Chapter 554: Aftermath
Back in the backyard, the flood had dissipated. Xiao Yibai squatted on the ground and looked at the two remains of the bones in front of him that had been swallowed to the point where only white bones were left. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. He reached out and brushed the bones gently, shook his head and said, "No, the soul has completely dispersed and cannot be found. Where this flood passes, it can swallow flesh and blood. The rain dragon just now can absorb the power of the evil spirits around him. I believe that there must be no living survivor in the mountain market now. This giant turtle cannot be left. I will deal with it when the flood recedes."
His face was really a bit regretful, and he didn't understand why he had strange sympathy for this woman who had destroyed her clan by himself. The Cao family was not the first or the last. He shouldn't have been affected by this boring emotion.
In the ten years when his younger brother went to the Central Plains, he could not count how many people he had eliminated, and it was not until he lost control that even his parents crushed them with his own hands that he realized that the cost of indulgence was so huge.
After that, Mingxi gave him significantly less tasks, and he repeatedly refused to allow him to continue using magic. He suddenly changed from the busiest person with the wind demon to the most leisurely person. He stayed in Gala, who had been stationed in the sky high and the emperor far away for a long time, and was happy to be idle.
He wanted to repay all his debts to his only younger brother, but he always became his younger brother's most fatal weakness and was threatened.
Thinking of these long pasts, Xiao Yibai smiled helplessly, his eyes were complicated and clear. He never thought he was a good person, but his opponents were all intriguing politicians. After a while, they checked and balanced each other. It was not something worthwhile. Only for his younger brother, he always had an irreparable regret.
"That clone was also rescued by the King of Hades." Xiao Qianye followed, but didn't pay attention to the ever-changing emotions on his brother's face. He rubbed his brows with some annoyance. Xiao Yibai's eyes flashed and asked, "The King of Hades... Did Qiu choose that young man before?"
Xiao Qianye nodded, glanced at the two remains on the ground, and suddenly asked: "You should have to go back to the imperial capital to report. The drug formula has been burned by A Xiao. The thing is made of the medicines from the Royal Binding Jail, and it is made of an extremely rare black teal. However, only the black teal is still in the hands of King Lie, so it should not continue to flood on a large scale. Find a way to destroy the remaining drugs in Feiyuan first. Unfortunately, the white rat I was holding was also swallowed by the flood. Now I don't know who is the one who is helping them in the imperial capital."
"It's okay, let Gongsun Yan check it out, the result will come out soon." Xiao Yibai smiled relaxedly, trusted his accomplices very much, and said, "What about you, where are you going and what are you going?"
"Me?" Xiao Qianye thought for a while, looked at the slightly open house with doors and windows, and lowered his head and said softly, "I want to accompany her to Xuhai to investigate the secrets of Yubi."
"Then...whether the array eye?" Although Xiao Yibai was not surprised by his answer, he still asked a little uneasy. "Originally, after I solved the drug problem in Shancheng, I had to go to the snow monument near the Qixue Plateau to make some preparations in advance. Although the location of the array eye was deliberately erased by the God of Prophecy, there should be no mistakes in that area. You still have to go to the Xuhai Sea now, so you won't be suspicious of the Night King, right?"
"He hid in the sea of dusk and didn't come out. I can't blame me for doing other things first, right?" Xiao Qianye muttered and quizzed, and was also confused and uneasy. He didn't know the situation of King Ye, and Feng Jiuqing had never been heard from him. However, this excessively calm day always made people feel that something more fierce storm was brewing silently.
Xiao Yibai looked at his younger brother quietly, and suddenly sighed very lightly, breaking the silence: "Forget it, come one by one. I don't think the situation of my younger brother and sister seems to be that very stable. You can spend more time with her."
Xiao Qianye used force inexplicably, and his hand holding the knife suddenly burst out blue veins. He didn't know what he thought of. He looked at his brothers and suddenly said seriously: "You want to go back to the imperial capital and Mingxi to report your life... There is one thing that I will solve for me by the way."
"Oh?" Xiao Yibai's eyes were cold, and he silently shifted his gaze to look at the slightly open window. He looked at the silhouette sitting by the window. He didn't know what his face looked like. Suddenly, he felt his eyes sting. Xiao Yibai's eyes trembled, "Do you want to talk about Zhu Yan?"
The moment the name blurted out, he saw his brother's stiff back tremble suddenly, frowned slightly and pressed his voice to the lowest point: "I want to torture him for the rest of my life, and endured the pain in the illusion of the Mirror of the Moon, allowing him to feel the pain of blood flowing every day and night, broken bones, and broken tendons, but, but..."
He took a deep breath, as if he was also carrying some great pain. His eyes swept past the window, and he looked away as if he had seen nothing: "At the auction hall of the Mountain Expo, the rain dragon wanted to hurt her with the ribs stained with its dragon blood. She was so scared that she didn't move. It was obvious that the person had no strength to really touch her, but she was still so scared."
Xiao Yibai did not reply. The bone curse is one of the four forbidden techniques of the White Sect, but few people will crazily peel off their bones to curse others. But if they really do this, it will make the curse feel painless and even more terrifying than death. If on this basis, continue to cast the blood curse or even the soul-sharing technique, then the caster with a high level of cultivation can completely control everything about the other party and become a "master and servant".
When he talked to Cen Ge about those past events afterwards, both of them were very grateful. Fortunately, Yun Xiao was a girl with special bloodlines and had already used the excessive soul technique on his own. Otherwise, with Zhu Yan's temperament, how could he stop just by killing her!
Xiao Qianye closed his eyes slightly, endured the sudden stinging feeling in his heart, and finally said gently: "Give him a relief. I would rather he no longer suffer, than hope that his ghost will not disappear, and will appear in front of A Xiao one day in the future."
After saying this, he strode back into the house. Xiao Yibai looked at his brother's back and felt that everything around him suddenly stopped. He was so cold, but so painful.
Yun Xiao leaned against the window. Although he saw the two brothers whispering something in the backyard, he did not use magic to listen. At this time, he watched him walk towards him and tried to cover up the haze on his face in an instant. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'll let him run away, but don't worry, even if I can't catch the people in the Elders' Courtyard, I will accompany you to Xuhai to investigate the truth."
Yun Xiao looked at him blankly, as if he was not listening to his own words at all. Instead, he lowered his head and smiled slightly. There was an indescribable look on his pale face, and he nodded casually.
The flood in the mountain city did not barely retreat until the morning of the next day. The pavilions, stone tables, rockery, and grass in the backyard were bathed in the faint blood-red sunshine, and it was a dead silence like a hell on earth. Xiao Yibai did not sleep all night, and reported the situation to the emperors in the imperial capital city from afar through the perception of the Soul Dividing Technique. Mingxi was rare in the Moon Tower, looking in the direction of Dongming. However, for some reason, his golden eyes reflected the light sunlight, but a hint of uneasiness was faintly revealed.
Gongsun Yan was behind him, without saying anything, but frowned and looked at the star map in front of him that he couldn't understand even though he could not understand. Because the Moon Saint Butterfly was addicted to drug addiction, he had been secretly detained. From the Great Palace Master to the two Dharma Priests, to the third floor saints, the current Star Sacrifice Palace is completely useless.
Mingxi looked back and looked at him deeply. The noble young man who had always liked to smile at this glance lowered his head guiltily, and couldn't help but raise his eyes quietly to observe the emperor's expression. Mingxi glanced at his movements, and there was a hint of sneer at the corner of his lips. Gongsun Yan stuck out his tongue awkwardly, and only heard a stern rebuke from his ears: "You actually hide the witchcraft array of the Zuye clan in the imperial capital. Did Chi Qing not tell you that as long as the thing was successfully concluded, the land where the witch array was located would be polluted by monsters? You are so brave. You don't want it anymore, right?"
"I didn't mean it..." Gongsun Yan smiled flatteringly, and Mingxi was so angry that he didn't smile. He picked up the jade used for astrology at his hand and smashed it in his face, cursing, "You dare to talk back! I told you to go to the seventh aunt's mansion for more time and care about her physical and mental condition. You are so good. Are you who care so much about people? Help her set up a witchcraft array and want to pull Xu Hai to die together? Forget it if you die, you have to drag Zhuo Fan. Do you have any brains?"
Gongsun Yan looked at him with grievance and muttered unwillingly: "What do you mean if I die? I'm fine... It's the monster who feels it's a loss, so I have to take his thing with me. Is it not reasonable to you, right?"
"You dare to talk back! Are you tired of living a good life and want to suffer a little?" Mingxi cursed. This time he smashed the pallets wearing jade and cursed in discomfort, "If it weren't for your neglect of duty during this period, those businesses could secretly transport drugs to Tianyu City under the nose of Jingge? Fortunately, several drug dealers were intercepted by the military cabinet, and they learned about the "Yelaixiang" incident after being severely tortured. Now there is still 100 kilograms of Tianxiang Scent, Gongsun Yan, I'll give you three days to investigate the whereabouts of this batch of goods and the buyers behind them. If you can't find out, you'll prepare to roll and put them in bed and go home!"
Gongsun Yan pulled his head around and then held his breath for a while and said depressedly: "Will three days be too short? At least give me ten..."
"Three days are still short, so you can report the situation before tomorrow night." Mingxi interrupted him impatiently. Now Gongsun Yan didn't dare to bargain, so he could only stand with a bitter face without saying a word. After a while, Mingxi's face improved a little. He fiddled with the most important astrological plate of the Moon Tower, pointed to the underworld soul between his sleeves, and asked, "A Jing is awake? I want to ask her about some things."
Gongsun Yan was shocked. This was the first time Mingxi took the initiative to ask Die Jing to see Die Jing. Without waiting for his answer, a shallow green light flew out from his sleeves. Die Jing's soul respectfully bowed in front of Mingxi and said quietly: "Your Majesty has kindness to Die Valley, Die Jing is willing to solve his doubts for Your Majesty."
