1 bloodline per second, awaken the ancient holy body, I will rule forever

Before he knew it, an hour had passed. Emperor Qian took a deep breath and felt a lot more relaxed.

But he still didn't quite believe he was poisoned: "How could I be poisoned?"

"Who in this country of Qian dares to poison me?"

Qin Mu frowned and said directly, "If you weren't poisoned, why did your body decay so quickly? Haven't you ever thought about this?"

Emperor Qian couldn't help but feel nervous.

Qin Mu continued, "But, let's not talk about this anymore. You have to help me do something."

Emperor Qian was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, can you help me find the mastermind behind this?"

If he was really poisoned, it means that the person who poisoned him is definitely not a trivial person.

After all, as the ruler of Qian Kingdom, who could poison him under his nose?

This was so terrifying to him!

It even made him feel like he had a thorn in his back, or as if someone was sleeping beside him.

Qin Mu said casually: "I will find out who is behind this, but you have to help me do that."

"I asked you to help me do something, but that's not a reason for you to order me around."

Emperor Qian's scalp tingled, and he quickly said, "I dare not, Master, please feel free to speak."

Qin Mu casually took out the few black gold fragments and said, "If I remember correctly, you said that when you were young, you were seriously injured and accidentally learned the magic technique? Is that correct?"

After a moment of silence, Emperor Qian gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed true!"

"Then you should be able to recognize what is written on this fragment of black gold page, right?"

Qin Mu said in a cold voice, and handed one of the black gold fragments to Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qian took it and took a look, his eyes showing surprise: "This is actually an ancient magic rune, Master, where did you get this?"

The ancient magic runes had been lost for a long time, and even he only learned them by chance.

Moreover, the carrier that records the ancient magic words no longer exists in the world and is almost only circulated in the hands of the magic sect.

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with you. You just need to help me translate it."

"I can translate it."

After a moment of silence, Emperor Qian said, "But it will take time."

Qin Mu frowned. "Why does it take so long? Isn't it easy to translate it?"

Emperor Qian gave a bitter laugh and said, "Director, you can tell at a glance that this ancient magic rune has the ability to corrode other people's minds."

"Even now, I have to rest for several hours after reading a paragraph, so it will take at least four to five days to translate it all."

He didn't lie.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "Okay, then during these four to five days, I'll help you find the poisoner."

Emperor Qian is now his demon puppet, and can be regarded as a force in his hands.

Qin Mu also didn't want Emperor Qian to die.

Emperor Qian's eyes showed gratitude, and he nodded quickly: "Thank you, Master."

Qin Mu said directly: "First, find the commander who is responsible for your daily life."

Obviously, if Emperor Qian was poisoned, this person would be in great danger.

Even if he did not poison the person on his own initiative, he could have been bribed or threatened.

Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and shook a bell beside him.

Not long after, a beautiful palace maid came out.

Emperor Qian said, "Please invite Eunuch Wu over."

The beautiful palace maid slowly left.

Not long after, a red-robed eunuch came over.

He was the eunuch in charge of the seal beside Emperor Qian, and his name was Wu Yong.

When Eunuch Wu arrived, he immediately bowed to the Emperor Qian and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"

Emperor Qian didn't say much, and Qin Mu's aura pressed down on Eunuch Wu:

"Have you ever attempted to harm His Majesty?"

Feeling this overwhelming aura, like mountains and seas, Eunuch Wu, who was already a late-stage military commander, felt his scalp tingle. Hearing Qin Mu's words, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Qian: "Your Majesty, how dare I have second thoughts about you? This must be a misunderstanding!"

Emperor Qian stared at Eunuch Wu with a cold gaze: "Are you not going to tell the truth?"

Qin Mu raised his hand and slapped him.

Eunuch Wu's entire body was knocked flying.

And he suddenly realized one thing, Qin Mu seemed to really want to kill him.

Extreme fear rose in his heart, and Eunuch Wu said in a trembling voice: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

He explained the whole process of the matter in a flash, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

It turned out that not long ago, someone gave him a treasure and asked him to place a palace maid with a not-so-clean background in the imperial kitchen.

Hearing this, Qin Mu and Emperor Qian looked at each other and became a little wary.

Emperor Qian immediately said, "Send the order down, have Commander Chen bring that palace maid here!"

Qin Mu shook his head and said directly, "I'll go there myself."

After saying that, Qin Mu found out where the imperial kitchen was and went there immediately.

After finding the palace maid, a hint of determination suddenly flashed in the maid's eyes.

Qin Mu didn't think twice and just raised his hand to restrain the palace maid and pressed her acupoints.

Afterwards, Qin Mu directly used the soul-searching technique included in "The Holy Way - Hunyuan Destiny" to investigate the situation of the palace maid.

Sure enough, Qin Mu found some clues in the palace maid's memory.

The palace maid had once come into contact with a mysterious master, who had mentioned the word "Crown Prince".

The prince...

To be honest, as an emperor, Emperor Qian lived long enough.

In fact, he had already established the position of crown prince. Crown Prince Liu Yu was probably dissatisfied and had long wanted to take action against Emperor Qian in order to ascend the throne.

After considering for a moment, Qin Mu did not take the palace maid away. Instead, he sealed her memory and returned to Emperor Qian's bedroom.

Emperor Qian dismissed the people around him and asked nervously, "Master, what's the situation?"

Qin Mu said, "It must have been the Crown Prince who did it."

Emperor Qian's eyes revealed a hint of bitterness, but he didn't look too surprised. "Then I will give the order immediately..."

Qin Mu said, "Don't be anxious."

"Judging from the Crown Prince's existing power, he shouldn't have the urge to poison someone and rebel. Furthermore, your physical condition will soon be exposed."

"And he didn't clean up the mess very well, so I suspect the prince might have other motives."

"If we act rashly, we might push him to the limit and force him to abdicate."

Emperor Qian's expression changed slightly: "Force the emperor to abdicate directly?"

"What does the master think?"

Qin Mu said, "Of course, we need to find out the truth of the matter and defeat them one by one."

Although Emperor Qian was depressed, he could only follow Qin Mu's opinion.

Qin Mu added, "Anyway, you should translate this magic text here."

"I will handle the prince's affairs."

Emperor Qian nodded and said, "You can contact the guard commander Chen Fang. He will tell you about the situation in the East Palace."

Emperor Qian then gave Qin Mu another token: "This token represents me. With this token, you can freely enter and exit most places in the imperial palace, including the East Palace."

Qin Mu nodded and went to see Chen Fang again.

Eventually, Qin Mu learned that the strongest man under Crown Prince Liu Yu was named Wang Ziwei, who was a guest official of the Crown Prince but was worthy of his trust.

Although Wang Ziwei lived in the inner city of the capital, he could enter and leave the palace freely.

Qin Mu decided to start with Wang Ziwei.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to the prince's mansion, put on an invisible cloak, and sneaked in.

Arriving at a room, Qin Mu pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing the door move without wind and opened strangely, Wang Ziwei, who had the strength of a mid-level martial commander, also changed his expression.

But before he could say anything, he felt a strong wind coming, and the next moment, the tip of the sword appeared in front of his neck.

Qin Mu's figure slowly emerged: "If you don't want to die, stop yelling."

Wang Ziwei's scalp tingled, and he asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Mu formed a seal with his hands and slapped a golden line into Wang Ziwei's forehead.

This is also a trick recorded in "The Holy Way: Hunyuan Destiny", called the Slave Soul Seal, which can be used to control others.

As expected, Wang Ziwei suddenly felt that his mind seemed to be dominated by Qin Mu, and Qin Mu seemed to be able to control everything about him!

He asked in a trembling voice, "What did you do to me?"

Qin Mu said coldly: "If you don't want to die, answer my question."

Wang Ziwei gritted his teeth, his aura burst out, and he suddenly took a few steps back. Then he reached across his waist and three flying knives appeared in his hand.
