Chapter 150 Chapter 150 "Taming the Dead Dog."
The medical immortal of the Divine Doctor Bureau ordered Xingyao to be the one who would burn his karma throughout the country.
After being discovered by Jiu Zhao Shen Ji, he refused to be arrested and committed suicide in the bedroom of San Qing Tian Shen Di.
This incident caused an uproar.
Even though the God Fuxu, who was responsible for the arrest, came forward to testify, all parties were still discussing the matter.
After searching Xingyao's residence in Nanling without success, Jiuzhao thought of her other residence.
She dispatched a team of immortal soldiers to the lower realms, where they located an ancient stilt house nestled deep within the bamboo forests of the Yunsheng Realm. They meticulously examined every detail and corner, leaving no stone unturned. Fortunately, their diligence paid off, and they finally discovered a subtle mechanism behind a medicine cabinet near the window.
After pressing the mechanism, a space similar to the dark room that Lan Qi had created in Lingquan Palace was revealed.
Once a secret is revealed, it can no longer be hidden.
The immortal soldiers recovered numerous medical texts, hidden within the Burning Sea, as well as correspondence with Chongli, the former Northern Territory Divine King. Xingyao's identity as a traitor was completely confirmed. This ironclad evidence, exposed to those who had benefited from the favor and were eager to raise questions, silenced the Three Pure Heavenly Immortals.
Among them, King Qiongying, the head of Nanling, even submitted a petition to apologize, saying that he was negligent and did not realize that Xingyao had evil intentions.
During the meeting, Jiu Zhao specifically pointed out this matter, offering a round of soothing words and even magnanimously forgiving those ministers who had previously been hesitant to believe Xing Yao was a traitor. Thus, the rumors circulating in Sanqing Heaven, previously viewed as a plot to alienate the immortals, were refuted, and Jiu Zhao's reputation among the ministers soared even higher.
Fuxu won the battle and the spies hiding inside were also eliminated.
The difficulties faced by the immortals seemed to have been overcome, and everyone was immersed in the joy that the days ahead would get better and better.
Only Jiu Zhao looked at himself in the mirror in the middle of the night, and felt the crisis worsening when he saw his own red eyes.
Continuing to cover my eyes like this is not a solution after all.
She could only go to court and handle official business as if nothing had happened during the day, while anxiously waiting for news from Fuxu at night.
…
When it came to how to deal with Xingyao's belongings, the supervising immortal officials became worried.
Logically, all the things left behind by those who betrayed the Three Pure Ones should be burned together to prevent any contamination.
However, Xingyao had profound medical skills and had written many medical books over the years. It would be a great pity if they were all destroyed.
Jiu Zhao pondered for a long time.
She still feels resentful about Xingyao's last words before she died.
He ordered people to move all the things into Lihentian, and ordered that after inspection, everything that could be used to treat illnesses and save lives should be kept.
She started by reading the letters between Xingyao and Chongli.
The letters are scattered, few in number, and span a long period of time.
I don’t know whether Xingyao deliberately selected and retained them, or if it was just the way it was, but their conversations all revolved around Zhu Yanlai.
Earlier, Xingyao had issued some diagnoses and instructions regarding the weakness.
Ever since Zhu Yan went down to the mortal world to repair the stairs to heaven, Chong Li has been writing to him many more letters on his own initiative.
After reading them carefully, Jiu Zhao finally understood why Xing Yao said that Zhu Yan's mother was Chong Li's lifelong love.
Unlike the doting and indulgence he showed towards Meng Chu, Chongli in the letters is more like a kind father in the secular sense.
One day on earth is one year in heaven, and one hundred years on earth. He always cares about Zhu Yan.
Between the lines, there are many reminders such as "Please tell my son, don't forget to add or remove clothes whether the weather is cold or warm."
And some of his hopes that Zhu Yan would recover from his illness and have a bright future.
The last two letters finally talked about Meng Chu.
It seems that Xingyao was the first to bring it up.
She wrote: The Nine-Zhao Goddess has cultivated the Phoenix Fire of Nirvana, and I wish Master Yan's illness will be cured soon.
As for Prince Mengchu, while his crippled arms are the result of your and Ye Zun's deception of the Divine Emperor, since the Nirvana Phoenix Fire can cure weakness, reconnecting Prince Mengchu's bones and veins shouldn't be difficult. Would you like to discuss this with the Nine-Zhao Divine Princess?
It was rare for her to think about Chongli's other child.
But Chong Li responded coldly: Forget it, it’s better to have less trouble than more. The success of the plan is imminent, and I don’t want to alert the enemy.
What's more, they are just chess pieces, no need to worry about them.
Just a chess piece.
Don't worry about it.
Even though he disliked Meng Chu, at this moment, Jiu Zhao couldn't help but feel sympathy for his fellow man.
After the Taolin Incident, as a group abandoned by the Northern Territory, Princess Beishen and her relatives were imprisoned in the residence of the Second Clear Heavenly God King. However, Prince Mengchu, who had Chongli blood and was previously very much loved by him, was regarded as a key surveillance target and imprisoned in the Unseen Heavenly Immortal Prison under the jurisdiction of the Supreme God of Punishment.
Jiu Zhao always has a headache about how to deal with them.
Logically, their exclusion from Chongli's plot for a second rebellion seemed perfectly justified. Emotionally, the Northern Goddess Princess and her family had unhesitatingly followed Chongli in their defection to the Burning Sea tens of thousands of years ago, a mistake not entirely without fault—not to mention the personal grudges between Meng Chu and her.
But no matter what, Sanqingtian would never accept the Nine-tailed Fox Clan again.
Now those who remain are alone and weak, and no one will raise any objection even if Jiu Zhao orders to wipe out the entire clan.
After thinking about it for a long time, I hesitated.
Perhaps it was because they had a common experience of being used as pawns by their fathers.
Or perhaps, Sanqingtian is currently short of combat power, so it would be good to have another Golden Immortal join.
Jiu Zhao did not issue an order to massacre, but decided to go to the immortal prison first to see if Meng Chu could still be "utilized".
…
The Bujiantianxian Prison, as the name suggests, means "no sunlight".
It was built at the same time as the prison in Wu Ri Yuan, one was the outer prison and the other was the inner prison.
The outer prison of Wu Ri Yuan holds those evil immortals and ministers who have been sentenced for heinous crimes.
The Heavenly Prison is not visible, but is used to imprison gods who have committed mistakes but have not yet been convicted of crimes.
Jiu Zhao was led by the God of Mount Yi himself. When they moved to the corresponding prison, Meng Chu was lying among the messy and damp withered grass. He was still wearing the dress he wore for the banquet. There was a formation in the inner prison, and his immortal power was restricted. He could not use the cleaning technique. The hem of his dress was dusty, and he was also disheveled.
He was no different from the beggar who begged on the street in Yunsheng's life.
Seeing Jiu Zhao coming, he seemed to have lost all hope. He did not stand up to salute, but turned over and remained silent.
Jiu Zhao was not angry either.
She tried her best to ignore the strong stench that lingered in her nose, and tilted her head to order, "God of Mount Yi, please open the prison door. I want to go in."
Yishan bowed his head in obedience.
There was a click as the mechanism loosened and engaged, and the cell door slowly opened.
Meng Chu remained motionless, not caring at all whether Jiu Zhao came to release him or not.
Jiu Zhao tilted his chin and signaled Yishan to step back first.
Yishan was a little worried: "Your Highness, why not let me stay here to protect your safety?"
Jiu Zhao deliberately provoked him, "Yishan, I think you're worrying too much. He's just a cripple. Even if his arm was intact, he'd still be defeated by me. Now he's lying here like a dead dog. What kind of trouble can he possibly cause?"
These words were so harsh that even Yishan, who usually lacked facial expression, couldn't help but frown.
Jiu Zhao even noticed that Meng Chu, who had been stagnant, suddenly moved.
Although the amplitude was small, it could not withstand the silence of the space, and the rustling sound caused by the drooping clothes and the withered grass seemed extremely harsh.
It seems that he has not given up resistance as completely as he appears to have.
When one's dignity is insulted, one will still react unwillingly to endure it.
That's good.
At least it's worth trying.
After Yishan left the prison, his tall figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Jiu Zhao lifted the hem of her skirt, aimed at the young man lying on the ground and kicked him hard:
"Who are you trying to show off this half-dead look to?
"Hey, do you want to know what you and your mother are in the eyes of your father Chongli?"
