Nie Hua looked at the handwriting on the letter. His fingers tightened, and the letter wrinkled.
The youth in white said softly, "Third Senior Brother …"
"I know. Calm down." Nie Hua took a deep breath and exhaled. "It's just a sword. We can't be sure if Fourth Junior Brother is dead or alive. The Demon King might be deceiving us."
The youth in the royal robe looked at Ying Qingqing with a smile. "You two are right. But at least we can be sure that the Demon King values Miss Qingqing more than we expected."
Ying Qingqing calmly looked at the three without any change in her expression.
The youth in white said, "The only thing I can be sure of is that there might be spies from the Devil religion or experts from the Devil religion following and spying on us. Otherwise, the Demon King would not know that Miss Ying is here so quickly."
"Mister Fifth is right. I have already asked Master Mingfa to search outside." The youth in the royal robe smiled. "I think there might be people from the Devil religion secretly following and monitoring Miss Qingqing. Of course, it could also be said that they are secretly protecting her. "
The youth in white said, "As for Miss Ying, I don't think we should jump to conclusions."
He took the letter from Nie Hua's hands and waved it lightly. "The greater goal of this letter might be to drive a wedge between us, to cause a rift between us."
The youth in the royal robe looked at Ying Qingqing with a smile.
Ying Qingqing did not say anything.
"Mister Fifth truly lives up to the name of the Brilliant Sword. I admire you, but …" The youth in the royal robe smiled. "Forgive me, but it's hard for me to imagine that Cult Leader Chen, who has always had his eyes on the top of his head and no one else in his eyes, would use such a trick like sowing discord."
Intellectual Sword stone mirror.
He was the fifth disciple of the Sword King.
He joined the Sword Pavilion last, but his achievements were not inferior to the other four.
Although he was only seventeen, everyone in China addressed him as' Mister Fifth '.
"Your Highness is right. I wouldn't think of this under normal circumstances." The stone mirror was calm. "But what if he is not feeling well?"
The youth in the royal robe said calmly, "The latest news is that the Black Emperor Seok was defeated by the Demon King's Fist at Qianzhou's Thousand Tide Mountain. He lost miserably."
Shi Jing nodded. "I've heard about it as well, but as far as I know, there's something fishy about the process.
Black Emperor Seok had lost more to himself than to his opponent.
Although we can't be sure if it's a coincidence, the Demon Emperor's victory was somewhat a trick. Even if he was healthy and in peak condition, the result of that battle was still very special. It couldn't show the true difference in strength between the two sides, nor could it prove whether the Demon Emperor had recovered from his injuries. "
As he spoke, he shook his head lightly.
"If it's really a coincidence and the Black Emperor was just unlucky, then it's fine. But what if the Demon King had planned it? At the very least, this means that his condition isn't suitable for a head-on clash with the Black Emperor. Or perhaps, he needs to conserve his strength as much as possible so that he can still fight when he returns to the Devil religion headquarters. "
The youth in the royal robe smiled and applauded. "That makes sense. According to what Mister Fifth has said, this is our chance? As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. I don't dare to hope that I can defeat the Demon Emperor in one battle, but perhaps I can rescue Mister Fourth? "
Nie Hua frowned slightly. "Why does Your Highness have to be so harsh? Although we miss Fourth Junior Brother, the people of the world are more important. If the Demon Emperor's injuries are really not light, we definitely can't let Miss Ying fall into his hands. "
"Mister Third has misunderstood, really misunderstood." The youth in the royal robe shook his head repeatedly.
He smiled and said, "The few of you value righteousness more than life and death. I definitely trust you. Otherwise, Mister Fourth wouldn't have fought alone in Shu Prefecture back then."
Nie Hua's brows furrowed even more tightly when he heard this.
The Sixth Prince of the Great Xia Empire, who was in front of him, continued, "If it's really as Mister Fifth said, this is indeed a good opportunity to rescue Mister Fourth.
At the very least, we can test the Demon Emperor's injuries to determine how well he has recovered. This is also crucial to the current situation, and it's enough to change the course of the universe.
Of course, we are going to stroke the tiger's whiskers. We must plan in detail and come up with a foolproof plan, especially for Miss Qingqing's safety. "
As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Ying Qingqing.
Ying Qingqing didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
At this moment, she even closed her eyes slightly, as if she was meditating.
The Sixth Prince smiled and nodded at Nie Hua and Shi Jing. "The Devil religion will definitely contact us after this. We will adapt accordingly."
He left with his subordinates.
Nie Hua and Shi Jing looked at each other in dismay and fell silent for a moment.
Ying Qingqing opened her eyes. "What does he want to do?"
"He wants us to be brothers, and he wants our master to support him in the fight for the throne." Nie Hua said in a muffled voice, "Emperor Xia hasn't appointed a successor, but the most promising ones are the First, Second, Fourth, and Sixth Princes."
The Great Xia Empire was extremely wary of the Sword Pavilion.
But they were also extremely dependent on it.
This was a risky move by the Sixth Prince.
It might do more harm than good, and it might even make Emperor Xia unhappy.
But if he wanted to catch up, he could only take some risks and do what others didn't dare to.
"I see." Ying Qingqing nodded. "What do you mean?"
Nie Hua fell silent again.
Shi Jing said, "We don't want to get involved in the matter of the Great Xia Empire's successor.
At present, if possible, we certainly hope to save Fourth Senior Brother.
But the situation is not clear yet. In accordance with the Sixth Prince's last sentence, we can only adapt to the situation for the time being and at least confirm Fourth Senior Brother's life. "
Ying Qingqing nodded.
Shi Jing looked at her and pursed his lips.
Nie Hua said, "Fourth Junior Brother, we want to save him. Miss Ying, we won't let you fall into the Devil's Den again."
Ying Qingqing smiled. "It might not be the Devil's Den."
"That's why I said, Miss Ying, you're really honest." Nie Hua smiled bitterly. "With your attitude, we dare not let you leave."
Shi Jing said, "We'll break camp and set off for Xiangzhou later. We won't disturb your rest, we'll take our leave first."
The two left.
Ying Qingqing was the only one left in the tent.
She was lost in thought for a while. "What kind of person are you?"
When she came back to her senses, she sighed again.
"What kind of person am I in the past?"
…
Chen Luoyang listened to Jingang's report and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
He recalled the map and documents of Xiangzhou in his mind, and then ordered, "Send a message to the other side. Three days later, Ding Tai Mountain will replace the successor. If they don't arrive on time, prepare to collect the corpses of their fellow disciples."
Ding Tai Mountain was located in the northern part of Xiangzhou. It was one of the thousands of mountains in Nanjiang. It had a vast terrain and beautiful mountains.
Geographically speaking, it was about the same distance between the two sides.
"As the Hierarch commands," Jingang answered respectfully.
Then, he chuckled and said, "Hierarch, your order to capture Jie Xingmang was really far-sighted. The Sword Pavilion and the Xia dynasty will definitely have internal strife now."
"It won't be that easy. Now that they've joined forces against us, even if they have a grudge against us, they'll at most fight in the dark. They won't fall apart immediately." Chen Luoyang said calmly, "Moreover, I didn't spare the lives of the Sword Pavilion disciples for that."
Jingang said sincerely, "Miss Qingqing must be very touched if she knows."
Chen Luoyang didn't comment.
She wasn't that shallow.
However, the more she was like that, the easier it was for her to take the bait.
This time, the godly teammates who helped him weren't just the Sword Pavilion and the Xia dynasty …
