The elder glared angrily at Meng Ya, then turned and left.
Then the other elders said nothing, stepped out of the inner hall, and with an invisible arrogance, quit.
After watching this farce, Cen Xi gave Jun Jianchou a wink, indicating that he could now talk to this imposing high priest.
Jun Jianchou understood immediately, wiped the blood from his mouth with a handkerchief, got up from the ground, and casually pulled up a chair to sit down in front of the high priest:
"Let's talk?"
What should we talk about?
"Would the High Priest be interested in discussing how to deal with the wisp of soul within the Miao King's body?"
Jun Jianchou tapped the wooden table in front of him, watching the high priest's face change like a Sichuan opera mask.
"If you hadn't pushed that man to the brink, why would he have gone to such lengths to intrude into our Miao territory! Isn't it only right that you help us solve our problems?"
Meng Ya suppressed his anger and questioned him with a dark face.
"At first, he was just a wisp of a soul, unable to cause any major trouble. If you hadn't been greedy and let him in, would things have turned out this way? I've heard that you did all this to become the Queen of Miao and didn't want to be controlled by the elders. Now that things have come to this, I wonder if the High Priest has considered the consequences?"
Jun Jianchou ignored the teenager's unwarranted anger towards him, simply smiled and stated the facts to him.
"It's already bad enough. What consequences can't I bear? Your people, hurry up and kill them, and then get out of Miao territory. You Central Plains people are truly hateful."
Meng Ya clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with murderous intent that filled the entire inner hall. But he knew that he couldn't solve the mess in Miao territory right now and had to rely on external forces.
“He is not one of us, and that wisp of soul is merely our enemy. Since the High Priest dislikes us so much, let’s get straight to the point and discuss a deal.”
"We want the Gu King and Gu Queen to remove the Gu poison. In exchange, we will join forces with you to deal with this scourge. How about it?"
Jun Jianchou didn't care about the other party's attitude. He only needed to deal with Yan Shengxiao and see if he could remove the Love Returning Gu from Cen Xi's body.
"Are you sure you can handle that monster? I heard it myself; it was Tian Ying who helped you at the crucial moment."
The high priest looked at Jun Jianchou and Cen Xi with some distrust.
"Of course, your Miss Tian Ying is somewhat capable, but that's all. The one who can truly suppress that person is right here in this room, our Princess. If you can remove the curse from her, I can use forbidden techniques to send that wisp of soul to the underworld, imprisoning him for eternity."
"I wonder if the High Priest has been able to inform the Gu King and Gu Queen of their whereabouts now?"
After giving Meng Ya an affirmative look, Jun Jianchou explained Cen Xi's usefulness in detail and once again probed for the whereabouts of the Gu King and Gu Queen.
After Jun Jianchou finished speaking, his eyes widened for a moment, and he carefully examined Cen Xi. Then, like a deflated balloon, he hung his head dejectedly and said:
"The Gu King entered Father's body more than a month ago. As for the Gu Queen, she should still be with Yin Shun. When I asked her for her, she gave me a fake Gu Queen, and now the fake Gu Queen is also in his body."
"you…!"
"High Priest!"
Cen Xi and Tian Ying stood up at the same time, gave Meng Ya a look that said, "How could you be so stupid?", and then turned their faces away without saying a word.
Jun Jianchou, however, blurted out without any hesitation:
"Are you out of your mind? You believe everything that ghost says? Are you really stupid or just pretending? Do you really think that just because you destroyed the Gu King and Gu Queen, the Miao region will be free of Gu for thousands of miles? Are you the king of the Miao region?"
"Jun Jianchou, watch your tongue!"
Cen Xi also felt that this high priest was exceptionally stupid, but at least they were on someone else's turf, so they couldn't be so venomous.
"Alright! I'll keep my mouth shut! Excuse me, High Priest, but may I ask if the Queen of Gu is still with the Holy Maiden Yin Shun?"
Jun Jianchou wiped his face speechlessly, then quickly switched to an apologetic expression as he looked at the High Priest.
The high priest was initially embarrassed and angry, but the man's expression changed too quickly, leaving him unable to vent his anger.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded.
When did he become stupid? He's the smartest person in the entire Miao region, okay? His only shortcoming is that he's never seen the outside world and doesn't know that a wisp of ghost could be so cunning.
"Then how can we get the Holy Maiden to hand over the Gu Queen?"
Jun Jianchou glanced at Cen Xi, then continued to ask the High Priest.
"She won't admit it? She'll never hand it over no matter what. She's my mother's woman. If you want to deal with her, I advise you to think twice. My mother is unfathomable. She probably guessed that I was behind all of this in Miao territory, but she didn't expose me."
The current stalemate urgently needs to be resolved, so Meng Ya had no choice but to suppress his dislike for the three people and explain the situation in detail.
"You are not the son of Empress Miao!"
Based on Cen Xi's previous experience reading novels and this person's tone, she was certain that he and Empress Miao were not biologically related.
"You guessed it and still asked? I am indeed not the son of the Miao Queen, but Yin Shun is indeed her daughter."
The high priest gave Cen Xi a disgruntled look and said in a defiant tone, "What the hell?"
"What I said just now was a statement, I didn't mean to ask you anything, I didn't expect you to drop such a bombshell on us, so it seems that the Hidden Gu is related to the Miao Empress?"
Cen Xi rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but speak with a hint of mockery. There was no way she could talk to this person normally.
"Yes! She has always kept to herself and seemed to have no desires, but in her current state, anyone can guess that she definitely has other plans. So if you want the Queen of Gu, you can only figure out her intentions first."
The high priest was really going all out today, answering whatever Cen Xi asked, appearing very cooperative.
"Then you should make the arrangements. At this appropriate time, we need to meet with Miao Hou and see what she's really up to."
Jun Jianchou interjected at the opportune moment.
"I'll go ask her. I just hope that after everything settles down, Miao territory will still be Miao territory, and won't fall apart."
Meng Ya responded indifferently.
"That's all for today. High Priest, please inform us immediately if you have any new information. The only solution right now is to remove the Gu from Cen Xi first, and then deal with the thing on the Miao King. Tian Ying, the one you taught me earlier was the Returning Gu Tree, right?"
Jun Jianchou had finished discussing the matter and didn't want to stay in the palace any longer. However, he still wanted to confirm whether Tian Ying's actions just now were as he had guessed.
"Yes! This has a certain flaw. Even if the Miao King wakes up one day, he will not be invincible. At that time, we can use the Yin-Yang Gu-Expelling Technique to stimulate him and then slowly erode his flesh. When the Yin Gu and Yang Gu enter his heart, even if he is a god, he will have to break through a layer of skin."
Tian Ying glanced at everyone in the room and explained.
