She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1228: Each Conspiring

Now that she knew that most of the demons in this world were related to the underground secret palace, Zhao Yu also wanted to rush there to investigate it personally. However, it now seemed that the land had been designated as Ji Sui's own. If she wanted to step into it, Ji Sui and others would definitely try to stop her.

While thinking about it, Zheng Qiuji told Zhao Yu about another strange thing. He talked about one of his disciples who gradually changed his temperament after taking a strange medicine and was no longer his true self. Normally, this should not have surprised him too much, but the Taoism of Zheng Qiuji's lineage emphasizes punishing anger and desires, and preserving one's original heart. If one cannot even control his own desires, it will be difficult for him to achieve the Tao.

With this precedent in mind, Zheng Qiuji secretly observed other disciples who took medicine and found that most of them were like this, with few exceptions. There were even people who died after taking the strange medicine. The sect then appeased the disciples by saying that the medicine was incompatible with the drug. As for where these people ended up, others had no idea.

  After thinking it over, he also felt that this miraculous medicine should not be used too often, so he reported everything he had observed to Ji Sui, thinking that it was the master's negligence that caused this. However, since Ji Sui knew about this, not only did he not deal with it, but he also targeted him many times, secretly regarding Zheng Qiuji as a thorn in his side. If he had not been cautious, he would have been killed by the other party long ago!

Zheng Qiuji knew this very well. He knew that Ji Sui hated him because he had gained insight into things he shouldn't have known.

There are five externalization cultivators in Wenwang Mountain. Ji Yang and Duan Renxiu both follow the lead of the sect leader Ji Sui. The remaining Wang Que is used to protecting his own life. Even if he realizes something is wrong, he will certainly not take action for himself. In order to protect himself, Zheng Qiuji can only join Shouzhen, whose life is hanging by a thread, and make a desperate attempt.

Zhao Yu nodded secretly, thinking that this made sense. If it didn't endanger their own lives, how could ordinary people dare to betray the mountain sect and go against Wenwang Mountain, which was ruled by several externalized monks.

She raised her head slightly and asked Zheng Qiuji, "Can you lend me the miraculous medicine you mentioned?"

Zheng Qiuji was slightly embarrassed, shook his head and replied: "I can't show this to you, fellow Taoist. Ji Sui has sent people to take good care of all the rare medicines in our sect, and I am deeply afraid of this person, so I can't touch any of the rare medicines..."

Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, and said rather embarrassedly: "When my disciple took the medicine, he was impatient and irritable and a few drops of it splashed down, so he wiped it with the brocade handkerchief, leaving some traces. At that time, I became suspicious, so I was more careful and left this thing. If you don't mind, I hope you can take a look."

  There was no need for a detailed observation. As soon as Zhao Yu took this thing out, his eyes focused and his mind was settled!

Ever since she understood the sword's heart, these evil things have been invisible to her. Although the handkerchief in Zheng Qiuji's hand was only stained with a little bit of the strange medicine, it was not difficult for Zhao Yu to see through the evil in it. There was almost no difference between these strange medicines and the magic seeds. The only difference was that a few kinds of things were added during the refining process. Just by looking at this thing, Zhao Yu was sure that Ji Sui had a big plan and was intending to use the magic seeds.

However, he did not know that this thing could wreak havoc in the upper realm for a while, and it was impossible for an externalized cultivator to control it. Just from what Zhao Yu saw when he came here, he found that the traces of the demon species were not only in Wenwang Mountain. Fortunately, it had not spread for long and had not yet taken root completely.

This only refers to the outer sect disciples. As for those people who have been taking medicine for a long time as mentioned by Zheng Qiuji, Zhao Yu did not hold much hope for them.

She knew that in order to enter the secret palace, she had to get rid of Ji Sui first. With this demon in mind, the Five Elements Jade Dew was a secondary matter. She then asked Zheng and Zhang about the underground secret palace, and learned that the secret palace was actually divided into two layers, the Five Elements Jade Dew was all in the outer layer, and the inner layer of the secret palace had almost never been opened since its existence. It was not until the ban was loosened more than three hundred years ago that outsiders discovered that there was another layer in the underground secret palace.

Zheng Qiuji's eyes moved slightly, and he said at the right time: "It seems that the fight between Fuwei Palace and Zhu Xuan started from this." Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and cast a curious look. Seeing this, Zhang Zhi, who was sitting beside him, continued: "I'm afraid that what Zheng Daoyou knows about this matter may not be as much as I know."

Then he turned his eyes to look at Zhao Yu and explained, "I remember when I seized the Jade Dew, a gap suddenly opened in the inner barrier of the Secret Palace, and a treasure with a bright light flew out, and it happened to fall beside Liang Yanfang and Wu Tanqing. The latter was closer, so he took the treasure first. He didn't even have time to take the Jade Dew and escaped from the Secret Palace.

"Liang Yanfang was unwilling to accept this, and the feud between him and Wu Tanqing was thus forged. It is unclear how the feud ended."

Zhao Yu's heart was moved, and he continued, "Is it the Baichuan Jade Purifying Bottle?"

Zheng and Zhang both nodded and sighed, "Only one magic weapon was revealed, but it was such a precious thing. You can imagine how many rare treasures are waiting for people to take them. After this incident, all the sects in Beiyun were worried and were eyeing the inner layer of the secret palace. Unfortunately, the restrictions were only loosened and have never been fully opened. This is what stopped us from taking action."

This would be consistent with Fuwei Palace's reluctance to divert its attention to go outside Beiyunzhou.

There are Five Elements Jade Dew outside and all kinds of rare treasures inside. If Ji Sui wants to monopolize the secret palace, he should be prepared to confront the various factions in Beiyun. And from what is happening now, as long as Shouzhen is eliminated, there will be no rival for Wenwang Mountain in Beiyun Continent. This is what Zheng Qiuji fears the most.

Zhao Yu did not agree to this at first, but skipped it and asked Zheng and Zhang about their plans: "Two of your fellow Taoists have died at the hands of Ji Yang. And according to fellow Taoist Zheng, if we want to kill Ji Sui, we must first deal with Ji Yang. So, how can we ensure that we can get rid of this person?"

Zheng Qiuji was not afraid of her asking, but was afraid that she would not ask anything. After hearing this, he felt relieved. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Ji Sui has already made up his mind. When he seizes Yu Lu in four years, he will tear up the contracts with the Beiyun sects and kill all those who refuse to obey him.

"By then, Wang Que and Duan Renxiu, whom I sent, will only delay Liang Yanfang and the others, while Ji Yang will be more likely to come towards Master Zhang. At this time, we need someone who is proficient in escaping techniques to help Master Zhang lead Ji Yang to the territory I have arranged in advance. There is no need to elaborate on the rest."

Zhang Zhi had practiced the art of strengthening his foundation and nourishing his vital energy for a long time, so he was easily put in a passive position when fighting with others. That was why he saw that Zhao Yu, as a sword practitioner, could help Zhang Zhi lure the enemy into a trap, so he specially invited her to come and discuss the matter.
