Lu Xiaoying said coldly: "Hua Yanyu, it turns out that you are the traitor hiding among us."
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "Why do you think so? Is it because I'm wearing clothes? Is it okay for me not to be honest with you?"
"Of course you can. But you used illusions to cover your body, so we think you are not wearing any clothes, which is strange." Lu Xiaoying pointed at Guazier, "Guazier has a very sensitive nose, and it can smell who has cloth on them."
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "You doubt me based on just a few pieces of cloth. Isn't that too hasty?"
Lu Xiaoying smiled and said, "Your skills are second to none in the Xuanjing Division. I think I am right, am I not?"
"But where were you when the magic box exploded three times? You were not there when we were fighting the snakes; you were not there when we were hiding from the water on the roof; you were still not there when the wind blades killed people. Where were you during those times?"
Hua Yanyu said: "I am guarding the magic box."
"Yes, you are indeed guarding the magic box." Lu Xiaoying nodded, "and there is more than one person guarding the magic box. However, if you look closely at the people who were killed each time, it is easy to draw a conclusion. That is, the first person to die had once guarded the magic box with you."
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "What does this mean?"
"It means you are killing people to silence them." Lu Xiaoying stared at Hua Yanyu and said, "Because you have left the magic box before. Especially in the incident of Feng Ren killing people, there was actually no ghost at all. The one who was really killing people was you."
Hua Yanyu looked at Lu Xiaoying with a half-smile: "Your conclusion is because the wind blade is similar to my soul-breaking string, right?"
"Not exactly." Lu Xiaoying said, "The four outbreaks of the magic box all started from Xuan Jing Si. Since we got the magic box, the magic box in our hands has never killed anyone. Do you think this is because the evil spirit of the magic box prefers Xuan Jing Si, or because someone is secretly controlling the magic box closest to her?"
In my memory, the magic box exploded three times, but Lu Xiaoying said it was four times. It seems that the magic box exploded once again when I was not around, and was successfully resolved by Lu Xiaoying.
Lu Xiaoying didn't wait for Hua Yanyu to finish her words and continued, "Perhaps, you will say that it was because Guan Qingyan used the Way of the God of Wealth to suppress the magic box. In fact, Guan Qingyan's practice of the Way of the God of Wealth was not very good. Ever since the time when the big wind blade killed someone, she had set up the wrong magic circle, and it has always been wrong."
"That time, I felt very strange. Why could a wrong magic circle suppress the notorious magic box? Later, our two sides came together, and the distance between the two magic boxes was less than ten meters, but it was still the magic box on your side that attacked first, so I began to suspect that someone from the Xuanjing Division was playing tricks."
Lu Xiaoying paused for a moment and said, "Of course, you can also say that the magic box in our hands is actually a fake. But before you say that, you'd better ask your teammate Nangong Ling what she did. When she was choosing the magic box, she swapped the box you guarded the night before with Wu Zhao. Am I right?"
Sun Yue turned to look at Nangong Ling and asked through gritted teeth, "Is she right?"
"She..." Nangong Ling managed to say a word, "Yes..."
"Hahahaha..." Hua Yanyu laughed, "You don't have to lie to me. No one can be fooled by Nangong Ling's acting skills. Besides, I was standing in the crowd and watching you choose the magic box. Nangong Ling did want to switch the magic box at that time, but she didn't have that opportunity."
Hua Yanyu looked at Lu Xiaoying and said, "In fact, before this, you only had doubts about me, but you didn't have any solid evidence. You have been waiting for the right time, right?"
"If I hadn't used Yugui incorrectly this time, you would still have waited for the next opportunity. Because you know that you only have one chance to expose me. Once you can't reveal the secret directly, I will take the opportunity to counterattack. The Xuanjing Division, which has long been in a panic, can't stand any internal strife."
"If I take the lead, and Nangong Ling, who is bent on revenge, assists me, there is more than a 90% chance that the Xuan Jing Division will be destroyed directly, and you will become the first target to be eliminated. Therefore, you would rather keep calculating your chances and hold on, rather than jump to conclusions."
Hua Yanyu paused and said, "This time, the ghost I chose is good at killing people through gaps, and if I want to control this kind of ghost, I must hide a lot of talismans on my body. As long as I take off my clothes, the target will naturally be exposed. Is this what you are waiting for?"
Lu Xiaoying nodded and said, "That's right!"
Hua Yanyu clapped her hands gently and said, "People say that fox demons are cruel and snakes are venomous, but in fact, the truly cruel one is you, Lu Xiaoying."
Hua Yanyu pointed outside the window and said, "I didn't do anything to deal with the sorcerer. He died at the hands of you and Xiao Baitang, right? You asked Xiao Baitang to secretly poison him, and you also deliberately pointed out that he might be hiding something evil."
"Nangong Ling, who has always been against you, will certainly not miss this opportunity and will naturally make trouble for you. As a result, Xiao Baitang made the poison take effect just when Nangong Ling turned his head. The man lost his mind in the pain in an instant and naturally grabbed things randomly. When Nangong Ling took action, he would definitely be poisoned beyond recognition. In this way, the signs of Xiao Baitang's poisoning were concealed, and you could naturally ask everyone to take off their clothes, right?"
Lu Xiaoying said: "You are wrong about one thing. The poison was Xiao Baitang's poison, but I was the one who poisoned it."
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "Anyway, I was still discovered by you because I was careless. However, I am very curious, how did you catch me without an expert?"
While Lu Xiaoying and Hua Yanyu were confronting each other, I originally wanted to let Guazi move to cooperate with Lu Xiaoying's attack, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my consciousness - someone was attacking my body.
I hesitated for a moment, and the piercing pain came again. I had to withdraw from Guazi'er's consciousness and return to my body. When I opened my eyes, I saw myself sitting in a speeding bus. Ye Jin was controlling the car to drive fast. The disciples of Prajna Temple beside me had already fallen to the ground, and only Zhihui, who had stronger skills, was still struggling to support it.
"What's going on..." I wanted to ask "What happened?", but before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by the severe pain in my abdomen.
Zhi Hui said weakly: "The antidote we took was poisonous..."
Only then did I finally understand. The undercover agent didn't have any antidote on him. The so-called antidote was just poison wrapped in a layer of outer layer. Not long after I took the antidote, the poison started to take effect.
Ye Jin shouted loudly: "Zhaozi, hold on, we will be there soon, just hold on a little longer!"
I looked out the window with a cold sweat on my face. The car was heading towards the manor where Xuan Jingsi was located. Ye Jin wanted to take me to find Xiao Baitang to detoxify me? That should be right. Xiao Baitang was the only poison expert we could find. Who else could we find to detoxify me at this time
Although Ye Jin had driven the car at the fastest speed, my internal organs felt like they were being gripped and twisted by a ghost. The pain pierced from the inside out. Even the Xuanming Qi could not be circulated. I could only rely on my willpower to endure it.
The irresistible pain rushed into my consciousness again and again. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from beside me—a monk from Prajna Temple fell to the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth, and died without leaving a single word.
Ye Jin looked back and said, "Zhao Zi, you have to hold on, we will be there soon, we will be there soon..."
I clearly heard Ye Jin roaring, but my consciousness began to gradually become blurred. Although I could still see the scenery outside the window, there was only a "buzzing" sound in my ears...
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard a deafening roar. My spirit was subconsciously shaken, and I barely glanced out the window. It seemed that Ye Jin had crashed into the outer wall somewhere, and the car was rushing forward madly, crushing the broken bricks on the ground.
Ye Jin rushed into the manor
This thought just flashed through my mind for a moment, and everything in front of me started to become blurry...
When I opened my eyes for the second time, I saw Ye Jin, whose face was covered in blood, holding me and running towards the manor. Xiao Baitang was also crying and rushing towards me from a distance. I wanted to smile at her, but I fainted before I could see Xiao Baitang's appearance clearly.
I didn't know how long it took before I woke up from my coma. What surprised me was that I was carried to the open space outside the manor, surrounded by warlocks wearing the same clothes. When I was about to stand up and speak, Dou Ma, who was standing next to me, gently waved her hand at me and said, "Don't talk, just watch. You are safe in the Jiuchong Pavilion camp."
I turned my head and looked into the distance, only to find that all the major sects except the Red Roof Mansion were gathered in the open space. The Senluo Emperor of the Hell Gate even came over in person, and the Seventh Shuilan sat beside the Senluo Emperor.
I knew that the Seventh Shui Lan held an extraordinary status in the Hell Gate, but I never expected that she could be on par with Emperor Senluo.
When I cast my eyes towards the rostrum, I was stunned again - the person sitting there was Hua Yanyu. There was only Hua Yanyu on the rostrum, but she gave people a sense of arrogance and majesty, even the great emperors like Senluo and Shen Lin were firmly suppressed by her. Who exactly is Hua Yanyu
While I was wondering, Hua Yanyu slowly spoke: "Since everyone is here, let me announce the results of the preliminary saint assessment. This time, Taixu Holy Land set up a magic box to assess the preliminary saints. A total of sixty-one people participated in the assessment, among which..."
I couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "The third game was fake?"
Dou Ma whispered, "That's right, the top leaders of the five major sects and the Council of Elders of the Art of War have already known the content of the test, and only we, the middle and lower level warlocks, have been kept in the dark."
I was shocked and said, "But, so many people died..."
