive lynching.

But in fact, they all knew that the young man was neither. Without Wudong's instructions and without impulse, he made this decision calmly and peacefully. It was too precise and too clear, just to complete the assassination of the new governor so unexpectedly.

Zhang Xiaozhu flipped through it twice, but did not open it. He raised his eyes and whispered, "Master Li, there were more than 200 people in the Jade Sword Pavilion that day, and most of them were from the sect."

".Master Zhang, Pei Ye was killed by your Yanjian." Li Piaoqing looked at him and pursed his lips.

Of course, Pei Ye had not died yet, but Zhang Xiaozhu understood what the girl meant. He could have died in Bowang, and she would definitely let Bowang produce enough strong evidence.

"No one would believe that Xianrentai would do this, Master Li." Zhang Xiaozhu raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "——That's the Shaolong Sword Selection Competition."

"." The girl's face seemed to be a little paler. She smiled and was about to turn around again, but was stopped by the man:

"Master Li, you can go see him today."

Li Piaoqing turned around and was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean I can see? Who?"

"Pei Ye." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "You can visit him for half a quarter today."

“.” The girl pursed her lips, her face suppressed excitement or fear, but her voice was still trying to be stable, "Thank you, Master Zhang."

The boy was imprisoned in the deepest part of the Immortal Terrace.

After passing through layers of mysterious arrays and mechanisms, there was no sound or even light in the deep underground, and it was dark and silent.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Zhang Xiaozhu in front stopped: "We can't communicate - of course he is also unconscious."

Li Piaoqing paused. There was only this prison in the entire space. The mysterious energy emitted a faint light. Through layers of deep confinement, she finally saw the figure locked on the wall.

Behind it was a pure stone wall. Hundreds of steel buckles imprisoned every inch of his body. The boy was barefoot and wore only a single piece of clothing, which was stained with old blood. He hung his head and did not move, and his whole body was limp, like a corpse.

A pure black flame burned in his abdomen.

Li Piaoqing's throat suddenly choked, and she subconsciously grabbed Zhang Xiaozhu's sleeve, looking up at him and unable to speak for a while.

"The injury suffered by Yujian Pavilion that day." Zhang Xiaozhu replied, "You know, he killed Lord Sui with a heart sword, and no one in the Xuanmen present dared to hold back."

"But in fact, he did not resist, and his mind was also shaky at that time." Zhang Xiaozhu continued, "We sealed him after taking over, from body to mind, now he is indeed no different from a dead man."

The man's voice fell, and there was complete silence around him. Li Piaoqing quietly looked at the figure on the stone wall in the distance, and spent half a quarter of an hour motionlessly.

After a long time, she bit her lip and murmured: ". You are so annoying."

However, the boy still did not respond like a dead body, and Zhang Xiaozhu waved his hand to extinguish the light: "Time is up."

"." Li Piaoqing moved her throat, turned around and left with the man, leaving the boy in the deep and silent darkness again.

The two walked quietly along the long stone steps, back into the morning mist, and walked out of the gate. Li Piaoqing finally said in a hoarse voice: "Master Zhang."

"Hmm?"

"Will you execute him?" She stopped and looked at the man.

Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a moment, but did not answer.

He turned around and continued to walk out.

Li Piaoqing lowered his eyes and followed.

They walked out of the Immortal Terrace quietly all the way. The morning mist was a little lighter, and Zhang Xiaozhu stopped.

"Master Li Wu Hejian is also my predecessor."

"."

"I know how much effort you have put in these days, but I have not been able to give you an answer." The man said in a low voice, "This matter has too much impact and is too sensitive - according to the current trend of the meeting, Pei Ye may indeed be executed."

The girl's body stiffened visibly.

"But I just went to the government office to participate in the morning meeting, so I can't answer you this question anymore." Zhang Xiaozhu looked at her, "You have always wanted to visit him, so I took you to see him today, and this is my authority."

Li Piaoqing was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Because we received this official document this morning, all the meetings in the government office have been suspended." Zhang Xiaozhu handed her the rolled-up document in his hand, "After the case was reported, it was rushed from Shenjing."

Li Piaoqing was slightly stunned and took it, unfolding it, there was a line of simple and powerful handwriting.

"Escort Pei Ye today, and the case will be transferred to Shenjing for handling."

Below are two square red seals, one large and one small, one saying "Zhaoshi Xianrentai"; the other saying "Seal of Zhang Siche, the Minister of Xianrentai".
