After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Jiang Xue Ning used twenty bottles of fine wine to successfully bribe Xing Luo, who agreed to help her lure out the high priest.

She didn't ask about the specific method. Perhaps they had their own special way.

In the middle of winter, Jiang Xue Ning led people to climb the highest mountain in the capital and waited for people on the top of the mountain.

"Can't we meet in a restaurant or teahouse? It's freezing cold!"

Xingluo drank his wine and looked up at the starry sky. "He is a high priest who is high above and not in touch with worldly affairs. How can we meet in such a vulgar place?"

Fortunately, Wu Jin and Jiang Li picked up a pile of firewood and lit it. She sat beside the fire and warmed herself up slowly.

The high priest came alone, wearing a moon-white suit with a white dove, the unique symbol of the Sikong family, embroidered on his cuffs. His sleeves fluttered as he came under the starry sky, like a banished celestial being.

Xingluo raised the wine jug in his hand to him, "Xiao Lingzi, come and have a drink."

Unlike the astrologers who lived in seclusion on the ice field, the Sikong family had always been loyal to the emperor of the world and served as the high priest.

Sikong Ling walked over, glanced at him indifferently, sat down beside him, took the wine from his hand and took a sip.

Jiang Xue Ning propped up her chin and said, "You two look very familiar."

"Hehe..." Xingluo laughed twice, "We are both in the same business, and we occasionally communicate and learn from each other, so it's natural that we know each other."

Jiang Xue Ning stared at him without any hesitation. Although this was their first formal meeting, he had invisibly pushed her destiny many times.

Sikong Ling looked up at the starry sky and pointed at the location of the Phoenix Star. "I can't see through this star, nor can I see through the fate of the princess."

She chuckled and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. This is not why I went to see the high priest."

She didn't understand these things, and she didn't want to discuss them with him. Her fate was in her own hands and she had to decide it herself.

"Why did the princess come?"

Before leaving the palace today, he had a fortune-teller told for himself, but couldn't tell whether it would be good or bad, which meant the outcome could turn around at any time.

"I heard that the Shenxian powder that Your Majesty took was donated by the Imperial Observatory."

"The Imperial Observatory is not under my jurisdiction. I only do divination." Sikong Ling said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Wherever there are people, there are struggles, let alone in the palace. Although he is the high priest and has a high status, the people under him will not completely obey his control.

He had advised Helian Xuan about the Immortal Powder, but unfortunately Helian Xuan acted indifferent, so he couldn't say anything more.

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "The high priest has calculated so many times, I wonder if he has calculated his own final outcome."

This is an interesting question, and the air froze for a moment.

Sikong Ling smiled faintly, "There is a price to pay for peeking into the secrets of heaven, so the people of the Sikong family have short lives and bad endings for generations."

From the day he became the high priest, he was naturally prepared to die at any time.

As expected, he has a strong mind and is indifferent to life and death.

Jiang Xue Ning went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit. "I'm meeting with the high priest because I want to ask him for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"If necessary, I would like to borrow the Star-Picking Tower where the high priest lives."

The Star Picking Tower was built in the imperial palace, but it was also independent of the imperial palace. He soon realized the danger and ambition contained in Jiang Xue Ning's seemingly simple words.

He couldn't help but said in a cold voice, "As the Phoenix Star, we should assist the Emperor Star and create a peaceful and prosperous world. I was observing the sky at night in the Star Picking Tower, but I saw that the Phoenix Star was coming with a dangerous momentum and was shrouded in a layer of mist."

“Hahahahahahaha…” Jiang Xue Ning burst into laughter. “Gu Mingyue has already been a fool once, do you think I will be a fool again?”

Sikong Ling, who was not interested in worldly affairs, could see the ambition in the eyes of the woman in front of him through the firelight. He frowned and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you, the princess."

As expected, Jiang Xue Ning said in a cold voice, "The High Priest must help me with this, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

This is a very important part of her game.

Sikong Ling's face turned cold, "The position of high priest only accounts for the fate of the country and the world, and never participates in the struggle for imperial power."

"Oh, you are such a good person who never participates." Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "It's a pity that because of your divination, people have paid the price of blood. This is the cause you planted, and now it's time to bear fruit."

Sikong Ling was silent for a moment, then quickly said calmly, "I'm sorry about what happened to the Gu family back then."

Although he only told the truth and revealed some of the events of the Star Phoenix Star and the Dangerous Emperor Star, by some strange coincidence, this sentence did become the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Gu family.

He said, "My life, if you want it, come and take it."

He could feel that he had been trying to spy on the secrets of heaven too frequently, and his body was suffering the backlash and becoming increasingly weaker.

It was the fate of the Sikong family to not have a good end. To him, it made no difference whether he died from backlash or from Jiang Xue Ning's sword.

Jiang Xue Ning was unmoved and looked at him directly, "If you die, what will happen to the fisherman girl in Zhaixing Tower?"

Sikong Ling, who had been acting calm all this time, changed his expression slightly after hearing this name.

"She is a beggar I adopted. She only does simple chores in Zhaixing Tower. All this has nothing to do with her. Please don't harm the innocent."

"Innocent? There are so many innocent people who died." She chuckled, "Even I am about to enter the palace and become the queen because of the high priest's words of destiny."

In this struggle for imperial power, no one is innocent.

Sikong Ling saw a strong murderous aura on her. Looking deep into her eyes, he saw a desolate place. This was a very dangerous thing.

He sighed and said, "The princess is indeed the new Fengxing destiny. I hope the princess will let go of her obsession and take the people of Xiling as her responsibility."

She lowered her eyes and curled her lips in a cold manner. She had let many people down in her life and owed many debts. But she had a clear conscience towards the people of Xiling.

After seven years of marching in the rain and fighting on the battlefield, all he got in return was the end of his family being confiscated and his clan being exterminated!

This time, no one can try to morally blackmail her, she only lives for revenge!

"I'm very busy, and I believe the high priest is also very busy. So please think it over and give me an answer as soon as possible."

"If the high priest doesn't agree, not only will the fisherman girl die, but I swear to kill all the Sikong family members no matter where they are!"

She has never been a good person. Being soft on others is being cruel to herself.

She touched the sword in her hand and said word by word, "You know, I will definitely do it!"

Sikong Ling certainly knew that she could do it. This was a Phoenix Star that only appeared once in a thousand years. It could overwhelm the Emperor Star and it was mainly for killing.

How could a small Sikong family be a match?

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xingluo coughed lightly, looked at her and said, "This is a bit too cruel."

Sikong Ling looked up at the starry sky. For countless nights, he had looked up at the starry sky alone in the Zhaixing Tower.

Although he can see the secrets of heaven, he cannot change his fate. Even as a human being, he still cannot escape from the seven emotions and six desires.

"I promise you, I hope the princess will let Yu'er and the Sikong family go."

He will bear the entire cause and effect of the blood debt, and it ends here.
