Chapter 13: Dong Xin and Chu Qi

On the other side, Ye Qing and the others finally rescued the three people before the Four Purple Heavenly Prison contracted to the City Lord's Mansion, but one of their arms was gone. The current state of the three people seems to be very depressed, could it be that they were frightened by the Four Purple Heavenly Prisons?

Shouldn't it...... Ye Qing thought.

At this moment, the scope of the Four Purple Heavenly Prisons is still shrinking, and everyone is chased by the boundary of the Four Purple Heavenly Prisons and returned to the place just now, and at this moment, only Chu Qi is left standing there, and there is a light gate open next to her, and the light gate is distorted and unable to see the situation.

"What about Ouyang Ce?" Ye Qing looked around, only to find that Ouyang Ce had disappeared.

"I've just opened up this passage to the outside of the city, so come in with me. After speaking, Chu Qi took the lead and did not step in, and the rest of the people followed.

Although Ye Qing had too many questions in his heart at this time, he could only go to a safe place first.

The exit of the light gate is halfway up the Fengming Mountain outside Lingping. At this time, night had fallen, and from the outside of the city, this Ling Ping was nothing abnormal except for the wide opening of the city gates, making it impossible to associate Ling Ping with a dead city at all.

"Don't stand stupid, you guys. Chu Qi dropped a sentence and then went into a cave covered with weeds.

After everyone entered the cave, Chu Qi glanced at the three people who were almost paralyzed who were caught by Ye Qing, and his fingers touched the foreheads of the three of them, and the three of them lost their strength and collapsed.

"It's better not to let them hear about the rest of the matter. Chu Qi said and took out a piece of thumb-sized jade from his pocket and pinched it in his hand, and then her body disappeared.

......

It didn't take long for Chu Qi to appear again, and at this time, she had already changed into a light gauze dress, coupled with her appearance and the temperament of the high priest, it was like a fairy descending to earth.

"I'm sorry, this dress is so ugly. Chu Qi said, found a stone and sat down, "If you want to know anything, ask." ”

Was it just for a change of clothes......

"It's too troublesome to ask one by one, you can tell us directly what you found after you came to Lingping. Ye Qing said.

"Oh?" Chu Qi glanced at Ye Qing and said, "Then I'll start from the beginning." ”

It turned out that three days before Ye Qing and the others left for the imperial capital, Chu Qi divined at home and calculated that there would be a catastrophe in Lingping City, but she couldn't calculate what the catastrophe was. She could only calculate that the purpose of this trip was to find the traces of Wu'an Hou Ye Feng, who had been missing for many days in Ling Ping.

Chu Qi knew what had happened between Ye Feng and Ye Qing, and originally thought that if he came forward to dissuade him, he would definitely be able to keep Ye Qing in Lingping, if Ye Qing was unwilling to go, it would be much easier for him to enter the palace to persuade the emperor to cancel this mission. But what she never expected was that she couldn't persuade Ye Qing at all.

So with suspicion, Chu Qi came to Lingping one step ahead of Ye Qing and his party, and on the night of their arrival, there was a strange movement on Fengming Mountain outside the city, and Chu Qi quietly went beyond the source of the abnormality.

Eventually, she came to a group of graveyards at the top of the mountain. And somewhere in that cemetery, a group of people in armor were digging something, and if you looked closely, the armor of those people was engraved with the pattern of the City Lord's Mansion, which should be Ouyang Ce's people.

Chu Qi didn't make a sound at that time, she just lurked quietly. It didn't take long for the group to dig out a passage, and after a while after the group entered, they dragged out something that looked like a corpse, and after they took the corpse out, they didn't clean up the mess and hurried away with the corpse.

After they left, Chu Qi lay in ambush in place for a long time, and no one reappeared, and only then did he come out to see if he could find any clues. But as soon as she showed her head, her neck almost flew out, it was Ouyang Ce's sword!

It turned out that Ouyang Ce had already found out that someone was here, so he didn't come forward, and he didn't make a move until Chu Qi couldn't hold his breath and wanted to come out, Chu Qi ran away as soon as he saw that he was exposed, and it took about an hour to get Ouyang Ce away.

After that, the coffin was watched all day, and Chu Qi never found a chance to get close. According to Chu Qi, it wasn't until Ye Qing and the others arrived at the foot of Fengming Mountain that those people began to withdraw one after another, leaving only a few people to guard.

The next day, Ling Ping began martial law. However, this was not a trouble for Chu Qi, she relied on her piece of jade that could be invisible to sneak into the city smoothly. After entering the city, Chu Qi began to keep a close eye on the City Lord's Mansion, she firmly believed that the secrets must be hidden in the City Lord's Mansion, but the defense of the City Lord's Mansion was not leaky, and she wanted to sneak in several times, but she would always 'justly' meet Ouyang Ce.

And just like that, the whole day passed. That night, a familiar aura came to Ling Ping. This person is Dong Xin.

However, Dong Xin did not go to the City Lord's Mansion, but entered an inn, and that inn was the inn where the Four Purple Heavenly Prisons broke out at that time. Dong Xin seemed to be arranging some kind of magic circle in the inn, but he suppressed the fluctuation of mana very low, and he couldn't detect what kind of magic circle he was arranging.

Chu Qi did not venture forward, and was still lurking in the shadows. She vaguely felt that Ouyang Ce was planning some kind of conspiracy.

Until late at night, Ye Qing and the three of them entered the city, although it was late at night, but the city guards heard that Ye Qing didn't even interrogate them and let them into the city. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Ouyang Ce went out to find Ye Qing that Chu Qi's opportunity finally appeared.

She sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion, and finally found the corpse in a secret door in Ouyang Ce's study, the corpse had grown some corpse spots, the clothes on the body were torn in many places, and there were many scars on the body, but they were all skin injuries, like they were left from a fight with the thugs, not only that, but his hair was also messy and unkempt.

Chu Qi stretched out his hand to brush away the corpse's hair, wanting to confirm its identity. But when she really saw that face, the whole person was stunned.

That face turned out to be Wu'an Hou Ye Feng!

"Ye Feng is dead?" Ye Qingyi asked with a frown.

Ye Qing's words made Chu Qi frown, but Chu Qi didn't say anything.

"I can only say that that face is exactly the same as Wu Anhou, Wu Anhou's strength is known to everyone in the entire empire, if he fights with others, it is impossible to leave such scars, some skin injuries of fists and feet, and the person who can win and kill Wu Anhou, does it really exist?" Chu Qi said.

Ye Qing was silent. Chu Qi continued.

After the shock, Chu Qi quickly calmed down, she needed to figure out the cause of this person's death, which was very likely to tell herself what happened before he died, and the reason why it would be dug up.

But no matter how Chu Qi checked, he couldn't determine the cause of death of this corpse, although its body was full of wounds, but there was not a single fatal injury, not even a single internal organ that could be injured, the corpse was intact, there was not a single part missing, any possible way to die, suffocation, poisoning, etc., etc......

Neither.

"The body feels like a ...... It's as if the soul has been pulled out directly, leaving a hollow body and dying. ”

Chu Qi's voice trembled a little when he spoke.

She was the high priest of the imperial court and was in charge of various worship activities, but no one knew that she was a high priest who did not believe in the existence of gods and spirits at all, which was one of the reasons for her later resignation.

Anyway, she couldn't find any explanation for the corpse other than that.

Later, when Chu Qi wanted to continue the investigation, Ouyang Ce returned to the city, Chu Qi didn't dare to be careless, so he quietly withdrew from the city lord's mansion for the sake of insurance, and secretly followed behind Ouyang Ce and Ye Qing and his party.

Chu Qi also witnessed the outbreak of the Four Purple Heavenly Prisons, and soon after Ye Qing and his party went to the underground passage, Ouyang Ce returned there, and Dong Xin also appeared there.

Because he also knew Dong Xin's strength very well, Chu Qi didn't dare to get too close, but he didn't know what the two of them were talking about from a distance, but the two of them met but separated without saying a few words, so they could only judge that the two of them should know each other.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Qi would never have believed that Dong Xin would have anything to do with this Ouyang Ce.

Dong Xin is an orphan, when he was about to starve to death when he was a child, he happened to be picked up by Chu Qi's master and apprentice who were wandering, Chu Qi's master took pity on Dong Xin and took Dong Xin back to teach him to practice martial arts, read and write, and art of war, but Dong Xin was also a genius, it only took five years, that is, he was already a teacher when he was seventeen years old, and then he went out alone to practice, and at that time Chu Qi was twenty years old, and he was already a court priest in the imperial capital.

After that, another five years passed, Chu Qi was promoted to high priest, and she didn't go back to visit the master much in the past five years, so on the one hand, she went back to report the good news to the master, and on the other hand, she happened to go back to visit the master, but who knew that when she went back, she happened to see Dong Xin standing in front of the master, and his hand was submerged in the master's chest.

I can't detect Master's breath at all, Master is dead.

Master's expression was very calm. There is no pain, no doubts, not even saying anything.

But Master died.

"It's a coincidence that you saw it. Masters. Dong Xin withdrew his hand and said with a smile on his face.

Chu Qi will never forget that day, she tried her best to attack Dong Xin, but Dong Xin didn't even look at her once.

In the end, Dong Xin still left, this junior brother's strength has far surpassed his own senior sister since at some point, Dong Xin wants to leave, Chu Qi can't stop it, even if Dong Xin wants to kill her, he must not be able to resist it......

After returning to the imperial capital, Chu Qi resigned from his position as high priest and began to investigate Dong Xin's whereabouts. Speaking of this, Chu Qi was a little hesitant in his words.

"What did you investigate?" Ye Qing asked.

"I won't go into detail about the process of the investigation, in short, I found out that Dong Xin is very close to a mysterious organization during this time, and the energy of this organization is very strong, and it can even affect some decisions in the imperial capital. ”

"You said you were walking close...... That is, you are not sure whether Dong Xin has joined that organization, right?" Ye Qing suddenly asked, his subconscious feeling that this would be a very important clue.

"Dong Xin has always been like this, looking down on anyone, so he, not so much to join, I think it's more like cooperation and use. ”

"Do you have any clues about Dong Xin's purpose?" Ye Qing said.

"I don't have a clue. Chu Qi said, "I have told you all the useful information, and there is one more thing that Ouyang Ce told me after you left." ”

"A month from now, on the 23rd of the next month, they will destroy the imperial capital. ”
