At this time, Cao Shaoyang's face showed excitement, but also a hint of expectation and anxiety.

Venerable Ji Shi, who was sitting on the other side, frowned and looked worried.

Facing Cao Shaoyang's inquiry, Xiao Zhi said calmly: "The Taixu lineage collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and harmed their fellow sects. They are no longer worthy of sitting in the imperial city. From now on, the imperial city should be controlled by my Yuxu lineage!

"

Venerable Ji Shi frowned and said: "Friend Taoist Taoist, this seems a little inappropriate. The Imperial City has always been controlled by Taixu's lineage. This is the usual practice."

Xiao Zhi just smiled when he heard this and asked, "Has the True Lord ever said that the Imperial City should be guarded by Taixu's lineage?"

"That's not true." Venerable Jishi shook his head.

"That's it." Xiao Zhi said: "The Imperial City of Dachang should be guarded by capable people, so that our Dachang Kingdom can prosper forever. Now, my Yuxu lineage is the strongest, so it is right that we should take over the imperial city and control the garrison.

county!"

While speaking, Xiao Zhi threw a small white jade bead that exuded colorful light to Cao Shaoyang and said: "The Imperial City Formation only suffered minor damage, and it won't take long to repair it. This is for you."

Cao Shaoyang hurriedly reached out to take it, his face couldn't help but show joy, and he thanked Xiao Zhi repeatedly.

The core of the Imperial City Formation has always been in the hands of Tai Xuzi. Among the remaining nine small cores, one belongs to the Qingxu lineage, one belongs to the Yuxu lineage, and there are seven remaining. Taixuzi gave three to

After killing his disciples and confidants, there were only four left. Tai Xuzi did not give them to anyone, but kept them himself.

He, Cao Shaoyang, has been the Taoist Master of Zhongchang for decades, and this is the first time he has come into contact with this small white jade bead that represents the core of the Imperial City Formation.

And this also means that Xiao Zhi did not burn bridges and kick him away after the deed was done, but regarded him as one of his own, so he gave him this white jade bead.

This made Cao Shaoyang feel happy and felt that he was following the right person.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, there is no need to thank me, you deserve this." Xiao Zhi said with a smile.

He looked at Venerable Ji Shi again, handed the real core of the Imperial City Formation that he was playing with to Venerable Ji Shi, and said: "Fellow Taoist Ji Shi, take this."

Seeing this scene, Venerable Ji Shi could not help but be a little surprised. He did not reach out to pick up the white jade ball that Xiao Zhi handed him, but frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "I shouldn't stay in the imperial city for a long time. Apart from me, in my Yuxu lineage, you are the only one with the strongest strength, fellow Daoist Ji Shi. Therefore, the important task of guarding the imperial city will ultimately be yours."

It still has to fall on you, fellow Daoist Ji Shi, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Venerable Ji Shi said nothing, just stared at Xiao Zhi.

Facing the gaze of Venerable Ji Shi, Xiao Zhi did not dodge, but looked at Venerable Ji Shi with a calm expression.

After looking at each other like this for more than ten seconds, Venerable Ji Shi withdrew his gaze, nodded at Xiao Zhi, and said: "Fellow Taoist Xiao has entrusted you with this important matter. I dare not refuse. In this case, from now on

, let me control this imperial city formation!"

Next to Xiao Zhi stood the invisible demon Li Kuo.

Seeing this scene, Demon Demon Li Kuo couldn't help but send a message to Xiao Zhi through his thoughts: "Master, this is the control core of the Imperial City Formation. You just handed it over to the Venerable Ji Shi. Isn't it too hasty?
