Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 751 Old friends reunited

A small courtyard with a square shape, a few plantains are planted in the courtyard, exuding a refreshing atmosphere.The construction style of several rows of houses is also simple and elegant, without the extreme extravagance of ordinary officials and rich families.Obviously, the owner of this mansion is also a man of noble aspirations.

In the corridor, Ye Shuo was hurrying through the hall, heading straight for the side hall.The reason why he was so anxious was not because of the owner of this place, but——

As soon as the door was pushed open, a figure greeted them, and the two almost collided face to face.After hastily supporting each other, they stood firm and looked at each other in surprise and joy.

"Consultant!" Finally, Ye Shuo shouted excitedly, and patted the opponent's shoulder repeatedly, as if to test whether he really existed.

"It's great that you're fine. I was shocked when I first received the summons!"

Earlier, when Ye Shuo killed the Seven Venerables of the Nine Nether Palace and was about to take refuge temporarily, he suddenly received a message.And the sender is the consultant who has lost contact for a long time!

Hearing that his temporary residence was in an ordinary country located in the center of the Spirit World, Ye Shuo hurried over regardless of the long distance.

He also thought that this could be a trap.What if the consultant has already fallen under the control of Jiuyou Palace, and the enemy will use his jade slips to lure him into the bait... But even thinking this way, Ye Shuo's footsteps did not stop for a moment.

If this is the case, then the consultant is in danger, and I have no choice but to come...!
Ye Shuo was still worried about possible enemy attacks until he stepped into the mansion, but when he saw the consultant standing in front of him, he knew that all worries were unnecessary!
"After escaping from Yixi Kingdom, in order to avoid being chased by Jiuyou Palace, I had no choice but to live a life of hiding in Tibet again." The consultant explained with a smile.To mention that thrilling escape time again, in order to avoid Ye Shuo's worry, it is just a passing word.

"I don't dare to send a message to you, I'm worried that the jade slip will be monitored... However, fortunately, I met the county magistrate Guo. He is an old friend of the patriarch of my Gu family. He took me in. Not only did he set aside a special hall for me to live in, but he also told me that it would be good to treat this place as if it were his own home. This time, I really met a noble person."

"My advisor said that, but this old man has no place to be ashamed." An old man with simple clothes and a big beard beside him stroked his beard and sighed softly, "At the beginning, I failed to save the Gu family. Seeking self-protection, but not daring to speak out openly, crusade against Jiuyou Palace, if you can't even preserve the only bloodline in the clan, then under Jiuquan in the future, you will really have no face to see the old patriarch."

"Magistrate Guo, you are so benevolent and righteous. The consultant and I thank you!" Ye Shuo solemnly clasped his fists at him.

"Okay, Ye Shuo, thank you, I will never be less thankful than you." The consultant stopped him with a smile, "Magistrate Guo is trustworthy, next, you should stay here for a few days, let's Brother, it's been a long time since we got together! I haven't asked you yet, I haven't seen you for three years, how are you doing?"

Ye Shuo smiled dryly. These three years of blankness were always an unspeakable scar for him...

"I stumbled and stumbled, and I finally broke through to the gas transformation level." Saying this, Ye Shuo suddenly raised his eyebrows with a smirk, "How about consultant, I am no longer the little burden that always needs your protection?"

He still remembered that when he was in the Xuantian Sect, although the consultant appeared to be "mediocre" like himself on the surface, his real strength was actually at the seventh stage of Qi cultivation.The two are called brothers, but they are so far behind in terms of cultivation, to Ye Shuo, after all, there is a bit of grudge.Now that he has finally made a breakthrough, it's time to show off in front of his old friends!

"Cough..." The consultant seemed a little embarrassed at this moment.With a dry cough, I touched my nose, "Just before you came, I just broke through to the second stage of Qizong."

So, after all, we still can't catch up... Ye Shuo felt lost for a moment, but soon, he smiled again. This time, he was really relieved for the consultant.

"Isn't that about to reach the Heaven-reaching Realm? You really deserve to be my brother! If things go on like this, even the Nine Serenity Palace won't be able to do anything to you soon, right?"

As soon as the Nine Nether Palace was mentioned, the advisor's expression suddenly became more serious: "No...my strength is far from the Nine Nether Palace after all. I'm afraid I can't feel at ease until I break through to the reincarnation realm..."

The second stage of Qizong, if you look at it from the perspective of the Xuantian sect in the past, it is indeed an unattainable leap forward. In Yixi Kingdom, which has no sky-reaching state, it can be regarded as the top group of masters.

However, if this kind of strength is placed on the entire spiritual continent, it is simply too small to be worth mentioning.Not to mention, confronting the most terrifying force head-on——

How many masters did the Gu clan have at the beginning, Qizong was everywhere, and there were many people in Tongtian and Nirvana, but the whole clan was not wiped out overnight...

Over the years, the more you know about Jiuyou Palace, the more you will know how unfathomable their background is.It is said that evil cannot prevail against good, but the power of "justice" is really too small.

"By the way, speaking of the Nine Nether Palace..." Ye Shuo activated his fingertips, and a piece of porcelain emerged, "Do you know what this is?"

The consultant took it over and carefully observed it over and over again: "It seems that the age should be quite old, longer than my Gu family's existence. Moreover, this is a very powerful artifact..." He paused at this point For a moment, "I'm afraid its holder back then was far stronger than the current Nine Nether Hall Master!"

"Scared?!" Ye Shuo was taken aback.In his mind, the consultant is basically equivalent to an encyclopedia.There must be nothing wrong with what he said, but... stronger than the Lord of Jiuyou Palace?The fragments that were accidentally obtained back then have such a big background?More importantly, if this person is still alive, I don't know... is it an enemy or a friend?
"But what makes me more concerned is that it was broken to such an extent..." The consultant frowned, "The strength of the holder is already terrifying, so what happened to the person who smashed this artifact?" realm?"

"That's right, the old man has read a lot of books. Apart from being able to see the extraordinary origin of this fragment, he still has no clue... Ashamed, ashamed." The county magistrate Guo also sighed and shook his head, "Ye Xiaoyou, I don't know this thing. Where did you get it from?"

"It's just a coincidence..." Ye Shuo replied blankly.At this time, apart from Shengxi holding the treasure in his hand, what he felt more was a kind of deep worry.

Everyone is innocent, and he is guilty of carrying a jade. According to them, if this artifact can be restored, it must be a very rare and top-level treasure.Holding such a thing will definitely attract more powerful enemies, even at his level, it is far from enough to deal with... It seems that I must be more cautious about the existence of these fragments in the future, and I must never be like before. It's easy to show people.

"However, the Nine Nether Palace has been collecting similar fragments in many ways recently. What can make them so solemn is definitely not an ordinary thing, so I want to get ahead of them—"

To avoid worrying the two of them, Ye Shuo didn't say that he had killed the Seven Venerables of the Nine Nether Palace because of this fragment.It's just that he knew in his heart that in this way, he must be on the must-kill list of Jiuyou Palace like the consultant.The battle for the future is truly endless.

"No matter what they are planning, it will definitely not be a good thing..." The consultant pondered for a while, then raised his head seriously, "Ye Shuo, you must take good care of this fragment!"

Ye Shuo nodded vigorously, put the pieces away again, and seemed to think of something again: "By the way, I'm planning to take part in the Tiangongmen assessment..." Seeing the surprise in the advisor's eyes, He continued with a smile: "I already know that, you said that the only person in this world who can save you, 'that lord', is the master of Tiangong, right?"

"Why don't we go together!" Ye Shuo raised his hands and put them on the consultant's shoulders, his eyes glowing with excitement, "In the future, under the watchful eyes of the master of Tiangong, the master of Jiuyou Palace will not dare to do anything to you no matter how rampant he is. ! And the unjust cases of your family, there are so many unjust cases in the Spirit World Continent, it's time for Jiuyou Temple to pay the price for what they did!"

Compared with his enthusiasm, the consultant is depressed.

"useless……"

Sighing, he pushed Ye Shuo's hand away.

"Ye Shuo, let me ask you a question. If I were a villain who was the enemy of the whole world, what would you do when everyone came to yell at me?"

Ye Shuo did not hesitate: "Of course I will stand by your side! Even if it means betraying the whole world!"

The consultant smiled bitterly: "So...do you understand now?"

Ye Shuo was startled, and it took him a while to figure out what the consultant meant, and tentatively confirmed, "...you mean...?"

The advisor nodded sadly.Indeed, Tiangong Master is the only one who can protect himself.But he is also someone who will never help himself in revenge.This Heavenly Palace Gate is a holy place for people all over the world, but it is not their own holy place.

"...No, it's still different." After a long silence, Ye Shuo looked firmly into the consultant's eyes.

"You will never become the master of Jiuyou Palace. I believe in you!"

In those eyes, the consultant saw trust and the courage to move forward.That is something that has never been erased from my good friend...

……

That night.

There was a knock on the door of Guo magistrate's room.As soon as he opened the door, what he saw was Ye Shuo with a serious face.

"Ye Xiaoyou, why haven't you slept yet?" County Magistrate Guo led him into the room, took off his coat from the hanger next to him, and put it on his body.

As soon as Ye Shuo stepped into the room, he closed the door with his backhand, and then knelt down in front of County Magistrate Guo with a "gudong".

"Magistrate Guo, I have something to ask!"

County magistrate Guo was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to help: "What's the matter? Come on, come on, get up and talk!"

Ye Shuo remained on his knees and said loudly, "If you don't agree, I won't get up!"

County magistrate Guo lowered his eyebrows and looked at him for a while, then finally let go and sighed deeply: "You... aren't you embarrassing me?"

Turning around slowly, her footsteps were extremely heavy, "Actually, I know what you want to say..."

Hearing this, Ye Shuo stood up excitedly and followed closely behind: "Since you have something, why don't you do it? I'm not forcing you to raise the flag of righteousness and openly resist Jiuyou Temple, but after the master of Tiangong came back, I asked him Submit a report letter, let him take a good look at what the Lord of Jiuyou Palace has done during the 2000 years he has been away, and let him see who he has worked so hard to raise up!"

"Didn't you say it before? When the Gu clan was exterminated, you couldn't do anything for them. You were ashamed of your old friend. Now is your chance to make up for it!" Seeing that the county magistrate Guo didn't answer a word, Ye Shuo's voice also raised higher.Speeding up her pace, she rushed to him, blocked his way, and did not allow him to escape.

"You can protect yourself for a while, but you can't protect yourself for the rest of your life. If the patriarch of the Gu clan knows it, don't you want him to see that he has made such a friend who only knows how to hide in a corner and protect himself in times of crisis?"

"I didn't just care about protecting myself..." County Magistrate Guo's gaze was evasive, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.Compared with Qingyue who was talkative during the day, he looks very old now.

"This time, the nephew of the Gu family is here. Didn't I take him in at the risk of losing his head? It's just that there are some things that I really can't do..."

"Is that useful?" Ye Shuo's voice doubled, "If the Nine Serenity Hall does not fall, the consultant's life will always be hanging by his waist!"

Blocking him again, Ye Shuo spoke earnestly.

"Some things have to be done by someone. If everyone only thinks about themselves and waits for others to do it, then the final result is that no one will do it! In this case, when will the evil be completely eradicated? , let those sinners get the punishment they deserve?"

Magistrate Guo trembled violently, as desperate as a terminally ill patient.On the one hand, morality and his own conscience, on the other hand, the desire for survival, the two sides collided fiercely, tormenting him until he was haggard.After a long while, he lowered his arms and burst into tears.

"Ye Xiaoyou! Don't force me anymore, okay? I'm not a loner, I have my own family, and I have to think about them in every move I make!"

"Could it be that only your family's life is important, and other people don't have family members, so their lives are not important?" Ye Shuo went further, "Nine Nether Palace kills and kills, how many innocent lives are killed every day, and how many lives are there? The families of the victims are mourning and weeping for them, have you ever thought about this?"

"Magistrate Guo, I think you are a good person with a sense of justice, that's why I'm here to say these things to you!" Ye Shuo took a deep breath, "If you still think that you are Parents and officials are good friends of the Gu family, please do your part to eradicate Jiuyou Palace!"

At this time, the county magistrate Guo was already half down, blindfolded, and tears of vicissitudes of life were running across his face.Ye Shuo didn't pursue him any further. He knew that if County Magistrate Guo was really a friend that the Gu family and his advisors had unanimously recognized, and if his official career hadn't shattered his conscience, then he would make the right choice.

After a long time, Magistrate Guo finally stood up straight again, and wiped away tears indiscriminately. Ye Shuo was pleased to see that in his eyes, he began to have a sense of belonging to a soldier.

"Ye Xiaoyou... You keep clamoring to punish rape and eradicate evil. I admire your courage. But how much do you really know about the Lord of Jiuyou and his past?"

Ye Shuo was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to ask for advice!"

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, is victorious in all battles. If one can really know the past of Palace Master Jiuyou, one might have a chance to find out his weaknesses.It just so happened that he also wanted to know what kind of experience it was that created such a maddened monster.Could it be that it was just a powerful force that fell from the sky?

Magistrate Guo walked to the low cabinet beside him, pulled out a scroll from the bottom layer, and spread it out on the table, but it turned out to be a map of the world.The roll surface has been slightly yellowed and looks quite old.

"The Lord of the Nine Nether Palace suddenly rose strongly more than 2000 years ago. It is said that his place of origin is just a tiny country."

"The gap between a small country and a powerful country is like the gap between a small mountain village and a capital city. The difference in resources means that no matter how powerful you are, you will have limitations. People who are born in a powerful country will never be able to compete with people from a powerful country on the world stage in the future, this is an iron law."

"So at the beginning, everyone was surprised that a person from a small country could achieve such a great achievement. But gradually, fewer and fewer people talked about it, and even the relevant historical records It was also destroyed, and it seems that it was the one who wanted to conceal his true origin."

"Although heroes don't ask where they come from, there are always some people who can't stand it. They wish they could make themselves perfect, as if they were born to be rulers appointed by the gods."

"That country has been destroyed for many years now, and a new country has been rebuilt on that land."

"As for the new country, it should be..." County Magistrate Guo raised his hand and drew a circle in a remote area of ​​the map.Ye Shuo's eyes widened when he recognized the location it represented.

"...Yixi Kingdom!"
