As for the disappearance of Qian Chao and the other five people, whether it was Zhang Yi and others who went into the cave to check, or Shangguan Hong who stayed outside the cave to observe the movement, they all guessed wrong.
Qian Chao and the five people did not sneak away quietly in the middle of the night. In fact, the five of them left when it was almost dawn. Qian Chao also knows that he is under the surveillance of the other party. The other party must be most alert and watching closely at night, and when it is getting dark, it is when they start to relax, and instead of leaving in a hurry in the middle of the night, it is better to have a good rest first. Let’s talk about it later.
Moreover, Qian Chao and the other five people did not leave through the very secret second hole discovered by Zhang Yi.
In the hiding place that Zhang Yi and his party checked, there was a teleportation array that Qian Chao had set up here when he came to Broken Heart Valley. This teleportation array was still the one Qian Chao had placed on the sixth floor of Han Pond and The ones that have been discovered on the seventh level cannot be seen with the naked eye alone, or can only be seen with the help of his Blue Eyes Technique or other means. Well, the experience in Hanchichi did give Qian Chao some skills. At least he mastered this short-distance teleportation formation after studying it. When Zhang Yi and others carefully checked in the hiding place, more than one person had their feet on the formation, but no one noticed it, including Wu Han, who had a family inheritance of formation knowledge, because At that time, everyone was attracted by the hidden cave that was discovered, and that was also Qian Chao's old suspicion formation. The big stone blocking the cave passage was placed there by Lu Pingchuan under Qian Chao's guidance. Not only that, Qian Chao The vines at the entrance to the other side of the cave were also tampered with, making people think they had slipped away from here.
This place was discovered by Qian Chao when he came to Broken Heart Valley before. Not only this place, but also similar places. He specially found and arranged it in order to confuse people like Zhang Yi and Shangguan Hong in the future.
Obviously, this arrangement was very successful. Whether it was Zhang Yi or Shangguan Hong, after discovering these traces left deliberately by Qian Chao, when looking for Qian Chao and the five others, they would definitely go in the possible direction from that cave entrance. After chasing him, the five of them actually reached another place in Heartbreak Valley in an instant through the formation, at least far away from this cave.
The reason for this was because Qian Chao expected that it would be difficult to get rid of those people without the help of formations, and in this way, Shangguan Hong, Zhang Yi and his party were left together. According to Shangguan Hong's temperament, the relationship between the two parties There is likely to be another violent conflict.
What I want to say here is that Qian Chao was also worried about his arrangement like this at the beginning. The purpose of their trip to Broken Heart Valley was not only to let Lou Qingyao leave the Wuling Sect with the fake eggs, but there was also one important thing. The only thing is to save Jing Lu.
It's ironic to say that the person who wanted to kill Jing Lu was Zong Cheng, whom Jing Lu fell deeply in love with despite the objections of his elders.
Regarding the woman Zong Cheng, all Qian Chao could find out were some of her old stories. Qian Chao didn’t know much about this woman. He only knew that she not only had an unparalleled appearance, but also had a deep scheming mind. Her biggest characteristic was probably Even though this woman only has herself in her heart, Qian Chao has never seen this person. Among the five people, only Li Jian has looked at her through his own telepathy. Then Li Jian asserted to Qian Chao that this woman is very extraordinary and may be a good example for the future. 's archenemy.
As for Zong Cheng's intention to kill Jing Lu, Qian Chao based it on his own speculation. Of course, it was also based on the information provided by the two brothers Chao Zhu and Chao Chong. For the Chao family, Tang Bonian could be considered As a guarantee, you can trust it. During this trip to Broken Heart Valley, Qian Chao expected that among the thirteen people invited by Zhang Yi and Zong Xi, there must be someone who obeyed Zong Cheng's orders. After all, killing Jing Lu could not be done by Zong Xi or Zhang Yi. To take action, the person who takes action must be an outsider. In the end, the five Qian Chao, Zhang Yi and Shangguan Hong clashed with each other. When they fought together, that person would choose the opportunity to attack Jing Lu and kill him, and soon Maybe someone will get rid of that person immediately after he succeeds. Well, such a person may be Zong Xi or Zhang Yi.
Then the crime of killing Jing Lu will fall on Qian Chao.
Of course, everything is Qian Chao's guess, and verification will have to wait until the final action.
In Qian Chao's vision, if there is a conflict in the end, there are roughly three possibilities.
The first is that Qian Chao killed Jing Lu, or Zong Cheng secretly sent people to kill Jing Lu. In short, the blame for Jing Lu's death lies with Qian Chao and the other five.
The second is that Qian Chao and Jing Lu die together. Of course, this is unlikely.
The third possibility is that Qian Chao is killed by Jing Lu. Well, this possibility is even smaller.
In Qian Chao's view, Zong Cheng should know what the five of him had done in the past, such as the Cold Spring Valley Dashao, Zongwai's ten consecutive victories, defeating Wen Liang, defeating Jing Jie, the joint efforts of Tian Du and Jin Zhang, and so on. Plus a trip to the cold pool. These are all known to the disciples in the sect. Among the Qi Refining disciples, except for the five of them, no one else can accomplish these things. In other words, no matter how good and capable the disciples of the sect are, it is almost impossible to accomplish these things.
Qian Chao and the other five people didn't know much about Jing Lu. They only knew that he was somewhat reckless and impulsive, and they didn't know much about his methods. But Zong Cheng should know Jing Lu very well. She will definitely consider Jing Lu's strength when planning this matter. It is almost impossible for him to kill the five Qian Chao people, even with helpers. After all, Qian Chao and the five people have been fighting against many before, and each time they face many powerful enemies. Therefore, even if Jing Lu has helpers, it is possible for Qian Chao and the five people to escape, and the possibility of being killed is high. too small.
Moreover, from Qian Chao's point of view, Zong Cheng did not want Jing Lu to kill the five of her people. What she wanted was for Jing Lu to die and then the news to be spread back to the Five Spirits Sect.
Qian Chao first deduced in his mind what would happen in the end when talking to Chao Zhuye, and this involved the overt and covert fighting among the five clans in the sect.
The five clans of Zong, Jing, Huan, Feng, Zhang, and Wuling are also equivalent to the five big families in Wuling Sect. They have been secretly fighting among themselves, and the strength ranking of these five clans can also be based on the previous order. , the Zong family is the strongest, followed by the Jing family, the Huan family is in third place, followed by the Feng family, and the Zhang family is temporarily at the bottom. For the Zong family, the Jing family is the biggest threat to them. Although the Jing family was suppressed after the Jing Jie incident and suffered a lot of losses, their strength still existed, so they were always feared by the Zong family.
In fact, the Jing family has already begun to decline before it reaches its peak. Although there are many alchemy monks in the Jing family and are powerful in the sect, the biggest weakness of the Jing family is that there are no successors.
Although it cannot be said that the younger members of the Jing family, including those who have already established the foundation, are as evil-doing as Jing Jie, most of them are mediocre and uneducated, and Jing Jie is the best among them. It is for this reason that Jing Lu, who has a reckless and impulsive temperament and has no scheming but is willing to endure hardship and work hard in practice, has become a leader among the Jing family's children. In fact, in Qian Chao's view, among all the qi-refining disciples of the five clans in the sect, the most outstanding one should be Feng You, who has always been a promiscuous person. Of course, it is precisely because Feng You has always been lecherous, drunken, and careless. It didn't attract people's attention.
In other words, if Jing Jie dies, although the Jing family cannot be said to have no successor, it will eventually decline in the future due to the mediocrity and incompetence of the descendants behind it.
At the same time, if the people who killed Jinglu were Qian Chao and the five people, no matter why Jing Lu was involved in dealing with the five Qian Chao people, the people of the Jing family would definitely hate the five Qian Chao people. Don’t forget , Jing Jie's previous fate was due to these five people, and they might even ignore the previous agreement with the council, either secretly or in public, and they would do irreversible things driven by hatred. If they really do this, not to mention the revenge of Tang Bonian, Fairy Guhuo, Kang Fu and others against the Jing family, the sect's council will not let the Jing family go. They will be further suppressed and weakened, and they will never recover. .
But what really scares Qian Chao is not this, but that once Zong Cheng's plan succeeds and her people kill Jing Lu in the Broken Heart Valley, Qian Chao and the five of them will no longer be safe. In great danger. There may be some sensible people in the Jing family who will suppress this matter and prevent their own people from messing around. But at this time, as long as something happens to Qian Chao and the five people, or they disappear or die unexpectedly, the blame will definitely fall on the Jing family. Because only they have the biggest motives and suspicions! ,
In fact, at this time, in order to weaken the Jing family, the other four of the five families, except the Jing family, may take action against Qian Chao and the other five!
They might even join together. In that case, Qian Chao and the five of them would have almost no chance of survival.
This is what Qian Chao is most worried and afraid of.
There has been a secret fight among the five clans, and the Jing clan is ranked high. Now there is such an opportunity to frame the Jing clan and weaken the Jing clan, why not seize it?
Among them, even the Feng family, where Feng You is a good friend of Qian Chao, will not let go of such an opportunity!
And if something like this really happens, the Zong family will definitely benefit the most. Without the threat of the Jing family, their status will be more stable.
This is all Zong Cheng's plan that Qian Chao guessed, and it is also what Qian Chao is trying his best to prevent.
Qian Chao also hesitated when he was planning to dig a big hole for Shangguan Hong in the future and let her kill people to offend those forces in the spiritual world, because Qian Chao didn't know who Zong Cheng's people were. In the same way, Shangguan Hong She also doesn't know that she only kills people randomly. It's possible that the person she killed was the person Zong Cheng sent to attack Jing Lu. If that is the case, then Zong Cheng's plan may not succeed for a while, but later She will definitely have more conspiracies and calculations. Moreover, Qian Chao's promise to Chao Zhu was not completed. After all, Chao Zhu's original intention was to make Jing Lu give up on Zong Cheng through this incident, so that she could win back her future husband's interest.
But later Qian Chao wanted to understand something. First of all, there is not necessarily only one person working for Zong Cheng, but it may be multiple people. Secondly, since those people were ordered by Zong Cheng to do this secret thing, what happened to them when they encountered it? They will definitely be more careful when they get to Shangguan Hong. They are not working for Zong Cheng or Zhang Yi. There is no need to fight Shangguan Hong to the end. They will definitely be more careful than the rest before finishing their own affairs. Be careful and be more cunning, otherwise Zongcheng would not leave the matter to them.
It is even possible that as Shangguan Hong frequently attacks Zhang Yi and his group, the more people die, the more likely those who remain are serving Zong Cheng. In other words, Qian Chao’s promise to Chao Zhu remains the same. It can go on and on.
After understanding this, Qian Chao felt relieved.
…
Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were always a little uncomfortable with teleportation through formations. After a period of dizziness and weightlessness, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan finally stood firm while supporting each other.
It was dark and windless in front of them, and they seemed to be in a cave. After finally getting rid of the dizzy feeling, Tang Ping saw a glimmer of light, and then heard Qian Chao's words in the darkness. came:
"Come on, this is the place of power!"
