Zhao Min didn't know that this crisis almost exposed her and Li Yan.
Although she and Li Yan had a detailed plan, the gap between their cultivation strength and Dong Liqing's was too great, so some things could only be planned but not controlled.
Even though Li Yan knew that the other party was poisoned, he did not dare to get close to him and finally chose to escape early.
This gave Dong Liqing, who was conscious a moment before his death, the opportunity to leave a note, and it was this little bit of information that almost dragged Zhao Min into the vortex.
So although Li Yan is careful, he is simply unable to make every possible plan in the face of absolute power.
All we can say is that God favors them both.
Otherwise, once Zhao Min was exposed, after the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator, even with her current identity, she might have to use secret methods to search her memory by the Grand Elder.
It’s just that they won’t search Zhao Min’s soul forcibly. They will use more sophisticated and gentle means to find clues and will not harm Zhao Min’s soul in the slightest.
By then, what she discussed with Li Yan would definitely be exposed. She might not necessarily die, but she would definitely be severely punished.
Li Yan will no longer have a foothold on this continent. Is he going to run to the territory of the Black Demon Clan
Of course, if nothing happens to Dong Liqing when he tracks Li Yan this time, he will not publicize the matter, but will only intensify his own secret investigation.
In order to obtain better evidence to restrain Zhao Min, he would keep her firmly in his own hands.
But everything has its own destiny, and cultivating immortals is also a matter of opportunity and luck. Zhao Min and Li Yan should be thankful for this.
When Dong Liqing realized that he was about to die, he didn't think much and just wanted to leave all the doubts in his heart behind, and he actually did it.
The one who directly pulled Zhao Min out of this disaster was Shanggong Changge. Among the four Nascent Soul cultivators who had gone to investigate, Shanggong Changge knew what Dong Liqing had been trying to do in recent years.
When she saw the line of disjointed words, her heart skipped a beat.
She immediately felt that something was wrong, but as a very shrewd person, her usually cold face remained expressionless.
Soon, she thought of a possibility, a possibility she didn't want to see.
She quickly forced herself to calm down in her heart.
Shanggong Changge came up with a very reasonable speculation in a flash of his mind, and also directed some directions to other places.
What she said was indeed reasonable, and the other three agreed with her. Shanggong Changge immediately suggested that they deal with the matter separately.
Her suggestion was extremely reasonable and was unanimously approved by the other three.
At this time, Shanggong Changge volunteered to go back and deliver a letter to the Dongli clan. After hearing this, the other three were overjoyed.
They all regretted coming here before, and now that a Yuanying has died, they are involved again.
At this juncture, someone took the initiative to deliver the letter and tell the news of Dong Liqing's death to the Dongli lineage's elders who had reached the state of transformation. This was what they had been longing for.
This is a bad omen. If things go wrong, the Dongli lineage's incarnation elder may get so excited that he may kick you away and injure you.
That was truly an unexpected disaster.
But considering that Shanggong Changge is a female cultivator, she still has to restrain her emotions to some extent.
Therefore, the three handsome young men also felt grateful for Shanggong Changge's action in their hearts.
With Gong Changge's years of experience in guarding the border, he had already considered the importance of this matter clearly.
Shanggong Changge quickly rushed back to the "Holy Demon Palace", but she did not go directly to meet the Shenhua elder of the Dongli lineage. Instead, she first took a walk around the palace, and then went straight to the Dongli Qingdong Mansion.
Inside the hall, she summoned several of Dong Liqing's disciples with a frosty face, and then began to ask them harshly about Dong Liqing's whereabouts in recent days.
Dong Liqing had five disciples in total. Although they were very respectful to Gong Changge, when she asked about Dong Liqing's recent situation, their eyes flickered and they avoided the question.
Shanggong Changge didn't want to get entangled with them any more. Finally, he glanced at each of them and snorted coldly.
"Then I'll tell you straight, something happened to Dong Liqing.
I am verifying some things now and will report some results to your master soon. If you don’t want to tell me, then forget it.
However, if your master comes to ask questions directly later, don’t say that I have never been here…”
After saying this, she stood up. Although she said that Dong Liqing was in trouble, she did not mention his death. She was afraid that these disciples would get furious after hearing it, and it would be a waste of time to appease and ask them.
"A bunch of bastards, they really don't want to speak out, they must know some secrets of Dong Liqing!"
Just when Shanggong Changge looked expressionless and seemed to be about to leave in anger.
When Dong Liqing's five disciples heard what their uncle said, their faces changed drastically. It turned out that something had happened to their master, and this matter would even alarm the Ancestor Huashen.
The tempers of those old monsters are more difficult to grasp than Dong Liqing. Fortunately, they have served Dong Liqing for at least several hundred years.
It’s hard to say about the ancestor of Huashen. He may be fine one moment, but turn hostile and kill people the next.
Although they were all his direct descendants, Uncle Shanggong had said it so seriously, and Master Dong Liqing hadn't returned yet, which delayed things. The ancestor would really kill people.
They certainly felt that the situation was serious, otherwise, Uncle Gong would not have dared to come and talk nonsense about such a big matter.
Dong Liqing's eldest disciple immediately bowed and saluted, then quickly recounted Dong Liqing's recent situation. Finally, after some hesitation, he told the master about how his master chased Zhao Min out of the palace today.
The only reason he dared to say this was because they knew that their master had personally asked this uncle Shanggong to propose the idea of dual cultivation to Zhao Min.
Thinking of the relationship between Master Shanggong and Zhao Min, he felt that he could say it.
Anyway, the other party knows the master's thoughts very well. The master has no ill will towards Zhao Min. He just has a special affection for her. It is not a big deal to pursue her.
"Uncle Master, may I ask what happened to our Master?" The eldest disciple asked anxiously at last, and the other four also looked over eagerly.
"Oh? I see. Besides you guys, is there anyone else who knows about this
If so, gather the rest of the people here now, and the ancestor may interrogate you in detail later."
Shanggong Changge did not answer the question of his nephew, but continued to ask with a frosty face.
This time, it was still Dong Liqing's eldest disciple who answered respectfully.
"Master, how can this... this matter be known to others? Only a few of us brothers know about it."
"real?"
"How dare I deceive you, Master?"
"That's good!"
Shanggong Changge's voice suddenly became erratic, and then the five people felt dizzy and immediately stood there in a daze.
A cold light flashed in Shanggong Changge's eyes, and with a wave of her jade arm, an invisible restriction immediately covered the place...
A quarter of an hour later, Shanggong Changge removed his hand from the forehead of the last disciple and let out a long breath.
Even with her level of cultivation, she was covered in sweat after casting the spell, and a rare look of fatigue appeared in her bright eyes.
After knowing that only these five people knew about this matter, and also knowing the time when Dong Liqing chased out, it would be much easier for her to act. There was no need to search through everyone's massive memories one by one to identify it.
But even so, Shanggong Changge was very tired.
The reason why she spent more than a quarter of an hour was that she did not delete the memories of the five people. Doing so would have saved her a lot of trouble, but it would have been easy for other senior monks to find out.
So she used her magical powers to tamper with all the memories of these five people about their surveillance of Zhao Min.
Zhao Min turned into a strange monk in the "Holy Demon City". Dong Liqing asked them to secretly monitor the other party after discovering the existence of this monk who was similar to a spy from the Black Demon Clan.
Finally, after that person left the city today, Dong Liqing got the news and followed him alone.
In order to achieve this, Shanggong Changge had been extremely careful in casting the spell this time, trying his best not to leave any sequelae to the opponent.
After calculating the time, Shanggong Changge knew that he needed to leave here immediately. As his spiritual power rose, the sweat on his body disappeared and he returned to his extremely cold expression.
Then he bent his fingers and snapped them, and six rays of light shot out.
Five rays of light shot into the bodies of the five people who were still in dementia, and another one quietly shattered the restriction they had set up.
Dong Liqing's five disciples only felt a flash before their eyes, and they looked a little dazed for a moment, and then they heard the cold voice of Uncle Shanggong.
"Okay, you guys just stay here. You might be questioned at any time!"
After saying that, the five people saw that Master Shanggong had disappeared at the entrance of the hall, and they did not feel the passage of time at all in the past quarter of an hour.
It seemed like just a flash before my eyes.
"Master, did something happen while chasing... chasing... chasing that Black Demon spy?"
When a disciple saw Shanggong Changge disappear, he thought about it and asked several others for confirmation uncertainly.
But he himself did not notice that when he said that his master had chased out the "spy", he felt a slight dizziness in his head. He even thought that he was frightened because he heard that his master was in trouble.
"That should be the case, but we'll know when Master comes back!"
Dong Liqing's eldest disciple nodded. He remembered very clearly what happened after his junior sister discovered the spy from the Black Demon Clan and made contact with someone else.
He followed the man to the city gate, and in the end he personally reported the situation to his master.
That man was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He thought that Dong Liqing's so-called accident might be a trap set by the other party.
However, the means by which a Nascent Soul cultivator could preserve his life were beyond their imagination, and they thought that the master was merely injured at most.
His proposal was approved by the other four people, who then began to discuss in a low voice and did not dare to leave the hall at will.
Shanggong Changge quickly entered the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Dongli lineage, and soon after, a surge of anger rose to the sky.
Afterwards, Shanggong Changge also flew out of the Dongli lineage with a calm face, and once again flew out of the "Holy Demon City" with the overwhelming momentum.
But when she flew out of the "Holy Demon Palace", her beautiful eyes glanced secretly towards somewhere in the palace.
"No matter whether this matter has anything to do with you or not, I have done my best!"
Nothing can happen to Zhao Min, otherwise, she was the one who brought her into the palace. If anything happens to Zhao Min, Shang Gong Changge will also be responsible.
Not only will you be punished, but you will also not receive any benefits in the future.
She planned to obtain more resources and advance to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future as Zhao Min's status improved.
At that time, she would immediately go to an unstable ascension channel that she controlled to try to ascend.
After reaching the Nascent Soul level, the suppressive force of the laws of heaven and earth had already appeared. She could no longer make rapid progress like she did when she was in the Golden Core stage, and had been stuck in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul for more than seven hundred years.
Even though the demons have a long lifespan, no cultivator would be willing to accept this.
And Zhao Min is definitely not a spy, she is very clear about this. Even if the Black Demon Clan is generous, they would not be willing to send out a disciple with such qualifications as "Ice Soul and Blue Jade Body".
This kind of physique is too important. Even for the Black Demon Clan's demonized and modified "Heavenly Demon White Jade Plate", it is still a rare successor that is hard to find in a million years.
No one would be willing to pay such a price just to be a spy.
