Chapter 162: I am not willing to be a brick
The lower-level martial gods who came to intercept him were no match for Quan Yizhen's fist and were killed on the spot. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Feng Xin, Pei Su, and Lang Qianqiu all jumped in front of Quan Yizhen, as if to attack him. Yin Yu said, "Don't worry about him! Don't touch him! He won't kill anyone again!"
As long as he doesn't stop Quan Yizhen from completing his orders, he won't hurt anyone. But Quan Yizhen has already killed more than a dozen martial gods, who dares to let him do it? Naturally, he won't believe Yinyu's words. If it were someone with strong reaction ability and calmness in the face of danger, he should immediately shout orders like "Lie down and surrender, don't move", but things happened too fast, and in a few moments, there was no time to react. Moreover, Yinyu probably had never experienced such a situation before, and coupled with panic, he made a mess of decision-making, one wrong step, and then another. In the chaos, Mu Qing suddenly appeared behind Yinyu and said, "Still want to run?"
Yinyu then realized that he was also running away aimlessly, so he quickly stopped and said in defense, "I'm not..." But Mu Qing grabbed him without saying anything. Xie Lian heard a crisp "crack" sound and Yinyu's face twitched slightly.
As a martial god, being controlled by a martial god with even greater abilities was truly a double blow to his body and mind. Pei Ming, who was watching the battle from behind but did not join in, asked from a distance: "Why does he seem to have suddenly become so powerful?"
He was talking about Quan Yizhen. Of course, Quan Yizhen was already very good at fighting, and with the help of Jinyixian, his fighting ability at least doubled. When other martial gods fought him alone, it was actually one-on-two, which was not fair, but because they didn't know the secret, everyone was embarrassed to join forces to besiege him, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing? After fighting, Quan Yizhen ran to the streets of Xianjing with blood all over his body, and suddenly saw a palace on the side of the road, and rushed in. Everyone shouted: "He entered the Yinyu Palace!"
Yinyu ordered him to "go", but he didn't say where to go, so he just went. Several martial gods followed him in. Because the others were conscious, they showed some mercy to Quan Yizhen, but Quan Yizhen didn't care and wanted to fight with the people who tried to stop him. This made several martial gods angry. Feng Xin shouted, "This kid is very evil, beat him down first!"
Everyone had already had this intention, and when he shouted, they lost all their reserve and started beating him up. Swords, palms, fists and feet flew everywhere, and the already slightly old Yinyu Hall collapsed in half!
Yinyu, who was being held down by Mu Qing, saw his palace collapse in the melee. His eyes widened and he shouted, "Stop fighting!"
With that shout, the other martial gods would not stop, but Quan Yizhen listened to his order and suddenly stopped. Now, swords, knives, fists and feet all hit him hard, and it was another tragic incident!
Lang Qianqiu didn't have time to retract his heavy sword, and it chopped into Quan Yizhen's shoulder. Fortunately, his sword was blunt to begin with, and he stopped the attack immediately, so he didn't split Quan Yizhen in half. He said, "Don't hit him, he seems unable to move!"
Feng Xin wiped the blood off his face and said, "Damn it, it's finally quiet!"
Quan Yizhen was lying straight on the ground, as if he was tied up. Mu Qing tied a rope to Yinyu's hand and let him go. Yinyu sat on the ground unconsciously, staring blankly at the mess of Yinyu Palace. After looking around, his eyes fell on Quan Yizhen in front of him. Quan Yizhen's vitality was surprisingly strong. He was beaten by several martial gods just now and was almost unrecognizable. After lying for a while, he suddenly sat up straight and asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
“…”
Several martial gods were so angry at him that they said in unison: "You are in big trouble!"
Lingwen had been following closely and watching. He finally took a breath with a pale face, but he could barely coordinate his hands. He put two fingers together and pressed them against his temple, and said in the spiritual communication array: "Medical officer, come and help!"
Quan Yizhen was still confused. He turned around and saw Yinyu sitting on the ground. He got up and seemed to want to help him. Looking at this completely clueless face with his own smashed temple in the background, Yinyu was silent, but his face twisted slightly.
Quan Yizhen had no idea what was going on, and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
“…”
Yinyu seemed to have suddenly lost his mind. He smiled abruptly, then said with red eyes:
"Kwon Yi-jin, why don't you just die? Can you just die?!"
Hearing this, Xie Lian, like many other priests present, opened his eyes wide instantly. Quan Yizhen received the order and executed it immediately without hesitation. He picked up a sword on the ground, grabbed his hair with one hand, and held the sword with the other hand, pointing it at his throat.
As soon as he made a move, several martial gods' first reaction was that he was going to attack by surprise, and they instantly retreated dozens of feet away. However, they did not expect that he was actually going to kill himself. It was too late to go up and grab the sword at this time, and they all roared. Yin Yu was also startled, but still did not react and turned his head away. Just as he was about to be bloodied on the spot, Jun Wu's figure suddenly flashed behind him!
Crack, crack, crack, in an instant, all of Quan Yizhen's limbs were removed.
Jun Wu hit him on the back of the neck again, neither too lightly nor too heavily. Quan Yizhen finally lost consciousness completely and fell back to the ground. He was no longer in human form and had turned into a pool of blood.
At this point, everyone, including Xie Lian, breathed a sigh of relief. However, Jun Wu did not.
He turned around, his face neither happy nor angry, and he said to Yinyu in a very serious manner: "Now that things have come to this, I think you should have an explanation."
Yinyu had just buried his head deeply in his hands. Hearing this, he subconsciously raised his head and said, "I don't know. It's not me. It's...!"
Having said this, he shuddered again, as if he had just realized what he had just said.
He actually told Quan Yizhen to die in front of so many eyes. And Quan Yizhen actually did it!
It was impossible that no one could see the clues. Mu Qing said, "Emperor, Qiying's reaction just now was definitely caused by evil magic. There must be something in him that can make him obey Yinyu's orders. I just don't know what it is."
Ling Wen, who was standing by, naturally knew what it was, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She was already at her limit to deploy manpower on the scene. Lang Qianqiu couldn't believe it and said, "There is such a thing in the world???"
At this time, a figure pushed through the crowd and rushed in. It was Jianyu. He had obviously gone out to look for it before he came back. He didn't know what happened. He said, "What are you doing? This is... What happened to our Yinyu Palace? How did it become like this?! Who smashed it!"
Jun Wu slowly walked to Yin Yu and asked, "What do you use to control him?"
Although his tone was not harsh, it was overwhelming and suffocating. Looking down from such a high position made people feel more terrified. Xie Lian had been in big trouble before, but he had never seen Jun Wu like this. So it seemed that Jun Wu had really let him off the hook and was particularly kind to him.
Yinyu was already in a state of confusion. According to Xie Lian, he was not mentally strong enough and his reaction ability was not strong. He was speechless at this moment. Seeing that he did not answer, Jun Wu said, "Forget it. Even if you don't say it, I know it. It's that armor."
It's over. It's over. It's all over.
Yinyu sat on the ground and hugged his head again. All around him was an overwhelming wave of voices:
"I am really shocked... In hundreds of years, I have never seen such an incredible thing in the Upper Heaven!"
"A priest controlled the mind of another priest, causing him to go on a killing spree. He killed more than a dozen priests, and then he was allowed to die?!"
"What a vicious heart..."
In the crowd, Jianyu's face turned pale when he heard such a big thing happened. But he gritted his teeth, rushed out, and knelt down and said: "Emperor! That armor was given to Quan Yizhen by me. It has nothing to do with Yinyu."
Yinyu finally came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice: "Jianyu..."
Jianyu gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Originally, I just wanted to teach that kid a lesson, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to cause such a big incident..."
Quan Yizhen was unconscious, lying in a pool of blood. The pharmacists and priests who had rushed over had surrounded him. Jianyu said, "I have always hated that guy, but Yinyu has always been very polite to him, and many people can testify to this. He has no idea about the armor!"
However, it was too late at this point. No one would believe that this had nothing to do with Yinyu. Someone immediately said, "You are a low-level priest of Yinyu Palace. You hate Quan Yizhen so much that you want to harm him. It is conceivable that the chief priest you serve will not be any better."
Someone even mocked, "He didn't know? How could he tell someone to 'go to hell' if he didn't know? Don't say he was just joking."
If Yinyu's previous reactions were all understandable and flustered, then his final words "go to hell" really cannot excuse him in any way.
Xie Lian recalled that Lingwen had told him that Yinyu was joking, which was a cover-up for Yinyu. Jianyu, however, was incredulous and said, “What? Stop talking nonsense. How could Yinyu say such a thing? He was always polite to that kid. How could he tell him to die? Yinyu, you didn’t say that, did you? You didn’t say that? You wouldn’t say that!”
However, Yinyu did not answer him and closed his eyes. Seeing Jianyu's refusal to admit it, the others were speechless and said, "We all heard it with our own ears, how can you deny it?"
Jianyu said anxiously: "There must be a misunderstanding! There are many things you don't know!"
"No matter what misunderstanding there is, do we know that even if it's a huge misunderstanding, you can't want to kill your own junior brother, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yinyu and Jianyu were speechless. So, the other priests continued to discuss, "I heard that since Quan Yizhen left and established his own temple, the people in Yinyu Palace have ignored him. Every time Quan Yizhen came, they always said he was not in the temple. I was surprised at first, but it turns out that they have been displeased with him for a long time..."
"Come to think of it, didn't someone make a mistake during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet a few days ago? I saw that the two of them looked very unhappy at the time."
These are all facts that cannot be refuted, but the conclusion is not: "I know about that, it is quite embarrassing, but it is not necessary to hurt others..."
"Yeah, that's too narrow-minded..."
Jianyu's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted, "I told you it had nothing to do with His Highness. I did it all by myself! I've admitted it, what else do you have to say?!"
However, now he couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. In the eyes of others, this could only prove that Yinyu had a subordinate who was both vicious and loyal. Moreover, with just one sentence, he could stop all the excuses: "It was not someone else who told Quan Yizhen to die!"
Seeing the noise getting worse, Jun Wu said in a deep voice: "Take them all away. Lingwen, you stay here and watch Qiying."
Lingwen bowed his head and Junwu left Yinyu Palace with his hands behind his back. Several martial gods pulled Yinyu up, and Yinyu was absent-minded and said, "Forget it, Jianyu. Let's not talk about it."
Jianyu was also pulled up and tied with the Immortal Binding Rope. He said, "It was alright before, but it can't be alright this time! If you let it go, you're done! You will be demoted, for sure!"
Yinyu sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll be demoted if I'm demoted. There's no point in me staying in this place."
Jian Yu said angrily, "...You, you should never, ever, say that last sentence. Just this one sentence beat you so hard that you couldn't get up! You never scold him normally, so why did you let him die at this moment? Just this one sentence!"
Yinyu seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant, his eyes turned gray. He seemed a little confused himself, shook his head and said, "I don't know why, I just... Oh, I won't explain."
After stumbling a few steps under the escort, Jianyu suddenly asked, "Why?!"
Everyone looked at him. Jianyu said, "You're not less hardworking than him! You're ten thousand times better than him! Quan Yizhen, that's nothing! I just hate him, so what? Why is he like that and you like that? Why isn't he the one being demoted?"
He hated it so much that he gnashed his teeth, hated it with all his heart, hated it so much that he shed tears. However, many things in this world are not useful just by working hard.
Maybe he understood it in his heart, but he just couldn't accept it and couldn't swallow it no matter what.
After hearing him shout, Yinyu couldn't move anymore.
He buried his face in his hands, and suddenly collapsed in front of Yinyu Palace, roaring, "Enough! I said stop talking!!! Let me go!"
He covered his ears and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop reminding me again and again, please stop talking, I beg you to stop talking!!!"
Xie Lian couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so he said, “…Forget it!”
Then, Hua Cheng removed the image and the two of them slightly separated their foreheads.
After holding it for so long, Xie Lian felt his forehead was a little numb, a little itchy, and hot. He reached out to rub it, but couldn't free his hands. Hua Cheng seemed to notice his subtle discomfort, raised his hand to help him rub it, and then naturally put it down. Outside the stone wall, Yin Yu, wearing a ghost mask, walked back and forth for a while, and said coldly to Quan Yizhen: "Do you want to come out?"
He deliberately changed his voice. Quan Yizhen nodded and said, "I want to."
Yinyu said, "Okay. Look here!" After that, he smashed Quan Yizheng's head with a shovel at lightning speed!
With a loud bang, Quan Yizhen fell silent and his head dropped. Xie Lian was shocked: "No way. Did he die just like that? Really?"
Hua Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. He's not dead. He just fainted."
Yinyu dug a shovel and exhaled. In the end, it seemed that he decided to dig Quan Yizhen out of the wall, so he picked up the geomancer's shovel and started digging. Xie Lian understood.
If he rescued Quan Yizhen directly, Yinyu would not be able to defeat him, and his identity might be exposed, which would be really bad. The relationship between these two brothers was really bad, and it was hard to say who was worse. It was better to pretend that they didn't know each other. Xie Lian said, "Sanlang, should we also find a way to get out?"
Hua Cheng seemed to be quite comfortable staying inside, and asked, "Huh? Are you going out now?"
Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, “What else? Do you want to live in there?”
Hua Cheng said, "If it's with my brother, it's fine. Okay. Just kidding." He straightened his face and covered Xie Lian's ears with his hands. Xie Lian asked, "What are you doing?"
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to walk out step by step, so I'll just blow it up directly."
“…”
Xie Lian was wondering if the explosion would hit the people who were also swallowed by the mountain monster, but his expression suddenly changed slightly and he said, “Wait.”
Hua Cheng's expression was the same as his, and he put down his hand. The two of them listened attentively, and after a moment, Xie Lian whispered, "Did you hear that?"
Hua Cheng also said in a deep voice: "I heard it."
Yinyu was digging a hole with a geomancer's shovel on this side of the stone wall. On the other side of the stone wall, there was also a person talking.
They didn’t use the silver butterfly to monitor, they heard the voice directly, because the person was very close to the stone wall, almost sticking to the stone wall to speak. Xie Lian held his breath and listened quietly, hearing some buzzing, intermittent and vague words, such as "eaten?" "Go to heaven" and "God of War". His heart was slightly moved, and he looked at Hua Cheng and tried to get closer to the side where the voice came from.
The voice belonged to a man, and he seemed to be talking to someone, because he would pause for a while after every few words. However, Xie Lian did not hear the voice of the person he was talking to, perhaps because the other person was far away.
After quietly moving, the voice became clearer. Although it was still blurry, Xie Lian heard a more complete sentence.
The man said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too. I don't want to have to go this far, and I'm sure you don't either, but he is already beyond help."
Xie Lian thought to himself, “Me? Why am I hopeless? Wait, this voice…”
This voice was very familiar. He must have heard it somewhere before, and heard it a long, long time ago, not just once or twice. But because it had been a long, long time, he couldn't match the voice with the person. Just as he was thinking hard, the man said, "Let him end it here."
Suddenly, Xie Lian remembered who the owner of this voice was.
He moved his lips and said silently: "National Master?!"
The person outside the stone wall on the other side had the same voice as his mentor in Xianle Country!
