Chapter 45 The Secret Paradise Is Closed

Anping Mansion, Liu Family.

In the dark room, Liu Chengxiong was shrouded in darkness. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly spoke.

"How long will it take for the secret blessed land to open again?"

"According to the master, there are still three days." The butler who served beside him spoke respectfully.

Liu Chengxiong asked again: "Is there any movement from the mansion master?"

The butler replied: "The mansion master has been staying in the government office and has not made any movement."

"What about the people from the Six Gates and the Thousand Households?"

"The people from the Six Gates are as calm as ever, without any movement." The butler thought for a while and replied, and seemed to think of something, saying: "It seems that a centurion from the Thousand Households went to the Western Capital yesterday on the orders of the Thousand Households. I don't know what happened."

He reported the recent whereabouts of the two forces one by one.

Liu Chengxiong frowned when he heard this.

People from the Thousand Households generally don't make big moves. Those who can hold the position of a centurion are at least fifth-grade warriors. Now is not the time to report their duties. Suddenly going to the Western Capital seems a bit abnormal.

"You still send people to pay attention to those two places, but the most important thing is to see what the Lord of the Palace does. If there is any movement, send someone to report it immediately." Liu Chengxiong ordered.

"Yes!"

The housekeeper bowed and prepared to leave.

"By the way, tell the two elders to be ready. After the secret blessed land is opened, one will follow me and the other will go to pick up Ruilong and others. It must be foolproof." Liu Chengxiong ordered.

At this time, Liu Chengxiong did not know what happened in the secret blessed land. He believed that Liu Ruilong, who had a magic weapon in his hand, and Yuwen Bao, a master of the Vajra Gate, had a good chance of seizing the rare object.

However, even so, he was still prepared to let a fourth-grade elder to pick them up. If the rare object was seized, he would escort it out. If it was seized by others, with a fourth-grade elder in charge, he would definitely be able to snatch the rare object again.

As for himself, he and another fourth-grade elder would personally lead a team of people to ambush the people sent by the Lord of the Palace.

After all, he had not forgotten what the Lord of the Palace had intervened before. Although he could not kill the Lord of the Palace, he could still cut off the other party's wings and give the Lord of the Palace a little revenge.

Moreover, this time, it was not the Liu family that took action.

"Yes, Master."

The housekeeper agreed and slowly retreated.

In the government office, Gu Ji was not as calm as outsiders thought.

For this secret land plan, he paid a lot of price for it. Just training those masters who could enter the secret land cost a lot of resources.

Later, he offended the Liu family and the Shen's Chamber of Commerce for Pei Xuanjing.

He didn't care about these two forces, but the other party would not be too afraid of him. They were afraid of the status of the Lord of the Palace, not Gu Ji.

Now, the secret land is about to open again, and everything inside has been settled. Next, we have to see who is better.

If he wins, he will get an extremely rich reward.

If he loses, he will not only not be promoted, but even his current position as the prefectural master may not be secure.

At the same time, some people from all sides of Anping Prefecture are closely watching the actions of the surrounding forces. The entire Anping Prefecture is in a calm before the storm.

Compared with the naked killings in the secret blessed land, the struggles of the various forces in Anping Prefecture outside the secret blessed land are more obscure.

Pei Xuanjing did not know that Anping Prefecture is now like a powder keg, just waiting for the secret blessed land to be opened again to ignite it.

He is now saying goodbye to four young people, two men and two women.

"Brother Changsheng, we will stop here today. When you go out in the future, if you have the opportunity, Brother Changsheng must come to my Four Symbols Sect to sit down." Taiyang Jianzi said to Pei Xuanjing with a smile.

Shaoyang Jianzi on the side also agreed, "I'm sure the elders in the sect will be very impressed when they see Senior Brother Changsheng."

Taiyin Jianzi and Shaoyin Jianzi are two women. They nodded, and Shaoyin Jianzi even said with a smile, "If the sect master saw it, I'm afraid it would be a pity that he didn't meet Senior Brother Changsheng earlier. With Senior Brother's knowledge of the Four Symbols, if he practices the Four Symbols Sword Technique, I'm afraid he will be better than us."

Although Taiyin Jianzi didn't say anything, he also had such an expression.

Pei Xuanjing waved his hands repeatedly to deny, and smiled and shook his head, "Senior brothers and sisters are too kind, but it's just a family's opinion, not that exaggerated. If you keep saying this, I will be ashamed."

It is said that he met these four swordsmen of the Four Symbols Sword Sect half a month ago. He originally thought that the other party was looking for trouble with him, but later he learned that these people also came for travel and experience.

Although the Four Symbols Sword Sect is called the Sword Sect, it has always been considered to be a Taoist sect because its founder had listened to the teachings of the founder Sanfeng. The education of their disciples is much better than that of many sects.

Although the Changsheng Temple where Pei Xuanjing came from is small, it is also a Taoist temple. It can even be said that Pei Xuanjing himself is a genuine Taoist disciple. Not only does he have a Taoist name, but he also has an official certificate of ordination, and is a legitimate Taoist recognized by the Ming Empire.

After a conversation, it can be said that they hit it off at first sight and regretted not meeting each other earlier. In the end, several people even called each other brothers.

Several people also came from the Taoist sect, and the "Four Spirits Sutra" practiced by Pei Xuanjing is actually somewhat similar to the "Four Symbols Sword Sutra" of the Four Symbols Sword Sect.

After half a month of continuous communication, they have gained a lot from their own learning, especially the understanding of the Four Symbols.

So when they were about to part, Taiyang Jianzi invited Pei Xuanjing to visit the Four Symbols Sword Sect when he had time, expressing his recognition of him as a fellow Taoist and friend.

Finally, they parted ways.

Pei Xuanjing went alone to find the people sent by the Palace Master, ready to take them back with him.

After all, unlike the opening of the secret blessed land, when the secret blessed land is closed, there will be multiple places to leave, and the place where Pei Xuanjing and his friends left is exactly the place agreed by the Palace Master.

Three days later, Pei Xuanjing, Gu San and others stood quietly in a forest, waiting for the exit to open.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the originally bright moonlight was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and a hole about ten feet in size appeared in front of them.

They could easily see outside through the hole, which was exactly the place they agreed on.
