Chapter 285: Risking the Gamble
"Your Majesty, the Demon-Slaying Sword is spiritual. This proves that Jiang Yunxi is not a big devil. You don't have to worry about her killing innocent people." Zhan Beiyuan looked at Emperor Su Ming.
He knew exactly what he was thinking.
Emperor Su Ming was already stunned by the scene just now. He was watching when Jiang Yunxi handed over the sword, so he saw clearly the scene where the Demon-Slaying Sword jumped up and hit the Imperial Master.
It was indeed the sword itself that struck him.
This sword has consciousness and has not lost its spirituality as the national teacher said.
Oh my god, this is the sword!
He never expected that he would be able to see such a magical scene in his lifetime.
"National Master, since the Demon-Slaying Sword is spiritual, and we are all here, why don't we go to the secret room and take a look." Emperor Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want any demons to appear in the world.
They are mortal beings, how can they fight against the devil?
Yuheng felt very upset. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Jiang Yunxi go in to verify. What if the person suppressed under the altar was not the big devil? Wouldn't that mean that Nanman had lied?
No, he should trust Nanman.
If he wasn't the big devil, they wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to set up an altar in the Tenglong Kingdom's palace and provide the national master to guard here to prevent any accidents.
"Miss Jiang, what would you do if the person suppressed under the altar was a big devil?" Yuheng looked at her with a grim face. What right did she have to question Nanman?
"I will leave the capital and never set foot here again." Jiang Yunxi took the gamble. She believed in the Demon-Slaying Sword. It was so spiritual just now.
I'm afraid that even if there is a seal in the secret room, it can still sense the breath of the devil.
But it has always been quiet, which means there is indeed no demon in the palace.
"Okay." Yuheng said nothing more. He chose to believe Nanman.
The group walked towards the palace where the altar was located.
After entering the secret passage.
Meng Po looked around as she walked. There was such a strong aura of death. This was her first time here. She also wanted to see what kind of altar the first high priest king of Nanman had built.
When he arrived at the door of the secret room, Yuheng stood there for a while before opening it.
On the way here, he was thinking, what should he do if the altar didn't suppress the big devil?
The stone door slowly opened.
Yuheng walked in first. He quickly stood at the entrance of the altar with a defensive posture. No matter what was suppressed under the altar, he would not let them destroy the altar.
Jiang Yunxi walked in step by step with the Demon-Slaying Sword, but the Demon-Slaying Sword did not react at all. She had no choice but to walk around the altar, but the Demon-Slaying Sword still did not react.
"National Master, did you see that? The Demon-Slaying Sword didn't react at all. There's no so-called big devil here." Jiang Yunxi held up the Demon-Slaying Sword. It seemed that the first National Master had lied.
To be precise, it was Nanman who lied.
How could a national teacher have such great ability? It must be the Southern Barbarians who asked him to do this.
"This, how could it be... Impossible, there must be something wrong with the Demon-Slaying Sword." Yuheng retorted loudly. He naturally could not admit that there was no big devil here.
That would be tantamount to admitting that Nanman lied.
"As a national teacher, can't you sense whether there is any evil aura here? The first time I came here, I didn't notice any evil aura." Jiang Yunxi said coldly.
It's normal that he doesn't want to believe it.
For the emperor of the Tenglong Kingdom, they only thought that the person suppressed under the altar was a big devil. This lie has been around for hundreds of years, so how could he admit it?
"There is indeed no evil spirit here." Meng Po told the truth, so why did the Nanman lie to Tenglong Kingdom and say that there were the remains of the great devil here?
Qianheng was filled with rage. She had thought there really was a big devil here whose body was torn into pieces, and she was even thinking of whipping his corpse.
Yu Heng's face darkened, and he said confidently, "There's a seal beneath the altar, so it's normal that we can't sense any evil energy."
Yes, that's right, that must be it.
He couldn't be misled by Jiang Yunxi's words and start to suspect Nanman.
When the former national master brought him here, he did not sense any evil aura. Of course, he did not ask any more questions, there was no need.
He just has to shoulder his responsibilities.
"If the Imperial Master insists on saying that, what can I do? I only know that my soul and spirit are here, and I want to take them away." Jiang Yunxi said in a strong tone.
"Your soul and spirit are not here. What do you want to do?" Yuheng said angrily.
Jiang Yunxi looked at the mural in the distance. "That's the Tai Chi Soul-Calming Diagram. My soul and spirit are in the altar."
The words fell.
She took out the soul-gathering bead from her sleeve pocket.
"Soul Gathering Pearl." Meng Po recognized it immediately. She had seen this thing in ancient books.
"Yes, this is the Soul Gathering Orb." Jiang Yunxi handed the Demon-Slaying Sword to Zhan Beiyuan and asked him to help hold it.
Just as Zhan Beiyuan was about to take it, the Demon-Slaying Sword slipped away and hovered in the air.
Everyone: “…”
Yuheng felt a little more balanced after watching this scene. At least it wasn't just him who couldn't touch the Demon-Slaying Sword, but King Han couldn't touch it either.
Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she no longer cared about the Demon-Slaying Sword. She pulled out the hairpin on her head and cut her palm. Blood flowed out instantly, and she held the Soul-Gathering Orb tightly.
Her soul is here, so there is no need to take her heart blood.
Suddenly, the soul-gathering bead flew out from her palm and hovered above the altar, with a dazzling red light all around it.
"The Soul Gathering Orb absorbed my blood. It sensed my soul, which is why it had such a big reaction." Jiang Yunxi looked at the Soul Gathering Orb that was constantly jumping.
Yuheng frowned, his heart in turmoil. The former national teacher told him that the remains of the great devil were suppressed under the altar and must be carefully guarded.
To prevent the big devil from being torn into pieces and running out to wreak havoc on the world.
But now the spiritual Demon-Slaying Sword is here, and it has no reaction, which means it has not sensed the breath of the devil, and Jiang Yunxi's soul and spirit are here.
What exactly happened back then?
At this time, he was also confused.
But even so, he could only deny it, not admit it.
"How come your soul and spirit are here? Didn't Nanman say that he was suppressing the big devil, but there is no big devil here." Qianheng was full of confusion.
After coming out of Huangquan yesterday, Jiang Yunxi tested her, but she was unwilling to think about it.
Because she knew that even if she used her brain she couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and said, "This means that the one being suppressed here is not the big devil at all, but someone else. Nanman is lying."
In fact, she had a bold guess in her mind.
"Is this other one your soul and spirit, or is there someone else?" Qian Heng widened her eyes and her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that she was not an ordinary person in her previous life.
Otherwise, why would Nanman go to such great lengths to suppress her soul, even using the Tai Chi Soul-Calming Diagram? She was now even more curious about what kind of place Nanman was.
They actually know the Tai Chi Soul-Calming Diagram.
Now she understood that this was not where she used to live, but the lowest underworld. It must have been her tribe that brought her here to be buried.
Why would they do this?
Will there be descendants of her people in the underworld?
Jiang Yunxi looked at Yuheng and said meaningfully, "You'll have to ask Nanman about that."
Yu Heng's face darkened as he angrily said, "All of this is just your speculation. Stop slandering Nanman here. Nanman wouldn't set up an altar for no reason. Maybe you are the big devil!"
