Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Taoist Lingxuan immediately ordered the door to be closed to visitors when he returned to the National Master's Mansion, as if he was reflecting on his mistakes. In fact, he secretly sent several groups of people to inquire about the news of Xuanjing Temple.

When the moon was above the willows, Taoist Lingxuan finally got the exact news: the prince and the Dali Temple had sealed off the Xuanjing Temple, arrested Xuanyi and all his disciples, and now they were all imprisoned in the Dali Temple's Sky Prison.

"These idiots actually destroyed my years of hard work!" Taoist Lingxuan had a ferocious look on his face and gritted his teeth. He held a teacup tightly in his hand and suddenly exerted force, and the teacup turned into powder.

The little Taoist boy with delicate eyebrows and eyes was filled with worry and asked anxiously, "Master, what should we do now?"

Taoist Lingxuan's eyes were sinister, and he said in a cold voice: "Xuanyi knows too much..." His eyes were cold, his face was frosty, and he said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"

Taoist Lingxuan brought the little Taoist boy into the bedroom. The bedroom was simple and luxurious in layout, full of mysteries.

He came to the small altar on the side of the room and slowly picked up the incense burner on the altar. The floor under the altar slowly moved away, revealing a dark entrance.

The little Taoist boy took the lead and stepped onto the steps of the secret passage with a lantern in his hand. The two of them walked quickly, one in front and one behind, towards the depths of the secret passage.

After walking for about half an incense stick, a wooden door appeared before them. Taoist Lingxuan pressed a mechanism on the wall, and the door slowly opened. After the two of them passed through, the door automatically closed.

After passing through several wooden doors equipped with mechanisms, the two came to a dim room. The walls of the room were hung with various talismans and magical instruments. In the middle of the room stood a huge bluestone altar engraved with intricate runes.

Taoist Lingxuan walked to the cabinet against the wall and opened the door. Inside was layer upon layer of soul bottles with talismans and names on them.

Those soul bottles contain a tiny trace of the souls of the people who work for Taoist Lingxuan. With these soul bottles, no matter where the other party escapes to, Taoist Lingxuan can use magic to track them down or decide their life and death.

The little Taoist boy lowered his head, glancing at the soul bottles from the corner of his eye. Was there one of his own in these bottles? After all, those people had their souls taken away by their master without their knowledge.

Taoist Lingxuan did not notice the little Taoist boy's little movements, but directly took out Xuanyi's soul bottle and quickly locked the cabinet.

He placed the soul bottle on the altar, picked up the mahogany sword, and whispered an obscure spell. As the spell rang out, the air in the secret room slowly began to distort, as if controlled by an invisible force...

Directly above the secret room, a few feet away, was the first-floor lobby of a teahouse. The teahouse had just closed, and several waiters were swiftly wiping the tables and chairs and tidying up the tea sets.

One of the young men walked quickly towards the door. Suddenly, his heart trembled, and there seemed to be a strange feeling in the air. He stopped and looked back, but saw that the others were still busy, as if they didn't notice anything. He couldn't help but shook his head and quickly closed the door.

Above the gate, a plaque hangs high with four big characters "Qingfeng Teahouse" written on it.

……

In the Dali Temple's torture chamber, a few streets away from the Qingfeng Teahouse, the interrogation was still going on.

Taoist Xuanyi looked at Chu Yuncang and others, his face full of pride.

Fan Yuan's eyes widened in anger at Xuan Yi's heresy. He grabbed the gavel in front of Chu Yuncang and slammed it hard, shouting, "How dare you, a demon, confuse right and wrong like this! Where do you think the laws of Dongling are? Do you still have the law of the land?!"

Taoist Xuanyi ignored the angry Fan Yuan and closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't want to answer any more questions.

Fan Yuan was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to order the jailer to torture him, Liu Guang spoke first, "Master, do you need to ask Taoist Wuyou to come over?"

Before Chu Yuncang could answer, Taoist Xuanyi suddenly opened his eyes and said hurriedly, "No, no. You can ask whatever you want, and I will answer truthfully!"

Fan Yuan finally let out the anger he had been holding in his chest. He slammed the gavel down and demanded sharply, "Tell me, where did those girls go? Who killed the female corpse in the mass grave and Xie Tingxuan?"

Taoist Xuanyi glanced at the guards and jailers standing around and said coldly, "If these people heard my answer, they would all die."

He smiled arrogantly: "If you value their lives, you'd better let them retreat!"

Fan Yuan was shocked. He was not sure whether Xuan Yi was playing any tricks, so he turned to look at Chu Yuncang.

Chu Yuncang waved his hand gently, and the guards and jailers filed out. Only Chu Yuncang, Fan Yuan and Xie Qingli in the shadows were left in the torture chamber.

Taoist Xuanyi nodded in satisfaction and slowly spoke, "That female corpse was the Empress Dowager's medicine inducement. Are you referring to that eleven or twelve-year-old boy? He discovered the Empress Dowager's secret, and she ordered him to be silenced."

The faces of the three people in the room froze. Fan Yuan's heart was beating like a drum. This matter actually involved the Empress Dowager. Should he continue asking or stop here?

A trace of disgust flashed across Chu Yuncang's eyes, and he said coldly, "The medicinal lead you mentioned, is it that woman's heart? Did Xie Tingxuan discover the secret of the Empress Dowager using the heart as a medicinal lead?"

Taoist Xuanyi sneered, "Your Highness may have guessed that the medicine was a heart, but you certainly couldn't imagine that the heart was freshly taken out of the woman's body, still emitting heat and dripping with blood, and then cut into slices as thin as a cicada's wing with a sharp dagger."

"The Empress Dowager was beside me, eating bite by bite with her chopsticks. The taste was better than any other delicacy in the palace..."

"Enough!" Chu Yuncang shouted harshly, feeling nauseous in his heart. He once wondered why the Empress Dowager could stay so young. It turned out that she had done such an evil thing.

He calmed down a bit and continued to ask, "What about the other girls? There are over a hundred girls, surely not all of them were used as medicine by the Empress Dowager!"

Taoist Xuanyi saw that the three people in the room all had disgusting expressions on their faces, as if they had swallowed a fly. He felt extremely happy and wanted to laugh out loud.

He looked at Chu Yuncang and smiled mockingly, "Over the years, the Empress Dowager has come to Xuanjing Temple for retreat three or four times a year, selecting two or three medicinal ingredients each time. That adds up to more than a hundred people."

"However, the list you saw is only for the past two years. The ones before that have all been destroyed. So there are indeed many other girls. They were all secretly transported to Shengjing City. As for..."

While Taoist Xuanyi was talking incessantly and the other three people in the torture chamber were listening attentively, no one noticed that an extremely tiny blue light spot flew in quickly, followed closely by a red light spot.

Two beams of light flew into the torture chamber, one after the other, heading straight for Taoist Xuanyi, instantly burying themselves in his body...
