Rong Xian'er didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, are you not afraid that I will tell your secret to Prince Chen?"
"Do you think he will believe it?" The emperor was caught off guard by her entering his dream and was unable to think properly. Now he was frightened by her words.
But he reconfirmed it in the past two days. He did not leave any clues, and the leader of the Corpse Refining Sect had been killed by Gu Xueting long ago. Would he believe Rong Xianer's words?
Rong Xian'er smiled. "Your Majesty, do you think I will not leave any evidence? As long as I present the evidence to Gu Xueting, your image as a good brother will immediately collapse. Gu Xueting will definitely turn against you and kill you. Then he will choose one of your sons to take the throne. I believe your death will not cause much turmoil, and no one will avenge you."
The emperor froze. If she really had evidence and Gu Xueting saw it, then what she said might very well come true! He lowered his head, as if thinking about what evidence she had.
Rong Xian'er was not in a hurry and waited leisurely for him to surrender.
At this moment, a voice sounded out of nowhere: "Rong Xian'er, are you all right?"
Rong Xian'er's expression changed: "Chu Yunkong?!"
She looked at the emperor suddenly, and then she realized that he was just stalling for time so that Chu Yunkong, who was guarding outside, could break her dream technique and keep her here!
She sneered: "It seems that His Majesty has made his choice. Then I will wait and see how His Majesty is killed by Gu Xueting."
Before he finished speaking, the man had already turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
In the courtyard, Rong Xian'er suddenly opened her eyes and said to Zhao Fulan who was standing by, "Hurry up, we are being watched."
She took out the Earth-Moving Talisman and slapped it on her body. Her figure had just sunk halfway into the ground when a cluster of fireworks suddenly shot up outside the yard, standing out particularly in the night sky.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunkong arrived above the courtyard. He threw out a net in his hand, which instantly covered an area of more than ten miles in radius. Rong Xianer and Zhao Fulan, who were moving hurriedly underground, were immediately caught out.
Chu Yunkong looked at the two people who were caught in the net and smiled slightly, revealing some cunning meaning, "Rong Xian'er, we are old friends meeting, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you go back with me to have a cup of tea and reminisce about the past?"
By this time, Rong Xian'er had already realized that she had miscalculated.
Previously in the dream, Chu Yunkong’s shout was just to blast her, in order to make her think that her dream-entering technique was about to be broken. In fact, his real purpose was to scare her away and then determine her exact hiding place!
She was careless before and shouldn't have acted immediately. As soon as she moved, she attracted attention, allowing Chu Yunkong to determine her position.
However, she still didn't understand how he was able to determine his location so quickly.
Now that she had fallen into the trap, Rong Xian'er was too lazy to play along with Chu Yun and snorted coldly.
"Chu Yunkong, stop pretending in front of me. We all know each other's background. Just because you are the emperor's imperial teacher, do you really think of yourself as his dog and let him drive you around? We are from the same world. You know the purpose of our coming here. I advise you to let me go. Otherwise, when I return, I will settle accounts with you."
Chu Yunkong listened with a smile, without interrupting her. After she finished speaking, he asked, "Do you know how I caught you?"
Rong Xianer frowned.
"These past few days, people have been patrolling the streets and alleys of the imperial capital all night long. They all hold spirit-sensing talismans in their hands. I don't need to tell you the function of the spirit-sensing talismans, right? The moment you used the earth-moving talisman, the patrolmen determined your location through the spirit-sensing talisman. And I was able to come so quickly, thanks to the teleportation talisman."
Rong Xianer's face gradually darkened.
Although the Spirit-Sensing Talisman is only a second-level talisman, if countless patrolmen in the imperial capital are to hold one, the quantity required would... be at least several thousand. It is by no means an easy task to produce so many Spirit-Sensing Talismans at once.
The spiritual energy in this lower world is thin, and the spiritual energy in the body is used up as it is used up. Who would be so stupid as to waste spiritual energy to draw so many spiritual talismans? These talismans can only sense the spiritual energy, and they are of no great use.
Let's talk about the directional short-range teleportation talisman that Chu Yunkong used just now. This is a real high-level talisman! It is a rare item even in the upper realm. Even a high-level talisman master would have to use up most of his spiritual power to draw one. After all, the teleportation talisman cannot be successfully drawn in one or two times.
Chu Yunkong himself could never produce these talismans. Who provided him with these things to capture her?
"And this soul-binding net," Chu Yunkong lifted up the net that bound the master and his apprentice. Looking at the two people who had grown as big as fish in the net, his smile grew wider. "But it's a magic weapon, specially used to catch 'fish'. As long as you are within its coverage, it doesn't matter if you are in the water or in the soil, it will pull you out!"
magic weapon!
Rong Xianer's face twisted for a moment.
For her from the upper realm, magic weapons were not a rare commodity. However, she was a fragment of soul that had come down to the lower realm and possessed the body of a person from this realm. She could not bring anything with her, let alone magic weapons. She still didn't even have a spiritual tool!
Chu Yunkong came here only a few years earlier than her, but he even has a magic weapon.
Rong Xian'er couldn't help but suspect that Chu Yunkong had plundered the entire lower world during the first few years he came down.
Chu Yunkong seemed to know what she was thinking and shook his head: "This soul-binding net is not mine, but was lent to me by a fellow Taoist for the purpose of catching you. Rong Xian'er, you should know that in every world there are people favored by heaven and earth. Such people are called the darlings of heaven and the people with great luck. And I also know some techniques of observing qi. The luck of that fellow is so great that it is hard to find even in the upper world."
He looked at Rong Xian'er with some pity, "To be an enemy of a person with great luck is doomed to a miserable end. That young man wants to catch you, you can't escape."
Rong Xian'er's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Who is he?!"
Then he murmured, "Could it be Gu Xueting?"
Originally, she didn't want to be an enemy of Gu Xueting, and even let her apprentice Zhao Fulan get close to him, but Gu Xueting was not moved at all. And this time, Gu Xueting destroyed the foundation she had built for decades with just one move! How could she not hate him?
So she deliberately provoked the emperor's fear of Gu Xueting. On the surface, she wanted the emperor to let go of the Immortal Doctor Sect, but in fact she wanted to use the emperor to get rid of him!
Only by getting rid of Gu Xueting, without this obstacle, would it only be a matter of time to revive the Immortal Doctor Sect.
But now, she was afraid she didn't have time.
