He rolled onto the streets of Immortal Capital.
Xie Lian was still covering the lower half of his face.
He staggered along the way. Although the little Heavenly Officials hurrying to and fro on the street didn't dare to come up and ask him, they couldn't help but look at him strangely. Xie Lian hurriedly put down his hand, straightened his waist, and very hypocritically rubbed his mouth.
Lao Ai said, "My mouth hurts a little.
He did not know what was going on.
Hehe … "
The young priests looked at him even more strangely.
What did he do to make his mouth hurt?
It was indeed a little painful. He had jumped up and bumped into Hua Cheng, kissing him too forcefully. Hua Cheng was probably knocked down as well.
However, Xie Lian could clearly feel it after sticking to it.
He seemed to smile. Not daring to think too much about it, he lowered his head and continued walking forward.
The other Divine Officials didn't waste any more time.
Each hurried away.
Perhaps it was because the copper cauldron had created too much of a ruckus, but the atmosphere in the entire Immortal Capital was solemn and uneasy. In the Divine Martial Palace.
Many priests had already gathered there. Although the resentful spirits in the copper cauldron had spread to seven or eight places in the world, most of them had been sent to the most densely populated imperial city. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng took on the leading role.
It was because he had chosen the weakest ones that he had been tossing and turning until now. The others had only dealt with a few hundred of them.
It had been settled long ago.
Pei Ming, Feng Xin, and the others had already returned to the Immortal Capital. The moment Xie Lian stepped into the hall.
He raised his head and came face to face with someone. It was Lang Qianqiu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Lang Qianqiu's face darkened. He was startled when he saw him, and immediately turned his head away.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Jun Wu was sitting on the highest seat, and when he saw Xie Lian arrive, he stood up slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Lang Qianqiu stood up and said, "Emperor, I heard you've already captured Qing Gui Qi Rong."
Jun Wu looked at him and said, "Correct. However, Green Ghost Qi Rong, Female Ghost Xuan Ji, and the others weren't personally captured by me. They were all handed over by the Ghost City's Guiding Jade. "
Only now did Xie Lian realize that the Guiding Jade was also here. It couldn't be helped. He really didn't have any sense of existence. Speaking of which, this was Yin Yu's first time entering the Divine Martial Hall. In addition to the Superior Clergy, only those who are permitted by Jun Wu are allowed to step into this hall. In the past, when Yin Yu was a Heavenly Official, he didn't have the qualifications to enter because of his low rank. Now that he's "willingly degenerated" to enter the Ghost City, he's finally able to enter a higher level. He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lang Qianqiu said straightforwardly, "Qi Rong is the enemy who exterminated my clan. Please hand this thing over to me to deal with."
Jun Wu glanced at Xie Lian, pondered for a moment, then said, "It's not that I can't hand him over to you, but I want to ask a question. What will you do after you deal with Green Ghost Qi Rong? What are you waiting for? "
Back then, Lang Qianqiu had threatened Xie Lian after settling the score with Qi Rong. Jun Wu was aware of this. Lang Qianqiu said stiffly, "That has nothing to do with Monarch. It can't be that if I don't answer this question, you're going to protect Qi Rong and prevent me from avenging my family, right? "
In the past, he almost never spoke in the Divine Martial Hall, and even if he did, he would do so stupidly. Now that he spoke, his expression and tone were filled with hostility. This situation isn't good. Pei Ming said, "His Highness Tai Hua is a bit angry today, of course Monarch won't protect him …"
Just as they were trying to smooth things over, they heard a commotion outside the hall. Someone barged in and said, "Monarch, I can't wait any longer!"
It's actually Mu Qing. He's dressed in black, and his face is dark. The martial divine officials behind him were originally holding him, but how could they hold him back? They also rushed in and said, "Monarch, we were just about to send General Xuan Zhen …"
Jun Wu sighed, held his forehead, and waved his hand, saying, "I know, you can leave." After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Mu Qing, "So?"
Mu Qing said resolutely, "So I can't continue to endure this kind of injustice on my head. Didn't you already capture that woman in the copper furnace? I want to confront her face to face! "
Lang Qianqiu also said, "Monarch, please hand over Qing Gui Qi Rong to me as well!"
The two of them spoke loudly together, and the people below became very noisy. Jun Wu looked like he had a headache, saying, "Silence! Can't you wait and let me deal with the copper furnace first? "
Mu Qing said, "You need manpower to deal with the resentful spirits that leaked out from the copper furnace, so what's the point of locking me up? It's better to let me clear my name as soon as possible and serve the celestial heavens. As long as Monarch brings her here for me to confront, the truth will come to light! "
These words are reasonable. If I don't let him have his way, he'll probably not forgive me. Jun Wu could only say, "Bring the female ghost, Jian Lan."
Not long after, Jian Lan was also brought up. She was carrying a bundle that looked like swaddling clothes. The bundle was emitting a dense black aura, and a deathly white thing that looked like a hand, but not like a hand, and like a bone, but not like a bone, was revealed from within. It bared its fangs and claws, and she stuffed it back into the bundle. Probably out of respect for Feng Xin, the escorting divine officials didn't grab her. Feng Xin's Adam's apple moved slightly, and their gazes met for a moment. Jian Lan was the first to move away, and Feng Xin's gaze fell on the "swaddling clothes" in her arms, and his expression became even more complicated. Mu Qing, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his patience. The moment he came up, he said, "I don't know why your son wants to slander me, but he definitely knows that I'm not the murderer. He must have been instructed by someone."
He had somewhat lost his composure like this, but Xie Lian could understand. After all, Mu Qing was a person who cared a lot about his face. He had been stuck with a bucket of sh * t for so long, and it even affected his position in the Heavenly Court, so he was naturally very angry. Jun Wu said, "In your opinion, who was the one who instructed him?"
Mu Qing didn't say anything, but his gaze shifted to the side. Everyone could see that he was looking at Jian Lan.
The veins on Feng Xin's forehead immediately popped, "What do you mean? You think she deliberately let her son slander you? "
Mu Qing retracted his gaze and said, "I didn't say that."
Feng Xin said, "Then why are you looking at her? It's not like she has any hatred or grievances with you, so why would she instruct her? "
Mu Qing stared at him and said, "She has no hatred or grievances with me, but that's not necessarily the case for you."
Feng Xin said, "What do you mean? Speak clearly this time. "
Mu Qing glanced at Xie Lian and said, "You met Miss Jian Lan during the time when His Highness the Crown Prince was demoted, right?"
All the Heavenly Officials followed his lead and looked towards Xie Lian. Xie Lian, "???"
Why did he have to be involved again?
Feng Xin also glanced at him and said angrily in a low voice, "What does this have to do with that?"
Mu Qing simply threw caution to the wind and completely tore everything apart, saying, "Of course it's related. At that time, because you were at His Highness the Crown Prince's side and were in dire straits, you hated me to the bone when I ascended the celestial heavens once again. You also loved to use me as an example to dig up old debts and criticize me. Since she was the person who slept by your side, how could she not be influenced and hate me? Who knows, she might even hate His Highness the Crown Prince because in the end, you didn't take her away and chose to go back to continue being loyal and dejected. This was basically abandoning … … "
Feng Xin couldn't bear it anymore and roared, "Stop bullshitting!!"
He threw a punch and Mu Qing retaliated with a backhand. Jian Lan stepped forward to block, but the fetus spirit cackled strangely like an old crow cawing. It was extremely terrifying. Pei Ming and Yin Yu pulled back Feng Xin and Mu Qing respectively. Quan Yizhen watched from the side as if he was considering who would win if they fought. In short, the atmosphere in the hall was foul. Xie Lian stood quietly for a while and lowered his head. After a while, he sighed and reminded, "Monarch, the most important thing now is to find Bai WuXiang and deal with the Human Face Plague. The person we found just now is the most important clue."
Jun Wu also couldn't bear to watch any longer. He waved his hand and said, "… … Bring the female ghost Jian Lan and the fetus spirit down. Bring Xian Le State Preceptor up. "
Mu Qing shouted, "No need! I want … … what?? "
Feng Xin was also stunned, "Bring who??"
The two of them looked towards the entrance of the hall. Wasn't the person being brought over by the group of Martial Officials the Xian Le State Preceptor that the two of them were very familiar with, Mei Nianqing?
Feng Xin and Mu Qing were stunned. Feng Xin said, "State Preceptor? It really is State Preceptor? "Mu Qing didn't call him that, but he was also bewildered. No wonder. To be honest, even now, Xie Lian still felt that this person was unrealistic. He couldn't connect this person with the State Preceptor who asked him about the "two people in a cup of water".
Mei Nianqing slowly walked forward and brushed past Xie Lian. Jun Wu sat at the top of the hall and said, "Xian Le, when we were down there, you seemed to have something to say."
Xie Lian slightly bowed and said, "Yes."
Thus, he picked out the important parts of his experience in Bronze Cauldron Mountain and Wu Yong Country. The more everyone listened, the bigger their eyes became, not to mention Feng Xin and Mu Qing. After listening, Jun Wu slowly said, "I have never heard of the name Wu Yong Country."
The other Martial Officials also echoed, "I have never heard of it either … …"
"After all, it was two thousand years ago."
"They must have purposely erased the traces."
Mei Nianqing didn't say a word. Xie Lian said, "State Preceptor, Prince Wu Yong is Bai WuXiang, right?"
Mei Nianqing said, "Yes."
As expected!
Pei Ming pondered and said, "Who left those murals? And who destroyed the last one? "
Xie Lian said, "I don't know who left it, but I think it should be Bai WuXiang or his subordinates who destroyed it. After all, he didn't want others to know his identity. "
He turned to Mei Nianqing and said, "And you are Prince Wu Yong's subordinate." In other words, you are Bai WuXiang's subordinate.
"… …"
Mei Nianqing didn't say anything. Xie Lian had an impulse to ask him. When Xian Le destroyed the country, did the State Preceptor know that the thing was Bai WuXiang? Or could it be that they had colluded and the State Preceptor was their helper?
But in the end, he still asked another question, "Where is Bai WuXiang now?"
"… …"
Xie Lian said, "Why did Bai WuXiang destroy Xian Le?"
"… …"
Xie Lian said, "Why did you want to kill me?"
Mei Nianqing finally spoke. He said, "Your Highness, I didn't want to kill you."
Xie Lian said, "Then why did you want to take my throat down there?"
Mei Nianqing asked back, "Would you die if I grabbed your neck? Would the one beside you let me succeed? "
Indeed, he wouldn't. But that didn't mean Mei Nianqing didn't have killing intent. Because at that time, his reaction was completely subconscious. Mei Nianqing probably knew he couldn't convince him, so he no longer tried to explain.
After a moment of silence, Xie Lian finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
He said, "State Preceptor, what do you want to awaken from my body?"
Jun Wu told him that the State Preceptor seemed to want to awaken something from his body. What could it be?
Mei Nianqing stared at him with a strange expression. Xie Lian clenched his fists under his sleeves and said, "State Preceptor, please speak."
Xie Lian's heart had always been faintly uneasy. That Prince Wu Yong's fate was so similar to his. Could it be that there really was some secret connection between him and Bai WuXiang?
He definitely had to figure this out. Because he absolutely couldn't tolerate Bai WuXiang having anything to do with him. But he was also extremely afraid that Bai WuXiang really had something to do with him.
Mei Nianqing looked at him. After a while, he said, "Your Highness, the things you asked, right now is not the time for me to answer. And even if I answer, you might not believe me. "
Pausing, he said, "However, there is one thing I can immediately answer you."
Mei Nianqing said word by word, "Right now, Bai WuXiang is in this Divine Martial Palace. He is right in front of me! "
Who was in front of him?
Xie Lian!
Xie Lian immediately retreated a few steps, as if he wanted to avoid this position. Feng Xin, who was closest to him, said, "State Preceptor, you … … open your eyes and look clearly. Who is in front of you, it's His Highness the Crown Prince! It's your disciple! "
However, there were also other voices. In the distance, a Heavenly Official covered his mouth and whispered, "Could it be … … Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince and Bai WuXiang are … … one soul divided into two?!"
"What is one soul divided into two?!"
"It's the same person's soul divided into two halves, or split into two sides. One half and the other half have different memories. Their temperament and abilities are also different. Perhaps their appearance is also different … … "
"… … That's possible."
"I've also heard of this kind of example!"
"If it's really like this, then what should we do? His Highness the Crown Prince is the White Cloak Calamity??? "
This kind of voice came from all directions. Xie Lian also began to suspect that he was Bai WuXiang??? Is it really like this???
Could it be that he himself destroyed Xian Le? Could it be that he himself tortured himself for 800 years? To this day, everything that happened could only be blamed on him???
The Heavenly Officials in the hall were in an uproar. Their expressions were all different. Feng Xin also didn't know what to say or believe. Jun Wu stood up and said, "Xian Le, calm down!"
Xie Lian's eyes were a little chaotic. He said, "I … … I … …"
Could it really be that it was all his fault???
If it really was him, then what should he do? He didn't know at all!
Just as he was at a loss, suddenly, a voice sounded in his heart.
"No! I can assure you that you are you, not anyone else. Believe me! "
"… …"
San Lang. San Lang!
Hua Cheng said that it wasn't him. It definitely wasn't his fault!
Thinking of this, Xie Lian's mind instantly became clear and he stood firm. Jun Wu had already gotten down from his throne and came to his side. He said, "Xian Le! Calm down first … … "
Xie Lian was about to raise his head and calmly reply. Who knew that at this moment, Mei Nianqing would suddenly stretch out his hand and pull out the sword from Feng Xin's waist, stabbing towards Jun Wu!
All the Heavenly Officials cried out in alarm. However, Jun Wu and Xie Lian were both Martial Gods. Moreover, they were among the top Martial Gods. Why would they care about this level of sneak attack? Before the tip of the sword could touch Jun Wu's body, Xie Lian had already stretched out two fingers like lightning and caught the bright sword in front of his eyes!
Once Feng Xin regained his senses, he immediately came forward to restrain the State Preceptor. Daring to commit murder in the Divine Martial Hall, and in front of so many Martial Gods, he was simply courting death. Feng Xin said, "State Preceptor, what you're doing is useless!"
Mei Nianqing struggled in vain while shouting at Xie Lian, "Look!!! Quickly look!!! "
Yin Yu ran over and said, "Your Highness! Are you alright? What's wrong? "
Mu Qing vigilantly said, "What are you looking at? What does he mean? What does he want? "
Amidst the chaos, Xie Lian didn't move for a long time.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because he saw something in that snow-white sword.
A face.
A calm and handsome young man's face.
And on this face, there were three other faces!
Those three slightly smaller faces squeezed onto this person's face, destroying his originally handsome appearance into a sinister and terrifying one. Even his facial features were slightly distorted. Half of the face looked like it was crying, while the other half looked like it was smiling.
Xie Lian should be familiar with this face. But at this moment, under the mirror-like sword, it was so unfamiliar and frightening. It shocked Xie Lian so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Only now did he suddenly remember that the sword Feng Xin carried on his body was the Red Mirror, the mirror where evil poisons appeared. When a demon entered the mirror, there was nowhere to hide.
From this corner, the Red Mirror didn't reflect his face, but rather the face of the person standing behind him. Furthermore, there was a pair of gloomy eyes on that face that were closely watching him.
Xie Lian's pupils slowly contracted. His movements seemed to slow down by several beats. He slightly opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, his wrist suddenly stiffened.
