The experience of living in the cold palace.

Chapter 159: Terrifying conjectures about the case of Luo Niangniang’s father (first update, please subscribe)
"Ok?"

Li Xuan's face turned gloomy, a little confused.

He had only controlled Huang Weiting for a few days, why did Huang Weiting die? !

You know, Huang Weiting came here with an elder from the Tianlong Sect.

This elder of the Tianlong Sect is a master who has changed his blood four times, and he is also a Dharma cultivator in the realm of possession.

With such a level of cultivation, looking at the whole world, it can be regarded as the top of the pyramid.

Unable to protect one of his disciples? !

Or was Huang Weiting killed when he went out alone? !

"Eunuch Li, what's wrong?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but wonder when he saw Li Xuan stop suddenly.

Li Xuan said: "It suddenly occurred to me that something was left in the courtyard outside my palace. I have to go and get it. Eunuch Zhao, General Manager Zhang, please wait for me at the gate of the city later. I will come back as soon as I go."

As he spoke, he used the life lamp to send a message to Yao Qingshuang, asking her to come to see him near the city gate.

Since Yao Qingshuang and Huang Weiting were on good terms, they might know what was going on.

It's a pity that Huang Weiting died in an instant.

Otherwise, you can still use the life lamp to see what's going on.

Zhao Hao nodded: "Okay, you and Lao Zhang go rent horses first, and I'll wait for you at the city gate."

He rode his Huoyun horse and headed straight for the city gate.

As for Li Xuan and General Manager Zhang, they were not from Dongchang, so naturally they were not qualified to ride the Huoyun Horse. They could only rent a horse outside for transportation.

After renting the horse.

Li Xuan separated from General Manager Zhang and rode to an alley not far from the city gate. Then he transformed into Shen Gongbao and waited patiently.

Until a quarter of an hour later.

Yao Qingshuang just rode out of the city and met Li Xuan.

"Is there anything you need me to do?!" Yao Qingshuang looked a little nervous when she saw Li Xuan.

She knew that if Li Xuan controlled her, sooner or later he would make her do something.

Just didn't expect it to be so fast.

Li Xuan asked directly: "I sensed just now that Huang Weiting's soul was destroyed. I want to ask you what happened?"

"What?!" Yao Qingshuang looked shocked, "How is it possible? Senior Brother Huang just left the capital a few hours ago."

"Where did he go?"

Yao Qingshuang said: "I went to Shituo Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital. I heard from him that he seemed to have found the evil spirit, and then he left the capital with Master Gong."

"Shituo Mountain?!" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows sharply.

Isn't this the place where you and others are going? !

Could it be that this witchcraft sect is still in cahoots with the evil spirits?
If so, then things are in trouble.

after all.

Huang Weiting went out with the master-level elder in the door, but now he was completely destroyed physically and mentally.

This means that the elders at the master level are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot protect Huang Weiting.

To be able to force a strong man who is both a master-level warrior and a possessed-level magic cultivator to this point, the opponent's strength is definitely not trivial.

"Senior Brother Huang, is Senior Brother Huang really dead?!" Yao Qingshuang looked uneasy, no longer nervous.

She never imagined that the person who had only greeted her for a few hours would die immediately!

You know, Huang Weiting is even stronger than her!

Li Xuan said calmly: "I don't need to lie to you."

I thought about it.

He said: "Go to Zhenmo Division and Dongchang now and tell them that there are demons above the Earth Demon level in Shituo Mountain, and ask them to send people there."

Being able to kill Huang Weiting instantly, the strength of this demon is at least at the earth demon level.

Earth Demon is equivalent to the master realm among humans.

And because of its immortality, it is generally stronger than the master-level warriors.

It's even possible that the demon that killed Huang Weiting was a heavenly demon.

Heavenly Demon is equivalent to a powerful person in the realm of Grand Master!

In addition, there is also the Witch Gu Sect, whose strength is unknown.

This is beyond what Li Xuan and the others can handle, and they must ask for help.

"Okay." Yao Qingshuang nodded.

Ordinary people may not be able to contact Zhenmo Si and Dongchang, but she is a core disciple of the Ice Soul Sect, one of the twelve sects.

With this identity, he can still send the news to Zhenmo Division and Dongchang.

"Go, hurry up."

Li Xuan nodded and didn't wait any longer. After changing back to his own appearance, he rode directly towards the outside of the city.

He still planned to go to Shituo Mountain to see what was going on.

First of all, it is rare for the witchcraft sect involved in the case of Luo Niangniang's father to show up. If they are not caught this time, it will be extremely difficult to catch them again in the future.

Li Xuan also wanted Luo Niangniang's favorability to exceed 100, so naturally he couldn't let this opportunity pass by.

Secondly, with Li Xuan's current strength, he would have a chance to escape as long as he was not facing a Martial Saint or a Ghost Immortal.

Now that he has learned the general situation of Shituo Mountain in advance, he will hide in the dark and be careful, and there shouldn't be any big problems.

Soon.

Li Xuan left the city and met up with Manager Zhang and Zhao Hao.

The three of them headed straight for Shituo Mountain.

Li Xuan originally wanted to knock Zhao Hao and Manager Zhang out and go there alone.

after all.

Although Zhao Hao has now broken through to the late stage of the Xiantian Realm, and General Manager Zhang is also in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm, it is still not enough to face the earth demon.

Following yourself will only hold you back.

However, on second thought, it was not necessary.

Both of them have been working hard in Dongchang for so many years, and their ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages must be better than ordinary warriors.

Moreover, my group was only there to investigate, not to fight these evil spirits head-on.

As long as you pay attention, safety is still guaranteed.

Furthermore, the Shituo Mountain is so big and the terrain is complicated, so Li Xuan has to let Zhao Hao lead the way to find the location of the Witch Gu Sect.

Otherwise, it would be more dangerous to rush in alone.

drive drive drive!
The three of them rushed towards Shituo Mountain without stopping.

Li Xuan said: "Eunuch Zhao, you followed the members of the Wu Gu sect and didn't find any other abnormalities?!"

Zhao Hao shook his head: "I only followed him in one direction into Shituo Mountain, and then I saw him disappear after reaching a cliff. There must be some secret passage, and I didn't dare to go deep into it rashly, so I came back."

Li Xuan reminded: "It's not safe for the three of us to go directly into Shituo Mountain like this. We might encounter an ambush."

Zhao Hao smiled: "Don't worry, I have already considered this. I have already applied for a flying puppet. When the time comes, let the puppet go in first to explore. After understanding the general situation inside, we will wait for the opportunity."

talking room.

He took out a small puppet about the size of a thumb and shaped like a fly from his arms.

With a slight shake, the puppet flew in mid-air, as if it were really a fly.

'Is this a puppet fly? Li Xuan looked at the little fly-like puppet in mid-air, his eyes flashing.

This puppet fly is a puppet made by the weapon refiner based on the shape of a fly.

As long as you inject mana or inner energy into it, you can control it.

Puppet flies are not aggressive and are generally used for reconnaissance.

There are often shadow stones on it, which can record the scenes you see.

With this puppet fly pathfinder, you can indeed avoid many risks in advance.

Unfortunately, this puppet fly is extremely expensive to make. Each one costs about 1 taels of silver, which is comparable to a magic weapon.

If it was damaged, Zhao Hao would probably be in pain for a while.

Manager Zhang said: "Manager Li, don't worry, Lao Zhao is famous for being prudent in his work, otherwise our family wouldn't come here to take credit for this."

"I still trust Eunuch Zhao." Li Xuan smiled.

The three of them galloped all the way and arrived at Shituo Mountain in less than half an hour.

This mountain is towering and continuous, stretching hundreds of thousands of miles from north to south. Looking from top to bottom, it looks like a male lion lying down.After crossing the Shituo Mountain and passing through a desert, you can reach Zhongzhou where the Xia family is located.

The three of them parked their horses aside.

Zhao Hao whispered: "Follow me."

Soon.

The three of them entered Shituo Mountain.

Although it was noon now, all the light in Shituo Mountain was blocked by the dense branches and leaves, making it very dim.

Li Xuan and the others followed Zhao Hao and walked up the mountain path of Shituo Mountain for some distance.

Then, it turned into a mountain trail.

This trail is extremely rugged, with many weeds on both sides, but it seems to have traces of human digging, and it is not a dead end.

We walked forward for about ten minutes.

A towering cliff appeared not far from the three of them.

Under this cliff, there is a cave, I don’t know where it leads.

Zhao Hao stopped and frowned: "I followed you here last night, and then I saw the person from the Witch Gu Cult enter the cliff and disappear. It's a bit strange. I didn't seem to see it last night. There is such a cave."

When Li Xuan heard this, his eyes moved slightly.

His eyes flashed with a faint golden light, and the eyes of breaking magic were activated.

In the field of vision of the Spell-Breaking Eye, you can see that at the entrance of the cave, there seems to be traces of the magic circle remaining.

However, this magic circle has been destroyed.

From this point of view, this person from the Tianlong Sect obviously tracked here and then destroyed the magic circle outside!

General Manager Zhang said: "It was so dark last night. It's normal that you can't see clearly from a distance. Quickly release the puppet flies to see if this cave is the hiding place of the Witch Gu Cult."

"Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded.

He took out the puppet fly and injected a trace of inner energy into it.

next moment.

Swah——

The fly flapped its wings very quickly and flew to the cliff in the blink of an eye.

Under Zhao Hao's control, the puppet fly flew directly into the cave.

Li Xuan and the others stayed where they were and waited patiently.

This puppet fly does not image in real time. It needs to fly back and turn the mechanism on it to release the recorded image.

Zhao Hao's inner energy is attached to it, and he can only roughly sense obstacles, and the distance cannot exceed one mile, otherwise he will not be able to continue to control it.

It is equivalent to a low-end version of a drone.

A quarter of an hour later.

Under Zhao Hao's control, the puppet fly quickly flew out of the cave.

Zhao Hao quickly took it and then gently clicked on the mechanism on it.

next moment.

There were two faint rays of light emitting from the eyes of this puppet fly.

The light gathered in mid-air, and a blurry image actually appeared.

This is the picture taken by the puppet fly after entering the cave.

The puppet fly walked around a dim corridor and then came to a hall.

In the hall, there are actually rooms.

There seemed to be human beings locked inside, some male and female, old and young.

After flying through the hall, we came to an extremely spacious hall.

The hall seemed to have just gone through a fight and was already in a mess.

There were fallen rocks everywhere, and the ground looked like it had been plowed.

Not far away, there was a blood pool gushing with blood.

Lying on the ground were three corpses dressed in blue robes.

When Li Xuan saw one of the figures, his eyes flashed suddenly.

This figure is none other than Huang Weiting!
Next to Huang Weiting's body, there were still figures standing, seemingly discussing something.

One of the figures, with a faint black mist rising from its body, was obviously a demon.

"How is this possible? This man is Wang Wenwen, the eldest son of the Marquis of Huai'an, Wang Qinghou. Didn't he follow the Marquis of Huai'an to serve as the commander of the Tianhai Army in Dongzhou? How could he come here?!" Zhao Hao's eyes were fierce. The ground flashed.

General Manager Zhang also took a breath of cold air: "What's wrong, the witchcraft sect, evil spirits, and the eldest son of the Marquis of Huai'an, how could these people be involved together?!"

He never expected that he would find such a discovery just by investigating the movements of the Witch Gu Sect!

If this news reached the court, it would be enough to cause a huge shock.

The commander-in-chief of an army, his son was actually involved with evil spirits. This is a serious crime that can be executed by the whole family!
Li Xuan's eyes flashed wildly after listening to Zhao Hao's words.

Is it the Marquis of Huai'an and the evil demon again? !
He had heard that Lei Guang said before that the Marquis of Huai'an, Wang Qinghou, had secretly had contact with the Demon.

However, this lightning could not produce any evidence.

Li Xuan just kept this matter in his heart and didn't delve too deeply into it.

after all.

As Lei Guang is a remnant of the previous dynasty, his words may not be true.

Li Xuan didn't have the energy, so he went to investigate the Marquis of Huai'an with the help of Lei Guang's words.

However, now the eldest son of the Marquis of Huai'an is also involved with the evil spirit.

That means that what Lei Guang said is most likely true!

The Marquis of Huai'an is deeply involved with evil spirits.

'Good guy, could it be Luo Niangniang's father? Luo Wenzhong, the former chief minister of the cabinet, discovered that the Marquis of Huai'an was in collusion with the devil, and wanted to investigate. However, the Marquis of Huai'an noticed it in advance and took advantage of it by using witchcraft. The people who taught him framed Luo Niangniang’s father, which led to the witchcraft disaster later! '

Li Xuan couldn't help but guess.

The most important thing is that Luo Niangniang's father was framed in the 21st year of Tianyuan. Only one year had passed since Zhao Feilong, Zhao Niangniang's father, was convicted of treason.

Is there any connection between the two? !

'If this is the case, then the matter will be terrifying, and the things involved may be far beyond my imagination! Li Xuan frowned secretly.

He vaguely felt that the witchcraft sect in front of him and Wang Qinghou's eldest son might be a thread that could connect the case of Empress Zhao's father and the case of Empress Luo's father!

As long as we understand the inside story, the truth of these two cases may be revealed!

Just when Li Xuan was thinking.

However, a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart.

Chunyang Taoist soul had bursts of thoughts, and a fatal threat spread throughout the body!
Li Xuan's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Back off!"

He quickly grabbed Zhao Hao and Manager Zhang, jumped up and flew to the side.

Jie Jie Jie!

next moment.

The terrifying sound waves of howling ghosts and wolves suddenly swept over.

Li Xuan only felt a splitting headache, and his whole body seemed to faint.

He quickly ran the "Light Burning Technique" to suppress the nauseating feeling.

but.

Zhao Hao and General Manager Zhang were not that strong. The moment they heard the sound, they screamed, their orifices bled, and they fainted.

The moment this voice sounded.

Where Li Xuan and others were standing just now, a black bloody mouth appeared, opened suddenly, and swallowed the fly in mid-air.

Followed by.

The black bloody mouth gradually came together and turned into a man covered in thick black mist.

His pupils were blood-colored, but there was a little golden light in the middle, and he looked at Li Xuan:

"Oh? What an interesting little guy. He's not at the level of a grandmaster, but he can actually withstand my Demon's roar. He has two brushes."

"I feel rich blood and powerful soul power in you. You are a very good food!"

Li Xuan's face suddenly darkened as he looked at the burly black figure in front of him.

This extremely rich oppressive force!

The man in front of me is definitely a demon!
