Chapter 20: Zhong Sheng

Yuan Xiu is ready to take a gamble.
The four of them have been at a stalemate in the alleyway for a long time. Yuan Xiu is being held hostage, while Tang Yun is standing on the side, forming hand seals with one hand, sweat dripping from his bald head, seemingly divining good and bad fortune.
From a distance, Lu Xiaoyou held a broadsword, ready to charge at any moment.
"Brother, let's talk calmly, don't get emotional!"
Yuan Xiu grinned and said, as he extended his divine consciousness to sense the talismans in his pocket. He continued, "I see that your people are quite united, right? If you really kill me, it won't just be you who can't live, even your brothers won't survive!"
"Just think about it, even if you get caught today, it's only you who will suffer. But if you kill me, all of you will be in big trouble! Be careful!"
"Besides..."
He preached in a flurry and his emotions were truly sincere, showcasing his accumulated acting skills from two lifetimes.
In secret, they have already silently arranged several talismans for communication.
"Hmph! That person has exceptional cultivation, how could they choose someone like you, who is only concerned about their own life and afraid of death!"
The black-clothed person snorted disdainfully, tauntingly saying, but their gaze still underwent a subtle and imperceptible change, as if they were contemplating.
Just at this moment, several yellow talismans in Yuan Xiu's arms instantly turned into ashes.
And with a sudden blow from his left elbow, he struck the heart of the black-clad man, and the accumulated power of his stabbing fist directly poured into his body!
The man in black grunts.
His eyes immediately fill with anger as he is forced to retreat due to intense pain, while his broken sword viciously cuts across Yuan Xiu's neck!
This sword creates a bleeding gash.
The wound is not deep, just a superficial cut, about two inches long.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the man in black outside widened suddenly, feeling somewhat incredulous.
Although injured and his true essence scattered by Yuan Xiu's sudden elbow strike, after all, he is a cultivation expert at the level of "Divine Transcendence." Cutting off at least half of the opponent's neck should be expected, so how could it only cause such a minor injury?
For a moment, he was stunned, and he quickly wanted to swing his sword again!
But Yuan Xiu moved like a rabbit, with twisted and strange postures, rushing towards Lu Xiaoyou not far away. While shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Xiaoyou! Cut him!"
“???”
Luo Xiaoyou was still a little dazed and didn't react.
Yuan Xiu rushed behind her, and only then did she come to her senses. Her petite figure suddenly shot out like an arrow, slashing horizontally with a knife!
Clang!
The black-clothed man blocked the sword with his broken sword, using the force to float away. Finally, he glared at Yuan Xiu with anger, turned around, and quickly left.
"Shadow Steps?!"
In the distance, Yuan Xiu saw the back figure of the black-clothed man swiftly leaving, his eyes widened.
The opponent displayed the incredible Phantom Walk technique.
Clearly, they were much more skilled and their movements were much more graceful.
Most importantly, Phantom Walk is a divine technique of the Heavenly Court, only practitioners who cultivate the "Dao Scripture" can use it, so how could this person in black have it?
"Could it be the people from the Heavenly Court? Assassinating Li Jingxing?"
Yuan Xiu was startled by his own thoughts.
During these days, he had read some books about history, and he knew that the relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Empire had always been very close since the Emperor Taizu swept across the five countries and established the Empire. The Empire ruled the secular world, while the Heavenly Court, in a certain sense, was the chief authority of the cultivation realm. Both sides complemented each other, and 'garrisoning' was a product of this situation, helping the Empire deal with some troublesome matters involving cultivators.
But if the Heavenly Court sends someone to assassinate Li Jingxing, what does this mean?
"Let's go back to the team quickly!"
Tang Yun looked in the direction where Lu Xiaoyou had chased, both of them were extremely fast and had disappeared without a trace.
Yuan Xiu was stunned: "Go back?"
"Go back and inform Elder Xu!"
Tasting Yun didn't explain much and pulled Yuan Xiu to run.
The two ran all the way and saw many black-clad Wuhou moving around on the road. It must be that they had all received the news and started to block the streets to capture the fleeing evil cultivators.
The two ran back to the team and headed straight to the clock tower where Xu Lao was. Panting heavily, they said, "Xu Lao, the person who assassinated General Zhenyuan has escaped!"
Yuan Xiu looked confused as he watched.
Xu Lao looks like this...he must still have his cultivation, but do you expect him to go after evil cultivators?
Hearing Xian Yun's words, Xu Lao didn't say much. With a single movement of his four hooves, he charged up the wooden stairs and headed towards the top of the bell tower. His figure was light and agile, completely unlike the lazy old dog that Yuan Xiu had in mind...
"Xu Lao is going upstairs to ring the bell."
At this point, Tang Yun finally had the opportunity to explain to Yuan Xiu: "That big bell is a magical tool. Wherever the sound of the bell reaches, if there are evil cultivators hiding, they will generally be agitated by impure energy within their bodies and consequently forced to reveal themselves."
Yuan Xiu: "Is this possible?! What if there are impurities in our bodies?"
"It's rare."
Taste Yun explained: "The Dao scripture is different from other exercises. Even if there are impurities in the practitioner's body, it won't be too much. However, for those miscellaneous and chaotic exercises practiced by evil cultivators, it's not certain. Only when the proportion of impurities to true yuan reaches a certain level will it be affected by the bell sound."
Yuan Xiu was suddenly surprised, this even comes with intelligent recognition?
Immediately he felt somewhat uneasy, what he cultivated was not a Daoist scripture, but the Cloud Volumes of the Scholars, the ratio of impure Qi to pure Qi has even reached one to one, although it has been refined into True Yuan, he still feels a bit lacking...
Thunk!
The bell vibrated, and the deep sound of the bell suddenly spread in all directions.
Yuanxiu looked up, only to see that as the bell rang, the surrounding vitality suddenly erupted, as if ripples, scattering in all directions. With the movement of these vital energies, it seemed that the sound of the bell became visible.
Meanwhile, he felt a tremor in his chest.
A small whirlpool formed by the true energy in his dantian, the yin-yang fish, also trembled slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"Thank goodness..." Yuan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, there were no issues. It seems that the Zhusi Yunjian is more reliable than he had imagined.
With the sound of the bell, a moment later, a similar bell rings from a distance, as if echoing.
One sound.
Two sounds.
Three sounds...
The sounds of the bells come from different directions, varying in distance.
At once, the entire Chang'an City's heaven and earth aura were disrupted by the sound of bells.
Countless cultivators were startled and looked up, the black and white auras crisscrossing in the air, creating a massive wave in the profound world that could only be observed by spiritual consciousness!
"There are seven teams stationed in different areas in Chang'an, each with a large bell. Once the bell rings, it is always a significant event, and all teams must respond..."
Chang'an sighed and said softly, "All the powerful warriors and guards have mobilized, so let's not cause trouble with our limited abilities!"
Yuan Xiu nodded approvingly.
On this day, the bell in Chang'an rang incessantly for three quarters.
A secret and grand search and capture swept the entire city of Chang'an. Of course, the common people's understanding of this matter is limited to the four words "search and capture the criminals" spoken by Wuhou.
By evening, things finally came to an end, and some news started to spread among the small teams stationed in various towns and the military strategists.
General Zhenyuan, Li Jingxing, was assassinated in Anping Fang. There were a total of 18 assassins, 7 of them were killed on the spot, while the remaining ones fled in panic. Another 10 were captured and handed over for personal interrogation by General Zhenyuan.
There is only one person, whose whereabouts are unknown.
