When Xiang Sheng turned around, she saw that Xue Yao had returned at some point and was standing not far behind her, looking at her with a cold expression.
"Mr. Xue..."
Her heart tightened and she was about to explain when she suddenly saw a line of blood running across Xue Yao's neck!
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and without saying a word, she grabbed the confused Xue Jiushu into her arms and strangled her.
Xue Jiushu felt a sharp pain in her neck and immediately reacted with a look of horror on her face: "Grandpa, save me!"
Seeing Xue Jiushu being restrained, Xue Yao's face darkened slightly. Without waiting for Xiang Chang to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly showed a sinister smile and stretched out his hand to slap her hard!
Boom!!
The overwhelming force pressed down like a mountain. In just a moment, Xiang Sheng and Xue Jiushu were beaten into a meat paste.
…
"Steamed buns, freshly steamed buns! Three cents a basket."
"Tanghulu, selling Tanghulu!"
"Come on, take a look! We've just released a new batch of jade jewelry..."
Xiang Sheng staggered to a bluestone step on the street and sat down.
When the lingering pain in her body subsided a little, she flipped her palm and a colorful crystal appeared out of thin air.
Wisps of memory turned into smoke and flowed obediently into the empty sea of consciousness.
She looked at the pedestrians and vehicles flowing like water on the street, her expression solemn.
This time, the memory taken away from her was three times as much as the previous three times combined, and only a thin layer of crystal memory remained in her sea of consciousness.
It seems that even with the crystals to fill the gap, she won't be able to hold on for long.
We must fight quickly and decisively!
She slowly closed her eyes, cast aside those useless thoughts, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with tranquility.
She recalled the ferocious smile of "Xue Yao" and her eyes narrowed slightly.
That's not Xue Yao.
Or maybe, Xue Yao has lost his original nature and become a puppet of the Tianyi clan.
Otherwise, he would not have succumbed to his own threat and killed Xue Jiushu without even a moment's hesitation.
All previous speculations were wrong.
Xue Jiushu wasn't the first celestial descendant in the world, nor was Xue Yao. The murderer was someone else...
While she was thinking, suddenly a white robe floated in front of her and stopped.
Xiang Sheng looked up and saw a familiar-looking woman in white standing in front of her, looking at her in surprise and suspicion.
Xiang Sheng recollected briefly and quickly remembered that at the auction, when she used the identity of "Wen Yi" to deliver a message to Luo Qingyun, the woman in white was sitting not far away. Judging from Luo Qingyun's attitude, she was quite respectful to this woman.
She immediately stood up and spoke first: "Let's find a place to talk?"
The woman was surprised, but quickly recovered and nodded in response, "That's exactly what I meant."
A moment later, the two of them sat down in the tavern where Jiang Yi had been before.
Xiang Sheng poured a glass of turbid wine for the woman in white, "Senior, you are the real leader of this trip to Piaoxue Palace, right?"
The woman in white was not surprised when her identity was revealed. Instead, she exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of the Earth God of Dongzhou. Your eyesight is truly remarkable."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Sheng knew that the other party was a smart person, and immediately chuckled: "Junior Xiang Sheng, may I know your name, senior?"
The woman in white was slightly surprised to see Xiang Sheng being so humble, but she quickly shook her head and smiled:
"I don't dare to be a senior, we are just peers.
My name is Duan Xue, and I am the third elder of the inner hall of Piaoxue Palace. I have not yet thanked you for warning my fellow Daoist about the auction, but unfortunately... things are unpredictable."
"Senior, why worry too much?"
Xiang Sheng raised his glass and invited him: "At this moment, you and I should work together to break the impasse. We can discuss other matters later."
Duan Xue's expression straightened, "What if we can't break the deadlock?"
Xiang Sheng smiled casually, "If we can't break the deadlock, then everything will come to an end."
Duan Xue was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing too, "What a great way to end everything!"
She raised her glass and clinked it with Xiang Sheng's, then quickly began to talk about her own experiences.
"I have the sect's most precious treasure to protect me. Even after six reincarnations, I still have a lot of memories left.
In the previous six cycles, I first found out that a mother and her child died in a family in Guijiu Lane, and their husband went crazy, causing the destruction of the entire town, and the illusion was destroyed and started over again.
Later, guided by magic weapons, they traced the case to the Xue family in Guiba Lane. Xue Yao seemed to be the instigator.
However, in the last round of illusion, I told Qingtian about this, but I couldn't gain his trust and couldn't change the outcome."
At this point, murderous intent flashed in Duan Xue's eyes. "Now that I have the help of fellow Daoist Xiang and the power of the treasure, perhaps we can work together to kill Xue Yao and break this impasse."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Sheng shook his head and rejected it: "Not appropriate."
Duan Xue's expression darkened slightly as he asked in confusion, "Why is it inappropriate? Fellow Daoist Xiang, you don't know, that old pharmacist is clearly acting differently under my magic weapon!"
It’s just that I alerted him last time, making him on guard, and I disguised myself very well in front of Qingtian. This time…”
"Even if we can kill Xue Yao this time, can Qing Qiong and his mother... survive?"
When Xiang Sheng said this, Duan Xue's expression suddenly froze and her brows furrowed.
Yes.
She looked at the deaths of Qingtian's wife and children and thought they seemed to have been poisoned.
If the poison had been planted in advance, what would be the point of killing Xue Yao? Once Qingqiong and his mother died, they would still be buried with them.
Thinking of this, she sighed softly, "I didn't think it through. So, what do you think, Brother Xiang, should we do?"
Xiang Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.
Xue Yao's clue was broken, and she was at a loss for a moment.
However, it is miraculous that Duan Xue's magic weapon can actually prevent memory loss.
You know, in this illusion, even the role of "Qi Tian" has lost its function.
Thinking of this, she looked up and said, "I wonder if I could borrow the treasure that Daoist Fellow Duan mentioned?"
