When the Lone Demon Granny voiced out her guess, Hong Mei and her son felt as though they were struck by lightning.
They simply couldn't believe that their own husband, their own father, had actually been possessed by someone else and turned into another person!
"Who, who …" Hong Mei, whose mouth was bleeding, asked blankly.
"Shang Prefecture, Onyx Soul!"
The Lone Demon Granny gritted her teeth and said. In the entire Nine Prefectures, only Onyx Soul, who had such attainments in the field of souls, dared to make a move on Shen Shao!
"Wah …"
The confused Shen Ji finally came to his senses. His father, who had loved him dearly, was long gone. He immediately began to wail. It was a heartbreaking sight.
"My poor Ji Er …"
Hong Mei vomited a mouthful of blood and hugged Shen Ji as she cried. Previously, she was so sad that she wanted to know the truth. But now that the cruel truth was revealed, she was devastated.
"His Majesty killed the immortals for the Nine Prefectures, but the people of the Nine Prefectures were greedy and wanted to use the immortals to kill the gods …"
At this point, the Lone Demon Granny finally understood the whole story. Tears streamed down her face as she almost went crazy from the anger in her chest!
"Evil, Xie Tian already knew, why didn't he tell us earlier …" Hong Mei's voice trembled as she cried.
The Lone Demon Granny laughed bitterly: "The God Emperor was possessed, who would believe it? And once this matter was exposed, the God Emperor's prestige would be greatly reduced. He, he could not bear to let His Majesty bear the shame after his death, and we …"
"Great grandmother! Mother! Sister! You … "The returning God Wei? The two brothers barged into the Palace of Peace and Tranquility and were shocked. "What's wrong with you?"
…
Half an hour later, the two brothers' faces were as white as paper. Their eyes were bloodshot as tears of blood rolled down their cheeks. They were filled with anger, shock, relief and guilt!
"Father was, was possessed by the Onyx Soul …"
"So, so Xie Tian risked everything to assassinate father …"
"But, but because of father's reputation, he would rather bear the shame of killing the Emperor …"
…
Slap slap slap!
God? He used all his strength to slap himself three times. His mouth was filled with blood as he gritted his teeth: "I already felt that something was wrong, but I did not think about it. Instead, I severed all ties with Xie Tian. I am not a human!"
Puff!
As Xie Tian's sworn brother, Shen Wei was tormented by the guilt in his heart to the point that he vomited blood. His mountain-like body trembled violently as he struggled to get up from the ground and wailed, "I, I want to go save Xie Tian …"
"Come back here!" The Lone Evil Granny shouted.
Shen Wei turned around and smiled bitterly. "Great-grandmother, if I don't save Xie Tian, I won't have the face to continue living in this world!"
"How will you save him?"
"I will announce this matter to the public …"
"And let His Majesty bear infamy after his death? Let Xie Tian's painstaking efforts go to waste? "
Shen Wei roared madly, "If we don't do this, Xie Tian will die!"
The Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful immediately quieted down.
Right now, the most important thing in front of everyone was not grieving over Shenshao's death, but how to save Xie Tian.
But how?
The only way was to reveal the fact that Shenshao was possessed by the Onyx Soul. But would that guarantee Xie Tian's survival?
Thinking about the faces of the Wang, Xie, Tian and Wu family heads in the palace, the Lone Evil Granny's heart thumped. She knew that the four aristocratic families would not be satisfied with this!
"What will the four aristocratic families do?" Shen Wei stood up, his eyes filled with killing intent. "If Big Brother knows the truth, the four aristocratic families will not dare to say anything even if they have ten thousand guts!"
Just as the Lone Evil Granny was about to nod her head, she suddenly thought of Shen Feng's strange state and squinted her eyes!
"Feng 'er, what is he thinking?"
Ever since Dao Yi entered the Shen Palace to seek allegiance to Wu Shang and Zhu Xian returned to the Jin Dynasty, the Lone Evil Granny had a clear understanding of Shen Feng's character – he was extremely calm, so calm that he was emotionless.
This kind of calmness was the true heart of an Emperor. It could not be simply judged by good or bad.
"Now that the Jin Dynasty is facing a difficult situation, they lack a Divine Emperor. Feng 'er definitely knows this, so he will definitely ignore everything …"
"To become the Divine Emperor, His Majesty has to be buried, and before that, the murderer, Xie Tian, must be executed. If this matter is exposed, if Xie Tian is not dead, will it become an obstacle for him to become the Divine Emperor?"
"But Xie Tian is the important official that His Majesty has chosen to assist Shen Feng. As long as Xie Tian grows up, he will definitely not be inferior to Xie Wu Di from 3000 years ago. With such an intelligent and courageous person to assist him, Shen Feng's path to becoming the Emperor will be smoother …"
In the silence, the Lone Evil Granny gradually found out what Shen Feng was conflicted about.
For the sake of the present, Shen Feng had to succeed as the Divine Emperor, so Xie Tian had to die.
For the sake of the future, Xie Tian could not die. If that was the case, Shen Feng might not be able to become the Divine Emperor in a short period of time, and the Jin Dynasty would be facing its biggest crisis in 3000 years. But as long as they could overcome this crisis, their future would be even brighter!
"Feng 'er, what will you choose …"
"Great Grandmother, what are you hesitating for!" Shen Wei was anxious and angry. If not for his filial piety, he would have rushed out without a care in the world.
The Lone Evil Granny sighed and said slowly, "This matter cannot be rushed."
"How can I not be rushed?" Shen Wei's eyes widened in anger. "In 28 days, Xie Tian will be executed. Every day we delay means one more day of danger for him!"
"Mo Shaocong promised me that he would do his best to interrogate Xie Tian within these 28 days."
"What is there to interrogate! I will go tell Mo Shaocong that father … "
The Lone Evil Granny looked at Shen Wei coldly, "Tell him that your father has been possessed by the Onyx Soul?"
"So what if we tell him! Father will not let Xie Tian die unjustly for the sake of his own reputation! "
"But have you thought about it from Xie Tian's position?" The Lone Evil Granny shook her head and said, "Xie Tian is not an ordinary person. Since he is not speaking, there must be a reason. If we act rashly, we might mess up his plans."
Shen Wei knelt down in front of the Lone Evil Granny and cried, "Great Grandmother, Xie Tian is heavily injured and locked in the God's Prison. Even if he has a way, what can he do!"
"My heart aches for Xie Tian more than you do, but you must listen to me on this matter!" The Lone Evil Granny said solemnly, "There is still ample time. Wait for them to interrogate Xie Tian. If Xie Tian does not speak, we will expose this matter!"
After some persuasion, Shen Wei and his brother finally gave up. They accompanied Hong Mei and Shen Ji and continued to immerse themselves in the sorrow of Shen Shao's passing.
"Your Majesty, how can you bear to leave them behind …."
The Lone Evil Granny wiped away her tears and walked out of the Palace of Peace and Tranquility. Shen Feng's calm face appeared in her mind again.
"Feng 'er, great grandmother does not know what you will choose. But great grandmother hopes that you will look at the long term. Xie Tian was not only a good helper, but also a good brother for life, a good companion …."
In the God's Prison, there was a fourth noise.
This time, there were many footsteps. They were urgent and heavy.
"Bring Xie Tian out!"
Mo Shaocong looked at Xie Tian who was like a dead dog in the cell. He suppressed the ripples in his heart and turned around expressionlessly, walking towards the interrogation area.
Just as Xie Tian was carried out of the cell, the Jin dynasty's three hundred and sixty cities' teleportation formation was lifted. The news of the Emperor's sudden death also spread throughout the three hundred and sixty cities.
In just a few hours, the Jin dynasty was in chaos. Tianqi City's teleportation formation was unprecedentedly busy. Among the countless people who rushed into Tianqi City because of this matter, there was an ordinary-looking sword cultivator who walked straight to the Hall of Etiquette.
