Chapter 194 Movements of All Parties
A banquet brought everyone closer together.
After the banquet, Luo Yuheng led everyone out for a stroll.
When she agreed to let so many group members come to this world, she never thought she could keep it a secret from all the various forces.
As the Grand Preceptor of the Great Feng Kingdom, her Lingbao Temple has always been a major focus of attention for various forces.
With so many group members coming to her world, she can't keep them all staying at Lingbao Temple forever, can she?
To her, it was nothing more than a group of fellow Daoists visiting her, and she was just showing them around for a bit. Did she need to explain this to anyone?
Aside from the supervisor, who else could know the special nature of her fellow Daoists?
As for the issue of the supervisor, she doesn't need to worry about it; the group members can handle it.
So when Luo Yuheng led such a large group of people away from Lingbao Temple in a swaggering manner, all the various forces received the news.
The factions that received the message were all bewildered; they had no idea where these people had come from.
If it were just one or two people entering and leaving Lingbao Temple, it might be due to their lack of intelligence. But it was a case of more than ten or twenty people leaving Lingbao Temple together with the head of the Renzong Daoist sect and the Grand Preceptor of the Great Feng Kingdom, Luo Yuheng.
But these forces didn't receive any news about these people entering Lingbao Temple? That's a really big problem.
Does that mean everyone is blind?
Judging from the way the imperial advisor treated these people, they don't seem to be ordinary people either.
At Haoqi Tower, the headquarters of the night watchmen, Wei Yuan, a handsome and refined man with a fair complexion, no beard, and frosty temples, looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a deep and unfathomable gaze.
This is the intelligence that was just handed over by the night watchman: the Imperial Preceptor Luo Yuheng led a large group of people out of Lingbao Temple.
This Imperial Preceptor, who spends most of her time in meditation at Lingbao Temple, is a key figure to watch over by the night watchmen. Although Luo Yuheng does not enter the court or get involved in the power struggles among the various factions in the capital, no one can ignore her.
Her status as the leader of the Human Sect and her peak second-grade cultivation level make her hard to ignore.
If she were to speak on important matters of the court, Emperor Yuanjing would have to give it serious consideration.
Now that such a heavyweight figure has made a move, he naturally wants to analyze her motives. What kind of waves will her actions stir up next?
There were also people who appeared with Luo Yuheng, none of whom were recognized by his watchmen; they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Ah, how interesting. In this world, there is no famous person that the night watchmen do not know; they are the ones who collect intelligence.
The head of the night watchmen, a powerful figure in the imperial court, tapped the table lightly as he pondered.
Wei Yuan also has quite a story. He was originally childhood sweethearts with Empress Shangguan Xixue and they secretly pledged their lives to each other.
Unfortunately, their elopement was discovered, and Shangguan Xixue was sent to the palace to become the empress, while he was castrated and entered the palace as a eunuch; Shangguan Xixue was made empress, and the two were now worlds apart.
Later, when the northern border was in danger, Wei Yuan volunteered to lead the expedition. With his unparalleled military strategy, he swept away the barbarians, achieving a great victory at Shanhaiguan and becoming the God of War of Dafeng. Furthermore, his martial arts reached the second rank of Dao Integration, making him a candidate for God of War selected by the Supervisor.
Unfortunately, upon her return, she was suspected by Emperor Yuanjing, who threatened her with the life of the Empress.
To protect his beloved, Wei Yuan abandoned his second-rank cultivation and returned to court to take charge of the night watchmen and the Censorate, enduring hardship for twenty years.
Although he has secretly recovered to the third-rank immortal body with the help of the supervisor over the years, he still appears in front of people as a cripple, and his cultivation level has always been hidden.
His years of forbearance have long since dulled his sharp edges.
He instructed his night watchmen to continue monitoring the movements of the imperial advisor.
As for himself, there's no need to rush. Let's observe the movements of other forces first.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, Emperor Yuanjing was the one who paid the most attention to Luo Yuheng.
He wanted to cultivate with Luo Yuheng to break through to the second rank and prolong his life, but Luo Yuheng kept refusing.
Emperor Yuanjing needed Luo Yuheng's help to stabilize the country, and Luo Yuheng also needed to use the royal family to stabilize the imperial clan, as well as the more crucial dynasty's fortune to suppress the karmic fire. They each got what they needed, but there was an insurmountable layer of fear and control between them.
Emperor Yuanjing was wary of her cultivation level, yet he had no choice but to rely on her.
Just like the Director of the Imperial Household Department, Emperor Yuanjing was even more wary of him, but the Director didn't really pay him any attention.
Having power means being able to do whatever you want. The Supervisor was originally a first-rank official, and with the help of the dynasty's fortune in the capital, he could even be invincible at the first-rank level. Even if multiple first-rank officials attacked, he could suppress them.
It is universally acknowledged that if a superior product is not produced, there is no way to subdue the supervisor within the territory of Dafeng.
Moreover, this supervisor has an even more secretive identity—a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao.
After receiving news that Luo Yuheng had led a large group of people out of Lingbao Temple, Emperor Yuanjing only focused on one thing: why hadn't his spies reported that so many people had entered Lingguangbao?
Have your men investigate those who are with Luo Yuheng. Luo Yuheng's relationship with these people seems unusual. If we can soften Luo Yuheng's attitude through these people, it would be a good line of defense.
Inside the Imperial Observatory, there was a white-haired old man dressed in white, seemingly an ordinary old man, but in reality, he was the elusive and unpredictable Director, as ethereal as the heavens.
After Luo Yuheng led his group of friends away from Lingbao Temple, he sensed this delightful news.
To put it bluntly, as a first-rank Destiny Master, the entire capital city is under his watchful eye, and almost no one can escape his detection.
Of course, the main reason is that no one concealed their aura, especially Richard and Xia Mi. If they had used their original world to cover their auras, the supervisor wouldn't have been able to detect them.
The more the supervisor investigated, the more suspicious he became of these people; he could not fathom their karmic causes and destinies.
It's as if these people don't belong to this world.
Even after the investigation, someone there replied to him, saying they would visit him when they had time.
Clearly, his investigation was noticed by those people.
The supervisor smiled. This was interesting. He wondered where Luo Yuheng had gotten to know these people.
These people appeared so soon after he rescued Xu Qi'an? How interesting.
Could it be that his actions were discovered by those super-experts?
And so, all the forces in the capital city were stirred up because Luo Yuheng had taken his friends out.
Luo Yuheng, however, clearly did not care about these trivial matters.
She was simply showing her friends around this capital city, which she herself wasn't very familiar with.
Although she resided in the capital, she mostly practiced meditation at Lingbao Temple and rarely went out, much less had the leisure to stroll around the streets.
"Oh ho, so that guy has already traveled through time?" Lin Feng listened to the rumors circulating in the city about Xu Tongluo solving the tax silver case.
Considering the timeline, Xu Qi'an has probably only recently transmigrated here, right?
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Luo Yuheng and Mu Nanzhi revealed a gossipy undertone.
He really wanted to know what Luo Yuheng was thinking now, and whether she would still follow the plot and become Xu Qi'an's love interest.
