Chapter 188 A Familiar Taste

When Xie Youshan talked about these things, she also complained that Qi Renhuang was too scummy.

The dignified Demon King condescended to fall in love with him when he was still a minor cultivator.

As soon as he had a chance to ascend the throne, he divorced his wife to avoid impeachment by his political enemies.

Li Wei sensed something was off about her words and quickly said, "Shanshan, I'm not going to be some kind of human emperor. If I'm going to be one, I'll be an immortal emperor that nobody can control."

"I didn't say anything about you, you stinky husband, are you feeling guilty? Besides, I don't want the position of your legal wife, I just want to be your Shanshan."

Xie Youshan said with a grin.

She was confident in her importance in Li Wei's heart, so she wouldn't get jealous easily.

The little tantrums that Third Qingwan threw at Li Wei before were just sweet and sour little moments between lovers.

"Shanbao, you're so kind~"

Li Wei knew that Xie Youshan wasn't the type to be jealous. After all, he had confessed his harem-building activities in a dream in his later life, and Shanshan hadn't shown any jealousy.

However, I was still very touched to hear Xie Youshan say that she didn't want the position of the main wife.

He secretly vowed to give Shanshan, no, to give all his women an equal and grand wedding.

Once you enter his household, there is no distinction between senior and junior wives. Even if there is a primary wife, it is due to her personality and prestige, not a real difference in status.

anyway.

After Li Wei told He Zhong that he wanted to get involved in the matter.

"You have quite the audacity! I will kill this Zhuyuan today!"

He Zhong was angered by Li Wei's words, which showed that he was not taken seriously at all, and raised his hand to continue to pour his heart out to Zhu Yuan.

Li Wei naturally wouldn't let him succeed, and with a wave of his hand, he made Xie Youshan, hidden in his sleeve, unleash the power of dreams.

Although Xie Youshan always suffers setbacks in front of the Queen Mother of the West, she is a true immortal venerable and a great demon king who ascended to the supreme realm more than a thousand years ago.

Although He Zhong had been promoted to the Supreme Realm for over a hundred years, he was ultimately just an ordinary Supreme Cultivator, and even in later generations, he might not have been able to survive the second Heavenly Tribulation.

Under Xie Youshan's power, he was momentarily dazed and for a moment forgot what he was supposed to do.

It wasn't until Li Wei raised his hand and used his Dharma Image to take away Zhu Yuan that He Zhong finally realized what was happening.

His expression changed drastically, realizing that Li Wei was probably someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he waved his hand to stop the Void Realm cultivators who wanted to make a move.

"Your skill is superior; even Zhonggan admits defeat."

After saying that, he took a deep look at the masked man in front of him, then turned and flew back towards Pingyang City.

Those Void Realm cultivators naturally followed.

Li Wei did not let Xie Youshan stop these people, after all, they were just following orders.

These people are the backbone of the human race. If they were killed, the human race would likely suffer a severe blow.

He landed on the ground with Zhuyuan and looked him over.

Although it was night, it was no different from daytime for Li Wei; he could see everything clearly.

This Zhuyuan in disguise was a dull-witted man, somewhat similar to Li Wei's disguised face.

"Are you a friend of the Deer Fairy?"

Zhu Yuan was somewhat puzzled. He had served under the Deer Fairy for hundreds of years and had never heard of her having any friends.

However, this person who easily rescued him from the hands of a supreme human cultivator and even made the other party back down was naturally a powerful figure he could not afford to offend.

Therefore, Zhuyuan's tone was very respectful.

"Hehe, I don't know her. I was just curious about what you said to He Zhong before, so I found an excuse to save you."

Li Wei stopped trying to deceive the other party, after all, he might have to meet that Deer Fairy again later, and if he continued to deceive her, he would inevitably be exposed.

That would be very awkward.

"Since I saved your life, it's not too much to ask you to answer a few questions, is it?"

Li Wei asked Zhu Yuan about the origins.

"sure."

Zhu Yuan thought that he was no longer able to complete the task assigned by the Empress, so he might as well tell this expert about the situation. Perhaps the expert would be willing to help out of interest?

"The human race says that after Emperor Qi abdicated, he went to travel in the south, but the Empress actually has a secret method to contact him."

"The Empress used a secret method to contact Qi Hongjun, but after more than half a year, there was still no news."

There are only two possibilities.

"Firstly, he truly broke off all ties with the Empress, refusing to even reply to her letters."

"Secondly, he did not actually make a southern tour at all; his personal freedom was simply being controlled by others."

Zhu Yuan spoke slowly.

"Her Majesty believed it was the latter, so she sent me to search for it. I used my talent to burrow underground into the city to investigate. Because I was afraid that Qi Hongjun would be killed if I delayed too long, I was a little impatient and ended up being discovered."

Li Wei nodded slightly after hearing the whole story.

"Did you find anything in the city?" Li Wei asked curiously.

The human race's lineup today is too exaggerated; they're clearly aiming to kill Zhu Yuan. Don't listen to He Zhong's claims that he wanted to let him go; that's all nonsense and empty flattery.

If it weren't for Li Wei today, Zhu Yuan would be killed no matter what he did.

It was obvious that the imperial court suspected he had discovered something and wanted to silence him.

"Yes, I've discovered a formation underground!"

After thinking about it, Morohara decided to reveal the information.

After all, if he wanted the other party to get involved in this matter, he wouldn't get involved without showing some sincerity.

"It's normal for there to be formations where the imperial court is located."

Li Wei said calmly.

"It's not a defensive or alert formation, it's a sacrificial formation! If my ancestor hadn't been a celestial official who left behind a book of commonly used basic formations based on his memory, I wouldn't have recognized it either."

Zhu Yuan's words made Li Wei frown.

He remembered the blood sacrifice array that Ji Yuanhong had set up a thousand years ago.

He didn't recognize it at the time either; it was only thanks to Zhong Kuiying's knowledge that he finally discovered it.

It seems that the celestial realm has never given up on using such vicious methods to damage the fortune of the human race.

The similar setup allowed Li Wei to completely pin the suspicion on the Immortal Realm.

"Alright, I will continue to investigate this human capital. You go back and inform Lady Deer to come and help as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan bowed repeatedly in gratitude, and then flew eastward on the sky.

"Shanshan, can you spot anything wrong?"

Li Wei asked, watching Zhu Yuan's receding figure.

"No, the Deer Fairy does have a pangolin demon named Zhu Yuan under her command, and I didn't sense that he was lying just now."

Xie Youshan replied. As a Celestial Venerable who mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Dreams, she is extremely sensitive to the soul and can detect lies by sensing the fluctuations of the other party's spiritual consciousness.

Li Wei did not linger. Under the cover of night, he sneaked back into Pingyang City and returned to his rented place.

To be honest, he was a little panicked after learning that there was a sacrificial array below, but when he thought that Xie Youshan, the Immortal Venerable, was right beside him, he immediately became fearless again.

It's a shame he didn't want Xie Youshan to come along in the first place; it just goes to show that the "it's actually good" principle never fails.

"If this sacrificial array was set up by the Youchao clan emperor within a year of his ascension to the throne, then the scale of the project must be astonishing."

Li Wei removed his disguise and held Xie Youshan, who had returned to human form, as he spoke.

To avoid detection, the formation was set up underground. Although it wasn't buried very deep, it was still quite troublesome to construct.

It's at least as difficult as the subway in my previous life.

Now I know why the Youchao clan set such high taxes.

After all, how can you build infrastructure without money?
