Chapter 214: The Headmaster of the Voodoo Sect
r Zone. I've long heard of your esteemed name, and to meet you today is truly a blessing." Mu Tiejun bowed slightly."People in the Yun Cheng battleground"The judge swept his gaze over the crowd of men..."On behalf of the Heavenly Yin Nation, I apologize to General Ling!" The man with a bushy beard bowed again.
"Please rest assured, Ling Shuai, we will definitely give you an explanation for this!"
"Is that so" Ling Hao spoke in a calm tone: "What kind of explanation are you planning to give me"
"Ling Shuai, this matter should be the work of the Wudou Sect. The National Master has sent someone to summon their sect master to the capital." The man with a bushy beard responded.
"If convenient, Ling Shuai, please grace our capital with your presence. The sovereign wishes to personally apologize to you!"
"The Voodoo Sect" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes!" the bearded man muttered, taking a deep breath before responding.
"Well then, let's go meet them!" Ling Hao smiled faintly and then waved his hand to the three thousand Blood Shadow Army soldiers: "All stand here in place!"
"Yes, sir! We obey your orders!" Three thousand soldiers shouted in unison.
After ten minutes, Ling Hao and his five companions boarded a luxury limousine provided by the Heavenly Yin Kingdom and headed towards the capital.
The entire country of Tianyin, when added together, was only the size of a slap. In less than three hours, a special car drove into the city gate of the capital.
A wide road leads straight to the Heavenly Palace of the Tian Yin Kingdom. Along the way, red carpets are laid out, and banners flutter in the wind.
On both sides of the road, every three steps there was a guard post and every five steps a sentinel. Fully armed soldiers saluted one after another. Hundreds of thousands of people held flowers and cheered.
Standard diplomatic protocol!
In a moment, a special car drove into the imperial palace gates and entered the magnificent, opulent palace complex. It finally stopped about 100 meters from the main hall.
Then, led by the walrus, they entered the main hall.
Inside the grand hall, a man of about sixty sat on the golden throne. He was the sovereign of Tianyin Nation, Hang Ting.
Another ten high-ranking leaders of the Heavenly Yin Nation stood in the center of the hall, each with a solemn expression, their eyes toward Ling Hao couldn't help but flash a trace of fear.
"With the great arrival of Marshal Ling, I am deeply inadequate in my welcome and sincerely hope for your forgiveness!" Hang Ting walked down from the golden throne chair, his voice very humble.
"Your Majesty, it's good to see you again!" Ling Hao spoke softly.
More than a year ago, the two had met once, so they were not strangers.
"Ling Shuai, please take a seat!"
Hong Ting made a gesture of invitation and then led Ling Hao to two golden chairs on the right side. The four Zhuque stood behind the two.
"Ling Shuai, first of all, I want to apologize to you. I'm really sorry that this happened!" Han Ting looked at Ling Hao and spoke.
"Your Majesty, let's cut to the chase. I'm not here to reminisce with you!" Ling Hao raised a teacup and took a sip.
The national tea of the Heavenly Yin Country, he had already tasted it last time, and it was very good.
“Come here, announce to the head of the Wudou Sect, Wu Liao!” Hang Ting took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
"Xuān, Wù Dú Zōng's Sect Master Wū Liào enters the hall!" A loud voice echoed throughout the hall.
Two minutes later, a man in his fifties walked in, escorted by two soldiers. He was lean and sharp-eyed, with an air of coldness about him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
A middle-aged man walked to the center of the hall, first glanced at Ling Hao and then turned to Han Ting, bowing deeply.
In the Kingdom of Heaven, there was no bowing ceremony. Both rulers and subjects paid respects to each other with a bow.
"Wu Liao, do you know your crimes" Hang Ting spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, please forgive this humble subject for my dullness. I am unsure what Your Majesty refers to" Wu Liao stammered after a slight pause.
He received an imperial summons a few hours ago, ordering him to enter the palace immediately as the emperor had important matters to discuss with him.
After receiving the order, he had already guessed what it meant.
He has been unable to contact the people he sent to Daxia Kingdom since last night. Knowing that they are most likely already in grave danger, and now that the National Sovereign has summoned him, there is no doubt that it is about this matter.
However, with something on his mind, he did not panic nor did he have any intention of running away. He calmly followed the Imperial Guard back to the capital.
When he first entered the hall and saw Ling Hao and several other people from Daxia Kingdom, his suspicions were confirmed. However, he remained calm and composed.
This is the Heavenly Gloom Kingdom's palace, they only have five people, what kind of waves can they possibly make
"You're still pretending to be crazy!" Han Ting's voice turned cold. "Dare you say that those scoundrels who went to Dongzhou in Daxia Kingdom to assassinate Ling Shuai weren't your people from the Wudou Sect"
"Ah" Wu Liao feigned surprise. "Your Majesty, you can't joke about this! This is a capital offense!"
"I swear to the national sovereign, the Wudou Sect absolutely did not do this. Over the past month, all disciples of the Wudou Sect have been practicing within the sect, preparing for next month's sect martial arts competition..."
"Damn you! Even at the brink of death, you still dare to quibble!" Hanting coldly interrupted him, a kingly aura emanating from his body.
After a brief pause, he continued, “Should I remind you that Ling Shuai was poisoned by the Yin Withering Flower”
"You come tell me, in all of Tianyin Nation, who besides your Wuzhu Sect has the skill to refine the highly poisonous Eroding Shadow Flower into a colorless and odorless poison"
"Your Majesty, if this alone is enough to conclude that this matter was done by our Wuzhi sect, then it's too rash a judgment, and it also elevates my Wuzhi Sect too much!" Wu Liao frowned slightly.
"Although our Coven is skilled in the art of poison-making, a rare toxin like the Devouring Bloom, I've only ever heard tales of it. I've never laid eyes on it, let alone attempted to concoct its poison!"
“Among the people of the celestial realm, there are countless strange and gifted individuals. It's entirely possible that some extraordinary masters who have not yet emerged possess the ability to refine the Yin-Devouring Flower!”
"You're quite the debater, aren't you!" At this moment, Xuan Pang spoke in a calm voice.
"However, don't you know that the aura around you has already betrayed you"
Although, after going through seventy-seven forty-nine processes, the蝕幽花 can refine a colorless and odorless 蝕幽花 poison.
But the Ethereal Bloom itself possessed a very peculiar scent. And anyone who came into contact with it would carry that faint aroma on them for a month.
"From the moment you stepped into the hall, I smelled that scent on you, and now you tell us you've never touched a Whispering Bloom!"
"You're lying!" A strange glint flashed in Wu Liao's eyes.
He clearly didn't expect there to be experts in the audience. Not only did they know that the Ethereal Flower had a unique flavor, but they were also familiar with all seventy-seven forty-nine steps of the process.
I was totally wrong!
After a slight pause, she took a deep breath and continued speaking in a low voice.
"What are you, a little kid who hasn't even grown hair yet, talking nonsense here!"
"Who told you that the Ectoplasmic Bloom has a unique flavor It's utterly ridiculous! You probably don't even know what an Ectoplasmic Bloom is, do you"
"Well, let me introduce who he is!" Ling Hao's voice sounded faintly.
He, is the chief consultant of my Blood Shadow Legion's medical unit, and at the same time, he is one of the two great prodigies in Xia Kingdom's Xuanmen for hundreds of years!
Although the Yin-Eroding Flower is a highly poisonous substance, it is also a kind of medicinal herb. Herbs from the Xuanmen are always stocked!
"Now, tell me, does he know what a蝕幽flower is"ve you gotten the invitation" Ling Hao lifted his teacup and took a sip."Hm!" Shen Le picked up four invitation cards from the large table and placed them on the tea table. Then, she picked up the iPa...
