After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

Si Xuan and the other two widened their eyes further.

Your Highness is amazing.

Not only did they see the evil, but they could also control Him.

Zhou Yi pointed at Jiang Chong's corpse from afar, releasing the sealed chakras.

A soul identical to his rose from his corpse.

In this parallel world, there are immortals and demons, but no ghosts.

After a person dies, the seven souls quickly dissipate and become death energy.

When the seven spirits are scattered, the three souls also vanish into nothingness.

Looking up at the starry sky and estimating the time, "Jiang Chong" looked surprised.

"how is this possible?"

He had been dead for two hours, so how could he still be conscious?

Looking at the physical body kneeling on the ground, He finally realized the fact that He was a spirit.

He waved his hand to control his nascent soul.

With the nascent soul present, combined with will and memory, it can possess another body and be reborn.

"impossible!"

After continuous attempts to control the device without receiving timely feedback, "Jiang Chong's" fear turned to anger, and he roared:

"My nascent soul, what... what have you done to me?"

Not only was it uncontrollable, but its nascent soul roared and pounced.

With a thought, Zhou Yi sent Nie aside.

Wu Meng and the other two were already numb from watching.

Your Highness is truly formidable.

They actually managed to extract another spirit from Jiang Chong's corpse.

Moreover, this spirit is conscious and has memories, making it almost indistinguishable from a living person.

They knew their prince was powerful, but they never imagined he was this powerful.

……

Jiang Chong's soul won't last much longer.

To understand the whole story of the Crown Prince case, we must act quickly.

Zhou Yi asked in a way that left no room for doubt:

"Jiang Chong, tell us the truth about the Crown Prince case from back then."

Anger flashed in Jiang Chong's eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally conceded defeat: "I... Your Highness, could you possibly revive this old servant?"

"Your central soul is about to dissipate; even a god couldn't save you," Hu Die sneered.

Resurrected? Isn't that enough trouble they've caused to humanity?

Jiang Chong sneered:

"Since I can't survive, why did I say that?"

A burst of dragon flame shot out, the raging flames burning towards "Jiang Chong".

Samadhi Fire is remarkably effective against spirits.

Jiang Chong's soul was instantly burned and screamed in agony:

"Okay, I'll talk, I'll tell you..."

Zhou Yi retrieved the Dragon Flame.

More than twenty years ago.

"Jiang Chong" began his speech, "The Crown Prince wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and has joined forces with Grand Marshal Wei Qing..."

Wu Meng frowned deeply, while Si Xuan clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

This guy is clearly talking nonsense.

The Crown Prince and Grand Marshal Wei rebelled, and Empress Wei was the mastermind...

"I had hoped to let you live a little longer, but it seems you are unwilling."

Zhou Yi pointed to the Qian Yuan Mirror, and Chong Si Xuan nodded.

Si Xuan understood immediately, picked up the bronze mirror, and shone it on Jiang Chong's soul.

"Ah, ah-"

Jiang Chong screamed miserably and rolled on the ground.

This was the first time Zhou Yi had ever learned that the Qian Yuan Mirror could cause such great harm to spiritual bodies.

Back then, his parents left him no gold or silver jewelry, only this bronze mirror.

Could there be some other deeper meaning?

Under the illumination of the Qian Yuan Mirror.

Jiang Chong's spirit became increasingly agitated, and its state became more and more unstable.

It seemed as if it might turn into a wisp of smoke and vanish without a trace at any moment.

He tried to escape, but was imprisoned in front of the grave by unseen supernatural powers.

Zhou Yi took the Qian Yuan Mirror and pressed his hand against the back of the bronze mirror.

The mirror shimmered, radiating golden light, its intensity increasing several times over.

Jiang Chong's screams became even more piercing.

The black mist-like spirit tumbled in the air.

Its head tilted left and right, as if it were about to split in two.

Zhou Yi held the mirror in his left hand and waved it lightly with his right.

call--

Jiang Chong's spirit, in its spiritual form, was split in two.

It's as if two spirits were sculpted from the same mold.

Zhou Yi smiled faintly.

So, this is the method for extracting the Heavenly Soul.

The Heavenly Soul stood there, seemingly dazed and confused, barely conscious.

After his Heavenly Soul was extracted, Jiang Chong's Earthly Soul appeared somewhat dazed and even more sinister.

Knowing he was no match for Zhou Yi, Jiang Chong's earth spirit gave up resisting:

"I am nothing but a knife; there is someone else who wants to kill the prince."

"Tell me, who is it?" Zhou Yi asked.

"You'll never know in this lifetime! Hehehe..."

"A dead duck has a tough mouth."

Zhou Yi shook his head. "Don't forget, 'Sin' can make you recall all the wrong things you've done in your life."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and cast a spell.

The evil spirit that had been waiting on the side roared and pounced on Jiang Chong's earth soul.

The Earth Soul carries all of humanity's memories.

From this perspective alone, He is not much different from the real person.

The demon, its eyes burning with flames, roared at Jiang Chong's earth spirit:

"You are guilty! You are utterly sinful..."

The guilty things I did as a child came flooding back uncontrollably.

Furthermore, it is reflected in the raging flames in the eyes of evil.

have to say.

Jiang Chong is a man who has done all sorts of evil things.

Even in his early childhood, he committed numerous misdeeds, which can be described as countless.

Zhou Yi had no interest in understanding the life of a villain.

He controlled the evil spirits and directly rewound the timeline to more than twenty years ago.

All the past events are now vividly before my eyes:

Jiang Chong, at the age of thirty-five, had committed countless evil deeds and was not tolerated by the various states.

He arrived in the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty and unintentionally obtained a copy of the Sunflower Manual.

A mysterious person told him that in order to practice this skill, he must combine it with death energy.

After several twists and turns, he surrendered to the imperial court and became a cruel official.

Those who deserve to be killed must be killed.

Even criminals who could be spared execution must be killed.

His ruthless methods of killing were quite compatible with the Empress Wu's iron-fisted rule, which is why he was repeatedly promoted.

In order to control the court officials and suppress dissenting voices, Empress Wu created the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Jiang Chong was appointed commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and his killings became even more unrestrained.

As the level of the Sunflower Manual increases, the amount of death energy required for cultivation also increases.

He increasingly enjoyed confiscating property and exterminating entire families, even extending to the execution of nine generations of relatives.

once.

The Crown Prince's servant was punished by Jiang Chong for driving his carriage through the Empress's private lane.

The Crown Prince did not want to trouble Empress Wu with this matter.

then.

He went to Jiang Chong's door to ask him to accept the punishment for the servants, only hoping that this matter would not be reported to Emperor Wu.

Jiang Chong flatly refused and even spoke ill of the Crown Prince in front of Empress Wu.

He used this to gain favor and win the Emperor's reward.

At that time, Empress Wu was focused on grooming the crown prince, so this little matter had no impact on him.

Moreover, the Crown Prince has always been kind-hearted and wouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter.

Jiang Chong was petty and vindictive.

Even the smallest matter can lead to the extermination of nine generations of a family, far more than just the execution of the entire clan.

Judging others by his own standards, he was always worried that the crown prince would retaliate against him after ascending the throne.

A small matter that the crown prince didn't remember became a thorn in his heart.

someday.

in the secret room.

A figure dressed in black stood with his back to the camera, his hood pulled low to completely obscure his face, and said:

"Jiang Chong, once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will surely die."

"Alas, what can I do now that things have come to this?"

"I have a plan that can bring down the Crown Prince and eliminate future troubles."

"please say."

"The Emperor has been having recurring dreams lately, in which someone is trying to assassinate him. I will make him see the assassin, but he will not be able to catch him."

"What...do you want me to do?"

"All you need to do is direct the Empress's suspicions toward the Crown Prince and Empress Wei."

……

At Longhua Gate, the Martial Emperor spotted the assassin but couldn't catch him at all.

It turns out that someone had indeed made this arrangement on purpose.

Who exactly is this man in black, hiding his face?

Zhou Yi and the others held their breath and stared intently.

The man in black reached out and pulled down his hood.
