Chapter 305: Not a Witch, but Mu Xue, the Empress Escapes

From the first half of the night to the second half of the night.

The sound in the hall never stopped.

A black beam of light rose into the sky.

A piece of tortoise shell escaped from Lu Mingyuan's body, but his consciousness was completely immersed in the spiritual world and could not notice it.

Until a certain moment, the crisp chirping of birds came from outside the hall, and all the black karma fire was extinguished in the hall.

It's already dawn.

Beside the bed, there were scattered Taoist robes, white single clothes, a red rope belt, and a pink embroidered bellyband on the ground.

All the karma accumulated over a hundred years burst out, making Lu Mingyuan a little overwhelmed.

The whole person was exhausted, lying on the bed, losing all five senses. It wasn't until something moist and soft rubbed against his face that he opened his eyes from the daze.

Sui Yuqing's beautiful face that looked like it was carved out of ice crystals was very close at hand, and her lips were already on her face.

It turns out to be a mouth.

Looking at the other party's slightly trembling eyelashes, rosy cheeks, and looking at the confused face, Lu Mingyuan couldn't believe it.

I really succeeded in dual cultivation with this famous fairy!

It's just that Sui Yuqing's appearance doesn't look like a cold fairy at all.

In Lu Mingyuan's mind, he couldn't help but recall the image of Sui Yuqing in the past. He was always dignified and solemn, full of fairy spirit, and always maintained the attitude of a teaching sister to Yun Qinghe.

To Yun Qinghe, Sui Yuqing is her senior sister and elder.

To me, she is not half an elder.

Even if the two people's cultivation levels have gradually become equal, Lu Mingyuan will always match his seniors, and it's more of a sign of respect.

Lu Mingyuan lay on the bed blankly, looking at the exquisitely carved ceiling. Even though Nephrite was in his arms, he was still deep in thought for the first time and did not let go.

However, after a while.

Sui Yuqing stretched out a pair of snow-white lotus root arms from the quilt, hugged Lu Mingyuan's neck, and murmured uncomfortably:

"So hot."

hot?

Lu Mingyuan's heart moved and he frowned.

After guessing, he put his hand on Sui Yuqing's smooth jade forehead and found that it was extremely hot.

It's like having a fever.

"what happened?"

Lu Mingyuan was puzzled and didn't know why he still felt hot.

Judging from the current situation, most of the karmic fire should have been eliminated by him.

"Could it be said that there are still remnants of Karma Fire?"

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

After just thinking about it for a short while, the person next to the pillow kissed me, as if he had found a big ice cube that could quickly cool him down.

Naturally, Lu Mingyuan would not refuse the request of such a great beauty.

We can only continue to look for ways to eliminate the fire of karma.

Another two hours later.

Lu Mingyuan sat up and found that it was already bright outside the window.

He touched Sui Yuqing's forehead again and found that the karma fire in the other person's body had finally subsided and the temperature was not as high as before.

At this moment, Lu Mingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He could finally get up.

At the same time, Sui Yuqing's self-awareness gradually returned, and all the lust in his eyes dissipated. After opening his eyes, a pair of pure and beautiful eyes were revealed.

Only with this look in his eyes could Lu Mingyuan be sure that she was not a demon.

She sat up with her arms around the quilt, her black hair was messy, and she looked around, looking at the messy bed and the clothes scattered on the floor, holding the quilt, but she was still confused.

Finally, she looked at Lu Mingyuan.

Immediately, I seemed to understand something.

His face was slightly red, and his eyes were slightly ashamed.

"You were haunted by inner demons last night. I helped you suppress the fire of karma. You can see how your body is doing."

Lu Mingyuan stood up tiredly, leaned over to pick up his clothes, and put them on himself.

The look in Sui Yuqing's eyes when she looked at him didn't show blame, but a look of joy, mixed with a bit of gratitude and emotion:

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, I'd probably have disappeared by now."

She understood what would happen if her inner demons devoured her self.

Hearing her emotion, Lu Mingyuan smiled softly: "Don't be too hasty to express your feelings. Check your physical condition first."

"good."

Sui Yuqing inspected his body, nodded and said:

"The fire of karma has been eliminated a lot. It can be said that it has been reduced by 80%."

"but."

"but what?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat.

"The fire of karma will continue to arise. If I can't really overcome my inner demons, I don't know when the fire of karma will break out again, and I'm afraid there will be more in the future."

In the second half of the sentence, Sui Yuqing's cheeks turned red and she seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

After saying these words, Lu Mingyuan finally understood.

What this inner demon said may not be unreasonable.

The so-called karmic fire and inner demons are Sui Yuqing's doom, and they are the side effects of her cultivating the supreme master to forget her feelings and stabilize her Taoist heart.

Although he could help her suppress her karma in a short period of time, it was not a long-term solution after all.

Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, if Sui Yuqing cannot overcome his inner demons, the fire of karma will always exist.

Only the wildfire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow it again.

Just as the inner demon said, Sui Yuqing has not yet faced her true self, so she can temporarily gain control of her body.

Although Lu Mingyuan didn't feel that this was a burden in his heart, he still comforted him: "Just take it one step at a time. How many people in this world can avoid being trapped by their inner demons? They will all be affected to one degree or another. As long as I am still here." , nothing will happen to the fairy."

Sui Yuqing's heart couldn't help but be moved by these warm words.

She seemed to remember something and quickly said to Lu Mingyuan:

"By the way, when I was deprived of consciousness, I once appeared inexplicably near the dungeon. I guess that this inner demon may be inseparable from the Empress of the Underworld. Your Majesty, would you like to go and investigate the situation of the enchantress?"

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Is there such a thing?"

"It seems that your inner demon is growing so fast, and it is probably inseparable from the Empress of the Underworld."

He looked at Sui Yuqing and asked, "Do you remember when you started to lose consciousness?"

"In other words, when did the inner demon invade your physical body?"

Sui Yuqing recalled it carefully and said: "From the time in the Golden Crow Kingdom, when your Majesty helped me suppress the fire of karma, there were already signs. I thought it was because I was uneasy, but when I returned to the Imperial Capital, I realized that it was because of my heart. The devil took over my body, and it was already too late.”

Lu Mingyuan nodded gently and said: "Fairy, I still have something to do. If you are tired, you might as well rest for a while. I will go to the dungeon first."

"good."

Sui Yuqing nodded and agreed.

Lu Mingyuan left the palace and headed all the way to the dungeon where Empress Da Ming was imprisoned.

Along the way, he met many palace guards, including the great Yan worshiper, and they all saluted him.

"See Your Majesty!"

Lu Mingyuan just nodded lightly and passed by.

The top priority is to figure out what Wu Gongyu is doing.

It was a bizarre thing to lock her into the dungeon so easily.

There is even a possibility that she did it on purpose.

What does she want to do with Sui Yuqing's inner demons?

Once again, we came to the damp and cold dungeon.

A ball of condensed flame appeared in Lu Mingyuan's palm, which was used for lighting.

He stood in front of the cold iron gate deep in the dungeon and found that there was still someone inside.

Wu Gongyu did not escape.

She was seen sitting quietly in the center, with chains still tied to various parts of her body, unable to move at all.

It's just that her condition is not good.

He lowered his head and was in a drowsy state.

The whole person seemed to be sleeping.

Wait, something is wrong!

When Lu Mingyuan came here before, Wu Gongyu had never slept.

Based on her cultivation level, even if she was suppressed by so many special dragon locks, she should still be able to reach the state of fasting and full of energy, without having to sleep for several months. This is something that should be necessary for physical and mental cultivation to reach this level.

"Come here! Unlock the door!"

Lu Mingyuan gave an order and called the person in charge of the dungeon.

Seeing that the holy master's tone and demeanor were not good, the old man who served as the warden sweated on his forehead.

It seemed like I had done something wrong.

But he recalled it carefully and found that nothing had gone wrong in the dungeon these days, and no prisoners had escaped.

But if the Holy One is so serious, something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this witch is in some danger."

"Are you questioning my strength?"

Lu Mingyuan looked at the warden with cold eyes, his aura was full of dominance.

A coercion belonging to the late stage of the Heavenly Realm quickly swept over.

When he was in the eleventh realm, he could barely tie with the demon girl. Now that he was in the twelfth realm, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Even the elders of the prison who were not low in cultivation were immediately frightened and fell to the ground. They quickly ordered to the jailer on the side: "Hurry up and open the lock!"

"yes!"

The jailer opened the cell door.

Lu Mingyuan took a step forward and used his elemental consciousness to carefully check the aura of the person in front of him.

Discovering that people are indeed alive.

The breath is very stable.

Just passed out.

But why is he unconscious?

Lu Mingyuan had a vague premonition in his heart.

He circulated all his energy and injected it into the body of the woman in front of him, intending to forcefully awaken her.

"Wow!"

The surging red energy was as bright as the sun, lighting up the entire dungeon and attracting the attention of many prisoners.

It seems that a world-famous master has arrived in the dungeon.

Such strong men rarely appear in the dungeon.

They all kept their heads down, for fear of being discovered by this person.

There was only one white-haired old man, wearing a prison uniform made of linen, with his hands and feet bound by chains, sitting against the cold wall, and hummed with a smile on his face:

"In my opinion, she must have been affected by the sequelae of soul turmoil. I'm afraid this enchantress has already flown far away."

After hearing this, Lu Mingyuan glanced at the prison behind him where the man was being held.

It is certain that this person is also a repeat offender.

"It's you."

Lu Mingyuan squinted his eyes and recognized this person.

That's right.

This old man is already an old acquaintance.

He was the former imperial master who had followed Emperor Yong'an for thirty years.

The former chief minister of the cabinet, the famous Yuan Xuangang.

At the beginning, after Lu Mingyuan obtained the throne, all the old ministers and elders were imprisoned, waiting to be executed by the Empress in the coming autumn.

Even Yuan Xuangang is no exception.

The country's first assistant, who once had a brilliant career, has fallen into this situation.

Now Yuan Xuangang seems to be a bit sad and happy, I saw him laughing loudly: "Hahaha, compared to your father, you are still too young, and you are played by a mere witch!"

"What did I say? You can't resist the Manghuang world and the Shengming world. Great Yan will be destroyed in your hands!"

Unfortunately, Lu Mingyuan did not seem to be angered, but said calmly: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yuan Xuangang sneered and said: "Afraid of death? If you were afraid of death, I wouldn't have helped Your Majesty to help Dayan."

The majesty he spoke of was obviously Emperor Yong'an.

Yuan Xuangang believed that he was already about to die, so he had already faced death calmly.

Understanding what he was thinking, Lu Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Sir, you are such a good person, why not stay in this prison forever?"

When Yuan Xuangang heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

"what do you mean?"

Lu Mingyuan said calmly: "It is my decree that Yuan Xuangang be exempted from the death penalty and instead be imprisoned for eternity."

He sneered at Yuan Xuangang and said: "Since you look down on Dayan and me so much, then I will prove it to you step by step."

The effort of the two of them in talking.

The woman who was bound by a chain on one side had slowly woken up.

"Why am I here?"

Just the first sentence he spoke made Lu Mingyuan's expression change slightly.

He saw the inexplicably familiar look on the face in front of him, and an impulse surged in his heart.

"Wu Xue, is that you?"

Qi Muxue, who had just regained consciousness, looked at the door and saw a man standing there, and said unexpectedly: "Is it your Majesty?"

Soon she noticed that her voice had changed.

She quickly looked at her body and realized that she was bound by chains.

However, Qi Muxue did not show fear, but showed joy.

"My body is back!"

Her words were full of joy.

Lu Mingyuan also hugged her into his arms and said softly:

"It's okay, just come back when it's okay."

"Um"

Qi Muxue cried with joy and hugged Lu Mingyuan tightly, her voice trembling.

She was extremely scared before and there was no way to change it.

Now, this problem no longer exists.

But his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

Since Qi Muxue's soul has returned to its original body, it means that Wu Gongyu has probably left the Imperial Capital now.

As far as he knows.

There are many tunnels under the palace. If the witch used these tunnels, it would be too late now.

After all, Wu Gongyu got out of prison once three years ago.

At this moment, outside the Imperial Capital City.

The door of a deep tunnel.

A tall woman with willow eyebrows and red phoenix eyes walked out, holding a black tortoise shell in her hand, looking at the bright sun in the world, her eyes seemed to flash with a hint of comfort and peace of mind.

"Can you agree to my request now?"

Sui Yuqing stood opposite her, her eyes full of hope.

Wu Gongyu looked at the woman, condescendingly, and said with a slightly stern look, "Yes, yes, but you need to solve the physical problem yourself."

"The only physical body that can hold your soul is a container containing the world's top elixirs and divine treasures."

"But it's not something I have to think about anymore, it's something you should think about yourself."

"I have done my best to help you get here."

Wu Gongyu paused and said: "It is quite difficult for you to be able to condense your own soul from just one barrier thought."

"Although it borrows the power of the tortoise shell, you still need to have strong willpower, otherwise you will have disappeared from the body last night alone."

This inner demon is stronger than she thought.

Even though he was suppressed many times by Lu Mingyuan, he still stayed in Sui Yuqing's body and did not really die.

Even with the help of the tortoise shell, he got rid of the shackles of the karmic fire and became a ray of soul.

In this way, you no longer have to worry about the passing of luck.

If it were before, the inner demons would be eliminated by the Dragon Luck and then disappear completely.

But now, once he becomes a soul, he is no longer afraid of this method and has completely become a part of the soul.

This is also the reason why Lu Mingyuan did not kill them all.

"flesh."

Sui Yuqing had thoughts in his eyes.

Now that most of the karmic fire has been washed away, she cannot monopolize the physical body with this method, and can only occupy the physical body for two hours every day.

Wu Gongyu added: "Let me give you another reminder. According to Lu Mingyuan, the Ascension Platform will be born soon. By then, you might have the opportunity to become a real individual. As the supreme body that condenses the body, the Ascension Platform There is no magic weapon that can compare with it.”

"Two souls in one body is not a good thing. Sooner or later, you will be assimilated. Find a physical body as soon as possible."

"Farewell for the last time, Yu Qing."

This inner demon even thought of a name for himself.

It's called Yu Qing.

Yu Qing nodded and said gratefully: "Finally, I have to thank Lord Tianmo."

"But please forgive me for talking too much. You have gone to such great lengths to come to Dayan. Could it be that you are just here to inquire about information about Dayan and then leave?"

"Of course not."

"Originally I was looking for a divine object, but later I wanted to see if he was that old friend."

Wu Gongyu's eyes reminisced: "It's a pity that he looks a lot like him, but he's not him after all."
