Chapter 1654: Temptation and Provocation
"What was that just now? Was someone looking back to the past?"
"Oh my God, those princes were really poisoned by the sacred tree Longchang?"
"It's very possible. I still remember when the princes died, some people speculated that the person who really did it was Holy Tree Longchang. After all, he was the only one among the princes to survive. He is the biggest beneficiary."
"But at that time, after the late emperor sent people to investigate, he personally announced to the world that it was not the Holy Tree Longchang who had done it, and the matter was settled."
"But now it seems that all of us have been deceived by the late emperor. He maintained the sacred tree Longchang in order not to pass the throne to other royal families."
"But why did Holy Tree Longchang poison the other princes? Isn't this causing trouble for himself?"
"Why, you can't understand? Do you still remember the rumors that the Holy Tree Longchang cannot be humane?"
"Hey, I'm more and more sure now that it's true that he can't be humane."
"The Holy Tree Longchang was still the crown prince at that time. If it is true that he was inhumane, he would have been worried that the late emperor would dethrone him from his position as crown prince."
"After all, when given a choice, no emperor would choose to inherit the throne under the thin pretense of an heir."
"This is the motivation behind the Holy Tree Longchang."
"He poisoned the other princes just so that the late emperor had no choice. Even if he was no longer humane, the late emperor could only pass the throne to him."
"He is really vicious. He actually killed all his brothers for the sake of the throne. It is not a blessing for the country that such a person becomes the king of a country!"
All over Holy Tree City.
Powerful person!
Official!
Common people!
Everyone was talking about it.
Over the Royal Palace.
The holy tree Longchang, who possesses the cultivation level of quasi-god, can easily hear all the discussions of people in the entire city.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Who is it? Who is going against me and looking back on the past?"
"I am the Emperor of the Holy Tree and the legitimate emperor of the Holy Tree Fairy Kingdom. Do you think that looking back on the past can remove me from the throne?"
"Daydreaming!"
"Someone is coming!"
"I'm here!" A group of forbidden troops immediately promised on the ground.
Holy Tree Longchang snorted coldly: "The image just now is not a look back at the past at all, but an illusion created by someone using magic to try to disrupt the imperial court."
"Send me an order to all ministries to severely crack down on anyone who dares to spread rumors."
"Also, at all costs, catch the person who created the illusion for me. This person has evil intentions and is trying to subvert the imperial court. If caught, he will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
The Imperial Guards agreed and left one after another to deliver the order.
But when they turned their backs to the Holy Tree Longchang, deep suspicion flashed in the eyes of the Imperial Guards.
Apparently, even this group of the most loyal Imperial Guards had begun to doubt whether those princes really died at the hands of the Holy Tree Longchang.
Outside the Holy Tree City, in the mountains and forests.
The surging magic power in Ruan Bikong gradually subsided.
She handed a magic light jade slip to Shi Xuanji: "I have engraved the past I just recalled into this jade slip. Please take it."
"Thank you, Sister Ruan!"
Shi Xuanji took the magic light jade slip and said, "Sister, do you want me to improve your chances of adventure again?"
Ruan Bikong shook his head: "No need for today, next time. I also took the time to find you this time, and I have to rush to other places later."
Her current achievements are largely due to Shi Xuanji's help in improving her opportunities, which allowed her to gain many adventures.
She was also very grateful to Shi Xuanji, so as soon as she received Shi Xuanji's message this time, she put down what she was doing and hurried over to help.
Ruan Bikong said: "Sister Xuanji, this Holy Tree City can be said to be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the Holy Tree Longchang is not easy to deal with. You must be careful if you stay here alone. Whenever you need help, send a message to sister at any time."
Shi Xuanji nodded lightly: "Don't worry, sister, I will be careful. I have been lurking in the Prince's Mansion for many years. I know the Holy Tree Longchang quite well and will not let him hurt me."
"No one can say that they completely understand another person. The person you think you know may one day do something beyond your expectations. In short, you must be careful."
Ruan Bikong ordered.
The two chatted for a while, Ruan Bikong said goodbye and left, and Shi Xuanji also returned to the palace.
Above the endless sea of clouds, Ruan Bikong walked on the clouds, and after a while he was far away from the Holy Tree City.
Suddenly, Ruan Bikong's expression changed. He stopped his clouds and looked around in confusion. He saw the sea of clouds rolling around, but there was nothing unusual about it.
"Strange, why do I feel like I'm being watched? Could it be that someone is ambushing nearby and wants to attack me?"
"It shouldn't be. No one knows about my coming to the Eastern Divine Land. Even those close to me don't know what I want to do when I come to the Eastern Divine Land. How could someone ambush me?"
"Or is this person coming from Holy Tree City?"
"Could it be that when sister Xuanji came to see me, she was already being followed by people from the Holy Tree Longchang?"
"That's not right. When I met Sister Xuanji before, I didn't notice any danger in her cause and effect. She shouldn't be in crisis for the time being."
"Then who is this person spying on me? Is my feeling wrong, or..."
Ruan Bikong pursed his lips and secretly mobilized the law of cause and effect to see if his own cause and effect was involved with a stranger at this moment?
At the same time, Zhao Mu, who was in the void outside the world, was greatly surprised.
According to past experience, when he hid in the void outside the world, almost no one in the world could detect his peeping, not even the master.
But he never expected that he would be broken by Ruan Bikong today.
It seems that Ruan Bikong's attainments in the way of cause and effect are really higher than expected.
"Is this woman so talented in the way of cause and effect?"
Zhao Mu thought to himself.
At this time, Ruan Bikong outside the void suddenly said: "You have been peeping at me for so long, but are you interested in me?"
"If you really like me, you might as well show up. If I don't hate you, maybe I can satisfy you."
"But you always hide in the dark like this. Even if I want to devote myself, you can't just watch and touch me, right?"
Zhao Mu shook his head with a smile.
Is this a provocation?
Want to provoke the person who is peeping in the dark to show up?
But this woman's provocation is really special.
Others used scolding, but she directly tempted, even offering herself!
"If I show up now, will it be considered that I can't resist the temptation?"
Zhao Mu looked strange.
He did plan to go out, not because he couldn't resist Ruan Bikong's temptation, but because he was very interested in this woman's cause and effect.
Although there are countless geniuses in the world today, there are not many people who have profound attainments in the cause and effect.
What's more, this woman's cause and effect is so profound that he can be faintly detected even if he is in the void outside the world.
If such attainments can be cultivated well, it will surely become a great help to himself in the future.
