Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 160: The Four Legendary Holy Places

"Gu Qiuhong?" Lan Xueruo's words surprised Yun Che, and then he fell into deep thought. The person who can make Cang Wanhe allow him to cut his body or heart must be someone he trusts or is close to. Yun Che originally thought it would be the prince, the third prince, or other princes, but he didn't expect that the person Lan Xueruo called out was actually Gu Qiuhong.

And as Lan Xueruo said, Gu Qiuhong seems to have no reason to deliberately harm Cang Wanhe, unless...

"Yun Che..." Cang Wanhe's expression was extremely complicated. He asked with some difficulty: "Is this kind of Gu that exists in the heart veins extremely difficult to detect?"

Yun Che understood why he asked this question, and said seriously: "It is indeed difficult for ordinary doctors, especially those who have not been involved in poisonous poisonous insects, to discover its existence. However, if there is really a legend about Gu Qiuhong's medical skills, then It's impossible for Gao Gao not to discover the existence of the 'Soul-Eating Tongming Gu'. Of course, if it was him... he certainly wouldn't be able to 'discover' it."

"I understand..." Cang Wanhe exhaled a heavy breath, leaning back on the couch, his face pale, as if he had become much older all of a sudden: "Yue'er, there is nothing wrong, all the facts are there It proves that the person who planted the poison is Gu Qiuhong. The scar on my chest was left by him three years ago. It was also after that day that I was seriously ill for three years. Yun Che had forced the poison out to show us. Yes, it does exist, this is the most real fact, and everything else... is false. "

At this moment, he felt that he had become the emperor in vain. In the past three years, he had been trusting and even respecting a person who poisoned him. Thinking about it at this moment, he, the mighty Blue Wind Emperor, had been played like a fool. Amidst the applause...it was really stupid and ridiculous.

"But why did Master Gu do this? Our royal family has always been on good terms with him, and even our father respects him. How could he do such a thing?" Lan Xueruo still found it hard to accept, her lips tightened. bite together.

"He may not have a direct reason, but there must be an indirect reason. For example, the deal between Cang Lin and Cang Shuo and him... may also involve the Xiao Sect or the Burning Heaven Clan. And... Yue'er, you have too pure a heart. , you have always respected Gu Qiuhong, and even regarded him as a saint. But when I interacted with him in the early years, I found that his character was not as kind and harmless as he appeared on the surface. On the contrary, he would sometimes do things secretly. Disgraceful behavior. But his medical skills are unquestionable, so I have been trying to make friends with him. But there are too many people who want to be friends with him. Compared with those huge sects, my status as an emperor is limited. , maybe it’s nothing at all.”

Cang Wanhe shook his head, with sadness on his face. As an emperor, he was tortured to such an extent in silence. He was bedridden for three whole years and had trouble staying in the palace. It was almost as if he was dead. And if he was not "sick", Cang Lin and Cang Shuo would dare to act rashly, and there would be no chance of attracting a wolf into the house.

"Yun Che, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not know why until my death. At the end of my life, I might still be ignorant and grateful to the person who harmed me." Cang Wanhe smiled mockingly to himself: " I was really ashamed to question your medical skills before.”

"Your Majesty, please don't say that." Yun Che quickly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have a doubt about you being poisoned, and I would like your Majesty to answer it. Of course, if this matter involves the secrets of the royal family, Your Majesty, you don’t have to answer me at all.”

"You ask. I am already dying, and my last wish is all for Yue'er. You are Yue'er's most trusted person, so I have no secrets from you." Cang Wanhe closed his eyes and looked calm. No waves.

Yun Che was moved for a moment... These words came from an emperor's mouth, and they carried such weight. These few words reflected the darkness in Cang Wanhe's heart, and even more so, his doting on Lan Xueruo. After being ill for three years, he finally saw clearly what the most valuable asset he had in his life was... not his position as emperor, not his beloved ministers and seven sons, but his only daughter.

Yun Che said slowly: "As far as I know, it is extremely difficult to cultivate the soul-devouring and life-eating Gu seeds. Not only is the source of the Gu hard to find, but also during the cultivation, at most one out of a thousand Gu seeds can be successful, and the others are... Death Gu. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and cost to obtain a Soul-Eating Life-Destroying Gu seed. After the Soul-Eating Life-Destroying Gu enters the body, it is extremely difficult to detect, and the victim will become weak and age quickly. You will die within five years. After death, the Soul Devouring Gu will also die simultaneously and turn into a pool of blood in the body of the person who has been poisoned, leaving no trace of its existence. Therefore, this kind of Gu is usually used without any trace. The traces of death make it impossible for people to discover the true cause of his death, and instead think that he died of illness. "

"But according to rumors, the crown prince and the third prince are eager to fight for the throne, and Xiao Sect and Fentian Clan are secretly adding fuel to the flames. The reason why Gu Qiuhong placed a poison on the emperor must have something to do with them. But since they are eager to let the emperor die, why not Using quicker methods like assassination and poisoning, but going to great lengths to use this method that is not only troublesome but also takes a long time to kill? If the Xiao Sect and Fentian Clan really have that kind of ambition, do they choose to assassinate or do it secretly? Poison killing should be the most normal thing. The only explanation I can think of... is that there is something behind the emperor that makes Xiao Sect and Fentian Clan afraid of leaving any traces? "

When Yun Che was halfway through speaking, Cang Wanhe knew what he wanted to ask. When Yun Che finished speaking, he nodded slowly, without hiding anything from Yun Che, and replied in a low voice: "It's because of Tianjian Villa."

"Tianjian Villa?"

"The Blue Wind Royal Family and Tianjian Villa were founded on the same day in the same year. My ancestors and the founder of Tianjian Villa are brothers with different surnames. After the Blue Wind Royal Family took control of the world's political power, they have been trying their best to promote Tianjian Villa. It grew until it became the number one sect in the Blue Wind Empire, and Tianjian Villa has always existed as the guardian sect of the royal family. Although as time went by, the relationship between the royal family and Tianjian Villa gradually became estranged. There are some agreements between us, but they have never been broken. They will not have any involvement in the internal actions of the royal family, but if there is an external force that threatens the royal family, they will take action. And if I am assassinated or killed by poison, they will definitely take action. , investigate thoroughly.”

"...But, Xiao Sect, Burning Heaven Clan and Tianjian Villa are also called the four major sects. Will they be so afraid of Tianjian Villa?" Yun Che said with some confusion.

Cang Wanhe shook his head slightly: "You may not know something. Although they are called the four major sects, in terms of overall strength, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Xiao Sect, and Burning Heaven Clan cannot compare with Tianjian Villa even if they are added together. Although Tianjian Villa is called the same as them, it completely surpasses them in terms of level, and the background of Tianjian Villa makes the other three sects tremble."

"Background? Is there any background in Tianjian Villa?" Yun Che was surprised again. Tianjian Villa is already the number one sect in the Blue Wind Empire, it is already at its peak, yet it still has a background?

"Have you ever heard of the 'Four Holy Lands' of Tianxuan Continent?" Cang Wanhe asked.

"The Four Holy Lands... I seem to have heard my grandpa mention it occasionally..." Yun Che thought for a while and suddenly said: "But aren't the Four Holy Lands things in legend? Do they really exist?"

"Haha, if we talk about the level, the Four Holy Lands are indeed legends, and even exist like myths. Even I am not qualified to touch that level, not even qualified to look up to it. The four major sects of our Blue Wind Empire are in These four holy places are as insignificant as ants. As long as these four holy places are willing, it will be easy to destroy the seven kingdoms of Tianxuan."

"Surprisingly... there is such an existence." Yun Che was shocked: "Could it be that the background of Tianjian Villa is one of the Four Holy Lands?"

"That's right." Cang Wanhe nodded slowly: "The Holy Land of Emperor, Sun and Moon Palace, Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain, and Supreme Ocean Palace...these are the names of the four holy places of Tianxuan. They are due to some kind of 'protection' The Tianjian Villa exists because of its mission and never participates in or interferes with the battles between the seven nations. The Tianjian Villa is related to the Mighty Tianjian Sword Domain among the Four Holy Lands because the founder of the Tianjian Villa is a certain member of the Mighty Tianjian Sword Domain. The eldest son of the supreme and powerful man in Junxuan Realm, but because of his poor qualifications, he was not qualified to stay in the Mighty Tianjian Sword Territory, so he was expelled. Later, he founded Tianjian Villa on this land, and the name of Tianjian Villa was used. The sword technique also has the shadow of the 'Mighty Sword Technique'."

An abandoned disciple of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain was actually able to establish the largest sect in the Blue Wind Empire. The horror of these four holy places is simply unimaginable.

"Due to the relationship between our ancestors, Tianjian Villa will make offerings to the Mighty Sword Domain every three years. At first, the Tianmighty Sword Domain ignored it, but then finally accepted it, allowing Tianjian Villa to be established with the Mighty Sword Domain. Although this connection is very shallow and fragile, it is the Tianwei Sword Territory after all. Even if there is only a trace, no one dares to bully Tianjian Villa. I have also heard that Tianwei. A hundred years ago, Jianyu secretly hid a very important 'demon' in Tianjian Villa, which shows that it also attaches great importance to Tianjian Villa. "

"The major sects in the Blue Wind Empire have been fighting openly and secretly all year round, but no sect has ever thought of shaking the position of the number one sect of Tianjian Villa. They want me to die, but they have to worry about Tianjian Villa, so they use this This method leaves no trace, which is perfectly normal.”

After Cang Wanhe finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, his face full of exhaustion.

Yun Che didn't speak for a long time, silently digesting what Cang Wanhe said.

Lan Xueruo, who was upset, did not listen to much of what they said, and these were not her biggest concerns. She grabbed Yun Che's sleeve and said nervously: "Junior brother Yun, you haven't told me yet. We...since you know this kind of poison, is there any way to get rid of it?"

Yun Che continued to be silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Ah -" Lan Xueruo let out a cry of surprise, and her beautiful eyes instantly became extremely bright. Cang Wanhe also opened his eyes all of a sudden, his gray eyes showing the luster of longing: "Yun Che, what you said... are you serious? Isn't this an unsolvable poison?"

"All things are in balance and mutually reinforcing each other. In this world, there is no poison that cannot be solved. However, to solve the 'soul-eating and same-life poison', it is easy to say, but difficult to say... but it is also difficult to reach the sky." Yun Che said calmly.

"How to solve it?" Lan Xueruo tightly grasped Yun Che's arm, her face flushed with excitement: "As long as I can save my father, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it."

"Soul-Burning Flower." Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo and said the name softly: "With just one petal of the Soul-Burning Flower, I can remove the 'Soul-Eating Same Fate Gu' from the Emperor's body. It’s just that this soul-burning flower… is hard to find in the world.”
