evening.
The sun sets westward.
In a simple, friendly, and kind-hearted small village, a group of villagers looked at the two outsiders in front of the thatched house from a distance, their eyes full of fear and hostility that dared not express anger.
"Scholar?"
Outside the thatched house, Li Ziye listened to the crazy woman in front of him and smiled faintly and responded, "Since I came to the Western Region, how could I not ask the Confucian leader to keep an eye on the master of the Tianyu Palace? As for the other people, as the goddess saw, They can't kill me."
"I should have killed you four years ago."
Tantai Jingyue sighed softly and said, "At that time, I was thinking too much."
At that time, if she had directly used the Five Realm Great Practitioners, there would have been no subsequent series of variables.
However, at that time, she did not expect that this guy would be so difficult to deal with.
There are not so many what-ifs in the world, it's just that she was too hesitant to make the right move.
"That's what the goddess said."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Four years ago, if the Confucian leader hadn't said that my trip to the north would be safe, I wouldn't have gone at all. Thinking about it, everything was as expected by the old man."
"Too."
Tantai Jingyue nodded. With this guy's character, four years ago, if the Confucian leader had not assured him that Mobei and his party would not be in danger, he would definitely not have gone north.
After all, the old man is the most powerful!
"Goddess, you can't kill me during this trip anyway, why not go back."
Li Ziye advised, "Let's discuss our grudges from now on. How about we make peace in this foreign country?"
"That's not okay."
Tantai Jingyue shook her head and responded, "Just because I can't kill you today doesn't mean I can't kill you tomorrow. Opportunities will always appear."
"Count on those mallets from the Twelve Temples?"
Li Ziye mocked unceremoniously, "I know that the Heavenly Lady has the scholar's heavenly decree in her hands, but after all, the Heavenly Lady is from Mobei, and they will not be willing to listen to your orders. The Heavenly Lady should know that if the people under her command do so in a shady manner, , basically equal to waste.”
"It's not as bad as you said."
Tantai Jingyue responded helplessly, "It is only because you took them by surprise and took advantage of the intelligence gap to plot against them that Holy Lord Bai Gui and the others appear to be in such a mess. After suffering this loss, they will not be easily used by you again."
She admitted that the Twelve Temples were fooled this time, but that didn't mean those people were trash. It was just that the guy in front of them was too insidious.
A lesson learned. If a similar situation happened again, she believed that Holy Master Bai Gui and the others would not make the same mistake again.
"Are there any guests?"
While the two were talking, a cold voice came from the thatched house behind and asked.
When Li Ziye heard the voice of Holy Lord Yunying, he felt a little relieved and said, "Holy Lord, it's the Tantai Heavenly Girl here."
"The goddess is coming soon, why don't you invite her in? It's really rude." In the thatched house, Holy Master Yunying spoke and scolded softly.
"I will invite the goddess in now."
Li Ziye responded, looked at the crazy woman in front of him, smiled and said, "Tiannu, let's go, go in and say a few words."
"good."
Tantai Jingyue nodded, did not refuse, and walked towards the thatched house ahead.
The two then entered the dilapidated thatched house. Inside the house, the two women looked at each other. There was not much hostility, but only a tacit understanding and calmness.
"How is the Holy Lord's injury?"
Tantai Jingyue asked meaningfully, "I heard that the Holy Master was attacked by those young people from Zhongyuan and was seriously injured. How do you feel now?"
While speaking, Tantai Jingyue deliberately glanced at someone on the side, and the provocation in his words was undisguised.
Li Ziye touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. Even if he was scolded, he did not dare to say anything at this moment.
"It's nothing serious."
Holy Lord Yunying responded and asked, "I wonder why the goddess is here?"
"Come here and hunt down the mastermind behind the assassination of Lord Jialuo last night."
Tantai Jingyue looked at someone and said with a smile, "Last night, Holy Lord Jialuo was attacked by someone. At the same time, I also met an assassin. According to my guess, this was all set up by the Li family's heir. The situation and the people in it were all taken advantage of by him."
Holy Master Yunying heard the provocation in the Tantai Heavenly Lady's words before him, but did not show it. He said calmly, "According to what the Heavenly Lady said, the Li family's legitimate son is really hateful. If I catch him, I will definitely kill him." The legs are broken, and a bad breath is released for Holy Lord Jialuo and the goddess of heaven."
"In that case, thank you Holy Lord."
Tantai Jingyue bowed politely and said, "Holy Lord, I have to seize the time to chase the Li family's legitimate son, so I won't bother you any more. Holy Lord, take good care of yourself."
"You're welcome, Goddess, please go slowly." Holy Master Yunying didn't show any interest, and responded calmly.
"Holy Lord, please go and see the goddess off." Li Ziye took the initiative and asked for orders.
"Go." Holy Lord Yunying nodded and responded.
"Goddess, please."
The two then left the shabby thatched house and walked outside.
"You want to tell me something?"
On the way out of the village, Tantai Jingyue asked.
"If there is a big trouble, we still need to exchange information with the goddess. There will be one more person to think of a solution and there will be more hope."
Li Ziye said solemnly, "A few days ago, I went to the far north and found a monster similar to the underworld in the burial place of the demon clan. According to my speculation, the demon clan merged with the human race. The blood of the strong is a brand new race created. I call them night ghosts. Like Hades, they are divided into black eyes and white eyes. They have extremely strong regeneration capabilities and retain the steel skin ability of the demon clan. However, night ghosts and demons Like other clans, they also don’t like the light.”
As Li Ziye walked, he explained in detail the characteristics of Night Ghost, especially its strengths and weaknesses.
"It happened."
After listening to the description of the person next to her, Tantai Jingyue's face became solemn, and she calmly analyzed, "Trouble, although the night ghost appears in the burial place of the demon clan, but when it comes to the blood of the strong human race, then There must be traces of the human race behind it. There are not so many martial arts experts in the Eight Tribes of Mobei, and they are very scattered, which is not enough to produce night ghosts in large quantities. The situation in the East China Sea is almost similar, so this matter is basically not between the Eight Tribes and What Donghai did, it can be inferred that the mastermind behind it has nothing to do with the three possibilities: the Central Plains royal family, the Confucian sect, and the eight Nanling sects."
"I also believe so."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "Confucianism, although it is possible in terms of ability, but there is no motive, so it can be ruled out."
"Then only the Dashang royal family and the eight Nanling sects are left."
Tantai Jingyue's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said, "These trash are troubles that even the Taoist sect can't deal with. They dare to touch them. They really don't know whether to live or die."
"There are night ghosts in the north and underworld in the south. It's such a troubled time."
Li Ziye sighed with emotion and suggested, "Goddess, how about dividing the work and solving one problem by one person?"
"Ah."
Tantai Jingyue smiled faintly and said, "You are overwhelmed, so you thought of me."
"Kind of."
Li Ziye didn't hide anything and responded, "The underworld alone has already made me very anxious. I really don't have the energy to take care of the night ghosts in the north."
"Just leave it to the demon clan."
Tantai Jingyue reminded, "This kind of monster is indistinguishable from human race to monster race. It is impossible for the monster race to just sit idly by."
"The demon clan is good at martial arts but not wise. I'm afraid they won't be able to solve this problem."
Li Ziye sighed softly and said, "Goddess, if you have time, you should go to the far north. See with your own eyes. Maybe you can think of a solution."
"That's fine."
Tantai Jingyue thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's still some time before the weather gets warmer. I'll go back quickly before it's too late."
Speaking of this, Tantai Jingyue looked at the person in front of her and said with a half-smile, "Master Li told me this because he wants to drive me out of the Western Region. It's really a good plan."
If conspiracy doesn't work, then use conspiracy. It's really not an ordinary insidious thing.
"It is the goddess who takes care of the overall situation. If not, even if I tell the goddess about this, it will be useless."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Goddess, please set off quickly. The journey to the pole is far. If you walk slowly, you may not be able to catch up with Tiannuan when he sends out troops."
Come on, you, without this crazy bitch like you in the Western Region, I can walk sideways!
