All the demonic breath from Yan Zhilan's body dissipated, and his eyes were clear.

He was facing Qi Jing, turned his wrist, and in a flash, Qixing turned his sword and pierced deeply into Qi Yao's vitals.

Unprepared, Qi Yao was stabbed. He snorted and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of disbelief: "Why? How could it be... so? You have clearly..."

Yan Zhilan turned around, and Qixing returned to his hand in response, and stood side by side with Qi Jing, his face sinking like water.

"Ahem——" Qi Yao was supported by the man in Tsing Yi, coughing repeatedly, spitting out mouthfuls of black blood, Yan Zhilan's sword mercilessly hit the vital point.He stared at Yan Zhilan, and shouted like crazy: "No one can solve the puppet array, how is it possible? I will never fail, I will never fail!"

Qi Jing looked at him with a complicated expression: "You are calculating, but you forgot to calculate yourself."

Qi Yao turned his head abruptly, stared at him, and asked word by word: "What did you say?"

"You are not a real demon, but only a half-devil. How can you compare with the heart and blood of the descendants of the gods?" Qi Jing saw that his face was covered with blood, but the cruelty in his eyes was still the same as before, and sighed: "You are too cruel." You have underestimated the painstaking efforts of the descendants of the gods."

"Impossible!" Qi Yao resolutely said angrily, his handsome face became a little distorted by his anger, "Even with the blood of the descendants of the gods and the control of the puppet array, how did he untie it?"

Qi Jing shook his head: "No one can solve the puppet formation unless the person who set it up dies. Naturally, we are helpless about it."

A smug expression appeared on Qi Yao's distorted face. The puppet formation was created by him for many years. How could he be willing if it could be cracked so easily?

But in an instant, the smugness on his face dissipated.

Yan Zhilan took the lead from Qi Jing, and continued naturally: "There is no need to crack it, just suppress it."

If it is someone else, there will be no solution.However, the pill core in his body belongs to Qi Jing. Although it has been completely integrated with his spiritual power, it is still involved with Qi Jing. Only by restraining his mind and maintaining a trace of clarity in the Lingtai, he was able to rein in the precipice.

Both of them didn't want to talk more about this matter with Qi Yao, so they just skipped it, and they didn't care how Qi Yao asked.

Qi Jing knew that he needed heart medicine for his heart disease, Qi Yao is now all caused by his heart disease, if he took a dose of strong medicine, he might still be saved, so he turned around and said: "Father once told me that I didn't pass it on back then. It's not because you are incompetent, but because you are not from the blood of the Qi family."

The tone was as ordinary as eating and drinking, but it exploded in Qi Yao's ear, causing him to lose all color, his lips were pale, and even the man in Tsing Yi beside him moved slightly.

Qi Jing went on to say: "When my mother passed by Jingzhou, it happened that Mrs. Zhao had a difficult childbirth. She gave birth to you in a ruined temple. After leaving my mother alone, she died. My mother couldn't bear it, so she took you into the palace. Take care in the palace. At the time when my mother was very favored, and Qi Wangshan had no heirs, in order to avoid troubles caused by tongue, they declared that you were born to a maid in the palace, and that you were the illegitimate son of your father. You are undoubtedly a half-demon, but Not the son of a father and a witch, but the child of a witch and someone else."

Qi Yao's eyes were stained with blankness, and he murmured: "Impossible, impossible. You lied to me, you all lied to me!"

Seeing this, Qi Jing simply confessed everything he knew: "Father once told me that it was not because you were expelled to the northern border, but because of the awakening of the devil blood in your body, you finally couldn't control yourself, and killed countless people in your sleep. Ten palace servants woke up but didn’t remember anything. There were so many people in the palace, so this matter would leak out, so my father made an excuse. After washing Zhaoming Palace with blood, he reluctantly sent you out of the palace and entrusted you General Yu Shen Shuo, I hope that staying away from the capital can suppress your demonic nature."

After a long time, Qi Yao looked down at his hands full of devil blood, and murmured: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not," Qi Jing said, "It's true. I've finished what I have to say. Now, it's time for me to ask you."

He took two steps forward, stopped a few steps away from Qi Yao, looked down at him, and asked word by word: "The lock whip on Yan Zhilan's body was your hands and feet? About the maid?"

Qi Yao's lips were stained with devil's blood, he stared at him for a long time, then slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Yes, it's me."

Qi Jing was still skeptical before, but now that he admits it, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt heavy in his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. With red eyes, he tried his best to calm himself down: "Why?"

At that time, he had just come to this world, and he had never met Yan Zhilan before, and there was no relationship between them. Who would have thought that Qi Yao's situation had already spread its tentacles.

"Why?" Qi Yao said with a smile, "My dear brother, why are you still so naive? The Yan family's prestige in the capital is so high. He died tragically on unwarranted charges. Guess what those aristocratic families will do?"

Given the prestige of the Yan family, I'm afraid that soon, the entire capital, and even the entire Da Yue family, will pour into the palace to plead for Yan Zhilan and the Yan family.The aristocratic family and the royal family were already in conflict, and due to the situation, Qi Wangshan either abolished him, or continued to let him be the monarch against the pressure of the world, but the monarch has lost the hearts of the people, I am afraid...

Qi Jing gasped: "Your goal is me."

"How come?" Qi Yao's eyes were full of tyranny and excitement, "Of course it's not that simple. Not only you, but I want the whole moon to be in my hands, and I want to destroy everything in this world!"

Qi Jing looked at him incredulously: "You are really crazy."

"Am I crazy? I'm crazy." Qi Yao's pale face was stained with blood, and he said in disgust: "Qi Jing, you are a person who should have died a long time ago, what right do you have to stand here and compare with me? You just— -cough--"

He coughed up a big mouthful of blood, wiped it off nonchalantly, and said sarcastically, "It's just that your life is better than mine. In terms of other things, how can you compare to me?"

Qi Jing opened his mouth, but before he said anything, he heard Yan Zhilan say: "A ruler should be kind, loving and righteous, and treat the people like his own sons. This is enough."

"Enough!" Qi Jing didn't want to argue with him, but just wanted to make a quick decision and rush back to the capital.With a stern shout, he summoned the Nine Sages, and rushed straight to his face.

"Bang Dang -" a sound, the swords meet.

The man in Tsing Yi greeted him with a sword, taking off Qi Jing's strength.

Qi Yao laughed out loud, with blood dripping from the corner of his lips.He retreated back into the crowd unhurriedly, with a strange light in his eyes, and snapped his fingers together: "Qi Jing, do you think you can kill me because of this? The big gift from the emperor's brother, You haven't said whether you like it or not, how can the emperor be willing to leave?"

As he snapped his fingers, the puppet monks beside him moved at the sound, holding spiritual weapons and attacking Qi Jing and the others one after another.

For a while, the room, which was not very spacious, was extremely crowded.Among them, swords, swords, and swords are constantly fighting.

Qi Yao stayed out of the matter, stood far away from the crowd, and said to Qi Jing: "My dear brother, enjoy yourself."

Qi Jing was distracted, and was struck by a puppet cultivator holding a knife, and a spirit sword in the air blocked the big knife.

Qi Jing was able to catch his breath, he looked up at Yan Zhilan, said "Thank you", and threw himself into the fight again.

Although these puppet monks were highly cultivated, they were still far behind the three of them. It didn't take long for them to knock down more than half of them together.The only trouble is that these puppets are just like Qi Yao said, they don't know pain, they are very strong, even if they are covered with blood, they are still tireless.

Qi Jing had a headache, seeing that Yan Zhilan and Nangong Ziyi's cultivation was more than enough to deal with these puppets, so he saw the opportunity and went out to find Qi Yao.

As the saying goes, capture the thief before capturing the king. Since these puppet monks were refined by Qi Yao, according to the cracking method of the puppet array, as long as Qi Yao is killed, everything will be solved easily.

While carefully avoiding the fighting monks around him, Qi Jing rushed out, but when he saw that he was about to rush out the door, he was blocked by a person.

The masked man in Tsing Yi stood in front of Qi Yao, protecting him impeccably, with the air of a man guarding the gate, and no one can open it.

Qi Jing was extremely angry, holding the Nine Sages and fighting with the man in Tsing Yi.

But within a few strokes, Qi Jing was startled, the cultivation of this man in Tsing Yi was even higher than he imagined.It's just that for some reason, she seems to have reservations about him.

Qi Jing had been entangled with those puppet monks for a long time before, but at the moment he was out of energy, and seeing that he was about to lose the wind, a radiant spirit sword appeared out of thin air.

Yan Zhilan stood in front of Qi Jing and said to Tsing Yi, "Yan Fanzhi ask your Excellency for advice."

Qi Jing heaved a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to get away and kill Qi Yao.

However, as if the man in Tsing Yi had expected what he was going to do, he dodged in front of Qi Yao and deflected his blow.

Qi Jing was out of breath, and the next moment, Yan Zhilan's sword followed closely, the man in Tsing Yi dodged on his back, and the mask fell off, revealing his true face behind him,

Qixing was only a fingertip away from the face of the man in Tsing Yi, but Yan Zhilan could no longer move him.

Qi Jing looked at Yan Zhilan's face, which was half or half of the same, and was stunned for a while.This person is...

The man in Tsing Yi obviously didn't expect the mask to fall off, and an unnatural expression appeared on his face.

There was silence for a while, only Qi Yao shouted: "Shen Shuo, this is the end, why don't you kill him!"

Qi Jing's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Yan Zhilan's saying "Shen Shuo is not dead" before, he suddenly felt a little unreal, these two people who had been dead for many years suddenly stood in front of him alive, what happened?

He subconsciously looked at Yan Zhilan, only to see Yan Zhilan, who was always calm and composed, pointing his sword at Shen Shuo, with a trembling voice: "You really didn't die. Why?"

Qi Jing hadn't figured out what his "why" was asking, but Shen Shuo who was opposite seemed to have understood Yan Zhilan's meaning, and said softly, "It's all fate."

Qi Jing silently rolled his eyes, thinking: Fuck him!

Yan Zhilan obviously did what he thought, and he quickly recovered from his previous gaffe. He looked at Shen Shuo firmly, and said word by word: "I never believe in fate. If you believe in it, prove it to me—" —”

Before reading the words, the Seven Stars in his hand suddenly exerted force and attacked Shen Shuo mercilessly.

He had already entered the Tao by practicing swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship was superb. With his full concentration, he made a fatal move, which made Shen Shuo completely careless. He could no longer care about Qi Yao, so he could only deal with it wholeheartedly.

Qi Jing saw the right moment, and the Nine Sages stabbed at Qi Yao.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yao, who was dying before, suddenly turned rosy, as if he had taken some magic medicine, and easily avoided Qi Jing's blow, and at the same time he did not forget to mock: "I didn't expect that after so many years, your The swordsmanship still hasn't improved. It's a pity that you have a cultivation base."

Qi Jing was furious, it was okay to insult him, but not his swordsmanship!

In a fit of rage, he swung the sword flower in his hand very fast, the sword light was lingering, and the heavy sword intent surrounded Qi Yao, waiting for a chance to give the final blow.

Finally, the opportunity came!

Wu Qing came late with his people, knelt down not far from Qi Jing, and said: "The old minister has lived up to his trust, and finally took down all the traitors. We only need to wait for your superiors to deal with it."

"How is it possible! I don't believe it!" Qi Yao suddenly turned his head, and it was this distraction that gave Qi Jing a chance.

Without hesitation, Qi Jing stabbed the Nine Sages who had poured spiritual power into Qi Yao's chest. Qi Yao opened his eyes wide, looked at him unwillingly, and fell to the ground on his back.

At the same time, the puppet monks under his control inside and outside the house, like puppets who lost their strings, also fell limply.

Qi Jing retracted the Nine Sages, stared at Qi Yao for a while with a complicated expression, and exhaled heavily.

"Ah Jing," Nangong Ziyi ran out of the house, and after seeing that he was safe, she also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine."

Qi Jing spread out his hands, his hands were splashed with Qi Yao's blood, the warm feeling was still there, he couldn't help shivering because of the heat, he turned his head blankly: "I, I killed someone."

Nangong Ziyi patted him on the shoulder: "This Qi Yao has committed many crimes, and he really deserves to die. If you kill this kind of person more, you will get used to it."

Qi Jing couldn't laugh or cry immediately, how could he be so comforting?

After such a flash of divine effort, the dust on Yan Zhilan's side has also settled.

It must be that Shen Shuo lost his fighting spirit when he saw Qi Yao's death, and he couldn't bear to hurt Yan Zhilan, so he simply gave up his sharp blade and captured him without a fight.

Qi Jing walked up and down in front of Shen Shuo, he couldn't understand, Shen Shuo was clearly his father's most capable and trusted subordinate, why would he betray and abscond?Thinking of this, he asked.

Shen Shuo pursed his lips tightly, and refused to speak at first, until Qi Jing threatened to tell the world about his undeath, then Yan Zhilan would definitely be implicated by him, and his reputation would be lost, then he slowly opened his mouth.

"The fact that I died in battle was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to cover up people's ears."

Once he started, the following words were not so difficult to say. Shen Shuo looked down at the dusty ground: "After I learned of my half-human, half-devil bloodline by accident, out of curiosity, I I secretly searched for the whereabouts of those half-demons. Until I saw those same kind, they were all described as embarrassed, sallow and emaciated.

Having said that, his voice became difficult, "Unexpectedly, the demon blood awakened later, and my comrades slaughtered. In desperation, I had no choice but to take these fellow clansmen away from home. Before leaving, I planned a golden cicada to escape its shell. Successfully escaped in the name of feigning death."

"Together with those fellow clansmen, I concealed my identity and ran here and there for several years, but couldn't find a place to stay. Until Qi Yao came to the northern border, he accidentally discovered my secret...Only he didn't care about his background, and sent us Being arranged in the army gave us a chance to survive again... Shen Shuo has nothing to repay..."

Qi Jing was silent, and quietly glanced at Yan Zhilan.

Yan Zhilan's expression was normal, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Qi Jing couldn't help asking: "Then why did you allow Qi Yao to attack the Yan family? Anyway, Yan Zhilan is also your grandson, how can you bear it?"

Shen Shuo closed his eyes in pain, and his voice was hoarse: "I have no choice. I can't just watch my fellows live without dignity. I can only find another way to find a way out for them."

Qi Jing became more and more puzzled: "What does this have to do with Yan Zhilan?"

"Because the Yan family is the best target." Yan Zhilan said coldly, "The half-demon is in the moon, and everyone can't avoid it. They can't survive at all. The only way to break into the inner clan of the capital and use the power of the clan, maybe There is still a glimmer of hope. And the Yan family, with a great reputation and a good family style, will definitely not give up their bloodline just because of their birth. If the Yan family is the leader, and they openly declare that they don’t care about their half-demon backgrounds, and the family follows closely behind them, it will be a defection Half of it. So, don’t fight the defeated soldiers.”

He turned his head and looked at Shen Shuo with clear eyes: "My mother is also a part of your plan, isn't she? The meeting between her and my father and even giving birth to me are also in your plan, right? "

After these words were asked, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard quietly.

After a long time, Shen Shuo nodded slowly: "That's right, everything was planned by me."

Qi Jing's eyes widened in astonishment: "Are you crazy? They are all your close relatives, how can you be willing?"

Shen Shuo looked at him: "In front of righteousness, what kind of family relationship are you talking about?"

Qi Jing was about to be blown up by him, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Yan Zhilan.

"Righteousness?" Yan Zhilan clenched his fists, then loosened them again, he said coldly: "The old gentleman treats you well, but you lie to your superiors, betray the country and become a thief, is this your righteousness? "

Regardless of Shen Shuo's expression, he took another step forward, looked into Shen Shuo's eyes, and said again: "The Yan family has become a pawn for you to use just because of their upright family style and integrity. This is your righteousness? , not distinguishing right from wrong, is this also your righteousness?"

He pressed every sentence and asked questions loudly, which made Shen Shuo's face more and more ugly.

Even Qi Jing couldn't help sweating for him, and whispered, "Yan Zhilan."

Yan Zhilan glanced at him, then continued to look at Shen Shuo: "You are full of benevolence and morality, and you are doing hypocritical things. General Shen Shuo has already died in the northern border, you are not worthy."

After finishing speaking, he dropped Qixing, turned and left without looking back.

Qi Jing stared dumbfounded at his leaving figure, then came back to his senses for a moment, looked at Shen Shuo with complicated eyes, hurriedly told Nangong Ziyi and Wu Qing to deal with the funeral, then walked towards Yan Zhilan with big strides.
