1382 Replaced Zhan Jiuxiao?
Prime Emperor Yu Tian closed his eyes and took a deep breath with his nose. Then, he opened his eyes and typed on the keyboard: [173 years ago, I was indeed in seclusion. However, when the fiendish cultivators wreaked havoc in the world in 170 years, I was already harmed by him.]
Seeing Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s answer, Yu Huang mentioned again, “According to what I know, the Demon Suppressing Eagle was refined by Zhan Jiuxiao through Master Duan Fen and it’s filled with Zhan Jiuxiao’s energy. Since Prime Emperor Yu Tian never partic.i.p.ated in this Demon Subduing War, why do you recognize this Demon Suppressing Eagle?”
[Because.] Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s eyes flickered a few times before he typed on the keyboard. [I was the one who proposed and designed the Demon Suppressing Eagle.]
After knowing the truth, Yu Huang and the others found it unbelievable.
!!“The Demon Suppressing Eagle was designed by you?” Sheng Xiao was in disbelief.
Nodding, Prime Emperor Yu Tian said: [Yes. More than 200 years ago, Zhan Jiuxiao once asked me if there were any more demons that wreaked havoc in the world, was there a way to completely eliminate them? I studied them for ten years before developing the Demon Suppressing Eagle. However, I never expected that this thing would actually be used by him to deal with Sheng Pinghui in the end.]
After typing this, Prime Emperor Yu Tian shook his slightly sore fingers.
After resting for a while, Prime Emperor Yu Tian deleted that sentence and typed a new message: [Yu Huang, you asked Lan Ji if there was a way to turn a righteous path Beast Tamer into a fiendish cultivator. Actually, there is.]
When she saw this, Yu Huang clenched her fists.
Prime Emperor Lan Ji widened his eyes in shock and questioned, “Why didn’t I know that there was a way to turn ordinary cultivators into fiendish cultivators?!”
Prime Emperor Yu Tian continued typing: [It’s normal for righteous path cultivators not to know about the mystic techniques of the demonic path.]
“He, Zhan Jiuxiao, is also a righteous path cultivator, so how did he know?” Prime Emperor Lan Ji was even more indignant.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian hesitated again and again before slowly typing on the keyboard. “I suspect that the real Zhan Jiuxiao died in the Demon Subduing War a thousand years ago. The current Zhan Jiuxiao isn’t Zhan Jiuxiao at all, but the great fiendish cultivator who should have been suppressed in the Black Sea.”
As for the reason, Prime Emperor Yu Tian didn’t explain in detail.
Even if Prime Emperor Yu Tian spent a day and night talking about it, he wouldn’t be able to finish it. Moreover, he could only type on the keyboard to communicate with them.
However, Prime Emperor Lan Ji was still shocked when he saw the information revealed by Prime Emperor Yu Tian. “Why would you have such a suspicion?” When the old patriarch of the War G.o.d Clan was still alive, Zhan Jiuxiao was still very young. At that time, he didn’t deal with the clan’s matters, so he naturally didn’t need to appear in public.
Prime Emperor Lan Ji had only interacted with Zhan Jiuxiao after Zhan Jiuxiao became the clan leader of the War G.o.d Clan. As for what kind of person Zhan Jiuxiao was in the past, Prime Emperor Lan Ji could only hear about it from others.
Zhan Jiuxiao had always been praised and acknowledged by others. However, ever since he took over the War G.o.d Clan, his way of dealing with people had become unfathomable. Now, the people had different opinions of the War G.o.d Clan’s Prime Emperor Jiuxiao.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian said: [Intuition.]
Prime Emperor Lan Ji muttered, “You can’t rely on your intuition for everything.”
At this moment, Yin Rong suddenly said, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s suspicion isn’t unreasonable.”
Yin Rong raised her head and looked at Yu Huang as she a.n.a.lyzed boldly, “We’ve all seen Madam Brulee before. Madam Brulee is a person of integrity and can’t tolerate any misconduct. Even if Prime Emperor Jiuxiao is good at disguise, Madam Brulee isn’t to be trifled with either. The two of them had been dating for many years, so if Prime Emperor Jiuxiao was really a hypocrite, it would have been impossible for Madam Brulee not to notice.”
“After hearing Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s opinion of Prime Emperor Jiuxiao just now, I felt that the man who pursued Madam Brulee in the early stages and fell in love with her was the real Prime Emperor Jiuxiao. The original Prime Emperor Jiuxiao must have been a proud and upright young man. However, later on, he was replaced. Gradually, he gave himself away and did such an immoral thing to Madam Brulee.”
After Yin Rong finished speaking, her face flushed slightly. Then, she lowered her head and said softly, “Of course, this is only my guess. I don’t know if it’s right or not.” Yin Rong wasn’t extremely smart, so she felt uneasy and embarra.s.sed to say such words in front of these smart people.
Prime Emperor Lan Ji didn’t know what had happened between Prime Emperor Jiuxiao and Madam Brulee, so when he heard Yin Rong’s words, he was confused.
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang agreed with Yin Rong’s opinion. Yu Huang said, “Yin Rong is right. The idea that Prime Emperor Jiuxiao was replaced by a fiendish cultivator sounds far-fetched, but it’s not impossible. Besides, only demonic cultivators know demonic techniques.”
Yu Huang looked at Prime Emperor Yu Tian again and asked in an extremely serious tone, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian, you said that there is indeed a secret technique that can turn a Beast Tamer into a fiendish cultivator, so do you know what it is?”
Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s lips quivered a few times and his fingers landed on the keyboard, but he didn’t type a single word. Instead, he raised them again.
He seemed to be worried about something.
It was related to the secret technique of a fiendish cultivator, so he probably didn’t want to explain it too clearly because he was afraid that Sheng Xiao and the others would imitate it.
Yu Huang guessed Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s concerns. Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal the details, she suddenly asked with certainty, “It’s related to the painting, right?” She seemed certain, but she was actually bluffing Prime Emperor Yu Tian.
Ye Qingyang looked at Yu Huang in admiration as he thought to himself, “This woman is really cunning, but… well done!” Yu Huang asked indirectly, but she could indirectly find out if there was anything fishy about the painting in Zhan Wuya’s room.
As expected, when Prime Emperor Yu Tian heard Yu Huang’s words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her. His gaze was sharp and filled with hatred, as if he was looking at his enemy through Yu Huang.
Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s reaction made Yu Huang understand that her guess was right.
Yu Huang leaned forward and moved slightly closer to Prime Emperor Yu Tian. Then, she lowered her voice and said clearly, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian, you know Zhan Wuya, right? Zhan Wuya is an outstanding and promising young man. He is kind-hearted and quite similar to you back then. However, when we went to the inner city of the War G.o.d Clan yesterday, we saw a painting filled with demonic aura in Zhan Wuya’s room. Not only that, but Zhan Wuya also had such a painting in his dormitory in the inner academy.”
“The painting in Cang Lang Academy is of a moth flying into the fire, while the painting of the inner city is a cicada molting painting. These two paintings seem to symbolize being reborn. If an elder gave me these two paintings, it could indeed be seen as an elder having high hopes for me and hoping that I can move forward without fear of danger. However, if that moth really becomes a pile of ashes after flying into the fire, after the cicada molts, what will be reborn is not a human, but a demon. Then… what should I do?”
