Zhang Ronghua watched with relish. He drank the First Grade Drunk and ate the dishes cooked with demon beast meat. He would occasionally relax. It was a form of enjoyment to balance work and rest.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
Seeing that there were less than four hours before dawn, Zhang Ronghua said, “”Stop. ”
Hearing this.
Zhu Yue heaved a sigh of relief. She was also very tired from the high-intensity dance and singing, and she could not use her cultivation to recover. She bowed and asked respectfully, “Are you going back?”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
She gritted her teeth and pressed her tongue against her lips as if she was making a decision. Xiao Yue’s mother told her that if she could let Zhang Ronghua stay for the night, she could still win his favor and occupy a place in his heart. Perhaps she could leave the Education Bureau and enter Zhang Manor to become his concubine.
Although concubines had no status or title, they could see the sun and live under it. If they were lucky enough to give birth to a son or daughter, the mother would be able to rise to fame with her son.
She had also thought about this problem. If she was imprisoned in the Education Bureau, even if the Candle Dragon clan sent experts to rescue her, they would not be able to save her in the capital. They would have to pay for it.
This was the only way out.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhanz Ronzhua stood up. He zathered his courage and made up his mind. Lowering his head, he clasped his hands together and said, “You, you can stay tonight?”
Zhang Ronghua was quite surprised. He looked at her and blushed so much that her face had reached her ears. From left to right, she was as beautiful as the sunset, and there was even a hint of shyness. Coupled with her exquisite and delicate face, and her current dress, she was extremely charming.
Shaking his head, he calmly said, “I’m very busy! ‘”‘
Leaving her with his back view, he opened the door and left.
He left the Jiaofang Department.
The military marquis came up to him with a fawning expression.”Sir, do you want me to call a carriage?”
“No need.” Zhang Ronghua shook his head.
He lifted his feet and left, heading towards his home in the Vermilion Bird Lane.
A group of uninvited guests also entered the capital from the North City at this moment. The one in the lead was an old Daoist priest in a green Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. Behind him stood a few white-haired elders with white beards. They also wore Daoist robes and looked up to him. On their chests were two small golden words, “Shangqing”. If there were any sect experts here, they would be able to recognize them at a glance. They were from the Shangqing Dao Sect. The old Daoist priest in the lead said, He was the sect master of Shangqing Dao Sect, Daoist Shangqing. His cultivation was unfathomable and his methods were tyrannical. In his generation at Shangqing Mountain, he had a great reputation. His prestige was even higher than the local government.
He was even more famous in the martial world and among demons and ghosts.
In his left hand was a golden compass with ancient inscriptions carved on it. It was the size of an adult’s palm and had a needle in the middle. It was called the Myriad Treasure Compass. It was an auxiliary spiritual treasure and had a very strong tracking effect. After pouring the other party’s blood into it and activating it with a secret technique, one could find the direction the other party fled in.
He took out a jade bottle that contained the Time Treasure-Seeking Mouse’s blood. He poured a drop on it and put it away. He made a hand seal with both hands and used a secret technique to activate the Myriad Treasure Compass. Golden light bloomed and enveloped it. The needle spun quickly. After a while, it pointed in a direction where the Time Treasure-Seeking Mouse was hiding.
Daoist Shangqing’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said viciously,””Bastard! Let’s see how you escape this time!”
He put away the Thousand Treasure Compass and brought them to the hiding place of the Time Treasure -Seeking Mouse.
Not long after they left, another group of people arrived and appeared at the place where they were before. The difference was that this time, they were not humans, but demons and ghosts. Their bodies were filled with a strong demonic aura, and they did not emit a trace of it. The leader was a middle-aged man called Heavenly Tiger King, the leader of the Heavenly Tiger Tribe. Looking in the direction where Daoist Shangqing had left, the corners of his mouth curled up as he sneered, “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the yellow bird behind. Never in your dreams would you have thought that this king would bring people to follow behind you.”
A tiger demon looked at the huge capital city with fear on his face. He said the worry in his heart, “Patriarch, this is the capital. If we behave atrociously here, will we get ourselves involved?”
Heavenly Tiger King was stunned. He had thought about this question before. He had guessed it from the direction the Time Treasure-Seeking Mouse had escaped in, but he had never thought too deeply about it. Now that his clansmen had brought it up, he had no choice but to face reality.
This was the administrative center of the Grand Xia Dynasty, and there were countless experts here, especially the True Dragon Palace and the other four departments. Their existence was to suppress them, and if they were discovered, they would only die. However, the treasure in the hands of the Time Treasure-seeking Mouse was too tempting. For it, they had even sacrificed their son. No matter how one looked at it, they couldn’t give up.
With a firm gaze, he said unquestionably, “The capital is so big. As long as we’re careful and don’t let the experts of the Imperial Court discover us, what can they do to us after we get that treasure and leave immediately?”
Facing his murderous gaze, they did not dare to say anything else. If they objected, they would probably die now.
“Let’s go!” Heavenly Tiger King called out.
Back home.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t rush into his room. He stopped by the artificial lake, got into position, mobilized the Righteousness Qi, and began to practice the Great Five Elements Heaven-Splitting Sword Formation with the Righteousness
Sword Technique as the foundation. Hundreds of sword silks formed by the Righteousness Sword condensed into a sword formation under his control. As it operated, it emitted a huge power. He practiced it three times in a row by the lake, followed by the Sky-Trampling Secret Skill and the first change of the True Spirit Treasure Technique, the Candle Dragon Transformation. He also practiced it three times before he stopped..
