Chapter 453: Chapter 364: The Sacred Beast Kylin! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

Just as Earl Sun Jizong was speaking at the meeting, the jailers had already brought out long reddish chains, winding and nailing them outside the fences and cell doors. Several spellcasters among them also began to etch temporary talismans around the cell.

Li Xuan watched carefully and discovered that they were using a special material. It could maintain a powerful effect in a short time, and afterwards, these runes would not leave any trace.

Even the chains were probably similar in nature.

A look of understanding crossed his eyes as he conjectured what they were trying to do.

"You should feel honored." Sun Jizong turned his back, arrogance glinting in his eyes. "This containment method is specifically designed for your execution by a heavenly level expert. Once the array is activated, even a heavenly level expert will find it difficult to escape. But you still have a chance. Since the array is not completed yet, you can escape right now."

"Why should Li run?"

Li Xuan chuckled and calmly took a seat behind a table in the room. "After running away and being labeled a fugitive, only to be righteously hunted and killed?"

His face turned serious, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Li has a message for you, Sun Jizong. It was easy for you to lock me up, but if you want to get me out of here in the future, it may not be that easy."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jizong found it utterly absurd and ridiculous. He couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. "Earl Jingan, have you gone mad? Your words are incomprehensible. No matter what, Sun will never release you from this cell."

When he saw that the red chains were all nailed down and Li Xuan didn’t make any move in the cell, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He hoped that Li Xuan would run away, as his subsequent actions would be much easier to handle without expending much effort.

Unlike now, although they could put Li Xuan in a desperate situation, there was a lot of aftermath to deal with and numerous potential dangers to placate. He even had to let some people take the blame.

"Since Earl Jingan has no intention of escaping, please enjoy the program I have prepared for you."

Sun Jizong laughed heartily, forcefully pulling the pale-faced Sun Chuyun towards the outside of the jail. "The program is very exciting, Earl Jingan will definitely love it. Don’t count on Immortal Master Shuide and Jiang Yunqi to save you. Although they are indeed strong, I have arrangements to keep them at bay for a day or two—"

Just after Sun Jizong left, the Dali Temple Imperial Censor standing outside the cell suddenly shattered his robe into dust, revealing his Taoist robe underneath. His facial skin cracked like shattered porcelain and transformed into countless fragments, breaking away piece by piece.

When these fragments fell off, his real appearance was exposed to Li Xuan’s eyes, revealing a forty-something, beardless Taoist.

"I am Zhang Danyu, my master sends his greetings to Earl Jingan!"

This Taoist looked at Li Xuan, a crimson light flashed in his eyes, and a twisted smile appeared at the corners of his lips: "My master’s surname is Zhang, with the Taoist name Guanlan."

At this moment, a massive red array began to appear beneath Zhang Danyu’s feet.

"Although I am a member of the Zhang clan, I am limited in talent. Despite my cumulative practice, I am merely a sixth house level spell cultivator. Normally, I would not be able to catch Earl Jingan’s attention."

"However, here in the jail of the Dali Temple, my life can exchange for having Earl Jingan accompany me to the Underworld!"

Just as Zhang Danyu said this, his entire body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood powder.

Li Xuan watched in bewilderment, thinking to himself what the hell was this guy doing? He hadn’t done anything to him yet, and he killed himself already?

But in the next instant, his face involuntarily changed, showing a trace of seriousness. He felt that his surroundings, even the entire prison of the Dali Temple, started to ’come alive’ at this moment.

This caused the pervasive Yinsha power around Li Xuan to grow rapidly, making the throbbing pain in his chest more noticeable.

However, relief washed over Li Xuan next.

His biggest fear was the unknown, not knowing what kind of ’program’ Sun Jizong had prepared for him, thus he was unable to respond. But when the enemy’s intentions were revealed, Li Xuan felt at ease.

The show was indeed exciting, but he had a countermeasure.

※※ ※※

At the same moment when Zhang Danyu exploded into blood and flesh, Luo Yan, who had been guarding the outside of the Dali Temple prison, immediately noticed the abnormality inside.

She slightly furrowed her brows and instinctively wanted to dash out from beneath the eave and rush into the prison ahead to save her people.

But at that time, the figure of the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix Niulang suddenly descended from the sky and landed on her shoulder. Its gaze was incredibly calm, containing a hint of mockery as it looked down at the inside of the prison.

"Can your master handle it himself?"

Luo Yan felt the mental message being transmitted by the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix and couldn’t help feeling uncertain. She glanced worriedly at the bird on her shoulder. "Tell your master he better not take on more than he can handle."

However, the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix had already taken off again, soaring back into the sky.

At the same time, the Demon Qilin lying in front of the Inspectorate, suddenly stood up and looked towards the direction of the Dali Temple.

Its action attracted the attention of the gatekeeper and the Yayi in front of the Inspectorate.

"Did you see that dragon colt? Looks quite majestic when it stands up."

"Whose mount is this after all? It’s been here for a whole day."

"It belongs to Earl Jingan. I saw him riding this Dragon Colt here last night. He gave us five teals of patterned silver as a reward, asking us to look after it properly."

"Earl Jingan has been detained in the Dali Temple and it’s unclear when he will be released. I just tried to feed it some rations, but this Dragon Colt refuses to eat--"

But at this moment, everyone was speechless.

Because at that time, they saw that the ’ordinary Dragon Colt’ in front of them was changing its form. Its figure grew taller, revealing crimson scales and an extremely sharp single horn.

Within its scales, it harbored seemingly infinite wisdom of the divine ways, making people feel spiritual exhaustion and even eye aches just from one glance. That single horn was white as jade and incomparably sharp, appearing as if it could pierce through anything.

Fire and lightning burned under its feet, leaving numerous scorch marks on the ground.

What was more surprising was that the entire body of this mythical creature radiated a holy and clear light. A pure purple Qi surged from it, shooting straight into the sky.

"What is this?"

"It looks like the mythical Kylin rumored in the legends?"

"Could it be Hao Qi? The ’Purple Air is Coming from the East’?"

"No way, we must be seeing things. How could the mythical Kylin, appear here and be willingly ridden by humans as a mount?"

At this moment, within the Inspectorate, Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Punishments inspecting the relics from the West Scripture Room, and multiple accompanying officials, also looked up in shock towards the direction of the entrance.

"Whose Hao Qi is this pure?"

A hint of astonishment appeared in Yu Shiyue’s eyes. He was certain this was not Shaobao Yu who had gone to Datong, nor was it Li Xuan who had been imprisoned. But who could it be?

Within Beijing, was there still someone whose Hao Qi could achieve the purity of ’the Purple Air is Coming from the East’?"

But in the next moment, they saw the gate of the Inspectorate shattered, a streak of red light rushed in from outside the gate, darting in like an arrow leaving a bow, and then charging towards the Great Hall of the Inspectorate.

Yu Shiyue instinctively wanted to stop this action with his Hao Qi, but when he saw the figure within the red light, his body stiffened, revealing an unthinkable expression.

"A Jade Kylin?"

But how could that be? Jade Kylin, a divine creature, was already extinct thousands of years ago.

"It really is a Jade Kylin, such pure holy light--"

"This is a sign of prosperous era, only in a real peaceful and prosperous era would a Jade Kylin appear."

"This is the incarnation of our Confucian Saint! The historical records noted that the mother of the Saint offered prayers at Niqiu Mountain, met a Kylin and gave birth to the Saint. Later when the Saint became enlightened, he saw the Kylin and died. This Kylin refers to the Jade Kylin!"

The officials at the scene couldn’t help but reddened their faces, they were so excited they were almost unable to contain themselves. Then they witnessed the red light hitting both the ’Upright and Steadfast’ plaque in the front of the hall of the Inspectorate, and the ’Bright Mirror Hanging High’ plaque inside the hall, shattering them!

It made a huge hole in the Great Hall of the Inspectorate, then transformed into a red light again and dashed away from the people’s sight.

At this moment, everyone present showed a dumbfounded expression.

Yu Shiyue was also baffled. He couldn’t understand why the Jade Kylin would choose to shatter the door of the Inspectorate? The Great Hall of the Inspectorate?

And considering its explosive entry, it seemed to specifically target those two plaques.

Could it be that those two plaques had upset the Jade Kylin?

Yu Shiyue couldn’t help but glance over at the Zuodu Yushi standing beside him, and the deputy Zuodu Yushi Lin Youzhen. He saw that both of their faces were drained of blood, pale as paper.

Then in the next moment, murmurs arose among the crowd.

"Breaking in and shattering the door, this is an omen of misfortune--"

"It couldn’t be that someone from the Inspectorate has violated the imperial laws and the divine way of the Saint, angering the Jade Kylin into making an appearance?"

"How could that be possible? Don’t spread rumors."

"What rumors? It didn’t shatter anything else but the ’Upright and Steadfast’ and ’Bright Mirror Hanging High’ plaques in the courtyard, there must be a reason for that."

"What should we do about this?"

"First it was the Demon Qilin, now it’s the Jade Kylin, what is up with this world?"

"Silence!"

It was Yu Shiyue. He silenced the officials, then turned his gaze again towards the place where the red light had disappeared, "Where is our Yuanwai in the Ministry of Punishments? Hurry to the royal city and report this matter to His Majesty!"

However, his eyes were filled with perplexity. He noticed that the direction of the red light was heading towards the East Palace in the Forbidden City.

What was this Jade Kylin intending?
