Chapter 636 Everything was arranged, and he was so excited.
The ghost gave Xiao Tang and Di Youming a strange look, as if it wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing that the other party had no hostility, Xiao Tang naturally put away his ghost-catching artifact.
At least there's someone providing information.
"Just tell me who's inside, and I'll help you get out. Isn't that a good deal?"
Xiao Tang narrowed her eyes and offered an olive branch.
The ghost revealed a profound and unfathomable expression. After a moment's thought, it agreed, "Alright, I'll tell you. That person inside was tortured beyond recognition."
"What use is his profound skills if he is imprisoned here because of Emperor Dongyuan's order? To prevent him from escaping, the sect leader severed his tendons and left him to spend the rest of his life here."
“If you want to go in, I can show you how to get in, but if you want to get out, that will be very difficult.”
Xiao Tang raised an eyebrow. "It's alright. You give me directions, and I'll show you the way out."
And so, the human and the ghost formed a partnership.
Di Youming had no idea what was happening. He just watched as his imperial aunt pointed at something in the void and then made a hand seal, as if she was breaking something.
Before he could react, he felt a gust of wind rush in.
Countless eerie winds billowed out from the cave.
Although Di Youming could not see anything, he could keenly sense that the ghosts that had been floating around him suddenly rushed out.
He pointed blankly at the cave entrance, only to see Xiao Tang walk in as if nothing had happened.
"Aunt, what... what just happened?"
"It's nothing, we just released all the ghosts that were guarding inside."
They...they were released?
Emperor Youming's mouth gaped open in shock, unsure of what to say, and he could only silently follow behind.
He could clearly sense that Xiao Tang was talking to those ghosts and monsters, but he couldn't hear her, and he was very anxious.
It must be something related to his father.
Unfortunately, you can't really understand it just by listening.
Xiao Tang led him through the dark passage.
I never imagined that the seemingly shallow cave would be so deep inside, so deep that it made my heart race.
Finally, a stone gate with intricate inscriptions appeared.
There was a small hole next to the stone gate, where rotten and smelly food was still stored.
This hole was probably used to put food in and feed the people inside, right?
Xiao Tang's expression became more complicated as she looked at Di Youming.
This child is truly pitiful.
No wonder he turned evil in the book.
Di Youming stared intently at the bowl, paused for a moment, and then asked weakly, "My father... is inside?"
His voice trembled.
They probably don't want to believe it.
The food was so bad it stank and the smell filled the air.
He couldn't believe what kind of past his father had gone through inside.
“I heard from that ghost that your father was the son of Prince Xiao, and also the heir apparent of Prince Xiao. Prince Xiao, as Huangfu Cangyun’s uncle, has always been feared by Huangfu Cangyun.”
"Later, King Xiao passed away, and the throne passed to your father, Huangfu Mohan. In terms of seniority, he is of the same generation as the current Emperor of Dongyuan, but because he has always been feared by the Emperor of Dongyuan, therefore..."
Xiao Tang sighed, "I can remove the talisman on this wall now. Once it's removed, I can push open this stone door and see him."
"Royal Aunt!"
Di Youming suddenly grabbed her wrist, his eyes filled with sorrow.
This child always pretended to be serious and composed, but now he suddenly looked sad, which surprised Xiao Tang.
You can rest assured.
She thought he was worried about the mechanism or something like that.
"Aunt, my father... if he is seriously injured, can you save him?"
Just like healing his leg.
Xiao Tang was stumped by the boy's question.
That's a difficult question to answer.
After all, who knows what unexpected things might happen next?
If someone is truly so badly injured that they are on their last breath, even a divine being couldn't save them.
But she really didn't want to see the child's disappointment, and her words caught in her throat, leaving her speechless for a moment.
Having roughly figured out something, the boy lowered his head and said softly, "I understand. Then let's open the door and take a look."
He guessed that Xiao Tang had heard what the ghost said, and she must know everything in her heart.
Xiao Tang pursed her lips, then bit her finger to break the curse on the stone door.
...
An inn in a small town at the foot of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
Yan Jiu rushed back and looked at the man sitting to the side, slowly drinking tea. He said in a low voice, "Master, everything is arranged. The people and archers outside the Dongyuan Imperial Palace have all been arranged."
The man gave a soft "hmm".
"Master...when shall we go up the mountain?"
Now that we're here, are we getting ready to go up the mountain and take the goddess away?
Yan Jiu knew that success or failure hinged on this one move.
Originally, it was thought that Emperor Jingling had only come to escort the Empress back to the palace, but unexpectedly, he had also laid a trap, intending to...
Emperor Dongyuan is truly pitiful.
"No rush, we can go up later."
Di Jingling put down her teacup and muttered to herself, "She should be looking for Huangfu Mohan right now."
Huangfu Mohan...
He is Di Youming's biological father.
Is this person, who has been hiding for so long, finally going to show up?
Yan Jiu was also quite excited.
"But I'm worried about Your Majesty..."
"Have all the people been arranged?"
Yan Jiu nodded. "The people from Shensuan Mountain have all been arranged."
"You can go out now."
Yan Jiu was kicked out. He touched the tip of his nose as he left, feeling especially excited today.
The thought of finally dealing with the troublesome Ten Thousand Demons Sect tonight, and the possibility that Emperor Dongyuan might lose his life here tonight…
