Collapse, start the journey from the oath under the moon

"If it's Elder Shi, the villagers should be fine."

Fu Hua patted Ling'er's head and comforted her. Although Elder Shi was stubborn, old and dim-sighted, and had a poor understanding of people, which made people very unhappy, he was not without bottom line.

perhaps......

As they talked, they continued to move toward the interior of the village.

But they had not walked a few steps, perhaps having discovered the situation at the village entrance, about forty or fifty Black Miao warriors rushed out from the houses, drew their swords, and surrounded Fu Hua and the others.

Then the Miao people in front of them stood aside, and an old man with extraordinary momentum came over. The old man was wearing a single eye patch, which should be because he was blind in one eye, but his aura was still strong.

This person is Elder Shi, a veteran of two dynasties in Nanzhao State and an elder of the Moon Worship Cult. Although he is dissatisfied with the Moon Worship Cult leader, he protects the safety of the Witch King in the Nanzhao Palace and is loyal to the Black Miao Witch King.

"Meet the princess."

Elder Shi walked up to Fu Hua and the others, glanced at them, then fixed his eyes on Zhao Linger, bowed and simply saluted her.

"...Who are you?"

Looking at the old guy in front of her, Zhao Linger subconsciously hid behind Fu Hua. She could feel that this old guy was very dangerous.

Chapter 36 The Angry Cang Xuan Book

"I, the old minister Shi Gonghu, have been entrusted by your majesty to come and welcome the princess back to Nanzhao."

"I'm not a princess. And... I'm going to Nanzhao, but you don't need to pick me up..."

These days, Zhao Linger has already understood her identity, but influenced by her master and Shen Yin, she does not agree at all with the identity of the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom.

She forced her own mother to death. She was raised by her grandmother and master since she was a child. She has long lost any impression of her parents...especially the Witch King.

Although the purpose of this trip was also Nanzhao, she just wanted to see her mother...

"Your Highness, you are the princess of Nanzhao. This is a fact that you cannot change no matter what."

"The king is seriously ill and... doesn't have much time left. The king misses you all the time, so Princess, you must return to Nanzhao with us immediately."

Elder Shi's attitude was very firm. He came here specifically to welcome the princess back. One purpose was to fulfill the Witch King's wish and let Zhao Linger fulfill her final filial piety.

Secondly, the conflict between the White Miao and Black Miao tribes is getting bigger and bigger, and someone must step forward to resolve it. The only candidate at the moment is Princess Zhao Linger.

".......I can't go with you, and I have to go see my mother first."

Zhao Linger was a little unhappy because she couldn't give up the journey with her master.

She had been planning to go to Nanzhao to visit her mother while having fun, but now she was being forced to go see the Witch King, especially since there was a high probability that she would not be able to leave once she went. This was not what she wanted.

"Your Highness, the Nanzhao Kingdom needs you now. There is no time to waste. You must come with me immediately."

Qianxun 1

Hearing this, Elder Shi also frowned. In his opinion, as the Princess of Nanzhao, Zhao Linger had an unshirkable responsibility. What if the Witch King's body couldn't hold on until then?

Now Zhao Linger should go back immediately to fulfill her filial duty and accept her responsibilities as a princess. As for the witch queen, it doesn't matter when she goes there.

"I say, you old man, there's something wrong with you!"

"Whatever Ling'er wants to do is her own business. She never owes Nanzhao... or that Chicken Feather Witch King anything."

Listening to the tone of the old man in front of him that could not be refused, as if it was their turn, Xiao Shi was disgusted. How could this guy not be completely blind? These people killed Ling'er's mother, and they wanted to kill Ling'er too?

"Who are you? This is my Nanzhao's family and state affairs. What right do you, an outsider, have to butt in on this?"

Hearing the Herrscher of Consciousness's disrespectful words to the Witch King and his interference with Zhao Linger's words, Elder Shi immediately glared at him and questioned him bluntly.

"You are the outsiders. Master Mo Yuan is Ling'er's master, not an outsider."

Before Xiao Shi got angry, Zhao Linger stood up and refuted without hesitation. Compared to those people in Nanzhao Kingdom who she was not familiar with at all, Xiao Shi and Fu Hua were the people closest to her besides her grandmother.

Because of Ling'er's words, Xiao Shi didn't say anything else. He had a smile on his face and was very satisfied.

He is indeed my good disciple.

"This is arrogant..."

Elder Shi was speechless for a moment. As Ling'er's master, the girl in front of him was naturally no longer a outsider.

But he couldn't understand, and found it hard to accept that such a yellow-haired girl who looked not much older than Zhao Linger had any qualifications to be the master of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Even if you are the princess's master, you should not be so rude."

"No matter what, today, whether Your Highness the Princess is willing or not, you must go back to Nanzhao with me to see the Witch King. I am sorry for being rude."

Noticing Zhao Linger's situation, Elder Shi realized that she would most likely not leave with him. In that case, his expression became firm and he gave the order.

"Please bring Her Royal Highness the Princess over here."

The princess is still young now, and she will be taught when she is brought back to Nanzhao. As the daughter of the Witch King, he believes that she will not let him down.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the Miao warrior walked towards Zhao Linger without any hesitation, scimitar in hand.

"You are going too far!"

"Ling'er has never enjoyed the treatment of a princess. Instead, she lost her mother because of those people in Nanzhao and fled Nanzhao. How dare you ask Ling'er to go to Nanzhao to fulfill her filial piety or even take on responsibilities that she shouldn't bear!"

At this time, Cang Xuan Zhishu couldn't help it. She didn't understand how there could be such an unreasonable person.

He didn't care about Ling'er's own thoughts at all and directly forced her to do so.

"As the bloodline of the Witch King, this is a responsibility she cannot refuse."

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi's expression remained unchanged and he still insisted.

"Humph! Courting death."

Hearing these words and seeing the Miao people in front of him preparing to forcibly take Ling'er away, Xiao Shi couldn't bear it anymore.

Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and all the Miao people around them vomited blood and flew out. These Miao people were very powerful, but they were just ants in front of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Seeing the situation of his men, Elder Shi's face changed drastically, and he immediately took action. Although he was old, his strength was still extraordinary, and he was a top expert in the entire Nanzhao.

However, this time he was facing Xiao Shi.

Just as he was using his strength, Xiao Shi appeared behind him, raised his right foot and stepped on his shoulder. A powerful energy came... He couldn't bear it at all.

Even if he gritted his teeth and veins bulged in his temples, it was of no use. He was forced to kneel down, and his kneecap was fractured.

"You are so weak!"

Too lazy to waste time, Xiao Shi attacked without mercy.

Even Elder Shi, who was extremely powerful, was powerless in front of him.

"That's it? When you get old, just prepare your coffin and wait for death. Why are you coming out here to suffer?"

Xiao Shi mocked this guy in a sarcastic tone and didn't kill him outright. He just wanted to hand him over to his disciple.

"..."

Elder Shi gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

I couldn't believe that I couldn't resist a single blow. How could she be so strong? Even those monsters who had practiced for thousands of years didn't care about him at all. How could this be possible...

Who is she?

"Ling'er, how do you want to teach him a lesson?"

He kicked Elder Shi and kicked him in front of Zhao Linger. Then Xiao Shi stepped on him so that he could not move, and then asked Linger what he thought.

"...I want to ask you something."

Looking at the old man who had been so arrogant just now but now lying in front of her in a mess, Zhao Linger did not sympathize with him, even though she was nominally the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom.

He just asked some casual questions about the Nanzhao Kingdom.

As for the memory of Nanzhao Kingdom, Zhao Linger only has the memories before she was 6 years old, and most of them are already vague.

Chapter 37: Ten Thousand People Battle

After being killed instantly by the Herrscher of Consciousness, Elder Shi began to doubt his life. However, facing Zhao Linger's questions, he still answered everything in detail.

Although he is stubborn and unyielding, he will not hide anything from others.

Only then did Zhao Linger learn more about her parents and the situation of Nanzhao Kingdom from him...

To be honest, the reason why the Witch King and Ling'er's mother Lin Qing'er got together was entirely because of this old guy.

Back when the Witch King was still a prince of the Black Miao tribe, it was through Elder Shi's matchmaking that he met and fell in love with Lin Qing'er, the high priestess of the White Miao tribe, and they got married.

The two ethnic groups thus turned from enemies to friends and the whole country rejoiced.

But this situation only lasted for eight years. Eight years later, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult slandered the Witch Queen as a snake demon who destroyed the country and deceived the king. He led his followers to surround the palace and forced the Witch King to execute the Witch Queen.

The Witch King was skeptical about this, so he imprisoned the Witch Queen in a dungeon. In order to prevent the Witch Queen from using magic again, the Witch King also confiscated her Heavenly Serpent Staff and locked it in the underground palace, guarded by Elder Stone.

Later, because of Li Xiaoyao, the Witch King directly suspected that Lin Qing'er was going to betray him.

Qing'er expressed her loyalty to the Witch King, but the Moon Worshiper at the side slandered her and advised the Witch King not to listen to her "sophisticated excuses" and to expose the Witch Queen's true colors on the spot.

The Witch King thought for a moment and directly ordered Baiyue to take action.

The witch's magic was performed by the Moon Worshiper, and the unique snake body of the Nuwa clan was revealed, proving that she was indeed the "Snake Demon Woman", and then this series of events happened.

"…Is this what happened back then?"

"After I arrive in Nanzhao, will he and you treat me as a monster and kill me even if I show my true colors?!"

Zhao Linger's face was extremely ugly. The true body of the Nuwa tribe existed in the form of a snake tail, and she was no exception. Her mother was therefore regarded as a snake demon. Even if she really agreed to go back with Elder Shi, wouldn't it be the same?

What is even more unforgivable is that this old man Ya was involved in everything that happened back then. Although he did not take the initiative, he was suspected at the time.

Now is the time...

Because of what happened between Lin Qing'er and the Witch King, the conflict between the White Miao and Black Miao, which had only been peaceful for eight years, became even more serious. In particular, some areas of Nanzhao were hit by severe drought, and the economic situation led to internal suffering...

The Nanzhao Kingdom was in chaos, the Moon Worship Cult was omnipotent, and the Witch King was running out of time. So they remembered to look for Zhao Linger.

As the child of the Witch King and Lin Qing'er, she is the only one who can prevent the two tribes, especially the White Miao people, from hating the Black Miao so much.

"Absolutely not, Princess. You are the king's bloodline, how could you be a monster?"

After hearing what Zhao Linger said, Elder Shi quickly denied it.

Now he also regretted doubting the Witch Queen at that time. Everyone had been deceived by the Moon Worshiper, but there was no going back.

"......."

Zhao Linger didn't like this answer, simply because she had the blood of the Witch King.

So does my mother deserve to be a demon?

Even though she sacrificed herself to save Nanzhao, my mother is still regarded as a damned snake demon in the eyes of most people in Nanzhao, especially those who worship the Moon.

But the only thing that bothered her was the situation of the Bai Miao people...

The Bai Miao tribe was her mother's side, and her mother's statue was still in the Bai Miao tribe's Nuwa Temple. There was also a severe drought over there, and it was difficult for them to survive.

She could ignore the situation on the Witch King's side, but the situation on the Bai Miao tribe... She couldn't just ignore it and continue to leisurely head towards Nanzhao.

Thinking of this, Zhao Linger turned her gaze to Master Chi Yuan beside her.

"Master, over at Bai Miao..."

"Xiaozhi and I are both fine with it. No matter where we go first, it's still a trip, so you can do whatever you want."

Although this was different from the plan, Fu Hua didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

This is life, plans can never keep up with changes.

What's more, at their speed, it doesn't matter where they go first. There will be no difference after solving the Bai Miao issue and then continuing their journey to other places.

"Old Antique is right. It doesn't matter where we go first."

The Herrscher of Knowledge also nodded.

"Thank you."

Ling'er said nothing more, but just looked at her two masters with gratitude.

The influence of Shen Yin takes a long time, and now she still has great love for the world. But with Fu Hua around, she will no longer sacrifice herself to save the world.
