"Well...if it's really as you guessed, then many of the strange phenomena before can be explained." Sheng Nanxi thought for a moment and nodded.

"The Xianyuan Sect had been undercover beside King Kang, but half a month ago, they were instructed by the people behind the scenes to sell a lot of intelligence to the Xirong people, and attacked King Kang when the Xirong people were rushing to the border. Previously, when the Xirong troops were pressing on the border, King Kang did not receive any news for a long time. It must be their credit."

"A few days ago, both King Kang and the Xianyuan followers were preparing their own plans. King Kang intended to join forces with the Xirong people to resist the court, while the Xianyuan followers planned to take the opportunity to induce the Xirong people to rebel and kill King Kang by surprise."

"While they were preparing to strike, they guessed that we were very likely to pass by. Neither side wanted us to ruin their plans, so they lied that an epidemic had broken out and the city needed to be closed, intending to stop us."

"Tsk, tsk..." Sheng Nanxi looked at the herb field that was mostly burned again, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"I am now more interested in Xianyuan Sect than in King Kang... In their eyes, the ruins of Gaochang City are nothing more than bait for the Xirong people and King Kang to fight among themselves. Knowing that we are coming, they just burn down the manor and medicine fields stretching over hundreds of acres, and they don't feel sorry at all?"

"Well... not entirely because they don't lack these things." Gu Yuancheng's eyes flashed with interest.

"Even more, because the other party has great ambitions, he knows that even if he gives up so many treasures now, he will definitely get double the amount back in the future."

Nanxi Sheng suddenly thought of this possibility, and her expression slightly faltered.

The treasures found in the ruins of Gaochang were worth at least half of the treasury of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

"Take it back twice as much"? Is this guy trying to steal the country? Or is he planning something bigger?!

Sheng Nancy always felt that even if the poison from her grandmother and eldest brother was not from the Xianyuan sect, it should have some connection with the forces behind them.

And she felt that after her family was exiled, the plot seemed to have collapsed too quickly, and it didn't seem like she had a butterfly effect due to her time travel. Somehow, she always felt that the person who tampered with the plot might be related to the people behind the Xianyuan Sect.

Not only is the opponent powerful, but he is also always behind the scenes, and has attacked his family many times without leaving any trace. He is currently the biggest threat to the Sheng family.

Thinking of this, even Sheng Nanxi's expression became serious for once.

Gu Yuancheng rubbed her head and consoled her with a smile: "Xi'er, don't be sad. We are now a little closer to the truth. Isn't it?"

"It is true that a powerful opponent hiding in the dark will make people feel scared. From another perspective, doesn't it mean that the opponent is not strong enough and can only hide in the dark to attack?"

"Yeah." Sheng Nanxi immediately smiled.

"Why are humans so afraid of dark rats? Now that we know rats exist, we should prepare more rat-killing tools and clean up the rats no matter how deep they hide!"

Sheng Nanxi thought she was a calm person, but she didn't expect that Gu Yuancheng, despite his age, was more emotionally stable than her. All the worries in her heart disappeared in an instant.

He took out two strawberry-flavored lollipops from the space, took one for himself and fed one to Xiao Zhengtai, then waved his hand, collected the strange soil in the medicine garden into the space, and began a new round of harvesting.

The test results showed that the soil was indeed rich in organic substances and microorganisms that helped plants grow, but they had not yet figured out why these rare herbs could grow out of season. They had no choice but to store them all in the space and conduct further research later.

After the two of them collected all the supplies from the main altar of the Xianyuan Sect, they teleported to another similar yard.

As soon as she landed, Xiao Zhengtai reported the information he had just obtained to her: "This is the room and yard of King Kang. His only son should be the young master of the Xianyuan Sect now."

"Oh my god... a young woman killed her husband!"

As soon as Sheng Nanxi flashed into the main courtyard, she saw a group of Prince Kang's personal guards lying dead. There was also a half-burned male corpse in the main room. Judging from the style of his clothes, wasn't it Prince Kang? !

Gu Yuancheng took the lead and used his dagger to poke behind the male corpse's ear to confirm that he was not wearing any mask. He nodded and said:

"From the perspective of his clothing, height and appearance, he does look like King Kang himself."

Xiao Zhengtai really didn't expect that King Kang, who was always cunning and scheming, died so easily, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Yes." Sheng Nanxi nodded. "The shocked expression on this man's face before his death didn't seem like he was acting. If he really was King Kang, it fits our previous guess."

Knowing that the powerful person he had supported and the person next to him had always betrayed him, this person probably suffered a lot of psychological trauma before his death.

However, although all the clues seem to match, it cannot be ruled out that the person lying on the bed is a stand-in.

Sheng Nanxi thought about it and immediately gave an order behind her. "Send someone to deliver a message to Princess Kang and ask her to come and confirm whether this is her ex-husband."

Wang Sirou had loved Prince Kang badly before, and perhaps no one in this world understood that old man's body better than she did.

Even if the death was just a substitute, Sheng Nanxi didn't mind it.

After all, judging from the number of corpses of the personal guards, there are not many remnants of King Kang left. Moreover, the hatred between the Wang sisters and him is much deeper than that between him and himself. It is better to leave the matter of King Kang's remnants to them.

Upon hearing the milkman's order, Xuanying subconsciously led a team of people to escape without even having time to ask for his subordinate Gu Yuancheng's opinion.

Gu Yuancheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and nodded in approval of this behavior of treating Xi'er as the real master.

Sheng Nanxi had no intention of exploring other people's emotional disputes. With a wave of her hand, she cleared out the valuables in the house, and then took Xiao Zhengtai to search for the remaining illegal gains in the Kangwang Villa.

As the two of them collected, they discovered a courtyard with a very complicated layout of organs. They circled the courtyard several times and fiddled with it for half an hour before they finally unlocked the gate formation.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a very pungent, sour, rotten smell. After walking a little further inside, I found dozens of cell-like compartments. Inside were people with haggard faces and dull eyes.

Aren’t they Wang Yun and a group of important generals of the Northwest Army who were under house arrest? !

For some unknown reason, all the Xianyuan followers withdrew without taking them with them.

Sheng Nanxi waved her fat claws, and the locks on dozens of cells melted away in an instant, and the two rows of cell doors on the left and right opened. She immediately asked the hidden guards to carry all the people over, and she checked their injuries one by one.

As she expected, these dozens of people were all in a coma, and each of them had been subjected to more than one Xianyuan Sect illusion. Moreover, many of them had been poisoned with several rare poisons, which were obviously used by the other party to torture them!

Wang Yun, the oldest, was poisoned the most, and his father's heart was not good. At this time, he was in a state of shock!
