The Otherworldly God

Chapter 170

Bai Zhi knew very well that now was not the time to acknowledge her son, because she was still unclear about what role Ban Xia played in the child swap and murder, and she could not bring up the past ten years and talk to her openly about the past events.

"If Qi Ming is my child, then whose child did Ban Xia kill... Her own? How... is this possible?

She had always been resentful that the head of the He family did not take action, which led to her losing her husband and becoming a widow. That was why no one doubted her motives when she killed the head of the He family's children.

Over the years, I have always regarded her as the murderer of my son. I could not let it go and had no contact with her anymore. But now, she has become my son's savior. How... should I face her?

Perhaps, even she herself does not know that she used her son’s life in exchange for my son’s life.”

Bai Zhi looked at Le Zheng Qiming with tears in her eyes. It was only Le Ying who came over to block her so that no one else could see it.

Le Ying took her away, so Le Zheng Qiming didn't ask her to stay.

Le Ying took her to her room and poured her tea. Bai Zhi, who already knew her identity, stood up and was about to bow to her, but was stopped by Le Ying with both hands.

"Madam, you can't do that."

"Aying? Are you really Aying?"

Looking at her completely different face, only her eyes seemed somewhat familiar, Bai Zhi couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's me, Sister Baizhi. Long time no see."

The two couldn't hold back any longer and hugged each other tightly, crying for a long time before stopping.

"Come on, tell me, how did you become like this?"

"It's a long story. Back then, I was about to give birth and I felt that the baby was in danger, but Ah Fang was sent out on a mission. You were also about to give birth and couldn't take care of me. There was no one reliable person around me.

When the day of delivery came, I fainted from the pain. I have no idea how the baby was born.

When I woke up, I heard that Banxia had thrown my child into the lotus pond because of an old grudge.

As a result, because of her husband's achievements and the fact that she had a newborn child, she was only given a light punishment of being banished from the compound forever. I wanted to tear her to pieces in front of her.

After taking away Ah He, they took away our child, and finally wanted to curse and kill me.

I had no power to fight back, I could only pray for strength from the evil spirit in the sky. Even if I became a demon, I would live on and take revenge on everyone.

The demons were a pain that Le Zheng would never forget. They looked at me, fearing that I would turn into a demon. So regardless of the depth of the night, they put me in a bag and threw me into the dark forest.

Relying on my deep hatred for them, the hatred for my husband and my children, I struggled in the invisible dark forest. I didn't know whether it was day or night, I could only keep crawling forward.

The curse on my body was constantly gnawing at me, my body was rapidly rotting, and I kept cursing, trying to transform myself into a demon.

I will never forget that white hand. It was like a light in the dark night, shining on me. I held it and prayed constantly.

The curse has spread throughout my flesh and blood. If it wants to be removed, it can only be reshaped. I am not afraid of anything. It took me six full years to remove the curse and reshape a new body.

The young lady was worried that I would lose my temper and not only fail to take revenge, but also waste my hard-earned second life, so I was sent to the Shi family under the pseudonym Le Ying and served the second young lady for eleven years, just to take revenge on them one day. "

"They? Who? Who dares to use forbidden techniques on you in Le Zheng?"

"Who else could it be? They are the four elders hiding deep in Lezheng."

Bai Zhi looked at her in surprise, because the four elders were highly respected and had a lot of say not only in Le Zheng, but also in the Taoist Alliance.

As the four elders, they have always been dedicated to protecting Le Zheng and constantly improving their own strength, so it is impossible for them to participate in the power struggle within the clan.

"Are they really them?"

"Yes, their appearance is deeply engraved in my mind. Perhaps, they were so arrogant that they thought I would not survive, so they did not intend to hide their identities in front of me. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, if I had not been determined to survive even if it was worse than death, they might have been able to sit in that position for a long, long time, as the four respected elders."

Bai Zhi found it a little hard to believe, but apart from the appearance, she felt that the person in front of her was Murong Ying.

If it was Murong Ying, Bai Zhi would have nothing to doubt. If not... then she would have to doubt this person and Mu Xin's intention to attack the four elders.

She remembered that Le Zhengzhi said that Mu Xin asked Le Zhengli to place a kind of stone in Le Zheng's courtyard in an attempt to enter the underground palace and seize control of the barrier.

If she gained control, what would she most likely do? Bai Zhi could only think of the main force against which the barrier would fight, the demons.

Just as Le Zhengzhi said, maybe she came here just for the demons, but he also said that Mu Xin's hatred for the demons didn't seem fake.

Is it really possible for a person to associate with someone he hates? She thought of Banxia, ​​her former senior sister.

Banxia and Baizhi were also people from other families who married into Lezheng, so naturally they became close friends who could talk about anything.

Until she killed the child, Bai Zhi regarded her as the enemy who killed her son. No matter how she convinced herself to pretend, after all, she only killed "the son of the head of the family."

However, a thorn was formed and she could not convince herself no matter what.

If it is true as Le Zhengzhi said, that Mu Xin's dislike for the demons has reached an extremely high point, then for a person to associate with an object that he hates must be extremely disgusting. There must be a more important reason than this disgust, which Bai Zhi cannot imagine.

Moreover, as the high priest of Taohua Valley, Bai Zhi would rather give her more trust.

"The four elders hold extremely high positions in Lezheng. They have always been peaceful, so how could they plot such things?"

Le Ying did not blame Bai Zhi for not trusting her. Instead, she felt that it was normal for her to doubt her. She only blamed the four elders for disguising themselves too well, which was why they deceived everyone.

"They naturally don't fight with the world, and they can't fight. Sister Baizhi, in your opinion, how old are our four elders?"

"How old? Almost sixty years old, right?"

"Humph, even if you say there are six hundred of them, it's not an exaggeration. Sister Baizhi comes from Taohua Valley, so she should know something about the rules of Taohua Valley, right?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Why doesn't Taohua Valley like to interact with outsiders? Could it be that they knew from the beginning that outsiders are unreliable?

Back then, the four elders were all brothers who went out on a mission together and were rescued by Peach Blossom Valley when they were dying.

At first they were full of gratitude and willing to keep Taohua Valley's secret, but when they discovered the secret of the people in Taohua Valley, they changed their attitude.

Immortality and immortality are such a great temptation. They threatened the lives of everyone in Taohua Valley, and the young lady had to agree.

Every once in a while, the young lady would ask Yunxiu to send them pills that could guarantee them immortality.

But they were worried about the young lady and asked for better pills that would last longer and, preferably, would work once and for all.

The young lady didn't want the people in Peach Blossom Valley to be harmed, so she made a deal with them. She gave them the elixir of immortality, but they must never reveal the secret of Peach Blossom Valley for the rest of their lives, otherwise they would be punished by God.

The young lady followed the agreement and spent a lot of effort to finally make the immortality medicine they wanted. But they took advantage of Yunxiu's departure and sold Taohua Valley to Tuoba clan.

The matter of the Bai family was also their plot behind the scenes. Their purpose was to use Tuoba to destroy Taohua Valley and protect the secret of their eternal life.

Even if she used forbidden techniques, your mother didn't actually betray Taohua Valley. Someone else betrayed Taohua Valley. They owe their lives to Taohua Valley, the young lady, and to you and me."

Bai Zhi collapsed and sat down at once, many past events flooding into her mind.

No wonder when she married into Le Zheng, she was just an orphan of the Bai family and could win the favor of the four elders and pay homage to them according to the rules. It turned out that they were testing how much she knew that day, and perhaps they also explored their memories that day.

Bai Zhi became worried instantly, thinking that they might have already known that the high priest and Grandma Sumu were alive.

"So, they are my enemies too?"

"Young lady must take back the lives of the four elders. I don't need to worry too much about revenge. I am only afraid that Le Zheng will be ruined and I will not be able to face Ah He."

"What are your plans now? What are your plans? Will you recognize Ah Fang?"

"No, not yet. Ah Fang is now the other head of Le Zheng. Although she doesn't have much real power, she has to investigate what she should investigate and suspect what she should suspect. If she knew, she would definitely be biased and easily exposed. What's more, there are spies from the Immortal Realm and other people's spies in Le Zheng. If we don't get rid of them, Le Zheng will be in danger. So Sister Bai Zhi, the fewer people who know about our affairs, the better."

"I understand."

Bai Zhi thought of her child and hesitated whether to tell her. However, she was worried that the news would be too unexpected and would throw her off balance, so she had to not tell her for the time being.

After she left Le Ying's room, she did not go to the other side of the sand sea, for fear that she would not be able to control herself in front of Le Zheng Qiming, so she went out from the other side and went home.
