Chapter 657: Chapter 540: I Never Agreed (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

Li Xuan was well versed in military tactics, once he made his move, it was just like a thousand-pound thunderbolt, absolutely unstoppable.

Upon his arrival in Langfang with Hua Shenxiao, figures such as Ao Shuying, Jiang Yunqi, Jiang Hanyun, Xuanchenzi, and Leng Yurou arrived in succession not long after.

Since he could not use the power of the government to oppress people this time, Li Xuan decided not to employ any of Hua Shenxiao’s soldiers. Instead, he gathered as many heavenly and false heavenly positions around him as possible, trying to strike decisively in one blow.

Li Xuan even invited Prince Anburo, Deji Yangzong, but just missed out on the Bashe Queen.

He had a good relationship with the people from the Anburo Clan, but he could not return the favor to the Bashe Queen. What if she still wanted to mate with him?

However, when everyone had gathered, Li Xuan found himself having some regrets.

This was because Ao Shuying was amazed as soon as she arrived, "Li Xuan, you know so many people, and they are all beautiful women. I’ve heard that this Zhao Xixue and Princess Changle are equally famous, known as the Double Princess of Quanzhen, an entertaining and talented beauty. Did you know her from before?"

She was just asking out of curiosity, but little did she know of the implications of her words, listeners interpret things in their ways.

Li Xuan noticed that Jiang Yunqi’s face had darkened.

Seeing this, Li Xuan quickly made a disclaimer, "You misunderstood, Lord, I have never met this Princess Xixue in my life. This gathering of us is due to the request from the head of the Longmen, and also because of Princess Xixue, who may be related to the recent events at the Duchenghuang Temple, which shouldn’t be taken lightly—"

He was still talking when Ao Shuying’s pupils suddenly changed. She showed a pair of golden eyes, looking suspiciously in a certain direction behind Li Xuan.

—That was the Bashe Queen, she and Prince Anburo, Deji Yangzong arrived hand in hand.

"Bashe!" Ao Shuying looked suspectingly at Li Xuan: "Why is she here?"

Li Xuan thought to himself, I also want to know. He looked at Prince Deji Yangzong of Anburo with questioning eyes, suspecting that this guy was yet holding a grudge against him for tearing apart the Anburo Clan, intending to retaliate.

The prince just shrugged his hands innocently.

He and the Bashe Queen were staying in a courtyard managed by the Honglu Temple, no matter what movements were made, they could hardly be concealed from each other.

Bashe Queen held eye contact with Ao Shuying, her eyes sharp like knives.

However, she didn’t care much about this dragoness, she soon turned her attention to Li Xuan: "Li Xuan, why didn’t you call me?"

Li Xuan sighed in relief, thinking to himself: finally, I’m off the hook.

However, in the next instant, he heard the Bashe Queen ask: "Li Xuan, when are you planning to mate with me? I’m in my ovulation period now, and it’s the best time. Our little snake, will undoubtedly be the strongest."

Jiang Yunqi’s face immediately darkened, not just the bottom of a pot. Luo Yan’s face was also ugly. If it wasn’t for fear of alerting the enemy with their movements, she would have already cut off the Bashe Queen’s tongue.

Hua Shenxiao looked shocked. He had always been skeptical about Xue Yunrou’s recommendation.

But now, the ’heavenly positions’ gathered here alone totaled four. The aura flowing from Luo Yan, Jiang Hanyun, Xuanchenzi, and others was also extraordinary.

Hua Shenxiao found it impossible to link the man in front of him with the playboy from a year ago.

With a soft cough, Li Xuan assumed a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I never promised you anything. But since you’re here, this is indeed an opportunity for me. Everyone, we can start now, the goal is to save people, cause harm second —"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hanyun frowned: "There’s something wrong in this mansion."

She stroked the six-tailed Spirit Fox in her arms, carefully sensing it: "Lei says there’s likely a trap inside, so it’s quite dangerous."

"What kind of trap?" Luo Yan focused her spirit and eyed the riverside mansion suspiciously: "Is there an ambush inside?"

But she saw nothing. The outer area of the mansion was covered by powerful illusion magic, which not only blocked her divine consciousness but also rendered her Spirit Eye useless.

Li Xuan’s eyes were filled with icy colors: "Let’s go in and have a look first. Everyone, be careful. If you encounter danger, retreat first and prioritize your own safety."

He wanted to take a chance, and if it didn’t work out, he would have to call on the forces of the Liudao Division and the Jingying army.

However, when Li Xuan stepped into the Zhao’s mansion, he was taken aback.

He saw bodies all over the ground. However, all the deceased were ordinary households and servants. The members of the White Lotus Sect that Hua Shenxiao had mentioned were nowhere to be found.

"This is impossible! It can’t be, why is there nobody here?"

Hua Shenxiao flew around the mansion on his sword, but he couldn’t find even half a follower of the White Lotus Sect.

They quickly arrived in front of the main house of the mansion, and Hua Shenxiao’s face turned pale. He saw a middle-aged man sitting in the hall.

The man’s face was unrecognizable, his eyes, nose, tongue, and ears had all been dug out, neatly placed on the tea table next to him.

However, the middle-aged man was still alive, he was still breathing, but for some reason, he seemed paralyzed on his chair.

"Senior Brother!" Hua Shenxiao immediately flew forward, heading straight for the direction of the main hall.

However, Li Xuan’s eyes altered slightly: "No, don’t go over there."

He used his pure Hao Qi to form a hand-like shape, forcefully pulling Hua Shenxiao’s body. Luo Yan, whose mind was connected with his, had already taken control of the Hongxiu Knife, slashing at Hua Shenxiao before he could react.

She didn’t harm him, only injecting Zhenyuan energy into him, causing Hua Shenxiao to lose his ability to resist and struggle.

The two of them, holding Hua Shenxiao, flew like fleeting rays of light towards the outside of the manor.

The next moment, boundless dark flames erupted from inside the main hall. Countless dark poison flames spewed out, sweeping across every direction.

Not only did these flames contain unimaginable high temperatures, they were also mixed with poison. Anything they came in contact with would instantly be burned to ashes and dust.

Even the ground was instantly turned into molten lava.

Fortunately, Leng Yurou and the others had already retreated in time, avoiding these black poisonous fires.

Li Xuan didn’t stop until he was a hundred feet outside the manor, at this point, black flames had already appeared on him and Hua Shenxiao.

These flames seemed to have their own lives, spreading incessantly inside their bodies. But in the blink of an eye, these flames were all suppressed and extinguished by Li Xuan’s Hao Qi.

At this time, the black flames that had spread across the manor in the sky had condensed to form a black Buddhist image.

At first, it was like a fierce demon, emitting a murderous aura and filled with demonic qi.

But in the blink of an eye, this Buddha Mother Dharma Phase became dignified and majestic, cloaked in auras, adorning a thousand streams of luster.

She then opened her eyes, looking at Li Xuan, and laughed knowingly. "So it’s you, the world-renowned Marquis Guanjun. You’ve brought so many heavenly-level individuals here. I am indeed honored."

Li Xuan’s face was pale as he asked, "Where is Zhao Xixue?"

"She has been sent to the Underworld in Beijing. Soon, she will meet her predetermined fate. She is very honored; the ’Aboveground Buddha Country’ of this world is about to be realized because of her."

The golden Buddha Mother looked at him contemplatively. "If you want to find her, come to Mingtu then. However, let me warn you in advance, her fate has already been decided by the ’Future Buddha’. No matter who tries to reverse it, they will all be crushed by the power of the Future Buddha. Oh yes, there’s something else."

As if recalling something, she smiled slightly. "There’s also your yet-to-be-seen mentor. These few days might be the last time his Primordial Spirit exists in this world. If you don’t see him for the last time, it would be a pity. I’ll also be waiting for you there, curious to see what the world-renowned Yangtang Divine Saber looks like in the Underworld."

At this moment, Hua Shenxiao has already risen on his sword, and countless green Sword Qi, plummeted toward the golden Buddha Mother.

However, in the next moment, the figure of the golden Buddha Mother had already vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, the area between Li Xuan’s eyebrows was furrowed into the character ’Chuan’.

※※※※

At the same time, at the Chenghuang Temple in Beijing.

The Deputy Venerable of the Liudao Division was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the statue of the Duchenghuang in front of him.

In his Spirit Eye, a blood-red miasma had already appeared on the golden body of this statue.

Deputy Venerable sighed softly and flicked his robe. "Please call a few spell cultivators from The Fourth Gate to take this statue out of the city for suppression with a talisman array. Also, not just in Beijing, but in the whole range of north Zhili, all the statues of Zhonglie Duke Wen should be completely removed and sealed."

"This—" Mu Qiangwei next to him was a bit startled, "Deputy Venerable, isn’t this decision a bit rash?"

"Don’t you see it too? The reality is stark. Zhonglie Duke Wen can no longer suppress the poison fire within his body."

Deputy Venerable retired shaking his head, "I don’t wish to do this either, but since last night, more than seventy people have died from it, and an additional five hundred have been infected by the poison. If not dealt with now, when should we wait? Until Zhonglie Duke Wen completely transforms into a wicked god?"

He stared at Mu Qiangwei. "We need to deal with this as soon as possible. Not only Zhonglie Duke Wen’s statues, but also his life longevity tablets among the common people must be cleaned up early. We need to explain to them that from today, they are no longer allowed to worship Zhonglie Duke Wen’s statues or tablets and can’t offer sacrifices to the statues, otherwise, they’ll suffer an unpredictable catastrophe."

Mu Qiangwei felt complicated but bowed her head to comply, "Your subordinate obeys!"

When she looked up again, she found that Deputy Venerable was already walking out the door.

Mu Qiangwei was curious, but Zhu Chiling on the side had already asked, "Deputy Venerable, where are you going? If it’s a fight, take me along."

"I’m going to the palace," Deputy Venerable said coldly, "To ask Jianguo to issue an order to temporarily dismiss the Duchenghuang’s divine position."

Mu Qiangwei looked at Zhu Chiling and couldn’t help but feel sorrow.

At this point, the feeling of desolation in her heart increased.
