Chapter 376 Secret Revealed
Lord Shen looked at Shen Wen who appeared at home by himself, and smiled contemptuously, "I said that you still need to rely on the power of the Shen family to gain a strong position in the court. You caused such a big disaster in Honglian Villa, and so many court officials and soldiers were implicated by you. The emperor must have punished you severely this time, right?"
Shen Wen smiled but didn't answer. He just looked at him coldly. Shen Wen said, "You want to capture me and present me to King Rui. You are so desperate. I'm afraid the emperor is pushing you too hard. Your seventh son is dead and your second brother has been robbed of his military power. You have no one to rely on, right? The young emperor wants to kill you, so you try every means to unite with King Rui to replace the young emperor and assist the new emperor. Speaking of this, I would like to ask, the descendants of the royal family are almost dead, which unlucky guy do you plan to let be the emperor?"
Lord Shen curled his lips and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Prince Rui is also of royal blood. He is the biological son of the late emperor. He has descendants. How come they are all dying?"
Shen Wen said, "That little baby was conjured up by the Fairy Shiya. All the royal descendants are dead. If your late master hadn't used the lives of his descendants to help him cultivate immortality, how could he have achieved great success so quickly? The most important thing is that Master Xin Xuan used an evil magic that would cut off his descendants to lead the king into evil ways, so that he could steal the country's fortune and help him cultivate into a demon. You were all deceived by that demon Xin Xuan."
Lord Shen found his absurd words ridiculous.
Shen Wenle looked at Lord Shen leisurely, and then continued: "That formation is a formation within a formation, a big formation within a small formation, a big formation of a father who wants to revive his son, a big formation of a king who wants to revive his concubine, and a big formation of a madman who wants to revive himself after many years. Old thing, can you tell me which one is which, the father, the son, the concubine, or the madman?"
There were turbulent waves in Lord Shen's turbid and cruel eyes.
Shen Wen casually raised the hand that was resting on Yingzhen, admiring each graceful finger with great interest.
Shen Wen said: "Why? You can't tell? Or you don't know at all? This shouldn't be the case! That person gave you such an important soul fire, but he didn't mention to you that he would come back one day, right?"
Shen Wen's sharp eyes shot towards Lord Shen like lasers. Lord Shen thought he had concealed it well. He even held the water cup and put it to his mouth tremblingly.
Shen Wen understood after just one look at his actions. He said, "It seems that he did tell you, but you simply don't believe that he will come back. After all, how can someone who has become an immortal return to the human world again?"
Lord Shen suppressed his fear and, like a tiger baring its fangs, he rebuked Shen Wen: "Bastard! Stop talking nonsense here. I think your brain is broken."
Unfortunately, what he said had no harmful effect on Shen Wen.
Shen Wen shrugged and said, "If you don't want to hear it, forget it. How about I say something else?"
Lord Shen really couldn't see through Shen Wen this time. He suddenly felt that this little thing was very dangerous, so he quietly reached into his sleeve and took out a hollow pendant.
About half a minute later, two armored warriors inexplicably appeared out of nowhere in the small dormitory. They stood guard on both sides of Lord Shen, one on the left and one on the right, staring at Shen Wen.
Lord Shen looked at Shen Wen like a tiger looking at an antelope.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wen burst into laughter. He laughed a few times before saying, "Look how scared you are? I just said a few nonsense things. Na! Now that the bodyguard is here, do you want to listen to what I say next?"
Lord Shen looked at him silently.
Shen Wen thought for a while and said, "That Ziying also has many substitutes. At first I thought you made them, after all, you are quite good at this, right? A few days ago, that house killed a lot of people who look like me, right? You probably don't understand what I mean. I mean that all the skeletons in the Prince's Mansion look like Ziying. They were probably made by the former prince to fool his father, the emperor. Isn't there a legend that only by sacrificing a blood relative of the deceased can the dead be resurrected? But the emperor's brain is not very smart. Even if he got the real body of Ziying, what does it matter? The corpse of Concubine Xianrou on the altar is simply a fake. The real corpse was hidden by the prince. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? The surprise is still to come. Do you know where the little bit of corpse left by Concubine Xianrou, which looks like Buddha's bones, is? It's on the wall behind a painting in the Prince's Mansion."
Shen Wen treated Lord Shen as the late Emperor Shizong and laughed at him like a fool.
Lord Shen was also very surprised. He had lived for so many extra years, but he never expected that one day someone would be able to explain to him the puzzling thing that happened back then. You know, because the resurrection formation did not work, Emperor Shizong almost killed all the servants in the Prince's Mansion.
Shen Wen pointed at Lord Shen and laughed, his laughter getting louder and louder.
Shen Wen laughed enough and then said, "You old rogue, do you think you are old and blind because you are this old? You are wrong. Back then, Ziying was abducted into the Shen family by your fifth son, and later gave birth to a child. Then, she left the Shen Mansion quietly without any of you noticing. And then..."
Lord Shen seemed to have guessed what he was going to say next, so he asked anxiously: "But...what happened next? Who rescued him? Was it the prince's people? Or maybe the prince faked his death, and they have been together for a long time. Do you know?"
Shen Wen suddenly stopped talking and changed the subject, "Your second brother who is a general didn't have his entire family executed? Did you save him? He is a traitor, but you are not. You have always been ashamed of betraying your country for glory. After all, you call yourself a great scholar. Haha! You are so old that you can't even keep this integrity. You collaborated with the enemy and betrayed your country, and you betrayed your country together with your good second brother."
Lord Shen was so shocked when his secret was exposed that he slammed the table in anger. The two Iron Armor Blood Talismans beside him immediately moved, heading towards Shen Wen with murderous intent.
Shen Wen looked straight at Lord Shen and challenged him, "You want to kill me? Are you willing to kill me? Do you dare to kill me? I am the emperor's man now."
Shen Wen knew very well what Lord Shen was thinking. He never considered himself a person, but only an object, an object of value to him. Since it was a hot object in his hands, he could certainly exchange it with various forces to gain benefits, so he secretly asked Shen Shuyu to bring the blood talisman to capture Shen Wen.
Lord Shen had murderous intent in his eyes. He regarded him as a thorn in his flesh. Lord Shen gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe you are not afraid of death. Since you are a person with brains and since you don't listen, how can I tolerate you?"
As he spoke, the two blood symbols beside him took a step forward, exuding murderous aura.
Shen Wen was still smiling. He sighed and said, "Well, since I'm going to die, how about you give me some time and tell you something before I die?"
Lord Shen looked at Shen Wen coldly.
Shen Wen said, "Ziying was killed by your good second brother who sent your youngest son, Master Shen Qi. Master Shen Qi brought a group of people to Hongni Village and trampled Ziying into a pulp."
Lord Shen was horrified. He was in a trance for a long time and couldn't speak. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't help but mutter: "This... this shouldn't be! It's not... it's not..."
Lord Shen suddenly raised his head and asked, "You just said it was in Hongni Village? Which Hongni Village? He clearly killed the prince..."
When he mentioned the word "Crown Prince", he stopped abruptly.
Lord Shen took two steps back, in even greater disbelief.
Shen Wen laughed and said, "This is what they call God disposes, killing Ziying is no different from killing the crown prince, your seventh son is not wronged."
Lord Shen was so angry that he cursed his seventh son.
But in the eyes of Lord Shen, this is different. If Ziying was alive, if Ziying had fallen into his hands at that time, he would have been of great use. Now that he is getting old, how can he refine Ziying's blood into elixir? Then why should he be afraid of birth, aging, sickness and death?
With nowhere to vent his anger, he looked up and pointed at Shen Wen and said, "Are you done talking? Then you can go die."
Shen Wen said, "You really don't plan to keep me? If I die, how will you explain to the emperor? And that tyrannical uncle Rui?"
Lord Shen flicked his sleeves and said, "Of course someone will replace you."
Shen Wen asked again: "What about Emperor Shizong?"
Lord Shen smiled sarcastically at Shen Wen and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Shen Wen nodded and said, "I know. I said it at the beginning. Your old master, Emperor Shizong, set up five interconnected formations in the Crown Prince's Mansion. He wanted to revive Concubine Xianrou, he wanted to revive his son the Crown Prince, he wanted to revive Ziying, he also wanted to revive himself, and there was another formation... to ensure that nothing could go wrong. His last formation was set up for his grandson, the current young emperor. There is a saying in this world called "reincarnation through a corpse". Maybe your old master, Emperor Shizong, has already returned to the palace and sat on the throne again through his grandson's body."
Lord Shen took several steps back, his whole body swaying. If he had not been still conscious and leaning forward, he would have fallen down.
Lord Shen was frightened out of his wits. He kept recalling the several times he had met the little emperor, and how different the little emperor was from before.
I dare not think about this further. Emperor Sejong is different from the little emperor who is still wet behind the ears. If he had known that Emperor Sejong was coming back, he would not have dared to rebel even if his entire family was killed!
Lord Shen pointed his finger at Shen Wen while trembling, and said with great difficulty, "Kill him... As long as his blood remains, it will be enough..."
Shen Wen found his embarrassed look extremely funny. He said, "You still want to kill me? Don't you think that if I am not sure, how can I be willing to fall into the trap?"
Lord Shen suddenly looked at him and asked excitedly: "What do you mean?"
Shen Wen spoke as if he were talking about a divine book: "Have you ever heard of a kind of light? A light of justice? It is a deadly weapon that will kill you evil spirits instantly!"
