Is there a traitor in the Law Enforcent Hall?
Li Yan was first startled, then he frowned slightly, "Did sothing happen?"
Tian Qianhu’s face changed slightly, "What do you know?"
Li Yan shook his head, "Don’t misunderstand, this isn’t hard to guess."
"If there were a traitor in the Law Enforcent Hall, and you had the intelligence, you would have already captured them. But your cautious defense indicates sothing has indeed happened, yet you’re not sure who it is..."
Tian Qianhu fell silent for a mont, "No wonder Luo Mingzi respects you so much; your guess is indeed not wrong."
"With the news of Zhao Changsheng arriving in the Capital, the court has taken it very seriously. His Majesty has ordered the Law Enforcent Hall to assemble elites from various regions into a small team specially tasked with finding and killing Zhao Changsheng, and all regions will cooperate."
"In the past few months, their efforts were not fruitless; based on the information you provided, they followed the clues and tracked Zhao Changsheng’s trail."
"This rebellion in the Southwest stemd not only from the conversion of feudal lands but also from the Jing Chu Mountain tribes. He was instigating conflicts, helping three parties form an alliance."
"He promised to help a High Priest in Tusi City and the leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect return to life. Several Mystical Sect experts have already infiltrated Shennongjia, waiting to kill this fiend."
"However, Zhao Changsheng suddenly changed his mind, had Master Huang handle the affairs in Ezhou and went to Jiangdong instead, attempting to sabotage the seal in Lingyin Temple and release the suppressed evil beings."
"The court received this information and set a trap to capture him, but the enemy was prepared, using himself as bait to lure several Mystical Sect experts into the trap and killed them with new gunpowder..."
"After several failures, His Majesty was furious, and those in the Magic Veins who suffered losses were also quite dissatisfied."
"His Majesty began to suspect that there were enemy spies in the Law Enforcent Hall, so of whom held high positions, so a false piece of intelligence was released, which indeed confird this. However, the spy also sensed danger and was no longer fooled."
"The plans hereafter have changed; the Law Enforcent Hall operates openly, and we operate in secret, under the charge of Daoist Luo Mingzi, continuing the pursuit of Zhao Changsheng..."
Li Yan listened with a deep frown, "This man is so troubleso that even with the power of the entire nation, we cannot locate him?"
Tian Qianhu nodded, "He was once the Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect of the Great Song, tracing his origins back to the Evil Cultivators of Wu in the late Han Dynasty."
"Returning to life many tis, he has buried countless traps across the land of Divine State, definitely not an easy target, otherwise why would His Majesty personally inquire into this matter?"
"Moreover, he possesses a secret treasure, no trifling matter, His Majesty had a State Preceptor set up an altar for divination and still could not track his movents..."
Li Yan was silent, knowing the other party was right.
The threat of Zhao Changsheng was even greater than he had imagined, capable of uniting the Mystical Sect and even establishing the Great Xing Dynasty specifically to deal with the Ghost Sect, one can imagine how troubleso this person was.
"What about the Proper Xuan Sect?"
"They have all received the news, whether orthodox or Magic Veins, they have issued high rewards to their forces to pay attention to Zhao Changsheng’s movents. At least he will not act as unrestrainedly as before."
"Then why have you co here this ti..."
"Zhao Changsheng is cunning, Daoist Luo Mingzi believes that he might attempt a counterattack. Since the Imperial Astronors are here, it allows us to mingle with the team and investigate in Ezhou secretly."
"After this matter, we will hide in the shadows, and will not deal with the local Captain Bureau or the Law Enforcent Hall."
"Daoist Luo Mingzi has said that you, Young Hero Li, can be trusted; what do you suggest?"
Li Yan pondered for a mont, "The matter of reviving the leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect is no longer a secret; the enemy will likely change the location at short notice."
"Whether Zhao Changsheng cos or not, Master Huang is the key; the enemy has now gathered various old demons along the Yangtze River in an attempt to disrupt the court army’s supply lines."
"I have already inford the Navy; you can keep a secret watch. As long as you find Master Huang, you can catch Zhao Changsheng’s trail."
"Master Huang..."
Tian Qianhu thought for a mont, "Thank you."
Li Yan sternly said, "Demons are cunning, be cautious."
After a conversation, they parted ways.
After returning to the camp, Tian Qianhu didn’t speak to Li Yan anymore, acting as if he didn’t know him, just silently doing his own work.
Li Yan knew that Tian Qianhu wasn’t the only one who had co.
Even his appearance was very likely just a decoy.
But he could really do nothing in such a matter.
Dealing with an old demon like Zhao Changsheng wasn’t sothing that could be managed alone; he also had to look after his companions and couldn’t stop cultivating to devote all his ti to this man.
He could only pay more attention in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Yan no longer troubled about the matter, arranged things for Lv San and others, then went to find Yuan Feng again.
Upon arriving at the tent, several people were already seated inside.
Among them were Confucian-robed elders and soone in the Ministry of Industry official robes.
"Young Hero Li arrives at just the right ti."
When they saw him, Elder Yuan Feng imdiately said, "I’ll introduce you; this is a forr master of Bailu Academy, versed in the antiquities of tals and stones, these are all disciples of my Departnt of Imperial Cleanliness, skilled in chanical Techniques."
"The arrival of the thunderclouds is set, the ti to open the Thunder Altar will not change, and the conditions inside the tomb are still unknown, so we must move ahead."
"Wuchang City has already received the news, the large Eight Trigrams copper mirror is on its way, and Master Tong Huan and the others have also made preparations; tonight, they will enter the tomb."
"I need to preside over here, later people from the Law Enforcent Hall will escort a few of you into the tomb, Young Hero Li, these people might all belong to the Academy, please ensure their safety."
"Rest assured, sir!"
Li Yan bowed, and they exchanged greetings.
These were all highly educated people, speaking in mild and polite tones, though sowhat anxious, continuously glancing outside the tent, eager to enter the tomb.
