Chapter 997: Riding a Tiger and Getting Off
The next day, the mysterious black shadow made a scene at Yue Fengyun's birthday banquet, and the news spread throughout the Eastern Eight Heavens. In particular, the black shadow not only killed Lie Prajna easily, but also almost succeeded in luring and killing the King of Light, Boli Wang. This news was too explosive, making everyone curious and surprised about the black shadow.
"Have you heard that the black shadow killed Lie Prajna, a general, as easily as killing a chicken. Yue Fengyun's daughter was present at the time, but Lie Prajna died before she could even see whether the black shadow was a human or a ghost!"
"Humph, what's the point of killing Lie Prajna? You have to know that even Lie Prajna's father, Boli Wang, was no match for the black shadow. I heard that Boli Wang survived by chance because the Great Heavenly King personally stepped in and stopped the man. Otherwise, the news today would not only be about the death of Lie Prajna, but the death of both father and son!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I heard it too, saying The Great Heavenly King really stepped out to stop him. It is said that even with King Boli's powerful cultivation, he was no match for the mysterious black shadow. King Boli personally admitted that the man was as strong as the Great Heavenly King! "
"The black shadow was too scary. Last night, he could be said to have alarmed all the Heavenly Kings in the Eastern Eight Heavens. Especially the Great Heavenly King and Lord Yue Fengyun, who both stepped out together but failed to stop the black shadow. Who is the black shadow and why did he target King Boli and his son? "
All kinds of rumors spread in the Eastern Eight Heavens, some of which were even outrageous, describing the black shadow as a terrifying demon.
However, the rumors were not groundless after all. Moreover, since King Boli returned, he immediately chose to stay in seclusion, which made everyone know that the black shadow was really powerful and scared the dignified King of Light so much that he didn't even dare to go out.
As the rumors spread, the entire Eastern Eight Heavens also launched a large-scale search. Many troops searched the entire Dongfang Eight Heavens and the nearby mountains to find the black shadow. Especially Yue Fengyun, who was guilty of the death of someone at his banquet, so he mobilized nearly 80% of his troops to search frantically.
However, everyone also saw that such a search was obviously meaningless. After all, the black shadow was so strong that even the Great Heavenly King could not stop it, so what was the point of a group of soldiers searching? All these actions were just a show for King Boli and the people.
Dongfang Eight Heavens was in turmoil because of Huan Yin, but at this time, Huan Yin and Wang Xuantong were sitting leisurely in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in Wang Xuantong's mansion, sipping good tea carefully.
Huan Yin and Wang Xuantong were not without suspicion. After all, one of them was the one who led Lie Prajna to the small garden at that time, and the other was the one who had secretly attacked King Boli and his son many times before. Not to mention them, even Yue Xiaoxian was suspected.
However, Yue Xiaoxian was obviously easy to clear of suspicion. After all, she was a woman, how could she have such a high level of cultivation as the black shadow? She herself was no match for Lie Prajna, how could she kill someone?
As for Wang Xuantong, although his cultivation was high, it was still much worse than the black shadow. The most important thing was that he was drinking with the little kings at the time and had an alibi, so how could it be that black shadow?
As for Huan Yin, his cultivation was not worth mentioning in the eyes of everyone. Moreover, as long as everyone who participated in the banquet remembered that Huan Yin and Lie Prajna were simply the closest brothers in the world, who would suspect him of killing Lie Prajna? In the eyes of everyone, although Huan Yin was suspected, he was the least likely person to do it.
"Brother Wang, you mean, you told them that I was seriously injured by the black shadow and almost died. You accidentally found me during the search last night and rescued me?" After taking a sip of tea, Huan Yin looked at the drizzle outside the pavilion casually and asked.
Wang Xuantong's eyes looking at Huanyin at this moment were completely different from before. After this incident, he knew that Huanyin was hiding too deeply. Just talking about cultivation, even he himself was far from being Huanyin's opponent. What's more, Wang Xuantong never expected that Huanyin would even want to kill King Boli, which was something he himself dared not do. In this way, he could not see through Huanyin even more, and didn't know who Huanyin was and what his purpose was.
With solemnity and caution in his eyes, and even a hint of fear, Wang Xuantong looked at Huanyin for a long time before nodding gently.
Huanyin suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Wang, actually you don't have to look at me like this. I am still the same me, and I haven't changed. As long as Brother Wang is the same as always, I think our cooperation will continue happily."
Cooperation was initiated by Wang Xuantong to find Huanyin. But now Wang Xuantong found that Huanyin, his partner, was completely out of his control. However, Wang Xuantong had no way to terminate the cooperation between the two parties, because they were now completely tied together because of Lie Prajna's death. If he gave up the cooperation, he would not only fail to silence Huan Yin, but also live in the risk of his crime being exposed.
With a bitter smile, Wang Xuantong, who originally thought he could take the absolute initiative in the cooperation with Huan Yin, now had to admit that he was probably forced to accept the fact that he would be forced to take second place.
He looked at Huan Yin for a while, but he didn't take over Huan Yin's words in the end. Instead, he took out a storage bag, pushed it in front of Huan Yin, and changed the subject and said: "This is the reward I promised you for killing Lie Prajna. Also, I will actively work on making you the governor. I believe that with Yue Fengyun's appreciation of you, plus my help, and everyone knows that you have a good relationship with Guangming Tianwang, this should not be difficult. I even thought about suggesting that you take over the governor position vacated by Lie Prajna, after all, you are his best brother."
Nodding, Huan Yin smiled and said: "This method is not bad, but I still like to stay in Yingzhaotian."
Wang Xuantong said: "It's easy to stay in Yingzhaotian, leave it to me. As for your territory and troops, I will find a way. I believe that within a month, everything you deserve will be arranged in place."
Clasped his fists to Wang Xuantong After bowing, Huan Yin had already left: "Thank you, Brother Wang. I guess you have your own things to do, so I won't bother you here."
Wang Xuantong rolled his eyes, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, why do you want to attack King Boli?"
Huan Yin said: "Brother, this is my business, and it doesn't make sense for you to know. But if I really kill him, wouldn't it be a great benefit to you?"
Wang Xuantong shook his head and said: "Brother, King Boli is the younger brother of the Great Heavenly King after all. If you want to attack him, it means you are completely standing on the opposite side of the Great Heavenly King. If you succeed, it's okay, but if you fail, there will be no place for you in the entire Eastern Eight Heavens!"
Huan Yin narrowed his eyes and said in a somewhat cold tone: "I know, Great Heavenly King, I will also attack him, but the time is not ripe yet."
Hearing Huan Yin's words, Wang Xuantong was shocked. If someone else said this, he would definitely think that person was crazy. But at this moment, Huan Yin actually had a kingly temperament, which made Wang Xuantong feel that Huan Yin was not joking.
His heart was beating "bang bang" for a while, and Wang Xuantong's expression finally changed, and he asked: "According to your opinion, will you find a way to attack King Boli again?"
Huan Yin nodded and said: "I will definitely do it."
Wang Xuantong said: "But now King Boli is already scared, and I believe his brother Da Tianwang will also pay great attention to him. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to find a suitable opportunity if I want to take action."
Huan Yin looked at Wang Xuantong and asked: "From what you said, it seems that you have a way?"
Wang Xuantong was silent for a while, and then said: "In the Bright Sky, there is a stunning woman named Yan Yuhong. This woman is mysterious , but I think that if you want to achieve your goal, you have to find a way from this woman. "
Huan Yin was stunned and asked: "Oh? May I ask, brother, who is Yan Yuhong?"
Wang Xuantong shook his head and said: "I am also afraid of this woman. No one really knows what her specific situation is. Or, those who think they know it very well, I think they don't really understand it. I'm afraid you can only check her specific situation yourself."
Nodding, Huan Yin bowed to Wang Xuantong again and said: "Thank you very much!" After speaking, Huan Yin's body shook and disappeared in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Wang Xuantong walked out of the pavilion and looked at the sky, with extremely complicated thoughts in his mind. He knew that since he had a relationship with Huan Yin, it meant that he had stood on the opposite side of the Great Heavenly King. He wanted to regret it, but there was no chance.
So, he now hopes that Huan Yin can succeed. Because he knows that once Huan Yin really succeeds, the Eastern Eight Days will change, and he can also get endless benefits. Moreover, if Huan Yin fails, he will die without a burial place.
"Who are you and what are you planning? Xue Buping... Xue Buping... With your cultivation, you must not be an unknown person. The name Xue Buping should be just a pseudonym." Wang Xuantong murmured.
