Chapter 866 The First Step of the Plan
Facing the "uninvited" Wei Changtian, the four members of the Jiuzhen Sect had actually already guessed that the former needed to use them to do something.
Otherwise there is no way they would still be standing here alive.
It was obvious that the four of them believed that Wei Changtian dared to kill them and was able to kill them.
Therefore, if they want to survive now, they naturally cannot say a word of "no".
"Prince Wei"
After taking a deep look at Wei Changtian, the old man in yellow regained his composure.
His tone was no longer panicked, but it was not humble or arrogant either. He just asked with a little nervousness:
"You want to know who was behind yesterday's incident?"
"I already know that."
Wei Changtian smiled and answered casually: "Isn't it your leader?"
“.”
After looking at each other, the four of them suddenly looked shocked.
But before they could come to their senses, they heard Wei Changtian continue:
"But in fact, he is not the real person behind the scenes."
"Or maybe Huo Tianyang was just being instructed by someone."
"I think you have already guessed this, right?"
"this."
Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the old man in yellow probably couldn't understand how Wei Changtian knew all this.
But this is not important now. What is important is, "Wei, Prince Wei, you want to..."
"Yes, I want to find out who this person is."
Wei Changtian slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said calmly:
"So I need your help."
"As long as you agree, I will not pursue the matter of yesterday, and the benefits I give you will definitely not be less than what that person gave you."
"But if you don't agree, or if you do anything insincere in the future, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be."
"Think about it carefully."
“.”
The tea has a mellow aroma, and a few green leaves are swirling in the cup.
After Wei Changtian put the teacup back to its original place, he stopped talking and his expression remained very calm.
The four people standing in front of him swallowed subconsciously at the same time, feeling extremely conflicted.
There is no doubt that if they agreed to Wei Changtian, they would be betraying the Jiuzhen Sect and Huo Tianyang.
Even if they put aside the words "loyalty and righteousness", the four of them knew that this would definitely lead to revenge from the Jiuzhen Sect in the future.
But if you don't agree, you don't have to wait until "later", you will die now. "Wei, Master Wei, we agree."
After exchanging glances silently, the old man in yellow finally gave what seemed to be the only answer after more than ten breaths.
At this moment, he might be thinking about saving his life first and then considering which side to stand on later.
But how could Wei Changtian give him this opportunity?
"Okay, since you agreed, take this pill."
“Swish!”
With a casual wave of his hand, four small jade bottles shot out from his sleeves.
The four of them reached out to take it in panic, already knowing that the bottle must contain a poison specifically used to control others.
"Big brother."
Looking at the jade bottles in their hands, the three of them turned to look at the old man in yellow with some hesitation.
The latter did not say anything, but just stared at Wei Changtian for a long time, then slowly poured out the puppet pill in the bottle into his palm, and then swallowed it into his mouth.
“.”
Seeing the old man in yellow taking the pill first, the other three people, no matter what they thought in their hearts, understood that they had no other choice at this moment.
Therefore, the three of them quickly gritted their teeth and took the black pill that could decide their life or death and completely changed their fate.
The mysterious aura appeared and disappeared, but after two or three breaths, everything returned to normal.
Taking the Puppet Pill does not cause any pain, but at this moment the expressions of the four people all showed an unspeakable bitterness.
Wei Changtian only used a few words to make the last struggle and guilt in their hearts disappear into nothing.
"The four seniors can rest assured."
"Since you have taken the elixir, I will keep you safe from now on."
"And if nothing unexpected happens, the Jiuzhen Sect will be yours in a month at most."
“.”
Their eyes suddenly widened. How could the four of them not understand the meaning of this sentence?
After a brief moment of shock, the pain on their faces completely disappeared, and was replaced by an excitement of "giving it a try".
"Sir, I wonder what we are going to do next?"
The tone was no longer hesitant, and the voice became firmer.
The old man in yellow changed his attitude and asked respectfully, "We really don't know why the leader, no, Huo Tianyang wants to kill you, and we don't know who is behind him."
"But I think this person must be an important figure. May I ask how you plan to find out his identity?"
"Don't worry about this."
Standing up slowly, Wei Changtian said with a smile: "Four seniors, before that, you have another thing to do."
"Another thing?"
The old man in yellow was slightly stunned, and immediately responded: "Just follow my orders, sir!"
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded slightly and turned to look at the rising sun outside the window.
"Didn't Su Qi just send someone to invite you to the government office to discuss matters?"
"Don't delay."
“.”
On the other side, Linchuan government office.
"What?!"
Just as Wei Changtian leisurely walked out of the compound where the four members of the Jiuzhen Sect lived, Su Qi's face suddenly became extremely ugly in the study of the government office.
Looking at the black-clad officer opposite him, he asked hoarsely, almost word by word: "Is it really Wei Changtian?"
"It's him! I will never admit my mistake!"
The black-clad officer quickly replied, "He was probably going to look for the Nine True Sect members, but he didn't expect to run into me."
“.”
Su Qi frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Did they fight?"
"I didn't fight before I left, so I don't know what happened afterwards."
The black-clad officer answered truthfully again, then lowered his head and whispered:
"By the way, sir, Wei Changtian said a few words before letting me go, saying that they were for you."
"What did he say?!"
Su Qi raised his head suddenly, feeling a sudden sense of uneasiness in his heart.
And the facts were exactly as he had anticipated.
"Sir, Wei Changtian said that the ten-day deadline should be changed to five days."
Quietly observing Su Qi's expression, the black-clad officer's voice became lower and lower.
"He said you know what he means."
“.”
“Plop!”
His body went limp, and Su Qi fell back into the chair weakly, his eyes instantly filled with despair.
He could never have imagined that things would be such a coincidence. Wei Changtian didn't go earlier or later, but just happened to run into the person he sent.
As a result, his plan to delay for a few more days was undoubtedly shattered.
More importantly, are the four masters of the Jiuzhen Sect still on Daqian's side?
His eyes changed from despair to unwillingness, and then from unwillingness to determination.
Su Qi gritted his teeth, knowing that he had no way to retreat now.
"Is everyone here?"
After a long silence, Su Qi suddenly looked up and asked, "Except for the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect, have all the others arrived?"
"I'll go ask right away!"
The black-clad officer responded, hurried out of the study, and then returned soon after.
Looking at Su Qi, he swallowed his saliva and reported in a low voice with some stammering:
"My Lord, everyone is here."
"The people from the Jiu-Jiu Zhen Sect have also arrived."
