The heavens trembled, and the mountains shook!
Rumbling sounds could be heard, as if thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping over.
The black mass of soldiers descended from the sky, filled with killing intent and intimidating everyone.
This was a group of elites, and even their mounts were pure-blooded ferocious beasts. Their eyes were scarlet, and they were powerful. Their fur was like silk, and they emitted a dazzling divine light.
"Kill!"
This group of soldiers had received the news from the palace and rushed here in just a short while.
The Empress had been attacked, and this matter shook the entire court, causing everyone to be furious.
After the army of the palace quickly gathered, they rushed to the Black-White Academy through the teleportation array.
At this moment, they charged forward like a torrent and began to encircle and annihilate the numerous assassins who had not managed to escape in time.
Instantly, a massacre began. Wails and screams could be heard everywhere.
The situation was over. No matter how unwilling the assassins were, they could do nothing. They began to flee in all directions.
However, their fleeing speed could not compare to the speed of the many soldiers chasing after them.
Many people saw that it was difficult to escape, so they chose to self-destruct on the spot. Their bodies and souls were destroyed, and blood mist drifted. It was extremely ruthless, not leaving anyone alive.
"It's over. These assassins have begun to retreat. They are all escaping outside."
"They persevered. It was really a false alarm. Fortunately, Young Master Changge held back the Night Demons. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"Yes, if it weren't for Young Master Changge, Her Majesty the Empress would have been doomed this time. It's hard to imagine that the other party actually prepared so many methods to assassinate Her Majesty. They even took out the weapon that the Xuanyang Demon Emperor once used … "
"That's a Monarch weapon! Fortunately, Young Master Changge still has the Sky Palm Tower in his hands. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to block it. "
Many of the Demon Race ministers saw this scene and heaved a sigh of relief. They were all very emotional.
In the battle just now, they had also suffered many injuries.
However, compared to these injuries, they were more worried about the poison that the Empress had been poisoned with.
If the poison was strong, the Demon Realm would probably be in chaos in a short period of time. It would cause panic.
The attack this time would probably implicate many big shots.
Even if the Empress was at her peak, it would not be easy for her to deal with a Supreme-Being like Ye Yao with the Xuanyang Heavenly Saber.
"Hmph, that guy got away. A guy who hides his head but only shows his tail. He doesn't dare to show his true face! "
"But since His Majesty is fine, we can rest assured."
Up in the sky, the Sky King of Chaos, the Grand Tutor, and the others all landed. They were all covered in blood and wounds. Some wounds were so deep that their bones could be seen.
Their opponents were very strong. Some of them were even stronger than them.
If it weren't for the fact that they had more people, they would have been defeated and killed long ago.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Soon, everyone had no time to recover from their injuries. They all turned into divine rainbows and flew toward the peak of the Holy Mountain.
"That's great. We managed to hold on. The assassins have all escaped."
Seeing that the attack was finally over, many of the Heaven's Prides were overjoyed and they let out a long sigh of relief.
Many people were paralyzed on the ground. Just now, they had been holding on with their last breath.
"Even if you fail this time, there's always a next time."
Jun Fan closed his eyes and imitated the other young Heaven's Prides. He sat cross-legged on the ground to rest and recover from his injuries.
His heart was filled with unwillingness, but at this time, no one was paying attention to it.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Song Youwei was also stained with blood. She had rushed over from the Holy Mountain and asked respectfully.
"I'm fine..."
Empress Xi Yao shook her head.
She stood on the mountain peak and looked in the direction of the outer realm. With her current ability, she couldn't sense the battle that was happening there.
Although she knew that Gu Changge was very strong, she couldn't be sure before the results were out.
After all, her opponent was a Night Demon. He was already a figure who dominated the Demon Realm six thousand years ago. Now that he had the Xuanyang Heavenly Saber, he was like a tiger that had grown wings. He was almost invincible.
And just as Empress Xi Yao was thinking about this …
Suddenly, a faint fluctuation came from the outer realm. Then, the void in front of her blurred, and Gu Changge's figure appeared.
His expression was calm and his robes were new, without a speck of dust on them.
Empress Xi Yao and Song Youwei were both stunned. They couldn't believe that Gu Changge looked so relaxed.
He didn't seem to have any problems, and there were no injuries on his body. His aura was stable and there weren't any chaotic fluctuations.
If they hadn't seen the battle between him and the Night Demon with their own eyes, no one would believe that this was what Gu Changge looked like after a great battle.
"Thank you for your help, Young Master Changge. Are you okay?"
Empress Xi Yao cupped her hands at Gu Changge and asked.
Song Youwei also looked at Gu Changge in disbelief.
How does he look like someone who just went through a great battle?
"Of course I'm fine."
Gu Changge waved his hand casually. Then, he said in a somewhat regretful tone, "That guy was smart.
He suddenly ran away in the end. I was worried about this side, so I didn't chase after him. Are you okay here? I saw that the assassin had already retreated. "
"The Night Demon ran away?"
"It seems that these assassins ran away because of that."
Song Youwei was a little enlightened. She admired Gu Changge even more.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Changge. I'm fine."
Empress Xi Yao shook her head. She didn't believe Gu Changge's words.
She felt that this matter wasn't as simple as what Gu Changge said.
The Night Demon probably didn't run away, but was killed by him.
If the Night Demon had really run away, then Gu Changge shouldn't have such an expression. She understood him a little now.
Therefore, the Xuanyang Heavenly Blade should be in Gu Changge's hands now.
However, since Gu Changge didn't say anything, she tactfully didn't ask.
She had already owed Gu Changge a big favor for what had happened today.
Although the Xuanyang Heavenly Blade was precious, it shouldn't be much to Gu Changge.
When the Purple Mansion was destroyed, most of the resources fell into his hands.
One or two Emperor weapons might be precious to an ordinary orthodoxy, but Gu Changge even had immortal items like the Heavenly Palm Tower.
Now, she was a little curious about how Gu Changge killed the Night Demon.
"It's good that you're fine."
Hearing this, Gu Changge smiled as if he was very concerned.
Just as Empress Xi Yao thought, after the Night Demon died, the Xuanyang Heavenly Blade naturally fell into his hands.
Apart from that, it also included the Night Demon's Supreme Origin.
However, since he didn't say anything, Empress Xi Yao should be smart enough not to ask too much.
Gu Changge's trip to the Monster Realm this time was to look for the Monster Emperor's son and Bai Lian 'er.
However, if he encountered something like the Supreme Origin, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
It wasn't that Gu Changge wanted to hide the news of the Night Demon's death.
It was because he realized that the Night Demon didn't leave anything like a life token. If news of the Night Demon's death spread, Jun Bufan might panic.
He planned to use Jun Bufan to lure out the big fish behind him, so he naturally didn't want to alert the enemy.
Now, according to the current situation in the Monster Realm.
Empress Xi Yao was indeed just a chess piece. The real chess player was still behind the scenes and hadn't shown himself.
Even the Son of Providence, Jun Bufan, was the same. If he wanted to interfere in this situation, he must first lure out the big fish behind the scenes.
"The real chess player should be the six Monster Emperors who disappeared before. What secrets do they have?"
Gu Changge was very interested in their so-called secret.
There were only two possibilities for this secret. One was that it involved the Monster Realm, and the other was that it involved themselves.
"So, either it's related to the Monster Realm, or it's related to them. Carrying the Monster Realm's fate, could it be that they plan to ascend or reach the Immortal Realm?"
Gu Changge was very interested in this.
Then, a group of ministers rushed over. When they saw that Empress Xi Yao was fine, they heaved a sigh of relief and expressed their worry and fear.
To be honest, this attack had shocked many people. Until now, they still hadn't recovered from the shock.
The fact that Empress Xi Yao was able to survive was already a great stroke of luck.
If Gu Changge hadn't suddenly gone to the Monster Realm, there would probably be no Empress Xi Yao in this world after today!
"About this rebellion, I don't know if Her Majesty has any idea?"
Gu Changge had been paying attention to the expressions of Qing Zhu and Jun Bufan.
Compared to Jun Bufan's calmness, Qing Zhu's face was much paler, and she was a little frightened. Presumably, Empress Xi Yao had already discovered the problem without him saying anything.
"Thank you, Young Master Changge, for your reminder. I was ignorant and arrogant, so I was betrayed by someone close to me."
"This kind of thing will never happen again from now on."
Hearing this, Empress Xi Yao sighed deeply. She naturally knew what Gu Changge was talking about.
Gu Changge smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty, you have to move faster. Otherwise, the dead can't testify."
"The dead can't testify?"
Empress Xi Yao was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized what Gu Changge meant, and her face became even colder.
"Men, bring Qing Zhu to me."
Her voice was cold and contained great majesty.
Gu Changge glanced at Jun Bufan in the crowd with interest.
As expected of the Son of Destiny, he was very meticulous.
In his opinion, the reason why Jun Bufan was still calm was that he was not worried that Qing Zhu would expose his true identity.
In that case, he should have already thought of a way out.
After all, in this world, there was no other person who could keep a secret better than the dead.
However, Gu Changge was a little curious. How did Jun Bufan control Qing Zhu's life and death?
Life Spirit? Spell? Or Gu? Poison?
If Qing Zhu knew, she would definitely choose the Life Spirit or the spell. After all, he could control her life and death at any time.
Generally speaking, the time when Gu and poison would take effect couldn't be controlled at any time.
However, there were exceptions to everything. He just didn't know how ruthless Jun Bufan was.
Hearing this, the people present were stunned at first. Then, they realized the meaning of these words, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Her Majesty was poisoned. Besides the people closest to her, who else could do it?
And from the looks of it, it was actually the female official Qing Zhu?
Everyone was a little in disbelief. The four female officials by the Empress' side were like her right-hand men who had accompanied her for hundreds of years.
Many people saw the female officials of the Empress as if they were seeing the Empress herself.
However, now they learned that the female official Qing Zhu had betrayed the Empress.
This was so shocking that they couldn't believe it.
"What …"
"How is this possible? Qing Zhu?"
Qing Mei, Qing Lan, and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. Their sister who had accompanied them for hundreds of years had betrayed the Empress?
This was simply a fantasy story.
However, seeing Qing Zhu's pale face and trembling lips, they fell silent and had no choice but to believe it.
In the crowd, Jun Fan maintained a calm appearance, but his heart was also very shaken.
According to his original plan, if the assassination failed, then he would let the poison in Qing Zhu's body explode before Empress Xi Yao found out who betrayed her. Then, her body and soul would be destroyed, and everything would be destroyed.
However, in his opinion, this would still take some time.
He didn't believe that Empress Xi Yao could find out who betrayed her at the first moment. There was a process of investigation.
However, looking at the current situation, Empress Xi Yao almost instantly found out who betrayed her.
And Qing Zhu's current performance was needless to say. The word "betrayal" was written on her face.
This was greatly beyond his expectations.
"I overestimated Qing Zhu's performance and underestimated Xi Yao …"
Jun Fan frowned. Fortunately, the poison he used before was not ordinary and could be controlled by him.
If he saw that the situation was bad, he could only bear the pain and control the poison in Qing Zhu's body to explode, not letting her expose her identity.
Thinking of this, he was more or less relieved.
"It's Gu Changge again. If he hadn't reminded Xi Yao just now, this definitely wouldn't have happened. I have no enmity with him, but he has ruined my plans time and time again …"
Looking at Gu Changge, Jun Fan's expression was a little gloomy.
At this moment, everyone watched this scene in silence.
Qing Zhu was escorted to Empress Xi Yao by several guards. Her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her entire person was terrified and terrified.
"I feel that I have treated you well. Seven hundred years ago, you were still an ordinary bamboo, and you were almost swallowed by an ox demon. At that time, I was the one who saved you and brought you back to the Imperial Palace …"
Empress Xi Yao's expression was very calm. There was no fluctuation in her emotions, and she didn't show any anger.
She also didn't ask why Qing Zhu betrayed her. She just casually talked about what happened in the past.
In her eyes, Qing Zhu started out as an ordinary green bamboo with a bit of spiritual energy. Step by step, she cultivated and took human form, and then grew to where she was today.
Although she was a female official, the emotions contained in her were not something that ordinary people could compare to.
As for family? She was more like a child that she had watched grow up.
This feeling of being betrayed could not be described as simple pain.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"How could Official Qing Zhu betray Her Majesty …"
"Why is that?" Song Youwei also felt that this scene was simply too dreamy.
In the crowd, looking at Empress Xi Yao's expression, Jun Fan suddenly felt some joy in his heart.
Didn't he feel like this when he was betrayed by Xi Yao?
Wasn't all of this because Xi Yao asked for it and suffered the consequences of her own actions?
"Your Majesty, please kill me. I have wronged you. "
Hearing this, Qing Zhu's face was also full of pain as she knelt on the ground.
"Kill you?" Empress Xi Yao turned to look at her with an inexplicable expression in her eyes.
In fact, after questioning Qing Zhu that night, she should have been vigilant.
At that time, she felt that this matter was not a big deal. After she told Qing Zhu, Qing Zhu would definitely do as she instructed.
However, she overestimated Qing Zhu's loyalty.
"Please kill me, Your Majesty. I have wronged you. I shouldn't have poisoned your food." Qing Zhu's expression was incomparably painful as she knelt on the ground.
Empress Xi Yao shook her head and said indifferently, "Tell me, who arranged for you to do this? In addition, you weren't the only one who poisoned the food. Someone also poisoned the imperial wine. Only when these two poisons are mixed together will it explode. "
Qing Zhu suddenly shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you should just kill me. I can't say it."
"Stupid." Empress Xi Yao frowned. She didn't expect Qing Zhu to still protect the person behind her at this time.
"I feel that Your Majesty won't be able to get anything out of her by asking like this. Why don't you just search her soul? It'll be faster that way."
At this moment, Gu Changge, who had been watching the show from the side, suddenly spoke with a smile.
He knew that Empress Xi Yao was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to do this.
However, as the Empress, how could she be soft-hearted over such a small matter?
Since she subconsciously resisted this matter, then when the bad guy spoke, he would do it.
"Gu Changge …" Seeing this scene, Jun Fan's expression changed slightly. In his heart, he hated Gu Changge to the core.
Empress Xi Yao glanced at Gu Changge and nodded. "Young Master Changge's words make sense. Qing Zhu, since you don't want to speak, then I can only have someone search your soul. "
She didn't expect Gu Changge to force her like this.
However, since even he said so, she had no reason to refuse.
Being soft-hearted was not something she should have.
"Your Majesty, I say …"
Qing Zhu's face was pale and she was extremely terrified. She naturally knew what a soul search meant.
This was a kind of torture that was comparable to torture. It was so painful that one's soul could be destroyed at any time because they couldn't bear it.
If Empress Xi Yao insisted on searching her soul, then her secret with Jun Fan would definitely be exposed.
"Actually, Ye Yao found me and asked me to cooperate with him …"
At this moment, she still had some hope in her heart that Jun Fan had a way to save her, so she started to think of a reason to fool him and stall for time.
"You are indeed stupid." Gu Changge couldn't help but laugh with a somewhat mocking expression.
"Shut up. At this point, you don't want to tell the truth and are still lying to me." Empress Xi Yao's expression was cold. How could she not know what Qing Zhu was planning?
She was a little angry, but more than that, she was cold.
However, in the next moment, Qing Zhu's eyes suddenly widened as if she couldn't believe it. Then, black blood gushed out from the corner of her mouth.
She didn't seem to dare to believe that all this was real. She turned her head and tried to look down, but the light in her eyes finally disappeared. She was destroyed on the spot.
"She didn't commit suicide for fear of punishment. It seems that the other party has already left a way out."
"The person behind Qing Zhu's actions must be near the Holy Mountain. They haven't gone far."
Empress Xi Yao's expression didn't change at all. Since Qing Zhu had chosen to do this, then she naturally had to be prepared for the consequences.
In her opinion, everyone present was suspicious. As long as she looked at the people Qing Zhu had interacted with before, she could narrow down the scope of the search.
Seeing this, Gu Changge smiled and said, "Yes, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely be able to catch the person behind this."
Qing Zhu's death was within his expectations.
Jun Bufan definitely wouldn't let anyone search for Qing Zhu's soul. Otherwise, his current identity would definitely be exposed.
Before this, Gu Changge also didn't want Jun Bufan's identity to be exposed so quickly. He was still waiting for this bait to lure Bai Lian 'er out.
If he guessed correctly, the item in the brocade bag should be related to the secret of the whereabouts of the Six Emperors of the Demon Realm.
Jun Bufan looked at all this calmly. His heart had already calmed down. Now that the trouble was temporarily solved, there were still some follow-up issues to be dealt with.
Soon, what happened at the Holy Mountain of the Black-White Academy today shook the entire Demon Realm. Even many orthodoxies in the Upper Realm heard some news.
The scale of this attack could be said to be the largest in the past six thousand years.
There were even Supreme powerhouses who appeared, holding the Xuanyang Heavenly Blade that used to be the Xuanyang Demon Emperor.
As for the Quasi-Supreme and Supreme Saint assassins, there were also many of them. Their strength was monstrous, and they killed many people.
Many of the great clans of the Demon Realm also suffered heavy casualties in this attack. Among the servants who followed, many suddenly went on a killing spree.
In addition, many young Heavenly Talents also died, tragically under the hands of many assassins.
And the most shocking thing was that Empress Xi Yao had been attacked. The person closest to her had actually poisoned her food.
Although the person who poisoned her in the end had died, this matter was still not over.
Empress Xi Yao began to thoroughly investigate the people around her, and the entire imperial court was cleaned up.
None of the officials in charge of the imperial wine escaped. No matter the reason for the betrayal, their entire family was executed.
The entire Demon Realm was in a reign of terror. Many of the great clans were in danger, afraid that Empress Xi Yao would suddenly attack them.
Of course, in this rebellion, some people were cleaned up and killed, but naturally, there were also people who were rewarded.
Empress Xi Yao saw the bravery of the King of Chaos, the Grand Tutor, and the others in this rebellion and naturally rewarded them with many treasures.
It was the same for many young Heavenly Talents. Not only did they become famous, but they also contributed to protecting Her Majesty and were greatly rewarded.
After cleaning up the imperial court, Empress Xi Yao began to send people to watch everywhere, intending to find traces of Jun Bufan.
She was also investigating Qing Zhu's previous movements and movements, trying to find clues from it.
After changing her way of thinking, many things became clear.
Since it was very likely that Jun Bufan's remnant soul had been reborn, then he was bound to have relatives in this life. Before this, she had completely overlooked this point. As a result, many of the people she knew very well were very suspicious.
Moreover, in this life, Jun Bufan's parents were very likely to be kept in the dark, or in other words, his accomplices.
With this clue, Empress Xi Yao was not worried that she would not be able to find him. It was only a matter of time.
Of course, during this period, in order to thank Gu Changge for saving her, she naturally kept her promise and truthfully told him many things that happened more than six thousand years ago.
Dealing with these matters made her very mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, the poison in her body was not serious at that time. Under the treatment of many doctors, the poison began to recede after a few days, and she could already use her magic power.
At this moment, in the Imperial Palace, in the bathtub carved out of bluestone, water vapor rose like a celestial mist, and many petals floated on it.
An infinitely beautiful body, which seemed to be condensed from the best celestial jade, was soaking in it. Her black hair was scattered, and her eyes were half-closed as she murmured softly.
"Is this because you are willing to help me, or is it purely a deal between us?"
"If I had refused at that time, would I not be here now?"
As for the reason, it was difficult for her to say.
Gu Changge was really difficult for her to understand.
The perfection that he showed was nothing more than the side that he wanted others to see.
In the beginning, she treated Gu Changge as a junior that she could talk to, or even a confidant.
Because Gu Changge understood her many intentions and the painstaking efforts that she had put in for the Demon Realm.
But then, the more she understood Gu Changge, the more she realized that every word he said and every action he did had a strong purpose.
Such a person was indeed worth relying on, but the premise was that she had value to him.
If she had no value, then this dependence could be ruthlessly destroyed by him at any time.
He only showed the side that she wanted to see, which was why he seemed so perfect that it was almost unreal.
Such a person would never know what he was thinking in his heart.
"You can't say that. How can there be so many ifs in this world?"
"Moreover, I don't think this is important at all. It is a matter of mutual consent."
"Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"
Outside the bathtub, there was a curtain.
When Gu Changge heard this, he put the white jade wine cup to the corner of his mouth and took a sip. His expression was calm as he smiled.
"Indeed, this is a matter of mutual consent."
Empress Xi Yao nodded. With a splash, she got up and walked towards him. Mending.
