I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Three years ago, I felt something in my heart and chose to go into seclusion."

"Everything was going smoothly, but I never expected that someone would resort to trickery in the place where I was in seclusion. You should be able to tell from my memories what trickery I was subjected to this time, right?"

Just as the memory ended and the Queen of the Underworld's eyes regained clarity, Guan Xuelan's voice came over.

Glancing at her sideways, the Nether Queen pondered for a moment and nodded:

"If I'm not mistaken, the secret room where you were in seclusion was tampered with in advance."

"Someone set up a very sophisticated formation inside, and probably also placed something inside, causing your cultivation to progress rapidly at times and become extremely confused at other times, ultimately leading to your insanity."

"Not bad." Guan Xuelan nodded. "You are indeed amazing. I pondered for a long time before I figured out when I was hit."

Faced with the praise, the Nether Queen frowned. "But this memory only shows that someone tricked you back then, and then attempted to attack you. From beginning to end, you didn't even see that person's face clearly, right? How can you be sure that person was Gu Xiu?"

She was looking at the memory.

Although I don’t know what Guan Xuelan was thinking at the time, I can see that Guan Xuelan didn’t recognize the person’s identity at all.

From the beginning.

When Guan Xuelan stepped into the secret room for training, she had already fallen into a trap. Whether it was the infatuation, the invasion of the other party, or even until the other party was injured and escaped, Guan Xuelan was in a passive position from beginning to end.

From this, can we infer that it is Gu Xiu?

It's a bit sloppy.

"I am not a fool. If that were the case, I would not be so sure that the man was Gu Xiu, let alone let him die." Guan Xuelan snorted coldly and said:

"When I'm in seclusion, I've always been cautious. Whenever I clean up, I always ask someone close to me. That time, Gu Xiu was in charge of my secret room. At that time, his cultivation was completely wasted, and he had nothing to do every day. He even came to me and volunteered to clean the secret room."

"The results of it?"

"As a result, he secretly set up a formation in my retreat room, left a secret door, and even left behind some peacock wood."

"This thing can really make people feel upset. It is also because of this thing that I have unknowingly fallen into the devil's way."

The Queen of the Underworld frowned.

She had indeed heard of peacock wood, and it was indeed able to cause problems when a person was concentrating on cultivation, and could easily lead to obsession if not careful.

only……

"Perhaps someone else set it up, trying to pin the blame on Gu Xiu?" The Nether Queen was puzzled. "If Gu Xiu really wanted to do this, he certainly wouldn't have rushed to set up your retreat chamber. How could Supreme Guan not see such an obvious loophole?"

Guan Xuelan hummed:

"Of course I saw that, but this isn't the only thing that's suspicious about him."

"You have my memories, so you should know that I smelled a special fragrance on that person."

"That's the smell of black moon grass."

"During that time, Gu Xiu lived in a small cabin on Zhuofeng Mountain. It was close to the fairy cranes and the sect's spiritual beasts, but the most abundant thing there was Black Moon Grass. The smell of this thing is impossible to be exposed to if you don't live there every day."

"But once you're infected, it's extremely difficult to get rid of it."

"In the entire Qingxuan Holy Land, only Gu Xiu could possibly be contaminated by the scent of Black Moon Grass!"

This……

The Queen of the Underworld frowned. Guan Xuelan's statement did make sense, but she still felt it was a bit hasty.

but.

Guan Xuelan obviously knew what she was thinking, and before she could question it, she said again:

"If it were just these two points, I wouldn't doubt him."

"But do you know what poison I was poisoned with last?"

"Yes..." The Nether Queen pondered carefully, "It's a bit like the Qingshen incense from Zhongzhou?"

"Yes, it's the Qingshen Incense!" Guan Xuelan nodded.

"When this incense is lit, it can calm the mind and calm the heart. However, if it is paired with peacock wood, it can amplify the peacock wood's power and transform it into an evil object that can influence the mind and confuse people's desires."

"This is a secret recipe unique to Zhongzhou. It requires a large amount of spiritual medicine to prepare. It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Most importantly, its production method is extremely secretive and ordinary people have no way of knowing it."

“But I know that Gu Xiu knew about this thing five hundred years ago.”

"more importantly."

"Afterwards, I found the materials for making Qingshen Incense in Gu Xiu's residence, and even found half a stick of Qingshen Incense!"

This……

The Nether Queen raised an eyebrow. "But at that time, Gu Xiu had lost all his cultivation. Not to mention his lack of cultivation, how could he have invaded your retreat room without being discovered? Even if he had been hit by your palm, he could still escape. That's impossible."

"Just right. If those words only made me suspicious and unsure about Gu Xiu, then that palm strike was the main reason why I was sure that he was the one who did it!" Guan Xuelan snorted coldly.

"I am not surprised that Gu Xiu was able to block my palm strike."

"Because he had the Tiangang Heart Protection Mirror forged by my second disciple Yuchi Chunlei. It was made for Gu Xiu by my second disciple and given to him after he left the forbidden area. It even came into his hands three days before I went into seclusion."

“But when I stabilized my injuries and ended my retreat to look for him, I discovered this.”

"Gu Xiu's Tiangang Heart Protecting Mirror has been shattered."

"and."

"He still has injuries on his chest from the remaining force of the attack, and four ribs are broken."

"The main thing is."

"Whether it's his Tiangang Heart Guarding Mirror or the remaining wound on his chest, they all retain the power of my profound ice."

"you say……"

"If not him, who else?"

This……

The Nether Queen pondered for a moment: "You didn't confront me afterwards, search my soul, or anything like that?"

"Soul search is not possible. Gu Xiu was injured in the soul at that time, and his soul is a little special. It is impossible to search his soul. If we confront him..." Guan Xuelan's face turned cold:

"That traitor has been denying it all along."

"He only said that he encountered an assassin that night and chased him, but the assassin shattered his Tiangang Heart Mirror with a palm strike, severely injuring him. As for the rest, he knew nothing."

"But is this credible?"

"Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Now, the Queen of the Underworld was speechless.

indeed.

The evidence is overwhelming, but the explanation is even weaker.

From this perspective, it must have been Gu Xiu's doing.

"Everyone says that I treated my meritorious officials unfairly after Gu Xiu returned, and that I don't know how to judge people. But I was just concerned about the reputation of the sect and didn't tell anyone about it."

"That time, I was so angry that I almost killed him on the spot."

"Even though I've calmed down, I still want him to stay in the water dungeon until he dies. If it weren't for the other disciples of mine pleading for him afterwards, how could I have ended up in this situation because of him?"

Talk about it.

Guan Xuelan is still filled with hatred.

The Queen of the Underworld could probably understand it. After all, Guan Xuelan was the supreme ruler of a region and the leader of a sect. If this huge scandal were to spread, it would cause a huge earthquake for the entire Qingxuan and for her.

and so.

Even if she wanted to punish Gu Xiu, she would never really tell anyone about this.

otherwise.

God knows what kind of story will be told by those who are interested.

Say something.

The Queen of the Underworld thought about it from another perspective and realized that if she were Guan Xuelan, she would probably wish Gu Xiu would die on the spot to atone for his sins.

"Forget it. Speaking of that traitor, I feel uneasy." Guan Xuelan waved her hand and said:

"Now you should know."

"Rumors from the outside world are just rumors from the outside world, right?"

"I rebuilt Qingxuan and don't care about the so-called rumors from the outside world. As for me, once Qingxuan is rebuilt, I will naturally shut up all those gossipers from the outside world."

"Gu Xiu..."

"I will go to Zhongzhou sooner or later and kill him!"

Zhongzhou?

The Nether Queen heard the key words: "Gu Xiu is in Zhongzhou?"

"Yes."

The Nether Queen nodded and said, "I have received intel that Gu Xiu is in Zhongzhou. He appeared in Zhongzhou just a few days ago. I speculate that he must want to participate in the Tianyuan Sword Sect's sword sacrifice ceremony. Although the sword sacrifice ceremony is still some time away, his relationship with the Tianyuan Sword Sect makes it possible for him to go early."

"I intend to rebuild my Qingxuan Holy Land before this, and lead the Qingxuan disciples when the Sword Sacrifice Ceremony begins."

"Go up to Tianyuan and kill Gu Xiu!"

Guan Xuelan's blood boiled as she spoke, but the Queen of the Underworld frowned.

Everyone knows that Gu Xiu has a good relationship with the Tianyuan Sword Sect. Qingxuan's group of defeated soldiers went to Tianyuan...

I'm afraid he's looking for death.

However, before she could say anything more, a loud roar suddenly occurred, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"what happened?"

"Why is the Tianmu City's formation so volatile?"

"Is there a fight going on inside?"

Cries of surprise were heard one after another, and everyone saw that the formation covering the periphery of Tianmu City was constantly rumbling and shaking, with rays of light flashing up from time to time. It was obvious that a great battle was going on inside.

Guan Xuelan also noticed this scene, and at this moment Yun Danfeng smiled lightly and said:

"It's so surprising that the war has been delayed until now."

"But Sui Yu'an has already entered Tianmu City. This place is not a simple one. I'm afraid he will really die here this time."

These words.

The Queen of the Underworld did not answer.

No time.

She was secretly sending messages to Mo Er, hoping to find out what was happening inside Sui Yu'an. Although Sui Yu'an had told her that he would be fine, she was a little worried about the sudden change after waiting for so long.

But before she received a response.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and then two figures covered in blood appeared, and they actually broke through the Tianmu City's defense formation.

Rushed out from it.

Looking closely, who else could it be but Gu Sui Yuan Xiu?

At this moment, Gu Xiu's body was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was his or someone else's. He held a gun in one hand and pulled Mo Chen with the other.

At this moment, he rushed out of the formation, immediately increased his speed, and turned into a stream of light and fled into the distance.

And while he was escaping.

Inside Tianmu City, Mu Haifeng's roar was heard:

"Sui Yuan!"

"Kill the old city lord of Tianmu City and destroy the divine formation of Tianmu City."

"from now on."

"I, Tianmu City, swear to kill you!!!"
