"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
After awkwardly interrupting the conversation, Li Gang changed the topic without being clever.
"Before today, I always thought that you, senior brother, were the type of character who would tell the truth. I didn't expect that you would also lie to others!"
"You clearly promised Ling Xiaozi to go to Jiangnan, but instead you ended up in Tanzhou instead."
Glancing at Li Gang again, Zi Yang found that his junior brother seemed to really not know how to speak.
No wonder he offended so many people in the officialdom and even had to follow him back to Mount Zhongnan to guard the Taoist temple.
"I didn't call it a lie, because I only said that I would live up to his trust, but I never promised him to go to Jiangnan in person."
Ziyang admitted that he was sophistry.
But if the object of sophistry is Ling Xiaozi, Ziyang really has no psychological burden at all.
"If this is not a lie, then there is no such thing as a lie in the world."
Li Gang was noncommittal about Ziyang's statement, because in fact, he had no intention of going to Jiangnan from the beginning.
"Obviously the center of this crisis is in Tanzhou, but that guy Ling Xiaozi is trying to trick us into going to Jiangnan. Does he look down on us?"
Li Gang admitted that Jiangnan was very important to the imperial court, but he was also a former member of the Qintian Prison and had a considerable understanding of the internal organization and members of the Qintian Prison.
It is precisely because of the importance of the Jiangnan area that there is a ruthless man who is infinitely close to the Yang God sitting there all year round.
Ling Xiaozi asked himself and Ziyang to go to Jiangnan, which would not have any substantive effect on changing the overall situation.
"He just wants to protect us..."
Having also understood Ling Xiaozi's thoughts, Ziyang sighed softly.
"Tanzhou is the center of this crisis, and Chang'an is not a safe place either..."
"Only the Jiangnan area, although its geographical location is very important, has the 'Hundred Killers' who are both good and evil. The monsters there can't cause any trouble at all."
Under normal circumstances, the "Slaughter of Hundreds of People" would not take action.
However, this time is an exception. Even if it is to ensure that his peaceful life is disturbed, the demon hunter who once slaughtered a hundred practitioners at once will definitely do his best to ensure the peace of the Jiangnan area.
"Isn't he just looking down on us and thinking we will be in the way?"
Ziyang could understand Li Gang's anger, but he also understood the correctness of Ling Xiaozi's approach.
"To be honest, if I hadn't accidentally caught the tail of the 'Eight Celestials' this time, I wouldn't have planned to come to Tanzhou so rashly."
Hearing what Ziyang said, Li Gang immediately became energetic.
"Indeed, the legendary organization 'Eight Celestials' finally showed up this time."
Although Pei Wende has many causal entanglements with the eight heavenly beings, he has also had contact with members of the eight heavenly beings several times.
But in fact, in Qintian Prison, and even in the entire spiritual world of China, the eight heavenly beings exist like legends, and only sporadic records and deeds show that they really exist.
If it weren't for the evidence from the "Qin Tian Document", I'm afraid even Li Gang, who has been traveling all year round, wouldn't have thought that such an organization still existed in the world.
The leader of the heretical sects in the world, the orthodox sect among thousands of side sects...
Just hearing the name will tell you how terrifying this organization is.
Not to mention, both Li Gang and Zi Yang knew in their hearts that the battle that took place in Chang'an was actually promoted by the Eight Celestials behind the scenes.
"The eight true gods, the four true spirits, the great demon Huangchao..."
"Any one of them individually would be an extraordinary being, not to mention that they are all members of the Eight Heavenly Celestials."
Only today did Ziyang finally understand why his master Zhao Guizhen was so cautious back then.
Whoever knew that the powerful enemy they were facing had such a profound background would think twice about every step they took next.
"I hope we caught a big fish this time, otherwise we would be so sorry for our hard work along the way."
Li Gang's tone was full of eagerness to try.
As a strongman who has inherited the Twelve Laws of Tiangang and is known as the "Tiangang Sword Master" by the outside world, his bravery and fearlessness have always been his most prominent label.
Therefore, even if he faced the unfathomable Eight Heavenly Celestials this time, Li Gang had no intention of retreating. Instead, he looked forward to catching the real big fish hiding behind the scenes through this clue.
"Don't take it too lightly."
On the other hand, Ziyang at this moment became more cautious as he got closer to success.
"We followed him all the way, and we saw how cautious that guy was."
"Never stay alone in a place with few people. If there is any trouble, I will leave immediately."
"If we didn't want to play a long game to catch the big fish and didn't do anything extraordinary, I'm afraid she would have discovered our existence long ago."
Hearing what Ziyang said, Li Gang also showed a rare expression of distress.
Forget the hardships along the way, Li Gang is still a practitioner who has been outside for so many years, so he can still bear the hardship.
But the crux of the problem is that in order to prevent the other party from discovering the two of them, Li Gang dressed up in disguise along the way and didn't even carry the sword box that he never left behind.
"Actually... I feel like she has discovered us a long time ago."
As soon as these words came out, Ziyang blinked his eyes immediately, and then asked in a low voice in confusion.
"How is it possible? It should be impossible for anyone to see the flaws in our disguises along the way, right?"
Zi Yang was telling the truth. In addition to the most basic disguises, the two of them also deliberately used anti-inflammatory methods to reduce their presence.
In the eyes of others, these two little Taoist priests were as inconspicuous as the stones on the roadside.
"Intuition! My intuition tells me that she must have discovered something abnormal."
Li Gang is a Taoist practitioner who specializes in swordsmanship. He is entangled in swordsmanship and his intuition is second only to those divination Taoist priests who have practiced the art of innate Bagua.
Ziyang obviously knew this very well, and his expression changed slightly at that moment.
"When did you start feeling this way?"
With the idea of believing their existence rather than their non-existence, Ziyang, who knew the danger of the Eight Heavenly Celestials, had already had the idea of retreating.
However, as soon as he had this idea, he found that the noisy people nearby suddenly calmed down.
"Just now..."
It was only then that Li Gang replied in a low voice with a wry smile.
"We were indeed discovered, and she led us here on purpose."
As if in response to Li Gang's words, the surrounding environment suddenly distorted and changed, and an invisible power immediately replaced the previous noisy and lively atmosphere in the process.
