Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 78 The Secret of Wan Qifeng!

After Yinghuai accepted the hairpin, Cao Meng thought he could leave, but the other party spoke again:

"This hairpin alone isn't enough, unless you do me a favor!"

"Didn't you want to dig up his grave before? Now you help me dig up this grave and leave his corpse exposed here!"

This time, Yinghuai did not ask Cao Meng for money or valuables; she simply wanted Cao Meng to do some physical labor.

Cao Meng felt that this woman was going too far; it was one thing for her to ask for things, but she also made him do chores.

If it weren't for the fact that she possessed the innate sacred body of a widow, I would have turned against her long ago!
Cao Meng unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, digging up the grave of the woman's childhood sweetheart.

Cao Meng was about to leave after finishing his work when Ying Huai called him back again, saying:

"Cao Meng, aren't you curious about my true identity?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

Cao Meng was speechless. At this moment, he really wanted to ask this woman if she would ever stop.

You're really funny!

Yinghuai smiled, then muttered to herself:
"I am the senior sister of Shen Aoxue, the peak master of Wanqi Peak, but I am also a sinner who is nominally dead!"

"Uncle-Master Yinghuai, can you please not tell me? Keeping a secret is very difficult!"

Cao Meng was completely speechless. He had already said he didn't want to know, so why did this woman still have to say it?

Are you really that close to Yinghuai? We're practically strangers, why are you acting all familiar with her like this?
Woman, and given your current status, is it appropriate for you to say this?

Your identity is that of a criminal who faked his death and was thus exonerated!
Many sects have people like Yinghuai.

Such people usually commit grave crimes deserving of death, but they have connections within the sect and someone helps them plead for leniency.

In order to give an explanation to the outside world, the sect will nominally execute the other party and let them fake their death to escape!
People like Yinghuai, though alive, can remain hidden in the shadows and cannot reveal themselves freely.

Now that I know Yinghuai's secret, I have to keep it a secret for this woman. What a hassle!
At this moment, Cao Mengzhen really wanted to say something to Yinghuai:
Madam, you didn't want this either...

wrong!

Uncle Yinghuai, you don't want your secret to be revealed, do you?

Sometime later, Yinghuai had set up a chessboard in front of the grave and then gestured for Cao Meng to play chess there.

"Uncle-Master Yinghuai, my chess skills aren't very good, please let me win!"

After Cao Meng made his prior statement, he began to play chess with Ying Huai in front of the grave!
In less than half an hour, Yinghuai's white pieces were routed by Cao Meng's black pieces, and all their positions were lost!

"You've won this game!"

After admitting defeat, Yinghuai gave Cao Meng a resentful look:
"I can grant you one reasonable request!"

Now Yinghuai thinks Cao Meng is a little fraud. With his flawless attack, how can he be considered bad at chess?

Having played chess for hundreds of years, he was considered a top player in the Eastern Region of Daozhou in terms of skill alone.

Cao Meng, however, only took half an hour to break his own momentum and cut off his own life force on the chessboard.

If this is called being bad at chess, isn't that just fooling people?

What infuriated Yinghuai the most was that she actually believed the little liar was not good at chess and even gave him a handicap at the beginning.

If I hadn't let this little liar win in the first place, I probably could have tied with him!

That's right, it's a draw!

Cao Meng: Uncle Yinghuai, aren't you nominally a dead man?

Moreover, chess is about understanding, not something that can be compensated for by hard work!

Having cheated on his own, consuming the innate Gengjin Bodhi Fruit and elevating his comprehension to a terrifying level, isn't it perfectly reasonable for him to crush you, Yinghuai, in chess?
"I want spirit stones!"

When Cao Meng saw that Ying Huai was willing to grant him one request, he immediately asked for spirit stones. After all, he was really too poor, and spending real money on in-game purchases was just too expensive.

"!!!"

Yinghuai's face darkened. She had fulfilled one of the little swindler's requests, and all he wanted were spirit stones. He was being rather ungrateful!

Some displeasure lingered in his heart, and he spoke frankly:
“I am a dead man in name only; the sect has long since cut off my salary.”

"I'm barely surviving on Wanqi Peak now, relying entirely on the support of my junior sister, Shen Aoxue, the peak master. Do you think I have any extra spirit stones?"

Cao Meng didn't know whether the other party was truly poor or pretending to be poor. After all, he couldn't very well ask Ying Huai to hand over her storage ring for inspection, could he?

Just then, Yinghuai tossed him a communication jade talisman, and then disappeared without a trace, running away to renege on her debt!
……

Cao Meng happened to meet Ying Ling'er on his way out of Wanqi Peak.

"Junior Brother Cao Meng, so you've been here!"

Upon seeing Cao Meng, Ying Ling'er quickly stopped him.

After all, she still had something to discuss with Cao Meng, and she couldn't let him get away again.

"Senior Sister Ying Ling'er, I have a question for you. Does Uncle Shen have a senior sister named Ying Huai?"

Cao Meng had some doubts about Ying Huai's identity, which is why he wanted to ask Ying Ling'er, the chief disciple of Wanqi Peak.

If the identity of the other party is fabricated, then the other party's identity can only be her!
Upon hearing the name Ying Huai, Ying Ling'er's face turned extremely ugly, and she frowned and said displeasedly:
"According to Wan Qifeng's records, Yinghuai was an undercover agent sent by Tianyuan Valley several hundred years ago, and she has been executed by the sect."

Although this undercover agent is dead, she has caused me, Wan Qifeng, a lot of trouble.

"This has caused all ten generations of disciples of Wanqi Peak to lose their eligibility to compete for the position of sect leader!"

Among these ten generations of disciples, the current peak master of Wanqi Peak, Shen Aoxue, is the first generation, while Ying Ling'er is the second generation.

In other words, even if Ying Ling'er becomes the peak master of Wanqi Peak one day, she will not be qualified to compete for the position of sect master.

Moreover, not only her, but also her disciples and grand-disciples are not qualified. Only after ten generations will Wan Qifeng be qualified to compete for the position of sect leader of the Hehuan Sect again.

"Grandmaster shouldn't have so easily executed that traitor. He should have extracted her soul and refined it, torturing her for eternity!"

Ying Ling'er was furious whenever she thought about Wan Qifeng's situation.

If Yu Huai were in front of her, she would definitely chop him into mincemeat.

Upon hearing that such a person truly existed, Cao Meng no longer doubted Yinghuai's identity.

He estimated that the fact that the tenth-generation disciples of Wanqi Peak did not compete for the position of sect leader of Hehuan Sect was probably the price that the previous Wanqi Peak leader paid to protect Ying Huai's life.

It is probably precisely because of this that the other seven main peaks allowed Yinghuai to fake her death and escape, thus allowing her to hide on Wanqi Peak and eke out a living.

After all, having one less competitor among ten generations is a huge win for the other seven main peaks.

"Senior Sister Ying, although Martial Aunt Yinghuai has made a mistake, she is still your senior uncle. You'd better be careful what you say!"

Because Cao Meng knew that Ying Huai was still alive and hiding on Wanqi Peak, he reminded Ying Ling'er of something.

Otherwise, who knows, this woman might get dealt with by her nominally dead senior brother one day.

"Junior Brother Cao Meng, could you suggest to the Sect Master that we allow the creation of a custom shape for the Supreme Yang Pearl?"

The fact that Consort Duanmu refined the Supreme Yang Pearl using the Gathering Yang Array has already become widely known.

Since Consort Duanmu had never denied it, the Hehuan Sect had already taken the matter seriously.

Ying Ling'er is also a loyal user of the Zhiyang Pearl, and she has some valuable suggestions about it. That's why she wanted to give feedback to Duanmu Fei indirectly through Cao Meng.

However, Ying Ling'er was unaware that Cao Meng, who stood before her, was the true creator of the Supreme Yang Pearl.
