Chapter 1642: The Culprit Again, the Emperor's Mind Scheme for a Hundred Years

"Yes, we have a child..."

Click!

Click!

As soon as these words came out, the space picture froze for a moment.

Xu Xiaoshou hid the photo bead without a trace, with only shock on his face, as if he had heard such a big gossip for the first time.

Dao Qiongcang was also extremely shocked, and raised his hands slightly, level with Xu Xiaoshou's belly, as if to prove to someone that he had no way to spare his hands to take a photo or leave a sound.

In fact, the two of them had talked about Ba Zun'an's child in Qingyuan Mountain overnight.

But the gossip of outsiders is not comparable to the personal admission of the parties involved.

Let alone anything else, if the video and the words just now were thrown to the Holy Spirit Continent, I don't know how big a wave it would cause.

I'm afraid that the five regions would be shocked, and then everyone would start the "finding children" activity in full swing.

Ba Zun'an's children of school age would probably pop up like mushrooms after rain.

"What's his name?"

"Is it one child, or twins, triplets, or even four babies?"

Xu Dao and the others were a little excited, asking questions alternately, chattering non-stop:

"Boy or girl?"

"Is it certain that it was born? Is it still... alive?"

"He should have a good talent for swordsmanship, how old is he this year?"

"Xiao Kongtong?"

"Too old, he already has a big mouth, he should be about 30 years old, just like a wolf and a tiger..."

"Liu Fuyu?"

The two of them were getting more and more outrageous, and they had all kinds of ideas, but unfortunately they didn't wait for Ba Zun'an's response.

Ba Zun'an didn't have much power left, and he didn't seem to notice the two's previous little actions.

In fact, he could take the initiative to say it, and he had already tacitly agreed that there was no need to hide it.

The matter was long over, and talking about it now seemed like talking about another stranger.

Of course, Ba Zun'an only mentioned that one sentence about the child, and then returned to the main topic:

"I ignored the threatening letter..."

Threatening letter?

Who wants to hear a threatening letter now?

We want to hear about the child, the child!

"It's good to know what the name is, so that if we run into it in the future, we won't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple." Dao Qiongcang knows how to threaten in a tactful way.

It must be said that his tactfulness is very useful.

Ba Zun'an pondered for a moment and did not hide:

"August, a girl."

...

August?

Who is August?

Xu Dao and the others both felt unfamiliar.

Looking at the entire ancient sword art circle, there is no famous female ancient sword cultivator in their thirties named August.

The only one who meets the characteristics is Liu Fuyu.

Change the name?

No, it doesn't look like...

Intuitively, it doesn't look like...

At the same time as being unfamiliar, the two of them felt slightly familiar.

It belongs to the deep memory that I heard a passerby mention this name.

But it was too casual!

It takes a while to recall it.

At this time, Cao Erzhu's soul was boiling, and he could not help but utter a voice:

"August sister?!"

Thoughts surged like a tide, and Xu Xiaoshou recalled August's information.

When Qingyuanshan Jinren first met Erzhu, the latter held a note with his name on it and mentioned that it was given by "August sister".

There was an old man next to August. According to Mr. Siren's judgment, it was most likely Youtu.

August was younger than Erzhu, and not even necessarily older than himself. In short, it was impossible for him to be of the same age as Xiao Kongtong and Liu Fuyu...

Is there a way to freeze age?

Or, really freeze age?

"It's a bit confusing!"

Xu Xiaoshou felt incredible.

Indeed, when the name of August came out, he thought of it as Ba Zun'an's child.

But later on, he thought it was too careless. It was just nonsense to spell out a girl's name with the surnames of Ba Zun'an and Yue Gongnu.

Judging from the name "Ba Zun'an", his family's naming skills are unlikely to be so sloppy.

Now it seems...

Is it a prophecy?

Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the old Taoist priest in shock, and saw that his face was as surprised as his own, so he remembered that he was in control of the Qingyuan Mountain formation later.

Dao Qiongcang might have already recalled what happened inside.

Naturally, he should also know who August is.

...

"You, know each other?"

Ba Zun'an said his daughter's name calmly because he knew how low-key You Tu was and that he had never really returned to the Refining Spirit Realm in all these years.

Who would have thought that Xu Dao and the others knew the name, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to have seen the real person?

None of the eight masters have seen what his daughter looks like when she grows up!

Moreover, this stupid soul that came out of nowhere also knows his own daughter and calls her so intimately?

Kill him...

A thought came out of nowhere.

Xu Xiaoshou, who sensed the murderous intent, blurted out without thinking: "He is Cao Erzhu, the son of Kui Leihan."

Ba Zun'an then realized that this soul body was the one he wanted to protect.

As for why Cao Erzhu's soul was detained by Xu Xiaoshou, and why his body was taken away by Dao Qiongcang, what did these two people do to Kui Leihan's son before, one of whom detained his soul and the other occupied his nest...

I don't want to know.

You did a good job.

The person is not dead, and Lao Cao's request is fulfilled.

Ba Zun'an has always been less curious about things that have nothing to do with himself than ordinary people.

At the moment, he never threatened or asked these people to help August if they met again in the future.

He only remembered these names, and the key point was that Dao Qiongcang knew August, so he brought the topic back to himself:

"I ignored the threatening letter and chose to fight."

"On the day of the duel, halfway through the fight, someone sent me a message that something happened to Yuegong Nu - in the form of Tianjishu."

Xu Xiaoshou stopped interrupting and looked at Dao Qiongcang.

The latter waved his hands innocently and quickly, indicating that it was not his fault.

"At that time, I also thought that Dao Qiongcang was behind it, but I didn't care. After all, the battle had already begun, and I couldn't get away until it was over."

"Hua Changdeng is not weak, and it is impossible for him to miss any opportunity. I can't expose my flaws to him."

Not weak...

Xu Xiaoshou was secretly shocked.

This guy always looked like he could defeat the sky, the earth, and the air, and even said the simple and rough three words "repeat after me" to Suyin.

It was the first time that Xu Xiaoshou heard Ba Zun'an use such a solemn tone and the description of "not weak" to evaluate an ancient sword cultivator.

Hua Changdeng should not be worse than the Nine Thrones...

Xu Xiaoshou secretly memorized the key points.

After all, he knew that the Ten Thrones was originally held only to select talents for the Holy Spirit Temple.

For the five holy emperor families at a higher level, this is no different from selecting more useful foreign servants.

Hua Changdeng did not become the Ten Thrones, not necessarily because he failed, it is possible that he simply did not need to participate like the Yuegong slaves:

My family held a competition to select servants, why should I, the young master, get involved?

What? These selected servants are too opinionated?

That is another matter, and it does not affect my early contempt for these servants who are about to stand out.

What? Dao Qiongcang went?

He should go, otherwise why would someone call him "Showy Old Taoist".

What? Bei Huai also went?

It is understandable that he went, others may go to study the competition, and he went to study others.

…

Yuegong Li, who was curled up in the array of the God Punishment Pillar, originally felt that the space was a bit cramped.

As a noble son, he really couldn't get used to these broken arrays.

But at this moment, Yuegong Li curled up into a ball, trying his best to block his soul breath to prevent Ba Zun'an's sensitive sense of smell from smelling his scent.

"Are you still talking?"

"Let's not talk about this, Brother B, let me go, let me go..."

He hugged himself and trembled in the array, not daring to show his head to see his "brother-in-law" who had said to outsiders that they had an extremely close relationship.

Also in the hinterland, Ba Zun'an was relatively relaxed, and after a pause, he continued:

"The interference from the Tianji technique did not interfere with me."

"In fact, based on my understanding of Yuegong Nu, even if she really had an accident that day and knew that I was fighting, she would not tell me these things, because it is likely that it was just a 'trick'."

"But in the end..."

His voice sank, and Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt that the key to the problem had come.

The "turnaround" that will appear next should be the root of the evil that led to the defeat of the Eight Lords by Hua Changdeng.

What could it be?

Dao Xuanji has this method?

I can't tell... Xu Xiaoshou listened to Lao Ba's story attentively, and even forgot about his daughter for a while.

At this time, Dao Qiongcang's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he said firmly:

"Yuegong Li!"

Xu Xiaoshou glanced at him in surprise, looking through the phenomenon to the essence, as if he saw the array where Yuegong Li was.

What does it have to do with my brother?

Didn't Yuegong Li say that he had a good relationship with his brother-in-law? Could he also be Dao Xuanji's man?

No, from the information given by Aunt Xiang, don't they get along?

...

"Shut up!"

In the array of the God Punishment Pillar, Yuegong Li shouted angrily.

Unfortunately, he dared not shout a word, and just huddled in the array like a mouse, baring his teeth at Dao Qiongcang from a distance, wishing to rush out and tear him apart - but he could only wish.

"Yes."

Ba Zun'an said affirmatively:

"What I didn't expect was that when the battle reached a critical moment, Yue Gongli rushed into the battlefield."

"In fact, he didn't intervene in the frontal battle."

"But he only told me in a panicked tone that his sister was in trouble and was being taken to the Cold Prison by the clan elders and was about to be tried..."

The voice behind gradually faded.

Xu Xiaoshou probably understood.

A younger brother, at such a critical occasion, rushed over to tell his brother-in-law that his sister was in trouble.

Even if this guy is not in tune with the world on weekdays, as a noble descendant of the Holy Emperor, he will be well-educated.

He should know that things should be prioritized.

Such a word confused the eight masters.

Even if it was only a little bit, even if the opportunity was fleeting, would Hua Changdeng let go of the opponent's moment of distraction and hesitation?

"The fox did it on purpose?"

Xu Xiaoshou frowned and took the lead in thinking from the perspective of a dirty person.

In the ancient book world, the vague figure of Ba Zun An shook his head, but before he could speak, Dao Qiong Cang rushed to speak:

"We can't jump to conclusions about this matter, nor can we make judgments based on feelings. In my opinion, it's not certain!"

"Yue Gongli is talented and cunning, how could he not see through Dao Xuanji's plan?"

"It can't be said that he was killed by borrowing a knife, but just took advantage of the situation and did it."

After listening, Ba Zun An was silent and did not comment.

...

"Dao Nitian, shut up! Shut up!"

In the array, Yue Gongli's soul jumped up and down, and the wound almost broke, and he almost exploded into soul fragments again.

"I didn't mean it!"

"You have to understand the relationship between siblings. She can beat me on weekdays, but I am also a person at the critical moment, and I have emotions!"

"I heard her news, and I saw such a big commotion in the clan. The elders of each clan were dispatched. How could I not be upset?"

"Even in a hurry, I will try any possible means. What's wrong with me looking for Ba Zun'an? What's wrong with stopping the battle? Is the big thing more important than my sister?"

"Brother-in-law, you should understand that I am confused because I care too much!"

But...

These words...

Yue Gongli did not dare to speak out.

He no longer dared to face Ba Zun'an, knowing that he had become the culprit of the "fall" of the Eighth Sword Immortal due to a series of mistakes.

Whenever he thought of this, the Tianji puppet who sent the "key intelligence" at that time... no, the master of Xuanji Xingshi would be stabbed with a few more arrows in his heart:

"Dao Xuanji!"

"You really deserve to die!"

...

Dao Qiongcang thought that he had never been a villain who spoke ill of others behind their backs.

The Eight Lords said nothing, and Yuegong Li did not object, so he dared to ask directly in front of the two of them:

"Isn't it?"

"If you are also emotional, we can put aside the complicated and incredible process in the middle and think about this matter from the perspective of "result theory": Who benefits?"

He snapped his fingers: "Yuegong Li!"

"Is there any benefit for Dao Xuanji in completing this matter?"

"Yes! You slandered the Eighth Sword Immortal and tore off Yuegong Nu's identity as the descendant of the Holy Emperor, but she is such a person who harms others and does not benefit herself?"

"No! From a long-term perspective, this has paved the way for the destruction of the Lei Family in the future, and you can no longer take action."

"But the benefit is too small! This is not Dao Xuanji!"

"Who really made a huge profit from this matter?"

With a snap, Dao Qiongcang snapped his fingers again and said loudly:

"Yuegong Li!"

Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.

The death of the eighth sword immortal turned out to be more than just a battle between sword immortals.

Was there a fight between a brother and a sister, or a fight for the successor of the Holy Emperor?

In a short period of time, too many chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind, and the disgusting Yue Gongli who dared to perform a caesarean section in public came to mind.

Dao Qiongcang seemed to have analyzed all of this. He just stared at Xu Xiaoshou's belly and spoke in an orderly manner:

"The successor of the Yue clan's Holy Emperor has changed. My sister has lost power and has no chance of ascending to the throne."

"The child in her belly is the first successor, but one, he has not been born yet. Second, she has had an affair with a foreign race. The mother was demoted to a holy slave, and the son is also the same."

"If her lineage goes, although I am her younger brother, I will be taken away in theory, but will I actually be taken away?"

"No! No!"

"On the contrary, both mother and son have no chance of ascending to the throne. Not only will I not be implicated, but I will also be reused by my father and become the true successor of the Holy Emperor and the future head of the Holy Emperor family!"

The voice was like a bolt from the blue. Not only did it silence the eight Xu and dumbfound the two pillars, but even Yue Gongli in the formation plate was petrified on the spot.

"Is that all?"

"No! That alone is not enough for 'huge profits'."

Ke Dao Qiongcang did not stop, and snapped his fingers again, explaining the pros and cons:

"Once my sister is gone, I will be his brother, and we have deep feelings for each other. The Eighth Sword Immortal hates my clan, but he is a person who can distinguish right from wrong. He will never bear a grudge against me, on the contrary, he will help me."

"The more he hates the Yue clan, the more I can use this seed of hatred, be close to them, use it as a sword, and unite to fight against dissidents, and clear obstacles for me in the clan."

"I have hidden the sword for thirty years, waiting for the day when I can use it. You'd better be stronger. The stronger you are, the easier it will be for me to use it later!"

Cao Erzhu's soul was shocked and murmured in a daze, looking like he was greatly shocked.

Yuegong Li was quiet, but the soul in the array was tense and trembling uncontrollably.

"Is that all?"

"No! It's more than that!"

Dao Qiongcang snapped his fingers again:

"Ancient sword cultivators attach great importance to face. If the battle with Hua Changdeng is over, I will just tell him that your victory was not glorious. It was Dao Xuanji who used me to help you."

"I will kill Dao Xin with one word. Changdeng will be useless for thirty years. Even if he can wake up during this period, he will hate Dao Xuanji."

"In this way, we can borrow the peerless ghost sword of Yunshan Emperor Realm and cut towards Qianshi Emperor Realm to balance it."

"Coincidentally, these two tribes have been the most active in recent years. If they want to threaten the status of my Han Palace Emperor Realm, they should be suppressed once."

"And the best way to suppress them is, of course, for them to fight each other and I will benefit!"

Cao Erzhu's eyes widened when he heard this. He felt that humans should not be like this, at least not humans.

Yuegong Lihun's body swelled, his brain bulged, and there was a faint flow of magic energy around him, which was a prelude to turning into a devil.

"Is that all?"

"No, no, no, still no!"

Dao Qiongcang snapped his fingers again, seeing through everything, penetrating deeply:

"The plan was made by Dao Xuanji, and if I take the throne afterwards..."

"Just protect my sister but don't save him, outsiders know that I love her deeply, but I am not trapped by love, and I am a person who can be of great use."

"Just take revenge on Dao Xuanji but don't kill her, outsiders know that I know honor and disgrace, and know grudges, but I know right and wrong, and I will not hurt the harmony of the five great Saint Emperor families for such a trivial matter, and I am a person of great tolerance."

"I hold the Eight Zun An in my left hand and the Hua Chang Lantern in my right hand, which can protect the Han Palace. In the five hundred years of the imperial realm, the people's hearts and reputation are with me. If I can't accomplish great things, who can?"

"And to accomplish this, what do I need to do in the overall situation of these five hundred years?"

"It's not difficult. I just need to play the role of a messenger, be a supporting role, and say one sentence - one sentence, that's enough!"

He paused, Dao Qiongcang held Cao Erzhu's face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and slowly stared at Xu Xiaoshou's belly again...

Suddenly panicked, at a loss, looking around, and finally covered his lips with the back of his hand, took a breath and whispered:

"An, my sister is in trouble, come back quickly."
