Ling Zhengze took 150,000 silver and "The Record of Angry Ancestors", told Yao Jingtai to come back tomorrow to collect the house, and then kicked everyone out.
Yao Jingtai ignored the injury on his face and ran all the way to the palace.
When he met the Lord God, Yao Jingtai first presented the head.
Hong Juncheng frowned and looked at the head silently.
After watching for a moment, Hong Juncheng's brows relaxed and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
He touched the head, the eyeballs, the lips and cheeks, and focused on the fracture under the neck.
He was sure that this was Xu Zhiqiong's head.
Hong Juncheng's plan was perfect. He led Xu Zhiqiong to Hong Huaheng's residence and let Ling Zhengze ambush him secretly.
As for who wins and who loses in this fierce battle, no matter who kills whom, it is a good result for Hong Juncheng.
If it was Ling Zhengze who died, there would be one less third-grade spy from the Fanxiao Kingdom in Shenlin City, and Hong Juncheng would lose an important threat.
And if Xuan Kingdom's Yunhou killed Ling Zhengze, Fanxiao Kingdom would definitely be at odds with Xuan Kingdom. For Hong Juncheng, this was a 99% good outcome.
Now that Xu Zhiqiong is dead, this is no longer as simple as an important threat.
Xu Zhiqiong is a knife inserted into Hong Juncheng's chest. The knife is inserted deeper and deeper, cutting left and right, but it cannot be pulled out.
Now that the sword has been pulled out, for the same reason, if the spies of Fanxiao Kingdom killed Marquis Yun of Xuan Kingdom, Xuan Kingdom would not let it go. For Hong Juncheng, this is a 100% good result.
Yao Jingtai knelt on the ground and said: "Sovereign God, this guy Ling Zhengze knows too much, do you want to kill him to silence him?"
Hong Juncheng shook his head: "Why kill him? He is the murderer Xuan Guo wants. Keeping him will give Xuan Guo an explanation. Let him go!"
Yao Jingtai added: "Since Xu Zhiqiong is a judge, I'm afraid he can keep his soul even if he dies. I'm afraid he will use other means to resurrect him."
"Not afraid." Hong Juncheng smiled calmly and held down the head with his hand, waves of domineering energy rolling back and forth on the head.
The originally dry blood on the head gradually became moist, flowing back and forth in the wooden box drop by drop.
After more than half an hour, Hong Juncheng let out a sigh of relief.
This is the second-level skill of Canglong Dominance, and it will fly away thousands of miles away.
This technique, relying on the blood of the dead, can directly destroy the spirit of the dead regardless of distance.
Hong Juncheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Yao Jingtai: "Take this head to Yuyao Palace and tell Liang Yuyao that Yunhou is dead and died tragically at the hands of Fanxiao's spy."
Yao Jingtai said carefully: "I'm afraid Fanxiao Kingdom won't admit it."
Hong Juncheng smiled and said: "Let Xuan Guo investigate. There are many witnesses in the knife market."
…
In the Huntian Dang, Yang Wu was absorbing Yin Qi. A man in black was hanging in the air, giving some advice from time to time.
"Since our Taoist sect uses pure Yin energy, our mind should also be purer. You are feeling restless today, but it is difficult to make progress in your cultivation.
Put down the distracting thoughts in your mind, and think about the Qi in your body, moving together with this place of pure Yin, as if two phases are accommodated, as if it is completely... Ugh!"
The man in black trembled and his words stopped abruptly.
Yang Wu opened his eyes, looked up, and asked cautiously: "Grandmaster, did this disciple do something wrong?"
The man in black covered his chest and murmured: "Which bastard plotted against me? He almost hurt my soul."
Before Yang Wu could figure out what was happening, he saw the man in black vomiting and vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Yang Wu was shocked and was about to step forward to check, but saw the man in black waving his hand to signal him not to come near.
The man in black took the vomited blood back into his palm, brought it up to his nose and smelled it.
"It's domineering!" The man in black was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Did Canglong's men take action against me?"
Yang Wu said in shock: "Are you talking about the True God Canglong?"
The man in black shook his head and said: "It's not Canglong, it's Canglong's subordinates. Don't interfere too much, and stay here to cultivate. I have something important to do, so I'll take the first step."
…
The moment she saw Xu Zhiqiong's head in Yuyao Palace, Liang Yuyao fainted.
When she regained consciousness, she felt the world was spinning. She grabbed Pang Jiafen and said, "Go and find Tong Qingqiu. He knows Yin Yang. Let him see if the head is real?"
Pang Jiafen ran away to find Tong Qingqiu.
Lin Qianniang stared at the head for a long time, tears falling down one by one.
"It's not true. It must not be true. Xu Lang is a tough man, so it must not be true..."
Not long after, Tong Qingqiu rushed over, stared at the head for a while, then sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Brother, brother, I...you, what's wrong with you..."
"Is this...really?" Liang Yuyao stepped forward and grabbed Tong Qingqiu, "Is this true?"
Tong Qingqiu pushed Liang Yuyao away, hugged the head and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Yuyao sat on the seat, as if she had lost her soul.
Chu He rushed in and cried loudly when he saw Xu Zhiqiong's head.
Yu Shan stood beside him, stunned and speechless.
Yuchi Lan burst into the main hall crying, holding the head of "Xu Zhiqiong" and crying: "Can he survive? Didn't he survive before? Can he survive again?"
"Master Denglang!" Brother Xing stumbled all the way into the hall, crying so hard that he couldn't even speak.
Yu Shan lowered his voice and asked, "Is that really Xu Zhiqiong?"
Liang Zhenjie responded in a low voice: "It's a pity, it's a pity for such a good son."
Even Liang Zhenjie said this is true.
Is Xu Zhiqiong really dead?
Niu Yuxian's face was expressionless. His right hand trembled slightly, and a lantern appeared in his hand.
A scimitar was exposed on the lantern pole, and the blade was pressed against Yao Jingtai's neck.
"Tell me! Who killed Yunhou?"
"This, this..." Yao Jingtai was shocked.
Niu Yuxian's wrist trembled, and blood flowed from Yao Jingtai's neck.
Liang Yuyao came back to her senses, stood up and said: "Who did it? Is it your god? Tell me the truth, or I will chop you alive!"
Yao Jingtai waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Everyone, please calm down and say something to me. Marquis Yun died at the hands of Fanxiao Xizuling Zhengze.
Ling Zhengze is a third-level cultivator of the Way of Killing. He has been lurking in Shenlin City as a wandering sword for many years. A month ago, the black-clothed battalion found out the details of this guy and is secretly monitoring his movements.
Three days ago, Ling Zhengze left Shenlin City and went to Lunzhou. I sent people to follow him and saw him fighting against Yunhou in Chiguan County.
My subordinates wanted to step forward to help, but it was too late..."
Having said this, Yao Jingtai paused and said with a sad expression: "We only took back the head of Marquis Yun, but the body was destroyed by Ling Zhengze."
When Liang Yuyao heard this, her face turned gray.
Tong Qingqiu shook his hands and said, "Where is this bastard?"
Yu Shan's eyes trembled, feeling that something was wrong, and asked instead: "Why did the spies of Fanxiao Kingdom take action against Marquis Yun?"
Yao Jingtai shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Yu Shan wanted to ask again, but suddenly Liang Yuyao shouted: "Wuwei Camp, Qingyi Pavilion, and Hongyi Pavilion are ordered to find the whereabouts of Ling Zhengze. Even if Shenlin City is turned over today, I have to capture this guy."
live!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, Yu Shan called out: "Princess, wait a moment, this is the Qiancheng Kingdom. We may do something wrong if we act rashly."
Liang Yuyao glared at Yu Shan and said, "Are you afraid? If you are, just don't go! Just go back to Daxuan!"
Yu Shan leaned over and saluted: "Ling Zhengze's identity has been exposed, so how can he stay in Shenlin City? No matter how much he searches, it will be in vain. Your Highness, please don't act rashly, and don't leave the truth behind easily."
While talking, Yu Shan looked at Yao Jingtai.
Yao Jingtai's expression was a little unnatural.
Yu Shan's concerns are correct.
Now that everyone is out to find Ling Zhengze, Yuyao Palace is empty, and Liang Yuyao will be in danger.
Even if Hong Juncheng did not launch a sneak attack, the Xuanguo army acted at will in Shenlin City, but it also gave Hong Juncheng an excuse to launch an attack.
Yuchi Lan looked at Yu Shan and said, "You just have a grudge against Zhi Qiong. I don't need you to avenge Zhi Qiong myself."
Yuchi Lan stood up to leave, but Li Xuefei stopped him and said: "Don't be reckless, what General Yu said makes sense. Your Highness, this matter should be reported to the Holy One, who will make the decision first!"
…
In the city of Shenlin City, Youdao Yalang was resting under a big tree when he suddenly saw a beautiful woman holding a folding umbrella and walking closer.
Judging from her clothes, this woman should be the daughter of a wealthy family, and should not be here to hire a knife.
Yalang originally didn't intend to pay attention to him, but his eyes rested on the woman and he couldn't move away.
This woman is so beautiful!
He has never seen such a beauty in his whole life. She is simply more beautiful than the person in the painting.
Yalang stared at the woman, narrowed his eyes and said, "Girl, are you here to find me?"
The woman smiled and said, "I'm here to hire a knife. If not you, who can I hire?"
Are you really here to hire a knife?
Yalang stood up quickly and said, "I wonder what kind of knife the girl wants to hire?"
"I want your best knife."
"The best..." Yalang scratched his head and said, "Girl, come with me and take a look. If there is something you like, we can discuss the price."
The woman nodded and followed Yalang into the alley.
After entering the house, Yalang pointed to a room and asked the woman: "The knives here are all of the eighth grade."
The woman shook her head and said: "The eighth grade is not good enough."
Yalang pointed to another room: "The knives here are from the seventh grade."
"Seventh level is not good either."
"There is only one sixth-grade knife. I will take you to see it. His price is not low..."
Yalang was walking and talking, and suddenly he found that his legs and feet were not working properly and he could not walk.
The handsome woman put away her folding umbrella, walked to Yalang and said, "Where is Ling Zhengze?"
Yalang looked panicked and said: "Girl, what are you going to do..."
A piece of peach blossom fell, and there was a bloody mouth on Yalang's face.
Yalang exclaimed, and all the wandering swords in the room rushed out when they heard the noise.
There was only one beautiful woman in the courtyard. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a mortal.
This woman is Tao Huayuan.
Before these wandering swordsmen could figure out the reason, Tao Huayuan waved her hand, and a shower of peach blossoms fell.
All the swordsmen in the yard were unable to move, and the sharp petals left blood marks on their bodies.
Yalang said with tears in his eyes: "Girl, we have something to discuss!"
Tao Huayuan looked around the crowd and said, "Who knows where Ling Zhengze is?"
Yalang cried: "I went out to do business three days ago. I haven't seen him since then."
Tao Huayuan smiled coldly: "Then what's the use of keeping you?"
Seeing the peach petals flying again, Yalang shouted: "I know where Ling Zhengze lives, I will take you there!"
Yalang took Tao Huayuan out of the deep alley and walked all the way to the east of the city.
He did not dare to deceive Tao Huayuan. All the wandering swords he knew combined were no match for Tao Huayuan.
Ling Zhengze's residence was very remote, with only a few houses around. When he arrived in front of Ling Zhengze's house, a tall and strong man walked over.
Yalang was stunned and speechless, he did not recognize this man.
Tao Huayuan shook off Yalang, stared at the man and said, "Are you Ling Zhengze?"
The man didn't answer and ran away.
Tao Huayuan's eyebrows were raised and she followed closely.
The man ran outside the city, and Tao Huayuan chased him outside the city until they reached a wilderness, but the man refused to escape.
Tao Huayuan opened her folding umbrella, the rim of the umbrella turned, and peach blossoms flew: "Ling Zhengze, let me ask you something first, why did you kill Xu Zhiqiong?"
The man turned around, saw no one around him, and suddenly came to Tao Huayuan's side.
Tao Huayuan was shocked.
This guy is so fast!
He knows Onmyoji and is familiar with my formations.
Without thinking, the man pushed her on his knees, took off her shirt, and took a bite of the peach.
Tao Huayuan did not cry out in pain, nor did she struggle.
