Huang Qi said in a deep voice, "Second brother, what I said before was all a lie to Zuo Yuan and the others."
"Actually, this battle was because Chu Qiu and I betrayed us, siding with Yang Cheng, the Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall. We turned against them at a crucial moment and launched a sneak attack, which led to the complete annihilation of Xuanyuan and his group."
"What did you say!?"
Everyone present, including Wei Lingyun and Qi Xiaojing, was shocked and looked at Huang Qi with disbelief.
Huang Qi, however, didn't care at all and told Wei Lingyun everything they had experienced since they were captured.
After hearing this, the four people in the room were stunned.
After a moment, Wei Lingyun finally came to his senses, and while spinning around, he said, "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, Chu Qiu, Chu Qiu, how could you be so muddle-headed!"
Since you didn't side with Yang Cheng, even if they have suspicions after you return, I can still speak up for you. Without direct evidence, they won't do anything to you.
Now look what's happened! You've caused the deaths of Xuanyuan and the others; they'll definitely hate you to the core!
What are you doing back at a time like this? Are you coming back to die?
Chu Qiu said calmly, "Second brother, if we don't come back, you'll be the ones who die."
There were actually quite a few survivors from that battle, but they were all imprisoned by the Grand Commander, and a gag order was issued to the Zhenwu Hall and the Northern Army.
But too many people saw what happened that night; you can't keep it under wraps forever, it was bound to be exposed eventually.
Once the news leaks, even if the leader of the Zuo family can't bring himself to kill you, others will.
Huang Qi said angrily from the side, "Second Brother, it's not that we wanted to betray you, it's that those bastards forced us to betray you!"
We have not betrayed them, yet they doubt us so much because of an extremely simple divisive tactic by the enemy. They have never truly trusted us!
Since they don't treat us like family, why should we be so subservient? We might as well turn on them!
Second brother, who were you back then? And look at you now? You're always so careful, afraid of offending this person or that person.
The once-fiery and bold Thunder God is now as timid and cautious as a woman!
Wei Lingyun blushed deeply after Huang Qi's words, and she also looked extremely aggrieved.
Who would want this? But if Wei Lingyun didn't do this, how could he protect the brothers under his command?
"And that Zuo Yuan seems generous, but in reality he's full of scheming!"
Although he gave us the secret treasure, the one he actually fused together was the strongest.
Furthermore, he retains an ability: no matter how powerful we nurture the treasure, he can easily extract it from our bodies!
Wei Lingyun was immediately shocked: "Are you telling the truth?! How did you know?"
Huang Qi snorted coldly: "Second brother, you know my Ghost Face ability, which can even temporarily leave my body."
One day, Yuanjue captured a nun and brought her up the mountain. I was just curious about what it was like for a monk to be with a nun, so I decided to go and peek.
However, he unexpectedly overheard a conversation between Zuo Yuan and Sikong Zhaixing, and that's how he learned the secret.
In other words, as long as Zuo Yuan is willing, he can dig out the secret treasure that we have nurtured at any time and hand it over to other people, creating a giant bandit out of thin air!
We painstakingly cultivate ourselves, using our own strength to nurture the secret treasure, only to find in the end that we're doing all the work for someone else's benefit!
Why didn't you say these things before?
Huang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of saying anything? Can we resist? It will only cause more trouble."
Everyone fell silent.
They now understood why Huang Qi's attitude had been so extreme for a period of time. He often slandered Zuo Yuan and always had complaints, which led to Wei Lingyun teaching him a lesson and telling him not to talk nonsense.
Chu Qiu said in a deep voice, "Second brother, now you only have two paths in front of you."
Anyway, we've told you everything. If you think we're traitors, then hand us over and let us die with them!
Otherwise, then join us in rebelling against the hell!
Grand Commander Yang has given us the position of General of the Army and Commander of the Zhenwu Hall. As long as the Thirty-Six Great Bandits are wiped out, we will become government officials in no time!
Grand Commander Yang is renowned throughout the martial world, and his influence in the imperial court is absolute. I know that joining his ranks would at least prevent me from having to think three times before I speak, and to be extremely cautious and timid in everything I do, unlike here in the Hall of Righteousness!
