Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 305: Fall

Views:

With a buzzing sound of impact, a cluster of sparks spread out in all directions, like fireworks in a celebration.

At the same time, there was a wisp of blood splashed.

Although the chain blocked the path of the attack immediately, the attack was not only fast but also full of strength. The chain only acted as a deflection, and the sword blade still cut open her skin after crossing the iron chain.

For a moment, blood flowed heavily from his neck.

However, blocked by the chains, this surprise attack did not become a fatal injury after all.

Yan Qing covered her neck and looked up. Standing in front of her was Bai Zhan, the "Yunshang layman".

The red tassel sword in his hand was dripping with blood.

The two were almost a hundred steps apart, but just now the other party seemed to have launched an attack in front of him - this was Bai Zhan's ability, and the distance based on common sense did not work for him.

In a sense, alchemists who are proficient in Kun Shu are more unpredictable than Kan Shu. The latter can still rely on will and experience to fight, but the spatial distortion caused by Kun Shu is a real change.

This is also the opponent Yan Qing least wants to meet.

"Ahem, your sword... is really merciless."

"You and I are both Qingjian, so we naturally know that we must not hold back any of the battles between Qingjian." Bai Zhan's voice was still cold, "And I have also calculated that with your strength, this sword can only hurt you. It will not kill you. In addition, the sword is poisonous, and you will feel trapped, paralyzed, and sluggish, and your strength will be reduced by at least 30% compared to usual."

He even used poison...

She injected Qi into the wound, temporarily sealing the surging blood.

"What's the reason? Are you planning to start an internal fight?"

"Well said." Another figure slowly walked out from behind Bai Zhan, "I was just going to ask you, what is the reason for letting Xia Fan go?"

Yan Qing's heart suddenly sank. The other party was Ning Qianshi.

"Your Highness..."

"You want to ask for evidence, right?"

The second prince clapped his hands, and an alchemist wearing a hundred-edged robe stepped forward and threw a corpse on the ground - it was clearly a messenger servant in the brothel. Although he was dead, he still crawled slowly on the ground as if he were alive. There was a mass of black air above his head that was slowly moving and making a murky whisper.

"Evil evil..."

The moment she saw the servant, Yan Qing understood everything.

Although the grade of the Hundred Blades is not high, I am afraid that his ability is very special. It can make the consciousness of the recently deceased temporarily linger, which is to form evil spirits.

In a state where consciousness is about to be lost but not lost, the deceased will no longer have any thoughts of defense. It can be said that he can answer whatever is asked. This technique can also be regarded as the last option when interrogating information.

Even if the servant cannot think about complex questions in this state and can only answer some impressive basic questions, it is not difficult to find key clues from his mouth and deduce the whole story of the matter.

Yan Qing originally planned to wait until she sent Xia Fan out of the city and then come back to solve the servant problem, but she didn't expect that the second prince would act so quickly.

"I didn't have this idea from the beginning." Ning Qianshi said proactively, "It's just that the Wanjing Building suddenly became empty and I had to consider the internal problems, so when I turned to the Nancheng Business District to look for Xia Fan, I asked a few alchemists to follow me."

"But he should be the only one who knows about sending the letter, even if he wants to investigate..." At this point, Yan Qing suddenly stopped. She looked at the second prince with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

There is only one way to find out the key person in the shortest possible time.

That is to kill everyone who has entered Xia Fan's wing.

The living will argue, but the dead will not.

"Fortunately, we only used half of the people to find the clue. To be honest, I really don't want to believe that you were the one who helped him escape, Yan Qing... Have you betrayed the Privy Council and our common goal?" Ning Chise asked, looking directly at her.

What Xia Fan said appeared in Yan Qing's mind.

"What about Li? Did Li interfere with this plan?"

"Or are you saying that as long as we have this level of righteousness, any behavior can be tolerated?"

The strange thing is that she didn't think there was anything wrong with the second prince doing this before.

To find out the inside story as quickly as possible and eliminate the threat to the Privy Council - this is a decisive and wise judgment. As for the innocent people who are implicated, there is no need to be too concerned about it. Afterwards, a compensation can be given to the relevant family members.

But at this moment, she felt something was stuck in her heart.

If Li was hanged at the city gate by them, would she really feel that she had been compensated after receiving the compensation money

"Your Highness..." Yan Qing said after a long while, "I did not betray the Privy Council Office, let alone the goal that has poured the blood of countless people."

"Then what's your reason for helping Xia Fan?"

She lowered her head and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

That was the only bloodline left of her friend.

Even though she was a demon, she couldn't let Li die because of her.

"Can't... tell me?" The second prince took a deep breath, "You should know that words are pale, and the Privy Council values actions more."

"But this is the fact," Yan Qing refused to give in. "I don't want to betray the Privy Council, but I can't tell the reason. Your Highness, let them go... Xia Fan will not hinder Qixing's plan, and neither will the third princess." There’s no way you can compete with the Privy Council.”

"Absurd words, I didn't expect you to say such things." Bai Zhan said coldly, "When you were bewitched by Xia Fan and helped them escape from Shangyuan City, you already hindered our plan."

"I can't just give up for such a reason." Ning Qianshi's eyes were more disappointed, "If you don't want to take the initiative to explain, I can only use some last resort means. Do you want to resist the arrest of the Privy Council Office?"

Yan Qing was silent for a moment and slowly lowered his hands.

The chain in front of her fell to the ground as if it had lost its support.

"I... didn't mean that."

"Listen to my order and capture the "Lock Weaver" Yan Qing! "Ning Qianshi said loudly.

"Take orders!"

A group of guards suddenly poured out from the streets and alleys and pushed Yan Qing to the ground. Then her hands and feet were put in shackles. This special torture instrument could even fix each finger. Let alone the use of talismans or magic weapons, it could not even touch the body.

After Qingjian was taken away, the second prince sighed softly, "I didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this."

"The law has no mercy." Bai Zhan said without changing his tone, "This kind of thing will happen again if it happens the first time. If the symptoms are not eliminated as soon as possible, the headquarters may suffer great losses in the future. Your Highness, Xia Vanna What do you plan to do next? Are you going to launch a large-scale search tonight?"

"It's too late." Ning Qianshi frowned, "Half an hour is enough for them to run more than ten miles. There are woods and mountains around the capital. It is almost impossible to find them without knowing the specific direction. "

No matter how stupid a person is, they will not continue to walk southward along the official road without hesitation when they are wanted. Once they leave the city, the sky is high and the bird can fly.

"What's more, tomorrow is the eldest brother's enthronement hall. Both the Privy Council and the Ministry of War must keep an eye on the palace. After that, the Seven-Star Talk will be held - although only the Tianquan envoys of the Xu Kingdom and the Tianxuan Envoys of the Gao Kingdom are here, we at least have to Showing the style of the Privy Council of Qi State. Doesn’t the deployment of troops with great fanfare mean that Shangyuan City is still not under our control?”

"You are right, this is my negligence." Baizhan nodded.

"Let's stop here tonight." The second prince looked to the southeast, which is the direction of Shenzhou. "If Xia Fan really colludes with Ning Wanjun, we will meet again sooner or later."
