The Golden Scale Pavilion.
In the guest room waiting for an audience.
”Master, please wait a moment. Let me go up and inform that young master first.”
When he came to the door of the guest room where Xu Taiping was, the steward of the Nether Cloud Mansion carefully ask ed the master of the Qiu Mansion beside him.
Although he had confidence in his own people, there was always a chance of something going wrong in everything, so he wanted to go up and check first.
If something really went wrong, he could also respond in advance.
”Go ahead.”
The master of the Qiu Mansion nodded.
He also felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for him to go in so abruptly.
Upon hearing this, the deacon’s heart relaxed, and then he quickly stepped forward and reached out to knock on the door with a “bang bang”.
”Young Master Xu, it’s your turn to meet the Mansion Master.”
The deacon opened his mouth and asked towards the room.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response from the room.
The Mansion Master Qiu Shanyuan immediately furrowed his brows and was slightly displeased, feeling that this cultivator from True Martial Heaven was a bit impolite.
But after seeing that there was no response from the room, the deacon was overjoyed in his heart.
Because this meant that the cultivator from True Martial Heaven in the room had already been taken away by their people.
As for how he would explain to the Mansion Master behind him after the person was taken away, it was simple.
”Mansion Master, there should be no one in the room. It may be a cultivator who is an impostor. Because he was worried about being seen through by you, he slipped away in advance.”
The deacon said with a hint of “anger” on his face.
”Open the door and take a look.”
Qiu Shanyuan still insisted that the deacon open the door.
”Yes.”
The deacon was completely calm at this time.
There has been no movement inside until now. In his opinion, there is only one possibility – our people have succeeded.
”Creak…”
So the deacon used some strength and pushed the door open for the first time.
But the moment the door was opened, he was completely stunned, because what greeted his eyes was a room full of blood and gore, with severed arms and legs everywhere on the ground.
”These bastards, why didn’t they clean up properly before leaving！”
The deacon cursed in his heart.
But even so, as long as the cultivator in the room was dead, he still had a way to deceive the mansion master behind him.
After all, they had seen no less than a thousand or several hundred such vendettas involving the Golden Scale Society in recent years.
But when his gaze carefully swept around the room for a circle, he suddenly felt a burst of scalp-numbing.
Because he discovered that the severed arms and legs in this room did not come from that True Martial Heaven cultivator, but from their own people！
And that True Martial Heaven cultivator was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, holding several array flags in his hand.
”Why is there such a strong bloody smell there？”
Qiu Shanyuan’s somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded behind the deacon.
At the same time, there was also the violent fluctuation of the breath on Mansion Master Qiu’s body, like a surging sea.
At the same time, Xu Taiping, who was drinking tea in the room, also put down the cup and raised his hand to greet the deacon：
”Is it my turn, sir？”
Seeing this, the deacon didn’t hesitate at all. He quickly pinched a Taoist seal in his hand and then suddenly opened his mouth and said：
”Lord Prefecture, step back. This child is transformed by a Monster . Let me eliminate him！”
As soon as the voice fell, a small cyan sword suddenly spat out from the mouth of this deacon, and with a “swish” sound, it broke through the air and stabbed at Xu Taiping.
”Bang！”
But to the astonishment of the deacon, Xu Taiping, who was stabbed by the flying sword, just turned into a cloud of cyan vapor and dissipated.
Before he could figure out what exactly had happened, a fist shadow heavily smashed into his chest, causing his whole body to “bang” and fly backwards.
However, when his body passed by the Prefecture Lord Qiu Shanyuan, an invisible force, like a big hand, “bang” pressed the deacon firmly on the ground.
Then, I saw that Prefecture Lord Qiu Shanyuan first looked at the motionless deacon on the ground, and then looked at Xu Taiping standing at the door and said：
”This little brother, can you explain what exactly is going on？”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping carefully looked at Qiu Shanyuan and then asked：
”Are you the Prefecture Lord Qiu？”
”It’s me.” Qiu Shanyuan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping smiled helplessly and said：
”I still wanted to ask you why the people of your Youyun Prefecture poisoned my tea and also arranged for an assassin in the west position to prepare to assassinate me in the room.”
Upon hearing these words, the expression on Qiu Shanyuan’s face suddenly turned cold. Then he turned his head to look at that deacon and said with a disappointed look：
“You also got involved in this matter？”
Upon hearing this, a resolute look immediately emerged on the deacon’s face, and then he gritted his teeth hard.
Then came the sound of ‘bang’, and the deacon’s head, like that of the young cultivator before, burst open with a loud crash.
Seeing this scene, the face of the head of the Qiu Mansion turned by Tieqing. The deacon’s self-destruction undoubtedly confirmed the guess in his heart.
“Head of the Qiu Mansion, can you tell this junior what exactly is going on？”
Seeing the expression on Qiu Shanyuan’s face at this moment, Xu Taiping seemed to know something, so he asked again.
“Show me your Golden Scale Seal.”
Qiu Shanyuan did not answer but raised his eyes to look at Xu Taiping and stretched out his hand to him and said.
Xu Taiping took out the token that Sparrow had given him before and a small seal as a token.
However, he did not hand it over to Qiu Shanyuan but held it vigilantly in his hand.
Qiu Shanyuan didn’t say much. He just took a distant look and then withdrew his hand and nodded and said：
“Come with me to the Golden Scale Hall. Whether this matter is targeted at you or not, as long as you enter the Golden Scale List, no one dares to hurt you, not even those idiots in the imperial family.”
Upon hearing these words, Xu Taiping’s heart shuddered.
Although Mansion Master Qiu didn’t make it clear, he implicitly pointed the finger at the imperial family of the Chu Kingdom as the instigator behind the scenes.
And from the tone of his words, it could also be seen that he was also very dissatisfied with this matter, but due to the limitations of his position and duties, he couldn’t interfere either.
“Thank you, Mansion Master Qiu, for the reminder.”
Xu Taiping thanked Qiu Shanyuan, and then followed closely behind him, quickly walking towards the Golden Scale Hall.
……
At the same time.
In the True Martial Heaven, at the Azure Mysterious Sect.
In the backyard bamboo forest of the ashram of Dugu Qingxiao, the second senior brother of the Seven Peaks.
“Second senior brother, these are already the last few days for the Golden Scale Assembly to enter the list, and little junior brother’s name hasn’t appeared on the list yet. Could it be that there is a problem with this spirit mirror of yours？”
Zhao Linglong supported her chin with both hands and looked at Dugu Qingxiao, who was strolling and chatting with Ziyan in the bamboo forest, with a looking uncertain.
Impossible. This is a spirit mirror that Huangque brought from the Nine Mansions and is specifically used to watch the battles of this Golden Scale Assembly. There are only three such mirrors in the entire True Martial Heaven.”
Dugu Qingxiao shook his head and said.
“Then this is strange. Could it be that little junior brother…”
A very bad premonition suddenly welled up in Zhao Linglong’s heart.
