Bo Yikao Finally Saw the Light
"Eek?"
Hearing the voice of Bo Yikao was awake, Jinling couldn't help but feel annoyed.
What kind of weird sound is that?
The sound was a bit strange.
But without a doubt, the illusory figure beside Jinling was none other than Bo Yikao's Primordial Spirit, which had collapsed in full view of everyone.
Since Bo Yikao's Primordial Spirit is already here.
It's obvious who was behind what happened before.
Opening his eyes, Bo Yikao looked at the blue sky and white clouds before him, his eyes filled with confusion. He remembered...
"I am already dead!"
Bo Yikao puzzled.
Even though he had never been to the Netherworld Underworld, Bo Yikao could tell that the scene before him was definitely not something that should appear in the Netherworld Underworld.
When Bo Yikao sat up, full of doubt, he saw a figure not far away looking down at something.
"Young lady, did you save me?"
Bo Yikao cupped his hands in confusion.
"Save you?"
Upon hearing Bo Yikao's voice, Jinling turned her head slightly, revealing a sinister smile, and said, "No, it should be said that I'm the one who harmed you!"
As Quasi-Sage, putting aside Jinling's ability to control his expression, the sheer chilling aura he exuded at this moment was enough to Bo Yikao the wrong track.
After startling Bo Yikao, Jinling turned her head back to watch the battle below.
The most urgent task now is not to focus on Bo Yikao, but to witness the fall of True Person Taiyi.
Even...
We might need her to finish the job.
Although True Person Taiyi had lost his mind, there was still Yuding True Person remained sober.
As a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect and a disciple of Sage, Yuding True Person certainly possessed many life-saving techniques.
Jinling naturally wanted to take precautions against such a thing.
Bo Yikao was startled by Jinling's chilling aura, but the aura disappeared when Jinling turned around.
Bo Yikao quickly recovered, and a bitter smile appeared on his face as he said, "Senior is joking."
"It was the tyrannical King Zhou and the wicked Daji who ruined Yikao. What does that have to do with you, senior?"
After being struck by Jinling, he might not have realized everything else, but one thing he understood was that Jinling was definitely a powerful cultivator he couldn't afford to offend.
Naturally, she no longer addressed him as "Miss" as before, but instead called him "Senior".
"Don't speak so definitively before the truth of the matter is confirmed," Jinling said casually to Bo Yikao without even turning her head.
"After all, you were the one who caused my death."
"This..."
Bo Yikao watched Jinling's retreating figure, his expression subtly changing.
Could it be...?
"Was it you who controlled my Xiqi white ape to assassinate King Zhou?" Bo Yikao said, his face turning grim.
Even he could understand what kind of situation it would be for Xiqi if his assassination attempt on King Zhou Xiqi confirmed.
It might even provoke a war between the two countries. In that case, countless lives will be lost and corpses will litter the fields, and all of that will be the fault of Bo Yikao.
If that's really the case.
Even knowing his own weakness, Bo Yikao would still rush forward without hesitation to fight to the death.
"No, that's not it," Jinling said casually.
Hearing Jinling say this, although he didn't know if it was true or not, Bo Yikao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then...
"How could I possibly use such despicable methods to kill someone?"
As Jinling spoke, she turned around and glanced at Bo Yikao again, her eyes full of disdain, as if Bo Yikao thought it was something she had done that was extremely disgusting.
But...
This is Bo Yikao's opinion, but in reality...
Jinling, who still despises Bo Yikao, has yet to realize that she is the true mastermind behind this grand scheme.
After Bo Yikao a disdainful and helpless look, Jinling turned around and casually spoke.
"I used my great Divine Ability to sever your Karmic Luck and then killed you."
Jinling's words immediately made Bo Yikao, who had just relaxed a little, stiffen up, staring blankly at Jinling's back.
Karmic Luck.
Although it is extremely mysterious to cultivators, any cultivator, or even an ordinary person, would probably know about the effects of Karmic Luck.
"Senior... what do you mean?!"
Despite being in his Primordial Spirit state, Bo Yikao felt his mouth was dry and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"In other words, with the protection of good Karmic Luck, you might have survived the assassination attempt orchestrated by King Zhou himself."
"But I intervened and severed your Karmic Luck, and as a result you..."
Jinling didn't say anything more about Bo Yikao's feelings, after all, Bo Yikao knew very well what she looked like now!
But...
Bo Yikao stared wide-eyed at Jinling in disbelief.
What did he just hear?
Blessed by Karmic Luck?
That's not it!
Was the assassination attempt on the king orchestrated by King Zhou himself?
Bo Yikao stood there dumbfounded.
It wasn't that Bo Yikao was naive or easily swayed by others, and therefore simply believed Jinling's words.
What Jinling said was not without reason.
Although Bo Yikao was somewhat slow-witted, he was not stupid.
I hadn't thought about it that way before, but now I'm carefully recalling the scene in the Star-Picking Tower.
Indeed.
King Zhou was definitely the first among everyone present to react.
Originally, this could have been explained by the fact that King Zhou was not weak in cultivation and was extremely vigilant as an emperor.
But now...
The more Bo Yikao thought about it, the more convinced he became that the truth was exactly what Jinling had said: the assassination attempt on the king by the white ape was orchestrated by King Zhou himself.
After all, even he, who often played with the white ape, was immersed in the white ape's celestial music, so why did King Zhou wake up so quickly?
Moreover, that decisive punch killed the white ape.
Afterwards, he showed no reaction to his accusations of injustice, and didn't even question Daji.
If we replace the culprit who drove the white ape with King Zhou, then everything makes perfect sense.
Can...
Why?
His entire Xiqi family were loyal and virtuous, serving as subjects of the Yin Shang dynasty for nine consecutive generations.
Why did King Zhou frame him?
Jinling, who had her back to Bo Yikao, seemed to hear Bo Yikao's thoughts and then spoke softly.
"Yes! A family of loyal and virtuous officials! Wasn't Shang Tang also a family of loyal and virtuous officials before he destroyed Xia?"
Upon hearing Jinling's voice, Bo Yikao froze.
Although a long time has passed, there are still records of Shang Tang's conquest of Xia in the Primordial World. No, it's not just a matter of records.
Among the Human Race, cultivators who have survived from that era to the present are by no means particularly rare.
Bo Yikao.
But Jinling's eerie voice continued to drift in.
"Of course, King Zhou originally didn't intend to kill you, just like your father, the Marquis of Earl of the West. He only intended to imprison you, but..."
"Who told you to do that kind of thing with Daji last night!"
Jinling said very casually.
Upon hearing what Jinling said, Bo Yikao was immediately taken aback.
Everyone here is an adult, so he naturally understands what Jinling is saying.
Can...
He clearly didn't do anything! He even righteously rejected Daji's 'seduction'.
"Senior, I have no connection with that demon queen, we did nothing!" Bo Yikao said firmly.
Even someone unaware of the truth would likely believe Bo Yikao upon hearing his words, let alone Jinling, who knows the truth.
Only...
"That's not important." Jinling casually waved her hand with her back to Bo Yikao.
"The important thing is you. Bo Yikao was 'seduced' by Daji, the beloved concubine of King Zhou, in the music room."
So... you have to die!
Jinling responded just as decisively.
"But this..."
Before Bo Yikao could say anything, Jinling interrupted him.
"There's nothing to it, this is the reason you should die. Compared to you, the son of a traitor, King Zhou clearly trusts his beloved concubine more."
Bo Yikao fell silent.
He... had nothing to say.
As mentioned before, although Bo Yikao was a bit slow-witted, he was not stupid.
Jinling only said that, but he roughly guessed the whole cause and effect.
Unable to help it, Bo Yikao out a bitter laugh.
He then realized just how foolish he had been to personally come to Chaoge City.
Only...
That response was indeed too slow.
After standing there in a daze for a while, Bo Yikao gradually regained his composure, and the expression on his face seemed to have been elevated compared to before.
"Indeed, I am not a qualified ruler... It's better that I'm dead. I hope my brother can bring our father back to the country, and I hope Xiqi will prosper under Fafa."
Bo Yikao couldn't help but sigh.
All her previous worries vanished at this moment, and she looked much more relaxed.
"Senior, why did you expend so much Law Power to affect Yikao's Yikao Karmic Luck, and then save his soul?"
Bo Yikao looked at Jinling and asked softly.
"Save you... no, I didn't save you!"
Jinling repeated herself once more, turning to look at Bo Yikao again, her face expressionless.
"The reason your soul is here is not because I want to save you, but simply because... your punishment is not yet over!"
After Jinling finished speaking, Bo Yikao was stunned once again, completely bewildered.
But at this moment, Jinling turned around and continued to focus on the battlefield below.
In the few breaths that Jinling and Bo Yikao were talking, the army of the Yin Shang Dynasty finally completed its assembly.
They completely surrounded True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person.
At the same time, above the vast Chaoge City, an incomparably profound and complex array diagram enveloped the entire Chaoge.
The true essence of the Chaoge Dynasty!
It's here!
