Awaken Chapter 285

Inside the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

Xu Qingnian is lying on the bed.

He looked calm and there was no sense of anger in his voice.

Luo Baiyi looked somewhat silent.

“You don’t need to explain anything, since I said it, I already have enough evidence, any explanation from you is useless.”

“You don’t need to worry either, I won’t kill you.”

“I just want to know the situation, tell me, I understand, this matter has nothing to do with you.”

Xu Qingnian spoke out.

He could not kill Luo Baiyi, but he needed to get the information he needed.

As for why he could be sure that Luo Baiyi was the one who planted the Three Demon Seals, the reason was also very simple.

At the beginning, the White-clothed Sect contacted himself and asked him to come to the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

It said that someone would meet up with himself.

Theoretically, it was impossible to send a character like that to meet up with oneself.

It was quite unconventional.

Only that one had underestimated the White Cloth Sect at first.

And at the same time overestimated itself.

The White Cloth Sect had sent a boy to meet with himself, and this boy was indeed the White Cloth Sect, but definitely not the person who met with himself.

The person who took over was this Luo Baiyi.

Or rather, Luo Baiyi was the senior connector. According to his position at that time, it was not Luo Baiyi’s turn to find himself.

What I just didn’t expect was that I had to go and see Luo Baiyi.

But Luo Baiyi did not admit it, or perhaps Luo Baiyi was a pawn and would not reveal anything when she was not told anything from above.

And so it was, all was misadventure.

And Luo Baiyi had also planted the Three Demon Seals into herself.

Other than that, Xu Qingnian could not think of any reasonable explanation.

Under the sky, he could not think of anyone who could have planted the Three Demon Seals without his knowledge.

Looking at the court, it was unlikely that the six ministers were spies of the White Cloth Sect, and even if they were, they did not have the time to spend with him alone.

And he had been in the Great Wei Dynasty most of the time, except for when he had entered the Half-Saints, and when he had left for the Western Continent.

Counting the time period again, Luo Baiyi was the only suspect.

This was the reason why Xu Qingnian had to come to the Peach Blossom Nunnery before she left.

Hearing these words from Xu Qingnian.

Luo Baiyi did not do anything overly aggressive, instead, he continued to press and squeeze his shoulders and neck and said.

“Your Highness, there are a few words, I wonder if you are willing to listen?”

Luo Baiyi spoke out, her voice soft and calm.

“You speak.”

Xu Qingnian gave a reply.

“There are many things that I don’t know about, I don’t know that that is the Three Demon Seal, nor do I know how much it affects you, I am just a pawn.”

“Before I was eight years old, I was adopted and later sent to the Peach Blossom Nunnery, I was considered lucky and unfortunate, unlike those sisters who only had the power to choose, but in the end, I still had to take a path of no return.”

“But unfortunately, in a place like this, no matter how clean the body is, the reputation is still unclean.”

“Clean herdsmen or kiln girls, they are ultimately a bunch of poor people.”

“For more than ten years, I have sat alone in my room and hardly ever went out, I have seen many people, but I have also known the minds of most men since I was a child, but only when I saw the King, I saw the difference.”

“The King did not treat me with any hint of difference and there was not the slightest thought of anything else in his eyes, I understood that the King treated me as a friend, and I also understood that the King was also lonely.”

“But no matter what, I am still happy in my heart because no one has ever treated me as a friend, except you, Your Majesty.”

“But in the end, the thing I least expected happened, someone asked me to plant something for you, I was raised by them since I was young and couldn’t resist their orders, so I did it, but after I did it, it was endless regret.”

Luo Baiyi spoke softly, and in her tone, there was no intention to clear herself, she just calmly told the matter.

When she reached this point.

Luo Baiyi stopped her hand and turned to continue speaking.

“To tell you this, Your Majesty may not believe me, in fact, when the Three Demon Seals were planted, I thought about killing myself, but I still wanted to see you again, and at that time, I gradually understood that the figure of Your Majesty was in my heart, lingering.”

“Master Xu, if you have hatred, Baiyi is willing to give her life today to pay for it.”

Luo Baiyi spoke out, and when she said this, she was even more willing to give her life in exchange for her hatred, and at the same time, she also said the words from her heart.

“Ugh.”

On the bed.

Xu Qingnian let out a long sigh, in reality, he had almost guessed all of it.

But, these remarks were no longer useful.

If it was done, it was done.

If he didn’t do it, he didn’t do it.

He didn’t kill her because Xu Qingnian knew that she was just a pawn, but he needed to know what he wanted to know.

“Who is behind you, who is behind you, tell me, Master of the White Cloth Sect, inform me, and I will choose the rest.”

Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, he didn’t care about these stories, having learnt who the White Cloth Sect’s Sect Master was, then nothing mattered.

Ji Ling had said.

There was another person in Great Wei who had been hiding in the shadows, this person had been dormant for many years, who exactly it was, even the empress didn’t know.

At first, it was guessed to be Prince Huai Ning, but as we gradually learned, Prince Huai Ning had been ruled out.

The Empress could not guess who was behind this, and Xu Qingnian had no way to start.

But now, Xu Qingnian had a clue.

The Three Devil Marks inside herself was the only clue, and if Luo Baiyi could tell who was behind it, then many things would be, well, solved.

It was only a pity.

Luo Baiyi shook her head as she looked at Xu Qingnian and said.

“Your Majesty, I am only a pawn, and a pawn is not qualified to know who the player is.”

“However, the only thing that can be learned is that he is from the Great Wei Dynasty and is in a high position.”

Luo Baiyi gave an answer, and what she said made perfect sense.

As a pawn, it was indeed impossible to know who was behind the curtain.

Only, Xu Qingnian sighed as he got up and waved his hand, and his clothes automatically put on.

He then slowly said.

“I don’t kill you because, you are one of the few friends I have, Xu.”

“You are lonely at heart, just like me, but under the great power, if you are still obstinate, this king cannot protect you.”

What Luo Baiyi said was reasonable, and any normal person would have been able to accept it, especially after seeing this charming and pitiful appearance, no one would have continued to blame.

But Xu Qingnian was different.

The White Cloth Sect had placed Luo Baiyi in the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and this was the capital of the Great Wei. In other words, in a place like the Peach Blossom Nunnery, all those who could come were dignitaries.

Luo Baiyi was so stunningly beautiful, and although she had taken on a few guests over the years she had been here, they were all flamboyant, separated by a layer of gauze, and probably hadn’t even seen her real face.

It was enough to prove the importance of Luo Baiyi in the White Clothes Sect.

Therefore, when Luo Baiyi said that she didn’t know who was behind the curtain, Xu Qingnian was dead set against believing it.

This was purely taking himself for a fool.

Hearing these words, Luo Baiyi wanted to open his mouth and continue to say something.

But Xu Qingnian spoke out directly, interrupting what she was about to say next.

“This king has underestimated the White Clothes Sect. When I came into contact with the White Clothes Sect some years ago, I only thought that the district White Clothes Sect was nothing more than a rebellious organisation, and that the people behind it were nothing more than a group of people who wanted to follow the rebellion.”

“There might be some merchants behind it, or it might be a certain prince who is giving his full support, but it is only now that the king understands that the White Cloth Sect is not as simple as he thought.”

“There are people from the White Cloth Sect in the Great Wei Palace of Literature, there are also people from you among the imperial court, and even a small Ping’an County has people from your White Cloth Sect.”

“This kind of ability, even the current Saint, probably can’t do it.”

“Especially, the White Cloth Sect conspired to rebel under the banner of Emperor Wu’s legacy son, but there are a few questions that I have always been curious about, and it is because of these few questions that have caused my king to be deceived by you so far.”

“Even Ping’an County could be laid out, when His Majesty ascended the throne, I think there must have been your shadow, otherwise, with the ability of the White Cloth Sect, not to say that they could manipulate the emperor to ascend the throne, but they could at least choose who would become the new emperor of Great Wei.”

“If that is the case, what is the point of your rebellion? The emperor could be chosen by you, so what’s the point of talking about rebellion.”

“This is the first point, the second point is that Emperor Wu’s legacy son has already appeared, but the problem is that he has suffered losses all the way in Great Wei, but the White Cloth Sect is nowhere to be seen, by rights at this time, the White Cloth Sect should have sent a representative figure and come out to deal with Ji Yuan.”

“But you didn’t, maybe you sent someone, but the person you sent, was definitely not a big shot, and should probably have said a few words to Ji Yuan that he would definitely support him.”

“Or perhaps, it was Ji Yuan who looked down on you, but in any case, the fact that you have not surfaced yet proves that rebellion is not the aim of the White Cloth Sect.”

“You have a heavenly plan, under the banner of rebellion, it’s just more convenient for you to do things in Great Wei, not to rebel, Miss Baiyi, is my king’s guess correct?”

Xu Qingnian analyzed the situation to the letter, he opened his mouth earnestly and spoke out all the problems involved.

Why he had despised the White-clothed Sect before was actually because of the above two points.

One was that a rebellious organisation, when the empress was weak, could not even rebel, and now that the Great Wei was in its prime, the White Clothes Sect could not even think of rebellion.

At first, Xu Qingnian thought that the White Clothes Clan had completely defected to Ji Yuan, but later she found out that Ji Yuan had nothing to do with the White Clothes Clan.

Combining these two points, Xu Qingnian realised that the White-Clothed Sect was definitely not as simple as she thought.

Most likely, the master of the White-Clothed Sect was the person behind the curtain, a fifth-generation saint, or a fourth-generation saint.

Only this person could truly influence the whole world, otherwise, Xu Qingnian really did not know who could have the ability to plant so many spies and have his own people everywhere.

But who was it, Xu Qingnian still did not know.

Either it was a fifth-generation saint or a fourth-generation saint, and it was a 50/50 chance of choosing one of them.

But Xu Qingnian knew deep down that he could not guess blindly, it was fine if he guessed correctly, but if he guessed wrongly, it would be troublesome.

The other side is laying the groundwork.

To this extent, both sides were actually playing a final game, and no detail could be lost.

If you make a wrong move, you will be doomed.

If the other side takes one wrong step, all the planning of a lifetime may be turned into nothing.

Thinking back, I have never made a wrong move.

If I had made a wrong move before, I would have died.

Now, the death would be even faster.

Sensing Xu Qingnian’s change in attitude, Luo Baiyi’s expression was somewhat downcast, and there was something complicated in her eyes.

Indeed, she had fallen in love with Xu Qingnian, although they had only met a few times, she had fallen in love with Xu Qingnian.

For the past twenty years, she had always been the only one, part of her was treated as a pawn, while part of her was treated as a herdsman, with all kinds of emotions.

But Xu Qingnian was the only one who was different; he carried an unusual heart and made friends with himself.

Consider yourself as a friend.

It was just that her body could not help itself, making her choose to become the antagonist with Xu Qingnian.

Now, in the face of Xu Qingnian’s question, Luo Baiyi was silent for a long time before

She looked at Xu Qingnian and said.

“Your Majesty, there are some things that I indeed do not know.”

“Even if I know, I cannot say anything, not because I fear death, but I owe them too much, I cannot do it.”

This was Luo Baiyi’s reply.

She had been adopted by them since she was young, and her heart had been planted since she was a child, so she would not betray the people behind her.

When faced with Xu Qingnian, she could only give up her emotions as well.

Hearing these words, Xu Qingnian was somewhat silent.

He understood the hearts of people and understood Luo Baiyi’s hardship.

Unfortunately, Luo Baiyi stood in opposition to himself.

In a flash, killing intent appeared in his mind, Xu Qingnian looked at Luo Baiyi, and there was killing intent in his eyes.

Not hatred, but pure killing intent.

Seemingly sensing Xu Qingnian’s killing intent, Luo Baiyi did not close his eyes in the usual way, but quietly looked at Xu Qingnian.

It seemed to want to remember Xu Qingnian’s appearance.

But, after a full quarter of an hour had pa*sed.

Xu Qingnian sighed.

Looking at Luo Baiyi, she said.

“Actually, we could have been very good friends.”

There was disappointment and some loss in Xu Qingnian’s eyes; he did indeed consider Luo Baiyi as a friend.

No one might believe it when he said it, but in the past two years, since he had entered the capital, apart from the imperial palace, the place Xu Qingnian had visited the most was the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

Because, he was lonely, and so was Luo Baiyi, both of them were miserable people.

This sentiment was odd, perhaps because of mutual pity, so Xu Qingnian had an innate good feeling for Luo Baiyi.

Otherwise, Xu Qingnian would not have come to the Peach Blossom Nunnery every now and then.

There are many beautiful women in the world, and with Xu Qingnian’s status and talent, it is not difficult to find a beautiful woman.

However, Luo Baiyi was the only one who made Xu Qingnian feel at ease.

So.

Xu Qingnian did not really kill her, but only left these words behind and was about to leave.

But, just as Xu Qingnian was leaving, Luo Baiyi’s voice rang out.

“Your Highness.”

“If I hadn’t planted a demonic seal on you, between you and me, would it be possible.”

Luo Baiyi spoke out, she asked Xu Qingnian, this was the question in her mind and she wanted to ask this clearly.

Hearing these words.

Xu Qingnian was slightly silent.

After thinking for a while.

Xu Qingnian slowly spoke.

“Perhaps it’s possible.”

“But I’m not sure.”

“I don’t care about a person’s birth, it’s just that between you and me, it’s no longer possible.”

“If the next time I see you again, you are still like this, don’t blame me.”

This was Xu Qingnian’s reply.

He knew that Luo Baiyi had liked himself, but Xu Qingnian thought it was more like, two people who were lonely at heart, just looking for someone similar.

Whether or not there was a possibility of being together was not a question Xu Qingnian pondered.

Because this kind of thing is all unknown.

All that could be said was that Xu Qingnian didn’t care about this claim to fame, as long as Luo Baiyi was intact, he didn’t care about Luo Baiyi’s identity.

But now it was impossible, Luo Baiyi owed too much to the person behind the curtain, and she was destined to be her own enemy.

To let Luo Baiyi go was the only sensibility in Xu Qingnian’s heart.

If she were colder and more ruthless, Xu Qingnian would have killed her.

The words fell.

Xu Qingnian turned around and left, he didn’t hold back any thoughts.

Luo Baiyi’s eyes instantly lost all lustre as she sat dumbly on the bed.

Looking at Xu Qingnian who had left.

She had been alone for twenty years, like a living dead person.

But now, the only friend, leaving like this, was a fatal blow to her.

Especially, she had indirectly harmed this friend, there was a loss, there was hardness, and more than that, there was helplessness.

Tears fall silent.

After today’s farewell, the two of them had completely disappeared, and she believed what Xu Qingnian had said.

If they met again next time, there was a good chance that Xu Qingnian would make a move.

But she didn’t care about that.

What she cared about more was Xu Qingnian.

The next moment.

Outside the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

Xu Qingnian’s pace was calm as he walked along the street, his figure so fast that no one could clearly see Xu Qingnian’s pace.

After a while, Xu Qingnian returned to the royal residence.

He came to the secret room.

He sat alone in silence.

The matter of Luo Baiyi did not bring him any influence or trouble.

To be honest, it was just a bit hard to feel.

He also lamented that fate was unpredictable.

It was just that, on the bright side, he was not considered to have been kept in the dark and had discovered this in advance.

But soon, Xu Qingnian took out a dossier from the secret room.

It was the imperial scroll.

Within the dossier, there was a record of the imperial lineage.

Three generations of kings, marquises, all of them were within this dossier.

He was investigating.

A thorough investigation into who it really was.

The White Cloth Sect Master is inevitably linked to those behind the Great Wei.

Valley/span and the person who can do this is definitely not an idle person, and must have great power and status in the dynasty.

And so it goes.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have pa*sed.

In these seven days, Xu Qingnian investigated one by one, and eventually locked in people, up to dozens of people.

And basically, they were all, after Emperor Wen.

The last three generations of the Great Wei.

Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu, and the Empress.

The female emperor’s generation can basically be ignored, there are no outstanding people in this generation, and if there were, it would not be Ji Ling’s turn to take the throne.

Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that someone is hiding, and it’s probably not very realistic for the person who set up this kind of game to hide even if they are.

Dozens of targets, basically all of them from the Martial Emperor’s generation.

Without checking, Xu Qingnian discovered that Emperor Wu’s generation was really full of talents.

After Emperor Wen, there were seventeen sons.

Almost every one of them was no ordinary person.

Among them was a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, who was about to become a half-saint.

And there were also several martial artists, not weaker than the Martial Emperor, but the Martial Emperor was the first to arrive at the second rank.

So this could be one of the important choices to succeed the throne.

Of these dozens of princes, half are in other places in the clan, and three have died.

One of the most distinguished, a fifth-ranking Confucian and third-ranking Martial Emperor, was the most likely being to become emperor in the first place.

But it was eventually taken away from him by Emperor Wu.

And this one, less than two years after Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, died of a heart attack.

Prince Taiyuan.

This was somewhat odd, attracting Xu Qingnian’s target.

There was clearly something wrong with this.

Only, just as Xu Qingnian was pondering.

The voice of the Dan God Ancient Scripture could not help but ring out.

“The dan has been practiced.”

As the Dan God’s Ancient Scripture’s voice rang out, Xu Qingnian immediately woke up from his thoughts before getting up and accepting the First Grade Realm Breaking Dan.

The First Grade Realm Breaking Dan diffused a wisp of Martial Dao Qi, while the voice of the Dan God’s Ancient Scripture sounded out.

“Kid, without the appropriate ingredients, this First Grade Realm Breaking Pill is still problematic, only a Second Grade martial artist of the Ding Sheng realm can break through to the First Grade with the help of this pill.”

“And it will take close to three months to digest, it is impossible to break through directly.”

Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke, the ingredients Xu Qingnian had given were not complete, although the main ingredients were there, the other ingredients had not been put together.

So the effect wasn’t the best kind.

But for Xu Qingnian, it was enough.

“Thank you, senior.”

Xu Qingnian gave a thank you, and then accepted the elixir.

“I say, little friend, are you really going to search for the Central Continent Immortal Collection, not that I am saying unlucky things, when the Martial Emperor first broke through the first rank, he was by definition also a worldly powerhouse.”

“But after a trip to the Midcontinent Immortal Collection, he is no longer a human being, no longer a ghost, it is completely wrong for you to go to that place.”

Dan Shen Gu Jing said so.

“It’s death even if you don’t go, there might be a chance of survival if you do.”

Xu Qingnian gave his reply.

He also knew that the Central Continent Immortal Hidden had a shocking mystery, and if he was unlucky, he might actually die somewhere.

But it was better than being caught with your hands tied. Xu Qingnian did not like to fight, but he was definitely not afraid of fighting either.

Ever since he came to this world, Xu Qingnian had been fighting, every step of the way, if he didn’t fight, he would have died years ago.

“Ugh.”

“Then can you not take me with you.”

Dan Shen Gu Jing said what was in his heart.

“I can’t.”

Xu Qingnian shook his head, and he answered firmly, straight away, that he could not.

Dan Shen Gu Jing must know something, bringing him along might save his life at a critical moment.

“Why?”

“What do you bring old man with you for? What use is old me, old me is just a useless alchemist ah.”

Dan Shen Gu Jing was really depressed.

He really didn’t want to go to some ghost Middle Continent Immortal Collection.

“Senior, why are you so resistant? Since you yourself have said that you are a dan refining weapon, no matter how terrifying the Midcontinent Immortal Collection is, it can’t hurt you, right?”

Xu Qingnian was also curious now, this Dan God Ancient Scripture had a mysterious origin and hid secrets.

“Yes, it can’t hurt me, but what if you die in the Midcontinent Immortal Hidden, then what will I do? That kind of place, no one will go there for hundreds of years, and if you die later, won’t I have to wait for thousands of years before I meet the next person?”

Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke from the heart.

He wasn’t afraid of dying, because he couldn’t die.

But what he was worried about was that if Xu Qingnian died in that place, it would not be a good thing for himself.

When he had hidden him in the Martial Emperor’s tomb, he had waited for decades, and now if he stayed in the Midcontinent Immortal Collection.

Even if someone knew about it, they wouldn’t dare to risk their lives.

This was his real worry.

After understanding Dan Shen Ancient Scripture’s worry, Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but frown as he looked at Dan Shen Ancient Scripture and said.

“Senior, what exactly is your origin?”

Xu Qingnian could not help but be curious.

Hearing these words, the Dan God Ancient Scripture quieted down.

He did not seem to want to answer this question.

But, after a while, the Dan God Ancient Scripture spoke out.

“If I tell you, can you not take me away?”

He asked.

“Can.”

Xu Qingnian nodded.

It was just a pity that the Dan God Ancient Scripture did not fall for it.

“Do you think I believe it?”

The latter spoke, causing Xu Qingnian to be a little disappointed.

He had not expected that the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture would not believe in him, which made it a little hard to bear.

He was at least a sub-sage, did he not have this degree of credibility?

“Forget it, if I don’t say it, then I won’t say it, anyway, no matter what, I will bring senior along.”

Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything, and directly took the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture with him, before leaving inside the secret room.

“Little friend, I’d like to advise you one last time, don’t take any risks if there’s nothing wrong, it’s unnecessary, although you have a demonic seal inside you, it’s not like it can’t be dissolved.”

Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke out.

“Senior has any way to dissolve it?”

Xu Qingnian asked.

If the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture had a way to dissolve it, then there was indeed no need to take the risk.

“There is definitely a way, but I don’t know, it involves a blind spot in my knowledge.”

Dan Shen Ancient Scripture said with some embarra*sment.

Xu Qingnian: “…….”

Xu Qingnian didn’t nag Dan Shen Ancient Scripture anymore, instead he got up and left, heading towards the outside of the secret room.

The next moment.

Xu Qingnian disappeared into the same place.

It appeared inside a secret room.

In the secret chamber, the Ninety Nine and Eighty One Demon Subjugation Formations were inscribed.

In the centre of the formation, a human figure sat coiled up.

It was the figure of Wu Ming.

He was in deathly seclusion, clearing the demonic Qi from his body.

In the whole of Great Wei, apart from the empress, no one knew where Wu Ming was.

And it was with the help of the token that Wu Ming had given himself that Xu Qingnian had found his way here.

At this moment.

Wu Ming’s body was filled with devilish Qi, which surrounded his body and looked terrifying.

There was no nonsense.

Xu Qingnian placed his palm behind Wu Ming and sucked in the demonic Qi within Wu Ming’s body.

In an instant, all the demonic Qi surged into itself.

These demonic qi wrapped around Wu Ming’s body, causing Wu Ming to be held back from time to time.

“Little friend, have you gone mad?”

“What are you doing introducing so much devil Qi within yourself?”

“Want to seek death?”

Dan Shen Gu Jing couldn’t help but speak up, he could tell at a glance that the demonic Qi within Wu Ming’s body was terrifying, it was extreme Yin power.

This kind of thing, if a normal person touched a bit of it, they would have to lose their mind.

Xu Qingnian had actually introduced all of it into his own body.

“It’s no harm.”

However, Xu Qingnian appeared very casual and did not have any fear, but instead increased her efforts to absorb this demonic energy.

At the same time, Xu Qingnian noticed that the accumulation of demonic Qi in Wu Ming’s body was so severe that it had even invaded into the bone marrow.

This was terrifying, and if it wasn’t cleared out sooner, Wu Ming would die in the devilish Qi sooner or later.

Boom.

The terrifying demonic Qi all surged into Xu Qingnian’s body.

The Three Demon Seals frantically devoured this demonic qi.

It was as if the earth, which had been dry for a long time, was irrigated by rain.

However, the First Grade Seal within Xu Qingnian’s body suppressed the Three Demon Seal at all times, which, coupled with the suppression of the Heaven and Earth Cultural Palace, caused the Three Demon Seal to be unable to explode up.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Xu Qingnian’s forehead was already dripping with sweat, while Wu Ming also woke up in the middle of his seclusion.

In a flash.

Wu Ming sensed Xu Qingnian’s aura and understood why the demonic Qi in his body had suddenly disappeared.

“Shouren.”

Wu Ming opened his mouth, wanting to persuade something.

But Xu Qingnian’s voice immediately rang out, interrupting what Wu Ming said next.

“Master, my apprentice’s body has already condensed the Three Demon Seals, absorbing these demonic qi is nothing, it can help you, and it won’t affect me much.”

“No need to say more, Great Wei needs you.”

Xu Qingnian spoke.

Speaking very directly, not giving Wu Ming any chance, he directly drew out all the deepest demonic Qi.

At that moment.

Wu Ming ran his Extreme Martial Power to completely and utterly eliminate all of this demonic Qi.

“Roar.”

A dull roar rang out as Wu Ming’s limbs spread out, his body soothed.

He had suppressed the immortal corpse and the demonic qi had drilled into his bone marrow, severely affecting his strength, and now that these demonic qi had completely disappeared, it was a boost in disguise for him.

Not to say that he was a supreme martial emperor, but he was still halfway there.

After a venting-like roar.

Wu Ming immediately got up and looked towards Xu Qingnian.

“Shouren, why are you doing this?”

He looked at Xu Qingnian, his eyes filled with doubt.

“Master, there are many things that my apprentice cannot explain in a few words.”

“I am leaving to search for the Central Continent Immortal Treasure, and this trip may not return, right now, Great Wei has condensed the Dragon Cauldron of the Central Continent, and it has reached the most critical moment, so I need Master to step in to hold Great Wei in check.”

“This is a First Grade Realm Breaking Pill, which will allow a peak second grade martial artist to break through to only the first grade within three months.”

“If necessary, add another First Grade to my Great Wei, counting Senior Uncle, and a First Grade Divine Martial Cannon, Great Wei is sufficient to defend itself in the midst of great turmoil.”

As if giving an afterthought, Xu Qingnian handed the First Grade Realm Breaking Pill to Wu Ming.

This was Xu Qingnian’s final preparation.

“The Middle Continent Immortal Collection?”

“I will accompany you there.”

Wu Ming spoke out, he did not know how dangerous the Mid Continent Immortal Hidden was, but he wanted to go with Xu Qingnian and protect Xu Qingnian’s path.

“No need.”

“Master, this is extremely risky, if I die, Great Wei will still have you, if you and I are both gone, Great Wei will really be finished.”

Xu Qingnian shook his head.

It wasn’t that he was thinking of Great Wei, the main thing was that it didn’t make much sense for Wu Ming to go or not.

If he could solve it himself, he could definitely solve it.

If he couldn’t solve it himself, there was not much point in having an extra First Grade.

On the contrary, it would drag Wu Ming down.

“Must we go?”

Wu Ming was not a pretentious person, and he could hear Xu Qingnian’s attitude, so he changed his meaning.

“En, must go.”

Xu Qingnian said with certainty.

When the words came out, Wu Ming could not help but let out a long sigh.

He understood that Xu Qingnian must have his hardships in deciding like this.

There was nothing more to say since he had thought of the matter to this point.

“When are you going?”

Wu Ming asked.

“Immediately.”

Xu Qingnian spoke.

At that moment, Wu Ming fell silent.

After a while, Wu Ming sighed.

“Is there anything else that I need to do for Master?”

Wu Ming asked.

“There is a person hiding in Great Wei that has been in the shadows, and my apprentice guesses that it is likely to be someone from the royal family.”

“Exactly who it is, my apprentice does not know, so I beg Master to investigate secretly.”

Xu Qingnian uttered these words.

“Alright, I understand.”

Wu Ming nodded his head.

“Then there’s nothing else, Master, I’ll leave first.”

When he reached this point, Xu Qingnian left directly without speaking.

“My master will wait for you in Great Wei.”

Looking at the departing Xu Qingnian, Wu Ming did not say much more, but only spoke like this.

Soon, Xu Qingnian left and rushed towards the Western Continent.

He was going to the Little Thunder Sound Temple.

To unlock the secret of the Martial Emperor.

Just before leaving Great Wei, a piece of news came.

Luo Baiyi had killed himself at the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

The news came, causing Xu Qingnian to freeze.
