The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

However, no one dared to come to her for help. After all, Ji Siye was still the current Si Ming on the surface. If nothing unexpected happened, she would even be the future Pope. The guards who imprisoned her were even very respectful to her. After all, no one knew when she would come out.

Who knows if she is a petty person.

However, the quiet environment gave Ji Siye a space to think calmly.

She is now almost like an ordinary person. She can neither practice nor meditate. She might as well think about what happened tonight.

The Pope was assassinated in the palace.

The sword belonging to Wen Youqing was stuck in his chest - although the archbishop had not discovered it yet, Ji Siye, who was familiar with Wen Youqing, knew that it was only a matter of time before this matter was discovered.

But Ji Siye knew that Wen Youqing had no grudges against the Pope, and her current life seemed very good, so there was no need for her to take the risk of assassinating the Pope.

Apart from this, who is the one in the cult capable of assassinating the Pope?

The answer is clear and simple.

archbishop.

Only the Archbishop knew the Pope's schedule, and only he had the ability to wrestle with the Pope and stab the sword into her chest when the Pope was distracted.

But why?

The current archbishop is an old man who has been active in the Holy See since the time when the Pope took office. Although he originally had some conflicts with the Pope, after so many years, he has long become a "loyal dog" under the Pope. Even when Ji Qixue abdicated in the previous life and passed the throne to her, before she had completely taken control of the Holy See, the archbishop had many opportunities to rebel, but he still did his best.

Although he even put himself in jail today, appearing to be pursuing power, Ji Siye ultimately believed that usurping the throne and treason was not the archbishop's original intention.

After excluding the archbishop, there is basically no one to suspect. Could it be that an assassin from the Protoss really has infiltrated the Demon Palace?

Ji Siye covered his head and fell into deep thought.

calm.

Ji Siye, you need to calm down.

Think about it carefully, who wants the Pope to die, and what changes will happen after the Pope dies?

The first to bear the brunt are the Gods. After the Pope declared war on the Gods, they are eager to cause civil strife among the Demons, because the situation in Uttarakuru is unstable now and the gods are in a stalemate. If the Demon Cult launches a large-scale attack at this time, they will probably be powerless to resist.

However, when the cultivators of the God Clan enter the Palace of the Demon God, they will receive strong attacks. Throughout the dynasties, the relationship between the Demon Cult and the God Clan has been as hostile as fire and water, but no one in power has been assassinated by the other side.

This doesn't seem to make sense.

What about others besides the gods?

Now that the Pope is dead, today, the news of his death will spread throughout the entire South Posa Continent, causing anger towards the gods among both the army and the people.

Those noble and old ministers who originally did not support the war had to make a statement, change their attitude, and began to support the expedition.

The internal and external troubles of Nanposo Continent will be solved at the same time, and the entire Nanposo Continent will be united as one, bursting out with amazing efficiency, which has never happened in the Demon Cult for thousands of years.

Whether it is the common people, the army, the nobles, or the Church, everyone will work together to give the highest standard to this expedition.

And the winner will be......

The entire southern continent.

It seems that at this time, the death of the Pope is still a good thing for Nanposo Continent.

But would Ji Qixue really go to such lengths for a war?

In Ji Siye's heart, Ji Qixue's thoughts and methods are more than one level stronger than hers.

Her scheming, wisdom, and her eyes that can see the future are enough to keep the entire Nanposo Continent in order.

Once she wants to accomplish something, she will stop at nothing to achieve the future she has glimpsed.

The biggest problem now is that Ji Siye doesn’t know what the future looks like for Ji Qixue.

What changes have taken place in this life compared to the previous life?

Ji Siye now urgently wants to obtain more information, such as the Pope's body and the attitude of the people after learning that the Pope was assassinated, to see if everything develops as she expected.

But now she is trapped in prison. Although the guards are not strict in guarding her, for Ji Siye, who has no cultivation and is just an ordinary person, it is simply a fantasy to escape.

However, at this moment.

A cool breeze blew across Ji Siye's neck.

It’s strange. How could there be wind when this cage is buried deep underground?

Ji Siye thought doubtfully.

Then she heard a strange "saso" sound.

She followed the direction of the sound, curiously approached the wall, and listened carefully.

All I could hear was the "shushuo" sound getting louder and louder.

Immediately afterwards, a sword mark suddenly appeared on the wall built with spirit stones, and fine pieces of soil poured out, and a small dark hole appeared on the wall.

Ji Siye raised his eyebrows and looked inside through the narrow gap.

He only saw his stupid senior sister secretly peeking out through the narrow gap. She thought she was well disguised, but she didn't know that the fallen mud was so conspicuous.

The two people looked at each other, and Wen Youqing was shocked when he saw Ji Siye's face.

She touched her dusty cheek and said:

"Junior sister, since there is no one around, I am here to help you escape from prison!"

262. Senior Sister is here to help you solve the case

prison Break?

What a joke. As the leader of the Demon Cult, does Ji Siye have any reason to escape from prison?

And it was digging a tunnel. Only this clear-headed and stupid senior sister could have come up with such a simple but effective method.

Ji Siye raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

Wen Youqing: "I'm here to save you."

"Do I need your help?"

"Of course I need it!" Wen Youqing spread her hands and said seriously, "You don't know, Master has been captured by the Archbishop. The Archbishop is not a good person at first glance. If you don't get out, he might send someone to secretly kill you in prison. Senior Sister is kind-hearted and can't bear to see you suffer."

"......" Ji Siye curled his lips, "You are a very nice person."

"of course."

Wen Youqing stretched out his hand: "So let's go quickly. Your prison is really abstract. It protects against magic but not against physical excavation. I dug for a long time before I found a passage."

"Only someone as smart as you can use physical means to escape from prison in the world of immortal cultivation." Ji Siye did not take the hand that Wen Youqing extended, and whispered, "Dirty."

Wen Youqing: "(｀へ?)"

"But then again, why did you come to see me?" Ji Siye asked curiously, "Can't you just go back to Qiu Shui and ask for help?"

"Oh, it's a long story."

"Then let's make a long story short."

"Oh, you go into the cave first, and then listen to me as we climb up..."

"...suddenly I don't want to jailbreak anymore."

.......

......

Time went back half a day.

When Wen Youqing left the Demon Palace, it was still bright.

The girl was walking alone on an unfamiliar street. The entire South Posa Continent seemed to be awakened. The streets were full of pedestrians wearing white clothes and hats. The number of pedestrians was even more than that of the grand event yesterday.

In the hearts of the people of the Demon Cult, the weight of the Pope is unimaginable. He is the spiritual totem of the entire Demon Cult.

And when this Pope reduces taxes and levies and cares for the people, the value of this policy will rise again.

Ji Qixue is one of them.

During her reign, she managed the entire Nanposo Continent in an orderly manner, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, sweeping away the decadent atmosphere left by the previous Pope of the Demon Cult.

When Pope Ji Qixue was assassinated, the entire Nanposo Continent was in an uproar. Both the army and the people rushed to the Demon Palace angrily, shouting that blood debt must be repaid with blood.

From this moment on, the outcome of the war between the Demon Cult and the Gods was determined. As for when they could capture Uttarakuru, it was only a matter of time.

Even those conservative nobles and ministers strongly supported the policies left by the Pope at the morning court and supported the war against the gods. Those who expressed dissatisfaction were thrown into prison, and everyone in the entire officialdom was in danger.

The Archbishop temporarily took over the Pope's duties and began to lead the army. This former counselor had a pretty good command of the army, which made people wonder whether he had anticipated this day.

But Wen Youqing didn't know what was happening in the court.

She just rushed to Qiu Shui as fast as she could, wanting to cross the fjord and deliver the message to Qiu Shui.

But unexpectedly, the entire fjord was blocked by the guards of the Demon Cult. Not only the guards, but also the rolling thunderstorms made it impossible to pass through the fjord in a short time.

As for the reason for blocking the fjord, it is very simple. The assassin who assassinated the Pope has not been caught yet. Before the real cause of the Pope's death is investigated, no one is allowed to leave Nanposo Continent.

Even those guests who were invited to attend the event were not allowed to do so.

Suddenly, the situation in Nanposo Continent was turbulent. After Wen Youqing realized that returning to Qiu Shui was not an immediate matter, he began to think about his future plans.

With such a big event happening in Nanposo Continent, Qiu Shui will definitely be the first to receive the news. By that time, Tang Jiusheng and Taoist Lingxu will not be able to contact their master, and they will definitely understand what has happened. At that time, they will naturally try their best to rescue their master.

However, Wen Youqing's cultivation is not good enough now. She is only at the Nascent Soul stage and the Royal Guards alone are enough to make her helpless, so a frontal battle is not a wise choice.

What she can do now is to find out the truth about the Pope's death and clear her master's name. By then, the Demon Cult will not make things difficult for her master for Qiu Shui's sake.

To be honest, Wen Youqing knew quite a few clues.

She had just had dinner with the Pope before his death, and she noticed all the abnormalities of the Pope.

Especially the last words before the dinner ends.

"Let's say goodbye now."

Although this sounded like a simple farewell, in Wen Youqing's eyes, the Pope's whole body was trembling when he said the last sentence, as if he was making a complex psychological decision.

It wasn't until the end that I made up my mind.

Like in...

Go to death?

It's strange, why would the Pope want to die? Was it because he didn't eat well or didn't wear warm clothes?

Wen Youqing couldn't figure it out.

She wanted to take another look at the Pope's body to see if she could find any clues. After all, the murder weapon was her, Wen Youqing's sword. Even if the Pope was very talented, he could not be familiar with her swordsmanship. It would be easy to tell at a glance whether it was suicide or not.

but!

Wen Youqing couldn't enter the Demon Palace at all.

She knew nothing about the layout of the Demon Cult's palace, and she had no identity to wander around in the Demon Cult's palace. Once discovered, the ending would probably not be a good one.

She needed to find someone familiar with the Demon Palace to lead the way.

Fortunately, Wen Youqing just happened to have this candidate, and this person was probably also curious about why the Pope died and was happy to help.

That is Ji Siye.

As a Sima Ming who grew up in the Demon Palace, Wen Youqing believed that she must have a way to get close to the Pope's body. Now there was only one problem left.

That is how to get Ji Siye out of prison.

But this question is not a problem either.

In her previous life, Wen Youqing had the good fortune to be imprisoned by the Demon Cult, but was finally rescued by Ji Siye. During that incident, the idle witch had already figured out the Demon Cult's Ding Siye prison and knew its structure very well.

He even came up with seven or eight plans on how to jailbreak.

Now is where they come in.

......

"So, among the seven or eight prison escape plans, you chose to dig mud?"

Ji Siye asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, what was my cultivation level in my previous life? What is my cultivation level now? It's not that I can't break the formation, but digging tunnels is more cost-effective." Wen Youqing raised his head and said, "Just tell me whether I helped you escape successfully."
