I looked at Sun Xiaomei coldly and said, "Turn around and let me take a look at your neck."
Sun Xiaomei asked: "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't make any sense." I suddenly pulled out the Rakshasa, "Are you going to turn or not?"
Sun Xiaomei suddenly showed a panic expression: "Wu Zhao, you still want to resist after all this? Tell me who is the spy of the Xuanjing Division in the Half Life Sect, and I can keep your body intact."
I said in a deep voice: "You are lying to me."
Sun Xiaomei sneered and said, "If the Half-Life Dao didn't have the secret method of dispersing souls, you would have been captured and soul-searched long ago. Why would I go to so much trouble? Hand over your secrets."
Although I don't know what the secret method of dispersing souls that Sun Xiaomei mentioned is, I can roughly guess that it should be a secret method used by the Half-Life Sect to prevent forced confessions. Once someone searches the soul of a Half-Life Sect disciple, the latter may immediately die.
If Sun Xiaomei had not acted so anxiously, I might not have suspected her. But now that Sun Xiaomei has revealed her true colors, I have put myself in a desperate situation.
While my mind was working quickly, a figure with a black scarf suddenly appeared behind Sun Xiaomei. The other person pressed her acupuncture points without Sun Xiaomei being prepared, and pressed a steel needle on her temple. Sun Xiaomei screamed with her eyes wide open: "Brother?"
"You are wrong. I am not your brother. If I am, I have only been your brother for one hour." The man standing behind Sun Xiaomei was obviously using a false voice.
"You... you tricked me into releasing Wu Zhao?" Before Sun Xiaomei could finish her words, the man exerted force with his palm and slammed a several-inch long steel needle into Sun Xiaomei's brain. The latter's body softened and she fell to the ground.
After killing Sun Xiaomei, the man turned around in front of me and opened the back of his shirt: "What do you want to see?"
The man had a tattoo on the back of his neck that was half a beauty and half a ghost face...
When I used the Heaven-Defying Hand to deduce the secrets of the universe, although I could not see the tattoo pattern clearly, I could see the hairstyle on the back of the person's head. The person was obviously a woman, otherwise she would not have tied up all her hair and stuffed it into the hood.
I said in a deep voice, "I have seen what I should see. I don't think you have just arrived. You should have heard where I want to go. Are you going to send me there, or are you going to arrest me?"
The man kicked Sun Xiaomei lightly twice. Sun Xiaomei, whose seven orifices were still bleeding, stood up from the ground stiffly and followed the man obediently.
The man took out a rope full of talismans from his body and tied up Sun Xiaomei's hands tightly, then said to me: "Follow me."
I said in a deep voice: "Aren't you going to give me the antidote?"
The man shook his head and said, "There is no antidote for the Softening Powder. If you don't take the Softening Powder for three days, the medicinal properties will automatically disappear."
I followed the man for a distance, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who are you and why did you save me?"
The man said, "I said I am a hidden man of the Half Life Sect. Do you believe me?"
I was slightly startled and blurted out: "I don't believe it."
Xuanjingsi is the guardian chosen by the Heavenly Dao, and is also the place least likely to have a hidden agent of the Half-Life Dao. Could this place be infiltrated by a hidden agent
The man said, "In fact, I am indeed a half-life hidden man. Gu Piaoran sent Nangong Ling to go undercover in the Xuanjing Division in order to take away Tongtian Realm. Don't you think this reason is very funny?"
"How did Gu Piaoran conclude that Tongtian Realm would be in Xuanjing Division? Is it because the name of Xuanjing Division carries the meaning of 'a bright mirror hanging high'? Even if there is a mirror in Xuanjing Division, it is not used to defy the heavens, but to identify the remnants of the Half-Life Dao."
The man said: "Nangong Ling's real purpose in entering the Xuan Jing Division is to contact the Ban Ming Dao's hidden agents in the Xuan Jing Division."
I said in a deep voice: "You knew her purpose, why didn't you save her?"
"Why should I save her?" the man said as a matter of course, "The purpose of the Half-Life Path is to change fate against the will of heaven. In this process, countless disciples will make sacrifices. Nangong Ling and Shi Bucong are just one of them."
"In your eyes, Shi Bucong is your brother in life and death. You would save him even at the cost of your life. In my eyes, he is not the key figure who changed fate. I can't expose myself because of their sacrifice. Perhaps you can understand it better if I explain it by saying 'one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers'."
Her metaphor may not be appropriate, but it is apt.
As a commander of a battle, even if he knows that his order is to send hundreds or thousands of people to die, he will not hesitate to send them to the battlefield. Compared with the victory or defeat of the battle, tens of thousands of lives can be ignored in the eyes of the generals.
Monk Shi, Nangong Ling, and even more Half-Life Dao disciples are expendable in their eyes.
I can accept her reasons, but I find it hard to understand.
The man suddenly laughed and said, "Why? Do you want to kill me? You don't have to deny it. I can sense the murderous intent in you. In fact, the person you should really kill is not me, but Zhan Wuxiang."
"Among the two most outstanding people in the Half Life Path, Ning Nitian can be considered a great man, because no matter how he planned, he would always leave a way for his successor to survive. So, I would say that he is still a man, a man who defies the will of heaven."
"Zhan Wuxiang is a tyrant. In Zhan Wuxiang's plan, anyone can be sacrificed, anyone can be calculated, and he is merciless."
"If Ning Nitian gave the descendants a choice, allowing them to choose whether to defy the heavens, then Zhan Wuxiang forced all the descendants of the Half-Life Dao into a desperate situation, forcing them to defy the heavens."
"As long as someone steps into Zhan Wuxiang's calculations, it means that he will push them step by step on the road of defying the heavens, and they can't stop even if they want to. Unless that person is willing to commit suicide, otherwise, they will have to fight against the heavens for their lives."
The man suddenly turned around and looked at me and said, "I think that as long as the heir of the Half-Life Dao knows that there is still a glimmer of hope, he will rush to change his fate like a moth to a flame. Don't you think so?"
I couldn't help but take a deep breath. What she said was absolutely right. However, I always felt that there was something else behind her words, as if she was hinting at something.
Just as I was puzzled, the man whispered, "We are about to reach the fifth floor. Be careful."
When I looked up, the man had already led me to an iron gate: "Someone, open the door."
Someone inside the door asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What's the situation on the fourth floor?"
The man said in a cold voice: "You are not qualified to ask who I am. Notify Sun Hao immediately and ask him to welcome you at the door."
The person inside the door said unhappily, "I don't even know your identity, and you want Taoist Sun to welcome you? Are you possessed by a demon?"
The man said in a deep voice: "I asked Sun Hao to come here to ask him in person how the Demon Suppression Abyss, which we were guarding, actually allowed the Blood Gentleman to escape."
The person in the door was startled: "What did you say?"
The man reached out and grabbed Sun Xiaomei from behind and pushed her to the door. "Look for yourself! Even Sun Yifan's fifth wife was murdered by the bloody gentleman. I want to see how Sun Hao explains to Sun Yifan."
The guard at the door pushed open a small window on the iron gate with suspicion and looked at Sun Xiaomei carefully: "It is indeed the method of the bloody gentleman. Excuse me, sir, what is the situation on the fourth floor?"
The man said in a cold voice: "I have sealed the Blood Gentleman into Sun Xiaomei's body. The guards on the fourth floor suffered heavy casualties, and all of this is related to Sun Hao. Why don't you go and inform Sun Hao to see me?"
The guard inside the door was silent for a moment before saying, "You should know the temper of Taoist Sun. If I don't bring some tokens, I'm afraid..."
"Humph!" The man snorted coldly and threw something into the small window. "Give it to Sun Hao."
"Sir, wait a moment!" The guard at the door became much more respectful and hurriedly ran to the fifth floor with the man's token.
I couldn't help but frown. Did that person know that I was going to the fifth floor
If she had simply heard me say that I was going to find a place full of runes, she wouldn't have been so well prepared.
The fact that she escaped from the fifth floor as "Blood Gentleman" alone shows that she had planned it all along.
The Bloody Gentleman's murder method might be faked, but as a fifth-floor guard, it is impossible not to take a look when you know that the imprisoned felon has escaped. If the Bloody Gentleman is still there, the man's deception will be exposed immediately, which is no different from walking into a trap; if the Bloody Gentleman is not there, then how did the man take the Bloody Gentleman away
Also, I could tell from her conversation with the gatekeeper that the man named Sun Hao should be the person in charge of the fifth floor, or even the entire black prison. She repeatedly asked the man named Sun Hao to come over to greet us, and she must be trying to impersonate some important person.
Is it possible that the head of the Black Prison has never met the top leaders of the Xuanjing Division? Once the man named Sun Hao comes to greet her, how will she end up
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my hands, but that man looked nonchalant and didn't care at all about the departing guard.
Not long after, the guard came back in a hurry, speaking with difficulty: "Sir... Taoist Sun said... he said... he said: I have never had the habit of receiving people. If you are willing to come in, send the Bloody Gentleman back yourself, I will never be greedy for the credit; if you don't want to come in, then get out of here as far as you can."
The man who brought me here snorted coldly and said, "Does Sun Hao really think he is the supreme elder of Xuan Jing Division?"
The guard quickly said, "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. Taoist Sun is just... just being a little more straightforward. He definitely doesn't mean to disrespect the Council of Elders."
The man said in a cold voice: "You don't need to tell me these words. Let Sun Hao keep them and tell the Council of Elders! Open the door for me immediately."
"Please wait a moment, sir." The guard quickly opened the door.
Not long after that person strode into the gate with me, a sharp and piercing bell suddenly rang out from the cell on the fifth floor... (To be continued)
