No wonder he always felt that many things were wrong.

Shao Yang had previously straightforwardly admitted that he was the Black-Cloaked Divine Messenger, but later clues misled him into thinking that Su Xianya was the one.

It turned out to be a trap set by others, and he was fooled.

At this moment, Zhao Kangping finally understood that he was not suitable for a battle of wits.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, my CPU burned out and my brain was overloaded. Then I realized that I was a fool.

But now he has figured out a lot of things.

Why did Shao Yang often stay in seclusion and seldom interact with others? It was to avoid arousing suspicion from others.

Why did this Taoist couple's relationship, once so good, suddenly deteriorate over the years? Su Xianya often used this excuse to complain to other halls. It turned out to be a convenient way to gather intelligence. They even assassinated Xun Qianran after she let her guard down.

However, the person behind Su Xianya probably didn't know that Xun Qianran was actually practicing the magical power of the Wood Spirit clone.

Su Xianya had only killed a clone, but even that was a heavy loss for Xun Qianran. This was because creating such a clone had consumed a great deal of her essence and blood, a large amount of natural treasures, and more than 30% of her cultivation.

When Dongfang Jingrou led her men to Xun Qianran's residence, the place was in shambles, with not even a scrap of the clone's body left. She only saw two bodies: Xun Qianran's twin disciples.

After Xun Qianran came out, she was not sad to see the bodies of her disciples. She just found a piece of land to bury their bodies.

Dongfang Jingrou was shocked at the time. There wasn't even a funeral or anything. He was buried so hastily?

But Xun Qianran told her heartlessly that the two children were actually two magical fruits from a twin-petaled magical medicine plant she discovered in her early years.

Plant them in the soil, water them every day, apply fertilizer, and when they bear fruit, they will come back.

Later, the disciples of Suzaku Hall discovered that Shao Yang and his men had left a killing formation on Yuqiong Palace. Once it was activated, everyone on Yuqiong Peak would die.

Now this formation has been lifted by Nangong Ruyun.

Mu Wanyi was worried that Shao Yang and his wife might have some conspiracy in the secret realm. She was worried that her junior brother could not handle it alone, so she sent Zhuque, also known as Dongfang Jingrou, to help.

After leaving the secret room, the two walked and talked.

"Manager Dongfang is such a busy man. He works non-stop without a break. He is worthy of being the confidant of the Holy Lord." Zhao Kangping flattered him a few times, but he obviously didn't know how to flatter.

She could hear the sense of alienation in the words, and her expression became even colder.

The woman said nonchalantly, "This is my job."

Zhao Kangping had experienced this woman's revengeful mentality, so he spoke very carefully in front of her, fearing that he would upset her again.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhao Kangping continued to talk about business.

Zhao Kangping: "Then who do you think the real black-robed divine envoy is?"

The woman shook her head. There were too few clues and she couldn't make a judgment.

"This person must know Shao Yang and Su Xianya very well, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use puppets to imitate their movements and expressions so vividly, and deceive the disciples in the temple for so many years. You have to know that Shao Yang's first three direct disciples were all accepted more than sixty years ago. If he couldn't hide it from them, how could he have prevented others from noticing the flaws?"

"And this person must have a deep hatred for both of them. I only have one candidate now, but you may not believe it when I tell you."

After listening to Dongfang Jingrou's story, he couldn't help but think of Shao Yang's words, "I am the one who was betrayed."

"Who is it?" Dongfang Jingrou asked doubtfully.

Zhao Kangping himself felt that it was a little unbelievable to say this name out loud. At first, he didn't think of this person, but if it was just a guess, why not be bolder.

After thinking it over, he said, "Fang Quan."

These two words struck Dongfang Jingrou's ears like a thunderbolt. She was stunned for a moment, then looked stunned.

I wasn't careful and almost fell down.

Just by looking at her expression, you can tell that she definitely doesn't believe it.

"Isn't Fang Quan dead?"

"The person everyone thought was alive was actually dead for over sixty years. Why can't the person everyone thought was dead be alive?"

He wasn't just making random guesses without any basis.

When Fang Quan was going through the Nascent Soul Tribulation, no one saw her body, so they said she was dead, died in the thunder tribulation.

Rumor has it that she was struck by a thunderbolt, leaving no trace of her body. Unfortunately, the closest witness was standing very far away. Later, someone went to the spot where Fang Quan had survived the catastrophe, but could not find her body.

But there is no body, so how can we say she is dead?

"It is true that only Fang Quan has such a deep hatred for the two of them, and he has sufficient understanding of them." Dongfang Jingrou suddenly understood, and the things that she could not understand before could be explained in an instant.

If Fang Quan was still alive, and hatred led her astray, she would have done so much, and it should not be just revenge against Shao Yang and Su Xianya.

Perhaps the object of her hatred has expanded to the entire Ziyang Holy Land.

This sent chills down the spines of both of them.

Because her senior brother abandoned her, her best friend also betrayed her, and she might have even lost her child due to miscarriage because of them, but no one in Ziyang Holy Land stood up for her.

She must have suffered a lot of injustice at that time.

Just as she said through that "Su Xianya", "Because I hate the Zi Yang Holy Land."

His senior sister once told him that Fang Quan's personality was somewhat extreme.

Extreme people easily go to extremes.

If she is bewitched by something again, she might really turn to evil.

However, there is still a mystery that remains unsolved: who led her to fall into evil?

If his guess is true, then only Fang Quan can explain it to him.

After the two came out of the skull chamber, they took a lot of twists and turns and arrived at the bank of the underground river as expected.

"I think this winding underground river is very similar to the belly of some giant snake." Zhao Kangping said after observing the underground cave.

He was not making an association without any reason. He thought that the secret room where he was imprisoned was inside a huge snake skull, and this guess was very reasonable.

After being reminded by him, Dongfang Jingrou felt the same way.

But this also gave her goose bumps.

What a huge snake this must be. When it was alive, it might have been as big as a small mountain range.

In ancient times, there were indeed some ancient snake-like beasts that could grow to this size, such as the Bashe, Jiuying, Xiangliu, or the Viper. They were all ancient beasts that were not inferior to dragons.

Zhao Kangping recalled the words that had been erased from the biography, and combined it with the Yin Gathering and Corpse Raising Formation.

Could it be that the thing suppressed under the secret realm of the valley is this huge snake bone, and the corpse demon raised by the Yin Gathering and Corpse Raising Formation is also the remains of this giant snake?

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, and it was obvious that they had the same idea.

They all quickened their pace to look for that "Shao Yang".

It is very likely that this person will be responsible for activating this corpse-raising formation in the future. As long as we kill him, we can definitely prevent a crisis.

Finally, they found Shao Yang at the teleportation array.

At this time, "Shao Yang" was facing away from them, concentrating on modifying the teleportation array.

"You're here." Shao Yang said this calmly, with the composure of a villain facing a weakling protagonist.

These four simple words made both of them feel pressured.

Under the suppression of the secret realm's rules, the three of them should have been suppressed to the same level of the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

But Zhao Kangping didn't think that the two of them would definitely have the advantage.

The villain on the other side is a calm and intelligent one, not a cannon fodder who can only survive for one episode.

He was able to lurk in the Zi Yang Holy Land for so many years, and play two roles at the same time, playing this Taoist couple. It has to be said that the person behind this must be a ruthless character.

The most terrifying thing is that what they are facing now is just a puppet controlled by that person.

Zhao Kangping didn't dare to say anything stupid like "surrender, you are surrounded by us." If he was shown off by the other party again, it would be very embarrassing.

He simply said, "You are Fang Quan, right?"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, causing Shao Yang's expression to freeze.

Shao Yang narrowed his eyes, and when he spoke again, a woman's voice emanated from his mouth: "I haven't heard this name in ages. Now you've finally figured it out, right? It's a pity you can't tell anyone else this news."

A woman's voice actually came out of an old man's mouth, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

Somewhere far away, a figure wrapped in a black robe raised its head. It was truly astonishing that someone could call out this name she had almost forgotten.

But this way it won't be too boring.

Zhao Kangping remembered that the character of the Black-Clothed Divine Envoy did not actually appear in the original novel.

The Dark Nest organization only appears later in the story. However, the book mentions that there is a tradition of infighting within the organization. Perhaps according to the story development in the book, even if the black-clad envoy did not die at the hands of outsiders, he would die in the internal struggle of the organization later.

However, she is still a heavyweight boss now, and today a corner of her mystery has finally been revealed.

It’s a pity that they didn’t get to see Fang Quan’s true face.

Perhaps I could find someone who knew Fang Quan in the Holy Land and draw a portrait of this woman based on their description. However, after so many years, and having thrown herself into the arms of the evil god, who knew what she had become.

Putting these aside for now, at this moment they are about to start a battle with the puppets she controls, and Zhao Kangping's heart is like a surging wave.

Shao Yang snapped his fingers, and the light of the formation lit up in the passage.

"How dare you enter a formation master's formation at will?" Now that he was exposed, Fang Quan no longer used voice changing and directly used his own voice to communicate with them.

She was good at many things and had a good command of formations. She was waiting for them here, but she hadn't made any preparations.

This formation is still the Hemolytic Soul Refining Formation, but it is a faster-acting version that she has improved.

Unlike the cave where Zhao Kangping was trapped before, the effect there was slow, but the hemolytic soul refining formation here was effective immediately.

The moment the formation was activated, Zhao Kangping and the other two felt an inexplicable pressure, and their spiritual energy was actually draining away at a steady rate. Even if they stood still and did not use any spiritual energy, their spiritual energy would be exhausted within a cup of tea.

But if you really want to let go and fight the opponent, it is impossible not to use any spiritual power.

However, "Shao Yang" is just a puppet, not a flesh and blood body, and has no soul. Therefore, it is not affected by this formation.

click!

"Shao Yang" retracted his right palm into his sleeve, and after a transformation, a thing similar to Mega Man's hand cannon stretched out from it.

The blue light gathered in the hand cannon, and it was obvious that it was accumulating energy. Let's fire it at them.

Seeing this, Dongfang Jingrou flashed and jumped back and forth on the cave wall. She flipped the long sword in her hand and leaped forward to meet the enemy.

This battle must be decided quickly. If it drags on for too long, they will be defeated, even if there are only two of them.

Zhao Kangping used the thunder energy stored in his body to release thunder magic, cooperating with Dongfang Jingrou's attack.

A beam of lightning like a silver snake cut through the air, twisting in the air and making crackling sounds.

When the manic Razer was about to hit "Shao Yang", it raised its left hand and a blue translucent shield appeared in front of it.

The lightning didn't even create a ripple when it struck the shield; it was actually absorbed by the shield visibly.

This was not what surprised Zhao Kangping the most. What surprised him even more was that the light from the hand cannon in his right hand, which was slowly accumulating energy, suddenly became brighter.

It probably completed the energy storage in an instant, and then fired at the attacking Dongfang Jingrou.

boom!

The light blue light cannon roared out, tearing through the air and roaring like an angry dragon.

Even the air was distorted by the heat of the light cannon.

Dongfang Jingrou, who was still in the air, only had time to make a turn and had no time to completely avoid the attack.

The blazing light cannon brushed past her knife-holding right arm, tearing her shoulder apart and sending blood splattering and evaporating instantly.

"Bang!"

Dongfang Jingrou's knife also flew out and fell to the ground.

She also fell out, her whole body hit the rock wall and fell heavily to the ground.

However, this light cannon, which was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, could not cause any damage when it hit the rock wall, as if it was completely absorbed by the formation.

Wow, he used the lightning energy that Zhao Kangping had just released to counterattack Dongfang Jingrou, and recharged the formation at the same time. He was really killing someone with a borrowed knife and offering a gift to Buddha at the same time.

Mr. Zhao originally wanted to take a break and let General Dongfang take the lead, but he didn't expect her to rush in and then fall down in seconds.

This was too fast, Zhao Kangping was stunned for a moment.

The scene was very embarrassing.

"Butler Dongfang, are you okay?"
