After learning about An Zaiyin's death, Zhang Yi suppressed his inner turmoil and returned to his residence. The moment he closed the door, all the energy in his body was drained out of him and he almost collapsed on the ground.
Putting aside the relationship between him and An Zaiyin as master and disciple, Zhang Yi had no doubt about An Zaiyin's death. Except for the natal lamp being extinguished, An Zaiyin's cave was occupied by others. Climbing Yuhu Mountain or dying will never happen.
Then the question becomes, when did An Zaiyin die.
The foundation-building monks I met just now said that the incident happened during the Cheng Guan En Examination. If that was really the case, it would make Zhang Yi feel at ease.
The Cheng Guan En Trial did not last very long. What happened at that time?
Zhang Yi clearly remembers that Hanchichi was blocked by Qian Chao when the Chengguan Entrance Examination just started. Although Qian Chao did not personally do anything there, all the formations and arrangements there were made by Qian Chao. The person who launched the formation at that time, Zhang Yi, recognized the Hand of Chao as Shang Jie. After sealing off the cold pool, that person immediately returned to the Wuling Sect and reported the incident to Qian Chao.
If An Zaiyin died outside soon after, then the cold pool was still tightly closed when he died. Zhang Yi was very sure of this, because he had been staring at Qian Chao from beginning to end. Qian Chao only went into the cold pool once, the time when he brought Wen Liang and Hua Cong out not long ago.
In other words, when An Zaiyin died, he could not get out of the cold pool regardless of life or death. Wen Liang was also inside, and Hua Cong had just entered the cold pool. At that time, almost all the elders in the sect were paying attention. Downstairs in Chengguan and on the ring, the sect's disciples were fighting over each other's skills. At that time, even the centenary ceremony had not even begun, nor had Lou Qingyao been forced to stay in the Five Spirits Sect during the centenary ceremony. things happen.
Zhang Yi didn't know exactly what day An Zaiyin died, but he thought it would be before or after Qian Chao and others came on stage when he died outside.
In other words, at that time, it was impossible for Qian Chao to know the true identity of Zhang Yi through Xing Rang, and there was no way to follow the clues and find out An Zaiyin through him.
Was An Zaiyin's death really an accident?
Was An Zaiyin being targeted by some enemy outside or something unexpected happened?
Does this mean Zhang Yi is safe now?
Not yet!
If Qian Chao really found a rotting corpse when he found Xing Rang in the cold pool, it would mean that Zhang Yi was safe. Although there were rumors a while ago, Zhang Yi himself inquired about Xing Rang when he was brought out. A rotten corpse, which meant that Xing Rang had been dead for a long time before Qian Chao entered the cold pool, but there was always a trace of doubt in Zhang Yi's heart, which almost became his heartache.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, An Zaiyin did not die during the Cheng Guan En Examination, but died recently or not long ago.
However, Zhang Yi thought about it again and again and concluded that this possibility was unlikely.
If the Wuling Sect had recently found out An Zaiyin's identity and sent people to chase him and then killed him in the fight, how was An Zaiyin's identity exposed?
Was An Zaiyin himself exposed because he accidentally exposed something in the sect? Zhang Yi thinks this is impossible. An Zaiyin has been in the sect for how many years. To be able to become an alchemy monk, he must have been in the Five Spirits Sect for a long time. He has not been exposed for so many years. It can only be said that as he grows older, With the growth of Yue and Xiu, An Zaiyin is becoming more and more sophisticated and reserved. How could he have exposed his identity recently?
Was it the Wuling Sect who found An Zaiyin by staring at him? That's even more impossible. Even if Qian Chao found Xing Rang in the cold pool and he was still alive, and Tang Ping had interrogated Xing Rang, they could only know Zhang Yi's name from Xing Rang's words, and it was impossible to know An Zai. Yin wanted to find out An Zaiyin. In addition to interrogating Zhang Yi, he secretly observed Zhang Yi's movements. However, it seemed that the Wuling Sect didn't know who his master was and was worried that even if he was caught secretly, he would be alerted. , so we can only keep an eye on him secretly. But since An Zaiyin left the Wuling Sect, Zhang Yi has never seen him again. Even if he hears news about him again, it will be news of his death. Even if the Wuling Sect wants to follow the lead through Zhang Yi, there is no such opportunity.
There is another point that Zhang Yi thinks is also very important, that is, the Dan-Jie monk named Xue Ya who now occupies An Zaiyin's cave. If a Dan-Jie monk takes a fancy to the cave of another Dan-Jie monk, and there is The alchemy-forming monk from the good cave still died outside. According to common sense, the monk who liked the other cave should not immediately make a request to the sect to change the cave just after learning about the death of the other cave. This seems a bit... ...Hmm... Or rather, it's very unkind. It seems that the elder named Xue Ya is waiting for the news of An Zaiyin's death and can't wait to get An Zaiyin's cave. Although Xue Ya can't do it for a cave. To kill people, but if he had to move to An Zaiyin's cave shortly after An Zaiyin died, this would indeed be a bit disappointing or uncomfortable. In any case, Xue Ya should wait for a while, or wait for the sect to find out what happened to An Zaiyin outside before he died, or wait a little longer before requesting to be transferred to An Zaiyin's cave. , this is only reasonable.
Xue Ya had obviously just asked the sect for An Zaiyin's cave, and it was approved. Several of his disciples were busy cleaning up the place. It must be that An Zaiyin must have been dead for a long time, and Xue Ya also It must have been a long wait.
Are you really safe?
Zhang Yi still wasn't sure.
You won't get anything by waiting in the room, so it's better to go out and take a look.
After Zhang Yi came out again, he first asked where the elder named Xue Ya's cave was. He wanted to see if it was true as his disciples said, that Xu Ya's previous cave was not as good as An Zaiyin's cave. At least the scenery is worse.
Soon Zhang Yi found Elder Xue Ya's cave. After looking around quietly, he found that it was exactly what he heard. Elder Xue's cave was crowded together with the caves of several Jie Dan elders. What was going on inside? Yi naturally couldn't see it, and it was impossible to knock on the door and go in to see what was going on. But the outside is indeed not spacious. After all, several caves were built close to each other, and there was not much open space. In addition, several of Elder Xue’s disciples built several small buildings for living in front of his cave, so at least Elder Xue allowed The outside of the cave looks narrow and crowded, which makes it very unpleasant to look at. Zhang Yi, of An Zaiyin's cave, naturally knew it. The front door was wide, and the exquisiteness he saw after opening the door was indeed good. No wonder the elder Xue Ya wanted to move to An Zaiyin's cave to practice.
After understanding this, Zhang Yi began to inquire about An Zaiyin.
It took Zhang Yi some time to find out. After all, An Zaiyin was the elder of Jiedan. Asking about him was different from Zhang Yi who sent people to keep an eye on Qian Chao. The place where the monks' natal lamps were placed in the Wuling Sect was It is an important place, a place that people with Qi refining skills like Zhang Yi can never enter. Even if he inquires about An Zaiyin, he must be careful, so he just asked his elders seemingly unintentionally about Elder Xue Ya. Changing the cave. After quietly asking around, Zhang Yi found that it was exactly what he heard from Xue Ya's disciples. It was said that An Zaiyin had fallen for a long time, around the time of the Chengguan Enshi. After the lights went out, the sect took it very seriously. In order to find out what happened, they immediately blocked the news and sent people to investigate. However, after a long period of investigation, there was no result, so they could only write down the incident and leave it behind. I will slowly investigate in the future. If the murderer of An Zaiyin can be found, the sect will definitely send people out to take revenge!
When Zhang Yi heard this, he already believed that An Zaiyin was killed shortly after leaving the Wuling Sect. Although he didn't know who did it, he probably had nothing to do with the Wuling Sect.
This means two things to Zhang Yi.
First of all, all his worries, doubts and fears are groundless. They are just his own suspicions. Now that Xing Rang is dead and An Zaiyin is dead, it is impossible for anyone in this world to know his identity as a Chongling Blood Cultivator. , from now on he is absolutely safe, without any threat;
Secondly, even if Qian Chao catches Xing Rang in Hanshui, Tang Ping also interrogates him and learns Zhang Yi’s name from Xing Rang’s mouth. This is the worst result. Then the Wuling Sect will not be able to pass The plan to alarm Zhang Yi and instead follow the clues to find out who his master is and then catch them all will definitely fail. An Zaiyin is already dead outside, so how can we catch him.
The source of all the uneasiness in Zhang Yi's heart was his paranoia, which was whether Qian Chao found Xing Rang alive in the cold pool.
During this period of time, things have been calm in the clan, everything seems normal, and Zhang Yi can't find anything wrong. In fact, she herself is gradually shaking. By keeping a close eye on the money tide, he can feel it. Qian Chao and the others didn't seem to be interested in him at all. Instead, he took the initiative to deal with Qian Chao and the others.
Did he do something wrong?
…
Of course Zhang Yi did nothing wrong.
All his recent discoveries were secretly arranged by Tang Bonian.
If you want to deceive Zhang Yi, and if you want to take a long-term approach to catch a big fish, you must let Zhang Yi know about An Zaiyin's death.
When An Zaiyin died, monks from Meng Cailou were also present. They found evidence to capture Hua Cong's master. After this incident, Wuling Sect had made an agreement with Meng Cailou to be strict about this matter. To keep it secret, even when Meng Cailou suppressed Hua Cong in the sect, he could not reveal the affairs of An Zaiyin and the Five Spirits monks.
At the same time, after the Wuling Sect failed to capture An Zaiyin, Tang Bonian immediately made secret arrangements within the sect.
All the revealed news was spread under the arrangement of Tang Bonian. In order to paralyze Zhang Yi, the time of An Zaiyin's death was of course greatly advanced. At the same time, it was also fabricated that the sect discovered that An Zaiyin's natal lamp was extinguished. Send someone out immediately to investigate the lie. These have long been spread among the Danjie monks, but Zhang Yi is a Qi refining disciple. It is difficult for him to hear anything about the Danjie monks, but when he found out about An Zai When you inquire about Yin's death, you will find that these things have long been known to everyone among the Jiedan monks, so there will be no doubts.
As for the elder Xue Ya who moved to Anzaiyin Cave, he was a man of clean origin and trustworthy. At the same time, Tang Bonian had a good personal relationship with him in private, so Tang Bonian asked him for help in changing the cave. That's all, and the cave he changed to was a very good one, so Xue Ya agreed immediately.
Of course, all arrangements can only serve to deceive or induce from the outside. No matter how clever and seamless the arrangement is, it cannot have an immediate effect, so Tang Bonian's arrangement must also be like Qian Chao's. Only if people cooperate. After making these arrangements, Tang Bonian sent Tang Ping to call Qian Chao to his cave for a long talk. In addition to telling Qian Chao all the arrangements, he also told him that the layout must be comprehensive and long-term. . Tang Bonian told Qian Chao that he was only dealing with Zhang Yi this time. If he had to deal with any powerful person in the future, and when a plan was needed to lure him into the trap, he must start in advance, and the plan must be comprehensive and smooth. The size must be taken into consideration. This can be regarded as Tang Bonian's cultivation of Qian Chao.
