Chapter 92

Yunzhou.

You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan rushed out of the abyss and returned to the surface.

Everything underground was so shocking that Sang Yuanyuan couldn't regain her senses for a long time.

"You Wuming, tell me, what is that thing down there?"

She knew that it was useless to ask, but she still couldn't help but mutter.

You Wuming: "…"

She wanted to kill him.

Such a cute Little Sang Guo, with a pair of misty eyes, pouting her pretty red lips, and using such a gentle and pleasant voice to ask him.

How could he let down such trust and dependence?

If he said 'I don't know', then he might as well just kill him.

"That is the root of all evil."

You Wuming slightly puffed out his chest, his expression calm and his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he had a card up his sleeve.

"Oh … I see!" She nodded heavily.

He hugged this distracted Little Guozi and slowly walked forward.

A pair of pitch-black eyes slowly rolled around. 'What exactly is that thing?'

He also wanted to find someone to ask.

Sang Yuanyuan gathered her spirit and tried her best to expel the shocking scene underground from her mind.

She realized that she had some residual effects, and everything she looked at now felt small.

The palace was small, the passageway was small, and even the square walls of the palace looked very small.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the matter of Han Shaoling again.

Although they were enemies, the death of Huangfu Jun and Han Shaoling was not a good thing for the entire Yunzhou.

… …

This was Yunzhou's King City. Very quickly, the guards noticed this pair of man and woman with abnormal expressions.

Yun Xuzhou heard the news and hurried over.

At this moment, eleven days had passed since the glacier collapsed. Yun Xuzhou's footsteps were hurried, and before she arrived, her voice traveled over —

"A small avalanche actually trapped the two of you for more than ten days?"

She quickly walked over and her large eyes looked left and right, dismissing her attendants.

"The Eastern State has sent people here, and they are still rummaging under the ice fog valley.

You guys are lucky to have encountered the movement of the glacier that occurs once every 500 years. All the evidence has been destroyed. "Yun Xuzhou leaned forward with his hands behind his back and smiled.

"Glacier displacement?" Sang Yuanyuan's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh." Yun Xuzhou nodded. "The experience of the old Iceman.

Their ancestors had made a living in the glaciers, so they were very familiar with the ice and snow. With just a few glances, they would be able to tell the age of the glacier.

According to their experience, the obvious geological faults in the ice are about once every 500 years — a large-scale glacier displacement. "

No wonder he sent her and You Wuming straight to the bottom of the Earth.

"Huangfu Jun had an accident in Yunzhou. Did Huangfu Xiong make things difficult for you?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

Yun Xuzhou smiled and waved his hand. "I don't know anything. What can he do to me?

Does he dare to fight with me in this world of ice and snow? "

Yunzhou's vile and extremely cold climate made the Yunzhou army invincible — if they only defended and didn't attack.

"Yun Xuzhou, do you know what's under here?" You Wuming suddenly asked gloomily.

"Under what?" Yun Xuzhou looked down. "Foundation?

Frozen earth? "

"Further down."

"Ice." Yun Xuzhou suddenly smiled. "It's all ice.

I once thought that if one day, Yunzhou's climate changes and warms up, this land will probably become a lake or a swamp.

It's fine. Heaven never seals off all roads. When the time comes, we can just build it into a land on water. "

Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming looked at each other without batting an eyelid.

It seemed that she really didn't know that there was a big guy underground.

The two of them didn't plan to tell Yun Xuzhou.

"Oh right." You Wuming leaned forward and put his hand to his lips. He tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Have you heard of Yun Zhi Zhuo?"

Yun Xuzhou narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. "I've never heard of this name.

The Yun family hasn't ranked the people with the character 'Zhi' in hundreds of years. If they were to bestow a surname … Oh right, when we investigated the Tian Tan Saint last time, I have the list and resumes of the people who were given the surname Yun. Should we check it now? "

Sang Yuanyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Zhuo.

It means to wash.

If they were to bestow a name … the meaning wouldn't be good. "

It was easy to make people think that it meant to cleanse the Yun royal family.

How unlucky!

She paced two steps and pointed at her forehead. "If I remember correctly, this word seems to mean to get rid of evil."

Get rid of the evil of the Yun family?!

Tsk, that's even more impressive.

"Interesting." You Wuming pursed his lips and smiled.

If they were to bestow a surname, the Rites Officer would have strictly checked the words. It was impossible to make such a big mistake.

This kind of name was too reactionary. How could the Rites Officer, who was particular about words, miss it?

Therefore, this person was very likely to use the surname Wang privately.

It wasn't that there weren't people who secretly used the surname of the royal family.

However, this kind of thing usually only happened in the corners of the mountains that didn't have much interaction with the outside world. They could also establish a dynasty or something. The heavens were high and the Emperor was far away. No one could control them.

Thinking about it this way, the Temple of Heaven seemed to be such an independent place.

It was an organization that specialized in praying for fortune and blessings. It didn't have any real power. It recruited people based on the word 'fate'. Although it would submit a list of people to the Imperial Palace every year, no one ever checked it.

Yun Zhi Zhuo was in the Spiritual Brilliance Realm. His age couldn't be measured.

So he was' hidden 'in the Temple of Heaven just like that?

If Sang Yuanyuan hadn't suddenly realized that this name was a bit inappropriate, she was afraid that everyone would only think that this was a person who had been bestowed the surname of the royal family in his early years and happened to leave no records.

"Could it be a fake name?" Yun Xuzhou asked.

Sang Yuanyuan recalled Yun Zhi Zhuo's voice and smile and slowly shook his head. "It doesn't look like it.

When he was on the verge of death, he mentioned his name very naturally and smoothly. There wasn't the slightest bit of awkwardness between his eyebrows. This shows that he has a strong sense of identity with this name. He should have been using it all along.

Moreover, the words' Yun Zhi Zhuo 'are indeed written on his identity token. "

Yun Xuzhou let out a long breath. "Then I'll first arrange for people to check the list of bestowed surnames and find this name or a similar or homophonic name.

If there isn't any, please give me this identity token, King You Zhou. I'll take it and ask the Temple of Heaven for an explanation!

This person stole the surname of the royal family and humiliated the Yun family. His intentions are worthy of death!

I'd like to ask why the Heavenly Altar is shielding him! "

Yun Xuzhou indeed had the right to make trouble.

Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming looked at each other and nodded slightly.

While Yun Xuzhou was arranging people, Sang Yuanyuan secretly grabbed You Wuming's belt. "Give me the broken mirror."

You Wuming raised his long eyebrows and glanced at Yun Xuzhou without batting an eyelid.

Then, he took out the broken mirror and held it in Sang Yuanyuan's hand.

Previously, she and You Wuming had already used the broken mirror to check on Yun Zhi Zhuo.

Unfortunately, after trying several times, they could only see him sitting alone in a dark secret room and cultivating. Yun Zhi Zhuo really lived like an ascetic monk.

If they checked together with the old eunuch Jiang Yi, they would see many people in a dark underground palace, surrounding an altar and casting spells.

The rest of the people were wearing black cloaks and metal masks, so they couldn't recognize their identities.

The clues stopped here. There was no way to leave this closed loop. If they checked Jiang Yi, he was casting spells; if they checked Yun Zhi Zhuo, he was meditating; if they checked Yun Zhi Zhuo and Jiang Yi, they were casting spells again. There was no way to break through.

Yun Zhi Zhuo, Kang Yanji, Huangfu Jun, and the others didn't have any interactions. After investigating, he was always alone, meditating in a secret room.

Therefore, Sang Yuanyuan didn't associate this person with the younger generation's Yun Xuzhou at all.

She subconsciously ignored it.

Now that Yun Xuzhou said that she wanted to use this matter to make trouble, Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming naturally had to confirm it first and eliminate her suspicion.

Sang Yuanyuan held the broken mirror that You Wuming handed to her, closed her eyes, and silently recalled Yun Zhi Zhuo.

She thought, "Yun Zhi Zhuo, Yun Xuzhou."

An image appeared in front of her eyes.

Sang Yuanyuan's heart suddenly jumped.

She was actually prepared for these two people to have no interactions.

You Wuming saw Sang Yuanyuan's expression change. She immediately narrowed her eyes and slowly condensed black flames on her hand that was hanging by her side.

Yun Xuzhou didn't know that she had been targeted by a poisonous snake with flames. After she arranged for her subordinates to check the list, she walked towards Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming while thinking about what to do.

"Sang …"

Yun Xuzhou was suddenly stunned.

She saw You Wuming's lips curl into a gentle smile, and his tall and thin body blocked in front of Sang Yuanyuan.

Yun Xuzhou: "King Youzhou?"

You Wuming said softly, "Don't move. Wait."

Her voice was light and she was eager to try.

Yun Xuzhou: "?"

If Shang Ming was here, he would know that his master was preparing to kill someone.

Yun Xuzhou was confused. She turned her body slightly and wanted to look around You Wuming to Sang Yuanyuan behind him.

"What's wrong with Sang Guo?"

Suddenly, she felt a chill crawl up her heart and back.

Yun Xuzhou's hair stood on end. She turned her head very slowly to look at You Wuming.

However, he was still smiling with a warm expression. His slightly curved black eyes were filled with coldness that could freeze her to the bone.

Only then did Yun Xuzhou realize that You Wuming wasn't just saying that casually.

Yun Xuzhou took a step back and frowned. "I won't move, okay?"

After a long while, a small hand finally reached out from behind You Wuming and tugged at You Wuming's sleeve.

You Wuming turned around and looked at her calmly.

Sang Yuanyuan met his gaze, and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. This man's expression and aura seemed to be saying to her, "It doesn't matter who you want to kill. Leave everything to me."

She couldn't help but follow his sleeve to find his calloused hand and clasp it with her five fingers.

You Wuming was shocked. He hurriedly retracted the black flame in his palm and held her hand instead.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yun Xuzhou.

Sang Yuanyuan recalled the scene she saw just now and walked in front of Yun Xuzhou.

Yun Xuzhou had already realized that something was wrong. She stared at Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming with slight vigilance.

"Princess Sang, did you hear something about me?"

She raised her chin slightly and sneered, "I, Yun Xuzhou, have been magnanimous all my life. Except for hiding the assassination of the Eastern Prefecture's royal family for you, there is nothing I can't tell you!"

Sang Yuanyuan said seriously, "Prince Regent, you misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding." Yun Xuzhou's face was filled with anger. "King You Wuming was full of murderous intent just now. It was not a misunderstanding."

Sang Yuanyuan sighed and said, "Let's talk inside the hall."

Yun Xuzhou angrily led Sang Yuanyuan and Prince Regent into the study.

She was still angry. "King You Wuming, I know that your skills are superb, but Yunzhou is not afraid of you.

If you attack me here, I can guarantee that you will never be able to take Princess Sang out of Yunzhou safely! "

Sang Yuanyuan quickly put on a smile. "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Listen to me."

Yun Xuzhou sat down heavily on the armchair.

She was about to get angry, but Sang Yuanyuan's shameless way of addressing her made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Who wants to marry Sang Bujin!"

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't marry him."

Sang Yuanyuan lowered his head and smiled. Then, he said seriously, "Prince Regent, listen to me. You have crossed paths with Yun Zhichuo."

Yun Xuzhou's eyes widened. "Oh?!"

Sang Yuanyuan recalled the scene he saw just now and said, "The main hall was dimly lit. There were many curtains hanging from the ceiling, and the environment was solemn.

You were far away from him and didn't talk to him. There were many people in between you. They were dressed either rich or noble. Most of them were women, and the men were weak. They should be the Yun royal family.

I wonder if Prince Regent has any impression of this? "

Yun Xuzhou slowly narrowed her eyes. "What else?"

Sang Yuanyuan shook his head. "No."

"Where did this news come from?"

Yun Xuzhou asked curiously. "Since you know that I have appeared in the same place as Yun Zhichuo, how can there be no more news?"

Sang Yuanyuan rubbed his forehead. "It's a long story. It's a mysterious psychic technique."

"Oh …" Yun Xuzhou sighed. "How accurate is it?"

"There shouldn't be too much of a deviation."

Sang Yuanyuan didn't have any intersection with Yunzhou. The butterfly effect brought about by her 'resurrection' shouldn't affect Yunzhou.

However, such a scene had no beginning or end, and its characteristics weren't obvious. It was really a little difficult.

Buddhist temples, altars, ancestral temples, and Taoist temples all had such a hall.

"Am I wearing an official's uniform?" Yun Xuzhou asked.

"No." Sang Yuanyuan said, "Your clothes are formal, but they are all casual."

"Then it's not a sacrifice."

After a moment of silence, Yun Xuzhou suddenly hissed and raised his eyes. "Sang Guo!

You're saying that this arrogant person who insulted my royal family actually sneaked into my side, and I didn't know! "

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" This reaction arc was too long.

"Yun Zhichuo isn't simple …" Yun Xuzhou knocked on the table. "It seems that it's not as simple as cursing and insulting. He and the power behind him want to overthrow my Yun family.

Heh, interesting, interesting!

It's obvious that they're doing all kinds of evil tricks behind my back. They're making it seem like they're righteous people who want to punish my rebellious family! "

"What, are you looking down on the beliefs of villains?" Sang Yuanyuan laughed.

"Pfft!" Yun Xuzhou's mood was completely relaxed. He said angrily, "You're still laughing!

Just as you said earlier, this person was able to mingle with the disciples of my Yun Clan. How shocking is this!

If he brought a bomb and caught me off guard, tsk … My scalp will go numb!

Come, draw the hall you saw for me! "

Yun Xuzhou threw the pen and paper in front of Sang Yuanyuan.

Sang Yuanyuan: "…"

Drawing was a little difficult.

She picked up the pen and recalled the scene in her mind. Little by little, she sketched out the hall in detail.

Halfway through the drawing, a personal guard suddenly rushed in without any notice.

Yun Xuzhou frowned. With a swoosh, he hid the 'crime scene' that Sang Yuanyuan had drawn halfway.

The personal guard cupped his hands and said anxiously, "Regent, something bad has happened. The poison in His Majesty's body is acting up. He's dying!"

"What?!" Yun Xuzhou stood up abruptly.

This personal guard was the person she sent to 'take care' of Yun Xuyang.

Back then, Yun Xuyang had protected and indulged the murderer of a young girl just to satisfy his perverted voyeurism. After the incident, Yun Xuzhou locked him up in the imperial prison and sent her most capable personal guard to keep an eye on him.

A few days ago, You Wuming sent the antidote for the spiritual parasite. Yun Xuzhou let Yun Xuyang take it and he vomited a lot of blood parasites. At that time, he was almost fully recovered.

Yun Xuzhou had planned to ask You Wuming to concoct more antidotes so that she could save the Yun family on a large scale. Who knew that the personal guard would bring such a shocking piece of news?

"Yun Xuyang?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

Yun Xuzhou hurriedly nodded, her eyes turning red. "Quick, let's go take a look!"

The three of them hurried to the prison where Yun Xuyang was locked up.

Yun Xuyang's treatment was no better than the other prisoners. Other than being locked up in solitary confinement, he was treated the same as everyone else.

At this moment, the head imperial physician had already rushed to the prison and was checking on Yun Xuyang's condition.

He was lying on a wooden bed covered with straw. His face was deathly pale, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were completely pale.

Large mouthfuls of blood gushed out of his mouth.

When the head imperial physician saw Yun Xuzhou, he hurriedly stepped forward. "Royal Regent!

This is the result of the spiritual parasite's sudden outbreak!

This old official didn't know the cause and didn't dare to use the antidote rashly! "

"Didn't you say that the parasite poison in his body was basically eliminated?" Yun Xuzhou's voice was calm, but her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists.

The white-haired head imperial physician immediately knelt on the ground. "This old official is incompetent!

I've let down the Royal Regent's trust! "

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Sang Yuanyuan calmly asked, "Head imperial physician, did you bring the antidote?"

"Yes." The head imperial physician took out a medicine box that he had brought with him.

Sang Yuanyuan passed it to You Wuming.

She wanted him to check whether the antidote had been tampered with.

She and You Wuming had a tacit understanding and could understand each other's intentions with just a glance.

You Wuming took the antidote and directly refined it.

Sang Yuanyuan calmed herself down and tossed out the Face Flower, which landed beside Yun Xuyang. The thin Spirit Containment Vine crawled toward Yun Xuyang's chest and suddenly dived into his body.

Sang Yuanyuan closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.

She saw that Yun Xuyang's heart was densely packed with tiny Blood Nematodes. It was obvious that they were larvae that had just hatched and urgently needed energy to develop. Therefore, they were crazily gnawing at Yun Xuyang's vitality, causing his condition to worsen rapidly.

His meridians were filled with broken eggshells.

"Yun Xuzhou!" Yun Xuyang spat out blood as he cried and cursed. "You stinky liar!

There's no way I can recover! It's impossible!

You're deliberately harming me! You want to kill me and then take away my position as the King of Yun State! Wuwuwu … "

Yun Xuzhou's expression was cold and solemn as she waited for the result.

After a while, You Wuming retracted the black flame in his palm and said, "There's no problem with the antidote."

Sang Yuanyuan also opened her eyes. "They are all new Gu, there are no old Gu left in his body.

The antidote is effective. "

"Bullshit!" Yun Xuyang spat out another mouthful of blood. "Don't think I don't know!

You and Yun Xuzhou worked together to harm me and take away my position!

The old ancestor said that this is a curse from the heavens on our Yun Clan!

There's no way I can recover!

Yun Xuzhou, don't forget the oath you made in front of the old ancestor. Even if you kill me, you will never be able to ascend to the throne! "

Sang Yuanyuan looked at Yun Xuzhou. "Feed him the antidote first. Otherwise, he will really die."

Hearing this, Yun Xuzhou took the antidote and sat on the wooden bed. She opened Yun Xuyang's mouth and poured the antidote down his throat without hesitation.

Yun Xuyang struggled madly as if he was struggling for his life. Unfortunately, his body was too weak. He couldn't resist at all in front of Yun Xuzhou, a Spiritual Brilliance cultivator.

"You murderers!

Murderers! "

Yun Xuyang cried. "The old ancestor said that there's no way I can recover! The antidote is a lie! It will only make me die faster!

Yun Xuzhou, you're deliberately harming me! "

"The old ancestor is muddle-headed," Yun Xuzhou said coldly.

Yun Xuyang cried and wanted to cough out the antidote, but Yun Xuzhou knocked him out with a karate chop.

Sang Yuanyuan looked at Yun Xuzhou hesitantly. "There seems to be some inside story?"

Yun Xuzhou sighed and waved her hand, ordering the imperial physician to leave.

"When you came to Ice Mist Valley, didn't I participate in the clan meeting?"

Yun Xuzhou sighed. "I wasn't careful, and Yun Xuyang took the opportunity to complain to the old ancestor about me."

Sang Yuanyuan raised his eyebrows. "So the old ancestor knows that the antidote can be cured?"

Yun Xuzhou shook her head. "Not really.

Yun Xuyang doesn't know anything. He only knows that I used him to test the antidote. Although the antidote was cured a few days ago, his body has been weak for so many years. He won't be able to recover to the standard of an ordinary person in a short time.

I told you not to tell him anything. "

Sang Yuanyuan saw that her expression wasn't good, so he asked considerately, "Then, did the old ancestor reprimand you?"

Yun Xuzhou smiled faintly. "The bastard is chanting scriptures. I won't listen."

It seemed that he was scolded badly.

After a moment of silence, Yun Xuzhou lowered her head and rubbed the soles of her shoes on the ground. She said in a muffled voice, "The old ancestor was the one who witnessed the decline of the Yun family.

At that time, the prodigies of the family died one after another, and the reason couldn't be found. Later on, this so-called 'curse' broke out. The old ancestor was an emperor at that time. Who had the ability to reach out to him and infect the entire Yun family with the antidote in a single night? "

"So the old ancestor always believed that this was the will of heaven and not man's doing." Sang Yuanyuan sighed.

Yun Xuzhou smiled bitterly. "That's right.

The old ancestor was most against seeking medical treatment. Anyone who jumped higher and tried to find the cause of the illness would be called to the ancestral temple and scolded.

I fed Yun Xuyang medicine and was suspected of usurping the throne. I would be scolded to the point of smoke coming out of my seven orifices. "

Sang Yuanyuan's forehead couldn't help but twitch.

"Wait." She suddenly widened her eyes. "But in fact, didn't the Yun family get infected with the antidote overnight?!"

"Yes …" Yun Xuzhou's face was full of annoyance. "The problem is that those people have been buried for many years. There's no way to investigate."

"There's something to investigate." Sang Yuanyuan smiled. "Let's start with why Yun Xuyang got infected with the antidote again!"

Yun Xuzhou's eyes lit up.
