Chapter 583 Seeking the Peacock

"Catch the assassin!"

"Something happened to Mr. Ji Dan!"

"Someone come quickly!"

Late at night, there was a little more noise in a corner of the Shang Palace. Groups of soldiers holding torches rushed into the vicinity of the prince's palace.

Prince Zishou, who had gone to bed early, ran here wearing his underwear.

Donghuang Taiyi is the reincarnation of a remnant soul. The original remnant soul is already very weak and needs to be nurtured for a long time before he can be reincarnated smoothly. He has no immortal consciousness to use at the moment, but his six senses are different from ordinary people, his ears and eyes are sharp, and he has weak spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, as soon as Donghuang Tai heard that Ji Dan had been assassinated, he could not use his spiritual consciousness to detect the specific situation, so he rushed here in a hurry.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi didn’t think too much about his ‘father’s mission’;

Ji Dan just arrived today and just stayed next to the palace where he lived. This was still in the heavily guarded Shang Palace. To assassinate him like this, he simply didn't take him seriously as a prince!

Someone from the palace came running to greet you: "Your Highness!"

"How's it going?"

"Master Ji Dan was seriously injured, but his life is not in danger for the time being. A dagger pierced his chest. The dagger missed the vital point by just a hair!"

"Who did it!"

Donghuang Taiyi scolded: "You actually attack a five-year-old child, and you are so shameless!"

The palace man hurriedly said: "The assassin was a dead man. When we caught him, he had already cut his throat and committed suicide! He is a palace man outside the palace and has been in the palace for three years."

Dong Huangtai paused and frowned: "You mean, if this dead man assassinated me tonight instead of Xiao Ji Dan, I would be the one who was about to lose his life by just a hair's breadth?"

The palace man quickly knelt down and said, "I know you are guilty!"

Dong Huangtai swung his sleeves and crossed the side of the palace man, and quickly entered the attic. He saw little Ji Dan lying on the bed, and the witch doctor who was busy beside him.

Thanks to the businessmen's love of expanding their territory and conquering the West, the witch doctors are also very good at treating such injuries.

They may not be able to solve a pandemic;

But they are very good at stopping bleeding and recovering from injuries.

Xiao Ji Dan is naturally in a coma now, and Li Ping'an's mind has returned to his original body. He is watching this place with a sky survey mirror and will wake up when he needs to.

Since he acquired the Phoenix Clan's battle body, he has rarely felt such pain.

Although Li Ping'an was often beaten when he was practicing with the Transcendents, the pain of the Tao body collapsing was different from the pain of a sharp blade piercing a mortal body. Moreover, every time the Tao body collapsed, the soul fainted first, but this time Li Ping'an clearly felt the sting.

The other party really wants to kill him.

Li Ping'an used his immortal knowledge to slightly interfere with the other party's judgment, and then quietly moved his body, only to achieve the current 'slight difference'.

Who wants to kill him?

There was no evidence of the dead man's death, but Emperor Li Tiandi found the real culprit with just a little investigation using the sky survey mirror.

No matter what, others have done it to him. Should he still lie down and wait for the other party to kill him a second time?

Even if he couldn't operate it in the ordinary world, he could still give the opponent some sudden illness and death.

Li Ping'an flicked his sword finger and drew a spell. He was about to find out who was behind the real murder, but was stopped by the voice of Donghuang Taiyi coming from the survey mirror.

There is no rush for this moment.

I heard that Donghuang Taiyi was furious there, but the young man already had a majesty that made the palace guards fearful.

"Are all the guards guarding this place asleep? Arrest all the servants and maids sent by Xibohou Mansion! All the guards on duty tonight are tied up and kneeling outside!"

There was chaos inside and outside the attic.

Soon there were cries, and Xiao Jidan's servants and more than 20 guards were tied up and knelt in front of the attic.

Dong Huangtai waved his hand, and the group of people began to be tortured.

Li Ping'an thought these guys would just lose their heads.

After the witch doctor had treated little Ji Dan's wound, Donghuang Taiyi asked: "How is the injury of the fourth son of Xibohou?"

"There is no fear of life, but the internal organs are injured."

The witch doctor said seriously:

"Now I just stopped the bleeding. I will give him some herbs to swallow later. When I go back, I will also pray to God for him and ask God not to take him away.

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

"Can't you die?"

Donghuang Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief, then crossed his arms and stood beside the bed, frowning and thinking.

He murmured: "Who is behind this, why would they attack a five-year-old child? He just came to Chaoge City, so he must have no enemies. The reason behind this should be to arouse Xibohou's hatred for Chaoge City. "

The witch doctor did not dare to speak and whispered: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong with you, I will go back to pray."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said: "Give me regards to God when I pray."

The witch doctor's expression changed drastically, he glanced around subconsciously, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness! Be careful! You can't play with God!"

Donghuang Taiyi curled his lips in disapproval.

Will he tell these guys that he was once the emperor of heaven before, and the current emperor of heaven can only be regarded as his junior?

"I know, let's go down."

"yes."

The old witch doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and left quickly, fearing that God would punish him if he walked too slowly, and that he would be implicated by the prince.

Screams came one after another outside the door.

Many areas in the palace were lit with lights, and a large number of soldiers ran back and forth, searching for assassins everywhere.

Donghuang Taiyi stood aside and frowned for a while and analyzed. Two guards wearing purple armor rushed towards the place and knelt on one knee behind Donghuang Taiyi.

"Your Highness! The King inquired about Ji Dan's injury!"

"Your Highness, I have already investigated this matter. The assassin seems to be related to Xilin Hou."

Donghuang Taiyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Xilin Hou? That is the Xilin Hou whose fiefdom was in the west before, but was defeated by Zhou State and fled to the palace with his family?"

"Yes!"

"If you don't need your brains, just trade them with dogs."

Donghuang Taiyi's mouth twitched slightly:

"Xilin Hou is poor and destitute, how can he afford assassins?

"What does he want to do by arranging assassins to lurk in the palace for three years? Did he know that Ji Dan would be sent here and would be stationed outside the palace?"

Donghuang Taiyi snorted:

"Hostages from various countries have special residences. If he wants to assassinate the hostages sent by Xibo, wouldn't it be easier to arrange people to enter those inns? "

The two purple-armored guards lowered their heads quickly, not daring to breathe.

Donghuang Taiyi glanced at Ji Dan for a few times, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and had an idea.

"This matter will be reported to His Majesty as Xilin Hou ordered. Xilin Hou will be detained first, and he will be punished in the dungeon. Let him end his life by himself.

"Also, send someone to ride a shuttle horse to Xiqi and say that Ji Dan was attacked and treated by the best doctor in the palace. It was just a skin wound and nothing serious."

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and took the order and left.

"These guys, their lies are so low-level."

Donghuang Taiyi glanced at Ji Dan, then shook his head and sighed: "Only five years old."

Then he left with his hands behind his back, leaving more than a hundred guards to guard this place closely.

In the Heavenly Palace.

Li Ping'an was lying in the misty Huachi, holding the Sky Survey Mirror and watching this scene, smiling and shaking his head.

Donghuang Taiyi should have guessed who made the move.

Li Ping'an pointed his sword at the astronomical mirror, and the light and shadow on it changed. The picture just moved a little to the side, locking on the mastermind of today's assassination.

The old man lying on the soft couch, enjoying the service of several enchanting women...

If he is not the contemporary Shang king, then who is he?

It's a bit confusing, let's sort it out.

As the way of heaven shows, the assassins sent to kill little Ji Dan tonight are the contemporary Shang kings, Emperor Yi and Zi Xian.

What is this old man trying to do?

A test of loyalty to Xibo Hou?

Emperor Yi had already killed Ji Chang's father Ji Li. Logically, he should know that Ji Chang hated him but dared not express it. Even if he killed Ji Dan and even Ji Kao, according to Ji Chang's forbearing nature, he should have written a letter to praise the killing, which was to help him clean up the house.

What is the purpose of this old man doing this?

Sending assassins to assassinate is not a punishment, nor is it a direct use of his own royal power.

In the political structure of the Shang Dynasty, the King of Shang could directly kill his subjects without asking any reason.

Moreover, it was not difficult to frame someone.

"This is quite interesting."

Li Pingan touched his chin, and then realized another problem.

Donghuang Taiyi, the young prince of Shang, actually took the initiative to send people to Xiqi City to spread the word that there was nothing wrong with little Ji Dan.

What was the purpose of this?

If Emperor Yi wanted to stimulate the Zhou Kingdom to rebel, and then destroy the Zhou Kingdom and solve the future threat to the Shang people;

Why did Donghuang Taiyi take the initiative to send people, as if he was afraid that the Zhou Kingdom would rebel now?

"Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi did not want the Zhou Kingdom to rebel?"

Li Pingan thought along this line of thought and soon found a logical line.

It is known that the Transcendent Teacher wanted the Taoist Immortal Conferred God Tribulation to happen and crush the last variable between heaven and earth.

It is also known that Donghuang Taiyi was a chess piece sent by the Transcendent Teacher.

To sum up, Donghuang Taiyi's purpose must also be to make the Daoxian Conferred God Tribulation happen normally.

In other words...

The future Emperor Xin and King Zhou of Zhou in front of Li Ping'an advocated that Zhou should attack Shang.

Six!

Why did the emperor rebel? Shang and Zhou Conferred God Edition!

Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he knew how to play, it was still this transcendent teacher.

Li Ping'an threw the Sky Survey Mirror aside and made a note of the old man Di Yi.

If it was any noble of Shang, Li Ping'an would have smashed it with a thunderbolt, but Di Yi was the "Human Emperor" of the secular world of Nanzhou. Killing him would have too much cause and effect, and the gain would not outweigh the loss.

When Di Yi died, the underworld would just do some revenge.

Li Ping'an planned to let Xiao Ji Dan fall into a coma for a few days, which was also a vacation for himself, and he could go out and move around with his original body.

To be honest;

I haven't seen Master Qingsu for a few years, and I miss her.

...

In the depths of the Chaos Sea, the Feng Clan's land with beautiful scenery.

It is actually very difficult to identify the direction in the Chaos Sea, because there is no continuous direction in the Chaos Sea.

But for a powerful tribe like the Phoenix Clan that survived from the Chaos Sea and followed Pangu to kill people everywhere and became the king of the ancient times, the blood memory still retains the method of survival in the Chaos Sea.

So the Peacock Fairy led several Phoenix Clan masters to find the tribe land, which was generally very smooth.

The only problem she encountered was...

The tribe land was found;

The rearrangement was also arranged;

But there were no Phoenix eggs to place.

The Dragon Clan was actually doing the same thing, but the Dragon Clan could store a large number of new dragon eggs.

From this perspective, the Dragon-Phoenix War was not without winners and losers, and their Phoenix Clan was the complete loser.

Several Phoenix Clan generals were summoned by the Peacock Fairy.

"This place has been arranged properly," said the Peacock Fairy, "The great catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, you and I should go back and prepare for it early."

Several generals looked at each other and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Peacock Fairy said: "You are all old ministers of the clan who followed my mother back then, just say it."

"Now the catastrophe is coming, the end of heaven and earth may come in thousands of years, or even less than a thousand years if that transcendent person is ruthless."

"Although the new emperor is wise, the order, weather, and prosperity of life between heaven and earth are far better than any era in ancient times, and the way of heaven is also extremely powerful, but... the end of heaven and earth is almost an inevitable fate, and heaven and earth also have a cycle, which is a memory that has been passed down in our blood."

"So, we have discussed it, because we are tied to the origin of heaven and earth, and our own avenues cannot be separated from the sea of ​​​​the law, so we will naturally return to silence with heaven and earth."

Several old ministers talked for a long time, but they didn't get to the point.

Peacock Fairy frowned and said, "You all want to say that we should leave hope for the Phoenix Clan, right?"

"That's right."

"Although His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven mentioned it, and His Father the Emperor of Heaven also said that the development of the Soulless Art will lead to some genetic technology, but I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until that day."

"His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has refined the Phoenix Clan's battle body, and he now has the blood of the First Phoenix..."

Peacock Fairy was speechless: "I have already lowered my status and even abandoned my dignity, but he is unwilling to reproduce with me."

Several Phoenix Clan generals also began to feel troubled.

Their Phoenix Clan is extremely special.

The bodies of these generals are all flying birds close to the Phoenix Clan. In their early years, they were given blood by the First Phoenix, which is equivalent to a modified pseudo-Phoenix.

After the Dragon and Phoenix War, the last bloodline of the Phoenix Clan is now only three, Peacock Fairy, Jin Peng, and Li Ping'an who devoured the Phoenix Clan's battle body.

Among them, Jin Peng is too alienated, similar to a Pegasus with dragon blood. Even if Jin Peng and Peacock Fairy get married - which is not uncommon in the ancient times - the chance of them giving birth to a Phoenix bloodline is shockingly low.

An old man of the Phoenix clan said: "Is the problem with the Queen Mother?"

"Let's discuss this when we get back. If it doesn't work, we can only use force."

Peacock Fairy said slowly:

"It's a bit strange.

"Logically speaking, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven should be under tremendous pressure now. The end of the world is coming at an unknown time. Even if he wants to resist, he can't fight against the transcendent.

"But this Emperor of Heaven is always cheerful and rarely frowns."

"The Emperor of Heaven is only cheerful on the surface, but he may be complaining bitterly behind the scenes."

"Hahaha, it shouldn't be. If the Emperor of Heaven is really worried, the atmosphere in Heaven will gradually become dull, but now, at least when we came out, the atmosphere in Heaven is quite relaxed, as if the demise of heaven and earth is just like this."

The Peacock Fairy smiled and said, "This is probably his own charm... But then again, according to the balance rule in the Great Dao, all things are mutually generated and restrained. Our Phoenix Clan restrains the Dragon Clan, Pangu God created the world and was restrained by heaven and earth, and the magical power of the Five-Colored Divine Light also has a natural nemesis, but why doesn't this transcendent have a nemesis?"

Several Phoenix Clan generals pondered for a few times, but couldn't explain it.

Suddenly, the old man's chuckle came from the side.

"Hehe."

The Peacock Fairy and the Phoenix Clan's generals seemed to shudder, and in an instant they held their weapons and looked in the direction of the laughter.

There, an old man in a long robe came with his hands behind his back.

The great formation of the Phoenix Clan's territory was as if nothing happened.

If the old man had not spoken on his own initiative, he would have walked behind them in mid-air, and they would probably not have noticed.

His name is a lie, and his skills are the best among the immortals.
