Chapter 513 Connectors
At that moment, Army Master Long Xiang was sluggish.
——Even if Li Wang said that the two kings had abandoned their neutral position and directly turned to the leader, he would not be so surprised.
but……
"Can't find... what do you mean?"
"It's just - I can't find it."
King Li's face was completely gloomy, "During the last battle of Qianli, those two kings presented the beacons of Zhenkun Dao and Kan Dao, but now after I crossed the sea of burial following the breath of the beacons, I didn't arrive. Find Kundao and Kandao as if...they never existed."
Lord Long Xiang swallowed his saliva and was speechless.
——Actually, this is not the first time that King Li has visited the two great avenues. After the end of the first Ganli war, to thank those two kings, he visited in person.
At that time, the path of the beacon was still correct,
"Come on!"
Li Wang suddenly spoke.
As soon as the words fell, a figure wearing black and gold soft armor walked out of the void, kneeling respectfully under the hall.
"Called to Anzi who is lurking in the two major avenues, I want to know what happened to Kun Dao and Kan Dao!"
"Here!" The figure immediately led away.
And Li Wang's face became more gloomy.
——At their level, even for things with unknown results, they still have some faint feelings, which is called the sympathy between heaven and man.
At this time, King Li had a faint feeling.
——This order, I am afraid there will be no result.
Time, bit by bit, the sun rises and the moon sets.
In the main hall, King Li and Army Master Long Xiang were silent and did not say a word.
The atmosphere was as stiff as if frozen.
Finally, in the early morning of the third day, the deacon in black and gold soft armor walked in from outside the hall, knelt down on the ground, and said anxiously,
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Underground Palace has sent messages to the 980 four spies who are dormant in Kun Dao and the 730 and [-] spies in Kan Dao."
"All...no news from them."
After the voice fell, the temperature in the already dead silent hall dropped sharply!
It's as if all the air is condensed except for the invisible ice.
The deacon was trembling.
"I already know, you...retire."
Li Wang took a deep breath and waved his hands.
The figure just retreated as if he had received an amnesty.
On the other hand, the face of the sculpture-like Lord Longxiang was covered with bitter frost!
——As for the behavior of placing spies among the four major roads, the leader of the army, Long Xiang, is the most clear.
This primitive and unreliable method may play a huge role at certain times.
So even in the relatively friendly Kun Dao and Kan Dao, the Li Palace has deployed more than four figures of spies.
However, due to the endless sea of burials in between, the existence of these spies is extremely precious, and every transmission of information also consumes huge resources and risks exposure.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, most of these spies will not be able to wait for the day when they will be activated until their lifespan is exhausted.
Even some spies who sneaked into the high-level will block their own memory and soul with secret methods, making them forget their true identity.
Only when the corresponding Li Palace agency sends out the agreed signal will they be stimulated to recover and carry out the order.
——The so-called spy is such a complicated and obscure existence.
Similarly, since it is so important, the loyalty of the spies can be absolutely guaranteed - when the Ligong intelligence agency sends a signal to activate the spies hiding in the market, they will definitely reply and start the plan.
This time, under Li Wang's order, Li Palace activated all spies.
Even if a few of them were unable to reply due to special reasons, it would not be the case that all of them disappeared.
If I had to say it, there was only one possibility—they sent them all.
But is this... possible?
Even if it is an existence like "King", it is unlikely that they will be caught one by one before the spies are activated.
This is also the reason why everyone knew that there was such a thing, but didn't bother to remove it.
"I can't figure it out..." Army Master Long Xiang slowly shook his head, "Your Majesty, pardon me for being so ignorant that I can't understand what happened to cause such a strange result."
King Li glanced at him, sighed, and didn't speak.
——Mr. Long Xiang couldn't figure it out, how could he ever figure it out?
"It's impossible... Those spies disappeared with the entire Kun Dao and Kan Dao, right?" Army Master Long Xiang murmured.
And just at this time, the deacon in black and gold soft armor flashed out of the void again, and respectfully presented an iron paper letter to King Li.
On the seemingly ordinary letter, there was an aura of vastness and nothingness.
——The breath of the buried sea.
This letter came from heretics after crossing the sea of burial!
At that moment, before Army Master Longxiang had time to show joy, he heard the deacon in soft armor speak respectfully,
"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by the secret agent of Qiandao."
Li Wang took the letter, opened it, and glanced at it casually.
——Before Jiangnan went to the main road, Li Palace had already activated some spies who were dormant on the main road, allowing them to meet Jiangnan and provide him with support.
Now, three days later, they must have met.
But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, King Li can't move his eyes anymore, and for the first time his expression reveals a look of astonishment.
——Just like the content on it, he couldn't even understand it.
Seeing all this, the leader of the Longxiang army felt even more heartbroken—even when he hadn't found the two great masters and the spies of the two masters just now and you hadn't heard from him, Wang Li never showed such an expression!
Could it be... on the other side of the main road, something more sensational happened?
Lord Long Xiang guessed like this, his heart was like an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
Finally, after the deacon tactfully retreated.
Only then did Wang Li let out a long breath of turbid air, handed the jet-black letter paper to Army Master Long Xiang, and said slowly, "...this is a big deal."
Lord Long Xiang took it over and saw that it was all encrypted with special rules. After a little time wasted on deciphering it, he froze immediately.
Between the hands, the light and thin letter paper fell silently to the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... This... This..."
Army Lord Longxiang seemed to be stuttering, faltering, but unable to utter a complete sentence!
——On the letter paper, the first half of it was still a bit normal, and basically reported to Li Palace that Jiangnan and the six-eyed anaconda had arrived safely, as well as some subsequent plans.
But the last paragraph of the letter is somewhat incomprehensible.
——This letter is written in the voice of a secret agent surnamed Qin. Most of the first paragraph is his report, but the last sentence is a paraphrase.
he wrote in the letter.
——His Royal Highness of the Heavenly Palace and Lord Guardian of the Heavenly Palace once said that in the depths of the sea of burials, they saw the king of Kun Dao, Kun Zun, who had turned into the shadow of the nightmare tide.
There are not many words, but the matter is very big!
Army Lord Longxiang immediately felt a sledgehammer fall on the back of his head, making him dizzy and trembling!
.
Time, go back to three days ago.
At this time, Li Wanggang searched Kun and Kan to no avail.
And Jiangnan and the six-eyed anaconda have just reached the boundary of the main road.
At this time, it was still late at night on the main road.
One person and one snake hang above the sky, and below is a vast and silent wilderness.
On the dark green earth, the meandering river reflects the moonlight, flowing slowly like the blood vessels of the earth.The orderly avenue is like the meridians of the world, linking one after another sleeping cities.
And in the distant sky, strands of fairy light hang down, converging towards a certain ethereal and majestic mountain.
Just like the glow of the polar night, it is beautiful and magical.
It seems that this huge mountain is the "Dojo" in charge of this area.
Different from the various Taoist temples of Lidao, Sword Sect, and Poison Sect, the sect of Qiandao is extremely pure and simple.
They are all called "daochang".
Headed by the Tianshan Dojo that suppresses the heavens above the clouds, countless dojos, large and small, spread across the 36 domains.
And the most powerful dojo in each domain, also known as "Zun Daochang" and "Main Dojo", has immortals sitting in it.
36 Do "Zun Daochang", together with the supreme Tianshan Daochang, build the top layer of the huge practice world of the main road.
And the vast fairy mountain in front of me looks quite extraordinary, but there is still a big gap from the "Zun Daochang" where there are rumors that there are "immortals" sitting in the town, and the end can not be seen at a glance.
It should be just an ordinary dojo.
After reaching this conclusion, Jiangnan was slightly relieved.
——Otherwise, if you are a newcomer and don't know anything yet, you just crash into the leader's lair, that's a pure grievance.
"call……"
Jiang Nan looked around, took a deep breath, and turned himself into a handsome young man of [-] or [-] years old by using the magic power of transforming his body into shape.
Of course, he didn't change it at will, but changed it according to the description of a hidden power named "Yaotian Daoist" after consulting many legends of Qiandao before coming here.
After all, in order to act in this way, one still needs to have a secure identity to justify it.
——As for the real Taoist Yaotian, who knows if he died in a corner or closed in a paradise?
At the same time, the six-eyed anaconda also transformed into an inconspicuous little green-gray snake, and shrank into Jiangnan's sleeve.
One person and one snake landed on the ground, stepping on the dry and hard loess, walking along the mighty river, singing and walking.
Looking at that appearance, it really seems to have merged into the Qiandao practice world.
And the destination of Jiangnan is a mortal city located under the immortal mountain dojo.
Because according to the magic weapon given to him by King Li, he could feel the resonant response in that city.
This means that the person who also holds the magic weapon is the secret agent from the palace. After the connection, he will provide Jiangnan with various information to facilitate his actions.
Walking to the gate of the city, a group of mortal soldiers in iron armor stood on both sides of the official road, not looking sideways.
When Jiangnan approached, they all turned their heads, stared at them coldly, shouted loudly,
"When the curfew, who is coming!"
Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes, and a gust of wind erupted around him, blowing a group of tall and burly soldiers upside down!
Seeing this, these adults and soldiers trembled just now, and repeatedly accused them of being blind and ignorant of immortal masters!
Although in any world, the status of practitioners is much higher than that of ordinary people, but Gandao is more blatant and naked-in the rules of Gandao, practitioners... especially those who are recognized by the Tianshan Dojo have the privileges is unimaginable.
Among other things, just because they offended Jiang Nan so much before, Jiang Nan could kill them, and there is no place to reason.
"Humph!"
Fortunately for the soldiers, the stern-faced young Taoist only snorted coldly, as if he didn't care about them, and stepped into the city.
When you come to the wide and large city, the straight streets and alleys are criss-crossed, and the blue-gray floor tiles are flat and quiet.
"It looks like...the same as..."
The six-eyed anaconda in the cuff muttered, but held back at the critical moment, and did not say Li Dao's name.
Jiang Nan ignored him and continued walking forward.
When he came to a dark alley, he could smell a faint smell of wine, blowing towards his face.
And following the guidance of the magic weapon in his arms, he came to an old wine shop in the innermost alley, and knocked on the door.
Not long after, an old man with a stooped figure and a timid expression pushed open the wooden door, leaving a gap, and slowly closed it after Jiangnan entered.
In the shop, the strong smell of wine is lingering, the furnishings are simple, and the tables and chairs are old and somewhat yellowed.
After Jiangnan entered the door, facing the old man, he drew a complicated and strange seal in his hand.
In an instant, it was like a switch.
The old man's aura changed suddenly, and in an instant, the pretense of cowardice faded away, and the mortal aura that belonged to the world of mortals was also swept away!
He was fiddling in a wine tank at the side, as if activating some pattern, a translucent light curtain covered the entire small shop.
After all this was done, the old man came to Jiangnan, bowed respectfully and saluted,
"Heaven's Secret Agent Qin Xiang, I have met His Majesty Mian."
"You're welcome, please get up."
Jiang Nan took a deep breath and looked at the hunchbacked figure in front of him.
Judging from his later revelation of aura, he should have reached the realm of harmony. Even if he is placed in the Taoist temple of the 36th domain of the main road, he can make a big career.
——As for the Xianshan Daoist who passed by Jiangnan just now, in charge of this area, in his perception, it seems that there is only one Hedao who is dying.
However, it is such a superpower who can be called ghosts and gods to ordinary people, but for the "activation order" that may never wait in a lifetime, he is willing to live in a small city as a bad old man who buys alcohol .
It is already worthy of respect.
Then, under the dim light, the two sat opposite each other.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin will fully assist you. If you have anything to do, please do not hesitate to order." The hunchbacked Prime Minister Qin took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Afterwards, he informed the basic situation of the main road, the affiliation of the forces, and where Jiangnan is now.
Jiang Nan kept the information in his heart while listening.
Then, after learning that Qin Xiang could use some kind of secret method to send a message, he also told the secret agent what he saw and heard in the Nightmare Tide, and asked him to send a message together with everything the six-eyed anaconda saw. To leave the palace.
So, the lights flickered, and the conversation in the wine shop didn't end until early in the morning.
On the main road, the sun rises in the east, and the rays of light are overwhelming.
Everything is as usual.
But no one expected that a storm was about to roll up from the cramped alleys of a certain mortal city, and finally... sweep across the universe.
