Chapter 146 Let Them Go
Chapter 146 Let Them Go
Now, Bai Jiyue understood the whole story.
The Human Emperor probably wanted to obtain the five-colored spiritual roots through this unorthodox method to make himself invincible because he was born with deficient spiritual roots.
He imprisoned women from four tribes, had mute slaves trample them, and waited until they were three months pregnant before taking the fetuses out for cultivation.
Why let the mute slave do this? Maybe his spiritual roots are insufficient, so he is not good at that kind of thing.
Why do we need to watch? Perhaps it is a perverted human psychology. The more we lack something, the more we pursue it, and eventually our psychology becomes distorted.
If her guess is true, the Human Emperor probably won't have any offspring. The Human Emperor only has one prince and Princess Qingyue.
Princess Qingyue is the daughter of Prince Qing, and that prince may not be the emperor's son!
From the current perspective, the Human Emperor should not have achieved his goal through this method, otherwise he would not come here every ten days.
Putting the book into his arms, Bai Jiyue winked at Mingyuan.
Ming Yuan didn't even have to use his own skills to read her mind, he understood what she meant.
Everything remained the same, waiting for the mute slave to wake up. He would not remember that he had ever met Bai Jiyue and him, or had ever told the truth. This was the best thing for them, as it gave them enough time to transfer those women.
Even if they were discovered, it would not be until the next morning when the mute slave brought food to those women that they would find out they were rescued. By that time, the women might have already gone very far away.
He gave the mute slave a pill and the slave fainted. Then Bai Jiyue and Ming Yuan followed the secret passage into the stone chamber.
The four women knew that the action would take place tonight and had been waiting for a long time. There was a gleam in each of their eyes.
Bai Jiyue used the deadly sword to cut the chains that tied them. It was a bit difficult to take off the iron ring around their necks, so she just kept it on for the time being.
Then she led them down the secret passage and, according to the original plan, went out from the west wall of the temple's backyard, into the woods, and climbed over the high wall of the imperial mausoleum.
A ladder had already been prepared on the other side of the high wall. Even though the four women's spiritual roots were destroyed, they had no problem climbing the ladder.
Outside the high wall was the carriage that Mingyuan had already prepared. The four women climbed over the wall, got on the carriage, and Mingyuan drove them away.
Before getting on the carriage, the spirit woman suddenly grabbed Bai Jiyue's hand and communicated with her through her mind: "Aren't you going with us? If you stay, you will definitely be discovered."
Bai Jiyue smiled and patted her hands: "My identity is well disguised, don't worry, I will get out of it safely."
The spirit woman seemed to hesitate and said to her, "There are no ferocious spirit beasts in the valley below the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts."
Bai Jiyue was stunned.
The spirit woman said, "That day you asked that woman about a man, and I sensed your worry. This is the secret of our spirit tribe. If you save me, I will tell you.
"You humans have been spreading rumors that there are ferocious spirit beasts that devour people in the valley below the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts. In fact, we, the spirit race, spread the rumors deliberately. There are spirit beasts, but we have domesticated them. They are just ferocious to you humans on purpose, but they are actually very docile in front of us.
"There is also miasma. There is indeed miasma in the middle of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts. We deliberately scattered the seeds of a plant there and let it grow in the cracks of the rocks. When this plant grows up, it will emit a bad smell that makes people nauseous, but in fact, its toxicity is not too strong. If it falls to the bottom of the cliff, it can be detoxified by a plant growing at the bottom of the cliff.
"Besides, you've also seen the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts. There are a lot of plants growing on it. If someone falls down, they might get caught by those vines—"
She paused here and smiled at Bai Jiyue: "So, the person you care about may not be dead."
Bai Jiyue's heart skipped a beat: "If he is not dead, he may be in your Eldar country?"
The Eldar woman nodded.
Bai Jiyue excitedly held her hand: "Thank you for telling me this!"
The spirit woman patted her hand and said, "You are a good person. I am willing to help you. If you come to the spirit tribe in the future, I hope we can have a chance to meet again!"
Bai Jiyue nodded heavily.
After the two of them finished talking in their hearts, the spirit woman got on the carriage. Ming Yuan whipped the horse and the horse started running.
Bai Jiyue stood there and watched the carriage leave.
She had previously agreed with Ming Yuan that after sending these women out of the capital, they would find a remote place for them to leave on their own.
Only after the carriage could no longer be seen in the night did Bai Jiyue go back the same way and put away the ladder inside the high wall.
The mute slave was still tied up in the room. As she had agreed with Ming Yuan before, she untied the mute slave and placed him on the bed in his own room. Then she turned off the lights and left quietly.
She wanted to erase all clues so that he would not find out that she was involved so quickly. This would not implicate General Wang and would also give Ming Yuan enough time to take those women away.
Returning to her room, she pondered over what the spirit woman had told her, feeling a little excited.
According to what she said, there is a high possibility that Bai Shousheng is not dead, but if he is not dead, why hasn't he appeared in two years?
Even if he doesn't dare to appear in front of the world in his true identity, it should be possible for him to disguise himself and go to the Dark Stone Wasteland to find them!
It seems that I have to find a way to go down to the bottom of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts to check whether Bai Shousheng is dead or not!
If he is not dead, and he has not appeared for two years, could something unexpected have happened? She would have to discuss it with Bai Jiri again and think of a way to find him.
Thinking about this, she took the book that contained the evil cultivation method
With this thought in mind, she fell asleep. The next morning, she went to find General Wang and expressed her intention to leave. General Wang said that he would arrange for her to be sick in two days and then send her out.
She went to the temple to clean as usual. When she first arrived, she met the mute slave. He seemed quite normal. At the time of Si, she was wiping the tablets in the temple when she suddenly saw the mute slave running out in a hurry. She could tell from his back that he was very nervous.
It seems that he discovered that the woman in the stone chamber had disappeared!
The mute slave went to find General Wang. After a while, the guards of the entire imperial mausoleum strengthened their patrols. At the same time, a team of soldiers followed the mute slave and rode out of the imperial mausoleum on horseback.
In the evening, when he was leaving his post, Bai Jiyue heard the eunuchs discussing this matter.
It was said that a precious thing was stolen from the emperor's bedroom in the backyard, so he made such a big fuss. The soldiers followed the mute slave to catch the thief, but they didn't catch him.
Bai Jiyue sneered. The mute slave naturally didn't dare to say that the people he and the Human Emperor had imprisoned were secretly released!
The Human Emperor should have known about this matter, but he didn't come because the item was not worth his personal trip. If he had come, it would have led to more speculation.
