Chapter 479 After pretending to be well for so many years, has she finally stopped?
Upon hearing the last sentence, the expressions of the elders and disciples all changed.
With the God of Light by his side, who in the divine kingdom doesn't know that the God of Light's soul has been scattered?
The elders and disciples suppressed their fear and respectfully said, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness."
"Step back," Bai Qingjue said indifferently. "If other god lords come, you don't need to pay them any attention."
"Yes," the elders and disciples replied, and then left the hall.
Not long after the disciples withdrew, a surge of power appeared in the main hall. Bai Qingjue raised his eyes and looked indifferently into the hall.
A person appeared amidst the fluctuations of power. Bai Qingjue looked at the newcomer and said, "Lord Qingyu, weren't you here to interrogate me? Why are you the only one here?"
"Interrogation is their business. I'm only here to ask you how you killed Mingguang?" Qingyu stepped forward, appearing in front of Bai Qingjue, looking down at Bai Qingjue sitting in the chair: "Mingguang's soul is protected by the power left by his father. That is the power of a true god. Even if you are a pure-blooded god, you cannot do anything about that power. Bai Qingjue, you have helpers." Qingyu spoke the last sentence with certainty.
However, Bai Qingjue did not respond at all, but only said, "Then why don't you tell me, Lord Qingyu, who is my helper?"
"If I, as a pure-blooded god, cannot do anything to Mingguang, then who can?"
“If such a person exists, I will definitely tell you so that you can use every means to capture him and let him guard the Land of Divine Disappearance in my place. Then I will be free.”
"Bai Qingjue!" Qingyu looked at Bai Qingjue with an unfriendly expression: "They will tolerate you for the sake of the Land of Divine Disappearance, but I will not. So you had better tell me, who killed Mingguang?"
"You can't tolerate me?" Bai Qingjue chuckled, her icy blue eyes filled with mockery. "Who do you think you are?"
Looking at Bai Qingjue's appearance, Qingyu sneered, "After pretending to be well-behaved for so many years, you've finally stopped?"
"Am I pretending to be obedient, or are you all just too arrogant?" Bai Qingjue said casually, "What makes you think that you, as descendants of gods, can tame gods?"
"So what if you're a god?" Qingyu looked at Bai Qingjue: "Your brother, your friends, weren't they still plotted against and killed by them?"
"Little brother, a friend?"
Bai Qingjue sneered: "Why would you think I care about a demon and a group of divine descendants?"
“If I cared about them, I wouldn’t have watched them be schemed against by you.” Bai Qingjue said casually, “My master’s last wish was for Rong Shu to live, so I drove him away. Otherwise, I would have killed him with my own hands. As for that group of divine descendants, a group of people you used to monitor me, it’s good that they are dead.”
As Bai Qingjue spoke, Qingyu kept looking at him, trying to see if he was being insincere, but there was none at all.
Thinking back to how Bai Qingjue had remained cold and indifferent when she learned they were going to perform a ritual, Qingyu felt a sense of doubt for the first time. Could it be that they were really wrong?
Is Bai Qingjue not pretending, but genuinely indifferent?
Seeing Qingyu remain silent, Bai Qingjue continued, "I remember that the suggestion to sacrifice them was made by Lord Yesha. If I cared about them, I would have killed Yesha first, not Mingguang."
"Are you saying that you killed Mingguang because he tried to take over your body, and that you were avenging yourself?"
Bai Qingjue said, "What you said isn't wrong."
Qingyu observed Bai Qingjue's expression: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don't believe it, because if you want to kill Mingguang, you can find an opportunity in the Divine Kingdom, instead of going to Mingguang Prefecture."
"Looking for opportunities in the Divine Kingdom?" Bai Qingjue looked at Qingyu: "Are you sure there are opportunities in the Divine Kingdom?"
"What do you mean no?" Qingyu retorted coldly, "You were able to trap Mingguang in Mingguang Prefecture, unable to escape, and you can do the same in the Divine Kingdom, can't you?"
"So, the God doesn't believe?"
“I never believed it from the beginning,” Qingyu said. “Since you’re unwilling to say who helped you, I’ll investigate myself.”
"You've chosen Mingguang Prefecture as the location, so I'll go there to investigate." Qingyu looked at Bai Qingjue: "I want to see who helped you."
After hearing what Qingyu said, Bai Qingjue's face showed a mocking smile: "Then you're pretty stupid."
Hearing this, Qingyu's expression grew even colder, but Bai Qingjue seemed not to notice and continued, "According to what you said, you think someone helped me so that I could make Mingguang's soul disappear. Then why don't you go find that person yourself? Aren't you just going to your death?"
"Or do you think you're better than Mingguang, that you can kill the person who helped me instead of dying at her hands?"
Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had realized something.
Bai Qingjue continued, "Even Mingguang, protected by the power of a true god, ended up with his soul scattered. What chance do you have?"
After listening, Qingyu didn't speak immediately.
Bai Qingjue was right, but... Qingyu still didn't believe that Bai Qingjue could deal with the power of the true god on Mingguang's soul. If he could even deal with the power of the true god, why would he be restricted by them?
But as Bai Qingjue said, if there really is someone who can help him resolve Mingguang's true god power, it would indeed be inappropriate for her to rush there...
Thinking of this, Qingyu looked at Bai Qingjue and said, "I will tell the other gods what I have guessed and what you have said. You should take care of yourself." After saying this, Qingyu disappeared from the temple as he had come.
After the silt was cleared away, Bai Qingjue's expression returned to normal. She appeared calm on the surface, but she couldn't calm down inside. It wasn't because of the upcoming interrogation, but because she was worried about Ling Yi and the others.
With Ling Yi around, A Jiu will be fine, but after this incident, the Divine Kingdom will definitely send more people to various states, increasing their risk of exposure.
...
Mingguang Prefecture.
Ling Yi stayed in the Star Devouring Forest for three days, during which time he killed many disciples of the Hundred Rivers Sect. Too many disciples went and never returned. The Hundred Rivers Sect finally realized that Ling Yi was not someone they could deal with, and stopped sending disciples to the Star Devouring Forest.
After finding no one else to kill, Ling Yi left the Devouring Star Forest and went to where Ye Qingshuang and the others were.
When Ling Yi arrived at the location, he saw that Bai Jiu and Lin Chengtian had both woken up. After asking about their condition and confirming that they were alright, he waved to the little golden tiger standing to the side.
When the little golden tiger saw Ling Yi beckoning to it, it immediately flew over, landed on Ling Yi's shoulder, and rubbed its face against Ling Yi's: "Master, are we going somewhere else?"
"Okay." Ling Yi said, "Let's leave the Tianxiao Empire first."
"Okay." The little golden tiger responded, then landed and grew larger. After everyone else had boarded, it flapped its wings and flew away from where it stood.
...
Four days later, at the border of the Yunshui Empire.
The little golden tiger stopped at the border. Ling stood up and looked at the other three: "I have some things to take care of. You wait here for me. Once I'm done, we'll go to the next place."
"Okay," Ye Qingshuang and the others replied.
Seeing this, Ling Yi didn't say anything more, jumped off the little golden tiger's back, and quickly disappeared from their sight.
