Chapter 232: Lake of Resentment

Ji Hua smiled and waved his hands, "No, I've done it once, and the oath of heaven and earth is broken. I won't do it to you again."

"You'd better tell the truth this time."

Ji Hua didn't mind her anxious tone, and seemed to like it. "I can swear to heaven and earth that I will never lie!"

"Okay, then let's make another oath to heaven and earth. This time, the oath must include additional content. You and your people must not attack me, and you must not have the slightest intention to kill me and Nanhai."

"I am not the only one who can decide the territorial disputes between the major seas. However, I, Ji Hua, am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. I will repay gratitude with gratitude. I can swear to heaven and earth that the entire North Sea will treat you as a guest of honor and must not have the slightest intention to kill you, otherwise you will be reduced to ashes. How do you do that?"

Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, not expecting to swear such a big oath, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The oaths of heaven and earth are scattered into the void.

Ji Hua, "Okay, don't be angry, little girl. I can give you another gift."

"Don't come here to kill me." Sang Luo smiled wryly.

"Haha, little girl, you are really funny. I am not kidding. What do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you."

Sang Luo thought about it seriously, "The demon you are trading with is the First Demon Envoy, right? Tell me everything you know about him."

That person wanted her life, so he would take action once, and he would definitely take action a second time.

Is there anything in this world more important than her life?

She wants to eradicate the problem completely.

Ji Hua threw her a photo stone and said, "This is the content of the last discussion between me and the two demons. You can take a look."

"Two?" Sang Luo took the image stone and did not check it immediately. He handed it to Lou Xianyue, "The last time I fought against the First Demon Envoy, his appearance was a disguise."

Ji Hua, "When you swear to heaven and earth, you must show your true face, otherwise it will not count."

Lou Xianyue checked the image stone and found nothing wrong. "Luo'er, it's real. There are no runes or spells on it."

"Okay, this is my apology."

"Little girl, please come to Beihai more often in the future."

"..."

Ji Hua left.

Sang Luo injected a trace of power into the photo stone, and the surrounding scene changed instantly. The South Sea Palace turned into the North Sea Palace, and the characters in the image appeared before his eyes, as if he was traveling back in time.

The photo stone can truly record a spatial image and cannot be faked.

She saw the true appearance of the first demon envoy and the other demon envoy.

After a long time, the shadow disappeared.

Sang Luo said to Lou Xianyue, "I have to go back."

"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on the North Sea and tell you as soon as there's any situation."

Phoenix Palace, dungeon.

Le Xia woke up from her coma. She held her head and realized that the poison in her body had been completely eliminated.

There was a sound of unlocking the door. She looked up and saw Sang Luo coming in. A hint of discomfort flashed across her face. "You cured my poison?"

Sang Luo nodded and smiled, "Saving my life is a big deal. Have you figured out how to repay me?"

"Thank you, thank you. I really shouldn't have treated you like that before. You are a very good female. No wonder His Majesty likes you. I was short-sighted before and judged you by my own standards. I apologize to you, you female. I don't expect your forgiveness..."

"You don't need to apologize or thank you. I prefer to hear honest words." Sang Luo took out a photo stone and placed it on the table. "I came here to ask you a few questions."

"...Excuse me, noble lady." "What do you think of Yan Jie, the current leader of the Qingluan tribe?"

"I hate him!" Her face twisted.

"Huh? Why?"

"Hundreds of years ago, after my father mysteriously disappeared, Yan Jie took over. He had always been at odds with my father, and I suspect he is the real murderer who killed my father!"

"He told others that he adopted me as his daughter, but he had a crush on me and forced me to mate before I reached adulthood..." Le Xia covered her chest and wanted to vomit. She slowly shrank into a corner, her body trembling, tears sliding down her pale face. "I originally had a child, but that child didn't deserve to be born! I took medicine to get rid of the child, but I completely lost my ability to have children!"

"All this was caused by Yan Jie!"

"Yan Jie has hidden ambitions. He wants to take over the Central Region, so he wants to dethrone Fei Yuan, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, and make the Phoenix Clan extinct!"

"I loved Fei Yuan too much back then. I didn't want other females to get pregnant with his offspring, so I was bewildered and agreed to let Yan Jie poison him. But I didn't know that the poison would damage his body. I just thought that the poison would make him infertile."

Le Xia grabbed Sang Luo's hand and said, "Please help me kill Yan Jie!"

"As long as you can kill him, I will tell you a secret."

Sang Luo, "Fei Yuan will not let Yan Jie go, what is the secret?"

Le Xia showed fear on her face. "I saw him once by chance. His body was rotting and smelled like a corpse. Later, I secretly investigated and found that his body would slowly rot every year. He would go to the Resentful Lake to stay for a few days, and his body would recover after he came back."

She said, "In three days he will set out for the Lake of Resentment. You can set a trap in advance and capture him!"

Sang Luo nodded and asked a few more questions, then left and returned to the palace with the photo stone.

Fei Yuan hasn't come back yet.

She took out a few spiritual fruits from the space, ate them, felt sleepy, and slowly fell asleep.

I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when the thief kissed me hard on the face. One kiss was not enough, so he kissed me several times!
Sang Luo was so angry that she put the lid over her head, but he pulled it away again. He put his big hands around her waist and held her in his arms. Sang Luo couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore. She looked at the beautiful and handsome face that was magnified in front of her and muttered, "Your Majesty always likes to disturb people's sweet dreams."

"What good dream? You dreamed of me." Fei Yuan pinched her face, "This emperor raised you well, your face is a little rounder."

"How did things go?" Sang Luo saw that he had lost some weight, and thought he must have been very tired during this period.

"The old leader of the Qingluan tribe stepped down and supported a new leader." He said briefly.

"It's His Majesty's man."

"Ah."

"Where is the old patriarch?"

"Dead long ago."

"Didn't he come to the palace to meet the emperor before..." She widened her eyes.

"Each clan's ancestral hall has its own life lamp. The key to the ancestral hall is in the hands of the clan leader. Others do not know about it. The new clan leader I supported sent me a message to inform me that Yan Jie's soul lamp had been extinguished long ago."

Sang Luo gave the two photo stones and a confession to Fei Yuan.

After reading it, Fei Yuan laughed and said, "This confession has too many loopholes, it's half true and half false, and it's extremely misleading."

Sang Luo was not familiar with the major forces in the central region, but Fei Yuan knew them all and could tell there was a problem at a glance.

"Le Xia is still lying. There are many discrepancies between what she said and the memories I searched with my mental power." The lies that Le Xia made up in a humble manner were so sad and pitiful that it was easy for people to let down their guard and believe them.

Sang Luo added, "The Lake of Resentment she mentioned is real. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"She deliberately released the news just to lure you over there. If you really go there, you'll fall into her trap." Fei Yuan pinched the tip of her nose, his voice low and pleasant.

"To lure a snake out of its hole, you need bait."
