"Boom boom boom!" Long-range spells shot into the Five Elements Annihilation Array's defensive shield, creating ripples all over the sky.
Various kinds of magical spells shone brightly, illuminating the area three miles in diameter from the Inspectorate, weaving into the aura of the killing array, dazzling the warm sun.
Zheng Ya noticed the changes outside the Inspector's Office and said with a faint smile, "You and your daughter are too suspicious."
Why don't you consider me one of the people pulling the strings behind the scenes?
"Qian Yuan Immortal Sect?" Earl Dai guessed with surprise and uncertainty. Daiyu interjected, "Hidden Dragon of Jiangnan?"
The father and daughter had different thoughts. Zheng Ya remained calm and composed, revealing no flaws: "That's it? What's the reason?"
"The Hidden Dragon of Jiangnan has been secretly plotting to seize control of the world, and has been secretly and openly seizing a portion of the assets of the seven major families in Jiangnan."
They even coveted the assets of powerful families in Dali, yet they opposed the Prince of Donglin, adept at framing others, using others to do their dirty work, and secretly profiting from others' misdeeds.
"The war that broke out in Kyoto a few days ago was the work of Qianlong from Jiangnan," Daiyu said breathlessly, revealing her suspicions.
Concealing their suspicions about Zheng Ya, this hidden dragon, and his alleged embezzlement of the Dai family's secret realm.
But it also implies that you've been exposed.
Before Zheng Ya could reply, Earl Dai focused on controlling the ultimate killing formation to defend against the enemy and analyzed: "The sudden appearance of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect directly destroyed the plans and schemes of the Jiangnan Hidden Dragon in the capital."
Jiangnan Qianlong, taking advantage of the situation, recommended Qianyuan Immortal Sect as the first to emerge.
A troublemaker who everyone hates, possessing the ability to create an invincible army of 30,000 to 40,000 with a wave of his hand, he found it difficult to establish himself in the capital and thus rose to power by going south of the Yangtze River.
This began when the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect destroyed the Azure Dragon Society's secret realm, distributed wealth to help the poor, and then the Azure Dragon wreaked havoc on the Chamber of Commerce's assets without easily harming anyone.
And his attempt to rescue the people of Yanhai City just now was an overt and covert way of winning people's hearts, revealing his ulterior motives.
What else do you have to say?
"No way, no way, it can't be true, how could you and your daughter imagine me as a member of the Jiangnan Hidden Dragon and the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect?"
They even made the connection, is that possible? Zheng Ya felt that what they were imagining was very interesting, but it also proved one thing: the hidden dragon of Jiangnan, a transmigrator.
This being might be the hidden master.
Thinking back on it now, Zheng Ya felt a chill run down his spine.
When he first arrived, if he had chosen to play it safe and ignore the mess in Kyoto, and instead stayed anonymous to escape the war vortex of powerful families and go out into the world to cause trouble and generate spiritual energy income, then that guy might have succeeded in his plan in Kyoto.
If that person takes the throne, it means the transmigrator has already qualified.
This is a dimensional reduction attack for the other transmigrators.
In that situation, Zheng Ya felt passive.
One wrong move and he was killed by the mysterious person monitoring him from inside the Tower of Babel.
Earl Dai sneered, "Things have come to this point, and you still won't admit your identity as the Hidden Dragon of Jiangnan."
While establishing his power base and controlling most of the powerful families in the Great Li Dynasty, he plotted to seize the throne.
Despite the apparent failure, they arranged for the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect to emerge, hoping to win over the hearts of the people.
It is easy for you to change dynasties, but you will not win the hearts of the people. Combined with the presence of foreign enemies, you are forced not to act rashly.
This situation arose from the invasion of the Great Yan Dynasty's army, and changed accordingly..."
"Okay, stop making things up in your head!"
I think the most urgent thing is to avoid the battlefield and the chaos of war, and to save lives, right? Zheng Ya felt that explaining was just a cover-up, and it would be pointless to say anything more.
The father and daughter clearly don't trust people, and Zheng Ya can't produce any solid evidence to clarify his identity.
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she cried out in alarm, "Save whom?"
"Hmm, this is a new topic. When I said I saved your mother and your brother, did you think of any other issues?" Zheng Ya didn't know how to explain that some force had poisoned their family and then came to detoxify them, as if they were seeking a favor in return.
The key issue is that the cultivators outside are bombarding the Killing Array relentlessly, and it's unknown how long the crystal resources stored inside the array can last.
Perhaps the various powerful families were wary of the deadly formation within the Inspectorate, which is why they did not choose a direct attack but instead opted to lay a trap, gathering a large force to seize and plunder.
No matter which force unites its forces and goes all out, it would be impossible to break through the defenses of the Five Elements Annihilation Formation.
What has led to this situation, where the game has reached a point where we're trapped like turtles in a jar?
All of this points to one thing: something unpredictable and difficult to explain, something Zheng Ya could not.
Earl Dai's murderous intent surged: "You dare to covet the Dai family's secret realm? Even if the Dai family can't kill you, we'll drag you down with us..."
"Uh, why are you doing this?" Zheng Ya was speechless. People didn't trust him and wouldn't even save his family. What was he going to do?
A deathly gray tinge appeared on Daiyu's pale face, and her delicate body swayed precariously, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
In fact, Zheng Ya did not come for Daiyu's beauty; he was not in the mood for it.
It's true that Zheng Ya coveted the Dai Clan's Secret Realm, but how he managed to infiltrate it remains a question.
Asking about marriage is just a starting point. Under the guise of the Second Prince, they arrange a marriage to save people, steal the spiritual plant from the Dai Clan's secret realm, and then each goes their own way, owing nothing to the other.
But Zheng Ya was met with a setback, as his advisor warned, "My lord, the formation is consuming crystals too quickly; we can't hold out for much longer..."
"Father, it's time to make a decision!" Daiyu said, tears streaming down her face. The family would never be able to reunite until their deaths.
Earl Dai was filled with inexplicable sorrow: "The world is made up of shameless and despicable people like you, who exploit the world and bring misery to all living beings in order to become immortals and attain enlightenment..."
"No, what are you talking about? Why don't you trust people..." Zheng Ya asked in annoyance. Had the misunderstanding deepened?
Trapped in the Five Elements Killing Formation, Zheng Ya lost the ability to communicate with his own people outside and could not notify Qinglong to come and provide support.
In fact, if Qinglong were to come to the rescue of the Inspectorate and become an enemy of the other powerful families, it would mean that the Dai family was plotting a rebellion in alliance with the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
After all, the Dai family has become the target of public criticism, the scapegoat, and the money-giving child. What else does it matter? Just do it.
However, once this situation is formed, the image of Dai as loyal to the Zheng imperial power will collapse, which would not be a big deal for ordinary people.
However, for those who cultivate the Tao, this may leave regrets, cause great inner demons, and hinder or even lead to disability or death.
The Dai family and Fu Ya's original owner had a marriage alliance, so Zheng Ya couldn't do anything to harm the Dai family, which put him in a very passive position!
Tears streamed down Daiyu's face. "Father, don't be sad. In my next life, I will repay your kindness in raising me..."
"Wait, are you two going to destroy each other?" Zheng Ya noticed that the father and daughter were heartbroken and were actually saying goodbye. What were they planning to do?
The father and daughter ignored them, but the advisor sneered repeatedly: "Shameless madmen, all of this is the result of your scheming."
Countless people have died or been injured because of your so-called ambitions.
Your consciences have been eaten by dogs; you're worse than animals..."
"You old beast, I'll give you a ray of light to illuminate your future..." Zheng Ya saw Earl Dai raise his hand to activate the ultimate killing formation, attempting to detonate the formation and destroy everything in its path, and cried out in alarm as he made his move...
