"Do you know how to remove the Soul-Locking Needle?" Murong Zheng exuded a chilling aura.
Jun Linyu paused, as if recalling something, and shook his head. "I don't know, he didn't tell me."
"Do you know where that person is now?"
Jun Linyu shook his head: "He left after giving me the Soul-Locking Needle, and I don't know where he went."
Hear this.
Murong Zheng remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Qingchen. "Should we release him now or continue to control him?"
Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes. If he let him go, he would be able to control Xiao Jiu. If he could keep controlling him, it would be very good for Xiao Jiu.
How long can you control him?
"As long as it is not interrupted by external forces, I can keep it under control."
Murong Zheng thought for a moment and replied that he didn't actually know what kind of magic it was, but it seemed that he was born with this kind of magic and didn't need to learn it. Apart from his father, the emperor, he had never shown it to outsiders. He didn't expect that the first time he used it on Ji Jiuying, and now it was the second time he had used this kind of magic.
"Then let's keep him under control."
"good."
By this time, the sun had fully risen, and in order not to be discovered, the two quietly took Jun Linyu away.
Soon, they appeared at the princess's residence.
However, only the injured Qingling, Wen Longting, and Wen Longxiu were in the mansion; Ji Jiuying and Feng Che were nowhere to be seen.
When Qingling saw the culprit, Jun Linyu, her eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Damn it, you so-called Third Prince, I'll kill you!" As he spoke, the Azure Frost Sword appeared in his hand, completely ignoring his own injuries.
"Qingling, don't act rashly."
Wen Longxiu and Wen Longting quickly pulled her back. At this moment, Ye Qingchen also came over. "Miss Qingling, calm down. He has been brought under control and will not cause any harm to Xiao Jiu for the time being."
Qingling quickly calmed down and remembered what Feng Che had said. Now that her mistress's life was in his hands, no matter how much hatred she felt, she could not use her mistress's life as a price.
He snorted coldly and sheathed his sword.
"Qingling, where did they go?"
Qingling summoned a communication butterfly and after a while said, "They are in a mountain range in the southeast."
"good."
Ye Qingchen and Murong Zheng led Jun Linyu to the location Qingling had indicated.
In the mountains.
Feng Che, Jin Chenzi, and Yu Bugui surrounded Ji Jiuying, and Ji Jiuying, with her jet-black sword, Black Night, mercilessly unleashed a fierce killing move at them.
Despite fighting for a long time, the power within her seemed inexhaustible.
The woman's face was frosty, her eyes were bloodshot, and her blood-red dress was like a datura flower in the night, blooming in full glory, beautiful and alluring yet extremely dangerous.
If you look closely, you will be surprised to find that she vaguely resembles Gong Mingyue.
This earth-shattering war was only brought to an end with the arrival of Ye Qingchen and his companions.
"Jun Linyu, quickly make Xiao Jiu stop."
"Murong Zheng gave the order."
Jun Linyu looked up at the girl in red in the sky and slowly said, "Ji Jiuying, put down your weapon and come down."
Ji Jiuying, enraged, paused in her actions, then slowly put her hands down. In a flash, she appeared in front of Jun Linyu, behaving like a docile doll, as if the person from just moments before was not her.
Feng Che and the others followed closely behind her, looking at Jun Linyu with suspicion, while also noticing that something was wrong with him.
What's going on?
"I controlled him."
The group immediately understood his intention. As long as Jun Linyu was kept under their noses, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, and Xiao Jiu wouldn't be in any danger. Now they could only wait for Bai Lisha to return.
Princess's Residence.
Hei Xiangling was finally freed from the Immortal-Binding Ropes and said resentfully, "You heartless brat."
"It's all that damned Third Prince's fault. He was so vicious, using such underhanded tricks on Xiao Jiu. If it weren't for Xiao Jiu's life, I would have sent him to meet the King of Hell with a single blow."
Wen Longting said viciously. She had never liked the Third Prince before, always feeling that he was too fake and hypocritical. She never expected him to be so despicable and shameless.
"Hmph, I've wanted to do this for a long time. Now I can only wait for Xiaobai to come back and see if there's any way to solve it."
Hei Xiangling said helplessly. Hearing this, the people in the courtyard fell silent, placing their hopes on Bai Lisha.
Yu Bugui frowned, looking restless. "Feng Che, you all stay here and guard this place. I'll go back and investigate the matter of the Soul-Locking Needles."
Feng Che saw what he was thinking and nodded. After Yu Bugui left, Jin Chenzi also stepped forward a few steps, saying, "Lingyin Temple also needs this humble monk to preside over it, so this humble monk will take his leave now."
Feng Che and the others bowed slightly, "Thank you for your trouble, Master."
Jin Chenzi nodded and then withdrew.
Wen Longxiu watched the figure leave, a conflicted look flashing in her eyes, as if she was hesitating whether to go forward, and what she should say if she did.
After hesitating several times, I followed them anyway.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Wen Longting called out to Wen Longxiu, who was about to leave. Wen Longxiu paused, "I have something to discuss with Master Kongchen. Ting'er, you can wait here for me."
The courtyard returned to calm, but Ye Qingchen spoke up, "Second Prince of Western Jin, how did you know who placed the Soul-Locking Needles?"
Feng Che, Hei Xiangling, and Qingling were slightly taken aback, and all their eyes were focused on Murong Zheng.
"Qingchen, what do you mean by this?" Feng Che asked suspiciously. Did the Second Prince of Western Jin know who had placed the Soul-Locking Needle? Or was the person who placed the needle a person from Western Jin?
Ye Qingchen recounted the entire process of their interrogation of Jun Linyu. Feng Che frowned deeply. "Murong Zheng, do you know the person who gave Jun Linyu the Soul-Locking Needle?"
Murong Zheng pursed his lips, as if recalling something. After a while, he parted his thin lips slightly, "I don't know him either. It was this person who came to Western Jin to find my father, saying that there was someone in the northwest who could save me. That person who could save me was Xiao Jiu."
"Why is it Xiao Jiu who can save you?" Feng Che asked in confusion.
Murong Zheng lowered his eyes, hesitating to speak. Hei Xiangling glanced at him and then said, "Because he is a half-demon, he needs human blood to maintain his human form, and drinking Xiao Jiu's blood allows him to change his form on his own."
The group stared wide-eyed. The second prince of Western Jin was actually half-human and half-demon? A look of surprise flashed in Ye Qingchen's eyes. He had seen demons like Xue Ling'er, but he had never heard of half-human and half-demon beings, especially one right beside him.
Feng Che narrowed his eyes. No wonder he felt a strange aura on him when he first met him. Thinking back to Qing Hu in the far north, the barrier of the demon race on the Tianyu Continent had long been isolated by the Heavenly Dao. He did not expect that there would be demons on the Cangming Continent. It seems that the Heavenly Dao can also make mistakes due to dereliction of duty.
