Chapter 81: After investigation by Elder Ji, His Majesty committed suicide out of fear of punishment
Ji Changsheng has always believed that reforms must make others bleed first.
So he took action against the Emperor of Sheng without hesitation.
If the Emperor of Sheng shed blood first, many people’s blood would be spared later.
Ji Changsheng's movements were too fast.
It was so fast that Cao Ziming didn't even react.
"Junior Brother Ji, you..."
Cao Ziming smiled bitterly: "Can't you give my brother a chance to perform?"
He swore to heaven that he was absolutely prepared to take on the consequences for Junior Brother Ji.
I was just a little slow.
It’s not his fault.
Over the past few decades, Cao Ziming received orthodox education in Danqing Pavilion.
Even though he had followed Ji Changsheng for two days and his thoughts had changed, he was not able to adapt to Ji Changsheng's pace so quickly.
Asking him to kill an ordinary emperor without teaching him was a challenge to Cao Ziming's outlook on life over the past few decades.
For a Danqing Pavilion disciple who cultivates righteousness, such a thing is not as easy as imagined.
The fact that Cao Ziming could draw his sword showed that he had taken a big step forward.
But asking Cao Ziming to kill people as unscrupulously as Ji Changsheng... Cao Ziming really couldn't do it.
So when Cao Ziming saw that it was still Ji Changsheng who took the first step, he felt guilty.
"Junior Brother Ji, you don't want me to bear the consequences. I understand."
Cao Ziming felt his heart was enveloped by a huge warm current.
He was thinking about Junior Brother Ji, and Junior Brother Ji also had him in his heart.
This is probably what true love means in exchange for true love.
Good people also hope to be treated kindly by others, and Cao Ziming is no exception.
That's why he was even more moved.
The better a person is, the easier it is for him to remember the kindness others have shown him.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Ji. No matter what kind of punishment you face in the future, I will face it together with you. I promise you that I will never let Junior Brother Ji get into trouble before me!" Cao Ziming solemnly promised.
Ji Changsheng smiled and shook his head: "Brother Cao, don't imitate the scumbag and make promises all the time in the future."
Cao Ziming was anxious: "Junior Brother Ji, I am serious."
God have mercy on him. He has only been practicing cultivation throughout his life and didn’t even have the chance to be a scumbag.
"I know you're serious, but your promise is still that of a scumbag." Ji Changsheng complained, "Let me give you an example. Fairy Linglong wants to kill me. How can you guarantee that I won't get into trouble before you? Fairy Linglong uses a spell to freeze you, and you can't even move. How can you protect me?"
Cao Ziming's face flushed, but he was speechless.
In this world where one can practice, there is indeed nothing absolute.
Committing suicide isn't that easy.
"So, senior brother, remember in the future as a man, don't make promises, especially don't make promises to women. A promise made is a debt owed, and it is easy to delay others." Ji Changsheng kindly reminded.
This is a kind reminder from him, as a good man, to another good man.
"Besides, killing a demon from the Demon Cult is no big deal, and there is no cause and effect involved."
Ji Changsheng sent a message to the queen calmly.
At this time, the royal servants finally reacted.
Of course, the Palace is guarded by experts.
However, the Immortal Sect Convention is there, and it has been nearly a hundred years since a cultivator dared to kill the emperor.
Ji Changsheng and Cao Ziming were introduced by the empress and openly presented their visiting cards to request an audience with the emperor.
How could the royal family's worshippers have thought that Ji Changsheng would start fighting as soon as he said so? Even if Yu Lao Mo came today, he would not violate the immortal sect convention that Linglong Fairy had signed and sealed.
So the masters of the palace were also confused.
Only now did they realize what had happened.
So a Jindan guest official who was sent by the president of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce to protect the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom went crazy.
Looking at the emperor of Sheng State whose body was torn apart and whose eyes were open, Yan Yougen's scalp tingled and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Ji Changsheng, did you kill His Majesty?"
As a guest official of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, Yan Yougen had been instructed in person by the president of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of his being sent to Sheng State was to protect the emperor.
Now the person being protected is dead.
What should he do? "How dare you?"
Yan Yougen didn’t understand.
He also wants to kill someone now.
"You have openly violated the immortal sect's covenant. Anyone in the cultivation world can kill you. Take your life."
After confirming that the emperor was dead and could not be saved even by the president himself, Yan Yougen lost all his mind and rushed towards Ji Changsheng with a knife in hand.
There was no need for Ji Changsheng to take action. Cao Ziming snorted coldly, took a step forward, and stood directly in front of Ji Changsheng.
The mighty sword energy in his hand burst out, and drew a line three feet in front of him and Ji Changsheng:
"Trespassers will die!"
How dare you touch Junior Brother Ji in front of me?
Do you think I'm dead?
Cao Ziming felt very guilty for not being able to get the Emperor of Sheng's head just now.
This group of royal servants actually dared to surround and kill Ji Changsheng in front of him.
Can't tolerate it.
"Junior Brother Ji, please wait for a moment, I will deal with them."
Ji Changsheng looked at the increasing number of royal priests around him, and he was still in the mood to complain: "Brother Cao, I just told you not to make promises to scumbags easily. Are you sure you can deal with these priests by yourself?"
Cao Ziming's face turned red again.
"This... How can Sheng Country have so many golden elixirs? Ordinary mortal countries simply don't have this kind of strength."
Although he had also advanced to the peak of the Golden Core stage, when he looked around, he saw at least ten Golden Core masters.
Yan Yougen has the same peak Jindan cultivation level as him.
Cao Ziming, who had just made a big boast, felt humiliated at this moment.
I was careless.
It seemed that he was unable to protect Junior Brother Ji and he himself might even capsize in the gutter.
Ji Changsheng was not surprised that the Sheng Kingdom royal family had such hidden power.
Since the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is behind the Sheng Kingdom's royal family, they may lack high-end power, but they can pile up a lot of low-end cannon fodder with money and resources.
In addition, since he was sent to Sheng Country, many sects naturally sent out their hidden troops.
The strength of the Sheng Kingdom royal family is naturally stronger than it appears on the surface.
But Ji Changsheng was not worried.
When it comes to background, I, the Great Emperor of Antarctica, have never been afraid of anyone.
"Brother Cao, please stop this aggressive swordsman."
Ji Changsheng didn't know Yan Yougen, but he could feel the other party's undisguised murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ziming didn't say anything and rushed towards Yan Yougen to kill him.
He also sensed that Yan Yougen was the strongest among those present and had the strongest desire to kill Ji Changsheng.
“As for the others…are you sure you want to take action against Ji?”
Although he was surrounded by enemies, Ji Changsheng remained calm and composed. With just two sentences, he put pressure on the surrounding priests: "I am an inner sect disciple of Xuandu Temple. My senior sister is the leader of the Yaoguang lineage of the Eight Veins of Xuandu. What? A disciple of Xuandu Temple, don't you even have the power to kill the demons of the Demon Cult?" When a priest who had met Ji Changsheng last time because of the incident with the princess heard Ji Changsheng say this, he blurted out, "Your Majesty is also a demon of the Demon Cult?"
Ji Changsheng said with satisfaction: "This gentleman has a keen eye and can see through everything."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
The worshipper who had just spoken almost burst into tears.
He just talks too fast.
There is no intention to say that the Emperor of Sheng is a demon or a monster.
"Elder Ji, I'm just wondering - are there so many demons in Sheng Country?"
The words of this worshipper resonated with many worshippers around him.
To be honest, when Ji Changsheng and Yi Jianxian each had their own opinions, most of the royal servants actually supported Ji Changsheng.
At least 70% of the royal family members believed that Ji Changsheng was wrongly accused by Yi Jianxian, and that the eldest princess must be an undercover agent of the Demonic Cult.
But now, after the crown prince and the eldest princess, the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom has also turned into a demon cult monster.
It was difficult for the royal servants not to side with Immortal Yijian.
It seems... Ji Changsheng is not quite the same as the eloquent person they imagined.
With the silent encouragement from the people around him, the priest who had just spoken spoke again boldly: "Is there any evidence to prove that Your Majesty is also a demon from the Demon Cult?"
Ji Changsheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, the Emperor of Sheng, whose body was torn apart while lying on the ground, changed.
He turned into an evil ghost who wanted to devour anyone.
He was being suppressed in Ji Changsheng's palm, unable to break free.
But it seems that as long as Ji Changsheng lets go of control, the evil ghost incarnated by the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom will be able to drag everyone into endless hell.
At the same time, everyone seemed to no longer be in the Yangxin Palace of the Sheng Kingdom Palace.
Instead, he came to the eighteen levels of hell.
There are mountains of swords and seas of fire all around, and ghosts everywhere.
Countless underworld officials walk around, the god of death demands lives, and evil spirits take souls away.
Everyone felt the coldness from the bottom of their hearts.
Snap! Ji Changsheng snapped his fingers again.
Everyone returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ji Changsheng looked around and saw that three-quarters of the people had pale faces. Even those who did not have any obvious abnormalities still had fear in their eyes and pupils.
He also refreshed his understanding of Yaoguang Luohuan's mental method.
Li Changxi said that his current illusion skills cannot kill people.
Facts have proved that Li Changxi's vision is still too narrow.
Who says you can’t kill someone without a gun?
And Yaoguang Luohuan... is simply a miracle of group attack.
Whether playing as a support or in a group fight, as long as you grasp the opportunity well, you can definitely become a god.
"Now everyone believes it, right? The emperor is really a demon from the evil cult." Ji Changsheng said with a smile.
A few worshippers believed it.
Most of the worshippers... looked at Ji Changsheng in awe, not daring to disbelieve.
At this moment, many smart people finally remembered Ji Changsheng's background.
Ji Changsheng himself also introduced it.
The eight meridians of Xuandu, the illusory Yaoguang Luo.
It is said that he is the last among the Eight Meridians of Xuandu.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But if Ji Changsheng had just performed the magic of the Yaoguang lineage, this group of casual cultivators and worshippers would only be in awe of the power of the Xuandu Temple.
How could such an attainment in illusion only rank last among the eight meridians of Xuandu Temple? How powerful is Xuandu Temple?
And...will Xuandu Temple protect Ji Changsheng?
The eunuchs who served the royal family were not bound to the honor and disgrace of the royal family. They were essentially contract workers.
The priests sacrificed their freedom to work for the royal family and earned spirit stones and other spiritual resources from the royal family.
Since ancient times, few workers are willing to work hard for capitalists.
The worshippers certainly don't want to either.
Only a guest of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce like Yan Yougen would try his best to avenge the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, otherwise he would not be able to give an explanation to the President of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that most of the royal servants had believed in his innocence, Ji Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.
The effect of exchanging sincerity for sincerity is still very good.
Now it seems that only the swordsman is still fighting for the evil cult monster Emperor Sheng.
"Who is that person?" Ji Changsheng asked.
It was still the same worshiper who answered: "Elder Yan, he is different from us casual cultivators. He is a Jindan guest official of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
Ji Changsheng understood.
No wonder this guy felt as if his father had died when he saw the Emperor of Sheng die.
He should be the bodyguard arranged by Tongtian Chamber of Commerce for the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom.
Now that the person we were supposed to protect is dead, according to the rules of the underworld, bodyguards are usually buried with him.
"This guy named Yan is a guest of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. The best expert of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is Yi Jianxian. Yi Jianxian has been confirmed to be in collusion with the wife of the leader of the Tianmo Cult, so Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has now turned to the camp of the Demon Cult. Obviously, this guy named Yan is also a demon of the Demon Cult. I think the reason why the Sheng Kingdom royal family can be lurked so deeply by the demon of the Demon Cult is because of this guy."
Ji Changsheng believed that his analysis was well-founded and convincing.
The worshippers around were stunned.
What made them even more stunned was yet to come.
"Since he is a demon from the Demon Sect, there is no need to follow the rules of the martial arts world. The correct thing to do is to kill him quickly. Demon, die!"
Ji Changsheng raised his knife.
The strange phenomenon of a sea of blood spread instantly.
Boom! The huge waves washed away the sand, and the waves crashed against the shore. Yan Yougen was directly covered by the sea of blood.
Before Yan Yougen could react, half of his blood and energy was drained away by the Sad Demon Sword in an instant.
"Who is it?"
Yan Yougen drew his sword and cut the sea, trying to soar into the sky and break free from the sea of blood.
At this moment, Yan Yougen, who had just escaped from the sea of blood, stiffened and his eyes lost focus.
Just one thousandth of a second.
A chewing sound came from the Wanhun Banner in Ji Changsheng's hand.
It was not until this moment that Ji Changsheng's smiling invitation reached Yan Yougen's mind:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I am honored to meet you. Please enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and choose a blessed place to live. I guarantee that you will not need to make monthly payments and will have permanent property rights. Even after your death, the property rights will not be nationalized."
"ah!"
Yan Yougen held his head with both hands and let out a scream in mid-air.
Then he was beheaded by Cao Ziming with a sword.
But Cao Ziming didn't react at all.
"Why did this guy suddenly lose body response?" Cao Ziming scratched his head.
Ji Changsheng thought for a moment and analyzed: "The magic cult's skills are strange and unpredictable, and there are many troubles. I guess Yan's magic cult skills were not practiced to the fullest, so there was a problem at the critical moment of life and death battle."
Cao Ziming suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
The worshippers looked at each other in bewilderment.
I really want to complain about something.
But the last word was not uttered.
Because... Ji Changsheng didn't use any illusion just now.
He tested his true strength.
Of course, it’s mainly about the strength of the magic cult’s techniques.
Blood Knife attacks head-on.
The side of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was terrifying.
Under the combination of physical attack and mental attack, Yan Yougen, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, was caught off guard and fell directly into Ji Changsheng's fighting rhythm.
Then he was beheaded from behind by Cao Ziming with a sword.
It was a miserable death.
But it’s not unfair.
Ji Changsheng confirmed his true strength at the moment. He can be a god in supporting role, and he should be able to handle damage and deal with cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
However, the man surnamed Yan is only a guest of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. His peak Jindan strength may not be the same as that of Cao Ziming, who was trained in Danqing Pavilion. Therefore, you must be extra careful when you meet a peak Jindan cultivator in the future.
If you can fight in a group, try not to fight alone.
If you can play as a support, try not to take on the damage.
After getting rid of Yan Yougen, Ji Changsheng turned his attention to other priests.
"This guy named Yan just had a sea of blood on his body, and there were even faint traces of the use of the Hundred Souls Banner. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. He should be able to serve as a witness for Ji, right?"
Cao Ziming was the first to respond to Ji Changsheng's call: "Yes, I saw it. It seems that the collusion between Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and the Demon Cult is deeper than I thought."
This time, Senior Brother Cao really didn't intend to help the evil.
Because he really saw it.
But his perspective was distorted.
The worshippers saw clearly that both the blood sea phenomenon and the "Hundred Souls Banner" were created by Ji Changsheng.
But in Cao Ziming's heart, Junior Brother Ji is a righteous man with a pure heart.
These strange visions of the magic arts must have been created by Yan Yougen, but Junior Brother Ji was accidentally involved in them.
The disciples of Xuandu Temple and Danqing Pavilion both called a horse a zebra and confused right and wrong in front of them, and the priests were speechless.
The only way to express your protest is through silence.
Just at this moment, the queen arrived late.
"What happened here?"
When the Queen arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she was horrified when she saw her husband who was already dead and his strongest bodyguard.
"What happened to your majesty?"
Seeing the Queen appear, many of the royal servants were certain.
After all, they took money from the Sheng royal family, so they still had a certain sense of belonging to the Sheng royal family.
Now that the emperor is dead, the queen must seek justice for her man.
This is a natural thought.
So they quickly reported the matter to the queen.
After hearing the report from the servants, the queen became even more frightened.
"Is that so?"
The queen looked at Ji Changsheng.
"Elder Ji, do you mean that His Majesty is also a demon from the Demon Cult?"
Ji Changsheng nodded.
Although he was not afraid of things like the Immortal Gate Convention, and did not mind letting others know that he was the one who killed the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom, this only allowed others to think so in their hearts.
On the surface, I, Ji, only kill evil cult monsters.
Even if the king of heaven comes, I will kill the evil cult monsters.
As a disciple of the righteous path, Ji Changsheng has always been clear about one thing: the righteous path is to pretend to be righteous on the surface.
I know you know, and you know I know you know, but I still have to pretend.
This is the basic operation of people on the right path.
The queen's face turned pale, she was completely frightened by the situation.
"I am a woman of humble origins, ignorant and uninformed, and I don't know a lot of things. Elder Ji, do you have evidence to prove that His Majesty is a demon from the Demon Cult?"
Ji Changsheng continued to nod: "Of course, your majesty, don't worry. Ji has always been a man of evidence when doing things."
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief: "So it was really Elder Ji who killed His Majesty?"
Ji Changsheng shook his head: "My Lady, I didn't kill His Majesty. Who saw me kill His Majesty?"
The queen looked at the servants.
The worshippers looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't really see Ji Changsheng take action with their own eyes.
The queen asked cautiously, "Then how did His Majesty die?"
Ji Changsheng thought for a moment, took a look at the Emperor of Sheng, whose body was torn apart and whose eyes were still open, and analyzed seriously: "The dog emperor committed suicide out of shame after I discovered his identity as a demon from the Demon Cult!"
