Chapter 1607: Being a Son of Man in vain
Chapter 1607: Being a Son of Man in vain
The whole scene fell silent again. Everyone looked at the figure in the spirit cage with incredible and disbelieving eyes, and felt a chill for a moment.
However, the unknown doubts that had lingered in their hearts for many years finally seemed to be resolved at this moment.
Just like where does absolute light come from in this world, even in the pure mirror of the heart there can be shadows of evil spirits.
The brighter the light, the deeper the dark side hidden.
Since ancient times, he has been the Father Emperor God who created the world. He conquered the Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces and the Upper Pure Land. However, his life was not entirely upright. There were also many unbearable rumors about him, such as combining with the Demon King and giving birth to an illegitimate child.
It means, where in this world is there anything that is absolutely pure and white like snow, clean and pure, remaining alone for thousands of years, and remaining unchanged in character.
Not to mention, the bloodline of this Kunlun Queen is not of pure immortal lineage. The Yao clan cultivated an immortal body and created a new clan of demon fairies, which is a miracle that goes against the laws of nature.
To achieve the mind of a saint by using the body of a demon fairy is inherently fraught with doubts.
Who knows whether this saint hides a devil's heart?
In the battle between immortals and demons, the immortals won the remnant victory, but at an extremely painful price they won a peaceful and prosperous era that would last for ten thousand years. Over the years, the demons have been unable to rise up.
Who can guarantee whether this demon fairy queen has arranged for the demons in their fairyland a sharp blade that is difficult to detect but deadly at the critical moment.
Those who fall into evil will perish.
Even the old god Ao Qing was able to disguise himself as a true immortal in the mountains for so many years. So what is impossible in this world?
And now, Kunlun Mountain is about to collapse and sink, and His Majesty the Emperor, one of the Five Immortals of Heaven and Earth, has also died inexplicably.
In the past, who could have imagined that under the nose of the Lord of Kunlun, Kunlun would be overthrown, her husband would die tragically, the Water God Kingdom would become the property of others, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces would be in danger of collapse.
Things that were completely impossible to happen are happening one after another before our eyes.
Thinking about it this way, all these misfortunes seemed to be caused by the trial of divine punishment.
The Trial of Divine Punishment was initiated by the Queen herself, and it ushered in an unprecedented golden rain.
After this, the monks who should have finished the trial stayed in the mountain because the Queen Mother summoned the mountain kings to become her disciples.
Even the powerful hidden immortals who never leave the world were attracted into the mountains one after another.
When all these things are connected together, one can really smell a strong conspiracy.
If a mortal wants to change his fate, he will have to pay an unimaginable price.
The sage's fate chart was already engraved in the laws of nature tens of millions of years ago, as if it were destined.
If a saint wants to defy fate and change his destiny, the price he has to pay is to sacrifice all human life, right? !
No wonder... Although she has protected her people for so many years, she has never shown any love and affection as a holy lord to them.
Now it seems that isn't it just like what is recorded in the Ancient Demonic Scroll, the evil spirit that treats its own people and believers like pigs and sheep.
The laws of nature cannot discern the good and evil in this world, so how can they, with their naked eyes and supernatural powers, discern the truth beneath the holy cloak?
"That's ridiculous." Suddenly, a petite and weak figure appeared in the crowd.
Seeing the person coming, Qingshui and Qingxuan's faces changed and they said in a lost voice, "Young Prince."
Master Fanshu also frowned, and his expression showed that he was extremely displeased.
"Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness. What are you doing here on the battlefield? This is not the place for Your Highness to be."
The little mountain lady was dressed in a black dress, looking quiet and elegant. She stood in the crowd with a pretty face, childish eyebrows and eyes, a pointed chin, and a delicate body. In such a chaotic scene, she looked very calm and elegant, with a tranquil face.
She looked sideways at Master Fanshu calmly and said, "My mother is being pressed step by step by these people now. If I continue to be a sickly person in my Spring and Autumn Palace, wouldn't that be too unreasonable?"
Nu Fan frowned, now that Kunlun Mountain had lost its power, she was not even afraid of Cangnan Yi, let alone the small and weak mountain king in front of her who existed in name only.
Her voice became increasingly cold and compelling, and she said in a cold voice: "How can stating the facts be considered as forcing you step by step? She watched coldly and let her husband be besieged and killed by the rebels, and turned a blind eye to the letters asking for help and reinforcements, allowing the True Immortal Sect to attack the city and plunder the land.
With the ability of the Queen, if she had not let it go, how could the True Immortal Sect have grown? There is a saying in the world that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if the Queen is a saint, a mistake is a mistake, and a crime is a crime. "
On a snowy night with a chill wind, her blue shirt and red sleeves fluttered in the wind, and the small bronze book hanging from her slender waist swayed in the wind. The little mountain lady raised her chin slightly, and in the faint light, her snow-white profile was clean and neat, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, and her ethereal voice sounded softly like a whisper.
"Your Highness Fan, what you said is really contradictory. My mother and father were separated first, and since they were separated, they have no relationship anymore. How can she be guilty of allowing her husband to die in battle?"
The little mountain king looked at Nvfan steadily, his expression quite serious: "Lady Nvfan, do you know what the separation of Kunlun and the water god means? This means that the covenant between the two worlds that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years has officially ended. It was my father who was reluctant to leave the protection of Kunlun Mountain after the separation, and stayed in Kunlun Mountain with his domain. My father..."
At this point, Xiao Shanjun chuckled without any reservations and said lightly: "I believe you all know a lot about his personality. I don't need to say much about why he wants to stay in Kunlun Mountain."
Nufan's face was full of rebuke: "Your Highness Shanjun, what you said is so cold and indifferent. That was your biological father! He was besieged and died on the battlefield, but Your Highness showed no intention of mourning for him. I can't see any grief from Your Highness. Do you still want to argue with me today?"
Nu Fan snorted coldly, “Regardless of who or what caused the Empress to separate from His Majesty, even if they did, His Majesty is one of the Five Immortals of Heaven and Earth, the leader of all immortals, so how can we, as Taoists, stand by and watch.
Even if we have nothing to do with them, as immortals, when an immortal is in trouble, we should understand the tragedy of the immortal's death and the whole world's grief. People of our generation should take the lead and lend a helping hand."
Xiao Shanjun said: "Then according to Lady Fan, those who have the ability to do so but stand by and watch the destruction of the Water God Realm and the tragic death of the emperor are guilty?"
"Of course! The Queen is very powerful in Taoism. Even if she is injured, she still has enough strength to fight the enemy. Kunlun is powerful, and there are many powerful demons and immortals guarding the territory. If she is not colluding with the traitors, even if she does not come in person, it is not difficult for her to send her elite soldiers and generals! So I really can't imagine what the Queen is thinking!"
Xiao Shanjun nodded in agreement, looked at her calmly, and suddenly smiled softly, saying, "If that's the case, then everyone present here is guilty. I wonder if Lady Fan, who cares about morality and justice, can judge them one by one?"
Nv Fan was startled and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
The smile on Xiao Shanjun's face faded, and his eyes gradually turned cold: "Is this the only letter from father asking for help? Is he the only scout sent from the Water God Mountain?
Is it true that the only person my father sought help from was Kunlun Mountain? You are all powerful immortals, gathered here as ministers under the name of Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan. The Water God Realm was in a state of national collapse, and in such a state of panic and helplessness, how could my father only ask for help from my mother alone? "
"Come out!"
Following Xiao Shanjun's clear shout, several figures stumbled out of the crowd and knelt on the snow in front of her.
The clothes of those people were covered with new blood and old blood. They did not change their clothes. They were still dressed in the military uniforms of the warriors and scouts of the Water God clan.
"Your Highness, please allow me to report! The Water God Kingdom has encountered a great disaster. The King has been imprisoned and his life is in danger. He has sent 578 elite scouts to leave the mountain to seek help. The target of the request is not only the Queen. The King has issued a strict order that all the immortals in the mountain and outside, famous cultivators from all directions, and immortal sects and religions who can help should send his handwritten letter to the King at all costs. But... but no one received it, no one accepted it!!!"
The wind and snow grew stronger, and snowflakes came all over the girl's face, hitting her beautiful white face quickly and densely.
She had no spiritual power to isolate herself from the wind and snow, and she had just recovered from a serious illness. Her face quickly turned pale as paper, and even the tiny purple blood vessels under the skin of her slender neck were clearly visible. Her lips were only a faint red, and a hint of softness and illness was revealed.
She seemed to be so cold that her face turned pale, and there was frost and snow between her long, black eyelashes like crow feathers, which made this frail little mountain prince feel even colder and gloomy under his delicate illness.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and for a moment, they didn't dare to look into the dark eyes of the frail and sickly little mountain man.
It was the female official of Qingshui who felt sorry for her pale and frail appearance, so she took off her outer robe, walked over and put it on her shoulders.
The little tiger queen did not mind the blood stains on Qingshui's robe. She gathered the robe that was too big for her, took two steps forward, and stood on a cold stone with her weak figure and eyes lowered. The young tiger queen now had a look of arrogance.
He swept his cold eyes over the crowd, and said in a clear and childish voice without any pressure, very calmly: "My father is dead and my mother is injured. Are you guys bullying me, Kunlun, where there is no one left?"
Nv Fan's heart sank, thinking that the situation seemed to be heading in a bad direction.
She looked gloomy and lowered her eyelids. When she was in a bad mood, the old wound on her right arm began to ache again, making her feel even more irritated.
"From what the young prince said, it seems that he still wants to punish us."
Xiao Shanjun's posture remained the same in the rough wind, and her black hair fluttering in the wind almost blended into the night, making her facial features look deeper and more beautiful than her age.
She raised her lips and smiled, with a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Of course not. If one person feels that he has done something wrong, it is easy for others to convict him. But if everyone does this, everyone will always know it tacitly and feel that the mistake has been made. However, there are all kinds of reasons to make it justified. This is a common practice used by the world, and even upright people are not immune to it.
It's just that you can't do it yourself, so how can you have the face to criticize my mother here, easily judge her faults, and willfully assume the greatest malice against her?"
Nv Fan was shocked. Her clever plan was messed up by a little girl at this moment.
In the battle at the Water God Kingdom, the scouts and spies sent out by Emperor Jun Chenghuang were basically wiped out by Qingao's death squad.
The monsters under Qingao's command have always done things efficiently and cleanly, leaving no clues.
This little girl has no cultivation skills and has been recuperating for many years without being involved in political affairs. She has such skills and can still keep these back-up plans in such a situation. It really caught her off guard.
What's even more terrible is that this little girl has a special identity. She is the biological child of Emperor Chenghuang and the Goddess. She protects her parents in the name of their children. She has a legitimate reason and every word she says is reasonable. Even if Lian Heli kills his son, she can use him as a living son to kill back and completely sever the contractual relationship between Kunlun and the Water God clan.
There was no way she could let Cangnan Yi pass away as he wished, wouldn't that be too easy for her!
And if Qingao couldn't accomplish his goal, how could she achieve the wish that she had been obsessed with for many years?
What else can I do? If I want to successfully prevent Cangnan Yi from becoming a Buddha through self-destruction, I can only continue to tarnish her reputation.
But this little girl was obviously well prepared, so how should she continue?
In the eyes of Nv Fan, Xiao Shanjun has always been just a sickly person who can't do anything. She never expected that she has the ability to calm down the chaos with a calm mind.
What's even more hateful is that every word this little girl says is full of hidden secrets and traps. She is actually someone who is used to setting traps for others to fall into. It is obvious that she was raised by that demon fairy saint, but why is there an indescribable evil meaning in her words and actions?
This completely disrupted the rhythm of her plan. She really didn't know how to deal with it. She could only cast a gloomy look in the direction of Qingao for help.
But from the beginning to the end, facing the aggressive crowd of immortals, Qing Ao put away his strong murderous intent and had no intention of intervening at all.
Just like an outsider, he crossed his arms, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Nu Fan suddenly felt uneasy, but she had always been aware of Qingao's abilities.
He was so calm and composed, could it be that he had some backup plan that she didn't know about...
Before this thought could be confirmed, the Water God Clan scout who had been kneeling in front of her and remained silent for a long time suddenly lost control of his emotions and roared:
"Speculation?! Your Highness actually said this was malicious speculation?! You are unworthy of being a son! You are unworthy of being a son!!!"
The female fan's eyes tightened.
What's happening here.
She had never arranged scouts to target Xiaoshanjun.
In response to the insults from the scout, Xiao Shanjun remained calm and looked down at him: "What do you want to say?!"
The scout gnashed his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was filled with hatred. "If you say that your majesty and your lord are separated and you don't want to get involved in the affairs of Water God Mountain, then that's fine. I know that over the years, because of that marriage agreement, your lord has acted recklessly and caused a lot of trouble outside. It was also thanks to the help and protection of Kunlun Mountain. Your majesty is a peerless person, and it is human nature for her to look down on your lord for wanting to separate.
Your Majesty has protected the people of the Water God for hundreds of thousands of years, and you can say that you have done your utmost in this marriage!
Even though she was trapped in the calamity period and had no time to care about the battle at Water God Mountain, the collapse of the Water God Realm was due to fate, and it was also closely related to the fact that my Lord had no intention of working hard to govern the country, and it had nothing to do with the Empress. "
Nv Fan never expected that the scout would say this.
This is the truth, and others may feel so in their hearts, but when the soldiers of the Water God Clan say it out loud, Cangnan Yi's original responsibility and fault were washed away by him.
How could she exaggerate this one point of responsibility and exaggerate it to the point of being 100% guilty?
Where did Qingao find such a stubborn person?
"But!" The scout became more and more agitated and angry. He stood up from the ground, the hatred growing wildly in his eyes, like a raging fire devouring the long night, but his tone was filled with blood and tears:
"But! Why did the Queen want to kill my Lord? Why did she want to kill my Lord? Even though we are no longer husband and wife, we are still the Five Immortals of Heaven and Earth. We share the same bond of love for hundreds of thousands of years. She really shouldn't... really shouldn't be so cruel to my Lord!"
The scene suddenly became completely chaotic!
"What?! Didn't His Majesty die on the battlefield?! How can you say it was the Queen's doing!"
"How could Her Majesty do this! The entire Shuishen Mountain was conquered by that traitor. At that time, the Lord was already a bird in a cage, at the mercy of others. There was no need for others to take his life. In the eyes of the enemy... In the eyes of the enemy..."
As he spoke, the man seemed to gradually come to understand something. His words became more hesitant, and his expression became more terrified.
Nu Fan reacted very quickly. She would not miss this great opportunity. She sneered and said, "Even if the king has no power to resist at that time and can only be slaughtered, it is precisely because of this that he is not a hidden danger in the eyes of the enemy."
Since he is a hidden danger, killing him is naturally useless. On the contrary, it is better to say that his identity as a monarch makes him more useful alive than dead.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Qing Ao.
Perhaps he felt everyone's gaze, Qing Ao, who had been pretending to be asleep, finally opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and said: "If I say that the emperor died in my hands, can you believe it?"
It is of course not credible.
He had absolutely no reason to do so, and having killed the five immortals of heaven and earth, he should bear the consequences of heavenly punishment and bring about a heavenly calamity across the eight wildernesses.
However, when the catastrophe of heaven comes, the person who can survive it is not Qingao.
This means that the person who killed the king was someone else!
“But…but even if there is something strange about the death of His Majesty, it cannot be said that it was done by the Queen. The Queen has been in the mountains and has never gone out. Moreover, the person who is undergoing the tribulation now is not the Queen…”
If you think about it carefully, it can't be the Empress.
The Queen's calamity has come. At such a critical moment, how could she take the initiative to provoke the killing and divine punishment from the Emperor?
Isn't this just destroying your own life?
The scout suddenly burst into tears. He cried bitterly, and laughed at the same time. He said sadly, "Of course she couldn't do it herself. I sent a letter to her but to no avail. I rushed back to the battlefield overnight, intending to return to the king and die to show my loyalty. But when I returned to the battlefield, you can guess what I saw."
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
Everyone tensed up and looked intently at the scout. They lowered their voices and asked, "What did you see?"
The scout laughed loudly: "What did you see?! What on earth did I see?!"
His face suddenly became extremely ferocious and hateful. He turned his head and looked at Cangnanyi with hatred. Tears rolled in his eyes and he said hatefully, "I! See! Si Chen, the hostage of the Corpse Demon King Clan, who was sealed with the Moonlight Lock by the Immortal Master himself, appeared on the battlefield of my Water God Kingdom! He is the leader of the enemy army!"
He pointed his finger at the culprit Qing Ao, gritting his teeth and saying, "That corpse demon Si Chen was in the same group with the traitorous rebels to attack Shuishen Mountain! It was that corpse demon Si Chen who killed my Lord on Shuishen Mountain! Afterwards, Qing Ao even promised to hand over my Shuishen Kingdom to that corpse demon!
This is a conspiracy! It’s a huge conspiracy between the old god, the corpse demon clan, and the demon fairy clan!”
The words shouted at the top of their lungs became the most powerful evidence, pushing down the sacred and immortal mountain in everyone's heart.
Everyone's heart was roaring, the blood in their bodies was extremely cold, and their bones were trembling. For a moment, they didn't know how to accept this horrific truth.
The old god, the evil god, Kunlun Mountain...
The corpse demon proton obtained from the Immortal Master Zhu Zhan contains the supreme and terrifying power of the evil god!
What is she going to do? !
What is she going to do? ! ! !
What on earth does she want to do? ! ! !
The Queen has been calm and indifferent for thousands of years, without any emotion or desire, so why would she fall in love with a young corpse demon?
This feeling is bizarre and goes against common sense.
What's more, the purpose of the action is too clear.
Huge doubts and unknown fears weighed on everyone's soul. Someone immediately lost control of his emotions and said in a trembling voice: "That corpse demon proton has clearly been sealed by the moonlight lock. How could he have the power to kill His Majesty the Emperor! Unless... unless..."
He looked at Cangnanyi with trembling eyes, his breath seemed to be strangled, and he said in a cold voice: "Only the queen can have such a great ability! I don't believe it... I don't believe that there is anyone else in the world who can have such a skill?"
"This is ridiculous!" Xiao Shanjun's eyes were cold. "Even if Si Chen had unlocked the Moonlight Lock on his body, his cultivation level would not be higher than the Tribulation Merger God Realm. His father is a Venerable Immortal, so how could he kill him? This is just nonsense!"
“You…you!” The scout pointed at the little mountain lord tremblingly, his face showing disappointment and resentment. “Your Highness is unworthy of being a human being! Everyone in the mountain knows that Your Highness has a crush on that corpse demon. You clearly know that the corpse demon hangs out in the Queen’s palace every night to have fun, yet you still rush to worship him as your master. You have no sense of shame and have read the books of sages in vain…You…you…”
He looked full of hatred and resentment, and also had a strong desire to struggle. In the end, all his intense emotions turned into a torrent of extreme revenge, and he laughed loudly: "You bastard! The Lord shouldn't have had mercy on you and agreed to raise you in this mountain!"
"shut up!"
After hearing this, Qingshui and Qingxuan could no longer bear it, and even murderous intent flashed in their eyes!
(Integration chapter. My chest is aching a bit. I will update this much for today. I will make up for it later.)
