Master Yao sensed that something was wrong.
Ever since he seized Lu Mingshu's command, he gathered the elders who joined the bureau and chose a direction to break through.
This is the safest course of action under the current circumstances.
And the situation was just as he expected, the territory occupied by Zhou Liuzong gradually increased. If it can be stabilized, the Zhongyuanhai dispute this time can be considered unsatisfactory.
However, the already chaotic battle situation suddenly became even more chaotic.
Those messenger disciples were all taken away from the messengers, and they were isolated inside and outside the battle.
what happened? This is kind of weird...
Just then, he saw a figure flash past.
"Xun Zining!"
Seeing him, Xun Zining seemed to have seen a ghost. He jumped up and turned around to run.
"Where are you going!" Sect Master Yao shouted, and Xuan Guang's big hand grabbed him back.
Xun Zining plopped down on his knees, bowed his head, his face pale: "Master, please be merciful! This disciple just lost his mind for a while..."
Master Yao looked at him coldly.
Xun Zining was shaking so badly that beads of sweat slid down his forehead.
Master Yao is already used to Xun Zining's appearance.
Although in the eyes of those disciples, he has both background and talent, and is a high-ranking elite, but in the eyes of Master Yao, he is just an ant with only a little ability.
In these years, Xun Zining was pretty well-behaved in front of him, even though he always refused to give up and made some small moves—Sect Leader Yao didn't care, in fact, he would only feel strange if Xun Zining didn't do anything. It was precisely because he did that that Master Yao felt at ease.
Xun Zining's reaction was what a normal person should have. Anyway, his small movements could not escape his grasp.
The internal and external battles have been isolated, and there are only two confidantes around, and the head of Yao no longer hides. With a flick of his sleeve, a beam of mysterious light hit Xun Zining's body like a whip, causing him to shrink into a ball in pain.
He said sullenly: "How dare you put on airs in front of me?! Tell me! What happened?"
Xun Zining was restless and gritted his teeth. He was afraid of him, but he was also biting and refusing to let go.
Master Yao narrowed his eyes: "Don't you say so?"
Another ray of mysterious light slammed on him like a whip.
Xun Zining cried out in pain, barely supported himself, and knelt down on the ground.
"Hmph!" Master Yao continued to wave his sleeves.
Third time, fourth time...
After the tenth stroke, Xun Zining couldn't stand up anymore, and finally let go: "Master, please forgive me!"
"Say!" Master Yao's face sank like water.
Xun Zining showed hesitation.
"Don't tell me yet?" Master Yao gathered Xuan Guang again.
"No!" Xun Zining blurted out, his head drooping, almost buried in the ground, "I beg the master to show you your hand, this disciple knows everything!"
Master Yao said coldly: "Okay, tell me, what do you want to do here? What's your plan when you met someone with an unknown background?"
Xun Zining's face was pale. He knew that meeting Xie Xingchen at such a close place would not escape the eyes and ears of Sect Master Yao.
"Why did you run away as soon as you saw me? Are you looking for news for others?!"
"Master, please forgive me!" Xun Zining's voice was almost pleading, "Disciple, disciple... wishful thinking..."
Master Yao just looked at him coldly, without saying a word.
Xun Zining gritted his teeth and continued: "Someone asked my disciples to help me find out about the trend of our sect..."
Master Yao said indifferently: "Is this what you call eating inside and outside?"
Xun Zining was sweating profusely, and bowed his head even lower: "Disciple made a mistake, I beg the master to look at the past and forgive me this time."
Of course, Master Yao couldn't deal with him now.
Seeing that Xun Zining had kowtowed enough, he said, "If you make it clear, I might forgive you."
"Yes." Xun Zining wiped off his sweat and said in a low voice, "The person I asked you to inquire about is a yin cultivator, who is said to be from Guxia."
Master Yao squinted his eyes: "Gu Xia's Yin Xiu?"
"Exactly. He was the one who appeared to stop the Xuanyang faction from invading earlier. It is said that he was the prince of the Xia Kingdom. After the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, he took his subordinates to Guxia through the underworld."
"So it was him." Master Yao said softly.
He is an old man, and he knows the affairs of Lingke State better than these juniors.
"What does he want?"
Xun Zining moved the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "He wants to save Lu Mingshu."
Master Yao smiled: "There is actually Dongxu trying to save her, this little girl is stronger than I thought!"
Xun Zining bowed his head and remained silent.
"What else?" Sect Leader Yao asked coldly, "Is this chaos related to him?"
Xun Zining raised his head and glanced at him quickly, showing a little surprise.
"Say!" Master Yao shouted in a deep voice.
Xun Zining shook, and blurted out: "He did it! All factions were deprived of their orders, and he did it!"
Master Yao narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.
"What does he want to do?"
After listening to this conversation, an elder Dongxu said: "Senior brother, is this impossible? Even if that person was originally the prince of the Xia Kingdom, he is now a rootless and bottomless yin cultivator. Such tricks? Not to mention our Zhou Liuzong, even the Xuanyang faction, he can't afford to offend him!"
"Yes!" another confidant said, "this is very strange! Could it be this kid talking nonsense?"
"Disciple is not talking nonsense!" Xun Zining said hastily, "He has joined forces with several unfounded Dongxu, intending to take advantage of Zhongyuanhai this time to grab the territory. He also said that as long as he starts, someone will follow. Even if someone tracks it down afterwards, it’s not a big problem.”
Master Yao pondered for a moment, then asked: "Why did he try his best to save that girl?"
Xun Zining hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard him talking to my subordinates, it seems that there is something crucial in the hands of Lu. This person is powerful, his cultivation is deep, and he intends to make an impact..."
Suffice it to say.
Master Yao frowned. Knowing Lu Mingshu's secret, he immediately thought, could it be that the former Prince of Xia wants that? If it is this thing, it is indeed worth his efforts.
"He asked you to inquire about the movement of the door, what else?"
Xun Zining shook his head: "No more. He doesn't trust his disciples, that's all he said."
"Really not?"
"Really..."
The mysterious light in Master Yao's palm gathered again.
"Master, be merciful!" Xun Zining was so anxious that he was sweating again, and blurted out, "He wants to set up a trap to kill the master!"
The mysterious light on his palm dissipated, and Sect Master Yao asked: "How to set up a situation?"
"This disciple really doesn't know anymore." Xun Zining pleaded.
Master Yao believed this time. If it were him, he wouldn't let Xun Zining, an outsider, know about such an important matter.
However, that doesn't mean he can't.
"Aside from letting you inquire, what else does he ask you to do?"
Anyway, after having said it all, Xun Zining looked dejected and made it clear: "He asked his disciples to send some news to lead you to that place..."
While listening to him, Master Yao showed a sneer.
Alright, a rootless yin cultivator wants to plot against him!
