Zhu Mingrui's face was full of anger, and he seemed not angry and majestic.

"My country of Great Wei suffered from evil disasters and chaos, causing people all over the world to live in dire straits, and the people were displaced. It is really hateful for someone to do such an act of common anger."

"Several immortal masters can rest assured, no matter whether there are people in the army involved in this matter, I will investigate to the end, give an explanation to all immortal masters, and give an explanation to the people of Liming!"

Looking at the upright Zhu Mingrui, Lin Heng was a little wavering in his heart.

The purpose of their visit to the palace was to get their hands on Zhu Mingrui, to see if they could see any clues to prove that the raising of evil spirits was related to the royal family.

But judging from Zhu Mingrui's reaction, they seem to have guessed wrong!

This matter may have something to do with the imperial army, but it seems to have nothing to do with the royal family.

For a while, Lin Heng couldn't make up his mind, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know whether he should continue to test.

At this time, Wu Ziyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly got up and said: "Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, it is indeed the good fortune of the people of the Wei Dynasty."

"Although we are cultivators, we know very little about the affairs of the imperial court and the army. This matter is related to the common people of the Great Wei Dynasty. I hope His Majesty can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Zhu Mingrui said very solemnly: "Don't worry, Immortal Master, I will order a thorough investigation of this matter, and try to find out the matter as soon as possible. At that time, I will send people to send the investigation results to the hall of worship."

"So good!"

Wu Ziyue nodded, then cupped her hands and said: "Then my senior sister and brother will wait for Your Majesty's good news!"

Zhu Mingrui said as if it should be taken for granted: "There is no need for the immortal teacher to do this. As the lord of a country, I should seek justice for the people of Wei Liming!"

Wu Ziyue nodded slightly, not continuing this topic.

"Since that's the case, it's your Majesty's fault, I'll take my leave first!"

Zhu Mingrui hurriedly said: "The immortal master has come from a long way, why don't you stay in the palace for a while and let the widows host a banquet?"

Wu Ziyue shook her head and said: "We have all reached the Bigu Realm, ordinary food is of no benefit to us, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"So... the widow will not leave any more of you!"

Zhu Mingrui showed regret.

"Come here, respectfully send a few immortal masters out of the palace!"

He yelled out of the hall.

A guard entered the hall in response, led Wu Ziyue and the others out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation respectfully, and then walked outside the palace.

After Wu Ziyue and the others left, Zhu Mingrui's expression darkened instantly.

He furrowed his brows tightly and paced back and forth in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with a hint of eagerness gradually appearing between his brows.

"Come on!"

After a while, he suddenly yelled again.

This time, it was not a guard who entered the palace, but an old eunuch.

"The old slave kowtows to His Majesty!"

"Okay, get up first!"

Zhu Mingrui waved his hand impatiently, making the prostrate old eunuch stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Mingrui didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "You go to Fumingxuan in Dongcheng, and meet the owner of Fumingxuan in person, just say that I have something urgent to call."

The sky above the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Er did not leave immediately. Although Zhu Mingrui hid it perfectly, he would not trust this person.

Thus, he saw a scene in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"The emperor really has a big problem. The Fuming Pavilion he mentioned should be the contact point between the royal family and the people behind the scenes."

Li Er looked thoughtful.

"Um?"

At this moment, a breath of cultivator in the Gold Core stage flew towards the direction of the palace at high speed.

Although this person restrained his breath as much as possible, Li Er still sensed it.

"Gold Core early stage..."

Through the breath, Li Er quickly judged the Cultivation Base of the author.

It's just that I don't know what the purpose of this person entering the palace is, or that this person is a member of the behind-the-scenes gang that raises evil spirits.

In order to avoid being found by this person, Li Er tried his best to restrain his breath, and then quietly unfolded Divine Sense, paying attention to the opponent's every move.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The old eunuch was about to leave after receiving the emperor's order.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the palace unexpectedly.

Immediately afterwards, a secret word came to Zhu Mingrui's ears.

Zhu Mingrui's complexion suddenly changed, and he quickly stopped the old eunuch: "Wait, you step back first, there is no need to go to Fumingxuan!"

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, bowed and said, "Old slave obeys!"

After saying this, the old eunuch tactfully withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the hall.

When Zhu Mingrui saw this person, his expression was not good.

Feeling overjoyed, he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Old General Zhou, you are finally here!"

The person who appeared in the hall was none other than Li Er's Zhou Chong who had chased and killed him back then.

At this moment, Zhou Chong, wearing a Cultivation Base, is no longer the Foundation Establishment late stage, but has reached the Gold Core stage level, but judging from his aura, he should have just reached the Gold Core stage not long ago.

"I have seen His Majesty!"

With a respectful face, Zhou Chong greeted Zhu Mingrui with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

He is not the general of the current dynasty, but the general of Zhu Mingrui's grandfather when he was in power more than a hundred years ago in the Great Wei Kingdom.

Even so, everything he has now was given by the Zhu family, so even if he faced Zhu Mingrui, he would not dare to be disrespectful.

Zhu Mingrui said with a smile: "Old General Zhou, there is no need to be too polite! It's good that you come, otherwise, I have to contact the emperor's uncle through Fumingxuan."

"Contact the old prince? Your Majesty, what happened?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"You don't know, old general, just a few disciples of the Qingyang Sect..." Zhu Mingrui succinctly explained what happened in the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now.

Knowing the whole story, Zhou Chong's face became extremely solemn.

The reason why he came to the imperial city was to track down the real culprit who destroyed the breeding ground of the evil spirits in Huaizhou a few days ago.

After discovering that this person's destination was the imperial city, he felt faintly worried. Now that he heard that these people turned out to be disciples of the Qingyang Sect, his heart sank instantly.

If the Qingyang Sect really discovered the royal family's plot, the consequences would be disastrous!

Seeing Zhou Chong's sullen face, Zhu Mingrui's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help feeling worried.

"General Zhou, what should we do now? The disciples of the Qingyang Sect must have recognized those soldiers..."

"Your Majesty don't have to worry. No one can prove the identities of those soldiers in the army. As long as the arrangements are made properly, His Majesty will not be implicated."

Zhou Chong sighed secretly while comforting Zhu Mingrui.

If it wasn't for the fact that the royal family didn't have enough cultivators, how could the imperial army go to occupy the mountains and become bandits, arresting people everywhere?

He had already expected that this matter would leave hidden dangers, but he never thought that this day would come so soon!

"But……"

Zhu Mingrui is still very worried. As the emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, although he is still an ordinary person, he also understands the horror of the Four Sects.

Once the matter of raising evil spirits is exposed, how can the royal family withstand the wrath of the four Sects?

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. If the Qingyang Sect comes to investigate, you just need to say that it has nothing to do with the royal family. There is no real evidence. Even if it is the Four Sects, you will not rush to attack the royal family."

"Furthermore, the Qingyang Sect may not know about this matter. You only need to kill the three Qingyang Sect disciples who entered the palace, and you can sit back and relax."

A killing intent appeared in Zhou Chong's eyes.

"Old General, are you going to kill those three Qingyang Sect disciples?"

Hearing Zhou Chongzhi's words, Zhu Mingrui was startled.

"Not bad." Zhou Chong nodded heavily.

Zhu Mingrui hesitated and said: "But, if the Qingyang Sect has already received the news, once these three people die, won't it be confirmed that the royal family's crimes have been committed?"

Zhou Chong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, before I do anything, I will find out whether they have sent the news back to Sect."

"If it has been sent back, then His Majesty only needs to deal with the army properly, and then pretend that he didn't know about it. If it is not sent back, I will kill those three people with my own hands."

Zhu Mingrui hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Then follow what the old general said."

"Okay, it's not too late. I'll go meet these people for a while. Your Majesty will wait in peace in the palace."

Zhou Chong cupped his hands immediately.

"Old General, be careful!"

Soon, Zhou Chong restrained his figure again, hurriedly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and flew slowly towards the palace.

"Last time, you were lucky enough to escape, and now you dare to show up!"

Li Er has already noticed that this person is the one who chased him to Qingyangfang City.

He watched the other party leave without making a move to stop him.

This person's Cultivation Base, he doesn't Toput in one's eyes, but if he does it here, the movement is too loud, and it is likely to hurt innocent people.

Moreover, it is very likely to scare the snake away.

After all, through eavesdropping on the conversation in the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now, he realized that this person should be just a small shrimp, a real big fish, which has not surfaced yet.

"It's time to avenge the murder of the last time!"

Li Er smiled coldly and whispered.

Suddenly, he thought of Lin Heng and the others again.

This person's current target is precisely those people, and the one with the highest Cultivation Base of these people is the middle-aged man, the Cultivation Base of the Foundation Establishment late stage.

As for the other two

, both are Foundation Establishment early stages.

With such strength, how can he be this person's opponent?

"If I show up at a critical moment and save that kid's life, maybe I can repay the favor and get something nice from that kid?"

In Li Er's eyes, Lin Heng is the real son of destiny.

After experiencing the previous two encounters, he already knew that this kid was absolutely rich.

But he also knows that this kid's hole cards are immeasurable, even if it is a cultivator of the Gold Core stage, or even a cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage, they may not be able to win him.

Therefore, it is not wise to use force on this kid.

After all, he has already failed twice!

If you can't use force, then change your thinking, and it's very good to repay your kindness!

Thinking of this, Li Er's heart immediately burst into joy.

Glancing at General Zhou who was going away, he quietly followed him without thinking.

...

The worship hall not far from the imperial palace.

The three of Lin Heng came out of the palace and went back here.

In the main pavilion of the enshrinement hall, three people sat on chairs.

After being silent for a while, Lin Heng asked first, "Senior Sister, what should we do now? It seems that the raising of evil spirits really has nothing to do with the royal family."

"No?"

Wu Ziyue murmured, and then frowned. She also observed Zhu Mingrui carefully just now, and she really didn't see any clues.

But somehow, she always felt that this matter had absolutely something to do with the royal family.

At this time, the middle-aged man analyzed with style: "Junior Sister Wu, Junior Brother Lin, according to what you said, the guards in the villa just look like people in the army, but likeness doesn't mean they are."

"Although these people are guarding the courtyard, their actions are no different from those of bandits. They must have been contaminated with human life. It is normal for them to have a murderous spirit."

"As for being well-trained, maybe someone has trained specially, which is not surprising!"

"Furthermore, even if they are members of the army, they may not necessarily be related to the royal family. They may be some deserters in the army, or they are not from the Great Wei Kingdom!"

Lin Heng was stunned and said: "Brother Zhao, according to what you say, this matter really has nothing to do with the royal family?"

The middle-aged man thought carefully and said: "You and I have seen everything His Majesty said and done just now. If it is really related, it will definitely reveal flaws."

"so!"

"Brother, I think this matter should have nothing to do with the royal family, at least not with His Majesty."

"Junior brother Lin, you have had too little contact with our majesty, and you don't know much, but senior brother has known your majesty for decades, and he can be regarded as one of the few wise emperors in the Great Wei Kingdom for hundreds of years. How could he do this? An outrageous thing?"

Speaking of which.

The middle-aged man kept shaking his head, apparently not believing that Zhu Mingrui would feed evil spirits with the common people.

After hearing this, Lin Heng fell into deep thought, but didn't speak again for a while.

Wu Ziyue opened the mouth and said: "Only the Evil Spirit Cult will raise evil spirits. No matter what the identity of the people behind it is, what is certain is that even if these people are not members of the Evil Spirit Sect, they must have colluded with the Evil Spirit Sect."

"With the strength of the few of us, if we continue to investigate, it will be futile, and there may be a life-and-death crisis. The most urgent thing now is to report this matter to Sect."

While speaking, Wu Ziyue frowned slightly.

At this moment, she felt a little arrogant.

If I reported back to Sect in time and asked Sect to thoroughly investigate the matter, I might have found the clue now!

Now, with just a few of them, there is no way to find out. Not to mention the wasted time, and facing such a passive situation, it really shouldn't be.

Lin Heng nodded and agreed: "Senior sister is right, so let's go back to Sect now?"

"Need not."

Wu Ziyue shook her head and said.

Lin Heng was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion: "If you don't reply to Sect, how can you report back?"

Lin Heng was puzzled.

It's because the capital is tens of thousands of miles away from Qingyangzong, and the sound transmission talisman of thousands of miles can't reach that far.

The middle-aged man saw Lin Heng's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Haha, Junior Brother Lin, you can rest assured, just report the news, there is no need to return to Sect."

"In Jiantian City, thousands of miles away, there is a shop operated by our Sect. There is a formation in the shop specially designed to deliver news. We only need to go to Jiantian City."

"So that's it! Thank you brother for your explanation."

Lin Heng suddenly realized, cupped hands thanked the middle-aged man.

"Junior brother, you're being polite!" The middle-aged man waved his hand.

Lin Heng suggested: "It's not too late, let's go to Jiantian City first!"

"it is good……"
