Chapter 588: Sacrificing Yourself for Righteousness
"Tell me first, why did Zong Tianzhu die?"
"I was about to tell you the details!"
Zuo Shentong replied without hesitation: "A year and a half ago, Shangguan Xuanhao passed some news to the lord. Among them was a dossier that shocked the Lord. The content is probably that ten years ago, in the area of Snow Rock Mountain at the eastern foot of the mountain, there were seven inspiration masters in a row, who either sat down or died within two months. β
Zhang Xinxin thought that this was indeed the case, and when he was transferred to the Upper Court of Zangling Mountain in his previous life, he was already suspicious of some strange phenomena in the sect and was ready to start investigating. The death of these seven inspirations is one of them, and a lot of manpower has been invested in it.
However, before he could make progress, he had already died in the changes of Guanglin Mountain. And as Shangguan Xuanhao's power disappeared, the investigation into the matter was over.
After being reborn as Zhang Xin, the power in his hands was weak, and it was not enough to investigate the matter, so he handed over these clues to the patriarchal minister through private channels.
"The Lord also thinks that this matter is strange, and it has been being investigated. He once hired ten inspiration masters in the sect to sense the changes in the spiritual veins in the eastern foothills, but he got nothing. And one of them sat down soon after. But elsewhere, he had something else to gain. In fact, at that time, there was another person in the area of Xueyan Mountain at the eastern foot of the mountain, who also had the qualification of half an inspiration master, but because he had little potential in this area, he was not valued by the sect and was not recorded. However, he himself has put a lot of effort into his ability to inspire. The Lord heard this man say that about ten years ago, there were four minor earthquakes near the Snow Rock Mountain in the eastern foothills. Afterwards, the sect sent people to investigate the cause, but there was no result, and the final judgment was that it was a change in the earth's crust, and it was not resolved. But at that time, he sensed that the epicenter of the earthquake was not underground, but forty miles south of the Snow Rock Mountain."
When Zhang Xin heard this, he already understood a little: "So your family master began to restart the investigation of the case of Shangguan Xuanhao and Guanglinshan, and he used this case as a cover for the open, and secretly investigated the matter?"
"It's not cover, it's both. β
Zuo Shentong frowned and said: "Later, although the Lord has repeatedly investigated to no avail, through the clues, he gradually has an astonishing guess, thinking that someone is trying to usurp the control of the seventeen Divine Domain Spirit Mountains. β
Hearing this sentence in Ziyutian's ears, it seemed like a shock. Zhang Xin was not surprised, that Divine Venerable had been lurking in the Sun and Moon Xuanzong, and he must have a purpose.
As long as these seventeen Divine Realm Spirit Mountains are still in the hands of the Sun Moon Xuanzong, then even if they fall in the future, they will at most be weak, and they can still rely on these Divine Mountains to survive.
This Divine Venerable wants to usurp the seventeen Divine Domain Spirit Mountains, which can be regarded as pointing to the root.
"So in what form did they take? What clues do you have?"
Zhang Xin continued to ask, "Why did Zong Tianzhu take the risk?"
There is naturally a reason for Zong Tianzhu to spare his life.
Zuo Shentong smiled bitterly: "We can only be sure that the god venerable moved near the Snow Rock Mountain, but we have never been able to determine what method they used. Even if I invited the top inspiration masters, I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. All the evidence trails, all the anomalies, were erased by them ten years ago. The Lord had nowhere to start, so he turned his head again and searched through all the large and small files of the Sun Moon Xuanzong ten years ago. Later, it was discovered that a little earlier in the death of the seven inspiration masters, there were also a large number of spiritual deaths in the Spirit Treasure Hall. And these disciples have all participated in the same treasure fleetββ"
When Zhang Xin listened intently, he was also in contemplation. The so-called treasure fleet is the fleet that transports the rare spiritual treasures produced in various places to the Sun Moon Mountain every year.
In order to prevent accidents, the Sun Moon Xuanzong will send a large number of warships and elite Dao troops to ensure the safety of these treasures.
"Therefore, the Lord suspects that the Divine Sect is likely to have transported something to the Sun Moon Mountain through the channel of the Spirit Treasure Palace, and it is very important. And then he found out that there used to be a large number of redstone cups in that treasure fleet. β
"Redstone cup?"
Zhang Xin's face changed slightly: "Is it Gu?"
"Yes! The Lord at that time guessed the same. It was also determined that the earthquake near the Snow Rock Mountain at that time was caused by the natural rejection of the mountain jurisdiction when the Divine Sect buried the Gu Mother in the leyline. Therefore, the Lord intends to look for evidence to prove it. β
Zi Yutian interjected puzzledly: "Why do you need evidence for this matter? If you find out this point, you can put it on the agenda of your Heavenly Pillar Conference, or ask the Heavenly Domain powerhouse in the door to help." β
Zhang Xin heard this, but he was noncommittal. Zi Yutian thought simply, this was a matter involving the survival of the sect, and it was natural to mobilize the strength of the entire sect.
But if things were really that simple, how could he be helpless against the Divine Cult so far?
"Originally, the Lord thought the same way!"
Zuo Shentong smiled bitterly: "But he soon discovered that those Gu worms had already penetrated deep into the spiritual veins of the Sun and Moon Mountains. It's even just one step away from dyeing the mountains of the realm. β
Zhang Xin couldn't help but think thoughtfully: "So Zong Tianzhu has always hoarded the army of the five halls of the Doubu under the Sun and Moon Mountain, and refuses to transfer it easily?"
"This is something that happened recently, the great victory of Luye Mountain, and the 'Dry Fire Glass Bead' recently obtained by the Star Picking Envoy, it is estimated that it is difficult for that god to sleep. β
Zuo Shentong: "Zong Tianzhu is worried that after the Divine Sect is forced into a corner, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and he doesn't know who is reliable in the Tianzhu Heavenly Domain." So I can only contact him privately, with people he thinks are reliable. These include Tian Yuan Battle Saint, Emperor Ji, Jian Tianxue, Zhen Jiucheng, and so onββ"
"Not including the Conversion Son?" Zhang Xin soon noticed that the list was different.
"Not included!" Zuo Shentong shook his head: "Zong Tianzhu even suspected that the Sect Leader was also suspected of colluding with the people of the Divine Sect for a while. Therefore, he did not contact the head coach until two months ago. But at that time, the Lord still didn't dare to tell Gui Zhenzi that he was using the 'Ginseng Spirit Grass' to comb and explore the various spiritual veins of the Sun Moon Xuanzong. β
"Ginseng Grass? That's a good way to do it. β
As far as Zhang Xin knows, this is a very common spiritual grass in the north, and it can be seen everywhere in the spiritual mountains.
Although ginseng grass is a grass, its roots are very long, and the exudates of its root system also have the ability to attract insects to gather.
"The Lord believes that in order to break the conspiracy of the Divine Sect and prevent the spiritual veins of the Sun and Moon Mountains from suffering heavy damage after the Divine Cult is broken, we must first find out the locations of all the Gu Mothers, and try to remove as many Gu worms as possible in the spiritual veins before the other party is alarmed. That's why I came up with the method of 'Ginseng Spirit Grass', and based on the source of its own building wood, I transformed the ordinary 'Ginseng Spirit Grass' seeds. Then, within a month, it was sprinkled all over the mountains of the sun and the moon. β
Zuo Shentong's expression was gloomy: "This is indeed a good strategy, and it will be effective in just a few months." And the place where the incident happened not long ago is the last one. β
Zhang Xinzhong was slightly startled, and then asked: "Then what is happening to the Sun Moon Mountain now? Has the spiritual vein been damaged? And Zong Tianzhu, why did he have to come forward in person this time? Since he had expected this trip to be dangerous, why didn't he take precautions?"
At that time, if there were three or two Heavenly Domain guards on his side, the Patriarchal Prime Minister would not have died at the hands of the Divine Venerable.
