Mu Qing took a deep breath and admitted, "...Indeed, I was the one who injured Feng Xin.

Feng Xin was furious: "I knew it was definitely you!"

Mu Qing said to Xie Lian, “But that’s because Xianjing is doomed! At that time, all the priests were trying to find a way to escape, but he stayed there and refused to leave. He wouldn’t listen when I told him to leave. If he stayed any longer, he would be burned to death by the karmic fire sooner or later. That’s why I planned to knock him out and throw him to you!”

Xie Lian said, “But you didn’t hand him over to me. Feng Xin disappeared, but he showed up here.”

Mu Qing said: "Because there was a little accident on the way."

"What accident?"

Mu Qing said: "The fetal spirit. It suddenly attacked from behind, biting me non-stop, and wouldn't let me take him with me. Before I could pull him up, the Immortal Capital began to disintegrate and reorganize, so..."

So, Feng Xin was moved to an unknown place along with the land beneath him.

If what he said is true, it means that Mu Qing originally wanted to do a good thing, but accidentally caused trouble and screwed Feng Xin, which is very embarrassing.

Xie Lian asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me earlier…” Feng Xin also said, “You really wanted me to be burned to death in Xianjing? So you knocked me out and threw me there?”

Mu Qing's face froze, and he said to Xie Lian, "The fetal spirit has been squatting on his chest, and later the female ghost Jian Lan also came. I thought she would wake up Feng Xin or move him away, so that he would not be burned to death."

Xie Lian also understood. He took the initiative to come out to save people, probably because he felt guilty. After all, he was the one who knocked Feng Xin unconscious and lost him. Out of responsibility, he naturally had to do his part. No wonder he was uneasy all the way, probably because he was worried whether Feng Xin would die...

However, this explanation was hard to believe. Feng Xin grabbed his hair wildly: "What you did is simply too much! Don't you know I'm looking for someone?! If you hadn't knocked me out, I might have found him!"

Mu Qing said calmly, "That fetal spirit is Bai Wuxiang's subordinate. Bai Wuxiang will not harm them. And they don't want to go with you. You're just wasting time staying there. It's useless to shout a thousand times. It's better to leave Xianjing first to save your life, and then look for it later when you have a chance. Do you have to rush to such a critical moment to do some parent-child recognition? I just made the most favorable judgment under the circumstances at that time."

Feng Xin was not as calm as him: "What a benefit! You can only say such things if he is not your family member! Wait, so you mean, you wanted to save me and let me leave?"

Hua Cheng said, "Don't waste any more time talking about other nonsense. Answer my question: What did Jun Wu say to you?"

Mu Qing shut up and hesitated for a moment.

Hua Cheng stared at him again and asked, "Are you obeying him now?"

Mu Qing immediately said: "Absolutely not!"

Hua Cheng said: "Then please explain this curse."

Mu Qing had been arguing for so long that his mouth was dry. After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice: "I said...you may not believe it."

Feng Xin said, "When I asked you just now, you denied it to the death. Now you admit it. Of course it's hard to believe."

Mu Qing said angrily, "Why don't I admit it? If I told you what happened just now, you definitely wouldn't believe it! Who would admit it with the same attitude? Once I admit it, I can't argue. It's better not to admit it!" Besides, although Feng Xin was fortunately fine, it would be embarrassing to talk about it later. With his personality, it's normal for him not to want to admit it. Xie Lian had been listening patiently and said, "Let him finish first."

Mu Qing glanced at Xie Lian for a long while before he said with difficulty, “This is… because he asked me to harm His Highness, but I refused, so…”

At this point, he felt awkward and couldn't continue. Hua Cheng said, "So, he got angry and put a curse on you?"

Admiration is silent.

Feng Xin said, "Nothing else?"

Hua Cheng had no special expression on his face. He said, "Honestly, do you believe what you said?"

“…”

Mu Qing seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, and said coldly: "Believe it or not. There was a misunderstanding about me knocking Feng Xin unconscious, but I didn't take orders from anyone."

Feng Xin said: "Mu Qing, you should tell the truth."

Seeing his expression, Mu Qing's knuckles cracked as she said, "I'm telling the truth! What do you want to hear? I surrendered and Jun Wu turned against you, right? Isn't that who I am in your hearts, Your Highness?!"

He looked at Xie Lian, his eyes were excited. Xie Lian stared at him for a long time, thinking, and was about to speak, but Hua Cheng crossed his arms, blocked him, met Mu Qing's eyes, and said in a calm voice: "There is no need to look at your Highness like this, after all, you have already had a precedent."

Mu Qing said: "I didn't ask you! What precedent?"

Hua Cheng smiled and said, "What precedent? Is it smooth to cultivate in the blessed land snatched from His Highness?"

There was a hint of coldness in his smile, and his tone was even more sinister. Mu Qing was stunned, his face turned pale, and he took two steps back involuntarily, saying: "You!..."

He knew that he hadn't acted very kindly in the dispute with Xie Lian over the blessed land, so he was most afraid of people finding out and pointing fingers at him. Although Hua Cheng's tone was smiling, he was actually aggressive.

Mu Qing was shocked, but Xie Lian was also shocked. He was shocked at how Hua Cheng knew about this.

Xie Lian and Feng Xin were not gossipy people, and never liked to gossip about others behind their backs or spread rumors. Although Mu Qing's departure was a big blow to them, they never complained to others. As for the fight for the blessed land, Xie Lian never wanted to mention it again and did not talk about it with anyone. I believe Feng Xin was the same.

The thirty-odd priests would naturally not tell anyone that they had robbed someone’s spiritual land, and would either keep it a secret or distort the story. So Xie Lian never heard of this incident from anyone else.

If that’s the case, how did Huacheng know about it?

Although he had planted many spies in the Heavenly Palace, this happened too long ago, more than 800 years ago, and most of the parties involved never mentioned it. How could such an old debt be investigated?

Mu Qing asked, "How do you know? Who told you?" He looked at Feng Xin, then at Xie, and finally at Xie Lian. Hua Cheng sneered, "You don't need to look at His Highness, His Highness never tells me these things. This is what you shouted on the top of the snow mountain, have you forgotten?"

Mu Qing's face turned even paler. Xie Lian's doubts were somewhat resolved, and he couldn't help but blush slightly.

When Feng Xin and Mu Qing started arguing, they would dig up all the dirty tricks and expose each other's past. They would definitely throw all the old debts at each other. No wonder Hua Cheng was so angry at that time. However, he felt that something was not simple.

Because Xie Lian remembered another incident - the red-robed ghost burning down the Wenwu Temple. Hua Cheng became famous in one battle, defeating 33 priests and burning down all their temples in the human world.

Xie Lian had long forgotten how many priests had fought with him for the blessed land. He didn’t even remember their names, appearances, or what they had said. He only vaguely remembered that there were about thirty of them.

So, how many thirty are there exactly?

Could it be the thirty or so priests back then?

If so, then doesn’t that mean Huacheng already knew about this?

After a long while, Mu Qing reluctantly said, "That time was that time, this time is this time! Anyway, I never thought about it..."

A few people were arguing when suddenly, Xie Lian kicked out and shouted, “Be careful!”

Mu Qing was caught off guard and was kicked down by him. With two whooshing sounds, two cold rays of light passed over him and were nailed to the wall. Mu Qing jumped up, slapped off the shoe prints on his chest, and said, "Did you do this on purpose?! Who was the first to attack?"

Xie Lian said in a hurry: "Sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean it!" If it was intentional, Mu Qing would have smashed a human-shaped hole in the wall by now. Everyone turned around and saw two sharp swords nailed to the wall, the blades were still trembling, Feng Xin shouted: "Who?!"

Xie Lian said, “No one. They just moved on their own!”

Ding-dang-dang, clang-clang. From all directions, murderous auras surged. The weapons hanging on the walls became restless and trembled wildly, shaking the entire room!

Xie Lian said, “Get out now!”

Unexpectedly, when he ran to the place that was originally the exit, Feng Xin said, "Why are you running there? There is no way! Where is the door? There shouldn't be a door in this house?! How can we get out?"

Xie Lian asked, “There was a door originally! But it’s gone! What’s up with these weapons? Why are they suddenly filled with murderous intent?”

Hua Cheng used two fingers to hold a long sword flying towards him. Without exerting much force, the sword broke into pieces and fell to the ground with a crackling sound. He said, "It has been too long since anyone used it. It was lonely. It sensed someone coming in and wanted to kill me."

The others subconsciously turned their heads to look at Mu Qing. Mu Qing immediately said, "It's none of my business!"

Hua Cheng said: "But, you were the one who brought us in."

Mu Qing said: "I showed the way because I saw the fetal spirit!"

Hua Cheng said, "Only you saw it."

Mu Qing was speechless and clenched his fists. Feng Xin said, "What should we do now? Can't these weapons be quieted down?"

Before Hua Cheng could reply, Xie Lian suddenly remembered that he had dealt with similar monsters before, and murmured, "Yes! But... we have to let them kill."

Feng Xin said, "But we can't get out of here now. There are only four of us trapped here. How can we kill? What can we kill?"

Just as Xie Lian was about to speak, Hua Cheng suddenly said, “Three.”

Feng Xin: "What three?"

Hua Cheng said: "Just a correction. There are only three people imprisoned here."

Xie Lian turned his head sharply. As expected, the fourth person in the armory, Mu Qing, had suddenly disappeared!

It was absolutely true! The place where Mu Qing had been standing was now empty. Feng Xin was stunned: "How could this be?! He was standing here just now!"

Hua Cheng was not surprised. After all, he had encountered this kind of thing once before. He said, "This is Bai Wuxiang's territory. Everything is subject to his orders. He is unscrupulous and can take away anyone he wants."

“…”

If Feng Xin was 80% sure and 20% skeptical before, and his sharp words to Mu Qing were mostly just angry words, now, he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he said: "Your Highness, Mu Qing, he, could it be true...?"

Xie Lian immediately said, "Let's not talk about this for now. These weapons are about to explode. Let's find a way to quiet them down first, or they will be chopped into paste!" As he said this, he pulled the heart from his back. But Hua Cheng suddenly held his hand down.

Xie Lian was stunned, and looked up, only to see Hua Cheng staring at him, with a faint bloodshot in one of his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "Brother, what do you want to do by drawing your sword?"
