Chapter 232: Lake of Resentment
Ji Hua smiled and waved his hands, "No, I've attacked you once, and the oath between heaven and earth has been broken. I will never attack you again."
"You'd better tell the truth this time."
Ji Hua didn't mind her impulsive tone and seemed to like it. "I can swear to heaven and earth that I will never lie!"
"Okay, then let's make another oath to heaven and earth. This oath must also include an agreement. You and your people must not attack me, nor must you have any murderous intentions towards me or Nanhai."
"I can't decide the territorial disputes between the major seas alone. However, I, Ji Hua, am a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. I repay kindness with kindness. I can swear an oath to heaven and earth. The entire North Sea will treat you as a guest of honor and must not harbor even the slightest intention of killing you. Otherwise, you will be reduced to ashes. How do you say that?"
Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a big oath, then smiled and said, "Okay."
The oaths of heaven and earth are scattered in the void.
Ji Hua, "Okay, don't be angry, little girl. I can give you another gift."
"Don't come here to kill me." Sang Luo said with a forced smile.
"Haha, little girl, you are really funny. I am not kidding. What do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you."
Sang Luo thought about it seriously, "The demon you are trading with is the First Demon Envoy, right? Tell me everything you know about him."
That person wanted her life, so he would attack her once, and he would definitely attack her a second time.
Is there anything in this world more important than her life?
She wants to eradicate the problem completely.
Ji Hua threw her a photo stone and said, "This is the entire content of the last discussion between me and the two demons. You can take a look."
"Two?" Sang Luo took the image stone and handed it to Lou Xianyue without checking it immediately. "The last time I faced the First Demon Envoy, his appearance was a disguise."
Ji Hua, "When fulfilling the oath to heaven and earth, one must show one's true face, otherwise it will not count."
Lou Xianyue checked the photo stone and found nothing wrong. "Luo'er, it's real. There are no runes or spells on it."
"Okay, this is my apology."
"Little girl, please come to Beihai more often in the future."
“…”
Ji Hua left.
Sang Luo injected a trace of power into the photo stone, and the surrounding scene changed instantly. The South Sea Palace turned into the North Sea Palace, and the characters in the image appeared before his eyes, as if he was traveling back in time.
The photo stone can truly record a spatial image and cannot be faked.
She saw the true appearance of the first demon envoy and the other demon envoy.
After a long time, the shadow disappeared.
Sang Luo said to Lou Xianyue, "I have to go back."
"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on the North Sea and tell you as soon as anything happens."
Phoenix Palace, dungeon.
Le Xia woke up from her coma. She held her head and realized that the poison in her body had been completely eliminated.
There was a sound of unlocking outside the door. She looked up and saw Sang Luo coming in. A trace of discomfort flashed across her face. "You cured my poison?"
Sang Luo nodded and smiled, "Saving my life is a big deal. Have you figured out how to repay me?"
"Thank you, thank you. I really shouldn't have treated you like that before. You're a very good female. No wonder His Majesty likes you. I was short-sighted before and judged others by my own standards. I want to apologize to you, you female. I don't expect your forgiveness..."
"You don't need to apologize or thank you. I prefer to hear something honest." Sang Luo took out a photo stone and placed it on the table. "I came here to ask you a few questions."
"...Excuse me, lady."
"What do you think of Yan Jie, the current leader of the Qingluan tribe?"
"I hate him!" Her face twisted.
"Hmm? Why?"
"Hundreds of years ago, after my father Beast mysteriously disappeared, Yan Jie took over. He and my father Beast have always been at odds. I suspect he is the real murderer of my father Beast!"
"He told everyone he was adopting me as his daughter, but he actually had a crush on me and forced me to have sex with him before I even reached adulthood..." Le Xia clutched her chest, wanting to vomit. She slowly shrank into a corner, her body trembling as tears streamed down her pale face. "I did have a child, but that child wasn't worthy of being born! I took medicine to get rid of the child, but it completely destroyed my ability to have children!"
"All this is caused by Yan Jie!"
"Yan Jie has hidden ambitions. He wants to take over the central region, so he wants to dethrone Fei Yuan, who hadn't yet succeeded to the throne, and make the Phoenix Clan extinct!"
"I loved Fei Yuan so much back then. I didn't want other females to get pregnant with his offspring, so I was bewildered and agreed to poison him. But I didn't know that the poison would damage his body. I just thought it would make him infertile."
Le Xia grabbed Sang Luo's hand and said, "Please help me kill Yan Jie!"
"As long as you can kill him, I will tell you a secret."
Sang Luo, "Fei Yuan will not let Yan Jie go, what is the secret?"
Fear crossed Le Xia's face. "I once saw him by chance. His body was rotting and emitting a stench of corpse-like stench. Later, I secretly investigated and discovered that his body would slowly decay every year. He would then spend a few days at the Resentful Lake, and upon his return, his body would recover."
She said, "In three days he will set out for the Lake of Resentment. You can set a trap in advance and capture him!"
Sang Luo nodded and asked a few more questions, then left with the photo stone and returned to the palace.
Fei Yuan hasn't come back yet.
She took out a few spiritual fruits from the space, ate them, felt sleepy, and slowly fell asleep.
I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when the thief kissed me hard on the face. One kiss was not enough, he kissed me several times!
Sang Luo angrily put the cover over her head, but he pulled it away again. His big hands wrapped around her waist and held her in his arms. Sang Luo could no longer pretend to be asleep. Looking at the gorgeous and handsome face that appeared before her, she muttered, "Your Majesty always likes to disturb people's sweet dreams."
"What good dream? You dreamed of me." Fei Yuan pinched her face and said, "I raised you well. Your face is a little rounder now."
"How did things go?" Sang Luo saw that he had lost some weight, and thought that he must have been very tired recently.
"The old leader of the Qingluan tribe stepped down and supported a new leader." He said briefly.
"It's His Majesty's man."
"Um."
"Where is the old patriarch?"
"He died long ago."
"Didn't he come to the palace to meet me before..." She widened her eyes.
"Each clan's ancestral hall has a life lamp for its own members. The key to the ancestral hall is in the hands of the clan leader, and no one else knows about it. The new clan leader I supported sent me a message to inform me that Yan Jie's soul lamp had been extinguished long ago."
Sang Luo gave the two photo stones and a confession to Fei Yuan.
After reading it, Fei Yuan laughed and said, "This confession has too many loopholes, it's half true and half false, and it's extremely misleading."
Sang Luo was not familiar with the major forces in the central region, but Fei Yuan knew them all and could tell there was a problem at a glance.
"Le Xia is still lying. What she said is very different from what I remembered when I searched with my mental power." The lies that Le Xia made up were so sad and pitiful that it was easy for people to let down their guard and believe them.
Sang Luo added, "The Lake of Resentment she mentioned is real. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"She deliberately released the news just to lure you over there. If you really go, you will fall into the trap." Fei Yuan pinched the tip of her nose, his voice low and pleasant.
"To lure a snake out of its hole, you need bait."
