Obviously the Great Elder knew about this secret way.
"Who did that woman trust? King Yan originally built this underground palace for her. Do you think she would come in and see it
It's just that King Yan never expected that this place became the burial place for him and his sister in the end! "
"Then can we trust her?" someone objected.
The Empress Dowager can use anyone, even King Yan who loves her the most, let alone outsiders like them.
"Believe it? Humph, I never believed her from the beginning to the end, but this time, we must use her power to force the eldest lady to make a decision!"
The Great Elder sighed deeply, with a lot of helplessness in his tone, he took two steps forward, but looked towards the west.
There is deep worry in the eyes, but more is yearning.
"You mean the eldest lady finally agreed?"
"We have told her the truth of the matter. If she still doesn't want to avenge her mother, then we will do it ourselves."
"Okay, let's go back and return to life!"
Having said that, the Great Elder waved his hand.
After they left, the underground palace began to collapse, and everything was buried, but the Ninth Prince and Xiao Ting followed the long passage all the way down, not knowing where they were going.
It's night and day.
The darkness before dawn is about to end, and the sky reveals a trace of fishy white.
Emperor Renxiao stayed up all night in Qianqing Palace, sitting in front of the imperial case with his right hand propping his head.
His brows were furrowed, looking very tired.
The internal officer stood aside and lowered his eyebrows, also dozing off a little.
Suddenly there was a sound outside the door.
The two woke up at the same time.
A black shadow flashed away and appeared in Qianqing Palace.
He knelt down on one knee at a very fast speed.
"how's it going?"
"Back to the emperor, as you expected, the Empress Dowager did indeed send someone to assassinate the Ninth Prince."
"Who is going there?" Emperor Renxiao was very nervous and stood up directly.
The man didn't hide anything, and replied directly, "King Yan!"
"It really is him!"
Obviously, Emperor Renxiao knew about the relationship between King Yan and the Empress Dowager, just as the Ninth Prince said, they already knew the details of these people, and they did so much just to invite you into the urn.
"Tell me, what did they say!"
At first, the man was talking in detail. When he talked about the events of that year, Emperor Renxiao's expression changed drastically, and he waved his hand to let everyone in the hall go out.
He sat there without speaking for a long time, his face changed again and again.
"Where is the Ninth Prince? What did he say?"
The person who answered thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"Ninth Prince, he didn't say anything!"
He was just a hidden guard, and he didn't dare to speculate about the relationship between the emperor and the Ninth Prince.
But the first thing they have to do is to be loyal. He just narrates what happened and the scene at that time, and it is not his turn to worry about other things.
But obviously, this answer did not satisfy Emperor Renxiao.
The emperor didn't open his mouth, and he didn't dare to get up, until the morning glow from the sky filled the shop, the emperor seemed to remember such a thing.
"Go and find Yuchi Xinhan!"
"Young Master Yuchi, isn't he missing?"
The emperor's hidden guards have always been directly under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Prince, so is Yuchi Xinhan. What he did has spread among the hidden guards. Everyone thinks that he has betrayed the Ninth Prince and the emperor, but now hearing what the emperor said, does it mean something else
The emperor wrote down an address with a swipe of the pen, then threw it out, and said in a calm voice.
"Go here to find him, make sure he comes here before dark, and don't let anyone see him!"
"yes!"
Everyone picked up the things on the ground, turned around and left.
However, there was a huge wave in his heart.
Could it be that the emperor has never believed in the Ninth Prince
But these things are not his business.
Later, the empress dowager also received the news, and the great elder stood there with his head bowed and answered.
"The great elder thinks that this palace is too cruel?"
She sat in front of the dressing table with her back to everyone, and let the nurse next to her tidy up.
The Great Elder remained calm, and said calmly, "The Empress Dowager naturally has your purpose in doing things, and you shouldn't be judged by the old!"
"But Ben Gong listens to what you mean, so I don't quite agree with it!"
"Your Majesty is worrying too much, it's just that these things have nothing to do with the old man and others, so it's hard to speak up!"
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he cupped his hands and continued, "If you have nothing else to do, Ma'am, I'll take my leave!"
"Why are you in a hurry? What I said will naturally count. You should stay here for a while. I have sent someone to pay attention to your eldest lady!"
While talking, the Empress Dowager walked over from the dressing table.
His face was still clear and beautiful, and he was clearly in his early thirties.
"Empress Dowager, what do you mean?"
Before the Great Elder could speak, the others were already angry.
Some even directly confronted each other with a scepter.
"Could it be that you people want to keep us? It's just a dream!"
As soon as they moved, the guards guarding the hall all pointed their knives at each other.
Seeing that the confrontation between the two sides is about to break out.
The Great Elder said nothing, and stood at the front, looking at the Empress Dowager quietly.
"You are wrong. I only let you rest for a while because you are old and tossing back and forth will hurt your body. Don't misunderstand my kindness!"
While she was walking, several people came out from behind the screen in the inner hall.
These men are all young and somewhat abnormal, and they are all dressed in white.
But obviously not ordinary people.
The great elder's gray eyes flickered twice, and an astonishing brilliance shot out of them.
Then he didn't know what he saw, his expression suddenly changed, and he took two steps back.
"Elder, what's wrong with you, Elder?"
"Witch Clan, they are from overseas Wu Clan!"
"What?" Someone turned pale with shock.
"How did they come into being?"
Thousands of years ago, spiritualism and witchcraft belonged to the Taoist tradition.
Later, because of some different ideas, the witch clan was regarded as evil spirits, and was driven overseas by the master of Taoism at that time.
It can be regarded as eternal exile, no longer admitting that they are members of the Taoist sect.
All people were trapped on that island and could not be born again.
Gradually, everyone in the world said that there are only spiritual masters in Xuanmen.
They are some god-like beings with powerful power, and then the world of spirit arts has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The spirit-yielding people similar to the witch clan were derived.
Their exercises are more taboo and more mysterious.
unacceptable to orthodoxy.
However, for thousands of years, no matter how the spirit-yielders and the spirit-spellers fought, they could never forget the existence of the witch clan.
That is their real enemy.
If you can't be with it, the only hatred between the two sides will never die.
"The Great Elder has a good eye!"
One of the young men came forward, very different from those people, like an ordinary human being.
To greet them with hands folded is also the etiquette of the secular world.
"Who are you?" At this moment, the Great Elder had stabilized his mind.
"Qiansu!"
The young man faintly spit out two words, this is his name.
However, when the Great Elder heard this name, his expression changed drastically again.
"Your name is Qian?"
"Exactly."
"As far as I know, the surname Qian, except for the orthodox Qian clan of Xuanmen, only the clan leader of the Wu clan has this surname!"
Qian Su stepped forward and said with a faint smile.
"It's rare that anyone in this world knows the surname of my witch king!"
He was showing his identity. What the Great Elder said was correct, he was indeed a member of the Wu clan.
"You guys, how did you get out? There is a large defensive formation set up by the ancestors on that fairy island, and no one can break through it."
Although the world has forgotten about the Wu Clan, as a member of the Taoist sect, no one will forget the once glorious and powerful clan.
What they practice is witchcraft.
And they are born with spiritual power, even if they don't practice, they will grow naturally. This is the scary thing about their family.
Fortunately, their population is not large.
Otherwise, the ancestors might not have been able to seal them all back then.
"You mean, it?"
Qian Su opened his mouth, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his palm.
It was pitch-black, without a hilt, spinning freely in his palm.
Black mist rose up and swirled around it, everything seemed so quiet yet weird.
"The formation eye? You actually pulled out the formation eye. This sword is a relic of our ancestors, and you don't even deserve it!"
Speaking of other things, the Great Elder has always been calm, but seeing this sword being used with ease by Qian Su, he felt uneasy.
In any case, this sword cannot fall into the hands of the Wu Clan.
The scepter in his hand shone brightly one by one.
From bottom to top, until the jewel above the scepter suddenly shone golden.
The Great Elder suddenly made a move.
Like the wind, he directly fought Qian Su.
With just one blow between the two, all the surrounding tables and chairs collapsed and then turned into powder.
Everyone took several steps back.
As for those guards and court ladies, they were directly thrown out of the hall.
This place is like the scene of the disaster, the center of the storm.
"Young master, these old things, let us send them on their way!"
Behind Qian Su, several young men in white robes stepped forward and were about to fight for him, smiling.
"Alright, their identities are not ordinary, let's first try to see how the Xuanmen's strength is now?"
Qian Su took two steps back, leaving the frontmost battlefield to others, while he retreated to the Empress Dowager's side.
"I heard that after you came out, you didn't come to me immediately, but traveled for half a year!"
The Empress Dowager looked at him curiously.
Qian Su nodded, noncommittal, and didn't say much.
"You once appeared near the Jiangnan Prince's Mansion, did there also appear in the Taoist sect?"
The empress dowager didn't look at him.
Clearly aware of his whereabouts.
Qian Su didn't care when she heard what she said.
"You have people following me? Did they tell you everything?"
Qian Su's eyes swept over the young men in white robes in front of them.
His whereabouts have always been secretive, and no one knows except these few people.
"Don't worry, it's not them. Someone accidentally discovered your whereabouts and told me!"
The Empress Dowager said frankly, "No matter how you say it, you are still the young master, and the catastrophe of the witch clan will still need to be resolved by you in the future!"
"You don't have to keep reminding me of my mission, I know what I'm doing!"
