Chapter 346 Opportunity (2)
Cold dew dripped down the stone wall. Xingshan, Li Zhengchi and Baiyue huddled together with their backs against each other, drawing the only warmth and comfort from each other's body temperature.
The chains on their wrists and ankles no longer felt the initial burning and numbness. Thick blood scabs rubbed against each other, occasionally releasing bits of debris. If their spiritual roots hadn't been plucked out in the Weird Weapon Pavilion, they wouldn't have had to endure this mortal suffering.
However, these are trivial matters compared to the greater good.
Xingshan and other three teams replaced the original identity of the Yanzhen Pavilion monks and gradually promoted themselves from outer disciples to the sect. Their purpose was to steal the intelligence of Guiqi Pavilion and pass it back to Tong Yuan, the law enforcement chief lurking in the border.
But just as the three from Xingshan had infiltrated the Guiqi Pavilion, the other two teams were exposed and captured. Zang Yaozong, never concerned about losses, implicated all outer disciples who had entered the sect at the same time as the three. After a brief search, they were immediately identified as hidden targets, first assigned to True Monarch Beilian to extract their spiritual roots for weapon refinement, and then sent to Taoist Hua Shen for consumption.
The search eliminated all external means. Even if there was a secret, the spiritual roots could not be reported back to the six major alliances. When it came to Taoist Hua Shen, no trace of the person was left.
This whole process was handled perfectly, so the Guizang Temple disciples who were in charge of handling the matter did not search the souls of all of them as usual, but allowed the three of them to survive by accident.
The strangest and most crucial part is Su Yang, who was retained after transferring all of them.
The three of them privately discussed the possibility that Su Yang might also be a secret agent, but after several interactions, they found nothing more than that he was from Xuancheng Prefecture and that his character and conduct were consistent with the righteous path. To avoid being captured and soul-searched by the demonic cultivators, the secret agent team had no secret codes among themselves, and they did not dare to reveal themselves.
But now, the situation is a bit worrying.
Xingshan's hands covered his abdomen naturally as if because of hunger. He was still thinking when the door of the stone chamber suddenly opened.
The familiar smell of medicine and the aroma of food came in with the figure. Su Yang closed the door and placed the food on the ground in front of the three people as usual.
But this wasn't the usual meal delivery time. Xingshan subconsciously glanced at the candles on the wall. These days, he'd become able to tell the time by the remaining burnt candles. It was half an hour earlier than usual, and Su Yang was a man who followed the rules.
Due to the secret agent's keen sense of unusual events, Xingshan felt that the two people leaning on him moved slightly, but they remained calm and waited for Su Yang's move.
Sure enough, after putting down the food, Su Yang did not hand over the bowl and chopsticks and get up to leave as usual, but instead put his sleeves together and suddenly bowed to the three people.
"Senior Brother Su, what are you doing?" Xingshan and Baiyue hurriedly held Su Yang's arms on the left and right. The iron chains rang, but Su Yang did not get up.
"Three of you, are you willing to believe me?"
Xingshan's heart skipped a beat. He held back his gaze, a look of confusion and impatience on his face. "Why did you say that, Senior Brother Su? Please stand up quickly."
Bai Yue and he were in tune with each other, sighing in unison, "We are already useless, waiting to die. If it weren't for your protection, we would have been killed by Lord Hua Shen long ago. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You must not do this."
Xingshan Baiyue echoed the sentiment, and Li Zhengchi opened his lips slightly before nodding silently. Seeing the three's reaction, Su Yang didn't mince words and said directly, "I have information about the Zang Yao Sect's movements that I want to pass back to the six major alliances. Can you do it?"
As soon as these words came out, Xingshan subconsciously stepped back: "...Are you collaborating with the enemy?"
Su Yang only then realized that he had been mistakenly thought to be a test, but he knew that he did not have much time to explain.
Teruma Palace was part of Hua Shen Dao Ren's body, and everything that happened within the palace would reach his ears. However, his research was at a critical juncture, so he was too lazy to intervene in such matters for the time being.
When the medicine is ready, everything will be over.
"I know that the Zang Yao Sect is planning to attack the righteous spiritual veins, and it is very likely that they have already destroyed it." Su Yang said directly, "Also, the reversal pills that the sect asked Taoist Hua Shen to research have begun to be produced in large quantities, and the first batch has begun to be shipped out."
A few words of information were more convincing than thousands of explanations. The attitudes of the three people began to change unconsciously. Xingshan said in a deep voice, "What is the Dianzhuan Pill?"
"I don't have time to explain the specific recipe now, but the reversal pill is too vicious."
Su Yang clenched his fingers, thinking of the remains left behind from the drug testing. "It is said that this is a fusion of the cultivation principles of a recently discovered strange cultivator. As long as one pill is taken, it can reverse the cultivator from the inside out into a strange cultivator. However, the transformed cultivator has never practiced the strange cultivation method, so all their cultivation will be wasted. If they use their strength even a little, they will be struck by heavenly thunder, and their soul will be shattered in one blow."
"This medicine has the side effect of delaying the healing of poisons and minor injuries. It won't change immediately after taking it, but after an hour, the effects spread throughout the body, and it's too late to stop them, turning a person into a treacherous cultivator. If they spread this pill under the guise of a detoxifying pill, I'm afraid the righteous path will be plunged into chaos."
Xingshan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the words "falling into chaos". He thought the schemes of Zang Yaozong in his hands were sinister enough, but he didn't expect there were more sinister schemes!
This transformation was silent and unnoticeable, and its terrifying nature was that it exploited the righteous's fear of evil cultivators. If someone discovered they had inexplicably become a treacherous cultivator, they would likely not immediately announce it, but instead quietly search for a way to escape, which would only allow the poison pill to spread unchecked.
It won't be long before the monks who have transformed into evil cultivators are exposed on a large scale, and the righteous path will fall into intense self-suspicion and mutual attacks. Even a powerful alliance will have to dissolve under such circumstances, and it will have to dissolve from within.
Taoist Hua Shen was truly terrifying. Even if there was no other news to be shared, the mere existence of this person must be made known to the righteous.
Wanna take a gamble? Baiyue, his face also covered in sweat, looked at Xingshan, gritting his teeth.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to pass on this message."
"Xingshan, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Li Zhengchi shouted sharply. He dragged the chain and crawled to Su Yang's side with a vigilant look on his face. "Brother Su, I'm afraid he is a hidden sting set up by the lackeys of the Heavenly Dao!"
The three of them came from the same sect and knew every move of Su Yang. If Su Yang was really testing them, they would have to leave at least one person to remember the information.
Su Yang took a deep breath and ignored Li Zhengchi's words. He suddenly raised his arm and untied the bandages on it. Suddenly, blood and flesh flowed down like juice: "I'm dying."
The blood and flesh water dripped and was extremely sticky. There was no better evidence on Su Yang's body to prove that he had been persecuted by Zang Yaozong.
Xingshan glanced at Baiyue who nodded in agreement, and looked directly at Su Yang: "We really have no way to establish communication with the outside world, and this is not an excuse."
"But, we know how and where to contact the people outside. As long as you can escape from here."
Su Yang wrapped the bandage again, and one could see blood and flesh flowing under the bandage again, filling the arm smooth.
"I have a flag to leave, but I'm being watched, and even if I escape, I'm afraid I'll be recaptured immediately."
"Just untie our chains and we'll buy you time to escape."
The chains jingled, and Xingshan and the other two stood up with solemn expressions.
"For the sake of Heaven."
Today is just one update~ The Taoist assassin Hua Shen was at the critical moment of refining medicine, and he kept silent even after hearing it hh
