Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Search Xuanjing Temple?

The Queen Mother's mind suddenly flashed with the image of the girl whose abdomen was cut open and her heart was taken out. She wondered whether Taoist Xuan Yi had dealt with the body properly. If her unfilial grandson Chu Yuncang found the body, her secret would be completely exposed!

The Queen Mother frowned, looking extremely anxious, and signaled to Taoist Xuanyi to refuse immediately.

Taoist Xuanyi's face was stern. He leaned forward slightly and said with a bow, "Your Highness, my Xuanjing Temple is a famous and righteous sect. The disciples in the temple recite scriptures and pray for blessings every day, and meditate to gain enlightenment. There is absolutely no such thing as explosives. Your Highness must have heard it wrong."

Chu Yuncang raised the corners of his lips slightly and said in a deep voice: "Did you hear it wrong? The truth will be revealed after the search."

The Queen Mother's expression was as gloomy as water. She suppressed her anger and said softly, "Cang'er, the Imperial Grandmother comes here every year to practice in seclusion. She knows this place like the back of her hand. I can guarantee that there's no gunpowder here. Cang'er, there's no need to waste your time here. Go and do your job!"

Chu Yuncang's eyes were slightly stern, and he asked doubtfully, "Oh? How can Your Majesty guarantee this? Do you know how powerful that gunpowder is? If a villain uses it to attack the people of Shengjing, what will happen to the unarmed people?"

His eyes were firm and he said solemnly, "As the crown prince of Dongling, I must get to the bottom of this matter to ensure the safety of the people!"

The Queen Mother was speechless under the questioning. Her face was ashen and her eyebrows were raised with anger. She shouted angrily, "Prince, you dare to speak to me like this? This is extremely unfilial! With such behavior, how can you be worthy of being the crown prince of Dongling? When I return to the palace, I will inform your father of what happened today!"

Chu Yuncang's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a deep voice, "Grandmother, please do as you please! You may not be aware that a spy from Nanjing has recently appeared in Shengjing City, and the Dali Temple is investigating the case. This is a matter of vital importance to the stability of Dongling. Even if my father were here, he would have to search the Xuanjing Temple."

"Your Majesty is so protective of Xuanjing Temple. If something were to be found, I'm afraid the world would think you were an accomplice of the rebels! Therefore, it would be best for you to return to the palace as soon as possible!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes. She looked behind Master Xuanyi and thought to herself that with so many Taoists with great martial arts skills, it would be no problem for them to deal with the Crown Prince and his guards!

She glared at Chu Yuncang coldly: "I will make you regret what happened today!"

The Queen Mother walked down the mountain angrily, but when she passed by Master Xuanyi, she secretly gave him a look, and Master Xuanyi nodded slightly.

The palace maids and eunuchs followed the empress dowager in a hurry.

The Third Prince glanced at Chu Yuncang and lamented, "Royal brother, why did you bother to anger the Royal Grandmother? If the Emperor finds out, he will definitely punish you!"

Although he said this, he was actually very happy in his heart. He thought to himself that if he made a fuss, it would be best if he would incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people and be directly deposed from the position of crown prince.

The third prince chased after the empress dowager, and Xie Qingyao followed closely.

Taoist Xuanyi cast a cold gaze at Chu Yuncang and the others, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. He gently raised the whisk in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Kill! Whoever kills the prince will be rewarded handsomely, and I will personally teach him the Dao!"

The master's Dao is so profound that it cannot be dealt with by ordinary force! The Taoists immediately rubbed their hands in anticipation, and took out their weapons and attacked Chu Yuncang fiercely. Liuguang and others immediately flew in front of Chu Yuncang to protect him.

Since leaving the dense forest, Xie Qingli saw that the many Taoists of Xuanjing Temple were aggressive and had ill intentions, so she took Leng Shuangfei and climbed onto a big tree nearby. They were not at an advantage in numbers, and if a fight broke out, she could easily launch a sneak attack from her high position.

Seeing those Taoists rushing towards Chu Yuncang, Xie Qingli curled her lips and smiled. She felt that she had come to the right place today. She must avenge her death in her previous life!

She moved as fast as lightning, and within a few breaths, she shot out more than a dozen poisonous needles.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

The Taoists running in front only felt a slight pain in their bodies and were a little confused, but before they could take the next step, they fell to the ground and died.

The two sides, ready for a fierce battle, simultaneously stopped moving and looked at each other in confusion. The guards wondered if those Taoists were paper figures controlled by the evil Taoist? Why did they collapse before the battle even started?

The Taoists wondered if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, like the temple master and the Imperial Preceptor, could use magic. They immediately backed off.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

Taking advantage of the hesitation of the two groups, Xie Qingli raised her hand lightly, and a string of silver needles flew out. Another group of Taoists fell down. The remaining Taoists were frightened and immediately retreated several feet away, looking at Chu Yuncang with horror.

Xie Qingli couldn't help but sigh. Those fools had accidentally retreated from her shooting range. She still had a lot of silver needles to shoot!

Taoist Xuanyi stood behind the crowd, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring intently at the actions of Chu Yuncang and others, especially the young man in white robe who made him afraid.

The young man neither chanted any spell nor drew any talisman. He did not believe that anyone in the world could cast spells out of thin air, so the disciples' fall was definitely not caused by magic, but by human intervention.

Taoist Xuanyi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. After a quick glance, they landed on the tree opposite. He shouted, "How dare you! Who is this demon playing tricks here? Show yourself!"

Xie Qingli looked at Taoist Xuanyi with great interest, thinking that this demon Taoist had a good eye and seemed to have great skills, so he would be difficult to deal with.

She let out a series of crisp laughter and flew down from the tree. At the same time, with the help of the breeze, she waved her hand and a cloud of gray powder floated towards the Taoists.

Taoist Xuanyi had never thought that the person hiding in the tree was actually a woman. His pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at Xie Qingli in surprise. After seeing Xie Qingli's movements clearly, he hurriedly shouted, "Hold your breath!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Taoists looked at the woman opposite them who looked like the Queen Mother of the West in surprise. By the time they heard the order from Taoist Master Xuanyi, they had already inhaled the powder. They felt pain in their internal organs as if they were burned by fire. Especially the Taoists in front, they were already rolling on the ground. In just a few breaths, they were dying, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Taoist Xuanyi's eyes were bloodshot and he cursed angrily: "You witch, today I will make your soul fly to pieces!" Then he closed his eyes and recited a spell quickly.

Xie Qingli frowned slightly, wondering what Taoist Xuanyi was up to.

Chu Yuncang pulled Xie Qingli behind him. What he saw and heard in Xuanjing Temple today was beyond his understanding. The master of Xuanjing Temple must know some magic, so he had to be on guard against it.

Taoist Xuanyi's talismans flew in his hands, chanting faster and faster, making people feel annoyed, but also unable to help listening. With his last loud shout, the talismans flew towards Xie Qingli in an overwhelming manner.

Xie Qingli's face turned pale. She recalled the heart-wrenching pain when her fate was taken away on the altar in her previous life, and a trace of fear rose in her heart.

Chu Yuncang was also horrified. He remembered the extreme pain he felt in the strange dream when those Taoist priests used talismans to beat him to death.

He didn't want to see Xie Qingli suffer such pain, so he jumped up and took the initiative to meet those talismans...
