Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai patiently listened to Xia Jingzhi's confession and concluded that Xia Jingzhi confessed to many things, but there were only four things that Lin Bai was most concerned about.

The first thing Xia Jingzhi confessed to was that he conspired with Nanjiang Chonggu, pretended to betray Nanjiang Chonggu, and sneaked into the Chu Kingdom in the East to act as a spy.

Xia Jingzhi's confession also proved that Xia Jingzhi and Nanjiang Worm Valley were indeed inseparable.

Thousands of years ago, Xia Jingzhi was secretly summoned by the Worm Valley in southern Xinjiang. After secretly discussing with him, he decided on a strategy.

On the grounds that Xia Jingzhi "betrayed" the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley and stole the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley's treasure, he was forced to leave the Southern Territory and came to the Eastern Territory as the secret agent of the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley.

In order to prove the authenticity of this, Nanjiang Worm Valley even issued a "Devil Realm Pursuit Order" to prove that Xia Jingzhi had indeed broken with Nanjiang Worm Valley.

It was precisely because of the "Devil Realm Pursuit Order" that Xia Jingzhi was able to gain the trust of the third prince so quickly after arriving in the imperial capital of Chu, and became the third prince's confidant. Only then did he discover the following things.

After listening to this paragraph, Lin Bai asked curiously: "Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley and the Chu Kingdom are located in the south and the other is in the north. Why does the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley go to such great lengths to place a secret agent in the Chu Kingdom?"

This is a question that Lin Bai has never been able to answer.

The Insect Valley of Southern Border is located in the extreme south of the Demon Realm, while the Kingdom of Chu is located in the extreme east of the Demon Realm. The distance between the two is like the distance between heaven and earth.

Why did South Xinjiang Worm Valley go to such great lengths to plant secret agents in Chu?

Is it possible that the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley wants to defeat the Chu royal family and take control of the Chu country?

But this is not very realistic.

The distance between the two is too far. Even if the Southern Border Worm Valley defeats the Chu royal family, it is impossible for the Southern Border Worm Valley to govern the territory of the Chu State across thousands of mountains and rivers, right?

Lin Bai did not find the answer to this doubt from Xia Jingzhi's confession.

Xia Jingzhi only explained that he "conspired with Nanjiang Chonggu to sneak into the Chu State and act as a secret agent." However, when asked about the purpose of Nanjiang Chonggu's actions, Xia Jingzhi shook his head repeatedly, saying that he did not know.

Although the tortures of purgatory were inflicted on him in turn, he kept shaking his head, saying that he really didn't know.

Lin Bai looked at Xia Jingzhi's appearance, as if he was not telling lies.

He seemed to really not know the purpose of what Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley was doing.

Lin Bai raised this question, and His Highness Prince Chen lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Those monsters in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang naturally have some unbelievable ideas."

"We still need to torture Xia Jingzhi a lot to find out."

His Highness King Chen was careless and did not tell Lin Bai directly.

But Lin Bai could tell from His Highness Chen’s eyes and expression that His Highness Chen might have guessed it, but this might be a secret for the royal family, so His Highness Chen did not speak out.

Since His Highness Prince Chen had something unspeakable, Lin Bai did not continue to ask any more questions.

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Bai heard the second thing Xia Jingzhi confessed.

The second thing Xia Jingzhi confessed: After receiving the protection of the third prince in the imperial capital of Chu, and escaping the false pursuit in the Insect Valley in southern Xinjiang, Xia Jingzhi, who was seriously injured, quickly gained the trust of the third prince.

With the support of the third prince, Xia Jingzhi's injury quickly improved. After that, Xia Jingzhi helped the third prince do many things.

One of them poisoned the eldest prince and the second prince!

And in Xia Jingzhi's confession, he explained in detail how he poisoned and how he avoided the spy.

When he decided to help the third prince deal with the eldest prince and the second prince, under Xia Jingzhi's careful planning, he decided to refine the "God and Demon Tribulation", one of the seventy-five king poisons in the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley.

As for why he chose the Tribulation of Gods and Demons, Xia Jingzhi also gave an explanation.

The Tribulation of Gods and Demons is colorless and odorless, and the poisoned person shows no signs of poisoning. Only after the corpse is completely decomposed, the bones will appear pitch black.

But at that time, the corpses had already been buried in the loess, and who would go to open the coffin and examine the corpse?

The most important thing is... people with status like the eldest prince and the second prince are not weak in cultivation, and they all possess the cultivation level of Taiyi Daoguo realm.

After the death of a Taiyi Daoguo realm warrior, the physical body can remain incorruptible for a hundred years. If other secret techniques are used, it can even remain incorruptible for a thousand years.

As a member of the royal family, no one dares to peel open the bodies of the eldest prince and the second prince to examine their bones. This is disrespectful.

Therefore, Xia Jingzhi chose the Tribulation of Gods and Demons.

Xia Jingzhi refined the Divine Demon Tribulation. After the refining was successful, the third prince did not directly entertain the eldest prince, but instead entertained the eighth prince, who invited the eldest prince to come with him at will.

The eighth prince was hospitable, especially fond of eating and drinking, and was humorous. He was the best-mannered and liveliest among the many princes of Emperor Chu.

Moreover, the eighth prince has no scheming surrender and has good relations with many princes.

The third prince and the eighth prince have the best relationship.

If the eighth prince invites him, the eldest prince will definitely come.

Inviting the eldest prince to a banquet and drinking wine in the government office, Xia Jingzhi secretly put the refined Divine Demon Tribulation into the eldest prince's drink.

The eldest prince drank the wine, and the tribulation of gods and demons entered his body.

Five years later, the eldest prince went into seclusion to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation. The divine and demonic calamity lurking in his body suddenly broke out at the critical moment of the eldest prince's breakthrough.

The eldest prince fell like this!

This was the second thing Xia Jingzhi confessed to, which was how to poison the eldest prince.

After hearing this, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

From Xia Jingzhi's confession, we learned that the poisoning of the eldest prince was carefully planned and planned by Xia Jingzhi and the third prince.

Almost no flaws were left.

Lin Bai continued to listen.

The third thing Xia Jingzhi confessed to was poisoning the second prince.

After the death of the eldest prince, the third prince did not gain the trust and favor of His Majesty Chu Emperor as expected. On the contrary, after the death of the eldest prince, His Majesty Chu Emperor had extra trust in the second prince and intended to support the second prince to become the crown prince.

then.

The third prince showed his butcher knife again and asked Xia Jingzhi to refine the divine and demonic calamity again. He also used the same method to invite the eighth prince to a banquet and asked the second prince to come with him. He asked Xia Jingzhi to add the divine and demonic calamity to the second prince's drink.

The calamity of gods and demons then entered the body of the second prince.

Two years later, the second prince broke through the seclusion, and the divine and demonic calamity broke out again.

The second prince died.

After hearing these two things Xia Jingzhi confessed, Lin Bai felt relieved.

This confession was enough to ruin the reputation of the third prince.

The crime of framing and poisoning the royal family was enough to make the third prince miss the throne.

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Bai heard the fourth thing that interested him.

The fourth thing Xia Jingzhi confessed: The twelfth prince was also framed by the third prince.

Although Xia Jingzhi did not personally participate in this matter, he knew it very well and also contributed some efforts.

The thing is probably... After the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, the third prince got his wish and gained the trust and favor of Emperor Chu.

But the third prince discovered that Emperor Chu not only favored him. The twelfth prince seemed to have more favor than him, but not as much as the eldest prince and the second prince.

The third prince understood what Emperor Chu meant, and wanted him and the twelfth prince to compete with each other in a way of checks and balances.

Perhaps it was also because the eldest prince and the second prince died suddenly and mysteriously one after another, which made Emperor Chu feel suspicious and wanted to test many princes.

The third prince knew that he could no longer use the God-Devil Tribulation, otherwise it would inevitably arouse Emperor Chu's suspicion.

then.

He took matters into his own hands and dealt with the Twelve Princes.
