The so-called "righteous way and heavenly unity" is the highest state in Xuandao, and "ten thousand blessings will last forever" are the auspicious words specially used by the people to address the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Lin held great power and believed deeply in Xuan Dao. Naturally, she was not willing to be just a mediocre empress dowager, so she gave herself the supreme title of Holy Empress Dowager.
Seeing Ma Xin kneel down and kowtow, everyone present no longer doubted that Yi's decree was fake. Xu Zun was indeed an imperial envoy sent by the Queen Mother.
The elders of Zishan, the martial arts masters of the Tan Gang, and the high-ranking figures under Li Ronger all bowed to Xu Zun and saluted.
But the lower-level disciples among the three gangs were very embarrassed, especially the disciples of the Tan Gang. When they saw the acting gang leader kneeling, some also knelt down, but most of them just stood and saluted, and even felt at a loss.
of.
These people in the world rarely interact with the court. Even if they know the etiquette, it is difficult for them to kneel down and worship.
However, Xu Zun didn't care about this. He had achieved his goal by knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger's power.
"Hahaha...hahaha...it turns out that the imperial envoy is really here!" At this time, the second elder Zhuangcheng stepped forward to smooth things over, "Since we are acting according to the imperial court's will, then naturally we, the Zishan Sect, can't say anything.
, just admit your defeat!"
While speaking, he deliberately glanced at Jiaochengtong. This sentence was obviously meant for Jiaochengtong to listen to. It means that if your disciple is killed, he will be killed. What else can you do?
"From now on," Zhuang Jingcheng said with his hand raised, "our sect will strictly control and discipline the disciples, and there will never be any illegal activities again! Right, acting leader?"
Zhuang Jingcheng did not call Jiao Chengtong the great elder, but the acting head. It was obvious that he was holding his breath and was dissatisfied with Jiao Chengtong.
"That's right," Dadi, the other elders behind him, said without hesitation, "Sacrifice a few of our disciples, it's not bad to save the Zishan Sect, hehehe..."
These beatings and ridicules made Jiao Chengtong even more embarrassed. He held the hilt of the sword angrily, but could not get angry.
Compared to Xu Zun, the blows he received from his own people were even more difficult for him to accept.
Now, all of his proud disciples have been dealt with by Xu Zun, and apart from his status as a great elder, he has no other influence in the Zishan Sect.
He knew that he would never last long as acting head.
Seeing Jiao Chengtong's face turning from blue to purple, Xu Zun had no choice but to give him a step up:
"Teaching Master," Xu Zun said, "I came to Yonghui this time mainly to investigate the evil ghost murder case.
“I thought there was only one ghost, but I didn’t expect that two more appeared, and even killed the leader of Gui and the Tan Gang.
"So, during today's alliance, Xu has only one thing to ask for. I hope that everyone can cooperate with Xu's investigation and find out the truth about evil ghosts eating people!"
oh?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Except for Li Ronger, no one knew the purpose of Xu Zun's Purple Mountain Alliance.
Now that Xu Zun mentioned it, everyone was a little surprised.
"So..." Ma Xin said doubtfully at first, "The evil ghost...isn't...isn't..."
Ma Xin's meaning was very obvious. He thought that the evil spirit was related to Xu Zun, and that Xu Zun was using it specifically to wipe out the Yonghui gang.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zun also came to investigate the murder of evil spirits.
"Master Xu," Zhuang Jingcheng obviously stole the show. When he saw that Jiao Chengtong was silent, he asked bluntly, "I wonder how Master Xu is going to investigate?"
"Inspect the scene, examine the body, and interview witnesses." Xu Zun answered without thinking.
"Oh? In this way, we can find out the truth?" Zhuang Jingcheng frowned, "But... that's a ghost, not human work?"
"Because of this," Xu Zun said casually, "the Empress Dowager sent me to investigate."
"Ah?" Zhuang Jingcheng was surprised, "Could it be that... Mr. Xu can still catch ghosts?"
"Haha, you won't know until you try it whether it works or not!" Xu Zun took the opportunity to threaten, "It makes Xu feel that these evil ghosts will not stop, and the remaining three will also appear!"
ah……
After hearing this, everyone was really fooled. Everyone felt like they had a ray of light on their backs, and they felt that the atmosphere was depressing.
"Everyone," Li Ronger finally spoke at this time, "if it weren't for Mr. Xu's protection, I'm afraid that I, Li Ronger, would have been poisoned by evil spirits.
"The six ghosts are coming fiercely. If we don't get rid of them, we will never have peace!"
"Okay!" Zhuang Jingcheng said, "In that case, let's ask Mr. Xu to start. We Zishan Sect will cooperate!"
"Zhuang Jingcheng!" Unexpectedly, Jiao Chengtong suddenly shouted, "Should you respect your identity? Have you forgotten that I am the acting head of the Zishan Sect. It seems that you can't make the decision here, right?"
"Oh?" Zhuang Jingcheng pretended to be surprised, "What, does the Great Elder have any objections?"
"Didn't you hear how he wanted to investigate?" Jiao Chengtong reminded, "The secret room where Master Wanqi practices is a forbidden area for our sect. Do you really want an outsider to enter?
"Also, if the head of the Zishan Sect is murdered, if it is handed over to someone from the government and word spreads, how can we have the dignity to gain a foothold in the world?"
"Great Elder," Zhuang Jingcheng was prepared and immediately replied, "If the leader is framed by others, then it is naturally our own business, but now there is an evil spirit at work!
"Can you guarantee that the monkey ghost won't come back to kill you again? Can you guarantee that you won't be the next one to turn into bones?"
"This..." Jiao Chengtong was speechless.
"Yes!" The other elders also stood beside Zhuang Jingcheng, "It's already this time, why do you care about face? Your life still matters!"
"That's right, the imperial court finally sent professionals to deal with it, but why don't you invite them?"
"You... you..." Jiao Chengtong saw that he was isolated, and he was even more angry and trembling all over.
"Master Xu," at this time, Ma Xin once again stood up and said politely, "No matter what others do, our Tan Gang welcomes your investigation. We have no forbidden areas and we will not care about the reputation of the world. We only hope that you can investigate as soon as possible."
Find out the cause of death of the leader of my Flower Corpse Gang and get rid of those evil ghosts!"
Ma Xin's statement like this is obviously adding insult to injury and smashing Jiao Chengtong to pieces.
"Okay." Xu Zun was not polite and said to Ma Xin in public, "I will go to the Tan Gang to investigate later. Oh, what a pity..."
Xu Zun improvised, pretending to be cool on the spot, and said in a serious manner: "I went to visit your gang the day before yesterday. Actually, I felt that there was a ghost in the south, and I was worried that your gang was in trouble, so I went to check.
"It's a pity that I went a step too late, and the ghost spirit has dissipated. Alas... if I could have gone a little earlier, maybe I could have saved the leader of the Hua Gang!
"Xu also didn't expect that these evil spirits would come with such ferocity!"
"Oh...I see," Xu Zun dared to say, and Ma Xin really dared to believe it. He nodded immediately and said, "No wonder you are acting so strangely!"
The reason Xu Zun made this up was naturally because he wanted Ma Xin to dispel his doubts and stop thinking that the gang leader's death was related to him.
In this way, the Zishan Sect no longer has any reason not to cooperate with them.
"Fortunately..." At this time, Li Ronger didn't know whether she was possessed by the drama spirit or she really believed it. She immediately said fearfully, "Thankfully Mr. Xu went to the Sanhe Gang without stopping. Otherwise, I might not be able to come today.
Already..."
"Okay, okay, okay..." Jiao Chengtong said tremblingly, "Since you all say so, then you don't care about the sect's rules!"
After saying that, he slumped down on the chair, pointed inside and said: "Master Xu, you can check whatever you want! I want to see how capable you are..."
