Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 228 Magic Wheel
Feng Xian'er, who was standing by, heard what Huang Sixi said and suddenly froze where she was, no longer shouting.

Ever since Huang Sixi entered the lobby, she has been pointing out that Huang Sixi is the murderer. Seeing that she was about to be tortured into confessing and being wrongly accused, the person who spoke up for her was actually Huang Sixi.

She knew that if she continued to talk nonsense, she would be courting death.

Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at her, then turned back to Huang Sixi and said, "Now all the evidence points to you, Divine Doctor Huang, as the murderer. If we don't arrest her, she will be a witness and you, Divine Doctor Huang, will be the suspect. According to the rules, the Dali Temple can only arrest you!"

"No... No! I am not a witness, I didn't see anything!" Feng Xian'er trembled: "Master, I recognized the wrong person. The murderer in the morning was definitely not Doctor Huang!"

Yuchi Zhenjin ignored her.

She changed her confession to protect herself.

If Yuchi Zhenjin let her go, as soon as she left the gate of Yanzi Tower, she would be abducted by the old ministers who attacked Wu Zetian and forced to continue to identify Huang Sixi.

A nobody like her has no ability for autonomy at all.

In order to prevent her from being used by outsiders and from identifying Huang Sixi in the future, Yuchi Zhenjin wanted to put her in death row, label her as the murderer, and then quickly close the case so that there would be no adverse effects from this matter.

As for the dozen or so young girls who were still breathing, Yuchi Zhenjin did not plan to let Huang Sixi rescue them, because the more they rescued, the more confessions they would give, and they might collectively testify against Huang Sixi.

Yuchi Zhenjin explained the interests to Huang Sixi, and then sighed: "If there are other choices, I don't want to make things difficult for a weak woman like her, but we are all working for the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother is implicated because of her, we will all be in trouble!"

Huang Sixi thought that with Wu Zetian's sophisticated tactics, not to mention one bloody incident, even ten similar bloody incidents would not be able to bring her down.

Huang Sixi said, "Master Yuchi, you can control Feng Xian'er first, and I will go to catch the real murderer! When the time comes, I will hand the real murderer over to you, and there will be no need to let Feng Xian'er take the blame!"

Yuchi Zhenjin shook his head and asked, "If the real murderer has been silenced, where are you going to catch him? You may not even find a clue about the real murderer. If time goes on, rumors will spread in the capital city. Once it reaches your majesty's ears, you will hold a three-court trial and force me to hand over the evidence! Doctor Huang, you won't even have a chance to defend yourself at that time!"

Huang Sixi admitted his judgment that the real murderer might not be alive, but even if Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian personally presided over the double saint trial, Huang Sixi could still ensure his own safety.

Yuchi Zhenjin was following orders from Wu Zetian, so Huang Sixi did not talk to him much. He just said, "I will go to see the old lady for a follow-up visit right away. Then I will ask the old lady to come forward and invite the Queen Mother. I will report to her in person and ask her to allow me to arrest the real culprit!"

"If you can get the Queen Mother to give the order herself, then I will do my best!" Yuchi Zhenjin revealed: "The Queen Mother is at the old lady's house, you can see her when you go there!"

After hearing this, Huang Sixi said no more. He squatted down and began to remove the poison and heal the wounds of more than ten young girls.

Yuchi Zhenjin frowned and advised: "Dr. Huang, even if you save them, they may not be grateful to you."

Huang Sixi said calmly, "I don't need their gratitude. If someone pretends to be me and commits a crime, anyone would be deceived! If I have a way to save them but I just stand by and watch, then there is no point in me opening Sixi Medicine Hall. Why did I promise Master Sanzang in the first place?"

Yuchi Zhenjin then spread his hands and said, "Then it's up to you!"

Since all the ten or so girls in the hall had seen Huang Sixi's appearance, in order to prevent them from speaking without thinking like Feng Xian'er due to excessive fright, Huang Sixi changed the treatment method.

Huang Sixi first gave each of them a "Baiyun Bear Bile Pill", and then he used his internal energy to remove the poison for them.

As early as in the Bloody Jianghu, Huang Sixi received two corpses of the detoxification treasure 'Red Eyed Ice Toad' from Hu Guinan. This toad corpse can remove all kinds of poisons.

However, as Huang Sixi's internal strength grew, he could rely on his internal strength to force out the poison even if he was poisoned. Over time, the 'Red-eyed Ice Toad' became useless and was collected by Huang Sixi as a useless item.

When Huang Sixi perfected the Nine Yang Magic Art, his ability to resist poison was further enhanced. He was free from all diseases and poisons.

He is now circulating the Nine Yang True Qi, and his efficiency in removing poison is even faster than using the 'Red Eyed Ice Toad' to apply and absorb.

After a while, he finished treating all the more than ten girls, and stood up and said to Yuchi Zhenjin: "They took my special life-saving pills, and they will be unconscious for at least half a day before they wake up!"

He emphasized again: "Master Yuchi, while I am visiting the Queen Mother, I hope that the Dali Temple will protect the lives of these girls. If anything happens to them, I will be disheartened and may not treat the old lady of Rongguo again in the future!"

Hi?
Yuchi Zhenjin was filled with anger, thinking that this Divine Doctor Huang was really ungrateful, disregarding the old lady's precious health for the sake of a group of lowly musicians!

However, Yuchi Zhenjin thought again: "Dr. Huang is willing to give his heart and soul to a group of lowly people in the music industry, which shows that he is kind-hearted! If we make friends with such a kind-hearted doctor, he will never stand idly by if he gets injured in the future. He will definitely rescue him at all costs!"

Thinking of this, Yuchi Zhenjin immediately made a solemn promise: "Brother Huang, you can go to see the Queen without worry. I, Old Yuchi, will personally stay by their side and guarantee that no one will touch a hair on their head!"

There were many Dali Temple runners in the lobby, and they all felt strange. Yuchi Zhenjin was a serious official and a nobleman. Normally, he would get furious when threatened by anyone.

No one knew what was going on today. Doctor Huang was clearly threatening Yuchi Zhenjin, but instead of getting angry, Yuchi Zhenjin changed his tone and called Huang a brother.

Huang Sixi saw this and stepped forward to drag Yin Ruiji away: "Take your medicine box and come with me to see the old lady for a follow-up visit!"

Yin Ruiji didn't know who the old lady was, but when Huang Sixi handed her the medicine box, she immediately held it in her arms.

Until she followed Huang Sixi out of the lobby of Yanzi Tower, Yuchi Zhenjin never said anything to stop her.

When Feng Xian'er saw Yin Ruiji leaving, she was terrified and just wanted to follow Yin Ruiji, but Huang Sixi did not let her go, and she did not dare to act on her own, so she stayed in the lobby in fear and trepidation.

After waiting for a while, she still didn't see Yuchi Zhenjin and the Dali Temple runners making things difficult for her, so she gradually felt at ease and bravely looked at the more than 20 corpses in the hall.

Half of the bodies had been revived by Huang Sixi, and the other half were completely dead. However, these people were all hags from Yanzi Tower who had forced many women of good families into prostitution. Feng Xian'er did not feel sad at all.

At this moment, she was just hoping that Yin Ruiji would come back soon and reunite with her sisters.

But she didn't know that from the moment Yin Ruiji left Yanzi Tower, she and she were already people from two different worlds.

From now on, she will continue to be a court prostitute, but Yin Ruiji will be freed from the official status. As Huang Sixi rises to prominence, she will completely leave the class of untouchables and become a member of the powerful and wealthy in the Tang Dynasty.

Doctrine Square.

Old Madam Rongguo had been waiting for Huang Sixi for a long time.

She was overjoyed to see Huang Sixi coming. She saw Huang Sixi through the open door and shouted, "The miracle doctor is here. Please come in and take my pulse! I took the miracle doctor's 'Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills' last night and slept very soundly. I feel my strength is growing. With the miracle doctor's help, I think it's possible for me to live to be a hundred years old!"

She is eighty-five years old this year and is no longer interested in anything in the world except that she is afraid of death. She only hopes to live a few more years, and Huang Sixi is the only person who can fulfill her wish.

Huang Sixi led Yin Ruiji directly into the bedroom.

Wu Zetian, who was serving the old lady of Rongguo at the bedside, saw Yin Ruiji coming without being called, and frowned and asked, "Dr. Huang, who is this little girl?"

Huang Sixi said, "She is my assistant. It is inconvenient for me to examine the old lady. She is a woman, so it doesn't matter how she touches the old lady. What does the Queen think?"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Yes, you have considered it very carefully."

Yin Ruiji learned that the noble lady in palace dress in front of her was the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, and her heart couldn't help but pounding.

But when Yin Ruiji saw that Huang Sixi was talking to the Queen Mother in a nonchalant manner and with a very noble demeanor, she suppressed her inner nervousness and behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely, so as not to embarrass Huang Sixi.

Following Huang Sixi's instructions, she first lit a stick of incense in front of the bed of Mrs. Rongguo.

Wu Zetian noticed that the incense was different and asked Huang Sixi what it meant.
Huang Sixi said that this was a calming incense that could help the old lady's sleep quality.

Wu Zetian had no suspicion and allowed Yin Ruiji to light incense.

But Wu Zetian didn't know that the incense had been tampered with by Huang Sixi.

The smoke of cigarettes just filled the bedroom.

Including Wu Zetian, the old lady of Rongguo, Yin Ruiji and dozens of palace maids, eunuchs and imperial doctors, all were bewitched by the cigarettes and fell into a deep hypnotic state.

This is actually the 'Soul-Transferring Incense' specially made by Huang Sixi through the 'Soul-Transferring Technique' of the 'Nine Yin Scriptures'!
Huang Sixi lit soul-transferring incense in the bedroom, mainly targeting Wu Zetian.

He wanted to personally torture Wu Zetian to find out whether she knew about the Swallow Tower massacre.

Although, Dali Temple Minister Yuchi Zhenjin and Taichang Temple Minister Wei both claimed that the Swallow Tower Massacre was a conspiracy attack against Wu Zetian by the old ministers of the court.

But Huang Sixi knew Wu Zetian very well. She was the only female emperor in the history of Central Plains. She was cruel and ruthless, and would do anything to achieve her goals. The Swallow Tower massacre might have been directed and acted by Wu Zetian herself.

The reason why Huang Sixi lit the soul-transferring incense was to torture the truth out of Wu Zetian.

If the Swallow Tower massacre was really ordered by Wu Zetian, then Huang Sixi would never let her continue to sit on the throne of the empress, let alone become the empress.

Wait until the incense stick burns out.

Huang Sixi also learned the whole cause and effect of the incident from Wu Zetian.

He thought, "This matter has nothing to do with Wu Zetian. It turned out that it was done by the prime minister Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi hated Wu Zetian's monopoly of power and reported to Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, 'The queen is tyrannical and the people are disappointed. She should be deposed to satisfy the people's will!' In order to find an excuse to depose the queen, Shangguan Yi sent people to Yanzi Tower to commit murder. Wu Zetian had long wanted to strike Shangguan Yi, so she tried her best to protect Sixi Pharmacy and instructed Yuchi Zhenjin to label Feng Xian'er as the murderer!"

Historically, in 664 AD, the first year of the Linde reign of the Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Shangguan Yi planned to depose the empress, but failed. Instead, he was attacked by Wu Zetian, who falsely accused Shangguan Yi of colluding with the deposed Crown Prince Li Zhong to plot a rebellion.

In the end, Shangguan Yi was executed after his property was confiscated, his son Shangguan Tingzhi was also killed by Wu Zetian, and his granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er was sent to the music school as a slave and became a pariah.

Huang Sixi thought again that this year was the first year of Linde, and at this time Wu Zetian and Shangguan Yi were fighting fiercely, and the Swallow Tower bloody incident was the product of their fierce fight.

Since Wu Zetian was not the instigator of the Swallow Tower massacre.

Huang Sixi no longer troubled Wu Zetian.

After the soul-transferring incense burned out, Wu Zetian returned to normal.

She knew nothing about the torture that had just taken place, and only felt dizzy for a moment.

She said to Huang Sixi, "Dr. Huang, I absolutely trust Dr. Huang in the murder case at Yanzi Tower. No matter how the outsiders slander him, I will do my best to protect Dr. Huang. Just focus on treating the old lady. I will protect you!"

Huang Sixi said, "Thank you for your trust, Queen Heaven. But someone pretended to be me and committed a crime. If I don't find the real murderer, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace in the future. Please allow me to catch the real murderer and give justice to all the victims of Yanzi Tower!"

Wu Zetian immediately asked him: "How do you plan to catch the real murderer?"

Huang Sixi replied: "There is only one perfect disguise technique in the world, and that is the soul-transferring technique of the Demon Sealing Clan. As long as I find the Demon Sealing Clan's lair, I will definitely be able to find the real culprit!"

"The Demon Sealing Clan?"

Wu Zetian knew that this was a tribe of Indians who were good at illusions and who had assisted the Tang Dynasty in its fight for the throne. However, the Demon Sealing Tribe's illusions were too strong and the Tang Dynasty found it difficult to control them, so they launched a war against the Demon Sealing Tribe.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Demon Sealing Clan was nearly uprooted. Even though some members of the clan survived, they were all subjected to the Qiong punishment, which was a tattoo on the face of the criminal. Anyone with words on their face would be regarded as a lowly person, thus ensuring that the Demon Sealing Clan would be forever exterminated in the Tang Dynasty.

But the Demon Sealing Clan refused to accept their fate. In order to escape the humble fate that had plagued their people for generations, they began to take risks and made it their mission to overthrow the Tang royal family.

When Wu Zetian heard Huang Sixi mention the Demon Sealing Clan, she thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I will give you three days. If you can arrest the real murderer, I will clear your name. But if you can't find the real murderer, you must listen to my instructions!"

The two men reached an agreement.

When Huang Sixi finished his consultation, he was about to take Yin Ruiji away, but he heard Wu Zetian say, "Dr. Huang, this girl is your assistant. You can let her stay with the old lady to serve her. When the old lady recovers, I will give her another reward!"

Huang Sixi thought about it. He was about to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Sealing Clan and would not be able to take care of Yin Ruiji. So if he let Yin Ruiji serve the old lady of Rongguo, her safety would definitely be guaranteed. So he simply agreed.

After leaving the Jiaoyifang, Huang Sixi immediately sneaked into Shangguan Yi's mansion, performed the "Soul Transfer Technique", found Shangguan Yi and his subordinates to interrogate them about the origin of the real murderer of Yanzilou, and then got a location.

This location is in a valley outside the city of Gods, which is also the lair of the Demon Sealing Clan.

Huang Sixi went to the valley alone.

Dozens of black-clad believers with tattoos on their faces were gathered around a middle-aged man holding a magic wheel.

When Huang Sixi saw the magic wheel, he knew that the middle-aged man must be the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan. He said confidently:
"The Empress of the Tang Dynasty is fighting for power and is at odds with the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Then we should instigate them to attack each other. When they kill each other for the imperial power and the blood flows like a river, we will take advantage of the chaos to start a rebellion!"

Huang Sixi thought: "Shangguan Yi did not hesitate to hire these demon-sealing aliens in order to bring down Wu Zetian. These demon-sealing aliens were willing to be used by Shangguan Yi in order to fish in troubled waters in order to bring down the Tang Dynasty. They are originally aliens, but they insist on participating in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains without knowing their own limitations. If they continue to stay in the Central Plains, they will only cause endless troubles and fan the flames everywhere!"

When Huang Sixi thought of this, he reached to his waist, took out several glass poison beads, and threw them between the dozens of believers.

The Demon Sealing Clan leader was a man of profound power. Following the direction of the Glazed Poison Bead, he immediately spotted Huang Sixi's hiding place.

He swung the magic wheel in his hand violently and shot it towards Huang Sixi, humming, "You are such a bold lunatic, how dare you break into my clan's forbidden land? Let me teach you a lesson about the power of the magic wheel. Once this magic wheel is put on your head, you will never be able to get rid of it!"

He was determined to defeat the magic wheel with one strike.

Unexpectedly, when the magic wheel flew in the air and approached Huang Sixi about a foot away, it seemed to hit an invisible air wall, and bounced back with a "bang!"

Huang Sixi thought: "If you want the magic wheel to cover my head, you have to break my protective Qi wall first!"

Huang Sixi suddenly waved his hand and performed a move called 'Dragon Fighting in the Wild', striking the magic wheel in the air and knocking it to the ground. Then he took a few steps forward, waved his sleeves, and took the magic wheel into his pocket.
