Chapter 126: The Region Expands

Beijing, Qintian Tower.

At the moment when Lingguang Hall appeared, a flash of light appeared on a white jade table on the top of Qintian Tower.

Yuan Qi, the director of the Imperial Observatory, sensed the movement and immediately ran to the roof. When he saw a pattern appear on the stone table, his face was shocked.

A continent appeared on the white jade table, and in the southern part of the continent stood a magnificent red palace - Lingguang Palace.

A strange phenomenon also occurred in the Guangyin Tower opposite the Qintian Tower. The history books of the Four Spiritual Realms appeared again, and spiritual light gathered to write a line of words on the paper.

On the seventh day of the sixth month of the 4990th year of Qi Ling, Lingguang Palace appeared.

At the southernmost tip of Dajin, deep in the vast South China Sea, the fog dissipated, and a vast and boundless land slowly emerged.

On land, mountains of flaming red rock and giant mountains that constantly spew out flames can be seen everywhere.

On the other side, outside the Lingguang Palace, after the Demon-Suppressing Army left, Prince Fu was unwilling to let the ruins fall into the hands of others, and wanted to send people into the Lingguang Palace to investigate.

The officials from the Ministry of Justice wanted to show off in front of Prince Fu, so they sent out people from the Six Gates to take the lead.

After receiving the order, the people from the Six Gates all looked solemn.

Chief Constable Xie Zhixun looked at his men and whispered, "Be careful when you go in, and don't mess with the things inside."

Compared to the nervousness of others, Hua Minghe, who was already a monk, was more excited.

In the past, the Six Gates mostly dealt with matters concerning martial artists, and they had never been involved in things like exploring the remains of monks.

Soon, under the leadership of Xie Zhixun, the people from the Six Gates crossed the gate tower and walked towards the towering palace complex.

However, when they stepped onto the ruby-paved ground, most of the people in the Six Gates jumped up, then turned around and quickly went back.

"Sir, the floor inside is very hot. Walking on it is like walking on a red-hot iron plate."

The feet of several people from Liushenmen were burned so badly that they had difficulty walking.

After seeing this, Prince Fu frowned, and after a moment of silence, he sent out several monks behind him.

After passing the gate tower, a few monks didn't walk far before turning back quickly.

"Your Majesty, after passing the gatehouse, I and others will not be able to use spiritual power."

Except for the cultivators with fire spiritual roots, although the feet of other cultivators were not burned like the warriors of the Six Gates, their feet were also burned unbearably by the scorching heat.

"It seems that only cultivators with fire spiritual roots can enter this Lingguang Hall."

After hearing his subordinate's inference, Prince Fu looked at the officials from the six ministries present and said, "You all don't want to come here for nothing, do you?"

The officials looked at each other and sent out the monks with fire spiritual roots that they had brought with them.

After a dozen monks with fire spiritual roots passed the gate tower, although they could no longer use their spiritual power, the Red Jade Steps did not harm them. These people walked safely to the bottom of the Red Jade Steps and climbed up the steps.

Seeing them successfully climb the stairs, Prince Fu and the officials looked better.

However, when those people climbed to the first palace and wanted to open the palace door, a red light appeared and directly knocked them out.

More than a dozen monks fell from the steps that were dozens of meters high and fell heavily to the ground.

Looking at this scene, Prince Fu’s face immediately darkened.

There are already several ruins occupied by the royal family, and he has some understanding of some of the rules for recognizing ownership of the ruins.

This Lingguang Palace obviously belongs to the man in black robe. Unless the man in black robe is willing to give up Lingguang Palace, only by killing him and making Lingguang Palace ownerless will others have a chance to fight for it again.

'Who sent that black-robed man?'

There was a dangerous light flashing in Prince Fu's eyes. Lingguang Palace was right in the capital's territory, and he came to the royal territory to slap the royal family in the face. It seemed that with the revival of spiritual energy, some people could no longer sit still.

"My Lords, my brother is still waiting for our reply. Please follow me into the palace."

It was impossible to investigate Lingguang Palace, and it would be a waste of time to stay here, but the identity of the man in black robe must be found out. Prince Fu left a team of personal guards to guard the place, and then took the officials present back to Beijing.

Originally, the officials from the Ministry of Justice also wanted to leave people from the Six Gates to guard here, but Xie Zhixun disagreed, saying that many people were injured and had to go back to recuperate.

In this way, Hua Minghe and others can leave.

"Brother He, what kind of medicine did you give us? It's really effective. My feet don't hurt much anymore."

On the way back to Beijing, Xie Zhi found an ox cart to pull the men whose feet were seriously injured. Although they couldn't walk, they were still in unbearable pain. It was not until Hua Minghe gave them medicine that they felt alive again.

Hua Minghe smiled and said, "This medicinal powder was made by my Sanlang. If you think it's good, I'll bring you some later."

Xie Zhixun looked over and motioned Hua Minghe to show him the medicine. After looking at the medicine, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Minghe, the medicine your Sanlang made is a little different from the ordinary wound medicine."

Hua Minghe trusted his colleagues who had been through life and death with him, especially Xie Zhixun, who took care of him in every way. He blurted out, "The prescription was found by my Jiu Niang in a medical book by accident."

Xie Zhixun glanced at him and said, "Is that the little girl who was captured and sacrificed by the demon two years ago?"

Hua Minghe nodded: "Yes."

Xie Zhixun said with a smile: "Your little girl is brave and smart. She knows how to save herself. Among so many people who were captured by the evil monks and evil Taoists, she is the only one I know who survived."

Hua Minghe still feels a little scared when he thinks about his daughter being kidnapped and sacrificed: "My Jiu Niang has that kind of personality. Sometimes, I think it's a good thing for her to be bold, but sometimes, I think it's not good to be too bold."

"If she were a boy, I would wake up laughing in my dreams, but she is a girl, too bold. I am really afraid that she won't be able to find a husband."

Xie Zhixun patted Hua Minghe's shoulder comfortingly: "By the way, you said before that she joined the Medical Department as a handyman?"

Hua Minghe said 'hmm': "I wanted her to go home, but she didn't want to."

Xie Zhixun was surprised: "You forbid her to go to the Medical Department, how can she disobey the order of you as a father?"

Hua Minghe smiled awkwardly. It was not easy for him to say that he could not make decisions for his daughter, so he could only make up for it by saying, "My daughter is grown up now, so I can't interfere too much in her affairs."

Xie Zhixun was somewhat speechless: "I think you are spoiling your child too much." He paused, "Actually, it would be better to let your little daughter continue to stay in the errand hall."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Now many noble officials in the court want to put their descendants into the Medical Department. I heard that the Seventh Prince also went to the Medical Department."

"People in higher positions never do anything without benefits. They are vying to enter the Medical Department. There must be some benefits in the Medical Department."

"Since your daughter is in the Medical Department, let her stay there and see how the people above her act. If she follows their instructions, she will be able to have some soup."

After hearing this, Hua Minghe nodded and said, "I will tell Jiu Niang."

At this time, someone started shouting.

"What's going on? It usually takes me more than an hour to reach the city gate, but today I've been walking for so long, how come I haven't even seen the city gate yet?"

Xie Zhixun and Hua Minghe's attention was drawn to that, and at this moment, they also noticed something was wrong.

Xie Zhixun looked back at the still clearly visible towering red palace, and said in shock: "Nanxiang County has grown bigger." Upon hearing this, his men were all shocked: "How could Nanxiang County grow bigger?"

Xie Zhixun shook his head: "I don't know, but before, some people reported to the court that some mountains and rivers had become bigger, but these things were suppressed."

"This world is about to change!"

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Xie Zhixun suddenly looked at Hua Minghe: "Minghe, we are all brothers who have been through life and death together. If it is not difficult, can you tell us how to become a monk?"

Hua Minghe looked at Xie Zhixun in surprise.

Xie Zhixun pointed at all his men and said, "After passing the gate, they were all injured, except you and me. I was injured because of my shoes. What about you? What's your injury?"

"I looked at the people who passed through the gatehouse from behind, and all of them were monks, and none of them were injured."

Hua Minghe knew Xie Zhixun's ability to observe details, and he did not deny that it was the cultivator's fault that was discovered.

"Boss, are you really a monk?"

The several constables who were working with Hua Minghe ignored the pain in their feet and came forward to surround Hua Minghe.

"How did you become a monk?"

"When was it completed?"

"Can we become monks?"

Hua Minghe was overwhelmed by the questions. He raised his hand to stop them and looked at Xie Zhixun: "Captain, I didn't become a cultivator by myself. I can't promise you anything, but I can ask for you."

Xie Zhixun smiled and patted Hua Minghe on the shoulder: "This is already very good."

The people from the Six Gates were excited when they learned that they could also become monks. However, they soon became discouraged again.

There is no other reason, the area of ​​Nanxiang County is dozens of times larger than before.

Hua Minghe and his group walked for three days and three nights before they saw the gate of the southern city of the capital.

"Nanxiang County is no longer a county. It seems that the area it governs is larger than that of an ordinary state capital."

Neither Xie Zhixun nor Hua Minghe expected that Nanxiang County would grow so much.

Looking at his tired subordinates, after entering the city, Xie Zhixun asked them to go home and rest.

At the same time, a fierce battle was still breaking out at the underground Jiuyou Genmen Pass.

The Heavenly Department dispatched half of its Demon-Suppressing Army, and after several days of fighting, they captured Genmen Bridge, Minglong Pavilion, and Niutou Mountain. Just when Wei Zhenjie wanted to attack Baigu Mountain, he was told that Baigu Mountain had been occupied by the Mansion of Duke Xin.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Zhenjie was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "Why is the Xin Guogong Mansion everywhere?"

Chu Junyi, who was standing aside, waited until Wei Zhenjie had finished venting his anger before speaking, "The reason why the Xinguo Mansion reacted so quickly was because of Gu Jinfan's reminder."

"Madam Bai Gu was trapped and killed by Gu Jinfan using the Kunlun Mirror."

After hearing this, Wei Zhenjie narrowed his eyes and said, "It's really lucky that the Xinguo Mansion has a person like Gu Jinfan."

Among the eight dukes' mansions in the capital, the power of the Duke of Xin's mansion is actually at the bottom. However, in the past two years, as the Duke of Xin's mansion has seized more and more resources, it has been catching up with the leading Duke of Ding's mansion.

Chu Junyi also felt that Gu Jinfan was a character. He had witnessed Gu Jinfan's courage when they were in Kunlun Mountain before. If it weren't for her charge, the Xin Guo Mansion would not have been able to return with a full load.

Chu Junyi looked at Wei Zhenjie: "Master, what exactly is the reason for the changes in Gen Sect this time?"

The Heaven Department had placed people at all nine gates of Jiuyou. As soon as Wei Zhenjie arrived at Genmen, he learned the whole story and sighed, "Master Changmei of Xiangguo Temple is dead."

"Some time ago, I received news that Xiangguo Temple and Tianshi Mansion wanted their disciples to come to Jiuyou for training. Later, Sanqing Palace and Taisu Palace also got involved."

"Finally, Master Changmei led a team of 20 to 30 disciples from several schools to come to Jiuyou for training. With so many of them, there was no danger at first, but they entered the Broken Soul Forest."

Chu Junyi was shocked: "Entering the Broken Soul Forest, they want to..."

Wei Zhenjie said calmly: "The training is fake, their purpose should be to seize the Liangyi Fubi."

Chu Junyi asked hurriedly: "Did they get the Liang Yi Fu Pen?"

Wei Zhenjie shook his head: "I don't know. Master Changmei and his group were captured and brought to Niutou Mountain. They were locked up in the Soul Devouring Well. Logically, they were supposed to have their soul power sucked out by the Soul Devouring Tree, but they were not destined to die."

"A female cultivator who drank the Soul Sealing Soup but was still able to use her spiritual power was also locked in the Soul Devouring Well. It was that female cultivator who rescued them from the Soul Devouring Well."

Chu Junyi was a little surprised: "How did she do it?"

Wei Zhenjie narrowed his eyes and said, "That female cultivator was able to condense the Suzaku Flame of the Burning Silence Primordial Spirit. The Nether Dragon was seriously injured because of the Suzaku Flame. The reason we were able to capture the Nether Dragon Pavilion so easily is because all the ghosts in the Nether River at the Gen Gate section were burned to death by the Suzaku Flame."

"Suzaku Flame."

Chu Junyi thought of something and immediately told Wei Zhenjie that Lingguang Hall was taken away by a man in black robe.

After hearing this, Wei Zhenjie slammed the table and said, "When the Emperor Suzaku of Lingguang Palace walked on earth, he called himself Lingguang Jun. Why didn't I think of it before?"

If he had thought about it before, he would not have thought that taking over Lingguang Palace was less urgent than coming to Jiuyou. He would definitely lead the team to take over Lingguang Palace personally.

"That person in black robe must be the female cultivator who fought against the Nether Dragon. She was able to severely injure the Nether Dragon. Her cultivation must not only be at the Jindan stage. She is a strong person at the Nascent Soul stage. The Heaven Department didn't receive any news about her. Where did she come from?"

Chu Junyi looked at him: "Master, I guessed who she is."

Wei Zhenjie: “Who?”

Chu Junyi: "The Fire Lotus Fairy of Wuzhi Mountain."

Wei Zhenjie stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Don't mention it, it really could be her. Have you found out the true identity of the Fire Lotus Fairy?"

Chu Junyi shook his head: "Every time the Fire Lotus Fairy appears, she only summons the Anran and Anze siblings. Anyone who has seen her has sworn a heart demon oath, and there is no way to find out her origins."

"The mountain spirits of Wuzhi Mountain and the Welcoming Pine should know, but we can't catch them."

Wei Zhenjie: "Continue to monitor Wuzhi Mountain and make sure to find out the identity of the Fire Lotus Fairy."

At this time, Meng Ziyu and Ye Jingzhou came.

"Minister, Commander, look what this is?"

The two men each brought over a wooden tray, which was filled with storage magic weapons.

Chu Junyi stepped forward to take a look, frowned and said: "This demon from Niutou Mountain actually killed so many cultivators of my human race."

Wei Zhenjie didn't say anything, but asked Meng Ziyu and Ye Jingzhou to distribute the storage magic weapons in the wooden tray to the soldiers who performed outstandingly this time.

After the two left, Wei Zhenjie smiled and said to Chu Junyi: "Come on, I will take you to see the Soul Devouring Well. There is a soul crystal mine under this Niutou Mountain."

"Since we have occupied Niutou Mountain, I don't have to worry about having no resources to cultivate when I advance to the Lingtai realm in the future. Speaking of which, I really have to thank the Fire Lotus Fairy. If she hadn't ignited the Styx, it would have been difficult for us to attack the Gen Gate."
