It just controls the corpse, but has no other effect.

The old emperor was not resurrected? King Nan of Jin and King Ning looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were surprised. Who was so bold as to plant the corpse-controlling poison on the old emperor's corpse?

Zheng Tong continued to speculate, "The old emperor's corpse was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and the imperial mausoleum was sealed. It is impossible to plant corpse-controlling poison in the imperial mausoleum. It is obvious that someone touched the old emperor's corpse before burial."

King Jinnan frowned and said, "Before the burial, the old emperor's body was stored in the palace and was closely guarded by the palace guards. Who can touch the body of the faint emperor?"

Tongzheng said, "It's hard to say. After all, the palace has many people and many people, so anyone can do it."

Bai Yu suddenly thought of something, "Is it possible that the old emperor was planted with this kind of worm during his lifetime? The worm lurked in the old emperor's body, and it didn't explode until the old emperor died."

Several people were shocked, and Zheng Tong said with a smile, "King Ming's speculation is very bold. This possibility also exists. The seeds of this kind of poisonous insect are colorless, odorless and extremely tiny. They can easily be mixed into food."

After hearing this, Bai Yu deliberately guided the topic, "Those who have access to the old emperor's food are those in charge of food in the palace. No matter how courageous those people are, they should not dare to tamper with the old emperor's food. Other than that,

In addition, the heretics raised by the old emperor often asked him to take elixirs and life-prolonging medicines, which were easy to manipulate..."

There was a pause.

Bai Yu lowered his voice and said, "According to the order of the Queen Mother, I was investigating the disappearance of the thousand-year-old snow toad in the harem. I overheard two palace maids whispering that there was some kind of layman named Xuanyi who was still living in the palace. He seemed to be related to Your Majesty.

Close relationship..."

Sure enough, the faces of King Nan of Jin and King Ning changed. They were extremely embarrassed, their faces were horribly dark, and their eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

With so many honorable nobles and so many important officials of the imperial court, they worked together to support the fifth prince. After all the hardships and dangers, they finally killed the foolish emperor and made the fifth prince the new emperor. How could the new emperor be allowed to favor heretics again?

Bai Yu pointed out that it was enough to let King Nan Jin and King Ning know that layman Xuanyi was still in the palace, and there was no need to say anything more.

Zheng Tong looked at Bai Yu calmly. Of course he knew the grudge between Bai Yu and layman Xuanyi. Bai Yu was secretly trying his best to kill someone with a borrowed knife...

Zheng Yaner's beautiful face was calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She quietly gave Bai Yu a thumbs up in a blind corner where no one could see her. From the fact that the old emperor's corpse was infected with worms, it gradually led to the layman Xuan Yi.

...This move is very insidious, and Master Xuanyi knows how he might die.

Prince Ning took a deep breath, "The top priority is to find the old emperor's body first. If you find the body, you will find the person who controlled the corpse, which is equivalent to finding the person who planted the poison."

"I feel the same way."

Zheng Tong took out a small jade box from his black robe, opened it, and found a black beetle inside. "This little thing likes to eat poisonous insects the most. It is very sensitive to the smell of poisonous insects. It will lead us to the old emperor's body."

"

Bai Yu looked at Zheng Tong's black robe, and then at Zheng Yan'er's black robe. There were so many things hidden in the black robes of the father and daughter, and they were not afraid of being confused.

Zheng Yaner glared at him with bright eyes, seeming to read his thoughts, "Our black robes were exchanged from the treasure house of the Demon Slayer Department. They can carry many items and are essential for mid-to-high-level Demon Slayer masters."

Bai Yu smiled, and he would exchange it for one when he had time someday. There were darts, talismans, thunder bullets, explosive beads, etc. hidden in the black robe. It was not bad to throw them around when encountering an enemy.

"Don't sleep, get up and eat."

Zheng Tong touched the black beetle with his finger. The black beetle moved slowly, flapped its wings and took off. It flew in a small circle, fell into the coffin and sniffed around. It seemed very excited. After a while, the black beetle flew out.

Fly towards the cave entrance.

Everyone quickly followed, got out of the hole, got on their horses, and followed the black beetle.

The black beetle flew further and further into the remote areas, up the mountain, and into the forest.

Everyone had no choice but to dismount.

"Ning Yi, you stay here and take care of the horse."

Prince Ning said to Ning Yi.

Six famous horses are very precious. If someone steals them, it will be a big trouble.

"...Yes, Father."

Ning Yi was a little speechless. He was a disciple of Yuezun, the eldest son of Prince Ning, and he still had the title of marquis. Has he already taken his turn to look after the horses?

Bai Yu patted his shoulder seriously, "My Huohuang likes to eat young leaves on trees. Please pick some for him to eat later."

"?" Ning Yi suddenly wanted to beat him, but was worried that he might not be able to beat him... It's not that he might not be able to beat him, but he would definitely not be able to beat him. How could he beat him if he didn't name him? Unless the roll call failed.

Zheng Yan'er added, "My Wushan Liuyun may be a little thirsty. Let's get him some water."

Ning Yi's face turned completely dark.

Leaving Ning Yi behind, the five of them quickly followed the black beetle up the mountain.

King Nan of Jin and King Ning were themselves warriors of the eighth to ninth level. They were also granted the title of king. They were blessed by the phantom of the python behind them. They were extremely fast and could keep up with the black beetles no matter how they flew over the mountains.

Zheng Tong, an eighth-level warrior, can also keep up.

Bai Yu took off with the wind, directly following the beetle flying in mid-air. Seeing Zheng Yan'er running below with a little difficulty, he casually blew her up to the sky with a wind blow. Zheng Yan'er gave Bai Yu a look that said, "You're sensible."

The black beetle flew deeper and deeper into the deep mountains and old forests.

After about thirty or forty miles, we finally stopped and fell into a mountain depression.

Zheng Tong looked at the terrain solemnly and said, "This place has a lot of yin energy and is suitable for raising corpses."

The five people entered the mountain col and saw black beetles circling around a small pool.

Zheng Tong stretched out his hand, and a wave of force swept over him, catching the black beetle, putting it into a small jade box, and stuffing it back into his black robe.
