Star Trace Gate

Chapter 669 Shake people

Late at night, Suzaku City, on the eighth floor of Moon Watching Pavilion.

The people who kept watch on New Year's Eve, the Minister of War Ruan Yin, the Vice Minister of Revenue Qin Ming, and the Vice Minister of Rites Wen An, were standing together in the meeting hall and whispering.

"Master Ruan, the Emperor is trapped in the secret realm of Gutan Sect. Do you have any good plan?" The white-haired Qin Ming asked softly.

"I don't have a shit." Lord Ruan turned his head to look at Wen An, and the first thing he said was "poetry": "You son of a bitch, Ren Ye is trapped in Gutan Sect. With such a big thing, why didn't you come to me first when you returned to Suzaku City? You have to make this old man unprepared. When Prime Minister Lin asks about it later, how do you want me to answer?!"

Although Lord Ruan's name doesn't sound masculine, he is actually an old man with a fiery temper. He has been in charge of the Ministry of War for many years and has many disciples. Even Fan Ming has to be respectful to him like an elementary school student when he sees him.

Ruan is 120 years old this year, with white hair and a thin body. He is not very noticeable in the crowd. But if you look at him carefully, you will find that he is energetic and full of vitality, especially his pair of sharp eagle-like eyes, which always make people feel afraid.

Of the three adults present, he was the only one wearing white.

Although Minister Wen worked in the Ministry of Rites, he remained silent in front of Ruan Yin even when she scolded him.

"You are wronging me, Mr. Ruan." Minister Wen said helplessly, "I just returned to Suzaku City and went to your house as soon as possible. But the people in your house said that a few people in white took you away and I don't know where you went to drink wine..."

"Bullshit! Those men in white from the Ministry of War came with me to discuss a high-quality star gate for the migration site, and you, a dog, actually falsely accused me of drinking and having sex!" Lies don't hurt, the truth is a sharp knife, and Lord Ruan rolled up his sleeves and was ready to take action on the spot.

"It was someone in your house who said that, not me..."

"brush!"

Just when Wen Shilang was in critical condition, a handsome man in red appeared and said in a cold voice: "You are disrespectful to the elderly and have damaged the dignity of the white-clad people. Ruan Yin will be fined three months' salary and is not allowed to drink."

The three of them were stunned. Ruan Yin glared at Minister Wen and said with a fist: "I accept the punishment...but the dean has also gone."

"...!"

Lin Xiang stood with his hands behind his back, slightly stunned: "Fine him double the amount, you go and notify them."

"I obey your command." Ruan Yin felt relieved immediately.

Minister Lin slowly glanced at the three people and went straight to the point: "Ren Ye is cheerful by nature and good at making friends. He went to Gutan Sect to find some friends, but he accidentally entered the fight between Wanxiang Sect and the Wall-Facing Man, and was trapped at the bottom of Gutan Lake. Ruan Yin, did Minister Wen tell you the details of the incident?"

"Minister Lin, Minister Wen has explained to me the rules of the Heavenly Dao in the secret realm of Gutan Sect, and also told me about Ren Ye's experience in the secret realm." Ruan Yin bowed slightly, clasped his fists and said, "I think that since the Wall-Facing Man already knows that Ren Ye is the inheritor of the Human Emperor, the fight for Gutan Sect is no longer a private matter between the Wanxiang Sect, the Bell Society, the Wall-Facing Man and other forces. I think that we, the Shousui people, should join in force and start to lay out the entire Gutan City."

After a brief pause, Minister Lin waved his hand and said, "We need to talk about the distant future, but not now. First, tell me about the current predicament and how to save people."

Before being called here, Lord Ruan had no mental plan, and he didn't even know the details of the matter. But now he was confident and said, "I think the fight for the Gutan Sect's secret realm lies in the control of the pass by the participating forces. This is the key. Since the Wanxiang Sect has agreed to let my Shousui people enter the secret realm, from now on, they must divide up all the unowned pass, and my military department will take over and send the fourth-rank downgraded to enter this place."

"Nine disciples of Wanxiang Sect died in the battle of Gutan Village. With these nine pass tickets given up, we can insert nine super-quality disciples to enter this place. If there are more Wanxiang Sect disciples who die later, we must also occupy the quota. I think that the fight for the secret realm of Gutan Sect is a conspiracy of the wall-facing people to arrange the migration area in the early stage. According to our previous inference, this may be related to the rules of the guide. Therefore, we must not let them succeed no matter what. This is a strategic defensive move."

Lin Xiang looked at him and said, "Nine people, staffing."

"Send seven fourth-grade guardians who are good at attacking large secret realms, and two Feng Shui masters." Lord Ruan replied after a moment of thought.

When Lin Xiang heard this, his expression eased a little: "Why do you need two Feng Shui masters?"

"According to the description of the Wanxiang Sect, there may be a forbidden area under this ancient pond that has been sealed for many years. This humble official infers that since it is a forbidden area, it cannot be easily entered, and if there is a formation in the forbidden area, using super brute force to break it may even put Ren Ye in danger. However, when this ancient sect chooses a forbidden area or a burial place, it must locate the location based on the terrain and observe the Feng Shui. Then, only a Feng Shui master may be able to find the weak points of the forbidden area or a living person. In this way, perhaps we can find the forbidden area quietly without a strong attack, and rescue Ren Ye. This method is also safer." Lord Ruan explained clearly.

Lin Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "The Gutan Sect is too old. Their Feng Shui and geomancy techniques are probably not something that a regular fourth-grade cultivator can see through at a glance."

Lord Ruan listened quietly without responding.

"According to your idea, I will give you half an hour to perfect the plan." Lin Xiang said concisely: "In half an hour, the eight fourth-rank officials will enter Gutan City with Minister Wen. After that, you will continue to select elite soldiers and generals and be ready to fill in at any time. As for the Feng Shui master, I will find someone else, and he will enter Gutan City before tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Yes!"

Lord Ruan clasped his fists.

"Minister Qin," Lin Xiang looked at the official from the Ministry of Revenue and said softly, "I will also give you half an hour. Go to the Treasure Pavilion and carefully select magic weapons that are suitable for displaying magic in water, and give them all to the eight people who entered the Gutan Sect first."

"Yes." The Minister of Revenue immediately stepped out to respond.

"Hurry up, let these people in before tomorrow morning." Lin Xiang glanced at Wen Shilang again and whispered, "You stay in Gutan City and communicate more with Wanxiang Sect. They are so stubborn about the secret realm of Gutan Sect and fight for it at all costs. There must be some unknown secrets, and they must not tell you the truth. Find a way to find out, don't be led by others."

"Yes!"

Minister Wen nodded immediately: "I'll make a note of it."

"Meeting dismissed."

Lin Xiang raised his hand and waved, and his figure disappeared instantly.

In the meeting hall, Minister Qin couldn't help but sigh: "Wall-Facing Man, Wall-Facing Man, why did you mess with that little ghost Ren Ye..."

"Why are you calling Ren a little bastard? Is it because he didn't give you a 30% discount VIP housing voucher?" Minister Wen asked as he walked.

Three breaths later, inside the study.

Lin Xiang's figure appeared, staring at Zhao Baicheng, whose face was ruddy. "Old man, are you going to drink wine?"

"?!"

Zhao Baicheng sat on the mat and denied it flatly, "Ruan Yin was disrespectful to his elders. He listened to music and drank with a bunch of white-clothed people. It was very disgusting. I went over and scolded them."

"hehe."

Lin Xiang sneered, not wanting to continue to dwell on this issue: "You go and find the Little Dragon Vein Heavenly Master, enter the secret realm of the Ancient Tan Sect to find the gate to the forbidden land. Then, the old guys in your academy will secretly look for the divine successor of the Wall-Facing Man."

His voice was extremely cold: "If you touch my disciple... you will pay the price."

"Well, that's great." Zhao Baicheng nodded slightly.

……

The bottom of the pond is the ancestral land.

Ren Ye and Master Chu were still listless, walking slowly in this "paradise" like old men. Although they had already taken the Yuan-boosting Pill, their condition was still worrying.

The previous battle was too fierce, causing the two's star cores to dry up, overdrawn, and their blood and energy to decrease sharply. This cannot be recovered in one or two hours, and they need to find a safe place quickly, take elixirs and carefully regulate their breathing, so that they can gradually "come back to life".

The two of them walked and stopped for more than an hour, but they were still in this maze-like paradise. The vegetation here was lush, with ancient trees and flowers everywhere. Although it looked like a flat plain with no mountains, the scenery was not bad, and one could get lost if not careful.

After walking for so long, Ren felt like his body was about to break apart. He panted and sat on a big rock, shaking his head and saying, "Rest, take a rest..."

"You are so young, and you have inherited the legacy of the Emperor, why are you so useless?" Master Chu walked over, foaming at the mouth, his eyes blurry: "Is it... is it the beautiful women in the world who ruined your body?"

"If you keep on talking, I'll lift the top of your head off!" Ren Ye felt dizzy and replied while looking at the scorching sun in the sky.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. This was clearly an ancestral land at the bottom of a pond that had been sealed for many years, but why was there a blue sky with white clouds and a blazing sun in the sky? Was it the result of some kind of formation?

What kind of formation could last for so long in the endless years and still be able to evolve all things in the sky? Isn't this too incredible? !

"Ok?"

At this moment, Master Chu suddenly stared at an ancient tree, his eyes blankly said: "Opportunity, opportunity has come...!"

"What opportunity?" Ren Ye asked with a frown.

"A great opportunity, a great opportunity has come!" Master Chu stared at the ancient tree and said, "I saw a coffin."

"Coffin?!" Ren Ye followed his gaze, but saw only a towering tree that was tens of meters tall. The trunk was as black as charcoal, with a diameter of about eight meters, and the branches were withered, looking very ugly.

He observed it carefully for a while, then panted and said, "Are you f*cking hallucinating?"

"Are you blind?! There is clearly a coffin in front of you, why can't you see it!" Master Chu suddenly came to life, wiped the foam from his mouth, and walked towards the ancient tree.

Ren Ye clearly didn't see anything, but he could feel a gust of cold wind blowing.

He couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end, raised his hand and cursed: "Fatty, don't mess with the things here. You don't want to live anymore, I still have bridal chamber duties to do...!"
