Travel through the heavens

Xiao Se frowned and pondered for a long time, then slowly asked, "Where is that scroll now?"

Ji Xue shook her head: "I don't know. Eunuch Zhuoqing hid the scroll, and even his fellow apprentices didn't know about it. After he died, no one knew about it anymore."

Xiao Se asked again: "How did Zhuo Qing die?"

Ji Xue said slowly: "After Zhuoqing and my father fought, they were both seriously injured, and he sneaked back to the imperial mausoleum. The next day, Emperor Mingde went to the imperial mausoleum, and then Zhuoqing died of illness. I guess Emperor Mingde couldn't sit still anymore. He lost his closest brother and exiled his most beloved prince. Zhuoqing, who caused all this, should pay his price."

Xiao Se's eyes flickered. "With Zhuo Qing's temper, he will definitely not give up. He will definitely make arrangements before he dies. I think the scroll should have been handed over to someone."

Ji Xue nodded: "In fact, I had a guess before. Jin Xuan is Zhuo Qing's most valued disciple. He is also the head of the Five Great Supervisors. He is in a high position and has great power. The scroll is very likely to have fallen into his hands."

Having said that, Ji Xue's gaze quietly passed over Fang Muye. After all, Jin Xuan had just died at the hands of Fang Muye. Even if the scroll was really in his hands, the clue was now broken.

Xiao Se was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "That scroll is very important, and needs to be carefully checked."

"Okay." Ji Xue agreed readily, and then complained: "Xiao Chuhe, you should have come to us as soon as you came back. You know that we at Bai Xiao Tang can be of great help to you, but you just didn't come. We couldn't come to you for fear of disrupting your plans."

Xiao Se returned to his lazy look again: "Actually, I don't have any plans. It's just that the time has not come yet. But if you are afraid of disrupting my plans, why did you come tonight?"

"Why?" Ji Xue sneered: "Do you think I came to Tianqi just to be the head of Bai Xiaotang?"

After saying this, Ji Xue took out an exquisite golden token from her waist and held it up.

Xiao Se was slightly surprised when he saw the token.

Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo and Tang Lian were also shocked, because they each had an identical token, but on their tokens there was a green dragon rising into the clouds, a red bird soaring with its wings spread, and a black tortoise surrounded by a turtle and a snake, while on Ji Xue's token there was a white tiger roaring towards the sky.

Lei Wujie pointed at the token and shouted excitedly: "Oh, it's all complete."

Yes, they are indeed all gathered together.

In the east, there is the Azure Dragon and thunder without hindrance.

In the south is the Vermillion Bird, and in the south is Sikong Qianluo.

The White Tiger in the west is Ji Xue.

The north position is Xuanwu and Tanglian.

The four descendants of the Four Guardians of Apocalypse have finally all appeared and gathered around the heir to the throne chosen by the previous four guardians.

Ji Xue said proudly: "I came to Tianqi as one of the four guardians of Tianqi, the White Tiger, and the Western Position. I will help you ascend to the throne of the dragon."

Xiao Se didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he had no interest in that position at all.

Ji Xue added: "I came to your house this time and brought two pieces of news."

"What news?" Xiao Se asked.

Ji Xue said: "The first news is that Dark River has appeared in the world, but it has become an ordinary martial arts sect and has declared that it will no longer engage in the business of killing people. However, before that, Dark River seemed to have experienced another internal conflict, which was eventually quelled by the head of the family, Su Muyu."

The reason why I say again is because many years ago, a rebellion broke out in Dark River, which resulted in the deaths of many masters in Dark River, and the strength of Dark River was much weaker than in its peak period.

After hearing the news, everyone immediately looked at Fang Muye. They more or less guessed that An He's sudden change of identity and appearance in the world should have something to do with Fang Muye.

Fang Muye smiled slightly, and was happy for Su Muyu in his heart. He had finally led the Dark River towards the light through his own efforts.

Su Muyu once said that "Su Xingye" was the person in Dark River who was most reluctant to be a killer. In fact, there were more than one person in Dark River who was unwilling to be a killer. If given a choice, who would be born to be a killer?

Xiao Se said lazily: "This message does not interfere with Tianqi. I think the second message is what you really want to say."

Ji Xue nodded, her expression suddenly becoming a little serious: "As for the second piece of news, it is that Luo Qingyang has left Muliang City."

Xiao Se frowned: "Luo Qingyang left the city?"

"Yes, two days ago, a carrier eagle landed in Muliang City, and then Luo Qingyang left the city and headed towards Tianqi." Ji Xue said.

Tang Lian looked solemn and said, "With Lone Sword Immortal's speed, he should be able to reach Tianqi City soon."

Ye Ruoyi looked at Xiao Se: "Luo Qingyang is the adopted father of the Red King. The Red King must have asked him to come."

Xiao Se thought for a moment and said, "Luo Qingyang is a proud person by nature. He will not easily obey the orders of the Red King. The Red King must have used some reason to make him come to Tianqi."

Lei Wujie said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just Luo Qingyang? There's nothing to worry about. He is ranked below my master on the top list. If he dares to provoke us, my master will definitely teach him a lesson." As he said that, he looked at Fang Muye with admiration on his face and a silly smile.

Fang Muye knocked on Lei Wujie's head and said with a smile: "Although I can beat Luo Qingyang, you can't beat him. Why are you so arrogant?"

Lei Wujie rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, isn't this the confidence that Master gave me?"

Seeing his expression, Ye Ruoyi and the others immediately laughed.

Ji Xue suddenly said: "Calculating the time, the letter from the Red King should have been sent after the announcement of the Golden List."

Lei Wujie immediately shouted, "Did Luo Qingyang come to challenge my master because he saw that his ranking on the Champion Ranking was higher than his?"

Xiao Se glanced at Lei Wujie as if he was looking at a fool, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "According to my guess, Luo Qingyang came to Tianqi this time most likely to take someone away to keep him away from the storm that is about to come to Tianqi."

"Who is he going to take away?" Sikong Qianluo asked.

Xiao Se replied, "Prince Chi's biological mother, Empress Xuan."

"Empress Xuan?" Sikong Qianluo, Lei Wujie and others were puzzled.

Xiao Se paused and explained, "The father of Concubine Xuan was Yi Bu, who was the leader of the Xiao royal family's secret guard shadow sect. Luo Qingyang was Yi Bu's most outstanding disciple. Later, he became the late emperor's personal guard and saved the late emperor many times. In recognition of his achievements, the late emperor gave him a city before his death. Luo Qingyang chose the most desolate Muliang City in the west. It is said that he wanted to practice his desolate sword."

Lei Wujie frowned slightly: "Sad Sword?"

"Yes, it's very miserable. He was born without a father or a mother, and all his fellow disciples died. The person he liked got married twice, but both times he had no relationship with her. Do you think such a person is miserable?" Xiao Se asked back.

Ji Xue took over the conversation and said, "There are some rumors in the martial arts world that Luo Qingyang is deeply in love with his junior sister Yi Wenjun, but unfortunately, he is unfeeling. Concubine Xuan remarried twice and did not choose him."

Xiao Se nodded, then shook his head: "Actually, what I want to say is that Luo Qingyang once said that he would not leave the city until his sword was perfected. Now that he has left the city, his Desolate Sword must have been perfected. Many years ago, he was the leader of the five great sword immortals, and his realm had already reached the half-step divine wandering realm. Now that his sword is perfected, I'm afraid he is only half a step away from the divine wandering realm, or even has broken through." As he said that, he looked at Fang Muye, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"It's okay. Even if you enter a state of trance, there is still a difference between different trances." Fang Muye smiled, turned to look at Ji Xue, and said, "Miss Ji, I have a favor to ask of you."

Ji Xue was stunned: "Mr. Fang, please speak."

Fang Muye said: "Fang would like to ask Bai Xiaotang to help find someone."

Ji Xue asked: "Who?"

Fang Muye glanced at Ming Hou and Yue Ji, who had been silent, and whispered a name: "Old Man Tianquan."
