North City Jin family, backyard, second floor of the small building.
The blazing golden light faded.
The dim lights flickered again, and the distorted black shadows between the windows had disappeared, replaced by a blood-stained long knife!
On the long sword, there was a shriveled human skin!
There was bright red blood dripping from it!
The clothes on the human skin were exactly the ones worn by the "Saint Lady of the Western Regions"!
With the long knife in hand, Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, swung the knife sideways, and grabbed the bloody human skin shirt with his other hand, with golden light jumping in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the ceiling exploded with the movement of his feet, and his figure appeared above the courtyard the next second, with blazing eyes.
He quickly inspected the courtyard, then looked down at the blood-stained human skin shirt in his hand, his eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness.
Holy religion!
Saint!
A monster in human skin!
These people seemed to be the ones that Ange had mentioned at Tianxiong Pass, the Western Region Holy Church that had discovered the Divine Ruins.
And the martial spirit that resides in the body of this woman who calls herself a "saint" seems to be the "monster" that Ange mentioned!
It seems that this thing is the power that the Holy Church found from the Ruins of God!
It was his first encounter, and it was so strange and difficult that he was not sure whether he had killed the man.
Even the incense marker has lost its lock!
This feeling of uncertainty was like a thorn in Chen Yuan's throat.
Fire flickered in his eyes, and he clenched his palms. A wisp of flame ignited and burned the bloody human skin clothes on his hands. A disgusting rotten stench was blown away by the wind as Chen Yuan flicked his sleeves.
Then Chen Yuan put his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing in the night, looking at the courtyard below, pondering the words that the androgynous guy had just said.
Is Beiliang connected to the Holy Religion of the Western Regions?
That prince was also involved in this incident?
Also, why did this group of people from Beiliang disappear? Where did they go?
Chen Yuan's mind turned, and finally he looked towards the front yard that was disturbed, with an unfriendly look.
...............
"Rumble"
"Rumble"
"drive"
"drive"
"... "
"According to the order of the Ninth Mountain Army, the Jin family is suspected of colluding with the evil cult. All of them will be imprisoned and await trial. If anyone disobeys, they will be killed without mercy!"
Not long after, in the windy and snowy night, the rumbling sound of horses’ hooves galloped towards the Jin family in North City.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic and cold shout came from outside the Jin family.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang".
The vermilion gate of the Jin family was knocked down with a bang, followed by the soldiers of the North City Garrison rushing into the Jin family compound with exclamations.
Then, those armored men rushed into the rooms of the Jin family with ferocious looks on their faces, like wolves entering a flock of sheep, and arrested the panicked figures one by one.
"How dare you? This is where His Highness Beiliang is staying. Aren't you afraid of disturbing His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"You are making up a false accusation. His Royal Highness is in the backyard. I want to see His Royal Highness."
"........."
A few members of the Jin family failed to see the situation clearly. They held swords in their hands, with expressions of shock and anger on their faces, and openly resisted the arrest by the North City Garrison. They threatened the garrison troops with the title of Prince of Beiliang, and even clamored to let the prince make the decision for them.
In the end, the prince didn't wait, but instead heard a sharp whistle breaking through the air, and a red armor fell from the sky. The garrison commander of the North City Garrison Division came in person to execute the arrest order issued by the Ninth Mountain.
"If you dare to disobey my order, you will be killed!"
The North City garrison commander wanted to make an example of someone and attacked like an angry lion, directly killing several people who disobeyed his orders.
This thunderous measure, coupled with the reputation of the Ninth Mountain, directly suppressed this small disturbance.
Soon, figures were brought out from the brightly lit gate of the Jin family compound, causing many people outside in the night and snow to stare at the movements here in confusion.
Among them, there was one man who was wearing a purple loose robe with dark patterns embroidered on the corners. He was thin, had a long and narrow face, and had a bit of evil in his eyes and eyebrows.
This person is none other than the retainer of the Crown Prince of Beiliang, nicknamed Minister Wu.
At this time, Minister Wu saw the Jin family being arrested by the garrison troops. His evil eyebrows could not help but flash, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Then the man turned and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
About half an incense stick of time later, Minister Wu ran to an inconspicuous courtyard in the south city near Yunding Mountain.
Then he quickly walked to the door of a side room with a light on, pushed it open and walked in.
Then he knelt on one knee, facing the prince of Beiliang who was wearing a python robe, and bowed with both hands, and reported:
"Your Highness, the Jin family is now being hunted down by the North City Garrison Department!"
"We are following the orders of the Ninth Mountain!"
"It seems that as you expected, the Ninth Mountain General has not lost contact and has a backup plan. The Saintess of the Western Regions just wants to drag you into this."
At the top, Beiliang Prince Tuoba Shuo frowned slightly after listening to the report, but his expression did not show much surprise.
The night before yesterday, the Saint Lady from the Western Regions came to the door and intercepted the Eight Hundred Li Express from the Ninth Mountain. She got the news that Jiu Zhonglang was not in the Ninth Mountain, and wanted him to help.
The saint lady repeatedly expressed her intention to compete with Chen Yuan, but the other party refused to explain the reason.
Of course he wouldn't get involved in this mess!
So on the night when the other party came to his door, he took his men and quietly left the backyard of the Jin family, for fear that the other party would do something stupid!
Because he had fought with the Ninth Mountain General several times, he knew very well that when dealing with such a person, he should either not provoke him easily, or kill him with one blow when he was absolutely sure!
Otherwise, it's very dangerous!
So he ignored the saint and stayed away from trouble and danger.
Then, he got the news about what happened tonight and sent people to check with the Jin family, and it turned out to be true.
"It seems that we have been sold out by that saint!" Beiliang Prince Tuoba Shuo was not angry, but instead had a hint of sarcasm.
“Your Highness, someone saw it with their own eyes. It seemed that the saint lady was not…” Minister Wu thought of something at this moment. His expression became very strange and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Not a woman?" Tuoba Shuo turned his head and spoke calmly.
"Your Highness knew this?" Minister Wu was a little surprised, and then his expression became a little unnatural. The saint was mysterious, full of charm that made people unable to help but bow down to her. As a man, he had had some thoughts about this before, but now when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
However, Tuoba Shuo slowly shook his head and said, "No, she is a woman. It's just that the practice of this saint is weird and strange. She will become a different person every few days when she wakes up, including but not limited to men and women."
If he really didn't know the background of this "Saint Lady", then he was underestimating the strength of the Beiliang Palace!
After saying this, the Prince of Beiliang continued,
"It seems that we should not stay here for long, lest we get into trouble. Let them fight on. Send a message and set off to Taiping County overnight to see what the mountain is like."
