Chapter 305: It's not the witch, but Mu Xue, the empress escapes

From the first half of the night to the second half of the night.

The noise in the hall never stopped.

A black beam of light shot up into the sky.

A piece of tortoise shell escaped from Lu Mingyuan's body, but his consciousness was completely immersed in the spiritual world and he was unable to notice it.

Until one moment, the clear sound of birds was heard outside the hall, and the black fire was completely extinguished in the hall.

It was already daybreak.

Beside the bed, scattered Taoist robes, white single clothes, red rope belts, and a pink embroidered bellyband were scattered on the floor.
The karmic fire that had accumulated for a hundred years erupted completely, causing Lu Mingyuan to feel overwhelmed.

I was exhausted and lay on the bed, losing all my senses. It was not until I felt something wet and soft rubbing against my face that I opened my eyes from my daze.

Sui Yuqing's beautiful face, as if carved from ice crystal, was very close to him, and her lips were already touching his face.

It's the mouth.
Looking at the other person's trembling eyelashes and rosy cheeks, and examining this passionate face, Lu Mingyuan simply couldn't believe it.

He really had successfully practiced dual cultivation with this famous fairy!
But Sui Yuqing looked like she didn't look like a cool and elegant fairy at all.

In Lu Mingyuan's mind, he couldn't help but recall the image of Sui Yuqing in the past. She was always dignified and solemn, full of fairy-like air. To Yun Qinghe, she always maintained the attitude of a teaching senior sister.

To Yun Qinghe, Sui Yuqing is her senior sister and elder.

To me, she is also half an elder.

Even though their cultivation levels have gradually become equal, Lu Mingyuan would often address him as his senior, more out of respect.

Lu Mingyuan lay blankly on the bed, looking at the exquisitely carved ceiling. Even though he had a piece of jade in his arms, he was still in deep thought for the first time and couldn't let it go.

However, after a while.

Sui Yuqing stretched out her snow-white arms from under the quilt and hugged Lu Mingyuan's neck, murmuring uncomfortably:
"So hot."

hot?
Lu Mingyuan's heart moved and his brows furrowed.

Guessing what was going on, he placed his hand on Sui Yuqing's forehead and found it was extremely hot.

Like having a fever.

"what happened?"

Lu Mingyuan was puzzled and didn't know why he was still feeling hot.

Judging from the current situation, most of the karmic fire should have been extinguished by him.

"Could it be that there are still remnants of the karmic fire?"

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

After thinking for a while, the person next to me kissed me, as if he had found a big piece of ice that could quickly cool me down.

Lu Mingyuan would naturally not refuse the request of such a beautiful woman.

We can only continue to look for ways to extinguish the fire of karma.

Another two hours later.

Lu Mingyuan sat up and found that it was already bright outside the window.

He touched Sui Yuqing's forehead again and found that the karma fire in the other's body had finally subsided and the temperature was not as high as before.

At this moment, Lu Mingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He could finally get up.

At the same time, Sui Yuqing's self-consciousness gradually returned, and the lust in his eyes disappeared. After opening his eyes, he revealed a pair of pure and beautiful eyes that were clear and transparent.

Just by seeing this look, Lu Mingyuan was sure that she was not a demon.

She sat up, hugging the quilt, her black hair disheveled. She looked around at the messy bed and the clothes scattered on the floor. She pinched the quilt, still in a daze.

Finally, she looked at Lu Mingyuan.

Then, he seemed to understand something.

Her face was slightly red and her eyes were filled with a hint of shyness.

"You were haunted by inner demons last night. I helped you suppress the flames of karma. Please check on your physical condition."

Lu Mingyuan stood up tiredly, leaned over to pick up his clothes, and put them on himself.

Sui Yuqing looked at him with a look of relief instead of blame, mixed with a bit of gratitude and emotion:
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have disappeared by now."

She understood what would happen if her inner demons devoured her true self.

Hearing her sigh, Lu Mingyuan smiled gently: "Don't be so anxious to sigh, check your physical condition first."

"it is good."

Sui Yuqing examined the body and nodded:
"The karmic fire has been eliminated a lot, it can be said that it has been reduced by 80%."

"but."

"but what?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"The fire of karma will continue to be generated. If I cannot truly overcome my inner demons, there is no telling when the fire of karma will erupt again. I am afraid there will be more in the future."

When he finished the second half of the sentence, Sui Yuqing's cheeks turned red, and she seemed to find it difficult to speak.

After hearing these words, Lu Mingyuan finally understood.

What this inner demon said may make sense.

The so-called karmic fire and inner demons are Sui Yuqing's fate, and are the side effects of her practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions and consolidating her heart of Tao.

Although he could help her suppress the karmic fire in a short period of time, it was not a long-term solution after all.

This is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. If Sui Yuqing cannot overcome his inner demons, the karmic fire will continue to exist.

The wildfire will never be extinguished, it will spring up again with the spring breeze.

Just as the inner demon said, Sui Yuqing has not yet faced her true self, so she can temporarily gain control of her body.

Although Lu Mingyuan didn't think it was a burden, he still consoled her: "Let's take it one step at a time. In this world, how many people are not trapped by their inner demons? They will be affected to some extent. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the fairy."

These extremely heartwarming words touched Sui Yuqing's heart.

She seemed to remember something and quickly said to Lu Mingyuan:
"Oh, right, when I was deprived of consciousness, I inexplicably appeared near the dungeon. I guess this inner demon may be related to the Queen of the Underworld. Your Majesty, do you want to investigate the situation of the witch?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan said in a deep voice: "There is such a thing?"

"It seems that the rapid growth of your inner demon is probably related to the Queen of the Underworld."

He looked at Sui Yuqing and asked, "Do you remember when you started to lose consciousness?"

"In other words, when did the inner demon invade your body?"

Sui Yuqing recalled it carefully and said, "Since the time in Jinwu Country, when His Majesty helped me suppress the karmic fire, there were already signs. I thought it was because of my restless mind. Later, when I returned to the Imperial Capital, I realized that it was the inner demon that took over my body. By then, it was too late."

Lu Mingyuan nodded gently and said, "Fairy, I still have things to do. If you are tired, you might as well rest for a while. I will go to the dungeon first."

"it is good."

Sui Yuqing nodded and agreed.

Lu Mingyuan left the palace and headed towards the dungeon where the Great Nether Queen was imprisoned.

Along the way, he met many palace guards, including the Great Yan priest, and they all saluted him.

"See Your Majesty!"

Lu Mingyuan simply nodded and passed by.

The most urgent task is to find out what Wu Gongyu is up to.

It was bizarre that she was locked up in the dungeon so easily in the first place.

There is even a possibility that she did it on purpose.

What does she want to do with Sui Yuqing's inner demon?
Once again came to the damp and cold dungeon.

A ball of flame condensed from vital energy appeared in Lu Mingyuan's palm, which was used for lighting.

He stood in front of the cold iron door deep in the dungeon and found that there was still someone inside.

Wu Gongyu did not escape.

She was seen sitting quietly in the middle, with chains still tied up on every part of her body, unable to move at all.

It's just that her condition is not good.

With his head down, he was in a coma.

The whole person seems to be sleeping.

Wait, something is wrong!
When Lu Mingyuan came here before, Wu Gongyu never slept.

With her level of cultivation, even if she was suppressed by so many specially made Dragon Locking Locks, she should have reached the state of fasting and spiritual enrichment, to the point of not needing sleep for months. This is something that is necessary for physical and spiritual cultivation to reach this level.

"Someone! Unlock the door!"

Lu Mingyuan gave an order and called the person in charge of the dungeon.

Seeing that the emperor's tone and expression were not good, the old warden broke out in sweat.

It seems like I have done something wrong.

But after careful recollection, he believed that nothing had gone wrong in the dungeon during these days, and no prisoners had escaped.

But His Majesty is so serious, something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty, this witch might be dangerous."

"Are you questioning my ability?"

Lu Mingyuan looked at the warden with a cold gaze, his aura fully open and overbearing. A pressure from the late Heavenly Man Realm quickly swept over him.

When he was at the eleventh realm, he could barely tie with the demon girl. Now that he has reached the twelfth realm, what is there to be afraid of?

Even the prison warden, who had a high level of cultivation, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and quickly ordered the jailer beside him: "Open the lock quickly!"

"Yes!"

The jailer opened the cell door.

Lu Mingyuan took a step forward and used his Yuan consciousness to carefully check the breath of the person in front of him.

It was discovered that the person was indeed still alive.

The breath is very stable.

Just fainted.

But why is he unconscious?

Lu Mingyuan had a bad feeling in his heart.

He circulated all his energy and injected it into the body of the woman in front of him, intending to forcibly wake her up.

"Wow!"

The surging red energy was as bright as the sun, illuminating the entire dungeon and attracting the attention of many prisoners.

It seems that a world-class master has come to the dungeon.

Such strong men rarely appear in the dungeon.

They all lowered their heads, fearing that they would be discovered by this person.

There was only one white-haired old man, wearing a linen prison uniform, with his hands and feet shackled, sitting against the cold wall, humming with a fake smile:
"In my opinion, she should be affected by the sequelae of the spiritual turmoil. I'm afraid this evil woman has already fled far away."

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan glanced at the prison where the man behind him was imprisoned.

It is confirmed that this person is also a felon.

"It's you."

Lu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and recognized the man.

That's right.

This old man is already an old acquaintance.

He was the imperial tutor of the previous dynasty who had followed Emperor Yong'an for thirty years.

The former Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the famous Yuan Xuangang.

Initially, after Lu Mingyuan obtained the throne, all of his former ministers and old guard were imprisoned, awaiting execution in the autumn of the following year.

Even Yuan Xuangang is no exception.

This prime minister, who once had a glorious career, has fallen into such a situation.

Yuan Xuangang now seemed to be in a state of extreme sorrow and joy. He laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, compared to your father, you are still too naive. You were played around by a mere witch!"

"What did I say? You can't resist the Wild World and the Holy Underworld. Da Yan will be destroyed in your hands!"

Unfortunately, Lu Mingyuan didn't seem to be angered, but said calmly: "Are you not afraid of death?"

Yuan Xuangang sneered and said, "Are you afraid of death? If you were afraid of death, I would not have helped Your Majesty to support Dayan."

The "Your Majesty" he was referring to was obviously Emperor Yong'an.

Yuan Xuangang believed that he was already a dying man, so he had already faced death calmly.

Seeing through his thoughts, Lu Mingyuan smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you really have a good constitution. How about staying in this prison forever?"

When Yuan Xuangang heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"what do you mean?"

Lu Mingyuan said calmly: "Pass on my decree to pardon Yuan Xuangang's death sentence and change it to eternal imprisonment."

He sneered at Yuan Xuangang and said, "Since you look down on Dayan and me so much, I will prove it to you step by step."

The effort of the two of them in talking.

The woman who was tied up with chains on one side has slowly woken up.

“Why am I here?”

Just the first sentence made Lu Mingyuan's expression change slightly.

He looked at the face in front of him and saw an inexplicably familiar look in his eyes, and an impulse surged in his heart.

"Muxue, is that you?"

Qi Muxue, who had just regained consciousness, looked at the door and saw a man standing there. She asked in surprise, "Is it your Majesty?"

Soon she noticed that her voice had changed.

She quickly looked at her body and found that she was tied up with chains.

However, Qi Muxue did not show any fear, but instead showed a look of joy.

“My body is back!”

Her words were filled with joy.

Lu Mingyuan also hugged her into his arms and said softly:
"It's okay. It's okay. I'm back."

"Um"

Qi Muxue cried with joy and hugged Lu Mingyuan tightly, her voice trembling.

She had been so frightened before, and there was no way she could change it back.

Now, this problem no longer exists.

But his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

Since Qi Muxue's soul has returned to her original body, it means that Wu Gongyu has most likely left Dijing now.

As far as he knows.

There are many tunnels under the palace. If the evil woman took these tunnels, it would be too late now.

After all, Wu Gongyu had escaped from prison once three years ago.

At this moment, outside the imperial capital.

The entrance to a deep tunnel.

A tall woman with willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes walked out, holding a black tortoise shell in her hand, gazing at the bright sun in the distance. A hint of comfort and peace seemed to flash in her eyes.

"Can you agree to my request now?"

Sui Yuqing stood opposite her, eyes full of hope.

Wu Gongyu looked down at the woman, looking down at her with a slightly disdainful look in her eyes, and said, "Of course you can, but you need to solve the problem of your physical body by yourself."

"The body that can hold your soul is probably only a container made from the world's most advanced immortal medicine and divine treasure."

"But it's not my concern, it's something you should think about."

"I have done my best to help you get here."

Wu Gongyu paused and said, "It is not easy for you to condense your own soul from a mere thought."

"Although I borrowed the power of the tortoise shell, you still need to have strong willpower. Otherwise, based on last night alone, you would have disappeared into the body."

This inner demon was more stubborn than she had imagined.

Even though it was suppressed by Lu Mingyuan many times, it still remained in Sui Yuqing's body and did not truly disappear.

Even with the help of the tortoise shell, he broke free from the shackles of karma fire and became a soul.

In this way, you will no longer be afraid of the loss of your luck.

If it were before, the inner demon would be worn away by Long Yun and then disappear completely.

But now, once it has become a soul, it is no longer afraid of this method and has completely become a part of the soul.

This is also the reason why Lu Mingyuan did not kill them all.

“The body.”

Sui Yuqing's eyes showed thought.

At present, most of the karmic fire has been cleansed. She can no longer dominate the physical body by this means, and can only occupy the physical body for two hours a day.

Wu Gongyu continued, "Let me give you another hint. According to Lu Mingyuan, the Ascension Platform will be born soon. By then, you may have the opportunity to become a real individual. The Ascension Platform is a supreme divine object that condenses the physical body. No other magic weapon can compare with it."

"Having two souls in one body is not a good thing. Sooner or later, you will be assimilated. Find a body as soon as possible."

"Finally say goodbye, Yuqing."

This inner demon even came up with a name for himself.

His name is Yuqing.

Yu Qing nodded and said gratefully: "Finally, I still have to thank Lord Tianmo."

"But please forgive me for being so nosy. You went to such great lengths to come to Dayan. Are you here just to gather some information about Dayan and then leave?"

"Of course not."

"Originally I was looking for a sacred object, and later I wanted to see if he was the old friend."

Wu Gongyu looked nostalgic and said, "It's a pity that he looks very similar, but in the end he is not him."
