The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 181 Conflicts intensify

There is no real night in the Sixth Heaven, and the Scarlet Sun Palace is the most dazzling pearl in the entire Sun Heaven.

The Red Sun Palace is far away from the star-filled Second Constellation Sky, and it is difficult to be covered by the tranquility of the night sky; it is far away from the Nine Moon Sky below, and is not affected by the darkness of the night. In addition, it is brightly shining, so this place is very unfriendly to those who hide at night.

On the other hand, it is precisely because it is difficult to hide that no outsider dares to disturb it. For thousands of years, the guards have long been lax. The Sun Emperor has a decent reputation in the heavens, but he is a straight-laced and boring person. No god thinks that the Red Sun Palace is a place for leisure and entertainment, and those who don't want to come here are even better.

Wu Xun was an unusual exception.

He came here for the mission assigned by his master, to find out the owner of the box and the key.

However, he searched the side halls around this place for a whole day and had no clue. Wu Xun knew that the material of the box was very special, and the totem pointed to this place. Every object in Riluntian had such a logo printed on it.

The logo is a sun emblem, proving that the item was produced in the Sun Wheel Heaven. This logo does not have much reference value. Everything is labeled, and now it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I agreed on a time with Dafeng and the others. No matter whether there is a result or not, I must go back on time. Not going back means something has happened. They are coming to my house, so it is best not to make a big fuss at this time.

At this time, a gorgeous ceremonial guard appeared out of thin air on the palace road, and a huge red-gold chariot slowly appeared from the void. The girl, wearing a luxurious feathered dress outlined with gold threads, took a nap on the soft couch in the chariot.

Wu Xun hid in the corner, observing everything.

He looked up at the sky and found that it was covered with red clouds. The colorful afterglow dyed the sky into various kinds of fabrics woven by fairies. Subtle changes were taking place every moment, which was truly exquisite.

This was his first time seeing such a beautiful scenery. If he were to come here for sightseeing, he would definitely enjoy it. However, he had a mission to complete and had no time to pay attention to the beautiful scenery.

At this time, it should be the time for duty at the Chi Ri Palace. The direction from which the chariot appeared should be the direction from which it returned from the land of Yu Yuan.

The chariot in front of him should be the sun-carrying chariot. Wu Xun had investigated the daily schedule of the Red Sun Palace. Every day, at least one of the Xi clan disciples would call the three-legged golden crow. The golden crow would drive to the east Yanggu to pick up the sun and go around the four realms. The whole journey took about six hours. Finally, the sun was sent to Yuyuan, and the golden crow flew back to the Fusang sacred tree. The Xi clan disciples then returned to the Red Sun Palace.

He withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at the girl under the canopy.

The girl woke up, jumped off the carriage, and asked everyone to send the carriage back and disperse.

According to Wu Xun's investigation, he learned that the person who recently sent the sun was not Xi Jun, but his sister Xi Yan.

Wu Xun saw that she was holding a box in her hand, so he opened his divine eyes and took a closer look in the dark.

Sure enough, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

As expected, the owner of the same box was Xi Yan, the younger sister of the Sun Emperor.

The color and material match, so the result should be correct. Although there is an extra chain on it, it is essentially the same model.

Wu Xun: “…”

It was so difficult right from the start. Without the Lord by his side, his luck was as bad as when he was in the demon clan.

Xi Yan noticed something and turned around to look around. Wu Xun quickly hid his position. Xi Yan seemed a little alert. She stayed here for a moment before walking towards the main hall.

Xi Yan turned the box into a cross-body bag. She carried the box on her back, humming a little tune.

Wu Xun flashed on the road ahead and decided to investigate head-on. He continued to be a divine servant sweeping the floor, and collided head-on with Xi Yan at the corner.

"Princess Xi Yan, I'm sorry! I was blind and didn't see Your Highness coming. I, I didn't mean it!" Wu Xun pretended to dirty the box she was carrying and hurriedly apologized with the exclusive etiquette of the Chi Ri Palace.

Xi Yan lowered his head and saw a few spots of ink on the outside of the box. It was the inkstone that Wu Xun had temporarily conjured up, and a few drops of ink had spilled on it.

Wu Xun continued to pretend to use magic to clean up but failed. Xi Yan did not reprimand him, but used magic to clean up the mess himself.

"Okay, isn't it clean now?" Xi Yan raised his head and held up the box for Wu Xun to see. Wu Xun was very tall, and the substitute he found was also tall.

Previously, she had been lowering her head, so her expression could not be seen clearly. Now, seeing her smiling face, Wu Xun felt relieved both on his face and in his heart.

On the surface, he seemed to be continuing to act, but in his heart, he was deeply moved.

I thought that the sister of such a troublesome emperor was also a troublesome person. He made a mistake while pretending to be a waiter, which was not without the possibility of life and death crisis and exposure. But this princess did not care, but solved the problem herself.

"Thank you so much, Princess Xi Yan, for not blaming me! Isn't this box very important to Your Highness? I am really blind, please punish me!"

"Isn't it already resolved? What's with that expression on your face? Are you... crying?" Xi Yan's expression changed from smiling to gradually becoming stunned.

She didn't say anything, so why was the god servant opposite her tearful?

Huh? Did she say something too harsh?

"This box of mine is quite old. I carry it with me to hold small items. It is at least several hundred years old. It is not a rare item. It's okay!" Xi Yan kindly comforted.

"But it looks quite new, and the style seems very unique..." Wu Xun was also speechless.

He really didn't want to cry!

But I just smelled the incense again on this road, and my goal was about to be achieved, so I had to endure it even if it meant death.

"That's because I took good care of it! You have good taste, so I'll say a few more words to you. My box is unique in the world, and there is only one like it!"

Xi Yan got to the point, "Someone asked me before how I maintain my looks. Actually, I have two. I take turns carrying one while the other rests. They always look new."

Another fantasy of Wu Xun was shattered. Now it was confirmed that the owner of the box was her. Although the one in the mortal world did not have a chain, the chain just now was also conjured by her magic. The key point was the box, which was exactly the same.

"Then Your Highness, would you like to send this one to be cleaned and carry another one instead?"

"You reminded me. I need to go to Liyang Palace to get another box."

"I'll go with Your Highness!" Wu Xun suggested.

"But you should be on duty now. You must be very tired after today. I'll go by myself instead of delaying your going home to rest." Xi Yan thought for a moment and replied.

"Not tired! If Your Highness doesn't agree to let me accompany you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat well tonight... I..." As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears again.

This time he was not troubled by the incense. There was a special fragrance around Princess Xi Yan, as soft as the sunset glow, which made Wu Xun no longer troubled by the "anti-monster" incense.

Xi Yan looked at the man who was so big but looked aggrieved. He softened his heart and moved closer. He patted his shoulder and said, "You can go with me, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

"What are the conditions? Your Highness, just tell me!" Wu Xun rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Don't cry or blame yourself. This is the order of this princess, you have to follow me with a smile!" Xi Yan raised his chin, seeming quite proud.

What Wu Xun didn't know was that Xi Yan was really hoping to have someone to talk to her for a few more words.

Now, her brother Xijun intends to train her and let her take over the official duty of transporting the sun. However, she leaves early and comes back late, and almost everyone in the palace is off duty and goes home, so there is no one to talk to her.

Needless to say, as the elder brother of the Sun Emperor, he is a taciturn person who doesn't like to talk. He used to like to talk to others, but later, as if he was stimulated for some reason, he became calm and quiet.

The Red Sun Palace appears to be warm and sparkling, but in fact it is extremely deserted.

Although the journey was not long, Xi Yan talked a lot to Wu Xun, all of which were topics that she usually kept in her heart but had no particular focus. After hearing this, Wu Xun did feel a little sympathetic towards her.

Finally, the two arrived at Liyang Palace, where Xi Yan kept his things. On weekdays, broken things would be sent there, and someone would take them to be repaired, and then put them back. The process was very orderly.

"It's strange. I clearly put it here. It's been many days. It should have been well maintained. How could it be gone?" Xi Yan searched left and right but couldn't find it. She looked confused and went to the side hall the next moment.

"The craftsmen who make things live here, why is there no one here?" She walked out of the side hall and said to Wu Xun.

"The person you are talking about...is she?"

Wu Xun walked into the yard and came to a dry well. Looking down, he found a fresh corpse underneath.

……

"So, based on the one-sided statement of the princess, you concluded that the repairman's death had nothing to do with her? The lost box also had nothing to do with her?"

The strong wind interrupted the review, and she began to question Wu Xun's judgment.

Wu Xun explained: "I was the first to find the body of the princess I was targeting while hiding my identity. I brought the body up for inspection and found that she had just died. She had been in my sight since she returned to the Red Sun Palace, so I had no time to kill her."

"How dare you conclude that she has no helper? Two people can help you to act out this drama. Even if the palace is deserted, Xijun's help is enough." Dafeng still didn't believe it.

"Xi Jun was not involved in this matter at all. If he had taken action, it would be a question whether I could come back. His current status is not suitable for doing such a thing. Isn't he the one who cares about face the most?"

"Ha... you are getting weaker and weaker now. You are not even his opponent? Moreover, why can't Xijun act or intervene? How much is your status and face worth? I have heard you say so much, but you have always been biased towards that princess." Dafeng said bluntly, "Wu Xun, you must always remember your status."

"How can I be biased? I just made a judgment based on my intuition. The box was stolen by someone else, the murderer. It was someone else. Xi Yan was not involved. This is a statement of fact."

Hun Dun was caught in the middle of the argument between the two, and it was hard to describe. He looked at Fu Zhu, wanting her to say something, but Fu Zhu's mind was not here, and she had been in a trance for a long time.

"Tell me the truth, have you become soft-hearted?" Dafeng stood up. "If I remember correctly, the Lord's order was for us to kill the owner of the box, and now he has found it! You act like this, it means you don't want to kill Xi Yan at all, so you told us this, avoiding the important point. What else are you hiding?"

Wu Xun also stood up: "Da Feng, if you insist on saying so, I have nothing to explain. I am upright and I am not afraid of my own shadow! Heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can bear witness to my loyalty to Your Majesty. I am not afraid of you coming to test it!"

"You don't want to explain because you are afraid that you will make more mistakes if you say too much? If you are reluctant to kill me, I will do it and you don't need to show up." As Dafeng stood up and was about to leave, he was intercepted by Wu Xun the next moment.

"Are you crazy? We don't have sufficient evidence yet. You will only make things worse by doing this. Even if she dies with her identity, the feud between Riluntian and us will be over!"

"I think you are crazy. The evidence is irrefutable! Not only are you crazy, you are also blind and you are lying with open eyes!" Da Feng retorted coldly, "When have we ever been afraid of offending others? As long as our master is alive, no one can attack Chen Zhongtian! You have lost your character and courage, Wu Xun."

Wu Xun slapped the table, and the table made of spiritual stone broke into several pieces in an instant.

"Do you think that you have the best relationship with Your Excellency and that you are the boss among us and that we have to listen to you in everything? Does your judgment have to be correct? If so, why did you let that man surnamed An escape?"

"Ha... let him run away? You are being really mean now. I admit that I was not as skilled as him, I failed, and he ran away. But I am sure that An Shengye is the man behind the Seventh Heaven. So what is your conclusion about the Sixth Heaven mission assigned to you?"

Dafeng didn't make too many excuses, she indeed didn't handle it "cleanly".

That day she aimed at An Shengye's neck, but the other party somehow managed to dodge her flying feathers and escaped, without a trace.

Hun Dun tried to interrupt several times, but was blocked by the two people's tense actions. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around in circles.

If there were a dispute between strangers, he would certainly join in quietly and bring out his true nature - confusing right and wrong and sowing discord.

But everyone here is his own people, so he has to keep himself calm and make sure that what he says does not make the situation worse.

"Um, um...you two, can you...oh, don't do it, talk it over! If you have something to say, talk it over!" Chaos dodged the two's movements and spoke with difficulty, "Do you know where Xiao Zhu went?"

The strong wind and the black clouds suddenly stopped moving, and the whole sky became quiet. The stone spring in the yard was dripping water, the sound was very small but could be heard clearly.

"Tick, tick..."

"What did you say?" Dafeng repeated.

"I say, where are Xiaozhu and Fuzhu?" Hun Dun repeated.

Dafeng, Hun Dun and Wu Xun looked around.

I wonder where Fu Zhu is in the sky?
