After saying that, Wang Yang didn't wait for Kou Zhong to react before walking straight towards the small town ahead.
Yang Xiao and the others were all bewildered and confused, not yet understanding what was going on.
After a brief pause, the group glanced at Kou Zhong before chasing after Wang Yang.
"Brother Kou Zhong, my alliance leader isn't as cunning and treacherous as you think!"
Before leaving, the Green-Winged Bat King glanced at Kou Zhong and uttered these words.
Before long, Wang Yang and his group had gradually gone far away.
Kou Zhongchu stood there, staring intently at the backs of Wang Yang and the others.
Suddenly, a flash of determination appeared in his eyes.
Looking again, they saw that Kou Zhong had already quickly chased after them.
Before long, Kou Zhongren caught up with Wang Yang and said apologetically:
"Alliance Leader Wang, I am truly sorry for what happened earlier."
"Since the alliance leader knows about my situation, he should be able to understand me."
Kou Zhong stared straight at Wang Yang, his face full of sincerity.
Wang Yang didn't say anything, only smiled calmly at Kou Zhong, and didn't stop walking at all.
Before long, Wang Yang and his group arrived at the small town ahead and found an inn to stay overnight.
After ordering some food and drinks, everyone began to eat and drink in the hall.
"Brother Wang, what kind of treasure does Kou Zhong have?"
While they were eating, Zhou Botong suddenly leaned close to Wang Yang and whispered a question, while also glancing at Kou Zhong sitting at the other end.
"Old rascal, if you're so eager to know, why don't you just ask him yourself?"
Wang Yang said calmly.
Zhou Botong looked embarrassed and replied:
"That kid is very wary, even you, Brother Wang, are on guard. If I just go and ask him like this, wouldn't I be putting myself in a difficult position?"
"Besides, Brother Wang, you know everything, so why don't you just tell me directly?"
Wang Yang glanced at himself, looking thoughtful.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Old rascal, I'm really sorry, I can't tell you."
"After all, Kou Zhong is right here. If I just say this to you, wouldn't that be like revealing his secret in front of others?"
Zhou Botong was taken aback. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but swallowed the words back down.
After a slight pause, he returned to his seat, looking somewhat dejected, pouting as if he had been wronged.
Just then, Yang Xiao, who was standing to the side, smiled and looked at Zhou Botong, and said:
"Old rascal, you didn't get what you wanted from the Alliance Leader, did you?"
"Hmm?"
Zhou Botong was taken aback, glanced at Yang Xiao, and said:
"how?"
"Left Envoy Yang, do you perhaps know something here?"
Yang Xiao smiled mysteriously, his expression meaningful, and said:
"There are indeed some speculations."
Upon hearing Yang Xiao's words, Zhou Botong immediately became interested and quickly moved his chair closer to Yang Xiao.
"Left Envoy Yang, what's your guess? Tell me about it."
Yang Xiao paused for a moment, then whispered:
"Old rascal, do you still remember those martial arts figures from the Tang Dynasty that you met before?"
"They mentioned that the secret to immortality was in two people."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Botong suddenly understood something, and his face turned pale with shock.
"You mean, Kou Zhong is one of those two, and he possesses the secret to immortality?"
Zhou Botong lowered his voice as much as possible, his face full of disbelief.
Yang Xiao neither agreed nor disagreed, but nodded and said:
"That's right."
"As the alliance leader mentioned earlier, Kou Zhong also has a brother he grew up with."
"They obtained Taoist teachings by chance."
"Note that the leader is referring to Taoism!"
"Isn't cultivating immortality precisely the pursuit of life by Taoists?"
"Could this be related to the Longevity Formula?"
Upon hearing Yang Xiao's words, Zhou Botong's eyes lit up.
He became even more certain that Kou Zhong must possess the secret to immortality.
"I see!"
He couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Yang Xiao with a shocked expression.
"Um?"
Suddenly being stared at like that by Zhou Botong, Yang Xiao frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Old rascal, why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Botong chuckled and said:
"Left Envoy Yang, I didn't realize you were so clever!"
Hearing Zhou Botong's praise, Yang Xiao smiled wryly.
It's unclear whether Zhou Botong was praising himself or making fun of himself.
Although the two were speaking very quietly, Wang Yang still overheard them.
However, Wang Yang didn't care, thinking that it wasn't surprising that Yang Xiao was smart enough to guess these things.
Besides, Wang Yang believed that among their large group of people...
Yang Xiao was probably not the only one who could deduce that Kou Zhong possessed the secret of immortality.
On the other side, Kou Zhong looked preoccupied.
In particular, seeing Zhou Botong and the others whispering among themselves made him even more uneasy.
For a moment, Kou Zhong couldn't contain himself any longer and got up to walk straight towards Wang Yang.
"Um?"
Seeing Kou Zhong step forward, Wang Yang frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Brother Kou, what's wrong?"
"call!"
Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said directly:
"Alliance Leader Wang, everyone!"
As he spoke, Kou Zhong glanced at everyone present and then said:
"To be honest, what I possess most of is the secret of immortality."
"I'm sure you've all heard about it."
"Nowadays, in this world of the Tang Dynasty, all sorts of sects and factions are chasing after me and my brother."
"Their goal is to steal the secret of immortality from us."
As Kou Zhong revealed the truth, Wang Yang remained calm and composed, after all, he had long known that the Longevity Scripture was with Kou Zhong.
Upon hearing this, some of Zhao Min and the others appeared shocked, while others remained calm.
It's not hard to see that some of them had already guessed all of this.
After a brief silence, Wang Yang spoke:
"Brother Kou, you didn't really need to say it."
Kou Zhong pursed his lips and explained:
"Previously, Alliance Leader Wang invited me to travel with you all and wanted me to be your guide."
"Now that I've come along, I shouldn't hide anything from everyone."
"Be honest and upright, and even if you are schemed against, just strive to have a clear conscience!"
Upon hearing Kou Zhong's words, Zhao Min frowned and quickly said:
"Kou Zhong, what do you mean by that?"
"Do you think one of us is plotting against you?"
Kou Zhong remained calm and quickly explained:
"Miss Zhao, please don't misunderstand. I was just expressing my thoughts and didn't mean anything else."
Zhao Min chuckled and said irritably:
"The young master made it very clear to you before that he has no interest whatsoever in the longevity formula you possess."
"Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Longevity Technique is an extraordinary skill and supernatural power."
"It even caused a stir throughout the entire martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty."
"But in the eyes of the young master and us, your longevity formula is nothing but a hot potato!"
