For a long time, Zhang Yi felt uneasy.
He has been in a conflict and entanglement, and the reason is still because of Xing Rang. Although he dared to return to the sect only after finding out that Xing Rang was dead, he has been suspicious since he came back. This is no wonder for him, after all, his identity If it is leaked, Wulingzhang and even his father will get rid of him as soon as possible without any action from the sect, so as to show to the Wulingsong that it has nothing to do with what he does in private.
His life was at stake, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
However, no matter how cautious Zhang Yi was, he could only have random thoughts during this period of time. Of course, in addition to frightened random thoughts, he either sent people or inquired in person, and collected information from many sources about what Qian Chao and others were doing in the cold pool this time. All news on the line. The first thing he found out was that the reason why Qian Chao entered the cold pool was because the sect responded to Meng Cailou's request, and it was for Hua Cong. He knew about Wen Liang's trial. He also knew that Tang Ping also participated in the interrogation of Wen Liang. Afterwards, Wen Liang was executed by the clan. He also knew that Ma Hu was the one who carried out the execution. But what information came out from Wen Liang's interrogation? Zhang Yi asked There was no way to know. He was even worried that Xing Rang would tell Wen Liang his identity, which would put him in danger, but this possibility was too low.
The rest was about Hua Cong. Zhang Yi also learned in detail about Hua Cong's appearance when he was brought out from more than one of the Five Spirits elite disciples who participated in that incident, but he was not interested in Hua Cong. He secretly found those few Five Spirits elite disciples who had some friendship with him mainly to inquire about the news about Xing Rang, but he did not dare to show it too obviously. After carefully making insinuations, he came to the same result. Those people did not Qian Chao was not seen bringing anyone else out, and after coming out, Qian Chao used his means to completely seal off the cold pool, making it impossible to enter again.
The next thing Zhang Yi found out was that Xing Rang's body was handed over to the inner hall of Cheng Qi Hall by Qian Chao. It is said that Xing Rang was buried somewhere in a kneeling position and was handed over to Cheng Qi Hall by Qian Chao along with Xing Rang's body. There is also a precious classic that was stolen by Xing Rang in his early years. It is said that Qian Chao's move can be regarded as a contribution to the inner hall of Chengqi Hall, which is really a good thing.
These are all the things Zhang Yi has heard these days. At this point, he should believe that Xing Rang is dead. Ordinarily, with Xing Rang's death, Zhang Yi's biggest secret, which is his identity as a spiritual cultivator, will also follow. Xing Rang's body was buried forever in the soil, and it was impossible for anyone to know about it. Logically speaking, he should feel relieved, but Zhang Yi still felt uneasy.
It is true that he will not feel at ease in his heart. During this period of time, he constantly comforted himself, analyzed and explained to himself from all aspects, and proved to himself that he was safe. But by doing so, he made it clear that there was still a considerable sense of crisis. .
Zhang Yi fell into a deep conflict. He desperately hoped that what he heard was true, but at the same time he suspected that what he heard was false and was a trap set by Qian Chao against him. The real situation may be that Qian Chao and five others captured Xing Rang in Hanshui and interrogated him. Since Tang Ping can participate in the interrogation of Wen Liang, it means that she has the means to interrogate Xing Rang. The mind-searching technique is not Such a brilliant illusion, there is still no problem in interrogating Xing Rang. Maybe those five people got what they wanted from Xing Rang's words, and then Xing Rang was naturally useless. They killed him, and when they came out, they said that Xing Rang was already dead to deceive him.
This is what Zhang Yi is most worried about.
But then he felt something was wrong. If Qian Chao had learned his hidden identity from Xing Rang, then Xing Rang should not have died. Qian Chao would definitely let Xing Rang live and take him out to the sect. Then the sect will definitely control Zhang Yi and let him and Xing Rang confront each other.
Is it because the Wuling Zhang family is involved, and Qian Chao and others are too timid to offend the Zhang family?
This obviously shouldn't be the case. Jing Jie's tragic end shows that those five people don't care about the Five Spirits and Five Clan at all. The Jing family is much more powerful than the Zhang family in the sect.
Then why didn't Qian Chao and those people bring Xing Rang out?
Zhang Yi couldn't figure it out as if he had entered a dead end.
The biggest mistake Zhang Yi made here was that he always believed that Qian Chao and others did not doubt him at first. Zhang Yi felt that the only way to expose his identity was through punishment. However, Qian did not know that during the Cheng Guan En Examination Chao had already targeted him, so all Zhang Yi's speculations were wrong.
What puzzles Zhang Yi is that if Qian Chao and others really interrogated Xing Rang and then got rid of him in the cold pool, why did they do this?
That was a greater achievement than finding a Chongling blood cultivator in the Five Spirits Sect than capturing Wen Liang alive and bringing out Hua Cong.
Later Zhang Yi thought of his master An Zaiyin.
Zhang Yi is a Chongling blood cultivator. He would never dare to let people know his identity. However, in any case, he is currently just a Chongling blood cultivator with Qi refining skills. He is an insignificant role. Very few secrets are known. Even if the Wuling Sect catches him and interrogates him, he won't be able to learn much from him.
But An Zaiyin is different. He is a spiritual blood cultivator with alchemy cultivation. If the Wuling Sect can capture An Zaiyin alive and interrogate him severely, they will definitely know from An Zaiyin's mouth. Many important things.
In Zhang Yi's opinion, An Zaiyin's identity must not have been exposed, because the sect has not even touched him yet.
Immediately, Zhang Yi thought that the sect could actually capture him secretly. After interrogation, they would naturally know who his master was. So why didn't they do this?
This is a bit strange.
Then Zhang Yi figured it out. Just because the sect didn't know who his master was, it didn't dare to do this. No matter how secretly the arrest was, Zhang Yi's elders would definitely know about it. After all, Zhang Yi's position in the sect was The scope of his activities is not wide. Except for occasional gatherings with Zong Xi and others, he spends almost all his time at his residence and with his family. Zongmen must have considered that it cannot be ruled out that his master is one of the Zhang family members. He was an elder, so he didn't dare to do this, otherwise if he were touched, he might be alerted, causing Zhang Yi's master to escape immediately and never be able to pursue him again.
It is very possible or even very possible that Qian Chao and the five people want to make greater contributions. They are simply not satisfied with just catching a Chongling blood cultivator with Qi refining skills. They don't want to take action immediately because they are worried about alerting the enemy, but Want to find out who his master is by following the clues and then close the net?
That must be it!
An Zaiyin sensed something was wrong after Qian Chao sealed the cold pool with a formation, so he immediately left the Wuling Sect and disappeared without a trace. He has not returned yet and is not in the sect, but before leaving, An Zaiyin also said that if he heard If the situation in Cold Pond calms down and everything is safe, he will return.
Is it Qian Chao who wants to target Zhang Yi’s master?
No, how could those five Qian Chao have the qualifications to deal with a pill-forming monk? If this was really the case, then it wasn't Qian Chao and the five people, but... the Five Spirits Sect was watching covetously from behind!
If what he thought above is true, then the current calmness of Wuling Sect on the surface is all an illusion. Privately, he doesn’t know how many eyes are staring at him. When he thinks of this, Zhang Yi’s heart A deep chill arose.
If An Zaiyin heard the news from the sect outside, would he think that he had successfully overcome this crisis?
If An Zaiyin returns to Wuling Sect from outside one day, will he come to see him? Even if Zhang Yi deliberately avoided An Zaiyin, although the Five Spirits Sect was large, they were still in the same small world. Over time, some flaws might be exposed inadvertently, which would arouse the suspicion of the Five Spirits Sect.
Then it's all over!
An Zaiyin, Master, you must think carefully about whether it is really safe before you come back!
Or... just don't come back!
Although these are Zhang Yi's own thoughts and there is no real evidence to prove it, it is indeed possible. Because of this, such as uneasiness, restlessness in sitting and lying, unwillingness to eat, restlessness in sleeping, suspicion, and the roar of the wind, The six gods have no masters, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. These can all be used on Zhang Yi. During this period of time, he always suppressed his inner uneasiness, but still had to have the same calm and indifferent expression on his face, which is not too old for his age. For Zhang Yi, it was very torturous.
During this period, Zhang Yi has been suspicious. Everyone who appears around him will be deeply suspected by him in private. At the same time, he tries to dig out the deep meaning from the faces of everyone he meets. He is always in this situation. This situation is undoubtedly an unbearable torture!
Of course, Zhang Yi still didn't know that his master, An Zaiyin, had died outside.
What made Zhang Yi even more disgusted during this period was that he had to deal with questioning and harassment from some people.
Mainly Lou Qingyao and Zong Xi.
It took a long time for Qian Chao and others to enter the cold pool, which lasted for more than ten days. During this period, Zhang Yi stayed near the cold pool and did not dare to leave. How long did Qian Chao and others enter? After waiting uneasily outside for a long time, Qian Chao and others came out and returned to the sect. Zhang Yi didn't dare to follow them back right away. He stayed outside for a few days and quietly inquired about the news before he plucked up the courage to come back. In other words, Zhang Yi disappeared in front of Zong Xiang and Lou Qingyao for nearly twenty days.
Disappearing for so many days at once will definitely make Zong Xi, Lou Qingyao and others puzzled and confused. After meeting, they will definitely ask Zhang Yi why.
Zhang Yi's answer was that he heard someone sent a letter that day saying that Qian Chao and others quietly slipped out of the clan and did not know what they were doing. Out of curiosity, he went to check it out in person. Unexpectedly, those people actually entered the cold pool, and there were still people there. Being guarded by the elite disciples in the sect, out of curiosity, he stared at the cold pool for a few days to see what was going on.
When he sat with Zong Xi, Lou Qingyao and others again, it was already many days after he returned to the sect. After hearing Zhang Yi's reply, and then contacting the rumors that had been circulating in the sect during this period, Zong Xi and Lou Qingyao did not doubt it, they just thought that Zhang Yi was too eager to get rid of Qian Chao and others. The one they talked about the most later was Hua Cong, because none of them expected that they had been together with them. Hua Cong, the handsome man who was chatting happily at the wine table, turned out to be a spiritual cultivator, and he also ended up half human and half dead.
Among them, Zong Xi also said that Qian Chao and others not only captured Hua Cong from the cold pool and handed it over to the monks from Meng Cailou, but also captured Wen Liang alive. This time, the five people were given to him again. Zongmen had accomplished a great feat. Zhang Yi could hear that Zong Xi was still hesitant about getting rid of Qian Chao. Now he was even more worried about the possible consequences of this matter. Zong Xi seemed to have done it intentionally or unintentionally. In retreat.
However, Lou Qingyao just smiled after hearing this. What she said was that she only wanted to get the Qingluan Egg and had nothing else. The implication was very clear. It was someone else who wanted to get rid of Qian Chao and the five others. , and it was Zong Xi’s cousin... Zong Cheng.
When he heard this, Zong Xi could only sigh. There was nothing he could do about his cousin. In fact, he couldn't understand why Zong Cheng would intervene so suddenly, and Zong Cheng's purpose was more important than Zhang Yi wants to be more radical. Not only does she want to get rid of Qian Chao and the others, but she also wants to get rid of a Jing family's descendant. This will inevitably cause another wave of trouble among the five clans in the sect.
