Seeing this, Bi Tianjun finally got rid of Zhong Kui. Taking advantage of Liu Hengdao's dying moments, he grabbed the Thunder Axe and chopped down at Li Moxuan, determined to make this guy pay the price.
"Be careful, young lady!"
Wang Shengan tried to get up to help, but could only cough up more blood, making the snow even redder...
Just as Bi Tianjun's thunder axe was about to strike, he suddenly saw the imposing figure behind Li Moxuan, and he froze in shock. It was...
Seemingly understanding something, he finally stopped what he was doing and vanished into thin air along with Liu Hengdao's death.
Li Moxuan walked up to Liu Hengdao's corpse and left a throwing knife with the character "Tang" engraved on its blade.
This is a mark that core members of the Tang Clan usually leave on their targets after killing them. He had prepared it in advance, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon...
After finishing everything, Li Moxuan glanced back at Wang Shengan, who was badly injured, and was hesitating whether to take him away when a commotion suddenly came from outside the snow forest.
Without further hesitation, he quickly left the area, and Rock, who was lurking in the shadows, followed suit, dispelling the shielding array...
Not long after receiving the news, Bai Shaotian led his team into the snow forest and was immediately stunned by the scene before him. What was going on?
Without hesitation, he quickly ordered the scene to be sealed off, while he took the seriously injured Wang Shengan back for treatment and reported the situation.
When Shen Yanci found him again in the Second Hall of the Underworld, he had already been in the medical clinic in the Frost Forbidden City for a while, his body covered in bandages.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Li Qi, standing beside the hospital bed, was still holding the milk tea he had bought for him. He hadn't expected that in just a short while, the once lively Wang Sheng'an would be bound up like a mummy...
"Saint Ann, what happened?"
Shen Yanci, who was standing next to him, asked while playing with a folding fan. He had already examined Wang Shengan and it seemed that the injuries on his body were caused by a lightning-attribute Deity.
In this area, people from the Thunder Domain should be the ones, and given the recent news that Liu Hengdao is dead, it's hard not to make connections.
"Second uncle..."
Wang Shengan remained silent for a long time, then raised his head, his eyes seemingly shining, and slowly said, "I saw a fairy..."
"..."
Shen Yanci paused in his movements, and after exchanging a glance with Li Qi, they both confirmed their thoughts—had he been beaten senseless?
"It's not easy to escape death, Saint Anne. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Just get some rest!"
Shen Yanci patted Wang Shengan on the shoulder. He guessed that it was probably Liu Hengdao from the Thunder Domain who had attacked Wang Shengan, but he didn't understand why Liu Hengdao was dead.
Moreover, it's strange that there's been absolutely no sign of battle within the city...
"Second Uncle, I really saw it!"
"Okay, okay, I saw it, I saw it..."
Shen Yanci gave Wang Shengan a few perfunctory words, as if coaxing a child, then waved and led Li Qi out, intending to let Wang Shengan have some peace and quiet in the ward by himself...
Chapter 383: Shameless
On the other side, Bai Jingzhe, with a grim face, pulled the Tang Clan's throwing knife from Liu Hengdao's corpse...
Bai Shaotian said apologetically, "Lord Bai, I'm very sorry, but according to our deductions, Liu Tianjun should have died at the hands of Tang Clan assassins..."
"impossible!"
Wei Xuancang, standing to the side, said coldly, "Liu Tianjun once went to Qianji City to investigate and found no experts at the fourth level of the Immortal Realm, let alone someone who could kill him silently!"
"Furthermore, according to you, the young master of the Underworld survived. If he is truly a member of the Tang Clan, why let him go?"
Bai Shaotian was speechless for a moment. Indeed, there were many things that were too strange to explain...
"Whether he was murdered or not, the incident occurred within your Dreamland Realm, and I need an explanation from you..."
Bai Jingzhe sheathed his throwing knife and slowly said, "Please inform the Moon Goddess and make sure she gives a reply during tonight's court meeting!"
You came here shamelessly and now you're blaming us?
Bai Shaotian had secretly cursed Bai Jingzhe's ancestors for eighteen generations, but on the surface he remained very respectful, saying, "I will convey this to His Majesty the Heavenly Lord!"
After he left, Bai Jingzhe ordered Wei Xuancang beside him, "Have everyone get ready. We'll set off back no later than the day after tomorrow!"
He certainly didn't think Wang Shengan had the strength to kill Liu Hengdao. To be able to kill him so decisively, he must at least be a sixth-level Immortal Realm Deity.
If that's the case, then I might become the next target, which is too risky. But I can't just go back empty-handed...
"Yes……"
Although Wei Xuancang didn't understand, he still did as he was told...
……
On the other side, Yue Xiling walked back alone. The crisis was temporarily over, but as long as that old man was still here, he would probably keep thinking about her.
What should I do next? Maybe run away from home...?
No, we'll definitely get caught. We need to think of another way...
Just as Yue Xiling was passing through an alley, a figure suddenly pulled her in and covered her mouth. When she came to her senses, she was about to use her divine power to resist when she smelled a familiar fragrance.
Like an orchid or osmanthus, her fragrance is refreshing and delightful; it is Sister Xuan…
Shh, don't make a sound!
After Li Moxuan saw her nod, he let go of her hand, but unexpectedly she took the initiative to come closer and hug his right arm.
Yue Xiling's eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight. "Sister Xuan, I didn't expect you to take down that Liu guy so quickly. You're amazing!"
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Li Moxuan awkwardly pulled his arm out of her embrace.
"Others may not know I'm faking it, but don't you know? Keep a normal distance!"
He paused, then asked, "How did you know it was me?"
Could it be that Wang Shengan reported him?
"Just a guess!"
Yue Xiling smiled and said, "Sister Xuanxuan, you've helped me a lot. I'd like to find a chance to thank you!"
"What Sister Xuanxuan... never mind..."
Li Moxuan took out two pills that looked like jade pearls. "I'm about to leave. This is the antidote..."
"leave?"
"Okay, I'll leave in a bit..."
The remaining Bai Jingzhe and Wei Xuancang were not easy to deal with, so Li Moxuan planned to take care of their Thunder Domain subordinates before leaving.
“tide Ling…”
Suddenly, a woman in her thirties with a dignified and elegant figure and long, jet-black hair stepped into the alley, followed by several guards in cloud-patterned armor.
The woman used only a simple jade hairpin to hold her hair in place, with the rest of her long hair flowing down her shoulders. Her eyebrows and eyes were clear and elegant, and her pupils were as light as rosy clouds.
"Aunt Yun? Why are you back?"
Yue Xiling recognized the woman in front of her. The Tang Clan had twelve hall masters, the Underworld had seven Yama Kings, the Thunder Domain had ten Heavenly Lords, the Holy Covenant Church had six leaders, and the Illusionary Dream Heaven also had four Spirit Lords.
However, the four spirit lords usually guard the four directions of the Dreamland region, and they generally do not return unless they have important matters to report or receive a summons from the God of Heaven.
The woman who appeared at this moment was Yun Qingyu, the strongest among the Four Spirit Lords. She had entered the fifth realm of immortality many years ago, and her guardian deity was Lady Yunxiao.
"It was your mother who called me back!"
Yun Qingyu stepped forward, looked Li Moxuan up and down, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes. "tide Ling, where did you meet such a beautiful young girl?"
Hearing her question, Yue Xiling proudly reached out and hugged Li Moxuan's arm again, "Her name is Li Moxuan, she's a friend I met outside!"
"Oh……"
Yun Qingyu nodded thoughtfully, "tide Ling, your mother asked me to take you to tonight's court meeting..."
"what?"
Yue Xiling realized something was wrong. Court meetings were generally only open to high-ranking officials, much like the morning court sessions of ancient emperors, which were attended only by important officials and the heir to the dynasty.
But since her own mother had already agreed to let that old geezer marry her off, it was clear that she wouldn't be groomed as his heir.
There's only one reason why I was dragged to the court meeting: to discuss my marriage...
Yue Xiling clenched her fists, intending to find an excuse to slip away. She stepped forward and hugged Yun Qingyu's hand, acting coquettishly.
"Aunt Yun, I'm hungry. You guys go ahead, I'll go back and get something to eat before I come back, okay?"
Yun Qingyu seemed to have seen through her thoughts, "No need, the Illusionary Heaven Palace has already prepared a banquet, just come with me!"
Seeing that her attempts to charm her were futile, Yue Xiling resorted to playing the victim, looking pitifully at Yun Qingyu.
"Aunt Yun, she wants me to marry that old geezer, but I don't want to. If he succeeds, my life will be ruined. Please!"
He thought this would move her, but to his surprise, she placed her hand on his shoulder to prevent him from running away, and sighed, "Your mother wouldn't hurt you..."
Yue Xiling was in despair, her face turning pale. She didn't understand whether the survival of Huanmengtian was really more important than her in her mother's eyes.
Li Moxuan, who was standing next to him, felt like he had stumbled upon a juicy story, but then thought that it was none of his business and turned to leave. However, he was stopped by Yun Qingyu after taking only two steps.
"Miss Li, our Lord God also wishes to meet the friend that Xiling brought back, so please come with us!"
Li Moxuan crouched down. Could it be that they discovered he was the one who killed Liu Hengdao? Should he just run away?
That shouldn't be the case, otherwise it probably wouldn't be just Yun Qingyu who came, and they wouldn't have been so polite...
After pondering for a moment, Li Moxuan decided to let things take their course and observe the situation. He was also curious about why the Underworld, Thunder Domain, and Illusion Dream Heaven had gathered in one place.
If it's about a manhunt for the Tang Clan, then he can get advance notice and take precautions...
Chapter 384: Pay Attention to Your Image
The banquet hall of the Illusionary Heaven Palace.
"Second brother, why did you bring him here?"
Looking at Wang Shengan, whose body was wrapped in many bandages, Lu Shangyu couldn't help but say, "Can't the two of us handle this little thing?"
"That kid's as stubborn as a mule, you know that..."
Shen Yanci closed his folding fan, shrugged, and found a place to sit down. "He insisted on coming in person. What could I do?"
