There was a layer of panic throughout the capital.
There are even fewer pedestrians on the road, and everyone is in danger, fearing that disaster will happen to them.
So many people died in one night, and all kinds of rumors were spreading everywhere, getting more and more mysterious.
Some people even raised money and hired masters to practice it.
Li Qingxuan was walking on the streets of the capital city and saw talismans burning all over the streets. Taoist temples and temples that were previously sparse suddenly became prosperous.
"There has been no death for three days. Could it be that the other party has run away?"
Li Qingxuan thought to himself.
"I wonder if Long Qingfeng has found the Medicine King?"
He has been restless these days.
"Your Highness, this is the record of unusual people coming and going from the city gate recently."
Ji Ting brought a booklet.
This is what he transcribed, and they are all people he feels are somewhat suspicious.
"Zhao Teng, the head of the Zhao family?"
Li Qingxuan saw this name at a glance.
Ji Ting explained: "The Zhao family was one of the four major families in the former dynasty, and its status is comparable to that of the winner."
"Later the winner raised an army, and the Zhao family and the other two major families provided money and food to support the winner on the throne."
"After the founding of Daxia, many disciples of the three major families entered the court and became officials."
"It can be said that more than half of the people in the entire Daxia court are directly or indirectly attached to the three major families."
"The winner does not have any clan members. The status of the three major families is higher than that of the clan. The status of the former Ji family is far lower than that of the three major families."
"So that's it." Li Qingxuan understood.
"The reason why you listed Zhao Teng as an abnormal person is because you think he is suspicious?"
Li Qingxuan looked at Ji Ting.
He didn't know much about the affairs of the court.
"My subordinates have investigated and found that before His Highness returned from Beiguguan, people from the three major families had clearly expressed their aggrievement for King Zhenbei and demanded his release."
"Moreover, in recent years, since the late emperor's time, he has deliberately suppressed the three major families, making the three major families' voice in the court increasingly weaker."
"The prince now holds military power and has made great military achievements. If he joins forces with His Majesty, the status of the three major families will become even more unstable."
"So, they took risks?"
Li Qingxuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
"Let's find out what Zhao Teng is doing in the city. Who is he that Zhao Teng can meet in person?"
"Subordinate, go right away."
Ji Ting nodded.
After Ji Ting left, Li Qingxuan walked into Qingzhifang.
Qin Xiaomo has been waiting for a long time.
"I've met the Pavilion Master."
Qin Xiaomo and others hurriedly saluted.
Qin Xiaomo pointed to a woman next to him and introduced to Li Qingxuan: "This is Hu Meier, the master of the Fox Hall."
"I've met the Pavilion Master."
Li Qingxuan glanced at Hu Meier. She was wearing a black tight-fitting suit. Her waist seemed to have been specially modified and tied very tightly. The entire waist looked slender, but she still had a sense of strength.
With a red robe draped behind her, she looked charming but also a bit heroic.
If it were normal times, Li Qingxuan would definitely take a few more glances, but now his wife's affairs made him anxious.
So he asked directly: "Did you find anything?"
Fox Hall is good at spying on information.
"To report to the Pavilion Master, after our investigation, we found that the person who cast the spell to harm people is likely to be in the area north of the city."
"That area is where the powerful people of Great Xia live, but it's not yet certain which house they are in."
"Continue to monitor and find the other party as soon as possible. These people intend to disrupt the capital of Daxia. It is possible that the Forbidden Army and the Tianyi Guards have been checking too closely in the past few days, so the other party has increased their vigilance."
"But the opponent will definitely find an opportunity to cast the spell again. It is most likely to reveal his flaws when he casts the spell."
"Also, check the three major families of the Zhao family, the Yang family and the Dong family."
…
At night, after Huazhi fell asleep, Li Qingxuan walked out of the yard.
Long Qingfeng was away these days, so Ji Ting was responsible for the surrounding defense work.
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
Ji Ting asked when he saw Li Qingxuan coming out and showing up.
"Go find the person behind the scenes."
"Your Highness knows where the mastermind behind the scenes is?"
Ji Ting asked curiously.
"I probably know a location. After so many days, no matter how cunning a fox is, I can't help but show up."
After saying that, he jumped directly onto the roof and headed towards the north of the city.
Ji Ting wanted to follow him, but his mission was to protect His Majesty the Emperor, so he could only look back and sigh.
Li Qingxuan jumped on the roof a few times and arrived on the street.
Qin Xiaomo and others are already waiting here.
"Did you find anything?"
Li Qingxuan asked.
"Not yet, but it is said that witchcraft has the best effect in the middle of the night when the yin energy is the strongest. It is already very close to midnight."
"what is that?"
Li Qingxuan suddenly felt something and looked to the northwest.
There was a powerful energy fluctuation coming from there.
Immediately, Li Qingxuan's figure swept towards that direction.
Qin Xiaomo and others followed closely behind.
In the yard, an old man with a withered face fell into Li Qingxuan's sight.
The opponent was holding a wooden staff with a skull on it, and it seemed that the skull was not carved on it, but seemed real.
Murderous intent surged out of Li Qingxuan's body like a tide, and a demonic sun rose across the sky behind him.
The billowing demonic energy instantly spread from the roof and enveloped the entire yard.
There was a look of fear on the face of the withered old man.
"Are you a member of the Demon Sect?"
His voice was hoarse, mixed with a bit of shock.
Suddenly he turned into a black shadow and ran away in the opposite direction of Li Qingxuan.
"Where to escape!"
Li Qingxuan roared angrily, swung his palm out and struck it down horizontally.
The old man hit Li Qingxuan's palm and was forced back to the center of the yard.
At the same time, Li Qingxuan jumped down from the roof and activated his magic power, directly sealing off the surroundings of the old man.
He slapped the palm of his hand and knocked the old skeleton back several steps.
The old man stared at Li Qingxuan with fear in his eyes.
"How to undo a witchcraft that has been cast?"
Li Qingxuan asked coldly.
"Haha, do you want to save the emperor? Let's catch me first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly turned into a black smoke and disappeared into the yard.
On the house, Qin Xiaomo and the people from Langya Pavilion had surrounded him from all sides, but they could not find the old man's shadow.
"Pavilion Master, we have sealed the surrounding area. It is impossible for him to escape. It should be an illusion that can hide the aura."
Qin Xiaomo reminded.
Li Qingxuan smiled slightly.
Behind Li Qingxuan, a shadow appeared silently.
When Qin Xiaomo and the others appeared, he knew that he could not escape.
Li Qingxuan's strength also frightened him, so he had to sneak attack, use his body skills to get close, and severely injure Li Qingxuan with one move.
However, just when he was about to take action, Li Qingxuan suddenly turned his head, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything and locked his position.
At this moment, the old man seemed to see a supreme god dominating the heaven and earth.
"How is it possible? How could he find himself."
The next moment, the old man launched an attack without hesitation.
"whispering sound."
The skull spit out black smoke and swirled towards Li Qingxuan.
Such a move does not seek to kill the enemy, as long as it distracts Li Qingxuan, he can hide in the darkness again.
However, a palm flashing with thunder appeared.
"Boom."
Shoot the smoke away directly.
"What's this?"
A huge phantom of an idol crashed directly into it.
The old man had no time to resist, and was hit in the chest. He flew backwards and spit out a mouthful of blood. The bricks under his feet were cracked like spider webs by his steps.
"Fight."
The old man knew that he might not be able to leave here alive today, and the aura in his body completely exploded.
In the darkness, black air lingered on the wooden staff, and the huge skull was filled with vibrations.
Although he is not a pure martial artist at the peak of the eighth rank, his methods are weird and he is even more difficult to deal with.
"Pavilion Master, be careful!"
Hu Meier reminded loudly.
Even Qin Xiaomo and others were enraged and ready to take action at any time.
However, Li Qingxuan's expression was extremely calm.
When the opponent's attack approached, the energy in his body suddenly burst out.
Dragon Elephant has the power to suppress prison.
A terrifying energy exploded in Li Qingxuan's body and continued to expand in the air.
"call."
It formed a huge phantom of the idol, roaring like an ancient wild beast, directly destroying all attacks and shrouding the old man.
