Chapter 216 Soul-drawing
In the village, Qin Mu turned around and saw Wei Yong. He was startled for a moment, then smiled and waved, "It's Brother Wei and the Duke. What are you doing outside? Come in."
Wei Yong winked and said, "Come out quickly, I have something to talk to you about! Come over here, something big has happened at Tai Academy!"
He was worried about Qin Mu's safety, so he wanted to pull Qin Mu out of the fire pit. He thought, "Brother Qin was probably out shopping, and didn't know that this was the place where the Heavenly Demon Cult was looking for revenge, so he accidentally walked in. How dangerous is this? These villains of the Heavenly Demon Cult are so ferocious that they killed even a first-class official like Sun Nanda, a leader-level existence, in an instant. Brother Qin's small body might even have its marrow squeezed out!"
When Duke Weiguo saw that the two old men and women guarding the gate had cut off his escape route, veins popped out on his forehead and his eyes twitched: "Wei Yong, this bastard, is more troublesome than me! I'm afraid I can't leave now!"
Qin Mu raised his hand, and the old woman behind Duke Wei hurried forward. Qin Mu turned his head and said a few words.
The old woman turned back and said with a grin, "Duke, little brother of the Wei family, please come in and have a seat."
The corner of Duke Wei's eye twitched. He looked at Qin Mu deeply, took a long breath, and said to Wei Yong, "Let's go in."
The two walked into the village and saw that it seemed to have been newly built. Everything was new and they could even smell the fragrance of wood.
Duke Weiguo and Wei Yong saw Qin Mu walking into the village, and followed him reluctantly. Duke Weiguo whispered, "Yong'er, how is your relationship with brother Qin Mu?"
"A life-long friendship!"
Wei Yong said solemnly: "It was he who saved me when the Yulongmen attacked the scholar ship!"
Duke Weiguo was troubled and asked, "Have you ever saved him?"
Wei Yong shook his head.
"He saved you, but you didn't save him. Your life-saving friendship is useless!"
Duke Weiguo was worried, thinking, "Now we can only take things one step at a time. This brat has done me a great disservice. I wonder if my friendship with Li Tianxing, who I met several times before, will be of any use..."
They came to the center of the village and saw a platform there, only a few feet above the ground, which was made of wood.
The platform is not big, only about three meters wide.
The members of the Tianmo Sect in the village sat on the ground below the stage. The old woman next to Duke Wei laughed and said, "State Master, little brother of the Wei family, just sit down. Don't worry, the ground has just been mopped, it's very clean."
Wei Yong looked down and saw some dark red bloodstains on the ground. He wondered in his heart, "I wonder if they have cleaned up the mess. What if there is still a head left somewhere..."
The Heavenly Demon Cult destroyed Nanda's palace and Sun Nanda, a first-rank official, in one encounter. Their strength was really outrageous. Although Duke Weiguo had experienced many battles, he did not dare to act recklessly here. He thought: "Although the Heavenly Demon Cult made a big fuss this time, the strong men in the capital will definitely not be alarmed. They acted too quickly, and I guess they will kill us just as quickly..."
Below the stage, hundreds of people sat in silence, quietly waiting for the Holy Master's instruction.
Wei Yong looked around and suddenly caught sight of Qin Mu. He waved and said excitedly, "Brother Qin, Brother Qin! Come over here!"
The Duke of Wei wanted to press this fat boy to the ground and stuff a few smelly socks in his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.
Fortunately, the members of the Demon Sect around him seemed not to hear Wei Yong's shouting, and they were all still sitting upright.
Qin Mu smiled at Wei Yong and walked towards the stage holding up his clothes.
Wei Yong was startled and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't go up to the stage. Don't go up there. That's where the Saint Master gives his training..."
Duke Weiguo said fiercely: "You little bastard, shut up!"
Wei Yong quickly shut up. Duke Wei said angrily, "How could I have a descendant as tight-lipped as you when I am so tight-lipped? Don't you see it?"
Wei Yong was stunned. He saw Qin Mu walk up to the stage and turn around. The members of the Heavenly Demon Sect stood up and bowed to greet him: "Master, Saint Master!"
Qin Mu nodded and said, "No need to be polite, please take a seat."
Everyone sat down.
Wei Yong opened his mouth in surprise, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Duke Wei sighed and muttered, "I have long said that there is something wrong with Bangongcuo. Wu Zun Louluojing is not right, so there is indeed a problem. Now it seems that it is most likely that the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect has personally stepped in. The Heavenly Demon Sect actually chose a young man as the leader, which is quite courageous..."
On the stage, Qin Mu also sat down and asked, "Who knows the magic skills of soul searching and spirit seeking?"
A woman stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, I have some knowledge."
Qin Mu nodded and suddenly used the Soul-pulling Technique. A gloomy portal appeared behind him. Black fog poured out of the portal, and even the light emitted by the kerosene in the iron pots dimmed.
At this moment, everyone saw the souls of Sunanda and a group of monks standing in the gloomy black fog.
Qin Mu said, "Master, I want to know who else Sun Nanda has, and who he teamed up with to kill the two Heavenly Kings of my sect."
"Respect the law."
The female hall master stepped forward, took out a bright mirror, performed a secret technique, and shone it towards Sun Nanda.
The mirror light shone on Sun Nanda's soul, and the light penetrated his soul and fell into the air behind him. Various pictures appeared in the mirror light. They were Sun Nanda's experiences during his lifetime, and they flashed by quickly like a horse's show, constantly going back to the moment before his death, and soon reached the memory of the siege of King Lu Tian.
"The Prince's Grand Tutor Yun Boshan, the Prince's Grand Protector Ting Yanju, the Prince's Junior Teacher Cui Mingzhi, the Prince's Junior Tutor He Qianqiu, and..."
The Right Protector Xue Bie'e recorded the people who appeared in Sun Nanda's memory. Her eyes fell on the last person, her pupils shrank slightly, and she said, "There is also Ling Yuxia, the crown prince of Yankang."
Qin Mu nodded and said, "Write this down. Find a good time to send them on their way."
The Right Protector wrote down the name of Prince Yankang.
Duke Weiguo was shocked and opened his mouth but said nothing.
The Demonic Cult is so arrogant that they even want to kill the crown prince. He is the crown prince of Yankang Kingdom!
However, he couldn't say anything. Although Yankang Kingdom was once prosperous, in history, its prosperity was only in the last two hundred years. The rise of Yankang State was followed by the rise of Yankang State Master.
The Heavenly Demon Sect is a real giant with a long history. It has experienced the prosperity of countless countries and the change of dynasties. The killing of the Heavenly Demon Sect's king is not only a deep hatred, but also a great shame and humiliation. This hatred must be avenged.
The Duke of Weiguo can hardly protect himself now, how can he speak for the prince?
The female hall master continued to recall Sun Nanda's memories, searching all the way to the moment of the siege of King Qiantian. This time, in addition to the prince and others, there was also the prince's guard, Master Ruopiao.
The Prince's Guardian of this generation is not Gu Li Nuan. Gu Li Nuan has been missing for two hundred years, and the position of the Prince's Guardian was given to Master Ruo Piao by the Emperor.
Master Ruopiao also came from Buddhism, and his Buddhist name was Ruopiao, which was taken from the phrase "he only took one scoop out of three thousand weak waters".
Yun Boshan and Cui Mingzhi, both of them are leaders of Taoism. Ting Yanju and He Qianqiu are from aristocratic families, and are powerful families who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world.
These five people, plus the deceased Sunanda, are all from the prince's faction and have all served as the prince's teachers.
There were sixteen first-rank officials in the court, six of whom were from the prince's faction.
"Also remember Master Ruopiao's name."
Qin Mu said, "It's almost the New Year, let them have a peaceful New Year and have their last New Year's Eve dinner. Sun Nanda is dead, the Nanda Palace has been destroyed, but the Nanda Temple is still there. Elders who protect the religion, go and raze the Nanda Temple to the ground, leaving no traces behind."
The religious elders all agreed.
Duke Weiguo heaved a sigh of relief. The young leader of the Demonic Cult still had some sense. Otherwise, if there was a commotion, six first-rank officials in the court would have died at once, plus the crown prince. I'm afraid that if the emperor investigated, he would definitely lead the investigation back to the Demonic Cult!
After all, the Yankang court is the orthodox one. If the Heavenly Demon Sect goes against the court, it will be difficult for it to survive. In addition, the Taoist sect and the Great Leiyin Temple will definitely add insult to injury, so the Heavenly Demon Sect will be in danger.
Killing one every now and then can minimize the risk.
For example, this time when he killed Sun Nanda and destroyed Nanda Temple, Qin Mu appeared in the identity of the Golden Palace of Loulan, brought the treasure of Nanda Temple, lured the monks of Nanda's other palace, and forced Sun Nanda to show up, lured him out of the capital, and came here.
Although Sun Nanda was a leader-level existence, it only took a moment to kill him and destroy Nanda's palace. Moreover, it was not carried out in the capital, and not even a trace was left. It can be said that each step was closely linked and extremely powerful.
Even if the emperor wanted to investigate, he would not be able to find any clues, and could not trace it back to the Demonic Cult.
After Sun Nanda's death, the prince will be alert and it will be difficult to attack him. If you act rashly, you may fall into a trap, so it is better to wait for this period of time.
At this moment, Qin Mu looked at Wei Yong and Duke Weiguo and smiled. Duke Weiguo was awed and laughed, "Master, I have a loud voice."
"I know."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "If the Duke shouts, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will be able to hear it clearly. Do you think that my Holy Church killed Sun Nanda skillfully?"
Duke Weiguo was worried, and Qin Mu meant that he could kill them both before he could even utter a word!
Duke Weiguo took a long breath and said, "I used to have a close relationship with your Sect Leader Li!"
Qin Mu turned his head to look at the left and right guardians beside him. Xue Bi'e said, "The former leader had met him a few times, but they were not close friends."
The Duke of Wei's face turned dark and he looked around quietly to see if there was any chance of escape.
Qin Mu said solemnly: "Duke, my sect has lost two great Heavenly Kings, and now there are two more vacancies. Duke is from an aristocratic family, not in a sect, so there shouldn't be any obstacles for you to become the Heavenly King of my sect, right?"
Duke Weiguo laughed dryly and looked around. He saw that the twenty warriors who had just joined forces to kill Sun Nanda had already stood up. His eyes trembled and he said, "I am Duke Weiguo. I have an official position. How can I have the time to be your Heavenly King of the Sect? Why not give me an easy job..."
Qin Mu smiled gently: "Don't worry, my Holy Church is relatively scattered, and we will only ask the Duke for help when there is a fight. The Duke is just a figurehead. Not only is the Heavenly King of the Church relatively idle, even I, the leader, am very idle. If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't go there in person. If the Duke is not happy, we won't make it difficult for him. As long as he swears not to reveal what he saw today, he can leave. People in the world have too many misunderstandings about our Holy Church, and they think we are demons who kill people without blinking an eye. Don't you think so?" After that, he laughed.
The members of the Demon Sect in the audience also started laughing, but their smiles were fake and they looked like they were ready to turn hostile and kill people at any time.
"I'm happy to!" Duke Weiguo said hurriedly.
Wei Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "Duke..."
"Shut up!"
Duke Wei turned around and scolded, "You have done me a great disservice! My reputation has been ruined by you, little bastard. If you hadn't called me Brother Qin, we could have gotten away with it!"
Wei Yong curled his lips and said, "Old Master, they said they would let us go, so why do you insist on joining the sect? Brother Qin has a kind heart and is not the kind of vicious person."
Duke Wei blinked his eyes and said, "Do you really think he is not a vicious person? If he is not a vicious person, how could he become the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult?"
Qin Mu coughed and said, "King Wei Tian, we usually call ourselves the Heavenly Saint Sect, not the Heavenly Demon Sect. I am not the leader of the Demon Sect, but the leader of the Saint Sect. King Wei Tian, please remember this."
Wei Yong said excitedly: "Old man, the title of Heavenly King is much more famous than that of Duke! Brother Qin, you should also arrange a job for me!"
————I have been coughing all day, and today I finally have a low-grade fever. My bones ache all over my body, and I feel depressed. The weather has been hot and cold recently, and colds are more likely to occur in autumn, so book friends should be more careful.
