Chapter 356: Poison of Anger

~12 min read 2,315 words

After parting with Hua Changxi, Jing Le did not leave immediately. He wanted to know Hua Changxi's choice, so he stood on the street and looked in the direction of the Duke of Liang's Prefecture.

On the third floor of a restaurant less than ten meters away from him, two heads poked out, waving fiercely at Jing Le: "Senior Brother Jing Le."

Jing Le looked in the direction of the sound; it was Wen Lanzhou from the Tianshi Prefecture and Jie Xian from the Xiangguo Temple.

"Senior Brother Jing Le, we have brewed spiritual tea, come up and have a cup."

Jing Le did not refuse and walked to the restaurant, entering the private room of Wen Lanzhou and Jie Xian: "Why are you here?"

Wen Lanzhou smiled: "When the Medical Department only had the Qihuang Pavilion and the Lingjing Pavilion, the Imperial Family and the Xia family were the ones causing trouble, but at least it didn't affect us."

"But ever since the Jiujie Hall was established and the so-called Alchemist Assessment Regulations were promulgated, it directly turned the Medical Department upside down."

"Before, it was just the people above fighting, but now, the fighting has spread to the bottom. The Medical Department is so chaotic... I don't even want to talk about it. We two can only hide out to avoid the trouble."

Who would have thought that they would be so lucky as to run into the scene of Hua Changxi appearing to settle scores with the Duke of Liang's Prefecture.

Jing Le: "... The Dan Saint Hall is indeed quite chaotic."

In the Dan Saint Hall, there are too many factions, which is very unfavorable for the recovery and development of the holy land.

If someone could stand up and suppress or end the chaos in the Dan Saint Hall, it would definitely be a good thing for the Central Continent.

Changxi is one of the few people who has revealed that she possesses the great fortune of the human race. The elders of the five great holy lands actually think highly of her, but they still have doubts about whether she can shoulder the responsibility of the Dan Saint Hall.

The operation of the five great holy lands is related to the entire Central Continent. Someone who only knows how to use force to solve problems certainly cannot become the master of a holy land.

As for the matter of the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, all parties know who is right and who is wrong. The pushing of the Imperial Family is a situation that all parties are happy to see, just to weigh Changxi's worth.

For many people, those who only focus on improving their strength but do not pay attention to how to conduct themselves can only be considered reckless men and cannot shoulder any heavy responsibilities.

Jing Le sighed. He always felt that the current Changxi's heart was still in a state of confusion. A person who has not thought clearly about who they are will not want to take the initiative to take responsibility.

Jie Xian looked at the silent Jing Le and asked: "Senior Brother Jing Le just went to dissuade Hua Changxi?"

Jing Le shook his head: "If a person really wants to do something, outsiders cannot dissuade them. I just went to remind Changxi to ask her own heart more."

The Xiangguo Temple and the Dixiu Temple have close contacts, and Jie Xian knows Jing Le quite well, so he could probably guess what he went to do with Hua Changxi: "Hua Changxi's strength is quite strong, but... her cultivation is still very lacking."

Hearing this, Jing Le and Wen Lanzhou both looked over.

Jie Xian looked at the two: "Among the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, let's not talk about the other two for now, but the poison of anger in Hua Changxi is not light. A person who cannot control their anger is like a time bomb, which may explode at any time."

Jing Le frowned: "Junior Brother is exaggerating."

Jie Xian did not refute and smiled: "I'm just talking about some signs I observed. Many of Hua Changxi's remarks are very aggressive when encountering positions and concepts different from hers."

Hearing this, Jing Le was silent.

Wen Lanzhou saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly broke the silence: "Senior Brother Jing Le, why didn't you accompany Hua Changxi to the Duke of Liang's Prefecture?"

Jing Le: "Some roads need to be walked by oneself. If I followed, no matter what Changxi's final decision is, it might be influenced and interfered with by me."

"Only by facing it alone and making decisions entirely on her own can she see her own heart clearly."

Jing Le paused and looked in another direction of the restaurant: "When did the Demon-Suppressing Army arrive?"

Jie Xian: "Just one step earlier than you. The leader is the First Prince, Chu Junling."

Wen Lanzhou smiled: "The left and right generals of the Demon-Suppressing Army are both members of the Imperial Family. Whether it is Chu Junling or Chu Junyi, it actually makes no difference."

Jie Xian shook his head, showing disapproval: "Chu Junyi and Chu Junling are still somewhat different. Chu Junling is more about weighing the interests of the Imperial Family, while Chu Junyi is wholeheartedly towards the Central Holy Land."

"After all, he is a Qilin child, and his focus is not limited to the scope of the Imperial Family, but the entire Central Continent."

As he spoke, Jie Xian looked at Jing Le: "After the Xuanyuan Prefecture appeared, the Minister of the Heaven Department recalled Chu Junyi from Jiuyou and sent him directly into the Xuanyuan Prefecture. Recently, I heard that the Xuanyuan Prefecture has had quite a lot of movement. Does Senior Brother Jing Le know the inside story?"

Jing Le shook his head. Not everyone can enter or leave the Xuanyuan Prefecture now.

With the Xuanyuan Prefecture as the center, a radius of a hundred miles has been taken over by the Demon-Suppressing Army, and they are in the midst of building Xuanyuan City.

At the same time, Hua Changxi had already been standing outside the Duke of Liang's Prefecture for a quarter of an hour.

Inside the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, the Heir Yin was quite dissatisfied with this, feeling that this was Hua Changxi's blatant provocation to the Duke's Prefecture. He didn't believe that the entire Duke of Liang's Prefecture couldn't take down one Hua Changxi.

"Come here, follow this Heir..."

The Duke of Liang looked at the Heir Yin coldly and questioned coldly: "What are you going to do?"

The Heir Yin was emotionally agitated: "Hua Changxi has already come to the door. If we don't have any reaction, wouldn't we become turtles with their heads in their shells?"

The Duke of Liang looked at Yin Yunzhou: "What do you think of Hua Changxi's strength?"

Yin Yunzhou showed bitterness, knowing that his words might affect the decision of the Duke and the Heir, so he didn't dare to hide anything: "Returning to the Duke, Hua Changxi's strength is unfathomable."

"I was caught in front of her without any perception. Her one look made me feel a splitting headache."

"If you say she is just a Nascent Soul cultivator, I absolutely don't believe it."

After hearing this, the Duke of Liang recalled the sword Hua Changxi slashed out that "seemed to want to burn his flesh and soul to ashes at the same time." He closed his eyes in fear and only spoke after a long while.

"The Imperial Family and the five great holy lands have an agreement that cultivators cannot take action in the capital. Hua Changxi was also present when this rule was formulated."

"Pass the order down, unless Hua Changxi attacks the Duke's Prefecture, no one is allowed to act rashly."

The Heir Yin thought that his promotion depended on the help of the Imperial Family, so he couldn't help but speak: "Father, Old Prince Tianxun has sent word..."

The Duke of Liang's cold eyes shot over like flying knives, directly scaring the Heir Yin into closing his mouth.

"What is the cause of my becoming like this?"

"Hmph, the Duke of Ying is smarter than me after all. When Chu Tianxun issued the order to pursue Hua Changxi, he knew how to play dumb and retreat."

"Just me, I became the vanguard, I became cannon fodder."

The Duke of Liang's aura fluctuated violently. It took a long time for his breathing to stabilize: "Hua Changxi possesses great fortune. Facing such a person will lead to great karma."

"The Imperial Family didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they pushed the Duke of Liang's Prefecture out."

The Duke of Liang looked at his son, his expression cold and serious: "Remember, the Yin family can be a knife for the Imperial Family, but it cannot be a sacrifice for the Imperial Family."

The Heir Yin showed hesitation: "... But, we must have an explanation, right?"

The Duke of Liang sneered: "Explanation my ass. Even if we do nothing, the Imperial Family won't dare to say anything, unless the Imperial Family wants to chill the hearts of other followers."

The Heir Yin stopped talking immediately.

The Duke of Liang's Prefecture was quiet, but Hua Changxi outside the door had movement.

Fighting violence with violence is indeed not a way to solve the problem. Unless she slaughters everyone in the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, the Duke of Liang's Prefecture and the Hua family will really fall into a situation of life and death.

She didn't have that much time to get entangled in such rotten things!

In the final analysis, she was chased, asked for the Profound Yellow Fruit, and the Hua family was trapped in the Count Dingyuan's Prefecture, all because of the Duke of Liang.

Hua Changxi suddenly turned back and looked at the restaurant where Jing Le and the others were. The next moment, her spiritual voice spread in all directions.

"General Chu Junling, I came here this time to post a notice to the Duke of Liang. You and your subordinates don't need to be so aggressive."

After speaking, without waiting for Chu Junling in the restaurant to react, Hua Changxi flipped her wrist, and a ball of flame instantly condensed. With a "whoosh," the flame flew into the Duke of Liang's Prefecture.

The flame flew to the sky above the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, and with a loud "boom," the flame exploded like fireworks, and the fifth-grade defensive formation of the Duke of Liang's Prefecture instantly disintegrated.

Sparks fell and condensed into characters: Wait for the arrival on Danyuan Peak in three days.

The "notice" was posted, and Hua Changxi turned and left.

Chu Junling in the restaurant was not surprised that Hua Changxi had discovered him, but looking at the departing Hua Changxi, he shook his head in disappointment.

Using spiritual power to post a "notice," although it blew up the defensive formation of the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, it couldn't be considered a "real" fight. Sending the Demon-Suppressing Army to hold her accountable would be a bit far-fetched.

Sigh, Hua Changxi was more restrained than he imagined, and the Duke of Liang was more cowardly than he imagined.

Chu Junling glanced at the private room where Jing Le and the three were, his brows slightly furrowed. Hua Changxi's relationship with other holy lands was also much deeper than the Imperial Family thought!

Inside the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, the Duke of Liang looked at the flaming characters in the sky, his hands clenched into fists.

At first glance, this line of handwriting seemed to be Hua Changxi inviting him to Danyuan Peak to solve the matter, but in fact, Hua Changxi used a wisp of flame to break the defensive formation of the Duke of Liang's Prefecture. This was clearly intimidation, it was coercion.

Hua Changxi was not going to solve the matter, but was waiting for him to go to Danyuan Peak to publicly bow his head and admit his mistake!

Leaving the Duke of Liang's Prefecture, Hua Changxi did not go to the Count Dingyuan's Prefecture, but went straight to the Heaven Department.

Last time, because of the Danyuan Secret Realm, the Hua family was implicated because of her. In the end, the Minister of the Heaven Department came forward to solve the Hua family's predicament.

This time, it was the Count Dingyuan's Prefecture that took the Hua family to live there.

But what about next time?

Hua Changxi knew that she was very easy to offend people. She didn't want to see her family encounter bad things because of her. She must thoroughly solve the problem of her family being easily implicated by her.

As for how to arrange her family, the first person she thought of was to find Wei Zhenjie.

The Central Holy Land has a pivotal position in the Central Continent. If the Hua family became disciples of the Central Holy Land, they would naturally be protected by the Central Holy Land.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhenjie was not in the Heaven Department, and his return date was uncertain.

Hua Changxi pondered for a moment outside the Heaven Department, looked towards the south, and walked quickly out of the capital.

"Jiuniang!"

Seeing Hua Liulang learned from Seeing Tong Yao that Hua Changxi had appeared, so he hurried back to the capital.

Just as he arrived at the former South City Gate with Seeing Tong Yao and Yan Zhenzhen, he saw a red figure flying away from their sight like a meteor.

Seeing Hua Liulang recognized it was Hua Changxi and said anxiously: "Why did Jiuniang leave again? Where is she going?"

Seeing Tong Yao looked at the direction Hua Changxi flew: "The direction Changxi went seems to be... the Xuanyuan Prefecture." ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
