"Your Highness, we met once before from afar. You are too aloof and unwilling to deal with me. However, I also hate you."
Once in Kyoto, he was curious about the man in front of him, and he naturally knew Sheng Mingyu's fate.
If there was anything he was thinking about, the first one would be the elixir of immortality, and the second one would be Sheng Mingyu.
"He should have been destined to be an emperor, a prince. Why was he only given the title of Crown Prince? Do you want to investigate the truth? I can help you."
In the past, he and the imperial teacher had the same wish, which was to protect the royal family.
Sheng Mingyu looked at him with contempt. Did he really think that just a few words could shake his mind?
"How dare you! This prince is recognized by everyone. Don't think that you can make this prince bear the blame by just saying a few words. Who would believe the words of a madman?"
Even if what I said today got to His Majesty's ears, what would happen? Could it cost me my life?
No matter how much Sheng Mingyu looked down on the master in front of him, he was still cautious.
In the past, this person was favored by Your Majesty because he knew everything.
Even if he is crazy, what he says is believable.
"Alright! Stop wasting time here. The evidence is right here. He's the one who killed the person. Take him down now!"
"Yes." Mo Qing was also startled, fortunately he didn't let the guards under His Majesty come over.
Otherwise, if this matter today were to get out, how would the prince refute it? It would be as if the prince coveted the throne.
The master also reacted quickly and tried to break free from the guards.
He didn't mind dying here, but his dream was not yet fulfilled, so he would even be willing to take a look at the elixir before dying.
"I didn't kill these people. If you don't believe me, check the bodies. Although I wanted to refine the elixir of immortality, I didn't take any of their hearts personally. You can't accuse me of this. And why do you think His Majesty didn't kill me in the first place? I never kill anyone myself."
These words made everyone present freeze in place.
The incident in Kyoto caused a lot of turmoil back then, but the man was not executed for a long time. Isn't it because there was no evidence?
This master of the mystical arts could escape punishment, but the common people who were pinned to the ground nearby were dissatisfied.
They killed people, but it was not their will.
They also want to live forever, but the master of the mysterious arts said that if their crimes are exposed, they will not be held responsible.
"No! Your Highness, please understand clearly that we were all deceived by him and killed these prisoners in front of us."
"Yes! He is using mystical arts to control us. You know how powerful mystical arts are. They can even control our consciousness!"
The people were horrified and tried to shirk responsibility.
Sheng Mingyu looked at them and was very disappointed. The incident in Anyuan County happened a long time ago, and it was estimated that their relatives were among the missing people.
But giving up the lives of so many people for one's own selfish desires is simply inhumane!
"Ha! No matter who is at fault, you are all accomplices and must pay the price! Take them all away!"
Sheng Mingyu showed no mercy. The matter was about to be resolved, but the master of Xuanshu who was walking in front was not convinced and continued to resist.
He cast a spell and talismans flew out, instantly rendering the guards unable to move.
"I told you I didn't do these things. You can't arrest me! The elixir is about to be refined, and I have to guard it!"
Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master didn't take these little tricks seriously. Since the guards couldn't do anything, they would do it themselves.
The Imperial Master and Gu Yunni took action together, and the master of the mystical arts in front of them also returned to his composure.
"I've been wanting to compete with you for a long time. I heard you were very powerful in the past. Now that we meet today, let's see who is more powerful!"
Gu Yunni was eager to try, and the national teacher was also alert and ready to take action at any time.
"It's been a while since we've fought each other. Let me see your strength. You can't give up your abilities just for the sake of the elixir."
If it were just some guards, it would be easy for him to deal with them, but facing these two people, he had to be careful.
Whether it was rumors or meeting again, he sensed a dangerous aura from these two people.
Sheng Mingyu separated everyone to make room for them on the battlefield.
A long time passed, and the three of them still couldn't decide the winner. Only countless beams of light rose up.
Talismans were flying all over the sky, and the little ghosts around were trembling with fear and whimpering sounds were heard.
“Wuwuwu…”
When they worked with the Master of Mystic Arts in the past, what they feared most was his talismans.
As time went on, Gu Yunni became more and more irritated.
It's obvious that he and the National Master are very powerful, so why doesn't the person opposite him show any sign of being at a disadvantage?
"Shut up, everyone!"
She suddenly shouted, scaring the surrounding little ghosts into shutting up.
It was also because of this sound that she discovered that her abilities seemed to be a little stronger than before.
The Imperial Master was also startled. He didn't want to admit that he seemed to have felt Gu Yunni's pressure just now.
I have been studying outside for so many years, why am I still not as good as Gu Yunni?
After that, it seemed like a crushing victory. Gu Yunni and the National Master had the upper hand, and the master of the mysterious arts on the opposite side was suppressed to the point that he could not even raise his hands.
At first he was full of confidence, but after he felt the pressure, he gave up.
The master raised his lips to a wry smile. Perhaps it was only when a person was about to die that he would have so many thoughts.
He looked at the Imperial Master and said, "In the past, you and I were evenly matched, and you considered me your enemy. But from now on, your enemy will have to change. This little girl is not what you imagined."
Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master stopped and stopped forcing him.
The master of the mysterious arts sighed as if repenting, "My original intention was to benefit the people, not to harm them. But after reading that book, I became possessed and didn't want to give up. Please kill me. I want to die by your hands."
The national teacher did not give him any face and exposed all his lies.
"When you first read that book, you shared it with me. I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen. How can you blame the book? It's your greed."
If he is wrong, he is wrong. If he admits it, we should respect his honesty. It is disgusting to drag his feet like this.
The master cast his eyes on Gu Yunni. "You're right. We were clearly at the same level before, and I pushed you out of Kyoto, only to be swapped back in the end. Girl, I have something to ask you. Can you answer truthfully?"
Gu Yunni raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
"I want to ask you where on earth did you find out about the elixir of immortality? This book is with me, and I've never shown it to anyone. You were probably still a child when I got it. Did someone tell you about it? I might have ended up like this because of his schemes!"
He was genuinely curious.
His words were filled with hatred, and he always felt that this person had ruined his life.
However, I really want to find out the reason.
Whether it is the national teacher or him, they should be curious, why is he not as capable as a little girl at such an old age?
