"That's right. Back then, the city lord was Bei Ming Ye Chen. But now, more than twenty years have passed, and few people mention this matter anymore. Moreover, Bei Ming Ye Chen was very kind to the city's residents back then! They turned a blind eye to that incident and rarely discussed it. Although Bei Ming Yao Wei only took a few hours to seize the position of city lord, he had been meticulously planning for ten years. It was only because Bei Ming Hao Tian was taken away by Venerable Yun Xiao that the Netherworld Continent exists today."
In fact, Baili Jun'ao knew most of these things by overhearing them from Wuguzi. As for why Wuguzi knew so much about the Northern Underworld Continent, he had always been very curious.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect this to be true. After what happened with Bei Ming Yi Feng, war between the Bei Ming Continent and the You Ming Continent is imminent. What I'm worried about is that the Grand Preceptor Wu will also get involved in this matter. After all, the Grand Preceptor Wu is too familiar with what happened back then, and the various rumors about Miss Nangong also came from his mouth. Bai Li Yue Chan's purpose in going out this time is not simple. Moreover, she has recently been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Shennong Scripture. I heard that the Shennong Scripture records the story of Ling Mo and Zi Shu, and the Shennong Scripture happens to be in the Liuli Palace in the South China Sea. Analyzing things like this, it seems that what the Grand Preceptor Wu wants to do is related to Miss Nangong."
"Oh! When did this happen?"
Baili Jun'ao frowned deeply. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the cause of everything was related to her...!
Baili Jun'ao gave a self-deprecating laugh. With the Demon Lord by her side, what did he have to worry about? That was what he thought in his mind, but his heart felt empty and lost.
"Your Highness, it was something that happened in the last few days. It has been settled before I reported back to Your Highness."
"Keep investigating. Wu Guoshi has been very interested in outside affairs lately. He probably has other schemes. We should be more vigilant."
"Yes, Your Highness, Yiming understands."
"Yiming, let's keep going!"
Baili Jun'ao looked displeased and walked straight ahead.
Hong Yiming looked puzzled. Why was he suddenly in a bad mood? Why...? Hong Yiming couldn't figure out what Baili Jun'ao was thinking and was full of doubt.
Compared to those with their own agendas, Nangong Ziyan and her group were quite relaxed. They walked and stopped along the way, not worrying about the time of the Fengyun Competition at all.
Even during the daytime in early spring, the spring breeze still carries a slight chill.
Nangong Ziyan sat under the big tree, her arms wrapped around her knees, silent.
"Yan'er, what are you thinking about? You seem downcast."
Bei Ming Haotian sat down next to Nangong Ziyan; he couldn't bear to see her looking so sullen.
Nangong Ziyan raised her eyes and smiled at Beiming Haotian.
"Haotian, Yan'er is thinking about Wuguzi."
"Wuguzi?" Bei Minghaotian frowned, somewhat displeased. "Yan'er, what does he have in mind?"
"Haotian, don't you think everything seems like it was deliberately arranged or something that could have been predicted?" Nangong Ziyan had a bad feeling, especially about the person named Wuguzi.
“Yan’er, my parents were killed by Bei Ming Yaowei back then. I didn’t have time to find out the specifics. By the time my master and I arrived, my parents were already…”
Bei Ming Haotian trembled, his body contorted with rage at the thought of what had happened back then, arousing him to the point of wanting to kill.
"Haotian..." Nangong Ziyan grasped his hand. He had already told her what happened back then.
The day she was born was the same day his parents were killed. Their brief encounter left her with an unforgettable memory of his painful and lonely eyes.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at her gratefully; with her by his side, he felt much better. After calming himself down, he continued, "Yan'er, I've always suspected that what happened back then was related to the Qihe Dynasty. Most of the people who know about this are members of the Qihe Dynasty's royal family. With Bei Ming Yaowei's strength alone, he simply couldn't touch my father."
"Haotian, if it really is related to the Qihe Dynasty, do you think it could be Wuguzi? If it is him, he should also know about the existence of the demonic spirit within you. But why has he never looked for you all these years, and now he has started searching for the whereabouts of the Shennong Scripture?"
What frightened Nangong Ziyan the most was not anything else, but the fact that Wuguzi had lived for hundreds of years. Such a person had seen through all aspects of the world and could foresee events many years in the future without making any moves. By the time he became restless, your every move would already be under his control. The feeling of being at someone's mercy was truly terrifying.
"Yan'er, as long as you're happy, I'll take care of these things."
Bei Ming Haotian affectionately pinched her rosy cheek.
Nangong Ziyan smiled gently. It's good to have a powerful man as your support.
“Look, their relationship has improved a lot along the way. I told you! This path will surely lead to success.”
Tian Haoze and Hua Rujin sat under another big tree, watching them with amusement.
Hua Rujin looked at them with envy, thinking to herself that she would be content if she could find a man who only doted on her someday.
"By the way, Young Master Tian, are you really going to Lingxian Island?"
"I said, Miss Flower, you've asked this question many times, and I've answered it many times. We're going to the Wind and Cloud Tournament on Lingxian Island."
Tian Haoze answered rudely, but then suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Hey, Miss Hua, why do you look so unhappy whenever Lingxian Island is mentioned? What's wrong? Did the people from Lingxian Island offend you?"
