The Palace of the Great Xia, the ‘Divine Temple of the Earth’. On days when there was no major court meeting, if something important happened, the Xia king would usually gather his ministers here to discuss national policies.
Today, the atmosphere in the Earth God Temple is extremely depressing. Two storms are brewing, and the eye of the storm comes from Lu Gui and Xia Jie.
It was Lu Gui who was walking rapidly back and forth in front of the throne. Wisps of lightning shot out dozens of feet away. The lightning gathered into a squirming vortex, causing large amounts of water vapor to form dark clouds in the palace. He roared crazily and cursed loudly.
, pointing to the sky and the earth, loudly cursing at the several important ministers kneeling below, and greeting their families. In his rage, Lu Gui was like a violent hurricane, and the thunder and dark clouds rushing outside him seemed to tear him apart.
Everything. From time to time, thin bolts of lightning roared out, hitting in front of those courtiers, smashing the floor tiles into pieces.
Xia Jie had a gloomy face, folded his hands on his chest, and sat cross-legged in front of a pillar near the palace door. His waist was straight, and the back of his head hit the stone pillar behind him at a constant frequency, and the hall followed him
The impact slowly trembled, making a "buzzing" sound. Bai Ze, who also had a gloomy face, squatted beside Xia Jie, with a pair of green-red eyes with a bit of Pixiu's unique ferocity, and glanced at those few from time to time.
The famous minister's plump and straight buttocks, a pair of sharp claws on his paws, gave off a cold light.
Lu Gui had reason to be angry. He thought he had successfully mediated the conflict between Xia Jie and Xiang Liu's family.
, this is a symbol that his royal power has gained some stability - because of the powerful backers behind Xia Jie, Xia Jie's respectful attitude towards Lu Gui represents the attitude of some people towards him. There is no doubt that these
The respect and kindness shown to Lu Gui through Xia Jie are extremely important to Lu Gui.
However, Xia Jie, his most important lieutenant, who had just expressed his obedience and respect to Lu Gui, gave the royal power that Lu Gui represented the face he needed, and swore to reconcile with Xiang Liurou under the notarization of Lu Gui.
Chi Ming was killed in Anyi City! This was like spitting a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm on Lu Gui's face, and then stepping heavily on him.
"Search for me! Catch! Kill!" Lu Gui raised his arms angrily, his fingers trembling violently like a mad shrew, as if he wanted to pounce down and tear those unlucky ministers apart. "Even if he kills the wrong one,
Thousands, ten thousand, not one person can be spared! Who killed Chi Ming! Catch him out to me! This is contempt for me, this is contempt for my authority, this is a provocation to me!"
Xing Tiane, who was also sitting on a stone table next to the throne with a gloomy face, stamped the ground angrily and said angrily: "Chi Ming has just entered the list of ten thousand people, but he has been selected to ascend within the next hundred years.
The elite! This is what was announced at the festival the day before yesterday. Someone actually dared to kill Akatsuki. This is a provocation to the king and the Witch Palace!"
Lu Gui stopped abruptly, and ink could almost squeeze out of his fair face. He said solemnly: "Fu Gong is right. Chi Ming was selected into the roster of ten thousand people. This matter is not that simple.
. This is a provocation to the power of our Great Xia monarchy and the witchcraft religion. The mastermind behind this must be traced out. Guan Longfeng, the whole city is searching, and all suspicious people will be arrested and tortured. "
Xia Jie, who had been sitting near the palace door, added sadly: "If Master Anyi cannot find the murderer within three hours, then I will do it myself!"
Guan Longfeng's eyes widened, he jumped up, pointed at Xia Jie and shouted angrily: "Meng Tianhou, do you still have Wang Fa in your heart?"
'Ah~~~Bah!', a mouthful of thick phlegm spat out from far away. The whistling phlegm smashed a floor tile into pieces. Xia Jie laughed angrily and said: "Wang Fa? My adjutant was slaughtered.
Guan Longfeng, why the hell are you asking me about my law?"
He punched the air hard, and the wind of the fist shook the Earth Temple. Xia Jie jumped up, glanced gloomily at the furious Guan Longfeng, and sneered: "Guan Longfeng...if you catch
If I can't help but assassinate the man who killed Chi Ming, then I will do it myself." Xia Jie tapped Guan Longfeng several times with his index finger, then turned around and was about to leave the Earth Temple.
Guan Longfeng snorted and shouted angrily: "Xia Jie! Did you just leave like that? Your adjutant was killed, and I ordered to find the murderer! But Chi Ming's mount destroyed half of the street and killed innocent people.
Tens of thousands of people, I have to settle this account with you, Xia Jie!"
Looking back, Xia Jie glanced at Guan Longfeng with the eyes of a monster, and said calmly: "Oh? Okay? That rainman has fled back to Yunmeng Daze, right? You can send
If someone goes to look for it in the mountains and forests in the south, I will never hinder your Anyi order from handling the case."
After laughing coldly for a few times, Xia Jie strode out, shouting wildly: "Come here, mobilize the troops and surround Zhongtianhou's mansion for me! Go to Wushan, and please lure Xin over!"
"Bold! Do you dare to privately deploy troops to surround Tianhou Mansion?" Guan Longfeng was the most disgusted in his eyes. In his opinion, Xia Jie's behavior was simply trampling on Daxia's laws. Especially for him
What is intolerable is that Xia Jie sent troops to surround Yi Hao's mansion without any evidence at all. This, this, this is simply nonsense!
However, Lu Gui acquiesced to Xia Jie's order, and none of the other courtiers in the palace said a word. Guan Long Fengruo was angry, but he could only leave the palace in a hurry and take people to investigate the case.
However, the officials under the Anyi Order were obviously unable to catch the murderers who killed Chi Ming and dozens of his clan brothers. The people who did it were much stronger than the witches who were investigating, and all traces and auras were removed.
The witchcraft was used to erase all the ghosts and undead beings near the crime scene that might reveal their movements. Where could they find the slightest evidence?
The gloomy Xia Jie followed Guan Longfeng all the time. Guan Longfeng led a large group of people to run around in Anyi City. No matter where he went, Xia Jie would always appear on the roof or eaves near him, using his cold and cold words.
Guan Longfeng stared at him with unpleasant eyes. As time passed by, large patches of sweat gradually appeared on Guan Longfeng's body. The murderous aura exuding from Xia Jie's body became heavier and heavier. Those who had not experienced any bloody storms
All the officials in Anyi were trembling, and some could not even walk.
It's daybreak, and the three hours Xia Jie gave Guan Longfeng have passed.
Qi Xin, who was wearing elegant green robes, led a large group of witches and poured into Anyi City.
In the sky, dozens of newly built heavy battleships from the Doomsday Fortress slowly lowered, and countless great witches from the Hidden Witch Palace rushed out of the battleships.
After receiving the news, the Xingtian Dafeng brothers led a large number of troops into Anyi City from the city gates in four directions. These were elite soldiers under the control of the Daxia Military Headquarters and controlled by the Xingtian family.
The warriors joined the great witches from the Li Witch Palace and the Yin Witch Palace, and like a flood, they rushed towards the residence of Yi Hao, the Marquis of Zhongtian, in Anyi City.
Guan Longfeng stood at the intersection with a gloomy expression, watching the large groups of people flocking to Zhongtianhou's mansion, with an indescribable expression on his face.
There was a sudden weight on his shoulder. Xia Jie patted his shoulder hard from behind and said to him very sincerely: "Guan Longfeng. I don't know if you believe it, but I, Xia Jie, admire you very much."
In the few records about Daxia in the past life, Guan Longfeng was the last loyal minister of the turbulent Daxia Dynasty, and one of the few ministers who was killed for admonishing Lu Gui.
He shook Guan Longfeng's shoulders vigorously, and output a soft, dense purple energy to seal all Guan Longfeng's acupuncture points. Xia Jie said coldly: "Therefore, what happened last time in Xifang, I really
I don’t blame you. The person who killed the generals under your command in Anyi is indeed related to me, Xia Jie. Even if you were used by others to cause trouble for me, Xia Jie, I don’t blame you."
"But!" Xia Jie changed his tone and sneered: "What you Guan Longfeng insists on is Daxia's law, but what I Xia Jie insists on is my brother."
"I, Xia Jie, came to this world naked. The only thing I have is my tribe and my brothers. My tribe has been killed by the Dongyi people. So, if I can't protect my brothers, then I
What meaning does Xia Jie have in this world?" He casually grabbed Guan Longfeng, who was stiff, and threw him to several officials of the Anyi Order. Xia Jie looked up to the sky and smiled and said: "My brother, that's me.
My blood, my soul, my life. In Daxia, what else do I, Xia Jie, have besides brothers?"
Xia Jie merged into the soldiers who were running quickly. He joined Qi Xin and Xing Tian Dafeng, and led these people to rush to the door of Yi Hao's house.
He waved his big hand, and dozens of yellow streaks of earth roared out, shattering the walls of Zhongtianhou Mansion. Xia Jie roared: "Yi Hao, get out of here!"
His hair was messy and his clothes were disheveled, as if he had been trampled by the herd for hundreds of times. However, poor Yi Hao walked out tremblingly under the protection of dozens of personal guards. He tilted his head and muttered, with a straight face, as if he was constipated.
Ban shouted: "Xia Jie, I know your people were killed. However, I swear on the souls of my ancestors that I don't know who did it. This matter has nothing to do with me."
Xia Jie had a gloomy face and stroked the prickly fur on Bai's body vigorously. He lowered his voice and shouted, "It doesn't matter if it's you or not. I'm very angry and want to find someone to relieve my anger."
With a wave of his right hand, Xia Jie roared: "Tear down his house for me, and tear down all the people inside."
Qi Xin's hand moved slightly, and a dull roar suddenly sounded underground. Hundreds of purple tree vines as thick as water tanks roared through the ground, and in an instant, all the houses in Zhongtianhou Mansion were twisted into pieces.
Shattered. Countless thin vines woven into a large net in the air, and all of Yi Hao's subordinates were tightly controlled by the net, unable to move at all.
Xingtian Dafeng had a gloomy face, wielding a big axe, and rushed into the vine net with a group of brothers. He used the ax to smash the limbs and joints of Yi Hao's subordinates. There was a sudden sound of bones exploding, and the muscles were violently
The smashing sound and the scream of unbearable pain made Yi Hao's face turn white. He trembled and made an angry accusation: "Xia Jie, I'm not done with you today!
You, you, you dare to break into Tianhou Mansion, you, you will be in trouble!"
Xing Tian Dafeng suddenly punched Yi Hao, and Yi Hao was thrown more than a hundred feet by the wind, and was caught by Xing Tianpan. Xing Tianpan kicked Yi Hao and kicked him far away.
Yi Hao howled at the top of his lungs: "Xia Jie, you dare to ask someone to beat me? You, you, you are simply crazy!"
A huge roar suddenly came from the ruins of Zhongtianhou Mansion. Shu, the Hu Jie swordsman recruited by Yi Hao, pushed away several stone beams that hit his head and rushed out with a yell. He held a newly made sword in his hand.
Yao Kong struck Xia Jie's neck with his saw-tooth flying sickle. Shu roared loudly: "Yi Hao, more money! Who did you offend this time? They are too strong. These vines are not easy to deal with! More money!"
With a scream of "Zhizhi", Bai's body suddenly swelled up to a height of about ten feet. His body turned into a ray of white light and rushed towards Shu. Bai continued to punch hundreds of punches in the air, one after another.
The white light hit the big knife, and it smashed the big knife into pieces with its strong body. Like a cannonball coming out of the barrel, Bai Tuan body threw himself into Shu's arms, knocking him staggering.
Then a man and a beast, both of whom were extremely powerful, rolled and hugged each other and started fighting on the ground.
Shu's strength is extremely strong and he has a certain advantage in strength; Bai's body is extremely strong, and his scales have been refined again and again by Li Wudian's secret witchcraft medicine, making it much stronger than the dragon skin.
, No matter how Shu choked Bai's neck and bombarded Bai's vitals, he could not cause any damage to him.
While the two were tearing and rolling, Bai suddenly spat on Shu's face. The seemingly clear saliva stained Shu's body and immediately turned into a weird green color. A line of green smoke rose from Shu's face,
The flesh on Shu's face was instantly corroded to a mess. Shu let out a terrible scream, kicked Bai away, jumped up and ran: "It's a loss, the original capital has been lost, more money... No, more money
I don’t even want to pay for it! It’s too terrible. I can’t do such a terrible loss-making business! I don’t even want any extra money.”
His eyes were splashed by Bai's saliva, and Shu could no longer see the road with his eyes. He could only instinctively find a direction and run wildly, trying to escape the encirclement.
However, the troops around Zhongtianhou Mansion were too dense, and several streets were blocked. Bai's saliva was extremely poisonous. As soon as Shu broke through the obstruction of the two groups of soldiers, the poisonous gas had already hit his heart, and several
The Xingtian family's iron guards, who looked like wolves and tigers, pounced on him, knocked him to the ground, and tied him up with dragon ropes.
Thin green shoots emerged from Yi Hao's body. Qi Xin took action, and the witchcraft power in Yi Hao's body was forcibly converted into wood-attribute vitality. Countless tiny shoots squirmed inside his body.
The magical power was used as fertilizer, and it grew vigorously. Yi Hao felt that his body was empty, and he could not lift it up at all, and could only lie softly on the ground like a pile of fleshy sacks.
Xia Jie walked up to Yi Hao, grabbed the big ax from Xing Tian Dafeng's hand, and struck Yi Hao's knee with the ax. There was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and Yi Hao's leg bone
After being split open, countless densely packed and creepy green buds quickly emerged from the crack. Yi Hao let out a shrill scream, banged his head on the ground desperately, and howled loudly: "I don't know who it is.
Kill your people! Why are you causing trouble for me?"
When the ax fell from his hand, Yi Hao's leg bones and hand bones were smashed to pieces. Seeing countless green shoots sprouting from those wounds, Yi Hao was like a piece of fertile soil, with hairy young shoots growing all over his body. Xia
Jie casually pulled out a few tender seedlings, and the squirming tender seedlings picked up a few strands of Yi Hao's flesh, causing Yi Hao to scream again in pain.
Staring at Yi Hao with a sinister look, Xia Jie said solemnly: "Who knows whether it has anything to do with you or not? If Chi Chu dies, someone must pay for his life. Yi Hao, what do you think?"
The big ax pressed on Yi Hao's neck, and Xia Jie said coldly: "I didn't understand one thing until today. When a great witch does things, the strong have reason, and everything else is nonsense."
Xingtian Dafeng said quietly from the side: "Brother Xia Jie is absolutely right. After testing the true tripod position, the king has ordered that the great witches are strictly prohibited from attacking each other, but someone actually killed Chi Ming. They can do this, why can't we? It's just a matter of time.
As soon as Zhongtianhou loses power, just kill him!"
His wrist sank slightly, and the ax blade opened a gap in Yi Hao's neck, and a large bud emerged from the gap. Yi Hao felt pain and numbness in the wound, and he was also frightened.
It was so embarrassing that he shouted in horror: "Don't do anything! Listen to me, listen to me!"
The ax blade was lifted slightly, Xia Jie said with a smile: "Say!"
Yi Hao swallowed, chewed a few times with his teeth, chewed up a few sprouts that came out of his esophagus and swallowed them into his stomach. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Xia Jie, how many enemies do you have in Anyi City?"
"The Xiangliu family and you have been reconciled by the king, so naturally they will not attack behind your back again." He said hurriedly: "Even if I, Yi Hao, have some grudge against you, I am not stupid enough to kill your lieutenant Chi Ming."
I don’t have the ability to kill the current Akatsuki without being discovered?"
After a pause, Yi Hao said gloomily: "There is only one madman in Anyi City who would deal with you so unscrupulously. Bai Zhi, it must be Bai Zhi, only she would do this."
"Evidence." Xia Jie spat out two words coldly.
Yi Hao was so anxious that cold sweat broke out layer by layer on his forehead. The sweat dripped down his skin. Wherever the sweat passed, a tiny green bud also sprouted on his skin. Yi Hao
He howled angrily: "Where can I go to find evidence for you now? In short, that madwoman Bai Zhi can't be wrong. She just came to my place last time and roped me in to deal with you! Then,
It was her people who were hired from Hu Jie, and they only received wages from me!"
He shouted: "Think about it for yourself. You have the support of Yin Wu Zun and Li Wu Zun, and you also have the Xing Tian family as your backers. How many people in Anyi City have the guts to kill you?"
Yi Hao's implication is that except for Bai He, the princess of Daxia who also has a background in the Witch Palace and seems to have a very strong background, who dares to send a killer to deal with Xia Jie? Bai He is the only one who meets these conditions.
He was the only one who had a legitimate reason to attack the people around Xia Jie.
Xia Jie's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said to Yi Hao in an extremely gloomy tone: "Do you dare to explain these words in front of the king?"
Yi Hao was dumbfounded. The nature of what he said here was completely different from what he said in front of Lu Gui. But looking at the situation in front of him, if he didn't agree, he might not be able to pass this test?
Yi Hao's eyes were rolling around, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and strands of hair were stuck to his body. He was extremely embarrassed. He glared at Xia Jie a little angrily, and glanced resentfully at Qi Xin, who was standing aside as if nothing had happened.
He couldn't describe how he felt. Sometimes, Yi Hao even fantasized that if he had the power of a god, he would definitely kill Xia Jie, then hold Qi Xin in his arms and caress her intimately.
If only, he had that kind of power.
The ax blade pressed against Yi Hao's neck again. Xia Jie said coldly: "It seems that you are not willing to testify for me?"
Yi Hao almost burst into tears. How could he testify for Xia Jie? Do you want him to swear a blood oath that the person who killed Chi Ming was Bai Zhi? Then didn't he seek death on his own? He didn't know whether it was Bai Zhi after all.
Although he dared to guess that there was a high probability that it was white snakes that did this thing, he couldn't be sure about it?
Big drops of cold sweat broke out and stuck to the tiny buds that grew out from under the skin, as crystal clear as dewdrops in the morning. Yi Hao wanted to cry, but couldn't. Xia Jie's big
The ax was still pressed against his neck. He wanted to call for help, but since all the Xingtian family's troops had entered the city, no one from the city guards or the royal palace's imperial guards came forward. It is conceivable that
, Lu Gui had already acquiesced to Xia Jie's actions.
Yi Hao felt aggrieved and wanted to cry loudly. Xia Jie was just a newly minted Tianhou, but what about him, Yi Hao? Zhongtianhou was a hereditary title that had been entrusted by King Yu when he established the Great Xia. How had he ever thought about it?
, will the lineage of Zhongtianhou sink to the current level?
But the situation is compelling. If he doesn't 'falsely accuse' Bai Zhi in front of Lu Gui, he is afraid that his head will be chopped off today. The legendary two great witches, You Wu and Hua Wu, can use their soul bodies to travel freely to the underworld.
But he, Yi Hao, doesn't have this ability? If his head falls off, he will die. All the glory, wealth, power and beauty have nothing to do with him, Yi Hao.
He glanced at Qi Xin reluctantly again, and Qi Xin was blowing a saliva bubble. The light blue saliva bubble floated out, slowly floated a few feet away, and hit the thick wall of a collapsed house.
On the stone beam, the stone beam was blown to pieces.
This is a threat, a naked threat of violence.
For a moment, Yi Hao felt that his heart was like a rotten wood, and there was no longer any hope. He thought that he and Qi Xin, his childhood sweethearts, grew up together in the witch palace, but Xia Jie, a barbarian...
Do women nowadays like these barbaric, smelly barbarians?
Taking a long breath, at that moment, Yi Hao forgot the fact that his father was killed by Xia Jie's men, and the fact that his beloved Qi Xin fell into Xia Jie's arms. He decided that, as a man, he would endure it for a while.
The humiliation is not a big deal. He opened his mouth tremblingly and said loudly: "Go, I'm going to see the king! Bai Zhi has recruited many people to plot against you. I can testify for you on this matter! But
, something about General Chi Ming..."
Yi Hao looked at Xia Jie a little pitifully. He couldn't swear an oath carelessly. If he swore that Bai Zhi must have killed Red Star, Yi Hao didn't want his oath to backfire.
Xia Jie nodded with understanding and said in a deep voice: "In front of the king, just tell what you know and that's it."
Xingtian Xuanzhi on the side sneered coldly: "I knew I had to submit, why did I have to be a good man just now? I have suffered so much for nothing!"
The sarcasm almost made Yi Hao vomit blood. He wanted to curse Xingtian Xuanzhi, but Xingtian Xuanzhi sent out a biting cold air and sealed his mouth tightly.
Xing Tian Dafeng lifted Yi Hao onto his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Xia Jie, do we really want to face Bai Zhi?"
Xia Jie had a gloomy face and said nothing. Xingtian Aolong shouted angrily: "If Bai Zhi really killed Red Star, then he wouldn't care so much."
Xing Tianhuanghu said sadly: "Is it really impossible to kill a princess?"
While the brothers were making plans, the troops outside the Zhongtian Hou Mansion suddenly separated from left to right. A palace servant led a dozen witch guards and floated over, bringing Lu Gui's password: Bai Zhi has found the murderer of Chi Xing.
, took Xia Jie and others into the palace to discuss how to deal with this person.
Xingtian Xuanzhi shook his hands and said with a wry smile: "That's all, we are still too slow to take action."
Xia Jie's face was so dark that a layer of frost could be scratched off.
