Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Eighty: The Wave (Ninety-Seven)
Zhang Yi's performance tonight has been very calm, even when Zong Yan and Lou Qingyao flew down to protect He Suyou in the end, Zhang Yi was indifferent, and only watched quietly from a high place.
At this point, Zhang Yi basically no longer has much hope for this trip to the Broken Intestine Valley, which means that in his opinion, it is unlikely that the money tide will be eliminated in the Broken Intestine Valley this time. And the reason why he came to this conclusion was that Zhang Yi saw it from Shangguan Hong.
The previous Zhu Yu judged that Shangguan Hong could almost be regarded as the first person in the Five Spirits Sect by virtue of his previous experience in the Five Spirits Sect, even if it was not, it was almost the same, and Zhang Yi was different from Zhu Yu, Zhang Yi had been staying in the Five Spirits Sect and had never left, he had experienced Shangguan Hong's expulsion from the sect at the beginning, and later Shangguan Hong returned to the Five Spirits Sect again, as well as the various conflicts between Shangguan Hong and Lin Jian in the back, although Zhang Yi did not pay much attention to Shangguan Hong in the past, but his understanding of Shangguan Hong was far greater than Zhu Yu, Compared with Zong Fang and Jing Lu, he also knows Shangguan Hong better.
But tonight, Shangguan Hong's methods were definitely beyond Zhang Yi's expectations.
Before this Broken Intestine Valley, one of the words that Zhang Yi's subordinates used the most when describing Shangguan Hong to him was "ruthless", "ruthless" refers to Shangguan Hong's temperament, and "spicy" not only refers to Shangguan Hong's failure to make a move, but also shows that Shangguan Hong's methods are clever.
And Zhang Yi relied on his status as a great man, what kind of master among the qi refining disciples in the sect he hadn't seen?
In the Five Spirits Sect in the past, the recognized first person among the Qi refining disciples was the Senior Brother Fan who had not built the foundation for a long time, and this person was also the head of the previous Five Spirits Qi Refining Disciples, although he rarely made a move, but everyone who saw him make a move said that this Senior Brother Fan's methods were indeed extremely clever, and he deserved the title of the first person to be a Qi refining disciple. Later, Senior Brother Fan Ji built the foundation, although the position of the head of the five spirit qi refining disciples passed to the hands of Qian Chao's five people, but the first person recognized as the first qi refining disciple in the sect was not the five of them, and the various rankings at that time were messed up, in general, Luo Ying, Luo Bin, Yan Shuang, Lu Shuang, Wen Yuan, and Fang Yang Fang Han sisters, Cui Yin, Gu Yuan and other well-known figures, and even Ma Hu was touted, and there was no definite term for a while, but those were just rumors.
Later, characters like Luo Ying and Yan Shuang have also built foundations one by one, and it seems that there is no ranking among the qi refining disciples in the sect, well, the reputation of the five people in Qian Chao is gradually flourishing, but Zhang Yi always feels that it is not the turn of the five of them.
Maybe he wasn't interested in this issue, or for some other reason, Zhang Yi had been ignoring Shangguan Hong, the biggest reason was that he had seen Shangguan Hong shoot too little, or he hadn't seen it, he had just heard rumors.
A few days ago, Shangguan Hong also showed his means in front of them, but either by relying on her lamp, or by relying on some troublesome spiritual restraint technique, but these methods are nothing in Zhang Yi's opinion, the lantern must have been asked for from Qiu Huayu, and the spirit restraint technique cannot be used in face-to-face battles, it can only be used as a means of sneak attack.
And tonight, it is the first time Zhang Yi has seen Shangguan Hong come up with real means to fight with others, of course, this is also a blessing for He Suyou, if he hadn't poured out the lamp oil in Shangguan Hong's lamp, I'm afraid Shangguan Hong would not have been forced to have a real hard encounter with everyone, it can be said that Shangguan Hong's performance tonight surprised Zhang Yi, before that, he didn't expect Shangguan Hong to be so strong, so strong that it far exceeded his imagination.
As a result, Zhang Yi and Zhu Yu also coincided, thinking that Shangguan Hong was about the same if she was not the first Qi refining disciple in the Five Spirits Sect, at least she must have few opponents in the sect.
In Zhang Yi's plan, if the Broken Gut Valley can't get rid of Qian Chao this time, then the next step is to strive to cooperate with Shangguan Hong to deal with Qian Chao's people, after seeing Shangguan Hong's methods, Zhang Yi was very excited for a while, thinking that it was a good thing that the future partner would be so strong.
But soon, Zhang Yi thought about many things.
Although he didn't pay much attention to Shangguan Hong before, Zhang Yi still knew what this woman's means were in general, seeing Shangguan Hong fighting with everyone with ease, suppressing Shao Zhi, suppressing Dacai, suppressing Pi Fengling, dealing with Wang Cunxi with spirit insects, killing Zhu Yu's spirit beast with great ease, and although she was jealous, she could still be equal to Ni Qiuyi, in the whole process, Shangguan Hong's means as a spiritual monk were revealed, that is, her endless spirit insects were seen in Zhang Yi's eyes...... Always let him feel that Shangguan Hong was definitely prepared for this trip to the Broken Intestine Valley.
It's nothing to come prepared, and so is Zhang Yi, but Shangguan Hong's preparation is too sufficient, and it can even be said to be a little excessive.
Many of Shangguan Hong's methods are very targeted, such as sword cultivation and physical cultivation that are either suppressed or suffered losses in front of her, Zhang Yi dares to conclude, not to mention that in the Five Spirit Sect, even if you look at all the qi refining cultivators in the entire cultivation world, there should be no one who can deal with the physical cultivation and sword cultivation of the same level as easily as Shangguan Hong, and the physical cultivation and sword cultivation that can make people have a headache just by their name in the past has always been at a disadvantage in front of her, and if this is not done in advance, Zhang Yi felt that he couldn't do it with Shangguan Hong's previous methods.
And before the Broken Intestine Valley, who else could be the only body cultivation and sword cultivation that could make Shangguan Hong treat it so cautiously?
Naturally, there are only Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian among the five people in Qian Chao, which means that her methods to deal with Cheng Dacai and Shao Zhi were originally used to deal with those two.
When he thought of this, Zhang Yi concluded that among the methods prepared by Shangguan Hong in advance, there must be those who specifically dealt with Yan Xuan, Tang Ping and Qian Chao.
Shangguan Hong's methods must be useful, and it can be seen from her battle with everyone tonight that it should be said to be quite effective.
When he thought of this, Zhang Yi admitted that he still thought about things simply at the beginning, and he thought that if he found more real people with means to help, he would definitely be able to deal with Qian Chao, but it seemed that he was wrong.
And even if Shangguan Hong has such adequate preparations, she still has no bottom in her heart about whether she can defeat Qian Chao and those people, and it can even be said that she is very unsure, otherwise, she will not have the oil lamp in her hand, it must be that she thinks that even if she has made a lot of preparations, she still can't guarantee that she will defeat Qian Chao and those people, so she asked for the lamp from Qiu Huayu.
And the lamp oil used to deal with Qian Chao was poured out by He Suyou, the funny thing is that the lamp was originally supposed to be used to deal with Qian Chao, and what is even more ridiculous is that the ultimate target of both of them was Qian Chao and those people, and now they are still fighting here.
The above Guan Hong can now toss his group of people in embarrassment and helplessness without using the means revealed by that lamp, but even so, Shangguan Hong still has to prepare that lamp to deal with the five people of Qian Chao, so that even if his group finally faces the five people of Qian Chao, there are very few opportunities to get rid of Qian Chao.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi shook his head, things are simple, this Shangguan Hong is said to have been working against Tang Ping, so she must know more about the five people of Qian Chao than herself, well, if she had known this, then there would be no need to instigate Zongfang to invite so many people over at that time, wouldn't it be better to cooperate directly with Shangguan Hong by herself?
When he thought of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help but look at Zong Yan and Lou Qingyao below in front of him, especially Lou Qingyao, in his opinion, this Lou girl's plan would definitely fail.
After thinking that he had figured this out, Zhang Yi thought of another question, and at this time his eyes looked at Jing Lu, who was confronting Shangguan Hong.
This child of the Jing family who only knows that the blood gushes in his head when his chest is hot, the reckless and reckless guy who does things, his main purpose this time is also Qian Chao, it is to get rid of Qian Chao and others and the shame brought to the Jing family by the Xue Jing Ji thing, Zhang Yi can guess that this must be indispensable Zong Cheng's various influences on Jing Lu, and only that woman can make Jing Lu fascinated.
As everyone knows, Zong Cheng's real purpose is to get rid of him, and then blame the five people of Qian Chao, so that even if someone in the Jing clan will definitely take action against the five people of Qian Chao because they can no longer suppress their anger, no matter whether the people of the Jing family can get rid of the five people of Qian Chao, as long as they do it, they will definitely be suppressed by the Zongmen Council, and their strength and power will be damaged again.
Zhang Yi sighed, he shouldn't have promised Zong Cheng at the beginning, he should have thought about it at that time. At the beginning, he agreed with Zong Cheng's plan because he had not yet considered joining forces with Shangguan Hong in the future, and at that time he was in an urgent mood to get rid of Qian Chao, and felt that if this trip failed, Jing Lu's death would be able to support him, and he could use Jing's power to get rid of Qian Chao, which was an extra layer of insurance, but now it seems that this method is not a good way. In fact, it was too late for Zhang Yi to consider that this method was inappropriate, and Zong Cheng had already secretly made arrangements, and he was also very helpless about it.
Zhang Yi was actually worried about himself.
Qian Chao is dead or there are still dead and injured among those five people, in fact, it is nothing to Da Xuan, whether it is Gu Won Fairy or Tang Bonian, even the unreasonable Kang Pu can't even shake the Zhang clan at the bottom, let alone Xingshi asking for guilt, well, this is probably why the sect has been suppressing the five clans in the sect.
And once there is Jing Lu among the dead people, it will be different, even if the successful blame is given to Qian Chao, who can guarantee that Jing's people will not be suspicious and will not strictly investigate this matter? After all, when Jing Lu died, there were people from the Zong family, and there were people from the Zhang family, so it would definitely be carefully and rigorously investigated, once there were any clues found out by them, it would be too much trouble, after all, Zhang Yi himself also knew about it, if the truth was revealed, there would definitely be a big chaos between the Jing family and the Zong family in the sect, and the Zhang family would not be able to stay alone, and would also be implicated.
One of these is what Zhang Yi is most worried about, if Jing Lu dies, he will definitely go through a strict interrogation as a party present, which is what Zhang Yi is very afraid of, and the person who interrogates him at that time is likely to be Zhang's own person, but maybe he will use illusion methods to interrogate him, in that case, he will be equivalent to completely opening himself up for people to see, especially his secret as a spiritual blood cultivator can no longer be kept.
What will happen to him in that case?
The best outcome is to be abolished and then expelled, and the easiest and safest way for the Zhang family is to get rid of him quietly, so as not to expose the matter and implicate the Zhang family.
So Zhang Yi had already gone to the opposite side of Zong Cheng at this time.
He had to find a way to keep Jinglu.
Zong Cheng's strategy to get rid of Jing Lu was of course not done by Zhang Yi, nor could it be done by Zong Fang, Zhang Yi knew that among these people invited by him and Zong Fang, there must be someone who served Zong Cheng and was ready to assassinate Jing Lu at a critical moment, but he didn't know who that person or those people were, and the next thing he had to do was to find him or them.
So tonight, since the beginning of the fight, Zhang Yi has been staring coldly at all the people present.
