Chapter 25 "The Truth Comes Out"

King Qing clenched his fists, stroked his chest, and panted heavily.

For his physical cultivation that has almost reached the peak, this physical injury should be nothing, as long as he is lucky with his blood, he will recover as before.

But now, scarlet blood flowers exploded on his chest, and the blood flowed profusely, unable to heal at all.

Because at this moment, his wound was full of surging sword intent, lingering, preventing his blood from circulating.

If the sword intent does not dissipate, the blood energy will also be blocked.

King Qing raised his arm again, but this time he no longer punched out, but wiped away the blood that was seeping from his mouth or nose.

The pale King Qing raised his head, stared at Li Qiubai, and said something mysterious, "It's just a prototype, but already has such power, Li Qiubai, how dare people think that if you return to the sword fairyland , triggering the scene where the whole world becomes a sword."

Li Qiubai didn't answer, but his mind moved.

Bai Yuncanggou, the wind is surging, and another cloud sword is formed between the sky and the earth.

The power is not inferior to the previous sword.

Seeing this scene, King Qing couldn't help trembling slightly.

The power of the last sword is still vivid!

He is not Li Qiubai's opponent.

Needless to say.

The point of Yunjian's sword pointed directly at King Qing.

Li Qiubai didn't bother to listen to his praise, and didn't have time to argue with him, so he asked directly, "Now, can you talk properly?"

"Hehe...Of course." King Qing swallowed a mouthful of blood, his figure staggered slightly, and he looked very free and easy and resigned to his fate, "Since you are not your opponent, what else can you say?"

As Emperor Wu, who had already reached the peak of monks, it was absolutely impossible for him to be as stubborn and stubborn as ordinary monks.

"Donglin, Qiandiao, and Tai'an are all empty, millions of people have disappeared, and all the clues point to your veins. How do you explain it?" Li Qiubai narrowed his eyes and killed The meaning is getting stronger.

Upon hearing this, King Qing's face changed slightly, looking rather embarrassed.

But Li Qiubai was staring at him with sword-like eyes, stabbing him with sword after sword, and he couldn't allow him to be perfunctory.

In the end, the new Emperor Wu who had been in the limelight for thousands of years slowly lowered his proud head in front of the long-famous old sword fairy.

He said slowly: "Physical training tempers one's own qi and blood. There are generally two ways to forge strength. One is to repeatedly temper the physical body to generate qi and blood by itself, and the other is to pick foreign objects to supplement oneself."

What King Qing said is easy to understand.

The first method refers to physical training to forge a strong physical body, and the blood will naturally become stronger and stronger.

The second method is actually to replenish one's own blood through elixir, elixir, and even the flesh and blood of monsters.

Li Qiubai remained silent, waiting for King Qing's next explanation.

"Among the giant spirits and demons, there is a secret that is not passed down, called the "blood" formula.

Through the "blood" formula, they can collect blood essence and refine it into blood essence.

Others need to take the blood essence to improve their own blood, strengthen their physical bodies, and even increase their strength. "King Qing became more and more serious.

"For physical cultivators, blood essence is the most precious and magical treasure, which can help them keep breaking through.

"

"Since I was promoted to Emperor Wu, I have devoted myself to seeking the Dao of Reaching Heaven, and almost no longer care about the affairs of my subordinates."

"As a result, because of my negligence, among my descendants, the eldest son Xia Jing secretly communicated with the demons to form a cooperation.

He sent the human race to the demon race in exchange for the demon race to refine the blood essence for him, so as to continuously improve his cultivation.

He called this deal a swap deal. "

"Xia Jing is the most outstanding of my descendants, his cultivation has reached the ninth level, I trust him enough, and it is hard to believe that he would do such a thing.

That's why I let him take advantage of my influence to do things that are contrary to human ethics. I didn't find out about it until a few days ago, and I wanted to ask him to settle the account. "

"I didn't expect him to realize that something happened to the east window, and he didn't want to be captured without a fight. He resolutely carried out a brutal massacre in the city of Daxia, trying to refine enough blood essence in the shortest time, trying to break into Emperor Wu, so as to have the strength to resist me. strength."

"I reacted a step further. His attack was too ruthless, so a momentary negligence led to the incident of emptying the three cities."

"I was also in a hurry to deal with him, and I didn't have the time to deal with the matter of the three cities in detail, which led to these turmoil and made you pursue it all the way."

"You sent the black-armored monk in Tai'an City?" Li Qiubai asked in a cold voice, "The interception and killing of the monks passing by has nothing to do with it, just to avoid leaking the news?"

Speaking of this, King Qing smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I, Xia Qing, slayed countless demons in foreign battlefields when I was young. Such a rebellious person appeared..."

"I'm sorry to Daozu, I'm sorry to those human monks who died on the battlefield outside the territory.

But no matter what, I have to suppress this matter, although many of them want to keep my reputation, but..." King Qing paused, and said in a deep voice: "It is definitely not only for myself, but also for Think big picture. "

The new Emperor Wu suddenly raised his head and looked straight into Li Qiubai's eyes, "Chang'an Sword Immortal should understand that if this matter is publicized and everyone knows about it, how much impact it will have."

He raised his right hand and said seriously: "First of all, it will cause a crisis of trust in Daxia among the human monks, leading to internal instability."

The Daxia royal family, who were regarded as the guardians of the human race, took the initiative to sacrifice the human race in exchange for resources that made them powerful.

Once this kind of "guarding and stealing" behavior is exposed, it will inevitably cause an uproar, which will lead to various turmoil, affect the prestige of Daxia, and may also cause many people to lose trust in Daxia.

"This matter is only a matter of this king's lineage, but from the outside world, our Great Xia royal family is one.

Even if Xia Zhao didn't know anything about it and didn't participate in it at all, she would definitely be implicated and face many troubles. Chang'an Sword Immortal would not want to see this happen. "

Speaking of this, King Qing was no longer just analyzing the pros and cons, but even started to play the emotional card.

He was determined that Li Qiubai would definitely take care of the Da Xia Zun in Chang'an, and he didn't want to cause her too much trouble.

"So?" Li Qiubai asked lightly.

Seeing Li Qiubai's reaction, King Qing couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and continue: "I have already captured Xia Jing, and I am currently imprisoned in the prison of Qingcheng. Because he is my eldest son, I will tolerate him a little."

"I want to see." Li Qiubai naturally couldn't listen to what King Xinqing said.

King Qing didn't refuse either, and said with a clear-eyed expression, "Sword Immortal, please follow me."

He took a breath, the wound on his chest was still painful.

But he can't care too much.

Li Qiubai dispersed silently at this time, the cloud sword he condensed with the power of heaven and earth.

The two figures flashed away above the undulating Qingming.

next moment.

The prison underground in Qingcheng.

It is very dark here, without any vitality, lifeless, not even the slightest sound.

Two figures suddenly appeared.

King Qing and Li Qiubai.

Li Qiubai had a strange expression on his face, standing inside the prison, silently looking at the other side.

There, there was a skinny male cultivator who looked like a hanged ghost, surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere.

He wasn't wearing any clothes, and his naked body was covered with porcelain-like cracks, and the blood flowed profusely, but all the blood that flowed out was black-red dead blood, and there was no life at all.

The life essence of this person is constantly passing away.

The physical body that should have been extremely powerful has now shriveled and shriveled, like a mummy, with pits and pits on the surface, and bones can be seen deep in it, it is not in shape.

Several black chains that were steaming cold penetrated into his flesh and blood, firmly clamping him in place.

This is the "culprit" of the exchange of blood and the tribulation of the three cities, Prince Qing's eldest son, a monk of the Nine Realms, Xia Jing!

"Father," seeing King Qing walking in, Xia Jing raised his head with difficulty, with a smile that was incomprehensible on his bloodless face, "You are here..."

King Qing sighed deeply.

It seems that he has deep regrets for the eldest son who is the most respected and trusted by him, and has become what he is today.

"This is my eldest son, Xia Jing." King Qing said.

"Because I have to interrogate him for the specific details of his collusion with the demons over the years, so as to suppress and avenge the demons, so I did not kill him for the time being, but imprisoned him here."

"You said he gave the human race to the demon race through a blood exchange, in exchange for the demon race to refine the blood essence for him?"

Li Qiubai frowned, "Then how did he make a deal with the Demon Race? There is only one passage from the Central Heaven Territory to the Demon Realm, and that is the extraterritorial battlefield.

But with Yan Languan blocking, neither you nor the Demon Race can send the Human Race into the Demon Realm. "

Yanlan Pass is the township gate of Zhongtianyu, guarded by the Great Xia Royal Family and Tianji Temple.

Even King Qing couldn't cover the sky at Yanlan Pass and send the human race into the Demon Realm silently, let alone his mere heirs.

King Qing's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "That's because in the Zhongtian Realm, there is a second spatial channel leading to the Demon Race's Tianmen Realm."

Li Qiubai raised his eyebrows.

It's a terrible thing.

The human race is already insufficient in strength, and it is already extremely difficult to guard Yanlan Pass. If a second space channel appears in one area, it is necessary to divide the troops, and it is inevitable that they will be exhausted and incapable of doing so.

But he also knew in his heart that there must be a sequel.

This space channel should not be that simple - if it is really the same as the space channel guarded by Yanlanguan, the demons will not be so calm these years, and they have already used this to launch an offensive on both sides.

"Fortunately, this space channel is very unstable and extremely fragile, and it cannot carry the existence of too strong power through it at all, otherwise it may collapse at any time.

As far as this aspect is concerned, it can be said to be extremely tasteless. I didn't expect it to be discovered by the demons, and the waste was used to transport the human race. " King Qing explained.

"Sword Immortal, don't worry, after I find out everything, I will definitely punish Xia Jing as I should, and I will pay my life for my life." He promised again.

"The souls of thousands of human souls in the sky cannot be soothed by him alone." Li Qiubai looked at King Qing coldly.

The corners of King Qing's mouth twitched slightly, a deep shadow flashed in his eyes, and his pupils shrank suddenly. After a few breaths, he said word by word: "I have taken down all the monks who participated in the blood exchange transaction and the tribulation of the three cities. A large part, and a small number are now in other prisons."

"Not enough." Li Qiubai shook his head calmly.

King Qing's face was already twitching at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will explain the matter to Xia Zhao in detail, and send Xia Jing to Chang'an, and let Xia Zhao deal with it, regardless of life or death."

Although he made Xia Jing's life worse than death, he still had a friendship in his heart, and wanted to let his eldest son die by his hands... Li Qiubai thought in his heart, and suddenly felt a chill.

Xia Jing's death a hundred times is not enough to comfort the souls of so many souls in heaven, King Qing still thinks so much?

How could he agree?

"Not enough." Li Qiubai said again.

King Qing was silent for a few seconds, his tone was cold, and his face became paler. I don't know if it was because of the injury on his body or because he was angry, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Xia Qing, you have allowed your eldest son Xia Jing to commit crimes, shielded Xia Jing, and even killed innocent monks, just to keep the news of the tribulation in the three cities secret.

It can be said that you have committed mistakes everywhere, and the first thing you have to do is to confess your sins! "

"Li Qiubai, I am Emperor Wu, one of the few honorable monks in the entire human race!

At the moment when the battle with the demons is imminent and every strength is urgently needed, you don't want me to pay for what my son has done, do you? " King Qing glared and shouted, sneering again and again.

Li Qiubai shook his head, "I won't get too involved in the affairs of your royal family, and Xia Zhao should decide how to deal with you."

"You take your eldest son to Chang'an to plead guilty to her, and she will make the final decision on how to deal with your lineage."

"What if I don't agree?" King Qing took a heavy breath, as if the injury on his chest had recurred.

He has never looked down upon Xia Zhao, even though Xia Zhao is the Supreme Master of Xia.

"I am Emperor Wu, Xia Zhao, what else does she have besides the throne? Why is she qualified to deal with me?" Prince Qing laughed back angrily.

"She still has me." Li Qiubai said in a deep voice, saying every word.

The blood on King Qing's face was fading little by little.

He felt great humiliation.

Being promoted to Emperor Wu, coupled with the blessing of his status, his status is already the highest among the monks of the human race. Even for Xia Zhao, he is extremely disdainful in his heart.

Moreover, Xia Zhao has never been able to and cannot order him.

Now, Li Qiubai wants him to be a majestic Emperor Wu, to bow his head and plead guilty to a girl he has always looked down upon, and let her punish him?

A surge of reverse blood welled up in my heart.

"Li Qiubai, don't bully others too much." King Qing said hoarsely.

"If you refuse to plead guilty, then it is considered inappropriate, so I have no choice but to do it myself." Li Qiubai's voice was flat, but it was as heavy as a thousand weights.

For beings of their level, the truth of the world is that simple.

My sword is harder than your fist, so my words are justified.

Li Qiubai pointed out, "I won't believe it, this matter is really all his idea, you don't know about it."

He's not that naive.

It's just that this kind of thing has all kinds of twists and turns, and he is only one person, so it is too laborious to investigate.

So after he figured out the main idea, he didn't want to worry about the remaining details, and left it to Xia Zhao.

He also believed that Xia Zhao could handle this matter well.

"You have to understand that if it were me, your ending would definitely be ugly." Li Qiubai sneered again, his threat clearly revealed.

He has always been alone, without worries, never thinking too much, and he doesn't care about the so-called "big picture".

If he makes a move, King Qing's ending will be extremely ugly

But in that position, Xia Zhao thought more and had more scruples, King Qing could achieve a much better result.

King Qing's face turned green and pale.

However, as Emperor Wu, it was too embarrassing for him to plead guilty to a junior whom he looked down upon, to a woman.

"I always keep what I say." Sword Immortal said again.

"puff!"

At this time, King Qing, who had been pressing the sword intent on the wound, became anxious for a moment, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out.

"Okay...then it's as you said!" Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, King Qing finally made a decision, raised his head, paused, and gritted his teeth.

Li Qiubai nodded, turned and left the prison, "I'll give you a little time to get things ready, and then I will personally send you to Chang'an City."

The sword fairy's figure quickly disappeared into the prison.

When Li Qiubai left, King Qing, who looked extremely angry, suddenly suppressed his anger.

He looked up at Xia Jing, who was no longer in human form, and stroked his withered skin like bark, "Jing'er, thank you for your hard work, just hold on for a while, just hold on for a while... ..”

Xia Jing tried his best to show a smile at King Qing. It was extremely ferocious, and he seemed to be crying and smiling, "It's good that I can help my father."

"Hehe..." King Qing lowered his eyelids and whispered to himself, "Li Qiubai, Li Qiubai, even if you are the best in the world, so what?"

"Your talent has made your life so smooth, so many things, you think too simply, and you will never see through them."

Li Qiubai's reaction was completely calculated by him.

How can a sword fairy who has had a smooth journey fight against an old fritter like him who has been planning for thousands of years in terms of calculations?

Go to Chang'an to plead guilty?

wish for it.

"My last step is to complete it in Chang'an."

Li Qiubai asked him to go to Chang'an to confess to Xia Zhao, which was exactly what he wanted!

"The way of human beings is to lose enough to gain more..." King Qing murmured.
