"Jiang Fu Ling, have you noticed that there is a traitor among us?"

With these words, the entire Yongzhou Ding fell into silence.

Everyone's gaze turned towards Jiang Taiyuan, because the Zhou royal family had sent so many people, and he was the most suspicious.

Nowadays, the Zhou royal capital is only so big, with not many armies and not many directly controlled fields. They mostly rely on the tributes from the various lords to sustain their livelihood.

This reliance is completely due to the high status of the Zhou emperor in sacrificial rituals and culture.

Therefore, the majority of the Zhou royal capital are civil officials, each with their own responsibilities and considerable professional abilities.

Only Jiang Taiyuan, as the director of the Zhou Music Bureau, couldn't even play a complete piece of music.

No one knows how he managed to obtain this position.

Moreover, since arriving in Jiangcheng, all the officials have been well-behaved, only attending various ceremonial activities and never having any private contact with sensitive forces.

Only Jiang Taiyuan openly had close contact with the hostage for exchange from the Kingdom Qian, Wuji, the son-in-law of the Kingdom Li.

Yes!

On the surface, the Zhou royal family only participated in a grand gathering of scholars, but does anyone not know what they are actually planning?

Jiang Taiyuan's actions were like writing the word "traitor" on his face.

If looks could kill.

Jiang Taiyuan would probably be reduced to ashes.

Anyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere of the situation.

Only Jiang Taiyuan acted as if nothing was wrong, even teasing the female official and smiling at Nangong Yu, "Young Marquis, don't falsely accuse me without evidence. Do you have any proof that I am a traitor?"

Nangong Yu coldly snorted, "If you are not a traitor, then why do the Zhao family and the Kingdom Chu know so much about the situation inside the tomb?"

"It's just a coincidence!"

Jiang Taiyuan innocently replied, "I am, after all, a scholar. Isn't it strange that I was the first to find the Ding? Besides, the old capital is just ancient, but it did exist. How do you know that there were no experts guiding others behind the scenes?"

Nangong Yu was almost driven to laughter by anger, "Your arguments are baseless. Even if there were other experts who knew, they definitely wouldn't include the Kingdom Chu. When the old capital was destroyed, the Mi clan was still hunting in animal skins. Are they qualified to know about the situation in the old capital? Are you trying to say that there are other countries who are afraid of having too few competitors and deliberately propping up the Kingdom Chu?"

Jiang Taiyuan smirked, "Oh? Maybe there really are such despicable people!"

"You!"

Nangong Yu was furious. He didn't expect Jiang Taiyuan to be so shameless.

Jiang Taiyuan rubbed his stubble and said, "Young Marquis, the emperor sent me here this time to help you break the formation. Even if you don't thank me, it's fine. But to falsely accuse me without evidence, when you accuse me, you don't even have any proof!

You should know that a master of formations needs a clear mind. If you make me confused with anger, I can't guarantee that I can break the Nine Ding Formation!"

The threat in his words was already very clear.

Everyone present was furious.

"Jiang Taiyuan! You are being insolent. How dare you speak to the Young Marquis like this?"

"You are always colluding with Wuji. Do you still need evidence?"

"You are just a lowly director of the Music Bureau, yet you dare to threaten the emperor. This is truly outrageous!"

Jiang Taiyuan sneered, "Damn it! Even a clay figure has some fire in it. If you say I am a traitor, then show me the evidence! If you can provide evidence, I will gladly let you chop off my head. But if you don't have any evidence, then shut your damn mouths! If you provoke me, even if the Nine Ding Formation is established, I won't teach you the formation. Cry while hugging the Ding yourself!"

"You!"

Everyone was furious but dared not say another harsh word.

Because the Nine Ding Formation must be broken by a master of formations.

In the current world, there are probably less than ten people who can break this formation, and most of them are true experts. They are not people they can invite, nor are they people they dare to invite.

If they were without Jiang Taiyuan, they would probably have to cry while hugging the Ding.

Seeing the angry but silent appearance of this group of people, Jiang Taiyuan couldn't help but sneer, "Hey! My dear brother Ying was right. Technical skills are indeed highly valued in this world."

"Is that so?"

Nangong Yu coldly laughed, "Does Director Jiang really think that we can't break the Nine Ding Formation without you?"

Jiang Taiyuan's eyebrows furrowed, suddenly feeling a sense of unease.

In the entire Jiangcheng, there is indeed more than one person who can break the Nine Ding Formation.

Han Juan, the unparalleled genius of the Tai Shang Sect, should have no problem breaking this formation.

But... even if the Tai Shang Sect really wants to get involved in this matter, they wouldn't help the Zhou royal family. Even if Han Juan is the legitimate son of the Han family!

He naturally didn't believe it.

But looking at Nangong Yu's confident appearance, he felt a bit uncertain.

Nangong Yu's gaze turned cold, "So I advise Director Jiang to be honest. If you go too far, even if you have the support of the parallel king, I have ten thousand ways to make you unable to survive in the Zhou royal capital!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Taiyuan's face immediately darkened.

The others were all shocked.

"The parallel king!"

"Jiang Taiyuan is actually associated with the parallel king!"

"No wonder someone who can't even produce a complete sound can become the director of the Music Bureau!"

"But isn't the parallel king in complete agreement with the emperor? How could..."

Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of the situation.

Speaking of the parallel king, his background is truly extraordinary.

He is the twin brother of the current Zhou emperor, with an extremely noble status, but he has never appeared in public.No one knows what the King of the Same Rank is doing, they only know that he is highly regarded by Zhou Tianzi. They even vaguely feel that most of the hidden hands laid by Zhou Tianzi in the various countries are controlled by the King of the Same Rank.

Because in the entire capital, besides Zhou Tianzi, the one with the most power is Nangong Ling.

But even Nangong Ling is extremely wary of the King of the Same Rank.

However... what does the King of the Same Rank want to do this time?

Jiang Taiyuan's identity was exposed by Nangong Yu, and he was warned again. His mood was quite unpleasant.

With a snort, he looked elsewhere.

His anger was overflowing, but it didn't all come from Nangong Yu.

More of it came from that former disciple of the Supreme Observer!

What exactly does this arrogant person want to do?

...

Southeast of City Jing.

A huge bronze cauldron was suspended in the sky, like a floating kite, firmly held by two strands of true energy from the ground.

It kept rotating, as if it was desperately trying to break free, but it couldn't break free at all.

As long as the two strands of true energy were willing, it was only a matter of time before it was dragged to the ground.

However, not a single strand of true energy was willing to exert more force.

This bronze cauldron was the Ji State Cauldron.

The Zhao and Han families have been confronting each other here for a long time, and neither of them wants to exert any more effort to give the other side a greater chance of winning.

This time, both sides have sent out their elite young talents, and neither can do anything to the other.

Although the Zhao family is of royal blood, and the Han family is just a family of scholars.

But in the Hundred Family Gathering, fair competition, what does your identity matter?

Moreover, the interests of the two major families have already clashed greatly.

A strand of qi from the Hundred Family Gathering, or a piece of earth-level spell jade slip, could create a future powerhouse. Even though it would be difficult to influence the overall situation, it would definitely not be possible to make concessions.

The core members of the two families are fighting for the ownership of the Ji State Cauldron.

The remaining people are defending against the corpse soldiers and the lone cultivators who are trying to take advantage. Whether it is the external battles or the internal struggles, it feels extremely oppressive and suffocating.

However, the situation is clearly in favor of the Zhao family.

After all, the Zhao family originally had a stronger foundation than the Han family, not to mention the assistance of the Mohist Guild.

If it weren't for Ying Wuji's order to them to preserve their strength before the Nine Cauldrons were determined, they would have already taken action against the Han family.

Unfortunately, they couldn't make a move!

After all, the Nine Cauldrons were the real main event. Although the Zhao family's power was stronger than the Han family's, if they pushed the Han family too hard, they would definitely end up with a serious injury.

Leading the Han family this time was Han Zhe, the eldest son of Han Zhe's knee. Five years ago, he broke through the Fetal Transformation Realm with a third-grade Spirit Embryo, ranking second among the younger generation of the Han family.

After Han Juan returned.

His position dropped again.

Fortunately, Han Xie was injured, and Han Juan was lazy by nature.

So, he became the undisputed commander of the Han family this time.

Han Zhe took a step forward, his gaze extremely cold: "Zhao Xin, the strongest talent in your Zhao family's bloodline is refining essence. The geniuses who break through to the third-grade Spirit Embryo are all achieved through refining essence at the twelfth level. Now, the four strands of qi luck on the burial plate are all from the military. The qi luck of the military is only useful when breaking through to the twelfth level of refining essence. Why do you need to compete with our Han family?"

"Tsk..."

Zhao Xin sneered: "Who would complain about having more geniuses with third-grade Spirit Embryos in their own family? We are not children anymore. The world of adults is all about fighting and killing. Where is there room for you to cry poor and act pitiful?"

As the trusted subordinates of Ying Wuji and Zhao Ning, they can get along with anyone in the royal family and the noble family. When Ying Wuji is not around, they act as temporary commanders.

Now he represents the interests of the entire Zhao family, and he is also in a dominant position. How could he possibly make concessions to the Han family?

The Zhao family doesn't want to suffer any injuries.

Do the Han family dare?

Han Zhe frowned: "Zhao Xin! I am also considering the talents of the people of the Kingdom Li. If your Zhao family uses it, at most there will be one more third-grade Spirit Embryo. But if our Han family uses it, it is possible to break through to the second grade..."

Zhao Xin grinned: "Then we definitely can't give it to you..."

Han Zhe: "..."

He was also desperate, so he used the national standpoint to pressure Zhao Xin.

But this move obviously didn't work well, after all, everyone knows what the relationship between the two families is like in secret.

He was so anxious that he felt a bit of heartache.

The qi luck of the Hundred Family Gathering itself is extremely precious, especially refining essence, which is the weak point of the Han family's bloodline and cultivation method. It is most beneficial for cultivating experts. What the Han family lacks is top-tier talents.

Even if it's a lie, they have to deceive the qi luck over.

Han Zhe sighed: "Zhao Xin, since the situation has come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore! Actually, we want this strand of qi luck solely for the sake of saving lives. Otherwise, how could our Han family, who is loyal to the Kingdom Li, think of competing with the noble family?"

"Huh? Saving lives?"

Zhao Xin was momentarily confused, unsure of what Han Zhe really wanted to do.

Loyal to the Kingdom Li?

This is pure nonsense!

But under the surface dignity of the Kingdom Li, this is a sentence that couldn't be more accurate.

"Yes! Saving lives! You also know my younger brother Han Juan. He had to become a Taoist priest at a young age because his innate essence was deficient and he had to rely on that Daoist expert to save his life.

Although he has recovered from his illness and returned, he is still in danger. If he can't break through to the twelfth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm, the day he breaks through the Fetal Transformation Realm will be the day he dies!

My father, Han Weiwei, has devoted himself to the Great Li, and Your Majesty is an extraordinary monarch. If Your Majesty knows about this, he won't be able to bear to let the only legitimate son of a loyal minister in the court die, right?"

"Wow..."

Zhao Xin: "Wow..."

The Zhao family members: "Wow..."

A Mohist: "Wow..."

The sound of gasps filled the air.No one expected that Han Wei would resort to the legendary moral kidnapping at this critical moment.

And he seemed genuinely distressed, as if he was about to burst into tears.

This round of kidnapping was tightly executed.

If they really refused, it would make King Li seem heartless and ungrateful, especially since all the scholars were watching in the shadows.

But even if they were heartless and ungrateful, they couldn't just give it to him easily!

Zhao Xin was tied up, gritting his teeth, ready to refuse outright.

But Han Wei cut him off in advance: "How about this! Since we don't know whether it's luck or jade slips in the cauldron, why don't we work together to get it down first? If it's jade slips, our Han family will definitely not snatch it. But if it's luck, then I ask Brother Zhao to be generous and let me take it back to save the lives of loyal ministers! What do you say?"

Zhao Xin was shocked, he didn't expect him to be so shameless.

The rewards in the cauldron were all put by Nangong Ling, how could you not know whether it's luck or jade slips inside?

Are you fooling children?

But your acting is too real!

You're almost choking on your words!

Letting go is definitely not an option.

But this has plunged the entire Zhao family into a moral abyss!

Damn it!

This fight for luck was supposed to be a battle of strong men.

How did it end up like women throwing tantrums and pulling hair?

Just as Zhao Xin was in a dilemma.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"The brotherly love of the Han family is truly touching, it even made me cry!"

In everyone's sight, a figure rose from the ground.

Ying Wuji pushed up the old city's floor, calmly dusting off the dirt on his body, and looked at Han Wei with a grin.

Han Wei instinctively took a step back, looking at Ying Wuji with a guarded expression.

After all, his initial use of moral kidnapping was based on the assumption that these young Zhao family members were inexperienced and thin-skinned, and had a sense of self-nobility as a royal family, and would not refute his seemingly correct words.

Although mere seemingly correct words are not enough to snatch luck, as long as the Zhao family retreats a step, he is confident that he can press them step by step with other rhetoric, making them suffer a dumb loss.

But Ying Wuji...

This man has no shame!

He can't be fooled by mere words!

Han Wei forced a smile and quickly said, "Since the prince is so considerate of our Han family, then I will thank the prince on behalf of my father!"

"Hold on!"

Ying Wuji sneered, making several "da mei" gestures at him.

Han Wei frowned, sure enough, Ying Wuji could never be the kind of person who would suffer a loss.

"Does the prince have any further instructions?"

"I dare not instruct!"

Ying Wuji sighed, looking distressed: "Actually, I also need the luck of the military family to save my life!"

Han Wei: "Huh?"

He suddenly thought of a bizarre heavenly technique - the shift of stars.

Ying Wuji looked distressed: "Since I can't hide it anymore, I might as well tell Brother Han, I'm afraid you all will laugh. You all know that I almost died suddenly in the High-class Brothel a while ago, and then I was framed by a villain, deeply involved in a murder case.

These two incidents have caused me a great psychological shadow. Some time ago, in order to marry the princess, I specifically found a famous doctor for a physical examination.

The famous doctor said that I was shocked too much, which led to the outflow of essence and energy. Otherwise, with my physique as the son of King Qian, I would have broken through to the twelfth level of refining essence.

The famous doctor also said that when I break through the fetal realm, I must have the cultivation of the twelfth level of refining essence, otherwise it may affect having children.

I am one of the only two sons of my father, and currently the only prince of our Kingdom Li.

Brother Han, your Han family is full of loyal ministers, you don't want the royal families of Qian and Li to decline, do you?"

Han Wei: "???"

The Han family: "???"

The Zhao family: "......"

The Mohists: "......"

Only Zhao Xin looked worried: "Prince, you're not really......"

"Shut up!"

Ying Wuji immediately silenced him.

Han Wei's mouth twitched, he didn't expect Ying Wuji to be able to make up such outrageous lies without blinking an eye.

He gritted his teeth: "Prince, this is just about having children, our matter concerns human lives, and Han Juan is the only legitimate son, you this......"

Ying Wuji sneered: "You just said that he will die only when he breaks through the fetal realm! Isn't it okay not to break through the fetal realm? Your Han family is not so short of masters, do you have to risk the only legitimate son's life?

It's just not breaking through the fetal realm, there's no loss, but if I don't have children, what will happen to the royal families of Qian and Li?"

Everyone: "......"

What was supposed to be a fight between strong men.

Instantly turned into a farcical drama.

Everyone was annoyed and didn't know how to proceed.

At this time, Ying Wuji smiled: "Moreover, regarding Han Juan's life, I can actually help more."

"What!"

Han Wei's expression changed.

Ying Wuji lowered his voice: "It's been twelve hours since we entered the tomb, and you haven't seen Han Juan, aren't you a little worried?"

Han Wei's face changed slightly: "What do you mean, Prince?"

Ying Wuji sighed: "He's in a place that's extremely hard for outsiders to find!"

Han Wei: "......"

He was really anxious.

Because in this tomb exploration, the most critical link for the Han family was Han Juan, and the Son of Heaven needed him to deduce the formation.

But it's been twelve hours, and they haven't found Han Juan's figure. Although they haven't shown it, he's been anxious for a long time.

Ying Wuji could ask him this question so confidently, he must know where Han Juan is.Han Wei took a deep breath and asked, "Does the Lord know where Han Juan is?"

"I do!"

"Is that place dangerous?"

"Hard to say! Everyone's constitution is different. Anyway, I had a hard time getting out."

"Where is that place?"

"I can't tell you directly, but I can guarantee that the Han family won't find it in a short time."

"This..."

Han Wei's expression became more and more serious. "Are you suggesting that you give us what's inside the tripod and we tell you the location?"

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Talking to smart people saves effort!"

Han Wei couldn't help but ask, "How can I trust that you're not deceiving me?"

"That's simple!"

Ying Wuji directly offered a drop of blood and activated the blood oath: "I, Ying Wuji, guarantee that every word I said just now is true. And as long as the Han family withdraws from the competition, I will tell you the real whereabouts of Han Juan. Otherwise, my meridians will burst and I will die!"

"!!!"

Han Wei exclaimed.

The people of the Han family exclaimed.

Zhao Xin panicked and said, "Lord, why did you even bring out the blood oath? It's just a small tripod, it's not that serious..."

Ying Wuji sighed, "Han brother, lives are at stake. Han Juan definitely won't be able to come out in a short time. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen during this period?"

Han Wei's face immediately became conflicted.

But Ying Wuji had already made a blood oath. Han Juan was probably really trapped in an extremely dangerous place.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Han family, listen up. Lock the tripod of Jizhou and give what's inside to the Lord!"

The energy of the military family was nothing compared to Han Juan.

"Yes!"

The people of the Han family had no choice but to obey. They quickly activated their true energy and took down the tripod of Jizhou.

Then they quickly handed over the energy of the military family to Ying Wuji.

"Lord, please!"

"Thank you!"

Ying Wuji smiled and directly absorbed the energy into his dantian.

Han Wei's expression became serious. "Lord, where is Han Juan?"

Ying Wuji grinned and said, "Oh! That guy is currently comprehending the fortune map in a mysterious place. He will probably come out on his own in a few hours. If you want to find him, I can give you the location!"

The people of the Han family were confused.

Han Wei's face became extremely ugly. "Lord, are you really not afraid of your meridians bursting and dying?"

"Look at what you're saying!"

Ying Wuji looked innocent. "I didn't lie just now, and I didn't plan to hide his whereabouts either!"

The people of the Han family were puzzled.

Ying Wuji shrugged. He really didn't say a single lie.

The Han family definitely wouldn't be able to find the location on their own.

He had indeed put in a lot of effort to find forty-seven jade pieces before coming out.

Han Juan probably needed several hours to comprehend it, otherwise he wouldn't have let himself and Mi Xingli come out early.

Although there didn't seem to be any danger at the moment, who could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen during that time?

Every word came from the bottom of his heart.

Why should I be afraid of my meridians bursting and dying?

The people of the Han family were puzzled.

The people of the Zhao family couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Mohists burst into laughter.

Ying Wuji asked, "Do you still want the specific location of Han Juan? By the time you find it, he probably won't be there anymore. He's about a hundred and fifty feet west of the north gate of the old capital, and then south..."

"No need!"

Han Wei coldly snorted and turned away.

The energy of the military family had already been absorbed into Ying Wuji's dantian, so it was unrealistic to snatch it back.

The formation of the tripod of Jizhou had also stabilized.

The Han family no longer had a reason to stay here. The longer they stayed, the more they felt humiliated by the gazes of the Zhao family and the Mohists.

"Let's go!"

He snorted and led his people out of the range of the tripod of Jizhou. Each of their faces looked extremely unpleasant.

With the departure of the Han family, the surroundings of the tripod of Jizhou became much quieter.

With the tripod of Jizhou in place, the bronze tripod suddenly emitted a powerful force, causing the corpse soldiers to retreat dozens of feet in fear.

The independent cultivators who had been chased by the corpse soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and nervously approached.

"Lord, can we take shelter here? Those corpse soldiers are too fierce!"

"Feel free!"

Ying Wuji made a generous gesture.

The formation was already stable, and the energy had been taken away. The tripod of Jizhou currently only had the function of positioning and providing shelter. It was purely a favor to let these independent cultivators take shelter here.

The independent cultivators were extremely grateful and immediately settled down near the tripod of Jizhou.

They had been in the old capital, filled with corpse soldiers, for a day and a night, which had been difficult for them.

Zhao Xin couldn't help but give Ying Wuji a thumbs up. "Lord, you're really amazing!"

"Tsk!"

Ying Wuji smiled. "In terms of strategy, I have never encountered an opponent in my life!"

Zhao Xin: "..."

Only someone shameless could say such words!

Ying Wuji waved to the crowd and said, "Come here and count the number of people!"

"Yes!"

The people of the Zhao family and the Mohist Guild gathered around.

Ying Wuji looked around and found that most of the people from both families were present. The people of the Zhao family were well-trained, and the Mohist Guild's secret code system was also quite mature.

After counting, they were still missing a few people.

One was Zhao Gao, one was Wu Dan, and the other was Bai Zhi.Wu Dan could understand if he got lost, because he wasn't a master himself and had almost no grasp of the secret code. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged the Thunder Method - Compass - Faraday Tracking Technique for him.

He gave Wu Dan a lot of life-saving talismans, so there shouldn't be any major problems. He just received his signal, so he should be here soon.

Zhao Gao... This is the outstanding figure of the Zhao family. According to reason, he shouldn't be in danger. Did something happen?

Bai Zhi is even more outrageous.

This personal maid of his learns everything very quickly, except for reading. She shouldn't have trouble finding the main force.

And she has also learned the invisibility technique of the Seventy-Two Techniques of Earthly Demons. These corpse soldiers cannot pose any threat to her.

She couldn't have any problems no matter what.

Could it be... she also got lucky and was teleported into a small instance?

The Grand Historian's Office, Chengkang Hall, or Muye Stele?

Damn it...

Zhai Yun asked, "Brother Ying, what should we do now?"

Ying Wuji frowned slightly, "Let's wait here for now, wait for our people to find us. It's already a great gain to snatch a Qi Luck. There's no need to consume our strength before the Nine Tripods are determined."

"Alright!"

Zhai Yun nodded. Their Mohist Guild's purpose this time was only to protect Ying Wuji's safety. Qi Luck cultivation techniques had no attraction to them.

Ying Wuji furrowed his brows slightly and took out a specially made coil from his pocket.

Thunder Method!

"Boom!"

The Faraday Technique exploded instantly.

Zhai Yun was already used to this situation. He also didn't understand why using the Thunder Method to bombard this coil could cause the pointer in Wu Dan's hand to deviate.

It's really amazing. After leaving the tomb, he should ask Ying Wuji for advice.

After settling everyone down, Ying Wuji used the Thunder Method to bombard the coil every ten breaths, quietly waiting for Wu Dan to arrive.

Sure enough, it was just the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Two figures came over, dodging soldiers and sneaking over.

Wu Dan was one of them.

And the other...

Zhao Gao?

Ying Wuji frowned slightly. Wu Dan was with Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao wasn't injured. Why did these two only find the organization now?

Something seemed off.

"Brother Wuji!"

Wu Dan ran over, finally relieved, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said, "I finally found you! It's really dangerous inside this tomb. If it weren't for my wit, this useless dog would have been eaten by the corpse soldiers long ago."

The useless dog he mentioned naturally referred to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Xin pulled Zhao Gao over and also looked puzzled, "Zhao Gao, this shouldn't be the case! I see that you're not injured either, so why couldn't you find the organization all this time?"

Li Caitan knew that this would happen, so he directly took out a hand-drawn map from his pocket.

"Oh! I thought I wouldn't be needed in front, so I followed Young Master Dan and drew a map of the old capital, just in case."

"Tsk! The drawing is really good!"

Zhao Xin took the map and sighed in admiration, but couldn't help feeling a bit regretful, "The markings are quite detailed, but the range is not comprehensive."

Li Caitan nodded, "There's no way. There are too many corpse soldiers, so I can only draw a part."

"Let me see!"

Ying Wuji took the map from Zhao Xin's hand. It was indeed drawn quite professionally, but he still had a strange feeling.

Wu Dan sneered, "Clearly, he couldn't understand the secret code himself, yet he insists on drawing the map himself."

"Tsk!"

Li Caitan disdainfully said, "It's really like a summer insect that can't speak of ice. How could the Zhao family not know such a basic thing as a secret code? It's you who has delayed my progress in drawing the map."

"Damn it!"

Wu Dan was a little angry and rolled up his sleeves, ready to argue with him.

But Ying Wuji smiled and pulled him aside, "Dan, can you tell me where you spent your time without Brother Wujige?"

Seeing that the others didn't ask much, Li Caitan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that he didn't expose himself. Hiding in the Zhao family's organization, he would definitely be able to play a more unexpected role.

And... the mortal world!

Li Caitan looked around the Jizhou Tripod and found a disheveled middle-aged man among the fallen individuals. He was the puppet possessed by the mortal world. The big organizations had checked for puppet marks, but the individuals hadn't, so this group of forty to fifty individuals should have fallen for the mortal world's trick.

The meeting was successful.

The undercover mission was successful.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side.

"The place I was teleported to is here."

"Then I escaped to here..."

"Why are all the maps in the middle empty?"

"And then here, here... the maps behind are all filled."

"Fortunately, I was clever and protected that useless Zhao guy. Otherwise, if the Nine Tripods were not determined, we would have lost some members."

Wu Dan explained in detail.

Ying Wuji narrowed his eyes as he listened, "So where did you meet Zhao Gao?"

"Here!"

"Okay!"

Ying Wuji's gaze turned cold. The map was indeed drawn professionally, but there was a big problem, a very big problem.

That is, the trajectory of meeting Zhao Gao completely coincided with Wu Dan's.

In other words, he started drawing the map after meeting Wu Dan.

And at that time, two hours had already passed since they were teleported in.

Two hours were enough for two or three members of the Zhao family to meet based on the secret code.

He didn't look for anyone or draw a map.

What the hell?

This Zhao Gao definitely had a problem. Whether he was the real Zhao Gao or not, there was a big question mark.

After all, there were too many methods of disguise in this world.

So who exactly was he?Two Earth-level spells, definitely a genius.

Wait!

Two?

The last time I saw someone like this was when I met Qing Shu and Qing Ting. Later, Qing Shu was seriously injured, and Zhao Ji specially sent someone to investigate their background.

Later, I found out that the real Qing Ting was still in Yan Kingdom and did not secretly leave home with her sister at all.

In other words, the Qing Ting I saw last time was fake.

And now, Zhao Gao is also fake.

It is very likely that the two of them are the same person.

So, who is he?

Could it be Li Cai Tan?

Because of what happened to Xiang Ding, he always felt like it was Li Cai Tan. Moreover, Li Cai Tan was originally a member of my sect, so the suspicion is even greater.

But after investigating the Li family's residence, I found out that Li Cai Tan has been staying there.

But if it's not Li Cai Tan, then who could it be?

Wu Dan looked at him with a serious expression and couldn't help but ask, "Wu Ji, is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

Ying Wuji smiled and lowered his voice, "When I pulled you over just now, it seemed like Zhao Gao cursed you as a useless waste."

"What the f*ck!"

Wu Dan immediately became angry, "If it weren't for me protecting him, could he still be alive? Damn it!"

Enough is enough.

He's not a ninja turtle. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go find Zhao Gao to settle the score.

"Are you crazy, Zhao Gao?"

"Eat your food and insult your mother, huh?"

"You dog, pure waste, turning the tables, huh?"

Zhao Xin was a bit confused, what's going on?

Why haven't they even settled the Nine Tripods and started fighting each other?

He was about to mediate, but was silently stopped by Ying Wuji, and then he saw Ying Wuji make a warning gesture to him.

"Do you have a problem with your brain, Wu Dan?"

Li Cai Tan was also inexplicably scolded. Wu Dan's performance today was actually quite satisfying to her, although he was weak and foul-mouthed, he had always protected his teammates like a man.

But why did he suddenly curse so harshly?

She was about to get angry, but then someone burst into laughter.

Ying Wuji grabbed Wu Dan by the neck and explained with a smile, "Don't be angry, Zhao Gao. My brother has a hot temper."

"Wu Ji, are you okay?"

Wu Dan was a bit confused. He felt like he was being dragged into this by Ying Wuji.

He insulted me, why are you apologizing to him?

Li Cai Tan's face darkened, "Tell him to control his mouth and not provoke me!"

She still needed to be undercover and didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Alright, alright!"

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "But you should also be more careful in the future. My brother hates it when people call him useless. Since he was injured by that woman who was like a public toilet, he has been working hard. Don't believe me? Ask those Mohists!"

Li Cai Tan: "???"

Public toilet?

Who are you talking about?

She wanted to kill someone, but for the sake of undercover work, she could only force a smile and not laugh, "Oh? So Young Master Dan has had this kind of experience? I'll restrain myself in the future."

【Hint】: Target emotional fluctuation value exceeds 90, randomly obtain Earth-level physique: Kun Cheng's Body (incomplete).

What the f*ck!

He had heard of Kun Cheng's Body.

The cultivation speed before giving birth was extremely fast, and once pregnant, more than half of the cultivation would be transferred to the child, increasing the chances of awakening ancient bloodlines.

But the incomplete Kun Cheng's Body was infertile... unbelievable!

This thing seems to be related to the Li family's bloodline!

"That's right! That's right! Harmony brings wealth, let's not argue in the future!"

"Wu Ji, are you okay? You f*cking..."

Wu Dan looked displeased. He felt that Ying Wuji was not handling this properly.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was pressed to the ground by a huge force.

Then, he saw Ying Wuji forming hand seals, with thunder and lightning all over his body.

And the others from the Zhao family and the Mohist Guild had already blocked all of Zhao Gao's escape routes.

Five Thunder Spell!

Heavenly Thunder!

"Take this!"

Ying Wuji didn't show any mercy. With a grasp of the void, lightning exploded all around Li Cai Tan.

The others also unleashed countless spells.

"Oh sh*t!"

Li Cai Tan had already sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't expect these people to be so ruthless and decisive.

She used her pinnacle Earth-level mixed Yuan True Qi to protect herself, while also throwing out protective talismans that were as common as dirt.

In the next moment, it felt as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was crumbling, with the ruins of heaven and earth pressing down.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Fortunately, she had enough protective talismans to block all the spells, but she still suffered some internal injuries.

But Ying Wuji's Thunder Spell was too fast and had a terrifying penetrating power. She didn't even have a chance to defend herself.

In just an instant, the mask on her face was completely destroyed, and she felt a numbness in her meridians. There was also a faint smell of burnt hair in the air.

In that moment of numbness, it was the most dangerous time.

Li Cai Tan bit her tongue hard, and while the smoke hadn't cleared, she forcibly activated her True Qi and flew away after taking a pill. Only then did she regain her composure slightly. In the next moment, her True Qi exploded, and she directly used a secret technique to fly away.

Her quick reaction left everyone dumbfounded.

She even left behind a cold voice.

"Ying Wuji, you're good!"

"What the f*ck?"

Ying Wuji was a bit stunned. He thought that he and his group were ruthless enough. With so many spells attacking at the same time, even if Li Cai Tan reacted, she wouldn't be able to defend against them.

But he didn't expect that not only did Li Cai Tan react, she also used at least ten defensive talismans in a very short period of time.

And she was able to activate her True Qi immediately despite the numbness caused by the Thunder Spell, and she flew away without any hesitation.

From start to finish.

It took no more than three breaths.

What the hell kind of monster is this?

Is the combination of the Kun Cheng Body and the Primordial True Energy really this powerful?

He turned his head to look at the crowd, all of them were dumbfounded.

Li Cai Tan's strength had surpassed everyone's imagination. In a one-on-one fight, none of the people present would likely be her match, even though almost all of the young elites of the Zhao family were present.

Ying Wuji's face looked somewhat grim: "From now on, no one is allowed to be alone. Even if you need to pee, maintain a group of five!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, feeling the pressure from Li Cai Tan.

No one objected to Ying Wuji's command.

After all, whether it was his verbal spar with the Han family or his command during the encirclement of Li Cai Tan, he had performed quite well.

Li Cai Tan did indeed escape.

But this was because Li Cai Tan was too strong, not a problem with the command.

"Damn it!"

Ying Wuji cursed under his breath. Li Cai Tan's sudden appearance and the strength she displayed made him feel increasingly uncertain about this trip to the Tomb Plate.

A girl who was almost expelled from the Li family had such formidable strength.

Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

What if other monsters appeared?

Damn!

He even had the impulse to break through to the Fetal Metamorphosis Realm with a first-grade spirit fetus right now, which would greatly increase his chances of winning.

But considering that the opportunity to condense a spirit fetus only comes once, and the strength of the people in the Tomb Plate does not vary too much, it is not a place to play individual heroism. There's no need to sacrifice his potential for a slight increase in the odds of winning.

It's really damn depressing...

Why is Li Cai Tan so strong?

This is not scientific!

"She, she is..."

Wu Dan looked in the direction where she had left, his expression somewhat dazed.

Although it was only a brief moment, he had seen Li Cai Tan's slightly scorched face.

This face was too familiar.

But how could it be her?

Why would she disguise herself as Zhao Gao and follow me around all day?

Wu Dan felt a tightness in his chest.

Ying Wuji patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. This woman is not kind. Don't show mercy if you encounter her again!"

"Don't worry!"

Wu Dan looked somewhat conflicted, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Our mission this time is to protect you. Whoever harms you, I swear I'll shoot her down!"

"Good."

Ying Wuji nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

Although Li Cai Tan was a public bus, Wu Dan had been quite active recently.

But this activity just proved that his pride had really been hurt.

Being hurt meant that he had put his heart into it.

Fortunately, Wu Dan was not the kind of person who was love-struck, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.

At this moment.

The scout sent by the Zhao family returned.

"Son-in-law! The Xu Zhou Ding has appeared!"

"Where?"

"In the east of the city, but it has already been claimed by the people of Qi."

"Hmm..."

Ying Wuji said in a deep voice: "In a quarter of an hour, we will go to Xu Zhou Ding for a visit. Remember to conserve your strength. When all nine Dings are claimed, do not engage in direct conflict with anyone!"

"Yes!"

"Rest and recuperate here for now!"

Ying Wuji gave an order and then walked towards Ji Zhou Ding, recording the direction and position of the base. Combining it with the position of the Qing Shi Liao, he picked out 2,916 possibilities from the 3,867 possibilities enumerated by his father-in-law.

Thankfully, he had the powerful memory and calculation abilities bestowed by the Mohist deduction technique.

Otherwise, just this selection process would waste a lot of Awakening Spirit Talismans and deduction time.

Heavenly secret techniques are indeed terrifying.

"Phew!"

Ying Wuji let out a sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead due to mental overload, stood up and waved to the crowd: "Let's move! Our target is Xu Zhou Ding!"

"Yes!"

More than three hundred people from the Zhao family and the Mohist Guild stood up in unison and followed Ying Wuji towards Xu Zhou Ding.

Before they had gone far, Ying Wuji felt as if someone was watching him and subconsciously looked back.

Unexpectedly, he met a pair of eyes.

These eyes belonged to a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard.

The look in his eyes was strange.

It seemed like admiration.

But also like pity.
