Capítulo 1125: Chapter 1095: The Temple Master Truly Accomplishes the Impossible
With all the scheming and intrigue, even if Qin Liuxi is skilled, she wouldn’t bother to involve herself excessively. As the saying goes, with the position comes responsibility. If she does everything herself, then what’s the point of having allies?
She put together a motley crew to prepare to take over a mess that was about to fall apart. They know better than her how to revive a crumbling situation, while she should just focus on what she’s good at, like monster hunting.
So this crew was assembled, and how to insert people into it and how to struggle within it should be left to Lin Xiang and the others. What would she gain by meddling?
As Qin Liuxi manipulated the earlier divination, her hand suddenly paused, and she looked up saying, “The divination has changed.”
Empress Mu’s heart skipped a beat: “What does that mean?”
“Doctor Lin can’t survive.”
Empress Mu’s face suddenly darkened, realizing how alert the person behind this was. She looked at the Yin Evil Needle and hesitated: “I heard that Taoism has the Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies, and backlash theories. Is it because this needle left my body, breaking the spell, thus causing his death due to backlash?”
Qin Liuxi shook her head, saying, “The Yin Evil Needle being inserted into your brain isn’t considered as casting a spell, it’s just inserting an external object imbued with yin evil energy into your head. This falls under the category of an open scheme, blatant in nature, you just weren’t aware of it. So even if it came out of your head, the needle remains a needle, and the evil energy stays intact; it’s unbroken, and hence no backlash.”
Madam Mu said, “Then doesn’t that mean he can’t be punished?”
“Not necessarily, the Yin Evil Needle is refined and nurtured artificially, it is a sinister magic artifact. As long as it’s broken, the adversary will suffer some backlash, but for merely a small Yin Evil Needle, even the backlash isn’t highly lethal.”
Empress Mu trembled slightly, while to Qin Liuxi it might just be a small Yin Evil Needle, but to herself, it could control life and death.
“If Doctor Lin died, does it prove that this needle wasn’t crafted by him?” Empress Mu frowned, “But you just said it was him who inserted it into my head.”
“He was likely ordered by someone behind him.” Qin Liuxi formed hand gestures for a mantra and recited a spell, drawing a talisman in the air and casting it onto the needle.
The Yin Evil Needle rose from the handkerchief as if pushed by invisible energy and started spinning slowly.
Empress Mu and the others watched intently, unable to believe their eyes.
Madam Mu: Amitabha Buddha, forgive my sins, from today onward, I will convert to the Dao!
At the same moment, a Daoist wearing a white robe embroidered with cloud patterns, sitting in meditation, swiftly performing hand seals. Several lanterns burned before him, with lamp oil emitting a faint fragrance, the flames flickering slightly.
Beside him lay a gold-red horsetail whisk wrapped around with Emperor Coins, a Purple Gold Eight Diagrams Mirror, and several yellow talismans.
However, the Daoist didn’t look pleased but cursed under his breath: “Damn it, I need to see who keeps ruining my plans over and over! Tracking me, how dare you!”
The needle was actually extracted from the Empress’s head, and now they still attempt to trace him through it?
Such audacity!
He urgently recited spells as the Purple Gold Eight Diagrams Mirror floated into the air before him. He cast several skill techniques onto the mirror surface, as if tossing a stone into water, ripples spread across the once calm mirror surface, slightly distorted.
The Daoist formed hand seals at his chest, eyes fixed on the mirror surface, revealing yourself, little brat!
Qin Liuxi raised her eyebrows, engaging in a confrontation with her from afar, this person has some capabilities.
Want to see her?
Coincidentally, she also wants to see what kind of ghost he is!
Qin Liuxi changed skill techniques, not resisting, directly following the cause-effect resentful energy through the Yin Evil Needle to enter the opponent’s mirror array.
A round baby face.
The opponent also looked at her face with some astonishment: “So it’s a woman? Who are you, divine being?”
“I’m your ancestor!” Qin Liuxi waved her hand, directly piercing the Yin Evil Needle into the mirror array, and the needle jabbed straight towards the baby face.
Fool, don’t you know villains die from talking too much?
Baby face’s pupils shrank, transferring an object through space.
He hurriedly dodged, but it was too late.
Crack.
The needle pierced through the mirror surface with a bang, shattering the Purple Gold Mirror, the needle flew directly at his face.
Baby face spat out a mouthful of blood, why was his Purple Gold Mirror so fragile?
He grasped the copper coin sword beside him, striking away the approaching Yin Evil Needle, which fell to the ground, igniting into flames.
Baby face suddenly felt an intense heat at his chest, spitting out another mouthful of blood, staring wide-eyed at the flames, pupils trembling.
His hand kept trembling.
The backlash from a mere Yin Evil Needle should not have high lethality, but this needle was enveloped in fire, as if it burned his soul while blazing.
This female Daoist is tough!
What exactly is she?
Shocked, baby face glanced at the Purple Gold Mirror lying shattered on the ground, heart aching tremendously, he suffered great losses!
Shengjing indeed doesn’t favor him!
Baby face wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, tremblingly picked up the Purple Gold Mirror, but couldn’t help recalling that indifferent face, eyes dark ominous.
It was merely a remote confrontation. He found himself powerless against this female Daoist, but if it were face-to-face?
Would it be a one-hit kill?
She could even transfer an object across space, forming tangible lethal force, judging by her age, she should only be in early twenties, right?
But now is not the time to fret over this, she saw him, and likewise, she did. Since she could extract the needle, she must be the help summoned by the Empress.
Finished, he’s going to have his image displayed on the city gate walls.
Baby face swallowed an elixir pill and immediately called for help.
This venture indeed bodes ill.
At the same time, Qin Liuxi swiftly drew a portrait and handed it to Empress Mu, saying, “This is the person, find him, he should be in Shengjing!”
Empress Mu took it, glanced at it: “So young.”
“A cultivator, if reaching a certain level of cultivation, can preserve youthful looks.”
Empress Mu: “…”
Envious.
She handed the portrait to Cuizhu who returned, instructing her to search the entire city, the reason—causing harm in the Empress Chamber is enough!
Empress Mu dismissed Madam Mu, and praised Qin Liuxi: “Temple master truly accomplishes what others cannot.”
“You overpraise me, it’s merely having specialization, just as I mentioned earlier, I’m not skilled in scheming, but fighting, I’m quite adept at!” Qin Liuxi smiled faintly, “Since I come to see the Empress, the Empress must already know the reason, I wonder if she truly intends to board the ship, considering Qi Qian’s identity isn’t what the Empress fancies. He’s technically the illegitimate child brought by your rival in love. Supporting his position really is quite irritating. The Empress should think it through since this ship doesn’t allow anyone to drag their feet from behind.”
If everything is ready and she backstabs at the last moment, the ship will sink!
Empress Mu laughed, saying, “Temple master doesn’t truly think I harbor romantic feelings for the Saint and remain loyal to him, do you?”
Such a specimen, does he even qualify?
