Chapter 201 Threatening He Zhenghao
Affected by the Wuxiang murderous intent, the school of fish around Zhou Qingang suddenly became crazy.
Ignoring the pressure coming from him, they scrambled to eat his body.
Without the soul's autonomous protection, just a moment later, a streak of blood dyed the surrounding sea red.
Zhou Qingang's body has been completely destroyed.
A stone heart with seven holes on it, emitting colorful light, appeared at the scene of the incident.
The light is extremely dim.
With the death of its owner, this [Seven Apertures Heart] has lost its wonder and turned into an ordinary, inconspicuous stone, sinking to the bottom of the sea.
After waiting there for several days, he saw that the strange phenomenon of the fall did not attract other monks.
Li Fan then returned, not caring about other things, and only absorbed the [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart] to recharge Huan Zhen.
After that, Li Fan returned to Wanxian Island quietly without disturbing anyone.
Zhou Qingang's disappearance has not yet attracted anyone's attention.
It is quite normal for a foundation-building cultivator to be out of the house for ten days or so and not be able to be contacted.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to report Zhou Qingang's identity as a spy, but first began to comprehend the [Seven Apertures Heart].
"Smooth in dealing with people, with a heart as deep as the sea; bewitching people, never change the truth or falsehood."
Three days later, Li Fan let out a long sigh, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Although it is only a mid-level human treasure, it has no special benefit for cultivation. But as a spy's foundation-building treasure, it is perfect."
In the Dantian, [Huan Zhen] bloomed with warm light and slowly transformed into the appearance of [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart].
Li Fan had a vague feeling that he was wearing countless layers of false coats, and others could no longer easily see through his heart.
"This thing is wonderful!"
Li Fan secretly praised in his heart.
Afterwards, Li Fan checked the secret method that went with it [Appearance Changes with Mind].
This is not a cultivation technique, but a secret method of disguise created by the organization Zhou Qingang belongs to, specifically for the Seven-Aperture Linglong Heart.
After setting a specific appearance in the mind, the Seven Apertures Heart and the secret method will stimulate each other, and one can instantly transform into another person.
The body shape and appearance are all different from the original ones.
And it is a real change and cannot be seen through by spells such as [Break Delusion].
The only pity is that one can only change one's appearance, but not one's own aura.
Therefore, Zhou Qingang was always particularly cautious every time he traveled.
Find a deserted place and hide your presence.
However, no matter how careful you are, it is useless if you are targeted by Li Fan who has hidden murderous intentions.
Li Fan was thinking while studying [Appearance Changes with Mind] in his mind.
"I had the idea of using Huanzhen to transform the foundation-building artifact and impersonate someone else before."
"Now that I have the Seven-Aperture Heart and this secret method of disguise, it will be even more realistic to impersonate someone else."
"Besides, I have the Thousand Machines Jade World Gold Seal to identify the Qi and the Stealing Heaven and Changing the Sun Art to know the destiny."
“If one could simulate the changes of Qi and destiny together, I’m afraid it would be really hard to tell the real from the fake.”
"If it works..."
Li Fan's thoughts were surging, and many ideas emerged at the same time.
"After my clone in this life received 100,000 contribution points from Yunshui Palace, I will no longer have to worry about having nothing to do."
In order to test the effect of the Seven-Aperture Heart, Li Fan came to Liuli Island through the teleportation array.
I didn't see He Zhenghao and I don't know where he went.
Li Fan ignored him for the time being. He just changed into another appearance and talked nonsense in front of Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao's ability to distinguish true from false words had indeed lost its effectiveness and he was easily fooled.
Leaving Manager Zhao standing there in shock, Li Fan changed back to his original appearance in an isolated place.
Sent a message to He Zhenghao: "Where is Daoyou now?"
After a while, He Zhenghao's slightly tired voice came: "I have accepted a mission and am building a defense formation for a Taoist fellow's island cave. I wonder what Taoist fellow Li Fan wants to see me about?"
Li Fan sneered: "What mission are you still doing? He Zhenghao, do you know that you are about to face a disaster?"
He Zhenghao was slightly startled: "Why do you say that, fellow Taoist?"
"This matter still needs to be discussed in person. You should return to Liuli Island as soon as possible. The situation is urgent and delay may lead to changes." Li Fan said seriously.
"Okay... Daoist friend, wait for me." Perhaps because of Li Fan's performance in the Lingwu Grass incident, He Zhenghao was very convinced. At this time, he did not doubt what Li Fan said at all. With a panicked tone, he directly disconnected the communication.
After half a day, He Zhenghao finally arrived.
He looked haggard and tired, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
There was still a hint of fear in his eyes, but it was suppressed.
"Fellow Daoist..." He Zhenghao was about to speak when he saw Li Fan.
Li Fan waved his hand and interrupted it directly.
With a glance, He Zhenghao activated the mountains, rivers and stars formation.
Li Fan's behavior made him more and more uneasy.
"Friend He, are you familiar with Zhou Qingang, the garrison commander of Tai'an Island?" Li Fan asked.
He Zhenghao was stunned for a moment, then answered truthfully: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I know him well. I have a good relationship with him, and he often asks me for advice on formations. Why are you asking this, fellow Daoist?"
"Humph. Fortunately you didn't lie to me." Li Fan said coldly, "If you had told me a lie just now, I would have turned around and left."
He Zhenghao became more and more flustered.
Seeing that the atmosphere was brewing, Li Fan stopped keeping the audience in suspense and took out the photo stone.
The conversation between Zhou Qingang and the broken stone face was played.
…
"He Zhenghao also suffered heavy losses this time. I applied for these 100,000 contribution points because I wanted to take this opportunity to deepen my relationship with him."
"This person is proficient in formations and has participated in the arrangement of the island protection formation. He is not cunning and with his help, we will definitely be able to master the formation thoroughly soon."
…
At first, He Zhenghao was confused because Zhou Qingang did not look like his original appearance.
But as the conversation unfolded, He Zhenghao instantly realized what was happening.
And when he heard his name appear in the conversation, his face turned pale.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead, and He Zhenghao couldn't stop shaking all over.
Putting away the photo stone, Li Fan looked at He Zhenghao with a stern expression: "Fellow Daoist He, how much information about the island protection formation have you leaked?"
"No... not much! Really not much!" He Zhenghao defended himself tremblingly.
"Why don't you tell the truth? Do you really want me to hand over this photo stone and let the people from the Martial Arts Hall interrogate you?" Li Fan shouted angrily.
He Zhenghao was frightened at first, but then he understood the meaning of Li Fan's words, and hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He grabbed Li Fan's hands and said repeatedly: "Daoyou, save me! Daoyou, save me!"
Li Fan shook him off: "If you really want me to save you, then tell me everything about Zhou Qingang!"
He Zhenghao had a sad face and told everything.
After hearing this, Li Fan was speechless.
It turns out that a large part of the formation outer structure data submitted by Zhou Qingang was actually due to He Zhenghao.
"He would show me his courtesy every now and then, bragging about my level of formation skills, and then asking me for advice on formation techniques."
"I was flattered a little bit, and then..."
"Who would have thought that Zhou Qingang, who is also guarding Cong Yunhai, is actually a spy!"
"How could I be deceived by his sweet words?"
He Zhenghao looked like he was about to cry.
"Whether you know it or not, you cannot change the fact that you leaked the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance." Li Fan snorted coldly.
"Friend He, you should know the consequences, right?"
He Zhenghao shuddered: "Dismiss him from his post and conduct a thorough investigation. Deduct his authority level and maybe even revoke his cultivation..."
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he felt that the rest of his life would be dark and bleak.
In addition, he had lost all his life savings, so he had been frantically accepting tasks these days to accumulate contribution points again.
It makes me exhausted both physically and mentally.
Under the multiple blows, He Zhenghao could no longer hold back, his mentality collapsed, and he burst into tears.
"Why am I so miserable! I have lost all my capital and now I have to deal with this!"
"How am I supposed to live like this?"
Li Fan remained unmoved.
He Zhenghao cried for a while, and when he saw that Li Fan didn't show any reaction, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Wiping away his tears, He Zhenghao cried, "Daoyou, please save me!"
"This photo stone must not be handed over! Otherwise, my future will be ruined!"
Li Fan asked back, "Reporting a spy is a huge achievement. I'm sure you don't know that."
He Zhenghao stammered, "I can compensate you, fellow Taoist."
Li Fan laughed: "Daoyou, you are penniless now, what can you do to compensate me? I have no shortage of contribution points. Daoyou may not know that I made a huge profit of 600,000 yuan in the Lingwu Grass incident!"
He Zhenghao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Li Fan in disbelief.
"What, you don't believe it?" Li Fan asked with a squint.
"I believe it, I believe it." He Zhenghao nodded quickly.
The envy and regret in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "I really regret not listening to my friend's advice!"
After a while, He Zhenghao thought for a while and said, "I have half a volume of "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Array Diagram", which is my life's work..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Fan.
"I'm not that interested in formations. I became a formation repairer just to use it as a stepping stone to get a job."
He Zhenghao hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: "I have a daughter who is also at the foundation-building stage. I can introduce her to you..."
Li Fan's face turned serious, and he refused with great righteousness: "Who do you think I am? Don't mention this matter again!"
He Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief, then began to think with a bitter face.
He also realized at this time that Li Fan really intended to spare him.
But it seemed like she really wanted to get something from him.
But other than that, He Zhenghao has nothing now, right?
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't get the answer.
He Zhenghao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't tease me. Just tell me what you want."
Li Fan smiled slightly and patted He Zhenghao on the shoulder.
"I want you as a person."
He Zhenghao was stunned at first when he heard this, then his face turned pale. He jumped back subconsciously and looked at Li Fan vigilantly.
"Haha, what are you thinking about, fellow Taoist?"
"I mean, I want you to follow my lead from now on."
Li Fan stood in front of He Zhenghao and spoke slowly.
