It's not that Emperor Shitian hadn't thought about this problem, but he had no way to solve it, because he still couldn't figure out the intentions of the man in front of him who called himself Ling'er's father, so he was not at ease handing Ling'er over to him. Even if Ling'er blamed him in the future, he would never gamble with Ling'er's safety.
"Emperor Shitian, you should know how serious Ling'er's injury is. Although you can protect her heart meridian, you have no way to save her, right?" Samsara Saint was not in a hurry. A chair appeared out of thin air and sat down. He spoke in a calm tone, looking confident. No, it should be said that he has always been like this since he appeared. Even though he is at a disadvantage at the moment, he is still calm and composed, not in a hurry.
Although Emperor Shitian still looked cold, his slightly trembling hands betrayed him silently. He was afraid, from the bottom of his heart. Not because he was facing a strong enemy, but because he knew that what this man said was true. At present, he really had no way to save Ling'er.
"You should have seen the vitality emitted by the flower bud just now. That kind of vitality is the best and only thing that can help Ling'er recover. So, are you sure you want to keep her?" He spoke softly and in a gentle tone. It seemed like a question, but it was actually a threat.
He slowly clenched his fists, his nails dug into his flesh, and blood flowed out along his fingerprints. After thinking for a moment, Emperor Shitian raised his hand and pointed his bleeding palm at the Gods Picture. Blood beads flew out of his palm and fell on the closed Gods Picture, and the scroll slowly opened.
The Saint Lord of Samsara looked around and waved his hand, and the golden silk disappeared. "In that case, I will not stay any longer. See you later." The last four words were said in a strange tone, as if he was deliberately speaking to Emperor Shi Tian. After he finished speaking, he smiled and his body gradually became transparent, and then disappeared on the spot.
"Master!" Xiao Zi ran towards the location of the Saint of Samsara, but caught nothing. Xiao Zi anxiously turned around and searched around.
Zi Xi was also very anxious, but she knew that the person who was suffering the most at the moment was their Master.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. When the young lady gets better, she will come back to find us. The young lady is so affectionate, no matter what the situation, she will not abandon us, so please don't worry too much."
"It's all your fault. It's you, it's you, it's you! You are the ones who killed my master!" Xiao Zi raised his head and glared at the people around him fiercely. Everyone here is a murderer.
"Young man, you can't say that. What happened to King Yunhai can only be said to be a misunderstanding. It's not our fault." A family head spoke, and then everyone followed suit.
"Yeah, we didn't know that either."
"Who would have thought that Feng Lingling would be so deceitful and deceitful? You can't judge a person by his appearance."
"Yes, people's hearts are evil."
"... ..."
Facing the accusations of the crowd, Feng Lingling no longer cared about her image and face. She hurriedly stood up and shouted at the crowd like a madman, "You old guys, do you think you are good people? Who dares to pat your chest and say that you have lived a clean life? Who dares? Who dares! Ah!" Feng Lingling swept everyone present with a mocking look, and no one knew whether they were guilty or disgusted, but they all stepped back unconsciously.
"Hahaha, you all look so bright and beautiful and think you are saints? You are just wearing hypocritical skins. We don't know what you are like when you are stripped naked. What qualifications do you have to talk about me here? What qualifications do you have! You two shameless things really think you are big shots. Your flattering and bullying attitude is really disgusting! Bah!" Feng Lingling laughed up to the sky after she finished speaking, looking like she was crazy. She knew she was finished. This time she had completely lost.
“How dare you! You don’t repent after doing something wrong and yet you dare to talk nonsense here. You really don’t know how to live or die!” Elder Black arrived at some point and walked towards Elder White.
Feng Lingling is no longer afraid of anything at this moment. What elders and rules are there? Do they still have any binding force on her now? She is going to die anyway, so what is there for her to fear
"Who was I thinking? It turned out to be Elder Black. What? Elder Black also wants to say something to me? Have you forgotten what happened between us..." Before Feng Lingling could finish her words, Elder Black suddenly flashed in front of her and fiercely grabbed Feng Lingling's slender neck.
The feeling of suffocation was very uncomfortable. Her face turned red. She wanted to struggle, but she had no strength in her body. Her eyes gradually became blurry and she seemed to be really dying.
"That's enough. Don't you think today is not chaotic enough?" Elder Bai spoke. Elder Hei felt the pressure from Elder Bai and immediately released Feng Lingling. Although Feng Lingling was saved, she fainted due to suffocation and collapsed on the ground.
"Take Feng Lingling to the God's Prison and help me find out the whole story before I deal with her!" He turned to look at Di Shitian, "I wonder if the Demon Lord is satisfied with my decision. If the Demon Lord has other ideas, feel free to say them. This time, after all, it is my island that has let the Demon Lord down. If the Demon Lord has any requests, please feel free to ask. I will try my best to satisfy them as a token of my apology to the Demon Lord."
Emperor Shitian did not say anything, but waved at Feng Lingling, and then a scream of pain resounded throughout the palace.
"Ah!" Feng Lingling didn't know what happened. She suddenly curled up into a ball and rolled on the ground. All her image and temperament were gone. She rolled around like a beggar, screaming in pain.
“It hurts, ah, it hurts so much, let me go, I was wrong, ah, it hurts so much, you can’t do this to me, ah, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, help, help, someone please save me, it hurts so much, I was wrong, I was wrong, brother Tian, ah! I know I was wrong, just kill me, just kill me, I can’t stand it, it hurts so much, ah ah!”
It was so painful that Feng Lingling wanted to commit suicide to relieve herself, but Di Shitian stopped her and kicked her in front of Elder Bai. "Watch him carefully and don't let her die. Otherwise, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
How could he let her go easily after hurting his little thing? It was not that easy to die. How could her worthless life be enough to pay for the harm done to the little thing? He wanted her to be neither alive nor dead, and to live miserably in endless pain and torture for the rest of her life!
Elder Bai didn't say anything and signaled the guards to drag Feng Lingling away.
Then, they arranged accommodation for Di Shitian and his group. After all, Ling'er was taken away from the island, and they couldn't leave before figuring out the whole story. So they were allowed to temporarily live in the temple's annex, Luoshen Pavilion.
"The matter concerning the Saint Lord of Samsara is recorded in the temple's god book. The Saint Lord of Samsara is a demigod who resides in the Mirror of Samsara and controls life and death. He can control the cycle of reincarnation and change people's fate. Although his status is not as high as the gods we protect, because of the special nature of the place he governs and the importance of his power, the gods will give him some face and will not easily come into conflict with him." Elder Bai said slowly, stroking his beard.
"Where can I find him?" Status and power are all secondary at the moment. What Emperor Shitian wants to know most now is where he is and where he took Ling'er!
"Yes, old man, don't talk about these nonsense, just tell me where the Saint Lord lives, so that we can go find my master." Xiao Zi was also very anxious at this moment. This was the first time he left Ling'er since he was born. To be honest, he really couldn't adapt. When his master was around, he always wanted to transform and go out for a stroll. Now that he couldn't find his master, he realized that the place with his master was a warm harbor.
"This..." Elder Bai frowned slightly, "This old man doesn't know either."
"So you only know a bunch of useless things!" Xiao Zi jumped in front of Di Shi Tian in a hurry, and Zi Xi pulled him back.
"Hey, why are you pulling me? Don't pull me, I'm in a hurry. What are you doing?"
"Shut up!" Zi Xi raised her eyebrows and glared. Seeing that Zi Xi was a little angry, Xiao Zi finally calmed down.
Elder Bai didn't mind. "I know very little about the Saint Lord of Samsara. I can only tell the Demon Lord what I know, hoping it will be helpful to the Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord needs any other help, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best to help him." They should show their attitude of admitting their mistakes first, so that the other party won't embarrass them too much. It must be said that Elder Bai's emotional intelligence is still very high.
After being silent for a long time, Emperor Shitian finally spoke, "Shen Bo."
Elder Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "The Demon Lord wants to see the God Book?" he asked tentatively.
"Yes." Emperor Shitian raised his head slightly and looked directly at Elder Bai with a firm gaze.
After making sure that he was not wrong, Elder Bai looked troubled.
"This..." He seemed a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xiao Zi got anxious again, "Hey, old man, didn't you just say you were willing to do me a great service? You're not willing to even look at a tattered book in your house. Aren't you a little stingy?"
Zi Xi pulled Xiao Zi and signaled him to shut up. After all, he was an elder with a high status on the island, and it was his generosity to tolerate Xiao Zi's words. But he couldn't offend him again and again, as it would make them look unruly.
"To be honest with you, Demon Lord, it's not that I'm stingy and don't want to lend it to you, but this divine book is the original work of the God Lord, and it has a special seal left by the God Lord. Only the God's messenger can see it. Not to mention the Demon Lord, even I can't see it." After Elder Bai finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and continued, "But it's a coincidence that there is really one person who can see this divine book, and that is the Son of God."
"Son of God?"
"Yes, Lord Son of God is the messenger of the God, and the one who can represent the God to exercise power. He has the same divine power as the God, so the seal of the God is ineffective on him. What I just told you about the Saint of Samsara was also mentioned to me by the Son of God in his spare time."
"Great, then what are we waiting for, let's go find the Son of God." Xiao Zi was very excited at this moment, as if she saw the dawn of light. She raised her feet, waiting for Elder Bai to tell her where the Son of God was, and then she could run away.
Seeing Xiao Zi so excited, Elder Bai cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, my friend. You have to wait until I find the Son of God before making a decision."
Ha! I was so happy for nothing. Listening to what Elder Bai said, Xiao Zi felt like beating him up. Can you just say one reliable thing? What is this all about? It turns out that they can't do anything and can only wait.
"It's getting late. You all should take a rest here for a while. When I find the whereabouts of the Son of God, I will inform you." After saying this, Elder Bai stood up and left.
In fact, there were some things that Elder Bai did not say, which were about the woman that the Son of God asked him to protect. In order to make it easier to identify her, he placed a ban on the woman. But strangely, the moment King Yunhai disappeared, the ban he placed also disappeared. He even thought that the King Yunhai was the same person that the Son of God was talking about. If that was true, he was afraid that he would really get into trouble this time.
"Someone come here." After returning to the Elder Hall, Elder Bai immediately summoned his most trusted shadow guard, "Go and check the whereabouts of that woman quickly." This was the person the Son of God had personally ordered him to protect. If anything really went wrong, his life would be over.
"By the way, check King Yunhai's past and all his whereabouts since he came to the island. Be sure to be careful and don't miss any clues. Report back quickly." After he finished speaking, he waved to the shadow guard, and the masked man who was originally kneeling on the ground disappeared.
Elder Bai felt a little tired. Recently, many things happened at the same time. They seemed unrelated, but in fact, they were all closely related. His mind was really a little confused, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.
Just then, his men came in with a woman in a black cloak and led her to Elder Bai.
"My daughter meets my father." The woman took off her hat and knelt on the ground.
"Your father is not here. Call me Elder Bai." Elder Bai seemed a little angry when he heard the woman's address and said in a cold voice.
"What do you want to say that makes you so anxious to see me? Get up and tell me."
Hearing this, the woman slowly stood up, revealing a well-behaved face. Under the black cloak, she was wearing a white gauze skirt, standing gracefully.
"Elder Bai, Qianqian came here this time because she has something strange to tell you." That's right, this woman is none other than the young master of the temple, Shui Qianqian. She is also the illegitimate daughter of Elder Bai. Of course, apart from Elder Bai and Shui Qianqian, no one else knows the relationship between them.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me now. I still have a lot of things to deal with."
Listening to Elder Bai's cold words, Shui Qianqian's face flashed with loneliness, but it disappeared in just a moment. She took two steps forward and whispered in front of Elder Bai.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!" After hearing this, Elder Bai's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. He grabbed Shui Qianqian's shoulders, and because he used too much force with his hands, Shui Qianqian frowned in pain.
"Father... Elder Bai." Shui Qianqian called out subconsciously. Elder Bai realized his own gaffe and immediately released his grip on Shui Qianqian, standing with his back to her.
"Bai... Elder Bai, is this matter serious? Is there anything you need Qianqian to do? If so, just tell me. Although Qianqian is useless, she also wants to do something for you, Elder Bai." Shui Qianqian asked tentatively. Seeing Elder Bai's look just now, she was still quite worried. In her impression, no matter what time, Elder Bai was so calm. Even if he knew the relationship between him and her, he was only silent for a while. He had never been like that before.
"Qianqian." Elder Bai suddenly turned around and called Shui Qianqian. This was the first time he called her name, and for a moment, she felt the joy of having a father.
"Father... No, Elder Bai, if you have any instructions, Qianqian will definitely fulfill the mission."
"Good boy, come closer."
I don't know what Elder Bai told Shui Qianqian, I only know that Shui Qianqian was in a very good mood when she left. This was the first time she was so happy and walked out of Elder Bai's hall.
That night, a woman in a nightgown was walking through the night, with a group of murderers chasing her. The woman was agile and almost shook off all the followers. Just when she was feeling proud, an old man suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
"Little girl, we meet again." The old man slowly raised his head and a cold smile appeared on his face, making people feel a chill.
