"If there is a Late Spirit Apostle, then it should be a Black Spirit Envoy. Before this person died, did he self-destruct? "Hu Chunniang coldly laughed.
"He did self-destruct! Is there something strange about this Black Spirit Envoy? "Liu Ming's expression slightly changed as he asked.
"I'm not too sure about that. I only know that the Black Spirit Group's Black Spirit Envoys are all Late Spirit Apostles and when they meet a strong enemy, they will self-destruct and perish together with the enemy. However, not long after, a Black Spirit Envoy with the same number will appear in the Black Spirit Group. "The young woman said gloomily.
"There's such a strange thing?" Liu Ming heard this and was shocked.
"Hehe, if it wasn't like that. When the Black Spirit Group first appeared in Xuanjing, how could they forcefully take over such a large territory from the other factions and still dominate Xuanjing. "Hu Chunniang calmed down and said.
"Okay, Senior can now tell me how you know it was the Black Spirit Group that attacked the previous envoy." Liu Ming thought for a while before asking.
"Because I bribed someone in the Black Spirit Group. Unfortunately, his position in the Black Spirit Group was too low. Based on the clues he gave, I deduced that the previous envoy was killed by the Black Spirit Group. I heard that in that battle, the Black Spirit Group sent out two envoys and uprooted the previous envoy as well as the people left behind at the Small Clear Temple. "Hu Chunniang replied.
"Senior, do you know why the Black Spirit Group attacked the previous envoy? I don't believe that without a special reason, the Black Spirit Group, a loose cultivator organization, would dare to anger the Barbarian Ghost Sect. "Liu Ming nodded and asked.
"Before I answer, Junior should tell me how you know the cause of the chaos in Xuanjing is the royal family, right?" The young woman calmly asked.
"It's very simple. I unintentionally saved a court official and told him some secrets about the current emperor." Liu Ming replied without hesitation.
"You're talking about the current emperor, Xuan Zhi?" Hearing this, Hu Chunniang's face slightly changed.
"That's right, I am indeed the master of Xuanjing in name." Liu Ming replied.
"Alright, I'm getting more and more interested in Junior Martial Brother's news. According to my investigation, the reason why your predecessor was killed was because the Black Spirit Group had received news that your predecessor had discovered a major secret of the Black Spirit Group and was killed. "The young woman's eyes began to shine as she quickly spoke.
"Silenced because of a secret? It seems that the secret that my Senior Brother Ren discovered is no small matter, "Liu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Hehe, that's most likely the case. But you don't have to ask me what the secret is, I don't know anything about it. Now, I want to know what Emperor Xuan Zhi's secret was! "Hu Chunniang finally asked the most important question.
"The secret is that Xuan Zhi isn't human anymore. He might have even been swapped." Liu Ming slowly replied.
"What, how is this possible!" Hu Chunniang's pupils shrank as she gasped.
"What, could it be that Senior Hu didn't receive any news of this? Then what did Senior suspect about the government? "Liu Ming asked without changing his expression.
"Hmph, the reason why I suspect the government is because of the old monsters of the royal family and the few Gold Spirit Guests." The young woman's face darkened for a while before she unwillingly replied.
"Senior is talking about the cultivators that the royal family has nurtured and the few Gold Spirit Guests at the Perfection Realm! Why is that? "Liu Ming was slightly surprised.
"It's because all of these people suddenly went into seclusion at the same time. After they went into seclusion, the entire government suddenly became strange. Not only did the government no longer restrict the various factions in Xuanjing, it also ignored the actions of the princes, allowing them to crazily absorb foreign Loose Practitioners to expand their own power. This caused the entire Xuanjing to become so chaotic! "The young woman sighed as she spoke.
"If that's the case, then the cultivators of the royal family and the Gold Spirit Guests are indeed suspicious." Liu Ming finally understood.
"Junior won't believe whatever the government official says, right? What did he say exactly? Is there any evidence? "Hu Chunniang asked seriously.
"The original words were very long. When I first asked him, I used a Recording Glyph to make a few copies of his words for future use. As for the other evidence, Senior Hu will understand after seeing it. " Liu Ming said calmly. With a flip of his hand, a pale white glyph appeared between his fingers. With a wave of the wind, with a "pu" sound, the glyph turned into a raging flame and started to burn.
At this time, the voice of Mister Sun came from within the flame.
"Since Mister Qian saved me from prison, I will naturally tell you this secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time. However, after I tell you this secret, I do not dare to stay in Xuanjing any longer. Therefore, I hope that Master Celestial can help my family … … "
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the conversation between Liu Ming and Sir Sun that day was completely reproduced in the firelight without missing a single word. Finally, the light faded and the firelight completely dissipated.
"So that's what happened. If that's the case, then the reason why the royal family cultivators and the Gold Spirit Guests went into seclusion is most likely related to the inhuman Xuan Zhi Emperor. If that's the case, then most of the things can be explained. The Demon Scale that he mentioned, Junior must have also obtained it. Can you let me take a look? "Hu Chunniang muttered a few words to herself before asking Liu Ming with a trace of nervousness on her face.
"Of course not. Junior wants to use Senior's experience to determine what kind of monster this Demonic Scale came from. " Liu Ming naturally had no reason to disagree. After nodding his head, he took out a small jade box from his sleeve. After opening it, the light green scale was quietly lying inside.
Hu Chunniang took the jade box and carefully took out the scale. Her eyes flashed as she examined it.
However, after a while, the girl shook her head and put the scale back into the jade box. Returning it to Liu Ming, she said:
"I am ashamed that I am unable to identify the origin of this scale. However, just like what junior said, Xuan Zhi is a non-human existence. There is no doubt about this. However, this matter is very important. If we rely on this to send a message to the Sect, I'm afraid it will be far from enough. "
"I think so too. That's why we didn't spread the news. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't be able to make any contributions and will instead get ourselves in trouble. "Liu Ming seemed to be in agreement.
"Junior is very experienced in handling things. How about this, let's first suppress this matter and think of a way to split up and get some evidence. Then, we'll send a message to the Sect. That way, nothing will go wrong! "The young woman said after thinking for a while.
"Since this matter involves the royal family and the government, it definitely isn't something that a supervising disciple like you and I can handle alone. As long as we have enough evidence, we can hand everything over to the Sect. "Liu Ming nodded his head.
"Ok. However, if we really want to get any evidence, I'm afraid we'll have to get in touch with this Emperor Xuan Zhi. In half a month, it will be the royal family's sacrificial ceremony. The person I'm currently relying on will also enter the palace. He will definitely bring me along. At that time, I'll act according to the situation and see if I can find any evidence in the palace. "The young woman suddenly thought of something.
"Senior Hu, the person you're relying on is …" Liu Ming paused for a second before immediately asking.
"It's the current Seventh Prince, an arrogant guy." The young woman curled her lips and said.
"Seventh prince, if it's the royal family's sacrificial ceremony, he will definitely enter the palace. However, under these circumstances, the palace will definitely be heavily guarded. Wouldn't it be a bit too dangerous for Senior to sneak into the palace to collect evidence? "Liu Ming thought for a while and was still a bit worried.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained! However, if Junior is still worried, why don't you try to sneak into the palace with me. With Junior Martial Brother accompanying me, Senior Martial Sister will be completely relieved. "The young woman chuckled and said.
"Then forget it. Right now, I'm only a guest of the Hundred Spirit House in name. I'm afraid I won't be able to sneak into the palace. "Liu Ming said with a grin.
"Junior, are you planning on getting close to the Third Marquis who has a good relationship with the Hundred Spirit House?" Hu Chunniang's smile disappeared as she asked.
"I do have such a plan. If I can get close to the Third Marquis, it shouldn't be difficult for me to enter the palace in the future. What, is there something wrong with this? "Liu Ming immediately understood and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Although I don't have any concrete evidence, this Third Marquis is not simple. I suspect that he might have some sort of relationship with the Black Spirit Group? "The young woman hesitated for a while before speaking with uncertainty.
"What, relationship with the Black Spirit Group?" Even though Liu Ming was usually calm, he couldn't help but jump in fright when he heard this.
"Yes. The person that I bribed has seen the Black Spirit Messengers enter and leave the Third Marquis House many times. Also, ever since the Black Spirit Group appeared in Xuanjing, the Third Marquis has rarely appeared in front of people. Also, in recent years, there have been a few loose cultivators that have been recruited into the Third Marquis House, but a portion of them have never appeared again. It's very suspicious! "The young woman said seriously.
"Thank you Senior for your reminder. I understand what to do." Liu Ming's face was unsettled for a while before letting out a long breath.
"I also believe that with Junior Qian's intelligence, there won't be any problems dealing with this." Hu Chunniang said with a light smile.
"That's right, does Senior Hu know the situation of the other three Supervising Disciples? Should we tell them about this?" Liu Ming asked as he thought of something.
"Those three pieces of trash! If Junior Qian doesn't want to suddenly be surrounded and killed like your predecessor, it's best if you give up on this idea. "The young woman said with a face full of ridicule.
