Volume 1: The Rise of the East Chapter 30: The Ghost Messenger
It was an ordinary moonlit night, with light clouds and light winds.
At this time, Mo Yang had been away from Pearl City for nearly a month and a half.
As the saying goes, if you have the intention to insert willows and willows, you will not open them, and you will have no intention to insert willows into the shade. Mo Yang is almost like this at the moment.
The purpose of leaving Pearl City was to find out more clues about his father's personal guard Han Zhe, but he found nothing. But he didn't think that in Liuli City, which was thousands of miles away, he could find the whereabouts of the mysterious person again, and maybe he was getting closer and closer to the truth of Xue'er's poisoning.
Mo Yang changed into a night suit, covered his black face, and walked cautiously towards the destination according to the old man's instructions. With Moyang's current ability to pass through the Eight Realms to the Heavenly Realm, unless there are powerful cultivators in the same realm, there is no trace of Ruan Tiansi's cultivation of the Six Realms and the Three Grades of the Heavenly Realm.
However, Mo Yang, just in case, still let Cang Lao attach a layer of secret aura to his body.
After several turnarounds and evading several patrols, Mo Yang came to a study.
This study is located on the north side of the city lord's mansion, the courtyard is quiet, antique, and the three big characters of "Jade Tea Hall" are particularly eye-catching.
At this time, there were two people talking in the study.
Mo Yang jumped onto the roof and slowly dispersed his senses. While guarding against patrol guards, he began to listen carefully to the details of the conversation between the two in the study.
"Ruan had already received news that the envoy would visit in the near future and had been waiting for the envoy to take over. ”
This person spoke with a full of anger and a strong breath, and Mo Yang secretly thought that this person should be Ruan Tiansi.
"Lord Ruan Cheng is polite, I just came here to plan for that matter on the orders of the elders. ”
Hearing this, Mo Yang was shocked, the speaker was actually a woman's voice. If it weren't for the imprint planted by the old man, Mo Yang would never have connected this woman with the mysterious person at the auction.
At this moment, the lights in the study are flickering on and off, which is quite mysterious.
A man in a black cloak sat high in the hall, covering his entire appearance. Ruan Jingsi stood below, his face respectful and honestly afraid.
"Ruan has already obeyed the instructions of the envoy and asked Feng'er to assist the envoy from the side...... But who knows, things suddenly changed. Although Chu Yingxue was hit by the Venerable Envoy's 'Ghost Hidden Soul Needle', she was not treated in the way we had prepared in advance...... Now that she has suddenly increased her cultivation after recovering from her illness, Feng'er wants to get Chu Yingxue's favor again, but I am afraid it is impossible to ...... anymore."
Hearing this, Mo Yang's brows tightened. Our Way of Healing...... Could it be that Yin Wujie already knew about this?
"It's not as perfect as expected. If Chu Yingxue heals in the way I gave, not only will she be grateful to Ling Lang, but her cultivation will also stagnate...... At that time, Ling Lang will be tempted to use the method of double cultivation again, and he can break through the realm and continue to cultivate and improve his cultivation, and what Ling Lang asks for will naturally come true......"
"Ruan thanked the envoy for his plan. However, after all, I have a relationship with Chu Tianxiao, although this kind of practice is a bit risky, but after all, it is only for Feng'er's marriage, and the damage to Xue'er is not too great...... But in this matter, I am already very sorry for Tianxiao and Xue'er, for my son's own selfish desires, Xue'er took the risk for so many days. If it weren't for Feng'er, I definitely wouldn't have done this......"
"Oh? So, the city lord of Ruan regrets it? Remember, since you have worshiped the 'Ghost Gate', you will be a member of the Ghost Gate for eternity, unless the door master pardons you! The disciples of the Ghost Gate are not qualified to decide what they can and cannot do. This iron law is known the moment you step through the ghost door. Now, although you are the lord of a city, do you want to betray the rules of the door because of this?"
Ruan Tiansi's face was shocked, and he replied with a panicked expression, "Ruan doesn't dare." I just have a doubt in my mind......"
"Tell me what the question is. ”
"More than five months ago, the envoy suddenly came to visit, saying that it could solve my worries and help Feng'er and Xue'er get married. At that time, although I was puzzled, but for the sake of Feng'er, I could only make this decision. Now that I think about it, I just don't know why I still worry about Ruan's worries when there are so many affairs......
Giggle......
A chuckle rang out.
The woman in black laughed for a moment, and said with some disdain, "You are just a chess piece, you should feel honored to serve the Ghost Gate." The elder has been planning for many years, and he wants to take the opportunity of Ling Lang's love for Chu Yingxue's heart to do something big...... It's a pity that it backfired, and it was almost exposed...... Therefore, I have come this time on the orders of the elders to discuss with the Lord of Ruan City again......"
Hearing the word "elder", Ruan Tianxiao's heart tightened, and even his back began to chill.
"I don't know what the elder commands? Ruan, you must do your best!"
"Okay! Now that Chu Yingxue has recovered, presumably Chu Fu must be on guard, and it may be a little difficult to attack her again. Since this is the case, let Chu Yingxue go...... Now, there is another heaven-sent opportunity to do what the elders are planning. ”
"Ruan, I would like to hear about it. ”
"In another month and a half, Pearl City will hold the 'Four Families' trial...... Elder, if you want to invite the Ruan City Lord to come out in person, you must kill all the people who participated in the trial during the trial!"
When Ruan Tiansi heard this, a cold sweat instantly trickled down his sideburns, his whole body was cold, and his eyelids were beating uncontrollably.
"Kill them all? That's the best among the young generation in Pearl City, so won't Pearl City be in trouble? besides...... Besides, Chu Yingxue should also be among them, how can I do it...... Do you want to make me an enemy of Tianxiao!"
Giggle......
Another chuckle rang out.
The woman's voice was cold, "Otherwise, isn't the Ruan City Lord an enemy of Chu Tianxiao? From the moment you decided to help Ling Lang poison Chu Yingxue, you were already an enemy of Chu Tianxiao...... If I leak this matter to Chu Tianxiao and tell him that you did the poisoning of Chu Yingxue, do you think he will be your enemy?"
At this time, Ruan Tiansi suddenly realized. With a gloomy face, he stared fiercely at the woman in black in front of him.
"Original...... The elder wanted me to turn against Tianxiao from the beginning!"
"That's right! The two city lords turned against each other, vendetta against each other, and they are also sworn brothers! The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, if disasters broke out, would it cause a war between the two cities?"
Ruan Tiansi only understood at this time why everything was aimed at Chu Yingxue. What to help Feng'er marry Xue'er, these are all nonsense! All of this has long been in the calculation of the elders! In order to do it, Chu Tianxiao and Ruan Tiansi turned against each other, causing a war between the two cities, and the ghost gate was able to reap the benefits of the fisherman......
The more Ruan Tiansi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his eyes widened angrily, as if blood was oozing out.
The stakes are high. If there is a war between the two cities, it is not a simple matter of two families!
After a long time, Ruan Tiansi gritted his teeth and said, "I can't do this! Even if you kill me, I will definitely not do it!"
"City Lord Ruan, don't jump to conclusions. Whether you live or die is up to the elders. Do you think that if you die, this matter can be settled? Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you want to think about Ling Lang Ruan Jingfeng? Don't you think about the whole Ruan clan?"
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Tiansi was stunned for a moment.
"It's nothing more than asking you to kill a few people. The elders have already planned this matter, and they will not leak any information, and there will be no accidents. You only need to kill all the people who are trying to save your clan, and you can also prevent you from turning against Chu Tianxiao!, and the elder also promises that as long as you do this, you will not start a war between your two families and two cities...... Although these people are the leaders of the younger generation in Pearl City, they are only a few people who have died. The land of trials, the environment is complex, there are many traps and dangers, I heard that there is also a seventh-order high-level spirit beast trapped here, it is inevitable to kill and injure some children, besides, your glass city and pearl city are far away, who would associate this matter with Ruan City Lord...... The elder also promised that as long as you do this, he will not bother you in the future, and he also specifically allowed you to exit the ghost gate......"
"Is this true? Elder Mo didn't lie to me?"
"I am acting in the Ghost Gate, do I need to deceive the disciples of the Sect? As long as you do this, you can exit the Ghost Gate! This is the certificate!"
After the woman in black finished speaking, she still gave Ruan Tiansi a black token, and the word "amnesty" on the token glowed faintly blue.
Ruan Tiansi's heart moved. With this token, this matter cannot be faked.
Exiting the Ghost Gate, isn't this something I've been dreaming of for a long time? Besides, I don't need to implicate Feng'er and the clansmen......
Thinking of this, Ruan Tiansi was ruthless, and his eyes showed a cold light.
While returning the black token, he said gloomily, "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! Please honor the envoy to return to the elder, please rest assured! Ruan promised that this matter will be done seamlessly!"
After hearing this, the woman in black nodded slightly. Under the black cloak, a sly smile appeared.
Mo Yang hid on the roof of the study and listened to every conversation between the two with a calm face. I was shocked!
originally thought that Chu Yingxue's poisoning was just a dispute of family interests, or a dispute between children's personal affairs. Unexpectedly, this matter actually involved the Ghost Gate! Moreover, listening to the details of the conversation between the two, the mastermind behind this matter was the Ghost Gate Elder!
But who is the Ghost Gate Elder?
While carefully recalling the conversation between the two, Mo Yang began to try to find a clue. But nothing was found.
It seems that the Ghost Gate Elder is extremely hidden, and he is probably also in this Pearl City.
Seeing that a patrol guard had just walked by, Mo Yang cautiously flew down from the roof, his body was agile, as fast as a flying swallow.
After a while, he returned to the Yaoguang Courtyard.
Mo Yang didn't know when and where he found half a grass root, lying on the bed, leisurely holding it in his mouth.
"Elder, have you heard of the Ghost Gate?"
"I've never heard of it, it should be a mysterious sect that has only slowly emerged in recent years. ”
"Looking at the woman dressed in black, this ghost gate is not only secretive, but also what it is trying to do will not be as simple as it seems. So, what is their purpose? It seems that I have to deal with the matter of Liuli City as soon as possible, and rush back to Pearl City as soon as possible to make plans......"
