"But since Miss Ling wants to talk, shouldn't she show her sincerity first?"
Her deep eyes hidden under her black coat and hat stared at Baili Feiyue like a cold snake.
"Of course." Baili Feiyue curled her lips, "Bring the person out."
It was the same secret door as before, and all the disciples of the witch cult leader were escorted out by two people.
One of these two people was dressed similarly to the leader of the witch cult, or even more exaggeratedly. He was covered in a silver-white robe with even his chin not showing.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister and the Grand Master, who were both well-informed, gasped and were shocked when they saw the man's appearance.
These two people were none other than Ye Lin who had been following Jiuer, and Zhui Feng, the secret agent that Changsun Wuji had planted in southern Xinjiang for more than a year.
The headmaster's gaze moved back and forth between Ye Lin and Zhui Feng several times, then swept to the thirty-odd disciples. When they were swept by her gaze, those disciples lowered their heads in shame and fear.
The headmaster's final gaze fell on the terrifying-looking Zhuifeng.
After all, she could tell at a glance what Zhuifeng had been through by looking at his appearance.
"Hahahaha," the headmaster laughed in an indescribable way, "Great, it's really great! I thought the place that was as strong as a solid wall of steel had already been opened by someone!"
Baili Feiyue smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Zhuifeng only found this place three days ago."
Three days ago, Zhuifeng appeared in front of Changsun Wuji again and said that he had found a secret underground palace, and it was very likely that what he was looking for was inside.
Only then did Baili Feiyue know what Zhangsun Wuji asked Zhuifeng to come to southern Xinjiang for.
There is a rumor that only a very few people know about, saying that for thousands of years, Southern Xinjiang has been refining a kind of "medicine" that can cause hallucinations on a large scale!
Zhuifeng had secretly investigated many places, even the secret medicine refining place that he had previously suspected, and he even worked as a medicine man there, but in the end it turned out not to be the place.
Until I found this place three days ago.
Due to the numerous traps and poisons along the way, Zhuifeng did not succeed in reaching the deep end to see the blood pool, and had to turn back after walking only halfway.
Baili Feiyue looked at the Prime Minister and Master Taifu, and said with a half-smile, "Three days ago, Zhuifeng discovered this place, but was unable to go deeper. He withdrew halfway and unexpectedly discovered that the Southern Xinjiang Royal Temple, which should have been solemn, was very 'lively'."
"Do Master Taifu and Prime Minister know what the excitement is?"
The Master's serious expression seemed to deepen a little, "Madam Changsun, just say whatever you want to say."
"To put it bluntly, someone was awake in the middle of the night, busy burying traps and poison in the temple, so that the temple would 'collapse without cause' at dawn on the day when the new emperor ascends the throne."
The Master's chest rose and fell rapidly. "Since Madam Changsun had received the news in advance, why didn't she inform His Majesty and prevent it from happening?"
The collapse of the ancestral temple is no small matter!
Baili Feiyue glanced at Yin Li over there and saw the little boy pursing his lips tightly.
Before, there was Yin Xuanmo, but this time was the first time that he faced the blood, rain, and cruelty of the road to becoming an emperor alone.
Jiu'er, who was sitting on the steps beside him and watching the fun with great interest, tugged at his sleeve and said innocently, "Yin Li, sit down and listen to the story."
Yin Li looked down at Jiuer, and Jiuer gave him a heartless smile.
Yin Li was slightly stunned, and finally, he replied with a low and powerful word, "Okay." He also sat on the steps next to Jiuer.
Seeing Baili Feiyue looking at him, the little boy said calmly, "Aunt Jing, you don't have to worry about me."
Baili Feiyue blinked at him, but did not continue to answer the master's question. Instead, she continued to ask the headmaster, "Headmaster, I am so honest. Now can you tell me the origin of this blood pool?"
"No!" Without waiting for the headmaster to say anything, the master teacher spoke up to stop him.
"It seems that Master knows something?" Baili Feiyue's inquiring eyes were meaningful.
"I don't know what this is, but since this is a forbidden area and is guarded by the Southern Border Witch Cult, it must be important! When we broke in, the head of the sect said that we couldn't leave alive, so how could we casually reveal the secrets of this place?!"
"Master Taifu is indeed loyal to Southern Xinjiang. I admire him very much." Baili Feiyue laughed, "Then I will continue what I left unsaid."
"Regarding the ancestral temple, why didn't we inform Li'er about this in advance?"
The prime minister at the side had a guess in his mind, "Not good. Master, I'm afraid something happened outside!"
Baili Feiyue clicked her tongue, "The Prime Minister is indeed a smart man. Something has indeed happened outside. We have been here for such a long time, and I believe the assassins in the hands of those who caused the ancestral temple to collapse for no reason have already been dispatched."
Since I said I would protect Yin Li until he ascends the throne, of course I have to do it.
Since she and Changsun Wuji left the palace and lived in the embassy, they have found out about the various forces that were secretly dissatisfied with Yin Li's accession to the throne. When Zhuifeng reported that someone was going to take action in the ancestral temple, they actually had a grasp of the situation.
Those people planned to destroy the ancestral temple first, and then wait for Yin Li and his men to rush there, and then send out the assassins who had been lurking for a long time to encircle and suppress them.
Not only would he be killed, but he would also be infamous for eternity. After all, as soon as he ascended the throne, the ancestral temples collapsed for "no reason". If such a person was killed by knowledgeable people who were dissatisfied with his ascension to the throne, no unpleasant words would be spread.
It was also a coincidence that when she learned about the enemy's deployment and was thinking about how to counterattack, Zhuifeng discovered that the entrance to the underground palace was inside the ancestral temple.
Of course we can use their tactics against them and kill two birds with one stone!
"Why didn't you notify us in advance? How could we catch all those people in one fell swoop even if we notified them in advance?"
"Besides, the ancestral temple collapsed, so the entrance to this secret passage could be revealed to the public, right?"
"!!!" The prime minister was almost gritting his teeth in his heart. Although he didn't know the secret of the underground palace, he instinctively felt that this matter must not be told to anyone!
The Regent Prince and his wife of Dajing are deliberately trying to expose their Southern Xinjiang secret that cannot be revealed to the world!
Baili Feiyue simply ignored the glances from the Prime Minister and Grand Master, stared at the Master with a smile, and said, "Release the Master's disciples." But she was talking to Zhuifeng and Yelin.
The thirty-odd disciples were freed and returned to the headmaster. They did not even dare to look at him and all knelt down to apologize.
"Miss Ling San is really bold. Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?" The headmaster laughed in a very creepy way.
"The headmaster is a smart man. A smart and capable person rarely makes unwise choices. Moreover, he is an elder and must have a thorough understanding of the world."
"Heh," the headmaster laughed sinisterly again, "Miss Ling San, there's no need to flatter me. You can say that there is the blood of the Regent in this blood pool, so I guess you are not completely ignorant."
"Even if I don't say anything, Miss Ling will figure it out herself sooner or later."
"I've only seen a few words about nurturing a medicinal fetus in a tattered ancient medical book." When it comes to the word "medicinal fetus", Baili Feiyue's eyes became cold again.
The headmaster looked towards the pool of blood.
After a long while, the sound seemed to come from underground.
"Among all the living things, there will definitely be one that is extraordinary and different. Humans are no exception."
"There is a kind of abnormality that even violates the rules and life and death. It is said that such abnormality is born with wisdom, peerless beauty, and a natural fragrance in the bones."
Upon hearing this, the expression on Jiuer's face, which was originally very excited, paused.
This description is very familiar...
The head of the Wu Cult laughed sinisterly, "Miss Ling San, it's rare to meet someone like this in a thousand years. Miss Ling San, you are lucky to meet two of you right away."
Baili Feiyue's pupils shrank slightly.
