Chapter 49 A Drop of Blood

Although the voice was soft and pleasant, it filled the kneeling people with fear.

No one spoke, and the lion general felt helpless. He was the leader of this trip to the Five Goats Tomb, and naturally no one else would speak for him.

Gritting his teeth, the lion general bowed forward and said, "Reporting to my emperor, this is what happened on this trip."

The lion general began to tell the story of the Five Goats Tomb from beginning to end.

Finally, the Lion General said, "Because of the Taoist's disruption, the formation was broken and had to be rearranged. In addition, nearly half of our soldiers who went there were killed or injured by him, and less than 30% of them were still able to fight again. In addition, the rearranged small Tiangang Thunder Control Formation could only exert less than 30% of its power on the day when the Five Sheep Tomb was closed. Therefore, nearly 20% of the cultivators from various places escaped from the hands of several old monsters and were not completely annihilated."

"In addition, after the battle with the Taoist, I was seriously injured. Ning Lanhou and others who were responsible for the formation were also seriously injured and almost died. The Tiger General was only left with one breath. Because of his serious injuries, he has not woken up yet. Ten of his ten thousand silver-armored soldiers are dead. . After the Taoist priest and the red-clothed female cultivator left, Saint Cang Ming went after them and returned recently. He was seriously injured and dying, so he immediately went into seclusion to heal his wounds. Before Saint Cang Ming went into seclusion, he entrusted this jade slip and this jade bottle to me and asked me to present them to my emperor. "

Lion General took out a jade slip and a white jade bottle from his arms and handed them to General Xiong who was walking over. Then he knelt with his forehead to the ground and said, "My emperor is wise. This trip was due to my lack of preparation and has nothing to do with the others. I hope my emperor will show mercy and give me a chance to make meritorious contributions and serve my Dayan."

Take the jade slip and jade bottle from General Xiong, ignore the jade bottle, and Emperor Yan first takes the jade slip. After a long time of sensing, Emperor Yan's face did not change at all. He just turned around and handed the jade slip and jade bottle to the old man in white beside him.

Ignoring the old man in white who was thinking about something, Emperor Yan looked at the people in front of the desk, and after a moment of silence, he smiled gently and said, "Okay, everyone, get up. This trip was caused by an unexpected event, which is beyond human control and has nothing to do with you. You have tried your best and almost died. I saw it all. You are all pillars of Dayan. If you die because of this, I will be very upset. I will draft an edict and reward you generously."

The kneeling people were all excited when they heard this. They were so open-minded to Emperor Yan. Even though they were all cultivators, they felt tears welling up in their eyes.

Just as they were about to thank him, General Xiong suddenly spoke.

"My emperor, I think it is inappropriate. This time, despite the careful preparation, nearly 20% of the monks escaped from the Five Goats Tomb. It has already failed. Although there were unexpected strong men who disrupted the situation, it was also because of their incompetence. My emperor is kind and does not want to punish them severely. I feel the same way. But your emperor actually wants to reward these failed wastes. I think it is extremely inappropriate. If you act like this, how can you be sure that others will not follow suit in the future? Then, won't it mess up the government?"

After saying this, General Xiong swept his cold eyes over everyone. Although they resented this nosy General Xiong in their hearts, they only dared to secretly hate him in their hearts. How could they dare to do anything else? Suddenly, everyone thanked him in unison and resolutely refused the reward from Emperor Yan.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan nodded helplessly, looked at the expressionless General Xiong, and smiled: "You, you, are just so stubborn and don't know how to adapt. After you scare them like this, how dare they say anything? Forget it, let it be. You retreat first and take good care of your injuries."

After speaking, Emperor Yan waved his hand gently, and the kneeling people hurriedly thanked him, lowered their heads and walked out of the study silently, with an urgent feeling in their footsteps.

When everyone left and only the three of them were left in the room, Emperor Yan put on a gentle face and frowned at the old man in white.

"Old Wen, what do you think?"

The old man in white, called Old Wen, did not answer, but pondered silently for a while, then opened his eyes and said: "My emperor, I am 80% sure that it should be him."

Emperor Yan nodded slightly and said: "I think so too. But, if it is really him, why is he so weak?"

Old Wen said nothing, his fingers trembled quickly, and after calculating for a while, he shook his head helplessly and said: "I can't calculate, 90% sure it should be him. I think it may be that he suffered some serious injuries in the Five Goats Tomb, which greatly reduced his strength. It took so much trouble to break the Tiangang Yulei Formation with only 30% of its power. After all, the old monster Wuyang was also a A top figure, if not... the things he left behind must not be as simple as they seem. "

Yan Huang nodded, rubbed his brows, and said: "So, the woman in red should be the witch in the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Wen Lao nodded and said: "It should be correct. The witch and him have had grievances for thousands of years, and only she can make him lose his composure like this."

"Fortunately, this time I finally found his trace." Yan Huang suddenly laughed happily, "I have been looking for him for hundreds of years, wasting so much effort, setting up such a trap, and even the witch didn't notice it, and finally led him out."

Wen Lao also nodded happily when he heard it.

Turning his head to look at General Xiong, Yan Huang asked: "Has the Liang family in Wuyang City been arranged properly? There are no traces left. "

General Xiong bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, my emperor, everything has been handled properly, and there are no traces left."

Emperor Yan nodded, and suddenly looked at General Xiong strangely, and asked, "I say, Xiong Xiong, you won't give them all...?" As he said that, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

General Xiong's expressionless face suddenly froze, as if he was shocked by the word "Xiong Xiong", and as if he thought of something, he was faintly soft.

Seeing the emperor's actions, General Xiong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my emperor, I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Emperor Yan nodded after hearing this, but his face was dissatisfied: "I have told you many times, call me Tai Luo when there is no one. You stupid bear, you are a stubborn person."

General Xiong quickly lowered his head after hearing this, pretending not to hear it.

Rolling his eyes at General Xiong, Emperor Yan looked at Old Wen.

"Old Wen, can you figure out who those people around him are? From what Cang Ming said, it seems that he is particularly protective of them, and even spent his essence to forcibly split the space crack to send them out. They should not be ordinary people."

Looking at the white jade bottle in his hand, Old Wen was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have deduced the blood in this bottle one by one. Among the nine drops of blood, seven drops are ordinary cultivators. One of these seven ordinary cultivators should be Lu Xiaoyu, the daughter of Lu Heng, the head of Taixu Palace. One of the other two drops should be the little girl who ran away from the Mu family, Mu Xueqing, if nothing unexpected happens."

Speaking of this, Old Wen couldn't help but glance at Yan Huang gently.

Sure enough, when Emperor Yan heard Mu Xueqing's name, he was slightly stunned, and a complex expression instantly appeared on his face. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little relief: "It turned out to be that little girl Xueqing. No wonder he was able to help her. Fortunately, Xueqing was rescued by him. If something really happened to her, I would be uneasy!"

Shaking his head gently, Emperor Yan looked at Old Wen and said: "Is there anything special about the remaining drop of blood?"

After hearing this, Old Wen's face became serious and he said: "The last drop of blood may be the real reason why he fought so hard. If I am not mistaken, this drop of blood should be his apprentice."

"Apprentice?!" Emperor Yan was stunned, "He actually also accepts apprentices?!"

Old Wen nodded: "It should be his apprentice, because this drop of blood is like him, I can't figure it out. But..."

"But what?" Emperor Yan asked strangely, and was even more surprised to see that Old Wen was hesitant. You know, Emperor Yan rarely saw this expression on Old Wen's face.

Old Wen hesitated for a long time, pointed at the jade bottle, and suddenly a drop of blood flew out of it, lingering on his fingertips. Handing the drop of blood to Emperor Yan, Old Wen whispered: "My emperor, you'd better take a look yourself."

Emperor Yan frowned and looked at him, stretched out his finger to touch the drop of blood.

After sensing silently for a while, Emperor Yan looked at Old Wen with a strange face, and just as he was about to speak, he seemed to suddenly think of something, his face changed, and he directly touched the drop of blood on his fingertips and kneaded it gently.

After a long time, Emperor Yan opened his eyes in a daze, muttering in disbelief: "Impossible! Impossible! How is it possible?! Could it be?!"

Suddenly, Emperor Yan looked at Old Wen and said in a cold tone: "Check!"

Old Wen bowed and responded, slowly leaving the study

He looked at General Xiong who was standing with his head down, and said coldly: "Seal it."

General Xiong bowed slightly and strode out.

In the quiet study room, Emperor Yan leaned back in his chair, thinking expressionlessly. His slightly opened eyes occasionally flashed with fierce light.
