Chapter 31: Blue Lord's Shikigami
Their direct commander is my Amaterasu brother. β
"Prince Amaterasu?" Lan Jue was taken aback again, then sighed, "Then I understand." He, the future crown prince, is bent on safeguarding the interests of the empire. The fact that my name alone can cause a riot will not let me go. Honglian is right, I was too naΓ―ve. β
"Yes, the royal brother does not let go of any risk factors. But that's a different story. β
"What else do you say?"
"You must have been hunted down by the bounty group many times before, but I don't know if you noticed it, every time you send someone, the combat power is only above average, and the highest is only the seventh order martial venerable level. The bounty group has hunting as its main purpose, and its natural masters are like clouds, and there are no less than 100 people at the ninth order martial saint and tenth order martial god level in this Izumo City alone. The witch Lan Jue is famous all over the world, and it stands to reason that the royal brother should send the highest level of martial arts to hunt down and encircle and suppress. β
Lan Jue thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "So you mean, Prince Amaterasu is actually aware of the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, and he is deliberately leaving me a way to live, wanting to lure out the people behind the scenes?"
Deyu nodded, "Although the imperial brother didn't say it explicitly, I think that's what he meant." β
Lan Jue sighed, "Okay. You high-level rulers, if your mind is as dense as the sea and as dense as hair, it seems that I have thrown myself into a net, and I have done this too much. β
"How could it be such an extra move!" Dewa took Lan Jue's hand and said, "I'm happier than anything else to see you again." β
Lan Jue smiled, "Me too." All these years of hiding in Tibet, always living in a deserted place, I am about to become a wild man. β
Dewa pulled Lan Jue to sit down on the wooden steps and asked, "What about your invincible Shikikami, why wasn't he with you?"
Lan Jue tilted his head, "Your information is really well-informed." I remember when I was in school, I hadn't practiced the Divine Summoning Technique. β
"That's nature. Every time the imperial brother sent out, he either never heard from him, or he returned with a feather. The people who came back said that there is a Shikigami who controls the fire element by your side, who controls the fire furnace and has perfected the realm, and the fierce god is vicious, like a killing god. β
Lan Jue laughed, "Kill the gods, he started the fire to stir up nonsense, but he usually ...... It's a cute look. Bet with you, now that I call him, he'll definitely scold me. β
Deyu asked in surprise, "What, can Shikijin discipline his master?"
"He didn't treat me as a master, he treated me like a crazy girl. And voila. Lan Jue stood up, his hands sealed, "Immediately respond, come quickly." The Heavenly Master has an edict, and he is in a hurry to pursue it. Great Summoning Technique!Red Lotus!"
The scorching red lotus immediately appeared in front of him.
Deyu witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Red Lotus was really as Lan Jue said, frowned, and said to Lan Jue with a stiff face, "Are you stupid? Let them bully! Don't stop me, I'll kill them!"
"Hey, hey, Red Lotus, you come first, I'll introduce you to someone!"
"Who is it?" Red Lotus turned her head and looked fierce, which really startled Princess Dewa.
"This is Princess Dewa, my classmate and friend. β
Honglian only glanced at Princess Dewa next to her, then picked up Lan Jue and hugged her in her arms, staring at the blood marks on Lan Jue's wrist with a frown, and said, "Quickly let Caihui use the life technique to treat you." β
Lan Jue shook his head, "He's still weak." This little injury is out of the way. β
Only then did Honglian look at Princess Izuha, a very sharp gaze flashed in her golden eyes, her fangs were also exposed, and there was a faint murderous aura in her tone, "Those things just now, are they your subordinates?"
Princess Dewa suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
Lan Jue hurriedly hugged Red Lotus's neck and said, "Okay, okay, Red Lotus, don't scare Izu. She and I were good friends when we were at Qiushui Library. We talked about it just now, and the investigation team and the bounty team both know that I am not the real murderer, and Prince Amaterasu is now the leader of the bounty group, and every time he sends the people, the combat effectiveness is not up or down, obviously not to really chase and kill me, but just to lead out the mastermind behind the scenes. So don't be angry. It's good to slowly find out the real culprit in the future. β
The atmosphere between Red Lotus and Princess Dewa still couldn't ease up, and Lan Jue had no choice but to reconcile the atmosphere without words, "Deyu, Red Lotus used to be a member of the Bounty Knights. β
Deyu was taken aback, "Really, no wonder the strength is so amazing." β
Honglian sneered, "The strength is amazing, but it's not because of the bounty group. It's because I've been cultivating for thousands of years. β
When Izuyu heard this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, his fingers trembled a little, pointed to the red lotus, and asked, "What? thousands of years? Taiwei, what is he ......?"
Honglian also frowned, "Taiwei?"
Lan Jue sighed, thinking in his heart, it seems that it was a mistake to let Red Lotus and Izuha meet, and then answered the questions of the two, and said to Izuha, "Red Lotus is my undead god. To be precise, he was a member of the bounty group during his lifetime. β
"Raw...... Before his death...... "Dewa can't accept such a strange thing anymore, and his mind is in chaos.
Taking advantage of the short circuit in Izuyu's brain, Lan Jue turned to Red Lotus, "Taiwei is my original name. Lan Jue was called by you, the name of my last life. β
"You haven't told me that your name is Taiwei. Red Lotus's expression faltered, "I'm sorry for confusing you with the events of your previous life for so many years. β
"What does it matter. I'm still me!" Lan Jue smiled.
Red Lotus turned her head and said to Deyu murderously, "Since you know the truth of the matter, don't pester Lan Jue from now on." Otherwise, I will burn this palace to ashes!"
Princess Dewa hurriedly shook her head, "Of course the knights won't hunt you down anymore! However, who is the real culprit, do you have any clues?"
Honglian's face was still very ugly, "Gathering intelligence is the specialty of your investigation team, how can you ask others instead?"
Princess Dewa felt a lot of pressure in front of the red lotus, and took a few steps back, "Of course, I will also send someone to find out as soon as possible." β
Lan Jue sighed heavily. For the fierce gods of the Red Lotus, Lan Jue really has no way. However, all the fierce gods and evil spirits of Red Lotus are for the purpose of protecting Lan Jue, and when he thinks of this, he can't help but feel a little happy.
"Sure enough, the wound is still a little painful!It's better to ask Caihui to treat me!" Lan Jue thought about pulling out Caihui and the others, which could be regarded as a distraction, lest Red Lotus always be vicious to Izuyu.
Honglian really immediately put aside the question of Izuyu, and immediately said, "Hurry up." He's probably pretty much recovered. β
Summoning Caihui and Xiaolan, the two looked around, and Caihui reacted first, "Here...... Could it be the Imperial Palace?"
Lan Jue nodded, "Yes, this is the imperial palace of the Qin and Han Empire," and then pointed to Yu and introduced, "This is Princess Deyu." I'm here to settle some old things, and you two must not be rude. β
Caihui saluted Princess Izuyu, "I have long heard that the Qin and Han Empires are the upper states of the Celestial Empire, and when I saw it today, the weather was really extraordinary......"
As soon as the greetings and politeness began, Honglian was already impatient, and dragged Caihui past and said, "Okay, okay, it's not nonsense to call you out." Lan Jue is injured, treat her quickly. β
Caihui looked at Honglian's fingers and was startled when she saw the dense blood groove on Lan Jue's wrist, "What's going on? Who got hurt?"
Gently holding Lan Jue's small hands, Caihui mobilized the Mu Yao element, and said softly, "Plants, trees, flowers and leaves, all things have spirits, bless me with strength, the essence of healing." β
On Lan Jue's wound, a tender green leaf appeared, covering the wound, faintly glowing. After a while, the leaves slipped and the scars on the wrists were gone.
Deyu took Lan Jue's hand and looked at it again, "Is this good? You have more than one Shikigami? Your Shikigami are so powerful?"
