Jiuyou Mountain, Jiuyou Sacred Land.
In the gloomy Jiuyou Great Hall, a middle-aged man wearing a black and gold-patterned robe sat on the head seat, looking at the young man kneeling on the ground in front of him, with a gloomy expression.
He spoke in a deep voice, “You mean, the holy son was killed by Feng Shao of Yunjian Pavilion?”
The young man hurriedly answered, “That’s right! In Qingdi City, except for Feng Shao, no one can kill his highness holy son. As for the rumors, they are not credible at all!”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, with a hint of anger in his voice. The young man suddenly felt as if his chest had been hit hard, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat. He tried his best to suppress it before he managed to swallow the mouthful of blood, but his face had already turned pale.
The middle-aged man asked coldly, “Then why did none of the people who went to Qingdi City come back except you? Where did they all go?”
The young man replied, “I don’t know. But I heard that they have all been taken in by Feng Shao, maybe they are already in Yunjian Pavilion now.”
“Oh? Does the Yunjian Pavilion even dare to take in the traitors of my Jiuyou Sacred Land? They really have a lot of courage! Do Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao really think that my Jiuyou Sacred Land dare not do anything to them?”
The young man hurriedly said, “Master holy lord, junior sister Zuo and the others may not have betrayed the Sacred Land, maybe they also have their difficulties?”
“Difficulties? If they really have difficulties, they should say nothing and then leave the Sacred Land! Xin Ruxiong, you’d better tell me the truth, does the death of the holy son have anything to do with them?” The middle-aged man looked at the young man with murderous intent in his eyes.After Xin Ruxiong took a deep breath, he said: “Master holy lord, please be enlightened! Junior sister Zuo and the others are loyal to Sacred Land and will never betray. If it wasn’t for that, how could they leave Sacred Land rashly? Maybe… maybe it’s because Feng Shao used some shady means to control junior sister Zuo and the others, making junior sister Zuo and the others have no choice but to obey Feng Shao’s words!”
After saying this, Xin Ruxiong lowered his head deeply. He didn’t dare to raise his head, because he was afraid that the person sitting on it would see his guilty conscience and realize that he was lying. So he can only bow his head like an ostrich, waiting for the other party’s verdict.
Just one minute of silence made Xin Ruxiong feel as long as a century. Drops of cold sweat rolled down his forehead and fell to the ground along his face. After a while, the ground in front of him was soaked with sweat.
Finally, the middle-aged man spoke again, “If that’s the case, then go tell the holy maiden to bring me Feng Shao’s head! If she can do it, then she can continue to serve as the Jiuyou holy maiden. If she can’t, then she is a traitor to my Jiuyou Sacred Land!”
Xin Ruxiong replied in a deep voice, “Yes!”
After leaving the Jiuyou Great Hall, Xin Ruxiong couldn’t help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. And the trembling expression had already been swept away at this time, replaced by a look of excitement.
Although it is a bit risky to do so, obviously, he made the right bet! After overcoming the difficulties in front of him, the position of the holy son of Jiuyou will be his sooner or later!
On the day the Jiuyou Sacred Land disciples rose up to riot, Xin Ruxiong was also present. But he just watched coldly from a distance, and had no intention of helping Chi Xuan at all. Because to him, a dead Chi Xuan is far more useful than a living one.
As he expected, Chi Xuan, who had already offended everyone, was tortured to death in the most cruel way by the disciples, and even his soul was detained by Zuo Linglan with a magical item.
Therefore, even if Jiuyou Sacred Land summoned Chi Xuan with ghost magic, it was meaningless.
What Xin Ruxiong has to do is charge Feng Shao with the crime of killing Chi Xuan.
Feng Shao’s strength is not bad, and he has conflicts with Chi Xuan.
Regardless of motive or strength, Feng Shao is the greatest suspect in killing Chi Xuan.
Although the news that Chi Xuan was tortured to death by Jiuyou Sacred Land disciples was seen by countless people in Qingdi City, with Xin Ruxiong’s three-inch tongue, he has enough confidence to put the blame on Feng Shao’s head.
And the final result did develop in the direction he expected.
As for taking Feng Shao’s head, it is obviously not feasible.
After all, the Yunjian Pavilion is not so easy to provoke. The strength of Lengyue Sword Emperor is something even Tao Yan, the holy lord of Jiuyou, is afraid of.
But it doesn’t matter, whether Feng Shao dies or not is not a big problem, the key depends on Zuo Linglan’s attitude.
As long as he finds a way to persuade Zuo Linglan to return to the Jiuyou Sacred Land, then his goal will be considered achieved.
Looking at the sun hanging obliquely in the sky, slightly green due to the influence of the Jiuyou mountain miasma, Xin Ruxiong smiled slightly.
