Xingtian let out an angry roar. At this moment, Li Er appeared. After a glance, the Tai Chi diagram flew out from Huoyun Cave, directly enveloping Xingtian and suppressing him within Huoyun Cave! No matter how powerful a quasi-saint is, facing a saint, especially a saint with a primordial supreme treasure, is that easy!
Minghe, who was sleeping in the Asura Path, suddenly started and then roared, "Damn it, to suppress my Asura Path's possession, Li Er, you've gone too far!"
Then Minghe was about to leave the Asura Path, but stopped instantly at the entrance. After a low grumble, he sent a telepathic message, "Li Er, don't go too far, release Xingtian!"
Li Er heard Minghe's telepathic message and paid no attention. What a joke, would he do whatever Minghe said? Ask my Tai Chi diagram if it agrees? Besides, you can't even leave the Asura Path, yet you're babbling!
Not receiving a reply from Li Er, Minghe was furious and could only sulk in the Asura Path!
On the road back to the imperial court, Wen Zhong, lost in thought, couldn't understand why, when he went, those Eastern Yi people were like they had eaten something fierce, so ferocious that he couldn't cope, and could only defend or retreat. As soon as Ji Chang arrived, he directly destroyed the Eastern Yi army. This was too strange. If he said there was no trickery involved, Wen Zhong would be the first to disbelieve it!
However, seeing Ji Chang's bewildered look, he couldn't say anything. What could he say? Could he say that they fought me for real, and played with you? And you were still destroyed? Being destroyed, could it be called playing?
Although Ji Chang didn't understand either, the Eastern Yi were indeed destroyed, and they had completed their mission. Now Ji Chang was trying his best not to make mistakes, not to give any excuses, as the celestial phenomena recently had been strange, making Xiqi somewhat unable to cope!
At this moment, in Chaoge City, Su Hu had already sent Daji into the palace. Daji also behaved normally, not immediately seducing Di Xin, but instead getting a clear picture of the palace affairs!
First, among the imperial consorts, the three palaces were the most prominent. Among them, Queen Jiang was the central and legitimate consort, and there were two other palaces: Consort Huang in the West Palace, who was the sister of Huang Feihu! And Consort Yang in Xinqing Palace, who was currently favored by Di Xin!
Daji's gaze fell upon Consort Yang. She said to the maid beside her, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon, "You can go and possess Consort Yang now, and then we will make further plans!"
The Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon nodded and said, "Good, I'll go first!"
Saying that, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon went. It was her true form that went. As for the maid to be possessed, she had already collapsed beside Daji. Daji casually waved her sleeve, and a deep pit appeared outside the courtyard. She directly kicked the maid's corpse into it. The earth outside the courtyard gradually closed, as if the deep pit had never appeared.
At this moment, Consort Yang was taking a nap in Xinqing Palace. Above the room, a small Bagua mirror was hung. This was a magical artifact bestowed by Di Xin to Consort Yang! It was also bestowed to Di Xin by Grand Master Xuandu, which showed Di Xin's favor for Consort Yang!
In the past few days, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon and Daji had also inquired clearly. As for the legitimate consort Queen Jiang, there was nothing to say. Consort Huang in the two palaces was not to be trifled with; her brother was Huang Feihu, a famous general of Yin Shang, with considerable strength. As for Consort Yang, she had no background, so in the eyes of the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon and Daji, she was the easiest to bully!
The Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon slowly crept into Consort Yang's sleeping quarters and saw Consort Yang sleeping soundly. The Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon revealed a condescending smile and rushed towards Consort Yang!
However, at this moment, the Bagua mirror hanging on the roof shot out a golden light, directly enveloping the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon!
The Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon let out a great howl. Under the illumination of the Bagua mirror, it had already revealed its true form. The commotion here naturally alerted the guards of the West Palace, and Consort Yang also woke up. Looking at the ferocious Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon, Consort Yang almost fainted from fright. Fortunately, the Bagua mirror bestowed by the King was there, and the guards quickly rushed in, surrounding the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon, their eyes filled with anger!
However, they dared not move, because they were, at most, ordinary people, and dealing with such a demon was naturally beyond their capabilities!
At Shouyang Mountain, Xuandu was stunned because the magical artifact he gave to his disciple was activated, which meant that a demon had appeared in the palace!
Xuandu dared not delay and quickly reported to Taiqing Laozi!
"Understood!" Taiqing Laozi waved his hand, telling Xuandu to go and capture the demon first!
Xuandu took the order, left Shouyang Mountain, and headed towards Chaoge!
Taiqing Laozi frowned, and after a brief calculation, it turned out he couldn't figure it out. It seemed that a saint was involved!
At this moment, in Xinqing Palace, Consort Yang hid in Di Xin's arms, crying and recounting the events. Di Xin looked at the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon enveloped by the Bagua mirror and snorted, "Bold demon, how dare you sneak into Xinqing Palace? Speak, do you have any accomplices?"
The Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon, now enveloped by the Bagua mirror, was already in a miserable state. How could it answer Di Xin's words, only letting out continuous mournful cries!
Seeing that the demon refused to speak, Di Xin reached out and summoned. The Bagua mirror immediately flew into his hand, but the golden light did not disappear, and it continued to envelop the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon!
Di Xin extended a finger and tapped the Bagua mirror. The golden light weakened significantly, and the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon was able to catch its breath, looking at Di Xin with fear, never expecting that this Human King actually possessed such means!
"Still not talking?" Di Xin said coldly!
The Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon quickly said, "Your Majesty, this humble demon merely stumbled in, with no intention to harm anyone. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"
As for betraying Daji, it was impossible. It dared not delay the important matters of Empress Nuwa!
"Hmph, demon, sneaking into the imperial palace, and you claim to have no intention to harm anyone?" Di Xin was furious. Did this little demon dare to deceive him like this? Did he think he knew nothing?
He was about to intensify the golden light when an old man walked in. Di Xin immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Teacher! I did not expect your arrival, and I have failed to welcome you properly. I hope Teacher will forgive me!"
Xuandu chuckled, completely unconcerned, and said with a smile, "This poor Taoist came for this demon!"
Di Xin was stunned, then asked curiously, "Does this demon have anything extraordinary about it? Worthy of Teacher's personal visit!"
"This is also my question!" Xuandu smiled faintly. He didn't understand why a saint would want to see this demon, but he still waved his sleeve and collected the Nine-Headed Pheasant Demon!
Seeing that his teacher was going to handle it, Di Xin stopped bothering about it, told the guards to withdraw, and Xuandu said, "I have come this time to give you this demon-revealing mirror!"
Then a bronze mirror flew into Di Xin's hand. Di Xin was completely bewildered, why would he be given a demon-revealing mirror!
But since his teacher bestowed it, there must be a reason. He respectfully accepted it!
"This poor Taoist is leaving. The tribulation is about to come, and demons will appear. This mirror can help you discern if someone is human or demon, so you can be prepared," Xuandu said, and then he ascended on the clouds and left!
Di Xin put away the demon-revealing mirror, comforted Consort Yang for a while, and then left!
The incident of a demon appearing in Xinqing Palace naturally spread throughout the imperial harem. Daji was restless, not expecting the harem to be so dangerous. A mere mortal without background actually possessed a magical artifact. This was just Xinqing Palace; what about the West Palace? And the Central Palace? Her plan to act arrogantly in the harem with her magic seemed unlikely!
