Chapter 321 Betrayal
After hearing Cao Rongxue's account of the battle at Qingniu Ridge, Liu Wenguan quickly confirmed that it was Wu Wenlong's group that attacked Huanglongfang.
He didn't seem to expect that there was such a group of bandits hiding on Qingniu Ridge next to the market. After hearing the news, his face was also very surprised.
"Fellow Daoists, the market has been destroyed and we have nowhere to stay. Why don't you follow me to Fengguyuan and report this to the elders of the sect to see if we can be reassigned a task."
"Brother Liu, we have sent a message to Brother Wang before we came back. It is estimated that they will arrive here in half a day at most. Let's stay here and wait for him to arrive!" Hearing Liu Wenguan's thoughts, Wei Tianhe, who had not spoken, suddenly made a suggestion.
"Fellow Daoist Wei is right. We have sent a message to Fellow Daoist Wang and the others. If we leave without staying here, they will mistake us for deserters." Seeing that Wei Tianhe raised a different opinion, Cao Rongxue, who thought it was reasonable, agreed with him without thinking too much.
Seeing that no one objected and obviously thought that Wei Tianhe was right, Liu Wenguan glanced at everyone awkwardly, thought about it for a while and did not insist. He immediately agreed that everyone should stay and wait for the monks who came to support.
Regarding whether to leave or stay, Song Qingming also thought it would be better to stay, but he suddenly felt a little confused at this moment. The relationship between Wei Tianhe and Liu Wenguan seemed to become a little strange.
Among the eight cultivators in Huanglongfang, only Liu Wenguan and Wei Tianhe are the genuine core disciples of Lingyin Sect. The others are foundation-building cultivators who came from other places to support this war, just like Song Qingming and Cao Rongxue. Most of them, like Zhao Mengzhen, are here to stay for a year or two and then leave, and have never thought about staying here forever.
So although everyone is a foundation-building cultivator in name and has equal status here, the cultivators who manage the affairs of the market have always been Liu Wenguan and Wei Tianhe, and the others rarely speak out their ideas.
In the past six months, Liu Wenguan has always had the final say in managing the affairs of Huanglongfang and the decision-making of some tasks. Although Wei Tianhe is also a cultivator of Lingyin Sect, he has basically never raised any objections when everyone in the market discussed matters in the past. Everything is based on Liu Wenguan's ideas.
This was the first time that Song Qingming saw Wei Tianhe directly refute his opinion in front of everyone, which made him think more about why Wei Tianhe had such a strange change.
Not only him, but also Cao Rongxue and another cultivator surnamed He also felt a little strange, but they didn't think much about it. They thought that Wei Tianhe was a little scared because he saw the tragic scene of Huanglongfang being breached, so he didn't care about giving face to Liu Wenguan in front of everyone.
The five of them cleared a relatively clean place in Huanglongfang together. After waiting for about half an hour, they suddenly saw more than a dozen sword lights flying quickly towards the market from a distance.
"It's Brother Wang and the others." As Liu Wenguan shouted, Song Qingming and others stood up quickly and looked carefully at the people rushing in front.
Song Qingming, who was more observant, soon discovered that the clothes on the other side seemed a little strange. Except for the leader who was indeed wearing the clothes of Xiaoyao Sect, the others were all wearing a variety of clothes. It was too far away and it was not clear.
When they were only a few hundred feet away from here, Cao Rongxue, who had been staring at these people, suddenly felt that the leader's eyes seemed familiar. After confirming his identity, she hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Go! Those people from Tianhai League are back to kill."
When they heard this voice, Song Qingming and others panicked. They were about to leave the market immediately, but turned around and found that a big net had been slowly falling down on their heads.
"Shit, what are you doing, Liu Daoyou?"
"Since you don't want to leave here, then stay!" Liu Wenguan, who was just talking and laughing with his colleagues, suddenly changed to a weird expression with a sneer on his face, and tried hard to control the golden net in his hand to cover Song Qingming and others.
Seeing that Liu Wenguan suddenly turned against them in front of everyone, even a fool would know that he had betrayed Lingyin Sect. Everyone took out their own magic weapons and prepared to eliminate the threat from Liu Wenguan.
Although Liu Wenguan's cultivation was higher than the others, Song Qingming and others had just returned here after a brutal battle. At this moment, facing his sneak attack, everyone reacted quickly.
Before his golden net magic weapon approached everyone, Wei Tianhe had already used a red bronze mirror and flew high into the sky to control Liu Wenguan's magic weapon.
"Ningxin Mirror, I didn't expect that Junior Brother Wei actually had the magic weapon given by Uncle Fang in his hand. It seems that you have already suspected me!" After seeing the magic weapon in Wei Tianhe's hand, Liu Wenguan's face suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
"Since the start of this war, enemy monks have often appeared near Huanglongfang. Master Fang has already secretly arranged a lot of people to investigate in the vicinity. Otherwise, how do you think we found these people hiding in Qingniu Ridge?"
With the help of Wei Tianhe to contain Liu Wenguan's magic weapon, Song Qingming and others hurriedly ran out from the range of the golden net attack.
In fact, only Wei Tianhe had suspected Liu Wenguan's betrayal, and there was not much surprise on his face. Song Qingming and others just felt a little strange until just now, and never thought about it.
Now thinking back, I suddenly realized that some of Liu Wenguan's previous behaviors and some of the things he arranged did have many strange loopholes, but at that time they did not dare to imagine that he had already become a traitor.
For example, the enemy attacked Huanglongfang twice in a row within half a year, and the others were basically killed and injured, only Liu Wenguan survived unscathed every time.
Now that everyone knows that he had already surrendered to the enemy, everything can be explained immediately. It is estimated that the heavy damage to Huanglongfang in these two battles must be caused by him behind the scenes.
Wu Wenlong and his men hid in Qingniuling, a ghost place, for such a long time without being discovered. It seems that this is also inseparable from the secret support of the traitor Liu Wenguan behind the scenes.
