Weiyang Palace.

Shangguan Yourong walked quickly into Fenglin Hall.

"To report to the Empress, yesterday the Nine Ghosts of Night Evil ambushed Li Xingci on the way..."

Fairy Weisheng stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"

Fenglin Hall seemed to have entered the cold winter in an instant, with a thick layer of ice forming on the pillars in the hall.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yourong said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, Empress, Li Xingci is fine, Jiu Gui is dead."

Fairy Weisheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Can you tell me the result directly next time?"

"I know I was wrong in my humble position."

Shangguan Yourong was also a little helpless. Who knew you had such a big reaction before you finished speaking.

Fairy Weisheng looked at the lychee in her hand: "Who killed the Nine Ghosts?"

"this……"

After a brief pause, Shangguan Yourong replied.

"The humble job is under investigation."

Bang, the lychee was thrown back into the plate.

"There's no need to check. It's been too long. I think some people have forgotten the taste of fear."

There was a distortion in the space, and a red dress disappeared into the hall.

Shangguan Yourong's tense body slowly relaxed. I don't know since when, Li Xingci became the empress's enemy.

The authorities are obsessive, and the empress may not even notice it herself, but she can clearly feel this change.

…

On the way, Ling Xun began to study the space network.

After searching for the Nine Ghosts, he already knew how to use the Space Network.

This is a high-level spiritual weapon, its main function is to restrain the enemy.

When returning to the Qinglong Sect, no one noticed anything unusual, and it suddenly appeared in mid-air.

When Jiugui saw him, he threw his net into the air to hide it, and then waited for it to wither.

This is exactly another characteristic of the space network, concealment.

It can not only block space, but also hide in space.

Just by activating the magic formula, it can be completely hidden and cannot be detected.

Only by closing the net can the true face of black be revealed.

This net can also change the size at will, and it can be easily caught in a net as big as a white leaf.

"What a wonderful treasure."

A drop of blood flew out from Li Xingci's forehead and fell into the space network.

As the essence and blood disappeared, a strange connection was established between him and this spiritual weapon.

With a thought, the space network suddenly shrank.

…

Capital.

On the long street, there was a large flow of people.

After Li Xingci entered the capital, he went straight to the Imperial Academy.

Xu Shensong, as the chief priest, must usually stay in Taixue.

However, after arriving at Taixue, I discovered that there was no one here.

He stopped a young man in a hurry on the street.

"Why is there no one in the Imperial Academy today?"

The young man was holding a huge brocade box in his arms and was about to get angry when he was stopped.

After looking up and seeing that face, his aura immediately weakened by three points.

"Today is the birthday of Taixue Grand Prix Liquor. All the students have gone to congratulate the Grand Priest Liquor House."

"Xu Shensong?"

"Don't call the Grand Sacrificial Wine by its name." The young man looked horrified.

It would be disrespectful to call the grand sacrificial wine by its name.

Li Xingci let go of the man and stared at the box in his arms.

"What's in here?"

"A gift for the great sacrifice of wine."

Li Xingci took the box and opened it. Inside was a very exquisite jade ornament.

When the young man saw Li Xingci taking out the ornaments in the box, he felt a little distressed.

"Master Li, I saved up for a year to buy this."

Li Xingci ignored it and threw the ornament into the young man's arms.

"I want this box."

Wearing a white robe and walking on the street, she quickly attracted people's attention.

"Li Xingci, why did he come to the capital?"

"You're not here to beat the Dengwen drum again, are you?",

"I guess there will be another good show this time."

"I heard that today Shangguan Yundu came out of seclusion to challenge Mu Xiufeng, who is number one on the Qianlong Ranking. Here, Li Xingci comes to Beijing again. It's really a lively day today."

"Although Li Xingci is considered a leader among the younger generation, he is still far behind those two."

…

Today, Xu Mansion is very lively.

Taixue held a grand ceremony for Xu Shensong's birthday, and there was an endless stream of people coming to Xu's Mansion to congratulate him.

"Congratulations on the grand sacrificial wine."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li, please come in quickly."

"You are as blessed as the East Sea, and your life is as long as the Southern Mountains."

"Brother Lin, long time no see, please come inside."

"Congratulations on the grand sacrificial wine."

"Thank you, thank you very much. Please come in."

Li Xingci held a brocade box in his arms and walked to Xu Shensong, who was waiting for guests in front of the hall.

"Congratulations on the grand sacrificial wine."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Xu Shensong's face froze when he saw this person who shouldn't be here.

In just a short moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Why does Li Xingci appear here?

Did Jiugui miss it?

How is it possible that a seventh-level Nascent Soul cannot kill a little Golden Core cultivator?

After all, Xu Shensong had been involved in the court situation for many years, and his expression quickly returned to normal.

"Master Li, please come in quickly."

Li Xingci presented the brocade box with both hands: "I hope you won't dislike it as a congratulatory gift for the grand ceremony."

"Thank you very much. Please come in." Xu Shensong took the brocade box.

Wearing a white robe, he stood still and didn't move.

"I brought this gift from Yunzhou. Why don't you open the grand sacrificial wine and take a look?"

The people who came to congratulate him also noticed something was wrong.

Li Xingci appeared here, looking out of place.

The guests who came today are firstly colleagues from the imperial court, secondly disciples and former officials, and thirdly relatives and friends.
