Suddenly,
An idea flashed through his mind.
Xie Lian put down the guiding jade, stood up, and said, "… Curse shackles. He took the shackle! "
If that thing was not important, Jun Wu naturally would not have specially taken it away. However, he had deliberately taken off the shackles that had absorbed the Jade Blood and taken it away.
Perhaps..,
That thing had not only absorbed the blood of the guiding jade.
He had even imprisoned his soul!
Thinking of this, Xie Lian left the badly battered Quan Yizhen and rushed back to the Qi Ying Palace Hall. However, Jun Wu was already gone.
He turned around and rushed out again.
Xianjing Street.
There was not a single soul in sight. It was actually a desolate place. There were only many expressionless guards at the gates of the Shrines, which were usually bustling with activity.
It was as if she didn't care about him at all. Xie Lian also didn't place them in his eyes.
He headed straight for the Divine Martial Palace.
Sure enough, Jun Wu had returned here.
He was sitting in the throne room, still looking at the curse. As soon as Xie Lian rushed in, he heard a strange gurgling sound coming from above.
Raising his head, he saw the fetus spirit's four legs grabbing onto the gorgeous heavenly flower.
It was crawling upside down at high speed.
It was as if he was some kind of cold-blooded creature.
Even this kind of evil creature was able to enter the Divine Martial Hall. Who knew what those Divine Officials who struggled for hundreds of years to enter this place would think. Xie Lian walked over to him and spread his hands.
Jun Wu said, "What do you want?"
Without saying anything further, Xie Lian reached out his hand to snatch the shackle. Of course, Jun Wu would not let him have his way. Xie Lian tried for a long time but still couldn't grab it. He angrily said, "What do you want this thing for? The Guiding Jade is not a threat to you at all. He is insignificant to you, so why did you tell him that? Why do you still have this thing?! "
But Jun Wu said, "Who says it's useless? Seeing that you're so angry over this thing, doesn't that mean it's very useful? "
He was like an adult who put a fruit on the table where his son could not reach it. He smiled at the child who wanted to eat it, tiptoed to get it, but could not get it no matter how hard he tried. He was angry and anxious, crying loudly, and then he was happy. Xie Lian was about to go crazy. "Are you crazy?!"
Jun Wu said, "Xian Le, the way you speak to me is somewhat disrespectful."
After holding it in for a long time, Xie Lian couldn't hold it in anymore and cursed, "I'll give you a …"
He reckoned that all the profanities he had ever used in his life were directed at this person. Who knew that before he could finish cursing, his throat suddenly tightened and he felt suffocated!
Xie Lian's vision darkened. His hands clutched his neck, his knees went soft, and he knelt down. Jun Wu sat in front of him, calmly stroking the fetus spirit's smooth and round head. Black gas was released from his palm, and the fetus spirit seemed to be very satisfied, letting out strange and joyful cries.
Hearing Xie Lian let out a series of violent coughs, his face flushed red, Jun Wu said, "Xian Le, I suggest that you act like before, be a little more obedient, a little more respectful, this way you won't make me angry. Don't forget, you're wearing this too. Besides, you're wearing two. "
"Cough cough cough … cough cough … you …!"
Xie Lian abruptly straightened his back, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes. Jun Wu said, "Me what? I'm despicable? Xian Le, don't forget, you were the one who asked to wear it. "
What a joke, how would he know what the hell it was at that time!
Could it be that the reason why the State Preceptor's face changed and grabbed his neck wasn't because he wanted to kill him, but because he wanted to take this thing off?
After a while, the curse on Xie Lian's neck gradually loosened, and he could finally breathe normally. With his back facing Jun Wu, he panted heavily and subconsciously covered his neck, touching the curse. This time, other than the curse, he also felt something else.
It was a thin silver chain. It was originally cold, but because he had worn it for too long, it had been warmed up by his body temperature. Under the silver chain was a sparkling and translucent ring.
After touching it, Xie Lian's shoulders suddenly stiffened, and he clenched the ring tightly. He didn't know why, but his heartbeat accelerated, as if he had grasped an incredible secret. At this time, Jun Wu behind him said, "It's me, what's the matter?"
It's him? What words? What does he mean?
Xie Lian stuffed the silver chain back, frowned and turned around. When he turned around, he realized that Jun Wu's words just now weren't directed at him.
Jun Wu had raised two fingers, lightly touching his temples. With this posture, he was communicating with someone!
Although he didn't allow other Heavenly Officials in the Immortal Capital to communicate with others, he wasn't restricted. After a pause, Jun Wu said, "It's nothing. Because a few days ago, we found out that Geomaster Yi was an impostor, and we also found out many of his spies and fake identities in the Immortal Capital. These days are troubled, so we can't make any mistakes. So, we're currently interrogating all the Heavenly Officials. The entire Immortal Capital is under martial law, and it's not open to the outside world. We also don't communicate with the outside world, so of course you won't be able to find anyone else. "
Xie Lian took a few light breaths and held his breath.
It sounded like the person communicating with Jun Wu didn't know the current situation in the Immortal Capital, so Jun Wu was also deceiving him as if nothing had happened. Moreover, the excuse he found was exquisite and appropriate. Once the matter of Black Water's impostor was exposed, it had a bad influence and deserved to be taken seriously. It was also reasonable for the court to be under martial law.
Even if Xie Lian shouted, the person on the other side wouldn't be able to hear him, so he decided to wait and see first. After a long time, a strange expression suddenly flashed across Jun Wu's face.
He said warmly, "Oh? You want to come to the Immortal Capital? Of course you can. This matter is indeed no small matter. If you want to help, you're naturally welcome. "
… …
The other party actually took the initiative to come to the Immortal Capital to help!
If it was a few hours earlier, he would naturally be more than happy to come. He was currently lacking in manpower. But now? The entire Immortal Capital had already become a den of demons. Wasn't this jumping into a fire pit?!
On the other side, Jun Wu said a few simple words and ended the communication. Xie Lian immediately said, "Who wants to come?"
That fetus seemed to know that it was something that couldn't see the light, so it quietly crawled to a dark place and hid. Jun Wu smiled and said, "What's the rush? You'll know in a moment. "
This was beyond his expectations. Xie Lian said, "Will you let me see? Didn't you tell the other party that the entire Immortal Capital is under martial law, and they're currently interrogating all the Heavenly Officials? "
Jun Wu said, "Of course. I have to have a trusted right-hand man. "
To outsiders, Ling Wen was on the run, so she naturally couldn't play the role of Jun Wu's right-hand man. Thus, this task fell to Xie Lian. While he was thinking, Jun Wu sized him up for a moment and said warmly, "Xian Le, you just have to obediently cooperate. Don't have any crooked thoughts. I understand you too well. Whatever you're thinking, I can tell."
"… …"
Jun Wu casually played with the curse shackle that was full of blood. He then said, "You said it yourself. To me, the Guiding Jade is of no importance. It should be said that all the Heavenly Officials in the Immortal Capital are insignificant to me. If you expose yourself, you know what will happen. "
"… …"
"So, don't expose yourself. Tidy yourself up. You'll be here soon. "
Xie Lian didn't say anything. He got up from the ground and patted off the dust on his body. Sure enough, he tidied himself up and stood next to Jun Wu.
Jun Wu praised, "Just like that."
Although Jun Wu's threat was very effective, Xie Lian also discovered one thing — — he didn't seem to want the person who came to know that the Immortal Capital had fallen. This made him want to know who it was even more!
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, a few figures finally appeared in front of the Divine Martial Hall. He saw a woman dressed in green riding a tall black bull. A sword hung from her waist as she leisurely walked over. Behind her were a few farmers of different heights and sizes.
The person who came was actually Rain Master!
Xie Lian was slightly surprised. According to Jun Wu's style of doing things — — after being exposed, he should have locked up whoever came. Why was he afraid of Rain Master?
Naturally, he didn't know now. Once they entered the Divine Martial Hall, Rain Master slightly nodded at the two of them. "Your Highness Crown Prince, Monarch, I trust you've been well."
Xie Lian pretended that nothing had happened and returned the greeting. "Lord Rain Master."
His expression was polite and calm, but in his heart, he was thinking about how he could tell Rain Master about the current situation in the Immortal Capital.
Jun Wu said, "Rain Master hasn't come to the Immortal Capital for a long time."
Rain Master didn't answer his question and said, "The Immortal Capital is heavily guarded."
This sentence seemed to be strange. Jun Wu said, "There's nothing we can do. Since the incident with the black water, the Middle Heaven Court has already found more than fifty fake Heavenly Officials. This makes one worry whether the Upper Heaven Court still has any chess pieces. "
Rain Master said, "I see."
The few of them talked for a while. Only then did Xie Lian realize that Jun Wu's words, regardless of whether they were true or false, were watertight and flawless. He wanted to remind him, but he was afraid that Jun Wu would notice and take action against the other Heavenly Officials. He was also afraid of implicating Rain Master, who didn't know anything, so he was restrained. Rain Master also didn't seem to notice anything strange. He only asked if there was anything he needed help with. Jun Wu said, "Not yet. However, once the investigation is completed, there will probably be many. "
Rain Master said, "Then I'll stay in the Immortal Capital for now and wait to be summoned."
Jun Wu maintained his smile. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but at this point, he still didn't shed all pretense of cordiality. He said, "Alright. You've been away from the capital for many years. It's good to take this opportunity to familiarize yourself. Your Rain Master's residence has been empty for many years. "
Rain Master nodded and slowly retreated. Xie Lian knew that once she retreated, he would most likely be monitored. He felt slightly anxious. Suddenly, Rain Master returned and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Lian's heart jumped. He said, "What advice does Lord Rain Master have?" Could it be that she finally realized something was wrong?
Rain Master said, "There's no advice. I've been away from the capital for many years, so I've brought some gifts. I'll give you a few. Are you willing to accept them? "
Xie Lian didn't expect it to be this kind of thing. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Ah? Ah … … Thank you. "
Jun Wu naturally never accepted gifts. He smiled and let Rain Master's entourage enter the Divine Martial Hall. He said, "Xian Le, Lord Rain Master wants to give you a gift. Why don't you quickly accept it?"
"… …"
His words made Xie Lian seem like a childish child that needed to be disciplined. When someone came to visit and brought a gift for their child, the elder had to let the child come out to receive it and thank him. Xie Lian was helpless. A farmer walked over and handed him a tightly wrapped item with both hands. Xie Lian casually said a few words of thanks and absent-mindedly received it. Suddenly, his expression changed as if he had sensed something strange.
His back was facing Jun Wu, so Jun Wu shouldn't be able to see his expression. However, he still asked, "What gift is it?"
Seeing him accept the gift, Rain Master cupped his hands and smiled. "It's not an expensive item. It's just some local produce grown in the ground. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. "
Jun Wu said, "Go."
Thus, Rain Master led the black bull and his entourage to the Rain Master's residence that had been empty for many years. Xie Lian put the gift in his bosom and was about to leave when Jun Wu said, "Stop."
As expected, Xie Lian stopped. It was as if his feet were nailed to the ground. Jun Wu said, "Come back."
Xie Lian returned to the Divine Martial Hall and turned to look at him. Jun Wu stepped down from the throne and took the thing that Xie Lian was holding tightly in his hand. Only then did he say, "Go back."
Xie Lian was really paranoid. He directly took the gift from Rain Master. Xie Lian glanced at him. Without saying a word, he returned to Xian Le Palace.
After returning to Xian Le Palace, Xie Lian couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth in the palace. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a clear voice. "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xie Lian fiercely turned around. He didn't know when, but he saw a youth with tattered clothes and a headscarf had climbed onto the window lattice. He was currently sitting on top of it, smiling mischievously at Xie Lian!
Xie Lian was overjoyed. He rushed forward two steps, but he suddenly remembered that the youth had called him "Your Highness the Crown Prince." He stopped and asked with uncertainty, "You're … … San Lang?"
That youth laughed and jumped down from the window. He pulled off the headscarf. His black hair scattered and was calmly tied up, revealing a handsome, pale, and completely different face. It was the face that Xie Lian was extremely familiar with.
Hua Cheng leisurely swung the headscarf and sighed. "Brother, oh brother. This time, wanting to see you is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
Just now, in the Divine Martial Hall, the moment Xie Lian received Rain Master's gift, he indeed felt something strange. However, that strange feeling didn't come from the gift. Instead, it came from the person who gave it.
As soon as he received it, he felt the other person hold his hand and squeeze it.
It had to be said that this action was a bit frivolous. If it was done to a girl, then it would be intentional. At that time, Xie Lian blinked but didn't show anything. He calmly raised his eyes and looked over. Standing in front of him was a tall youth.
Although that youth was dressed like a farmer with patches, mud, and a headscarf, his face was extremely handsome. His eyes flashed with a bright light.
