Chapter 977 Blockade
Using a long-distance teleportation array to teleport is convenient, but expensive.
After experiencing the initial sense of novelty, cultivators in Jiuqu Province will not use magic circles for teleportation unless necessary.
Moreover, there are many people from the Daheng Cultivation World who go to the mainland of Dali Dynasty, but few people go to the Hengjue Mountains.
Meng Zhang waited beside the teleportation circle for most of the day before gathering a group of monks to go to the Hengjue Mountains.
There were dedicated monks in the main hall who activated the teleportation circle. After a burst of light flashed, everyone felt the world spinning.
By the time everyone returned to normal, they had already appeared in a hall with a layout similar to the previous hall.
Meng Zhang, who was already accustomed to long-distance teleportation, did not feel any discomfort after the teleportation, and walked out of the hall in a familiar manner.
As soon as I arrived outside the main hall, I realized something was wrong.
A group of monks wearing black and red uniforms surrounded the place where the teleportation array was, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
This is the location of the long-distance teleportation array in the Hengjue Mountains. The monks here basically teleport through here if they want to go to other places in the Dali Dynasty.
The first stop for monks who come to the Hengjue Mountains from other places is also here.
On weekdays, there are many cultivators coming and going.
Now a group of people suddenly appeared and completely blocked the place. The cultivators who wanted to enter and exit were very dissatisfied, and many people were already making a lot of noise.
When Meng Zhang saw this, he did not join the group. Instead, he shrank back to avoid attracting attention.
It wasn't that he was afraid of these people, nor that he had any evil intentions. It was just that he recognized the origins of those people and didn't want to cause trouble.
When he was in Tiangong, he focused on this group of people among the information he obtained about the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.
These guys are directly under the Dali Temple of the Dali Dynasty and are the famous Five Penal Guards.
Dali Temple was the highest institution in charge of prisons in the Dali Dynasty. It also had the responsibility of eliminating enemies within the dynasty.
The minister in charge of Dali Temple today is the powerful monk Han Yao.
Han Yao has the title of Five Punishment Swordsmen. His swordsmanship is superb, and he is directly catching up with Ouyang Jian, the sword master of the older generation.
Han Yao has a strong personality and hates evil. He is an out-and-out righteous monk, and he is definitely not the kind of hypocrite who puts on a show.
He was in charge of the laws and prisons of the Dali Dynasty. He acted impartially, strictly and selflessly, which made the atmosphere within the entire Dali Dynasty clear.
The Five Punishers were a special team he established directly under Dali Temple, specifically responsible for hunting down key criminals.
The Five Punishment Sword Han Yao was too tough and offended many powerful people in the Dali Dynasty, including many who held high positions and held great power.
There are many people in the upper echelons of the Dali Dynasty who want to pull him down.
In the Dali Dynasty, there were not too many or too few of the great monks in the late Yuanshen period. There were at least twenty or thirty of them.
Such a great monk is willing to serve the imperial court, and it is inevitable that he will hold a high position.
Han Yao is considered a strong one among the great monks in the later stage of Yuanshen.
Apart from his cultivation, he himself also behaves and sits upright, and is not afraid of others' slander.
Emperor Bawu trusted Han Yao very much and gave him almost unconditional support.
Although Han Yao made many enemies within the Dali Dynasty and was hated and even hated by many powerful people, his position could not be shaken and his behavior remained as tough as ever.
Although the Taiyi Sect has long since surrendered to the Dali Dynasty, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a peripheral force of the Dali Dynasty, not its direct lineage.
Meng Zhang did not want to have an inexplicable conflict with Wu Xingwei, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Bawu.
Although this group of Wu Xing Guards were no more than golden elixir stage monks at most, they were very powerful. They forcibly blocked the place and suppressed everyone's dissatisfaction.
Even the Yuanshen-stage monks in the closed circle did not try to go against the Five Penal Guards.
Among the cultivators who can cultivate to the Yuanshen stage, there are very few fools. Even if you don't recognize the origin of Wu Xingwei, just by looking at his demeanor, you will know that he has an extraordinary origin.
Without enough interests involved, who would be willing to conflict with these guys?
After the Five Penal Guards sealed the place, the teleportation circle inside also stopped all teleportation and was closed.
Meng Zhang went out this time to avoid Zhang Weineng, and the longer he could delay outside, the better.
When encountering such an accident, he didn't want to get involved in trouble, but he didn't mind watching the excitement from the sidelines.
The five criminal guards sealed the place and temporarily trapped all the monks inside.
Then several people who were obviously leaders began to interrogate the monks here one by one, asking about their origins, recent experiences, etc.
The strongest members of this group of Five Punishment Guards are only monks in the late Golden Core stage, but even when facing Yuanshen stage monks, they are not afraid and still dare to take the initiative to ask questions.
Fortunately, the surrounded cultivators were all cultivators from the Dali Dynasty, and had long experienced the powerful power of the Dali Dynasty's officialdom.
Faced with the questioning from Wu Xingwei, no one would resist, and they would all answer honestly.
There are a lot of monks surrounded here, dozens of them.
Among this group of monks, there are mostly those in the Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, and there are a few Yuanshen Stage monks.
The territory of the Dali Dynasty was vast. In addition to the mainland, there were also many enclaves far away from the mainland.
For example, the Hengjue Mountains and Jiuqu Province are far away from the mainland, separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.
Thanks to the large number of long-distance teleportation circles built by the Dali Dynasty, as long as they can afford the teleportation fees, cultivators with low cultivation levels can travel millions of miles away without worrying about dangers on the road.
The origins of these monks who were questioned were complex. Some came from the mainland of the Dali Dynasty, some from Jiuqu Province, and local monks from the Hengjue Mountains...
There were a large number of Wu Xing Guards, but due to the very detailed interrogation, progress was very slow.
Their work style is rigorous and there is no omission. Even if there is anything wrong at all, they will be questioned over and over again.
The monk in charge of the interrogation was holding a mirror-like magic weapon.
Whenever the person being questioned lies, the mirror will emit a special light.
In this way, everyone must answer the questions honestly.
An older Wu Xing Guard may be the leader.
He asked his subordinates to bring several True Lords of Yuanshen to him.
On normal days, Meng Zhang would not be so obedient.
But once he knew that behind the Five Penal Guards was the great monk Han Yao, he was by no means someone who could be easily provoked.
Secondly, he has nothing to do now and has enough leisure time to spend time slowly with them.
Meng Zhang was brought to the leader very honestly without any resistance or dissatisfaction.
