Chapter 403 Root System
"Master Baibai."

Lingzhou governor Zeng Shun looked at Bai Yuan with fear.

Bai Yuan was a person that all officials in the capital avoided, so he naturally didn't dare to provoke him.

Not to mention that Bai Yuan came to Lingzhou this time obviously for the Tianxuan Sect, so dealing with the Tianxuan Sect would be the same as dealing with him.

Bai Yuan looked at the Lingzhou prefect.

"Master Zeng, please compile a list of the sects in Lingzhou. The more detailed the better."

"Yes!"

Zeng Shun did not dare to disobey Bai Yuan's request at all.

Bai Yuan is now a second-rank official, and he is also the Right Censor-in-Chief who holds the power to supervise local officials. It would be easy to crush him to death.

Even though he understood that Bai Yuan was here to deal with the Tianxuan Sect this time, theoretically he would not make things difficult for the people in the state government. He might be the prefect of Lingzhou, so he certainly had something fishy going on.

Zeng Shun respectfully left the room.

He walked a long way away, and only when he was sure that Bai Yuan could not see his expression did his face become gloomy.

There has always been a saying in Lingzhou that the governor is permanent, but the generals are transient.

This Zeng Zhizhou served as the governor of Lingzhou for sixty years in one go, which is rare in Xuanyang.

If you say that he has nothing to do with the Tianxuan Sect, no one will believe it.

This is indeed the case. Given his relationship with the Tianxuan Sect, if anything happens to the Tianxuan Sect, he will probably not be able to continue holding the position of prefect.

An officer asked carefully: "Sir, do we really have to give it to you?"

Zeng Shun snorted coldly: "Put away those little thoughts of yours, just do as you are told, and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes!"

The officer's expression turned serious.

He had worked for Zeng Shun for more than ten years and knew very well whether the prefect was really angry.

Zeng Shun felt relieved when he saw that his subordinate was quite smart.

Who is Bai Yuan?
That person was a person who could be killed at will by the assistant minister. He was just a prefect. With Bai Yuan's current tremendous power, he could be killed at will. The censors in the Censorate were all his subordinates. Who would be able to redress his injustice?

Not to mention that the emperor Li Chengyuan is now determined to clean up the martial arts world and will not pursue the matter.

To put it bluntly, it would be a waste of life even if you die.

So he must serve this master well.

Of course, he couldn't really just watch Bai Yuan overthrow the Tianxuan Sect, he had to do something.

Zeng Shun's eyes were uncertain.

"It's more attentive."

Bai Yuan looked at the list that was hundreds of pages long and nodded with satisfaction.

The information on all sects and gangs is very complete, and the content about the Tianxuan Sect accounts for more than half of the content.

In fact, because of the existence of the Tianxuan Sect in Lingzhou, there are not many powerful underworld forces, and their strength is even sparse. Even if there are one or two strong ones, they are just puppets supported by the Tianxuan Sect.

"Master Bai, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Zeng Shun smiled along, fearing that Lord Bai would be dissatisfied in the slightest.

Bai Yuan looked at Zeng Shun with a half-smile: "Master Zeng, since you are not embarrassed, why don't you first sort out the list of Tianxuan Sect disciples known to the state government."

Zeng Shun's expression did not change at all, but he felt a joking sound in his heart and forced a smile: "Master Bai, you are joking. The Tianxuan Sect is powerful, and the state government is weak. They know too little. But since it is the request of my superior, I will naturally do my best to do it."

This statement is absolutely flawless.

First put yourself in a weak position, and then make it clear that you will do your best.

In this way, in the end, all he would have to do was hand over a list of insignificant value to Bai Yuan, which would be considered a completed task, and no one would be able to find fault with it.

Bai Yuan is an imperial censor, not an emperor.

Of course, you cannot just kill a provincial governor just because he is incompetent.

And this is indeed the case, not only in Lingzhou, but also in Jiangzhou.

Once a behemoth like the Tianxuan Sect appears in the state, it will be almost impossible for the state government to gain strength.

This is also a common problem in Xuanyang.

If Zeng Shun was killed for this reason, most of the prefects in Xuanyang should also be beheaded.

This is also the reason why Li Chengyuan wants to rectify the martial arts world. It is time to change the situation where the people only know about the sects but not the court.

Bai Yuan: "It's okay, thank you for your help."

Zeng Shun was a little unsure to see that the notorious Lord Bai was so gentle, so he said, "I'll take my leave first."

He left the provincial government in a hurry.

Zeng Shun first returned to his mansion and then never went out again.

another side.

Tianxuan Sect, secret room.

Sect leader Linghu Yang was standing in the secret room with his hands behind his back, and in front of him was Lingzhou prefect Zeng Shun.

Yes, there is a secret passage in Zeng Shun’s house that leads directly to the Tianxuan Sect.

This shows how close the relationship between the two sides is.

Zeng Shun told Linghu Yang everything Bai Yuan said in the provincial government office.

"well done."

Linghu Yang nodded with satisfaction.

In addition to his official identity, Zeng Zhizhou was actually a poor scholar whom he sponsored in his early years.

In fact, in addition to the Tianxuan Sect, many major sects do this.

In this way, spies can be placed in the court seamlessly.

There were a lot of voices in the court opposing the cleansing of the martial arts world, and a large part of the reason was because of officials from such backgrounds, whose future was closely tied to their sects.

Of course, this is not entirely the officials' fault.

In the final analysis, it was the co-governance of Xuanyang and the sects that was established by Emperor Taizu from the beginning that had already doomed the current situation.

"I will have to trouble you again later, Master Zeng."

Zeng Shun smiled again and again: "It's my duty, it's my duty."

Linghu Yang waved his hand and said, "Master Zeng, it is not appropriate for us to stay too long. Please go back first."

Zeng Shun nodded and left Tianxuan Sect through the secret passage.

He was tied too tightly to the Tianxuan Sect, so there was no possibility of him stopping. Otherwise, with Linghu Yang's cold-blooded methods, he would definitely kill him with a single slap.

Is it so easy to get the money from Tianxuan Sect?

However, Zeng Shun does not regret his previous decision.

If the Tianxuan Sect had not intervened, he would probably be at most a prefect now, and it would be impossible for him to become a state governor.

Confucianism is different from the other two schools in that it is closely related to destiny.

Only with good luck can you break through like a fish in water.

The fact that he was able to break through perception and live for two hundred years was closely related to Xuan Yang's powerful destiny.

late at night.

A candlelight, a silhouette.

Bai Yuan sat in front of the window and flipped through the book seriously. Zeng Shun was indeed very reliable, and the information about Tianxuan Sect was even more detailed than the intelligence he had obtained.

The Tianxuan Sect is indeed worthy of being the number one sect in the north.

It was once a sect that could compete with other major sects such as the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but it has become declining now. However, it should not be underestimated.

The current sect leader Linghu Yang is also a top master among Mingxin.

The corners of Bai Yuan's mouth raised slightly.

call!
Suddenly, the candle went out.

The sound of flipping pages stopped, and the room fell into deathly silence.

If someone could walk into the house, they would definitely find that Bai Yuan had disappeared long ago.

However, given Bai Yuan’s current status, even Zeng Shun might not have the courage to come in and check.

Outside Lingzhou city.

A figure walked slowly on the official road.

This person is Bai Yuan!

On the official road, a horse galloped past, and in the quiet night, the sound of rapid horse hooves rang out, startling a flock of flying birds.

Xia Han, the deputy leader of the Tianxuan sect, rides a majestic and powerful horse.

He was ordered by the head of the Zhengyang Gate, Linghu Yang, to seek help from the great master Song.

Now that Bai Yuan has achieved a breakthrough in his mind, the Tianxuan Sect is under tremendous pressure.

The trees along the road were rapidly receding.

Xia Han's horse was extraordinary. Its speed did not slow down at all while galloping, but instead became faster and faster.

Call!
Suddenly, Xia Han tightened the reins, and the demon horse raised its front hooves high. If it weren't for his superb martial arts, he would have ended up falling off his horse.

someone!

Xia Han narrowed his eyes slightly.

At the end of the pitch-black official road, a figure slowly appeared.

If it were an ordinary person, it would of course be impossible to see things clearly in such a dark situation, but he was the Grand Master Mingxin, so he could see clearly.

Bai Yuan!

Xia Han's pupils shrank slightly, and his face was full of fear. He didn't expect to meet Bai Yuan here.

A sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Xia Han turned his horse around and left without a second thought.

Of course, the only reason Bai Yuan appeared here was to kill him. Given the relationship between the two, could it be possible that they were just reminiscing about the past?

The sound of horseshoes sounded again.

His horse was a top-grade demon horse, and even a grandmaster would find it difficult to catch up with it. He ran for his life in an attempt to get rid of Bai Yuan.

Since Bai Yuan was able to kill Jiumoshi, he has the ability to kill him.

Just as Xia Han had been riding his horse at full speed for who knows how long.

His head jerked up.

Then a man was seen walking down slowly from the sky with a leisurely attitude.

It was Bai Yuan.

Xia Han gritted his teeth and slowly uttered three words: "Tiyunzong!"

As the world's best lightness skill, he naturally understood how powerful this lightness skill was. Bai Yuan had obviously cultivated it to perfection, so he could walk in the air.

The official road he was taking was winding, and even if the demon horse was fast, it would still take time.

But Bai Yuan is very different. With the Tiyunzong on him, he can ignore obstacles and catch up with him easily.

There is no escape.

Xia Han's face turned gloomy.

He slowly dismounted and drew his long sword from his waist.

There are powerful people in the army who can achieve unity between man and horse, and their strength increases greatly after mounting a horse, but Xia Han comes from the underworld, so he can only exert his greatest combat power when he dismounts.

Soon, Bai Yuan appeared in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

"Why don't you run away?"

Xia Han's eyes were fierce: "Do you think that by killing Jiumoshi, you can kill me?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Bai Yuan slowly pulled out the bloody scimitar from his waist.

Xia Han's breathing rhythm gradually quickened.

The next moment, he took the lead in attacking Bai Yuan.

The long sword broke through the air and slashed straight towards Bai Yuan's crown. The powerful and heavy blow was unmatched in force.

A Mingxin strong man can shatter corpses and break mountains with a single blow. If this blow really lands on the head, the body will definitely not be intact.

But the strange thing was that Bai Yuan did not retreat or dodge, and took Xia Han's knife head-on.

when!
A deafening roar echoed in the mountains and forests.

Xia Han looked at Bai Yuan who was unharmed and took a breath.

What a terrible horizontal training!

He had fought with Bai Yuan before in Binzhou, so he already knew that Bai Yuan was proficient in horizontal training, but he did not expect that Bai Yuan's horizontal training could withstand his full-strength attack.

Horizontal training does not mean being indestructible, otherwise everyone in the world would practice horizontal training.

Obviously, Bai Yuan's strength was superior to his, so he could block his sword so easily.

Bai Yuan took Xia Han's kick head-on and his body suddenly jumped up.

He gave up the scimitar in his hand and changed it into a fist, almost sticking close to Xia Han and engaging in close combat with him.

He is proficient in the White Ape Breaking Mountain Technique and has the Dragon and Tiger Vajra Strength. His power in close combat is no less than those martial artists who specialize in this skill.

Xia Han used a long knife.

After Bai Yuan got close to him, he couldn't use his sword skills at all. He could only hold the handle of the sword with one hand and the back of the sword with the other hand and fight with the sword at close range.

It’s just that Bai Yuan’s leg skills and horizontal training skills were too terrifying, and his punches and kicks like a violent storm made it hard for him to breathe.

Xia Han felt more and more aggrieved the more he fought.

Almost every one of his moves was interrupted by Bai Yuan halfway through, and he had no ability to fight back at all.

Bai Yuan became more and more crazy as he fought.

He seemed like he would never get tired, and each move was more terrifying than the last.

Xia Han began to understand why Jiumoshi was beaten to death.

In the dark night, the two men fought their way up the mountain forest from the official road.

But in just a moment, a thousand moves were completed.

Of course, most of the time it was Xia Han who got beaten.

Grandmaster Mingxin is so difficult to kill. Even if Bai Yuan is stronger than Xia Han, it is still impossible to kill a grandmaster easily. He can only be worn down to death.

suddenly!

Golden light rose from Xia Han's feet, dazzlingly bright.

The next second, he actually took Bai Yuan's punch, turned around and ran towards the forest behind him.

A surprising scene appeared.

Xia Han actually ignored the terrain. The boulders, potholes, and even the cliffs became flat ground in front of him.

He looked at Bai Yuan, who he had instantly thrown away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he had no intention of fighting to the death with Bai Yuan from the beginning.

He had been deliberately leading Bai Yuan into the forest, and then used the Taoist secret treasure, the Hengxing Fu, to escape.

This rampant talisman was invented by the head of a certain generation of the Tianxuan Sect's Taoist sect.

As long as it is attached to your feet, you can move freely regardless of the terrain.

This is the importance of background.

If he was a martial artist from a small sect, how could he possibly get this kind of treasure that only a great master could have.

Although the Tianxuan Sect is now in decline, its accumulation over tens of thousands of years is still there, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Xia Han sneered repeatedly on his face.

He had long guessed that since Bai Yuan had attacked the disciple who had delivered the letter before, he would most likely attack him, so before he left, he specifically asked Linghu Yang for a horizontal talisman. Now it really worked, otherwise he might really lose his life here tonight.

But soon, his smile froze.

Bai Yuan was seen emitting dazzling golden light all over his body, and his speed was not slower than his at all! !

Xia Han was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

He used the method left by Grandmaster Tongshen. Even though it was impossible to completely match the speed of the Grandmaster, it was also not something that Master Mingxin could achieve. But Bai Yuan did it.

What kind of monster is this? ! !

He didn't dare to think any more and could only concentrate on running as fast as he could. As long as he could return to Tianxuan Sect, his life would be saved.

But a scene that made him even more horrified appeared.

Bai Yuan's speed increased again!

The distance between the two men was getting closer. It wouldn't be long before he was caught up and killed by Bai Yuan.
