Hearing Bai Lian 'er's words, Jun Fan nodded and began to think of an excuse. But at this time, he suddenly felt a subtle change in the surrounding terrain.
"What is this …"
Bai Lian 'er frowned as she also felt the change.
"Is it you? Bufan? "
A faint and ethereal voice sounded and then entered Jun Fan's and Bai Lian 'er's ears.
"This … this is Sister Ruoxi's voice."
"Is it you? Sister Ruoxi … "
Hearing this voice, Jun Fan was stunned at first, then joy appeared on his face. He couldn't help but ask.
He was planning to find Jun Ruoxi, but he didn't expect Jun Ruoxi to find him.
Although this voice hadn't sounded for more than six thousand years, he couldn't be more familiar with it.
"It's me, Sister Ruoxi. Where are you now?" Jun Fan's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
"Follow the voice and you will find me."
The ethereal voice rang out once again, and it contained a hint of excitement and joy.
"Jun Ruoxi."
Bai Lian 'er's expression changed slightly, then followed behind Jun Fan, following the source of the voice.
At this time, in the depths of the Life Forbidden Zone, there was a low bluestone ancient well. Dense purple mist rose from it, leading to the depths of the earth vein.
And there was a vague figure sitting cross-legged, bobbing up and down, as if she was cultivating, but also as if she was sealed inside.
It was a woman, motionless, as if she had no vitality. Her skin was as white as jade, and her white hair covered her face.
If there were cultivators here, they would definitely be shocked, because the spring water in this ancient well was a very rare divine spring. It flowed with multicolored light, and the chains of laws intertwined. It was very mystical.
And the aura here was extremely chaotic and terrifying. Even if a Saint stepped in, they would instantly explode into powder, leaving nothing behind.
In addition, this ancient well contained a shocking life aura, as if it was the legendary Spring of Life.
The white-haired woman closed her eyes tightly, motionless, but now it seemed like she was about to open them.
Finally, two terrifying rays of divine light shot out from her eyes. They were golden and resplendent, containing exceptional divine might.
"Bufan, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for six thousand years."
The woman's gaze became very gentle. However, her body seemed to be unable to move, and she continued to sit cross-legged on the ground.
"Sister Ruoxi, are you in this well?"
At this moment, Jun Fan's shocked voice drifted in from the outside. He followed the source of the voice and immediately found this place. However, he only saw an ancient well and didn't see Jun Ruoxi's silhouette.
Behind him, Bai Lian 'er was holding a translucent Image Recording Stone under her sleeve. She was quietly imprinting the scenes of this place into the Image Recording Stone.
She discovered that this ancient well was extraordinary, as if it contained endless life force. Immortal energy rose, to the extent where her cultivation base even showed signs of loosening a bit.
One must know that her cultivation was at the peak of the Quasi-Supreme realm. It had been many years since she had made a breakthrough in this realm.
And now, because of this well, he actually felt a mysterious change.
This shook her to the core.
What was hidden in this well? Was Jun Ruoxi hiding among them?
"I'm here. Bufan, don't go near this place. With your current cultivation base, you can't do this."
Hearing Jun Fan's words, Jun Ruoxi, who was in the well, spoke. Although she was looking at the void in front of her, her gaze seemed to have landed on Jun Fan's face.
"I know, sister."
Jun Fan nodded, but his heart was still shaken. He also felt the mystery of this ancient well.
Soon, he remembered the important matter of coming here and was about to tell Jun Ruoxi to be careful.
However, before he could say anything, Jun Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I already know what you're going to say. They won't be able to find me here. Unless it's someone I want to see, it's impossible for them to find me. When I made the contract with Xiyao, it was only to delay her. I know that you have some doubts in your heart, but it's hard for me to explain it to you now. You just need to know that only by opening the Death Gate with the key can you find father and personally ask him the truth. "
"There's not much I can tell you."
Hearing this, Jun Fan's heart was shaken. Could it be that there's still some unknown secret about what happened six thousand years ago?
He was poisoned to death by Xiyao and then reincarnated. Was there a hidden story behind it all?
"Key, what's that? And the Death Gate you mentioned, where is it? "
Jun Fan had too many doubts in his heart and his mind was in a mess.
"I think father has already given you the key. As for the Death Gate, I don't know where it is. Only the person with the key can find it, "Jun Ruoxi said slowly.
"Life Gate, Death Gate, could it be that the ancient well you're in is the Life Gate?"
Jun Fan couldn't help but ask. He suddenly remembered that he once heard his father say, 'Enter the Death Gate, exit the Life Gate'.
At that time, he had specially asked him, but his father only smiled and didn't explain.
From the looks of it, these two matters seemed to be closely related.
Hearing this, Jun Ruoxi nodded and said, "You're right. Now that I'm in charge of guarding the Life Gate, I can't leave this place before it opens."
"There's not much time left for me. You need to find father quickly. He should have something important to tell you."
Hearing this, Bai Lian 'er's heart was even more strange. She knew that there were two gates in the Demon Realm. One was the Life Gate, and the other was the Death Gate.
These two gates were set up by the most ancient Demon Realm supreme beings. There were countless mysterious formations inside, and ordinary people would die without a doubt if they accidentally entered.
And these two gates were related to the biggest secret of the Demon Realm.
She was suddenly very curious. Jun Ruoxi obviously knew something.
Now it seemed that there was a hidden story behind the disappearance of the Six Emperors.
In other words, her father's escape for so many years and even the death of her mother were actually related to the Six Emperors.
Moreover, her father foolishly regarded the Xuanyang Demon Emperor as a brother and helped him keep the brocade pouch for more than six thousand years. In the end, he even asked her to give it to Jun Bufan.
These six thousand years of hiding and being hunted was really ironic.
Thinking of this, Bai Lian 'er's expression became even colder.
Then, Jun Fan and Jun Ruoxi began to talk about their experiences over the years. Bai Lian 'er looked at all this coldly, and the jade hand that held the Image Recording Stone tightened.
She was a little worried that Jun Ruoxi would notice. Fortunately, the jade pendant left by her father was finally reliable, and did not let Jun Ruoxi notice her secret actions.
Bai Lian 'er's eyes were gloomy.
Just a moment ago, Jun Fan was still hesitating whether to save her father, and did not consider the cause of this matter at all.
Compared to Gu Changge's indifference and hypocrisy, Jun Fan made her feel more disgusted.
Then, Jun Fan and Jun Ruoxi parted ways and went to find the Untainted King. Bai Lian 'er followed his request and hid in the void, not showing herself.
At the same time, she created a Dharma body and handed the Image Recording Stone to Gu Changge, completing the task that Gu Changge had asked her to do.
Naturally, the task of clearing out this life forbidden zone did not succeed. The Untainted King led a large army and searched inside and out, but did not find any trace of Jun Ruoxi and Jun Bufan. In the end, he could only return empty-handed.
He felt that Jun Ruoxi and Jun Bufan had already heard the news and had already escaped before he came here.
Although disappointed, he was not surprised. After all, the two were not stupid. How could they stay there and wait for others to kill them?
However, Jun Fan did not return to the imperial capital with the army. He planned to find the Gate of Death first. According to Jun Ruoxi, his father gave him the key to open the Gate of Death.
Only with this key, he could find the Gate of Death.
As for where the key was, he already had a guess in his heart.
During this process, he opened the brocade pouch that the Xuanyang Demon Emperor left for him. After learning the message in it, he was stunned for a long time, unable to come back to his senses. In the end, his mood was very complicated, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Rejoice? Anger? Unwillingness? Confusion … all kinds of feelings.
In the end, he let out a long sigh. If everything was just a misunderstanding like what the brocade pouch said, then what was the point of his revenge?
…
"Your Majesty, I led the army to clear out this life forbidden zone for a week, but did not find any trace of Jun Ruoxi and Jun Bufan. I suspect that they have already escaped and did not choose to stay there. I was too late … "
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
In the magnificent palace, the Untainted King, who had returned from the life forbidden zone, was now reporting the result of the matter.
Empress Xi Yao, in a phoenix robe, was sitting on the head of the table. Hearing his words, her face was very gloomy. She seemed to be angry, but more than that, she was cold.
She did not say a word.
Everyone in the hall looked very solemn. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they did not dare to breathe too loudly. They felt that Empress Xi Yao was not in a good mood.
Even the Grand Tutor, the Duke-guarding Marshal, and the others were silent, waiting for the development of the situation.
Cold sweat also broke out on the Untainted King's forehead.
In his opinion, it was because of his incompetence that the Empress was angry.
"Guards, take the Untainted King and put him in prison. At the same time, capture everyone in his residence. Kill anyone who disobeys without mercy."
The next moment, Empress Xi Yao's cold voice suddenly sounded, containing undeniable iron blood and murderous intent.
Boom!!
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned. Then, with a boom in their heads, they felt as if they had been hit by a huge bell. Their minds went blank.
Their eyes widened and their expressions changed dramatically. They could not believe that the Empress had said this herself.
After all, the Untainted King was her most capable subordinate. Like a sharp blade, he was invincible and had swept away many obstacles for her.
Empress Xi Yao's achievements today could be attributed to the Untainted King.
But now, she was going to punish the Untainted King for such a small matter?
And the whole residence was in trouble?
This kind of punishment has only happened a few times in the past 6,000 years. It was also the crime of colluding with the five emperors.
Could it be that the Untainted King was using this as an opportunity to teach him a lesson?
"Your Majesty, I don't know …"
The Heaven Conqueror's expression changed drastically. He almost doubted if he had heard it wrong.
If he were to be punished because of such a small matter, it would be unreasonable no matter what.
"See for yourself."
Empress Xi Yao seemed to have regained her composure. Hearing this, she threw a crystal clear photographic stone before the Untainted King.
Confused, the Untainted King picked it up and inserted his spiritual energy.
However, the moment he saw the image, he realized what was going on. With a whoosh, all the blood drained from his face.
Clang!
His fingers trembled. He couldn't hold the photographic stone steady and it fell to the ground.
"How is this possible …"
The Untainted King's voice shook. He couldn't believe his eyes.
With his cultivation level, he naturally knew whether the image in the stone was real or not.
This scene caused everyone in the hall to go silent like cicadas in winter.
Just now, someone saw the image. Although it was just a flash, they saw it clearly and knew what it meant.
After the shock, they looked at the Untainted King with sympathy, emotion, and other complicated expressions.
"How did things become like this …" The Grand Tutor sighed.
Who would have thought that the third son of the Untainted King, Jun Fan, had such an identity?
This was simply frightening to think about.
"What else do you have to say?"
Empress Xi Yao's expression was cold. "You have disappointed me."
The Untainted King looked dispirited and incredulous. In the end, he could only laugh bitterly and fall to the ground. Whether this had anything to do with him or not, the foundation he had built for thousands of years was destroyed.
"Your humble servant is also completely unaware of this matter …"
Even now, the Untainted King's mind was still a little dazed and in disbelief.
The true identity of his third son was Jun Bufan, the son of the Xuanyang Emperor from 6,000 years ago. This news was too shocking.
In the hall, the ministers had different expressions. They never expected this to be involved.
"No wonder Jun Ruoxi disappeared in the forbidden zone … It seems that Jun Bufan informed her …"
Everyone was shocked. They felt that Jun Fan had hidden too deeply. He had hidden this for so many years.
It seemed that the assassination attempt on Empress Xi Yao was also orchestrated by Jun Fan.
Everyone felt a chill run down their backs. If Empress Xi Yao hadn't suddenly produced evidence today, they would probably still be in the dark.
Then, the Untainted King was taken away. As a quasi-supreme existence, he could definitely break free if he wanted to.
But if he did, he would really be in cahoots with Jun Bufan. So he didn't dare to act rashly and obediently let himself be locked up.
"What happened today is not allowed to spread. Those who disobey will be punished according to the crime of collusion."
Empress Xi Yao coldly glanced at everyone, then got up and left the hall.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
The Grand Tutor and others all smiled bitterly and looked at each other. They didn't dare to disobey Her Majesty's order. If this news spread, it would cause a huge commotion.
But everyone in the Untainted King's residence being locked up was no small matter. Those who were observant would definitely figure it out.
At the same time, in another side hall, Gu Changge was leisurely drinking tea, looking quite leisurely.
In front of him stood a blurred figure. In appearance, it looked no different from Bai Lian 'er. It was a strand of her law doppelganger. She was answering Gu Changge.
"This is what happened. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything." Bai Lian 'er's law doppelganger said lightly.
She was also the one who brought back the Image Recording Stone.
"Miss Lian 'er is joking. Why wouldn't I believe you?" Gu Changge heard this and smiled.
"Life Gate, Death Gate, Key … It seems that the secret of the Demon Realm will soon surface."
"If Jun Bufan is smart, he should realize that you betrayed him. But I've already told Xi Yao to forbid the officials from spreading this matter. It should be able to be kept a secret for a while. Jun Bufan won't suspect you for the time being." Gu Changge said.
"Then should I thank you for thinking of me?" Bai Lian 'er sneered.
Gu Changge shook his head slightly. "Miss Lian 'er, there's no need to be so polite between us."
Bai Lian 'er rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to say anything more.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the hall. Empress Xi Yao walked in. She recognized Bai Lian 'er at a glance. After all, they used to be acquaintances.
In her eyes, Bai Lian 'er was just Jun Bufan's follower, weak, pitiful, and meddlesome.
It was hard to associate her with the cold and enchanting woman now.
"I've already done as you asked. I've locked up the King of Chaos and Disorder in the Heavenly Prison. The same goes for his family."
She cut the long story short. After glancing at Bai Lian 'er, she looked away.
Bai Lian 'er, on the other hand, didn't even bother to look at her. She treated her as a complete stranger.
If it weren't for Gu Changge, she wouldn't even appear in the palace.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Changge nodded. He didn't explain anything.
Empress Xi Yao was a little confused, but she didn't ask.
From her perspective, the King of Chaos and Disorder definitely didn't know Jun Fan's real identity. Ignorance is bliss. She couldn't blame the King of Chaos and Disorder for this.
All these years, the King of Chaos and Disorder has contributed greatly to the stability of her dynasty.
She wasn't the type to burn the bridge after crossing the river.
However, since Gu Changge asked for the King of Chaos and his family to be locked up, she naturally did as she was told.
"How did you get Bai Lian 'er to work for you?"
However, Empress Xi Yao still had some doubts in her heart. As far as she knew, Bai Lian 'er and Jun Bufan's relationship was like that of siblings.
How did Bai Lian 'er betray Jun Bufan and act as a spy for Gu Changge? How did he give her that recording stone?
"Of course it's because Miss Lian 'er is smart and rational. You don't want to help the tyrant," Gu Changge replied with a smile.
"Of course it's because this guy threatened me with my father's life …"
Bai Lian 'er chuckled and interrupted Gu Changge. She looked at Empress Xi Yao. "Otherwise, do you really think I'd help you out of kindness?"
When Empress Xi Yao heard this, she looked like she had expected this.
