Inside the palace, the royal garden.

Qin Yao and others were led to a deep pit by the chamberlain. When they looked down, they saw densely packed snakes coiled together in the pit. Their hissing sounds were continuous, which brought double terror to people both visually and aurally.

Even though Taiyi had already cultivated an immortal body, his scalp was still numb after seeing this scene. He resisted the urge to cast spells and set fire, and silently looked away.

Not long after, a group of soldiers wearing black armor, led by Zhan Juan, escorted seventy-two maids from the former queen's palace to the opposite side of Qin Yao and others. The two sides looked at each other across the pit.

"Violent ghosts and evil spirits."

Looking at the unattractive Zhan Juan, Uncle Jiu said with great certainty.

He has been dealing with demons and ghosts all his life, and even if the other person hides them very well and does not show any trace of ghost energy, there is no way to hide them in his eyes.

"Didn't Emperor Xin notice the evil ghosts and monsters walking majestically in the palace?" Taiyi asked in confusion.

Qin Yao said: "You are probably aware of it, but you are confident that no evil spirit can harm you."

"Your Majesty is here." Just as Jiang Ziya was about to speak, a loud shout suddenly sounded nearby.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a graceful black-robed girl wearing gold and silver striding over, followed by a group of maids.

"Greetings to the empress." Zhanjuan bowed and saluted.

Daji nodded slightly and said indifferently: "Push these seventy-two palace ladies to the edge of the pit."

"yes."

The Xuanjia soldiers were ordered to drive the maids to the big pit, with their toes less than an inch away from the pit.

Seeing all the snakes in the pit at such a close distance, almost all the maids were frightened to death, and some even fainted from fear. Their bodies fell into the pit, and were lifted up in the air by Taiyi's magic power, and then sent back to the edge of the pit.

"What do you mean, empress?" Jiang Ziya asked knowingly.

Daji glanced at Taiyi, then looked into Jiang Ziya's eyes and said, "These maids cried for rebels, so they were implicated. If they are not dealt with, where will the majesty of the Yin and Shang Dynasties be?"

Jiang Ziya frowned: "The so-called majesty of the Yin Shang Dynasty is based on killing these unarmed maids?"

Daji: "Anything related to rebellion must be dealt with with iron blood, so that the long-term peace and order of the country can be maintained."

Jiang Ziya felt bitter in his heart and argued: "If we don't understand the origin of the rebellion, we just suppress it blindly. We will never usher in long-term peace and stability, but will only usher in a world of war."

"You came to see me just to talk about these great principles?" Daji asked coldly.

Jiang Ziya shook his head and pointed to the sobbing palace maid in front of the pit opposite: "I'm here to save them."

Daji said: "Save? Could it be that you are also related to the rebellion?"

"It has nothing to do with it, I just can't bear to see the tragedy happen." Jiang Ziya responded.

Daji's expression paused and she said quietly: "I heard rumors that you used a cover that could set fire to a jade pipa?"

Qin Yao turned his hand and summoned hundreds of jade fragments, floating above his palm: "Yes, this is the jade pipa."

Looking at the jade fragments stagnant in the void, Daji's body and soul also stagnated, and did not recover for a long time.

Subconsciously, she never thought that the other party would harm the jade pipa. After all, after sealing the demon soul, it was also a top-quality magic weapon.

Who would destroy the best magic weapon in hand?

"Why did the empress say this?" Qin Yao twitched his hand to remove the immortal energy, and pieces of jade fragments suddenly fell down.

Daji was awakened by him, but the demon soul was about to go crazy.

Is this guy sick?!

"You, you, you..." In extreme anger, her face turned red quickly and she stuttered when she spoke.

Those were sisters who had been with her for thousands of years. They were like family members. Now there are only a bunch of fragments left.

"Is the empress suffering from some oral disease? To be honest, Pindao used to stutter when he spoke. It is said that a long-term illness makes a good doctor. Now he has accumulated a lot of experience in this area and learned some treatment methods. How about I help you take a look?" Qin Yao said.

Daji's heart was filled with murderous intent, but she knew that now was not the time to attack.

Looking at these stinky Taoist priests, the only ones she was confident of defeating were Jiang Ziya and the young-looking child. In this case, she could only bring shame on herself.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your kindness, but I don't have a mouth problem." After taking a few deep breaths, Daji finally suppressed the anger in her heart, pointed at the seventy-two palace maids and said: "Don't you want to save them? Okay, then Give me a reason to let them go."

Qin Yao said: "I am willing to enter this pit of ten thousand snakes on their behalf."

Daji sneered and said: "Taoist Priest, you can even suppress goblins with your hands, how can you be afraid of these mere snakes and insects? Do you think I am a three-year-old child, so easy to fool!"

Qin Yao said: "What do you want?"

Daji pointed at Jiang Ziya and said expressionlessly: "Let him go."

Everyone: "..."

This monster really knows how to pick on the weak.

Among them, the weakest one is the person who conferred the title of God. He is neither a high nor a low achiever. Looking at the second generation disciples of the entire Chan Sect, he is the weakest in terms of strength and combat power. He even has the lowest combat power. I haven't even completed the cultivation of my immortal body.

Otherwise, he wouldn't look so senile, let alone accept the 68-year-old yellow-flowered old girl without heart.

"No."

Shaoqing, Taiyi came back to his senses and said seriously: "Junior brother, you are not yet a fairy. If you jump into this snake pit and get bitten by a poisonous snake, then our great cause will be blocked."

Jiang Ziya: "..."

Senior brother, if you can’t speak, you don’t have to speak.

Qin Yao raised his eyes and looked at Daji and said, "Do you dare to establish a written agreement with us?"

"Junior Brother Shen." Taiyi called.

Qin Yao raised his hand: "Senior brother, please be patient."

"I can create a written document, but I have a request." Daji glanced at everyone except Jiang Ziya and said in a serious voice: "This request is that none of you can help him, and no help in any form is allowed."

"Okay." Qin Yao agreed immediately.

"Junior brother, don't take risks." Taiyi couldn't help but remind him.

Qin Yao was too lazy to pay attention to the fat man. He just turned to look at Jiang Ziya and asked seriously: "Senior Brother Jiang, are you willing to believe me?"

Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth and said, "I believe you."

In fact, he is gambling. The most important part of this factor is that he believes in the reputation of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun.

Precisely because he knew how difficult it was for Shen Gongbao to obtain this position, he believed that the other party would not risk losing this position to harm him.

Qin Yao nodded and said: "Empress Daji, you can establish a written certificate."

"Zhanjuan, go to my palace to get some paper and pen." Daji ordered.

"Don't bother, I have paper and pen here." Qin Yao took out the yellow talisman paper and cinnabar pen, quickly wrote a note, raised his hand and threw it to the opposite side of the snake pit: "Master Zhan, take it.

Already."

Zhanjuan raised her right hand, caught the pen and paper with a snap, and regardless of half of her arm that was numb from the shock, turned around and held the writing in front of Daji.

Daji looked down, picked up the cinnabar pen, and wrote her name on the yellow talisman paper.

When the three words Su Daji were completed, the yellow talisman paper and the writing brush flew up at the same time and rushed towards Qin Yao.

Daji looked at him with gloomy eyes as he put away the pen and paper, and said coldly: "Can you go down now?"

"Go, Senior Brother Jiang." Qin Yao urged softly.

Jiang Ziya mustered up his courage and walked towards the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit step by step. Just when he was less than three steps away from the pit, countless white cranes suddenly flew over with fluttering wings and rushed towards the pit.

In just a moment, all the snakes in the cave were captured, and then they flew away in groups.

Daji was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You have breached the contract."

Qin Yao said calmly: "Where did we breach the contract?"

Daji was speechless.

Judging from her conduct, she really didn't see any signs of casting spells on these people.

"Bang!"

Jiang Shang, who silently breathed a sigh of relief, jumped into the pit, raised his head and shouted: "Please release the seventy-two maids and give them their freedom."

Daji shook her head, not intending to admit her fault: "I was deceived by you. You deliberately set up such a game to win against me. I don't accept it!"

Qin Yao unfolded the paper at her and said: "I am willing to admit defeat. It is a matter of course. It is written here in red letters on yellow paper. How can I allow you to go back on your word and be a rogue?"

If you refuse to admit defeat, we will take this receipt to the Yuxu Palace to find Master, and ask Master to take the receipt to the Wa Palace and ask Emperor Wa whether he should accept the bet he signed."

Daji was dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that the other party would actually see through her and even know that she was sent by Nuwa.

But then I thought about it, the other party had captured Pipa Jing, and it would not be difficult to pry the matter out of Pipa Jing's mouth. In order to survive, Pipa Jing might even take the initiative to confess.

Thinking of this, her desire to avenge him faded away, and she waved her hand with an irritated face: "Go, go, you quickly leave with these irritating palace maids, don't let me see you again."

"Come here." Qin Yao waved to the maids who were staring at them.

The palace ladies, who had forgotten to cry due to the tense situation, took a breath and ran over with their skirts in hand, immediately surrounding everyone.

Jiang Shang used Qinggong, jumped up into the pit, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, Madam, we will leave..."
