Chapter 610

"Shangguan my lord's guess is quite accurate."

Cang Que rarely praised anyone, then said with a serious expression,

"Yan Chixia did not admit to coming from the Xuanxinzheng Sect, but the Dao art he used seems to be called the 'Mysterious Heart Profound Art'!"

"Combined with the reason he fought me — to stop me from killing the Yue Lingshan Grandmother, so as to prevent the unsealing of the Yin Moon Cave Heaven and the emergence of the Yin Moon Dynasty."

"Therefore I agree with Shangguan my lord's speculation: this person is very likely a top expert of the Xuanxinzheng Sect!"

The Xuanxinzheng Sect has now placed two great experts on the rankings: Xuan Wu and Zhu Que.

Both ranks are not low!

Who would have thought that now another top-tier powerhouse, no weaker than the Heavenly Demon Cang Que, would appear.

Wu Zetian was shaken in her heart, and turned to ask an official of the Qintian Observatory,

"What is the progress on the National Preceptor contacting the Xuanxinzheng Sect?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the National Preceptor has been divining and deducing day and night, and says there are leads; perhaps in not too long, contact with the Xuanxinzheng Sect can be made."

The official immediately replied.

"Speed up the progress! One Yan Chixia alone could perform like this."

"Clearly the strength of this Xuanxinzheng Sect will exceed our expectations."

Wu Zetian still had one thing unsaid: since the Yin Moon Dynasty's Yin Moon Cave Heaven was right in the Lanruo Temple of Guobei Town within the Great Tang,

then the Xuanxinzheng Sect was clearly also hiding within the Great Tang Realm.

Two terrifyingly powerful forces, hidden right under their very noses.

No matter which emperor, they would not sleep soundly.

Cang Que naturally also knew of Wu Zetian's concerns, and said,

"Your Majesty need not worry too much. Although that Yan Chixia comes from the Xuanxinzheng Sect, I sense he has already severed ties with the Xuanxinzheng Sect."

"Moreover, from his words, the Xuanxinzheng Sect seems to be far worse than before; its strength is no longer as great as the Yin Moon Dynasty's."

"That is why he has been guarding Lanruo Temple all along — he does not want the Yin Moon Dynasty to wreak havoc upon the world."

"The Yin Moon Dynasty is actually above the Xuanxinzheng Sect?"

This answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment, and said to Shangguan Wan,

"Wan, make arrangements to investigate this Yan Chixia."

"Although he is a top-tier powerhouse and information will certainly be hard to come by, he must still have a wife, children, or elderly family."

"Once any information is found, report to me immediately."

"Since he no longer belongs to the Xuanxinzheng Sect, it should be feasible for me to win him over to the Great Tang."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers responded in unison.

Cang Que also nodded in approval, and said,

"If we could serve alongside Yan Chixia, and with opportunities like the Long Yin Cave, our Great Tang would surely gain the upper hand."

His understanding was still stuck at the battle of Long Yin Cave.

Although Shangguan Wan did not wish to, she still spoke up to remind him,

"Heavenly Demon, you may have a misunderstanding."

"In the last battle of Long Yin Cave, neither Seeing Di Shitian nor the Xiao Jingtian brothers were in their full condition."

"In the recent battle at the Yunzhou Imperial City, Xiao Aoshi, without even using the Myriad Dao Forest, already crushed many experts on the field."

"Xiao Jingtian even revealed his true form as a Demon God in broad daylight…"

"Prince Tuo Lei died again?"

Great Yuan, Imperial Court.

Tie Muzhen glanced at this issue of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Several issues of the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking and the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking had seemed determined to push Great Yuan into the grave.

This time it was fine — nothing outrageous had happened.

Just as he was about to speak, unexpectedly Bi Xuan rushed in, hurriedly carrying Prince Tuo Lei.

"Great Khan, Great Khan, this is bad…"

"Prince Tuo Lei died again?"

Tie Muzhen saw Prince Tuo Lei being carried and thought Prince Tuo Lei had been killed again.

His heart ached, and he nearly fainted.

Fortunately, Bo Yan stepped forward in time and channeled a stream of true Qi into him, and he slowly came to.

"Where is Prince Tuo Lei! Where is Prince Tuo Lei! My poor Prince Tuo Lei."

Saying so, Tie Muzhen stepped forward, took Prince Tuo Lei from Bi Xuan's arms, and wept ceaselessly,

"My son! How could your fate be so bitter…"

In no time, Tie Muzhen was weeping with tears and snot streaming down, looking utterly heartbroken.

Bi Xuan watched from the side, dumbfounded, unsure whether he should interrupt his Great Khan.

Prince Tuo Lei was Tie Muzhen's youngest legitimate son, and Tie Muzhen had always felt this son most resembled him.

Therefore he had placed great hopes in Prince Tuo Lei.

Otherwise, how could Prince Tuo Lei have once commanded a hundred thousand Kesig troops and gone to Western Xia?

And how could he have become the second Thirteen Wings after Zhamuhe?

All of it stemmed from Tie Muzhen's favor toward him.

Of all days, Prince Tuo Lei, who had just ascended the Heavenly Dao Golden List, once again "died a violent death"?

Watching Bi Xuan thought it over, and felt that if he didn't speak up now, once the misunderstanding was cleared, he wouldn't get off easy either.

He could only brace himself and say,

"Great Khan, please calm yourself. Prince Tuo Lei, he…"

"Who killed him?"

Tie Muzhen didn't wait for Watching Bi Xuan to finish speaking. A pair of eyes, like a lone wolf's, stared viciously at Watching Bi Xuan.

As if regarding him as the murderer of his son.

Watching Bi Xuan felt a chill in his heart under that gaze. How could he let the misunderstanding continue,

"Prince Tuo Lei isn't dead…"

"Not dead?"

Hearing this, Tie Muzhen finally lowered his head to look.

He discovered that Tuo Lei still had a faint breath, as if he had fallen asleep.

He was pondering why Tuo Lei had fallen asleep, and why he had been carried back by Watching Bi Xuan.

He happened to touch the back of his head and found a very large bump.

"Who did it?"

How would Watching Bi Xuan know that what Tie Muzhen was asking was who had caused the bump on the back of the head.

He instinctively assumed Tie Muzhen was asking who had laid hands on Tuo Lei.

When Watching Bi Xuan and the others arrived at the matter of Jin Ling, only Zhamuhe and Qiu Lingsu were still conscious.

Luo Xian and Water Mother Yin Ji had long since departed.

Therefore, Watching Bi Xuan and the other Great Yuan worshippers unanimously believed that Zhamuhe had already been controlled by Qiu Lingsu using her Bewitching Eyes.

That was why he had brazenly struck a lethal blow against Tuo Lei.

And Tuo Lei, caught off guard, had to bear this heavy burden of grave injury.

Watching Bi Xuan then recounted everything in detail.

After Tie Muzhen finished listening, he felt utterly astonished,

"Watching Bi Xuan, are your words true?

Old brother Zhamuhe is this Khan's anda. How many years of friendship have we shared? Qi Society would betray me over a mere woman, let alone beat Tuo Lei into grave injury?"

Bo Yan, having heard it all, also found it strange, but over ten worshippers had come with Watching Bi Xuan.

Yet they spoke with one voice, all saying Zhamuhe had been captivated by Qiu Lingsu's beauty, and thus bewitched by the Bewitching Eyes.

"Despicable!"
