Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 834 Qin Guang

"Why are you so sure?"

The soul arrester explained:

"My lord, you may not know..."

"Emperor Dongyue is the most special existence among us."

"It is the first bronze statue made by the one who sits on the Throne of All Deaths. If it dies, all other bronze statues will be buried!"

"Therefore, even if Emperor Dongyue was overthrown in that coup, it did not really threaten his life."

"Underworld... no one dares to kill him."

Zhao Yi carefully thought about what the soul arrester said and praised:

"This little trick is a good one."

"But he still didn't seem to have thought that even with such a connection, the Dongyue Emperor he created was still reversed..."

The soul arrester said calmly:

"Sir, with all due respect, what happened back then has been so long ago that no one knows the truth."

"Everyone in the underworld suddenly rebelled against Emperor Dongyue and paid an unimaginable price. There must be a compelling reason for this."

"A simple coup is unlikely to be the trigger for this war."

Zhao nodded.

"Um."

"That's pretty much what I guessed."

"I'm also thinking that this earth-shattering war doesn't look like a coup."

"Then do you think, if I want to inquire about this matter, where should I start?"

The broken body of the Soul Holder moved and made an unpleasant crunching sound.

"Sir, I don't dare to say this nonsense!"

"Although my subordinates participated in the battle on the ancient battlefield, they don't know the truth of the matter. They actually followed the orders of their superiors before participating in the war."

"but……"

At this point, he paused.

Zhao Daodao:

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Let's chat privately now. Regardless of whether it's true or false, I will naturally check it afterwards."

The soul arrester was silent for a while, with caution in his stiff tone:

"If your Excellency is particularly concerned about the ancient battlefield and Emperor Dongyue, I can reveal a little bit of gossip... Now, it's just gossip, please don't take it seriously!"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

"speak."

The Soul Holder's head stiffened and he looked around, as if something was staring at him in an unknown place:

"I heard that...the reason why such an earth-shattering war happened in the underworld was not a coup, let alone a struggle for power, but someone...betrayed the underworld and took refuge in the Church of the Skull!"

Zhao Yi heard this and said with a smile but not a smile:

"So who betrayed the underworld?"

The soul arrester was silent for a long time and shook his head:

"Feel sorry."

"My lord, I cannot say."

Zhao Daodao:

"Can't say...or still don't dare to say?"

Soul arrester:

"I can neither say it nor dare to say it."

Zhao Yi looked into the distance. The road was deep and quiet, with green will-o'-the-wisps burning on both sides, and the bones of huge unknown creatures lying across them.

The road under your feet is also paved with broken bones and blood mud.

The two of them walked a long distance without saying anything.

It wasn't until he stood at a fork in the road that Zhao Yi spoke:

"You want to say that Emperor Dongyue, the manager of the underworld, betrayed the underworld, right?"

The soul arrester hurriedly replied:

"Sir...don't say this nonsense!"

"It's been too long since what happened, and we don't have any evidence."

Zhao, who was sitting on the horse, turned his head to look at the Soul Custor. When they looked at each other, the latter always felt that there was an uneasy smile on Zhao Yi's face.

But when I looked carefully, this smile disappeared again.

"May I have your name?"

"Sir, my subordinate's name is 'TAN'."

"Tan, why do you think someone in the underworld would betray us... us?"

"this……"

Tan, the soul arresting officer, fell into thinking.

Whether true or false, no matter what it is thinking, it is undeniable that it is indeed thinking very seriously at this moment.

Indulging in thinking, it is like a lifeless bronze statue, broken and weathered by the years, and abandoned.

"By the way... which way to go?"

Zhao Yi smiled at it.

Tan came back to his senses and hurriedly directed the horse to take Zhao Yi to the fork on the right.

"I'm really sorry, sir..."

"I don't have the answer to your question."

"Perhaps, only those who betrayed the underworld can answer it..."

Zhao Yi showed a look of surprise.

"That makes sense!"

The meaning of the soul-arresting officer Tan is already very obvious.

It wants to say that the rebellion in the underworld was not because the people below were bewitched by the church, nor was it because of a coup to seize power.

But because... Emperor Dongyue became the lackey of the church.

The people of Hades discovered this.

They are not loyal to Emperor Dongyue, but to the underworld itself, and to the one who built the underworld.

So... the war broke out.

In a battle on the ancient battlefield, the underworld forces headed by Emperor Dongyue were defeated. Although Emperor Dongyue was not killed, he was deprived of power and himself was seriously injured. He escaped or was imprisoned in a restricted area somewhere in the world. .

"It seems like you actually know a lot..."

"Isn't that too presumptuous?"

Zhao Yi smiled and patted Tan's shoulder, making a dull bang bang sound.

Tan:

"They are just rumors... There are different opinions. If your Excellency were to ask anyone else in the underworld, it might be a different story. Therefore, the words my subordinate said today cannot be taken seriously!"

As they talked, the two came to the outside of Qin Guang Hall.

Different from the Wuguan Palace that Zhao Yi saw back then, the Qin Guang Palace was extremely dilapidated. The stone walls outside the palace were covered with cracks and even blood stains, and there were countless marks of slashing and axe-cutting. It was unknown what kind of battle it had gone through back then.

There is a rainbow abyss at the door, and everything coming and going is teleported.

Two rows of white cloth long flags were arranged vertically, swaying in the night wind.

"Sir, I will send you here."

Soul Controller Tan bowed to Zhao Yi and made sure that Zhao Yi had no instructions before he prepared to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by Zhao Yi.

"Tan, how many of the ten palaces of the underworld are left now?"

Tan was stunned for a moment.

"There are four left."

"Qin Guang, Chu Jiang, Wu Guan, Zhuan Lun."

"In recent years, some people have also called the Wheel Palace the Palace of Reincarnation."

Zhao nodded:

"Okay, I get it."

"You go back first... This trip will take two or three days, and it will take up a lot of things for you."

Tan nodded:

"No delay, no delay!"

"It is an honor for me to escort you. If you need anything else, you can just summon me directly to Qin Guang Hall afterwards!"

After it left, Zhao Yi looked at his retreating figure, smiled slightly and said:

"I will summon you...soon."

After saying that, he turned around and stepped into the rainbow abyss...

Tan Shen Mansion.

A woman wearing a horse-faced bronze mask knelt on one knee in the center of the hall, explaining everything that had happened in the past two days to the bronze statue on the main seat, and "truthfully reported" the treatment of the two heads.

"Don't worry, sir. I have sent those two heads to 'higher' along with the letter."

"They will begin investigating soon."

Tan's rusty fingers tapped on his seat, his tone a little incomprehensible.

"Ji Pa..."

"Do you think he will believe me?"

Ji Pa remained motionless, staring at the cracks on the floor in front of her.

"My lord is referring to..."

Tan said calmly:

"The one I sent."

Ji Pa hesitated for a while and replied:

"I don't know, but in my humble opinion...that adult should have no reason not to believe it."

"Those two heads are the best proof."

Tan stopped tapping his fingers on the seat.

"you're right."

"He has no reason not to believe me."

"But on the way, his eyes looked strange..."

"I always have the illusion that he sees through everything."

Ji Pa buried her head lower:

"Sir, you are too nervous."

"I felt the same way when I first met you."

Tan's neck turned slightly:

"What now?"

Ji Pa said calmly:

"Of course I am nervous now, but compared to the first time I met an adult, I must have gotten used to being so nervous."

None of the attendants lined up on both sides dared to speak to each other. They just regarded themselves as dead bodies placed there.

Tan slowly raised his head and looked at the hole in his divine palace. A faint ray of starlight fell down and fell on its face.

"I've been watching this starlight for many years."

Tan said to himself.

"Icy and cold."

"It's so annoying. It always reminds me of the past."

There was something in his words, but the people present did not understand it.

…

Qin Guangdian.

It is not much different from the Wuguan Palace. Each hall is a small world of its own.

It was extremely spacious inside. If no one was there to lead the way, Zhao Yi would really have to work hard to find the main hall of Qin Guang Hall.

However, the mark of the underworld on his body did bring him unimaginable convenience.

Almost everyone in the area under the jurisdiction of the underworld was respectful when they saw him.

Basically, whatever he wants, he gets.

One Wu Chang put away his soul-binding lock and led Zhao Yi to the main hall.

Zhao Yi saw many prisoners locked up with bronze locks on the road. They were serving their sentences, their eyes were downcast, and they did not dare to look at Zhao Yi.

Arriving in the main hall, Zhao Yi saw a large bronze statue.

It is almost the same as the original Wuguan Palace.

The only difference is that many of the bronze statues here have special parts on their bodies, which are new and strange.

When they saw Zhao Yi, they all looked over.

The direct look in his eyes was like that of a diner sitting in a restaurant, waiting for a dish he had ordered for a long time.

"Everyone, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Zhao Yi folded his collar and smiled at everyone.

King Qin Guang walked down from the top of the hall, came to Zhao Yi step by step, and saluted Zhao Yi.

"I have indeed been waiting for you for a long time..."

A corner of King Qin Guang's cheek was missing, leaving scars similar to spears, which spread to his entire face.

It lowered its voice slightly and used its divine power to isolate this small world.

"Has Tan briefly negotiated with Your Majesty about the current situation in the underworld?"

Zhao nodded.

"It told me a lot."

"But I still want to know the deeper truth about the ancient battlefield."

"And...Emperor Dongyue."

King Qin Guang:

"Tan has been my officer for many years."

"Its words are trustworthy."

"If it told you a story, maybe there is the answer you want to know."

Zhao Yi touched his chin.

"You knew I would come?"

King Qin Guang said calmly.

"Yes."

"In Wujian, there is a half-played game."

"Last time, Emperor Dongyue was the chess player."

"Now...you are."

Zhao Yi paced in the hall and came to King Qin Guang's throne, reaching out to touch its cold seat.

"You want me to join the game so much?"

King Qin Guang did not shy away from it at all, lowered his head and laughed faintly.

"Hope."

"Can I know the reason?"

"After this game, you will know it naturally."

Zhao Yi also laughed.

After laughing, he said:

"Okay."

"I'll join the game."

"I'm here to investigate Dongyue and collect the body of chaos."

King Qin Guang put his hands together and bowed to Zhao Yi.

So all the ghost messengers in the Qin Guang Hall knelt on the ground at this moment and kowtowed to Zhao Yi's position!

Thousands of miles away, at this moment, it was all like this!

"Please join the game, sir!"

"I have one more thing to remind you, sir."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows:

"Go ahead."

King Qin Guang stood up and looked at Zhao Yi:

"In this game, black and white pieces...you have to judge for yourself."

Zhao Yi:

"Don't talk too much and disturb my interest."

King Qin Guang nodded.

"In that case, I will prepare the files you need and send them to you soon."

He sent someone to send Zhao Yi to the back hall, where in the bone glazed garden, Zhao Yi got many secrets about the ancient battlefield.

The file records that Emperor Dongyue took the initiative to collude with the church and was discovered by King Yama. Later, King Yama stole the evidence, united the Ten Palaces, and asked for instructions from another hidden force, Ksitigarbha, who was quietly left behind by the nameless existence on the throne of Wanzhong. With the help of Ksitigarbha, the Ten Heavenly Sons of the Underworld paid a huge price, overthrew Emperor Dongyue, and expelled Emperor Dongyue to the Perma Forest.

Perma Forest is a life restricted area in Wujian.

It is not in Wujian, but the laws of space are closely connected with Wujian.

Before Emperor Dongyue was expelled into the Perma Forest, he almost lost all his power.

"I want to go to the Ji family."

Zhao Yi returned the file to King Qin Guang, took the map and the underworld token given by King Qin Guang, and went to the Ji family.

After he left, the folding fan man who had been with King Qin Guang for many years said:

"Your Majesty, although the power of the underworld has weakened a lot now, as long as everyone is united, it is still terrifying enough to go to any life restricted area. Isn't it easy to help you?"

"This game of chess... is really too much."

King Qin Guang laughed:

"Superfluous?"

"No, you don't understand."

"If the underworld had been united from the beginning, they wouldn't play with us."

"Your Chaos Body is at the other end of the Chaos Sea."

"After passing it, there is still a 'door', but the key to open that door is not in our hands."

The folding fan man was startled:

"The key is not in our hands?"

"Then whose hand is it?"

King Qin Guang's smile became more and more weird:

"Guess?"
