Red Heart Survey

Crescent Island is the largest island in the offshore archipelago, and it is also the easternmost of the offshore archipelago.

The whole is in the shape of a crescent moon, with the convex side facing the sea and the concave side facing the offshore islands.

Looking down from a very high place, it seems that you are stretching out your arms and embracing the archipelago.

Therefore, Crescent Moon Island has another name, which is "Huai". The embrace of the embrace is also the embrace of nostalgia.

Be it Huai Island or Crescent Island, the famous Diaohai Tower and Zonglou are located here.

"From the bright moon over the sea, look across the sky from here."

This is the inscription on the cliff of Tianyatai, hence the name Tianyatai.

Legend has it that on the highest Tianya Terrace on this island, the founder of the Diaohai Tower used to fish for dragons with one pole and one pole!

This is also the origin of the name Diaohailou.

Of course, for many people, this is just a legend. It is very common to give money to one's ancestors, even if it is exaggerated, it is not unacceptable.

But the reason why the founding patriarch of Diaohailou is not recognized as history is because the dragon clan has been extinct since the end of the Middle Ages. Naturally, there are forces inherited from the Middle Ages, but Diaohai Tower is not included.

It is not so unusual for the strong Diaohailou to force the strong retreat of Qi with a single word. Diaohailou's tough attitude in the offshore islands is also an important reason why Qi's progress here is slow.

But it's undeniably disturbing.

Qi State has been planning the offshore islands for a long time, although it was once resisted by all the sect forces in the offshore islands and had to announce its withdrawal.

But after returning to the offshore islands with this gentler method, through the sea market trade, with the famous families as the forerunners. After many years of operation, people have to admit that Qi's operations in the offshore islands can already be ranked among the top three among all forces.

Some of the top famous families in Qi State, like the Osawada clan, started to manage the offshore islands a long time ago. Chongxuan Minghe, the fourth son of the current Patriarch of the Chongxuan family, even personally sits in the offshore islands. Not long ago, the Tian family and the Chongxuan family reached a deal to hand over the right to develop Chongjia Island for ten years...

In short, on the offshore islands, Qi's influence cannot be ignored. Of course, Diaohailou's leadership position is also deeply rooted.

The confrontation between Qi State and Diaohailou is undoubtedly confusing.

As the elder of Diaohailou Zonglou, Hai Zongming has no worries about this.

I don't know how many times Diaohailou and Qi's side have confronted in secret, but they rarely put it on the bright side. In the seemingly calm sea, the undercurrents on the bottom of the sea never stop. Until now, Diaohailou still firmly holds the position of the number one power in the offshore islands, which undoubtedly shows the result.

It is true that Qi State is extremely powerful, and looking at the whole world, there are few forces that can match it. But the Eastern Territory is its foundation, and Qi will never be able to fully manage the offshore islands. Unless one day, it is overthrown in the Eastern Region and has to turn to the offshore islands, or completely unify the Eastern Region.

And at sea, who is Diaohailou afraid of?

Diaohailou has the confidence to face everything on the sea, which has been verified by history and will continue in the future.

There was something else bothering him at the moment.

Recently, after several hard work, he found an ancient book. After researching for a long time, some hidden clues in the ancient books were deciphered, and they were verified with the previous harvest, so a new piece of information was discovered.

"In that abandoned sea building, the core treasure is a mirror? A red makeup mirror? I didn't find the mirror when I got the treasure. Was it taken away by someone in advance? But some restrictions have not been destroyed, which means that no one broke into it before. It is."

"wrong!"

Looking back, he immediately thought of the answer.

"Damn it! I was tricked by that brat Hu Shaomeng!"

He stood up furiously: "I want to crush him to ashes!"

But Hu Shaomeng is already dead, and the body has not been brought back, so he has to go to Yangguo to save his bones and ashes. Now that it is the territory of Qi State, it is even more inconvenient.

Hai Zongming calmed himself down.

First of all, he knew about Hu Shaomeng's death. This kid played with the feelings of his fellow senior sisters and even tried to harm him, especially Zhu Suyao, who was quite promising in the sect.

A good seed of cultivation was destroyed by him, and finally lost in the secret realm of Tianfu.

It's okay to do it secretly, but it happened to be discovered by his sister.

This matter is difficult to tolerate, even as an elder, Hai Zongming can't do favoritism. And when the news came back, Hu Shaomeng had already been killed, so there was no need for favoritism.

Zhu Suyao's master, that old godly woman is not easy to mess with.

So he kept silent about Hu Shaomeng's death.

It's just that now that I know the existence of the red makeup mirror, there are some things that need to be reconsidered...

The core question is, who owns the red makeup mirror now?

It is possible that Zhu Suyao is still alive, but her younger sister who has been protected under her wings is absolutely impossible to be Hu Shaomeng's opponent.

Hai Zongming is still clear about the strength of his disciples.

So the good old woman helped? Secretly sent a master over there, or even went out in person?

This matter requires a long-term plan...

Hu Shaomeng has been dead for a while, and he didn't react before. In other words, the person who took away the red makeup mirror did not know that Hai Zongming knew about the existence of the red makeup mirror.

So now he's in the shadows, which is a huge advantage.

A treasure like the red makeup mirror cannot be studied and understood in two or three days. So there is still time. And worrying now won't help.

After Zhu Biqiong came back, she only stated Hu Shaomeng's crimes, but did not say how she killed Hu Shaomeng. Even if she wanted to talk about the detailed process, she would only tell her master.

Therefore, the first thing to investigate now is, when Hu Shaomeng died, who under the old godly woman left the offshore islands.

That person should be the one who killed Hu Shaomeng.

Whoever killed Hu Shaomeng should have the red makeup mirror in his hands!

Of course, it is also possible that it was handed over to the old godly woman in the end. That's the worst possible outcome.

The old godly woman must be able to weigh the weight of that treasure. If he wants to get it back, he needs to plan well.

Thinking about it, Hai Zongming became angry from his heart, and couldn't help smashing the case with his palm: "Naughty animal! Just dying like this is really cheap for you!"

...

At this time, Jiang Wang didn't know that his whereabouts in the pine forest beast's lair had been noticed, and because of a misunderstanding, the risk was eliminated. He also didn't know that in the remote offshore islands, the incident of Hu Shaomeng still had a follow-up effect fermenting.

He has now arrived outside the Buddha Land of the Xuankong Temple, the reason why he didn't step in is because there are still some hidden worries.

No matter how he entered the mountain gate of the Xuankong Temple, with his current status, he is a dignified fourth-rank green card of the Qi Kingdom, and he is actually a nobleman. He might not even be qualified to worship the mountain.

He mainly wanted to know if that old monk who felt bitter was in the Xuankong Temple right now...
