Chapter 187 The first detective of Xuandu Temple and Tiansheng Sect came to Ying State to investigate the assassination of Emperor Ying

When Ying Hongye went to prepare, Ji Changsheng contacted Li Changxi as soon as possible.

"Senior sister, where are you?"

Li Changxi replied online: "Above the Huangquan Sect, my mother and I suppressed the Huangquan Sect together. Junior brother, do you admire me very much?"

Ji Changsheng: “…”

Senior sister, you are more shameless than me.

According to what you said, Adou and Zhao Yun fought seven times together, and Adou was even half a body length ahead of Zhao Yun.

"Have you been in the Xuanhuang Merit Tower all this time?"

Li Changxi: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Ji Changsheng: "Where's Fairy Linglong? She's always here too."

Li Changxi: "Of course, in Xuandu Temple, only my mother and the temple master have the authority to use a powerful weapon like the Xuanhuang Merit Tower. This time, my mother took the initiative and I was the pioneer."

Ji Changsheng simply ignored the last sentence and continued to ask: "Is the temple master here too?"

Li Changxi: "Yes, Junior Brother, what do you want to ask?"

Ji Changsheng told the truth: "The Third Emperor Ying was assassinated. It is said that the assassin was the Absolute Sword Immortal."

Li Changxi: "How is it possible? The Supreme Sword Immortal assassinated Ying III? Are you kidding? Junior brother, wait a minute, I will summarize the information here."

Three minutes later, Li Changxi came back online and gave Ji Changsheng a clear answer: "It was definitely not done by the Assassin's League. As one of the eight gold medal assassins of the Assassin's League, I have not found any records of their actions. Killing Ying III is a matter of great importance. Even the Supreme Sword Immortal would have informed his subordinates."

Ji Changsheng: "... Senior Sister, are you sure you are just one of the eight golden assassins?"

Li Changxi: "Junior brother, what do you mean? Do you still doubt that I am the Supreme Sword Immortal?"

Ji Changsheng thought about what Yu Linglong said to him last time. Li Changxi is now in the Mahayana stage.

Jue Jianxian is undoubtedly a master in the Tribulation Realm.

He also attempted to assassinate a master who had just crossed the Tribulation Realm.

From this perspective, it is indeed unlikely that Li Changxi is the Supreme Sword Immortal.

On the contrary, it is indeed in line with the strength positioning of the eight gold medal assassins.

This was also Ji Changsheng’s initial judgment.

It’s just that the temple master had misled him before, saying that Li Changxi might be the Sword Immortal, and Ji Changsheng was skeptical about it.

According to Ji Changsheng's guess, Jue Jianxian is more likely to be another alias of Yu Linglong.

As a disciple of Taiqing, with Xuanhuang protecting her and virtues bestowed on her, Yu Linglong is one of the few powerful people in the world who can kill people without caring about the consequences.

Of course, Yu Lao Mo didn't seem to be afraid either.

Could this Jue Jian Xian be a public alias?

It is said that Emperor Huangquan is very well hidden, but Juejianxian has never revealed his identity. He and Emperor Huangquan are known as the two most mysterious tribulation masters in the world.

If it is really a public account, it would be too difficult to check. Even if he found out who the Jue Jianxian is, it would be useless because he still needs to verify which "Jue Jianxian" did it.

Ji Changsheng didn’t know much about the Assassin’s League he had joined, but he estimated that his trip to Ying State this time would help him gain a deeper understanding of the Assassin’s League.

"Sister, do you want to go to Yingguo for some fun?"

The situation in Ying State is more complicated.

My wife is only one day away from ascending to heaven.

Ji Changsheng felt far less safe in Ying State than in Qi State, so he planned to take his wife with him to the concubine's house to seek justice for her.

"Maybe Senior Sister's chance to advance to the Tribulation Realm is in Ying Country." Ji Changsheng lied.

Li Changxi refused: "Junior brother, I suggest you go back to Xuandu Temple. Now in Xuandu Temple, you can gain merits just by lying down. Huangquan Sect has committed too many sins. After suppressing Huangquan Sect, the merits of Xuandu Temple have been skyrocketing, and all disciples of Xuandu Temple will get a share of the profits."

Ji Changsheng said frankly: "I still think there are more merits down the mountain, and I prefer to do it myself and have enough food and clothing."

"The Immortal of Absolute Sword issued a mission - denying the assassination of Ying III, and sent two gold medal assassins into Ying State to track down the real culprit... Damn, he actually selected my general."

Inside the Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda, Li Changxi collapsed, leaning back on a cloud chair, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

"Based on my current progress in merit, I feel that I can have the opportunity to transcend the tribulation after lying in Xuandu Temple for ten days at most. What's the matter with Juejianxian? Where are the eight gold medal assassins? Why did he choose my general? Did he find out that I pretended to be him? That's not the case. I pretended to be him and only killed a few hypocritical philanthropists, dozens of corrupt officials with good reputations, and hundreds of small cultivators who were thieves and prostitutes behind the scenes without any evidence. I used his identity to rob less than 10 billion high-quality spirit stones. Is Juejianxian so stingy?"

Li Changxi asked herself that she had not done anything excessive, and the Supreme Sword Immortal should not deliberately take revenge on her.

"It should be just a coincidence." Li Changxi finally came to the conclusion: "If it is not a coincidence, then He will die. I, Taiyin Star Lord, impersonated Him to give Him face. I believe that Juejianxian is a smart person."

…

Qi State.

Ji Changsheng silently digested the information that Li Changxi brought him.

Given Li Changxi's mental state and the fact that she speaks without thinking, some of her words can be believed, but some cannot.

But it was not Ying III who was assassinated by the Absolute Sword Immortal, at least not the real Ying III who was assassinated by the Absolute Sword Immortal. This was Ji Changsheng's first reaction after receiving the news that Ying III was assassinated, and he still has not overturned this intuition.

The positioning of Absolute Sword Immortal and Assassin's League is neutral and chaotic. They are not professional magicians, but more like mercenaries.

Although the Assassin's League claims that they will take on any job as long as they are paid spirit stones, that is only in theory.

In fact, as long as the Assassin's League is not crazy, it will not form a mortal feud with the top immortal sects.

Although Ying State is not a top-notch immortal sect, its strength is not inferior.

And, what is the status of Juejianxian? To be a little disrespectful to my father-in-law, is Ying III worthy of Juejianxian's action?

"If I want to kill Ying III, I can just bribe an insider in the palace. There's no need to mobilize a master in the Tribulation Realm." Ji Changsheng whispered to himself.

The situation of Ying Kingdom is different from that of the top immortal sects. It is understandable that they would send out the Absolute Sword Immortal to kill a leader like the master of the temple who is at the Tribulation Realm.

But the true strength of Ying III is not necessarily higher than Ji Changsheng's current one.

Even though Emperor Ying had the bonus of a human treasure and the protection of national destiny within the territory of Ying, he was still not strong enough.

The Assassin's League is a professional assassin. Could it be that they are like Yu Linglong, using cannons to kill mosquitoes when carrying out assassinations? Not very realistic.

Therefore, Ji Changsheng didn’t think that it was the Immortal Jue Jian who did it, and he believed that many people would not believe this rumor.

This is not an isolated case.

At this moment, there was indeed another person who expressed deep doubts about Jue Jianxian's assassination of Ying III.

This person was the person who was assassinated. He survived the disaster but was already dying.

Before he completely fainted, Emperor Ying III used up his last bit of strength to hold the prime minister's hand.

Under the gaze of the entire court, his wife, children, and elders, he said something that suddenly changed the color of the rulers and officials of Ying State: "The queen is not allowed to rule the country from behind the curtain!"

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, whoever makes any unusual move will be killed immediately."

"Let Hongye come back and assign her to investigate the assassination of me."

"Prime Minister, if I cannot wake up, the new emperor will be decided by the old ministers of Fire Seed."

After saying these four sentences, Emperor Ying III closed his eyes.

The imperial doctors immediately surrounded Ying III.

The prime minister took a deep breath, looked at the queen whose face had turned ashen and the three princes who looked terrified, and maintained the composure that a prime minister of Ying State should have.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince, you have heard His Majesty's order. Forgive me for offending you, but I ask you four to be careful with your words and actions for the next period of time, and it is best to stay indoors."

The eldest prince seemed to be the least sophisticated and was the first to burst out: "Father, what does this mean?"

The Prime Minister said coldly: "It is obvious that your Majesty suspects that someone else assassinated him."

And the person suspected by Ying III is one of these four people.

There is no conflict of interest between the Ying Kingdom and the Assassin's League, and Ying III and Jue Jianxian have never had any intersection.

The people who really wanted Emperor Ying III to die were naturally the people within the Ying Kingdom.

Of course, Ying State also has many external enemies.

However, it seems very obvious who Ying III is guarding against.

The second prince also spoke slowly: "Prime Minister Li, it is normal for father to have such suspicion, but why did he give the right to investigate to Hongye?"

Li Xiang said bluntly: "At the time of the incident, only Princess Hongye was wandering outside, and she had already said she had given up inheriting the throne and chose to join Xuandu Temple for cultivation. If we were to say who is the most innocent, Princess Hongye is more innocent than any of the old ministers. Let her investigate the truth, and the whole court will be relieved."

The second prince said calmly, "What if Hongye is trying to use this as a pretext to frame us?"

The third prince added, "Hongye has been very close to Ji Changsheng, the young leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, recently. It is said that they travel together and sit together. There are also rumors that the two have a mutual admiration for each other. Fourth sister, I naturally believe it, but the young leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult... must be guarded against. What if this assassination was secretly planned by the Heavenly Demon Cult? Taking this opportunity to infiltrate our Ying Kingdom, or even using the relationship between Ji Changsheng and Hongye to support Hongye to take the throne, is there such a possibility?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The third prince's two words made many ministers think deeply.

The eldest prince, the second prince and the queen also looked at the third prince in surprise.

Li Xiang frowned and said, "Third Prince, there is no need to speculate. The secret law pavilion's assassins have confirmed that Yu Bihai is now in the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters, and his injuries are more serious than your majesty's. This matter has nothing to do with Yu Bihai."

When Prime Minister Li brought up the "Secret Law Pavilion", the Third Prince immediately shut up.

The Secret Law Pavilion is a secret organization established by the Ying State to target the major immortal sects. Its original purpose was to analyze and develop various skills and treasures.

Later, on this basis, the intelligence function was added. After all, some skills and magic tools are the secrets of the major immortal sects, and I need to have a deep understanding of them before I can analyze and transform them for my own use.

Later, the Secret Law Pavilion formed a new team - the Secret Law Enforcement Team, which was composed of the most elite soldiers in the Ying Kingdom’s army and specialized in assassinations and undercover operations.

When Emperor Ying III was assassinated, the Secret Law Pavilion did not receive any news in advance. The Pavilion Master had already been confined to his mansion, and everyone in the Secret Law Pavilion had begun to work at full capacity.

The news coming from the Secret Law Pavilion has not been wrong for a long time.

Since the Secret Law Pavilion said that Yu Lao Mo is now seriously injured, then the "Absolute Sword Immortal" this time cannot be Yu Lao Mo in disguise.

Li Xiang continued, "Fairy Linglong is about to ascend to heaven, and the Heavenly Demon Sect is about to become the largest sect in the world. At this critical moment, Princess Hongye can befriend the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, which will benefit our Ying Kingdom more than it will harm. If Ji Changsheng really wants to come to Ying Kingdom, the government and the people should give him a warm welcome. As for what he says and does, just observe carefully. In our Ying Kingdom, Ji Changsheng can't turn the world upside down. The most urgent task is to call Princess Hongye back and let her preside over the investigation of the assassination of His Majesty. Do you have any objections?"

There was no more objection from the government and the public.

After all, the order was just issued by Emperor Ying III in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. Anyone who dared to disobey the order would be charged with treason.

Only the Empress, the Eldest Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince dared to open their mouths to question, but if they wanted to stop it, they did not have the power to do so until it was confirmed that Emperor Ying III had passed away completely.

Therefore, before Ying Hongye returned to Ying State, he had already received the news from Ying State.

Ying Hongye was a little dazed: "My father has assigned me to investigate his assassination. Changsheng, what does this mean?"

Ji Changsheng carefully read the information that Li Xiang reported to Ying Hongye, especially focusing on the arrangements made by Ying III for the Queen Mother, the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Hongye, our dad doesn't trust anyone around him."

Ying Hongye no longer cared about Ji Changsheng's words. She was still immersed in shock and sadness: "I didn't expect that my father would even be on guard against my mother."

Speaking of which, from the eldest prince to her, the four brothers and sisters are all born of the same mother and are the closest siblings to each other.

On the surface, Ying III was a rare infatuated man in the royal family.

He did not take concubines, had no romantic affairs, had zero scandals, and his love for the queen was unquestionable. This was a legend in the court and the country of Ying.

Of course, this matter is no longer valid for Ji Changsheng since Luo Qingling's identity was confirmed.

After taking a look at Ying Hongye, Ji Changsheng had a guess in his heart: Ying III was so wary of the Queen Mother, could it be that he had an accident outside and was discovered by the Queen Mother?

However, this kind of speculation is not suitable to be communicated with Ying Hongye.

Ji Changsheng and Ying Hongye stepped onto the teleportation array together.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ying Hongye walked out of the teleportation array, and his face turned pale.

The oncoming eerie ghostly aura made Ying Hongye shudder subconsciously, and then he realized where he was: "Santu River? The bank of Huangquan? Xuandu Temple? Changsheng, we went to the wrong place."

“That’s the right way.”

Ji Changsheng took Ying Hongye and went to pay a visit to the master of the temple as soon as possible.

"Master, I have done meritorious services for Xuandu Temple and shed blood for it. I want to see Fairy Linglong."

The master of the temple: “…”

He silently took out a small box.

"Here's what you want. Don't add those lines next time. Keep the way you speak simple."

Ji Changsheng opened the small box.

In the box was a golden pill that smelled fragrant and shone with golden light.

Ying Hongye's face lit up with joy.

Ji Changsheng also felt a little relieved.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master. With the magical medicine from our Xuandu Temple, the life of Ying III should be saved."

"This pill can only sustain life. The internal and external injuries of Ying III require the right medicine." The temple master reminded: "Unless it is the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill made by Master Taiqing himself, the effect will not be so fast. Don't take it lightly."

"Thank you, Master. Hongye will always be grateful to my father and the people of Ying State."

The master nodded slightly: "Hongye, your father's accident this time may not be directed at him. Back then, it seemed that Xuandu Temple and Emperor Ying were on opposite sides, but things are not as simple as they seem."

Ying Hongye nodded: "My father told me that if Fairy Linglong really wants to kill people, Yingguo will not be able to stay."

The master of the temple sighed lightly and revealed a little inside information: "Changsheng, Hongye, you must be vigilant about the future of Yingguo. Yingguo... is an early test of the struggle for the emperor of the prehistoric fairyland."

Ji Changsheng's mind moved: "Experiment?"

The master nodded: "Senior sister has told me that if a Daluo-level being wants to do something but is not absolutely sure, he will often use his great magic power to let the sentient beings in the small world deduce for him. After a long time, Daluo will get an answer. This answer may not satisfy Daluo, and it may not necessarily happen, but it will allow Daluo to have a psychological assessment."

Ji Changsheng almost couldn't keep his expression calm.

If this is the case, then the mythological stories he knows are very likely the deductions of the future by some great master.

The Immortal Emperor of Antarctica?

"In our world, the Ying Kingdom has a powerful person who is deducing for the Human Emperor. If you follow the Ying Kingdom's path, can you become the Human Emperor?"

The master of the temple hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly: "This great man is the great master Xuandu. When the Ying Kingdom started, the biggest supporter was our Xuandu Temple, but it was kept very secret."

Ying Hongye was moved.

This was also the first time that Ji Changsheng knew this inside story.

"The great wizard's deduction failed?" Ji Changsheng asked.

"Yes." The master of the temple said, "Master Xuandu has given up the current route of the Ying Kingdom, and only asked Senior Sister to protect the Ying Kingdom from being destroyed by the immortal gate. It seems to me that the marriage between Senior Sister and the Bai family is also related to this matter. I only got to know the inside story of many things after I became the master of the temple, and I can't see clearly how deep the water is behind the assassination of Ying III this time."

Ji Changsheng digested all this information and said to the master, "Master, give me a list of the people and forces that you and our Xuandu Temple dislike in Ying State."

The master of the temple: "... Changsheng, please don't mess around."

Ji Changsheng explained, "Master, rest assured, I will not do anything rash. Ying III has already given Hongye full authority to investigate his assassination. Hongye, you should also make a list. When we arrive in Yingguo, I will let Yingguo's friends witness the demeanor of Xuandu Temple and Tiansheng Sect's number one detective."
