Chapter 381: Old Grudges
Chapter 381: Old Grudges
As early as when he was trapped in the city gate, His Majesty the Emperor guessed that something had happened in the palace. Several immortals in the West Palace had already been transformed into human form, but they were reluctant to leave the palace. There must be a purpose for them.
But the emperor never expected that he could not even enter the palace when he came back after just sneaking out of the palace. It was ridiculous. He was the supreme ruler of all things. Not to mention that the whole world belonged to the king, who would dare to lock him out of the Forbidden City? Not even gods would dare to do that.
When His Majesty the Emperor returned to the throne room, he could not help but ask a question as the first sentence he uttered.
The two people standing in front of the dragon throne each smiled confidently.
The Imperial Master Yi Dao on the left first said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you know how many years this Immortal Chunyu in front of you has been practicing?"
When the Emperor heard Master Yi Dao say this, a lot of his anger subsided at once, because he couldn't win, his cultivation was not good enough, and he was no longer the high and mighty emperor admired by thousands of people.
Chunyu Lihe pouted and said, "You old man, you said I'm old, but you don't even look at yourself? You can't say anything that people like to hear. Why don't you say that I'm more attractive than you and my skills are higher than yours? If I were you, you should follow my advice, get rid of this stinking skin outside, and come to the Ninth Heaven with me, and fight for three to five years to see who's better."
When the Emperor heard Chunyu Lihe telling Yi Dao to get rid of his stinking skin, he couldn't help but rub his eyes and look up and down at the Imperial Master Yi Dao in front of him again.
He looked left and right before he could make out a clue. This mortal master Yi Dao seemed to have two layers of skin. The inner layer seemed to be coated with golden light, which could not be concealed by the gray mortal body.
The Emperor was horrified. He pointed at Master Yi Dao with a shaking finger and said, "You... you? You are Master Xin Xuan. You are such a monster. You have caused me so much pain."
At this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky outside. Thunder hidden in the clouds flashed and seemed to break through the sky and fall into the hall.
Master Yi Dao looked calm. He raised his hand to brush off the nonexistent dust on his shoulders and said to Chun Yu Li, "Are you leaving or not? If you say you want to leave now, I will give you some time and take all the fairies in the West Palace with you. If you are unmoved and insist on going against me... Anyway, I have killed many great and small fairies in the past, so it doesn't matter if I add a few more fairies who have achieved enlightenment with great difficulty."
Chunyu Lihe narrowed his eyes and looked at Master Yi Dao. His eyes were like lightning and he could see clearly the black evil god Xin Xuan hidden inside the flesh and skin.
Chunyu Lihe did not dare to move a step. He was unwilling to abandon the immortal who had achieved enlightenment after overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers in the West Palace. He was also unwilling to give up the court that represented the country of thousands of people. He was thinking very clearly. As long as the court was given to him, all the living beings in the fertile land outside would be in disaster. He seemed to hear the wailing and screaming of the people.
At this time, the Emperor said to Chunyu Li: "I order you to kill Xin Xuan. I promise you that if you help me kill Xin Xuan, I will have people build a temple for you and enjoy incense for ten thousand years. I will let my people worship you as the first god of the ages and kneel down to worship you every month of the year."
Chunyu Lihe looked at the silly emperor below and smiled coldly.
Xin Xuan, who was sitting opposite him, was laughing even more wildly. He said after he finished laughing, "Your Majesty, are you so anxious to kill me? Don't forget that you who are talking to me now are just a wandering soul who has barely returned to the human world. Have you forgotten how you vowed to achieve enlightenment before you went to Hanlu Mountain? Your Majesty, if this man really kills me, then you will really only have a wisp of soul left, and there will be no possibility of you becoming an immortal and returning to the human world. Can you bear it?"
His Majesty the Emperor hated the liar Xin Xuan so much that he begged Chunyu Lihe to kill Xin Xuan quickly. But after hearing what Xin Xuan said, His Majesty the Emperor was afraid to act rashly. He was eager to return to the human world. As Xin Xuan said, without him, His Majesty the Emperor really had no other way to return to the human world.
Chunyu Lihe looked at the emperor's reluctant and conflicted expression and knew clearly the king's fate. He had fallen into the devil's way and both his soul and body could only be controlled by the devil. It was too late to regret now.
Chunyu Lihe looked at Xin Xuan and said, "Are you really willing to release all the fairies in the West Palace, big and small, including me?"
Xin Xuan nodded and said, "As long as you are willing to leave, I will keep my promise. I will give you some time, and you can all leave."
Chunyu Li said: "Okay! I'll do as you say. I'll go back to the West Palace and gather all my great-grandsons and grandchildren, and leave no one behind to escape from the palace."
Chunyu Lihe flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Chunyu Lihe left, and only Xin Xuan and the Emperor were left in the hall.
His Majesty the Emperor swung his sleeves at Xin Xuan in annoyance and said, "Open the north gate and let me and my secret guards return to the palace."
Xin Xuan, who was hiding in the body of Master Yi Dao, stood still. His expression was unpredictable and in just one or two seconds his expression twisted into three or four strange shapes.
His Majesty the Emperor found something wrong, and he looked in surprise at Master Yi Dao whose body had been taken away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, three souls separated from the body of Master Yi Dao, two men and one woman. The woman jumped out of her body, holding a sword in her hand and chopped down at the emperor's face.
His Majesty the Emperor was unable to dodge and crossed his hands to block the sword. Then he saw the sword blade surrounded by black air cut the Emperor in half. The Emperor, who was cut in half, stared with his eyes on both sides of his body to recognize the woman and blurted out: "Fairy Shiya? It's you?"
He only had time to finish this sentence before he disappeared on the spot.
The other two men who broke free were Master Xin Xuan and Master Yi Dao.
Master Yi Dao looked at Xin Xuan, then at his own soul and the body lying on the ground. He stamped his feet in anxiety, blaming Xin Xuan for destroying his life.
How could Xin Xuan care about Master Yi Dao? He had never thought that the little Fairy Shiya had such a strong grudge. Just because she resented him for not killing the Dog Emperor, she broke through the soul hidden in Yi Dao's body and took the upper hand. The little mortal body could not bear three souls, and the three souls squeezed out of the body together. This was why the crazy woman got ahead of him and split the Dog Emperor's soul with a sword.
Shen Wen in the West Palace looked at the Toad Palace. He returned to his body from his spirit and saw everything that happened in the hall clearly. He sighed. The ancestor Hu Qiyan, who had been guarding beside him, smiled and nodded and praised Shen Wen: "Not bad, I didn't expect that the god really gave you a foundation that even immortals can hardly achieve. He gave you a great fortune."
Shen Wen didn't understand at all, and he didn't bother to ask the question at the moment. He said, "The ghost of Emperor Shizong was split in half. If you don't go up and chop it a few times, he won't be able to return to the little emperor's body to make trouble again."
Hu Qiyan laughed.
Shen Wen became even more anxious and urged, "Are you still in the mood to laugh here?"
Hu Qiyan said: "It's not as simple as you said. The ghost of Emperor Shizong that returned to the little emperor was only one of his seven souls. It's also his fault that he was too obsessed. Even after cultivating to perfection in the immortal mountain, he still couldn't let go of his deep love for him."
Shen Wen said angrily, "For what kind of bullshit immortality, he has so much innocent blood on his hands, and you still say he has achieved great success in cultivation? If someone like him can achieve great success in cultivation, is this fair?"
Hu Qiyan said: "There are good and bad immortals. Good immortals have their own way of cultivation, and bad immortals have their own way of cultivation. From the beginning, he followed Xin Xuan, but he didn't see clearly whether Xin Xuan was good or bad."
At this time, a voice in Shen Wen's ear said: "I have retreated back and led Xin Xuan and Shiya Fairy to fight in the battlefield in the front hall. Why don't you take advantage of this time and enter the illusion?"
Shen Wen immediately recognized the voice as Chunyu Lihe's. The ancestor beside him, Hu Qiyan, grabbed Shen Wen's hand and said, "Come with me to Lingbu Palace."
Shen Wen pulled Hu Qiyan's hand and asked, "Why are we going to Hu Liuli's Lingbu Palace? I won't go. That place is so big that I can get lost if I'm not careful."
Hu Qiyan said: "It's easy this time. I'll be by your side to watch over you and ensure you don't get lost."
As he spoke, Hu Qiyan pulled him hard, and the two of them switched time and space, and in the blink of an eye they were in the main hall of Lingbu Palace.
Looking at the Lingbu Palace, which could be considered an imperial palace, Shen Wen couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He said that every time he came to this palace, what he saw was different from the last time. This palace was even more unpredictable than the magic world described in the West.
Shen Wen turned around and suddenly became frightened because he found that Hu Qiyan, who had just stood beside him, was gone. Shen Wen was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats. My God, Hu Qiyan had just said that he would stay by his side to take care of him, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. What was there for him to do to take care of him?
Shen Wen put his hands to his mouth and shouted like a loud speaker: "Hu Qiyan, where are you? Hu Qiyan..."
He called out twice and thought that no one would respond to him. Then he heard Hu Qiyan's voice, "You don't have to look for me deliberately. Just keep going forward and follow your own path. Remember to think about how to find Xin Xuan's incarnation and how to get rid of him. Miss Shen, do you understand what I mean?"
Who said that the gods and immortals you prayed for by burning incense and kowtowing will protect you and tell you that you are safe? I don’t believe them! When the gods and immortals say they will protect you, it means that they think you are useful. When they use you, they are telling you that there is a pit ahead, and they are deceiving you that the pit is as flat as the ground, so that you can jump without worry.
Facing the strange foggy road ahead, Shen Wen decided that he would call him Hu Qiyan Hu Daming.
Shen Wen calmed himself, closed his eyes, and walked towards the scene like a headless fly.
After walking for a while, Shen Wen felt that the air temperature and even the intensity of sunlight around him had changed, so he opened his eyes and looked.
The moment I opened my eyes, I could not describe the excitement I felt.
He traveled back in time, back to the world of his previous life.
