A strong wind suddenly arose, the howling of wolves reached the sky, and fallen leaves and petals were whirled around Qiqing in the wind. "Qiqing..." a rapid male voice came from a distance, and "Ao..." was followed by a deafening wolf howl.
"Your Highness, it's the Fourth Prince," Bai Shi exclaimed, pointing into the distance.
"Zheng..." The sharp sword whistled, piercing the sky. With a bang, the air around Qiqing exploded, and Qiqing flew upwards to catch the sharp sword that broke through the air.
Red robes fluttered, and clouds and butterflies swirled. The red-haired witch, a look of sarcasm on her face, clutching a magic sword, her red eyes raking over everyone present. She said coldly, "I had no idea you were so desperate to get yourself killed!"
"Demon Sword?"
"It's the magic sword!" someone in the crowd asked in surprise.
Qi Qing gently stroked the magic sword, which had a deep purple blade and was 3 feet 3 inches long. His eyes were filled with evil intent, as if he was answering or muttering to himself: "Magic sword? Of course it's the magic sword. It's so useless that it's been locked up for so long."
The magic sword suddenly made a rumbling sound, as if dissatisfied with Qiqing's words, and Qiqing sneered.
"It's really a magic sword! Witch, hand over the magic sword!"
"Yes, hand over the magic sword..."
Qiqing tilted his head and said, "Hand it over? Sure, come and get it if you want it! Hmm?" Then he handed the magic sword forward.
Everyone present looked at each other, but no one dared to move.
Qi Qing chuckled. "Don't you want the magic sword? What? Are you afraid?"
"Why are you so afraid? Humph! Witch, today is the day you die!"
"Yes, let's attack together! I don't believe that so many people can't kill this witch!"
"Yes, that's right..."
Qi Qing said provocatively: "Yes, let's go together, I have a companion on the road to the underworld."
The demonic sword's aura was cold and eerie. Having remained bloodthirsty for years, the demonic sword, now awakened, was incomparably excited. The sword, like its master, followed its master wherever he went, reaping countless wronged souls.
Zhibai signaled Emperor Sheng Yuan to release his arrows, and Huangfu Tian waved his hand. Sharp arrows flew across the sky, forming a net that enveloped Qi Qing. Qi Qing flew forward, wielding his magic sword in a flower pattern, sweeping down the arrows and charging towards the surrounding crowd, instantly causing another group to fall.
Seeing this, everyone stepped back, leaving a blank space in the middle.
With a cold and cruel face, he looked at Zhibai who was standing beside Emperor Sheng Yuan and said indifferently, "Zhibai, I don't know who your master is, but...
Since you were a descendant of the Qishan lineage, yet you actually defected and secretly took the Qishan files, spreading the Qishan incident everywhere, you deserve death. Now that your master is dead, it is only right that you take the blame for him.
Furthermore, you are not innocent. Twenty years ago, you, inspired by the fragmentary records, harbored evil intentions and sought to seize the most precious treasure from Mount Qishan. First, you used a woman from Mount Qishan to seduce the Emperor of Shang. Unexpectedly, the Emperor, though not a good ruler, was deeply in love with the Empress Shang and did not fall for your scheme.
When your plan failed, you hatched another evil plan, murdering the Queen of Shang and blaming the Emperor of Shang for being bewitched by a witch. You persuaded the fool Huangfu Tian to avenge your sister, besiege Mount Qishan, and steal the magic sword.
As for that idiot Huangfu Tian, I really don't know whether you were the one who killed his sister or he was also one of the accomplices. I am not sure about this. In the end, he also benefited, didn't he? "
Emperor Shengyuan Huangfu Tian's face turned pale and blue, and he didn't know whether it was because he was really deceived by Zhibai or because Qiqing called him a fool.
After a flash of obvious panic across Zhibai's face, he regained his composure and said, "What makes you say that this national teacher was responsible for what happened twenty years ago? What evidence do you have?"
Qi Qing raised an eyebrow. "What I said is the evidence. All of this was said by the Emperor of Shang before his death. He did go to Mount Qishan, but not for the demon concubine. He went to save his queen. Unfortunately, he was dying at that time."
"I can testify to this!" Bai Ziyu pointed at Zhibai and said loudly, "Zhibai, this prince and Xiaoguai have been under house arrest in your mansion for the past few days. It was only because the deafening sound of the magic sword attracted the guards in your mansion that we had the opportunity to escape.
This prince saw with his own eyes that the magic sword broke through the air from the secret room in your Imperial Master's Mansion! Anyone who doesn't believe it can go to the Imperial Master's Mansion and see for themselves now."
Bai Ziyu was a prince, so there was no need to frame Zhibai. Furthermore, the Imperial Master's Residence wasn't far from the palace, so even they would have noticed the noises there. Furthermore, the damaged Imperial Master's Residence wouldn't be restored in a short time.
So just as the witch said, the magic sword had been obtained by the state master of Shengyuan Kingdom twenty years ago, but not long ago, Shengyuan Kingdom used the magic sword and the soul-separation pill as an excuse to trick everyone into besieging Qishan again. They were really vicious.
Now everyone can’t imagine that they were their relatives and friends in the beginning. They were attracted by the magic sword and the soul-separation pill, so they took the risk to attack Mount Qishan. They can’t blame others.
Shang Chen did not attend the ceremony due to a sudden illness, and waited until it was over. They did not care about the problems between Shengyuan Kingdom and Shang Kingdom. After all, only one in ten of the real royal family of Shang Kingdom remained. Even if Shang Chen had hatred in his heart, it would be difficult for him to seek revenge in a short time.
Just when some people were denouncing the State Master of Shengyuan Kingdom for being unworthy of being a cultivator, some were accusing Emperor Shengyuan of giving everyone an explanation, and some were cursing the Witch of Seven Emotions for killing innocent people.
Zhibai quietly winked at Wang An, who was standing beside Huangfu Lingao. Wang An immediately summoned over a thousand soldiers, dressed similarly to the Posha Army, to surround Qiqing. These soldiers were clearly much more capable than ordinary soldiers.
Huangfu Tian angrily said, "Grandmaster, how dare you mobilize the Imperial Guards without permission!"
Zhibai said, "Your Majesty, everything I do is for you. It was you who asked for immortality, and the Soul-Separation Pill on Mount Qishan can fulfill your wish. As long as this Qiqing dies, the Soul-Separation Pill will be yours."
Emperor Shengyuan was somewhat moved by what he heard. Although Zhibai had plotted to kill his sister, the dead could not be resurrected. Now, it would be useless to pursue me. It would be better...
Seeing Emperor Sheng Yuan's expression, Zhi Bai couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. See, this is the heart of an emperor. As long as it can be immortal, not to mention his own sister, even his own son, I am afraid he would sacrifice it at will.
The blood from Qiqing's hand slowly flowed down and onto the magic sword, which suddenly shone brightly and trembled uncontrollably. The aura around Qiqing also changed. Qiqing had been arrogant and wanton, with the magic sword in hand, killing people without hesitation.
But now, Qi Qing no longer held the magic sword in his hands, but was controlled by it, becoming its puppet, a killing machine without any independent consciousness. Unaware of pain, inexhaustible, with only one command left: to kill!
In less than a moment, the originally solemn and festive ceremony turned into purgatory on earth.
"Zi Yu, Qi Qing is acting very strangely now, go and stop her..." Bai Zi Che shouted.
"Going astray..." Huangfu Lingao said.
