Chapter 120
Chapter 120
Unprepared, he confronted the Underworld Emperor. Although it was only for a moment, it was already clear to Xie Xie.
No matter how long he hibernates, in the eyes of the other party, he may not even compare to an insignificant speck of dust in the air.
The sense of powerlessness that even the soul seems to be oppressed, unable to escape or resist, and the fear emanating from within, immediately made Xie Xie dare not stay in Cangzhou City for another second.
·
"Then where did he go?"
Chu Chaoan frowned slightly, and while speaking, shifted his gaze a few inches to look at Emperor Ming who said this.
Since he was not here, where did he go?
However, before anyone could answer, Lie Yun on the side had already opened the mouth and said: "Since Yan Xie is not here, let's follow the original plan and bring Murong Bo here first."
This time, it has been made clear that there is indeed a connection between Murong Bo and Xie Xie.
Hearing this, Chu Chaoan did not object.
If it hadn't been for Xie Xi who showed up just now, it would not be difficult for him to bring Murong Bo back smoothly.
Although the ghost miasma in the latter's body was cleared, it has not recovered to its peak stage, which Chu Chaoan still knows.
As Lie Yun said, in the end, several people went to Murong's family again, trying to bring Murong Bo back, to see if they could pry something out of the other party's mouth.
Everyone has been able to confirm that the first thing released from Murong's family home was used by Murong Bo to contact Xie Xie.
……
This time, the process of taking Murong Bo away went very smoothly.
It was Lie Yun who opened the barrier outside, and Chu Chaoan and Yan Lang went in together, without encountering anyone else, the two easily arrived outside Murong Bo's room.
Looking at the room, Chu Chaoan looked sideways and said to Yanlang, "This is it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside.
Murong Bo's thin figure appeared at the door.
He has been paying attention to the movement outside the door all the time, the moment Chu Chaoan and Yan Lang approached, Murong Bo had already noticed something.
"It's finally here." A voice sounded like a low sigh, but it seemed to be mixed with some unknown deep emotions, as if it had been expected that someone would come.
Chu Chaoan and Yan Lang paused when they saw Murong Boju who came out proactively, and then, Chu Chaoan's gaze shifted a few inches, and landed on the progress bar that was slowly approaching from one side.
'40%'.
It's Murong Huan.
At the same time, Yan Lang, who sensed someone approaching, also turned his head to look, and happened to see Murong Huan who had already walked this way.
"Huan, Er?" Murong Bo saw him coming, his voice was delayed for a few seconds.
However, Murong Huan didn't say anything to him, his eyes fell directly on Chu Chaoan and Yan Lang, he cupped his hands, and said very politely: "You two have come from a long way and don't know why, can you tell Yu Huan?"
His tone was very polite, as if Chu Chaoan and Chu Chaoan were really here as guests.
Murong Bo, who was not able to get a response, looked lonely.
Chu Chaoan raised his eyebrows, did not answer, and then looked at Murong Bo.
Murong Bo, who could roughly guess their intention, paused, and said, "I'll go with you."
As early as the first time he met that ghost cultivator, Murong Bo thought of today.
It's all retribution.
Murong Huan paused, and was about to turn his head to look at Murong Bo, when at this moment, another female voice came from behind him.
"Ah Hwan."
Murong Qing's voice sounded behind several people.
***
In the end, without any effort, Murong Bo voluntarily left with Chu Chaoan and Yan Lang, without disturbing the rest of Murong's family.
"He asked for it." Seeing Murong Bo being taken away, Murong Qing slowly opened and closed his red lips, his clear and beautiful voice carried obvious indifference.
Murong Huan, who was standing beside her, did not make a sound, and after a while, he slowly lowered his long eyelashes.
·
He had known for a long time that it was not easy to cooperate with him, and cooperating with him was no less than seeking skin from a tiger. When the other party threw the ghost miasma on him, Murong Bo did not show any surprise.
Everything starts with just one transaction.
"I don't know the identity of that person." When Murong Bo was brought into the private room, he could sense the deeper and stronger threats from everyone in the room. "Every time, the other party came here."
It was 20 years ago that Feng Xie appeared in the realm of comprehension.
At the same time, a massacre caused by the Netherworld Stone also happened 20 years ago.
"Back then, the five great families checked and balanced each other, and the Chu family seemed to take the lead. Among them, the Qi family was the turning point for all the things that happened afterwards." Murong Bo slowly said.
Lie Yun didn't have much interest in these things, he propped his cheeks to watch without interest, and was about to raise his hand to interrupt.
Chu Chaoan, who was sitting beside him, glanced at him.
Seeing this, Lie Yun put down his hands and continued to listen to him.
Murong Bo doesn't know the identities of the people in the private room, but he can also confirm that their identities are extraordinary.After planning half his life and going through another experience, life and death have long been ignored by him, so he told all the events of the year.
……
Chu Chaoan never thought of it.
The fact that the Qi family was exterminated while practicing forbidden techniques was just the beginning of a conspiracy.
It is true that the Mingyin stone was thrown into the Qi family, and all of this was a deal with the devil made by the new head of the Murong family who took office at the time.
When Murong's family was in decline, Murong Bo, who was eager to show off when he came to power, just happened to find Xie Xie who came out of the underworld and planned to plan secretly.
The Nether Yin Stone hidden by the Qi family, and Qi's father's irresistible temptation to practice, became the reason why the five great families jointly exterminated the Qi family, and it was also due to Murong Bo's careful plan to carve up a prominent family.
Murong Bo, who had successfully secured his position as Patriarch, originally wanted to secretly take back the Netherworld Stone, but he never thought that the young master of the Qi family who was secretly sent away was actually a man with tricks.
After the silence, he actually took the Nether Yin Stone and threw it under the family of Xiahou's family.
Originally, relying on the nepotism with Xiahou's family, the status of Murong's family was also able to survive. Regarding Qi Wenran's actions, Murong Bo was naturally happy to see it succeed.
Even faintly pushed from behind, as the Chu clan who almost became the head of the family at that time, became the first to be brought down.
But Murong Bo obviously underestimated Qi Wenran's ability, he didn't expect the Xiahou family to become the second Chu family so soon, and even the Ouyang family followed suit.
Then the identity of the person behind the Xilu Inn was revealed, but things were far more complicated than he thought.
What Qi Wenran hated was the whole family.
Whether it is the Chu family, Xiahou, Ouyang, or the Murong family and the Dongfang family, they are all within the scope of his revenge.
Murong Bo panicked, so he planned to take another risk and find Feng Xie.
The final result can be imagined.
Does it mean that he will help if he says he will help? Murong Bo back then was just a stepping stone for him.
Murong Bo had no way of knowing that Xie Xie openly provoked the Underworld Emperor in the underworld, and the time when he found Xie Xie again was exactly the time when Xie Xie came out of the dark area of the underworld.
……
All in all, Murong Bo did it on his own.
Chu Chaoan snorted, "Patriarch Murong has a good method."
Thinking that this person was brought back from the ghost gate by him, Chu Chao'an suddenly felt a bit of psychological discomfort, if it wasn't for Murong Huan...
Speaking of Murong Huan who specially asked the ghost doctor to treat Murong Bo, Chu Chaoan pondered again.
Judging from Murong Huan's attitude, he treated Murong Bo honestly, presumably he understood a little bit of the inside story.
But the other party should only know one thing and not the other, otherwise they wouldn't let the ghost doctor save him.
However, he later acquiesced in Murong Qing's approach, which made Chu Chaoan a little confused about Murong Huan's thoughts. It is conceivable what kind of environment he lived in to stand out from Murong Bo's many sons.
Coupled with Murong Bo's methods...
The only thing Chu Chaoan could see was that.
Murong Huan also hated Murong Bo.
The yin and miasma in the former proved that Murong Bo didn't love his son that much.
Tiger poison doesn't even eat babies, but this Murong Bo's heart is completely dark.
"Tsk, if you want me to say, you are really courageous." After Chu Chaoan finished speaking, Lie Yun also walked towards Murong Bo, as if thinking of something, he suddenly laughed, "You are willing to obediently come with us, because you are afraid Shall I find you again?"
The feeling of being eroded by ghost miasma must be uncomfortable.
Murong Bo, who had already convinced himself that 'death is not terrible', seemed to be suddenly pierced by that illusion, and his face twitched faintly.
Chu Chaoan also wanted to understand, and burst out laughing.
People's hearts are complicated, this is true.
When he smiled, the attention of the rest of the room was instantly drawn.
……
Seeing through that these people must be looking for Xie Xie, not himself, Murong Bo followed them with a hint of luck.
This person is not something he can deal with, and even hypocrisy and obedience are just expedient measures.
From today when Xie Xie followed these recruits and did not come back in the end, Murong Bo knew that Chu Chao'an and others would definitely be able to contend with Xie Xie.
This is also the reason why he will follow easily.
However, at this moment, Murong Bo became less sure again.
Follow yourself, whether it is right or wrong.
At the same time, Chu Chaoan's cold voice sounded, and the laughter stopped a second before he could speak, "Do you want to get rid of Xiao Xie?"
Murong Bo looked at Chu Chaoan who was directly in front of him, his face was haggard due to the torment of ghosts, his eyes occupied by all kinds of desires looked straight at Chu Chaoan.
What was written in his eyes was a bright affirmative answer.
Before Chu Chaoan could answer, Lie Yun slapped the table and said, "What a shameless old bastard."
After secretly holding back for a long time, he also said at the door, "It's too inhuman."
The atmosphere in the room changed for a moment, Murong Bo had a bad heart, these people would never keep him because of his honesty.
In fact, if it were the demons under the old demon venerable, they might give him a word of appreciation.
And Ting Xu treats Murong Bo with indifference, seeing that Chu Chaoan's expression is not right at the moment, he immediately agrees, "The kid is upset, why don't I deal with him."
Hearing this sentence suddenly, Murong Bo immediately glared at the man in pale pink long-sleeved fancy dress leaning crookedly over there, "I've already said what you want to know."
As if thinking of something, Murong Bo said again: "Are you ghost cultivators?"
……
Daring to hook up with Xie Xie at that time, Murong Bo's courage is naturally beyond imagination.
Thinking he had guessed the truth, Murong Bo said, "I can cooperate with you to lure Xie out."
After that, he tried to add a few more words, but the moment he was about to speak again, he was suddenly interrupted.
But the person who spoke had already sat up from his seat, dressed in black clothes, the girdle with red moiré patterns outlined his thin waistline, his black hair was tied high, and he looked at him sharply.
"Cooperation?"
Chu Chaoan pulled the corner of his lips, and said in a cold voice, "You deserve it too?"
It's pathetic.
These words surfaced in Yin Feng's heart, and he didn't weigh himself as something.
If Murong Bo really had this self-knowledge, he wouldn't dare to go to Feng Xie again after the ghost miasma in his body was removed, and take risks again and again.
In fact, if Chu Chaoan and others hadn't interrupted at that time, Xie Xie would have used Murong Bo again.
It's just that no one expected that what happened next was too unexpected.
"What do you think?" Murong Bo held his breath, "My son saw you bring me out with my own eyes. If you don't want to provoke the relationship between the cultivation world and the underworld, it's better not to act rashly."
The ghost cultivator of the underworld has caused chaos in the cultivation world, which caused all the masters in the cultivation world to hold a comprehension conference together, preparing to discuss an explanation with the underworld. If he appears again...
Murong Bo expressed his thoughts one by one, "I can pretend that what happened today never happened."
He didn't think that what he said just now would have any impact, they were just verbal words, and there was no proof that he had a substantial connection with Ghost Cultivator.
So Murong Bo became a little bit confident.
Anfeng spat silently: "It's really despicable."
After cursing, he looked at the guardian again.
Seeing Chu Chaoan sneer suddenly, he said: "Underworld Emperor."
……
Murong Bo, who was originally confident, suddenly heard the person in front of him yelling such a sentence, his heart skipped a beat.
Underworld... Underworld Emperor?
Regardless of Murong Bo's shocking reaction, Chu Chaoan glanced at Emperor Ming from afar and raised his eyebrows, "Surely Emperor Ming is not afraid of confronting the realm of comprehension, right?"
As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth, "I'll praise you for being brave if you dare to come today."
Seeing that Murong Bo's face looked like a palette of overturned paint, turning blue and purple, Chu Chaoan smiled and said, "But, yes."
"But there is no answer." After the words fell, Chu Chaoan raised his wrist, and a seventeen-section black bone whip flashed in his hand, threatening to sweep away.
Seeing this scene, Murong Bo immediately opened his eyes wide, but when he wanted to move, he found that he suddenly couldn't move.
Chu Chaoan glanced sideways, then retracted his gaze, and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Hearing this, Murong Bo swallowed his saliva.
Emperor Hades... the Lord.
Who are the people in this small room!
The masters of the two realms are actually gathered here, the more Murong Bo thought about it, the more frightened he became, his legs started to go weak with fright.
"It happens that Qi Sha didn't catch him, so I'll take you first," Lie Yun said carelessly at this moment, "Remember to keep your eyes bright in your next life, not everyone can threaten you."
***
The next day, in the restaurant lobby.
Noisy voices can be heard endlessly, and the discussions of casual cultivators spread everywhere.
"The Patriarch of the Murong Family really colluded with Ghost Cultivator!"
"Fellow Daoist, why did you say that? I remember Patriarch Murong clarified this matter yesterday."
"Hey, you are behind in this news."
When Chu Chaoan walked out of the restaurant, he happened to hear a few casual cultivators talking about the major events that happened today.
"Oh? What news?"
The monk hurriedly asked, and the curiosity in his heart was aroused.
"What news can there be!" Another monk slowly picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and continued in a slow voice, "The person who said yesterday that he didn't have a serious illness is lying in bed today!
"In the morning, the various sects sent people to the Murong family... whoever made the Murong patriarch say that he would personally find out the poisoned ghost cultivator with the big guys. The leader was the big disciple of the Tianjian sect. He saw it with his own eyes. Patriarch Murong is suffering from the same disease as the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
……
Yesterday Chu Chaoan didn't do anything to Murong Bo, but he just stuffed the ghost miasma that he had pulled out with his own hands back into Murong Bo's body, it was his own fault.
Chu Chaoan didn't think he was a good person, but he definitely couldn't understand Murong Bo's treacherous and evil people, since he personally pulled people back from the gate of hell, and then sent them in himself.
This is what Murong Bo deserved.
So many people died because of him, he deserves atonement.
Now the ghost miasma in Murong Bo's body is still diluted, it is guaranteed to torture him until the end of his life, unable to speak or act, the same as when 'Xuanli' saw him that day.
……
The Murong family had ups and downs, but fortunately Murong Huan came forward to explain in time, the collusion between ghost cultivators was a fiction, and he invited the big disciple of Tianjianmen to explain.
Those who suffer from this disease can only be paralyzed in bed, but Murong Bo was fine yesterday, which is enough to prove that he did not suffer from the disease before.
It is not unreasonable for the disciples of Tianjianmen and the other major sects, and the facts are true, so they did not pursue the matter further, and Murong Huan and the members of the major sects will find the murderer.
This fact caused a lot of trouble, and it was caused by ghost cultivators, so many people wanted to discuss with the underworld for an explanation.
Right now, people from several great families and major sects have sent people to Chao Yanzong.
Now that there is chaos in the cultivation world, how can Chao Yanzong, who is the head of the immortal sect, stay out of it.
So in less than half a day, news came from someone, after several casual cultivators finished discussing the Murong family, they started discussing this matter.
"The results of the Cultivation World Conference have come out, Wang Jun Xianzun will arrive in Cangzhou City in a few days!"
"I've also heard that if the murderer cannot be found by then, the Immortal Venerable will go to the underworld, and the underworld will give an explanation."
"That's how it should be. For many years, I have never heard of ghost cultivators causing such a big mess in the cultivation world!"
"Yeah, the last time was..."
When the few people said this, they stopped talking and mentioned other things in a blink of an eye.
"Just now I found out that the Xilu Inn will start tomorrow, and the head elders of the various sects will come in, and all drinks and accommodations will be free! If you ask me, Mr. Qi is too good at business."
"That's right, I'm afraid Wang Jun Xianzun will live in Xilu Inn by then... Also, only a grand inn like Xilu Inn can allow Xianzun Yuzun to stay..."
Chu Chaoan didn't listen to the rest of the words.
It's just a place to live, nothing to say.
If these people are told who are sitting in the private room on the second floor of this little-known restaurant, it may scare their spirits away.
……
Chu Chaoan thought casually in his heart, and then strode away from the restaurant.
It was very difficult to tell Lie Yun, Ting Xu and the others not to follow, and they still did not leave in the private room, it was all because Emperor Ming said again that although the location of Feng Xie was not in the Murong family, he did not leave Cangzhou City.
I don't know what he was planning to do in Cangzhou City, but he didn't leave.
However, it was really convenient for them not to leave. Qi Yue had let Ying Ying and the rest of the demons continue to guard Cangzhou City.
When necessary, it is also possible to expose the identity and seal the entire Cangzhou city with only entry and no exit.
Chu Chaoan could only express his admiration for this.
A supreme demon, a lord of the nether world, indeed has such ability.
This is the first time in tens of thousands of years that the demon world and the underworld can coexist in one room so peacefully, and the two of them are truly responsible, Chu Chaoan thought.
·
After leaving the restaurant, Chu Chaoan went out of Cangzhou City first. What he considered was that Emperor Hades and Mozun were both here, so it must be far away.
On the way out of Cangzhou City, Chu Chaoan was still wondering where Chique would go, and he needed to find him later.
In the end, I was lucky again, fortunately, the matter between Xie Xie and Qi Sha had come to an end for the time being, otherwise Chu Chaoan would not be able to resist Feng Qing who was about to reach the realm of cultivation.
After changing his identity, he entered the city again.
Thinking that Chique left yesterday because he saw Qi Wenran, Chu Chaoan thought about it, and decided to go directly to Xilu Inn, maybe the other party would be there.
Thinking of this, Chu Chaoan didn't delay, and quickly headed towards Xilu Inn.
After a while, we arrived at Xilu Inn and stood on the street.
Perhaps it was because most of the disciples from the major sects who stayed in Cangzhou City lived here, so there was a lot of people.
……
Chu Chaoan stood outside the Xilu Inn, thought for a while, and then used a tiny bit of consciousness to perceive the location of the red bird, but he found nothing for a long time.
From a distance, there is no progress bar.
"The red bird isn't here?" Chu Chaoan frowned and murmured softly.
If Chique is not there, so what if Feng Qing finds it, because Feng Qing thinks that the two of them are together.
I'm really afraid of what's coming.
Just as Chu Chaoan finished thinking, a red jade flashed at his waist, and the scorching heat scalded him.
The red cherry stone moved, it was Feng Qing who was contacting him, Chu Chaoan untied the red jade stone from his waist, raised his hand and input the demon power.
Feng Qing's unique lazy voice quickly came from the opposite side, "Xiao Qingqing."
Chu Chaoan was calm, his voice didn't show any abnormality, and he replied: "The subordinate is here."
After a short pause, he took the initiative to ask, "Has Your Majesty arrived yet?"
When Feng Qing contacted before, Chu Chaoan didn't hear the other party ask where he and Chique were, and he wasn't sure if Feng Qing knew, so the question was a bit ambiguous.
Then I heard Feng Qing reply: "Yes."
Chu Chaoan froze, his lips moved slightly, so he had to ask him again: "Where is Your Majesty?"
Feng Qing asked without answering, "Where are you?"
In the Red Sparrow's letter, the location was not specified.
And Chu Chaoan also understood the meaning from Feng Qing's words, the latter really didn't know they were in Cangzhou City.
Chu Chaoan was about to answer when he saw a light green progress bar slowly approaching him from the corner of his eyes.
The light green progress bar shows '65%' in the small frame.
It is the red sparrow.
……
After Chu Chaoan told Feng Qing the truth about Chi Que and his location, Feng Qing came over with a slightly smiling voice, "Wait for me to come over."
"Yes." Chu Chaoan replied.
After all, the flashing red light on the red cherry stone went out. After Chu Chaoan took the red cherry stone back, he continued to turn his head to look in the direction of the red bird.
He stood at the corner of the street and looked from a distance.
Whoever is walking ahead is not Qi Wenran.
But the figure of the red bird did not appear with him.
Instead, it is not far behind Qi Wenran.
Chu Chaoan thought about it, and after Qi Wenran entered the inn, he showed his face directly.
·
Chi Que, who was following the 'enemy' to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, saw Chu Chaoan appear, and his red golden eyes lit up instantly.
"Xiaoqing!" Chique quickly dodged to Chu Chaoan.
Chu Chaoan nodded lightly with him.
Before she had time to speak, Chique immediately said: "I'll take you to see the great beauty!"
After saying this, Chique had a slightly excited smile on his face, his red golden eyes flickered slightly, and he stepped forward to take Chu Chaoan's hand.
Hearing this remark, how could Chu Chaoan let him succeed, and resolutely refused, "No."
Chique's expression froze for an instant, his eyes changed again and again, "Xiaoqing."
Chu Chaoan said with a cold face, "Your Majesty is coming soon."
The implication is still to refuse.
After finishing speaking, Chu Chaoan glanced at Chi Que again, thinking of something, he said, "Are you following someone just now?"
……
Knowing that Chique's attention tends to wander, Chu Chaoan decided to make a detour.
It's just that he won't go to that restaurant with Chique.
Sure enough, after hearing the words, Chique turned his attention to Qi Wenran and nodded.
Chu Chao'an then said persuasively, "Do you want me to accompany you to continue?"
Seeing this, Chique's eyes brightened again, "Xiaoqing accompany me."
Chu Chaoan responded, "Then let's go."
I wanted to wait for Fengqing at the Xilu Inn first.
Unexpectedly, before Feng Qing came, another person arrived first.
Wang Jun Xianzun and Chao Yanzong and his party stayed at Xilu Inn.
