Zhu Mingrui's face was full of fury, and she appeared to be neither angry nor majestic.
"My country in Great Wei suffered from evil disasters and chaos, causing people all over the world to live in trouble, and people to flee. It is so hateful for someone to carry out such an act of mutual anger."
“Some immortal masters can be sure, no matter if there is anyone in the army involved in this matter, I will investigate to the end, giving an explanation to all immortal masters, and give an explanation to the people Liming!”
Looking at the upright Zhu Mingrui, Lin Heng's heart trembled slightly.
The purpose of their visit to the palace was to get Zhu Mingrui, to see if they could see any clues to prove that the resurrection of evil spirits was related to the royal family.
But judging from Zhu Mingrui's reaction, their guess seemed to be wrong!
This matter might have something to do with the imperial army, but it seemed to have nothing to do with the royal family.
For a while, Lin Heng was unable to make up his mind, he did not know what to say, and he did not know if he should continue testing.
At this moment, Wu Ziyue who had been silent all this time, suddenly rose up and said: "Your Majesty is worried about the country and its people, this is indeed the luck of the Wei Dynasty people."
"Although we are cultivators, we know very little about the affairs of the imperial palace and the army. This matter was related to the commoners of the Great Wei Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty can find out the truth as soon as possible."
Zhu Mingrui said very solemnly: "Don't worry, Immortal Master, I will order a thorough investigation into the matter, and try to figure out the matter as quickly as possible. At that time, I will send people to send the results of the investigation to the worship room."
"Very good!"
Wu Ziyue nodded, then cupped his hands and said: "Then my older sister and brother will be waiting for the good news of His Majesty!"
Zhu Mingrui said as if it should be taken for granted: "Eternal teachers do not need to do this. As the ruler of a country, I must seek justice for the people of Wei Liming!"
Wu Ziyue slightly nodded, not continuing on this topic.
"Since that's the case, it's Your Majesty's fault, I'll go first!"
Zhu Mingrui hurriedly said: "Eternal master has come from afar, why don't you stay in the palace for a while and let the widows have a banquet?"
Wu Ziyue shook his head and said: "We have all reached the Bigu Realm, ordinary food is not beneficial to us, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"So the widow will never leave you again!"
Zhu Mingrui showed regret.
"Come here, respectfully send some immortal masters out of the palace!"
He shouted out of the hall.
A guard entered the hall in response, led Wu Ziyue and the others out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation respectfully, then walked out of the palace.
After Wu Ziyue and the others left, Zhu Mingrui's expression instantly darkened.
He furrowed his brows tightly and paced in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with a hint of desire appearing between his eyebrows.
"Come on!"
After a while, he suddenly shouted again.
This time, it was not a guard who entered the palace, but rather an old eunuch.
"The old boy bowed down to His Majesty!"
"Okay, get up!"
Zhu Mingrui waved his hand impatiently, making the prostrated old eunuch stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Mingrui did not bother speaking nonsense, and directly ordered: "You go to Fumingxuan in Dongcheng, and meet the owner of Fumingxuan directly, just say I have something urgent to contact."
The sky above the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Li Er did not leave immediately. Even though Zhu Mingrui hid it perfectly, he would not trust this person.
Thus, he saw the scene in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Emperor really has a big problem. The Fuming Pavilion he mentioned should be a point of contact between the royal family and the people behind the scenes."
Li Er seemed to think.
"imm?"
At this moment, the breathing of the cultivator on the Golden Core stage flew towards the palace at high speed.
Although this person held his breath as much as possible, Li Er still felt it.
"The Golden Core of the early stages..."
Through a breath, Li Er quickly assessed the Cultivation Base of the author.
It's just that I don't know what the purpose of this person entering the palace is, or that this person is a member of a gang behind the scenes that evokes evil spirits.
In order to avoid being discovered by this person, Li Er tried her best to hold her breath, and then quietly opened the Divine Sense, paying attention to each opponent's movements.
Inside the Mental Cultivation Hall.
The old eunuch was about to leave after receiving the emperor's order.
Suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly blew into the palace.
Soon after, a secret word reached Zhu Mingrui's ears.
Zhu Mingrui's complexion suddenly changed, and she quickly stopped the old eunuch: "Wait, you back off first, there is no need to go to Fumingxuan!"
The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, bowed and said, "Old slave obediently!"
After saying this, the old eunuch tactfully retreated from the Mental Cultivation Hall.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the hall.
When Zhu Mingrui saw this person, her expression was not good.
Feeling overjoyed, he also heaved a sigh of relief: "Old General Zhou, you are finally here!"
The one who appeared in the hall was none other than Zhou Chong from Li Er who was chasing and killing him back then.
Right now, Zhou Chong who was wearing Cultivation Base, was no longer the final stage of Foundation Establishment, but had reached the level of the Gold Core stage, but judging from his aura, was no longer the final stage of Foundation Establishment, but had reached the level of the Gold Core stage, he should have just reached the Golden Core stage not too long ago.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
With a respectful face, Zhou Chong greeted Zhu Mingrui with the courtesy of a king and minister.
He was not a general of the current dynasty, but a general of Zhu Mingrui's grandfather when he came to power over a hundred years ago in the Great Wei Kingdom.
Even so, everything he had now was given by the Zhu family, even if he faced Zhu Mingrui, he would not dare to be disrespectful.
Zhu Mingrui said with a smile: "Old General Zhou, there is no need to be too polite! It's good that you come, otherwise, I'll have to contact the emperor's uncle through Fumingxuan."
"Call the old prince? Your Majesty, what happened?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chong suddenly got a bad premonition in his heart.
"You don't know, old general, just a few disciples of the Qingyang Sect ..." Zhu Mingrui succinctly explained what happened in the Mental Cultivation Hall just now.
Knowing the entire story, Zhou Chong's face became extremely solemn.
The reason why he came to the imperial city was to track down the real culprit who destroyed the evil spirit breeding ground in Huaizhou a few days ago.
Upon learning that this person's destination was the imperial city, he felt a little worried. Now that he heard that these people turned out to be disciples of the Qingyang Sect, his heart instantly sank.
If the Qingyang Sect really discovered the plot of the royal family, the consequences would be disastrous!
Seeing Zhou Chong's pouting face, Zhu Mingrui's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"General Zhou, what should we do now? The disciples of the Qingyang Sect must have recognized those soldiers..."
"Your Majesty need not worry. No one could prove the identity of the soldiers in that army. As long as the arrangements are properly made, Your Majesty will not be involved."
Zhou Chong sighed silently as he comforted Zhu Mingrui.
If not for the fact that the royal family did not have enough cultivators, how could the imperial army occupy the mountains and become bandits, capturing people everywhere?
He had expected that this matter would leave behind a hidden danger, but he never thought that this day would come so soon!
"But……"
Zhu Mingrui was still very worried. As the emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, although he was still an ordinary person, he also understood the horrors of the Four Sects.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. If the Qingyang Sect comes to investigate, you just need to say that it has nothing to do with the royal family. There's no real evidence. Even if it is the Four Sects, you will not be in a hurry to attack the royal family."
"In addition, the Qingyang Sect may not know about this matter. You only need to kill the three Qingyang Sect disciples who entered the palace, and you can sit back and relax."
A killing intent appeared in Zhou Chong's eyes.
"Old General, are you going to kill those three Qingyang Sect disciples?"
Hearing Zhou Chongzhi's words, Zhu Mingrui was shocked.
"Not bad." Zhou Chong nodded heavily.
Zhu Mingrui hesitated and said: "But, if the Qingyang Sect has received the news, once these three people die, won't it be certain that the royal family's crimes have been committed?"
Zhou Chong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, before I do anything, I will find out if they have sent the news back to the Sect."
"If it has been sent back, then His Majesty just needs to deal with the army properly, and then pretend not to know about it. If not sent back, I will kill those three with my own hands. "
Zhu Mingrui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then follow what the old general said."
"Okay, it's not too late. I'm gonna see these guys for a second. Your Majesty will be waiting quietly in the palace."
Zhou Chong immediately cupped his hands.
"Old General, be careful!"
Immediately, Zhou Chong restrained his figure again, hurriedly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and flew slowly towards the palace.
"Last time, you were lucky enough to escape, and now you dare to show up!"
Li Er had realized that this person was the one who chased him to Qingyangfang City.
He watched the other party leave without moving to stop him.
The cultivation base of this person, he was not toput in someone's eyes, but if he did here, his movements were too violent, and would likely injure an innocent person.
Moreover, it was very possible to scare the snake away.
After all, by eavesdropping on the conversation in the Mental Cultivation Hall just now, he realized that this fellow should only be a small shrimp, a very large fish, that had yet to surface.
"It's time to avenge the murder last time!"
Li Er smiled coldly and whispered.
Suddenly, he thought of Lin Heng and the others again.
The current target of this person was precisely those people, and the ones with the highest Cultivation Base of these people were middle-aged men, Foundation Establishment late stage cultivation bases.
As for the other two
, Both are the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
With such strength, how could he be against this fellow?
"If I show up at a critical moment and save the child's life, maybe I can return the favor and get something good from the child?"
In Li Er's eyes, Lin Heng was the true son of fate.
After experiencing the previous two encounters, he already knew that this child was truly rich.
But he also knew that this kid's hole card was immeasurable, even if it was a Gold Core stage cultivator, or even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they might not be able to win it.
Therefore, it would be unwise to use violence on this child.
After all, he had already failed twice!
If you can't use violence, change your thinking, and it's great to repay your kindness!
Thinking of this, Li Er's heart immediately burst out in excitement.
Glancing at General Zhou who was about to leave, he quietly followed him without thinking.
...
The hall of worship was not far from the imperial palace.
Third Lin Heng came out of the palace and came back here.
In the main pavilion of the bath hall, three people sat on chairs.
After being silent for a while, Lin Heng first asked, "Senior Brother, what should we do now? Looks like the resurrection of the evil spirit really has nothing to do with the royal family."
"No?"
Wu Ziyue muttered, then frowned. He was also observing Zhu Mingrui carefully now, and he really did not see any clues.
But somehow, he always felt that this matter must have something to do with the royal family.
At this moment, the middle-aged man analyzed in style: "Young Sister Wu, Young Brother Lin, according to what you said, the guards in the villa only look like soldiers, the ones who are not, but likeness does not mean they are like that. "
"Although these people were guarding the page, their actions were no different from those of the bandits. They must have been contaminated with human life. It's normal for them to have a murderous spirit."
"Regarding being well trained, perhaps someone has been specially trained, which is not surprising!"
"In addition, even if they were members of the army, they were not necessarily related to the royal family. They might be some defectors in the army, or they were not from the Great Wei Kingdom!"
Lin Heng was stunned and said: "Brother Zhao, according to what you said, this matter really has nothing to do with the royal family?"
The middle-aged man thought carefully and said: "You and I have seen everything that His Majesty said and did just now. If it was truly related, it would definitely reveal its flaws."
"so!"
"Brother, I think this matter should have nothing to do with the royal family, at least not with His Majesty."
"Sister Lin, you have too little contact with our majesty, and you don't know much, but senior brother has known your majesty for decades, and you have known your greatness for many years, and he could be considered one of the few sage emperors in the Great Wei Kingdom for hundreds of years. How could he do this? The outrageous thing?"
Speaking of.
The middle-aged man continued to shake his head, seemingly in disbelief that Zhu Mingrui would feed the evil spirits along with the commoner.
After hearing this, Lin Heng thought hard, but did not speak anymore for a while.
Wu Ziyue opened his mouth and said: "Only the Evil Spirit Sect will awaken evil spirits. No matter what the identity of the person behind him, what was certain was that even though these people were not members of the Evil Spirit Sect, they must have colluded with the Evil Spirit Sect."
"With the power of a few of us, if we continue to investigate, it will be futile, and there may be a life and death crisis. The most urgent thing now was to report this matter to the Sect."
As he spoke, Wu Ziyue frowned slightly.
At this moment, he felt a little arrogant.
If I were to report back to the Sect in time and ask the Sect to investigate the matter thoroughly, I might have found the clue by now!
Now, with just a few of them, there was no way to find out. Not to mention time wasted, and facing such a passive situation, it should not be.
Lin Heng nodded and agreed: "Sister senior is right, so let's go back to the Sect now?"
"No need."
Wu Ziyue shook his head and said.
Lin Heng was a little surprised, and asked puzzledly: "If you don't reply to the Sect, how can you report back?"
Lin Heng was confused.
It was because the capital was tens of thousands of miles away from Qingyangzong, and the sound transmission talismans thousands of miles could not reach that far.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Heng's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Haha, Young Brother Lin, rest assured, just report the news, there is no need to return to the Sect."
"In Jiantian City, thousands of miles away, there is a shop operated by our Sect. There are formations in the store that are specifically designed to convey the news. We just need to go to Jiantian City."
"So so! Thank you brother for your explanation."
Lin Heng suddenly realized, cupping his hands in thanks to the middle-aged man.
"Sister, you're polite!" The middle-aged man waved his hand.
Lin Heng suggested: "Not too late, let's go to Jiantian City first!"
"it's good……"
