So Di Kui completely ignored the murderous look in Jin Ding Zhenren's eyes and continued to shout, "Grand Preceptor, this time I am absolutely not making baseless accusations. I really did see Yang Cheng..."
As Di Kui finished speaking, before he could say anything more, Di Kui suddenly groaned and looked at his chest in disbelief.
No one knows when, but a large hole had been blown open in his chest, from which blood was trickling out.
Di Kui never expected that he would end up like this, even though he had done nothing wrong and was loyal and devoted to serving Jin Ding Zhenren.
With a loud crash, Di Kui's body fell to the ground, lifeless.
Jin Ding Zhenren turned his gaze to Yang Cheng and sighed, "Di Kui has followed me for so many years, and I really never expected him to turn out like this."
Yang Cheng, you won't change in the future, will you?
Yang Cheng quickly replied, "Rest assured, Grand Preceptor, I will always be loyal to you."
Master Jin Ding nodded; he was quite reassured by Yang Cheng's current performance.
"Yang Cheng, in half a month I will be conducting an extremely important alchemy ceremony, which all the Taoists of the Yixian Sect will participate in."
At that time, you must stay by my side to protect me, and remember not to let me be disturbed in the slightest.
Even if the emperor came, he would be kept outside!
Yang Cheng quickly replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Master Jin Ding waved his hand and said, "Then go down. Remember, during this time you should rest and recuperate, and prepare to begin the great alchemy."
After Yang Cheng left, he immediately contacted Old Master Cui and Han Yu to prepare for action.
"Han Yu, are the people of Youxin Kingdom ready? After I make my move, you lead the people of Youxin Kingdom to launch a surprise attack on the palace."
Han Yu nodded and said, "They have been preparing for this for countless years. This is their only chance, and they cannot afford to miss it."
Although the descendants of the Xin Kingdom were only of average strength, they were still more than capable of dealing with the imperial guards of the palace.
"Old Taoist, you should hurry up and create some formations that can be set up quickly. When the Great Alchemy begins, I will place you among the Taoists of the One Immortal Sect, and then you can make your move when the opportunity arises."
Old Master Cui nodded, his expression solemn.
If they can kill Jin Ding Zhenren, all three of them can complete their mission very quickly; otherwise, they may all face the punishment of mission failure.
Half a month later, the grand alchemy process was about to begin.
Yang Cheng came to find Jingming and Shouyue in advance.
The Taoist priest guarding the mountain said with a wry smile, "Lord Yang, we can't drink this time. If we get caught by the immortal, we'll be in big trouble."
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not because of that, but because a friend of mine also wants to join the One Immortal Sect. I've already told the Grand Preceptor about it."
He is also a cultivator, so he can join you all and participate in the grand alchemy.
You all know this person; he's the one who helped us eliminate the demon from Mount Baisheng.
Shouyue exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually that True Person! That True Person's strength is astonishing. We dare not give orders!"
Neither Shouyue nor Jingming doubted Yang Cheng's claim that all of this was arranged by Jin Ding Zhenren.
With Di Kui and the other two already dead, Yang Cheng was Jin Ding Zhenren's only confidant and most trusted confidant.
It's just a matter of planting someone into the Yixian Sect. Even if it was ordered by Jin Ding Zhenren, or even if Yang Cheng himself ordered it, Shouyue and Jingming wouldn't say anything given their relationship.
As for seeking proof from Master Jin Ding, that's even more impossible.
If they really go, not only will Golden Cauldron Master find it annoying, but they will also offend Yang Cheng to death.
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my friend has already decided to join the Imperial Preceptor's ranks. He just happened to be here during the Grand Pill Refining Ceremony."
Therefore, you two don't need to feel guilty. Just treat him like any other Taoist priest from the Yixian Sect. There's no need to give him too much attention or make him stand out.
The Taoist priest guarding the mountain said, "It's that simple. During the Great Refining of Elixir, our task is simply to provide spiritual energy for the True Person. So all we need to do is stand in the formation and constantly input spiritual energy."
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you two Taoist priests."
As he spoke, Yang Cheng brought in Old Taoist Cui, dressed him in the clothes of the Yixian Sect, and placed him among the many Taoists of the Yixian Sect, making him inconspicuous.
At noon, the grand alchemy officially began.
