Chapter 89: Five Tomb Robbers
The young man crouched on the roof, showing his two small fangs, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, we can talk it over."
Everyone in the Evil Suppression Division stood there in a daze.
This man had been imprisoned in the Evil Suppression Division for over a month and had never displayed any magic. Zhu Dongfeng simply thought he was a mortal with no cultivation skills.
But judging by the situation, this person is actually related to demons...
Zhu Dongfeng had witnessed that battle in the clouds, and now looking at this young man who was pretending to be a pig but actually wanted to eat the tiger, he suddenly felt a sense of horror and felt dizzy.
Ji Lingche looked up at him and chuckled, "If we have something to say, we can talk it out. Of course, we have to talk it out nicely."
"Come down, if you have anything to say, we can talk slowly."
The young man put the black cylinder in his hand on his waist, still crouching on the roof, and said with a fist: "My fellow immortals, I don't mean to hurt you. Please don't misunderstand me."
"I'm in a difficult situation right now. There are too many people trying to arrest me. I can only hold back for now. If the talks really fall apart, I'll leave myself a way out, right?"
"So, please bear with me."
The young man was not very old. He was wearing a coarse linen shirt with several patches on it, and seemed a little down and out. But his eyes were bright and he looked very smart, with a bit of a ruffian and nondescript look.
He quickly scanned the crowd, finally landing on Qu Wuji. His eyes moved and he sighed, "I've wanted to come to your Immortal Alliance for a long time, but I didn't have the chance."
"A madman locked me up in the imperial mausoleum in Shangjing and asked me to help him make some disgusting embryos. He also asked me to grind medicine to feed those disgusting insects—"
He raised his hand, pointed at Zhu Dongfeng, and said, "I finally managed to escape from that lunatic, but before I even left Shangjing, I was captured by this deaf man."
"This guy brought me here without explanation and kept me locked up for two months. He also took my blood every day. I don't know what he's up to."
"So, if anything is delayed in your Immortal Alliance, if you want to hold someone accountable, you should first look for this deaf man. He's just as despicable as the madman who imprisoned me."
Ji Lingche raised his eyebrows and asked, "The madman you are talking about is Fu Yannian?"
The young man smiled and said, "I don't know his name, but he's probably the one you were talking about."
Ji Lingche: "What is your relationship with him?"
The young man said, "To be honest, I was just a small-time tomb robber. When I was wandering to the imperial mausoleum in Shangjing, I ran into that guy."
"He killed all my accomplices, but for some reason he kept me alive. He even said he wanted to take me in as his apprentice, forcing me to call him Master. I tried to run away several times, but couldn't. He nearly broke my legs, so I had no choice but to play along. It was a long time later that I finally found an opportunity to escape."
Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a long time before saying, "Tomb robber..."
"It seems monks rarely do this kind of thing."
The young man smiled and said, "Although I come from an aristocratic family and should be considered a member of the immortal family, my family was wiped out when I was very young. My relatives died or dispersed, and no one paid any attention to me. Since then, I have been wandering around. Although I have learned some immortal techniques, I have only just started and cannot be considered a cultivator."
"From then on, I mingled with the common people, scamming people everywhere. Later, I found an opportunity and started digging graves. Because I knew some magic, I could resist the ghosts in the tombs when I encountered them, so I quickly became famous."
"Those people instigated me to do something big. I was frivolous and thought I was a big shot. I actually led them to rob the Emperor's Tomb. The result was..."
He lowered his eyes and said, "My companions were quite young, but none of them made it out of the Imperial Mausoleum alive."
Qu Wuji suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The young man: "The incense is broken."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "The fragrance of flowers is broken."
The fragrance of flowers is gone, the flowers are blooming, the flowers are graceful.
Ji Lingche murmured, "The Nanzhao Hua clan?"
It is true.
No wonder Zhu Dongfeng would choose this young man as the body for Hua Liu's resurrection, as this young man has the blood of the Hua family in him.
The rain suddenly got heavier, hitting the ground as if it was about to smoke. The young man lying on the roof was washed by the rain, and seemed to have turned into a shadow, blocked by the rain curtain, and for a moment he could not be seen clearly.
Ji Lingche instantly appeared on the rooftop and grabbed the young man by the collar. Hua Xiangduan stood up, but before he could move, his breathing stopped. He kept saying, "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, I'm going to die——"
Ji Lingche sneered: "Where are you going?"
Hua Xiangduan smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to run away, I just felt uncomfortable getting wet on the roof. I wanted to go down, but I can't..."
Ji Lingche grabbed his collar and threw him directly off the roof. The young man fell down, staggered a few times, and almost fell down. Suddenly, he felt a spiritual power coming from behind and holding him steadily.
Qu Wuji waved his sleeves to steady Hua Xiangduan. His cold spiritual pressure spread out, and Hua Xiangduan couldn't help but shiver. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's cold after getting caught in the rain."
"...I haven't established my foundation yet. My mortal body can't withstand the cold. I'm not as good as you immortals. Please forgive me for making fun of you."
Zheng Hongqiao stood in the rain, she was a little dazed, and could only say: "The fragrance of flowers is gone!"
"Why didn't you leave just now?!"
Hua Xiangduan was stunned for a moment, and Zheng Hongqiao continued, "It's really a waste of all the hardship I went through to save you!"
The young man didn't care much, waved his hand, and said, "Why are you so angry? If I could run away, why wouldn't I run away?"
Zheng Hongqiao was furious and her face quickly turned red. She raised her hand to wipe the rain off her face, feeling even more embarrassed. Standing in this desolate place, she felt like a clown and turned around to leave.
Ji Lingche suddenly appeared and said, "Did I let you go?"
Zheng Hongqiao stopped dead in his tracks. Ji Lingche said coldly, "Your business is not over yet."
Although there was a water-avoiding spell, the rain still made Ji Lingche upset. She looked at Zhu Dongfeng irritably. Zhu Dongfeng was in a trance and was startled by Ji Lingche's stare, but did not understand what she meant.
Qu Wuji said coldly, "As the Assistant Commander of the Evil Suppression Division, how long are you going to make us stand in the rain?"
…
Behind the government office is a large courtyard with several houses and a large hall in the middle.
Although the facilities in the house are sloppy, it can be considered a place for meetings.
Hua Xiangduan walked in from outside, and her body, which was tense due to the cold, finally relaxed.
He was the only one among these people who was actually caught in the rain.
He rubbed his hands to warm up his body temperature faster.
Ji Lingche stood quietly under the eaves, watching the rain curtain spread out, and suddenly felt that Yelang also had a gloomy beauty.
Qu Wuji said in a cold voice, "You just said that you all participated in what Fu Yannian did in the underground palace."
He leaned back in his chair, tapping the tabletop lightly with his fingers, and glanced coldly at the two teenagers.
The consuls of the Evil Suppression Division huddled in a row against the wall, not daring to speak or move, each one of them silent as a mouse.
Zheng Hongqiao's head was buzzing. He stood in front of Qu Wuji, trembling constantly and unable to say anything.
She knew exactly what her master was up to. If she got involved in this kind of thing, there would be absolutely no way for her to survive. Moreover, she was indeed helping her master...
But Hua Xiangduan had a smile on her face, as if Qu Wuji's cold spiritual pressure didn't exist.
He took off his wet clothes, leaving only his inner layer, and rubbed his hands while saying, "I did participate—"
"But this isn't my own will. I was imprisoned in the Imperial Mausoleum by that lunatic for three or four years. I'm the victim, okay?"
Qu Wuji picked up the empty tea bowl on the table, flicked his hand lightly, and conjured up a bowl of hot tea, pushing it forward.
Hua Xiangduan was stunned for a moment, looking at the bowl of hot tea.
Qu Wuji chuckled: "Do you dare to drink?"
Hua Xiangduan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bowl of hot tea and drank it all in one gulp.
He only felt a warmth flowing through his meridians, and the coldness in his body was instantly dispelled, and the pain was soothed.
Qu Wu Ji waved his hand, and the boy's wet clothes dried instantly.
The boy couldn't help but be stunned and touched his body in disbelief.
Qu Wuji said slowly: "I will ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully."
His voice grew colder. "Do you know how to parasitize the embryo from the Emperor's mausoleum into a human's golden elixir?"
Hua Xiangduan laughed and said simply, "I know."
"To tell you the truth, I not only know how to implant this thing in a human, I also know how to kill the demon fetus."
Ji Lingche had been staring at the rain curtain in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking. Now he turned around and looked into the house.
She leaned against the door frame and looked at the boy dimly.
Hua Xiangduan raised the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, only I can do this kind of thing."
"That madman in the Imperial Mausoleum told me to call him Master, but he's nowhere near as good as me."
The young man laughed and said, "The reason he didn't kill me at the time was because he saw my talent. He imprisoned me in the Imperial Mausoleum and forced me to help him do these things."
"He couldn't have done it without me."
He was full of vigor when he said this. Standing in front of a group of geniuses, he still had a kind of arrogance that was ignorant of the immensity of the world, like a gust of wind.
When Ji Lingche looked at him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
She suddenly seemed to see herself in this young man.
Hua Xiangduan said, "I know that madman wants to use these demon fetuses to do evil. While deceiving him, I am secretly researching how to kill these embryos."
"They don't know about this. If they knew, I would have been killed by them long ago. I wouldn't have been able to escape, and naturally I wouldn't have the chance to stand here—"
"After I escaped from the imperial mausoleum, I wanted to join the Immortal Alliance. Unfortunately, I was captured and brought to Yelang before I could even run out of Shangjing, which delayed me for so long." He glanced at Zhu Dongfeng who was standing by the wall and said with a frown.
Ji Lingche said: "You come to the Immortal Alliance, aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
Hua Xiangduan: "It doesn't matter if I die."
"But if these demon fetuses were to cause a catastrophe, I would be terribly terrified. That would be an irreparable disaster."
Ji Lingche laughed: "Good boy. Can you abort the demon fetus that has already formed in the human golden elixir?"
Hua Xiangduan: "It is possible, but that person's golden elixir will be wasted--"
"But it's better to be disabled than to become a monster."
Ji Lingche looked at him with a smile, as if he admired him very much.
Hua Xiangduan said, "But I also have conditions."
Ji Lingche raised his eyebrows and said, "I want you to stop blaming me and her—"
He pointed at Zheng Hongqiao who was standing aside and said, "I hope the Immortal Master can understand the pity of little disciples like us."
"We weren't involved in this incident voluntarily. We had no choice but to follow Master's decision and stance. Even though we did something wrong, we had no other choice..."
Ji Lingche chuckled: "Okay, I promise you."
"As long as you draw a clear line between yourself and those people from now on, the Immortal Alliance will forgive you for what happened."
She glanced at Zheng Hongqiao. Although she had seen this man's bullying face when she was still Hua Wanwan, there was no need for her to bother with a child.
Zheng Hongqiao suddenly felt the blood that had been coagulated for a long time flowing back, and her face quickly turned red. She turned to look at Hua Xiangduan, her throat moved, but she said nothing. Then she shifted her gaze to Ji Lingche. As soon as she glanced at her, she seemed to be scalded and quickly lowered her head.
Ji Lingche looked at Qu Wuji and said, "There are too many people here. Let's take them back to Guangyao Peak and talk in detail."
At this moment, Ji Lingche was startled and turned to look outside the door——
The door was wide open, and rain and fog poured in. Through the rain curtain, a figure gradually became clear.
The thing stood solemnly in the rain, looking both solemn and eerie.
Hua Xiangduan's eyes also turned to the door, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he shouted loudly: "Not good——"
“Let’s go!!”
