Chapter 380 Shi Dehou's Death

The Venerable was able to calculate that Emperor Feng Zhao would have a son who was born from the Purple Star in the future, but this has not yet been verified.

But he had seen Yilian's mysterious skills and knew that there were many talented people in the world. Even if he didn't want to make friends with them, he couldn't make enemies with them either.

He did not refuse the cooperation of the Venerable, but when he sent people to assassinate Emperor Feng Zhao, he left some strength in reserve.

Fortunately, the Venerable did not care about his failure and cooperated with him several times afterwards. Not only was he generous, but he would also tell him something that was going to happen in the Wei Dynasty every time, such as a large-scale natural disaster or man-made disaster, so that he could avoid it in time.

What's more, there was one time when the Venerable even gave him a copied ancient book.

He became more and more convinced that the Venerable was a man of great ability, but he never told him his identity. Later, when Xiao Pei launched a palace coup, he suspected that the Venerable was Xiao Pei.

But Xiao Pei died.

During this period, the Venerable contacted him once, and the Venerable's identity became a mystery again.

A few years after the palace coup, the Venerable's people reappeared and asked him to help bind the spirits and revive the dead, which was exactly what the life-resisting formation recorded in the ancient books could do.

The other party told him that the major developments in Wei in the next few years were the conditions for cooperation. In addition, he also wanted to try whether the life-saving formation he had studied could work, so he agreed.

The formation was completed smoothly. Afterwards, he secretly sent someone to check and found out that the living dead man's birthday was Xiao Pei, and he finally met the real Venerable.

It turned out to be Princess Qingyin, Xiao Pei’s sister with the same father and mother.

Ever since he made up his mind to take over Shi Yu's body, he has regarded Feng Zhao as his own possession in his heart, so naturally he pays more attention to Feng Zhao.

Naturally, he was not unfamiliar with Qingyin. He knew that she had married a sickly young man and that their relationship was very ordinary.

When they met that time, he noticed Qingyin's unspeakable feelings for Xiao Pei, and he thought he had figured everything out.

Qingyin likes her brother, which is unacceptable to the world. Moreover, Xiao Pei admires Queen Fengzhao, so Qingyin develops the ambition to fight for the throne.

If she were the empress, she would have a say in many things and would make the impossible possible.

When Xiao Pei's coup failed, she rescued him and hid him secretly. Xiao Pei was disgusted by the brother-sister relationship and looked for an opportunity to commit suicide. The crazy Qing Yin asked him to turn Xiao Pei into a living dead.

Even if he died, he would stay by his side. He would never forget the madness and infatuation in Qingyin's eyes when they met that time.

He felt contempt and joy in his heart. A woman whose mind was filled with love was not to be feared, but was a good partner.

But he also had doubts. Since Qingyin had such ability, why did she seek cooperation with him? Qingyin told him that by chance she was taught the ability to predict the future by a master.

After that, there were several more tests, which made him believe that the Venerable was Qingyin, a woman who was crazy for love.

He was even secretly delighted that he had Qingyin's handle. When Yu succeeded in taking over Qingyin's body in the future, he could make Qingyin's secrets public. The Venerable would no longer have a foothold in Fengzhao, and it would be easy for him to take control of Fengzhao.

Even though he failed to take over another's body later, even though he no longer had a foothold in Wei, he never lost heart, because he still had Qingyin, the brainless woman, to use, and he still had a chance to turn the tide.

But now, Shi Yu and the others told him that the real respected one was Queen Feng Zhao, not Qing Yin. He thought he had everything under control, but it turned out that he was just a pawn of Queen Feng Zhao.

Now that I think about it, when the Venerable first cooperated with him and asked him to kill Emperor Feng Zhao, why did he mention Shi Yu who was not yet born?

Isn't it just because you know that he can possess the body of another, so you guide him to think about possessing Shi Yu's body?

If he were to live again, he would naturally know what would happen in the future. The Venerable's people could disguise him to help him avoid the pursuit of resentment, and the Venerable could naturally disguise himself as Qingyin.

He has always been the one who plays with others in the palm of his hand, but he never expected that he would be played around by Empress Feng Zhao.

Seeing how ruthless those two little beasts Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan were, he couldn't escape death this time, while Empress Feng Zhao was alive and well. How could he be willing to accept this?

"The Life-Resisting Formation can bind the soul and nourish the body, preventing decay. However, for the living dead to have the same speech, behavior, and consciousness as the living, they need compatible soul fire and countless living souls to nourish them.

The Venerable still has one person in his hand. That person's soul fire was stolen, and he is like a fool. As long as he can restore that person's soul fire and disperse the rest of his soul, Xiao Pei will be like a walking corpse."

Shi Dehou said this with gritted teeth.

Even if the person he had seen before was not the real Qingyin, or even if it was Queen Fengzhao as Yu and the others said, the infatuation in her eyes for Xiao Pei could not be faked.

If the Venerable dares to deceive him, he will destroy what the Venerable cherishes most.

"There must have been someone proficient in the mystical arts around the Venerable. She has moved the Phoenix Dragon Vein and the Imperial Mausoleum..."

The three black auras did not show any mercy because of Shi Dehou's confession, and Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu were still playing chess with each other.

However, Shi Yu seemed to be no match for Wei Qingyan. He held a black chess piece in his hand, supported his head with his hand, and was reluctant to make a move.

Wei Qingyan was getting impatient and urged, "Husband, if you are no match for me, then just admit defeat."

Black blood oozes out of Shi Dehou's mouth. "I've told you everything I know, Wei Qingyan. Tell them to stop."

Wei Qingyan was irritated. "Shut up! You cast a spell on my husband earlier. If I hadn't been quick-witted and found the cursed item in time, he would have been terribly harmed by you. You are so vicious, and you still dare to beg for mercy?"

She spoke loudly to the three balls of black energy, "Let him suffer a little longer, let him die slowly. When he takes his last breath, remember to tear his soul apart. Only then can I vent my husband's anger."

"Evil woman." Shi Dehou was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of black blood.

As he twisted his bound hands and feet, the threads sank into his flesh. Under the influence of his resentment, the threads sometimes turned into flaming knives, sometimes into icy blades, running along his bones and blood, torturing his soul one by one.

The physical pain and mental collapse made him gradually lose his mind, "You vicious woman, you little beast, it's your own incompetence. As long as the requiem talisman and the hair of the cursed person are burned together, the curse can be broken.

You are useless yourself, how can you blame me, you little bastard, tell them to stop..."

But who would respond to him?

After hearing this, Wei Qingyan dropped the chess piece in his hand, jumped off the couch and ran to the table outside, drew a soul-soothing talisman, and took out the black hair of several people that he had prepared in the Wei Dynasty from his arms and burned them together.

She stared anxiously at the talisman and the black hair that had turned to ashes, then quickly ran to Shi Yu's side and asked in a trembling voice, "But is it solved?"

"Puff..." Shi Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and tried his best to utter the word "jie", and fell into a coma completely.

"Shi Yu." Wei Qingyan hurriedly hugged the man, feeling extremely painful in his heart.

Since the Queen already knew how important the cursed item was to them, why would she let her get the real cursed item?

When she realized that she had fallen into the Queen's trap, she knew that the cursed object in the Lin family's ancestral land had been swapped by the Queen.

The real cursed object was in the hands of the Queen, which was equivalent to the lives of Shi Yu and others. It was transferred from Shi Dehou to Queen Feng Zhao.

Shi Yu is Shi Dehou's protection, but not Queen Feng Zhao's. Shi Dehou will not take Shi Yu's life easily at the moment, but if the Queen understands the mystery, as long as she attacks Shi Dehou, Shi Yu will die.

How could she let this happen? Shi Dehou couldn't stay either, so Shi Yu suggested to trick him while Shi Dehou hadn't realized that the curse was fake.

Fortunately, there really is another way to break the curse, but no one knows. When Shi Dehou endured the pain, Shi Yu also endured it.

She watched him pretending to be fine and playing chess with her. Later, blood flowed from the corner of his lips. He gritted his teeth and endured it, until in the end he was unable to even lift his hands.

Wei Qingyan looked at the three black clouds and said in a cold voice, "Tear his soul apart in two hours, and I will bring you into the cycle of reincarnation."

After Shi Dehou realized he had been tricked, he started to curse loudly, but after receiving Wei Qingyan's instructions, the three groups of resentment became even more fierce. In the end, Shi Dehou could no longer utter a single decent curse...
