Chapter 81: A Fruitful Harvest
Huai'an died after all.
When he handed the flag in his hand to Xia Sheng, he swallowed his last breath.
A generation of Sword Venerables has fallen.
Until the last moment of his life, the sword in his hand did not shine.
From a certain point of view, Huai'an, as a powerhouse in the Martial Venerable Realm, as one of the three giants of the Adjudication Division, is undoubtedly a bit of a wretched death.
But Xia Sheng didn't feel any regrets, and he didn't feel the slightest sigh in his heart, because he had seen too many things in his previous lives.
It's just that until now, he doesn't quite understand why Huai'an trusts him so much.
In terms of identity, it is Shantang's people who want to hunt down Pingnanhou now, but Xia Sheng is a guest of Shantang, and Huai An should have natural hostility towards him.
In terms of strength, Xia Sheng had just broken through the realm of military generals, and except for Ning Zheng and Ping Nanhou, the strength of the rest of the people present was above him.
Why did Huai'an choose Xia Sheng?
The only explanation is that Huai'an has no other choice.
In the current situation, he can only use Xia Sheng's power to help him eradicate Mo Lin and Cheng Liran, the two major rebellions, although Brother Jing's strength is not good, but his brain is not bright enough, one is not good, it is easy to do bad things.
What's more, Huai'an needs Brother Jing to protect Pingnanhou closely.
Therefore, Xia Sheng was fortunate to be the first and only person who learned that Huai'an was in poor health and his strength was greatly damaged, so Huai'an and Xia Sheng teamed up to set up this bureau, hoping to deal with the internal affairs of the adjudication department without alarming Ping Nanhou.
It's a pity that although Huai'an won, he didn't survive to the end.
Although the matter has been solved now, what is left for Xia Sheng is a mess, and every step he takes next needs to be cautious.
As Cheng Liran expected, as the last survivor of this fight, Xia Sheng suddenly fell into a dilemma.
If he told Brother Jing and Ping Nanhou all this, would the other party believe his words?
Theoretically speaking, now Xia Sheng is the biggest suspect in the murder of Huai'an, Cheng Liran and Mo Lin!
Would the Adjudicator let him go so easily?
But if he didn't say anything, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?
Even with the ability of the Adjudication Division, the truth will definitely be investigated in the end, but as long as the truth is not revealed for a day, Xia Sheng's life will definitely not be easy!
But anyone who is arrested by the adjudication department and put in a black prison, even if he can get out alive, where is he still a normal person?
In the end, he was either physically crippled, incomplete, or mentally collapsed, and completely became a madman.
Thinking of this, Xia Sheng moved his gaze to the flag in his hand again, and he seemed to finally understand the meaning of Huai'an's last move.
He didn't want to give this thing to Xia Sheng as a bequest.
Instead, he wanted to use this flag to prove Xia Sheng's innocence.
Regardless of what this flag is used for and how valuable it is, it is at least a symbol of Huai'an's status as the flag bearer of the Adjudication Division, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure of the Adjudication Division!
And since the moment he got this black flag, Xia Sheng knew that this was not an ordinary object, but a spiritual object, although there was no half wisp of spiritual energy leaking out on it, but it was definitely not of low grade!
But the problem is, Huai'an is obviously a sword venerable, where did he get the spirit aperture to accommodate this spirit flag?
Unless......
Huai'an is a double cultivation of Lingwu!
For Xia Sheng, it was a very simple matter to determine whether Huai'an was a Lingwu dual cultivator, however, when he really put his palm between Huai'an's chest and abdomen, he couldn't help frowning.
Huai'an is indeed a dual cultivation of spiritual and martial arts.
But compared to his achievements in the way of the sword, the aura in his body was really pitiful, and he had not even broken through the spirit master realm!
And it's no wonder.
It's no wonder that from beginning to end, Huai'an has never shown his strength in spiritual path.
But in this way, could it be that this little black flag is just a scholar-level spiritual object?
Well, maybe the symbolic meaning of this object is greater than its actual meaning, but in any case, if this object was not Huai'an's will, Xia Sheng would never have gotten it.
Just like the three emperor spirits in Cheng Liran's body, the Northern Stygian Cold Scorpion, the Two-Headed Stone Python, and the Purple Bone Bee, after Cheng Liran's death, they will also die with it, and eventually die out in the world.
If Xia Sheng returned this flag to the adjudication division, he might really be able to convince what he said.
But the problem is that Xia Sheng has never been a person who entrusts his fate in the hands of others.
In contrast, he prefers to believe in himself.
He didn't want to bet on whether the people in the Adjudication Division would believe his words, and he didn't want to turn today's events into a hanging sword that would always pose a mortal threat to himself.
Just like the black flag in his hand at this time, although there is no half of a streamer on it, although it has been confirmed that Huai'an's realm in the spiritual path is quite low, Xia Sheng still believes in his vision.
He firmly believes that this black flag must be a supreme spiritual treasure!
So in the next moment, under Meng Qi's shocked gaze, Xia Sheng personally sent the black flag in his palm into his spiritual aperture!
Boom!
Xia Sheng's spiritual space seemed to have a big earthquake, and the small golden building that was originally located next to the Poor Sang Hall suddenly began to tremble rapidly, and the bricks and stones rang together, and then, the golden wall gradually peeled off, and pieces of black gas flowed in it, and from a distance, it looked like a bucket of ink was poured on the gold bricks.
The ink color soon invaded the entire golden building, completely dyeing it into a dark and dull pavilion, the original meaning of wealth and nobility was gone, and in its place, it was a forest that made people's hearts chill!
Immediately afterward, a black flag broke through the roof and spread in the wind.
It's like a black sun, shining wantonly on the whole world, and even the poor mulberry hall on the side is shrouded in a layer of black shadows, which looks a little cold.
This also means that in the same spiritual space, the poor mulberry, who is the tree of life, has been completely suppressed by the black flag!
At this moment, Xia Sheng was already completely sure that he was right.
This black spirit flag is by no means as simple as it seems!
At the same time, Xia Sheng finally knew its name.
Evil!
The process of melting the soul seemed to be unusually smooth, there was no accident, and Xia Sheng did not encounter the slightest resistance from the Immortal Banner, which couldn't help but make Xia Sheng a little surprised.
But no matter what, at this point, Xia Sheng finally has a second master spirit in his body, and next, he only needs to seek another general-level spirit beast before he can officially enter the spirit general realm!
At the same time, Xia Sheng has already calculated about the current predicament.
Since he wanted to make it impossible for the people of the Adjudication Division to suspect him without handing over the Grim Flag, there were only two ways left.
Either blame others for today's events, or kill the remaining Jing Ge and Pingnanhou!
Of course, before this, Xia Sheng still had one more thing to do, he now only had the last poison left in his body, as well as half a bottle of Tiannanlu, if it was under normal circumstances, without the help of Yaori Baiquan, it would be difficult for him to find suitable materials to configure new medicines.
But in front of him, there were the corpses of three emperor-level poisonous beasts for him to take......
