Jiang Chen lowered his body even further, and after a long while, squeezed out a word: "Yes!"

Nangong Yunmeng smiled sadly: "I knew it would be like this!"

"He has no purpose, he won't send his own corpse here, and he won't send you here."

"Speak! What does he want to do?"

Jiang Chen lowered his body again: "The Emperor and the Nine Coffin Taoist have already found out that Jianmu is suppressed in the secret realm of the Yin-Yang Inn."

Jianmu?

Hearing this, my eyes widened.

Jianmu is a sacred tree recorded in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*. Legend has it that the emperors such as Fuxi and the Yellow Emperor used this sacred ladder to travel between the human world and the heavenly court. This ladder is Jianmu.

After the end of mythology, the classics did not introduce the whereabouts of Jianmu.

Unexpectedly, Jianmu would be suppressed under the Yin-Yang Inn.

The meaning of "Five Directions Tombs Open Heavenly Prison" is, could it be said, to open another gap in the Heavenly Prison besides Liangjie Mountain by resurrecting Jianmu, so that the Heavenly Soul can return to the human world through the Yin-Yang Inn?

Nangong Yunmeng's voice gradually turned cold as she said, "Continue!"

Jiang Chen simply no longer concealed anything: "Jianmu can lead directly to the sky. The Emperor and the Nine Coffin Taoist joined hands to deduce that as long as Jianmu is resurrected, the sorcerers can attack the hinterland of the Heavenly Prison through Jianmu and slaughter the kings with a surprise force."

"But to resurrect Jianmu, someone needs to sacrifice."

"Among the four great zombies, I must merge with Jianmu to control the direction of Jianmu. Yinggou needs to be used to sacrifice the tree, using water to generate wood and accelerate the growth of Jianmu."

"Di Xiansheng must transform completely into ghosts and enter the Five Directions Tombs to use the power of Di Xiansheng to restrain the demons of various realms and ensure that Jianmu is not disturbed."

"Therefore, the people selected by the Emperor to enter the inn are all people who must die. At the same time, they must be loyal and unwavering. Otherwise, any mistake in any link will make the Emperor's plan fall short."

Jiang Chen stopped here.

Nangong Yunmeng said: "Loyal? Unwavering? Di Xiansheng, who was forced to death by you, wasn't he loyal enough to the Emperor?"

"Why didn't you reveal the news to them beforehand? Why did you have to let them die unjustly?"

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Bu Ting rushed to say, "This is this subordinate's intention!"

"After many years, few people remember the Emperor's sacrifices. Some people also take the resistance to the Heavenly Tribulation for granted. Among the young generation of outstanding figures in the sorcerer's path, there are still many who are hesitant and unwilling to go to Liangjie Mountain."

"This subordinate dares not say whether the descendants of Di Xiansheng still have the heart to resist the heavens. Can only use this method to confirm their character?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help it: "Don't you think this method is ridiculous?"

I was originally satirizing Bu Ting, and didn't expect him to answer. Unexpectedly, Bu Ting actually said: "Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation is related to the survival of the sorcerer's path, and there must be no mistakes. Letting someone with a bad character and insufficient will guard the Five Directions Tombs is equivalent to gambling the lives of countless people on one person's success or failure."

"I can't gamble, and I dare not gamble."

"The real test of a person's character is not when he is alive, but after he dies. The moment after a person dies is their truest side."

"So, I must let them die first."

"Madman!" I didn't know how to evaluate Bu Ting, this madman.

Nangong Yunmeng said lightly: "Jiang Chen, what about you? Do you think so too?"

Jiang Chen said: "This subordinate also thinks so!"

"For your purposes, anyone can be sacrificed, right?" Nangong Yunmeng said, "I don't think I should ask this question. Emperors have always been like this! For the sake of the overall situation, they will definitely choose to make sacrifices."

"Letting their daughters go to make peace, letting their ministers sacrifice."

"Perhaps, when they are making sacrifices, the Emperor also has a trace of pain in his heart. But that kind of pain will soon be forgotten by them."

"When they stand on the high platform and enjoy the admiration of the people and endless glory, have they ever thought of the wronged souls they sacrificed still crying."

"Haha... The Emperor's great cause!"

Jiang Chen's voice suddenly rose: "Empress, please don't say that."

"The Emperor is not doing this for himself. He is doing it for the world."

Nangong Yunmeng's face suddenly sank: "Jiang Chen, I ask you."

"Has the Emperor ever said, if I disagree with handing over the Yin-Yang Inn, what will you do to me?"

Jiang Chen was suddenly shocked and said: "The Emperor didn't tell this subordinate these things! The Emperor believes..."

"No need to say it!" Nangong Yunmeng raised her hand and said, "I don't want to hear those words. Unless he comes to tell me in person."

Jiang Chen didn't know what to say for a while!

Bu Ting said: "Empress, the Emperor once said: If the Empress does not believe what he said, then let him personally tell you."

"In the Emperor's will, there is a passage specifically left for you."

"As long as you open the Emperor's coffin and release the Emperor's will, he will repeat that passage to you."

"Please, Empress, open the coffin."
