I became an empress of the game

Chapter 45
Weiyang Palace.

Shangguan Yourong walked quickly into Fenglin Hall.

"Empress Qi, yesterday the Nine Ghosts of Night Evil ambushed Li Xingci on the way..."

Fairy Weisheng stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"

Fenglin Hall seemed to have entered the cold winter in an instant, with a thick layer of ice forming on the pillars in the hall.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yourong said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, Empress, Li Xingci is fine, Jiu Gui is dead."

Fairy Weisheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Can you tell me the result directly next time?"

"The humble job knows it's wrong."

Shangguan Yourong is also a little helpless. Who would have thought that you would have such a big reaction before he finished speaking.

Immortal Fairy Weisheng looked at the litchi in her hand; "Who killed the Nine Ghosts?"

"This……"

After a brief pause, Shangguan Yourong replied.

"The humble job is under investigation."

Bang, the lychee was thrown back into the plate.

"There's no need to check. It's been too long. I think some people have forgotten the taste of fear."

There was a distortion in the space, and a red dress disappeared into the hall.

Shangguan Yourong's tense body slowly relaxed. I don't know since when, Li Xingci became the empress's enemy.

The authorities are confused by the onlookers, and perhaps the empress herself has not noticed it, but she can clearly feel this change.

……

On the way, Li Xingci began to study the space network.

After searching the nine ghosts, he already knew how to use the space network.

This is a high-level spiritual weapon, its main function is to restrain the enemy.

When returning to Qinglong Sect, no one noticed anything unusual about the sculpture, and it suddenly appeared in mid-air.

When Jiugui saw him at that time, he threw the net into the air to hide it, and then guarded the net to wait for the prey.

This is another characteristic of the space network, concealment.

It can not only block space, but also hide in space.

It only needs to activate the formula, and it can be completely hidden and undetectable.

Only by closing the net will the true face of black be revealed.

This net can be changed in size at will, and can easily catch something as big as a white eagle.

"What a sweet baby."

A drop of blood flew out of Li Xing's forehead and fell into the space network.

As the essence and blood disappeared, a strange connection was established between him and this spiritual weapon.

With a thought, the space network suddenly shrank.

……

Capital.

On the long street, there was a large flow of people.

After Li Xingci entered the capital, he went straight to the Imperial Academy.

Xu Shensong, as a high priest, must usually stay in Taixue.

However, after arriving at Taixue, I discovered that there was no one here.

He stopped a young man in a hurry on the street.

"Why is there no one in the Imperial Academy today?"

The young man was holding a huge brocade box in his arms and was about to get angry when he was stopped.

After looking up and seeing that face, his aura immediately weakened by three points.

"Today is the birthday of Taixue Grand Prix Liquor. All the students have gone to congratulate the Grand Priest Liquor House."

"Xu Shensong?"

"Don't call the Grand Sacrificial Wine by its name." The young man looked horrified.

It would be disrespectful to call the Grand Sacrificial Wine by its name.

Li Xingci let go of the man and stared at the box in his arms.

"What's in here?"

"A congratulatory gift for the great sacrifice."

Li Xingci took the box and opened it. Inside was a very exquisite jade ornament.

When the young man saw Li Xingci taking out the ornaments in the box, he felt a little distressed.

"Master Li, I saved up for a year to buy this."

Li Xingci ignored it and threw the ornament into the young man's arms.

"I want this box."

Wearing a white robe and walking on the street, he quickly attracted people's attention.

"Li Xingci, why did he come to the capital?"

"You're not here to beat the Dengwen drum again, are you?"

"I guess there will be something good to watch this time."

"I heard that Shangguan Yundu came out of seclusion today to challenge Mu Xiufeng, who is number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Here, Li Xingci comes to Beijing again. Today is really lively."

"Although Li Xingci is considered a leader among the younger generation, he is still far behind those two."

……

Today, Xu Mansion is very lively.

Taixue celebrated Xu Shensong's birthday, and there was an endless stream of people coming to Xu Mansion to congratulate him.

"Congratulations on the grand sacrificial wine."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li, please come in quickly."

"Blessings are as good as the East Sea, and life is as long as the Southern Mountains."

"Brother Lin, long time no see, please come inside."

"Congratulations on the grand sacrificial wine."

"Thank you, thank you very much. Please come in."

Li Xingci held a brocade box in his arms and walked to Xu Shensong who was waiting for guests in front of the hall.

"Congratulations on the grand sacrificial wine."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

When Xu Shensong saw this person who shouldn't be here, his face froze.

In just a short moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Why does Li Xingci appear here?
Did Jiugui miss it?
How is it possible that a seventh-level Nascent Soul cannot kill a little Golden Core cultivator?
After all, Xu Shensong had been involved in the court situation for many years, and his expression quickly returned to normal.

"Mr. Li, come in quickly."

Li Xingci presented the brocade box with both hands; "I hope you won't dislike it as a congratulatory gift for the grand ceremony."

"Thank you, please come inside." Xu Shensong took the brocade box.

Wearing a white robe, he stood still and didn't move.

"I brought this gift from Yunzhou. Why don't you open the grand sacrificial wine and take a look?"

The people who came to congratulate him also noticed something was wrong.

Li Xingci appeared here, looking out of place.

The guests who came today are firstly colleagues from the imperial court, secondly students and old officials, and thirdly relatives and friends.

Li Xingci didn't touch any of these three things.

Today is the birthday banquet, Xu Shensong doesn’t want to cause any complications.

Holding the brocade box with one hand, he opened the box casually and wanted to perfunctoryly.

But the moment the box was opened, his pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help but flip open the lid completely, wanting to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.

"Nine Ghosts!"

When he saw clearly the human head contained in the box, Xu Shensong was completely flustered.

There are very few people in the seventh level of Nascent Soul who are Jiugui's opponents, but now her head appears here.

What does it mean?
It is very likely that the empress took action, otherwise Jiugui would not have died.

Jiuki is the number one assassin among the Night Furies. If she wants to escape, no one can stop her unless the Empress takes action.

And once the empress takes action, his identity as an employee may not be preserved.

At this moment, what he was worried about was not Li Xingci, but the empress coming in person to settle the score with him.

What Xu Shensong didn't notice was that there was a talisman attached to the inside of the lid.

The amulet that Li Xingci had used once had been restored by the system a long time ago, and now it is stuck in the brocade box.

boom.

A large black net flew out from the brocade box and aimed at Xu Shensong under his hood.

By the time Xu Shensong reacted, it was already too late. Space Network attached the amulet to his body.

The talisman glowed, and then the talisman began to fade.

Xu Shensong stood still, his hands still in a struggling posture.

"Li Xingci, what are you going to do?"

"I am the official of the imperial court!"

Li Xingci ignored his threat, unsheathed his long sword and thrust it out.

Xu Shensong's dantian was shattered, and his fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivation instantly turned into nothingness.

The painful screams echoed throughout the capital.

Soul Search!
Control his body, abolish his cultivation, search his memory, and get it right.

So, by the time the guests recovered from their shock, he had already finished searching for his soul.

"Get Li Xingci!"
