Chapter 62

But witnessing a king fall in such a way, Yan Yan Lingji could not help but have some feelings.

"Ji Ji Wuye is truly decisive!"

Su Xuan spoke again, seemingly certain that the King of Han’s current state was Ji Ji Wuye’s doing.

"Although I don't know what made him make up his mind, I have to say, this is an excellent opportunity."

Su Xuan said slowly: "Your former master, Tian Ze, broke into the palace last night, and today, the King of Han had an accident. No matter what hidden reasons there are, the vast majority of people will think this matter is related to Tian Ze!"

"The Crown Prince was supported by Ji Ji Wuye, and he has no opinions of his own, relying heavily on Ji Ji Wuye. After the King of Han dies, the Crown Prince will succeed to the throne. At that time, he only needs to apprehend Tian Ze and me, the deviant, and bring us to justice to avenge the former King. His royal majesty will be established. Even if some of his brothers have ulterior motives, the general trend is set, and they will not be able to make any waves."

"Similarly, for Ji Ji Wuye, since the King of Han no longer favors him and even targets him repeatedly, replacing him with someone else as the King of Han will allow his power to truly reach its peak."

In a few words, Su Xuan stated Ji Ji Wuye’s goal.

As for whether the Crown Prince can apprehend Tian Ze and other Regarding Baiyue rebels after succeeding to the throne?

Su Xuan had no doubts about this.

Although Tian Ze is arrogant, in the eyes of Ji Ji Wuye and others, he has always been a dog. The reason for letting him out this time is just to achieve certain goals.

Neither Ji Ji Wuye nor Bai Bai Yifei has ever taken Tian Ze seriously.

"What a... brilliant scheme!"

After hearing Su Xuan’s analysis, Yan Yan Lingji couldn't help but sigh.

Admittedly, Ji Ji Wuye’s secret plot against the King of Han was rebellious and an act of regicide, but from Ji Ji Wuye’s perspective, it was a business with a ten-thousand-fold return.

Getting rid of the King of Han, who no longer favored him, could be exchanged for a new king with no political acumen who relied on him for everything.

Moreover, he didn't even have to bear the crime of regicide, because this crime had been pushed onto Su Xuan and Tian Ze from the very beginning.

Even if the two of them had never done such a thing.

But in a situation where everyone believed it was their doing, whether it was true or not made no difference.

"It is indeed a brilliant scheme!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but praise.

This matter seemed sudden, without even a trace of a sign, but it was precisely because it happened suddenly that people wouldn't overthink it and would only believe it was the work of Tian Ze, who had broken into the palace last night.

Tian Ze had a blood feud with Han. He had sent Yan Yan Lingji to break into the palace and had personally taken action to kidnap Princess Princess Honglian. Killing a King of Han didn't seem like something hard to understand.

After all, after reappearing in the world, he had already expressed his determination for revenge.

As for the matter of Su Xuan and Tian Ze being accomplices.

It seemed incredible.

But as long as this matter spread, even if it was unreasonable, under the imagination of some people, it would become reasonable.

Su Xuan even did some imagining himself.

For example, the former Crown Prince of Regarding Baiyue, Tian Ze, liked to recruit strange people for his own use. Su Xuan was one of the strange people he recruited. Earlier, he approached the King of Han with the ability to summon wind and rain, but in fact, he had other motives, all to rescue his master, Tian Ze.

He lurked beside the King of Han for a long time, gradually gaining the King’s trust, and finally found the whereabouts of his master, Tian Ze, and then rescued him. After Tian Ze appeared, he first sent Yan Yan Lingji to infiltrate the palace and cause a scene.

It seemed that Su Xuan captured Yan Yan Lingji, but in fact, they used this opportunity to meet and pass on certain messages.

Yan Yan Lingji surrendering and Su Xuan speaking up to prevent the King of Han from locking her in the dungeon was one of the pieces of evidence.

Then, Tian Ze personally broke into the palace and kidnapped Princess Princess Honglian. This incident finally became the last straw that broke the camel’s back, inducing certain illnesses in the King of Han, causing him to fall completely ill and be on the verge of death.

"Reasonable and well-founded. It seems I have a talent for being a strategist!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but think.

Yan Yan Lingji didn't know that after Su Xuan guessed Ji Ji Wuye’s purpose, he had let his imagination run wild. She asked Su Xuan: "What do you plan to do next?"

"Or rather, where are you going?"

The King of Han was already in this state.

He could die at any moment.

And Su Xuan’s past status relied on the King of Han’s favor. Even if Su Xuan ran to the King of Han right now and claimed he didn't harm him, Ji Ji Wuye would insist it was Su Xuan’s doing and continue to send people to capture him.

In other words, Su Xuan could no longer wash off this frame-up.

If Su Xuan had nowhere to go, she wouldn't mind introducing him to a place.

That was Tian Ze’s stronghold.

"Ji Ji Wuye threw such a frame-up on me, so naturally, I have to find a way to retaliate." Although the titles of 'Regicide' and 'Dragon Slayer' sounded good, the key was that Su Xuan didn't want them.

Even if he had no feelings for the King of Han, he had indeed gained many benefits from him during this time.

If not for the herbs provided by the King of Han, his strength couldn't have improved so rapidly, and he couldn't have lit up so many Earthly Fiend Daoist arts.

It could be said that this rich man, the King of Han, was his financier.

Ji Ji Wuye designed this scheme and successfully harmed his financier, which was equivalent to cutting off his source of wealth.

Cutting off someone’s wealth is like killing their parents.

Ji Ji Wuye is truly hateful!

After saying this, Su Xuan added: "As for where to go, although I usually stay in the palace and rarely go out, and I don't have any strongholds in Han, I have actually thought of a temporary place."

Yan Yan Lingji’s words, which were on the tip of her tongue, stopped.

Since Su Xuan said he had a place to go, she couldn't very well continue to suggest places to him.

"Speaking of which, you should know how to leave the palace, right!"

Su Xuan looked at Yan Yan Lingji again.

First Yan Yan Lingji, then Tian Ze—they both treated the palace guards as nothing and came and went as they pleased, which meant they had mastered a secret passage leading to the palace.

Yan Yan Lingji was stunned and responded: "There is a secret passage here that can leave the palace. I thought you knew!"

Su Xuan brought her to this cold palace, and she thought Su Xuan knew there was a way out hidden here.

As it turned out, it was purely a coincidence.

Under Yan Yan Lingji’s guidance, Su Xuan soon left the palace.

Although he had inexplicably become a wanted criminal, not many people had seen him, mainly because Su Xuan usually stayed in the palace and rarely went out.

However, Yan Yan Lingji was, after all, extremely beautiful. Bringing her along would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

So, Su Xuan made Yan Yan Lingji cover her face, slightly concealing her stunning beauty.

This made Yan Yan Lingji a bit depressed.

You are the wanted criminal, the regicide—although I’m not much better, how can I compare to your heinous crimes?

Yet you make me cover my face while you do nothing?

With this mood.

Yan Yan Lingji followed behind Su Xuan and finally arrived at a certain place.

Looking at the building in front, Yan Yan Lingji was stunned.

Just by looking at the decorations, she knew what kind of place this was.

It was clearly a place of pleasure.

At a time like this, this guy still has the mood to visit here?

Yan Yan Lingji didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh!

Su Xuan didn't explain anything.

He took Yan Yan Lingji straight to the back of Zilan Xuan, and then used the wind-borrowing technique again, letting the wind carry him and Yan Yan Lingji, and they flew into Zilan Xuan with ease.

Then, he flicked his finger, and a loud boom echoed.

Such a disturbance naturally attracted the attention of the people in Zilan Xuan, especially since it happened in the backyard.

Not long after, two figures hurried over.

One was dressed in fine clothes with white hair—it was Wei Zhuang, whom Su Xuan had met once at the entrance of Liu Yi’s mansion. The other was dressed in tight purple clothes, with purple hair, exquisite features, and a mature feminine charm.

It was the madam of Zilan Xuan, Zi Nu!
