Her heart moved slightly, and she pointed directly at the red area and asked, "What is here?"
"I was just about to tell you."
Lan Xiu's face was serious as she warned, "You must not go through this red area, or your life will be in danger."
Xiang Sheng cooperated with her by showing surprise, "Fear for life?"
"good."
Lan Xiu's tone slowed down. "This matter involves Wang Zun. It's not a secret in Silou, but it is somewhat taboo. Now that you know about it, don't mention it to anyone."
"Don't worry, Sister Lan, I still know my limits."
After receiving Xiang Sheng's assurance, Lan Xiu's brows relaxed slightly, she sighed softly, and then began to tell the story.
“Fifteen years ago, Wang Zun suddenly contracted a strange disease, his mind went out of control, and his aura of power became rampant.
The demon king's pressure was so astonishing that more than half of the maids and servants in the Si Tower died in an instant, even the head maid who had served the king for many years was no exception.
Wang Zun has always been kind-hearted. After waking up, he was heartbroken for a long time and damaged the foundation of his soul several times. Even after recuperation, the disease has not been fully cured. Every day around noon and midnight, Wang Zun's pressure would get out of control and spread, and the duration of the pressure would be uncertain.
The red area on this map is the area where the king's pressure radiates. For servants like us with low cultivation, if we are touched by it, we will fall into coma at the least and die at the worst.
You must remember not to run around before you have a clear understanding of the terrain, or you may risk your life."
Xiang Sheng nodded repeatedly to show that he understood, then frowned and said, "Sister Lan, you said that Wang Zun has such a strange disease, doesn't that mean no one can serve him closely?
Has Wang Zun been staying alone in this area for the past fifteen years?"
"Who said no?"
Lan Xiu pursed her lips and chuckled, "After that incident, His Highness Wenshen was fortunate enough to purchase a personal maid with her five senses blocked for His Majesty to command.
The demon race, whose five senses are closed, are naturally incapable of cultivation.
However, they are able to perfectly withstand the impact of the Demon King's pressure. Such demons are extremely rare. I heard that His Highness Wen Shen spent a whole year searching in the slave industry before finding one."
Xiang Sheng nodded in realization, then asked curiously, "Who is His Highness Wenshen?"
"He is Wang Zun's eldest son."
Lan Xiu paused and continued, "Although he is called the eldest son, His Highness Wenshen is actually just like our Highness, both of them are adopted sons and daughters of the King.
His Highness Wenshen is the first son adopted by the Prince, so he is called the Grand Prince, and some people also call him the Young Prince.
It's good for you to know about this past, and you shouldn't talk about it outside."
"clear."
Lan Xiu started talking and then talked about the series of past events when Princess Yuejiao was attacked. It was not until it was too late that she went back to the next room to rest.
Xiang Sheng extinguished the spirit stone lamp and sat in the darkness, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Lan Xiu's frankness saved her a lot of effort in finding out information.
Yue Jiao was actually a white lynx, not a tiger. The first time she saw Yue Jiao, she knew that she was the Demon King's adopted daughter, not his biological daughter.
However, he never expected that the Demon King Xuesu had adopted not just Yue Jiao but sixteen adopted sons and daughters.
But now, only Yue Jiao and Wen Shen are dead.
The Demon King Xue Su developed a strange disease, and she and her adopted son and daughter were assassinated one after another, all starting fifteen years ago.
This can't be a coincidence, there must be some connection.
The information was incomplete at the moment, and she had no way of guessing what the connection was.
However, the most urgent task now is to find out whether the King Xuesu is from the Demon King Valley. Everything else can be put aside for the time being.
"Yue Jiao was so frightened that she only trusted Lan Xiu and a maid named Qing'er. Furthermore, Qing'er would go to the alchemy room every seven days to get medicine for Yue Jiao..."
"There's a distance between the Alchemy Room and Yuejiao's Bedroom, and there are several places that are close to the red area..."
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and a complete plan gradually emerged in Xiang Sheng's mind.
The next day, Xiang Sheng followed Lan Xiu's instructions and wandered around Silou.
With her ability, she could memorize anything from a map to building regulations at a glance. She certainly wasn't out strolling around just to familiarize herself with the terrain.
She walked to the edge of a relatively remote red area, and after making sure that no one was watching, she walked a little further in and did not sense any pressure at all.
It was already noon, but Xiang Sheng was not in a hurry and continued to wait patiently.
Another stick of incense later, a powerful pressure suddenly erupted from the northeast, then spread out violently, hitting Xiang Sheng head-on, just like hitting a solid wall, and dispersed.
Xiang Sheng put his fingers together to intercept a strand of the pressure and sensed it slightly.
Late Soul Condensation Stage...
She narrowed her eyes slightly, took a step back, and left the range of pressure.
The demon king in the late stage of Soul Condensation is equivalent to the human in the late stage of Spirit Transformation. Even if she uses both forces to counteract him, she is definitely not his opponent.
However, if it was just pressure, she was standing at the core of the pressure outbreak, and at most her true energy would be suppressed, but her physical movements would not be affected.
Once this is confirmed, the plan is half successful.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng smiled slightly and turned to leave.
