1364 Yu Huang Is Really Scheming
Zhan Jiuxiao picked up the smelly Demon Suppressing Eagle with the napkin.
He raised the Demon Suppressing Eagle and observed it carefully for a long time. Then, he said in surprise, “How could this thing…” Zhan Jiuxiao stared at Sheng Xiao and the others in surprise as he asked in confusion, “This is the Demon Suppressing Eagle refined by Wuya’s biological father, Master Duan Fen. 170 years ago, I used this Demon Suppressing Eagle to suppress a great fiendish cultivator in the valley near the Black Eye… ”
Then, Zhan Jiuxiao asked Sheng Xiao and the others, “Why did this thing appear in Cang Lang Academy’s inner academy?”
Zhan Jiuxiao’s reaction didn’t seem fake.
!!
He seemed genuinely puzzled by this.
If Zhan Jiuxiao was acting, his acting skills were flawless. Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang. Yu Huang, who had rich acting experience, could definitely tell if Zhan Jiuxiao was acting or was genuinely puzzled.
Yu Huang smiled when she received Sheng Xiao’s request for help. Then, she said, “It’s indeed strange that this thing appeared in the inner academy.” Yu Huang looked at Zhan Wuya and said, “When we caught the Succubus Witch and found this Demon Suppressing Eagle from his throat, we also found it baffling. If Mr. Wuya and Ye Qingyang hadn’t recognized this thing, we wouldn’t have known its true ident.i.ty.”
“We were puzzled when we found out that this thing was actually the Demon Suppressing Eagle and should have been hidden in the Black Eye forever with that great fiendish cultivator. That’s why we came to the War G.o.d Clan to let you determine if this thing is the real Demon Suppressing Eagle.”
“After all, the Demon Suppressing Eagle was refined by Master Duan Fen and personally suppressed in the body of a great fiendish cultivator by Prime Emperor Jiuxiao. In this world, no one knows the authenticity of this thing better than you.”
Facing Yu Huang’s doubts, Zhan Jiuxiao expressed his understanding and said, “This thing is indeed the Demon Suppressing Eagle. I can sense that there is still a little spiritual power that belongs to me in it.” Zhan Jiuxiao didn’t mind that the Demon Suppressing Eagle was smelly and dirty. After he pressed the finger of his thumb on the Demon Suppressing Eagle and felt the spiritual power fluctuations that belonged to him, he said with certainty once again, “It’s the Demon Suppressing Eagle. There’s no mistake.”
Seeing this, Yu Huang pointed out again, “Since this thing is the Demon Suppressing Eagle, why did it appear in the inner academy of Cang Lang Academy? Could it be that the great fiendish cultivator revived and was lucky enough to escape to the inner academy?” After a pause, Yu Huang continued, “After all, the inner academy is an independent s.p.a.ce of the Cang Lang Continent. If he really escapes to the inner academy to recuperate, he’ll be able to hide from everyone.”
When Zhan Jiuxiao heard Yu Huang’s words, he pondered for a moment and nodded as he lamented, “Back then, I personally suppressed the Demon Suppressing Eagle into the body of a fiendish cultivator. If you really found this Demon Suppressing Eagle in the body of a Succubus Witch, then that Succubus Witch might be that fiendish cultivator after he revived.”
“In that case, that Succubus Witch is very dangerous.” Zhan Jiuxiao suddenly tightened his grip on the Demon Suppressing Eagle. Then, he stood up and said, “170 years ago, the fiendish cultivator was personally suppressed by me in the Black Eye. Fiendish cultivators are evil and cruel by nature and kill people like flies. If he really recovers his cultivation and wants to start a ma.s.sacre in the inner academy, things will be bad.”
“This is my negligence. I’ll contact the dean of the inner academy now and apply to enter the inner academy to eliminate the Succubus Witch to prevent future trouble.”
With that, Zhan Jiuxiao was about to leave.
At this moment, the corners of Yu Huang’s lips suddenly curled up and she shouted softly, “Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, wait. I have another question that I can’t figure out no matter what. I hope Prime Emperor Jiuxiao can enlighten me.”
Seeing Yu Huang stop Zhan Jiuxiao again, Zhan Wuya looked at Yu Huang thoughtfully, then raised his head to stare at his Mentor’s back as he lamented inwardly, “Yu Huang is so sly!”
Zhan Jiuxiao turned around and stared at Yu Huang in surprise as he asked curiously, “Miss Yu Huang, what do you want to ask?”
Yu Huang put down the teacup in her hand and turned her body slightly. Then, she raised her head and met Zhan Jiuxiao’s questioning eyes. “It’s like this.” Yu Huang stood up to face Zhan Jiuxiao and said, “Just now, I was so focused on the Demon Suppressing Eagle that I forgot to mention another detail. When I thought about it just now, I had some doubts, so I wanted to hear you explain it to me.”
Pursing her lips, Yu Huang frowned and said, “You said that since the Demon Suppressing Eagle appeared in the inner academy of Cang Lang Academy, this means that it’s very likely that the Succubus Witch is the resurrection of a fiendish cultivator. However, although the Succubus Witch is ugly, his flesh and blood are rotten, and he actually speaks the language of the Holy Spirit Continent. He even chants a certain woman’s name repeatedly.”
“That name is Nian Xingguang.”
Yu Huang smiled as she pressed her left hand on Sheng Xiao’s right shoulder gently. Then, she looked up at Zhan Jiuxiao and said, “Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, you might not know this, but Nian Xingguang was my husband’s grandmother. Although she was a civilian, she was very close to Sheng Pinghui.”
“After a few interactions, Brother Xiao and I felt that the Succubus Witch is very likely our grandfather, Sheng Pinghui. If the Demon Suppressing Eagle was suppressed in the body of a great fiendish cultivator by you, why did it appear in our grandfather’s body?”
Zhan Jiuxiao listened to Yu Huang explain everything calmly.
Zhan Jiuxiao remained calm in the face of Yu Huang’s question. He stared at Sheng Xiao with amazement as he lamented, “I really didn’t expect Sect Master Sheng to be Pinghui’s grandson. Back then, when Pinghui acknowledged me as his mentor, he told me that he was already married in his hometown. However, his wife died, and he still had a son in his hometown.”
“I can’t believe that after more than a hundred years, Pinghui’s grandson has actually grown up to be so outstanding and I can actually get to meet Pinghui’s grandson.” Zhan Jiuxiao shook his head as he marveled at the wonders of fate. “If Pinghui knew about your current achievements, he would also be smiling in the netherworld.”
Sheng Xiao was unfazed by Zhan Jiuxiao’s words.
He wasn’t interested in acknowledging Zhan Jiuxiao as his relative.
“Prime Emperor Jiuxiao, I found out from Mr. Wuya that my grandfather was once your personal disciple. 170 years ago, because he was possessed by a fiendish cultivator, he did many heartless things and even hurt your eldest daughter. There’s no need to argue about who’s right and who’s wrong. I just want to know why the Demon Suppressing Eagle that should have been hidden in the body of a fiendish cultivator appeared in my grandfather’s body.”
Zhan Jiuxiao’s expression was also very puzzled as he said, “Pinghui was actually a kind and selfless person. Back then, that fiendish cultivator took advantage of Pinghui’s kind nature to approach him and secretly stole his consciousness. He occupied his body and did many wicked things.”
“In order to challenge the prestige of the War G.o.d Clan, he even boldly kidnapped my eldest daughter, Shuangxue, and threw her into the slums. He let her get raped by those dirty and despicable poor people… When I found her, she was already out of her mind.”
