Chapter 76
Haotian fixed his sharp and majestic eyes on Qingxuan and said, "Leave this matter to Guizang for interrogation."
The corner of Yanzhu's mouth twitched. She didn't understand why Qingxuan handed the Linglong chess directly to the Heavenly Emperor. Fortunately, he was familiar with the Heavenly Emperor, otherwise he would definitely be punished for overstepping his authority.
As his thoughts drifted away, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind - there was a traitor in the Temple of Divine Law.
Yan Zhu calmly withdrew her gaze from Qing Xuan, only then noticing Hao Tian taking the Linglong chess piece and casually examining it. "He let him escape last time, which is indeed suspicious. Come, follow me to meet the man behind this and find out what he's trying so hard to accomplish."
——
In the exquisite chess game, there are lightning and thunder, and strong winds sweeping everything, filled with the momentum of destroying the world.
Qingxuan took out the yarrow beads and protected the three of them, walking safely to the top of the platform.
Haotian looked down at the man in white robe condescendingly, and a sense of oppression rushed towards the man's face in his gaze.
At this moment, the latter was tied up in the center of the formation by four chains, with nowhere to escape, just like Yan Fan at the beginning.
"ah--"
The white-robed man screamed and vomited blood, "Haotian..."
"Oh? You know me?"
Haotian's tone was nonchalant, but he did not withdraw his pressure on the white-robed man. Instead, he forced the other party to look up, "This face?"
Hong Le, who was standing by, replied with a smile, "There's no trace of magic."
Yan Zhu sighed in her heart, fortunately she had never offended the Emperor of Heaven in the past. Who could withstand such pressure?
"Tell me, who are you? Why do you dream of replacing the Way of Heaven, single-handedly promoting the evolution of the Spiritual Spring, and even fostering foul energy to bring chaos to the six realms?"
The man in white robe still resisted Haotian's pressure, his eyes were stubborn, and full of hatred and jealousy.
Yan Zhu was puzzled. Could it be that the man in white robe had some deep hatred with Haotian?
But as far as she knew, Haotian, the young genius, was the master of the divine world chosen by the Tianji Tower. The Tianji Tower was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. If Haotian's virtue was damaged and his hands were stained with innocent blood, the Heavenly Dao would not be so foolish as to let him be the master of the divine world.
"Boom--" A louder muffled thunder came from the sky, as if to shock people.
The corners of Yan Zhu's mouth twitched. Wasn't she just secretly complaining about the word "old and confused"? Was it really that serious?
But why is there such obvious resentment and jealousy in the eyes of those behind the scenes?
Haotian also noticed it: "Hate me? Unwilling?"
The man in white wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold: "I hate not you, but the way of heaven."
"Boom—"
But the white-robed man ignored him and continued, "High positions are held by virtue and talent. What gives you the right? A young man who has traveled extensively is appointed the Lord of the Divine Realm upon returning to the Divine Realm. How can you convince the people?!"
After the words were spoken, the tone behind the scenes became excited, and the unwillingness in his eyes turned into reality, wanting to drown Haotian, but the latter had the ability to remain unmoved in the wind and rain.
Wujiu transmitted a message: As expected of close friends, Tianjun and Qingxuan have extremely similar personalities, they are calm and composed, as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, which is simply a provocation to their opponents!
Yanzhu: ...
Who says it isn’t?
Thinking back to when she drove him away, Qingxuan had the same indifferent expression, which made her think that the man didn't care at all. It was indeed very "lethal" and provocative.
Haotian took two slow steps, maintaining his composure. He took in the white-robed man's reluctance. "It sounds like a story," he said, "so you were one of the ten people who originally entered the Tianji Tower?"
The white-robed man grinned meaningfully: "Guess."
Haotian smiled and changed the question: "Where is the porcelain bottle?"
"Guess." The man in white robe still said two simple words with a provocative look.
"I never participate in boring tricks."
Haotian put away his imposing aura, swung his sleeves, and turned around, saying as he walked, "Hongle, tell the Divine Law Temple to investigate thoroughly. If anyone escapes again, Guizang won't have to come to the Nine-Layered Divine Temple again.
Also, tell the Demon King about his capture. I'm sure he'll be very willing to talk to you."
Haotian's last tone rose, with a bit of drama.
"I obey the oracle." Hong Le bowed.
Behind the crowd, only Qingxuan noticed the sinister smile on the white-robed man's face.
——
The divine world, a lonely place.
As the two of them arrived at the gate of Lonely Land, Yan Zhu noticed the dark light in the eyes of the man beside her.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
Qingxuan said nothing, pushed the door open and walked in, and a figure appeared in front of the two of them.
Yan Zhu frowned. Why was he here?
"After several years of absence, Lonely Land has changed a lot compared to before."
Zhongli Ye came uninvited. When he heard the door open behind him, he slowly turned around. He thought that only Yan Zhu was there, but there was someone else there, someone he didn't want to see.
"Why is he here too?"
Qingxuan spoke first: "I still need to take care of the lonely land. I wonder if the Demon King has come to the wrong place? The Divine Law Palace is not here."
Zhongli Ye's eyes turned cold, and then he looked at Yan Zhu: "Explain."
The corners of Yan Zhu's mouth twitched, and for a moment she didn't know how to get rid of the troublesome Zhongli Ye.
"Business is more important. The porcelain bottle is still in the hands of the white-robed man. If the demon king finds the porcelain bottle sooner, he can release the Zhongli clan's fortune sooner."
Zhongli Ye glanced at Yanzhu with a meaningful look in his eyes, and finally turned into a streak of light and left.
Yan Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little headache, not knowing how to avoid Zhongli Ye in the future.
If he was heartless and unfaithful, she would certainly be cold-hearted, but he had his own difficulties and had to live at the expense of his clan, so he had no other choice.
Yan Zhu sighed softly: "I hope he can find out the whereabouts of the porcelain bottle, and this matter will be over."
The spiritual spring evolves, nourishes the turbid air, the Black Crow Clan is in trouble, the ancient gods fall, and the fortune-grabbing formation will eventually reveal the truth.
Unexpectedly, Qingxuan spoke up the next second: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, but we can fight back if the enemy comes, and we can block it if the water comes."
After Zhong Liye left, Yanzhi and Mimi finally dawdled out of the house, complaining as they ran, "He's so fierce! Young Master, this man is so fierce! As soon as he came in, he said this was ugly, that was ugly, and he even said the flower garden had no aesthetic taste!"
Mimi tilted her neck and meowed, obviously agreeing with Yanzhi's complaint.
Yan Zhu: “…”
Qingxuan picked up Mimi and comforted her: "I understand. I will study the formation and will not let anyone in casually in the future."
Yan Zhu: “…”
Who is the master of the lonely land?
——
The next morning, the morning light shone into the house through the window lattice. In the interweaving of light and shadow, Yanzhu, who had just opened her eyes, felt a long-lost peace.
After running around for a few days, the most difficult thing is to sleep until you wake up naturally and do nothing all day.
Yanzhu stretched and let out a comfortable sigh.
I thought that the mastermind had been caught, and once the Divine Law Hall and Zhongli Ye had found out the whereabouts of the porcelain bottle, the matter would be settled, and my life from then on would be a simple and mechanical purification of the foul air.
Unexpectedly, while eating breakfast, Qingxuan said a shocking news while arranging the dishes -
"The porcelain bottle was not found, and the person behind it escaped."
"What?!"
Yan Zhu's eyes widened. "Why did he get away again? Was it because of a traitor?"
Qing Xuan placed the steamed buns in front of the woman and shook his head when he heard this: "According to what the divine servants saw, it was Zhongli Ye who let him go."
Yan Zhu frowned slightly: "Zhongli Ye? Let him go?"
"Don't believe it?" There was a slight abnormality in Qingxuan's clear voice.
Yan Zhu realized it instantly and said, "I believe it...but we have to wait and see what the truth is."
"Then let's go."
A stick of incense later, the two appeared in the Shenlu Temple. From afar, they saw Gui Zang instructing his subordinates to do something, and he looked like Qi Zhan.
Yan Zhu touched his chin. Gui Zang had changed his usual butterfly look. Now, his dashing face, set off by a white robe in the moonlight, suddenly looked straight and elegant.
Is it because of Jingyue?
Gui Zang on the opposite side noticed the newcomers and waved to them. Qing Xuan glanced at Yan Zhu and said, "Let's go over there."
"You guys are finally here! The person behind the scenes that we finally caught turned out to be a puppet clone!"
Gui Zang was full of bitterness.
Hearing this, Yan Zhu asked, "So it wasn't someone Zhongli Ye let go?"
Gui Zang was bewildered, but after coming to his senses, he explained, "That was a rumor. After the demon king inquired about it, he got so excited that he was about to take action, but the person behind the scenes turned into a half-block of wood."
Puppet clone?
Yanzhu glanced at Qingxuan, who was calm and composed, and then she realized that this bastard was lying to her.
However, the puppet clone's magic was able to conceal his true intentions from Haotian and Qingxuan, and this person's cultivation was truly unfathomable.
Yan Zhu: "Now the person behind this is on the run. Apart from the porcelain vase, we don't know what the next plan is."
Gui Zang hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I know something about the Fortune-Seizing Formation and the porcelain bottle."
"?" Yan Zhu didn't think much about it and asked quickly, "Tell me about it."
Only Qingxuan, who was standing beside him, glanced at Guizang vaguely, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
Gui Zang: "When the fortune of the Fortune Seizing Formation accumulates to a certain level, it can change your fortune against all odds and it can also seize another body."
"Possession?" Yan Zhu was greatly shocked. If it was possession, who would be the final target behind the scenes?
Yan Zhu subconsciously looked at Qing Xuan, whose eyes darkened as he looked in a certain direction, "The Lord of Heaven is in danger."
Gui Zang: "Don't worry, when the white-robed man's clone was exposed, I had already released Jiuli and asked him to guard the Nine-Layered Temple."
The three of them quickly headed to the Nine-Layered Temple.
High in the sky.
"But if there is no oracle, you will release Jiuli and the Heavenly Emperor will inevitably blame you." Yan Zhu had some hidden worries.
Gui Zang shook his head: "It's okay. If there are too many lice, you won't feel itchy. The white-robed man has been unable to catch them. The most important thing now is the safety of the emperor."
Yan Zhu: “…”
Qingxuan glanced at Guizang and asked, "Jingyue, do you remember everything?"
Gui Zang was stunned, a vague thought flashing across his eyes. After a moment, he said, "Her divine nature dissipated with her reincarnation, but the memories deep within her sea of consciousness will be unlocked at a certain moment. Now she has recalled all the memories of the divine realm. Thank you very much for this time, otherwise we would have missed out."
Qing Xuan nodded and said, "Congratulations, Divine Master, on getting what you wished for. I wonder when you learned that Divine Master Wen Sheng had fallen, rather than wandering around?"
Yanzhu glanced at Qingxuan suspiciously, not understanding why the man mentioned Jingyue, but she caught Guizang's guilt when he talked about this matter, as well as a hint of guilt that he had no time to hide.
Gui Zang looked bewildered: "I just found out."
