In a flash, Wei Su thought of a lot.
The three words he replaced have been exposed, but this does not mean... how much Shen Xingzhu knows.
She still didn't know what these three words meant, so she came to question him.
But at the same time, she must have known that the meaning of these three words was very important and might be of great relevance, and was related to Li Hongling's reluctance to end the final battle outside the city.
After all... anyone with a little bit of caution would feel something was wrong if they thought about Li Hongling's suspicious behavior carefully.
Wei Su couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he had brought Shen Xingzhu into the game in a fit of anger, trying to use her for his own purposes.
If it were someone else, both Li Hongling and he would be more cautious.
But the other party happened to be Shen Xingzhu.
Shen Xingzhu's way of walking in the world is too famous. Anyone who has heard her name will subconsciously feel that as long as their actions do not contradict her way, she will definitely not meddle in other people's affairs.
Even if you touch her bottom line a little, she probably won't care as long as you can make sense and defend yourself.
There was once a very famous example.
It is said that there was a mortal who was originally an ordinary woodcutter at the foot of Lai'an Mountain in Jinyang State, who made a living by chopping wood every day.
Although his family was poor, he had a wife and a pair of children, and they lived happily together. However, accidents happen. The woodcutter went out to chop wood as usual, but when he came back, he found that his wife had died and the house had collapsed into a big hole.
Upon asking, I found out that there were two Moon-Baoyue Realm practitioners fighting nearby. During the fight, one of them was accidentally shot down and happened to fall on the woodcutter's house.
The misfortune of being a fish in a pond is an unexpected disaster.
The woodcutter's temperament changed drastically. He went looking for immortals and asked for the way to seek revenge. As a result, he was noticed by a demon cultivator and was accepted as his disciple.
Three years later, the woodcutter who had reached the Ascending Tower Realm by relying on the magic cultivation method found his former enemy, but discovered that this man had chosen to become a mortal in order to break through the Grandmaster Realm, and he also had a wife and children at home.
The mortals and cultivators of that time have switched places, and the woodcutter is no longer the woodcutter of that time, but a demon cultivator with blood on his hands.
He smashed the man's wife's head with a palm, and cooked his two children in front of him to vent his three years of hatred.
Just as he was about to kill the cultivator, he met Shen Xingzhu.
The cultivators hurriedly called for help, and the demon cultivators did not dare to move.
At this time, his children were still alive. Seeing this, Shen Xingzhu asked, "Have your children ever practiced cultivation?"
The practitioner answered truthfully, "Although I have transformed into a mortal, I cannot bear to see my children suffer from illness, so I teach them the method of refining qi."
Shen Xingzhu said: "When cultivators fight, each one relies on his own ability. I will not help."
So the children died with their eyes open.
The cultivator wailed in despair, but the demon cultivator laughed heartily: "The hatred we had back then has now been resolved. I won't kill you, but I want you to regret it for the rest of your life."
Shen Xingzhu asked again: "Have you ever practiced cultivation?"
The cultivator said, "My mortal body has been transformed, and my cultivation has been completely dissipated."
Shen Xingzhu said: "If you force yourself to transcend the mortal realm and enter the Dao realm, your cultivation will regress to the Ascending Tower Realm, and you will not be able to kill him."
The cultivator suddenly laughed loudly and bumped into the demon cultivator's knife, dying on the spot.
Before the demon cultivator could come to his senses, he heard Shen Xingzhu say:
"You killed a mortal. This is unrighteousness and you should be beheaded."
So, the evil cultivator was killed by Shen Xingzhu.
If someone else were to judge this matter, it would most likely be unclear and they would have no idea who was right or wrong.
But for Shen Xingzhu, it was surprisingly clear.
She doesn't need to know whether others are right or wrong, she only cares about her own gains and losses.
In the end, both of them died, and the cycle of grudges came to an end, which made people feel that this ending was not bad.
Some people also believed that Shen Xingzhu's reminder at that time was intended to encourage the cultivator to commit suicide so that the evil cultivator would make a mistake.
But the decision was made by the cultivator himself, and it probably had nothing to do with Shen Xingzhu...
thus,
Wei Su knew that Shen Xingzhu would never kill anyone easily before he found conclusive evidence.
But this doesn't mean Wei Su won't be afraid.
Shen Xingzhu's aura was too aggressive and strong. He was afraid that Li Hongling had broken the rules and would implicate him.
So he immediately brought out all his background information, even at the cost of revealing some information, in order to get himself out of the situation.
Although he said he was hesitant, he actually had no choice at all.
If Shen Xingzhu wanted to take action, no matter how many backers he had, it would be useless...
Wei Su smiled bitterly and said:
"No, it means... the elixir of immortality."
Shen Xingzhu narrowed his eyes and stared at his expression for a few moments, then retracted the sword in his hand.
"Most mortal emperors are keen on finding the elixir of immortality. Whenever they mention it, it's just wishful thinking. But this time, they actually found it?"
Wei Su nodded cautiously. "That's right. Su Yu once sent people to search all over the Penglai Immortal Sect and even established the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, employing a swindling Taoist priest with a bald head as the Imperial Preceptor, all in order to find an elixir of immortality."
He took a frank attitude and told everything he knew.
"But this elixir of immortality has nothing to do with his actions. It's just a strange story."
Shen Xingzhu glanced at him and said lightly:
"Fellow Daoist, as a cultivator at the Sea-Breaking Realm, you actually believe in the legend of ghosts and foxes?"
Wei Su smiled awkwardly, then said seriously:
"This elixir of immortality came from strange circumstances, and we can't help but believe it."
"Rumor has it that Su Yu was woken up in the middle of the night by a knock on the door. Thinking there was an assassin, he jolted awake to see a figure outside the thick bed curtains."
"He was terrified and begged for mercy, but he heard the other person say, 'Your Majesty, don't panic. I saw that you were sincere, so I came to give you medicine.'"
