Soon, Ye Lingyue and Zhan Teng were the only two people left in the courtyard.

Around the third watch, it was the most suitable time to practice the soul-summoning technique. Before that, Ye Lingyue and Zhan Teng both closed their eyes and rested their minds.

Several maids left the courtyard. They did not leave the courtyard immediately, but waited outside.

The third lady is still resting. They need to stay outside the courtyard. If there is any trouble, they will report it to the lady.

The maids did not notice that just when they entered Emperor Shakya's courtyard earlier, someone sent the news to another courtyard.

In another courtyard some distance away from Emperor Shakya's courtyard, Xi Jiuye, Heiwu, Elder Hei and others have also received the news.

"You mean, the third master and a maid of the third wife entered the courtyard of the young patriarch?"

Xi Jiuye asked casually, holding a ledger in his hand.

In front of him, kneeling was a soldier.

"Commander Qi Xi, that's exactly what it is."

"It seems like that woman Di Qiluo hasn't given up yet."

Elder Hei on the side smiled, as if he was not surprised by what Di Qiluo and Zhan Teng did.

Emperor Shakya's death was concealed from almost everyone, but only Emperor Qiluo was concealed.

Xi Jiuye has been a member of the Emperor Demon Family for so long, he has figured out everyone's temper, but he has never been able to figure out the tempers of two people.

One is the crazy Di Yunshang. That woman is clearly a lunatic, but her cultivation is astonishing.

However, Di Yunshang has always regarded Xi Jiuye as his biological son, and now that she is in Tiangang Palace, Di Qiluo does not pose a substantial threat to Xi Jiuye.

As for the other person, it was Di Qiluo.

When he first met that woman, Xi Jiuye thought she was just a shrewd and ignorant ordinary woman.

But when Emperor Shakya died, what Emperor Qiluo did made Xi Jiuye realize that he had misjudged the person.

Di Qiluo participated in the selection of the young patriarch after the death of Emperor Shakya. She won over several elders and secretly controlled all the forces in the Dimo ​​family. All signs showed that the woman was not a light-hearted person.

But it was precisely this that made Xi Jiuye wary of Di Qiluo.

He had even guessed that Di Qiluo might have doubts about the cause of Di Shakya's death.

Therefore, Xi Jiuye had already sent people to monitor Di Qiluo and his wife and Di Shaka's courtyard.

A few days ago, there was nothing unusual about Di Qiluo and Zhan Teng.

It wasn't until the last day before the selection of the young patriarch that the couple finally felt something strange.

"Elder Hei, it seems that your guess is correct. Di Qiluo wants to summon the soul of Emperor Shakya."

Elder Hei had told Xi Jiuye earlier that Emperor Shaka's death was a foregone conclusion. Unless someone summoned his soul, the people of the Emperor Demon family would not be able to find any clues.

"I have used the forbidden curse method to seal Emperor Shakya's soul in the building. Even if the other party uses the soul summoning method, it is impossible to summon his soul. On this point, brother Jiuye, don't worry.

.”

Elder Hei smiled.

Elder Hei was always meticulous in his work. After he and Hei Wu used the underworld coffin to devour the soul of Emperor Shakya, they used the forbidden curse method to seal his soul outside the Emperor Demon Mansion just like Zhu Yangyang.

Therefore, even if the soul-summoning technique is used, Emperor Shakya's soul will never appear.

"It's Elder Hei who has a deep plan. As a result, tomorrow's choice of young clan leader will definitely be none other than Emperor Jinse."

Xi Jiuye couldn't help but feel very happy when he learned that the last obstacle to the promotion of the Young Patriarch had been removed.

But unexpectedly, just when Xi Jiuye thought that everything was at ease, a black knight from the Dark Leader suddenly walked in in a hurry.

The black knight warrior looked ugly and whispered a few words into Hei Wu's ear.

Heiwu's expression changed instantly.

"There is some bad news. Just now, the soul of Emperor Shakya broke free from the forbidden curse and escaped."

Heiwu coughed a few times and told a piece of news that shocked both Xi Jiuye and Elder Hei.

"How is this possible? The forbidden curse is very strict. There is no reason why the soul can escape."

Elder Hei looked surprised.

"Maybe it's because today is the seventh day of Emperor Shakya's first year, and his soul power has increased, which affects the forbidden curse. The men of the black knight have already chased him, but when they chased him near the city gate, Emperor Shakya's life

The soul is gone."

Black fog also had a headache on his face.

He also didn't expect that Emperor Shakya's most important life soul would escape.

The underworld coffin can swallow the host's body, but the host's soul cannot be completely destroyed.

They originally thought that they could sit back and relax by casting a forbidden spell on the host's soul, but little did they expect that something would suddenly change.

"What should we do? If Emperor Shakya's soul enters the Emperor Demon Mansion and tells everyone the truth, you and I will be finished."

For Xi Jiuye, this news was like ice and fire, causing him to fall from heaven to the bottom of the valley.

"Brother Jiuye, you don't have to worry. What Emperor Shakya escaped was just a wisp of his life soul. He was restricted by the forbidden curse and was imprisoned for several days. His soul power is already weak, and it is easy for his soul to fly away. It is not so easy to enter the Emperor Demon Mansion.

Complain."

Elder Hei consoled him.

In the state of life soul, unless the mental power is particularly strong, most people cannot even see Emperor Shakya's life soul.

"Don't forget, there are many witches in the Emperor Demon Mansion. Zhan Teng himself is a witch, not to mention others."

Xi Jiuye said angrily.

He had great trust in the Dark Territory's ability to do things earlier, but he did not expect that the Dark Territory would fall apart at such a critical time.

"That boy Zhan Teng is indeed a trouble. Elder Hei, would you like to..."

A cold light flashed in Hei Wu's eyes.

As long as Zhan Teng is killed, no one will be able to practice the art of summoning souls. As for the other shamans in the Imperial Demon Palace, they can find ways to bribe them.

"No, this is the Emperor Demon Mansion. Although Zhan Teng is an uncle in name only, he is still a member of the Emperor Demon Mansion. Killing him at this juncture will definitely arouse suspicion."

Xi Jiuye shook his head.

"No need to bother, I have a way to get rid of Zhan Teng without being suspected by the Emperor Demon Family."

Elder Hei just frowned slightly and took it into consideration.

But seeing him whisper a few words, Xi Jiuye and Hei Wu suddenly understood.

The night is dark, Emperor Shakya's first seven days, tonight is the last day.

In order to be able to perform the Soul Summoning Talisman, Ye Lingyue closed her eyes for a while to rest.

It wasn't until around the third watch that Zhan Teng's awakening sound came to her ears, and she opened her eyes.

It was already dark all around.

There was no one else in the courtyard except her and Zhan Teng. Several white lanterns were hung on the corridor. The lanterns were swinging back and forth, and their shadows fell on the ground, dragging like ghosts.

There was deathly silence all around, and Ye Lingyue could even clearly hear the sound of candles burning and sparks shooting out.
