Chapter 1518

Qing Jiu Ban Hu
Underworld City, outside the Imperial Palace.
Because of the appearance of the empress, the originally noisy scene instantly became quiet, and all the ghost soldiers knelt on the ground without daring to breathe.
The empress stared at Lin Jichen with angry eyes and said in a cold tone: "What do you mean?"
Lin Jichen lowered his head and glanced at the key to the underworld in his hand, and immediately guessed that the other party might have misunderstood and was about to explain.
Unexpectedly, the remaining ghost cultivator took the lead and knelt down and cried: "Sir! This ghost sneaked into the imperial palace and stole the key to the underworld spring. My brother and I found out in time and wanted to intercept him, but unexpectedly my brother was killed by him. Please Sir, please bring justice to my brother!"
Lin Jichen didn't expect this guy to be so shameless, confusing right and wrong in front of his face.
"Lin Jichen, you are so brave. Not only did you steal the treasure of my ghost world, but you also killed my important ministers! Do you really think that my ghost world is a place where you can act as you please?"
The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, and the evidence is conclusive. It’s no wonder that the empress believed it.
Seeing the other party's angry eyes, Lin Jichen was speechless and said angrily: "I was wronged!"
"You say you are unjustly accused? Then provide evidence." the empress asked.
Lin Jichen pointed at You Lian and said, "She was controlled by Ying Gou's men. You can tell at a glance!"
The empress turned her head suspiciously, looked at You Lian, and poured a burst of magic power into her body. Soon, You Lian spat out a mouthful of black water, then collapsed to the ground and passed out.
"Soothing water?"
The empress frowned, seeming to have thought of something, which made her even more angry.
She glared at Lin Jichen and shouted, "How do you explain?"
"How do you explain it?" Lin Jichen wondered.
The empress said in a cold tone: "The soul-suppressing water is a thing in the soul-suppressing tower. Only you and Chu Xinqin can get it. Back then, one of you worked as Mrs. Meng in the soul-suppressing tower, and the other drank a lot of soul-suppressing water. Now that the soul-soothing water appears in You Lian's body, isn't it your fault?"
At this time, the Minister of Ghost Cultivator who had just complained immediately agreed: "Yes! It must have been done by him, Lady Empress. He must have used the soul-suppressing water to control Lady You and ordered her to steal the key to the Underworld Spring. He also deliberately attacked the Emperor." Palace, trying to cover up Master You, must be like this!"
When the empress heard this, she also felt that this was a great possibility.
She knew that Lin Jichen had a lot of soul-soothing water in his body, and the key to the Underworld Spring was in Lin Jichen's hand, and her minister was dead.
What's more, she had already wiped out all of Yinggou's men, but Lin Jichen passed the blame to Yinggou. This was simply nonsense.
All the above made the empress completely conclude that Lin Jichen did it.
Lin Jichen felt aggrieved at this time. This was the first time in his life that he had been wronged like this. This was really even worse than Dou E.
However, he did not lose his mind. Instead, he silently walked towards You Lian, hoping to wake him up to testify against him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, a soul whip swept over him, shining like fire and terrifying in power.
Lin Jichen was forced to retreat.
The empress sneered: "Do you still want to kill people and silence them?"
"Are you fucking sick?" Lin Jichen couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.
The empress' eyes flashed, and her soul whip rolled up, wrapping directly around Lin Jichen's neck and lifting him into the air.
Lin Jichen felt a suffocating suppression, and he had no power to resist.
Even though he has now achieved enlightenment, he is still completely inadequate in front of such powerful people.
The empress spoke in a stern tone: "You stole my treasure from the ghost world, killed my minister from the ghost world, and you dared to speak so brazenly. Do you think I don't dare to kill you because Leng Feiyan is backing you?"
It could be heard that the empress was really angry at this time.
She is an aloof and domineering person, and she never hesitates about things she believes in or decides by herself.
And since she was interrupted at a critical moment in seclusion and her mind was affected, just when she had nowhere to vent her anger, Lin Jichen was on the receiving end of a gun.
Lin Jichen finally understood. At this time, even if he explained, it was useless. The evidence was conclusive, and he seemed to have taken the blame.
After thinking about this, Lin Jichen simply remained silent.
Seeing his attitude, the empress became even more angry. She tightened her soul whip tighter, as if she could kill Lin Jichen at any time.
"This emperor is asking you now, do you know your mistake?"
Lin Jichen looked at her calmly and said, "You want me to admit my mistake and beg for mercy?"
"Shouldn't it be right?" the empress asked.
Lin Jichen smiled, glanced contemptuously, and said: "Kill if you want. Don't talk nonsense to me. It's impossible for me to admit my mistakes and beg for mercy!"
The empress was completely furious when she heard this. She was about to kill, but something in her body seemed to be trying to stop her.
She suppressed her emotions and tried to calm down, so she didn't kill her.
After a long time, she suddenly let go of Lin Jichen and sneered.
"Okay, humans are indeed despicable people!"
The empress said with a gloomy face, and looked at Lin Jichen and said: "Because you helped me seize the throne, I will let you go, but from now on, we will not owe each other anything."
After that, she threw out a piece of soul jade and said: "This is the soul that you dragged this emperor to keep for you. Take it and get lost. I don't want to see you again!"
There was determination in the empress's tone, and she seemed to be completely disappointed with the man in front of her.
Lin Jichen took a deep breath, silently took the soul jade, threw the key to the underworld spring back, and said expressionlessly: "I don't want to see you again, so let's just say goodbye."
After speaking, he turned and left without any hesitation.
Watching his leaving figure, the empress felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. An indescribable emotion filled her heart, and a faint mist appeared in her eyes at some point.
Recalling when she regained her memory, her relationship with Lin Jichen was incompatible.
But after a series of events, she could feel that Lin Jichen's attitude towards her was slowly changing, and the relationship between the two seemed to be slowly getting better.
And she also began to hate him for tricking her amnesiac self into becoming a ghost servant at first, but later her impression of Lin Jichen gradually improved.
Originally everything was developing in a good direction.
However, from this moment on, the empress understood that the relationship that had been repaired so hard had returned to before liberation, and was even worse than before.
She could even predict that she might never have contact with Lin Jichen again.
But she felt that she was not wrong. Lin Jichen did such an outrageous thing and not only did not apologize but also spoke plausibly. This was undoubtedly a challenge to her dignity.
Even if she had to do it over ten thousand times, she would never regret this decision.
"It's his fault, it's his fault, it's his fault!"
The empress hypnotized herself silently, and she felt much better.
"Your Majesty, Empress, my brother died tragically. I really can't bear this breath. I hope you will make the decision for me and let me lead people to hunt down the murderer!"
At this time, the ghost cultivator knelt down and spoke, his face filled with grief and anger.
He didn't feel sorry for his brother, he clearly wanted to kill him and silence him, to completely prove Lin Jichen's guilt, and to die without any evidence.
