The "Dao City" in the starry sky, "Zu Zhou," the budding place of initial cultivation, "Shen Cang Gu Ze," the origin of water in the vast universe, and the void's forbid...
Chapter 345: Leverage
From Jiang Xin's reaction, it can be seen that Yao Qian did not get any useful information from Zhou Bida.
Moreover, Yin Jun should not have fallen into Yang Shenjing's hands, or has not been brought back to Nanyan Pass.
As long as Yang Shenjing couldn't catch the living Hidden Lord, Li Weiyi would have full confidence to continue to implement the next plan. After all, there is no evidence of death.
It would be the ideal situation if the Hidden Lord could escape.
but……
Li Weiyi really didn't dare to have too much hope and had to seize the time.
However, the more urgent the situation is, the less anxious you should be.
Seeing that "Yao Qingxuan" remained silent, Jiang Xin felt a sense of calm before the storm. He knew that the other party must be hesitating whether to kill him or not, and was weighing the pros and cons.
At the critical moment of life and death, dignity, integrity, and the demeanor of a strong person must all be put aside temporarily. Only by surviving can there be various possibilities in the future.
On the steps, he acted half-truthfully: "That Yang Shenjing is the Great Immortal. He came to me personally, and I had no other choice. If I don't surrender, he will definitely use Luantai to get rid of me, and then install a master of the Sui Sect to take my place. Your Excellency, please forgive me this time. From now on, I will go through fire and water and only obey your orders."
Li Weiyi said: "If it weren't for the imminent attack on Lingxiao City, your position would be very important and I would never spare your life."
Jiang Xin quickly raised his head and showed a look of joy.
Li Weiyi added: "But how can I believe that you won't turn around and go to see Yao Shaoqing and tell him everything? If they knew that the Divine Cult was about to attack Lingxiao City and that the Divine Cult was already on guard against them, what would they do next?"
Jiang Xin's face changed. "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the Divine Religion's strongholds and troops in Lingxiao City, the Four Passes, the eight core states, and the southern border will be uprooted by the imperial court within a few days."
Li Weiyi said: "So, how can I trust you?"
Jiang Xin said anxiously: "I have the death spirit fire planted by Dao Zu in my body, I dare not betray..."
"If Dao Zu died at the hands of the Second Palace Master, this death spirit fire could be easily resolved. That's what you think, right?" Li Weiyi said.
"Bang! Bang..."
Jiang Xin kowtowed seven or eight times: "I will do whatever your Excellency tells me to do."
Li Weiyi deliberately pondered for a while, making Jiang Xin even more uneasy, and then threw out a pen and paper from his bag: "Write a letter to report them! If you dare to betray the Divine Religion, this letter will naturally fall into the hands of Yang Shenjing. At that time, you will have no place to stay on either side. You are a smart person, how to write it, do you not need this Venerable to teach you?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I have had many dealings with the Sui Sect and know many of their secrets. If I were not afraid of Yang Shenjing's identity as the deputy hall master, I would have reported it long ago."
Jiang Xin understood that "Yao Qingxuan" wanted to control his life and death.
If you avoid the important issues and continue to go to the opposite ends, you will be courting death.
Having to choose between the imperial court and the Twin Rice Sect, he chose the latter.
Therefore, Jiang Xin was full of sincerity. He did not use a pen, but directly bit his finger and wrote with blood:
"Your Majesty, the Great Dao Ancestor, I, the prefectural elder Jiang Xin, hereby pay my respects in blood."
"Yang Shenjing of the Sui Sect is a tyrant. After entering Yuntian Xianyuan for more than a month, he used Luantai as a sharp knife to leak the secrets of the Divine Religion, causing the tragic deaths of dozens of masters of the Religion. He used this as an excuse to force the Divine Religion to retreat and secretly take over the Divine Religion's forces in Lingxiao City and the four major city gates. The same can be seen in other states."
"My faith is of low standard, so I can only kneel in submission, without the courage to resist or disobey."
"I heard that the second palace master, Xianmin, gave Yang Shenjing the Thousand-Year-Longevity Pill, intending to cultivate him into transcendence. The old man in Shenjing was born as a family servant, but he grew stronger by eating the food of the Jiuli clan leader. Now he is a disciple of Xianmin. The future of the Sui Sect is bright, and there are millions of sects to look forward to. We must devour the Shen Sect to serve the new master."
"Nanyanguan's deputy general Zhou Bida originally used thousands of methods to instigate rebellion in preparation for the rebellion of the Divine Religion, with internal and external support. Unexpectedly, the old thief Yang Shenjing and the little thief Yao Qian, in order to please the new master and eliminate dissidents, set up a trap with him, hoping to kill several birds with one stone."
"I have seen the letter and I am worried. I am burning with worry. If I do not report this, the foundation of the Divine Religion in Lingxiao City, the Four Passes, the eight core states, and the various strongholds in the southern border will surely be destroyed."
"Today, I will pour out all the cowardly blood in my body to report the ten major crimes of this old man in the Divine Realm."
"The first crime is selling disabled rice people to the three islands of barbarians to use as mounts and beasts for food."
"The second crime..."
…
For some reason, after finishing writing, Jiang Xin did not feel unhappy because he was forced. Instead, he felt a kind of excitement in his heart, as if he had wanted to report all of this for a long time.
Li Weiyi took back the blood letter and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but gasp and glanced at Jiang Xin who was kneeling below.
This old guy was really ruthless in order to survive! Every word written in blood was tearful.
The Ten Major Crimes were not simple. Some of them made Li Weiyi terrified, and he suspected that they were compiled by Jiang Xin.
For example, in the third crime, Yao Qian was involved in the death of two elders of the Twin Rice Sect in order to gain the appreciation and trust of the Second Palace Master.
How could he know such a secret? Li Weiyi seriously suspected that either Jiang Xin had suffered at the hands of Yao Qian, or he was jealous of Yao Qian.
Of course, it could also be a plan by the top leaders of Daojiao.
Even if it was true, Li Weiyi could understand it. After all, who in the Twin Rice Sect didn't have a bad record? How could it be so easy to lurk and gain trust?
If Yang Shenjing had done everything above board, he would never have achieved what he has today.
If Li Weiyi was completely exposed, An Xianjing would be able to kill him just for hiding Tang Wanzhou.
If the Dao Cult had not gone to the extreme of being evil and selfish, it would not have allowed An Xianjing to serve as the head of the Linggu Palace to clean up the mess.
It is impossible that everything written in blood is true. For example, Jiang Xin claimed that he had done his best to persuade Zhou Bida to rebel, which was clearly an attempt to take credit.
Li Weiyi put away the blood letter and said, "This is the responsibility of an elder! Where are Zhou Bi Da's family members being taken? I have to bring them back to the Divine Religion to serve as irrefutable evidence."
"Shenwu Hall, one of the four major gangs in Leiling City, is secretly managed by the Divine Cult."
The fear in Jiang Xin's eyes disappeared, knowing that his life was saved: "Nanyan Pass is very unsafe now. Do you need me to send you out of the city through secret channels?"
Li Weiyi didn't dare to stay with him any longer, and who knew if this old guy had other plans, so he couldn't underestimate the enemy: "If I can't even come and go freely in Nanyan Pass, how can I be worthy of being a Venerable? Get lost!"
After separating from Jiang Xin, Li Wei changed his clothes and appearance several times, transforming into a young man who looked like a servant, and headed towards the border between the third-level city area and the second-level city area.
The whole city is under martial law, and each city area is separated by formations and cannot be crossed.
Li Weiyi certainly didn't have the ability to leave the city safely.
But it is clear that once Jiang Xin comes out of his panic and regains his ability to think carefully, he might figure out something wrong, and that would be the real danger.
The family who wanted to save Zhou Bi Da wanted the plan to go smoothly...
Jiang Xin must die.
At the junction of the upper and lower cities, dozens of soldiers wearing black magic armor stood guard under the light veil of the formation. They held spears in their hands and had murderous expressions.
Li Weiyi walked into the alley next to him.
The alley is very deep, and the deeper it goes, the quieter it is.
Two children who were fighting over grass appeared in front of him. They were only about three or four years old. They were sitting on the ground and having a great time. Next to them was the open gate of the courtyard.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Li Weiyi used telekinesis to investigate and found that there were no adults in the yard.
Li Weiyi smiled friendly and said, "Whose children are you? Why don't you go home? Don't you know it's dangerous outside now?"
The two children looked at him timidly and didn't think he was a bad person, so they continued their fight over grass.
The so-called grass fighting means that each person picks some grass leaves to see whose is tougher.
Li Weiyi watched with interest for a while, then squatted down and took out a red blade of grass from his bag: "This is the toughest blade of grass in the world!"
This was a leaf of precious medicinal grass. It looked extremely extraordinary and attracted the two children.
One of the children was unwilling to accept the defeat and competed with Li Weiyi in picking grass. However, his grass broke into pieces one after another, while Li Weiyi's grass remained intact.
I saw his mouth pout and he was about to cry.
Li Weiyi took the blade of grass and waved it in front of him: "Whoever helps me do a small thing later, I will give him this invincible blade of destiny grass. From now on, he will be the strongest here."
The two children naturally competed with each other.
"I will choose the brave one, who must be manly. In addition to getting the Destiny Grass Leaf, this person will also have another benefit." Li Weiyi said.
…
The gate of Nanyan Pass was indeed closed, but that did not mean that everyone was unable to enter or exit.
In the afternoon, the convoy of the General's Mansion marched into the city gate. In addition to Taishi Bai, who was riding a strange beast in the front, and several retainers, there were three carriages.
No one dared to check.
When the convoy reached the border between the second and third city areas, the light veil of the formation had just opened.
"Taishi Bai...Brother Bai..."
A child of three or four years old, holding a letter, ran towards the convoy, constantly calling Taishi Bai's name.
The soldiers guarding the light veil of the formation intercepted with spears.
No one is allowed to get close to the nobleman.
Tai Shi Bai shouted in a deep voice: "What kind of ability is it to be cruel to a child? If you have the ability, go kill the monsters and conquer the evil cult."
He jumped off the beast's back, pushed the soldier aside, walked to the frightened child, rubbed his little head, squatted down and smiled softly, "Are you scared? How do you know my name? Who asked you to come?"
The child recovered from his shock and said seriously, "I'm not scared at all. I'm the most manly person in Nanyan Pass. Are you the Brother Bai that Big Brother is talking about?"
"If you are looking for Tai Shi Bai, then it's me!" Tai Shi Bai said.
"This is for you."
The child handed him the letter.
Tai Shi Bai had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. He looked around for anyone suspicious, then opened the envelope and read it quickly. His expression became more and more solemn, and finally his face suddenly changed.
He asked anxiously, "Where is the person who gave you the letter?"
The child pointed behind him.
By the time the child brought Tai Shi Bai into the alley, Li Weiyi had already left.
"Big brother said that after I deliver the letter, Brother Bai will give me a leaf as tough as the destiny grass." The child's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Destiny grass?"
Taishi Bai glanced at the blade of grass hidden in the child's arms, and then looked at the pile of broken grass on the ground. How could he not understand what the other party was doing? After asking about the man's appearance and age.
"This blade of grass of mine is more powerful than the Destiny Grass. Keep it well and don't let other kids snatch it away."
Taishi Bai took off the "Silver Thorn Grass" embroidered on his robe, which symbolized the glory of the Taishi family, and handed it to him. He walked out of the alley and came under the light veil of the formation. He ordered the two soldiers: "Look after the child for the next period of time. If anything happens to him, you will be held responsible."
Taishi Bai walked quickly to Long's carriage and handed the letter in.
Release the external manifestation of Tao heart and cover the surroundings.
