Chapter 48: The prison is cold, and the red dress is as hot as fire!
Li Xingyun entered Luoyang, Wang Yanzhang was implicated, and the general's mansion fled. Could it be that everything that happened today was a coincidence? That would be too much of a coincidence!
Watching Zhu Wen's departing back, Jing Xiang looked at Li Zhen with an unpleasant expression and said, "Although your majesty is lustful, he is not usually so ignorant of the general situation. Moreover, if your majesty didn't know that Lu was beautiful, how could he have spread her to the palace? Someone must have made slanderous remarks in front of your majesty!"

Li Zhen narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Wang Yanzhang and Li Xingyun drank together, which is strange in itself. If it is true what you said, someone instigated His Majesty to summon Lu to the palace, then this arrangement is probably more than just forcing Wang Yanzhang and Daliang to confront each other!"

Jing Xiang clenched his fist in anger and said, "Who set up this trap? It's so vicious. This person has big plans. I'm afraid he's targeting the country of Daliang!"

Li Zhen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said, "Wang Yanzhang was captured by the Xuanming Sect. With his temper, Wang Yanzhang did not resist. This is the first doubt. The second doubt is why the people in Wang Yanzhang's mansion fled Luoyang so easily. Don't they care about Wang Yanzhang's life or death at all?"

"Could it be the work of the Dark Emperor who has disappeared for a while?" Jing Xiang pondered and said, "It has been some time since the Dark Emperor left Luoyang, and the Xuanming Sect has now been completely controlled by His Majesty, but the Dark Emperor has not made any move so far. This is a bit strange."

"Underworld Emperor?" Li Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "It can't be him. If he had this brain, he wouldn't have given up the military to run a killer organization and practiced the evil skills that destroyed his appearance. How can the prince of a country be a dwarf?"

"Ah!" Li Zhen sighed, feeling his mind in a mess. This series of events happened in such a short time that he didn't have time to sort out all the doubts and clues. Jing Xiang sighed and said, "It has come to this. Only when I meet Wang Yanzhang in Chaoyuan Palace tomorrow can I know what happened."

Li Zhen nodded slightly. The clues they knew now were too few to find any useful information. But even so, once they met Wang Yanzhang and Li Xingyun tomorrow, everything would naturally become clear.

……

Xuanming Sect, headquarters.

The dark blue flames kept jumping, reflecting the strange figure that seemed a bit taller. "Hmph, the old thing still wants to cleanse the Xuanming Sect, but he doesn't know that the entire Xuanming Sect is my people! Hahaha, I'm back this time, and I want to take back everything I lost!" The Hades' scarlet eyes stared coldly at the chair on the seat of the Xuanming Sect's leader, and for a moment he even imagined it as a dragon throne!

"May the Underworld Emperor live forever. This plan will surely be foolproof. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Underworld Emperor on his success." Meng Po bowed slightly.

The Hades smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's too early to say that now."

A member of the Xuanming Sect knelt on one knee and presented a bright yellow scroll, saying, "Your Majesty, Wang Yanzhang's family, young and old, have all fled Luoyang after learning that His Majesty had summoned Lu to the palace! The imperial edict to summon Lu was also thrown in the courtyard of the palace."

"Oh? Is this true?" The Hades laughed disdainfully and said, "How ridiculous! Is this the love between a man and a woman, or the affection between a husband and wife? It's just a clown who flew away when the disaster struck!"

"Go to the Netherworld. I want to see Wang Yanzhang!" The Hades walked on the stone steps with big strides with his hands behind his back, and the members of the Xuanming Sect behind him shortened their steps and followed him.

……

The Nether Prison! This is a prison that Xuanming Sect used to imprison people who opposed Liang and those who did not obey Xuanming Sect's control over the martial arts world. The three prisons of Heaven, Earth and Man represent the importance of the prisoners. Among them, Ji Ruxue and Lu Linxuan were imprisoned in the Earth Prison, and Li Xingyun, Wang Yanzhang and the Water and Fire Judge were imprisoned in the Heaven Prison. Each prison is a separate cell dug out underground. Once the two-person-high stone door is closed, it is difficult for ordinary people to shake it even if they have reached the middle heaven level.

Wang Yanzhang sat cross-legged with his hands clasped in front of his chest, trying to gather his inner strength. However, the meridians in his body were so soft that they didn't respond at all. "Huh..." Wang Yanzhang had no choice but to give up. After a long breath, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. What kind of crappy drug was this? Not only could he not gather his inner strength, but his legs and feet were also so soft.

"General Wang, long time no see!" A sarcastic voice sounded outside the stone gate. Click, click, as the mechanism outside the door was activated, the stone gate slowly opened and the Hades stepped in.

"Emperor of the Underworld? When did you return to Luoyang?" Wang Yanzhang looked at Emperor of the Underworld with some surprise. Why did he appear in the Xuanming Sect? Wasn't the Xuanming Sect already under the control of His Majesty?

"Hahaha, you don't think that the Xuanming Sect has been controlled by that old guy, do you? You don't think that old guy can get rid of me, do you? Luoyang is my home, I can come when I want and leave when I want, do you understand?" The Hades looked at Wang Yanzhang leisurely. In his opinion, Wang Yanzhang now had no way out except to surrender to him.

"What? The Xuanming Sect actually betrayed His Majesty? Wait!" Wang Yanzhang's eyes widened instantly. If the Xuanming Sect was controlled by the Hades, then was today's event also planned by the Hades?
"Emperor Ming, are you framing me?" Wang Yanzhang glared at Emperor Ming, but he smiled and said slowly, "Did I ask you to go drink with Li Xingyun? I even sent someone to tell you not to go into that box, but what about you? You just wouldn't listen! Wang Yanzhang, you are too arrogant! Your arrogance not only hurt you, but also your family!"

"What? What did you do?" Wang Yanzhang's eyes were wide open and he suddenly rushed towards the Hades, boom!
A black gas shield suddenly burst out from the Hades Emperor, and Wang Yanzhang instantly flew backwards and hit the stone wall heavily. The Hades Emperor snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Let alone you now, even if you were in your prime, I would not take you seriously. You are just an ant at the middle level!"

Snapped!
The Dark Emperor threw out the imperial edict in his hand and sneered, "Look, look at what your loyal Majesty has done to you!"

The scattered imperial edict fell right in front of Wang Yanzhang. The large characters written in a flamboyant style were so shocking in Wang Yanzhang's eyes. "Announce Lu to enter the palace..." Wang Yanzhang picked up the imperial edict on the ground with trembling hands. He saw the Dark Emperor adding fuel to the fire and saying, "Haha, that's it. You were just arrested and imprisoned. Instead of finding out the truth, the old man wanted to occupy your wife. Isn't that ridiculous? Is this the monarch you are loyal to?"

"Think about it carefully and tell me your answer tomorrow!" The Hades did not tell Wang Yanzhang that Lu had safely left the city. He needed Wang Yanzhang to accumulate that damn anger in his heart. Once a person is angry, everything will be easy!

After taking a last look at Wang Yanzhang who was lying there in a daze, the Hades raised his lips slightly and the stone door slowly closed.

……

Click, click, click...

Li Xingyun, who was sitting cross-legged, looked up at the open stone door with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Why are you here?"

The man was dressed in a fiery red dress, with two dots of red between his brows. He looked at Li Xingyun with a slightly evasive gaze, but his voice was firm, "I am worried."
