…

Inner City, the capital of the Dayu Kingdom, covers an area of ​​about twenty miles. Although it is not large compared to the cities of the Dayong Dynasty, for an island country with a population of less than 10 million, this is already their largest city.

The Imperial City located in the center is undoubtedly the most gorgeous and conspicuous existence. It is quite similar to the layout of the Forbidden City in Xu Junming's previous life, and it also reveals a bit of majesty.

Outside the imperial city, there are many gorgeous buildings with cornices and brackets, surrounded by green trees.

Among these gorgeous buildings, one is obviously taller and covers more space. Especially a pagoda-like attic, it is the tallest palace after the Imperial City.

As the distance grew closer, the words ‘Star-Zhaing Tower’ became clear.

On the highest floor of the attic of the Star Building, beside the open rosewood window, an old man wearing a gorgeous purple robe and a golden crown stood with his hands clasped, gazing out at the majestic imperial city in the mist and rain.

"Dong dong...!"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The old man raised his eyebrows.

"Come in."

A tall, thin middle-aged man with narrow eyes opened the door and walked in.

Seeing the old man standing beside the bed, the middle-aged man showed some respect on his face and walked over.

"father."

"What happened to the matter you were asked to investigate?" the old man said solemnly.

"There is no news yet."

The old man's brows furrowed for a moment, then he turned around and stared at the middle-aged man with his hawk-like eyes.

The latter instantly felt a strong pressure on himself, his body involuntarily bent down, and his face showed more respect.

"No news about all the family offerings?"

The middle-aged man nodded quickly.

"How can it be?"

"My child has sent letters to all the worshipers Feijian, but it seems like nothing has happened. Three days have passed, and no one has responded." After a pause, the man said cautiously, "Father, there is something fishy about this matter. Could it be the person in the palace?"

Are you dissatisfied with our Shen family?"

"he?"

There was a trace of disdain on the old man's face, "He has been immersed in the dream of immortality for a long time. Moreover, if it were not for the infant blood provided by our Shen family, he would still have the energy to enjoy it!"

"If it's not the king, then who in the Yu Kingdom can threaten our Shen family?"

The old man's face darkened slightly.

"Of course there is no such thing as the Great Yu Kingdom, but outside of the Great Yu Kingdom, there is a broader world of practice."

The middle-aged man looked startled and said quickly: "Father, you mean that the overseas cultivators of Dayu destroyed more than a hundred worshipers of our Shen family?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? All the cultivation sects in Dayu have been almost wiped out by us in recent years."

There was an uneasiness on the middle-aged man's face.

"Father, the person who can destroy our family must be a powerful practitioner or overseas force. We...!"

He turned to look at his son with a fearful face and said coldly.

"Why, are you scared?"

Faced with his father, who had brought his family to the top without anger and was becoming more and more dignified, the middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart and said quickly.

"Father, it's not that the child is scared. It's just that our Shen family has never suffered such a heavy blow since its establishment. More importantly, three days have passed since the first worshipper was killed, and we don't have any clues.

No."

"Therefore, from what I've seen, the enemy's strength must be extraordinary. For the family's sake, we should make preparations in advance."

The old man pondered for a moment.

"What do you think?"

"Building the plank road openly and secretly visiting Chen Cang. The king has always wanted to get involved in the business of 'Feiyun Pavilion'."

A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Feiyun Pavilion is the foundation for our Shen family's strength. If I give it to him, it will be difficult to get it back."

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and looked confident.

"Those who are strong in the spiritual world are respected. My father has a high level of cultivation, and the king relies heavily on his father. It is not difficult to get Feiyun Pavilion back. What's more important is that the enemy is hiding in the dark and his strength is unknown. Feiyun Pavilion It has become a hot potato, and if we throw it out at this time, it will lead to disaster."

The old man had a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, a green light flew from a distance, fell into the old man's hands, and turned into a green jade talisman.

Infiltrated by spiritual consciousness, a line of text is reflected in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Father, what's the matter?"

"The king invites me to come to the palace to discuss matters."

"Father, this is an opportunity."

The old man nodded.

"I will consider this matter. You can go down first."

A middle-aged man who understands his father's character does not dare to be verbose.

"My child, please leave."

"In troubled times, just stay at home. There is your third brother at Feiyun Pavilion."

"yes!"

The moment he bowed, a trace of ferocity appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"Third brother, third brother, that despicable bastard, what qualifications do you have to compete with me for the position of head of the family?"

Roaring and resentful in his heart, when he raised his head, he regained his obedience, took a few steps back, turned around, and walked out the door.

Looking at his back, the old man sighed secretly.

His eldest son was ambitious and talented, and was not an ideal heir to the family.

In contrast, he prefers the third son who is better qualified and thoughtful.

He shook his head and suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart for the time being.

Feiyun Pavilion encountered a catastrophe, and secret and mysterious enemies kept approaching. In addition, the king kept peeking at Feiyun Pavilion. Everything was complicated. For a while, he did not have much time to consider the issue of the next generation of the family head.

Crushing the magic talisman in his hand, the light flashed and his body disappeared instantly.

At the same time, a Taoist priest wearing a blue robe, holding a bamboo stick, riding an ox and leading a dog came to the city.

"Master, this place is really prosperous." Kui Niu's divine consciousness transmitted his voice.

The black dog quickly ran ahead, its huge size frightening pedestrians into giving way.

"Master Dog's mouth is full of tears. Master, let's go have a meal first, and then go clean up that shit Feiyunge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an emerald green bamboo pole came over.

Although he didn't exert much force, the black dog still felt a pain in his butt and almost screamed.

Turning around to look at his master's majestic appearance, Black Dog instantly lowered his eyebrows and sneered, saying with a sneer: "Business matters, business matters."

"Haha, you stupid dog. You have been with me for so long and you haven't even figured out my style of doing things. You are really stupid."

The black dog glared angrily.

"Silly cow, how dare you laugh at me."

Kui Niu curled his lips disdainfully.

"You are the one who is laughing at me, bite me if you can."

"I…!"

The black dog's face darkened instantly when he thought of the huge gap in cultivation between the two parties. He wanted to ask his master for help, but he was too embarrassed to speak now when he thought of the bamboo stick he had just received.

He turned his head and ran away.

"Damn Feiyunge, Mr. Dog will never let you go."

Kui Niu looked at its retreating back and vomited softly.

"Stupid dog!"

"Follow me!"

The sound coming from his back made Kui Niu tremble and take a step forward. The crowd around him dispersed involuntarily and followed him very quickly.

It didn't take long before they arrived outside a manor in the east of the city.

"You can't force your way into this place, come back."
