Chapter 388: Declaration of War
"This is the fourth one! But there's no guarantee that he can be saved. He said he'll do his best."
Tai Shiyu put his hands behind his back and sighed, "I have always been on guard against him. I think the cult's fourth son of God's words are not groundless. But I admire his spirit and fighting spirit."
"With such a big mess, I wanted to retreat, but he was able to rise to the challenge. With such resilience and responsibility, how could he join a cult?"
Jiang Ning didn't comment on anything, but just stood there quietly waiting.
She knows what kind of person Li Weiyi is better than anyone else.
Li Weiyi finished refining, took back the spiritual light thread, looked at the stunning fairy standing under the shade of the tree, and forced a smile: "How was your harvest last night?"
"We won a great victory, with very few fish slipping through the net. Tell me, how should I thank you?" Jiang Ning asked.
Li Weiyi asked, "Would you like to have breakfast?"
"Okay! You choose the place and I'll pay the bill." Jiang Ning said.
Tai Shiyu didn't understand what they were talking about, but he was very confident in them. They were both sensible people. He said, "Don't be picky. Let's eat at Taichang Temple. Fairy Yu, you're in now. You may not be able to leave for the time being."
When Jiang Ning came in, he noticed the strange atmosphere and asked, "What came out of the interrogation last night?"
Footsteps were heard.
Taishi Bai came quickly, his armor was covered in blood, and he rushed to the Taichang Temple without changing his clothes. Just now, he had gone to check on Long Xiangcen and learned that she had been fed with the Zimu Spring.
Seeing that he was about to ask for an explanation, Tai Shiyu spoke first, "Just tell me, did I spare her life until dawn? She only drank a ladle of Zi Mu Spring, who knows, you might get a child for free next year."
Tai Shi Bai said: "Do I look like I'm joking now?"
Tai Shiyu's smile faded: "Don't you want to know what she confessed?"
"I don't want to hear you."
Tai Shibai looked at Li Weiyi: "Tell me, I believe you. You won't lie to me, right? So, she lied to me again yesterday?"
Li Weiyi sighed, "There's nothing wrong with being sincere and loyal in love, but she doesn't deserve it."
Tai Shi Bai was calmer than Li Weiyi had imagined. He pondered for a moment and nodded: "What on earth happened in Taichang Temple? When I came in, I found that everyone's expression was very solemn. The elimination of the powerful undead should be exciting news."
Li Weiyi smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Tai Shiyu was in a bad mood, thinking that Tai Shibai had too deep a prejudice against him: "Something big has happened! The ghost baby incident that your cousin confessed to is not as simple as it is now, the situation is ten times, a hundred times more terrifying. The old man went to the palace to see the Third Palace Master last night, and he hasn't come back yet."
Tai Shi Bai and Jiang Ning are the new generation of forces in the court who are brave and have a strong sense of responsibility.
Hearing this, both of them changed their expressions.
Li Weiyi reminded him, "Master Taishi has issued a gag order, and all of his clan will be executed."
"If he kills himself, there's nothing we can do about it."
Tai Shiyu had no scruples and told Long Xiangcen's confession without reservation.
Then, he scolded Taishi Bai: "Look at your horrified expression. Are you frightened? If we don't give her the Mother and Child Spring, will she tell us this secret? You won't blame us now, right?"
Tai Shi Bai was shaking all over, and he said angrily, "Is this the time to investigate and blame someone? Can you tell the priorities? Do you know what this means? Something big has happened, something big has happened to the whole world!"
Jiang Ning couldn't believe it and looked at Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi nodded slightly.
"I have to go back to Luantai immediately." Jiang Ning said.
Tai Shiyu said, "You can't get out! Besides, the top figures in the city must have been summoned to the palace for a meeting last night. Just wait patiently, there's no point in being anxious. Let's go have breakfast first?"
Taishi Bai said: "Can you still eat?"
"If you can't eat, go ask your cousin again to see if she knows some useful information." Tai Shiyu said.
"Let's go."
As Taishi Bai rushed over, a great figure from the realm of immortality came to the palace and took Long Xiangcen away.
It was not until the evening that Taishi Qingshi dragged his exhausted body back to Taichang Temple, like a walking corpse, as if all his energy had been exhausted.
Long Xiangcen was also carried back, looking exhausted.
Tai Shi Yu and Tai Shi Bai immediately went to the government office to inquire. The two brothers were very concerned about the results of the court's deliberation.
Not long.
Inside the yamen, the three of them had a fierce quarrel.
"This is so stupid! The imperial court is going to perish!" Taishi Bai was furious.
Tai Shiyu's voice rang out: "Dad, what are you afraid of..."
Someone released a telekinetic field, blocking out the sound so that the quarrel could no longer be heard.
Li Weiyi and Jiang Ning were waiting in the distance. The gate and formation of Taichang Temple had been opened and could not be kept closed. After reporting and registering, they could go out.
Soon after, the door of the yamen opened.
With a loud bang, Tai Shi Yu and Tai Shi Bai were blown away by the huge amount of spiritual light.
"roll!"
Inside the room, Taishi Qingshi lost his usual composure and shouted loudly.
Tai Shi Yu and Tai Shi Bai were both big shots outside, one was the leader and the other was the second in command, but at this moment they were both covered in dust and looked full of resentment.
Li Weiyi and Jiang Ning stepped forward quickly to inquire about the situation.
Tai Shi Bai's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he was furious: "Second uncle said that the court discussed it for a whole day and night, and almost had a fight in the court. But there was an irresistible force over at Liunian Zen Temple, and you finally decided to give up temporarily..."
Jiang Ning's tone was cold: "What do you mean by giving up temporarily?"
Tai Shi Bai said: "Give up for now, that is, pretend not to know, and regard this as false information. Many people believe that it is impossible for Zi Mu Spring to have problems from the beginning, and it is a means for the demons to confuse people. The words of a junior are not credible at all."
Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes, somewhat understanding why they were angry: "Pretending to be deaf and dumb can solve the problem, but what if it explodes?"
Tai Shi Bai said: "Second uncle said that the court will discuss this matter again in the next few days and will think of a safe solution. It is possible that a special army will be organized to control the people related to Zimuquan in advance, and once the large-scale alienation occurs, they will be killed immediately."
"Is this a solution?" Jiang Ning said.
Li Weiyi said, "If the imperial court cannot find out the specific problem with Zimu Spring, then the possibility of a full-scale outbreak is definitely not small. What is the irresistible force you just mentioned?"
Tai Shiyu had calmed down and sighed, "The situation at Liunian Zen Temple seems to be related to the Demon Country, but my father didn't dare to tell us too much. He only said that even the Third Palace Master was powerless to do anything about it."
"Right now, war is about to break out in the western region."
"The cult's strange methods have caused several states and thousands of miles of territory to be covered with tombstones and graves. The corpses growing rice may soon sweep across the entire Lingxiao habitat."
"If we make enemies with the Demonic Kingdom again without sufficient evidence, they will use this as an excuse to join the war to divide the imperial court. Who dares to fight against the people of the Demonic Kingdom just because of a word from a junior?"
"What if this is a plot by Luan Shenglinyou and the demon race?"
Tai Shi Bai said: "They are just afraid of offending the Demon Country, so they don't even have the confidence to break into the Six Thoughts Zen Temple to arrest people. Evidence, it's already this time, and they are still talking about evidence. Are those ghost mothers and ghost babies all fake? The Transcendent and Longevity Realm giants can't hold up their backbones, so how can the younger generations live with dignity? How can they survive? I'm going to Liangzhou to find Grandpa now, and I'll invite him back."
Tai Shi Bai, wearing a bloody armor and full of anger, rushed out of the gate of Taichang Temple.
Li Weiyi asked, "Did you ask Lord Taishi whether they went to Liunian Zen Temple last night?"
Tai Shiyu shook his head slightly: "My father is very taboo about this. He strictly told me that it is a forbidden place and I am not allowed to go there. Now, is it really possible for me to just sit there and wait for death?"
"There is another way."
Li Weiyi looked at the nearby, thousand-foot-high Fengge Palace complex, which was majestic, towering and bright.
Jiang Ning understood: "I will go find Ge Xiantong, he is the only one who can go up the mountain."
The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, night.
The sky gradually darkened.
Tai Shiyu asked, "Based on your understanding of Luan Sheng Lin You, do you think this is his plan?"
Li Weiyi shook his head: "If it was a plot, he would have spread the news when the ghost mother and ghost baby incident occurred, and waited for the situation to ferment, instead of hiding it. Luan Sheng Lin You deliberately wanted to lead me to Liu Nian Zen Temple, hoping to kill me with a borrowed knife. This just shows that he really knows the inside story."
“Bang!”
Tai Shiyu punched the wall heavily, triggering countless formations: "When it rains, it leaks. When it rains, it rains. I feel that Lingxiao City is really doomed. It was destined more than 20 years ago."
"Li Weiyi, let me tell you a cruel truth! The reason why the top leaders are still holding on to illusions and are afraid to act is because, when the imperial court is destroyed and the entire Lingxiao habitat becomes food, playthings, and livestock for the demons, they can escape to other habitats. They are strong, but not every strong person has responsibilities and obligations."
"So, there was an argument in the court last night, and it was divided into two factions. It was a fight between those who take responsibility and those who are opportunists."
"When a war of genocide occurs, those who flee are usually the strong, because only the strong have the ability to escape."
Li Weiyi remained silent, feeling even more depressed. Just like Taishi Bai said, if the giants in the realm of transcendence and immortality could not hold up their backbone, the common people below would be able to live as neither human nor ghost.
It was completely dark.
Li Weiyi and Tai Shiyu had no image of strong men at all. They sat on the snow, no longer speaking, and engaged in some kind of psychological struggle in silence.
Until Jiang Ning and Ge Xiantong arrived.
Ge Xiantong sighed apologetically, "I know everything! I went to the top of the mountain just now, but... the palace gate can't be opened, and I can't get in. The master didn't respond at all, and I have tried everything! Third Palace Master, Jiang Ning and I also went to pay our respects, but he didn't see us at all. As soon as one wave subsided, another wave arose. How did it suddenly come to this?"
“It’s snowing!”
Li Weiyi raised his head, stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake in his palm, clenched his five fingers, and finally made up his mind: "Then let's open the sky! Force the Third Palace Master to make a decision, and use the mighty force to force her to fight against it."
Tai Shiyu's face changed. "If you spread the news, it will surely cause violent unrest. How could the demons and the evil cult not take this opportunity to attack? By then, you will be pushed out as a sinner."
"No, I want to go to Liunian Zen Temple and take everyone there, the whole city. I want to see what is hidden inside? What is it that makes all the officials in the court so afraid?"
Li Weiyi took out a pen and ink from his bag and wrote a letter of challenge: "On New Year's Eve, the peak of the Six Thoughts. The cold stars reflected the snow, life and death were decided by heaven."
"Jiang Ning, deliver this letter of challenge to Xie Chucai. Tell him that this is a matter of life and death as well as victory."
"Doesn't he have a very powerful background? Isn't he working for the Demonic Kingdom? Hasn't he always wanted to fight me? Help him! Tell him to fight if he's brave enough. If he's not brave enough, get out of Lingxiao Habitat immediately and don't embarrass himself."
"Xie Chucai must know the secrets that all the phoenixes and unicorns know. I will do what the imperial court dares not do."
