The leader was noncommittal, put his hands behind his back and said, "Go on!"
"It must be true that Elder Xuanyang left Chaowu Ridge." Qining sighed: "It's just that his departure was not because of apostasy. On the contrary, the people in the Black Lotus Sect who are truly loyal to the leader are It was Elder Xuanyang. Those traitors in the leader's mouth could not tolerate Xuanyang staying in Chaowu Ridge. They even felt that Elder Xuanyang would ruin their affairs if he were alive. Therefore, Elder Xuanyang finally left Chaowu Ridge. What exactly did he do? Whether he escaped or was expelled, I’m not sure.”
The leader smiled strangely and said, "It seems you know a lot about the Holy Religion."
"In this way, we can roughly determine who they are in the leader's mouth." Qining said: "The people who stayed in Chaowu Ridge were naturally those who betrayed the leader, and those who left the Black Lotus Sect, even if they were not against The leader is loyal, but at least he did not participate in the betrayal of the leader."
"Oh?" The leader said with a smile, "Then what kind of rebels do you think there are in the Holy Religion?"
"Luo Wuying is naturally the first to bear the brunt." Qining said: "He is now being tortured by the leader to a point where life is worse than death. He was of course a pawn who rebelled against the leader back then. In addition to him, the poison envoy Shui Qianyi and the sex envoy Duan Qingchen are also among them."
"Are you saying that the four holy envoys under me are all rebelling against me?" The leader's eyes were deep.
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Medical envoy Li Xigong was not among them. I don't know why, but Li Xigong probably did not participate in that rebellion. The three holy envoys joined forces, but it was still not enough to pose a threat to the leader, so The real culprit is not these three people, but someone else."
The leader's eyes were like daggers: "Who is it?"
"Yin Wuji." Qi Ning said: "The leader came back this time and went on a killing spree, which made the entire Black Lotus sect panic. Many people fled secretly. This was all done intentionally by the leader. The purpose was to bring Chao Wuling to the enemy. What happened lets these people know that the leader is waiting for these people to come back."
The leader looked at Qi Ning and asked, "Do you know Yin Wuji?"
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "I don't know him, but... I have probably guessed who Yin Wuji is."
"Holy?" The leader laughed strangely: "Those young disciples cannot be called sacred."
"It was a junior who made a mistake." Qi Ning said: "As far as I know, after Elder Xuanyang defected, the Black Lotus Sect sent out the Taiyin Elder to pursue him. However, in the end, the Taiyin Elder not only failed to capture Xuanyang, but the Black Lotus Sect instead took over. When Elder Taiyin came to carry weapons with him, the Black Lotus Sect thought that Elder Taiyin had been killed by Xuanyang." The leader kept staring at himself and continued: "When I knew about this, I didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, , this matter is indeed a bit strange. The two elders of the Black Lotus Sect, Xuanyang and Taiyin are on an equal footing. Their martial arts should be on par with each other. Even if they face each other head-on, Taiyin may not be Xuanyang's opponent. In this case, why is the Black Lotus Sect? Will you send Elder Taiyin to chase Xuanyang? Logically speaking, you should send someone to find out Xuanyang's whereabouts, and then send out experts from the sect to chase him."
The leader said: "Perhaps Taiyin wants to perform meritorious deeds."
"Xuan Yang is rebelling, and the sect is at the moment of rebellion. At this time, stabilizing the sect is the most important thing. Xuanyang is gone, and Taiyin, as the only elder, should stay." Qining Said: "But he eagerly chased Xuanyang, and searched everywhere like a needle in a haystack. This is unreasonable." After a slight pause, he continued: "And not long after, Taiyin's personal weapon was It is even more strange to send it back. If Taiyin was really killed, just send the body back, why send the weapons? As far as I know, although the relationship between Taiyin and Xuanyang is not very close, it is not It was too bad, Xuanyang killed Taiyin and returned his body. Firstly, Taiyin could be buried in peace, and secondly, he could use it to frighten the Black Lotus Sect. But he didn't do this and just sent back a weapon. There is certainly something fishy about this.”
The leader clasped his hands behind his back and just looked at Qining without saying a word.
"After thinking about it, there is only one possibility." Qining sighed: "This is a carefully designed game, with the purpose of proving one thing and concealing another."
"What do you prove?" asked the leader, "What do you cover up?"
"Prove that Taiyin is dead." Qi Ning said word by word: "Hide that Taiyin is not dead yet."
"oh?"
Qi Ning smiled lightly and said: "In fact, Taiyin was not killed by Xuanyang at all. Everyone in the Black Lotus Sect knew that Taiyin went after the traitor Xuanyang. This was deliberately made to make everyone think that Taiyin died in Xuanyang's hands. As a result, there will be no Taiyin elders in the world."
The leader said: "Why is he going to such trouble? Why is he trying to hide that he is still alive?"
"For the leader." Qi Ning sighed: "They betrayed the leader, made the leader lose his memory, and lived in the world. As a result, the Black Lotus Religion was leaderless. This is of course an extremely dangerous thing for the Black Lotus Religion. Shenhou Mansion The only one who rules all the sects in the world is the Black Lotus Sect in the Western Frontier. However, I know that there are files of the Black Lotus Sect in the Shenhou Mansion, so the Shenhou Mansion is not indifferent to the Black Lotus Sect. It’s just that they I know that the leader is a great master, so I don’t dare to come and provoke him.”
The leader looked indifferent, and Qi Ning continued: "So the Black Lotus Religion must have a leader. This is the foundation for the Black Lotus Religion to continue to exist."
The leader said: "You understand this truth, but it's a pity that the rebels don't understand it. The Holy Religion was created by me, and everyone can cease to exist, but without me, the Holy Religion is nothing."
"When eight gangs and sixteen factions attacked the Black Lotus Cult, the whereabouts of the Black Lotus Cult Leader appeared." Qining smiled bitterly: "At that time, I only thought that it was really the Black Lotus Cult Leader, but in the Snow Mountain, I knew that you were the real Black Lotus Cult Leader." Master Lian, I finally understood at that time that the leader who appeared in Chaowu Ridge was someone who was pretending to be the leader." He looked into the leader's eyes and said, "The fake leader, if I guessed correctly, is Elder Taiyin, that is, The Yin Wuji in the leader’s mouth.”
After learning the identity of the leader in Daxue Mountain, Qi Ning has been sorting out the context of the Black Lotus Sect. After integrating many details, Qi Ning has roughly clarified the strangeness of the Xuanyang Incident that year.
The most important part is that Qi Ning saw with his own eyes Ximen Wuhen, who had transformed into a bronze general, fighting with the leader of the Black Lotus at the edge of the Ice Pond in the Misty Flower Valley. The martial arts cultivation of both sides was evenly matched. This also made Qi Ning think that Ximen Wuhen was the best. Wuhen's martial arts has reached the level of a great master.
However, knowing that the strange man in the black cloak was the real Black Lotus Cult Master, and having witnessed the Grand Master's martial arts with his own eyes, Qin Ning realized that the Black Lotus Cult Master he had mistakenly believed at the time was still far from the strength of the real Grand Master, and My previous judgment that Ximen Wuhen's martial arts was close to that of a great master was just misguided.
But Qining is very sure about one thing. Although Ximen Wuhen's martial arts is not as terrifying as the great master, it is definitely much better than the several holy envoys of the Black Lotus Sect. One person's martial arts cultivation is comparable to that of Ximen Wuhen.
Naturally, the person who fought against Ximen Wuhen at the bank of the ice pond that day could not be any of the Four Holy Envoys.
Within the Black Lotus Religion, those whose martial arts are superior to the Four Holy Envoys are the real Black Lotus Cult Master and the two elders Xuanyang Taiyin. The martial arts of the Cult Leader is naturally unmatched by Ximen Wuhen, and at that time, the Black Cloak Monster Han Yuan The capital city of Ye was being built, so the master who fought with Ximen Wuhen at the bank of the ice pond that day could only be one of Xuanyang Taiyin.
In order to catch up with the escort team and rescue Xiaodie, Qi Ning chased from Huize County to the capital of Jianye. On the way, he encountered Mulangjun from Jiutian Tower. In order to avoid Mulangjun, he lost his footing and fell down the mountain, but by chance, he entered a cave. Inside, I had a chance encounter there, and not only got a precious blade that can cut iron like clay, but I even got an incredible set of footwork for walking freely. At that time, I didn't know who the dead bones in the cave were, but later it turned out that Through various clues, it was proved that the withered skeleton he met in the cave was most likely Elder Xuanyang of the Black Lotus Sect.
Elder Xuanyang fled Xichuan, knowing that the Black Lotus Sect would not let him go easily, so he hid in the mountains and had no contact with the world. As a result, it was naturally difficult to find traces of the Black Lotus Sect.
Qining was not sure why Xuanyang died, but the remains in the cave must be Xuanyang's.
In this case, the person between Bingchi Bank and Professor Ximen Wuhen can only be Elder Taiyin.
The news known to the members of the Black Lotus Sect is that Xuanyang defected and his whereabouts are unknown, and the Taiyin elder was killed by Xuanyang. But in fact, Xuanyang had already passed away. On the contrary, although Taiyin had his weapons and was sent back to Chaowu Ridge, But the man's bones were not seen.
"Elder Taiyin has never died." Qi Ning stared into the eyes of the leader and said slowly: "In fact, after the leader left, Elder Taiyin has been pretending to be the leader of the Black Lotus."
The leader suddenly smiled strangely and said: "Qining, you are indeed very smart to think of this. Then tell me, where is Yin Wuji now?"
"How do I know where he is?" Qining said with a bitter smile.
The leader stared straight into Qining's eyes: "You guessed almost exactly what they did back then, which shows that you are very thoughtful. If you were Yin Wuji, where would you be at this time?"
Qining raised his head, looked at the mountains in the distance, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Maybe he is in Chaowu Ridge."
"Oh?" The leader said calmly: "You mean, he is in Chaowu Ridge now?"
"Actually, the leader knew in his heart that he was in Chaowu Ridge." Looking at the undulating Chaowu Ridge Mountains, Qining said: "The leader could have killed Luo Wuying with one palm, but he punished him with eight volts and let him stay in Chaowu Ridge. Being tortured on the edge of the cliff, I know that the leader is not just doing this for revenge, but as a means to show Yin Wuji that you want to force Yin Wuji to appear."
"Do you think Yin Wuji will appear?"
"No." Qi Ning shook his head and said: "If Yin Wuji is really going to appear, he should have appeared by now. Five days have passed and there is no trace of Yin Wuji. This can only prove that this person does not care about Luo Wuji. Shadow’s life and death.”
The leader said: "In that case, wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts to do this?"
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "The leader is the great master. Everyone in the world is just an ant in the eyes of the leader. No matter who the leader wants to kill, it will be easy." After a slight pause, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that the leader Once you come back, you don’t just come back to kill people.”
