Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 129

Because of the last time Chen Xi killed Su Feiyun, the Star Condensation Courtyard was already inextricably linked to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect.

From a larger point of view, both the Gathering Shang Academy and the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect had lost both their pride and honor.

The relationship between An Zhe and Zhuang Feifei had also undergone a subtle change, especially after Zhuang Feifei, the elder sister of the Awakening Sect’s Zhuang family, paid his respects to the dead Golden Mountain Road.

This was why An Zhe had unrestrainedly found a Gold-grade magic item for Skinny Du. It could also be called a fallen purple grade divine tool.

The country of the red-furred devil that An Zeng spoke of was actually called O’Shaman.

The emperor of the Oshaman Empire called himself the Sovereign of the Seas, claiming that his ancestors were gods who controlled the sea.

The Sovereign of the Seas’ trident was the symbol of the Emperor of the Oshaman Empire.

However, after a general of the Oshaman Empire rebelled several decades ago, the emperor was killed, and the imperial clan was not exterminated. The damaged trident of the Sovereign of the Seas vanished without a trace.

Skinny Du immediately picked up the Sovereign of the Seas’ trident and flipped it over. His face was filled with joy.

An Zhan pursed his lips, “”Just now, I was throwing it on the ground.””

“”What’s wrong? I’m such a vain man,”” said Du.

“”I just like you to be so real.””

“”I love you too.””

At this moment, the cat that had been lying on the chair like it had fallen asleep suddenly opened its eyes. The densely packed stars in its eyes began to slowly spin.

No matter how close he was with Zhuang Feifei, he did not dare to let Zhuang Feifei know that his eyes were only in the Nine Revolving Core realm.

He believed that Zhuang Feifei wouldn’t do that, but once the news got out, all of the cultivators in the Yan Kingdom would go crazy.

And the good sir hadn’t fully awakened yet. At that time, he might very well die at the hands of those greedy cultivators.

He picked the Kindness up, pretending not to notice, and went to the rail and looked down.

The good man’s little head popped out of his arms and looked down as if searching for something.

Naturally, Zhuang Fei Fei Fei would not have expected that the famous Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Eye would be reborn in the body of a cat.

There was a commotion in the hall below, followed by a group of Imperial Guards breaking in from the outside, splitting up the people in the hall into two groups and driving them away.

Li Changlu, the Chief Eunuch of the Embroidery Palace, had a humble expression as he walked in from the outside with a person in violet clothes.

Zhuang Feifei walked to the side of the feud, snorting at Li Changlu’s lackey’s expression. “”That’s a real dog, not just wagging his tail at the empress dowager, but wagging his tail at any important personage.””

And to anyone who was inferior to him, he would grit his teeth. “”

“”Who is that person?””

Anjou asked.

Zhuang Feifei looked at the man in the purple official uniform and said, “”One of You Country’s Duke Tan Song, the younger brother of You King Tan Po.””

Because of the Da Xi Empire, no one dared to call themselves emperors, and they could only call themselves kings.

Thus, although Tan Song was Tan Zhi’s younger brother, the highest title could only be given to a duke.

No matter what, the fear of the Da Xi caused all the countries to be cautious on the surface. “”

An Zaixin said, “”Didn’t they say that Empress Dowager Su has always been tyrannical towards Youguo? Why is it that her dog bowed and bowed to her as well?””

Zhuang Fei Fei Fei said, “”The team from You Country came this time because they had made meticulous preparations.

Knowing that Li Changlu was the empress dowager’s favorite, of course she would give him a lot of benefits.

“”If a person takes too many benefits, it’s just like a dog getting too many meat bones, and it changes from baring its teeth to wagging its tail.””

He looked down at the cat.

The good sir kept his eyes fixed on the purple-robed county prince, guessing that this person must be carrying some sort of extraordinary object.

And then, An Zaiyue discovered that the Demon Binding Cloth he had collected earlier also seemed to be getting restless.

An Zaixin said that the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Eye and the Demon Binding Cloth had worked together countless times to fight side by side in those eerie and terrifying tombs.

Thus, there must be some sort of telepathic connection between the good lord and the Demon Binding Cloth.

The good sir stared intently at the county prince. The Demon Binding Cloth could feel the aura of the Nine Revolving Reincarnation Eye, which was why it was starting to get restless.

An Zhan hurriedly used his Blood Training Pearl bracelet to put away the Demon Binding Cloth. If the Demon Binding Cloth rushed out and wrapped around the Duke himself, then that would be great fun.

Zhuang Feifei said, “”I’ll go down and take a look. After all, I can’t do things that are shameful.””

You just wait here. I’ll arrange for the food to be served later, so you can stay in the market and don’t go back.

“”Maybe something good will come out in a while. I’m counting on you to make a scene.”” “”Yeah,”” I said. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

An Xuan said, “”Go, be careful. That Tan Song looks a little strange.””

Zhuang Fei Fei smiled, “”He’s here to seek peace, so what if he’s a princess? In the Yan Country’s Fang Gu City, no matter how domineering he is, he has to endure it.””

An Zeng shook his head, feeling that Tan Song looked very strange.

Li Changlu accompanied Tan Song directly through the hall on the first floor and into the backyard, followed by Zhuang Feifei and the manager, Zhang Yifu.

An Xuan opened the window and looked outside. The main street was completely sealed off. The first floor was the Yan Kingdom’s city defense army, and the second floor was the Imperial Army. That small circle of men in black standing inside the Imperial Army should be Tan Song’s personal bodyguards.

This person should be very confident. He walked into the market alone and did not bring any of his trusted aides with him.

What was even more bizarre was that the county governor did not even glance at the red-robed cleric in the hall.

“”Lord Fatty.””

“”You stay here and keep an eye on me. I’m going out to do something.””

“”What are you going to do?””

An Zeng looked at Xiao Qi, who had fallen asleep on the chair after eating her fill. “”Right now, all of your attention is on the Nether Realm’s diplomatic mission. No one will notice me.””

“”I have to think of a way to get close to the Heavenly Prison. It’s best if I can take advantage of this opportunity to meet Aunty Ye and make her feel at ease.””

Skinny Du nodded his head. “”Then be careful.””

An Zhan handed the good lord over to thin Du, “”Hold him tight. No matter what the good lord looks at, you can’t let him pounce on you.””

Dean replied: “”Don’t worry.””

An Zhe walked out of the main gate of the courtyard. The Youlan Kingdom cultivators guarding outside gave him a glance, but didn’t intervene.

After a brief examination, the Imperial Army left the street.

In order to prevent others from noticing him, An Zaihai fought his way back to the sect.

After sitting quietly in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect for half an hour to recuperate, he climbed over the back wall and approached the Heavenly Temple.

The so-called Heavenly Prison was actually not mysterious at all.

According to the rules of the Yan Kingdom, the prison was filled with prisoners with special identities.

On the outside of the prison, the members of the Board of Justice were in charge of the guard, while the guards of the palace were on duty from time to time.

As he walked, An Zhe tried hard to recall the investigations he had done these days. Eventually, he locked his target onto a single person.

The Heavenly Temple’s physician, Zhuge Liuyun.

The reason why he had chosen this person was because this person had access to two secrets.

These two secrets were closely related to the struggle for peace.

The first secret, because Ye Yun was special, every once in a while, Mu Changyan would let Zhuge Liuyun enter the Sky Prison to diagnose her pulse and confirm that she wasn’t injured.

As for the other thing … it was very important to An Zaiyue. An Zaiyue had found out that Zhuge Liuyun had been with him ever since the Great Xi Prince Chen Chong came.

Of course, there were no shortage of doctors by Chen Zhong’s side. However, Yan Guo naturally couldn’t let down his guard.

Most importantly, Zhuge Liuyun probably knew about what had happened after he was killed.

It was because Zhuge Liuyun examined his corpse.

What was strange was that up until now, almost all the people who had been implicated in the dispute were dead. Zhuge Liuyun was a special case.

A few days ago, when Li Yenian, the Minister of Tranquility and the Minister of Rites, had been drinking, Li Yenian had told him some of the things he had remembered.

At that time, Li Yannian was responsible for receiving the heavy equipment, so he knew that Zhuge Liuyun had been following the heavy equipment.

Zhuge Liuyun only returned to Empyrean Terminus Palace some time after the disappearance of the heavy weapons. Li Yannian speculated that Zhuge Liuyun was the only one who saw the departure of the heavy weapons with his own eyes.

Chen Chong’s purpose in coming to Yan Country was not to mediate the war between the sixteen kingdoms, but to fight for peace and security.

Therefore, even if Chen Chong left, he would only leave after he was certain that An Zaiyue was dead.

Anjou understands the nature of heavy weapons, cautious, careful, and paranoid.

He would definitely not appear in front of An Zaiyue before he was sure that An Zaiyue was dead, nor would he let anyone he knew appear. Therefore, Zhuge Liuyun became the best choice.

Regardless of the relationship between Zhuge Liuyun and Chen Xinjie, the fact that this person was still alive showed how important he was.

An He had considered a few schemes that were close to Zhuge Liuyun’s, but he couldn’t be sure because of one thing … Zhuge Liuyun was alive because of his medical skills, or because of his cultivation level?

If it was because Zhuge Liuyun was so powerful that others didn’t dare to kill him … then using his current strength, if he went to find Zhuge Liuyun, he would only be seeking his own death.

He decided to keep an eye on Zhuge Liuyun first and explore the way first. If there was a chance, he would go and leave.

Zhuang Feifei was arranging for the county prince to appraise the good items in the courtyard. Judging from the situation, the good show wouldn’t start until the afternoon before dinner, so they had plenty of time to settle down.

Zhuge was usually living in Empyrean Terminus Palace, so he rarely came out to visit.

His home wasn’t far from Heavenly Temple as well, and just happened to be between Heavenly Prison and Heavenly Temple.

An Xin thought about it. Back then, Mu Changyan had given Zhuge Liuyun such a mansion for Aunty Ye’s sake.

The security in the prison was as tight as the clouds. An Zhan clearly knew that with his current strength, he had no chance to get close to Ye Zichen at all.

Therefore, he decided to check Zhuge Liuyun’s house first. If Zhuge Liuyun wasn’t here, he could go in and investigate.

An Xin went to a teahouse opposite Zhuge Liuyun’s home and went up to the third floor, which overlooked that small courtyard.

Zhuge Liuyun’s yard seemed to have been planted with a lot of herbs, and the small courtyard was filled with neat rows of rows.

Even though he was sitting on the third floor of this teahouse, he could still smell the faint aroma of medicine.

Zhuge Liuyun had moved here for less than four years, so those herbs should not be anything valuable.

All medicinal herbs required a long period of time to grow.

An Xuan sat on the third floor of the teahouse for an hour. There was no one coming or going in or out of the courtyard, so An Xuan decided to settle the bill and pretended to stroll to the back of the courtyard.

The buildings in Fanggu City were all well-behaved, with small alleys behind each row of houses.

An Zeng strolled around the alley for a while, but didn’t find anyone. He then flipped over from the back.

The small courtyard was divided into the front and the back. From the teahouse, An Zhe could only see the front courtyard and the back courtyard.

Therefore, when he came in, he was especially careful not to let anyone notice him.

However, An Zhe realized that his worries were unnecessary. There was no one in the backyard.

Apart from herbs, there were also herbs.

However, compared to the front yard, the herbs grown in this small back yard seemed a little strange.

It was not a species with straight ridges, but rather a strange pattern that was deliberately arranged in a row.

An Zaiyue didn’t care about the herbs, nor did he dare to waste any time, so he quickened his pace and headed towards the house.

He had only taken five steps when An Zhe screamed in his heart, “”This is bad!””

There was something wrong with these seemingly ordinary herbs!

At the moment when An Zhe fell down, he finally understood that Zhuge Liuyun didn’t grow these herbs to cure his illness, but to catch the thief … .Strange fragrance, strange patterns, strange herbs, An Zhe’s vision blurred. No matter how he tried to control his cultivation, he was already finished.

The moment he fell down, he saw a figure running towards him.

Then he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
