Chapter 26: Murder Approaches

Wen Zhong dragged his hands in vain, and said expressionlessly: "Get up, I told you to follow Yuan Futong and not to contact me unless it's important, how can you be so inattentive."

Zhang Dinghai had just felt a huge force that made him stand up. When he heard the hidden reproach in Wen Zhong's words, he was about to kneel on the ground again, but he felt his body was fixed and he could not kneel any further.

"Don't kneel randomly if you have nothing to do. I'm not a high and mighty god, nor am I the emperor in Chaoge. If you don't find it unlucky, I do."

Wen Zhong waved his hands in disdain.

Zhang Dinghai was a thorn he had planted next to Yuan Futong. Zhang Dinghai showed up just a few days after being planted, making Wen Zhong feel that he had entrusted his trust to the wrong person.

Yuan Futong is not a fool. He will definitely send people to monitor Zhang Dinghai. This chess piece is probably useless.

I just don’t know what good news it can bring to myself.

He asked, "You don't seem to be such a reckless person, but things have changed."

Zhang Dinghai immediately bowed and said, "Grand Master, please understand. Originally, Yuan Futong was planning to join forces with Jizhou Hou Su Hu to rebel against you, but who knew that a young man would show up halfway and negate Yuan Futong's original plan with just a few words. Now they don't plan to deal with you, Grand Master."

A strange look flashed across Wen Zhong's face, and he asked curiously, "What are they going to do? I originally thought that if he was desperate, he could still be called a hero. Is he just waiting to be cut by my blunt knife?"

Zhang Dinghai: "They intend to pretend to obey but secretly disobey. They will accept the military order but will not put in any effort to attack the city. They will reserve their strength and delay until the Grand Tutor can no longer bear it and takes action himself~"

"Sigh~"

Wen Zhong suddenly felt a headache. His original plan was to take advantage of Yuan Futong's rebellion so that he would have a logical reason to quell the rebellion and wipe out all the big and small princes in the northern border in one fell swoop. But if these princes really responded in this way, he would be in trouble.

Baishi City is a tough nut to crack. Beiman has the North Sea Monster Clan as his helper, so he will have to suffer heavy losses if he tries to take it down.

Unless ~ go to Jinao Island for help.

But if he returned in disgrace, he would inevitably be looked down upon by his senior brothers.

By then, he will inevitably be slandered in front of the master.

He couldn't help but wonder: "How come Yuan Futong is a man, but he suddenly behaves like a woman? Could it be that the young boy you mentioned is a woman?"

Zhang Dinghai shook his head: "The boy's name is Yang Jian. I heard from Su Hu that he is a disciple of Yuxu Palace. Su Hu intends to make him his son-in-law."

He told Yang Jian everything he had said, except for Su Daji. In his heart, Su Daji already belonged to him, and he naturally couldn't bear to see Su Daji get hurt, so he deliberately concealed it.

"Yuxu Palace?"

Wen Zhong's eyes became deep. It was not surprising that the Yuxu Palace disciple named Yang Jian knew his background, but he actually guessed the plan of the third generation of his disciples.

Could it be that the Chan sect has already noticed their purpose and deliberately sent disciples to oppose him?

This is difficult to do.

The Chan sect has always been protective of its own people. If they really intervene, they might beat up the younger ones and then the older ones.

In the end, the situation got bigger and bigger until it was out of control.

This matter should be treated with caution.

"Why don't you do it?"

Wen Zhong asked suddenly.

Zhang Dinghai panicked and stammered, not knowing what to say: "Little~ little man~"

Before he could finish his words, Wen Zhong interrupted him: "I didn't ask you."

Wen Zhong looked at the empty space to the side.

There was nothing there.

"You dare to hide your head and show your tail in front of my eyes, you are very courageous."

Wen Zhong stretched out his right hand, and a golden whip instantly appeared on his palm. He wielded the golden whip and hit the air.

As the golden whip was about to approach, ripples suddenly appeared in the empty place.

A gray figure appeared.

The figure was wearing a conical hat, so his face couldn't be seen clearly; he was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, so his body couldn't be seen clearly.

He was dressed the same as the guards around Yuan Futong, but his stature was a size smaller.

His figure flashed, and he disappeared from the big tent and came to the top of the tent.

His body shook again and went straight up into the sky, and it seemed that he was about to escape to heaven.

"Want to escape? Dreaming!"

Wen Zhong snorted coldly, and his figure flashed into the air. He whipped the figure from a distance, using his magical power of being so close yet so far away. Although he was attacking the air in front of him, his attack was everywhere.

The human figure shattered like tofu and turned into a ball of light, emitting a strong demonic aura.

It was actually a clone used to attract attention.

The real body must escape in secret.

The gray-clothed man with the bamboo hat thought that his magic was flawless and even Wen Zhong, who had the realm of an immortal and the eyes of magic, could not see through it, so he just let him play with him.

He was totally unaware of the pair of huge red eyes that appeared in the night sky behind him. They were like red lanterns hanging in the sky, and his figure seemed to blend into the night.

A bloody mouth opened silently and gradually enveloped the man in gray.

it's dark?
The man in gray found that the light dimmed and the originally bright moonlight suddenly disappeared.

When I looked up, I immediately realized that a disaster was imminent.

About to escape.

The bloody mouth bit down hard.

The man in gray flew out.

But only half of it flew out.

The remaining half was in the mouth of the black monster behind him.

“┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~”

The black beast let out a roar.

The gray-clothed man with only half of his body left was about to escape, but he was frightened by the roar of the giant beast and stood there as if he was under a spell.

Wen Zhong rushed over immediately and whipped the immobilized man in gray to death.

After the gray-clothed man died, his upper body swelled and turned into half a spider.

The black giant came over and spit out the remaining half from its mouth, which turned out to be a spider's butt and two pairs of limbs.

It is clearly an animal, but its body is covered with dense, black jade-like scales, which are hidden in the thick hair and only appear when the wind blows.

It was Wen Zhong's mount, the Black Qilin.

Wen Zhong put the spider demon's corpse into his sleeve and said, "You are just a little demon, and you dare to show off in front of me." He flashed back to the tent.

Staring at Zhang Dinghai, waiting for him to give an explanation.

"Grandmaster, that man is Yuan Futong's guard and looks very similar. I'm afraid Yuan Futong already knows that I'm here."

Zhang Dinghai, Marquis of Beihai Liao, spoke up.

Wen Zhong's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. It turned out that Yuan Futong was colluding with the demon clan. No wonder he dared to keep him here.

If this monster hadn't been so arrogant and dared to wander around under his eyes, he wouldn't have discovered it.

Only at this moment did he feel that the real thorny problem had emerged. If he did not respond, Beiqi would definitely return empty-handed.

Wen Zhong realized that he could not wait any longer, so he called in his senior disciple Deng Zhong who was standing outside the door and said, "Send the talisman to Mo Liqing immediately and ask him and Mo Lihong to come back immediately. Let the remaining two brothers be responsible for escorting the rebels."

"Master, what do you want~"

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

He sighed slightly. It seemed that he had to use the precious protective treasure given by his master to eliminate all variables.

Yang Jian?

Wen Zhong was pondering this unfamiliar name in his mind; he could not guess the deeper meaning of Yuxu Palace.

To kill or not to kill, that is the question!
Beihaihou Camp.

"Mr. Shan, what do you think?"

Yuan Futong looked at the guard wearing a bamboo hat. When he went to find Su Hu, he disguised himself as a guard and stood beside him.

However, no one would believe that this guard was the leader among the two.

The man in the straw hat took off his hat, revealing his hairy head with eight red eyes neatly arranged on it.

It looks very scary.

Yuan Futong was already used to it, so he took the hat and hung it on the side of the barracks.

Although he is the Marquis of Beihai, there is actually someone else who is in charge. No, it is someone else who is the demon.

He is just a puppet after all.

When he turned back, the robe on the tiger's body had turned into pieces of rags, leaving only a white jade spider.

This is the true form of the tiger.

"If what Yang Jian said is true, Wen Zhong must not be allowed to stay. He wants the North Sea, which means he wants to cut off the survival of the North Sea monsters."

"what do you mean?"

Yuan Futong stretched out his hand and crossed it over his head, making a beheading gesture.

"Yes, I have sent a message back, asking the king to send a great demon to guard the battlefield. This time, we must ensure that everything is foolproof. Even if Master Wen Zhong, the Golden Spirit Mother, comes, she will not be able to save her beloved disciple."

After hearing this, Yuan Futong showed a puzzled look on his face: "Then why did we give up on killing Wen Zhong when we were in Su Hu's camp? Wouldn't it be stronger if we united?"

"This is another thing I want you to do. I suspect that some of these people do not want to attack Wen Zhong and may betray us at any time. Now you are responsible for delaying Wen Zhong. Help will arrive within three days."

"Don't worry, Shanjun. I have been sending Shanjun's relatives to follow those marquises. If anyone shows any second thoughts, they will come back and report to us."

Yuan Futong continued excitedly, "Plus, what we said was to deliberately let Wen Zhong down and let his guard down, so that he would focus on how to capture Baishi City. He would never think that we would kill him in three days. Shanjun has the upper hand, and he only lacks time. He is sure to win."

"You are a teachable boy. No wonder the king chose you to be the Marquis of Beihai. When the time comes~"

Yuan Futong continued: "When the time comes, half of the people in the northern border will be given to the mountain king as blood food for his cultivation."

"I have another request."

"Please tell me, Tiger Master. I will certainly be satisfied."

"That Su Daji is pretty good. Once Wen Zhong is killed, I'll capture her and bring her to accompany me."

Hearing this, Yuan Futong felt unwilling. He was also interested in Su Daji and wanted to take her for himself.

With a difficult expression on his face, he asked tentatively, "The mountain lord said earlier that the black cat in Su Daji's arms has the cultivation level of an immortal. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it."

"Send some assassins tonight to test the strength of the black tiger," the tiger said casually with eight eyes. "Then I will take action to kill both Yang Jian and the black tiger, and then shift the blame to Wen Zhong. Let the Chan sect and Jie sect fight each other. We are as close as brothers, hey~."

After the tiger finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully.

"The mountain is wise."

Yuan Futong walked out of the tent and prepared to arrange manpower when he saw two streaks of light flash in the sky and fall directly to the east, where Wen Zhong was stationed.

A hint of doubt flashed through his mind, but he didn't think much about it.

Inside the tent, Su Daji held the pipa horizontally, plucked the thin strings, and the music flowed out from her fingertips.

Yang Jian was holding a bronze halberd and guarding outside the tent where Su Daji lived.

There were bursts of pipa sounds in his ears, which were not played very well and made him a little irritated.

I thought I still had to steal some soul essence.

He simply neglected his duty and wandered around casually, but his eyes were always focused on the tent where the bronze tripod was placed.

Suddenly, I felt uneasy for no apparent reason, as if a disaster was about to happen.

Has it been discovered?

Yang Jian subconsciously opened his magic eyes and looked around.

The devil's eye looked towards the east, and through the magical power of the Eye of Nirvana, he suddenly discovered a green light rising into the sky. The sharp sword energy seemed to cross a long distance and slash straight towards him.

The demon eye between his eyebrows suddenly felt a pain and blood oozed out.

Just one glance and the Demon Eye was injured.

"Qingping Sword!"

The Demon Eye's exclamation rang in his mind.

Yang Jian suddenly felt a chill circling around his neck, as if his head would fall off in the next moment.

Isn't Qingping Sword the sword of Master Tongtian? How come it appears here?

Could it be that Wen Zhong still has the Qingping Sword with him?
