Chapter 1256

In the original story, when the four disciples of Xiang Yutian first appeared, they were precisely surrounding Shi Qingxuan, intending to seize the Evil Emperor's Relic from her hands.

Su Xuan had not expected to hear Shi Qingxuan's flute music here.

But since he had heard the other party's flute music, it was easy to handle.

If he could find Shi Qingxuan, he could use her to lure out those four people.

Although Su Xuan did not have strange arts like "Thousand Mile Soul Searching", the art of soul-searching and mind-reading was not a secret to him at all. Not to mention the arts of Disha and Tiangang he had mastered, the many arts of the Yin-Yang School also lacked no mind-reading capabilities.

For Su Xuan, the most important thing was finding the location of those four scoundrels.

As long as he found those four scoundrels, Su Xuan was confident he could dig out all the information they knew.

Following the direction from which the flute music had come earlier, Su Xuan quickly performed the art of flying, his figure breaking through the air like a ghost, and in an instant, he darted into the vast forest.

The forest was lush, and looking to one side, one could see the vast Yangtze River, with the river water flowing endlessly.

Not far ahead, faintly, one could see a temple hidden within.

"Could this be the Evil Emperor Temple?"

Su Xuan's thoughts flickered, and he thought of a place in the original story: the Evil Emperor Temple, which was the place where Xiang Yutian had gone into seclusion thirty years ago. He had carried out the final cultivation of the "Dao Heart Planting Demon" Great Art there. Because he was worried that his four disciples would have evil intentions, he deliberately faked his death and avoided the world. In reality, he had already successfully shattered the void and left.

The four disciples, also because they saw him die from a failed practice, were simultaneously delusional about seizing the supreme secret manual of the Evil Extreme Sect, the "Dao Heart Planting Demon" Great Art, while not daring to practice it themselves.

At the same time, hindered by the oath they had made before Xiang Yutian, they had not dared to go out and do evil for a full twenty years.

It could be seen that although Xiang Yutian had disappeared, his sense of oppression remained full.

In the original story, the Evil Emperor Temple only showed a bat maze, but according to Shi Qingxuan, that was only a part of the Evil Emperor Temple. The entire Evil Emperor Temple was the work of Lu Miaoji, and it was likely a magnificent building complex built into the mountain, just like the Mohist Mechanical City in the Qin world.

After his cultivation reached the peak, Su Xuan's memory also became incredibly good. The books and TV series he had watched in his previous life, as long as he deliberately recalled them, he could remember them with extreme clarity.

This time, upon realizing that this might be the Evil Emperor Temple that appeared in the original story, the interest in Su Xuan's heart rose even higher.

The mountain road was narrow, and the whole way was filled with dense and thick nanmu trees, with mountain streams winding and flowing slowly. If this was truly the location of the Evil Emperor Temple, it had to be said that Xiang Yutian was indeed very good at choosing a place.

Passing through layers of dense forest, Su Xuan, like a traveler enjoying the mountains and waters, appreciated the scenery along the way, and finally passed through a dense forest to arrive before an ancient temple. In front of the ancient temple, there were over a hundred steps.

This ancient temple had no name, the courtyard walls were cracked, and wild grass grew all around; it was clearly abandoned for many years.

At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight passed through the forest, spilling onto the front of the ancient temple. The dilapidated ancient temple appeared even more eerie and terrifying under the sunset glow.

Su Xuan climbed the stone steps and crossed the temple gate. Inside, candlelight was burning.

A woman with long hair hanging down to her waist was kneeling on a prayer mat before a Bodhisattva statue, her back to him, holding a green bamboo flute in her hand.

The earlier flute sound had come from her hand.

Su Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued forward, seemingly preparing to appreciate this ancient temple.

Seeing Su Xuan ignore her directly, the woman in the temple could not sit still.

A quiet voice came from her mouth: "Young Master, this is not a place you should come to. Please leave quickly."

Su Xuan said softly: "This is an abandoned temple. It looks like no one has come here for many years. You are clearly not the owner of this place. Since you can stay here, why can't I play here?"

"To tell you the truth, I have always loved enjoying the mountains and waters and seeking out the secluded and visiting the ancient. This temple looks dilapidated on the outside, but in my opinion, there seems to be a world within. I am very interested."

The woman with her back to Su Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Of course this temple had a world within. After all, it was built by Lu Miaoji years ago. When the Evil Emperor was in seclusion here for many years, to prevent anyone from disturbing his seclusion, Lu Miaoji had set up layers of mechanisms in this temple.

This time, she had come to this temple to use the mechanisms here to eliminate the Evil Emperor's four disciples, those four villains.

The Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian had forced the four to make a blood oath with the Evil Emperor's Relic years ago, stating that only by seizing the Evil Emperor's Relic could one possibly become the new Evil Emperor.

At first, Lu Miaoji set a trap, making the four believe the Evil Emperor's Relic was in the hands of Zhu Yuyan, while simultaneously making Zhu Yuyan believe the Evil Emperor's Relic was in the hands of these four, thus causing them to fight endlessly.

It was a pity that paper could not wrap up fire in the end.

With the death of Lu Miaoji and the revelation of certain secrets, these people, for some reason, learned the news that Lu Miaoji had handed the Evil Emperor's Relic to Bi Xiuxin, although the truth of this news was not yet certain.

But for the sake of becoming the Evil Emperor, they had to seize the Evil Emperor's Relic.

Bi Xiuxin was already dead, so to obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic, they could only start with her daughter.

Although Shi Qingxuan had a nature of not contending with the world, she clearly would not let trouble find her. For her, the best way to solve the trouble was to solve those four people first.

Of course, relying on herself alone, it was somewhat difficult to solve those four.

Therefore, today's Shi Qingxuan was just coming to the Evil Emperor Temple to scout the location.

At the same time, she wanted to see if she could find one or two helpers for herself.

Before Lu Miaoji died, he had written her a letter.

If she could find those two people, they might be her best helpers.

As a result, she had not expected that not long after arriving here, before waiting for her helpers and those four people, she had first encountered an uninvited guest.

In these deep mountains, although the other party gave an explanation, how could Shi Qingxuan not understand that the other party's purpose from the very beginning was this Evil Emperor Temple.

This made her feel a sense of wariness.

She naturally did not know that this person had come here because of her flute music.

Shi Qingxuan had never thought in this direction. She was extremely proficient in the art of music, and after arriving here earlier, she had indeed played a flute song, but this was deep in the dense forest, and the flute sound could not have traveled that far.
