Chapter 424 The Man Behind the Scenes
When Guan Qingxiao and the other four regained consciousness, they suddenly realized that they were no longer on that dangerous street.
The five people instantly became alert and subconsciously looked for their weapons.
But just as they grasped the hilt of the sword, they heard a female voice in this strange courtyard: "Don't be nervous, no one wants to plot against you, I saved you."
They were startled and turned to look at the source of the sound.
But in the yard, a beautiful orchid was quietly blooming, but this orchid, full of vitality, was incompatible with the fourth world filled with bloody and evil aura.
In just a moment, Guan Qingxiao figured out who the orchid in front of him was. He bowed respectfully to the other party and said, "You Lan Xian Zun, long time no see."
The orchid shook slightly, and a female shadow quickly emerged: "It turned out to be you, Guan Qingxiao. I didn't expect that you are still alive after not seeing you for so long. I thought you were really dead."
Hearing her surprised tone, Guan Qingxiao smiled helplessly: "Thanks to the care of Immortal Zhiyue, I was able to save my life. It's a pity that I didn't get to see Immortal Zhiyue for the last time."
At that time, he originally wanted to go to Lanyue Palace with Xie Liuyin, but on the one hand, his cultivation level was different from Xie Liuyin's, and the other party was faster, so bringing him along would be a burden.
Secondly, the people of Immortal Emperor Haotian might still be lingering around Lanyue Palace. Now that the matter of Immortal Lord Zhiyue has not been resolved, everyone is worried that he will be discovered if he goes there.
Wouldn't the Lanyue Palace be attacked from all sides by then?
But Guan Qingxiao had not expected that the Immortal Master Zhiyue would fall so quickly, and in the end he only had time to see the other party's cenotaph.
It had been a long time since Immortal Venerable Youlan had heard anyone mention Immortal Venerable Zhiyue. Thinking of her best friend, her mood suddenly became even more complicated.
But the sadness of the two was quickly suppressed, and they began to exchange information about the Fourth Heaven.
These days, Youlan Immortal Venerable was either hiding underground or in the house. Since she escaped from the place where she was imprisoned, she really hadn't seen the immortals here.
After learning from Guan Qingxiao and others that the immortals who were still alive had been corrupted by the blood evil and turned into bloodthirsty monsters, Immortal Venerable Youlan's face turned pale as paper. He never expected things to turn out like this.
She held her forehead, her eyes full of regret and self-blame.
"Does Immortal Venerable know what is going on?" Guan Qingxiao saw that Immortal Venerable Youlan was in a bad mood, so he asked hurriedly.
Immortal Venerable Youlan closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and then slowly told them about his experiences in the past few days.
When these people heard about the formations buried underground, a shadow fell over their hearts.
Guan Qingxiao said, "The people who set up the formations must have planned it all along, waiting for you to fall into the trap. But do these two formations have any other effects besides making you lose your mind? I always feel that the other party spent so much effort to design these, not just to make you lose manpower."
Immortal Venerable Youlan also had doubts about this, but she did not understand formations, so she did not know much about it.
Guan Qingxiao and the others did not regret not getting an answer from her. They had already planned to find a way to capture Haotian and pry open his mouth.
Because according to what Immortal Venerable Youlan said at the beginning, Haotian and Minghai inexplicably placed people in the places of several immortals, and it is very likely that they were also looking for people to set up these formations.
Guan Qingxiao told his guess to Youlan Immortal Venerable, who suddenly realized, "This makes sense! Haotian and Minghai arranged for the spy to go to our place right after the Fourth Heaven incident."
I think the other party also discovered the strange formation and realized that someone was instigating it, so he suspected the other immortals.
But now almost all the Immortal Lords have reached the fourth level and fallen into this bigger trap. Now they are also corroded by the blood evil and have become something that is neither immortal nor ghost.
After thinking for a while, Immortal Venerable Youlan couldn't find anyone who fits the description of the person behind the scenes.
She said, "All the Immortal Lords have come to the Fourth Heaven, and before I separated from them, I could clearly see that their consciousness had been corroded by the blood evil and the formation. If this was done by one of them, they wouldn't be stupid enough to get themselves into this trouble."
"The only one who was not invited was Immortal Master Jingchen. But he had just ascended to Immortal Master not long ago, and he had never been to the Fourth Heaven before, so it was impossible for him to make these arrangements."
Even if Immortal Venerable Youlan had not mentioned Immortal Venerable Jingchen's choice, Guan Qingxiao and others would not have suspected her.
After all, how could they not know what their own children are like?
If Xie Liuyin had this ability, he wouldn't have to practice so hard now just to be able to deal with Haotian and his men.
However, Guan Qingxiao and the others didn't say much, they just listened quietly.
After Youlan Immortal Venerable finished speaking, he became clearer and slowly spoke: "If all the Immortal Venerables are fine, the two Immortal Emperors of the Fourth Heaven would not be able to attack me now. Then, there is probably only one person left who has the ability to do this."
Immortal Venerable Youlan wanted to ask who this person was, but something suddenly flashed through her mind and her eyes widened instantly.
"You mean, the one above?" You Lan Xian Zun couldn't believe it. "How could it be him? But for so many years, that person has clearly never interfered in the affairs of the fairy world, and he is a very timid person. How could he have the courage to plot against so many of us?"
Guan Qingxiao only gave Immortal Venerable Youlan a look, and she thought that there was a fifth heaven above the fourth heaven.
The master of the fifth heaven is also an Immortal Emperor, and the only person in the entire immortal world who can do all this.
But recalling the other party's performance over the years, Immortal Venerable Youlan could not connect him with the mastermind who set up so many formations and killed so many people.
Guan Qingxiao sighed and said, "If that person was really as harmless as he appeared to be, he would not be able to sit on the throne of the Immortal Emperor now."
Immortal Venerable Youlan was stunned when he heard this. Yes, in the early years, the competition for resources in the fairy world was no less intense than that in the world of cultivation.
If the Immortal Emperor Wuzhen was really so innocent, there was no way he could have become the Immortal Emperor and he would probably have died at the hands of other immortals.
But the other party not only became the Immortal Emperor, but now also occupies the entire Fifth Heaven, and has countless treasures in his hands.
How could such a person have his current position of power if he didn't have some tricks?
It’s just that they were all deceived by the performance of the Immortal Emperor Wuzhen in the past. In addition, the other party never left the fifth level and was so quiet that he seemed to be non-existent, which made everyone ignore him.
Now Guan Qingxiao directly brought this person up and said that Immortal Venerable Youlan had thought about everyone, but could not find anyone more suspicious than Immortal Emperor Wuzhen.
They finally realized that the person who hid the best was the murderer who caused everything today!
