The Palace of Daxia, the ¡®Divine Temple¡¯. On days that are not major court meetings, if something important happens, the king of Xia will usually convene his ministers here to discuss national policies.
Today, the atmosphere in the Earth God Temple is extremely depressing. Two storms are brewing, and the eye of the storm comes from Lu Gui and Xia Jie.
It was Lu Gui who was walking rapidly back and forth in front of the throne. Wisps of lightning shot out dozens of feet away. The lightning converged into a squirming vortex, causing large amounts of water vapor to form dark clouds in the palace. He roared crazily, cursed loudly, pointed at the sky and the earth, cursed loudly at the several important ministers kneeling below, and greeted their families. In his rage, Lu Gui was like a violent hurricane. The thunder clouds rushing outside him seemed to tear apart everything around him. From time to time, thin bolts of lightning roared out and struck in front of the courtiers, shattering the floor tiles into pieces.
Xia Jie had a gloomy face, folded his hands on his chest, and sat cross-legged in front of a pillar near the palace door. His waist was straight, and the back of his head hit the stone pillar behind him at a constant frequency. The hall slowly trembled with his impact and made a "buzzing" sound. Bai Ze, who also had a gloomy face, squatted next to Xia Jie, with a pair of blue-red eyes with a bit of Pixiu's unique ferocity. From time to time, he glanced at the plump and straight buttocks of the important ministers, and the sharp claws on his pair of claws, It emits a hint of cold light.
Lu Gui had reason to be angry. He thought he had successfully mediated the conflict between Xia Jie and Xiang Liu's family. In Lu Gui's view, this was a symbol that his royal power had gained some stability - because of the powerful backers behind Xia Jie, Xia Jie's respectful attitude towards Lu Gui represented the attitude of some people towards him. There is no doubt that the respect and kindness shown by these people to Lu Gui through Xia Jie is extremely important to Lu Gui.
However, Xia Jie, his most important lieutenant, who had just expressed his respect and respect to Lu Gui, gave the royal power that Lu Gui represented the face he needed, and swore to reconcile with Xiang Liurou under the notarization of Lu Gui. Chi Ming was killed in Anyi City! This was like spitting a few mouthfuls of phlegm on Lu Gui's face, and then stepping heavily on it.
"Search for me! Catch! Kill!" Lu Gui raised his arms angrily, his fingers trembling violently like a crazy shrew, as if he wanted to pounce down and tear those unfortunate ministers apart. "Even if you kill a thousand or ten thousand by mistake, you can't let one go! Who killed Chi Ming! Catch him out for me! This is contempt for me, this is contempt for my authority, this is disrespect for me provocative!"
Xing Tiane, who was also sitting on a stone table next to the throne with a sullen face, stomped the ground angrily and said angrily: "Red Star just entered the list of ten thousand people, but he was selected to ascend within the next hundred years." The elite! This was announced at the festival the day before yesterday. Someone actually dared to kill Chi Ming. This matter is a provocation to the king and the Witch Palace!"
Lu Gui stopped suddenly, and ink could almost squeeze out of his fair face. He said solemnly: "Fu Gong is right. Chi Ming was selected into the list of 10,000 people. This matter is not that simple. This is a provocation to our great Xia royal power and the power of the witchcraft. The master behind this The envoy must be traced out. Guan Longfeng, the whole city will be searched, and all suspicious people will be arrested and tortured. "
Xia Jie, who had been sitting near the palace door, added sadly: "If Master Anyi cannot find the murderer within three hours, then I will do it myself!"
Guan Longfeng's eyes widened, he jumped up, pointed at Xia Jie and shouted angrily: "Meng Tianhou, do you still have Wang Fa in your heart?"
¡®Ah~~poof! ¡¯, spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm all the way away, and the whistling phlegm smashed a floor tile into pieces. Xia Jie laughed angrily and said: "Wang Fa? My adjutant was slaughtered, Guan Longfeng, you fucking Ask me about the king's law?"
He punched the air hard, and the wind of the fist shook the Earth Temple. Xia Jie jumped up, glanced gloomily at the furious Guan Longfeng, and sneered: "Guan Longfengif you catch If I can't help but assassinate Chi Ming's man, then I will do it myself." Xia Jie tapped Guan Longfeng several times with his index finger, and turned around to leave the Earth Temple.
Guan Longfeng snorted and shouted angrily: "Xia Jie! Did you just leave like that? Your adjutant was killed, and I ordered to find the murderer! But Chi Ming's mount destroyed half of the street and killed innocent people. Tens of thousands of people, I have to settle this account with you, Xia Jie!"
Looking back, Xia Jie glanced at Guan Longfeng with the eyes of a monster, and said calmly: "Oh? Okay? That rainman has fled back to Yunmeng Daze, right? You can send If people go to look for it in the mountains and forests in the south, I will never hinder your Anyi order from handling the case."
Xia Jie laughed coldly a few times, strode out, and shouted wildly: "Come here, mobilize the troops and surround Zhongtianhou's mansion for me! Go!Wushan, please bring Xin over! "
"Bold! Do you dare to privately deploy troops to surround Tianhou's mansion?" Guan Longfeng was the most disgusted. In his opinion, Xia Jie's behavior was simply trampling on the laws of Daxia. What made him especially unbearable was that Xia Jie sent troops to surround Yi Hao's mansion without any evidence at all. This, this, this is simply nonsense!
However, Lu Gui acquiesced to Xia Jie's order, and none of the other courtiers in the palace said a word. Guan Long Fengruo was angry, but he could only leave the palace in a hurry and take people to investigate the case.
However, the officials under the Anyi Order were obviously unable to catch the murderers who killed Chi Ming and dozens of his brothers. The people who did it were much stronger than the detective witches. All traces and breaths were erased by the witchcraft. They also had witchcraft and supernatural powers to crush all the ghosts and undead beings near the crime scene that might leak their movements. They Where can I find the slightest evidence?
Xia Jie, with a gloomy expression, followed Guan Longfeng. Guan Longfeng led a large group of troops to run around in Anyi City. No matter where he went, Xia Jie would always appear on the roofs and eaves near him, staring at him with his cold and unpleasant eyes. As time passed little by little, large patches of sweat gradually appeared on Guan Longfeng's body. The murderous aura emanating from Xia Jie's body became more and more intense. Those officials of any size who had not experienced any bloody storms were trembling all over, and some even couldn't walk.
It¡¯s daybreak, and the three hours Xia Jie gave Guan Longfeng have passed.
Qi Xin, who was wearing elegant green robes, led a large group of witches and poured into Anyi City.
In the sky, dozens of newly built heavy battleships from the Doomsday Fortress slowly lowered, and countless great witches from the Hidden Witch Palace rushed out of the battleships.
After receiving the news, the Xingtian Dafeng brothers led a large number of troops into Anyi City from the city gates in four directions. These were elite soldiers under the control of the Daxia Military Headquarters and controlled by the Xingtian family. The warriors joined the great witches from the Li Witch Hall and the Yin Witch Hall, and like a flood, they rushed towards the residence of Zhongtian Hou Yi Hao in Anyi City.
Guan Longfeng stood at the intersection with a gloomy expression, watching the large groups of people flocking to Zhongtianhou's mansion, with an indescribable expression on his face.
There was a sudden weight on his shoulder. Xia Jie patted his shoulder hard from behind and said to him very sincerely: "Guan Longfeng. I don't know if you believe it, but I, Xia Jie, admire you very much." In the few records of Daxia in the previous life, Guan Longfeng was the last loyal minister of the turbulent Daxia Dynasty, and one of the few ministers who was killed for admonishing Lu Gui.
He shook Guan Longfeng's shoulders vigorously, and output a soft, dense purple energy to seal all Guan Longfeng's acupuncture points. Xia Jie said coldly: "Therefore, what happened last time in Xifang, I really I don¡¯t blame you. The person who killed the generals under your Anyi Order is indeed related to me, Xia Jie. Even if you were used by others to cause trouble for me, Xia Jie, I don¡¯t blame you."
"But!" Xia Jie changed his tone and sneered: "What you Guan Longfeng insists on is Daxia's law, but what I Xia Jie insists on is my brother."
"I, Xia Jie, came to this world naked. The only thing I have is my tribe and my brothers. My tribe has been killed by the Dongyi people. So, if I can't protect my brothers, then I What meaning does Xia Jie have in this world?" He casually grabbed Guan Longfeng, who was stiff, and threw him to several officials of the Anyi Order. Xia Jie looked up to the sky and smiled and said: "My brother, that's me My blood, my soul, my life. In Daxia, what else do I, Xia Jie, have besides brothers?"
Xia Jie merged into the soldiers who were running quickly. He joined Qixin and Xingtian Dafeng, and led these people to the door of Yi Hao's house.
He waved his big hand, and dozens of yellow streaks of earth roared out, smashing the walls of Zhongtianhou Mansion into pieces. Xia Jie roared wildly: "Yi Hao, get out of here!"
With messy hair and disheveled clothes, it looked like he had been trampled hundreds of times by the herd. However, poor Yi Hao walked out tremblingly under the protection of dozens of personal guards. He tilted his head and sternly shouted as if he was constipated: "Xia Jie, I know your people were killed. However, I swear on the souls of my ancestors that I don't know who did it. It has nothing to do with me.¡±
Xia Jie had a gloomy face and stroked the prickly fur on Bai's body vigorously. He lowered his voice and shouted, "It doesn't matter if it's you or not. I'm very angry and want to find someone to relieve my anger."
With a wave of his right hand, Xia Jie roared: "Tear down his house for me, and tear down all the people inside."
Qi Xin's hand moved slightly, and a dull roar suddenly sounded underground. Hundreds of purple tree vines as thick as water tanks roared through the ground, and in an instant, all the houses in Zhongtianhou Mansion were twisted into pieces. Crush. Countless thin tree vines are in the air.It formed a big net, and all of Yi Hao's subordinates were tightly controlled by the net, unable to move at all.
Xingtian Dafeng had a gloomy face, wielding a big axe, and led a group of brothers into the vine net, and used the ax to smash the limbs and joints of Yi Hao's subordinates. The sound of bones exploding, the sound of muscles being violently broken, and the screams of unbearable pain made Yi Hao's face turn white, and he trembled and made angry accusations: "Xia Jie , I¡¯m not done with you today! You, you, you dare to break into the Tianhou Mansion, you, you will be in trouble! "
Xing Tian Dafeng suddenly threw out a punch. Yi Hao was blown more than a hundred feet by the punch wind, and was caught by Xing Tianpan. Xing Tianpan kicked Yi Hao, sending him flying far away.
Yi Hao howled at the top of his lungs: "Xia Jie, you dare to ask someone to beat me? You, you, you are simply crazy!"
A huge roar suddenly came from the ruins of Zhongtianhou Mansion. Shu, the Hu Jie swordsman recruited by Yi Hao, pushed away several stone beams that hit his head and rushed out with a loud yell. He held a newly made serrated flying scythe in his hand and struck Xia Jie's neck from afar. Shu roared loudly: "Yi Hao, pay more! Who did you offend this time? You are too strong. These vines are not easy to deal with! Pay more!"
With a scream of 'Zhizhi', Bai's body suddenly swelled up to a height of about ten feet. His body turned into a ray of white light and he quickly rushed towards Shu. Bai punched hundreds of times in the air, and white light struck the sword, smashing it into pieces with his strong body. Like a shell being discharged from the barrel, Bai Tuan body threw himself into Shu's arms, knocking him staggering, and then a man and a beast, both of whom were extremely powerful, rolled and hugged each other and started fighting on the ground. .
Shu is extremely powerful and has a certain advantage in strength; Bai's body is extremely strong, and his scales have been refined again and again by Li Wudian's secret witchcraft medicine, making it much stronger than the dragon skin. , No matter how Shu choked Bai's neck and bombarded Bai's vitals, he could not cause any damage to him.
As the two of them were tearing and rolling, Bai suddenly spat on Chen's face. The seemingly clear saliva stained Chen's body and immediately turned into a strange turquoise color. A stream of green smoke rose from Shu's face, and the flesh on Shu's face was instantly corroded into a mess. Shu let out a terrible scream. He kicked Bai away, jumped up and ran away: "I'm losing money. I've lost all my original capital. More money No, I won't even do more money! It's too terrible. You can't do this terrible loss-making business! I don't even want any extra money."
His eyes were splashed with Bai¡¯s saliva, and he could no longer see the road with his eyes. He could only instinctively find a direction and run wildly, trying to escape the encirclement.
However, the troops around Zhongtianhou Mansion were too dense, and several streets were blocked. The saliva that Bai spat out was extremely poisonous. As soon as Shu broke away from the two groups of soldiers, the poisonous gas had already hit his heart. Several wolf-like and tiger-like iron guards of the Xingtian family pounced on him, knocking him to the ground and using dragon ropes. Tied up.
Thin green shoots emerged from Yi Hao's body. Qi Xin took action, and the witchcraft power in Yi Hao's body was forcibly converted into wood-attribute vitality. Countless tiny shoots squirmed inside his body, and with his The magical power is used as fertilizer, and it grows vigorously. Yi Hao felt that his body was empty and he couldn't lift it up at all. He could only lie softly on the ground like a pile of fleshy sacks.
Xia Jie walked up to Yi Hao, grabbed the ax from Xingtian Dafeng's hand, and struck Yi Hao's knee with the ax fiercely. There was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, Yi Hao's leg bones were split open, and countless dense and creepy green buds quickly emerged from the crack. Yi Hao let out a shrill scream and used all his strength to His head hit the ground and he howled loudly: "I don't know who killed your people! Why are you causing trouble for me?"
With the ax raised and dropped, Yi Hao's leg bones and hand bones were smashed to pieces. Countless green shoots sprouted from those wounds. Yi Hao was like a piece of fertile soil, with hairy young shoots growing all over his body. Xia Jie casually pulled out a few tender seedlings. These squirming tender seedlings picked up a few strands of Yi Hao's flesh, causing Yi Hao to scream again in pain.
Giving Yi Hao a sinister look, Xia Jie said solemnly: "Who knows whether it has anything to do with you or not? If Chi Ming dies, someone must pay for his life. Yi Hao, what do you think?"
The big ax pressed on Yi Hao's neck, and Xia Jie said coldly: "I didn't understand one thing until today. When the great witch does things, the strong have reason, and everything else is nonsense."
Xing Tian Dafeng said quietly from the side: "Brother Xia Jie is absolutely right. After testing the true tripod position, the king has ordered that the great witches are strictly prohibited from attacking each other, but someone actually killed Chi Ming. They can do this, why can't we? It's just a matter of time. As soon as Zhongtianhou loses power, just kill him!"
With a slight dip in his wrist, the ax blade split a gap in Yi Hao's neck, and another large bud emerged from the gap.??. Yi Hao felt the wound was painful and numb, and he was also frightened. He shouted in horror: "Don't do it! Listen to me, listen to me!"
The ax blade was lifted slightly, Xia Jie said with a smile: "Say it!"
Yi Hao swallowed, chewed a few times with his teeth, chewed up a few sprouts that came out of his esophagus and swallowed them into his stomach. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Xia Jie, how many enemies do you have in Anyi City?" ? The Xiangliu family and you have been reconciled by the king, so naturally they will not attack behind your back again." He said hurriedly: "Even if I, Yi Hao, have some grudge against you, I am not stupid enough to kill your lieutenant Chi Ming. I don¡¯t have the ability to kill the current Akatsuki without being discovered, right?¡±
After a pause, Yi Hao said gloomily: "There is only one lunatic in Anyi City who would deal with you so unscrupulously. Bai Zhi, it must be Bai Zhi, only she would do this."
"Evidence." Xia Jie spat out two words coldly.
Yi Hao was so anxious that cold sweat broke out layer by layer on his forehead. The sweat dripped down his skin. Wherever the sweat passed, a tiny green bud also sprouted on his skin. Yi Hao howled with great anger: "Where can I find evidence for you now? In short, that madwoman Bai Zhi can't be wrong. She just came to my place last time and roped me in to deal with you! Then! Shu, she was also hired by her people from Hu Jie, and they only received wages from me!"
He shouted: "Think about it for yourself. You have the support of Yin Wu Zun and Li Wu Zun, and you also have the Xing Tian family as your backers. How many people in Anyi City have the guts to kill you?"
Yi Hao's implication is that except for Bai Zhi, the princess of Daxia who also has a background in the Witch Palace and seems to have a very strong background, who dares to send a killer to deal with Xia Jie? Bai Zhi is the only one who meets these conditions, and the only one who has legitimate reasons to attack the people around Xia Jie.
Xia Jie's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said to Yi Hao in an extremely gloomy tone: "Do you dare to explain these words in front of the king?"
Yi Hao was speechless. The nature of saying it here is quite different from saying it in front of Lu Gui. But looking at the situation in front of me, if I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this test?
Yi Hao's eyes were rolling around, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and strands of hair were stuck to his body, making him extremely embarrassed. He glared at Xia Jie with a bit of anger, and glanced at Qi Xin with a bit of resentment, who was standing aside as if nothing had happened. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Sometimes, Yi Hao even imagined that if he had the power of a god, he would definitely kill Xia Jie, and then hold Qi Xin in his arms and caress her intimately.
¡°If he had that kind of power.
The ax blade pressed against Yi Hao's neck again. Xia Jie said coldly: "It seems that you are not willing to testify for me?"
Yi Hao almost cried. How could he testify for Xia Jie? Do you want him to swear a blood oath that the person who killed Chi Ming was Bai Zhi? Then isn't he looking for death? He didn't know whether it was Bai Zhi who did this. Although he dared to guess that it was most likely Bai Zhi, he couldn't be sure about this?
Large beads of cold sweat broke out and stuck to the tiny buds growing out from under the skin, as crystal clear as morning dewdrops. Yi Hao wanted to cry, but he couldn't. Xia Jie's big ax was still pressed against his neck. He wanted to call for help, but since all the Xingtian family's troops had entered the city, and no one from the city guards or the palace's imperial guards came forward, it was conceivable that Lu Gui had already acquiesced to Xia Jie's actions. .
Yi Hao felt wronged and wanted to cry loudly. Xia Jie is just a new talent, but what about him, Yi Hao? Zhongtian Hou is a hereditary title that was entrusted to King Yu when he founded Great Xia. Who would have ever thought that the Zhongtian Hou lineage would be reduced to what it is now?
"But the situation is compelling. If I don't go and 'falsely accuse' Bai Zhi in front of Lu Gui, I am afraid that I will have my head chopped off today." The two legendary witch masters, the Nether Witch and the Transformation Witch, can use their soul bodies to travel freely to the underworld, but Yi Hao doesn't have this ability? If his head falls off, he will die. All the glory, wealth, power and beauty have nothing to do with Yi Hao.
He glanced at Qi Xin reluctantly again, and Qi Xin was blowing a bubble of saliva. The light blue saliva bubbles floated out, slowly floated several feet away, and hit the thick stone beams of a collapsed house, blowing the stone beams into pieces.
This is a threat, a naked threat of violence.
For a moment, Yi Hao felt that his heart was like rotten wood and there was no hope anymore. He believed that he and Qi Xin, his childhood sweethearts, grew up together in the Witch Palace. However, Xia Jie, a barbarian
¡°Do women today like these barbaric, smelly barbarians?
Yi Hao took a long breath. At that moment, Yi Hao forgot about his father.After seeing the fact that Xia Jie led others to kill, he forgot the fact that Qi Xin, whom he loved, fell into Xia Jie's arms. He decided that being a manly man and enduring a momentary humiliation was not a big deal. He opened his mouth tremblingly and said loudly: "Go, I'm going to see the king! Bai Zhi has recruited many people to plot against you. I can testify for you about this matter! But, what about General Chi Ming's matter"
Yi Hao looked at Xia Jie pitifully. He couldn't swear an oath carelessly. If he swore that Bai Zhi must have killed Red Star, Yi Hao didn't want his oath to backfire.
Xia Jie nodded with understanding and said in a deep voice: "In front of the king, just tell me what you know and that's it."
Xingtian Xuanzhi on the side sneered incomparably coldly: "I knew I had to succumb, why did I have to be a good man just now? I have suffered so much for nothing!"
The sarcasm made Yi Hao almost vomit blood. He wanted to curse Xingtian Xuanzhi, but Xingtian Xuanzhi sent out a biting cold air and sealed his mouth tightly.
Xingtian Dafeng lifted Yi Hao and put it on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Jie, do we really want to face Bai Zhi?"
Xia Jie had a gloomy face and said nothing. Xingtian Aolong shouted angrily: "If Bai Zhi really killed Chi Shu, then he wouldn't care so much."
Xingtianhuanghu said sadly: "Is it really impossible to kill a princess?"
While the brothers were making plans, the troops outside the Zhongtian Hou Mansion suddenly separated from left to right. A palace servant led a dozen witch guards and floated over, bringing Lu Gui's password: Bai Zhi has found the murderer of Chi Xing. , Xia Jie and others entered the palace to discuss how to deal with this person.
Xingtian Xuanzhi shook his hands and said with a wry smile: "That's it, we were still too slow to take action."
Xia Jie¡¯s face was so dark that a layer of frost could be scratched off.
