Jin Ding Zhenren pointed to the candlestick beside him and said, "Before Liu Pianpian left, I asked her to leave a drop of her essence blood on the candlestick, connecting it with her soul."
Now that the candlestick has gone out, she must have been completely annihilated, both in body and soul.
Those Red Turban rebels certainly have clever methods. Liu Pianpian is always cautious and meticulous in her actions, yet she was still killed by them!
Hearing what Master Jin Ding said, Yang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that Master Jin Ding had some secret method that allowed him to monitor Liu Pianpian from a distance, which would have exposed Han Yu and potentially implicated him.
After all, only insiders know when Liu Pianpian set off and which route she took.
This thing can only determine whether a person is dead or alive, which makes things much simpler.
Jin Ding Zhenren had no idea that Liu Pianpian was slacking off; he thought she had gone straight to the Red Turban Army after leaving the capital.
Therefore, given Liu Pianpian's normal pace, she must have already begun the assassination attempt, and thus must have died at the hands of the Red Turban Army.
Di Kui, standing to the side, sensed something was amiss.
He then realized that Liu Pianpian's speed was unreasonable; she shouldn't have reached the Red Turban Army yet, and it was more likely that she was ambushed and killed on the way.
While Di Kui and his two companions didn't communicate with each other about slacking off during missions, they all tacitly agreed to it.
Such speed is definitely not Liu Pianpian's style.
But he dared not voice this suspicion. Even if he said that only Liu Pianpian would slack off, Jin Ding Zhenren would definitely question him about why he did not report to him.
So Di Kui had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out.
Yang Sheng asked in a deep voice, "So, Master, are you planning to attack the Red Turban Army?"
Master Jin Ding nodded and said, "It's time to take action, and it can't be an assassination, but rather we should openly bring back Chu Yingfei's head!"
Over the years, apart from the capital, I have rarely concerned myself with external affairs.
But since I don't make a move, they all think I'm easy to bully!
If they continue like this, I can forget about peacefully refining pills!
What Jin Ding Zhenren was actually afraid of was not that the Red Turban Army would actually attack the capital and overthrow the throne.
With him, the Golden Cauldron Immortal, around, the Liang Kingdom was practically impregnable.
No matter how chaotic things are outside, Master Jin Ding is confident that he can kill any intruders.
But what Jin Ding Zhenren was really worried about was that there would be waves of troublemakers coming to the capital to cause trouble and disturb his alchemy and cultivation.
Therefore, this door must absolutely not be opened!
Anyone who dares to cause trouble must be exterminated!
Jin Ding Zhenren looked at Di Kui and Yang Sheng and said in a deep voice, "Which of you is willing to bring back Chu Yingfei's head for me?"
Di Kui hesitated for a moment.
Chu Yingfei, formerly the second-in-command of the Red Turban Army and now its leader, is not someone to be trifled with.
It is said that the other party is skilled in both martial arts and magic. In his early years, he was a swordsman with a great reputation in the martial arts world. Later, he accidentally entered a sacred land and obtained a secret sword control technique, which made his cultivation even more powerful.
Furthermore, although the Red Turban Army had been wiped out once, its main force was still intact, and now it has been resurrected.
Jin Ding Zhenren also demanded that they and others openly and directly kill Chu Yingfei, which greatly increased the difficulty.
Just as Di Kui hesitated, weighing the strength of both sides, Yang Sheng said in a deep voice, "This subordinate is willing to lead men to kill Chu Yingfei and bring glory to Liang Kingdom for the Grand Preceptor!"
Master Jin Ding nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good. You may use any of my forces as you wish."
Yang Sheng said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Grand Preceptor. I have already taken control of the Demon Extermination Alliance. I only need to use the power of the Demon Extermination Alliance."
Among the forces under Jin Ding Zhenren, Yang Sheng definitely cannot command the forces under Di Kui.
The Imperial Guards under Lu Panlong were a bunch of useless cowards; they couldn't be relied upon for long-distance raids.
As for the Taoists of the Yixian Sect, Yang Sheng wanted to use them, but Jin Ding Zhenren would definitely not agree.
Therefore, Yang Sheng only planned to take some of the elites of the Demon Extermination Alliance with him.
Although this group is smaller in number, their strength and experience are undeniable.
Moreover, Yang Sheng could easily use the incense money collected by Jin Ding Zhenren to call upon the demon-slaying alliance's ghostwriters to take action.
After returning to the inn, Yang Sheng summoned Old Taoist Cui.
"Old Taoist, you can finally get your revenge."
Old Master Cui asked in surprise, "Han Yu has already succeeded?"
Yang Sheng nodded and said, "Han Yu has already killed Liu Pianpian, and Jin Ding Zhenren has also concluded that it was the Red Turban Army who did it."
Therefore, Master Jinding intends to kill Chu Yingfei this time to intimidate the external forces of the entire Liang Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Old Cui's face immediately contorted with rage: "Fine! But you absolutely must hand over that bastard's life to me. I want to kill him with my own hands!"
Old Master Cui hated Chu Yingfei to the extreme, after all, that guy almost killed him.
However, Master Cui was also aware of the bigger picture. Even though he hated Chu Yingfei, he never mentioned the word "revenge" to Yang Sheng and Han Yu. He only planned to prioritize the overall situation, kill Jin Ding Zhenren first, and then deal with Chu Yingfei.
But now that there's an opportunity, Old Master Cui won't let it slip by.
"About Chu Yingfei's strength? And how many people are in the Red Turban Army as a whole?"
After thinking for a moment, Old Master Cui said, "Chu Yingfei is quite strong. According to the strength classification of the Nine Provinces World, he cultivates both immortality and martial arts, and his strength has reached the Divine Treasury Realm of an immortal and the Dao Entry Realm of a martial artist."
According to the reincarnator, he had at least reached the mid-to-late stage of the Six Harmonies realm.
This guy is really strong, so I didn't mess with him when I was in the Red Turban Army. Who would have thought he would betray me like this!
