Feng Xin stood closest to the two of them,
He looked at Xie Lian,
The shock on his face could not be hidden. Mu Qing's gaze trembled, and there was a faint excitement in his suppressed shock. Shi Qingxuan put down Mingyi and said, "Qianqiu, do you have some misunderstanding? If His Highness the Crown Prince is that Grand Preceptor Fang Xin, why did you only recognize him now? "
At this moment, a man at the side said, "Qingxuan,
This is what you don't know. That legendary Grand Preceptor Fang Xin has always been aloof,
Mysterious and cold,
He has never shown his true appearance to others and has always worn a silver mask. His Highness Tai Hua should have never seen his true appearance before. "
The person who spoke crossed his arms,
Standing far away at the side,
It was Pei Ming. Shi Qingxuan was unhappy when he saw him. He flicked his horsetail whisk and said, "Since that's the case,
It means that no one has ever seen what Grand Preceptor Fang Xin looks like. Why does General Pei have to sound like you're already sure that Her Highness Xian Le is Grand Preceptor Fang Xin? "
When he and Xie Lian moved, they were full of strangeness,
It made people laugh, and once they arrived at the Heavenly Court,
They changed their appearance and were very proud,
Their every move was very attention to their image. At this moment, a snow-white figure walked out from the back of the hall.
The moment he arrived,
Everyone felt at ease. The few priests who were originally chatting in the hall hurriedly stood in their positions,
They bowed and said, "Emperor."
Jun Wu raised his hand slightly, and everyone straightened their backs again. Jun Wu walked by himself and brushed past Xie Lian.
He patted his right arm. Just now, blood was still dripping down Xie Lian's sleeve, but after this pat, it immediately stopped.
After examining Mingyi for a moment, Jun Wu said, "It's not a big deal. Settle down the Earth Master first. "
Thus, four Medicine Gods came up to help Mingyi up and brought her away. Shi Qingxuan seemed to want to follow them down to take a look, but when he saw the situation in the Divine Martial Palace, he was still worried and did not leave.
Jun Wu returned to the throne with his hands behind his back and said, "Tell me, what's wrong? Why is Tai Hua not letting go of Xianle? And why is Xianle lowering her head? "
Lang Qianqiu once again glanced at Xie Lian. Seeing that he still hadn't uttered a single word, and now that they were surrounded by Heavenly Officials on all sides, he wasn't afraid that Xie Lian would escape. Lang Qianqiu loosened his grip and turned towards Jun Wu. Bowing, he said, "Di Jun, several hundred years ago, this person changed her name to Fang Xin. She killed my family and brought disaster to my country. I want to have a decisive battle with him. Emperor, please be my witness today! "
In the Divine Martial Palace, even those who hadn't heard of State Preceptor Fangxin hurriedly went to investigate. He wouldn't have known if he hadn't checked, but the moment he did, he was shocked. Coincidentally, Ling Wen answered everyone's question, "State Preceptor Fang Xin is Yong An Kingdom's Crown Prince Lang Qianqiu's benefactor and teacher. The reason why he was listed as one of the Demon Dao Dual Masters is because of the famous deed of massacring the Yong An Imperial Family during the Gilded Banquet. "
Shi Qingxuan asked, "What is the Gilded Banquet?"
Ling Wen said, "Esteemed Wind Master, this Gilded Banquet was originally a kind of banquet that was popular among Xianle's aristocrats. Because the wine utensils, food utensils, and musical instruments used at the banquet were all made of extremely exquisite gold, it was incomparably luxurious, hence the name."
After Yong An Kingdom was founded, it was announced to the world at first. They vowed in all sincerity that they would put an end to the extravagant atmosphere of the previous dynasty, that they would never make the same mistake again, and that they would wholeheartedly share the worries and difficulties of the people. However, after a few decades, they had learned everything, but it was still the same old thing.
Ling Wen continued, "On the night of Yong An Crown Prince's seventeenth birthday, a Gilded Banquet was held in the Imperial Palace. And State Preceptor Fang Xin … it was during this Gilded Banquet that she wielded a sword and killed all the members of the Yong An Royal Family present. "
The golden cup was overturned, blood red like wine.
"Only Yong An Crown Prince Lang Qianqiu, who arrived late, managed to escape, but he was also almost silenced."
This shocking change was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yong An Royal Family. If it wasn't for Lang Qianqiu's consistent popularity and his efforts, chaos would definitely have broken out. After stabilizing the situation with great difficulty, the Yong An Royal Family summoned all the eccentric people in the world to pursue and kill the fleeing murderer. In the end, they finally captured him. Lang Qianqiu personally killed the demonic State Preceptor Fang Xin and sealed her corpse into a three-layered coffin, burying her into the earth.
However, the Yong An Royal Family's vitality was still greatly damaged. From then on, it was inevitable that they would gradually decline and be replaced by the next dynasty.
Lang Qianqiu unwaveringly stared at Xie Lian and said, "Why did you do that, I never understood. You said that you couldn't bear to see us sitting in this position, but I never believed it. I also didn't feel that you wanted to usurp the throne. Now I finally know why. "
All the Heavenly Officials were flabbergasted, muttering one after another.
"This is revenge!"
"Isn't it revenge? Xian Le Country was destroyed, so he wants to destroy Yong An Country as well. The people of Yong An killed his father and mother, so he also wants to kill the Yong An Crown Prince's father and mother, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. "
"But it wasn't Lang Qianqiu's generation that destroyed Xian Le Country. His anger is too unreasonable …"
"I thought that the laughingstock of the Three Realms was born stupid, but it turns out that he's a ruthless character. He ran to an enemy country to become the State Preceptor, stirring up trouble in the dark, and slaughtering the entire royal family in one move. Amazing …"
Xie Lian sensed Jun Wu's gaze and closed his eyes. In a flash, he heard Jun Wu say, "Tai Hua, what basis do you have for believing that Xian Le Country is Fang Xin?"
Lang Qianqiu said, "The person who taught me swordsmanship is the State Preceptor Fang Xin. How could I not recognize him when he made his move?!"
The undercurrent surged even more.
"Stirring up trouble is fine, but why did he go so far as to teach the enemy country's Crown Prince swordsmanship?"
"No wonder I haven't seen him touch a sword after his third ascension. He's afraid of exposing himself."
Lang Qianqiu said, "This time, I went to the Ghost City and fought with Blood Rain Tanhua …"
Hearing him mention the ghost market and the City of Flowers, quite a few of the Heavenly Officials shivered again. Lang Qianqiu continued, "When I was twelve years old, I went out on a trip and was captured by a group of thieves. Those thieves grabbed me and fled to the streets. Some imperial bodyguards chased after them and fought with all their might. After fighting for a while, a street performer with a bloody nose and a swollen face suddenly stretched out a tree branch and used it to repel two swords, saving me.
"That group of thieves and the imperial guards fought until both sides suffered heavy injuries. That street performer escaped with me and sent me back to the Imperial Palace. Out of gratitude, my Imperial Father and Imperial Mother cordially invited him to stay. They discovered that he was very capable and even invited him to become the State Preceptor, teaching me swordsmanship for five years. I couldn't be more familiar with his sword moves, so how could I mistake it? "
Mu Qing said softly, "Your Highness Tai Hua, you said that you saw an afterimage, but other than you, it seems that no one else saw this afterimage. That's only your side of the story."
His words at this moment seemed to be defending Xie Lian, but in reality, it was rather subtle. Because he was certain that it was already a done deal. The more he doubted it, the more Lang Qianqiu would try to prove it, and it wouldn't help Xie Lian's situation at all. As expected, Lang Qianqiu said, "Alright! Can I trouble you to bring the sword over? "
Many martial gods in the hall carried swords with them. Hearing his shout, someone immediately unsheathed his sword and threw it over. Lang Qianqiu held the sword and placed it in front of Xie Lian, saying, "For you! Let's have a match now. Don't hide anything and fight with all your might. Let's see if our swordsmanship is the same, let's see if I was taught by you! "
Everyone felt that he was being too reckless by wanting to compete in the Divine Martial Hall. However, thinking of the bloodbath at the Gilded Banquet, his Highness the Crown Prince's entire family was killed, they could understand his excitement. Shi Qingxuan was still worried about Xie Lian's injury, and said, "Qianqiu, His Highness the Crown Prince's right hand became like this to help you block Hua Cheng's blade. How can he compete with you?"
Hearing this, Lang Qianqiu suddenly stretched out his left palm and heavily struck his right arm. With a cracking sound, his right arm instantly burst into a mist of blood. It became dripping with blood and drooped down softly. There was no need to check to know that this injury was definitely serious. All the god officials were shocked. Xie Lian was also stunned, and he raised his eyes to say, "What are you doing?"
Lang Qianqiu said, "Wind Master is right. You did injure an arm to save me just now, and I'm returning your arm now. However, saving me is saving me, and killing my entire family is also a fact. I know that you can use the sword with both hands, and your swordsmanship has reached the acme of perfection. Let's compete with our left hands. If you're a man, then pick up the sword! "
Xie Lian looked at the sword, and then looked at him. In the end, he slowly shook his head and said, "I swore many years ago that I would never use the sword to kill again."
Hearing this, Lang Qianqiu remembered that when he rushed to the scene that night, he just happened to see the black-robed man pulling the sword out of his father and mother's body. His eyes instantly turned frighteningly red, and the left hand that was holding the sword let out a rattling sound. Shi Qingxuan flung a horsetail whisk in, sweeping up that sword and suppressing it. He said, "I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding in between. Since that State Preceptor Fang Xin has always been wearing a mask, maybe someone impersonated him to harm people? What do you think, Di Jun? "
Everyone turned to look at the jade seat above. Jun Wu said, "Xian Le."
Xie Lian bowed and said, "Yes."
Jun Wu said, "What Tai Hua said, do you admit it?"
Xie Lian said, "I do."
This word 'admit' was cold and completely different from his usual tone. When Feng Xin, Mu Qing, and Shi Qingxuan heard it, their expressions all changed.
Jun Wu nodded and said, "The State Preceptor Fang Xin who bathed the Gilded Banquet in blood, was it you?"
After a moment of silence, Xie Lian suddenly raised his head and said, "That's right. It was me! "
With this sonorous sentence, there was no more room for negotiation. Lang Qianqiu said, "You admit it. That's good."
It was said long ago that in the Heavenly Court, there were countless Heavenly Officials whose hands were stained with the blood of mortals. But to be honest, there really weren't many who were like this because of these old blood debts. It was probably because those mortals didn't have a worthy descendant like Lang Qianqiu who could fly to the sky and hold the murderer accountable with the dignity of a Heavenly Official.
Previously, Pei Su had General Pei's protection, but in the end, he couldn't escape being exiled to the mortal world. Xie Lian, on the other hand, didn't have any backing. Now, it probably depended on whether Jun Wu still remembered their old friendship and whether he had the heart to protect him.
However, the Heavenly Officials still couldn't figure out what Jun Wu's attitude towards Xie Lian was. When the Xian Le Crown Prince first ascended, he naturally favored Xie Lian a lot. However, during the second ascension, the two of them fought, and Xie Lian had to stab Jun Wu a few times before he was subdued. During the third ascension, the two of them got along rather peacefully, as if they had forgotten about the previous incident. Jun Wu even gave Xie Lian the approval to build a new monastery in the best location in the Immortal Capital, which was really hard to understand. Therefore, several pairs of ears perked up, waiting to hear how the person above would deal with it.
Who knew, without waiting for Jun Wu to deal with it, Xie Lian would speak first. He said, "Xian Le has a presumptuous request."
Jun Wu said, "Speak."
Xie Lian said, "I ask Di Jun to remove my immortal record and demote me to the mortal world."
Some of the Heavenly Officials were startled, but on the contrary, they felt admiration. After all, no one wanted to be demoted. How difficult was ascending? After painstakingly climbing to such a high place, and then suddenly falling down, they regretted it to death. They dared to directly ask Jun Wu to demote them, but in any case, they couldn't do it. But there were also some Heavenly Officials who didn't care. After all, they had already caused trouble to this point. Advancing as retreating might be better than refusing to admit it to death. Moreover, Xie Lian had already been demoted twice, so demoting him a third time wasn't a big deal to him. After being demoted a few times, he should have gotten used to it.
Lang Qianqiu said, "You don't need to demote yourself. You ascended because of your ability. I just want to have a decisive battle with you. "
Xie Lian said, "I don't want to fight with you."
Lang Qianqiu said, "Why? It's not like you haven't fought with me before. Regardless of life or death, this battle will end here! "
