Chapter 1220 Are you starting to tease me now?
"That involves the person who cooperated with him." Ye Linglong said: "Remember that before the Eastern Ghost Emperor died, he said that if his affairs were exposed, the Immortal Realm would not let him go."
"So, the person who cooperates with him is an immortal?!" Shen Lixian exclaimed.
"But why would the immortals do such a thing?" Mu Xiaoran didn't understand.
"The immortals may not do such a thing, but what if that person ascended to the immortal world from Qingxuan Sect?"
After Ye Linglong said this, everything suddenly became clear.
Originally, there were people within the Qingxuan Sect who had planned a whole big conspiracy. The Qingxuan Sect was once the number one sect in the world of immortal cultivation, and it was normal for someone in the sect to ascend to heaven.
Once he ascended, he changed from a human to an immortal.
Although his identity has changed, the plans in his heart may not have changed!
"I don't know how the person behind this plan convinced the Eastern Ghost Emperor, but he must have promised him some benefits. Maybe..."
Ye Linglong suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"Perhaps what the Eastern Ghost Emperor wants is not the promotion of the entire underworld, but the promise of the immortals to guarantee his own promotion, that's all!"
If that's the case, it makes perfect sense.
The life and death of others has nothing to do with him. As long as he does his best, he will have the opportunity to ascend.
Negotiating with the immortals, attracting the attention of the immortal world, those are all pretenses!
He was simply doing things for others in order to gain an opportunity to ascend.
It is so difficult to change the situation of the entire underworld, but it is much easier to use some means to let him ascend!
These things happened one after another, and now that no one was disturbing them, Ye Linglong and the other two finally had a chance to talk, and they were able to sort out the things bit by bit.
"This Eastern Ghost Emperor is selfish and mean, but he is really not smart. The Dark Emperor must have seen all of his plans, and he is also waiting for such an opportunity. Instead of negotiating with the Immortals, he should just get rid of the golden sword and quickly break through and ascend before the Immortals find out.
When the time comes, we will be pushed out as scapegoats. Even if he pretends to be innocent, the immortals will not be able to force him to regress in cultivation, so they will probably just have to accept it.
It was also selfish, but the Dark Emperor's method was undoubtedly much less risky, and even if it failed, nothing would happen. It was unlike the Eastern Ghost Emperor who was madly testing the waters on the edge of death.
What an old fox, he never showed any anger until he forced us into the Golden Sword. "
After the three of them analyzed the situation, they couldn't help but sigh at how cunning the Hades was.
"Junior sister, you didn't quarrel with the Dark Emperor. You thought that since you were going to go in anyway, you might as well grab some magic weapons. And since you greedily asked for three, he would be more confident in you, right?"
"This is indeed the style of my junior sister. She'll take whatever she can. We're not good people anyway." Mu Xiaoran sneered.
"There is a suppression inside the golden sword, and we can't use the star disk, so, there is only one way to break the deadlock."
Ye Linglong spread his hands.
"Just seize the time and use this immortal energy to cultivate, so that one day you can have enough ability to defeat the eight tribulations outside and successfully break out."
This is indeed the most direct, but also the most helpless method.
They have to deal with the eight tribulations outside, and they have to finish dealing with them and escape before the Hades, who has surpassed the tribulation, receives the news and rushes over. It is absolutely impossible for them to do so with their current strength.
Apart from improving yourself, there seems to be no other fancy way.
Using physical strength to carve out a bloody path is the most direct, but also the most exhausting.
Because they don't know how many years they will stay here in the future.
Even if we waste time here, we can't attract a heavenly calamity.
Seeing the two brothers looking so miserable, Ye Linglong said, "Don't be so depressed. The Golden Sword is full of immortal energy. It is a great environment for cultivation. As long as we work hard and roll up the sky, the earth and the air, I believe that in the near future, even if we cannot break through, our strength will be improved!"
As Ye Linglong spoke, he walked towards the golden sword, but he couldn't go any further after walking for long.
The concentration of the spiritual energy inside has exceeded the range that their level of cultivation can accept. If they go in any further, they will not be able to bear it.
So, Ye Linglong sat down at the shallowest position on the outermost edge of the golden sword. After sitting down, she took out a desk from her ring, as well as many envelopes and papers.
Shen Lixian and Mu Xiaoran recognized at a glance that these things all came from the study of the Eastern Ghost Emperor.
"Originally he said he had kept the evidence, so I wanted to try to find out who the culprit was. But the Hades Emperor was holding on tightly and didn't give us any chances. I could only try to look through the Eastern Ghost Emperor's things to see if there were any clues."
As Ye Linglong spoke, he began to study the desk with the self-destruct mechanism installed.
"Junior sister, you just said that we should see if we can find out who is the culprit." Shen Lixian raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you think that this person may not be our master?"
Ye Linglong raised his head.
"I don't know. But the information I got from Fifth Brother is that someone is secretly helping us. I'm thinking that Master might be the culprit, but is it possible that he is the one helping us?"
Mu Xiaoran took out the drawing of the world-destroying three-eyed evil ghost.
"But looking at the handwriting, it seems to be different from Master's handwriting."
"Fifth Senior Brother, have you ever seen Master's handwriting?"
"I've seen him once." Mu Xiaoran recalled.
"When he first brought me back to Qingxuan Sect, I went to his mountain to look for him. He was not there at the time, and the door of his study was open. I went in and saw a piece of letter on his desk. I didn't read the specific content, but I scanned it and roughly knew the handwriting. It was different from the one now."
"But you haven't seen him write it with your own eyes. Couldn't the letter on his desk be written by someone else?" Ye Linglong asked this question, and Mu Xiaoran couldn't find any words to refute it.
But in their impression, apart from quarreling with the neighboring sect over trivial matters, the master seemed to always be a loner and had no interactions with anyone.
"Second Brother, have you ever seen Master's handwriting?"
"No." Shen Lixian was very sure: "After I was picked up, I was handed over to the eldest senior brother and eldest senior sister. I almost forgot what he looked like. How could I have the chance to see his handwriting?"
Hearing this, Ye Linglong couldn't help but chuckle.
"Fortunately, I have a good memory. Why don't I draw a portrait of our master for you, and you can keep it as a treasure."
?
"I'm afraid that you've been looking for a master all your life, but one day he passes by you and you don't even recognize him."
!
Ye Linglong drew as he spoke, very quickly, and an outline was drawn in no time.
"Take this prescription and read it three times a day for ten seconds each time. It is specially designed to cure poor memory. It is guaranteed to cure the disease."
…
Shen Lixian twitched his lips, but before he could say anything, Mu Xiaoran couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Little Junior Sister, the years are long, are you starting to tease Second Senior Brother now?"
