A big turmoil was settled. The civil and military ministers returned to the court, while Xie Yunxiao and Qin Zheng returned to the Humble Garden.
"Master, how did you know that the masked man had arranged a chain game?" Qin Zheng asked.
Xie Yunxiao understood that if Qin Zheng knew the reasons for the mutation of those strange people, when he heard that Prince Ning went to Tingwei Mansion, he would not be able to help but think of something.
But Xie Yunxiao doesn't plan to tell Qin Zheng these secrets yet, because they are too involved.
"We put a long line to catch big fish and found the Masked Man's lair. At that time, they were surrounded by Xuanjia Guards. After a big battle, the Masked Man barely managed to break out. This all seems to be okay, but who is the Masked Man? The power of his mask is unfathomable. The courtyard was limited at that time and Xuanjia Guard couldn't use it at all. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be that difficult for him to escape!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Hearing this, Qin Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "I understand. He deliberately escaped with difficulty to let us know that he was also in danger and had no time to care about his subordinates. But because of this, instead, Exposed myself!"
"He was actually not exposed. Although I felt there was a problem at the time, I didn't think about it yet. It wasn't until I heard everyone talking about it on the street today that the king went to the Tingwei Mansion with the civil and military ministers, and that's when I realized it!"
Xie Yunxiao was frightened when he thought of this. Fortunately, the masked man's plan did not succeed.
"This masked man is also from the Blood Moon Sect. Is he a subordinate of Xiao Mo? If so, everything that happened today is most likely Xiao Mo's plan!" Qin Zheng said.
Xie Yunxiao shook his head: "This person's status in the Blood Moon Sect is definitely no less than that of Xiao Mo. He and Xiao Mo can't get together!"
Qin Zheng did not doubt Xie Yunxiao's judgment, he was just thinking, if the masked man and Xiao Mo were not on the same side, then what benefits would he get from coming to Xianyang, the capital of Ning State, to lay out such a big picture and kill King Ning?
The hustle and bustle of the day has passed, and the excitement of the night has begun.
Because it was late winter, there were fewer people taking to the streets, but the city of Xianyang was still bustling and lively.
This is the backyard of a teahouse. This place is full of extremely elegantly decorated private rooms. It is a place where only wealthy people can come.
At night, almost no one comes to drink tea, let alone come to this private room.
But at this time, the lights were on in the private room in the far corner.
Xiao Mo walked slowly from the front and looked at the brightly lit room with a sharp light in his eyes. He took a deep breath and then walked forward.
When he came to the door of the house, he didn't knock on the door and just backed away from the door.
A cold wind flowed into the room, the lights flickered slightly, and a masked man sat next to the round table. He sat facing the door, so Xiao Mo opened the door and came face to face with him.
The moment their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly.
If Xie Yunxiao were here, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that the masked person is the masked person of the layout.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Mo's voice was filled with inexplicable coldness.
The masked man said calmly: "You came to me and asked me what I meant. I also want to ask you what you mean!"
"You know what I said!" Xiao Mo's voice was filled with anger.
"You mean to kill Prince Ning?" the mask said.
Xiao Mo glanced at the masked man and said, "What else?"
"You should know why I want to kill him. The seven countries are competing for the throne. Now Ningguo is gradually becoming stronger. If Ningguo becomes the most powerful one, the balance will be disrupted!" said the masked man.
Xiao Mo smiled disdainfully, "I can still see your thoughts. If Ning Guo continues to become stronger, even Chu State will not be able to contain it. It is very likely that Ning Guo will be the one who dominates the world. You don't want Ning Guo to be able to control it." Unify the world, but Chu State can’t do it either!”
"You've heard of the Tianji Atlas, right?" the masked man said.
Xiao Mo said: "If it weren't for the Tianji Atlas, would Guigu be wiped out back then?"
How shocked would it be if Xie Yunxiao were here?
"The Six Nations besieged Gui Valley because of the Tianji Atlas. There were rumors that the Tianji Atlas predicted that the Human Emperor who would dominate the world would appear, and the Tianji Atlas is in Gui Valley!" Masked Humanity said.
Xiao Mo sighed and said, "Yes, but in the end he only went to the middle of Yunmeng Mountain and never saw the Tianji Atlas. I was thinking that it was just a conspiracy!"
"No, the leader said, that may not be a legend, but there is a more terrifying speculation. The first generation Guiguzi who founded Guigu is not dead, and the secret atlas is in his hand!" the masked man said.
Xiao Mo glanced at the masked man and said, "So the prediction about the Tianji Atlas is true?"
"If nothing else happens, it is very likely to be true, and the time speculated in the Tianji Atlas is now!" the masked man said.
When Xiao Mo heard this, his starry eyes suddenly brightened up, and there was a sense of aura flowing around him. For a moment, the room was filled with invisible energy.
"No, if this is really the case, it is impossible for the first-generation Guiguzi to cause fire and cause Guigu to be destroyed. And when Guigu was destroyed, if the first-generation Guiguzi was really still alive, why did he watch Guigu being destroyed and remain indifferent? ?" Xiao Mo said.
The masked man said: "This is also what puzzles the leader. When Guigu destroyed his family, the leader watched from a distance. He thought he would wait for the first generation of Guiguzi, but in the end he returned without success!"
"If the prophecy is true, you came to assassinate King Ning not because you want Ning to dominate the world, but for the so-called balance. What you said just now is nonsense!" Xiao Mo said.
The masked man snorted coldly. He said everything that needed to be said. As for whether Xiao Mo believed it or not, that was Xiao Mo's business.
"What, you were right?" Xiao Mo said coldly.
The masked man said: "You can do whatever you want!"
"Hmph, you know that I am running Ningguo, but I came here to cause trouble. Whether it is for the so-called prophecy of the Tianji Atlas or for other purposes, you must give an explanation tonight, right?" Xiao Mo said.
"What do you want to say?" the masked man said calmly. He didn't care about Xiao Mo's feelings and reactions at all.
"Now that you're here, I want to see how far your cultivation has come after I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Xiao Mo stepped out, raised his right hand, and the power of law rolled out.
The masked man raised his palm to attack, and the distance between the two was less than half a foot. At this time, an extremely terrifying zone was formed between them.
With a bang, Xiao Mo and the masked man both involuntarily stepped back.
Obviously, under this attack, the two of them were evenly matched.
Xiao Mo paused for a moment, then struck again. His right hand formed a palm and struck out. The palm force gathered at one point and struck out directly from the masked man's face.
The masked man took a step away from Xiao Mo's attacking hand, raised his hand from left to right, and pointed at Xiao Mo's arm.
Xiao Mo knew that if he hit his arm, the entire arm would be destroyed.
At this time, if Xiao Mo stepped back, he would have already arrived outside the house.
He knew that once he retreated outside, he would be defeated.
But the current situation did not allow him to retreat.
Moreover, Xiao Mo himself knew that in such a situation, the masked man had to hold back, otherwise he could be beaten out directly.
"Among the four of us, you are still ranked second!" Xiao Mo's expression was not very good.
The masked man said nothing and turned back to the house.
At this time, the door of the house also closed automatically.
Xiao Mo stood in the courtyard for a long time when a cold wind hit him. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Each of the four guardians of the Blood Moon Sect is at the pinnacle of the Eight Realms, and they have mastered certain means to exert power beyond the Eight Realms.
In the world of mortals, such power was already very powerful, but Xiao Mo knew that within the Blood Moon Sect, they were nothing at all.
The reason why they became the Four Guardians was because they were needed to do things.
Those truly powerful people are all in the Blood Moon Sect and never come out. Apart from practicing, they seem to have nothing else to do.
But if it was just about practicing and improving one's cultivation, Xiao Mo would also find it boring. To stir up troubles and control the wind and rain in this mortal world was his favorite feeling.
Of course, if one day he breaks through to the Ninth Realm, whether he will still think like this is another matter.
Under the cover of night, Xie Yunxiao stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the dim sky. The cold wind howled and made his hair sway.
"Looking like this, the real winter is coming. Although I have been to Xianyang often before, I have never seen snow in Xianyang!"
Xie Yunxiao relaxed his mind. At this time, he was in an extremely mysterious state. Naturally, all living things around him were clearly perceived by Xie Yunxiao.
Just then, a snowflake fell and hit his face, then slowly melted into water and flowed down his cheek.
This feeling is very mysterious.
For a moment, Xie Yunxiao seemed to be at the center of the universe, where he could see the evolution of heaven and earth, and the creation of all things.
"It's snowing!" Qin Zheng's cheering voice came. This was his first winter after returning to Ningguo, and it was also the first snow he saw in Xianyang.
He was like a child, jumping around in the yard.
In fact, Qin Zheng is not very old.
Of course Xie Yunxiao is not old either, but as a person in two lives, some things are different after all.
"The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are the rules of heaven and earth that have not changed for thousands of years. The resurrection of all things in spring, the heat of summer, the harvest of autumn, and the desolation of winter are all the rules of heaven and earth. If we can understand these rules, And if you realize it and use it for yourself, immortality may not be difficult!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Immortality is a topic that remains unchanged throughout the ages. Practitioners will have certain thoughts on this aspect, but there are only a few who can enter the Nine Realms.
Of course, Xie Yunxiao has already learned from Li Yuxuan that the Nine Realms are divided into many levels. It is not that one can live forever after entering the Nine Realms. God is still too harsh on the human race after all.
"Master, let's just watch the snow and don't talk about this!" Qin Zheng was very childish at this time, but Xie Yunxiao's heart was filled with warmth.
Watching snow is a very romantic thing for lovers, but for relatives, it is a different state of mind.
