Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 305 is both a test and an opportunity.

Di Xin gazed into Daji's watery eyes, and the warmth from her fingertips stirred something within him.

Daji's frankness surprised Di Xin, yet he also felt it made perfect sense. After all, the fact that the Five Saints of Qinglian Island had come to Di Xin's aid was a huge shock.

"You're quite the pragmatist. But why should I trust a demon who once plotted to wreak havoc on the court?"

Daji prostrated herself and kowtowed, then spoke with heartfelt sincerity: "Your Majesty, I swear by my very soul that I will be loyal to you for life. If I break this oath, may I be struck by divine lightning from the heavens!"

Seeing this, Shang Qingjun stepped forward gracefully and whispered in Di Xin's ear, "Your Majesty, since she has already revealed her identity, perhaps we should keep her in service for now. There are undercurrents swirling in the court right now; perhaps..."

Di Xin raised his hand to stop her, his gaze flashing like lightning as he looked at Daji, and asked, "Since you are familiar with the Chan Sect's plans, do you know how they intend to deal with me next?"

Daji straightened up, a resolute glint in her eyes. Then she said, "As far as I know, Jiang Ziya has received the Investiture of the Gods from Zhen Yuanzi and will soon descend the mountain to assist Xiqi."

"Du Yuanxian, Mei Bo, and others in the court had long been secretly colluding with the Chan Sect. They were trying to use their own lives to label the king as a tyrant, and at the same time, to ensure their smooth ascension to the Investiture of the Gods."

Di Xin already knew what Daji had said, so he showed no emotional reaction. Just as he was about to ask more questions, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.

Zhu Sheng rushed in, kneeling to report, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Uncle Bi Gan and Prime Minister Shang Rong were attacked at Uncle Bi Gan's residence, and their fate is currently unknown!"

"What? The former Prime Minister and Uncle Wang have been assassinated?"

Di Xin's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the Xuanyuan Sword from the table and said, "E'lai, immediately order the sealing of all the gates of Chaoge City."

"I don't care where the assassins are hiding. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find them for me. I will grind them to dust."

Daji suddenly grabbed Di Xin's sleeve and said with a worried expression, "Your Majesty, please wait! This matter is strange; there may be another scheme involved."

“In his reply to me, Du Yuanxi mentioned that he had handed over the evidence of the Queen’s crimes to Uncle Bigan.”

"In other words, Uncle Bigan has now become a pawn for the Chan Sect to make the King depose the Empress. Therefore, the Chan Sect will definitely not make a move against Uncle Bigan at this time."

Di Xin paused, turning to look at Daji. His face darkened as he asked, "What do you mean?"

A glint of cunning, typical of the fox clan, flashed in Daji's eyes before she spoke, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go on this journey in your place."

“If we encounter danger, I can protect myself with my cultivation level. If it is really a disciple of the Chan Sect who makes a move, my intervention will make it easier for him to lower his guard.”

After a moment of contemplation, Di Xin suddenly unfastened the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Daji. He then said, "Holding this is as if I were here in person. Remember, if Uncle Bigan suffers even the slightest mishap, don't blame me for making you pay with your life."

Daji accepted the jade pendant with both hands and bowed gracefully. Then she said to Emperor Xin, "Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail your trust."

After Daji left, Shang Qingjun said worriedly, "Your Majesty, if Daji has ulterior motives, my father and my uncle will likely be in grave danger after she leaves."

Di Xin stared at the direction of the palace gate, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "I want to see what this nine-tailed fox is up to."

"As for the safety of the old prime minister and the prince, you don't need to worry. After all, no one in Chaoge City has ever been able to kill the old prime minister and the prince in front of General Yang Jian."

Upon hearing that Yang Jian was secretly protecting Bi Gan and her father, Shang Qingjun's last trace of worry vanished completely.

He even went so far as to say, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about. It's a good opportunity to test Daji." "If Daji really wants to sever ties with the Chan Sect, Your Majesty can give her a chance."

Di Xin naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Shang Qingjun's words: to keep Daji by his side and make her a double agent.

Meanwhile, Daji, clutching the jade pendant given to her by Emperor Xin, was already heading towards Bigan's palace.

At this moment, Gunjuan, who was standing beside Daji, whispered to Daji, "Sister, are we really going to betray the Chan Sect?"

"If the Chan Sect finds out about this, our families in Xuanyuan Tomb will likely be in grave danger."

Daji sighed and said, "I had to make this choice because I was thinking of our family."

"Because the one who can save our family's lives is not a disciple of the Chan Sect, but our Great King."

Although Gunjuan didn't quite understand what Daji meant, she was used to listening to Daji in everything, so she didn't say anything more.

Before long, Daji and Gunjuan arrived at Bigan's palace. After revealing their identities, they were able to enter the palace without any trouble.

As soon as she entered the palace, Daji heard the sound of weeping. At the same time, she saw Bi Gan and Shang Rong lying lifeless on the ground.

He rushed closer to check and found that the two were already lifeless. Each had a throwing knife stuck in their chest.

Upon seeing this, Daji frowned, and a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.

"If Bigan and Shang Rong die, I, Daji, probably won't live much longer either. No, even if it costs me my life essence, I must bring them back to life."

Having made up her mind, Daji stepped forward. However, before she could even touch the two corpses, she was stopped by the guards from Bigan's residence.

Daji took out the jade pendant that Di Xin had given her and said, "I have come on the orders of the King to save Uncle Bigan and the old Prime Minister."

"Get out of the way right now! If you delay the treatment and cause Uncle Bigan and the old prime minister to be unable to be resurrected, you won't have enough heads to chop off."

Upon seeing Di Xin's jade pendant, and hearing Daji's words, the guards who were blocking Daji's way instinctively stepped back.

Daji went directly to Bigan and pulled the dagger out of his chest.

Then Daji cut her own palm, forcing out a drop of her life essence blood, which she then dripped onto Bigan's wound.

As Daji's life essence dripped onto Bigan's wound, the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a moment, Bigan regained his breath. At the same time, Daji's face turned deathly pale.

However, Daji did not pause at all, but walked directly towards Shang Rong who was standing to the side.

Just as Daji was preparing to force out another drop of her life essence to revive Shang Rong using the same method she used to cure Bigan,

A voice rang in Daji's ear, "Although the Celestial Fox Clan is exceptionally gifted, able to cultivate a drop of their life essence blood every thousand years, how many drops do you have?"
