Chapter 857 Huo Tianyang
There is no doubt that after eavesdropping on the conversation between several people from the Jiuzhen Sect, Wei Changtian realized that there was no need to arrest anyone and force a confession.
These people only acted on the orders of the leader of the Jiuzhen Sect, and they didn't know anything else.
Therefore, even if we arrest him and interrogate him, we probably won't get anything out of him. It's better not to alert the enemy.
However, Wei Changtian’s trip tonight was not in vain, as he did get some information.
The leader of the Jiuzhen Sect left the compound and was on the way to the Tengu Army camp outside the city. Wei Changtian racked his brains for a long time but could not think of any information about this person.
Not only has it never been heard of in real life, it is not even mentioned in "The Peak of Martial Arts".
This means that I have never had any contact with this person before.
If we consider that the other six assassins were not members of the Jiuzhen Sect, but still participated in the action, there is no doubt that the real mastermind behind this must be someone else.
Moreover, this person has great "energy" and may even be the most powerful "big shot" that he has ever met.
As for who he is, Wei Changtian once guessed that it was Chu Xianping, and even guessed if it was Xu Suisui.
But if they wanted to help me, they wouldn't use such obscure means.
More importantly, neither of these two people possesses such "supernatural powers", at least they can be said to have the power to cover the sky with one hand in Daqian.
Based on Wei Changtian's current understanding, it seems that only Kuilong can achieve such power.
Kuilong Thinking of this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but frown.
Under which branch of Kuilong is Daqian under the jurisdiction of?
It doesn’t seem to be Yan Huanwen’s Bingyi, nor Zhuang Zhiming’s Bingsan. Forget it. I’ll find time to ask the residual soul in the Xuantian Sword.
Besides, the mysterious man might not be Kuilong's man. While hurrying on the road, thinking about what happened tonight, Wei Changtian arrived at the Tengu Army camp outside the city about half an hour later.
In order to have a safe place to interrogate the person, Li Zimu had been waiting here for a long time.
But when she saw Wei Changkong returning empty-handed, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Sir, didn't you succeed?"
“No.”
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian waved his hand to signal several soldiers in the tent to go out, and then recounted what had just happened.
Li Zimu's expression did not change much after listening to this. He just analyzed thoughtfully: "Sir, no matter who this person is, he must have a purpose for doing this."
"From the looks of it, he probably doesn't want the young master to negotiate peace with Daqian. It would be best if both sides suffered losses so that he can benefit from it."
"If you think so, this person is your enemy."
"but."
"But he could also be helping me."
Wei Changtian nodded and continued, "I was wondering what reason I could come up with to coerce Su Qi into tricking Jing Guoqing to Linchuan, and this happened."
"If it's not a coincidence, then this person must have chosen the right time to do this intentionally."
"Well, that's what I think."
Li Zimu replied softly, "It's just that it's hard to come to a conclusion right now. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the Jiuzhen Sect once to find out."
"Nine True Sects"
Rubbing his forehead, Wei Changtian didn't say whether to go or not.
He is still quite hesitant now.
On the one hand, if one wants to find out the identity of this mysterious man, the leader of the Jiuzhen Sect is the only clue at the moment.
But on the other hand, the current situation in Linchuan City does not allow him to leave for too long, and the Nine True Sect is still somewhere unknown. "Let's find someone to ask about the Nine True Sect first."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian was not in a hurry to make a decision. He planned to learn more about the background of the Jiuzhen Sect before making any plans.
Upon hearing this, Li Zimu said no more. He left the tent and soon returned with a surrendered soldier from Daqian.
"Sir, this person is said to have been a disciple of the Jiuzhen Sect and is quite familiar with the affairs of the sect."
"Um"
Looking up at the somewhat nervous soldier, Wei Changtian asked casually, "What's your name?"
"Reply, reply, sir."
The soldier swallowed his saliva and stammered, "My name is Liu Hu."
"Oh, Liu Hu, right?"
Wei Changtian nodded: "Next, you answer whatever I ask. If you don't know, just say you don't know. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
“.”
In the next quarter of an hour, Wei Changtian basically understood the situation of the Jiuzhen Sect.
The Jiuzhen Sect is the greatest pope in Daqian. Its main gate is located in Kangjiang Prefecture, Daqian, about two thousand miles away from Linchuan.
Including its leader, the Jiuzhen Sect has a total of four second-grade masters, and its strength is extraordinary.
You should know that although there are many sects in Daning and Dashu, it is already remarkable to have one second-grade master in a sect. No sect has ever had two or more second-grade masters.
However, the Jiuzhen Sect has four, which is undoubtedly an exaggeration.
Moreover, its leader Huo Tianyang is the undisputed number one in Daqian.
Huo Tianyang. Wei Changtian had no impression of this name, which once again proved that he had no previous connection with this person.
However, something that the soldier named Liu Hu mentioned by chance caught Wei Changtian's attention.
It is said that Huo Tianyang was not the leader of the Jiuzhen Sect before, and he was not very powerful.
But just over two years ago, his strength suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. Not only did he break through the second-grade realm that had bound him for more than a decade, but he even continued to rise. In just one year, he soared from the early second-grade realm to the late second-grade realm.
Of course, this speed is nothing compared to Wei Changtian's.
But looking around the world, this is unheard of.
Not only did his realm skyrocket, the strength Huo Tianyang displayed was also able to crush opponents at the same realm. Even the old leader of the Jiuzhen Sect was no match for him.
To put it simply, you are invincible in Daqian.
So just like that, Huo Tianyang naturally took over the Jiuzhen Sect and became the 28th leader of the Jiuzhen Sect.
Moreover, he is the strongest person in the Jiuzhen Sect since its establishment. Regarding Huo Tianyang’s “history of making a fortune”, it seems nothing at first glance. It must be that he got some great opportunity two years ago, so this is the case.
Although Huo Tianyang never told anyone the reason, everyone thought so.
The same goes for Wei Changtian, who just heard about this for the first time today.
The only thing is that the timing is a bit too coincidental.
Wasn’t it two years ago when I killed Xiao Feng, and then the system was updated, and thirteen Sons of Heaven appeared “out of thin air”?
With Huo Tianyang's "development speed", he is a little too similar to the Son of Heaven.
But he is not on the list given by the system.
Daqian has only one son of heaven, and that is Xu Quan.
Could it be that Huo Tianyang was a pseudonym? Did he come to Daqian after becoming the Son of Heaven? That 's not right. According to Liu Hu, Huo Tianyang had always been in the Nine True Sect, but he was just an elder before. "What does your leader look like? What weapon does he use? How old is he?"
After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian asked the soldier in front of him again: "Tell me everything you know about him in detail."
"yes"
The man named Liu Hu thought hard for a while, then answered in a low voice:
"Sir, the leader should be nearly 70 years old this year. He uses a sword. Does it look like that?"
“.”
Soon, Liu Hu talked a lot about Huo Tianyang's situation, but Wei Changtian didn't hear anything unusual.
Until the former suddenly remembered something at a certain moment——
"By the way, the leader once had an adopted son, who seemed to be an orphan. He was brought back by the leader when he was away on business more than ten years ago."
"It's a pity that this boy died of illness two years ago."
