Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Tiger Soul Blade, that's right, that's the Tiger Soul Blade.

The guard stared intently at the Tiger Soul Blade, his body trembling involuntarily. The Chi You Demon Blade—such a treasure should not be in the hands of someone who doesn't understand it. This blade should be mine; it should belong to me!
"Hey, look away! He's about to notice you!"

Just as the man's eyes were glued to the Tiger Soul Blade and he couldn't pull it out, a voice came and interrupted his thoughts.

The man immediately realized what was happening, lowered his head, gripped the knife in his hand, moved a few steps to the side, and blended into the patrol team to inspect the prison.

At this moment, Li Siqi seemed to react as well. He turned his head to look at the place where the guards had been, only to find that there was no one there, only the patrol team that had just walked by.

"Why do I feel like someone was spying on me just now?"

Li Siqi muttered to himself, but after a moment, he stopped thinking about it. What could they do if they were spying on him? The sword in his hand was the treasure of the Immortal Clan, and it was already conspicuous enough in his hands, so it was normal for others to spy on him.

Just like you can't expect people not to look at you when you're holding a stack of banknotes, after all, anyone would inevitably take a look at you in such a scene.

Li Siqi shook his head, not taking the matter seriously. In his opinion, with his fourth level of the Fusion God realm and an incredibly powerful divine weapon, very few in the world could defeat him.

Therefore, he didn't care about being spied on at all. Anyway, he couldn't beat him, so being spied on was pointless.

Thinking this, Li Siqi held the Tiger Soul Blade to his chest and began patrolling the prison.

As the patrol team walked past, Zhang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, a voice in his mind said, "You were too careless. If you had looked a little longer, you would have given yourself away."

Zhang Shicheng lowered his head and said, "That knife should be mine!"

"But he's in someone else's hands now, and someone far stronger than you. You shouldn't be eyeing him so greedily. If he finds out, you might lose your life here today," the golden toad warned again.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng said, "Yes, I admit I lost my composure a bit. I will be more careful next time. However, the Tiger Soul Blade must be mine, and that blade should be mine."

Jin Chan said, "Calm down first. I know how much you crave that knife, but the main reason is that you can't beat Li Siqi. If you can't beat him, that knife can't be yours. Do you understand? Now you need to think of a way to kill Li Siqi."

"I know, of course I know I have to kill him, but he's already at the fourth level of the Fusion God realm, I can't kill him! I can't beat him!"

Zhang Shicheng spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chan chuckled and said, "If you can't beat him, someone else will find a way to beat him."

You mean Chen Jiu Si?

Jin Chan said, "That's right. Right now, the only one who can deal with Li Siqi is Chen Jiu Si. Although he is your enemy, an enemy can become a friend. Besides, I'm not asking you to turn him into a friend, but to turn him into a pawn!"

"Isn't using one tiger to devour another a common tactic of you humans?"

Jin Chan patiently coaxed Zhang Shicheng, who thought for a moment and then asked, "So how do you want me to help him?"

Jin Chan said, "Didn't Li Siqi say that Heng Qing's arrival in prison was likely a conspiracy by Chen Jiu Si? In that case, why don't we help him out?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng immediately understood and nodded slightly, saying, "That makes sense. Although my hatred for Chen Jiu Si is irreconcilable, it is nothing compared to the Tiger Soul Blade. With the Tiger Soul Blade, my Nine Li Demon Art will hopefully be perfected."

Thinking of this, Zhang Shicheng made a mental note of it. Just then, he saw the guards escorting Heng Qing ahead. He took the initiative to go up to the soldiers guarding Heng Qing and said, "Hey, go and clear out a separate cell. I'll take a look at Heng Qing."

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately agreed and handed Hengqing over to Zhang Shicheng. They then went to vacate a cell for Hengqing. According to Li Siqi's requirements, the requirements for this cell were quite high. First, it could not be next to the West King's cell. Second, the people who were originally imprisoned in the cell had to be expelled to vacate the cell.

You should know that because of this coup, the cells in the prison have become crowded. In the past, there might not have been many prisoners in the Immortal Realm in a year. After all, the total population of the Immortal Realm is only a little over a thousand. Even if there were dozens of prisoners, that would be quite a lot.

This time, nearly 300 people were imprisoned, which immediately overloaded the cells that could only hold dozens of prisoners before.

Therefore, the prisoners' living conditions were already very crowded, but then a separate room had to be set aside for the Western King, and now a separate room had to be set aside for Heng Qing, making the already limited space even worse.

At this point, the only option is to try and move the space around.

Zhang Shicheng was escorting Hengqing forward slowly, while the soldiers in front were driving the people in the prison cells to make room for Hengqing.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng drove Hengqing to the front of the Western King's prison. The Western King was resting with his eyes closed, not wanting anything outside to taint his eyes. Upon seeing this, Zhang Shicheng immediately pretended to shout, "Hengqing, you better behave yourself. This is not your Immortal Venerable's Palace. If you dare to disobey, you'll be in big trouble!"

Hing-Ching!

The Western King was still calm and composed when she suddenly heard the name Heng Qing. Her eyes widened in shock, and she saw the little immortal she had been longing for standing at the prison gate. She was stunned for a moment.

His face turned ashen. It was all over. The little immortal had been captured. Everything was over.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng whispered to Hengqing, "If you have anything to say, quickly tell the Western King that you are one of us."

Heng Qing frowned as she looked at Zhang Shicheng. She recognized him as a confidant of the Eastern King and someone who often accompanied him. When she was learning her skills, this man often caused her trouble and disliked her. How could such a staunch opponent suddenly be nice to her?

This is a classic case of offering unsolicited favors; there's no smoke without fire.

Could he be someone sent by Li Siqi to deliberately trick him into revealing information?

Thinking of this, Heng Qing fell silent. She glanced at the Western King, who looked at her, then looked behind her and found that she was alone. The Western King narrowed his eyes and said, "Where are the people who went back to the Immortal Realm with you?"

Heng Qing was surprised that the Western King knew about this, and said, "Find a way outside."

"What are you doing!"

Just as Hengqing and the Western King exchanged a single word, Li Siqi arrived carrying the Tiger Soul Blade. Upon seeing this, Zhang Shicheng frowned and immediately turned around, saying sincerely, "Reporting to Your Excellency, we are preparing a separate isolation room for Hengqing."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi looked around at the people, then glanced at Heng Qing and asked, "Did she just speak to the Western King?"

"said."

Zhang Shicheng answered immediately.

"What did they say?" Li Siqi asked. Zhang Shicheng replied, "The Western King asked: 'Where are the people who went back to the Immortal Realm with you?' Hengqing answered: 'They're out there figuring out a way!'"

Zhang Shicheng answered slowly and deliberately. Li Siqi frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Shicheng, saying, "That's all you said?"

"That's all I said, not a single word is different!"

Zhang Shicheng said sincerely. Heng Qing glanced at Zhang Shicheng and thought to herself that this man was really cunning. He actually tricked her into telling him things. Luckily, she was quick-witted, otherwise she would be in a bad situation now.

Li Siqi didn't see anything wrong with what he heard, but frowned and said, "Take her there immediately. From now on, they are not allowed to have any communication. Otherwise, you will be held responsible."

"Yes!"

Zhang Shicheng answered immediately.

Li Siqi looked at Heng Qing and then at Xi Wang, increasingly convinced that the two must be hiding something. There was something fishy about Heng Qing's arrest this time!
Thinking this, Li Siqi turned to a guard beside him and said, "Go, do it this way, do it this way..."

"Yes!"

Soon the guard arrived at two cells near where Heng Qing was being held. Then the guard beckoned to some of the men who were already planning to defect to the Eastern King's side. At this point, the guard spoke to them.

"Didn't you want to pledge allegiance to the Eastern King and atone for your sins? I'll give you a chance!"

Upon hearing the guard's words, those who had pledged allegiance to the Eastern King immediately asked, "What opportunity, sir?"

The guard said, "See? Little Immortal Venerable has been captured, but she has an accomplice outside who hasn't been caught yet."

"Understood, we need to help her find out the location of her accomplices, right?"

The guard said, "Yes, that counts. Whoever can find out the location of her accomplices will have done a great service. His Highness the Prince said to release them directly and not pursue their past crimes."

"Alright, but sir, this is difficult."

Upon hearing this, the guard said, "Of course it's difficult. If it weren't difficult, we wouldn't have sent you. Oh, and there's one more thing. If you can find out the answer, it will be a great achievement for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately asked, "What is it?"

The guard said, "This time, when the Little Immortal Venerable returns, he will definitely try to contact the Western King. The Qi King suspects that there must be some unspeakable secret between them. If you can get this secret out of us, then it will be a great achievement for you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. This was clearly not as difficult as finding out the location of their accomplices.

The guard looked at them and said, "You've been given this opportunity; whether you can seize it is up to you."

After saying this, the guard turned and left. Seeing the guard leave, the people in the cell immediately perked up. At this moment, their actions were also seen by others. Those with backbone saw this and immediately shouted angrily: "You bunch of dogs, don't forget the kindness the Western King has shown you. If you dare to betray the Western King, I will not spare you!"

"Heh, you won't let me off the hook?"

“We’ve accompanied the Western King on his campaigns for so many years and put in a lot of effort, but what have we ended up with? We’re prisoners. I don’t want to be a prisoner. I have a bright future ahead of me. I don’t want to spend my whole life in jail. Is there a problem with that?”

"If you're willing to be buried with the Western King, then be buried with him. Don't drag us into it. We don't want to be buried with the Western King. We want to live!"

The Western King's faction immediately split into two factions, or more accurately, three: one radical faction wanted to die for the Western King, another faction retreated and wanted to join a new master, and a large group of people belonged to the middle faction. These people did not help anyone; they simply remained silent and wanted to see how the wind would blow before making a decision.

Everyone had made up their minds. At this moment, Heng Qing was also sent to the cell. Immediately, a group of people came over to try to get information out of her. Heng Qing just glanced at them, then closed her eyes to rest and didn't say anything. She had done almost everything she could. She had sent out the message she wanted to send out. The rest was not up to her to decide.

Heng Qing remained silent, closing her eyes to rest, as if an old monk had settled down.

Outside, Zhang Shicheng was staring at Heng Qing, and Li Siqi was also watching her. Zhang Shicheng was staring at Heng Qing because he wanted to help her pass on the message, while Li Siqi was staring at her because no matter what schemes Chen Jiu Si had, Heng Qing was definitely the bait. By staring at the bait, he could see how the other party wanted to take the bait.

Therefore, Hengqing was immediately targeted.

At this moment, the Western King frowned and remained silent, lost in thought. Today's events were a little different.

At this moment, Xi Wang immediately recalled the news he had received that day: outsiders had entered the fairyland with Heng Qing, and then Li Siqi came over to mention the Phoenix Seal to him.

Everyone knows the function of the Phoenix Seal. Besides being used as a ritual object for sacrifices, its greatest function is to open the inheritance ground of Lin Yuan Pavilion.

The Land of Inheritance—that guy who entered the Immortal Realm with Hengqing wants to enter the Land of Inheritance.

The Western King instantly realized a possibility: it would be interesting if Heng Qing were captured. He was trying to use Heng Qing to send him a message: he needed the Phoenix Seal. He hadn't been captured yet, and with the Phoenix Seal, he had a chance to turn the tables.

But how could the other party know that seeing Hengqing would make him realize he needed the Phoenix Seal?

and many more?

The King of the West suddenly laughed to himself. No wonder the girl's eyes lit up when she answered him earlier. So that's why.

Xi Wang laughed. It turned out that her unintentional question to Heng Qing had just happened to be exactly what the other party wanted: her own question, "The people who entered the fairyland with you were not caught?"
When he asked this question, Hengqing's eyes visibly brightened, indicating that he had really hit the nail on the head.

This statement reveals that the speaker knows of Chen Jiu Si's existence. Knowing of Chen Jiu Si's existence, and considering Li Si Qi's inquiry about the Phoenix Seal, it can be deduced almost instantly that the other party needs the Phoenix Seal.

They were so anxious that they needed to send Hengqing to inform them.

Although he knew their thoughts, he was unable to transmit the information because his collarbone was pierced.

The Western King was in trouble.

The night passed in this way, and the next day, the young chieftain of the Jiuli tribe, Li Fang, was seen wandering around the Human Emperor City looking unwilling. No one paid any attention to him, as everyone knew that he had been dealt with by the Jiuli tribe's Grand Elder at the city gate the day before, and he looked like a stray dog.

Many people felt sorry for him. He was a promising young chieftain of the Jiuli tribe, but he devoted all his energy to Hengqing, and now he's neither human nor ghost.

Meanwhile, Li Fang swaggered to the outside of the prison. The guards noticed him but, seeing he had no intention of storming the prison, let him go. He then found a corner to sit and stare blankly. Everyone shook their heads at him, but no one saw him secretly pull a small mouse out of his pocket. (End of Chapter)
