Chapter 147: Behind the Scenes

In the monuments of the mysterious valley, in a ruined palace, two pitch-black shadows flickered.

One of the tall shadows slowly pulled out a white demon inner pill and placed it in the center of the altar.

"Chatter... I didn't expect that the natural disaster actually met a master and destroyed the body, it's really pitiful..."

A familiar voice came from inside the other black robe, and it turned out to be a blood demon.

The tall shadow waved his hand, wrapping the primordial god of the natural disaster around his inner dan, and then recited words in his mouth.

A strange curtain of light suddenly rose around the altar, and radiating blood-colored lines appeared around the Heavenly Calamity Inner Dan. The lines became clearer and clearer, and in the end, they were shining brightly.

The tall shadow injected a trace of magic into one of the altar's mechanisms, and this magic skill seemed to activate some kind of formation, and the huge crystals scattered around the altar shone with dazzling brilliance.

These crystals were obviously prepared for the recovery of the natural calamity, and the infinite energy contained in them was slowly injected into the inner pill of the natural calamity through the blood-colored lines.

The tall shadow nodded slightly, turned around, and looked at the Blood Fiend:

"Blood Demon, don't talk about the wind and cold, bring the Blood Demon Bead..."

The Blood Fiend obediently stretched out his blood claws, on which floated beads of magnificent blood.

"Strategist, this is a blood bead coagulated with the blood of 100,000 people in Jiuzhen City, you hurry up and put it away, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it later..."

The Bloodfiend seemed to lick his lips and make a smack-smack.

It turned out that this tall shadow was the military advisor of the demon clan, and it was he who planned this terrible massacre.

A small puff of black smoke emanated from the military advisor's body, which wrapped the blood beads and slowly drifted towards him.

The Blood Bead stopped in front of the swaying shadow of the military advisor, who showed a pair of glowing white eyes, scrutinizing it.

"The blood of these 100,000 people is only a little more, and it is still very pure... It seems that the things I have given you have done well..."

The voice of the military advisor is inaudible, and there is almost no recognizability.

But the Blood Demon was clearly flattered, and he bent down, attached the Blood Claw to his chest, and said respectfully:

"Strategist, my Blood Demon is the right protector of the Lord, and I will do my best for the resurrection of the Lord... Chatter..."

The military advisor nodded, he motioned for the Blood Demon to get up, and said slowly:

"It seems that I made the right decision... Among the hundred great demons, you are the only one who is still loyal to your lord, and it is not in vain that I worked hard to break your seal..."

The Blood Demon got up, he slowly waved his blood claws, and said:

"Strategist, when it comes to loyalty, my blood demon is less than one-ten-thousandth of yours... If it weren't for you, how would we be able to see the light of day again and serve the Lord again?... Chatter..."

The military advisor looked up to the sky and laughed, and the monstrous demon arrogance rolled out:

"Now that the human race is divided, it is a good opportunity for the lord to be reborn... The deity is bound to snow the shame of 10,000 years ago, and assist the lord to lead hundreds of millions of demon armies to level Kyushu!"

The Blood Demon stepped forward and said to the advisor:

"Now that the lord's heart has been reached, the rest must be out of the question, and it seems that the resurrection of the lord is only a matter of time... Chatter..."

"That's not true... The reason why you can obtain the blood of the 100,000 human race and the heart of the lord so easily is because of the slackness of the human race, and because the deity has been planning for a long time before... In the future, the Terrans will definitely be on guard and will not let us have another chance..."

The military advisor stared at the Blood Demon and said slowly.

"Chatter... What do we do next?" the Bloodfiend made a screeching sound as he rubbed his claws.

"Hehe... Now that I control the Demon Race, this is a force to be reckoned with, let them harass the Terran cultivators as much as possible, and we must focus on the other four polar regions... Blood Fiend, you may have to rely on our absolute strength in the future, you have to behave well..."

When the Blood Demon heard what the military advisor said, he immediately nodded and said respectfully:

"Strategist, don't worry, this time, if nothing else, the Heavenly Realm will not send reinforcements... Looking at Kyushu, the only ones who can fight with my blood demon are those scattered immortals... Chatter... When the lord recovers his true body and restores my strength, they will all be a piece of cake..."

The military advisor was noncommittal, and the white halo in his eyes fluctuated strongly:

"It's all in the deity's plan... Except for one person... However, maybe he has already joined our camp, haha..."

The laughter of the strategist echoed through the valley, disturbing several vultures, which flapped their huge wings and circled low in the air.

************* *******************

In the imperial capital, the emperor's study.

Ji Xuan was reviewing the test papers of yesterday's palace exam, and he used a pen stained with red ink to carefully circle each paper.

On his side, there was a tall civil official, this civil official had a smooth face and beard, an official hat on his head, and he looked to be in his fifties, but the muscles of his body propped up his clothes, and his eyes burst out from time to time with a dazzling cold light, which made people shudder.

"Tianfu, this Gongsheng named Lu Yansheng is very interesting, he actually satirized current affairs in the article, saying that I would put Guo Xi in prison indiscriminately... This man is very courageous, and the article is very well written, you can take a look..."

Ji Xuan handed a test paper to the civil official, and he took it with sincere trepidation and carefully reviewed it.

At first, the civil official obviously didn't take this Gongsheng's article in his eyes, showing a trace of disdain, but gradually, his eyes widened, and his hands holding the test paper were trembling:

"It's... It's a big rebellion... How can a wise man guard and steal from himself, and the Sacred Heart should be discerning... This is obviously an insinuation that His Majesty is too reckless in trying Guo Xi's case, this Lu Yansheng is so bold, according to the minister, this person must be Guo Xi's comrade..."

Ji Xuan seemed to have expected the civil official to say this, he stroked his beard with a smile, shook his head and said:

"Tianfu, as the prime minister, you should be cautious when you speak... Lu Yansheng is right, Guo Xi's case is still full of suspicions... I had already ordered him to be executed in ten days, and I was worried that I had no reason to retract my will, but this article came at the right time... Well... Yue Tianfu took the order..."

Yue Tianfu heard that His Majesty was going to pass on the oracle in person, so he hurriedly put down the test paper in his hand, walked down the steps, faced Ji Xuan, and knelt down:

"Minister, Yue Tianfu, take the order..."

Ji Xuan * solemn, he looked at Yue Tianfu in the audience, and said:

"I think there is still something strange about Guo Xi's case of leaking exam questions, and you passed on my message to move Guo Xi out of death row and escort him back to Dali Temple for retrial..."

Although Yue Tianfu looked surprised, he still bowed his hand:

"The Lord's Decree..."

Ji Xuan nodded and said to Yue Tianfu:

"Aiqing, let's get flat..."

Yue Tianfu got up, and he said puzzledly:

"Your Majesty, that Guo Xi has been put on death row, and if you do this, I'm afraid it will cause discussion among the government and the opposition..."

"Of course I know... Tiansuke, you and I grew up together, don't you know my thoughts?"

Yue Tianfu frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized:

"Your Majesty put that Guo Xi on death row to make him clear who can really control the life and death of his courtiers..."

"That's right..."Ji Xuan interrupted him, and continued, "Guo Xi's promotion is too fast, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people, I did this, firstly, to cover everyone's mouths, and secondly, to temper his heart... Good jade is rare, that Guo Xishang is still young, and he will definitely be able to assist me in two generations of Ji clan..."

Yue Tianfu figured out Ji Xuan's thoughts, and his heart was also a big stone on the ground, he bowed his hand again, and said:

"The minister will list Lu Yansheng's test paper as a model text, so that everyone in the world will know that His Majesty's magnanimity..."

Ji Xuan smiled with satisfaction, this Yue Tianfu is worthy of playing with him until he is big and small, and his mind is clear.

After Yue Tianfu finished speaking, as if there was one more thing in his heart, he frowned lightly, and stopped talking.

Ji Xuan squinted at him, obviously sensing something, and waved his hand at him:

"Tianfu, if you have anything else to say, hurry up..."

Yue Tianfu got Ji Xuan's consent and finally said it:

"Your Majesty... The tragedy of Jiuzhen City, the Xuanwu faction in Yangzhou insisted that it was done by the Scattered Immortal Motong... They collectively presented a recital, asking His Majesty to immediately issue an order to punish immortals and kill the ink pupils of Qiyun Mountain, according to you..."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan closed his eyes, thought for a moment, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said to Yue Tianfu:

"As soon as this immortal order comes out, all scattered immortals can kill Mo Tong and improve their ranking, I remember that Mo Tong's strength is still in the top five, this Xuanwu faction seems to want to revenge the old and new grudges together... Anyway, I have approved it, and the name of the ink pupil will be engraved on the Zhuxian Order..."

Yue Tianfu's body trembled, his ink pupils were immortal, and his strength was outstanding, but so what? These Kyushu are all under the control of the Ji clan, as long as his ink pupils have not yet soared, they are also under his control.

"The minister took the order..."Yue Tianfu said.

Ji Xuan looked at Yue Tianfu, who was noisy at this time, and didn't know what to think in his heart, the sacred heart was unpredictable, but the emperor's words were enough to shock Kyushu.

"In addition, the rich side of Yangzhou should also add a little tax..."Ji Xuan added.

Yue Tianfu nodded, and immediately understood.
