Chapter 214: The Head of the Voodoo Sect
he Cosmos, so what's the point of making such a big deal out of a global exhibition" A few people walked toward their seats. The Judge spoke up, puzzled."Although the 'Heart of the Universe' isn't for...[]
"On behalf of the Heavenly Yin Kingdom, I would like to apologize to General Ling!" The man with the thick beard bowed again.
"Please rest assured, Ling Shuai. We will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Is that so" Ling Hao spoke lightly, "What kind of explanation are you planning to give me"
"Ling Shuai, this matter should be the work of the Wuzhi Sect. The sovereign has already sent people to summon their sect master to the capital." Luo Saihu responded.
"Ling Shuai, if it's convenient, please come to the capital city. The lord wishes to personally apologize to you!"
"Voodoo Sect" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes!" the bearded man breathed a deep sigh and replied.
"Hehehe, then let's go meet them!" Ling Hao smiled faintly, then waved his hand to the three thousand Blood Shadow warriors: "All stand in place!"
“Yes, as you command, my lord!” The three thousand men roared in unison.
After ten minutes, Ling Hao and his five companions boarded a luxury limousine provided by the Heavenly Shadow Nation and headed towards the capital.
The entire country of Tianyin was only the size of a palm. It took less than three hours for a special car to drive into the capital city.
A broad road leads straight to the Heavenly Palace of Tianyin Nation. Along the way, a red carpet lines the ground, and banners flutter in the wind.
Along the road, every three steps there is a sentry post, and every five steps there is a guard. Fully armed soldiers saluted one after another, and hundreds of thousands of people cheered holding flowers.
Standard etiquette ceremony!
In a moment, a special carriage drove into the imperial palace gates. It entered the magnificent and opulent palace complex, finally stopping about 100 meters from the main hall's entrance.
Then, led by the bearded man, they entered the hall.
Inside the main hall, a man around sixty sat on a golden throne. He was the King of Tiyin Kingdom, Han Ting.
Another ten high-ranking officials from the Heavenly Yin Kingdom stood in the center of the main hall, each with a solemn expression. Their eyes fell on Ling Hao, and an imperceptible trace of apprehension flashed within them.
"With the esteemed presence of His Majesty, I feel deeply unworthy. Please accept my humblest apologies!" Hong Ting descended from the golden throne, his voice laced with deference.
"Your Majesty, it's good to see you again!" Ling Hao spoke softly.
More than a year ago, the two had met once, so they were not strangers.
"Ling Shuai, please sit down!"
Tang Ting made a gesture of invitation and then led Ling Hao to two golden chairs on the right, where they sat down. The four Zhuque stood behind them.
"Ling Shuai, first of all, I want to apologize to you. I'm so sorry that this happened!" Hang Ting looked at Ling Hao and spoke.
"Your Majesty, let's cut to the chase. I'm not here for a nostalgic chat!" Ling Hao raised a teacup and took a sip.
The national tea of the Heavenly Yin country, he had already tasted it the last time he came, and it was quite good.
"Come, announce the head of the Wudou Sect, Wu Liao!" Hang Ting took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"Announce, the Sect Master of the Wudou Sect, Wu Liao, enters the hall!" A loud voice echoed through the hall.
Two minutes later, a man in his fifties, accompanied by two soldiers, walked in. He was thin and had sharp eyes, with an aura of coldness surrounding him.
"Greetings to the sovereign!"
A middle-aged man walked to the center of the hall, first glanced at Ling Hao then turned to Hang Ting and bowed.
In the celestial kingdom of Tianyin, there was no custom of bowing down. Between monarchs and officials, they showed respect by making bows.
"Wu Liao, do you know your crimes!" Hang Ting spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance. I don't understand what you mean." Wu Liao said after a slight pause.
He received an imperial summons a few hours ago, ordering him to enter the palace immediately. The emperor had important matters to discuss with him.
After receiving the order, he had a hunch about what was going on.
He has been unable to contact the few people sent to Daxia Country since last night. Knowing that they are most likely already in grave danger, and now that the national leader is summoning him, there is no doubt that it is because of this matter.
However, with a purpose in his heart, he did not panic nor did he have any intention of fleeing. He calmly followed the Imperial Guards back to the capital city.
When he first entered the main hall and saw Ling Hao and several other people from Daxia Kingdom, his suspicions were confirmed. However, he remained calm and collected.
This is the imperial palace of Tianyin Nation. With only five people on the other side, what kind of storm could they possibly stir up
"You're still pretending to be insane!" Han Ting's voice dropped. "You dare say that those scoundrels who went to Dongzhou in Daxia Kingdom to assassinate Ling Shuai weren't from your Wudou Sect"
"Ah" Wu Liao feigned surprise: "Your Majesty, you can't joke about this! This is a capital offense!"
"I swear to the sovereign, the Wudou sect has never done such a thing. In the past month, all disciples of the Wudou sect have been cultivating within the sect, preparing for next month's sect martial arts competition…"
"Damn you! Even at the brink of death, you dare to quibble!" Hang Ting coldly interrupted him, a kingly aura emanating from his body.
After a short pause, he continued, "Should I remind you that Ling Shuai was poisoned by the Yin Devouring Flower"
"You come to tell me, in all of Tianyin Kingdom, besides your Wuzhi Sect, who else has the ability to refine a highly poisonous substance like Shiyou Flower into a colorless and odorless poison"
"Your Majesty, if this alone is enough to determine that this was the doing of our Wudou Sect, then it's too rash a judgment, and it also elevates our Wudou Sect too highly!" Wu Liao frowned slightly.
"Although our Coven excels in poison making, a rare poison like the Ecstasy Flower is something I've only heard of, never seen. Let alone refined it!"
Among the extraordinary people in the world, there are countless individuals with incredible abilities. It's not impossible that some powerful masters outside of society have the ability to refine the Phantom Bloom!
"You're quite the debater, aren't you" Xuanpang spoke up calmly at that moment.
But, don't you know, the aura around you has already betrayed you
Although, after passing through seventy-seven forty-nine processes, the Ecstasy Flower can refine a colorless and odorless Ecstasy Flower toxin.
But the Shiyu Flower itself has a very unique smell, and anyone who comes into contact with it will carry that scent faintly on them for a month.
"From the moment you stepped into the hall, I smelled that scent on you, and now you tell us you've never been in contact with the Dusk Bloom!"
“You're lying!” A strange glint flashed in Wu Liao’s eyes.
He clearly hadn't expected there to be experts in the audience. Not only did they know that the Ecstasy Flower had a unique flavor, but they were also familiar with all seventy-seven forty-nine processes involved in its cultivation.
What a blunder!
After a slight pause, he took a deep breath and continued speaking in a low voice.
"What are you, a little kid who hasn't even grown hair yet, talking nonsense here!"
"Who told you that the蝕幽花 has a unique aroma, it's utterly ridiculous! You probably don't even know what an 蝕幽花 is, do you"
"Well, let me introduce you to who he is!" Ling Hao's voice sounded softly.
He, is the chief consultant of my Blood Shadow Army's Medical Corps. At the same time, he is one of the two great prodigies of Xia Guo's Xuan Men in the past few centuries!
Although the蝕幽 flower is a highly poisonous substance, it is also a type of medicinal herb. Alchemist's shops always keep a stock of it!
Now, tell me, does he know what an Erosion Yin Flower isoman was stunned for a long time.Then, with a menacing glare, he turned to the two men in black: “You two useless wastes! What are you waiting for Get your hands on him and cripple the hand that struc...
