Chapter 412 The Truth
There was a loud clapping sound coming from the top of the wall, which startled Yang and caused the flames around him to disappear immediately.
Zhao Yushu sat on the wall: "This guy is even more outrageous than the legendary King of Tricks Zhao Yushu, awesome."
Yang He's face turned red. When did this bastard start looking at it?
"Where's the other one?"
Yang He exerted his strength and knocked Protector Zhou unconscious. The wounds on his body had been burned and scabbed when they were opened just now.
"He's lying in front. Old Jiang and Old Zhu are in charge of watching him. What material is your clothes made of? They don't seem to be fireproof. I've helped you so much, so give me one."
Yang He didn't bother to pay attention to him and carried Protector Zhou to the front hall.
"Please ask Elder Jiang to invite Protector Wang and Mother-in-law."
Old Jiang looked at the pair of goddess sisters lying on the ground with a complicated expression, nodded, took the token handed over by Yang He and walked out.
"Who is the mother-in-law?"
"I teach you how to guard the interior of the Red Lotus Holy Temple."
"How many of you in the Red Lotus Sect have internal scenes?"
Yang He glared at him: "Not as many as your academy."
Zhao Yushu said "oh", there are five interior scenes in the academy, which means there are at most four people in the Red Lotus Sect. From this point of view, the academy is indeed terrifyingly powerful.
However, the underworld seems to have quite a few internal scenes. Apart from the academy, have they also won over the internal scenes of all other forces in the world?
Judging from the Zhou sisters and the unknown general who was killed by himself in Xiangzhou, the underworld is not just for the high-end, there are probably quite a few mid- and low-end people mixed in as well.
Not long after, the tall and gloomy-looking Protector Wang and an extremely short old woman walked in.
"Xiao Yanghe, you're making quite a noise."
The mother-in-law jumped with effort and sat on the tall chair, which reminded Zhao Yushu of a cartoonist called Ranma in his previous life.
"Don't blame me, mother-in-law. This involves the foundation of our religion, so I dare not not make a fuss."
"Call him up and ask him clearly. We should explain it clearly to everyone."
Yang He nodded and patted Protector Zhou on the forehead. Just as Protector Zhou was about to move, a powerful spiritual power came over from the mother-in-law and pressed her to the ground, making her unable to move.
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your help."
Zhao Yushu stepped forward and pulled out several silver needles from behind Lord Zhou's head. Yang He's eyes jumped. The fact that the needles were inserted from the back of the head meant that Lord Zhou had completely lost the ability to resist at that time, or had no chance to dodge at all.
A seventh-level cultivator was beaten by a sixth-level cultivator and didn't even have the ability to escape. The people in the academy are truly terrifying.
"You kneel down too." The mother-in-law said lightly. Mrs. Zhu's knees softened and she knelt down beside her. Lord Zhu was startled and knelt down as well.
"Who says it first?"
The mother-in-law tapped the cane that was taller than her and spoke.
"Ma'am, don't hide anything, tell me everything."
Zhu Xian did not hesitate. He had been an official for many years and knew that the first person to confess would often receive the lightest punishment.
Mrs. Zhu was trembling a little. Zhu Xian held her hand and comforted her with a few words.
"Mr. Zhou found me a month ago. We were close to each other, and I didn't feel anything that day. She said she wanted to take me to meet someone, so I went."
"Who are you meeting?" Seeing that her mother-in-law had no intention of asking questions, Yang He knew that she was only responsible for sitting in charge and witnessing, and would not interfere with the interrogation.
"An ordinary person, very young, about the same age as Huo'er. She asked me to take a good look to see if she was a cultivator."
"and then?"
"Then, she gave that person a pill, and then, that person, had the strength of a new heaven!"
The whole place was shocked.
"impossible."
The mother-in-law spoke calmly.
"Indeed, I have never heard of anyone being able to open their mind through external forces. Cultivators are born with this power, and this is an eternal truth."
Protector Wang, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.
If external forces could produce monks in large numbers, the whole world would be filled with monks.
"I, I don't believe it either, but, but it really happened in front of me. Huo'er is eighteen years old and still hasn't gotten wise. I, as a mother, am so anxious!"
"Ma'am, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was about to cry again, Lord Zhu hurriedly stopped her.
"possible."
A voice sounded, and everyone looked at Zhao Yushu who was standing aside.
"Mr. Six?"
Yang He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"It is indeed possible. I have seen it with my own eyes." Zhao Yushu repeated.
Even the mother-in-law was a little surprised: "The academy has actually uncovered the secrets of heaven and earth?"
Zhao Yushu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, I didn't say it clearly enough. I was in Jiufeng Mountain before, and I saw the Jiufeng Mountain God use a kind of pollen to inspire a group of ordinary hunters to become people with the strength of the Second Heaven."
Everyone looked at each other, and there was some hope in Mrs. Zhu's eyes.
"and after?"
"Afterwards, about two or three days later, the pollen sucked all the blood out of these people and they all turned into mummies."
With a thud, Mrs. Zhu collapsed to the ground in despair.
"That makes sense. This secret method is not so rare. In fact, it appeared in the martial arts world decades ago. However, the method is difficult and it is not easy to refine. When ordinary people use it, they can only reach the third level at most. Moreover, without spiritual intelligence, it cannot play a decisive role at all. It was gradually abandoned. Unexpectedly, it appeared again today."
The mother-in-law sighed, as if recalling something bad, and then looked at the Zhou sisters: "Are you from the underworld?"
The Zhou sisters looked at each other, and finally Protector Zhou sighed, "Yes, when we were in Yunmengze, someone found us and promised us great favors. They helped us break through the threshold of the Seventh Heaven and let us join the Red Lotus Sect that had just started the uprising."
"I guess you guys won't reveal that person's identity either."
Zhou Hufa gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not that I won't tell you, it's that I really don't know. He seldom came to see us in the past few years, until a few days ago, when he sent us a letter, asking us to prepare. Mr. Liu will be heading south soon, and if he comes to Yuezhou, we must keep him."
Zhao Yushu calculated the date and it should be when he came out of Dongdu. The other party was not sure whether he had the ability to get to Yuezhou through all the ambushes along the way, but they had already started making arrangements in advance.
The other party was very familiar with me and knew when I left Dongdu.
The enemy has spies in the east.
"How long will you keep me?"
Zhao Yushu suddenly spoke.
Protector Zhou looked at him in surprise and said, "Leave it until the leader comes back."
Zhao Yushu felt his whole body hair stand on end. The leader was back again!
Zhao Yushu subconsciously glanced at the night sky outside the hall. The bright moon seemed to have turned into a pair of eyes, overlooking the entire Yuezhou City expressionlessly, or rather, looking at himself.
"Who killed the helmsman?"
"It was me," Lord Zhou said in a trembling voice. "I am usually responsible for making friends with the important people in the sect. The old leader likes to drink tea, and I usually go to bring him good tea. When I met Madam Zhu that day, I noticed that there was someone in the house. That night I went to the leader to verify it. He said it was Zhao Yushu. In desperation, I wanted to kill the leader and put the blame on Zhao Yushu."
The water came out.
"These two people have evil ambitions and are trying to instigate a fight between our sect and the academy, destroying the foundation of our sect. I hope Grandma will punish them."
Yang He stepped forward respectfully.
"You have the leader's token, you can make the decision yourself. I am tired."
The mother-in-law jumped off the chair and staggered away.
"Destroy the Snow Mountain Qi Sea, and when the leader comes back, you two have contributed a lot, so you can ask for the Holy Fire Punishment."
