The interior of the palace was vast.
It could hold a thousand people. Currently, the Lightning Emperor was the only one sitting in the main hall.
Even though Uncle An had brought Yang Jian and Bai Haoyu inside, Xiao Ting didn't seem to notice. His hands trembled as he held a piece of tin foil, which had some white powder on it.
Uncle An didn't say a word. He knew Xiao Ting hated it when people sucked on the powder. It made him especially irritable.
Yang Jian and Bai Haoyu naturally didn't say anything either. They just stood there quietly, waiting.
"Let me tell you some shocking news. Someone is actually controlling the Lightning Emperor. Is that why I came to the Lightning Emperor's estate to investigate?"
At that moment, Bai Haoyu's divine sense transmission exploded in Yang Jian's sea of consciousness.
Yang Jian stood with his head bowed, his brows raised, and his gaze flickered.
"What do you mean? Someone's secretly controlling the Lightning Emperor? You must be joking. He's the Xiao Family's Lightning Emperor. Who could possibly control his thoughts? "" Who said anything about controlling his sea of consciousness? Can't I just use an external object? " Said Bai Haoyu. "Think about it. Why did the Lightning Emperor suddenly abdicate in the prime of his life? He didn't care about the Xiao Family at all and threw all of his attention to Xiao Yan, who didn't like politics to begin with.
”
"What's wrong with raising the younger generation?"
"If he's raising the younger generation, why did he take back the position of family head just as Xiao Yan was getting better?" asked Bai Haoyu.
Yang Jian said nothing.
He naturally knew why Xiao Ting had suddenly returned to fight for the position of family head.
Xiao Ting was collaborating with the demons and yao to plot a rebellion. Xiao Yan didn't agree with his political views. In order to take control of the Xiao Family and use it as a bargaining chip, Xiao Ting naturally wanted to take back the position.
Yang Jian knew all of this, but he couldn't tell Bai Haoyu.
He still couldn't confirm this person's identity. Perhaps he was just trying to get information out of him.
"It seems you're still on guard against me?" asked Bai Haoyu.
"Shouldn't I be?" Yang Jian transmitted. "Back at the Bai Family, you injured Zichen so badly. You cut off one of his arms and injured his left eye. Not seeking revenge is already the limit of what I can do. Do you really think I'd share my information with you?"
"I'm doing this for his own good."
"Your mother's fart!" "Hey, why are you cursing?" Bai Haoyu arched an eyebrow. "I injured his left eye in preparation for him to open his Celestial Eye. Let me ask you this: did he open his Celestial Eye on his left eye? Of course, there was a reason for injuring his left arm. Let me share some information with you. Do you know the devil chosen by heaven?
The Emperor Star's right arm is gone? "
The shock in Yang Jian's heart could no longer be described with words.
Bai Haoyu actually knew that the Emperor Star's eye was opened in the left eye, and now he said that the Demon Race's Emperor Star's right arm had been destroyed.
Left arm and right arm.
Could it be that there was some connection between them?
Back at the Bai Family estate, he'd fought Ye Zichen and Ye Zichen to a standstill, and had tried to kill them several times.
He had survived Patriarch Bai's self-destruction, a self-destruction at that level, and had even come to the Lightning Emperor's residence.
This guy was like a ball of mystery!
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm going to share some more information with you. If you get the chance, I hope you can speak to your Emperor Star on my behalf," transmitted Bai Haoyu. Bai Haoyu transmitted. "I'll be nice and explain to you why Xiao Ting took back his seat. In truth, someone ordered him to do so from behind the scenes!"
"Order? Who could order him around? "
"Did you see the white powder he sucked?" Said Bai Haoyu. "I secretly collected some of that powder and analyzed its composition. It contained Illusion Spirit Fruit."
Illusion Spirit Fruit!
It could create an illusion that numbed the user's nerves. Tens of thousands of years ago, Illusion Spirit Fruit was used to numb pain, but after using it, the user would become dependent on it. Furthermore, the environment in which it was grown was terrible. It required human blood to grow, so it was classified as a forbidden medicine. Since then, it's been a long time since anyone had seen one.
News.
During this time, he'd seen Xiao Ting inhale the powder several times. Based on the way he'd inhaled it, it seemed as if he'd ingested some hallucinogenic substance.
"The demons began cultivating it a thousand years ago and only succeeded a hundred years ago. Xiao Ting was one of their first users. My guess is that he wasn't the only one …. I'm sure quite a few experts of the god and yao race have consumed the powder as well. "
Bai Haoyu's messages never ceased, and Yang Jian's frown deepened.
"Illusion Spirit Fruit has a strong dependence. Once consumed, it'll go out of control. If you stop using it, you'll feel as if ten thousand ants are gnawing away at your bones. If the demons threatened him with the powder, do you think Xiao Ting would listen?
"Where did you hear about this?" asked Yang Jian. "I can't tell you. It's a secret I'm keeping. All you need to know is that Xiao Ting is being controlled from the shadows. I want to use this opportunity to tell you that your cover up for Xiao Ting is completely useless. The ones who are investigating you are actually the devils. "Bai Haoyu sighed.
Bai Haoyu chuckled.
Yang Jian's brows furrowed. If the demons really were investigating him, then perhaps ….
He really might expose himself.
Regardless of whether it was him or Ye Zichen, they'd put on a show for Xiao Ting to see. Although they knew Xiao Ting was working with the demons, they knew he wouldn't become their dog. He had his own judgment.
But if the demons threatened him with the fruit, there was a high chance he'd become their dog!
If that happened, the demons might discover some clues in their investigation!
Didn't that mean that Xiao Ting had called him over at a time like this to set up a trap?
Was there an ambush in the palace?
Yang Jian scanned the interior of the palace with his divine sense. Aside from Xiao Ting, Uncle An, and a few others, there was no sign of anyone else.
Just as Yang Jian was about to explore deeper, his body suddenly stiffened.
"Emissary Yang, are you interested in my palace?"
Suddenly, Xiao Ting grabbed his divine sense. By now, he'd already absorbed all the white powder on the foil. His sunken eyes revealed a sinister gleam.
"Just now, I sensed that Emissary Yang and Attendant Bai were communicating quite frequently. I wonder what they were talking about. Could you tell me a thing or two? You've been here for so long, yet you've never gotten to know me. It's really vexing. "
