"Quickly, protect Master Tang!"
"Take down the enemy!"
The Tang family's guards were finally awakened by the commotion and rushed to their aid.
The guards, armed with crossbows, aimed them at Bao'er, Lin Fengxue, and the others.
Tang Ning roared, "All of you, stand back!"
"This is my savior; you all must leave at once."
"No, someone come here."
"To collect Tang Yu's remains."
"Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into the origins of the person who delivered the medicine, and all relevant personnel were taken into custody."
His adopted son stood in front of him, giving him a chance to live, but lost his life in the process.
Tang Ning could only collect the body first and then handle the funeral arrangements.
"Yes, Fourth Master!"
The guards were shocked. Tang Yu had been adopted as a son and was considered a young master, but they never expected him to die in a sneak attack.
They quickly took the body away, cleaned up the mess, and began to focus their investigation on the origins of the person who delivered the medicine.
Tang Ning coughed as the guards withdrew.
His father was seriously ill, and as the head of the main branch, he absolutely could not fall ill.
Even if Fang Ling's Purple Snow Pill breaks his poison technique, he still has to act as if nothing happened in front of everyone.
"Fourth Uncle!"
Tang Feiyan exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected to arrive too late, allowing the enemy to succeed.
She quickly took out a precious pill and said, "This is the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill that my grandfather gave me."
"Although it has some flaws, it is still a precious elixir."
"Fourth Uncle, take it quickly."
Even the Tang Clan cannot afford the genuine Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill.
However, Tang Kun once bought a slightly flawed precious pill at an auction, just in case.
"Need not!"
Tang Ning was afraid of this elixir.
He barely managed to stop the poison's effects from dissipating, and took out a elixir from his pocket and swallowed it.
It's safer to use your own medicine.
His complexion quickly improved.
"Scarlet Smoke, who are these people?"
Long Lou is a Grandmaster, Lin Fengxue is a half-step Grandmaster, and Bao'er is a special late-stage Innate Realm expert.
These three are incredibly strong.
If they join forces, they can completely kill Tang Ning.
But since he was her savior, Tang Ning wouldn't act recklessly and naturally treated him with courtesy.
Tang Feiyan couldn't help but show a look of hesitation.
Should I say something?
The last person to step out of the carriage was Zhao Jing.
He chuckled and said, "Mr. Tang, do you recognize me?"
Tang Ning's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down: "Greetings, Your Highness! Long live Your Highness! Long live Your Highness! Long live Your Highness!"
Tang Ning was filled with great fear.
Could it be that he requested to pledge allegiance to the Eldest Princess, and the Crown Prince discovered it?
Tang Ning knelt on the ground, motionless.
Zhao Jing guessed the reason.
Event 1: Tang Ning completely submits (Purple, 5%)
Event 2: Tang Ning temporarily allies with the Crown Prince (Blue, 50%)
Although he appeared trembling with fear, he dared not completely pledge allegiance to the Crown Prince.
This is different from Tang Feiyan.
Zhao Jing walked up to Tang Ning and helped him up with a warm smile: "Get up."
"I arrived too late."
"I am deeply saddened that I failed to intercept the enemy in advance, resulting in the loss of your adopted son."
Zhao Jing feigned a sorrowful expression, though it was entirely an act.
Tang Ning was filled with trepidation: "Your Highness, you mustn't do this!"
"A petty person cannot bear such a burden; how can a monarch rescue a petty person?"
Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "Only when the ruler and his minister are in harmony can a good story be told."
As the sage said: "If a ruler regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then the ministers will regard the ruler as their heart and soul."
"Are the Tang family willing to become my brothers?"
This is way too straightforward.
Tang Ning was immediately drenched in sweat.
He dared not agree, nor dared he refuse.
This is a more dangerous struggle than before.
Tang Ning immediately replied, "Your Highness, the Tang family has always been a friend of the Crown Prince's Palace."
This statement is ambiguous.
As the successor of the Tang family, Tang Ning naturally possesses considerable abilities.
If you can't say something, then you have to skirt the rules.
He neither agreed nor refused.
Zhao Jing knew perfectly well what was going on, and smiled slightly: "Very good, I did not misjudge you."
"Tell me, who attacked you, my beloved minister?"
Tang Ning gave a wry smile: "Your Highness, this is a master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, most likely the Faceless Man."
Zhao Jing casually asked, "The Faceless Man?"
Tang Ning quickly explained, "The Heavenly Demon Sect worships the Eternal Mother and dreams of reaching their home in the Vacuum."
"They believed that by dying as martyrs, they could reach the vacuum homeland, which was a paradise, a land of supreme bliss."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect emphasizes renunciation, abandoning all other worldly desires in pursuit of a pure and empty homeland."
"One branch is the one that abandons even itself and becomes the child of the Unborn Mother; this is the Faceless Man."
"This method of cultivation is too extreme. I never expected that the Heavenly Demon Sect would even send out the Faceless Man to deal with such a villain."
"What merit or ability do I possess?"
Tang Ning spoke with a hint of gritted teeth.
Normally, the Faceless Man should be infiltrating the army and the imperial court.
As a result, the Heavenly Demon Sect actually used it to assassinate him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jing understood.
The Heavenly Demon Sect's ability to survive the imperial court's encirclement and suppression is truly remarkable.
In the original game, he was also known for his skill in assassination and disguise.
The only difference is that the demonic cult masters who appeared in the game weren't called Faceless Men.
Zhao Jing nodded upon hearing this: "So, it seems the Heavenly Demon Sect intends to harm you, my dear minister?"
Tang Ning's expression changed, and she immediately shook her head: "That's not necessarily true."
"Now that the head of the family is seriously ill, someone is bound to try to take advantage of the situation."
"What's more, that thief even used the Myriad Spirit Purple Snow Pill."
"What?"
Tang Feiyan was also a member of the Tang Clan, and she immediately heard about the wickedness of the medicine.
"Fourth Uncle, what about your martial arts technique?"
Tang Ning gave a wry smile: "My poison technique has been broken, so I can't participate in the Douluo Tournament for the time being."
Even if he hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to help the main branch surpass others in poison techniques.
Therefore, members of the Tang Clan became suspects.
Tang Ning continued, "What's more, this medicine deliveryman is pretending to be Fei Yan's subordinate, posing as someone delivering medicine."
"If you're not familiar with Fei Yan, you can't use such a vicious scheme."
Tang Feiyan was immediately enraged: "You wicked scoundrel!"
"He actually used my name to murder my fourth uncle!"
"I will go investigate immediately and bring these thieves to justice."
The person delivering the medicine could impersonate Tang Feiyan's subordinate, which must mean they had pulled strings at many points.
Otherwise, they would never have entered Tangjiabao so easily.
Tang Ning sighed, "Feiyan, don't worry, I've already sent people to investigate."
"The enemy has probably already taken care of everything."
"What's more important now is—"
Tang Ning's eyes never left Zhao Jing, but Zhao Jing unexpectedly smiled and said, "It's not necessarily clean."
"Let me give it a try."
As Zhao Jing spoke, he approached the body of the person who had delivered the medicine, and Bao'er quickly stepped forward to protect him, saying, "Your Highness, please be careful."
"This thief had a Gu worm inside him. I removed one, but there might be other poisons inside."
"Good, let me check it first."
Lin Fengxue then released her wind and snow aura, using the cold air to examine the body of the medicine delivery person. Only after confirming that everything was correct did she maintain the aura state.
Only if there is any disturbance can Lin Fengxue protect the Dharma in time.
Zhao Jing did not stop him.
With Longlou in charge, Lin Fengxue as a guard, and Bao'er providing close protection, Tang Ning could finally believe that the Eastern Palace's strength remained undiminished.
What he wanted was loyalty, absolute loyalty from the Tang family.
Downing is the perfect piece.
Regardless of whether Tang Kun's feigned illness was an attempt to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop or to avoid political turmoil.
Zhao Jing wanted to tell him that siding with the Crown Prince was the right choice.
Therefore, he needs to demonstrate some strength.
Rise, Medicine Deliveryman!
A blood crow appeared in Zhao Jing's hand, and just as he had controlled Zhou Xiong, it merged into the enemy's remains.
His heart was injured, and Bao'er dug out the Crimson Blood Gu from his dantian, but his brain was still intact.
This gave Zhao Jing an opportunity.
hum!
To Tang Ning's horror, the medicine deliveryman actually stood up.
Lin Fengxue kindly put away his spear.
Zhao Jing conjured a Buddhist pagoda.
Dao artifacts!
A golden aura of Buddha surrounded Zhao Jing, making him appear so majestic and invincible.
Tang Ning almost knelt down to sincerely repent.
No.
The Crown Prince's power has waned; the Empress is the future.
Zhao Jing, however, had no time to pay attention to Tang Ning's changing mood, as he was searching for information about the medicine delivery person.
A beautiful woman in purple sat in the living room and ordered the medicine deliveryman, "Jingjue, you have cultivated the Crimson Blood Technique to the Formless Realm, which can deceive the whims of a half-step Grandmaster."
"Your mission this time is to kill Tang Ning."
The medicine deliveryman, whose Buddhist name was Jingjue, bowed his head and said, "Yes, Elder Youji."
"I just don't understand why we should help them with this."
The beautiful woman in purple, or rather Elder Youji, smiled faintly: "It's a rule of the sect, don't ask why."
Jingjue immediately kowtowed: "I was rude, please punish me, Elder!"
Youji shook her head and said, "You are about to embark on a mission that will surely lead to your death, so I may tell you."
Even enemies can have room for cooperation.
"They offered enough incentives, so we accepted the deal."
"The destruction and chaos of the Tang Clan will all have an impact on the Dingchuan Army."
"They want to use us to control the Tang Clan, while we will use this opportunity to launch a rebellion and establish our own Vacuum Homeland."
0
"Your death will not be in vain, your true spirit will go to the altar."
"Her Highness has rebuilt the altar, which can now accommodate the true spirit."
Jingjue's face lit up with fervor: "I understand!"
"To die a martyr's death is to die without regret!"
Just as Zhao Jing was about to further search Jingjue's true spirit to see who they were and absorb all of their martial arts essence.
Then, a sudden change occurred.
"How dare you!"
"Who are you, daring to steal the true spirit of the disciple under the Mother's command!"
Suddenly, a magnificent bronze gate appeared before Zhao Jing's eyes.
There are eight characters engraved on this gate.
The Eternal Mother, the Vast Homeland!
Boom!
The gate suddenly opened, and the powerful suction almost sucked Jingjue and Zhao Jing's true spirit away together.
It was as if there was a vacuum node deep within the gate there.
From this vacuum node, a faint, ethereal voice emanated: "Those who disobey the Mother of Humanity will surely suffer divine punishment."
"The Unborn Mother, the Vast Homeland!"
Zhao Jing's soul seemed to be being drawn away.
The other party is relying on believers to lock onto him, as if they want to take away Jingjue's true spirit and punish Zhao Jing.
This was the first time Zhao Jing had ever seen such a powerful sorcerer.
Like a saint.
The opponent was able to take away the true spirit simply by casting a spell from a distance.
However, Zhao Jing was not flustered; he knew the origin of this gate.
The Gate of Vacuum.
The magical artifacts of the Heavenly Demon Sect are said to be able to connect with the Eternal Mother.
They received rewards such as mystical power by offering sacrificial items.
The headquarters of the Unborn Mother's cult has discovered that someone is stealing the true spirit. It has chosen to open the vacuum gate, absorb the true spirit, and incidentally use the thief as a sacrifice.
What should I do?
Zhao Jing immediately activated the Heavenly Fate Bone to find a solution to the problem.
Event 1: Awaken Chao Xi and stabilize her soul (Purple, 50%)
Event 2: Praying to the Blood God to fight against the Eternal Mother (Blue, 2%)
Event 3: Praying to Maitreya Buddha to fight against the Eternal Mother (White, 80%)
Wow, such a high probability.
Does Maitreya Buddha have a grudge against the Eternal Mother?
By the way, according to the teachings of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Maitreya Buddha is the son of the Eternal Mother.
It would be strange if Longhua Temple could tolerate this.
Which Maitreya Buddha would deal with her?
and many more.
Maitreya Buddha has a grudge against the Eternal Mother.
Do I have a grudge against her?
Actually not.
The Heavenly Demon Sect wants to plunge Sichuan and Chongqing into chaos.
I also want to create chaos in Sichuan and Chongqing.
The enemy of the Heavenly Demon Sect is the imperial court.
My current enemy is also the imperial court.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Zhao Jing suddenly had a bold idea.
Event 4: Based on my faith in Maitreya Buddha, I converted to the faith of the Eternal Mother, broke free from the gate of true enlightenment, and gained benefits (white, (%66)).
Okay, you're the one!
One point of dragon energy, spent!
Zhao Jing didn't feel apologetic towards Maitreya Buddha at all.
His holy seal encompasses all gods without discrimination, showing utter lack of integrity.
They are perfectly aligned to counter each other.
At this moment, the gate of true skill is about to suck away the true spirit of pure awareness.
Suddenly, Zhao Jing shouted in his mind, "Eternal Mother, True Emptiness Homeland!"
"I was once a disciple of Maitreya Buddha, and now I am willing to submit to my mother."
"The old mother will have the opportunity to obtain the Buddha statue."
"Please, Mother, acknowledge your child!"
"Your son is willing to offer up the Buddha statue as a protective artifact for the Heavenly Demon Sect."
The Buddha statue shone brightly, as if it were being offered as a sacrifice to lure people in.
Ah? ?
The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the holder of the True Craftsmanship Gate, was stunned on the spot.
The gate no longer absorbs Zhao Jing's true spirit.
The next second, the Eternal Mother descended with a divine decree.
Zhao Jing has also become a believer.
No, he should be called the Holy Son.
