After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 751 (XIV)
Aymulan and Shan Cheng also entered the secret passage.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Shan Cheng, holding a torch, led the way for Aymulan.

As Aymulan walked, she asked, "How long have you been setting up this scheme?"

Shan Cheng said, "I've never really been involved in my father's affairs."

Aymulan interrupted him: "Was your approach to me also part of this?"

Shan Cheng sighed, "Your Highness, you can rest assured. I am loyal to you only because I admire your abilities and am willing to help you dominate the world."

Aymulan pointed out incisively, "You and your master are both trying to prove that you are a more powerful shaman than Zhongli Yuan, aren't you?"

Shan Cheng remained silent.

Aymulan: "Whatever, I only want what I want. As for your purpose, it doesn't matter. However, there is one thing I don't understand."

Shan Cheng hurriedly said, "Please speak, Your Highness."

Aymulan: "Back then, the king of the Western Regions, as predicted by Zhongli Yuan, was it Chenlong or Shang Jue?"

Shan Cheng fell silent again.

Aymulan took in his expression: "Neither?"

A complex emotion flashed in Shan Cheng's eyes: "Mm."

Aymulan gasped weakly, "It's her, isn't it?"

Shan Cheng hesitated, then said, "Your Highness..."

Aymuran laughed self-deprecatingly: "I thought my opponent was Zhongli Yuan, but I never expected her to be such a greenhorn!"

Shan Cheng understood that Aymulan was unable to accept this fact immediately.

Not to mention the princess, even he was shocked the moment he learned the truth from the Medicine King.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter anymore. She is doomed to die today."

Aymulan: "I want to kill her with my own hands."

Shan Cheng: "Okay."
-
The high priest had been planning this day for a long time, and the secret passage was dug directly into the back garden where the Holy Maiden Temple practiced her skills.

"right here?"

Aymulan asked.

There's nothing special about this place; it's just a simple little courtyard. "Where's the door?"

"Behind you."

The Medicine King said.

Aymulan turned around, and behind her was clearly a dilapidated woodshed.

With a single arm tremor, the Medicine King unleashed a powerful gust of wind, followed by a deafening roar as the woodshed collapsed, revealing a hidden world within.

Upon entering the woodshed, Aymulan discovered a secret room.

In front of the secret chamber, two stone coffins were prominently displayed, with Meng Qianqian lying on the left and Tan'er lying on the right.

Below the sarcophagus are two winding, peculiar totems that extend to the east wall.

"Drain it with blood."

Shan Cheng explained.

"I come."

Aymuran said.

Shan Cheng gave the high priest a pleading look.

The high priest did not object.

Aymulan walked to Meng Qianqian's stone coffin, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed it fiercely into Meng Qianqian's heart.

Phew——

The sharp blade pierced her body, and blood splattered, covering Aymulan's face.

At that moment, something incredible happened.

Aymulan suddenly covered her face, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

Shan Cheng's expression changed: "Your Highness!"

Aymulan looked at the black blood on her fingertips, then touched her burned face, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Quickly open!"

The Medicine King roared. The High Priest leaped up, grabbing Shan Cheng with one hand and Ayimulan with the other, and quickly retreated ten steps away.

Almost simultaneously, countless poisoned darts suddenly shot out from the two stone coffins, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, densely packed and flying towards the group from all directions.

Even the Medicine King was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events and nearly fell victim to it.

Once the mechanisms inside the coffin dissipated, he flicked his sleeve and removed the human skin masks from Meng Qianqian and Tan'er's faces.

But where are the twin flowers?
They are disciples of two temples at all!
"Those two... managed to escape unscathed!"

The Medicine King frowned.

Looking at Aymulan, whose face was disfigured by poisonous blood, Shan Cheng gritted his teeth and questioned, "Medicine King, what exactly happened? How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly be gone? Didn't you say that no one could cure your medicine?"

The Medicine King said irritably, "Shouldn't you be asking your father? The person disappeared while he was in his possession!"

"Fine, fine, keep arguing."

Accompanied by a leisurely voice, Yun Xiyao strolled out.

The high priest's old eyes darkened.

Yun Xiyao smiled nonchalantly, "You surnamed Shan, do you really think this young master has been defeated by you?"

The high priest looked over and saw that behind Yun Xiyao stood the group of people who should have been drugged, not one of them missing.

Even Chenlong, whose heart he had pierced, stood there unharmed.

Shan Cheng said coldly, "Your medicine really is useless."

The Medicine King said, "The person your father killed is indeed still alive!"

At that moment, the falcon flapped its wings and flew into the secret chamber.

It had a tuft of gyrfalcon feathers in its beak.

Aymulan immediately recognized that the feather belonged to her own gyrfalcon.

The falcon tossed its feathers onto the stone table and slammed down with a powerful talon!
Aymulan's pupils contracted, and her heart pounded.

Meng Qianqian raised her arm.

The falcon flew over in perfect unison.

She patted its head and fed it a piece of jerky: "Grandma really knows how to take care of you, you've gained so much weight."

The falcon's disappearance these days wasn't because it was captured, but because it flew to Wushan.

The task that the Miao King sent Jifeng to Wushan was to truthfully inform the goddess of everyone's plans.

The goddess guessed that the Medicine King would intervene, so she brewed a poison-avoiding pill and had the falcon bring it over.

They had taken the antidote pill as early as when they met up with Ji Li.

Shan Cheng frowned: "Impossible... How could you have foreseen all of this?"

Ji Li chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm a pushover?"

Lu Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "Do we need to calculate it? So many people have suddenly arrived on the island; it's obvious that it was your Liuli Island that spread the news."

Liuli Island is isolated from the world. If someone hadn't deliberately let them through, it would have been impossible for so many people to successfully land on the island.

The duel with the Dog in Gufeng Town further solidified Lu Yuan's guess.

Ancient Phoenix Town is a place where one has a slim chance of survival; very few people can actually make it through.

Yun Xiyao said to the High Priest, "Stop now. I have already had the whole island informed of your spreading false information. Putting aside the religious rules you have violated, the people on the island will never let you go. You have no chance of winning."

The old and cunning Medicine King said, "This is a matter between you two, I won't get involved. High Priest, come and cooperate with me after you've dealt with your current troubles."

The high priest said expressionlessly, "No one is leaving today!"

The Medicine King frowned strangely: "What do you want to do?"

The high priest coldly snorted: "When I secretly built this passage, I had already made the worst-case scenario plan. Today, I will open the Gate of Heaven and Earth no matter what."

Yun Xiyao frowned: "Shan Yang, don't be so stubborn!"

The high priest suddenly knelt on one knee and slammed his palm onto the ground.

A sudden tremor shook the earth, and the stone door to the secret chamber slammed shut.

The high priest roared like a madman, "Today, unless the Gate of Heaven and Earth opens, not one of us will leave!"

The Medicine King exploded: "You surnamed Shan, are you insane! Are you trying to drag everyone down with you?"

The high priest said, "Since the Holy Maiden was able to escape from here back then, it proves that this is not a dead end!"
