Chapter 450 Shangguan Ziqian is so powerful that even the empress is afraid of him!
Upon hearing this, Empress Shangguan Xiyue's expression changed subtly for a while before returning to her usual kindness, though she seemed a little surprised.
"When did cousin Ziqian arrive in the fairyland?
Why have I never heard my aunt mention it?"
"My mother never even told me!"
Speaking of this, Ouyang Huamian became angry:
"It was only recently that I accidentally overheard my father and mother arguing, and I learned that they had long known that my eldest brother had ascended to the immortal realm, and had not thought of welcoming him back to Baibaozhai.
If not for this, how could my elder brother be led astray by Chu You and those evil cultivators, and his whereabouts are unknown now!
Empress cousin, you must help my brother!"
"Even Auntie, don't you know where cousin Ziqian is?"
Although they had been fooled for half a month by following the Baibaozhai jade slip tracking ability, Shangguan Xiyue always felt that Baibaozhai seemed to be holding back.
But Ouyang Huamian shook his head, and then suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:
"I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a major personnel change at Baibaozhai. Many of my former subordinates left Baibaozhai one after another. My father seemed to be very upset about this for a while.
Now that I think about it, they all seemed to be my eldest brother’s close associates.
Empress cousin, do you think this is a coincidence, or is it…"
"Are all the subordinates who resigned from Baibaozhai once close associates of Ouyang Ziqian?"
Shangguan Xiyue suddenly thought of something and quickly ordered:
"Come here! Contact Baibaozhai immediately and have them provide information on all subordinates who have recently resigned. Send this information to the 'Immortal Alliance' and find these people and their relatives and friends as quickly as possible!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After the man retreated, Ouyang Huamian finally realized something:
"Cousin Empress, what are you doing?
You don't suspect that they have all surrendered to my eldest brother and helped him disrupt the spiritual messages of Baibaozhai, which is why all the major forces in the fairy world can't find my eldest brother and others, right?
If this is true, they must have been bewitched or coerced by Chu You and other evil cultivators, and it has nothing to do with their families. Why should their families be implicated?
"Hua Mian, I know you grew up in Baibaozhai since you were a child, and you are as close as brothers to cousin Ziqian's confidants.
But in times of crisis, I and the rulers of all forces in the immortal world have to take special measures.
If we allow the evil cultivators to continue their invasion, the entire fairy world will be in dire straits.
By then, more innocent immortals will die or become cauldrons for evil cultivators to cultivate!"
"But……"
Ouyang Huamian still felt that it was inappropriate to implicate innocent people and wanted to persuade them again, but the female official who had just been ordered to leave hurriedly returned with a look of panic:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all major factions have just received an urgent message from the 'Immortal Alliance', stating that half a month ago, the subordinates who recently resigned from Baibaozhai and their relatives and friends seemed to have collectively evaporated in the Immortal Realm, with no trace left.
Not only that, their jade slip tracking situation was the same as that of Chu You and others, broken into hundreds and thousands of pieces and scattered in every corner of the fairy world.
Do we need to continue investigating this?"
"Damn it! They were prepared for this!"
Shangguan Xiyue could no longer maintain her outwardly calm and composed appearance. Her originally pretty face was now shrouded in a haze, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
Who is it?
How could it be possible to demonstrate such strong appeal and efficient execution in such a short period of time?
After much thought, Shangguan Xiyue couldn't think of anyone else who had such ability except Ouyang Ziqian, whom she had always been wary of.
Looking back to the time when she first met Ouyang Ziqian, she keenly realized that this man was no ordinary person.
He is extremely intelligent and resourceful, almost to the point of being elusive and difficult to control, like a demon.
For Baibaozhai and the entire Ouyang family, Ouyang Ziqian is undoubtedly an outlier.
Shangguan Xiyue knew very well that if Ouyang Ziqian was allowed to continue, he would become a big problem in the future.
If she could take this person into her harem, she wouldn't be so afraid.
However, the Ouyang family was training him to be the next head of the family, so it was impossible for them to send him into the empress's harem.
Although Shangguan Xiyue felt it was a pity, she did not show any mercy.
So, she carefully planned and cleverly used various means to intensify the existing conflict between Ouyang Ziqian and the head of the Ouyang family.
In the end, he successfully forced Ouyang Ziqian to destroy his immortal bones on his own and leave the immortal world sadly.
At that moment, Shangguan Xiyue was secretly delighted, thinking that this big worry in her heart had been completely eliminated from then on.
However, what she never expected was that just a few years later, Ouyang Ziqian ascended to the fairyland again.
Moreover, this time when he returned, he was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Not only did he quickly regain control of the situation, but he also manipulated the major forces in the fairy world at his fingertips with ease.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiyue couldn't help but grit her teeth and cursed in her heart: "This abominable Ouyang Ziqian really deserves to die!"
When Ouyang Huamian heard the news, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he had to pretend to be frightened and angry:
“How could this be?
Could it be a mistake?!"
"Miss Hua Mian, if you don't believe me, just take a look at the news from the Jade Slip World. Baibaozhai is in dire straits right now because this group of people secretly stole a lot of Baibaozhai's resources!"
The female official held the jade slip and gestured to Ouyang Huamian to look at it.
Or even more shocked, but then he realized that it was not appropriate to stay in the palace at this time, and hurriedly said:
“Cousin Empress, such a big thing happened in Baibaozhai, it must have been a mess.
My parents have always had a bad relationship, so I have to go back and make sure they don’t quarrel!
If there is any news about my elder brother, you must tell me immediately, Cousin Empress!"
"and many more!"
Shangguan Xiyue suddenly called Ouyang Huamian. Although Ouyang Ziqian had a bad relationship with the head of the Ouyang family, he was very kind to his mother Shangguan Yan and his only sister Ouyang Huamian.
If Ouyang Huamian is tied up, I wonder if we can force Ouyang Ziqian to show up?
But if that were the case, it would mean a complete break with Shangguan Yan and Baibaozhai.
Although Lingyuan State is currently at the top in terms of strength, many of its industries are closely linked to Baibaozhai.
While hesitating, another female officer also rushed into the imperial study, looking even more panicked than the previous one:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!
The Immortal Alliance has received urgent news: someone has broken into the prison and rescued all the newly ascended immortals from the cultivation world!"
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the desk in front of Shangguan Xiyue shattered into pieces.
She was so furious that she didn't care that Ouyang Huamian had slipped away quietly. Instead, she quickly walked up to the female officer who came behind her, and spoke with anger in every word:
"What did you just say?!"
