407 - The Truth Hidden in Three Rivers
As soon as we heard this, we were all stunned, but when we looked at Meng Xinxue again, we still looked relaxed, as if we had completed the task without much effort.
"Meng Xinxue, you can't be bragging, right?"
Ba Song covered his crotch and asked in surprise, but as soon as the question came out, he heard the cry of a wooden Taoist coming out of the room
"Ask whatever you want, and I will tell you everything...... Ask me......"
Hearing this cry, everyone was stunned again, and couldn't help but throw admiring glances at Meng Xinxue, I hurriedly asked her: "Xiaoxue, how did you do it?" β
Meng Xinxue sneered, only said four words, 'trade secrets', turned around and walked into the room again, so we all followed, sat down on the stool again, raised his eyes to look at Yimu Daoren, and saw that he had already burst into tears.
We didn't delay, Yang Death took the lead in asking: "Uncle Yimu, as a senior of the Maoshan Righteous Path, you have a high position in the Maoshan faction, and you are regarded as the ancestor by the disciples of the whole mountain, how can you fall into the current field?" β
"It's the ...... of the Swift Group"
Yimu let out a long sigh, and finally opened his mouth, saying: "Huoyan Group is not an ordinary business group, they have a huge power, and they carry out a lot of shady things in private......
"Since you also know that these deeds are unseemly, as a veteran of Maoshan, why do you still have to succumb to them? Is this an inducement or a coercion? β
As soon as Yang finished asking, he heard Yimu say again: "Both." As I have just said, the power of the Huoyan Group is huge, even so huge that it is difficult for you to imagine it, just like a deep-rooted old tree, on the surface it seems to be just a simple business group, but in fact it is everywhere, not only is the power huge and amazing, but the various materials and information within the group are even more unimaginable......"
"For example?" Yang asked again.
"For example, the evil art of collecting yin and replenishing yang that I am practicing right now." Yimu Taoist replied: "I don't hide it from you, as early as when I practiced the approach on Maoshan Mountain, I had a demonic obstacle in my heart, and I often sighed in the ancient cave of the back mountain, feeling the shortness of life, feeling the fragility and ordinary incompetence of human beings, born like a leaf at the end of autumn, life hangs by a thread, and countless external forces are enough to make people wither from this, which is really sad." Gradually, I began to yearn to use some of the evil arts inherited from the Maoshan spell to prolong my life, regain my youth, and strengthen my strength, but I often encountered bottlenecks, and I couldn't do it several times, and at this time, the people of the Huoyan Group found me......"
"Where did they find you?" Yang Death asked again.
"It's in Maoshan, and it's not an outsider who came to me, it's my nephew, Cheng Tianbao, the junior brother of Mao Xiaofang."
As soon as Yimu's words came out, I couldn't help but be shocked, and I heard Yimu say again: "What makes me strange is that although I have a demonic obstacle in my heart, I have never mentioned it to anyone, but Cheng Tianbao easily grasped all my information, knew what I was afraid of, and understood what I needed. Cheng Tianbao invited me to join the Huoyan Group, saying that this was for a higher ideal of allegiance, to subvert the tradition that is now a foregone conclusion, to create a new exorcism world, I naturally did not agree at first, but then I gradually found that this so-called 'Huoyan Group' is pervasive, and even on Maoshan Mountain, which has always been strict, in addition to Cheng Tianbao, they have secretly recruited no less than dozens of people to work for it, or even more, among them there are masters of the same generation as me, and I, even the head of Mao Xiaofang, did not check at all...... I began to be afraid, afraid of the strength of this mysterious group, and gradually seduced by them, to get to where I am today......"
When Yimu Dao said this, we were all stunned, Meng Xinxue shook her head, and said tremblingly: "This is impossible, I have been at the headquarters of Tianzhu Mansion for a long time, but I have never heard any news about this Huoyan Group, they seem to have appeared out of thin air in order to frame Yushi Bailong, and even now they know about their existence, how can they infiltrate so many people in Maoshan in an airtight manner?" β
"Hmph, it's not just Maoshan Mountain," Yimu Daoren sneered, and then continued: "Dragon Tiger Mountain, Pavilion Soap Mountain, Wu Gu Sect, Zen Buddhism, Confucian Exorcism Dao, Fuji Tantra, Quanzhen Dao, almost every famous sect in the exorcism world I know, there are people from the Huoyan Group lurking in the dark, which is also gradually discovered after I was invited to join the Huoyan Group, and even in some factions, even the head of a faction is already a member of the Huoyan Group, but I don't know the specific information of these people, the organizational network of the Huoyan Group is extremely large, And things have always been extremely hidden, and some of the things that shouldn't be known to you, you can't even notice it......"
"So, how long have you been working for the Swift Group?"
"A year or so." Yimu Daodao: "At first, I have been responsible for lurking on Maoshan Mountain, collecting all kinds of information on Maoshan for the Huoyan Group, monitoring the every move of the head Mao Xiaofang and the elders of Maoshan, and sometimes even secretly stealing the secret magic books in the sect according to the orders of the group's senior management, or being responsible for monitoring other people......"
"Spying on other people? What do you mean? β
"As I just said, I'm not the only disciple on Maoshan who has been attached to the Huoyan Group, when we receive an order to carry out an operation, there will be other people secretly monitoring our every move around, some we know, some of which we don't even know, in short, the Huoyan Group is pervasive......"
"Then why are you coming to Balizhuang again now?"
"About two months ago, I received an urgent notice from the senior management of the group, asking me to arrive at the experimental base in Sanhe County as soon as possible for support, so I left Maoshan under the pretext of traveling down the mountain."
"In other words, do you know the location of that secret base in Trois-Rivières County?"
As soon as Meng Xinxue spoke, Yimu Daoren shook his head, and then replied: "For more than a month, I have indeed been working in the base, but I don't know where the base is. β
"How is this possible?"
"The Huoyan Group is extremely meticulous, people like us who have been temporarily summoned, after arriving in Sanhe County, there will be a special person to answer, and then blindfolded and sent to another location by car to hand over to another responder, tossing and turning three times before being sent to the secret base, and these pathpoints to meet us are all temporary, that is to say, no matter what goes wrong with any step, it will not affect the normal operation of the overall situation, the mystery of this Huoyan Group is no worse than the Tianzhu Mansion that has been operating for more than 600 years......"
Yimu's words surprised us again, and then I asked, "So, if you don't do things well in the experimental base, why did you go to Balizhuang to harm the villagers?" β
"This is a new task that I have only recently received," Ichiki replied, "The conference is about to be held, and in addition to the regular security personnel, the Huoyan Group has temporarily installed more than 20 'outposts' in all directions of Sanhe County in order to ensure the safety of the base, and I am just one of them. Originally, my task was to quietly guard here, waiting for orders from above to wait for the opportunity to move, but I coveted the newly learned Yin Harvesting Technique from the Huoyan Group, thinking that nothing would happen, so I couldn't bear it and practiced it in the mountains, and the result was ...... As a result, I met Ba Song first, and then I met you......"
"Assembly, you say? What convention? I asked again.
After listening to my question, Yimu Daoist hesitated for a moment, and Meng Xinxue immediately said coldly: "Yimu, you'd better be honest, don't play any tricks with us." β
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Yimu hurriedly shook his head, and then said tremblingly: "That conference is called the 'Gathering Immortal Conference', but it is actually a gathering of demon immortals, cow ghosts, snake gods, and even mountain spirits and ghosts discovered and communicated with the Huoyan Group from all over the surrounding areas. As far as I know, the Huoyan Group has started to send out invitations a few months ago, and now there are more than 100 demons who have been invited, and within a week, they will gather in Sanhe County......"
Hearing this, my heart suddenly shook and I asked, "Anxious about the demon fairy and demon? Huoyan Group even dares to do such a sensational thing, and what is the purpose? β
"Done...... The last step of the experiment ......"
