Chapter 1069 The chess player

The long sword hit the side of the stick, and it suddenly felt weak and powerless, as if it had been hit by a wisp of wind, and it passed by lightly.

The stick at the height of his eyebrows swung out and was about to hit Meng Qi back. At this time, Jiang Hengchuan clapped his palms together, and the powerful palm force was added continuously, like a strong wind and huge waves, rushing towards Qiu Fei and the two disciples of the Life and Death Sect who rushed out from behind.

The palace was shaking as if there was an earthquake. Jiang Hengchuan's full-strength force was so powerful that it forced Qiu Fei and the disciples of the Life and Death Sect to return to defend.

"Stop! Aren't you worried about the other demon?"

At the same time, Meng Qi shouted loudly.

How could Qiu Fei not know about Old Zhongtou's incident when he appeared on North Street?

Qiu Fei stopped immediately, put on a defensive posture, and said in a deep voice:

"You want to join forces?"

The two disciples of the Life and Death Sect were still wearing pointed hats, one in black and white, their faces were like death, and they did not speak.

"The Eight-Armed Sky Dragon is only stronger than you, and he also had the help of the Treasure Soldiers and the Three Eagles of Yunling, but they all died at the hands of that devil. Now he has obtained the Treasure Soldiers, which makes him even more powerful. How confident are you?"

Jiang Hengchuan asked back sternly.

Qiu Fei turned his head and made eye contact with the two disciples of the Life and Death Sect. After discussing for a few words, he said:

"We can join forces, but after killing the demon and opening the inner palace, we will each rely on our own abilities. How do you think?"

He obviously felt that it was unfair to divide the items in the treasury equally on his side.

"no problem."

Jiang Hengchuan and Meng Qi had already made the decision.

Looking at Qiu Fei and the disciples of the Immortal Life Sect, Meng Qi felt vaguely strange. Their sneak attack just now was a bit "weak". With their strength and the magical powers of the Immortal Life Sect, they should have been able to complete it more perfectly and would not have made the two of them so calm. Could it be that they had the intention of cooperating? Was it just a "greeting" just now?
Moreover, at this point, where are their location living dead? Where is the Ningzhou hero? Are they really afraid of me and dare not use them again? Or are they the key to victory at the critical moment?
Meng Qi felt that he could control it with his "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Method", so he put the matter on the back of his mind for the time being.

At the same time, Meng Qi was secretly wondering whether Jiang Hengchuan had already had contact with the two people in front of him, and was also carefully guarding against him.

Both parties tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the soul's oath, as if once the inner palace was opened, there would be a fight between dragons and tigers.

Past this pavilion is the road leading to the inner palace, paved with bluestone and with pitch-black soil on both sides.

In the silence between the two sides, Jiang Hengchuan spoke up and reminded:
"From the deaths of Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon and others, we can see that the demon is good at sneak attacks. Everyone needs to be careful."

"Sneak attack..."

The white-robed disciple of the Life and Death Sect snorted coldly, as if he thought that no one could launch a sneak attack on him.

Meng Qi watched coldly, suspecting that the Ningzhou hero was not far away, and was even following him with the help of earth escape. With his spiritual perception of the exterior scene and his sense of heaven and earth, even if he became a living dead and was not as good as before, it would be very difficult for him to launch a sneak attack from a half-step exterior scene.

Is the purpose of cooperating with himself and others to paralyze the devil and lure him into taking action?

At the end of the bluestone is a river several meters wide, with a wooden bridge on it, close to the water surface. On the other side of the river, clouds condense to form a strange gate.

Meng Qi and Jiang Hengchuan were the first to step onto the wooden bridge, followed by Qiu Fei, Black Impermanence and White Impermanence.

Suddenly, the wooden bridge swayed, and Meng Qi almost lost his balance. A hand surrounded by black air stretched out from the river and grabbed the ankle of Bai Wuchang at the back!

Even if Kaiqiao has more strength to fight against Half-Step External Scene, once the opponent attacks him closely, seizes his vital points, and uses his true Qi to enter his body, all hope will be lost!
With a splash, Bai Wuchang was dragged directly into the water. Hei Wuchang kicked back with a whip kick, but missed.

Ripples spread out, Hei Wuchang clapped his hands, Qiu Fei poked down with a stick, water splashed, the color turned dark green, and there was a loud splashing sound.

But there was no more movement underwater, as if what had just happened was just a nightmare for everyone.

Meng Qi took a few steps forward, stepped onto the river bank, and looked back, "Is that the devil?"

"Yes." Jiang Hengchuan's eyes were solemn and his fists were clenched.

Qiu Fei and Hei Wuchang also quickly crossed the wooden bridge, looking rather grim. Jiang Hengchuan had just reminded them to be careful of sneak attacks, but they ended up getting caught!

When did Old Zhong's strength become so terrifying? Did his magic skills really progress so fast?
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and the four of them were silent for a short time.

After a few breaths, Jiang Hengchuan walked to the strange cloud gate and tried his Dongyang Seal fragment, but there was no reaction. He turned around and smiled bitterly, then walked towards Qiu Fei:

"It seems that the three fragments really need to come together."

"The devil is watching closely, I'm afraid he wants to take it all for himself."

Qiu Fei said in a deep voice.

Meng Qi said nothing, just stood by and watched with his sword in hand. Jiang Hengchuan agreed:
"That's true, but if he attacks again and we teach him a profound lesson, he will wake up and understand the importance of cooperation."

"Now he won't have a chance to launch a sneak attack."

Hei Wuchang said in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Hengchuan nodded:
"Without the Dongyang Seal fragment, no one can enter Beppu. As long as we solve the problem of the demon, there will be no other danger."

Suddenly, a scream was heard in the distance, which made people's hair stand on end. It was screamed by Bai Wuchang.

Hearing the voice, Hei Wuchang turned around with a fierce look in his eyes. Qiu Feiyi looked over there, feeling angry and anxious. How could he feel good about his companion's tragic death while he was powerless to do anything?

At this moment, Jiang Hengchuan moved. He clapped out his right hand, formed thousands of seals, and finally turned them into fists, and then into fingers, which hit Hei Wuchang's vest.

The vitality of Hei Wuchang suddenly disappeared, and he turned back to look at Jiang Hengchuan in disbelief. Why did he turn against him when the devil had not been eliminated?

Before Qiu Fei made his move, Jiang Hengchuan took a few steps back and smiled leisurely:
"Brother Qiu, we can really cooperate now. Otherwise, their location zombies will follow me and always be a thorn in my side."

"With you here, the three of us working together can at least defeat the demon with a 50-50 chance. We don't need them."

In an instant, the strength comparison between the two sides was reversed. Qiu Fei looked at the limp Black Impermanence and said in astonishment:
"you know?"

He saw that the cooperation between the two of them was superficial, and was shocked that Baili shouldn't know this... Shouldn't "Mad Blade" Su Meng use this kind of knowledge and restraint as the final means of reversal?

After the battle by the Jinshui River, as long as Qiu Fei was not blind, he would recognize that Mad Blade Su Meng was Su Ziyuan.

Meng Qi said nothing, just like a true bystander.

"When the Immortal Life and Death Sect sends out its core disciples, how could they not have things like outdoor zombies? The only thing to blame is that they themselves have too little experience in martial arts."

Jiang Hengchuan had a smile on his face, looking confident and calm.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Hengchuan looked like a young farmer with dark skin, ordinary features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a rustic look. Even when he was in a state of harmony between man and nature, as if he was a member of the world, enjoying himself, and being free and easy, he still looked like a farmer, except that he had become a hermit farmer who cultivated his own land and leisurely enjoyed the Nanshan Mountains.

But now, he had a smile on his face, and he talked eloquently, with endless confidence and composure. His whole face was radiant, as if he had become a different person, full of wisdom and confidence. How could he look like a farmer at all?
Jiang Hengchuan profoundly "elaborated" on the fact that a person's job is determined by his temperament, not his appearance.

"Well said." Meng Qi suddenly spoke, and patted the back of his right hand holding the knife with his left hand, as if applauding, but there seemed to be no smile on his face.

Jiang Hengchuan smiled and said to Qiu Fei, "Brother Qiu, you don't have to be afraid. Before the demon is eliminated, we still need your cooperation. Even if the demon gives up the plan to kill and chooses to cooperate and jointly open the inner palace, we will not hurt you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bargain for the demon to enjoy the fruits alone?"

"And if by chance we kill the demon, you will be fine, because Brother Su will not let you get hurt. The best situation is for the three of us to check each other. If it's just him and me, won't he be worried? After all, the Yuanshen oath cannot cover all situations, and there are always loopholes. We don't violate it only because the benefits are not enough."

He frankly said that his cooperation with Meng Qi was a temporary combination, and each of them had their own ideas, and he intended to use this to convince Qiu Fei.

Qiu Fei seemed a little moved when he heard this and looked at Meng Qi.

"I was just exaggerating the facts to convince him to join forces." Jiang Hengchuan transmitted the message into the secret passage.

At this time, Meng Qi smiled and spoke directly:
"But I think your last sentence is right, Wenquxingjun."

"Wenquxingjun?" Qiu Fei took a breath. He could see that there was something wrong with Jiang Hengchuan, but he never thought that he was Wenquxingjun! The Wenquxingjun who disturbed the entire Maoling situation!

Jiang Hengchuan's smile flickered slightly, but remained unchanged, and he remained confident and calm:
"When did you figure it out? I mean, you didn't just figure out that there was something wrong with me, you figured out that I was the God of Literature."

He did not deny anything and admitted it directly, with his hands hanging down and his aura restrained, as if he was chatting casually. However, Qiu Fei and Meng Qi knew that he might suddenly attack at any time.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that you would invite Mr. Wang to play chess and compare strategies with him, but you turned into a chess piece and were thrown onto the chessboard. It seemed like you were just an insignificant member. It didn't match the feeling of the person behind the scenes. It was really unexpected."

Meng Qi was holding a heavy "thunder blade", his black tights slightly wet by the drizzle, and he also answered with a smile, neither anxious nor impatient, neither surprised nor angry, just like a conversation with a friend.

"At that time, Young Master Wang told me that no matter what choices I made or what responses I took, I would not be able to escape the trap. This puzzled me, but I gradually began to think. How could someone who is one of the top ten talents on the Human Ranking be so impulsive? So reckless? He didn't even give me a chance to finish a sentence?"

Jiang Hengchuan smiled and nodded: "There are only two most important things about a trap, the victim and the victim. If the victim is the one who set the trap, then the victim will step into it no matter what. As long as the scene is arranged a little bit like it, you can take this opportunity to kill the victim, and then "regret" being too impulsive."

"If I hadn't gone to Tingfeng Cottage and returned to my own yard, I would have discovered that there was an extra body in the coffin, and then the victim would have come to my door." Meng Qi sighed, "And if you can't kill me on the spot, you can take advantage of the situation to make peace, join forces with me as the victim, and put me, an unexpected chess piece, on the chessboard."

Qiu Fei listened very attentively, and seemed to want to study other people's arrangements and conspiracies, so as to avoid being tricked in the future and treating his enemies as benefactors.

Jiang Hengchuan smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

He was extremely calm and confident, and did not feel any pressure at all because of facing Meng Qi and Qiu Fei.

"After the suicide of Chu Guan, the leader of the Dajiang Clan, I was sure that you were the mastermind behind the incident, but I didn't expect that you were Wenquxingjun." Meng Qi calmly talked about his change of mind. "At that time, you probably didn't expect that I could really 'inquire' about the content and find Chu Guan, right?"

Jiang Hengchuan slightly restrained his smile: "Indeed, I didn't expect you to make the craftsman remember Chu Guan, otherwise I would have killed him to silence him. Remember this lesson in the future. Only dead people will not reveal secrets. Later, I had to sacrifice Chu Guan and take the opportunity to mislead him."

"Did you take advantage of the opportunity when we went to look for Dai Qingshou to use secret telepathy to tell the subordinates stationed on the street?" Meng Qi asked with interest.

"Yes." Jiang Hengchuan's tone was still calm, "I originally wanted Chu Guan to escape, but when I was leaving, I changed my mind. I wanted to take this opportunity to mislead you and provoke Master Wang."

"After you come to your senses, you will definitely realize that calling for 'Wenquxingjun to help me get revenge' is too deliberate, like a frame-up. Normally, who would expose their own people like this? So Wenquxingjun disappeared from your hearts, and Master Wang was able to see through this trick at a glance, knowing that I was provoking him. He will be more interested in playing chess, and his attention will be diverted to this aspect, ignoring other things."

Meng Qi sighed, "Fortunately, I suddenly calmed down and cleared my mind. I figured out the trap of this thinking level. When you reminded me the next day, I was sure that there was something wrong with you. Then I played along with you to see what you really wanted to do. I absolutely don't believe that competing with Master Wang was your real purpose."

Of course, what he didn't say was that when he was in contact with Jiang Hengchuan, Shang Yi had already secretly tipped him off that Jiang Hengchuan had connections with the Myth Organization.

"So you've determined that there's something wrong with me so early on. I thought that after the subsequent events, our friendship had deepened and we had become more tacitly connected. I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You almost fooled me." Jiang Hengchuan sighed, seemingly praising him.

Of course, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills... Meng Qi silently complained: "After what happened with Brother Qiu and the Eight-Armed Dragon, I realized that Dongyang Villa is your real goal, but I still can't figure out how you can be sure of completing it? Why is a simple matter so complicated that it attracts Master Wang, Qing Yu and others?"

"Yeah, why?" Jiang Hengchuan asked sarcastically, seeming to be in a good mood.

Meng Qi raised his lips and spoke slowly, "It was not until Master Ren sighed in front of me that a friend had died and he was powerless to do anything about it that I suddenly woke up and raised my mind to the level of the entire chessboard. The Eight-Armed Sky Dragon and the Three Eagles of Yunling are probably closely related to Master Ren. If you act normally, you will most likely expose yourself and attract threats from powerful people outside. That's why you generously invited the top masters on the nearby human list, especially Young Master Wang. When they arrived, Master Ren, whose identity is mysterious, naturally became cautious and did not dare to make any rash moves."

"And you, taking advantage of this muddy water, did all kinds of meaningless things, pretending to compete with Master Wang in strategy, but actually diverting his attention and hiding the real purpose, and then killing Brother Qiu, killing the Eight-Armed Heavenly Dragon, seizing the two Dongyang Seal fragments, and taking away the things in the inner palace without anyone noticing."

Jiang Hengchuan gradually stopped smiling:

"Unfortunately, you realized it too late."

"The most important thing for a conspiracy to succeed is to hide its true purpose. Once this is done, the rest are just details. They don't need to be linked together or be sophisticated and ingenious."

This is Wenquxingjun’s experience with layout and conspiracy.

Meng Qi ignored Jiang Hengchuan's regret: "The trap you set at the beginning, in addition to taking the opportunity to kill me, or turning me into a chess piece on the chessboard afterwards, I am afraid you also have the intention of exposing yourself to attract the attention of Mr. Wang, and then mislead him to make him suspect that you are the subordinate of the owner of the building, and he is the real Wenquxingjun."

"And the key point is 'Aurora Electric Sword' Xiao Zhenhai. Otherwise, you would not have needed to send a hidden spy to participate in the trap. Are you afraid that you can't find your men after killing three ordinary people?"

"A trap contains several purposes, hiding and covering each other. It is worthy of being the God of Literature."

"And you led me to suspect Ren Louzhu, firstly to divert my attention, and secondly to set a mind-trap for Mr. Wang: you have already determined that there is a problem, but you threw dirty water on Ren Louzhu. At first glance, Ren Louzhu must have been wronged and framed by you, but if you think about it more deeply, isn't it a way for subordinates to clean up their name, a way for subordinates to clean up their name?"

If the "strange man from the world" Ren Pingsheng had not known that he had been recruited and deliberately revealed that he knew Qu Jiuniang, I would probably really suspect that he, Xiao Zhenhai and Jiang Hengchuan were in the same group, and would have been shaken again about their true purpose and would not have thought of keeping an eye on Xiao Zhenhai.
