CHAPTER XXXVIII. A Conviction, A Surprise to Heaven and Earth
His face was pale as a sheet, and his forehead was oozing layers of sweat. The blood at the corner of his mouth had yet to dry, and his hands were powerlessly supporting himself on the chair. It was as if he had experienced a fierce battle of equal strength, or as if he was just beginning to recover from a serious illness.
Candle Jiu Yin's breathing could vaguely detect the light footsteps of Jin Si Jin Si. He quickly wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth and did his best to sit upright. He casually picked up a fan and pretended as if nothing had happened. Jin Si walked in with a bowl of broth in his hand. He stared at Zhu Jiuyin and said softly, "Master, you've been feeling the cold recently. Jin Si cooked a bowl of lotus seed silver ear soup to drive away the cold."
After looking at her for a moment, Candle Jiu slowly said, "Oh, you've troubled yourself. Just leave it here."
Jin Si felt a little surprised. Normally, his master would be cold and indifferent towards him. Why was he so polite today? He was not used to it. He smiled and said, "Jin Si should be doing this. Does master have any other orders?"
Candle Jiu Yin only wanted to quickly put aside her thoughts so that she wouldn't see through any flaws after a while. His gaze shifted as he casually said, "The materials for the embroidered clothes haven't been prepared yet, the weather has been good in the recent days. You should go to the Qing Qiu mountain to gather some fresh air."
Xin Jin's face lit up with joy. He felt that the God of Happiness had arrived. He didn't know why his master's attitude had become so good today. He was so excited. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, Jinsi understands. Jinsi will go now." With that, he leisurely left the room with an indescribable joy and excitement.
Once again, Zhu Jiuyin sat paralyzed in his seat, as if he had suddenly exhausted all of his internal energy. His body had suffered some kind of heavy injury, his face kept twitching, and his chest was in extreme pain.
Perhaps what he was experiencing was just a perfect conspiracy in the dark, a shifter in a struggle for power, or a song that would end with a sad song. All of this was a secret he had buried deep in his heart and no one knew.
The most important thing for him to do now was to quickly recover his body so that the Devil Ancestor would not be able to see through any flaws in it. As he thought this, he began to recover his internal energy.
In the Qing Qiu mountain range, the snow had yet to fall and the sun was just beginning to shimmer.
It turned out that the clear air of the beginning of time had attracted her attention. She saw that the misty air was faint and transparent, and she then pulled out a transparent bottle of demon heart from her sleeve. Opening the bottle, she slowly absorbed the airflow into the bottle.
Gu Xueluo, who was standing far away, was pleasantly surprised and curious at the same time. She then asked in a clear voice, "Lady's skills are quite good. May I ask what's the use of collecting all this mist?"
Xin Jinsi was startled by the sudden voice. He turned to look at Gu Xueluo, who was quiet, elegant, and graceful. Seeing that she was also a girl, he suddenly lost his wariness and smiled, "This is not just any normal air. It's called the beginning of snow, beautiful in texture and light in spirit. It's an excellent material for making magic robes."
Upon hearing the word 'demon robe', Gu Xue immediately decided that this person should be from the demon realm, but the intelligent girl in front of her didn't seem like a demon disciple, so she curiously asked: "So lady is from the demon realm, is this fog really that magical? Can she even weave a demon robe?"
"My name is Xin Jin Si, I'm the servant girl of the Demon World's You Leng Palace."
Gu Xueluo noticed a group of bluebirds in the sky glance at them and scattered in all directions. She was startled, this bluebird was originally used to communicate with the twelve pots of four cities in emergency situations. With so many bluebirds flying in all directions, could it be that something happened to Taixuan? Thinking up to here, an ominous premonition flashed through Gu Xueluo's mind. She quickly bid farewell to Jin Si and flew back to Supreme Mystery City.
Something big had happened!
Surviving little deity returning to the Immortal World in the Kunlun Ruins, Li Jiu Huan was enraged. She stood up and said in shock, "What? Even the Supreme Mystery has the guts to brazenly commit a monstrous sin! "
He still could not believe that the fifth Concealed Spirit was the murderer, but the Left Holy Envoy Yang Mingfei had passed away. This was his most beloved and treasured immortal, and he had brought her back to the Immortal Realm from the cliff at the Jade Wall Mountain in the mortal world. He had then carefully groomed her to become a Left Holy Envoy, to help her become an immortal, but now all of his efforts had been for naught.
It was terrifyingly quiet in the Blue Sky Palace, filled with a murderous aura. The fifth hidden spirit knelt on the ground, his body curled up, his hair was in disarray, his head was lowered, his face ashen, his clothes were stained with blood, and he was still holding onto his Green Hidden Sword.
Gu Xueluo rushed to the Spirit Shadow's side and asked with concern, "Hidden Spirit, what's wrong? Why are you so unwell? Can't you stand up and tell Elder Yin anything?" Her words were extremely clever. On one hand, she saved the hidden spirit from both fire and water. On the other hand, she wanted to make the hidden spirit stand up, but the hidden spirit remained unmoving and remained kneeling on the ground.
Yin Baoyun's face was filled with worry as he coldly said, "Ask him yourself. See what good deed he has done!"
"It's him. His demonic nature erupted and he killed many disciples of the Immortal World, Devil Realm, Demon Realm and Supreme Profound Capital. He is truly cruel to the extreme." A low, hoarse voice, filled with fear and restlessness, came from the corner of the hall. Gu Xueluo looked over and saw a heavily injured disciple lying on a mat in the corner. The meridians in the disciple's four limbs were all broken and there were a few wounds on his upper body that were pierced by sword rays.
Of course, he didn't believe that all of this was real. He gazed at the disciple for a long time, and then said, "The person you identified was the Sage Su from Taixuan. I'm afraid that you were captivated by his fear, and what you saw was not real."
The disciple panicked and tried his best to argue, "I'm not the only one who saw it. The survivors from the Demonic World and Immortal World also saw it with their own eyes …" Obviously, this disciple had clearly recounted every single word about the tragedy that had occurred in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest. Although his description was very clear, it still left everyone feeling suspicious. No one believed that a hidden spirit could do such a thing.
Zhao Yu walked up and observed the hidden spirit, analyzing everything that the disciple said. He then said with a frown, "This matter happened so suddenly, how could Junior Brother Hidden Spirit do such a thing for no reason. There must be a conspiracy behind it, as long as someone is sent to investigate carefully, something will definitely be discovered." After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Yin Bao Scrolls, hoping that Yin Bao Scrolls would still be as kind and comforting as they usually were towards disciples.
Gu Xueluo's fingers tightly gripped the hidden spirit's arm, and a soft light flashed in her deep eyes. She looked at him lovingly and softly said, "Hidden Spirit, what's wrong with you? No matter if what he said is true or false, we still believe you."
The hall was deathly silent, so quiet that everyone's auras could be heard. This was a kind of oppressive silence. Everyone was shocked by this fact, as they were able to instantly exterminate the disciples of immortals, immortals, and devils. Furthermore, the Left Holy Envoy of the Immortal Realm Yang Mingfei and the great general of the Devil Realm Dao Sha, this kind of bloody madness was unimaginable. Right now, everyone was worried that the relationship between the Six Realms that they had spent a great deal of effort to maintain, would break down and become enemies with other realms due to this tragedy. Would this become an excuse for the Demon and Demon Realms to start a war? It wouldn't be long before the demon, demon, and immortal realms arrived at their doorstep to interrogate them. At that time, how to properly protect the safety of the hidden spirits, as well as protect the Supreme Mystery Capital and even the entire human world, were all questions to be solved.
Although her mind was in a mess, she still maintained a calm and composed expression. She looked around at the crowd and said: "Elder Yin, everyone in the sect, this matter happened too suddenly, we all believe that the hidden spirit is innocent, at least it could not have been intentional, there must be many unspeakable details hidden within. But this time, many people from all walks of life have died. If these people from all walks of life were to come over to punish them, then for the sake of being in the same sect, we would be able to help the Spirit of Concealment to withstand the pressure, and the spirit of Concealment to be fair and clean. " Saying so, he bowed deeply in courtesy. Everyone present was moved.
Finally, Yin Treasure Scrolls slowly paced back and forth, breaking the suffocating silence. His eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were deep, and his expression was filled with determination. He focused on the fifth spirit, walked forward and helped him up. Then, he stroked his beard and solemnly said, "This time, something fishy happened, but now is not the time for us to quibble. The survivors in the primal chaos have all pointed the culprit to the spirit, not to mention those from other realms. "I estimate that the people from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Realms will soon come to investigate this matter. Right now, the most important thing is to protect the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest's tragic scene and see if we can find any clues."
He saw that the fifth hidden spirit was still standing there with a blank look in his eyes. His thoughts were trying his best to find out how the scene at that time happened and what exactly happened to him at that time. Unfortunately, the memories regarding the tragedy at the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest were completely blank. It was as if the memory had been taken away by someone, or as if someone's mind and mind had been captivated, causing such a tragedy.
Then, his gaze turned to Li Zongyin, and he urgently said, "Zongyin, bring a group of disciples and rush to the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest in Father Shang's Altar, take care of the scene of the tragedy, don't let anyone near!"
Li Zongyin said, "It's Master, I can go right now!"
"Where else can we go?!" Let's end the matter here! " A burst of sharp and heavy sounds came from the sky above the hall, and immediately after, a group of black clothed people descended with a crashing sound that pierced through the air.
He had arrived so quickly, and the demons had not come with good intentions. Not only did he not show any good intentions, he even brought killing intent and hatred towards him. Yan Baoguo thought to himself.
With a face filled with rage, he strode into the hall and shouted, "Ah, it just so happens that everyone is here today. Yin Bao Scroll, look at what your unfilial disciples have done to commit such a heinous crime. I want to see how you explain it this time!" He walked into the hall, with Li Fengxian following behind him.
Yin Mo Chen hurried to welcome him, and said with a smile: "The Devil Ancestor came from afar, and even the Supreme Mystery did not welcome you from afar, disrespectful! "My apologies!"
The sword ruler's eyebrow said sternly, "At a time like this, is there any use for the elder to say such polite words? This time, your Daoist Master Su Wu's fifth hidden spirit has committed such a heinous crime. My beloved Blade Fiend also lost his life to the sword. How pitiful is it for the Demon and Demon Realms to have so many loyal souls buried in the Bone Burying Bamboo Forest …" His eyes were sparkling and translucent. It seemed that he was really grieving for Ye Xiao.
With a resolute expression, he slowly said, "Devil Ancestor, please calm your anger. We, the Tai Xuan, are indeed in the wrong for this, but this matter is still very doubtful. I have already sent people to investigate it at the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest."
Swordruler frowned and replied with a question, "Do we still need to expend a lot of effort to investigate this ironclad truth? The elder is stalling for time. This time, all of your Supreme Profound practitioners must take responsibility, and must give the Demon Demon World an explanation in order to console those loyal souls who have died grievances. "
Ning An saw that the situation was tense, so he said, "This time, it involves the Immortal, Demon, and Devil Realms, so the Immortal World hasn't arrived yet. We might as well discuss this after the Immortal World arrives."
"There's no need to wait any longer, we're already here!" A wave of anxious and distant voices drifted over, as Li Jiuhuan led the deities and swiftly descended.
"Hearing that something big has happened in the Qing Qiu mountain, Elder Yin didn't say anything, but our Spiritual World still came." Accompanying the ethereal voice was the leader of the Spiritual World, Mu Lengqing, and a large group of people from outside the hall.
In the blink of an eye, the six realms had arrived. They had an aggressive air about them, as if they wanted to suppress their master.
The death of Dao Sha had helped him out greatly, allowing him to use Dao Sha and the deaths of all the Demon Apostles to pressure Tai Xuan. Since he could not easily let Tai Xuan Capital go, and wanted to use the dead to deal a heavy blow to Tai Xuan City, he loudly said, "Today, the six realms have gathered together. Shang father, the loyal disciples of Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest Immortal, Demons and Demons have encountered the annihilation of the fifth secret spirit. The truth is very clear, Tai Xuan City must give a fair explanation!"
Li Jiu Huan slowly walked forward with an expression full of sadness: "The tragedy of the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest is already in front of us. Elder Yin, what exactly happened here, can you give everyone an explanation?"
Yin Bao's green beard hung down, and his eyes reflected an inviolable majesty. Beneath his tall and strong body was an unyielding toughness, as if he wanted to receive a blow from all sides. This was the demeanor that a Supreme Profound Elder should have. He cupped his fists together and said loudly: "Everyone, this tragedy occurred in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest in Father Shang's altar. Everyone has designated the perpetrator as the fifth hidden spirit, but I believe that all of you understand that there must be a reason behind it. Can you allow me, the Supreme Mystery, to give you all a satisfactory explanation after finding out the truth? "
As the only outsider in the hall, the leader of the Spirit Realm, Mu Lengqing, had a more rational understanding of the tragedy in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest. She also did not believe that the fifth Hidden Spirit was the murderer, and it also meant that there must be a reason why the Supreme Mystery was placed against the fifth hidden spirit in the crowd. Thus, she turned her gaze towards the fifth hidden spirit in the crowd and said in a clear voice, "This tragedy truly makes one's heart ache.
Everyone's gaze was like sharp blades as they all shot towards the fifth hidden spirit with hatred, viciousness, suspicion, and ridicule. He slowly walked forward from the crowd with a face as heavy as iron. In that vortex of black mist, there was a pair of hands that were locked in combat with my sword … My soul felt like it was being sucked, and then it felt like I was under a spell... "I can't remember what I did at all …"
"Nonsense! What kind of explanation is this? I see that you have nothing to argue about, so you should just use it to confuse us! " Li Fengshu finally spoke, and the moment he opened his mouth, he became overbearing.
Yin Bao Scroll shot towards Li Fengxian with an angry look, her sharp eyes seemed to hide a sword light, forcing Li Fengxian to be unable to look straight at her, and her aura weakened by quite a bit.
