The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1671: Investigation

“I know what you’re worried about, but rest assured, traveling from Chang’an City to the Kingdom of Qingqiu takes only a moment. If anything happens, we won’t just sit back and do nothing. Besides, there are already several Taiyi Realm cultivators in Chang’an City right now, so you don’t need to worry too much,” Fairy Qinglian glanced at Shen Luo and said.

“Aside from you, Elder, and Elder Cheng Yaojin from the Great Tang Dynasty Government, Elder Yuan Tiangang—are there other Taiyi Realm cultivators?” Shen Luo asked in astonishment.

“The Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing from the Heavenly Palace and Kongdu Zen Master from Hua Sheng Temple are here as well,” Fairy Qinglian nodded slightly.

“Five Taiyi Realm cultivators are stationed here, and they’re all close to the Great Tang Dynasty Government. This must not simply be to deal with any potential incidents from the Kingdom of Qingqiu, right?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo furrowed his brows and remarked.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Qinglian’s gaze toward Shen Luo showed a trace of hidden approval.

“You guessed correctly. The influence of the Chang’an Fox Chaos has not been completely eradicated. In fact, Chang’an City has not been peaceful recently. In the span of just a dozen days, several officials from the Astronomical Bureau have been successively assassinated and killed,” she said.

“Why assassinate officials from the Astronomical Bureau?” Shen Luo asked in confusion.

“It’s not clear yet. However, these Astronomical Bureau officials share one common trait: they were all engaged in underground hydrology investigations to repair Chang’an City. Yuan Tiangang even divined a hexagram for this matter. Afterward, he invited a few of us to remain in Chang’an City to assist with the investigation, just in case,” Fairy Qinglian replied.

Having heard this, Shen Luo felt a slight unease rise in his heart. But knowing that the elders were overseeing the matter, he didn’t dwell on it too much.
