Although his tone was flat, the arrogance in it was obvious. Mei He replied respectfully, "Yes!" But he was excited and shocked. The meaning of his master's words was very clear. That was, with his master's current cultivation, only the Immortal Emperor Jin Taicai was qualified to fight with him in the entire Immortal Palace. As for the others, they could not stop him at all, so there was no need for him to take them seriously.
Wang Qing stretched out a wide palm towards the crack that had condensed into a claw. A snow-blue light buried at the bottom of the abyss shot out with a "whoosh" and flipped in the air above the mountain peak. With a "clang", it decisively stabbed into the ground not far behind him.
Although almost half of the sword body was inserted into the stone ground, there was still a large part of the sword exposed. The flowing snow-blue light had already disappeared, and under the sunlight, there was a bright spot on the mountain peak that was shining brightly.
This "Six Dragon Snow Blue" sword was quietly inserted into the mountain peak. From beginning to end, Wang Qing didn't touch it even once. In the next few months, he still didn't touch it even once. In fact, he rarely even looked at it. The man and the sword faced each other from a distance, only communicating with each other through their minds that outsiders could not see. It was not until a few months later when Wang Qing left the mountain that the "Six Dragon Snow Blue" sword was pulled out of the mountain peak …
"If there is nothing else, you may leave!" Wang Qing said indifferently.
Mei He seemed to remember something and took out a small red box. He held it with both hands and said, "Huo Xiaozi wanted me to give this to Master!"
Wang Qing did not ask what it was. He took the red box and held it in his palm in silence. After Mei He left, he slowly opened it. The box was filled with snow-white silver sand. He tilted the box slightly, and the fine silver sand flowed out like water, drifting with the wind into the distance. Gradually, a snow-blue ring buried in the silver sand was revealed.
He stretched out two fingers and picked up the ring. After the red box was abandoned, the silver sand rolled out and fell into the crack under his feet. This was a ring that was slightly wider than an ordinary ring. The material was obviously the same as the material used to forge the "Six Dragon Snow Blue" sword. They were both rare Blue Sea Gold Essence in the Three Realms. There was a huge independent space in the ring, several times larger than the ten spaces in an ordinary storage bracelet.
However, this did not fail to attract Wang Qing's attention. His gaze landed on the inner surface of the ring. The two words "Ruoyun" were engraved on it, causing him to be unable to shift his gaze away for a long time. After a long time, Wang Qing sighed softly and said to himself, "Old Huo, are you reminding me to remember something?"
Not many people knew the meaning of "Ruoyun". It was a woman's name. It was the name of Wang Qing's first wife. Also, what no one knew was that his wife's surname was Huo and her name was Ruoyun. She was the sister of the Lifire Palace's sect leader, Huo Jun. Back then, there were three siblings. The eldest was Huo Huo Lie, Huo Kong Zi, the second was Huo Jun, Huo Xiao Zi, and the third was the younger sister, Huo Die, Huo Ruoyun. However, before the Lifire Palace was established, the third sister, Huo Die, had already married Wang Qing. Other than those involved, no one else knew about this.
Holding this snow-blue ring and silently looking at it for a while, Wang Qing finally put it on his left index finger …
In the Paradise Wonderland, in the back garden of the Immortal Palace's External Affairs Great Commander's mansion, the well-dressed Mu Tianjiao sat in a pavilion and silently wept. The quality of the golden robe was very good, and it didn't get wet even after being soaked. Her tears fell directly on it. Her right hand, which rested on the stone table, held a jade archive...
She did not know when Wu Xiong had appeared beside her. She was in a daze and did not notice him. Wu Xiong also looked at her silently, his face dark and gloomy. He didn't expect that even with so many people working together, they still couldn't kill Yue Qianchou. His plan to assassinate Yue Qianchou without anyone knowing had actually caused such a huge commotion. It was truly beyond his expectations.
The people over there shouldn't have made such a big mistake! Otherwise, no one would have an easy time … He asked himself this question more than once.
However, this was not what worried him the most. What worried him the most was that Yue Qianchou actually had the Token of the Emperor of the Underworld. Without a doubt, the matter would be blown out of proportion. Once the Token of the Emperor of the Underworld was revealed, it would be impossible not to attract the attention of the Immortal Emperor.
Fortunately, he received news from the other side that the matter had been resolved and that there was no need to investigate further. However, the other side was also urging him to leave the Immortal Palace as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might be in danger. However, Wu Xiong knew that if there really was danger, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to since he was already being watched.
Therefore, he mustered up his courage and went to the Immortal Palace to seek forgiveness from the Immortal Emperor, Jin Tai. He said that his father-in-law had used his name to collude with a group of people to seek revenge on Yue Qianchou in the Underworld. He was guilty of negligence and asked the Immortal Emperor to punish him. In the end, the Immortal Emperor Jin Tai said that the ignorant were not guilty. A mere Yue Qianchou was not as valuable as the life of his External Affairs Grand Commander. However, he did not want this to happen a second time.
Wu Xiong heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him profusely. Although it seemed like he was safe for the time being, his heart was still stretched taut. He was prepared to find a suitable opportunity to leave as soon as possible.
He had just returned from the Immortal Palace when he saw this scene. His gaze fell upon the jade archive in Mu Tianjiao's hands. He sighed softly and said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have had people deliver the news from the outside world to you every day."
Mu Tianjiao raised her head with tears streaming down her face. She looked at him and choked with sobs, "You knew all along?"
"News travels slower in the Underworld than in the Immortal Realm. When the news spreads in the Immortal Realm …" Wu Xiong walked up to her and patted her shoulder in consolation, "The news from the Immortal Palace arrived a few days earlier than you did. I've been thinking about how to break the news to you … I'm also very sad that something has happened to my father-in-law. However, the dead are dead, and the living have to look forward. My condolences, Madam!"
"As expected, he went to seek revenge on Yue Qianchou. I've been worried. I told him that he was no match for Yue Qianchou, but he wouldn't listen …" Mu Tianjiao suddenly stood up and grabbed Wu Xiong's hand. She lost control of her emotions and asked, "Who did it? Who killed my father? Those people had no grudge against my father. Why would they want to kill him? Was it Yue Qianchou who did it? "
Wu Xiong did not know how to answer her. The public news in Twilight City was that another group of people from the Underworld had killed Mu Bing, but he knew in his heart that he was afraid that Mu Bing had not experienced such a big scene. He was afraid that he would be implicated if things got out of hand, so he found some reliable people to cooperate with Mu Bing. Those people would not kill Mu Bing at all. In fact, the people involved in this matter knew very well that at that time, Hue Qianchou was outside the dungeon. There was no one else in the dungeon who would kill Mu Bing except for Yue Qianchou.
However, he could not say such words now. He only deeply regretted agreeing to Mu Bing in the first place! Wu Xiong looked at Mu Tianjiao and sighed slightly in his heart. The reason why he was jealous was that he really cared about this woman. Otherwise, he would not have done such an impulsive thing.
"According to the news from the other side, it should not be Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou was locked up alone in a dungeon at that time. It is unlikely that he would have the opportunity to kill father-in-law. This has been confirmed by the Army of Onyx." Wu Xiong said helplessly.
"But I saw the news that Yue Qianchou broke out with my father's head." Mu Tianjiao went straight to the point and cried intermittently. "Since he could break out of the dungeon, it means that the dungeon could not trap him. It means that he had the opportunity to kill my father. What's more, he has the token of the Emperor of the Underworld in his hand. He can command the Army of Onyx. Who knows if the Army of Onyx is cooperating with him to put on a show. "
This woman was as smart as ever. She saw the suspicious point at once! Wu Xiong sighed in his heart. He really did not know what to say. He could only grab her hand and comfort her. "Don't worry! The truth will come to light one day … "He originally wanted to say something about punishing the culprit, but when he thought of the terrifying Emperor of the Underworld standing behind Yue Qianchou, he really did not know if he would have the opportunity to settle the score with Yue Qianchou.
After a period of sadness, Mu Tianjiao wiped away her tears and revealed the strong expression that she had when she was supporting the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. She directly knelt before Wu Xiong. Wu Xiong was startled and quickly helped her up. "Madam! What are you doing? "
Seeing that she could no longer kneel, Mu Tianjiao said decisively, "My abilities are really limited, and I'm really powerless to do anything about the Netherworld. I beg the Great Commander to help me find my father's body in the Netherworld and bury it!"
"This …" Wu Xiong seemed to be in a difficult position. Mu Tianjiao bit her lip. "If it is really difficult, then forget it."
"Sigh!" Wu Xiong let out a long sigh. He took out a box made of jade from his storage bracelet and gently placed it on the stone table. He said helplessly, "The people of the Dark Nether Army have searched for father-in-law's body, but they couldn't find it. Instead … Yue Qianchou asked the people of the Heartless Palace to deliver father-in-law's head. It's … it's inside."
He was not lying. At that time, Lu Lin of the Onyx Army had considered that Mu Bing was the father-in-law of Wu Xiong, the Great Commander of External Affairs of the Immortal Palace, and had really sent people to the collapsed ground to search for Mu Bing's body. In fact, no one knew that Mu Bing had been dragged several hundred meters underground by Yue Qianchou and killed. His headless corpse had been cut into pieces and buried deep underground. Naturally, it was impossible to find him at such a depth of several hundred meters.
Mu Tianjiao opened the jade box with trembling hands. Mu Bing's twisted head was lying inside. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot before his death. Fortunately, the corpse of an immortal wouldn't rot so easily in a short period of time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to see who it was.
Mu Tianjiao's tears fell silently again. She bit her lips until blood came out and forcefully controlled her emotions. She stared at the bloody and empty eyes on Mu Bing's head and said, "My father didn't have that much of a grudge with those people. They didn't have to kill him, chop off his head, and gouge out his eyes. If they didn't have a deep grudge, they wouldn't have done such a thing …"
