The experience of living in the cold palace

boom!

The attack of this black shadow was extremely sudden.

When Li Xuan opened the door, he rushed out suddenly, filled with murderous intent, and punched Li Xuan.

This punch was huge and fierce, and its intention and spirit were highly condensed, like a black sun, with blazing light and heat, filling the entire space and rolling in.

Fist shadows were densely covered, demons danced wildly, and a space of tens of meters in radius instantly turned into darkness, making it impossible for gods and ghosts to escape!

"It is indeed a demon!"

Li Xuan looked at the menacing punch and frowned, but he was already prepared.

The moment the black shadow rushed out.

Li Xuan then drew his sword and stood up. The sound of the sword, which sounded like a dragon's roar, drowned out the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The thunderous shadow of the knife slashed out like lightning across the sky!

The swords overlapped one after another, like a raging wave, making people feel like they were falling into hell, and they collided with the shadow of the fist that was crushing over like a black sun.

Boom!

At first there was an extremely weak collision sound.

But immediately, the sound of the collision amplified instantly, spreading like a heavenly drum.

Li Xuan's ice fantasy world was directly shattered.

The awe-inspiring aura caused by the collision raged violently, but it was extremely restrained. It was concentrated at one point and did not spread out.

Li Xuan and this demon seemed to be worried about making a big noise, so they limited their strength to a radius of ten steps.

Rao is so.

Boom!

The house in front of me also collapsed suddenly, with countless fragments flying everywhere and turning into powder.

The ground within ten steps suddenly sank several feet deep, forming a huge depression.

Li Xuan groaned and retreated a distance.

The huge force of the fist made his bones explode like cannons, and his internal organs seemed to be torn apart.

He immediately activated the "Kunpeng Breathing Method" to quickly recover from his injuries.

The dark shadow of the demon was also hit by a knife, and his figure fell back a certain distance. Black energy emitted, covering his entire figure. Only a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Li Xuan.

"Very good, I have remembered you. If you dare to destroy my plan, sooner or later, I will take your life!"

The dark shadow of the demon took a deep look at Li Xuan, but he didn't wait long. He moved, turned into afterimages, crashed through the courtyard wall, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

‘This demon is not the one I met in Shituo Mountain. Why did he sneak into the capital and come to Wang Qinghou’s mansion? ! ’ Li Xuan frowned.

Although the auras of the demon in front of him and the demon he fought at Shituo Mountain were similar, there were subtle differences.

This demon's moves are more concise, and his attacks are faster and more powerful.

The demon in Shituo Mountain is more sinister and good at sneak attacks.

Li Xuan did not chase the devil. He moved and came to the house in front of him that had been turned into ruins.

boom--

He opened a wooden board and a figure appeared in front of him.

It was actually Wang Wenliang he was looking for on this trip.

only.

At this moment, Wang Wenliang's aura was weak, and although his physical body had not suffered much damage, his spirit was failing.

Only a little bit is still in the body, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time.

Li Xuan frowned, the power of his soul surged up, and circles of light emerged, covering Wang Wenliang.

He ran the "Light Burning Technique" at a perfect level, hoping to repair Wang Wenliang's incomplete soul.

It's a pity that his soul has not survived the thunder tribulation, and even the perfect level of "Light Burning Technique" cannot reunite the soul for others.

However, under the influence of the "Light Burning Method", Wang Wenliang finally recovered some consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

Li Xuan looked at Wang Wenliang and said: "I am Li Feiyu, the devil has been beaten away by me, little Marquis, what is going on?"

He could see that Wang Wenliang's soul was on the verge of collapse at any time.

The "Randeng Law" will not last long.

Therefore, he did not make any pleasantries, but directly asked about the causes and consequences of this matter.

Wang Wenliang pursed his lips and said in a sad voice: "I didn't expect that, despite all the precautions and calculations, the person who took my life in the end was actually my closest relative."

"No, he is not my closest relative. My brother will never be like this. He was just possessed by the evil spirit!"

Wang Wenliang seemed to have a premonition that he was about to die soon, and there was deep reluctance in his eyes.

Over the years, he has been left in the capital and reduced to a hostage-like figure.

In order to save his life, he deliberately pretended to be a playboy and a prodigal, just to lower the vigilance of others so that he could one day escape from the prison.

Seeing that after meeting Li Xuan, he had the opportunity to escape from the prison, but suddenly suffered a misfortune and his soul was swallowed up. How could he be willing to do so? !

When Li Xuan heard Wang Wenliang's words, his pupils shrank suddenly:

"Are you saying that the evil demon that attacked you just now is your brother? Is the brother you are talking about Wang Wenwen?!"

Wang Wenliang has two brothers, the eldest brother Wang Wenshu and the second brother Wang Wenhao. They both followed Wang Qinghou and left the capital five years ago and went to Dongzhou to serve in the Tianhai Navy.

Previously.

The person Li Xuan saw colluding with the evil spirits in Shituo Mountain was Wang Wenwen.

However, this Wang Wenwen looks just like a normal human being.

Why is it a demon? !

You know, once humans are transformed into demons.

Although some martial arts and Taoist techniques from his lifetime can be retained, the memory of his lifetime will completely disappear and he will gradually turn into another bloodthirsty creature!

This Wang Wenshu has not behaved strangely over the years, and even serves as a commander in the Tianhai Navy. How could he be an evil spirit? !

If it was really so easy for evil spirits to sneak into the higher-ups, then the entire Daqian would have been in chaos long ago.

However.

Wang Wenliang's consciousness became blurred, and he couldn't hear Li Xuan's words at all. He just kept saying:

"I'm not willing to accept it. Why, why does my elder brother want to harm me? Why, why..."

His pupils were dilated and he stared at the sky, showing great unwillingness. He raised his hand and grabbed Li Xuan's sleeve hard, wanting to say something.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, his pupils were dilated, and he completely lost his voice.

The soul of this arrogant and dandy young marquis completely dissipated in front of outsiders, and he died in front of Li Xuan!

"Why……"

Li Xuan sighed, restrained the "Light Burning Technique", and the halo surrounding the young marquis disappeared.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he moved and left quickly.

An hour later.

Li Xuan returned to Leng Gong with a gloomy expression.

Not long after he left the Hou Mansion, a line of people entered the Hou Mansion, apparently attracted by the news of Li Xuan and the Demon's attack.

Wang Wenliang's death is expected to spread soon.

Li Xuan frowned, thinking about what Wang Wenliang said before he died.

Did Wang Wenwen really become a demon? !

If that was the case, how could he not reveal his identity for so many years?

Does the Marquis of Huai'an, Wang Qinghou, know about this? !

'Based on the information we received before, Wang Qinghou most likely knew that his son had turned into a demon. ’

'But how could Wang Wenwen conceal his identity as a demon? You know, he is the commander of the Tianhai Army, and he often meets with various generals. Are these generals all fools who can't see the identity of Wang Wenwen's demon? ? ’

'Impossible. Chi Huaiyi, who was with me when I went to the Turbulent Sea to eliminate pirates, is a master-level warrior. He must be sensitive to evil spirits. ’

Although evil spirits can disguise themselves as humans, their bloodthirsty nature will not change.

It needs to regularly devour human flesh and blood, and once it does so, billowing black mist will appear on its body.

This is the demonic energy of evil spirits, which is completely different from the power of inner energy and true energy.

Moreover, a master-level warrior has a keen spiritual sense, and can sense the special aura of the evil demon even if the evil demon does not take action.

Even a demon cannot disguise his identity in front of a master-level warrior.

While Li Xuan was thinking, he came to Empress Xiao's palace.

now.

Madam Xiao was meditating in the bedroom. After hearing Li Xuan's voice, she walked out slowly.

"What's wrong? You look worried?"

Empress Xiao is wearing a long corset dress, white and tall, and the deep ravine is fascinating.

Since recovering his soul.

Her face became rosier day by day, and her aura gradually grew stronger, becoming more and more unpredictable.

This may be the beauty of Empress Xiao as a Taoist saint.

I'm afraid, it won't take long for Madam Xiao to regain all her cultivation and break through the heavenly barrier!

Li Xuan didn't hide it, he went straight to the point: "I went out just now and discovered something terrible?"

"A scary thing? Tell me about it."

Madam Xiao had seen the big world, but she didn't show the slightest expression when she heard this. She sat down and twisted her neck.

Li Xuan understood, and while massaging Empress Xiao, he said:

"I just left the palace to find Wang Wenliang, the third son of Huai'an Marquis Wang Qinghou, but I met a demon in the mansion..."

Li Xuan roughly told what happened.

He and Empress Xiao each have each other's secrets, and after the previous fusion of souls, their relationship has become closer, and they know everything about them.

so.

Li Xuan didn't hide anything from Empress Xiao, and told all about the matter and his doubts.

As a Taoist saint, Empress Xiao's knowledge of various secrets and knowledge of evil spirits must definitely exceed her own.

Maybe you know what this is all about.

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Empress Xiao also frowned: "This is really shocking news. The devil disguised himself as a human and entered the Tianhai Navy as a high-ranking officer without being noticed. This is theoretically impossible. Arrived."

There was a pause.

She continued: "However, if the demon used another method, it would be possible to achieve the situation you mentioned."

"In what way?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Empress Xiao said: "Once an evil spirit evolves to the level of a heavenly demon, it can use the heavenly demon to parasitize and occupy and digest a person's life, including the body and soul. It is equivalent to a different kind of body seizing."

"It's just that demon parasitism has huge flaws, which also leads to very few demons using this trick."

"First of all, after the demon parasitizes, the demon will lose its original immortality, and its strength will drop to the same level as the human who took the body. Although it can be cultivated, it will never become a demon at the level of the first demon."

"Secondly, the stronger the human who chooses to be parasitized by the demon, the more time it will take for the demon to digest the human soul and adapt to the new body. It may even suffer backlash, causing the parasitism of the demon to fail. Once it fails, , the demon will be wiped out."

"Finally, after the demon parasitizes, the bloodthirsty nature of the demon will not change. It needs to eat flesh and blood regularly, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the demonic nature in the body, thus exposing itself."

"Once the demon successfully parasitizes, the aura of the demon will be the same as that of the human being who took the body. Even the memory can be digested, and the martial arts and Taoism can be performed as they are. Unless the demon takes the initiative to expose it, or destroys its body, forcing it to You have to show his spirit, otherwise it will be difficult to detect the disguise of the demon."

"This is what I saw in an ancient book. It is somewhat similar to the situation you are talking about now."

Li Xuan's eyes flashed suddenly as he listened to Madam Xiao's story.

Demon parasitism? !

There is such an evil method.

You must know that even if you are cultivating the corpse realm, the most you can do is reincarnate into a fetus that has not yet given birth to consciousness, and then reincarnate and practice again.

I will not take away the human body.

Because taking away a conscious human body will cause a strong conflict between the two souls, and the body will directly collapse and accelerate aging because it cannot withstand this conflict between the souls.

Now this demon parasite can perfectly inherit the physical body and memory of the body. This is really too evil.

If Wang Wenwen was really parasitized by a demon, it might explain why he wanted to find Wang Wenliang.

In all likelihood, it was because he knew his identity was exposed, so he wanted to change his body.

But he never thought that he would be hit by Li Xuan.

‘If this is the case, then is the Marquis of Huai’an, Wang Qinghou, also an evil spirit? ’

‘This can explain why a dignified marquis colluded with evil spirits. ’

‘Could it be possible that the cases of Empress Zhao and Empress Luo were framed because of the discovery of the demonic identity of the Marquis of Huai’an? ’

‘Also, what does the Xia family, Wei Guogong, Jinyiwei Commander, Dongchang and other forces have to do with the Huai’an Marquis? ’

Memories about the Marquis of Huai'an flashed through Li Xuan's mind, trying to find out the key points and connections.

After a while.

His eyes flashed suddenly, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, and a date suddenly appeared.

Tianyuan six years!

This year, the current Emperor Qian made his first inspection tour after succeeding to the throne, and the location was the Xia family in Zhongzhou.

As the emperor's personal bodyguard, the Marquis of Huai'an followed him all the way.

Also accompanying him were Wei Guogong Xu Anshu and Jinyiwei commander Li Xingchen.

Also in this year, the emperor suddenly began to practice Taoism.

Queen Xia ignored the criticism from the court and took the prince to her side and took care of him until he was thirteen years old.

Then the following year, the former factory director of Dongchang, Wei Qing, Wei Jingzhong's adoptive father, passed away, and Wei Jingzhong succeeded him as factory director.

All the forces and people related to Zhao Feilong's case appeared in the sixth year of Tianyuan!

In other words, something definitely happened during the emperor's patrol in the sixth year of Tianyuan.

‘Isn’t it possible? ’ Li Xuan had a terrible thought in his heart.

Could it be that the emperor and his party were all parasitized by demons back then? !

If this is the case, all subsequent strange behaviors can be explained.

For example, the emperor suddenly started to practice Taoism from this year on, and the dignified prince colluded with evil spirits.

For another example, why did the queen take the prince to her side after the emperor practiced Taoism despite criticism? Was it because she sensed something was wrong with the emperor? !

'But, if the queen knew that the emperor might be an evil spirit, why didn't she announce it to the public and instead choose to endure it? ’

'Also, if this evil demon really used demon parasitism on the emperor and others, why has it not made any noise for twenty years? Is it planning something secretly? ’

Li Xuan frowned, feeling that he had come into contact with the truth.

However, there are still some things that I can't figure out.

Seeing that Li Xuan remained silent for a long time, Empress Xiao couldn't help but said, "Why haven't you spoken? What are you thinking about?"

Li Xuan came back to his senses and gave a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you have done a great job by giving me this advice, but we can't even get the credit for it."
