With a grateful tone, she said, “Thank you for your help in this crisis. I can’t thank you enough!”
“Ha!” Shu Zhihua laughed loudly and said, “You have already paid the spirit stones, and I’m not a person who doesn’t keep his word. It’s my duty to take the Spirit Stones you gave me and protect you.”
The Golden Core puppet, who was called Li Feiyu, said in a low and hoarse voice, “It’s nothing.”
Chen Qianxue smiled, “Between the two of us, is there a need to say such words of gratitude?”
Her words sounded ambiguous. Fortunately, she and Fu Shuangni were both women.
If she was a man, or Fu Shuangni was a man… Then the ambiguity of this sentence was even greater.
“That guy, I’ll give him to you.” Shu Zhihua yawned. Her entire body reeked of alcohol, and she shook the wine gourd in her hand. She said, “His cultivation has been sealed by my spell. Within a month, he can’t use any spiritual power, and he can’t breathe in and out the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.”
“Within a month, you should be able to pry out such useful information from this guy’s mouth. As for what information you can pry out, that’s not something I can control.”
“If you still can’t get any useful information within a month, I suggest killing him with one sword in case he takes the opportunity to escape.”
After hearing these words, Fu Shuangni nodded, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Shu!”
Shu Zhihua left.
Bai Yi’s Golden Core puppet glanced at the dented county office and calmly said, “Let’s find a new place!”
He also temporarily left.
As for the Golden Core puppet that Chen Qianxue summoned earlier, because it had already been five minutes, her Golden Core puppet had already disappeared.
Apart from Chen Qianxue and Fu Shuangni, there was only the Golden Core cultivator whose cultivation was sealed and tied up… As well as the puppet that no longer moved.
Fu Shuangni took a deep breath and glanced at the Golden Core Immortal cultivator. She asked calmly, “You… What’s your name?”
“Huo Dongsheng.” This Golden Core Immortal cultivator obviously had some lingering fear in his heart.
Although Shu Zhihua and Li Feiyu had left this place one after another, he was still afraid.
In addition… At present, his cultivation had already been sealed, so he was unable to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, and he was even more unable to absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.
Under such circumstances, even a Qi Refinement stage Immortal cultivator could kill him with one sword strike.
Not to mention that these two girls were both Foundation Establishment stage Immortal cultivators.
One of them was the Little Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The other was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sword Sect.
He did not think that this kind of person would be soft-hearted.
Therefore, he decided to confess!
He knew that once he exposed the person behind him, he would definitely be pursued endlessly. However, he also knew that if he did not say anything, he would definitely die in a month.
The former would die a little later. The latter would die a little earlier.
Hmm…
He would also make a choice.
“Huo?” After Fu Shuangni heard this surname, her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but narrow as she continued to ask, “Moxi Huo Family?”
The Golden Core Immortal cultivator named Huo Dongsheng sighed and nodded slightly.
He admitted it.
“Moxi Huo Family?” Chen Qianxue felt that this sounded familiar.
Fu Shuangni explained, “In the Great Yan Dynasty, there are many powerful Immortal cultivation families… some of them even existed in the previous Dynasty. Their foundation is even deeper than the imperial family of the Great Yan Dynasty.”
“In some policies and orders, these Immortal cultivation families don’t listen to the Imperial Court at all. The Imperial Court can’t do anything to them because once these families cause trouble, the consequences are unimaginable.”
“Although I don’t want to admit it, that’s the truth. The Great Yan Dynasty is different from the Great Wei Dynasty. The Great Yan Dynasty is too deeply controlled by the aristocratic families.”
Fu Shuangni paused and continued, “Among the many aristocratic families in the Great Yan Dynasty, the Huo family in the western part of the Dynasty is one of the top Immortal cultivation families. It’s said that it has been passed down for more than 4,000 years.”
“I’ve also heard that the Huo family’s ancestor still exists in this world. An old monster that has lived for more than 4,000 years, who knows how terrifying he is.”
Chen Qianxue nodded. She knew that there were many families in the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, she did not have a special understanding of those families. The sects and families did not interfere with each other.
However, after listening to Fu Shuangni’s explanation, she understood how powerful the aristocratic families were.
I’m afraid… That Huo Family, which had been passed down for more than 4,000 years, was even more powerful than the Spirit Sword Sect!
As for how powerful it was, it was hard to say.
At this moment, Fu Shuangni looked at Huo Dongsheng again. She said, “Why did the Huo Family attack me? Is this white-haired person lying on the ground also a member of your Huo Family? Did the Huo family send you, or did other forces send you? Do you have any other methods to deal with me? If you find out that the attack on me has failed, what will the people behind you do?”
She asked one question after another, and every one of these questions was very important.
Huo Dongsheng, on the other hand, had already gritted his teeth and was ready to go all out.
He answered Fu Shuangni’s questions without missing a single word.
Of course, there were some questions that he did not know how to answer. He did not know the answers to those questions.
After hearing this guy’s honest answer, Fu Shuangni frowned. “The current head of the Huo Family sent you here? But you don’t know what the purpose is? You also don’t know that the Huo Family doesn’t have any other tricks up their sleeves?”
Huo Dongsheng’s face was bitter. He was a Golden Core cultivator, yet he was questioned by a Foundation Establishment Immortal cultivator like this. He had lost all face.
His state of mind was also greatly affected.
He even felt that even if he could survive, he probably would not be able to break through in the future.
The change in his state of mind was a big problem.
And facing Fu Shuangni’s untrusting questioning, he could only bitterly smile as he replied, “Your Highness, although I am quite famous in the Huo Family, and even with my first level Golden Core cultivation, I have a great chance to squeeze into the core level of the family in the future.”
“However, there are some things that I really don’t know! The family head only gave me this mission. If Huo Longheng didn’t die, he might know some things.”
Huo Longheng was the white-haired old man who had died. He was also a member of the Huo Family.
Furthermore, his strength was not ordinary and he was one of the core members of the Huo Family.
“Let me ask you another question. is the Fu King of the Moxi Land related to this matter?”
Fu Shuangni suddenly asked.
Fu King?
Huo Dongsheng did not react at first, but he quickly remembered that there was indeed such a person in the Moxi Land of the Great Yan Dynasty.
This was because the other party was very low-key, so he did not immediately remember.
He remembered that this was a prince who had been conferred the title of King. He was the second son of the current emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
He was the second brother of the current crown prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.
He was the Imperial Uncle of the Little Princess in front of him…
King Fu even married a direct descendant of the Huo Family. Speaking of which, King Fu had a deep relationship with the Huo Family. Fu King’s mother was also a member of the Huo Family.
Oh?
Huo Dongsheng’s eyes widened!
With that said…
Hiss!
“Looks like he doesn’t know.”Chen Qianxue saw the expression on Huo Dongsheng’s face. She said in a calm voice, “However, I think you can trust your instincts.”
Fu Shuangni said in a deep voice, “If it really has something to do with that Imperial Uncle of mine, then this matter… might involve my father.”
At this point, Fu Shuangni seemed to remember something and looked at Chen Qianxue suspiciously.
Just as Chen Qianxue was feeling confused, Fu Shuangni smiled. “Don’t you feel that this situation seems familiar?”
When Chen Qianxue heard this, she rolled her eyes.
She rarely made such an expression.
However, at this moment, she did not expect Fu Shuangni to still be in the mood to joke.
This Little Princess of Great Yan, she was quite optimistic.
“If it’s mainly against your father, then King Fu’s goal is very clear.” Chen Qianxue said, “For some unknown reason, he wants to become the heir to the throne!”
“Furthermore, he seems to be impatient, as if something is urging him.”
“Otherwise, he would not use such a risky move.”
