"Bai Hong, I'm sorry, I'm late!" Ju Yin learned of the Snow Beast clan's disaster.
"Your Majesty, here! I have not disgraced my mission!" Bai Hong took out an inscription stone from his divine soul space. He knelt on one knee, holding it with both hands and offering it to Ju Yin. He had finally waited for his master.
Ju Yin's expression tensed, and he waved his sleeve, bringing everyone into his space. Only Uncle Yao was left bewildered in the room. After a moment of stunned silence, he understood. He left the room, cast a barrier, and ordered the clan members not to disturb them.
He had long heard that the Divine Venerable Ju Yin possessed a spiritual quality space, which he had with him since birth. It looked like he had entered a space. This could not escape his discerning eye. As expected of someone favored by the heavenly gods, born with a divine fetus and possessing his own space.
It seemed that the Snow Beast King Bai Hong also had a close relationship with the Divine Venerable Ju Yin. There was something strange about Divine Venerable Ye asking the young master to descend to the mortal realm for tempering.
However, the Divine Venerable Ju Yin was a great benefactor to the clan, and the Phoenix clan would support her no matter what she did.
The young master had watched him grow up since childhood, and the future of the Phoenix clan rested on him. If the eldest and second young masters had not died in that disaster, the young master would not have had such a hard time. Fortunately, the young master was naturally optimistic and had not changed his disposition. The future belonged to the young people; these old men did not have much lifespan left...
In the space, Ju Yin did not rush to look at the inscription stone. She examined Bai Hong's meridians and discovered that he had not been poisoned with a simple Yuan dispersal pill. That poisonous pill carried a trace of demonic energy. Bai Hong could still control it with his immortal spiritual power for now, but once he became weak, the demonic energy would seize the opportunity to control him. It seemed the other party did not want Bai Hong to die.
Fortunately, she had bid on the Mist Spirit Immortal Grass. Ju Yin's healing technique, combined with Hu Hu's purification ability, could completely cure him.
Feng Chu, Zhao Yangzi, and the others were a little bewildered. Wasn't Bai Hong the Divine Venerable's friend? Why did it seem like a superior-subordinate relationship, and as if he had carried out a secret mission?
Chen Xi was even more panicked. Seeing Feng Chu looking over, he quickly said.
"I won't say anything," Hua Xun chuckled twice after hearing this. He made a throat-slitting gesture. It meant that if you spoke, he would silence you.
"Stop scaring him, it's so boring!" Long Hu Hu couldn't stand it.
"Your Majesty, can you explain?" Zhao Yangzi couldn't help but ask. He felt like he was being excluded. He might lose his position as the leader of the Seven Star Guards.
"Let me introduce you, Snow Beast King Bai Hong, one of the Seven Star Guards, the Shadow!" Ju Yin no longer hid anything.
"What? Where is Xuan Ji? Wasn't she?" Feng Chu asked.
"She wasn't. She only appeared to be. Do you remember when Father selected the Seven Star Guards, there was a trial? She didn't pass at that time, but I was friends with her and pleaded with Father. However, Father still chose another candidate to participate in the trial, and Bai Hong passed the trial. Thus, he smoothly became the Shadow.
At that time, Father forbade me from telling anyone. Today, seeing that trace of demonic energy suddenly appearing in Xuan Ji, I finally understood why she didn't pass the trial back then. That trial was specifically designed to restrain demonic creatures. Father's intention was to protect me, so naturally, all demonic creatures had to be excluded.
Today, Hua Xun and I secretly followed Xuan Ji and personally witnessed a large amount of demonic energy erupting from within her. She wasn't poisoned at all; she had a demonic seed hidden within her and was herself from the Demon Realm," Ju Yin said calmly. It was difficult not to feel sad. The person who had accompanied her since childhood betrayed her, not to mention being from the Demon Realm. Father must have sensed something back then, but he didn't tell her to avoid hurting her. No wonder Father had always been indifferent to Xuan Ji and never allowed her into his divine temple.
"What, did my godfather sense it long ago? But why didn't he deal with her earlier? He's really screwing his daughter over! Hmph! Godfather must be senile!" Long Hu Hu decided that the next time she saw her godfather, she would seize all his treasures, leaving nothing behind!
"This is not the Divine Venerable's fault. The Divine Venerable foresaw everything, but heaven's will cannot be defied. One can only follow the opportune moment and find the breakthrough to resolve it!" Hua Xun explained.
"Heh, you're talking about some mysterious and profound stuff again. I don't want to listen!"
"Hey, you little girl, who offended you? Why are you so angry?" Hua Xun was retorted, feeling a toothache!
"I... waaa... waaa... I'm so sad. If I hadn't believed Xuan Ji back then and been captured and forced, my sister wouldn't have died, and she would have gone through reincarnation for millions of years. It's too pathetic!" Long Hu Hu suddenly couldn't hold back and cried with self-reproach. She had wanted to beat Xuan Ji to death today, but unfortunately, she had escaped again! At that time, her sister had told her not to chase her.
Killing the beloved Nine Heavens Profound Lady in full view of everyone would have caused public outrage. This was why Ju Yin had stopped Hu Hu. It would be more satisfying to stuff her into a sack! Or to tear off her mask in public, letting her be scorned by thousands, that would also be a good method. Ju Yin thought of several methods. In the words of the Chinese people, there were thirty-six stratagems; if one didn't work, she would use another!
"Hu Hu, I don't regret it. Have you forgotten that you went back in time to save me? Besides, you are the most important person to me, of course, I have to save you!" Ju Yin hugged the weeping Long Hu Hu and comforted her softly.
Ju Yin had no choice but to cast a spell to make her sleep, otherwise, she felt like she would be drowned by her tears.
Everyone fell silent, reminiscing about the past. They had all been ordered by the Divine Venerable to leave, and when they realized what had happened, they watched helplessly as she disappeared.
"Alright, why are you all sad again?" Ju Yin scolded them irritably.
"Your subordinate dare not!" Zhao Yangzi and the others immediately felt the former majesty of the Divine Venerable Ju Yin!
"Your Majesty, what did Bai Hong inscribe?" Zhao Yangzi had a hunch that it was not simple. The ice moon mountain was besieged, and the ice moon city and surrounding sects remained silent, which he found suspicious.
"The Snow Beast clan is implicated because of me. I sent Bai Hong to secretly investigate the truth behind the destruction of the Divine Wood Realm. I think the person behind it all probably wanted this inscription stone."
"Yes, Your Majesty. My foolish younger brother was instigated to betray the clan. Nominally, he claimed to want our clan's secret treasure, but the person didn't even look at the treasures in the clan. I was careless and must have left traces, allowing them to know that I was holding an inscription stone that recorded the truth of that event.
I obtained this inscription stone by chance many years ago. It contained a magic formation that I couldn't decipher, only the recording function."
Chen Xi felt more and more that his life was not guaranteed. The Divine Wood Realm was a taboo in the Immortal Realm. As soon as any clue appeared, they would face a disaster of annihilation!
"I also found some clues back then, which is why they set up a scheme to force me. But they couldn't do anything to me, so they used Hu Hu, who was by my side, to their advantage. They also learned of Hu Hu's identity from Xuan Ji, and with the determination to cut the grass and eliminate the roots, they came up with that scheme," Ju Yin recalled.
"You can take a look!" Bai Hong suddenly said. He originally wanted to see the truth he had recorded.
Ju Yin nodded. She tried to decipher the magic formation and, unexpectedly, succeeded. Ju Yin guessed that the magic formation was too old, which was why she could decipher it.
She then tried to activate the inscription stone with her immortal spiritual power. This inscription stone was of a higher level than a visual stone. It could record sound and images and could restore the scene when the event occurred. A visual stone could only record images and sound, but it could not restore the scene.
