Embers of Sword

Chapter 280 Black Shirt

Chapter 280 Black Shirt
Prince Jiangning has arrived!

The bustling crowd on Xining Street once again made way for them. Surprisingly, Jiangning King Xie Zhisui did not bring too many followers with him. He only brought a few servants and sat alone on a pitch-black horse.

A chill emanated from him.

This is the aura of a strong person.

Even without that order, everyone would subconsciously retreat.

The death of the only son in the mansion made the Prince of Jiangning look particularly haggard, but if you look closely, you will find that... Xie Zhisui's face at this moment actually did not have any expression. Sadness, pain, anger, heartbreak and other such emotions were all suppressed. At this moment, the look Xie Zhisui showed in front of everyone was just cold.

Xie Zhisui slowly raised his head, his eyes as deep as the sea.

Xie Xuanyi stood on the roof of Yuanqing Tower, looking at King Jiangning from dozens of feet away.

The moment the two looked at each other.

Xie Xuanyi saw the storm hidden in those dark eyes.

"Thank you, brother. You came just in time."

"The prince of the Xie family and Benzhai Daozi were both killed by Xie Zhen! This man is cunning and vicious, hiding the truth. You and I will work together to clear the name of our beloved disciple and son."

The Supreme Master threw away the broken soul slip and was about to use the magic of the soul to restore the bamboo slip and re-project the previously broken scene.

"Snapped!"

Xie Zhisui, who was sitting on horseback, waved his sleeves and smashed the bamboo slips into pieces.

A ball of light and fire exploded again in the sky above Xining Street.

The Supreme Master was stunned.

The onlookers were also stunned.

"No need for that. I just saw the contents of this bamboo slip."

Xie Zhisui's voice was very soft, but it was loud enough for everyone on Xining Street to hear clearly!
"My son Xie Sheng...did not die at the hands of Xie Zhen."

When he said this, his eyes were always on Xie Zhen.

The two kept looking at each other.

Xie Zhen could see that the storm hidden in Xie Zhisui's eyes had not dissipated.

This storm contains more than just hatred.

And there is Shinobi!
"...?"

Li Chen never expected that Xie Zhisui, who rushed to Xining Street, would have such an attitude.

Prince Jiangning is dead.

As the biological father, shouldn't Xie Zhisui be more angry than himself?

This incomplete video should be completed by Xie Zhen and announced clearly in front of the world!

How can you retreat like this!
"The Xie family has a unique secret method that can sense the abnormality of the soul lamp."

Xie Zhisui laughed softly and said in a hoarse voice: "After the Northern Hunt was over, the Xie Mansion's secret method sensed my son's death... He died at the hands of a demon cultivator."

About Xie Sheng's death.

In fact, the Imperial City Bureau did give an explanation.

Because the sound transmission of the Dragon Pattern Array reached the ears of many people, the memory extracted by the Imperial City Bureau through soul examination was sufficient as evidence to prove that Xie Zhen had a great connection with Xie Sheng's death!
But no one expected that Xie Zhisui would choose to raise it high and then drop it gently——

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Prince Jiangning rushed to Yuanqing Tower and joined Li Chen, Taishangzhai and Xie to make a big fuss about the matter.

But this is actually an attempt to calm things down?

"Little Master Xie, am I right?"

Xie Zhisui paused for a moment and stared at Xie Zhen quietly.

Some things don't need to be said so clearly.

The reason why Xie Xuanyi dared to step into the imperial city so arrogantly was because he knew that Xie Zhisui would not dare to openly tear his face with him. Xie Sheng was not an ordinary person. In addition to his identity as the prince of Jiangning, he also had a very important secret... That was the fate of the Red Dragon! This was a joint plan by the Great Master Chongkan and Xie Zhisui!
Once this matter gets out, the reputation of Taoism will suffer a huge blow.

Xie Zhisui would naturally lose face.

in this way.

This is when things get interesting.

Xie Xuanyi knew in his heart that the Xie family had no secret technique that could bypass the blockade of Ruyi Dao and sense what was happening in the Dayue Secret Realm.
If this technique really existed, Chongkan would have come out of seclusion and cleansed the snow mountain long ago.

The more Xie Zhisui suspected that he had killed Xie Sheng, the more he dared not to confirm the truth in public.

"Your Majesty really has a keen eye."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled and said calmly, "Xie Sheng was killed by Ao Ying, the dragon girl of the demon clan. The reason why he made misleading statements is probably because he was bewitched by the demon girl... This scroll is proof of that."

Say it.

Xie Xuanyi threw out another bamboo slip.

Xie Zhisui's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously wanted to crush it to prevent his soul from escaping, but he controlled himself.

According to what was discussed before, there is no need for Xie Zhen to "fight to the death" at the moment.

really.

The bamboo slips hung above Xining Street, reflecting the "incomplete" image again, which was a part of the scene where Ao Ying devoured Xie Sheng's luck. The image was quite blurry, obscured by wind and sand, and one could only vaguely see the fragment of the demon girl absorbing the red dragon - Xie Xuanyi deliberately concealed the great immortal Chongkan.

On the way back, Xie Xuanyi thought about a question: what to do with the news that "Chongkan" cultivated the red dragon.

Needless to say.

This is a killing weapon.

But to be more precise, it is a double-edged sword.

Once this news is released, it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to the Jiangning Xie family and the Taoist sect.

But you also put yourself in danger.

Chongkan has been leading the Dao sect for the past few years. He seems to be hiding from the world, but he is actually making plans everywhere. With the decisive character of this great immortal, he will definitely not choose to tolerate... The killing game in the North Sea ten years ago will probably be staged again.

After careful consideration, Xie Xuanyi made his current choice.

Keep it hidden and don't show it, hide it and don't reveal it.

As the bamboo slip exploded, exclamations were heard again on Xining Street.

Some people feel sorry.

The talent of Jiangning Prince Xie Sheng is rare in a century. If it weren't for this accident, he would have a great chance of occupying a place in the list of geniuses.

Some people also sighed.

The Golden Age had just arrived, and various holy places had entered the world. Northern Hunting should have been a time for geniuses to emerge, but a genius died at the hands of a demon cultivator. Amid the hustle and bustle, Xie Xuanyi kept his eyes on King Jiangning.

He only cared about King Jiangning's reaction.

There was obvious anger in Xie Zhisui's eyes, but he hid it very well. Even if someone observed carefully... they would only think that it was anger towards the demon cultivator.

Li Chen vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

He tightly grasped the whisk and spoke in a deep voice: "Xie Zhen, who is this 'Ao Ying' you are talking about? Why has Da Chu never heard of this monster?"

"There are independent cultivators in Da Chu, so there are naturally some in the Demon Country as well."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "This demon girl has no sect or school, and she has awakened the blood of the Dragon Clan, so she is extremely powerful. During this northern hunt, she deliberately concealed her identity and sneaked into the secret realm. Ao Ying is brutal and scheming, and he is also a young and powerful person who has reached the perfection of the cave heaven."

Li Chen Leng was unsure and dug a hole, saying: "According to you, it is reasonable for Xie Sheng to die at her hands?"

"Do not……"

Xie Xuanyi shook his head.

Of course he would not fall for such a trick. Standing by the window, he glanced at King Jiangning and said slowly, "With the luck of the Red Dragon, Xie Sheng was plotted against. It should be said that he had no choice but to die in her hands."

Xie Zhisui, who was sitting on the horse, had a gloomy and subtle look on his face.

He heard the hidden meaning in Xie Zhen's words.

Nothing can be done.

What a helpless situation.

This is using Ao Ying's name to make indirect accusations.

"Whether the witch is bewitching people, I don't know."

Li Chen said expressionlessly, "But in my opinion, you are 70% suspected of being the real troublemaker. You watched Xie Sheng die at the hands of the witch? You can activate the magic of the soul and record the scene, so can't you help the son of the Xie family?"

"Master Li Zhai is joking."

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly, and said slowly with a regretful tone: "Xie's ability is limited, and it is already difficult for me to protect myself. If Master Li Zhai does not believe it, Xie will make the complete soul bamboo slips public..."

"That's how it should be..."

Li Chen snorted coldly.

He didn't understand why Prince Jiangning had such an attitude after arriving at Xining Street.

Even if Xie Sheng did die at the hands of the witch.

Doesn't Xie Zhen have any sense of responsibility at all? !

The "grudge" between the Xie family and Lotus Peak was a hot topic, and even he, who was in seclusion, had heard about it.

Isn’t this a good opportunity to get rid of Xie Zhen!

"Ok."

Xie Xuanyi smiled, took out the third bamboo slip, twisted it in his hand, and asked softly: "Master Li Zhai, do you need to think about it again?"

"What else is there to consider about this matter..."

Li Chen sneered.

But the next moment, the smile on the face of the Supreme Master suddenly froze.

When Xie Zhen took out the third bamboo slip, a cold and indifferent voice fell in his heart.

That voice carried an irresistible majesty.

"That ends today's matter."

Just eight words of understatement.

This made Tai Shang Zhaizhu break out in a cold sweat.

Because this is the voice of Chongkan.

Li Chen still held the whisk tightly, and he still looked at Xie Zhen, but his gaze passed the young man standing by the window of Yuanqing Tower and swept directly to the horizon in the distance.

horizon.

The flowing clouds were blown away by the sword energy.

His lightning wanted to condense, but it couldn't.

An even more powerful force descended from above the clouds, mixed with the flowing clouds and sword energy. It appeared silently and stood still.

It was a dry and fluttering black robe, which was almost unnoticeable when viewed from a distance of dozens of miles. In the dark clouds mixed with sword energy and lightning, there was such a tiny black dot.

However, such a small black dot almost made Li Chen feel so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe.

"...Master."

Li Chen's voice was very hoarse. He used his soul to transmit his message but received no reply.

The black dot stood above the clouds, overlooking all living things.

Also overlooking him.

The reason why I didn’t say the second sentence.

It is because the previous sentence is the whole meaning of Chongkan.

That’s all for today.

Li Chen took a deep breath.

Pain, anger, and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

But after staring at the man in black at the top for a few breaths.

He closed his eyes.
