Xuanxia

Chapter 779 The picture appears
King Xishuo was indeed in Luoyi.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, he understood a lot of things.

King Xishuo's four subordinates had clear division of labor and rushed over quickly.

One of them was an extremely fat man with a big belly. Facing the red and black smoke, he actually opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath!
In an instant, the storm surged!

The red and black smoke in the air suddenly rolled up and rushed towards his big mouth!
His stomach swelled up quickly, and his whole body bloated up just like Qingjiangzi before, but looking at him and the people around him, they didn't seem worried.

At the same time, King Xishuo's other three subordinates also took action.

A petite woman moved swiftly and agilely, weaving through the crowd like a fish. Wherever she passed, she deftly stuffed pills into the mouths of the martial arts elders. After taking the pills, the bloodshot in their eyes quickly faded, and their sanity seemed to begin to return.

The other man and woman stood on the left and right sides of the fat man, paying close attention to his situation.

Finally, the fat man swallowed all the smoke into his stomach. His face became very ugly, and his already huge body became several times bigger. His legs finally couldn't support his weight, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

At this time, the man and woman who had been guarding him finally moved. They laid the fat man flat. The man stretched out his hands and began to tap various acupoints on his body, while the woman pried open the fat man's mouth, took out a jar of pills, and poured them into his mouth as if they were free.

"Qing Zhou?"

At this time, Master Jingming landed lightly beside Fu Qingzhou and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, uncle. I'm fine." Fu Qingzhou's eyes never left King Xishuo.

King Xishuo...was slowly walking towards this side.

At this time, True Man Baihe, Elder Yu, Shangguan Xuan and others also landed on Fu Qingzhou's side.

There are no fools here.

Qingjiangzi was suddenly drugged and went mad, and then King Xishuo came with the antidote?

Don’t you think this is a coincidence?
"Several seniors."

Fu Qingzhou asked softly, "Were you also led away?"

"Well, I won't tell you the details." Master Baihe said calmly, "But luckily I got back in time."

"I suspected a trick, so I didn't go." Master Jingming said calmly.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I will go and have a chat with the prince. Seniors...especially Elder Yu, please check on the situation of other Jianghu seniors."

Although they were treated by King Xishuo's men, who knows if there is anything else in the antidote?

Since he had already spoken, the few of them didn't say anything else. They left and went to check on the situation of their fellow martial artists.

And King Xishuo had also leisurely come to Fu Qingzhou.

"Qianlongbo."

He spoke first, clasped his hands together, and placed his arms parallel to each other, forming a bridge in front of his chest. He made a very delicate and different kind of bow, and bowed slightly.

Fu Qingzhou casually clasped his fists and bowed like a man of the world: "Greetings, King Xishuo."

Seeing him being so casual, King Xishuo immediately showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

But soon, the prince put away the dissatisfaction in his eyes and smiled, "I often heard that Uncle Qianlong and my son Shenzhi are good friends. My son's daily behavior is absurd and he may have offended many people. This prince apologized for him. Thank you Uncle Qianlong for your tolerance."

Fu Qingzhou blinked and said, "It's okay. Zhao Hao is pretty good. I think he is much better than 99% of his peers in this world."

"Is it?"

The smile on King Xishuo's face, which was forged from good upbringing, did not change at all: "Then I would like to thank Uncle Qianlong for his praise on behalf of my son." He was very polite, polite to perfection, but there was not a trace of sincerity in him.

This is Fu Qingzhou's judgment of him.

"Your Majesty, let's get back to the point."

Fu Qingzhou had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with the prince, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Can you explain why you came just after Qingjiangzi was fed that strange poison, and why you happened to bring the antidote?"

"It turns out that Qianlong Bo is suspicious of me."

King Xishuo smiled.

Fu Qingzhou lowered his head: "I dare not, but Qingjiangzi's matter is too strange, I must find out."

"Oh? Who is Qingjiangzi?" King Xishuo suddenly asked.

There was no change in Fu Qingzhou's expression.

Keep pretending. Didn’t your niece Zhao Xia, whom you sent, ever mention Qingjiangzi to you?

"I will explain it to His Majesty later." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Now, please explain my doubts to His Majesty."

"can."

King Xishuo's expression did not change at all. He smiled and said, "A month ago, some remnants of the Demon Cult appeared in the Western Regions. They refined a batch of fierce beast pills and killed loyal and righteous people in the folks, turning them into demons."

"My subordinates noticed this and rescued some people and captured some of the remnants of the Demon Sect. I learned from them that they are preparing to revive the sect. The Fierce Beast Pill is their means of announcing their return to the world."

“And with so many people from the martial arts world coming to the Xuanmeng Grand Ceremony this time, they will naturally become the target of the Demon Cult.”

King Xishuo said calmly: "Mr. Qianlong, you invited me here. I am willing to come here for this reason. I even suspect that Jiang Baichuan, Huijue and others are colluding with the Demon Cult."

Fu Qingzhou's mouth twitched.

Okay, okay, you’re talking about the Demonic Cult, right?
The real remnants of the evil cult are still locked up in my hands!
This excuse seems so convincing. How long did it take you to think of it?

"Ah, that's it."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "That's really thanks to you, my Lord. Without you, we would all be in trouble today... However, the remnants of this demon cult are really powerful."

"Why do you think so?" King Xishuo asked softly.

"He was able to disguise himself as a secret envoy from Mingjian Pavilion and sneak in here."

Fu Qingzhou's smile gradually faded, and he said coldly: "To be able to bypass our investigation, to know that Qingjiangzi was imprisoned here, and to know that Qingjiangzi is an important person who holds key information - this remnant of the demon cult is not simple."

Hearing this, King Xishuo's expression also became serious.

He looked around.

The surrounding martial arts people also gathered together at this time.

The medicine given by King Xishuo's men was indeed effective. After experiencing that brief period of madness, they had all regained their sanity - even Elder Yu had investigated carefully but could not find any problems.

Right now, those who were approaching were all the most powerful people in the entire martial arts world.

King Xishuo swept his eyes across them, and finally returned to Fu Qingzhou's face, staring at him.

"This king also believes that this Xuanmeng Grand Ceremony will be fraught with danger."

He said in a deep voice: "Jiang Baichuan, the evil monk Huijue, the mysterious forces behind them, and the remnants of the Demon Cult... In my opinion, you and the Mingjian Pavilion alone may not be able to maintain the safety of this ceremony."

Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank!
After all this time, is it just for this?!
Killing Qingjiangzi was just a coincidence, this is your real purpose!
