Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 174 Ji Jiang Turmoil (5)
Ji Weihang did not answer the call immediately.
Because the link from Xie Mingli in the next room disappeared.
King Misha moved again.
After a few seconds, the link reappeared, far to the southeast.
How can one move so far in such a short time? An individual's teleportation distance is limited, and this limitation can only be broken through by ascending.
It is impossible for the demons to set up a teleportation array in Feiyan Tower, after all, it is the property of the human race.
Ji Weihang rushed towards where King Misha was while choosing to connect.
Token pop-up screen.
"Xiaozhan, where are you?"
Jiang Xuan was still wearing the same black clothes that had remained unchanged for a hundred years. The pattern of a flying swallow embroidered with gold thread looked lifelike, but now there was blood spilled on it, dyeing the gold pattern red.
Located on top of a tall building, with the night sky lit up by lights behind it.
Ji Weihang turned around to show the other party the scene of the demon world, and then said: "Aunt Jiang, you participated in the battle? You were not injured?"
Even though I had thousands of thoughts in my mind, the first words I said were greetings.
"Don't worry about the blood of the demons. But you," Jiang Xuan said seriously, "The demon world is under martial law, how did you get in? I just received news that there are two people holding the Xuanniao Order in Yaohua City, and one of them even asked the building to simultaneously monitor the information of nearly 7,000 people. I thought it was you."
Aunt Jiang always spoke to her in a serious and calm manner, which was completely different from her previous conversation with King Misha. Her thoughts drifted away for a moment and then came back to her, and she replied, "It was indeed me. I lent a Xuanniao Order to a friend for work, and she is still in Yaohua City. In addition, it was me who asked the building to pay attention to the information of nearly 7,000 people. After the demon tribe invaded, I thought to capture the king first, so I left in a hurry."
Jiang Xuan frowned and said disapprovingly: "You are going alone, will you capture the king or die?"
Ji Weihang evaded the question, "I know what's going on."
Children always have their own ideas when they grow up. Knowing that she is sensible and smart, Jiang Xuan finally relaxed his brows and said, "Be careful. If you can't defeat them, ask for help from the local branch building. They haven't retreated yet."
Ji Weihang hummed and changed the subject: "Aunt Jiang, why are you looking for me...?"
Jiang Xuan said, "What is the origin of those 7,000 people? Now is wartime, unlike normal times. We don't have much energy to devote to unimportant people. You have to tell me why you are staring at them."
So that's what it was.
Ji Weihang said: "Aunt Jiang, do you know why the demons suddenly launched an attack?"
"It's related to the previous Demon Emperor." Jiang Xuan looked at her expression and said, "Why, are these 7,000 people related to the demons? Then just arrest them directly."
"They may just defect to the demon tribe, but there are people who will help us." She said, "I'm worried that those who defect to the demon tribe will do something, so I asked all the sisters and aunts to keep an eye on them. If Aunt Jiang thinks that a one-size-fits-all approach will save effort, that's fine, but it will hurt our feelings a little bit, and there are still many capable people among them."
After a pause, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't the previous Demon Emperor die a long time ago? How can he be related to the current war?"
Jiang Xuan replied: "The news I received at Youshi today is that the demons have hidden Ji Yuan's remains and are willing to sacrifice a large number of lives in exchange for her resurrection."
"I see."
At the hour of You, this should be the news that Liu Yun escaped from the Demon Realm and brought back to the Weird Realm. Liu Yun must have received the news during the blockade of Blood Killing City, otherwise, the news would have been spread out of the Demon Realm long ago, why wait until today.
I just don't know how he got such secrets while being hunted by the Demon Emperor...
The timing was just right for the release of the "Doomsday Blocks", and it was such a coincidence that the game must have been involved. She was certain.
"Aunt Jiang, you didn't even tell me about this." She was thinking over and over again, but her face didn't show any dissatisfaction. "I didn't know until it happened right in front of me."
Jiang Xuan's solemn expression cracked, and a trace of guilt emerged between his eyebrows. He half explained and half comforted: "I knew about it at Youshi, and I was busy communicating with various sects, dispatching personnel, and organizing attacks and defenses. I was so busy that I lost my mind... I'm really sorry." Sincerely admitted his mistake, "Whatever apology you want, auntie will do it."
Seeing Jiang Xuan apologizing earnestly, Ji Weihang blinked and said, "Then I'll ask you something, auntie, you must answer truthfully."
"No problem." Jiang Xuan paused, then added, "The client's privacy cannot be disclosed."
"I don't want to ask about that." Ji Weihang said, "I just want to know, fifty years ago, didn't you get the news that the demons and monsters were joining forces to deal with the Mingyan Sect?"
Jiang Xuan's expression did not change. He just groaned for two seconds before saying, "Back then, I did notice the demons' secret deployment of combat power and alliances, and I also reported their actions to the leaders of the major sects.
"But there are many possibilities for demons to unite. At that time, we targeted the Guiyu and Pingyao regions, but we didn't expect that their target was the Mingyan Sect."
Ji Weihang nodded slightly, "I see."
Jiang Xuan looked at her through the image projected by the token and said, "Are you suspecting that I knew about the demons targeting Mingyan Sect, but concealed the news and didn't tell your master's wife?
"You never doubt others without reason. Where does your suspicion come from, or who does it come from?"
It is always sad to be doubted by the younger generation you are close to, but Jiang Xuan's expression remained calm.
After pondering the other party's attitude and words over and over in his mind several times, Ji Weihang replied:
"It just suddenly occurred to me that Feiyan Tower, as the top intelligence agency, could even know the news of the demon invasion in advance, and even found me who escaped that year. Why didn't they notice the movement of the demon alliance, and why didn't they know the truth about the extermination of the family."
Jiang Xuan looked at her steadily and said, "You are suspecting that I am with Wanqi Shuang and the others."
She said, "I'm just wondering, before I told you that it was Bai Zhiyu and the others who killed the sisters, and before I said it was Wanqi Shuang who killed the wife, did you really not know?"
Jiang Xuan answered quickly: "I don't know."
She responded quickly: "I believe you."
The two fell silent for a moment.
It just so happened that King Misha moved to another direction, and Ji Weihang changed direction accordingly.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan remembered something and said hesitantly, "But... there is a prophecy about the Mingyan Sect that I have never told you."
“What prophecy?” she asked.
Jiang Xuan said: "On the last day sixty-eight years ago, a celestial being told me that she saw eight words, 'Ming Yan gave birth to a son, and natural disasters began and ended.'"
Tongtianzhe is a person who can communicate between heaven and earth, also known as "wu" or "priest", with different names in different places. Tongtianzhe is the name of Feiyan Tower.
She pondered over these eight words and said, "The last day sixty-eight years ago, the day before my wife found me by the river?"
Jiang Xuan: "Yes. I wrote to Kun Ling and Kun Ze at that time. The next day, Kun Ling told me that she found a little girl, that is you."
She said, "Aunt Jiang, how do you understand this prophecy?"
Jiang Xuan: "...The child obtained by Ming Yanzong is the beginning and end of the natural disaster."
"Natural disaster..." She smiled and said, "Who is this celestial being?"
Jiang Xuan: "I can't say."
"...I understand." When Ji Weihang was about to catch up with King Misha, he sorted out his messy thoughts and said, "I'll go first. Aunt Jiang, I'll trouble you and the other sisters and aunts to keep an eye on those people."
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth to say something, but closed it, hummed, and said, "Be careful."
After putting away the communication token, Ji Weihang fell into deep thought.
You have to think carefully about whether you should believe Aunt Jiang's words and how much you should believe them.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now and just talk about the so-called prophecy.
Since this prophecy is related to Emperor Ming Yanzong, why hasn't she been told for fifty years?
Why today, when she was showing doubt?
——Ming Yan gave birth to a child, and natural disasters began and ended.
The simplest understanding is the same as Aunt Jiang’s: the child obtained by Emperor Ming Yan was the cause of the natural disaster.
Assuming this is a true prophecy, it means that sixty-eight years ago, the day before she was born, someone saw the "natural disaster" that would happen decades later and believed that she would end it all.
Today's outcome has already been determined.
If it was a false prophecy, it was just Aunt Jiang's hint that the time had come for a "natural disaster" and that this disaster must be ended by her, the "Ming Yan orphan".
Whether it is true or false, it makes no difference.
It just means that they all really hope that she will move towards a predetermined ending.
She doesn't have much emotion.
When she knew that her master's wife and Piao Miao both wished this, she felt calm about it.
If her life was just a chapter that had already been written, she would go to the end and see what kind of ending they wanted.
King Misha was very close, she looked down at the city below and matched it with a certain demon king's city.
The largest city closest to the strange territory is Wuna City.
The city lord, the demon king Wuna, is the culprit that caused the Wuna Dead Sea in the human world.
Wuna originally meant "that" and was a common modal particle. But after the Demon King Wuna appeared five hundred years ago, this word quickly became her exclusive pronoun, and ordinary people would not easily say it out loud, so as not to recall the fear she brought to the human race.
King Wuna is a top-notch warrior among the demons. If Ji Ni dies, she will be the most likely to take the throne.
While his thoughts were flowing, Ji Weihang had already sneaked into the city palace and was quietly observing the surrounding environment.
Wuna Palace was very different from the Imperial Palace and the Secret Palace. Everywhere you looked, it was luxurious and magnificent. There were more than a thousand servants of mixed races, most of whom were tending to the flowers and plants and cleaning, while a small number of them were kneeling outside the main hall, waiting to be called.
This is the real, normal demon king, who takes pleasure in squeezing the pain and blood of others.
Ji Weihang sneaked in from the roof silently and looked down.
Sure enough, Jine is not in the secret realm of the abyss.
The person sitting in the main seat below, with red hair, purple eyes, and red patterns on her face, is not the Demon Emperor Ji Ni, but who else?
Sweeping the demons in the hall, even Ji Weihang couldn't help but lower the frequency of his breathing activities.
In addition to the Demon Emperor Ji Ni who is comparable to the God Transformation Stage, there are two Demon Kings who are comparable to the Out-of-Body Stage, as well as dozens of Demon Generals.
It would be troublesome enough if our whereabouts were exposed.
She stared at Ji Ni for a moment, then moved her gaze to the Demon King on Ji Ni's left, and her thoughts moved slightly.
The devil had a naked and muscular upper body, and wore purple gauze trousers on the lower body; his feet were casually placed on the armrests, he was half leaning on the soft chair, and his left hand, which was supporting his head, was pulling his short hair out of boredom.
The devil's eyes were the same color as his hair, a dark red that was almost black, and his gaze was cold and heartless, as if he cared nothing about anything.
The demon king has two horns on his head and a scaly body. When he yawns impatiently, several sharp fangs are exposed in his mouth, which is intimidating.
An extremely strong sense of inhumanity.
——Demon King Wu Na.
