Song Yanzhuo's purpose in coming to the black market was simple: to find someone.
That person was a spy he had planted in the Hengyang Sect at a high price after confirming that Qiyue's thoughts were accurate.
Qiyue was stunned when she saw the person, or rather, when she heard the voice.
That person was none other than Qiyue, no, someone the original owner knew well—an elder and deputy head of the Hengyang Sect's Enforcement Hall.
Ouyang Zhen.
Qi Yue never expected that this person would betray Hengyang Sect. You should know that in the original work, he was a very loyal person. His son, Ouyang Feng, was also a super sycophant of Xia Wanqing. Although he did not get Xia Wanqing's pen, his loyalty made him an important friend of Xia Wanqing.
It rose rapidly all the way up.
"Long time no see, Elder Ouyang." Qiyue's voice was slightly cold.
Ouyang Zhen looked at Qiyue: "I didn't expect you to come too. I know what you're worried about, but we're friends now."
"What's the reason?"
“My son is dead.” Ouyang Zhen’s voice was very calm, so calm that it seemed as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him. But no matter how calm his voice was, his tightly clenched fists with bulging veins showed that he was trying his best to endure.
"???" Qiyue was shocked. She was really shocked, but she still couldn't believe it.
However, she still tentatively said a name: "It's Xia Wanqing."
"Hmm." That single word contained a torrent of resentment and anger.
Qiyue immediately sensed that something big must have happened at Hengyang Sect, but she still couldn't trust Ouyang Zhen.
People are all hypocritical and selfish, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. The Hengyang Sect is a prime example of this.
She looked at Xie Ji'an and transmitted her thoughts: "Senior Brother, I don't trust this person. Go and find someone for me. There's a symbol at her door that's a pair of wings. Bring her here."
"good."
Xie Ji'an did not hesitate or ask. In his heart, whatever his junior sister did, she had her reasons.
The person Qiyue sought out was no ordinary individual; she was a child of a demon and a human, a soul-searching master named Xiya who was despised by both the human and demon realms.
This is a method unique to demons and demonic cultivators.
"Ten days from now, the disciples of Hengyang Sect will have a training exercise, and the person leading the team will be Xia Wanqing."
"Ten days later? Isn't that the time when Hengyang Sect recruits disciples? As the sect leader's daughter's personal disciple, why would Xia Wanqing choose to go down the mountain for training at this time?"
July didn't believe it.
Ouyang Zhen looked at her and said, "I don't know the specific reasons. I only know that her personality has changed drastically since she failed to break through not long ago. This trial was very sudden, and it was her own idea."
"Junior Sister, the person you asked for has arrived." Xie Ji'an's voice came from behind, and Qi Yue looked at Ouyang Zhen with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Elder Ouyang, let me introduce you. This is a renowned Soul Searcher in the black market. Although you are cooperating with my senior brother, as his junior sister and considering the character of the Hengyang Sect, I have reason to suspect that you are luring us into a trap."
"What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning." Qiyue's voice lacked its usual liveliness and cuteness, and was completely devoid of any emotion.
A deathly silence fell over the group. Their eyes were fixed on Ouyang Zhen's face, which was covered by a mask. Qi Yue's gaze was icy cold.
Looking into those eyes, Ouyang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine. He knew Qiyue well, but the eyes of the person in front of him seemed like those of a venomous snake.
After a long silence, Ouyang Zhen closed his eyes and nodded silently, agreeing.
The truth made Qiyue feel somewhat satisfied.
It turned out that after she broke through and left Hengyang Sect that night, the people of Hengyang Sect found Xia Wanqing, who was seriously injured. The heavenly lightning of Qingzhu Peak was so real that everyone thought Xia Wanqing was a genius among geniuses, but her serious injury and failure to break through the realm "told" everyone that she had failed.
When Xia Wanqing woke up, her mind was filled with thoughts of Qiyue, while within the sect, there were discussions about her being all show and no substance, and contempt for her simply because she had a good background.
She remained outwardly gentle, but behind the scenes, she would use sparring as a pretext to beat one disciple after another who looked down on her half to death, and then give them some benefits afterward.
Or they might use the pretext of exorcising demons or evil cultivators to take their disciples down the mountain for trials, only to cause the disciples' deaths and the loss of their cultivation.
As for Ouyang Feng's downfall as a sycophant, half a month ago, Ouyang Feng followed Xia Wanqing down the mountain. After he shielded Xia Wanqing from a demonic cultivator's attack and Xia Wanqing fell off the cliff and separated from the group, he noticed that Xia Wanqing's Dao heart seemed unstable while she was cultivating, so he took the initiative to ask if something had happened.
Seeing Ouyang Feng, who had always treated her with the same care as Ye Qingyu, Xia Wanqing, who had been holding back for too long, finally revealed the news of Qiyue's breakthrough at Qingzhu Peak.
In Ouyang Feng's eyes and heart, no matter what others say, whether in the past or now, Xia Wanqing has always been that shining junior sister. Not to mention Xia Wanqing's change of spiritual root, because his father is an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, and he knows about it.
Furthermore, he was unaware that Qiyue possessed a spiritual root, so in his eyes, Qiyue was nothing more than a useless person with a worthless spiritual root.
He didn't believe Xia Wanqing's words at all, and thought that Xia Wanqing was guilty because she had taken away Qiyue's spiritual root and that her Dao heart was unstable, so she was deceiving him like this.
Even so, because he loved Xia Wanqing, he praised and encouraged her, and vowed to always stand by her side. But Xia Wanqing was not stupid. She saw that Ouyang Feng did not believe her, so she saw his sincerity as contempt and ridicule.
She killed Ouyang Feng.
To destroy the evidence, Xia Wanqing fed the corpse to the monsters in the forest. After returning to the sect, she shed crocodile tears, weeping bitterly and heartbroken, claiming that Ouyang Feng was killed by evil cultivators. She also vowed that as her junior sister, she would avenge Ouyang Feng.
