Chapter 1422 Assassination
Du Chun knew that period of history better than Ye Xiaochuan. She experienced it personally, unlike Ye Xiaochuan, who only heard about it through hearsay.
She immediately found the crux of the matter.
Someone did die back then. If the person who died was not Yuan Shaoqin, then who would it be?
There are not many people in the Cangyun Sect who are willing to die for Yuan Shaoqin and who have the ability to replace Yuan Shaoqin without anyone noticing.
Ye Xiaochuan asked Du Chun which of Cangyun's disciples had a very good relationship with Yuan Shaoqin back then, or who had received great favors from Yuan Shaoqin and had the conditions to be disguised as Yuan Shaoqin. Du Chun thought for a long time and said: "There are four people. One is Senior Brother Gu Jianchi, who is Yuan Shaoqin's junior brother. It can be said that everything that Senior Brother Gu Jianchi learned when he was young came from Yuan Shaoqin. The second one is Zhao Wuji, as you should know better. He is dull and dull. He was once just an outer disciple of Cangyun Sect. It was Yuan Shaoqin who discovered him and tried his best to support him. That's why Senior Brother Zhao was lucky enough to join Master Chiyan's disciples and become a popular figure among the young disciples of Cangyun Sect over the years. The third one is Sun Yao. Although he is younger, I heard that he is in the Samsara Peak Dining Hall. When he was working as a handyman, it was Yuan Shaoqin who discovered his extraordinary qualifications and recommended him to Master Yunhe, which made Sun Yao transform from a handyman disciple to a phoenix. The fourth person should be Ask, Ask. Dao Nai is Yuan Shaoqin's cousin. Yuan Shaoqin asked
It's great for him. These four people might have been willing to disguise themselves and die in Yuan Shaoqin's place. "
Ye Xiaochuan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Ye Xiaochuan was worried that Xiao Qiang would cause trouble in the team, but similar things had already begun to happen in the Demon Sect.
The temple has been very lively recently. The major factions, halls, branches, and casual cultivators of the Demon Sect have all gathered in the temple to discuss major world affairs.
They have been quarreling in Xuanhuo Temple for more than ten days, and they have fought several times in the temple like gangsters, but they still haven't come up with a result that everyone can accept.
A few days ago, Qilisi, Tianwen and other young disciples were still interested in watching the excitement outside Xuanhuo Palace, but later they found it boring. Apart from the disciples guarding the Five Elements Flag, there were only two or three birds outside the main hall. Those demons The elite disciples from all the sects came here too lazy to do so.
Wanyan Wutear did not leave the temple. During this period, she has been living in the temple, feeling very sad in her heart.
People in the Holy Religion often laugh at the intrigues and intrigues between the various sects of the righteous way, but in the Holy Religion, is this not the case?
It is understandable that the various sects of righteousness fight to the death in private. After all, their sects are different. There is Taoism and Xuanmen, and there is Buddhism and Buddhism.
However, the lineage of the Holy Cult was created by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor. Even if it is torn into pieces, it is still the same lineage that broke the bones and connected the tendons.
Over the years, brothers and sisters have either fought for power or killed each other. Now that the disaster is approaching, they are still arguing for their own interests. It is really chilling.
Xuan Ying and Fengyi both said that based on the previous two experiences, the place where the catastrophe will come is very likely to be the Western Region. The Western Region is the foundation of the Holy Religion. If they are not united, the Western Region will probably be devastated and mourned everywhere. This was a fatal blow to the Holy Religion.
Of course, the big guys like the Holy Cult quarreled and fought, but they still took necessary precautions. They were also worried about what if a catastrophe really happened?
The thirty-six countries in the Western Region had begun to prepare for the attack seven days ago. All males over the age of fourteen were recruited into the army. Currently, they have 6.7 million combatable troops, and this number is increasing every day.
The grassland is also a place controlled by the Demon Cult. Nomads of all sizes began to gather at the Heihe Ranch. Now there are nineteen puffs of smoke, more than eight million war horses, nearly 30 million cattle and sheep, and four million grassland warriors. He took out the scimitar from his waist.
The Heihe Ranch is the last resort of the Western Region and the grassland. Once a catastrophe strikes, the old, weak, women and children in the Western Region and the grasslands will retreat to the Black River Pasture to wait for the young warriors to triumph. Now a large amount of food reserves have been continuously shipped there.
It was under the command of the Demonic Cult that the thirty-six countries of the Western Region and the grassland nomads started the war machine in a short period of time.
These messages were all received by Changkong just now, and they were spoken loudly in the temple. Tuo Bayu, the leader of the Tianmo Sect, said: "In just a few days, our western regions and northern grasslands have assembled tens of millions of combatable soldiers, with sufficient food reserves, and the Heihe Ranch as our rear area, plus our Holy Cult With two hundred thousand cultivators, why would such a powerful force form an alliance with the cultivators from Middle-earth?
"Ghost Sword Demon King said: "This is wrong. Although our strength is strong, it is still inferior to that of Middle-earth, let alone face the great catastrophe alone. At this moment, we should continue to contact the Middle-earth sects and reach an alliance. Whether it is the land of the Western Regions or the land of the grasslands, they are all one horse
There is no danger to defend in Pingchuan, unlike the many dangerous fortresses in Middle-earth..."
Chen Xuanjia said: "Huh, last time we had good intentions and formed an alliance with China, but the result was that we were disgraced. They just wanted us to suffer heavy losses in the catastrophe so that we could reap the benefits. When the catastrophe comes, we can only rely on ourselves. If you want to rely on others with the sword in your hand, you will only die! "
The two sides started to quarrel again, and Wanyan walked out of the temple shaking her head without tears. As long as they quarreled, they would roll up their sleeves and start fighting later, and she was a little tired of it. Walking out of the Xuanhuo Palace and walking down the long stone steps, you can see Qilisi riding a sweet and sour pork ribs leisurely and leisurely in the distance. Qilisi is also carrying a roasted and fragrant lamb leg in her hand, and she has not taken a bite. Bite one bite at a time. Many disciples of the Five Elements Banner in the temple who passed by would take out meat from time to time.
Throw dry food to her and she will accept it.
Seeing Wanyan Wulei approaching from afar, Qilisi was overjoyed. She sat on the back of Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, waved the half-eaten leg of lamb in her hand, and shouted, "Sister Wulei!"
A warm smile appeared on his tearless face.
However, the smile solidified in an instant.
She shouted: "Be careful!"
Too late, but not too long, a strange light shot out from the crowd and pierced Qilisi's back.
The distance was too close, and Qilisi was defenseless. Even if Wanyan Wu Lei found out, it was already too late to save her.
Even though Qilisi moved a little, the strange light still penetrated her body with a pop.
Wan Yan Wu Lei flew over almost as soon as the magic light came on. With a roll of the Divine Whip of Farewell, he wrapped up the young disciple wearing the Qingmu Banner costume who was sneaking up on him in the crowd. He pulled hard and the man screamed. The person fell to the ground.
Qilisi, however, covered her heart with her hands, and the black blood slowly stained her upper body. Her body and the half leg of lamb slowly rolled down from the ice unicorn's back to the ground.
Bing Qilin was shocked, and instantly sprayed out a cold mist from his mouth, quickly sealing Qilisi's wound and stopping her bleeding. However, Qilisi's face became paler and gradually turned black. Blue-black blood overflowed from the mouth and nose from time to time, which was obviously poisonous. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak a word clearly, and she could only make a hiccup sound in her throat.
