When Lin Haoming faced Zi Shu Dutong's words, he sneered in his heart, but on the surface he said respectfully: "Of course, Qu Dutong should have something to say, so please say it directly."
"Nie Fengyun, the commander of the Chou Niu Guard, was originally a very powerful figure. He was originally an official in the Ministry of Punishment. Your Majesty admired him, so he was specially transferred to the Heavenly Demon Guard. Your Majesty did this because he hoped that Nie Fengyun could
Help him investigate some things that His Majesty doesn't want others to know." Zishu Dutong said.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he felt a little cold in his heart. The more he didn't want others to know something, the more he knew, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Zishu Dutong seemed to be aware of the changes in Lin Haoming's heart, and continued: "Lin Dutong, there may be problems if others investigate this matter, but your status is different after all, so you should relax, as long as you serve His Majesty wholeheartedly.
, there will be no surprise. In fact, His Majesty is very generous to those who are loyal to him, otherwise it would not be my turn to say these words to Lin Dutong."
"Tong Nie, please speak!" Lin Haoming said seemingly relaxed.
"Let me talk directly about Nie Fengyun. More than a hundred years ago, His Majesty discovered that a group of dead soldiers appeared in the Holy Domain. These dead soldiers were not too high in cultivation. They were all in the stage of Nascent Soul to Divine Transformation. However,
This group of dead soldiers is very special. It seems that the dead soldiers have taken some kind of poison very early. This poison has been latent in the bodies of the dead soldiers for a long time, constantly feeding on the dead soldiers' legal bodies. Once these dead soldiers are needed, then
These dead warriors will regard themselves as deadly weapons, killing the target of assassination mercilessly, and they will all die together. Before Nie Fengyun investigated the matter, several monks in the Void Refining Stage had already died, which made His Majesty very worried.
I feel very troubled because many of these fallen people were key officials of the Eight Ministries."
"Is it a method deployed by other realms?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Your Majesty doesn't know this either, so His Majesty asked Nie Fengyun to investigate the matter. As a clue to the matter, the only thing we know is that several of the dead soldiers have appeared in Anfeng City and Biwei Island. This is
After Nie Fengyun completed half of the investigation, you can first take a look at the things that were presented to His Majesty to see what His Majesty meant. I hope Lin Dutong can investigate this matter clearly." Zishu Dutong placed a jade slip in Lin Haoming's hands.
into his hands, and then said goodbye directly.
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Lin Haoming didn't expect that His Majesty the Demon Emperor would be so impatient and direct. You know, he is an outsider no matter how you look at him. There seems to be something wrong with trusting him so much. But what is the Demon Emperor doing?
What to do, Lin Haoming still has no idea, especially in Lin Haoming's view, with the Demon Emperor's cultivation in the Mahayana stage, it is too easy to deal with his own monks in the Void Refining Stage, and there is no need to use tricks at all, but now he has
I feel like I'm in a whirlpool.
No matter what, Lin Haoming still pressed the jade slip left by Zi Shudutong on his forehead and read it carefully.
The content inside is exactly what Zishu Dutong said. Nie Fengyun started investigating those dead soldiers after receiving the Demon Emperor's order, so he visited Anfeng City and Biwei Island many times.
During the investigation, Nie Fengyun discovered that Prince Jing had appeared in these two places several times, and then the investigation target was placed on Prince Jing.
According to Nie Fengyun's description in the jade slips, he found out that a manor owned by Prince Jing on Biwei Island was probably hiding those dead men, so he submitted this secret report and begged Your Majesty to give him the right to live in Prince Jing.
When the prince entered the manor, he caught him, but of course, the result was that Nie Fengyun, including his adopted daughter Nie Wanying, the other two deputy captains and eight captains in the Void Refining Stage who were directly under his command, all died on Biwei Island."
Seeing this, Lin Haoming already felt a chill on his back.
That King Jing was none other than the half-brother of His Majesty the Demon Emperor. It seems that the two of them also competed for the position of the Demon Emperor back then. As a result, the current Demon Emperor ascended to the throne of God. Although King Jing lost, he was still fighting for it.
After the failure, there was no sound at all, as if all hopes were pinned on cultivation. In this way, more than 10,000 years passed by in one day. If Lin Haoming and Xuanyuan Wenyu were not together, he occasionally heard her mention it.
When her father fought for the position of the Demon Emperor, Lin Haoming didn't know that King Jing, the younger brother of the Demon Emperor, still lived in the imperial capital.
Lin Haoming didn't know whether the Demon King really wanted to attack his younger brother, or whether King Jing felt unwilling to do so, so he was still attached to the throne more than ten thousand years ago, but no matter what, he seemed to be suddenly
Getting involved in this whirlpool is definitely not a good thing for yourself.
Lin Haoming asked himself, after embarking on the path of cultivating immortality, he has always kept a low profile and never actively touched the whirlpool, but now it seems impossible to remain unknown.
"What? Are you in trouble?"
Seeing Xie Ruolan appear in front of him and ask directly, Lin Haoming felt helpless.
Fortunately, the person in front of him was finally someone who could express his inner feelings. Lin Haoming did not hide anything and simply explained the matter.
"If I'm not wrong, His Majesty the Demon Emperor seems to want you to uncover the truth about King Jing. It would be best if you have an excuse to kill King Jing." After hearing this, Xie Ruolan said lukewarmly.
"After King Jing failed to seize the throne, he lived peacefully for more than 10,000 years. The Demon Emperor could have killed him long ago. Why wait until now? Is it because he really discovered that King Jing had done something evil?"
Lin Haoming still couldn't figure it out.
"No matter what, it's obvious that the Demon King now hopes that you can help him, and I think this matter is just a petition?" Xie Ruolan said.
"Why do you think so?" Lin Haoming asked.
"As you said, King Jing has been living under the nose of the current Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor could defeat him back then. Could it be that after achieving the position of Demon Emperor, he gave the other party a chance? And do you think about your position?
What a coincidence, just to deal with King Jing who is under control, I think there is no need to spend so much thought on you." Xie Ruolan thought.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming felt that what Xie Ruolan said was indeed reasonable, but before the truth was revealed, he might have to be a puppet for a while, obediently obeying the Demon King's arrangements.
In the next month, Lin Haoming stayed at home and asked Fang Sumiang and others to take over the direct command as soon as possible, while he himself has been in the archives, browsing some information on Chou Niuwei.
A month later, Lin Haoming completely disappeared from the guardhouse, and he left with only Xie Ruolan Mi Rong. (To be continued.)
