Chapter 1058: Sky-Devouring Demon Scripture
“Yes.”
After a few words of encouragement, Tie Changlin tactfully took his leave.
The next day.
After a trip to the Ding Residence, Zhang Ronghua found that there were many military books in the study room. Most of them were in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books. Zhang Ronghua had read them before, but he did not have the handwritten copies or the only ones.
It wasn’t that the Palace of Ten Thousand Books couldn’t do it, but that these books were kept very strictly. Every single one of them was of great value. If they were to be treasured in the future, no matter how powerful the imperial family was, they wouldn’t be able to collect all the books in the world.
It took him some time to finish reading them.
He left after dinner.
On the way back.
When they reached a street, Zhang Ronghua stopped. A black shadow flashed and rushed out from the darkness. He bowed respectfully.” Greetings, Master!”
She brought him into a small alley.
“What happened?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
The black shadow was Zheng Yi. He did not let Zheng Qingyu pass the message but took the initiative to come over. Something big must have happened.
“Master, do you still remember Xiao Jiu?”
Zhang Ronghua had some impression of him. He was the outer circle member of Guang Ming, the one who sold sesame seed cakes. He had made a contribution to the discovery of Bai Wuji, the illegitimate son of Bai Yichang. He was rewarded handsomely. He asked,” What did you find this time?”
Zheng Yi said,” He’s not sure either. This afternoon, he was selling shaobing in the western part of the city and each of them bought five shaobing. Judging from his accent, it sounded like he was from the Shang Dynasty. He was eager to make a contribution, so he reported the news to me. Then, he sent someone to investigate. The news he received was very shocking. It was indeed them. I’ve thought a lot. Today, the Shang Dynasty’s envoy group came. Could it be their people hiding in the dark?”
He had his suspicions before.
Zhang Ronghua was now sure that for the sake of Shangjing Rice, he did not know their plan.
“What place?”
” No. 256, Anlin Lane.”
“You go back first,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.”I’ll be right there.”
“Be careful!”
Zheng Yi left.
He changed directions and rushed towards the western city’s Anlin Lane.
..
It was an ordinary small courtyard with two entrances and two exits.
In the room.
A man and a woman sat across the table like a married couple. They were called An Feng and An Yu. They were originally senior siblings, but they got together and made a name for themselves. Later, they joined Taiyi Academy and became High Priests.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
” Senior Brother,” An Yu said,” Taiyi Academy has gone too far. They don’t even treat us as humans!”
An Feng was silent.
A few days ago, the two of them had been selected and the higher-ups had ordered them to come over. They did not say anything in detail. They were led by Elder Lei and listened to his arrangements.
Just now.
Elder Lei left. Before he left, he told them to go out for a while and ordered them to wait here. It was obvious that he didn’t trust them.
He thought about how he had been despised and ostracized all these years after he had joined Taiyi Academy. His cultivation was obviously very strong, but his treatment was even worse than that of the inner court disciples. He could not even go to some valuable places, let alone the library.
Hatred appeared on his face.
An Yu continued,” We sneaked into the Xia Dynasty, and that Lei guy was still so careful. Now, he’s going to meet someone. He must be brewing some shocking secret. We’re not afraid of death, but we can’t die without knowing why. We can’t be treated like fools. Let’s escape now!”
Seeing that An Feng was still silent, she took the initiative to hold his hand.
“The world is so big. With our cultivation, we can go anywhere! As long as we are careful, what can the Taiyi Academy do to us?”
An Feng was convinced. He was unwilling to leave just like that.” Junior Sister, we haven’t gotten the second half of the Dragon-Tiger Secret Technique yet. If we leave just like that, won’t all our efforts over the years be wasted?”
“Although the Dragon Tiger Secret Technique is good and can allow us to advance further, it’s not worth it to sacrifice our lives for it! If they treat us as their own people, it’s fine if they sell their lives to us, but they’re on guard everywhere. They only want to use us and use us as sabers.”
“Let’s have a child!” An Yu said tenderly.
A single sentence broke his defense, surpassing all the previous ones.
An Feng held her hand and made up his mind.” Let’s leave now before that Lei guy comes back. It’s too late!”
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and Zhang Ronghua walked in. He had already changed out of his kylin robe and was wearing a night-traveling suit. His face was covered, and only his eyes were exposed.
“Where do you two want to go?”
As if he was facing a great enemy, he suddenly stood up, took out his weapon, and prepared for battle.
He looked around and realized that he couldn’t see through it.
The couple’s hearts fell into an abyss. An Feng forced himself to calm down and asked,”What do you want to do, sir?”
“Where are the others?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
He hesitated for a moment.
An Feng didn’t want to risk his life for the Taiyi Academy anymore. Besides, the person in front of him gave him a very scary feeling. He told the truth.” Elder Lei just left. He didn’t tell us where he was going!”
“You don’t know?” Zhang Ronghua’s eyes turned cold.
The atmosphere turned cold and murderous. Even the couple couldn’t resist it and subconsciously shivered.
” Elder Lei has a habit,” An Yu hurriedly added.” He goes to the nearby temple wherever he goes. You can try your luck there.”
“There’s more?”
The two of them leaned close to each other, as if they had guessed that the other party was going to attack. An Feng hurriedly explained,” We have just entered the Xia Dynasty and have not killed a single Xia person. You heard it too. Junior Sister and I are preparing to leave.”
“This is not an excuse.” Zhang Ronghua was unmoved.
He took a step forward and appeared in front of them. A terrifying aura exploded out, like the sky, suppressing them domineeringly.
An Feng and An Yu couldn’t even withstand a single breath. Their knees went soft and they knelt on the ground. They were in despair and frantically circulated their martial arts to struggle. They wanted to break free from the immense pressure on their bodies, but it was useless. They couldn’t even open their mouths.
He stretched out his palm and placed it on their heads. He used the Sky-Devouring Demon Scripture, and a terrifying suction force spread out, devouring the essence of martial arts…
