Chapter 356 Where is my great evil?
Full moon night, on top of the royal city.
A barefoot woman in a black and red robe stood on a high terrace, looking up at the night sky in the distance, waving her hands repeatedly, as if crazy or dancing. With her movements, a silent rhythm seemed to flow between heaven and earth, simple and vigorous.
The mighty wind was like a huge wave, and the rubble on the palace in the distance began to tremble, showing how powerful the wind was. But the woman seemed to be completely unaware of it, not only did she not move with the wind, she didn't even feel the slightest bit of cold.
Blow and blow, she is not afraid of being barefoot.
After a long while, her movements slowly subsided.
The strange thing is, as her body stopped dancing, the strong wind gradually disappeared, as if the strong wind was caused by her.
"Master's Taoism has become more and more profound. Now I can only sigh in admiration and cannot comprehend Master's magical powers at all."
A young woman in a bright yellow gown then walked onto the terrace and began to praise.
"Because I didn't do anything. I was just bored waiting and did an impromptu dance." The red-robed woman said calmly.
“……” The young woman was silent.
"Does it look like a ritual?" the red-robed woman asked again.
“…”
The young woman still didn't say anything. I didn't know whether she was struggling to think of what to say or whether she chose to use silence instead of any answer.
After a pause, she slowly said, "Didn't Master say that there would be a big operation tonight..."
"That's right." The red-robed woman turned around, revealing a dignified face: "It's just that it wasn't the state religion, it wasn't me, and it wasn't you who took action."
"What is that?" the young woman asked tentatively.
"As the eldest princess of Huaxu State and the future heir to the throne, how can you kill innocent civilians?" The red-robed woman smiled and said, "As the head of the state religion, it is impossible for me to do anything about this. Otherwise... where is the dignity of the state religion?"
Considering that this is the terrace with the best view in the palace, it does not seem surprising that these two people are the head of the state religion and the eldest princess.
After hundreds of years of development, the Huaxu Kingdom is now larger than before and has more than one large city. The imperial palace is also becoming more and more magnificent.
"Those people were besieging the little princess..." The eldest princess's eyes were ambiguous, "They can't be considered innocent at all."
"Who made men have a low status in Huaxu Country and have been oppressed for thousands of years? Even if they are maliciously instigated to do something outrageous, they are still the weak. You can't attack the weak... at least you can't do it, otherwise it will damage your image?" said the head of the national religion.
"I am grateful for your instruction." The eldest princess lowered her head.
But he immediately asked, "But I still don't understand, what is Master going to do? You leaked my little sister's whereabouts to the South Wall Sect, is it just to get rid of my little sister for me? But compared to my second sister, my little sister's threat is not worth mentioning at all..."
"well……"
The head of the state religion sighed.
"Of course it's not that simple. Your second sister is much more scheming than you. I have already found some clues. The South Wall Sect that has been popular in recent years is actually funded and instigated by her behind the scenes. Even... maybe the method of letting men practice the Huaxu Sutra was also spread by her. She has gained a lot of prestige by relying on this power, and it is getting stronger and stronger. It is possible that she will surpass you in the future."
"I am doing this just to clip off her wings!"
"By the way... why not get rid of the other threatening little princess as well?"
The head of the national religion turned his eyes and looked into the distance again: "Let me ask you, where is your little sister trapped?"
"It's the Old Zhenguo Mountain." The eldest princess replied.
After saying that, she raised her eyes sharply, with a hint of shock in her pupils, "Could it be... that thing has reappeared?"
"Haha, yes..." The head of the national religion nodded.
"Five hundred years ago, a catastrophe nearly destroyed the Huaxu Kingdom. The truth has never been spread. In fact, it was the ancient beast Taowu that was suppressed at the foot of the Zhenguo Mountain and could devour people's evil thoughts! After experiencing the accumulation of endless years, it almost reborn."
"Thanks to Ying Li, the most handsome man in Huaxu country five hundred years ago, who obtained divine power and killed it, but..."
"Taowu does not reproduce. Its way of passing on its legacy is... rebirth. As long as there is evil in the world, Taowu will be reborn. Later, Huaxu moved its capital to prevent Taowu from making a comeback one day."
"As for me, after I knew about this, I started to plan this matter." There was a bit of madness in the eyes of the head of the national religion. "After Taowu accumulates the most powerful strength in the world, it will be born again, which will lead to endless killing and will be almost unstoppable. If we can wake it up and control it when its strength is not that strong, can we control its power!"
As she spoke, the eldest princess' eyes also showed excitement. She said in a trembling voice, "That's... a great evil!"
"Yes, if I could possess it..." The head of the national religion clenched his right hand into the air, "Wouldn't it be possible to call the wind and rain and do whatever I want?"
"So today, Master planned to use my little sister to lead those South Wall believers to Zhenguo Mountain because he calculated that Taowu would be born today?" asked the eldest princess.
"certainly."
The head of the national religion smiled confidently, as if he was in control of the situation.
"Thanks to the Second Princess's instigation of civil conflicts over the past few years, the evil thoughts generated in Huaxu Country are far greater than before, and Taowu's rebirth is much easier than before. I have already calculated that Taowu will be born today! By then, the South Wall Sect will be completely destroyed and Taowu will disappear. You and I are far away in this palace, who can suspect us? Eh?"
As she was speaking, a red light suddenly appeared between her eyebrows and disappeared in an instant, like some signal.
"The evil thoughts have accumulated enough, and they are about to come!" The eyes of the head of the national religion opened wide, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the distant Old Town Mountain, and said excitedly: "Look, what is that?"
The eldest princess suppressed her excitement and looked around. It seemed that there was nothing in the vast night...
"That is... money, handsome men, power and authority. It is the future of my master and I in charge of the Huaxu Kingdom!" she said with longing.
"What are you doing?" The head of the national religion blinked and said, "I haven't started to cast the spell yet. There is obviously nothing over there."
"Uh..." The eldest princess was suddenly embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "If you look carefully, there is indeed nothing."
“It’s about to begin!”
The seals of the head of the national religion's hands suddenly changed, and in an instant they turned into afterimages, with a complexity that the eldest princess had never seen in her life.
After a full moment, and seemingly changing her techniques thousands of times, she suddenly bit her tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of her tongue into the air, and pointed her finger.
call out--
A ray of rainbow light broke through the air in the direction of the Old Zhenguo Mountain.
It was like an arrow piercing the clouds, pulling thousands of troops, and rumbling thunder suddenly sounded in the distant sky!
No, not thunder.
That was the sound of the mountain crumbling! Such a long-distance spell could cause the earth to shake and a great evil to appear! Such a method was truly astonishing! After the head of the national religion had finished casting the spell, he was a little weak, his body slightly slumped, but his eyes were even brighter.
She raised her right hand again and pointed, "Look at what that is again?"
She didn't need to say anything, the eldest princess had already been staring at him without blinking, her eyes flickering.
But……
After a long while, not only did nothing appear, but even the previous thunder seemed to have disappeared.
"Uh..." The eldest princess asked tentatively: "Master, I don't know if I am seeing correctly, but... it seems... there is still nothing?"
“Eh?” The head of the national religion looked over there, frowned, and showed doubt in his eyes, “That’s not right… I could clearly feel Taowu’s response to me just now. It had already shattered the mountain and was ready to take off… Why didn’t it take off? It clearly took off…”
The eldest princess did not dare to ask more questions, but the head of the state religion scratched his head and muttered continuously.
"That's not right... Where's my Taowu..."
"Where's my big villain?"
…
"Who asked you to come?"
At one end of the quiet mountain range, Li Chu asked calmly.
"It is the great spirit of resisting the oppression of women..." someone answered subconsciously.
Li Chu glanced at him.
The man immediately lowered his head and said weakly, "It's a high-ranking official in the church."
There were countless shadowy figures standing around, but after Li Chu killed the ferocious beast that had alarmed the whole area as soon as it was born with one sword, no one dared to disobey a word he said.
Li Chu glanced over and found that the cultivation base of these people was indeed not very high, and judging from their clothes, they did not look wealthy. They could even be said to be a bit pathetic... It really seemed as if they were instigated by someone.
In his memory, the little princess came to see him secretly, so not many people should know about this. And how did the South Wall Cult get the news in advance and organize such a large number of people? There must be something fishy going on.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with these people, he heard a commotion at the back of the crowd, and a faint excited voice shouted, "The leader is here!"
"The leader is here... The leader is here!"
The restlessness gradually spread to the inner circle, and several South Wall believers who were closest to Li Chu looked up at him with animated eyes. It seemed that the arrival of the leader had given them great hope.
Li Chu listened but did not say anything. He just protected the little koi behind him and waited quietly.
He had heard of the name of the leader Zhao Shengnu before.
Soon, a loud laugh was heard in the air.
"Which hero is able to stop so many of my followers here single-handedly? I want to see..."
A nimble figure dropped from the sky.
"Welcome, Master!" All the South Wall believers present bowed down.
It is obvious that he admires this leader very much, almost to the point of fanaticism.
but.
After the leader landed, he suddenly fell silent.
Li Chu did the same.
"Um……"
"ah……"
After a brief eye contact, Li Chu slowly said: "Why...it's you."
Across from him, the face of the cult leader... was very familiar, ugly and cold.
It was clearly Zhao Liangchen who entered the secret realm with him.
"That..." Zhao Liangchen paused for a long moment before he raised his hand and said, "All of you retreat a hundred feet first and don't get in my way!"
"Master, this person's cultivation is terrifying..." Someone behind him thought that Zhao Liangchen was going to fight with Li Chu, and hurriedly advised him not to do so.
"I know!" Zhao Liangchen glared.
I almost said, no one knows better than me how terrifying his cultivation is...
The group of believers behind him immediately retreated timidly.
Li Chu didn't stop him either.
He also wanted to have a good chat with Zhao Liangchen about his current experiences.
As soon as his men left, Zhao Liangchen's tense face collapsed. "Master Xiao Li, what's going on? When I got here, I found that my identity had changed to someone else, and a group of people surrounded me and called me the leader. I was so nervous, afraid that I would be exposed."
"It's okay. As long as you don't lose your composure, you usually won't be discovered." Li Chu signaled him to stay calm.
"And I clearly received an order to get rid of the little princess, how come..." Zhao Liangchen was puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You two are Li Sanzhao and the little princess!"
"That's right." Li Chu nodded, then caught the essence of his words and asked, "You are not the leader of this sect, who did you receive the order from?"
"this……"
Zhao Liangchen looked embarrassed and looked around before he came forward and spoke.
"I can't reveal this secret to anyone, but I definitely can't hide it from you..." Zhao Liangchen whispered, "In fact, I have several other leaders in the sect, all of whom were chosen by others to do things. I'm not a leader at all, just a follower who follows orders."
"Whose orders are you taking?" Li Chu asked again.
"She is the second princess of the current Huaxu Kingdom!" said Zhao Liangchen.
"So..." Li Chu frowned, "The mastermind behind this South Wall Sect is a woman?"
"Yeah, actually my original self didn't want to do these things at all, but there was no other way. Who made me a beggar? At least doing this can keep me well fed and clothed, and I'm admired by everyone." Zhao Liangchen shook his head.
"Beggar? How was he chosen?" Li Chu was a little puzzled.
"That's why I was chosen." Zhao Liangchen said, "Look at my face, and think about the conditions. Is there anything more suitable than doing this?"
"That makes sense." Li Chu nodded.
"All the messy things that happened over the years were instructed by the Second Princess. She is the ultimate villain." Zhao Liangchen said heavily.
"My second sister?" The little koi blinked in surprise, "But in my memory, she was very kind to me, why would she..."
"They are all fake." Zhao Liangchen spread his hands.
"The Second Princess's water is much deeper than you see!"
"She secretly controls a huge force. She has been providing me with the elixir that allows men to practice the Huaxu Sutra. It is precisely because of this that I have been under her control... As soon as the whereabouts of the little princess leaving the palace were leaked, she directly ordered to take the opportunity to surround and kill you. It was very cruel..."
"This, this, this..." The little koi seemed to begin to doubt his own memories.
"Moreover, she seems to want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something big!" Zhao Liangchen said, "She ordered me to lead the team into the royal city immediately after killing the little princess!"
"Um?"
Li Chu's eyes moved.
It's not because he has a strong sense of immersion in this Huaxu country, but because...
As soon as Zhao Liangchen said this, he vaguely felt the guidance from somewhere... It was as if a voice was telling him to go to the royal city to quell the unrest caused by the second princess, prevent the division of Huaxu Kingdom, and maintain the stability and peace of the country.
It sounds a bit complicated...
Zhao Liangchen also looked surprised and said, "I seem to have sensed my mission. It asked me to help the Second Princess defeat the First Princess and support her to ascend the throne! Is Huaxu Kingdom going to change?"
Li Chu frowned when he heard this.
The last time Chen Huaji discovered it, it seemed that this projection was trying to guide the people who came down to stand in different camps and be hostile to each other.
Last time, he and Chen Huaji tossed the poor head of the state religion like a toy for a long time before they finally got what they wanted.
I didn't expect it to be like this again this time.
"Ah!" The little koi suddenly cried out, "I think I have it too!"
Zhao Liangchen then asked, "Whose? No, bah...what mission is it?"
"Hmm..." The little koi closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then opened his eyes and uttered four words solemnly: "Go home and sleep."
"Miss Yue'er, I know you girls may feel sleepy easily, but..." Zhao Liangchen scratched his head, "We are in a secret realm after all, you should try to overcome it."
"No..." Xiao Yue shook her head, "It told me to go home and sleep."
“I see…”
Li Chu touched his chin and fell into thought.
"These are really difficult tasks..."
