Chapter 48 So I can't represent General Luofu's position
Layers of dark clouds pressed heavily on the sky, yet they moved only lightly. The golden sunlight penetrated the clouds, dispelling the rain and bringing a hint of sacredness to the place.
However, unattended red plants have sprouted under the broken pillars at the four corners. They are growing wildly, giving the place an endless sense of desolation.
"Even if it's an abandoned Dragon Prayer Altar, it's still Chi Ming's territory after all." Bai Chuan reminded him, with a hint of resistance in his words, as if he couldn't wait to get as far away from Chi Ming as possible.
However, "Jing Yuan" took a few steps forward and looked at the broken pillar in front of him on the left, or more precisely, at the piece of dead wood with a dragon shape.
There was nothing special about that piece of dead wood. If I had to say something, it was probably the yellow lines on it, which made it look like a silent guardian gazing into the distance.
But Baichuan, as a Vajra Master, knew clearly that this was just a decoration. Even if it looked different, it could not change its essence.
"You are still alive now, Miss Baichuan." "Jingyuan" said this suddenly, making Baichuan instantly alert.
At the same time, "Yan Qing" also made the starting moves before attacking.
"Don't be so nervous. I don't want to destroy our cooperation. I'm just stating a fact."
The light voice made Baichuan's alertness soar to the peak, but because of his concern for "Yan Qing", he had to respond: "I don't understand what you mean."
"What I mean is that those people who just parted with us were either killed or captured, and eventually fell into the hands of the Cloud Cavalry Army, while you are still standing here in good health."
"Jingyuan" turned around and looked at Baichuan. At this moment, he turned his back to the light in the sky, and even his smile was tinged with some unknown meaning. "Now, we can discuss the follow-up cooperation matters."
...This is clearly a threat! Perhaps those remnants just now only thought that they had escaped the pursuit by luck, but Baichuan was almost certain that "Jingyuan" deliberately left only him behind.
No matter what mission he was assigned to the Secret Sect of the King of Medicine, he would be of no value as long as the Secret Sect of the King of Medicine was destroyed.
For the Dragon Masters, they didn't care how the situation came about where they were the only ones who managed to escape. What they care about is: as long as they continue to live, they are a moving risk...
Only by dying and being reborn as an egg without any memories can Master Long feel completely at ease.
Therefore, "Jingyuan" has completely cut off my retreat, leaving me with no choice but to "cooperate" with him. Baichuan thought gloomily, and then sneered at himself.
To put it bluntly, "Jing Yuan" turned himself from Master Long's chess piece into his chess piece.
Perhaps because he felt that it would be difficult to reach a cooperation with Baichuan, Jingyuan simply exposed her lie and said, "You do want to survive, but you don't have a close relationship with anyone who needs to be taken away from the Chiming tribe."
Baichuan paused for a moment after his thoughts were interrupted, and said, "I am just a partner with that person."
Jing Yuan chuckled noncommittally, "You can understand that I have a unique source of information. Of course, if you want to deny it, I won't mention it again."
He was obviously certain of this clue and didn't even bother to explain it in detail, let alone leave any room for further investigation.
But then, he exposed another layer of her misleading, "You said you wanted to take someone away from the Chiming Clan, making people subconsciously think that you wanted to take that person away, but in fact, you have never thought about leaving the Chiming Clan or leaving the Scaled Abyss Realm."
"......" Baichuan did not deny it anymore. When "Jingyuan" was able to tell his real name, Baichuan prepared for the worst.
She even wondered if she was treated as an unnecessary tool by Master Long and given to General Shen Ce.
She had dispelled this thought from her mind the moment it first arose, but now she had to re-examine this possibility.
"Have you reached a cooperation with Master Long?"
Jing Yuan tilted his head, as if he couldn't understand why such a question was asked.
But the one who reacted more violently was "Yanqing". He immediately looked towards "Jingyuan", not disguising his surprise and inquiry on his face.
Unfortunately, Yan Qing’s reaction could not serve as evidence that Jing Yuan had never cooperated with Master Long—he didn’t even know that Jing Yuan had experienced death!
Baichuan analyzed in his mind. Since "Yanqing" doesn't know about this cooperation, "Jingyuan" will never admit it whether it exists or not.
But what she didn't expect was that Jing Yuan didn't answer this question, but instead asked, "Do you want to be a dragon master?"
In the past, Dragon Master was the only one who could compete with Dragon Lord. After Danfeng, Luofu Chiming almost became the one who had the final say over Long Zun.
But now, all power is controlled by Dragon Master, and the young Dragon Lord cannot even participate in the internal affairs of the Vajra Master.
In this case, it would be a lie to say that I didn't aspire to become a dragon master, but...
"Master Dragon is a group. Even if you place me in it, I will not have any say." Baichuan said very calmly.
She didn't say anything about General Luofu's intervention in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, not only because she had no choice, but also because the so-called rules were just empty words after all.
Luofu still prohibits people from participating in the Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine, but there are still many people in the Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine.
Although it is estimated that it has completely returned to zero now, this is the truth after all.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you have this idea." "Jingyuan" smiled and nodded at her, which looked like a satisfied smile from an unscrupulous boss to his hard-working subordinates.
And beneath this smile, no one knows how many deep pits are buried within it.
But what can I do if I am unwilling? Baichuan knew clearly in his heart that when he listened to Jingyuan and let the others go their separate ways, his end was already sealed.
She has lost the right to choose.
The dark blue water surged, hiding all the strange things in the deep sea.
"Ancient trees grow everywhere, dragons hide and pearls are hidden. If you ignore some troubles, the scenery here is very beautiful." "Jingyuan" stood in front of the dragon statue in Xianlong Dayu Hall and looked into the distance.
However, Yan Qing was in no mood to appreciate it. He only looked at Jing Yuan with worry, muttering, "The seaside is always cold and humid. Even if we want to wait for Bai Chuan to come back, we don't have to wait in Lin Yuan Realm."
But he really couldn't persuade "Jing Yuan", so he simply hugged him, trying to block the wind and give him some warmth. "By the way, she said that you cooperated with Master Long, is it true or not?"
Jing Yuan's heartbeat did not rise or fall noticeably, and he only asked, "Will you support my choice?"
"Of course we will. We all will." Yan Qing answered without hesitation, and added, "As long as you don't hurt yourself."
"Then you just watch what happens next." "Jingyuan"'s posture was still upright, but his knuckles curled up evasively.
A few minutes later, he patted "Yanqing" on the shoulder, indicating that he could let go now.
Almost at the moment when "Yan Qing" let go, a small whirlpool appeared in the ancient sea ahead.
Two guards dressed as Chiming escorted Baichuan, and followed an elder who was obviously of some status to the shore.
"General Jingyuan wants to use the Chiming people to interfere in the internal affairs of the Chiming clan. I'm afraid this is against the rules, right?" The leading elder said arrogantly.
He sneered and glanced at Baichuan in a suggestive manner, "The general even wanted her to forge evidence of my collusion with the Medicine King Secret. I wonder if I can understand this as the general's frame-up of the Chiming clan?"
Jing Yuan sighed with regret, "So it seems that Elder Feng Huan has completely cleared the evidence?"
"False evidence shouldn't exist." Feng Huan, who had already cleared up all the content, had no guilt. "The general should give us Chi Ming an explanation on this matter."
However, Jing Yuan still did not respond to this, but just smiled and said, "It's good that it's cleaned up. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I will find some content that can refute me."
Feng Huan frowned at the tone of relief, but after all he had been at the center of the power struggle for nearly a thousand years, and he quickly understood what "Jing Yuan" meant.
"General, do you want to fabricate some charges against me and then produce so-called evidence to incriminate me?" Feng Huan asked in disbelief.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Jing Yuan asked casually, as if it was just a matter of writing a few words.
"Excuse me, General, if you have any illness, we in the Chiming tribe don't mind giving you a detailed diagnosis and treatment." Feng Huan said mockingly, and then said proudly, "All correspondence within the Chiming tribe must be stamped with the seal of the corresponding elder. In addition, whether it is the beginning of the title or the end of the pen, they are different because of their different uses."
"So, General, you don't think it's easy to frame a Chiming elder, do you?"
"So it's so troublesome." Jing Yuan sighed, then laughed, "But what you think is complicated is only for foreigners, and I have an internal supporter."
"You mean her?" Feng Huan took his eyes off Baichuan and sneered, "The criminal Baichuan stole the official seal, colluded with foreign tribes, and framed the elders. She has no choice but to be executed and then shed her eggs and be reborn."
Baichuan lowered his head and said nothing, but made a silent gesture with his hands.
The next moment, the sharp blade pierced into Master Long's heart without hesitation.
The guard who had not expected Jingyuan to behave like this was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to fight back, but he did not expect Baichuan to take this opportunity to break away from control.
To be honest, when "Yan Qing" saw "Jing Yuan" suddenly take action, his heart also tightened, but he felt relieved the next second.
Compared to the possibility of causing Jing Yuan to be injured, seriously injuring a dragon master is nothing.
Thinking of this, "Yan Qing" couldn't help but reveal a relieved and helpless smile.
"Jingyuan" was still too restrained, and even asked himself whether he would support him before this.
Not to mention stabbing Master Long with a knife, even if it was strung together like a candied haws stick, "Yan Qing" would also firmly support it.
However, Jing Yuan wanted to do more than just that.
"I know that you Chiming people are strong. No matter what kind of injuries you suffer, as long as you can return to the ancient sea, you can be reborn." Jing Yuan increased the strength of his hand, allowing the uninterrupted blood to flow into his palm along Shi Huo Meng's body. "But if you continue like this, you will die."
His smile widened a little, completely deviating from his usual gentle smile and appearing a little crazy.
"Now, you have three options left."
"One, do not return to the Ancient Sea, and become a reason for the Chiming Clan to criticize me after my death; two, return to the Ancient Sea, perform a metamorphosis that retains my memory, and leave me with permanent disabilities; three, return to the Ancient Sea, experience a complete metamorphosis, and from now on, the past will have nothing to do with you."
Feng Huan then realized that what Jing Yuan wanted to do was even more cruel. He even wanted to kill himself first and then fabricate charges and forge evidence!
“Of course, before you make a choice, I can give you a kind tip: I have a demonic body.” "Jing Yuan" said solemnly, not looking like he had lost his mind at all.
But then he laughed again, and his originally gentle voice sounded like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue: "Do you know what this means?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'll tell you." The smile disappeared in an instant, turning into endless murderous intent. Jing Yuan lowered his voice and his demeanor returned to normal. "Even if I kill all of you, it's just a loss of control after falling into the devil's Yin body. This doesn't represent the position of any Luofu general."
"Are you crazy? You will be executed for this!" Feng Huan finally felt a little panic. His pupils trembled, but he pretended to be calm and steady.
But in the end, Feng Huan came to the conclusion under the mocking gaze of "Jing Yuan": what he said was true, he could really do such a thing!
There are things that Jing Yuan, the General of Shen Ce, cannot do, but this "Jing Yuan" will never have any scruples!
"What are you still hesitating about? I'm playing with you openly now, which is already honest enough." "Jing Yuan" drew out his formation knife out of boredom, and looked up and down at Feng Huan who was retreating, as if he was choosing a suitable position to poke back. "It doesn't matter. I know you all have lofty ideals. Since you didn't say anything, you naturally chose the first option."
He shook off the sticky liquid on his hands, and then held Shi Huomeng's body again.
Arcs of golden lightning lingered on the formation sword. Jing Yuan looked over, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent. "If that's the case, then you don't need to say anything."
