Chapter 31: Conspiracy
It's like trapping the scorpion demon in the bamboo forest that day, in the perspective of ordinary people, when you pass by there again, you will only feel that it is empty, and there is no broken temple, any scorpion demon, all of them. But those who open the eyes of heaven will see at a glance that there is a temple here, and a scorpion demon is trapped in it.
In the next month, Li Yanzhi devoted himself to cultivating the knowledge imparted by Uncle Jin. Either meditate and practice the Nine Turns Exercises, or meditate on the opening stone at the entrance of the village, and cultivate to improve the Heavenly Eye.
And he also listened to the advice of Uncle Jin, Aunt Hua and Sister Wei, and did not rush to improve his cultivation again, after all, the most important thing at the beginning of cultivation is to lay a solid foundation and stabilize his cultivation.
Therefore, during this period of time, although his level has not been improved, the solid vitality seeds in the dantian have indeed become thicker and thicker, more and more condensed, and the physical fitness of the whole body has been greatly improved.
If it is said that he used almost all his strength to kill the blue-faced man that day, then the current Li Yanzhi is afraid that he can easily kill the blue-faced man with just one finger. Cultivation has long been incomparable.
While Li Yanzhi was rapidly improving himself, a huge conspiracy against Taixu City and Yunyin Gate was also going on in secret.
In the west of Taixu City, there is an ordinary two-story courtyard somewhere.
In the living room deep in the courtyard, an old man with gray hair and a man wearing a black cloak and shrouded in darkness stood with their hands in their hands.
The dazzling sunlight shines through the window into the chairs made of green bamboo and nanmu in the living room, making the whole living room feel more hot.
At this moment, the smell that fills the air is like substance.
The gray-haired old man, if the villagers of Donglin Village saw him, they would definitely recognize this old man as an old man who had been fighting in their village for decades, but he suddenly disappeared more than a month ago, and he didn't see anyone alive or dead, but he didn't expect to come here.
The old, frail, timid, and humble demeanor that the old man had carved into his bones had long since disappeared, and was replaced by an indifferent, sharp, and sharp appearance.
That's right, this is the person of the demon clan who killed the soul of the old husband and took the body of the old man - His Royal Highness Cangqing.
And the other person who was dressed in a black cloak and covered his whole body tightly was Zhao Yuanqi's father, the Ghost King.
"Ghost King, why were all the warriors of my demon clan slaughtered in Wari Temple Village?! The whereabouts of my demon clan are only known to you in this world!" His Royal Highness Cangqing's eyes were blazing, and he did not hide the suspicion in his heart, and directly pointed out that he thought that the ghost king had betrayed them.
Being charged with such a crime, regardless of whether it is in fact or not, ordinary people will probably only be at a loss for words and anxiously deny it.
The true face of the ghost king was completely hidden in the cloak, and his expression could not be seen, but from the clothes on his body did not even move, the whole person looked extremely calm, and it can be imagined that his face must be very calm at this moment.
"Your Highness Cangqing, I only ask you, what is the benefit to me of betraying a village where your demon clan gathers, or even betraying you, and killing you on the spot? ”
The Ghost King used a calm voice and did not directly answer His Highness Cangqing's question, but asked directly.
Sometimes, rhetorical questions are more effective than direct answers.
For example, now.
Sure enough, His Royal Highness Cangqing, who was originally aggressive and wanted to ask the teacher for his guilt, fell into silence after hearing this rhetorical question-
Indeed, with the Ghost King's status among the immortal cultivators, whether it is to kill the demon clan people in the entire village, or even to kill me, there is not much benefit to be gained.
However, if the previous agreement is completed for Yunyin Gate and the entire Taixu City, the benefits obtained by the other party will be incalculable.
In this case, there is really no need for the Ghost King to deliberately leak or eradicate those demon warriors lurking in Wari Temple Village.
"Who killed so many warriors of our demon clan?" Sure enough, His Royal Highness Cangqing no longer questioned the ghost king, but began to ask about the whole story, "You also know that this is a secret agent of the demon clan who has been cultivated by us for many years and has a great understanding of Taixu City, and it has an immeasurable effect on the plan we are about to realize, but it was all wiped out overnight. Don't tell me it's just a coincidence!"
In the end, His Highness Cangqing still spoke in a bad tone. After all, even if this matter was not betrayed by the Ghost King, it was very likely that he accidentally leaked his mouth to let others know, thus affecting the demon clan warriors of their entire village.
Facing the sharp questioning of His Royal Highness Cangqing, the Ghost King was silent for a moment, and only after a moment did he slowly reply, "This is indeed just a coincidence......
"What?!" His Royal Highness Cangqing's expression changed, his eyes were extremely sharp, like a sharp sword, staring at the ghost king's black-clothed cloak without blinking.
"Could the Ghost King only use such a reason to prevaricate me?" After a moment, His Royal Highness Cangqing's old face showed an undisguised mockery.
Although his cultivation is not as good as the ghost king, behind him are countless warriors of the demon clan, and there are demon kings and great demon kings behind him. And His Royal Highness Cangqing is a representative sent by the demon clan, and it is with this hole card that he is much lower than the ghost king, so he has the confidence to argue with the ghost king.
It is precisely because of this that the Ghost King will not be dissatisfied with his rudeness and arrogance.
Based on his future plans, the Ghost King patiently explained, "I have no reason to prevaricate you. I am a close friend of your leader, the Demon King, and I think you should know how determined I am to accomplish our 'great plan'. So I won't prevaricate, if there is a real problem, I'm afraid that the first person who cares the most and is bound to find out the truth is me. ”
The Ghost King's voice was low, but there was an inexplicable persuasiveness, and sure enough, after these words, the mocking smile on His Royal Highness Cangqing's face disappeared.
As if sighing helplessly in his heart, the ghost king slowly spoke again: "Five hundred years ago, your demon clan had a famous demon king Huang Kai, has His Highness Cangqing ever heard of it?"
"Demon King Huang Kai?" His Royal Highness Cangqing was shocked in his heart, and the moment he mentioned this name, an expression of extreme respect and adoration flashed on his face, which showed what kind of lofty status this demon king who had slaughtered countless human beings wildly in the heart of His Highness Cangqing.
"As far as I know, this demon king has been killed by your immortal cultivator sect Yunyin Sect as early as five hundred years ago, and he has already become an ancient, what do you mean by mentioning him?" His Royal Highness Cangqing was puzzled.
