  The location of the Sorcerers Gathering was in the center of the Northern Xia Royal Capital.

  In Northern Xia, the most powerful ability in the world belonged to the Great Wizard. The Great Wizard had a very high level of cultivation. With the power that mortals could not imagine, the dynasty was pale in comparison. The royal family even reached the point of paying tribute to the Great Wizard.

  As for the prisoners in prison, even the common people of good families were offered to the wizards to test blood poison, it was not uncommon.

  This was very different from Southern Xia.

  In Southern Xia, the status of common people was also very high, but after all, common people have a particular state of mind and will not look down on mortals. Moreover, the chief leader of Immortal Dao was even a subordinate to the Emperor. Lin Shu didn’t know how to do it.

  As the carriage went on, the street widened.

  It was early in the morning, and the full moon had not yet set in the western sky.

  Ling Fengxiao looked out of the window and said, “After she is born on the moon, she will be born on the third year plan, and the next one will be born on the five year plan. The word “Ying” is also good.”

  Lin Shu automatically echoed: “Not bad.”

  Over the past few days, Big Miss had been keen on naming her two daughters, however, Lin Shu still did not know where they were.

  This person is very particular about naming. Although the names of plants and trees were beautiful, they were vulgar on one hand and not long-term on the other. They can’t use the names of flowers, willows, and herbs. Even if they want to use them, they must use the names of evergreen trees, such as pine, cypress, bamboo, and banyan. If you want to use jade, you must also use a clear and beautiful stone, such as the genus of Hengli Juelang.

  As for the words with deep meaning, there are more, like Ping, Ning, Hong, Wei, and Shu——

  Lin Shu’s life these days was sluggishly listening to Big Miss sorting out a huge number of words, and then being asked: “Which one sounds good?”

  The difficulty was as great as distinguishing the subtle differences between lipstick colors.

  The most difficult thing was that there was not one girl, but two. It takes two good names that echo each other.

  When his master named himself, he didn’t seem to have gone through such a big setback.

  The old man might have just been twirling his beard and said, “Those who are leisurely, are far away and divided. Far from the world, not minding earthly matters, infinitely popular, without any concern. Your name is Shu.”

  He thought again, he didn’t know how to take out the word Fengxiao.

  Ling’s generation of girls, like Ling Baoqing, Baochen, and Baojing, the word in the middle is Bao, but Big Miss’ name was not.

  Could it be that if there was a “treasure” in the middle, it was too imposing?

  Ling Baoxiao?

  It was not as good as Ling Fengxiao.

  He thought about it, a little smile appeared in his eyes, and Ling Fengxiao caught him: “What are you smiling at?”

  Lin Shu was very honest: “Why is there no “bao” in your name?”

  The expression on Ling Fengxiao’s face went blank for a moment.

  Then, he said: “Don’t talk about it.”

  Lin Shu: “?”

  He tilted his head: “Why?”

  “The name with the word ‘Bao’ was taken out by your master.” Ling Fengxiao said stiffly, “It’s really hard to be elegant. Don’t talk about it.”

  Lin Shu was very curious.

  But seeing Big Miss’s expression as if she wanted to eat a child, he didn’t ask any further.

  Difficult to be elegant?

  Can he still call her Ling Baobao?

  No way. Taoyuan Jun was not as illiterate as he was.

  Ling Fengxiao said: “Therefore, I can’t name my daughters at will.”

  Well, it’s back to naming.

  All the way, they arrived at the occasion of the Sorcerers Gathering.

  \r \r \r

  ——This place was a magnificent high platform in front of a black tower that goes straight into the sky.

  It was said that the Great Wizard would sit on the high platform, accepting the worship and sacrifices of all the people in the world.

  On both sides of the high platform, there were some people playing music. The white bone-horn sound had a special texture, sounding vast and distant.

  Under the light from Xiao Xuan, the two of them were in a very good position and could see everything on the high platform.

  There was a high bone-chair in the middle of the high platform, but it was empty.

  Xiao Xuan asked the black robe wizard standing next to him: “Has the Great Wizard not descended from the tower yet?”

  The wizard said: “The Great Wizard has not yet left seclusion.”

  Xiao Xun’s face became a little chilly at once. After a while, he said again, “In the last few years of the Sorcerers Gathering, the Great Wizard has always been there.”

  The wizard said, “I don’t know the sun and the moon when he cultivates in seclusion. If the Great Wizard can’t leave out of seclusion, there will be the two guardians to preside over it.”

  Xiao Xuan: “Why didn’t they tell the court?”

  The wizard said with a strange smile: “The court doesn’t give the Great Wizard any face, why should the Great Wizard tell you everything?”

  Xiao Xuan’s face turned grim.

  Even Lin Shu could guess why his face turned grim.

  According to the information they gathered from the wizard’s mouth, to decide whether to use the new blood poison, the Northern Xia imperial court and the Great Wizard had a conflict and fell into a deadlock.

  Now, the Great Wizard obviously doesn’t want to deal with the imperial court. He doesn’t even appear at the Sorcerers Gathering, in which he receives tribute from all parties.

  ——The imperial court intended to offer to the Great Wizard the secret script that Xiao Xuan had bought at a high price.

  However, the Great Wizard could not even show his face, which made the royal family lose face.

  And the Great Wizard’s attitude is like this, it’s no wonder that the wizard under him talks so surly.

  Lin Shu could clearly see that Xiao Xuan’s hand was squeezing the armrest of the seat, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged and trembled slightly. It took a long time for the incense to let go, and his face barely returned to normal.

  The Sorcerers Gathering would start, as usual, presided over by the two left and right guardians.

  It was rumored that the realm of the right and left guardians of the Great Wizard are at the level of crossing the tribulation.

  If the guardians were like this, the power of the Great Wizard was even more terrifying.

  With the sound of the horn, all the mortals present, the evil Dao sects, the famous sorcerers, and even the princes and princesses of the Northern Xia Dynasty went forward to offer their treasures.

  There were countless treasures of gold and silver, treasures of heaven and earth, and rare materials.

  The great wizard may not be able to use them, but the tribute must be sufficient, otherwise, it is close to frivolous disobedience.

  Lin Shu looked at the various treasures and opened his eyes.

  However, it seemed as though the treasures were not enough, someone actually offered living things.

  The living creature was very large. It’s one foot long and one foot high. It was all black, like an ox, but also not like an ox, or like an alligator but also not like an alligator.

  This was a Na Lingkui. The wizard who offered the living things to the left and right guardians had found the creature on the coast of the Bohai Sea.

  The right guardian asked what was special about this beast.

  The wizard replied that this beast could swallow the sun and the moon.

  The right guardian said, “Please perform.”

  The wizard took out a bone whistle and gave a long blow.

  When the Na Lingkui heard the whistle, its throat roared out a deafening thunder.

  In an instant, there were flying sand and rocks, the world dimmed, for a moment, the surroundings became pitch black with no fingers in sight, and people could only hear the exclamation of people.

  The right guardian said, “Wonderful, when will it fade?”

  The wizard said, “After a stick of incense.”

  Some people made a fire fold but found that when the fire of the fire fold was lit up, it was only hot, but there was no light.

  Lin Shu’s hand was caught by the Big Miss to prevent him from getting lost.

  In a daze in the dark, he suddenly felt a cool wind blowing by his side!

  Intuition told him that this was not a usual wind!

  Next, a voice rang in his head.

  “The goods have arrived. Let’s clear up. Take care of it.”

  Shadowless!

  In the dark, he felt that his hand was grasped by Big Miss and went to a place. Then he touched a cold thing that seemed to be a bottle.

  The blood poison sample was indeed obtained without a trace.

  Before he had time to think of anything else, that voice rang in his head again.

  “There’s another thief here, but he’s not very skillful. He’s not as good as me. Just be careful. That’s all. Goodbye.”

  Another thief?

  What’s that?

  Before he could think about it clearly, the wind blew again and disappeared in a flash.

  The next moment, the light was back in the field.

  The right guardian rewarded the wizard.

  Ling Fengxiao pinched Lin Shu’s finger. Lin Shu knew it was time to slip away.

  It coincided that Xiao Xuan was the next one to go up to offer his treasure. As soon as he left, they immediately found a way to get into the crowd. They planned to leave the capital and go as far away as possible before the right guardian noticed that the blood poison had been stolen.

  Then ——they heard Xiao Xuan’s voice from a distance.

  “It’s said that the great wizard likes to collect all kinds of skill books, and Xiao Xujin offers a secret book from heaven.”

  Heaven and earth are mysterious and the character of heaven is the highest. The secret script of heaven is the one that can be cultivated to ascend.

  The right guardian was obviously interested: “What kind of method is it?”

  Xiao Xuan replied: “《Part of Ten Thousand Creation》.”

  The words came to his ears, Lin Shu was taken aback, and felt Ling Fengxiao’s movements pause.

  Part of Ten Thousand Creation!

  How could the secret exercises of Dream Hall appear on the black market and then be bought by Xiao Xuan in Northern Xia?

  Stolen?

  ——That’s right, Yue Ruohe!

  Yue Ruohe sneaked into Northern Xia as a wizard, trying to get back 《Part of Ten Thousand Creation》?

  But he didn’t know where this technique was, so he searched at the place where the wizards traded, but failed.

  Senior Shadowless had just said that there was still a thief here.

  Could it be Yue Ruohe who wanted to get the secret script back?

  But there were two big guardians gathered here. How can he get them?

  They stopped, Ling Fengxiao turned back, looking at the high platform, her body taut and was on guard.

  The right guardian said, “I might as well take a look.”

  Xiao Xuan took out the secret script.

  At that moment, there was a gust of wind.

  The Buddha had an invisible hand and snatched the secret script from Xiao Xuan’s hand——then the secret book suddenly disappeared without a trace!

  The Dream Hall’s internal strength, that’s it!

  He heard the right protector snort coldly: “A trivial trick.”

  He saw him wave the sleeves of his robe, and in an instant, the field was filled with bloody fog, and thousands of ghosts hissed in the fog.

  After a few breaths, someone said: “Over there!”

  On the eaves of the houses in the distance, a shadowy black phantom appeared.

  Lin Shu went to see Ling Fengxiao subconsciously, and saw that Ling Fengxiao had taken out a sword!

  Big Miss pressed her right hand on the scabbard, obviously ready to help at any time.

  But that sword was not the “Identical Sorrow” that this person usually used.

  It was also well known that the eldest lady of Phoenix Mountain Villa was the owner of “Identical Sorrow”. If she ever used it again, it was equivalent to revealing her identity,

  But now it was dark. It was full of blood and evil. He seemed familiar with it.

  It is ——”Guiltless!”
