Chapter 146: The Return of the Dark Spirit

  No way?

  Xie Ao Yu raised his head to look at the figure that had disappeared into thin air, and cursed inwardly. How did this have anything to do with him again? What's the meaning of "ten years of hard work" anyway? He didn't even know who he was.

  Frustrated!

  Han Yue and others behind him burst out laughing with schadenfreude.

  It's clear they all saw it, the fleeing person's strength is absolutely super abnormal.

  "Scum!"

  "Ignorant plebeians!"

  "Even a lowly plebeian dares to steal our credit, this is retribution, haha..."

  The three young masters of the imperial capital spoke again, laughing loudly as they left, and others also left with envy, admiration, or ridicule.

  Outside the magnificent Jinbi Gate, there were only four people: Xie Ao Yu, Bing Wu, Lang Zhan Tian and Lin Dong Yun.

  They looked at each other in silence.

  "Lao Xie, who have you offended this time?" Lang Zhantian asked.

  This "again" word left Xie Ao Yu speechless.

  Take a look at your own enemies, the weakest is also the terrifying Crown Mercenary Corps, Xie Ao Yu really wants to faint.

  "A decade of hard work, destroyed in an instant. This grudge is going to be huge." Lin Dongyun took a sip of fine wine, and even he himself felt a hint of worry.

  "Ten years? Ten years?" Xie Ao Yu's heart skipped a beat.

  Among the things he came into contact with, the only one related to the two words "ten years" seems to be the Yun family's two brothers. At that time, Yun Weitan was poisoned and said "poisoned for about ten years". Yun Weifeng immediately said who the murderer might be, plotting for ten years.

  Is it cloudy in the field? Is it cloudy in the sky?

  Is the cloud gone with the wind?

  Yun Tian Feng, isn't this a combination of two people's names?

  Xie Ao Yu wants to scold someone, but after messing around with his emotions, he still gets entangled in the grudges of the imperial family. No wonder he always feels that the two brothers of the Yun family are not like ordinary people. He didn't think about it that way either. It turns out that these two people, one is the Tian Luo Emperor and the other is the Tian Luo King.

  "You two come with us to the Qin's house," Xie Ao Yu said.

  "Don't disturb this handsome guy's plan to pick up chicks, the 100th target has appeared, I'm going to go confess!"

  "I'm going to have a drink." Lin Dongyun said.

  The two of them also left.

  Only Xie Ao Yu and Bing Wu were walking hand in hand on the street, discovering that everywhere they went, people were giving them strange looks, causing Xie Ao Yu to smile bitterly.

  He fought with Zhou Zhenwang once and can be said to have a reputation throughout the imperial capital.

  Now that mysterious person's cry when he left has spread Xie Ao Yu's name to everyone's ears, it's hard for him to imagine, and even harder to think of a name.

  "Thank you, great master, sign an autograph."

  At some point, the little devil Qin Yue appeared in front of the two people.

  "Go away, I'm in a bad mood today." Xie Ao Yu said with a roll of his eyes.

  "What's wrong? I'll help you take down Ice Dance sister, and you can have some fun?" Qin Yueyi asked.

  "Draw the moon!"

  Ice dance is embarrassing.

  The two beauties started fooling around again.

  Xie Ao Yu walked into the Qin's house and saw that Qin Sheng Kai, Qin De Gu, and Qin Yue Nan were all seated in the hall, each staring at him with an unusual gaze.

  "Little brother, come and chat." Qin Yuenan beckoned.

  Xie Ao Yu stepped into the hall.

  "Don't ask me, please let the three of you answer my question first." Xie Ao Yu was the first to speak, forcing Qin Sheng Kai, who wanted to speak, to shut his mouth. "Who can tell me what kind of person this guy is, who destroyed my decade-long hard work in an instant?"

  "A man who has been hiding in the empire for over a decade, plotting to overthrow it. His mind is as deep as the ocean and his methods are absolutely ingenious, I have never seen anyone like him in my life. His name is Ge Mingde." Qin Shengkai replied.

  "What?!"

  Xie Ao Yu suddenly stood up.

  Never had that once, Xie Ao Yu's heart beat so fast, not because of a woman's heartbeat, confession, but because of that person... Ge Ming De!

  "Do you know this person?" Qin Shengkai and Qin Degu exchanged a glance, both looking astonished.

  "You don't know?" Xie Ao Yu was also a bit surprised.

  The three members of the Qin family shook their heads.

  Few people knew about Ge Mingde's true identity, no wonder he could hide in the Tian Luo Empire for over a decade, secretly plotting a massive conspiracy. If not for his own words, the Tian Luo Empire might have really collapsed because of it.

  "Ge Mingde is the one who single-handedly pushed the Black Lotus Cult from a small organization within a minor kingdom to a continental-level organization, the man behind the scenes of the Black Lotus Cult!" Xie Ao Yu said word by word.

  Dead silence.

  The three members of the Qin family were also shocked and stared with wide eyes.

  "Are you sure?" Qin Shengkai said in a low voice.

  "I know Ge Mingde, who single-handedly pushed the Black Lotus Cult to its current state. He was originally a fallen noble of a kingdom, and as for the person you're talking about, I think he's also a mastermind. Thinking of their characteristics, it's no wonder that Ge Mingde was able to bring the Black Lotus Cult to this point with his abilities."

  As for the decade-long painstaking effort, Ge Mingde, who set up a shocking grand plan, is also a mastermind with superb means. The two people are surprisingly similar, and they are essentially the same person.

  Xie Ao Yu didn't understand why Ge Ming De had been hiding in Tian Luo Empire for ten years.

  Is it just to overthrow the Tian Luo Empire?

  It shouldn't be that difficult to overthrow an empire, there are many ways to do it, or perhaps they want to replace the Tian Luo royal family and control the Tian Luo Empire, if so, it's too terrifying.

  "Little brother, do you know what Ge Mingde has done?" Qin Yuenan said.

  "It's definitely not a good thing, and it just so happens to be ruined by me." Xie Ao Yu found out that it was Ge Ming De, and he wasn't too worried anymore. After all, they had already become sworn enemies with the Hei Lian Holy Religion.

  Qin Yuenan sighed and said, "The Tianluo imperial family is sparse in population. Even if it was Ge Mingde who did it, during these days, according to the intelligence we received, Ge Mingde secretly ordered the pregnant noble concubines to abort their children, with no less than five or six cases. It's extremely vicious and cruel, making one's hair stand on end. He even wanted to secretly make a noble concubine carry his child."

  Vicious!

  "What was the result?"

  "The result is that the imperial concubine is gone." Qin Yuenan said lightly, it was obvious that what he meant by "gone" was not that Ge Mingde had gotten rid of her, but rather that the Tian Luo royal family had.

  Qin Shengkai's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, staring at Xie Ao Yu, "What surprised me the most is still you, actually able to remove the severe poison that even Lianyao Dazongshi couldn't detect. I wonder if Ao Yu can tell us what method he used? Don't tell me it's another gift from Ziyan Dashi, she wouldn't give him all sorts of antidotes and spiritual elixirs, would she?"

  Hearing him say this, it's clear that Qin Yue didn't mention anything about the Medicine God's Finger.

  Xie Ao Yu looked at Qin Yue Nan and saw that he was smiling, saying: "The things I promised you, even if Old Man asks, I won't say a word."

  "In that case, let's just drop it." Xie Ao Yu said with a smile.

  Qin Shengkai and Qin Degu rolled their eyes fiercely.

  At this time, someone came to report from outside.

  The emperor has invited you.

  The two brothers of the Qin family, Qin Shengkai and Qin Degu, tidied up their clothes and hastily left. Today's events can be said to have had a profound impact. They waited in the main hall, waiting for summons.

  "Second Brother, have you found out who poisoned you?" Xie Ao Yu said.

  "It's already getting a bit suspicious." Qin Yuenan's expression turned very unpleasant, "Although those people have already given up on him, but he thinks he's superior and doesn't think so at all. He deliberately went to find clues, and I found some threads that point to Joress. You also know that Joress has a unique status in the Pasca family, his mother comes from an ancient family, so his position is very high. If I want to find trouble for him, I must be careful."

  Xie Ao Yu said in a low voice, "If it involves Qiao Li Si, then Second Brother will have to be careful of one person. This person's ability in plotting is absolutely expected to become the second Ge Ming De."

  "Oh?" Qin Yuenan knew that someone who could make Xie Ao Yu say this must be absolutely extraordinary.

  "He's just Joel's follower... Solstice!" Xie Ao Yu said, "This person is very good at plotting and scheming. Last time outside Tro City, if he wasn't too arrogant and looked down on me, I'm afraid I would have been calculated by him already. Moreover, he has the Ba Suan Holy Sword and possesses the Ba Suan Secret Chant, making him a very difficult person to deal with."

  Nodding, Qin Yuenan said: "I will pay attention to him."

  Xie Ao Yu said: "There's one more thing, Second Brother investigated and found that the person behind the scenes is Qiao Li Si, which makes me think of a somewhat frightening connection."

  "What is it?" Qin Yuenan asked.

  "Let me ask you, Second Brother, do you know the characteristics of the Nine-Colored Spiritual Snake King?" Xie Ao Yu saw Qin Yue Nan shake his head in ignorance, so he explained, "The Nine-Colored Spiritual Snake King is quite special. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there can only be one Nine-Coloured Spiritual Snake King, and all Seven-Coloured Spiritual Snakes are controlled by the Nine-Coloured Spiritual Snake King. As far as I know, the Nine-Coloured Spiritual Snake King in the Imperial Capital comes from the Hei Lian Holy Sect."

  Qin Yuenan raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying that the Black Lotus Sect has infiltrated into the Pasca family?"

  Xie Ao Yu nodded.

  If the Pasa family was infiltrated, then was the Qin family also infiltrated?

  No one dares to pat their chest and say it's definitely not there.

  "It seems I need to redesign how to take action now. At least, I have to pull out all the possible internal traitors of the Qin family." Qin Yuenan made a decision.

  Xie Ao Yu said: "If you need me, Second Brother just say so."

  The headquarters of the Black Lotus Sect, a secret chamber unknown to anyone

  Gemingde, wounded and returned, sat upright on his bed, healing himself.

  An old man stood quietly beside him, his eyes shining with ardent gaze, as if looking at a god, and he couldn't help but prostrate himself on the ground.

  After a long time, Ge Mingde finally opened his eyes.

  "Old master, you've finally returned." The old man fell to his knees with a thud.

  "Get up." Ge Mingde said faintly, "In the ten years I wasn't in the Holy Sect, did something happen?"

  The old man said with tears streaming down his face: "Old master, when you were not around, Miss suffered a lot. Although she is the Black-faced Holy Maiden, no one listened to her orders. They all pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, and even tried every means to squeeze her out of the headquarters."

  There was no anger on Ge Mingde's face, his complexion was extremely calm.

  "It was Yu Jie and Gu Yunying who did it together." Ge Mingde said.

  "It is they." The old man replied.

  Ge Mingde's mouth corners rose with a hint of a smile, "It seems that Yu Xiang has grown up."

  "What?" The old man was stunned.
