Chapter 1124
"【Netherworld Quadra Kill】has been activated!"
"But...but it was broken?"
Granny Shi, who was incredulous, stood there for a moment before speaking.
"impossible!"
"Looking across the entire world, who can open the [Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation]?"
“This formation has suppressed celestial beings.”
As he shouted these words, Shi Qing rushed anxiously into the underground palace.
Looking at the lit lamps, at the empty space inside the underground palace, and at the Jin Kui and the corpses of the demon lying haphazardly on the ground...
Not to mention Shi Qing, even Zhu Wuji, the Prince of Shu, who was dragged into this by Granny Shi and the others, felt as if his house had been robbed.
"Where are my gold and silver jewels?"
"Where are my martial arts manuals?"
"Where are my elixirs and rare medicinal herbs?"
Unable to accept this in a short time, Shi Qing questioned him hysterically.
These are the rare treasures she amassed over the years by humbling herself to marry the King of Shu.
Is it all gone now?
'Clap. '
Just then, from the light-filled inner chamber of the underground palace, came the soft sound of a scroll falling to the ground.
"Ok?"
"Are there other people inside the underground palace?"
"Those who didn't leave?"
As he said this, Shi Qing, furious, led several of his men and hurriedly went over.
As soon as they reached the entrance to the inner hall, they saw a young man dressed in a crimson python robe and wearing a standard noble gauze hat, who, by candlelight, was looking through the most confidential files of Shu County as if no one else was there.
Sensing someone's arrival, he slowly raised his head.
He merely glanced at Shi Qing, who was dozens of meters away, before looking down at the dossier in his hand as if it were nothing.
With a slight upturn of his lips, he said, "The Red Miao of Coffin Mountain have been playing a grand game in Shu County and even the Ming Dynasty all these years."
"The late emperor was foolish!"
Upon seeing the man's face, Shi Qing was completely dumbfounded and stood there speechless.
Not only her, but even Zhu Wuji and Granny Shi, who had met her before, almost had their eyes pop out of their sockets.
Now, as he broke the brief silence, Shi Qing, Zhu Wuji, and the others called out each other's names in unison.
"Xu Shan?"
"How...how did you escape from the Miao territory?"
"Didn't Shunfeng and the Stone Great Witches leave you there?"
"Witch Ancestor, how can we allow you to continue causing trouble in Shu County?"
Faced with Shi Qing's three probing questions, Xu Shan, without even raising his head, replied with a smile while flipping through the pages of his book, "Escape? Why would I escape?"
"This imperial envoy has come to Shu on imperial orders to quell the rebellion and subdue the evil forces. Taking advantage of the opportunity to reclaim Shu Prefecture!"
"Whether it's Shunfeng or the Great Witch of Coffin Mountain, they are both on this Imperial Envoy's blacklist."
"If they don't die, wouldn't I, the imperial envoy, be failing the Emperor's grace?"
‘Gulu. ’
Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, everyone, including Shi Qing, Granny Shi, and Zhu Wuji, who had become nothing more than a mascot, couldn't help but swallow hard.
Anyone could tell that there was a lot of information behind his words.
Shunfeng, who had "fallen from Buddhahood to demonhood," was killed?
Was the Great Shaman of Coffin Mountain also slaughtered by him?
How could the reincarnated ancestor of witchcraft let him go?
Just as this question instantly arose in their minds, Xu Shan, who had put down the dossier in his hand, slowly raised his head and added: "As for the Coffin Mountain Ancestor you all long for—the surrendered minister..."
"He will never be able to reincarnate in this life, the next life, or the life after that."
"How dare you wreak havoc on the Shu region of the Ming Dynasty?"
"It is only right to annihilate their souls and destroy their spirits!"
'Clap. '
Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, Shi Qing, who had staggered back a large step, was quickly supported by Granny Shi behind her.
"No, it's impossible."
"The Ancestor of the Witches is omnipotent. No one can destroy his soul."
"you you……"
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just as Shi Qing finished speaking, Xu Shan casually tossed her soul tablet, which should have been placed in the underground cave of Coffin Mountain, in front of them.
When the soul tablet slammed heavily to the ground, echoing shrilly throughout the inner hall, everyone, including Shi Qing and Granny Shi, had their pupils dilate and their faces turn deathly pale.
"Soul, Soul Tablet?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is your soul tablet."
"It, it should have been offered as a sacrifice in the underground cave."
A Red Seedling expert, who followed closely behind, blurted out his name.
They knew better than anyone that the underground cave was the place where their ancestral witch ancestor 'slept'.
Now that he has awakened, this place is his own forbidden zone!
If no one agrees or nods in the same way, whoever goes in will die.
Not to mention, going inside to retrieve the soul tablet that belongs to their own princess.
But now?
It was just like that, casually tossed over by Xu Shan as if it were trash.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen...
First, Xu Shan forcibly broke into the underground cave, fought with his own ancestral witch, stole the soul tablets, and then escaped unscathed.
The second possibility is that the other party actually killed the Witch Ancestor and brazenly took these soul tablets for themselves.
Regardless of the scenario, it demonstrates that the other party possesses the strength and resources to rival, or even surpass, the Coffin Mountain Witch Group!
"According to Dongfang Bubai, the Red Miao people who have offered their own soul tablets can accurately determine from this broken tablet whether their own ancestor is still alive."
"I'll give you ten breaths to carefully examine it."
"Then, let's begin our next interrogation."
"Regarding what is described in the case file... I hope to receive a more systematic and detailed answer from you."
"In return, I will make your journey painless."
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, the loyal and protective Granny Shi immediately roared, "You scoundrel!"
"You, a mere imperial envoy, dare to speak to my princess like that?"
“Hey Xu, this isn’t your place to run wild.”
'Sizzle.'
"what……"
No sooner had Granny Shi finished speaking than a dark figure wearing a fanged mask slashed at her head with a knife.
The piercing scream came from behind him, from Zhu Wuji.
Because the old woman who had been controlling him was now a headless corpse.
Blood splattered like ink on his face and the faces of Shi Qing and the others beside him.
"Ok?"
As the shadowy figure drew his blade, Shi Qing, who was holding the soul tablet, and her subordinates instinctively prepared to defend themselves.
However, at this moment, they discovered that they were firmly bound by several powerful energies, unable to move.
Shi Qing stared wide-eyed at Xu Da Guanren, who was more than ten meters away from him, in disbelief.
She discovered that even though she immediately unleashed the power of witchcraft, she was unable to break free from the opponent's restraints.
more importantly……
When he tried to exert his own strength, he realized that he had completely lost contact with the soul tablet.
This indicates that they have also lost the protection of the ancestral shaman [Wu Jiang].
To put it more bluntly, the surrendered official, who was once hailed as omnipotent, has truly fallen, just as Xu Shan said!
