Chapter 1331

Others might not know Wang Xingyi's background, but Qingyang was once the Chief National Master of Beijia, so of course she knew that this Great National Master of the enemy country was a person from Lingshan!

No, that's not right. Wang Xingyi has come into contact with countless people, and He Xiao might not necessarily be related to Lingshan.

However, how did he get connected with Wang Xingyi? He Yang continued to report: "Currently, the Crown Prince of Chiyan, Fu Shanyue, is also on the Yangshan Archipelago."

Qingyang raised her eyebrows: "What did he go there for?"

He Xiao once served as the special envoy of Chiyan and had a very good personal friendship with the Crown Prince of Chiyan. With Fu Shanyue's unreliable personality, it doesn't seem strange for him to run to the Yangshan Archipelago.

But for a mere small island, and He Xiao as a mere island master, to actually get involved with the National Master of Beijia, the National Master of the Mou Nation, and the Crown Prince of Chiyan, this is not something an ordinary person can do.

Now He Xiao has even run to the Shining Gold Plain to stir up the grievances between the Situ family and the Pijia people.

What kind of ulterior motive does this bastard have?

Qingyang knew that if a matter looks abnormal, chaotic, contradictory, and unreasonable, it means there are too many secrets hidden within it.

She frowned for a long time without saying a word.

Since she came to the Yao Nation, He Yang rarely saw her pondering like this, so he couldn't help but ask: "Palace Master, should we send someone to contact He Xiao to obtain further intelligence?"

Qingyang is no longer the Master of the Green Palace of Beijia, but the way these confidants address her remains unchanged.

"No!" Qingyang shook her head immediately, "For someone with too many secrets and too much trouble, it's best to kill them with one strike!"

People you hate should die.

Over the past hundred years, how many complicated troubles has she handled? Sometimes, killing cleanly is the optimal solution. No matter how intricate it is, as long as you take a knife and cut off that knot, all the thousands of threads will be broken together.

If He Xiao can't pass the Pijia people's test, she will consider it as having vented a little bit of her evil spirit.

Only if He Xiao can survive will he be qualified for her to pay attention and launch an investigation.

She was pondering here when the small golden bell worn on her left hand suddenly rang.

These three golden bells are no larger than red beans, exquisite and cute, and hollowed out in the middle.

But as soon as they rang, Qingyang stood up immediately and walked towards her residence.

Her hermitage is only fifty steps away from the lake, with mountains behind and water in front, and the courtyard is deep and secluded. The old pear trees are in full bloom, shoulder-to-shoulder with the three-story eaves, and when the warm wind blows by the lake, it is a sky full of fragrant snow.

The study faces south and has a long table. Qingyang waved her attendants away, closed the doors and windows, and placed a small statue on the table.

Then, she personally lit six sticks of incense and muttered words in her mouth.

The smoke was solitary and straight, condensing in the room without dispersing, and there was even a small pause, as if time had stood still.

Then the smoke ball shrank smaller and smaller until it formed a blurry face.

"True Lord Tongming."

A low voice rang directly from her heart: "Three things!"

"Please speak."

Qingyang's attitude towards it was even more gentle and polite than when she was in Lingxu City.

In the Elixir of Immortality case, True Lord Tongming helped her fight for lenient treatment—although it was based on common interests.

Now she is no longer the Great National Master of Beijia, and True Lord Tongming is still a high and mighty Heavenly God.

Although they still take what they need from each other, their status has quietly changed.

"In the past five months, the Nightmare Qi obtained by the Tianluo Star has been scarcer than usual, especially on the Shining Gold Plain."

Qingyang was startled: "How is this possible? The chaos on the Shining Gold Plain is the same as always. Vendettas, wars, and regime changes are all present."

"But the Nightmare Qi collected by the Tianluo Star on the Shining Gold Plain is indeed not enough." True Lord Tongming said, "You also know that the perception of the Tianluo Star is very vague, but it will not be wrong."

Qingyang tightened her face: "Could it be that you... could it be that there are too many Punishment Dragon Pillars active nearby, and the Nightmare Qi has been divided up."

The Shining Gold Plain is famous for its turmoil, and Qingyang also knows that the Heavenly Realm has not been peaceful recently; Heavenly Gods from all walks of life are breaking their heads for Nightmare Qi and are sending believers here.

Wherever there is a war, these believers grab the Punishment Dragon Pillars and rush there, like a school of sharks chasing the smell of blood.

They are frantically swallowing the Nightmare Qi that belongs to all Heavenly Gods; in terms of greed, they are no less than humans. How do they have the face to blame her for not doing things well now? "You should work harder." True Lord Tongming said gloomily, "Otherwise, the next one to remind you will not be me."

Qingyang was startled.

The Demon Emperor sent her to supervise the Yao Nation, not to let her retire here.

If she has no achievements, she will have to face the wrath of thunder.

"Yes!" She took a deep breath, "I understand."

True Lord Tongming continued: "The second thing, the Tiangong has sent Bai Ziqi to the Shining Gold Plain."

"Bai Ziqi?" Qingyang frowned, "A dignified Capital Cloud Envoy, sent to the Shining Gold Plain to chase shadows? Could it be that that old thing doesn't get along with him and specifically threw him over here."

"The Lingxu Holy Venerable and Miaozhan Tian believe that there is something tricky in this, and it might even be related to the Great Fanghu."

Qingyang's eyes flickered.

She knew very well that if it were really related to this treasure, it would not be an exaggeration for the Heavenly Gods and the Tiangong to send the Capital Cloud Envoy himself.

The judgment made by the Lingxu Holy Venerable and Miaozhan Tian should have other bases, which she cannot see. But even if it is "might be," it could set off huge waves on the Shining Gold Plain.

"I heard that there is another reason why Bai Ziqi was sent here: the Dragon Head Totem has also appeared on the Shining Gold Plain."

Dragon Head Totem? Qingyang's memory of nearly two hundred years is really miscellaneous; she spent some effort to dig this term out from the depths of her mind. "This thing, Beijia seemed to have had someone specifically study it before, but there were no results."

"The last place where the Dragon Head Totem was historically recorded and definitely appeared was Panlongcheng."

Qingyang was slightly startled: "What about this time?"

She has experienced countless storms in her life, but the impression Panlongcheng left on her is still unforgettable.

That is a magical and terrifying power, a place that the gods cannot tolerate.

Most importantly, the name Panlongcheng has always been linked to the Great Fanghu.

Dragon Head Totem, Panlongcheng, Great Fanghu, these are all long-standing memories.

"This should have been told to me by you." True Lord Tongming did not hide its dissatisfaction with her.

As the former National Master Qingyang, she should have known everything that happened in Beijia.

Now? She is just an old woman who left her hometown, with poor hearing and vision, unable to even get intelligence within five hundred miles of the Yao Nation, and still needs it, a Heavenly God, to inform her.

Qingyang felt its disdain and cursed it for being snobbish in her heart, but on the surface, she still had to keep a smile.

The longer she contacted the Heavenly Gods, the more she felt that these high and mighty guys were as selfish, petty, and greedy as humans, and sometimes even stupid!

How much difference is there between so-called divinity and human nature? True Lord Tongming then said: "Shizhou Tou and Liuping appeared with Dragon Head Totems on the same day, followed by Hehuagou, Tengxiang, and Daishan. Do you know what happened there?"
