my fate is a monster

Chapter 164 The People Behind the Scenes
Guyun Town is just a border town.

The west side street leads directly to Julong Kingdom in the West Sea.

The Ghost Mother Temple is located under a mountain behind the street on the west side.

A shadow flashed quickly and landed in front of the Ghost Mother Temple.

It was Qin Yu.

"This temple is obviously located in Guyun Town. I have been here before, but I turned a blind eye to it."

"Haha...it's really a good trick for Old Gloomy Mother to hide this huge temple from my eyes and ears."

After looking up and down the temple, Qin Yu waved his hand and opened the door of the Ghost Mother Temple.

Boom!

The dilapidated temple door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was directly stirred into two parts by the real energy. One of the parts broke away from the door frame and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Qin Yu walked towards the temple stepping on the fallen leaves all over the ground.

The Ghost Mother Temple has obviously been without incense for a long time.

On the shrine inside, the sinister statue was covered with dust, and the cloak originally draped behind him had lost its original color.

The sky had darkened by now.

Qin Yu waved his hand and used his true energy to light the remaining candles in the temple.

Candlelight illuminates the Ghost Mother Temple.

Qin Yu discovered that the statue turned out to be a female ghost holding a ghost baby, with disheveled hair and a scarlet tongue sticking out.

It looks eerie, not like a god at all.

"I didn't expect the beliefs in the borderlands to be so strange."

"Someone actually enshrines this kind of evil spirit?"

Qin Yu looked at the statue of the Ghost Mother and shook his head slightly.

brush!
At this time, a ghostly aura suddenly flew out from behind the statue of the Ghost Mother, and fled out of the temple door with lightning speed!

Qin Yu frowned, and the demon-suppressing flying shuttles immediately spread out more than a dozen flying shuttles, covering the ghost energy.

Jingle Jingle!

The next moment, all the flying shuttles were like nails piercing the rock. While making fierce sounds, the ghostly aura immediately dispersed and turned into fine black sand, falling down.

"Do the Ghost Mother Cult like to pretend to be gods and ghosts so much?"

Qin Yu snorted coldly, glanced over with his demonic eyes, stared at the shadow behind the statue of the Ghost Mother, and slowly drew out the Kuli Magic Sword, "Wang Xiaohua, why don't you come out?!"

Stop drinking.

Hee hee hee……

"Celestial Master Qin is indeed worthy of the name of Heavenly Master. I can't deceive you even by making false claims in the east and in the west..."

Following a miserable ghost sound, the statue of the Ghost Mother on the shrine began to vibrate.

Soon, the statue of the Ghost Mother moved a certain distance to the west.

Then a figure wearing white robes, with long hair hanging down, and a ferocious face slowly emerged from the bottom of the shrine.

Astonishingly, it was none other than the gloomy old mother.

"Tell me the person who instigated you behind the scenes, and Pindao can let you go." Qin Yu ignored her words, holding the Kuli Magic Sword and said calmly.

The gloomy old mother's mouth was split from the corner to her chin, and she said with a sinister smile: "Qin Tianshi is too confident. Do you really think that if you can break the two ghost clones of me, you can really kill me?"

Qin Yu said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

The gloomy old mother shook her head and said, "You won't kill me."

"You are more confident than a poor Taoist." Qin Yu frowned, and a red light suddenly emerged from the Kuli Sword in his hand.

This was caused by the sword intention of the Kuli Sword itself, and it did not affect the power of the Zhenguo Iron Sword Spirit at all.

Rao is so.

The gloomy old mother's face still changed slightly, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she quickly waved her hand and said: "Qin Tianshi, please listen to me."

"Does Master Qin know how many people are secretly spying on Master Qin in Xijing of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"I am just a chess piece in the hands of these big shots. If you kill me, you will only increase your sins and cause endless harm. Therefore, if I were Qin Tianshi, I would never take action."

Qin Yu suddenly smiled, looked at the gloomy old mother lightly and said, "You are overconfident and talk too much nonsense."

After the words fell, the Golden Light Yun Divine Flag lowered its golden light again, dispelling the surrounding ghost energy. At the same time, with a flash of movement, the Kuli Magic Sword slashed out a green sword light, covering the gloomy old mother!

"You...why are you so reckless!?"

The gloomy old mother had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but unexpectedly the other party didn't bother to argue with him.

Seeing the sword light coming, the gloomy old mother quickly sacrificed a black bone.

hum!
Qing Ming's sword light struck the black bone vertically.

The majestic sword energy and sword intent instantly shattered the ghost energy contained in the bones.

The black bones shattered instantly.

The gloomy old mother's expression changed, and a ghostly aura emitted from her body, replacing her body out of thin air.

It's sizzling!

Kuli's magic sword was impartial and just tore apart the clone body condensed by the ghost energy.

However, the gloomy old mother dodged on the spot and landed beside the window on the east side of the Ghost Mother Temple. Her body once again exuded ghostly aura and she was about to fly out the window.

"Where to go?" Qin Yu's body flashed, and like a shadow, a sword light slashed down again.

Swipe!

Two ghostly bodies separated from the gloomy old mother's body, and they rushed towards Qin Yu, one from the left and the other from the right.

However, I took advantage of the momentum and swept away ten feet away.

Seventh level ghost cultivators are highly skilled, especially good at ghost clone techniques, and are more difficult to deal with than other professions.

Qin Yu was unhurried, raised his Kuli magic sword horizontally, and cut the ghost body on the right side into two pieces with one strike.

Hee hee hee……

At this time, the ghost body on the left also rushed over. As the ghostly energy dispersed, the foot-long claws directly attacked Qin Yu's heart.

Kuli's magic sword suddenly turned in the air, and the sword energy deflected past, cutting the ghost body into two pieces.

In a flash, Qin Yu was about to catch up.

But he saw the four ghost bodies stood up tremblingly, transforming from two ghost bodies into four.

The majestic ghostly aura and terrifying minions enveloped Qin Yu, directly blocking his way.

"Is it possible to kill him?" Qin Yu frowned and slashed out with the horizontal sword again, killing a ghost clone that had bullied him.

At the same time, he looked further away and found that the gloomy old mother was about to escape from the Ghost Mother Temple.

"It's just a fourth-level fate."

In the field of vision, the fate of the gloomy old mother appeared in front of her eyes.

Different from the [Blood-Hand Dragon Slaughter] that Gloomy Old Mother was destined to before, her destiny is just an ordinary fourth-level destiny.

Black aura condenses around the body, with wisps of green light scattered around.

The two fates were intertwined from time to time. Sometimes they condensed into the shape of a ghost baby, and sometimes they turned into a ball of black blood.

This is the fate of [seeing the spirit body].

People with this kind of destiny are generally called psychic beings.In the real world, they are the kind of people who claim to have seen ghosts.

In fact, people with this kind of destiny blessing will indeed see unclean ghosts, and because they have the aura of Yin spirits, they are very popular with ghosts.

The gloomy old mother has this kind of destiny, which is very consistent with her own profession.

So even though this is only a fourth-level destiny, it is like an emblem to the gloomy old mother, adding a lot to her cultivation and strength.

present.

Qin Yu paused and stamped his feet lightly. [Tiansha Lone Star] The doom-shaking fate-shaking skill of the fate was immediately unleashed.

In another time and space.

The gloomy old mother's natal status [see spirit body] was immediately affected by the tremor of doom.

The aura condensed in the fate lines was directly shaken into chaos.

"Wow!"

The next moment, the gloomy old mother opened her mouth and spurted out a stream of thick black blood. The body movements that were originally fully activated immediately stopped, and the ghost energy around her body spread out like steam.

The ghost energy actually represents her vitality.

The stronger the ghost energy, the longer the vitality.

But under the influence of the tremor of doom, the ghostly energy condensed in the gloomy old mother's body was directly disrupted.

The ghost arts based on this can no longer be used.

Buzz!

At the same time, the ghost clones that besieged Qin Yu disappeared out of thin air and turned into fine black sand, falling to the ground.

The tremors of misfortune of the seventh-level destiny are enough to tear apart the lines of the destiny below the seventh-level.

Although the gloomy old mother is at the seventh level, her fate pattern is only at the fourth level.

Not even as good as the previous [Blood Hand Dragon Slayer].

Shadows passed by.

In one breath, Qin Yu came to the front of the gloomy old mother.

"Wow!" The gloomy old mother opened her mouth again and spit out a mouthful of black blood, the vitality in her body was slowly passing away.

The fate pattern behind him has become so scattered that it is difficult to condense it into shape.

The fourth-level fate began to fall towards the third level.

As long as she falls to the first level, any misfortune can take her away.

However, when Qin Yu used the Tremor of Doom just now, he did not kill him. The reason for this was that he still wanted to find the person behind the scenes from the gloomy old mother.

"Your life won't last long. In Pindao's eyes, you are no different from a dead person."

Qin Yu walked over and knelt down in front of Old Shen's mother, and then looked at Old Shen's pale face with interest, a hint of ridicule escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Cough...cough..." The gloomy old mother coughed a few times with difficulty, her face and eyes were full of fear and disbelief.

"You...are you also a life hunter? Why can you control my fate?"

The gloomy old mother finally understood why she was so unlucky.

Qin Yu put away the Kuli Magic Sword, stretched out his right hand, and directly pinched the head of the gloomy old mother with the right palm attached to the green hand.

"What if you work for the Julong Kingdom in the West Sea?" Qin Yu said unscrupulously as the green horned hand can block ghost energy.

His expression was cold and murderous was coming from all directions.

As long as Qin Yu is willing to release a burst of true energy, he can crush the head of the gloomy old mother.

The gloomy old mother immediately shuddered, shook her head and said: "No... although I am from the Ghost Mother Cult of the West Sea, I have nothing to do with the Julong Kingdom..."

"Who is that? Jiangzhou rebels, Chaoyun Emperor, Tianmo Sect, or the foreign Liao Kingdom?" Qin Yu said coldly.

The gloomy old mother quickly shook her head and denied: "It's not...I...I don't know either...I only know that she lives in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and is the concubine of Emperor Chaoyun..."

Emperor Chaoyun's concubine?

Qin Yu was immediately stunned. Even he himself had never thought that the person behind the scenes would actually go to Emperor Yun's harem.

If it is said that Emperor Chaoyun is worried about himself, he sent someone to investigate secretly.

Qin Yu absolutely believed it.

Because at present, for Emperor Chaoyun, it is simply difficult to fuse the sword blanks of the two national iron swords.

With Emperor Chaoyun's suspicious character, he would definitely doubt Qin Yu sooner or later.

But the concubine of Emperor Chaoyun?
Qin Yu believed that he had never had any conflicts or even interactions with these people in the harem from beginning to end.

Why did he provoke someone else's harem?
"To be more clear, what is the name of this concubine? What is her title? Did she follow Emperor Chaoyun to Xijing this time?"

The next moment, Qin Yu's expression was calm, and he faced the gloomy old mother with layers of pressure.

At the same time, Qing Hushou also exuded a majestic killing intent. As long as the gloomy old mother had any deception, she would be taken away directly.

"Cough...cough..." The gloomy old mother shook her head weakly.

At this moment, her fate has dropped from the fourth rank to the third rank, and has started to fall from the third rank to the second rank.

This also took away a lot of vitality, and layers of ghostly aura were stripped from her body. After a while, the joints of the whole body were exposed.

It looks like a skeleton.

The gloomy old mother held on and said: "I... I only know her as princess. This time she followed Emperor Chaoyun from the capital to Xijing. One of her identities is Emperor Chaoyun's favorite concubine."

"Other than that, I know nothing about her."

Princess?

Qin Yu's heart moved and he continued to ask: "Did she instruct you to enter Laoya Temple and get close to Pindao?"

"You live in the West Sea and are a high-ranking member of the Ghost Mother Sect. Why would you surrender to a beloved concubine?"

The gloomy old mother nodded and said: "She did order me to do this..."

Having said this, the gloomy old mother paused, thought for a moment, and said: "Before I joined the Ghost Mother Cult, I was originally the daughter of a lumber merchant in Jiangzhou."

"Later, my family fell into decline, and my parents were killed by enemies. I also had a narrow escape from death. After several years of ups and downs, I was robbed by mountain bandits and suffered inhuman torture."

"But my life should not have been cut off, and I was saved by a wandering Taoist priest. It was he who avenged me and sent me to the Ghost Mother Cult."

"In order to repay this benefactor, I agreed to be his backbone..."

"But it's a pity that this benefactor of Laoshen died in the outskirts of Xijing not long ago, so Laoshen cut off contact with him."

"After that, the princess showed up and took out the token of contact between me and the benefactor, thereby activating my hidden identity and doing things for her."

After saying this, the gloomy old mother also sighed.

Qin Yu frowned, suddenly remembered something, and asked immediately: "Is your benefactor named Zhenren Zhou Yuan?"

The voice fell.

The gloomy old mother immediately trembled and asked in shock: "How does Qin Tianshi know?"

There was deep fear and confusion in his eyes.

You know, Master Zhou Yuan has a single line of contact with her, and it has been more than ten years since she entered the Ghost Mother Cult, and she has not been given any tasks for more than ten years.

Therefore, even within the organization, no one knew about her relationship with Master Zhou Yuan.

And this sick little Taoist priest was not part of the organization, so how did he know the Taoist name of his benefactor?
Qin Yu let out a long breath, and the broken threads in his heart were reconnected, and he suddenly felt like he had regained something.

Zhenren Zhou Yuan was a hidden stake planted by the Jiangzhou rebels in Xijing of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He is the number two figure in this secret organization.

His apprentice Gu Nanchao is number one.

Now both Zhou Yuan Zhenren and Gu Nanchao are dead.

Qin Yu originally thought that the network of hidden stakes in Jiangzhou had been cut off since then.

But now it seems that above No. [-] Gu Nanchao, there is an existence with a more secret identity.

The princess mentioned by the gloomy old mother, the beloved concubine beside Emperor Chaoyun, is someone who is superior to Gu Nanchao and Zhou Yuan!

That is to say, Jiangzhou's hidden stakes have not been cut off.

And even earlier, Gu Nanchao had already doubted himself.

Now that the princesses above Gu Nan Dynasty also doubted him, it made sense.
