Numerous moves flashed through Helian Wei Wei's mind and the vast amount of energy protected her heart. Helian Wei Wei felt like her whole body was invaded with warm water, then her whole body shook and the shape of water threw her up in mid air into the center. Her white robe moved along with the wind and her long sleeves floated. With the green trees in the background and the white clouds in the sky, it gave the feeling of a fairy had appeared.
"The sins committed by the old monk in the past will probably cause the ravages of the world. I have transferred my spiritual energy to you. I only hope that Phoenix girl can save all the people when the world is in chaos."
Chapter 237 - Flower Candle in the Cave
Helian Wei Wei fell to the ground. She saw that the old man looked like a candle that was going to burn out, completely exhausted and frail.
"The Fox Valley is about to close, you must leave as soon as possible. As you possess my spiritual energy, your journey will be a lot easier along the way. Once you have come out of the valley, walk towards the end of the cave. Keep walking to the end and you will reach the Capital. Old monk only hopes that you can make it in time."
After the old man had finished speaking, his head bowed down and his body appeared like it was dehydrated of water and turned into shining white powder. All that was left of him was a glowing buddhist bone relic.
"Take the relic."
Unexpectedly at this point, Yuan Ming made a noise in the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "What happened to you earlier?"
"The one who just died was the only surviving eminent monk over a hundred years old. With my current ability, to encounter such an eminent monk, I can only hide in the Celestial Boundary Spatial Space, otherwise, I would have only brought danger to you." Yuan Ming explained: " Now that he has gone, leaving you his last gift, this relic. Eminent monk's relic is even more precious than any elixir. After you have eaten it, your martial qi will definitely improve vastly."
Helian Wei Wei's voice was faint: " No, I won't eat it."
"Woman, you are so strange. You obviously like to use unscrupulous methods to get things done, and yet you insist against some inexplicable things." Yuan Ming's lips twitched with evil angst.
Helian Wei Wei stooped down to pick up the relic and put it on her body: "Come on, let's find our way out."
Two people walked along in the darkness. Fortunately both of them were well skilled, or they would not have been able to walk out of Fox Valley in just one short hour. However, just because they had walked out of Fox Valley did not mean things had come to an end. They still had a long long way ahead of them to walk. If they continued on this path it would become very dark. The old man had said that this path will lead them to the Capital, but he did not say where exactly.
The hole seemed to go on forever, it was so dark that you could not even see your own fingers. The surrounding was full of unknown plants and strange stones that were unusually terrifying. They looked like the face of a demon, the fangs of a blood wolf and the broken bones of a sacred demon. The corners and edges of these stones were mostly uneven, and it could be said that these stones were thorny, stone thorns!
The clothes that Helian Wei Wei had walked in with were ripped to shreds by the sharp stones. She did not care and only held onto Baili Jiajue's hand and continued to walk ahead, afraid that he would be cut.
But the sound had awoken some kind of nighttime creatures, the sound of wings flapped, the blood red dots moved excitedly. They had smelled the sweetness of the blood, they had been quiet for so long that they now began to feel exhilarated. A pair of blood red eyes stared at the intruders, ready to pounce onto them to suck their blood dry.
Helian Wei Wei squinted, a silver knife appeared in her hand, ready to fight: "Stand behind me."
"Okay." Baili Jiajue took a step back. He did not look down, but instead he stared deeply at the young girl in front of him. A hint of playfulness appeared in his smile and there was a sudden glimpse of bright light. The surroundings had not affected his darkness and coldness. The white shirt and green robes looked black at this time, wrapped around his perfectly slender figure, which made him look taller and thrilling.
His tall perfect figure held the top of the hole, his ice cold handsome face could not see anger, a pair of eyes cold as night, devoid of feelings, attracted the attention of the vampire bats. His narrow eyes through the white cloth revealed and irresistable gloom, seemingly wild and unconstrained, full of evil.
The vampire bats appeared to have sensed something and suddenly calmed down, reluctantly to approach….
While Helian Wei Wei was still pondering, Baili Jiajue spoke: "Was it the spiritual energy that the old monk passed to you that had an effect, that's why they didn't dare make a move?"
"Probably..." Helian Wei Wei was skeptical, the spiritual energy had such an effect?
Baili Jiajue's voice was faint: "So let's go quickly, otherwise what if all the spiritual energy disappears?"
"Okay." Helian Wei Wei's fingers tightened and walked forwards: "We have to go quickly. If I don't make it to tomorrow's marital qi competition, a certain Highness will kill me."
Baili Jiajue was stunned, his eyebrows raised: "Kill you? Why?"
"We have an arrangement between us." Helian Wei Wei thought for a moment: "I have to win first place in the martial qi competition."
Baili Jiajue chuckled: "Don't tell me you want to marry him."
One of Helian Wei Wei's foot slipped.
"I guessed correctly." Baili Jiajue continued talking as he walked: "It is not bad marrying him. Doesn't everyone say that he is the number one man in the Capital?"
Helian Wei Wei thought it was weird that her partner actually gave a compliment.
"Well, I don't want to marry him for that." As there was no one else here, Helian Wei Wei had reservations about what she said. Besides, talking kept them awake and they wouldn't fall asleep. The walk through the cave was very long, they had to talk about something so it wasn't boring.
Baili Jiajue's eyes closed: "Then why do you want to marry him?"
"Well." Helian Wei Wei avoided the vampire bats in front: "You don't need to know this."
A moment passed.
Baili Jiajue's face was cold and his voice slow: "You're not afraid that Third Prince will think that you are marrying him for something else?"
"He knew it from the beginning." Helian Wei Wei did not turn back: "Besides, he has his own plans for marrying me."
"Oh?" He wanted to hear what she thought he was marrying her for.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "Have you forgotten? I told you before that I think Third Prince likes men. Of course, I can't be sure, but he is in a situation where he needs a wife for convenience."
"To use you as a convenience of marriage?" The ridicule in Baili Jiajue's tone was obvious.
Helian Wei Wei heard the ridicule in his voice: "Don't belittle me, I am also very bossy."
"What about the consummation of the night of the marriage?" Baili Jiajue asked casually.
Helian Wei Wei pursed her lips: "The marriage is a contract, surely there won't be a consummation night. I doubt that the Third Prince will have much feelings before he has a drink. He just looked like a big ice cube from top to bottom."
"I think Third Prince will find what you have said very interesting." No feelings for anyone? A big ice cube?
Oh, good, very good.
He must give her a "night to remember". A fulfilling consummation night of marriage!
Chapter 238 - Wei Wei’s Spiritual Nature
Helian Jiao Er's heart was filled with more and more loathing. The two sisters were on good terms before because they knew that they would help each other in the future. In the end, they would not end up any worse. The closer they were, the more prosperous they would be.
Now, Helian Mei had obviously become the humiliation of Helian Jiao Er. She was an unmarried girl who pledged to be married to a man without
her parents' consent. Plus the family she would marry into had that sort of family background. It is uncertain what kind of things she would ask from her in the future.
Helian Mei only had this one thought and did not even try to put a stop to it. She looked on as Helian Mei drank the poisoned tea.
Anyway, the poison would not kill her and would only suppress her martial arts' qi.
The real poison could not get into the Phoenix Loft at all. Even the most solid plan could fail.
So, those people were smart enough to replace the poison with a colourless and tasteless chemical powder.
This type of chemical powder would not show any effect at first, it was even undetected in tea.
Its effect was very slow, but when it successfully penetrated, it would completely invade the whole body of the victim!
Helian Jiao Er looked down and walked slowly to the rest area. She was ready for the next game.
According to the elders' plan, they would not directly kill the Retired Emperor, because if such a thing happened, her god-like man would definitely take this matter and investigate it thoroughly.
When that time came, not only the elders who would feel the pinch but also her marriage would be affected.
At this time, the elders would try to put the Retired Emperor under house arrest or put an imposter to occupy the throne so that he could no longer speak.
Either way, it would be done in secret...
However, the people on the Phoenix Loft did not realize that a conspiracy like a dark cloud filled the whole martial qi's grand tournament.
Sitting in a wooden chair, the Retired Emperor looked at the match below. Looking sideways toward Eunuch Sun who stood next to him, he said, "Go and see what that cold-as-ice boy doing. He overslept on a day like this."
"Yes." Eunuch Sun smiled and handed out a teacup. "This is this year's new tea leaves. Taste these first and this servant will go ask."
Suddenly, something unusual seemed to be happening in the air behind him.
The Retired Emperor's complexion changed and opened his eyes!
Bang!
The wooden windows were shut close, cutting off all view from the outside.
Eunuch Sun looked up. He only saw black robes flashed past, and then he was knocked unconscious.
The Retired Emperor's eyes had a stern look in them.
The two or three ministers and the shadow guards that followed him stood up and made a barricade in front of the Emperor.
Their first reaction was to call for help, but they found that just using martial qi, their c.h.e.s.t felt stifled!
Pu!
Not only those shadow guards, even the Retired Emperor who possessed martial qi for self-defence also covered his c.h.e.s.t and reclined heavily on the wooden chair. He looked at the two old men in black robes in front of him: "You got guts!"
"Ha ha ha…"
One of the old men eerily laughed and discarded his black robe. His every move made people very uncomfortable.
"Our emperor was so clever that he started blaming us for our boldness without asking who we were or what we had come to do."
The old minister, who was lying on the ground, stood up as fast as he could, clinging to the window. "Somebody, come…"
The old man grabbed him and pinned him to the ground.
A creaking sound distinctly heard!
The old minister's neck slanted and he turned into a corpse.
People noticed that the old man's fingernails in the black robe were not like those of ordinary people at all. Their blackness made people who saw them feel cold to the core.
"Don't waste your time, old devil. Get rid of them all as soon as possible." The other old man in the black robe came over. He held the weapon in his hand and looked down at the Retired Emperor. A demonic air painted the corners of his mouth.
The Retired Emperor deserved his title, he did not panic at this time of danger, "If you kill me, you also cannot escape."
"Ha ha ha."That gruesome laughter rang again, "We never thought about killing you. We only want to replace you."
While saying this, that elder's long sleeve waved and several figures appeared behind him.
The build of those people was similar to those of the ministers who accompanied the Retired Emperor.
They even found a matching figure for Eunuch Sun who stood by the Retired Emperor.
These figures had a human skin mask in their hands.
Obviously, they wanted to kill these people, then... replace them!
Bang!
As the old man said, the martial artists were so busy competing that no one looked back at them.
Even if someone saw them, he would think that the Retired Emperor was resting or discussing important matters with his ministers.
Plus there's no sound of fighting here, so no one would notice...
The sky was getting more and more overcast, the clouds moved like a surging torrent.
In the cave, Helian Wei Wei looked at the mark she had carved before, her willowy eyebrows wrinkled.
People who didn't know would think that they had met a ghost and walked in circles.
But Helian Wei Wei clearly understood that this mystery had been set up in order to prevent the people who come here from leaving easily.
"There's something strange about this place." Helian Wei Wei paused her footsteps, and the indolent little face brought out the cautiousness that did not ordinarily show up.
The old man did not say that there would be any mystery around the exit.
Helian Wei Wei faced the left side of the wall and observed it with the help of the morning light.
That was…a dead body?
Baili Jia Jue also stopped, not because he had seen anything, for his eyes were still covered with white cloth, but because the smell of the dead body around him made him frown.
Helian Wei Wei walked over, not getting too close to the dead body, but crouched on the ground "It looks like a picture has been carved here," she said.
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows and looked down at Helian Wei Wei, his expression unchanged.
Helian Wei Wei blew off the dust on the ground. Sure enough, there was a picture drawn on the top of the marble. The painting depicted the most famous sutra where Buddha cut his own flesh and fed it to eagles.
It's just that the flesh here was a bit bloodier.
Because, when it was pressed, there was a small bloody groove.
Underneath the mural, a sentence was inscribed, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Chapter 239 - The two made a striking appearance
The blood carried spiritual nature. It bubbled up and surged out in response, all collected in one point and formed a large Buddhist seal.
Faintly, Helian Wei Wei heard the final voice of the deity in her ears, there was a thread of a smile in that voice: "I would say that if it were you, everything would be alright."
Helian Wei Wei maintained her original position.
Kacha! A snapping sound was heard.
With the formation of the Buddhist seal, the golden light penetrated and cracked a gap in the stone wall. The corpse automatically started moving. A huge radiant light came in!
The two black-clad elderly people standing in the room only felt a tremor under their feet. The dust on the roof was floating everywhere.
"What happened? One of the old men in black looked at the figure behind him.
The person shook his head.
The old man in black squinted. "Is it an earthquake?"
But then, again, they didn't care about it.
"Whatever it is, get rid of these first." The man holding the armament was obviously more ambitious and aggressive in doing things.
The old man in black licked the blood on his fingertips and laughed, "What's the urgency? Anyway, these people are all under the influence of our chemical powder. Even if they don't die, in the end, more than half of their internal force will be abolished. What's more, it took a lot of energy to move,
let alone fighting back? Their five viscera and six bowels must not be broken off yet?"
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered if you do this?" A civil office grand minister asked sharply, his cough was followed by a flow of blood.
"Ha ha ha! Found out?" The old man laughed derisively as if he had heard something stupid. "Now that all the attention is on the martial arts competition, who knows that we have changed the world in secret?"
"What if I say, someone did find out?" A cold voice suddenly rang behind them. The icy, imposing manner seemed to come directly from purgatory.
Two old men in black robes froze at the same time and turned around hurriedly. They saw a figure in white like a demon, standing coldly behind them. At the same time, heavy rain pouring in suddenly from one side of the wall.
The old man in black couldn't open his eyes because of the rain. He could only squint his eyes and try to discern with a great effort. There was no trace of calm in his voice, "Who are you?!"
The figure in white came slowly forward, it was not known why the edge of his clothes that should have been drenched by the rain was flowing in the air carefreely, making him look like the envoy from hell.
The old man in black gradually felt a heavy sense of pressure.
It was as if an invisible big hand squeezed everyone's heart!
With a gentle pinch, blood immediately splattered, and living beings turned to ashes in an instant!
In the meantime, a cool and unparalleled face was etched with a clear outline. His face was cold against the door frame, his eyes were covered with white strips. His two long legs that made person envy were built slightly, the light reflected off his amber eyes. This gesture made him look unusually beautiful and gave off an ascetic air.
The other person had a fierce glance like a sharp dagger that pressed against the two elders' neck. The next second, they were going to pierce their throats!
The old man in black, who held a weapon, looked at Helian Wei Wei in disbelief. He suddenly felt a shock on his face and his eyes widened in surprise.
