Chapter 385 Confidante
The entire block was cordoned off.
A large number of soldiers from the city defense camp gathered to prevent the powerful demons from coming to kill them.
Half an hour later.
It's getting dark.
Tai Shi Bai arrived. He had already known what had happened on the way. His face was solemn, he said nothing, and quickly went up to the restaurant.
When he entered the room and saw Long Xiangcen, who was covered with bruises, lying on the ground in the center of the house, an incomprehensible complex expression flashed in his eyes. Then, he looked at Tai Shiyu who was standing by the window.
Tai Shiyu had washed off the blood stains on his body and put on new and gorgeous clothes. He looked noble and arrogant. "Why are you looking at me? The person you brought to Lingxiao City almost killed me. I am grateful to you for letting her live. I am showing my brotherhood."
Tai Shi Bai squatted down and pointed a finger at Long Xiang Cen Zutian to break the seal.
After Long Xiangcen was able to circulate his magical energy, his complexion gradually recovered and he was no longer as weak as before.
But he was unable to stand up as his legs were broken by Tai Shi Yu.
She had tears in her eyes and looked pitiful: "Cousin, I'm sorry... They planted the death spirit fire in me. If I don't obey their orders, I will burn myself to death... But I swear, I will never do anything to let you down, I will never harm the Taishi family... I will never... even if it means death..."
Tai Shiyu couldn't stand it any longer: "It has come to this, and you are still playing dirty to me? If you don't tell the truth, not to mention Tai Shibai, even if General Tai Shi and Long Shexin come, you will die too."
Tai Shi Bai looked at Long Xiangcen and said, "This matter has been known to the whole city. All the government offices will question you. After tonight, I can't protect your life. So, you must quickly tell me everything you know. Only by capturing Luan Sheng and Lin You as soon as possible can you make up for your mistakes and have a chance of survival."
Tai Shiyu said: "Who are the other masters of the dead? What are their origins? What is their purpose? How many of them are hiding in Lingxiao City? Don't say you don't know. If you keep lying and pretending to be pitiful, believe it or not, I will throw you into a brothel to receive customers..."
"Don't you know how to ask? You go out first and give me half an hour." Tai Shi Bai said in a deep voice.
"If you can't get anything useful out of me in half an hour, don't blame me for using dirty tricks."
Tai Shi Yu cursed, walked out of the room and went downstairs.
The last rays of sunset fade away.
In the small courtyard on the first floor, lanterns were lit and the place was guarded everywhere by powerful martial artists from the imperial court.
Under the eaves, on the steps.
Li Weiyi and Jiang Ning were five steps apart, standing beside two pillars, looking at the warm blue sky in the twilight, communicating through telepathy.
Li Weiyi said: "The curtain was opened, and Jiang Ning and Long Xiangcen fought each other, which was seen by many people. When Luantai asked you about it, how did you respond?"
"Of course I responded truthfully! I was not at the scene at the time and knew nothing about it. If I cover up for Zuoqiu Hongting, it would only leave many loopholes."
Jiang Ning's face was covered with a veil, her body was covered with wisps of spiritual light, she stood tall and graceful, her skin emitting an even more charming luster in the night, which was totally out of tune with the turbid world before her.
She shouldn't be trapped in the temple, she should be above the nine heavens.
She said: "Luan Sheng, Lin You and Song Muchuan have been exposed. We can take advantage of the situation and eliminate all the thirty powerful dead spirits lurking in. It won't affect you."
"After hearing the news from you, I have been very distressed these days. If I don't clear up the hidden dangers in advance, I always feel like the whole city is full of enemies."
Li Weiyi saw her beautiful appearance but her heart was filled with worldly things. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Honestly speaking, a beauty like Lord Jiang should be worshipped and enshrined as a saint, like the goddess Brahma in the temple. Everyone in the world is at fault for putting you in a predicament of worrying about the country and the people."
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, his expression serious: "One should do his job in his position. Why are you making fun of me? I think it's very simple. The current chaos in the world is really overwhelming. With our cultivation and ability, we can do as much as we can."
"Okay, as you say. But we have to wait until Long Xiangcen confesses everything. She was the one who leaked the information." Li Weiyi said.
Jiang Ning was a serious person who always had a cool aura. "There are a total of 212 people on the list collected by Zhuang Yue. I have ruled out most of them in the past month, and 92 of them are the most suspicious. It is not easy to accurately find those 30 people from the 92 people."
"I'm better than you. I can narrow down the number of suspects to fifty and arrest all fifty of them."
Li Weiyi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and quietly handed it to her: "Just say that you received a secret report a month ago. Luantai had already noticed some clues, and you have been secretly investigating... The credit goes to you."
Jiang Ning accepted it.
She felt that given her friendship with Li Weiyi, there was no need to thank him. They were like comrades in arms, pursuing the same goal.
She wanted to leave right now, very anxiously: "After what happened today, these people must have gone into hiding. If we act quickly, we may be able to catch some of them."
"No rush. The people from Jiuli Hidden Sect have been keeping an eye on them. If they are hiding, you can go to Chen Chuan to get the latest information." Li Weiyi said.
Jiang Ning's worries faded away, his beautiful eyes lit up, and he showed a rare smile that charmed everyone in the world: "Is this the reason why you summoned a large number of hidden masters to Lingxiao City? You are making fun of me for worrying about the country and the people, aren't you the same? You are still the same as before, just refusing to admit it! I am in my position and doing my job. What about you? It is not your responsibility, but you also take it over?"
Li Weiyi stood tall and straight with a sincere look in his eyes: "Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. As you said, we should do as much as we can. Maybe we can't change anything, but at least we can have a clear conscience."
"What a great saying! Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. This is the responsibility that all martial artists should shoulder."
Jiang Ning looked at him, staring at him for a long time with his beautiful eyes: "Two years ago, you said that the blue sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established. I was very angry. You are a complete traitor. I will do my best to help you get rid of the control of this evil cult."
"By the way, the imperial court is almost certain that the cult's headquarters is in the underground immortal palace. The Second Palace Master has already left the city to lobby all parties to take the initiative to destroy it, so as to prevent the corpses from growing rice in the future and all twenty-eight states from falling and becoming a zombie country with rice corpses everywhere."
Jiang Ning noticed that Li Weiyi's eyes were not happy at all, but rather more solemn. He saw through his heart and asked in confusion, "What are you worried about?"
Now that the Second Palace Master has left the city, Lingxiao City will inevitably be empty.
The Second Palace Master is lobbying all parties to attack the Rice Cult's headquarters, which may very well force the Rice Cult to launch an attack in advance.
What the demon tribe has been doing is to force the Dao Cult to take action as soon as possible. The secret of the Dao Cult headquarters in the underground fairy palace was leaked by them.
Li Weiyi originally thought that there were at least two months left, but looking at the current situation, the war could break out at any time.
When a storm is coming, ants and insects will sense it first.
He said, "I heard that some ghost towns and skeleton palaces in the Netherworld of the Dead, as well as the demon tribe, are gathering their armies, and their target is the Western Territory. War has also broken out in the East China Sea. At this critical juncture, does the imperial court have the ability to fight a three-way battle against the Rice Sect headquarters?"
Jiang Ning looked up at the sky, seeing the stars constantly appearing, and sighed quietly: "This game of chess for the overall situation of the world is a competition between the transcendents. It is not something that we young people can see clearly or help. We can only intervene in the small situation at hand."
"The transcendents all stand on the top of the mountain, and can see the ups and downs of the mountains and the colors of the grass and trees at a glance. In the overall situation, there is no place to block the eyes."
"But they cannot see the hidden dangers beneath the lush forests, and they don't have the energy to visit every corner."
"A disaster is a fire that starts in the dry grass. When a wildfire breaks out, it may be too late to put it out."
"What's even more terrifying is that the wildfires are not in one place, but everywhere in the world. In that case, Chao Ran can only run around in a hurry, but in the end he can do nothing and can only watch everything burn to ashes."
Li Weiyi certainly understood this truth, and thought to himself, what are Qilin Zang and Qingluan doing at this moment? What kind of open and secret struggles are the supernatural and immortal giants in the world engaged in? Obviously, the imperial court alone cannot be a match for the demon clan.
Having to take care of the East China Sea and defend the Western Border, how many transcendents are left in Lingxiao City?
This is an unsolvable situation!
Even though Li Weiyi told everyone about the danger of Lingxiao City and all the imperial masters were driven back, the result was that Lingxiao City was only saved, but the eastern and western regions were completely lost. However, it only went from a sudden collapse to a gradual defeat.
The ending is hard to change.
Turning Yuntian Fairyland into a meat-grinding ground for the demons and the evil cult is the only chance for the human race to turn the tide.
Tai Shiyu came to the courtyard, his eyes wandered between the two of them, seeing some clues, and said with a smile: "People all over the world are saying that Fairy Yu is the confidante of the Nine Li Shenyinren, and she had an extraordinary experience in Lizhou and Qiuzhou. One of them killed the enemy with the Jingyu Sword, and the other could control the opponent's seven strange insects."
"Li Weiyi, Fairy Yu is very aloof and doesn't give face to anyone. A handsome and suave person like me has never received her favor. But she is such a fair and impartial person that she didn't even tie you up and send you to Luantai Prison. It shows that in her heart, you are different from others."
"Why don't you cancel the marriage proposal with Zuoqiu Menting and join the imperial court? I'll ask my father to go to the Jiang family and propose marriage for you."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "I am a person whose ancestral land is destroyed. I have no way out of martial arts. I am afraid that the Jiang family will not look down on me."
"If you want to talk about love and romance, don't involve me." Jiang Ning moved to a distance, behind the door of the courtyard, leaving the space for the two of them.
Tai Shiyu asked through his magical energy: "Was it Tang Wanzhou who did it?"
Li Weiyi knew that he was asking about the attack during the day, so there must be a reasonable explanation: "It was her! But I promise that her purpose of entering the city was not to cause trouble for the court."
Tai Shiyu nodded: "I believe it! I met her once. She is a woman with great personality charm, a broad mind, and a sense of right and wrong and the overall situation that few men can match. You are really good. Tang Wanzhou is another unattainable type. She actually looks at you with new eyes, which makes me a little jealous."
"Don't get me wrong, Young Master is devoted to martial arts." Li Weiyi said.
"Boom! Boom..."
Tai Shi Bai came downstairs, his brows furrowed, and looked at Tai Shi Yu: "She doesn't know much, she only told me two things."
"First, thirty powerful undeads used the secret art of soul fusion to hide in the bodies of thirty imperial Dao Seed Realm masters and entered Lingxiao City, intending to create chaos at the critical moment."
Tai Shiyu's expression suddenly changed, and his scalp went numb: "Thirty... How can there be so many? And using the Soul Fusion Secret Technique, it is impossible to find out in a short period of time."
Tai Shi Bai continued, "Secondly, the demon army and the dead army attacked the western border around the Lantern Festival. This is similar to the time calculated by the court."
"She is not aware of the specific deployment. With her level of cultivation, it is impossible for her to know."
"Brother Yu, can you help me save her life? This time it was my fault. I didn't know how to judge people and brought disaster to the Taishi family."
Tai Shiyu found it hard to refuse the call of "Brother Yu" and said, "Clear up the trouble in a short period of time, arrest those who should be arrested, kill those who should be killed, and that will be a great achievement. Then, when the time comes, you can make another request, and the people above can give the Taishi family some face. But how can we investigate the thirty undead masters who are all in hiding? And now, they may have hidden deeper."
Jiang Ning walked over, glanced at Li Weiyi, and took out a page of names: "A month ago, I received a secret report and started investigating this matter. Currently, fifty people have been identified and further screening is needed."
