Hell Emperor

Chapter 178 Xia Wei-Decision

Just as Ye Jie was sighing, Xia Wei approached Wei Zheng again: "So... you reported everything you saw along the way to the Tang Dynasty?"

Wei Zheng nodded: "Not bad."

"So, what did he say? Has he abolished the imperial edict of killing infants?" Xia Wei asked urgently.

"As I promised, Your Majesty is not killing innocent people indiscriminately. This action is all to save the common people. Now that the truth of the prophecy has been found out, naturally no more babies will be harmed." Wei Zheng said sincerely.

Xia Wei fell into silence and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing her appearance, Ye Jie felt a little strange: "What's wrong? You did what you always wanted to do. You asked King Tang to withdraw the imperial edict and save all the babies born in the next few years. This is huge. Good thing, why don’t you look happy at all?”

Xia Wei looked bitter: "But, I didn't save all of them. The babies kidnapped by the Hengshan bandits and Aunt Wang's children are dead. Even if I save more people, those babies will not be affected by this." And come alive.”

Ye Jie comforted her: "You must know that there will be a time when manpower is exhausted. You cannot save everyone. You should focus more on what has been done than what you have failed to do. As long as you are sure that you have tried your best, no one will be left behind." Unfortunately, the outcome is not important, a clear conscience is the most important.”

As he spoke, Ye Jie sighed helplessly: "Speaking of it, now that the war is spreading, the dead can't rest in peace. Sometimes dying early is a good thing. At least those babies have now reentered reincarnation and do not have to be enslaved by their souls. "

Xia Wei clenched her fists tightly, with a bit of grief and anger flashing in her eyes: "Someone must pay the price for this! Even if everyone feels at ease with the dead babies, I will seek justice for them!"

Seeing her anger, Ye Jie quickly advised: "Calm down, Xiaowei, now is not the time to be impulsive."

Hearing the master's voice, Xia Wei suppressed the anger in her heart, took a few deep breaths, and then said: "Master... don't worry, Xiaowei won't cause trouble."

After receiving Xia Wei's assurance, Ye Jie felt relieved, and she said to Wei Zheng: "I remember you said that it was the immortal who sent a message to ask you to do this, right?"

Wei Zheng frowned, a look of deep thought flashed in his eyes, but he still said:

"That's right. About half a year ago, the immortal descended from the clouds and came to Chang'an City, showing His Majesty the tragic scene of the demon king's arrival. At that time, the earth was dyed red with blood, the land of China was sinking, all living beings were in ruins, and the heaven was about to be overthrown. Hades was about to die, and the King of Demons stood at the end of the battlefield. From that day on, His Majesty issued an imperial edict to eradicate the reincarnation of the Demon King from babies and eliminate all hidden dangers."

Hearing the contents of the prophecy again, Ye Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although Xia Wei saved many innocent babies, in a sense, it also made the prophecy come true. Who knows how many tragedies will happen in the future.

And for all this, Ye Jie, as Xia Wei's master, might not be able to escape the blame.

Xia Wei's back was slightly arched, and she roared in a sharp voice: "Even Master Guang Wang knows the secret of the death of the King of Demons. Don't those immortals know it? But the immortals didn't tell you anything, and instead allowed you to do what you did. Wrong move, what kind of immortal is this? Where is he now?"

Wei Zheng replied: "He is in Cuixianju in the south of the city. I can take you there."

Xia Wei gritted her teeth: "I'm going to see him now!"

Ye Jie opened his mouth, saying he won't cause trouble? From the look of Xia Wei, she didn't go to see the immortal properly at all, but went to find the immortal to ask for her sins. Now she's in big trouble!

"Calm down... Xia Wei, that's an immortal. Even if his realm is suppressed by the Equality Formation, the strength of the immortal cannot be underestimated. The body-protecting immortal essence alone makes the mortals below the immortal helpless. Do you really want to see the immortal? "?" Ye Jie asked.

Xia Wei nodded: "What about the immortal? I want to see what the immortal is capable of and why he deceived the people in Li Tang and made countless babies sacrifice in vain!"

Xia Wei's eyes are firm, and there is a bit of stubbornness in her eyes. She will never give up until she achieves her goal. Even an immortal can't escape her accusation.

Ye Jie looked at Xia Wei and understood that she had made up her mind and could only obey her: "Okay... I will go with you. If you really encounter any trouble, I can also turn into your magical weapon." , at least you won’t be at a disadvantage when it comes to magic weapons.”

Seeing that Master agreed, Xia Wei also looked happy.

Under the suppression of the Equality Formation, even an immortal can only show the strength of the fifth level peak. Therefore, compared to one's own realm, the magic weapon around him is particularly important.

The magic weapons used by ordinary immortals are nothing more than fourth- to sixth-grade magic weapons, and the ghost magic weapon transformed by Ye Jie has also reached the fourth-grade level. Even among low-level immortals, it is a very rare treasure. The same goes for immortals.

After all, Ye Jie was able to turn into a fourth-grade magic weapon, thanks to the effect of the Nether Spirit Art. Without this skill, Ye Jie, who was only at the second level, would not be able to participate in a battle at this level.

The Nether Spirit Divine Technique is a high-grade heaven-level technique created by the master of the Nether Spirit Palace. The principles contained in it are very close to the level of Taoism. It is impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with such a powerful magical technique in their lifetime. Thanks to Shen Qingge and Li Feimo, Xia Wei was able to learn this technique.

After learning the whereabouts of the immortal master, Xia Wei immediately set off, under the guidance of Wei Zheng, to Cuixianju.

"Do you want to follow too? That's an immortal..."

Seeing that Shen and Li were also planning to follow, Ye Jie asked, worried that if a conflict really broke out, they might be involved.

Li Feimo didn't take it seriously and laughed: "What's so great about immortals? Who among the ancestors of Xuannv Sect is not an immortal? I have seen so many immortals, but I won't be scared by immortals like you. ”

Unlike her who had no sense of urgency at all, Shen Qingge looked solemn and said calmly: "We are already here, and we also want to see the outcome of the matter. If Miss Xia Wei is really in danger, we can also help her. two."

Ye Jie nodded and asked no more questions.

Except for the two of them, the others did not follow, but stayed in the Wei Mansion, waiting for everyone to return.

Walking through the city, the vendors along the way were shouting constantly, the magnificent restaurants were bustling with people, and all the bustling scenes deeply attracted Li Feimo's attention.

"I feel like you... are not that desolate here." Li Feimo said curiously, "Before coming here, I thought that all of you were living in dire straits and did not understand the magnificence of the Immortal Sect at all. Now I see , you guys are quite lively here.”

Shen Qingge glanced at her: "Mo'er, I told you, don't be complacent and have a tolerant heart. Don't think that you understand everything just because you were born in a fairy sect. The purpose of traveling is to broaden your horizons. ,broaden knowledge."

Li Feimo stuck out his tongue and listened to Ye Jie say: "Qing Ge is right. The world is so vast. Ordinary people can only travel in one continent and one region after hundreds of years. Can you travel across the continent like you?" It is rare in Sizhou. This is a hard-won opportunity, so you must seize it. "

Li Feimo glanced at Ye Jie and asked curiously: "Brother Jie, judging from your appearance, you have lived for a long time. Haven't you visited other continents?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "There are so many things going on in this continent, how can I have the chance to go to other places?"

Li Feimo seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "In this case, after all this is over, you can come back to Beiju Luzhou with us. Maybe you can gain more knowledge there."

Ye Jie smiled: "I don't need to increase my knowledge, right? I've already seen too many things."

Li Feimo didn't think so: "How could it be? As the saying goes, live and learn, and I think you need it! How about it? Do you want to come to Xuannv Sect as a guest?"

Xia Wei puffed her lips and stood between Li Feimo and Ye Jie: "Master will not follow you. Master wants to follow me to Dongsheng Shenzhou to challenge the King of Demons, but I don't have time to go to your place. Hanging out!”

Seeing Xia Wei's serious face and no intention of giving in, Li Feimo gave her a helpless look: "Okay... I just said that, but Xia Wei, are you serious? Do you really want to go?" Challenge the King of Demons?”

Xia Wei nodded vigorously: "Of course! You also heard the prophecy just now. If the King of Demons is left alone, the world will usher in a catastrophe."

Li Feimo looked puzzled: "But... isn't there still Heaven? Isn't it enough to leave the matter of the King of Demons to the immortals in Heaven? If the immortals in Heaven can deal with the King of Demons, then it won't be You need to take action. If the immortals in heaven are not the opponent of the King of Demons, then it will be useless for you to take action."

Ye Jie's mouth twitched: "You don't need to take action no matter what, right?"

Li Feimo nodded and said: "Of course. You know, that is the King of Demons. How many immortals have died in his hands, what can we do? Xia Wei, if the sky falls, there will still be someone tall to hold it up. Why do you need to go into this muddy water to challenge the king of demons who once brought trouble to the three realms?"

Xia Wei didn't answer and changed the topic: "Do you remember when we first met? At that time, weren't you clamoring to do justice for heaven? Was that not your original intention, or was it forced by someone? You did this?"

Li Feimo was stunned and didn't understand what this meant: "Of course that was my original intention. After seeing the death of the Qingshi Town soldiers, I was still thinking about which thief did such a heartbreaking thing. Hey, I didn’t expect that it was you who did it.”

Xia Wei looked at her: "So, in the face of ordinary thieves, you choose to do justice for heaven, and in the face of the king of demons who is causing trouble in the three realms, you let the tall man stand up and hide in a safe place?"

Li Feimo was completely embarrassed and was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that Xia Wei's observation was so keen. After a while, he glanced at Xia Wei: "I didn't expect that you are also very articulate. I can’t even recognize the words...Xia Wei, you have really learned everything from your master!"

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "Just think that you are complimenting me."

Xia Wei looked back and secretly clenched her fists. Now she has reached the peak of the fourth level, but she is still far away from the real immortal. And the legendary King of Demons has killed countless people. Immortal, the strength of the two is absolutely different.

Even so, she had no intention of backing down when faced with the prophesied source of disaster. Even though the gap in strength was so intuitive, she still chose to do so without hesitation, simply because it was the right thing to do.

Ye Jie, who was talking to Li Feimo, also glanced at Xia Wei, saw all her reactions, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

Ye Jie could teach Xia Wei the exercises and literacy, but he could not teach her her strong and brave nature. Being able to receive this apprentice, Ye Jie can be regarded as finding a treasure. Her innocent heart that will never change until death is more precious than any treasure in the world.

Sensing Ye Jie's gaze, Xia Wei raised her head with emotion. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they both felt each other's trust. The silent warmth continued to spread in their hearts.

"By the way, Ye Jie, I heard that you arrived in Luoyang before and saw everything in the city."

At this moment, Wei Zheng suddenly remembered something and said to Ye Jie.

Ye Jie nodded: "Yes, at that time I learned the news about Luoyang's imminent attack from Wu Chang who attacked the countryside. I was about to go to the city to remind everyone. Unexpectedly, I was a step too late. By the time we arrived in Luoyang , that town has been attacked by the Lord of the Guangwang Palace, and all the people in the city have lost their traces."

Wei Zheng was stunned: "Lost? Wasn't he killed by a ghost soldier?"

Ye Jie shook his head and told the truth about what he saw not long ago: "That's not the case. We didn't find any corpses in that city. On the contrary, various scenes conveyed a message, that is, there was a corpse in the city. The residents were completely taken away in an instant, without any exception.”

"How could it be like this..." Wei Zheng was stunned and listened to Ye Jie's words. He did not doubt the authenticity of these remarks, but he couldn't help but confirm, "Are you sure you are not mistaken? Is that possible? Could it be that you missed something?"

Ye Jie just replied: "I am very sure of what I said. Not only me, but also my partner Li Ba, she has also seen everything in the city. You can ask her when you return to Wei Mansion later."

Wei Zheng took a deep breath: "There is no need to ask. I believe what you said, but this incident is too shocking. Before this, we all thought that Yang Guang wiped out all the defenders in the city with a fierce offensive. Logically speaking, with the defensive formation outside Luoyang City, this kind of situation would never happen. Now that we look at it, it seems that there is something hidden. "

Talking all the way, everyone soon arrived outside Cuixianju.

Looking into the distance, Wei Zheng was worried: "I can't accompany you to see Master Liu Xian. He is in Cuixianju. You can see him after you enter. The Luoyang Formation is almost the same as the Chang'an Formation. Something is wrong. I have to Please report to His Majesty as soon as possible."
