"This is the tea your majesty often drinks in the palace."
Pei Xuanji's mouth curled up slightly. This guy is quite thoughtful.
"If you put all this thought into cultivation, you would have entered the Nascent Soul stage long ago."
"..."
"Don't stare at him anymore. Even if he comes, you probably won't be able to see him with your eyesight."
"That may not be the case... Here it comes!"
As soon as Li Yunshu finished speaking, a figure flashed by on the second floor of Yuelai Teahouse.
At this time, the empress had already teleported to his side.
Because the window was only open a crack, the two people's bodies were very close.
After seeing the man's back clearly, she stood at the window for a long time without saying a word.
Li Yunshu also tactfully stepped aside, observing the empress's reaction from the corner of his eye.
It seems that the empress does not know who the leader of the Demonic Cult is.
However, that person was the closest person to the empress - Shangguan Shuangyue.
His most trusted subordinate turned out to be the leader of the Demonic Cult, and was stirring up trouble in Da Chu.
The empress's trust was undoubtedly trampled upon by Shangguan Shuangyue.
hum!
Pei Xuanji's figure flashed by, Li Yunshu's eyelids jumped, and he immediately chased after her.
Yue Lai Tea House, second floor.
Shangguan Shuangyue looked at Gao Gong who was sitting in the room, and always felt that something was wrong.
"What is it that requires you to see me in person?"
Gao Gong immediately stood up, his tone full of respect.
"It's not that I want to see you, but someone wants to see you."
"Anyone wants to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Shuangyue immediately realized that something was wrong. She flashed and teleported out of the window.
However, as soon as she walked out of the second-floor window, the space around her suddenly became solid, and a jade hand pressed on her chest.
Chapter 98 Nine Lives in One
boom!
The window was knocked open and Shangguan Shuangyue fell back into the room again.
At this time, Li Yunshu flew over the roof, followed the empress, and jumped into the room in one step.
Gao Gong was a little surprised by the appearance of the empress, but the moment he saw Li Yunshu, he stood aside obediently as if he had seen his master.
"His Majesty!"
Shangguan Shuangyue was much more shocked than Gao Gong at the sudden appearance of the empress and Li Yunshu.
She suddenly turned around and looked at Gao Gong, her eyes full of murderous intent.
In the Holy Church, only those who knew her identity were her confidants.
Unexpectedly, Gao Gong, the person she trusted the most, betrayed her.
"High attack!"
In response to Shangguan Shuangyue's questioning, Gao Gong kept his head down and said nothing.
Li Yunshu did not jump out to claim the credit as his own, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, he still didn't know how the empress would deal with the leader of the Demonic Cult.
He simply closed the window behind him and watched what happened.
In this regard, he couldn't help but sigh that it was really a dark place under the lamp.
Who would have thought that the capable general beside the empress was actually a member of the Demon Sect? In addition, his cultivation was not first-rate, which would not arouse suspicion from others.
As the commander of the Zhenyi Division, all the spies in the entire Chu are under his command.
This also made it easier for him to act in Da Chu without being noticed.
I still remember that the empress said that she sent people to investigate the identity of the leader of the Demonic Cult, but found nothing.
Asking the leader of the Demon Cult to investigate the leader of the Demon Cult would, of course, yield nothing.
Pei Xuanji walked slowly to the table and sat down.
"I should have thought of it long ago. As the summoner, you are most likely the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult."
thump.
Shangguan Shuangyue knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, I have never done anything to harm your Majesty or the Great Chu."
Pei Xuanji looked at Shangguan Shuangyue coldly, without any emotion in her eyes.
"You should know that I hate being deceived the most."
"I have no intention of deceiving Your Majesty, but..." Shangguan Shuangyue slowly stood up halfway through his words, "Who would have thought that Your Majesty would not be able to help me ascend."
Li Yunshu narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Shangguan Shuangyue's actions, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Shangguan Shuangyue should be very clear about the empress's methods.
Now that he dares to stand up, it means he must have something to rely on.
Pei Xuanji's eyelids drooped slightly, actually this was an accident.
Before she was summoned to this world, she was ambushed and sealed.
If Shangguan Shuangyue hadn't activated the demon summoning array, she might have died in the demon world.
After she came to this world, the demon summoning array was shattered and the pursuers were blocked in the demon world.
It was because of these coincidences that she survived.
Strictly speaking, she owed Shangguan Shuangyue a life.
As a summoned demon, she should agree to one condition of the summoner.
However, faced with the conditions for ascension proposed by Shangguan Shuangyue, she was powerless.
On the one hand, I feel grateful for saving my life, but on the other hand, I feel guilty.
Therefore, after establishing the Great Chu, she entrusted Shangguan Shuangyue with important tasks.
Facing Shangguan Shuangyue who stood up, Pei Xuanji asked.
"During this period, what happened in Tianquan Sect and Jian Sect was all planned by you?"
Although Shangguan Shuangyue concealed his identity, what happened in Tianquan Sect and Jian Sect could not be concealed.
"Yes."
"Since you are already in your ninth reincarnation and are only one step away from ascending to heaven, why do you still care about this worldly struggle for power?"
"Hey." Shangguan Shuangyue smiled miserably, her shoulders slumped down, "What? You can ascend to heaven after nine reincarnations? That's all a lie."
After a slight pause, she stared at the empress with fiery eyes.
"Since I cannot ascend, I just want to help Your Majesty unify the world."
Pei Xuanji was obviously a little surprised by this answer.
She didn't expect that the Demonic Cult's method of reincarnation and ascension wouldn't work.
If this is the case, then she may really have the only way to use the Demon Summoning Array to return to the Demon Realm.
"Help me?" Pei Xuanji shook his head secretly, "You should understand that I have no interest in this world at all."
The reason why she took the position of Queen of Great Chu was just to make it easier for herself to find a way to ascend.
As for unifying the world, she has no interest in it at all.
In this world, what good would it do even if you could unify the world?
Pei Xuanji sighed, not knowing how to deal with the person in front of him.
She could no longer trust this confidant who had concealed things from her and was secretly stirring up trouble for Da Chu.
However, all the spies of the Zhenyi Division are led by Shangguan Shuangyue. The other party knows so much, and once they take action, she will be very passive.
If the spy network spread in every corner is destroyed, she will become blind and deaf.
If she killed Shangguan Shuangyue... she would not be able to find a suitable replacement in a short period of time.
Just when she was hesitating in her heart, Shangguan Shuangyue spoke.
"Your Majesty, can we never go back to the way things were before?"
"What do you think?"
Pei Xuanji sighed. Once the trust was broken, it could never be repaired.
The leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, help her unify the world, hehe——
She was well aware of Shangguan Shuangyue's ambitions, and the reason she took him in as her confidant was because she believed she could suppress him.
However, what happened in Tianquan Sect and Jian Sect made her realize the danger of the leader of the Tianmo Sect who was hiding in the dark.
In the future, should we also build a blood sea soul-transferring formation in the Great Chu Palace, and then take over her body as well?
"Go and become the leader of your Heavenly Demon Sect. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
Hearing this, Shangguan Shuangyue's gaze fell on Li Yunshu.
Li Yunshu felt his back tighten, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
boom!
