Full-time Swordsman

Underworld, outside the Imperial Palace.

Because of the appearance of the Empress, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and all the ghosts knelt on the ground and dared not breathe.

The Empress stared at Lin Jichen with anger, and said in a cold tone: "What do you mean?"

Lin Jichen looked down at the Underworld Spring Key in his hand, and immediately guessed that the other party might have misunderstood, and was about to explain.

Unexpectedly, the remaining ghost cultivator took the lead and knelt on the ground and cried: "Sir! This ghost sneaked into the Imperial Palace and stole the Underworld Spring Key. My brother and I found it in time and wanted to intercept it, but unexpectedly my brother was killed by him. Please give justice to my brother!"

Lin Jichen didn't expect this guy to be so shameless and turned black and white in front of him.

"Lin Jichen, you are so bold. Not only did you steal the treasure of my ghost world, but you also killed my ghost world's important officials! Do you really think that my ghost world is a place where you can do whatever you want?"

The evidence is there, and it is irrefutable. It is no wonder that the empress believes it.

Looking at the other party's angry eyes, Lin Jichen was speechless and said unhappily: "I am wronged!"

"You say you are wronged? Then show me the evidence." The empress questioned.

Lin Jichen pointed at Youlian and said: "She was controlled by Ying Gou's men. You can tell at a glance!"

The empress turned her head suspiciously and looked at Youlian. She casually injected a magic power into her body. Soon, Youlian spit out a mouthful of black water, then collapsed to the ground and fainted.

"Soul-calming water?"

The empress frowned, as if she thought of something, and became even more angry.

She glared at Lin Jichen and shouted: "How do you explain it?"

"What do you mean by how to explain it?" Lin Jichen wondered.

The empress said in a cold tone: "The Soul-Calming Water is in the Soul-Calming Tower. Only you and Chu Xinqin can get it. At the beginning, one of you served as Meng Po in the Soul-Calming Tower, and the other drank a lot of Soul-Calming Water. Now Soul-Calming Water appears in You Lian's body. Isn't it you who did it?"

At this time, the ghost minister who just cried out for injustice immediately echoed: "That's right! It must be him, Empress. He must have used the Soul-Calming Water to control You Lian and ordered her to steal the key to the Nether Spring. He also deliberately attacked the Imperial Palace in an attempt to cover for You Lian. It must be like this!"

The empress also felt that this possibility was very high.

She knew that Lin Jichen had a lot of Soul-Calming Water in his body, and the key to the Nether Spring was in Lin Jichen's hands, and her ministers were dead.

What's more, Ying Gou's men had been eliminated by her long ago, but Lin Jichen blamed Ying Gou, which was simply nonsense.

All of the above made the empress completely conclude that it was Lin Jichen who did it.

Lin Jichen was so frustrated at this time. This was the first time he had been wronged like this since he was a child. This was even more unfair than Dou E.

However, he did not lose his mind. Instead, he walked towards Youlian silently, wanting to wake her up to testify for him.

But he did not expect that as soon as he took a step forward, a soul whip had already swept over, as bright as fire, with terrifying power.

Lin Jichen was forced to step back.

The empress sneered: "Do you still want to kill people to silence them?"

"Are you fucking sick?" Lin Jichen could no longer hold back and cursed.

The empress's eyes were stern, and the soul whip rolled up, directly entangled Lin Jichen's neck, and lifted him into the air.

Lin Jichen felt a suffocating pressure, and he had no power to resist at all.

Although he has now broken through the enlightenment, he is still not enough in front of such a strong man.

The empress said in a grim tone, "You stole my ghost world's treasure and killed my ghost world ministers, and you dare to speak so arrogantly. Do you think that I dare not kill you because Leng Feiyan supports you?"

It can be heard that the empress is really angry at this time.

She is a person with a lonely and domineering personality. She never hesitates about the things she believes or decides.

In addition, she was interrupted at the critical moment of her retreat, and her mind was affected. It was when she had nowhere to vent her anger, and Lin Jichen was like a gun.

Lin Jichen also understood that it was useless for him to explain at this time. The evidence was conclusive, and it seemed that he was bound to take the blame.

After thinking this through, Lin Jichen simply said nothing.

Seeing his attitude, the empress became even more angry. She tightened the soul whip, as if she could take Lin Jichen's life at any time.

"I'm asking you now, do you know you're wrong?"

Lin Jichen looked at her calmly and said, "Do you want me to admit my mistakes and beg for mercy?"

"Shouldn't I?" the empress asked back.

Lin Jichen smiled, and he glanced at her contemptuously, saying, "Kill me if you want to, don't talk nonsense to me, you want me to admit my mistakes and beg for mercy, impossible!"

The empress was completely furious when she heard this, and she was about to kill, but something in her body seemed to be trying to stop her.

She suppressed her emotions and tried to calm down, so she didn't kill him.

After a long time, she suddenly let go of Lin Jichen and sneered."Okay, the human race is really a despicable person!"

The empress said with a gloomy face, looking at Lin Jichen and said: "Since you helped me seize the throne, I will let you go, but from now on, you and I will not owe each other anything."

After that, she threw out a soul jade and said: "This is the soul that you dragged me to keep for you. Take it and get out. I don't want to see you again!"

The empress's tone was resolute, and she seemed to be completely disappointed with the man in front of her.

Lin Jichen took a deep breath, silently took the soul jade, and threw the key to the underworld back, saying expressionlessly: "I don't want to see you again, so let's say goodbye."

After that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

Looking at his back as he left, the empress felt inexplicably sour in her heart, and an indescribable emotion filled her heart, and a layer of light mist appeared in her eyes without knowing when.

Recalling the time when she regained her memory, she and Lin Jichen had an irreconcilable relationship.

But after a series of events, she could feel that Lin Jichen's attitude towards her was slowly changing, and the relationship between the two seemed to be slowly getting better.

And she also began to hate him for deceiving her into being a ghost servant after losing her memory, and later her impression of Lin Jichen was gradually getting better.

Originally, everything was developing in a good direction.

However, from this moment on, the empress understood that the relationship that had been repaired with great effort had returned directly to the pre-liberation period, and was even worse than before.

She could even foresee that she and Lin Jichen would never see each other again in the future.

But she felt that she was not wrong. Lin Jichen did such an excessive thing, not only did he not apologize but also made excuses, which was undoubtedly a provocation to her dignity.

Even if she did it again ten thousand times, she would not regret this decision.

"It's his fault, it's his fault, it's his fault!"

The empress hypnotized herself silently, and she felt much better in her heart.

"My lady Empress, my brother died tragically. I cannot bear this. I hope you can help me and let me lead people to hunt down the murderer!"

At this time, the ghost minister knelt down and spoke, his face full of grief and anger.

He was not feeling sorry for his brother at all. He clearly wanted to kill him and completely prove Lin Jichen's crime.
