In the middle of the night, a figure appeared in the courtyard and landed quietly by the window.
Mino, who was sleeping next to the small courtyard, opened his eyes immediately.
In addition to setting up a magic circle in the small courtyard to hide the evil energy, she also set up a detection magic circle. Even if a fly falls, it will be sensed by her.
She got up immediately and appeared outside Yu Xian's room.
Even when she saw that the person coming was Zhang Yi, her vigilance did not drop.
"What are you here for?"
"It was Emperor Zun who asked me to come."
Zhang Yi cupped his hands towards Mino: "I was too hasty last time and didn't ask for advice..."
"Weidian, Mino."
"Zhang Yi."
"What are you talking about? Come in and chat."
Yu Xian's voice sounded in the room.
The two of them looked at each other and entered through the front door at the same time, arriving at Yu Xian's room.
Yu Xian was not practicing at the moment, and had even just sat up from the bed.
He originally planned to take a nap and wait until Zhang Yi came over, but he didn't expect that he couldn't fall asleep because all he could think about was the figure of Dan Chenyu's back when he left.
"Please forgive me, Emperor!"
When Zhang Yi saw Yu Xian, he jumped forward and knelt on the ground: "My subordinates are incompetent. Now I can't kill the Heavenly Spirit Saint and Li Hanshan alone. I can only look for another opportunity. Please give me some time, Emperor Zun!" "
Yu Xian:???
What was Lao Zhang talking in his sleep most of the night?
"Who asked you to kill them?"
"ah?"
Zhang Yi raised his head, his eyes a little dazed, and pointed at his forehead: "Emperor, didn't you ask me to..."
"I asked you to come to me at three o'clock, but who asked you to kill someone?"
"So it turns out that this subordinate is stupid!" Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Right, let's get down to business."
Yu Xian looked at Zhang Yi: "In addition to the Immortal Ascension Conference, Zhou Huang seems to have a deal with the Luanshan Dynasty. Do you know anything?"
Judging from the news Mino had heard previously, the entry of 100,000 soldiers into the country seemed to be related to Zhou Huang.
In other words, Zhou Huang had already been in contact with the Luanshan Dynasty before the incident in Weishan City!
Yu Xian still doesn't know what's so fishy here.
Instead of going to the palace to ask the king, it is better to ask Zhang Yi directly, which can avoid disturbing the situation.
This was also the main reason why he asked Zhang Yi to come.
"this……"
Zhang Yi hesitated for a few breaths, then the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth and his head was buried: "I don't know, I don't know."
Yu Xian frowned.
Before he could speak, Zhang Yi raised his head again: "Emperor, wait a moment, I have a way to find out!"
I saw him taking out a jade slip from the Sumeru Ring, pouring spiritual power into it, and a pavilion slowly emerged!
"Fourth-level Wentian Order?"
Mino made a sound of confusion, and looked at Zhang Yi with a bit of strange eyes.
Yu Xian's heart is full of doubts, but he doesn't dare to show it now.
He must maintain his identity as the Demon Lord in front of Zhang Yi and cannot act like a novice who knows nothing.
I saw a phantom wearing a purple robe slowly emerging, standing at the foot of Tianming Downstairs.
"Looking for something? Looking for someone? Or do you want to ask something?"
"Ask a question."
Zhang Yi spat out two words and asked: "What deal did Zhou Huang, the Immortal Mansion, reach with the royal family of Luanshan Dynasty?"
The purple-robed shadow hesitated for a moment, then said casually: "...Two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones."
A look of pain flashed across Zhang Yi's face, but he didn't hesitate and swiped the jade slip with a crystal card.
As the numbers jumped, the purple-robed shadow also spoke again.
"Zhou Huang reached a total of two transactions with the Luanshan Dynasty."
"The most recent one was the Immortal Ascension Conference. It was to compensate for the destruction of a city. She ordered the three surrounding low-level immortal sects to recruit immortal seedlings. The targets were all those under the age of twenty in the Luanshan Dynasty who were qualified to practice."
"The first time was when the Luanshan Dynasty asked her for help. Because the armies of the two dynasties surrounding the Luanshan Dynasty were pressing down on the border, the Luanshan Dynasty was in danger of being destroyed, so they specifically asked Zhou Huang for help."
"Zhou Huang promised to help resolve the crisis by summoning 100,000 soldiers from the Luanshan Dynasty to the capital to gather their military souls. The price is that the Luanshan Dynasty must hand over one-tenth of its annual tax revenue to her."
"But there is another hidden meaning..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Everyone was waiting for the purple-robed shadow to continue, but the other party didn't speak.
"Ahem."
Zhang Yi coughed twice: "You continue."
"The remaining information does not belong to the answer to this question. If you want to know, please pay extra."
Zhang Yi's teeth were broken, but he could still squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "How much?"
"Same, two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones."
"for you!"
Zhang Yi swiped his card again, and Yu Xian saw that the balance on it was reduced by another two hundred.
After receiving the second payment, the purple-robed phantom spoke again: "Zhou Huang belongs to the Immortal Mansion Formation Sect. He has practiced the sound formation method since she was Nascent Soul. She left the Immortal Mansion and went to the Southwest Heaven.
Establish independent inheritance and establish Xuanyin Pavilion."
"There is a broken sixth-grade spiritual weapon in his hand, which is an ancient dragon bone harp. Unfortunately, the weapon spirit is lacking. Now it is only at the fifth-grade level. If you want to restore it, you must make it possess the weapon spirit again."
"The determination of the loyal and brave soldiers to die is the treasure that awakens the spirit of the weapon."
"The Luanshan dynasty in Southwest Tianzhong is the youngest. Both the people and the soldiers are loyal to the royal family, and it is easiest to unite the desire to die. Therefore, Zhou Huang recruited the royal children of the two adjacent dynasties as disciples as a price, so that the two dynasties
At the same time, they put pressure on the Luanshan Dynasty, and the only way the Luanshan Dynasty could go was to seek help from them."
"Zhou Huang's purpose is to capture the death wish of one hundred thousand soldiers at the expedition meeting and use it to awaken the weapon spirit!"
When Mino heard this, they just nodded slowly without being too surprised.
After all, there are too many similar things in the world of cultivation.
Mortals are just a kind of material to assist cultivation, and they are everywhere!
But Yu Xian was silent.
He frowned and remained silent for a few moments before asking: "What exactly is the desire to die?"
"It's the human heart."
Before the purple-robed shadow could speak, Zhang Yi took the lead and spoke.
He hurriedly put away the jade slips, fearing that Yu Xian would ask again, and at the same time continued: "Emperor, I have read a classic that recorded this method. The specific steps are..."
"Okay, I don't want to know."
Yu Xian waved his hand.
He raised his head and looked at Zhang Yi: "Does Dan Chenyu know about this?"
"Probably I don't know."
Zhang Yi was not sure: "Li Hanshan and I have been following the saint. We have never heard the saint ask Zhou Huang about it, and she will not take the initiative to talk to the saint about this matter."
"What will happen if she finds out?"
"The saint has always been disgusted with similar things. If she knew about it, she would have stopped Zhou Huang, but..."
"But what?" Yu Xian frowned.
"Zhou Huang is out of body after all."
Zhang Yi frowned and said: "The Saint is not in power now. It would be okay if the other party is Nascent Soul, but there is nothing wrong with wanting to use mortals to repair one's spiritual weapons during the out-of-body period. Even if the Saint wants to stop it, she can't.
No excuses."
"Um."
Yu Xian responded, tapping his fingers regularly on the bedside, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, the knocking sound stopped.
He looked at Zhang Yi again: "You should find a way to tell her this matter, be normal and reasonable, and don't be too abrupt."
"yes."
"One more thing."
Yu Xian looked at Zhang Yi: "How...is she doing now?"
