I am the only devil in the whole world of cultivation

Chapter 145 Waiting for the person behind the scenes
Xie Zhengliu felt that something was wrong with Hengtian Sect.

The peaks in the distance are tightly covered by the sect-protecting formation, and there is no gap for people to enter or exit.

But something is clearly wrong.

Logically speaking, the Hengtian Sect's sect-protecting formation would only be activated when the sect encounters some serious event of annihilation, but now the world of cultivation seems to be calm on the surface.

Even if those who secretly want to destroy the four secret realms want to take action, they probably won't be the first to attack the most powerful sect among the three thousand.

In this way, if there was no invasion by foreign enemies, why would the sect-protecting formation be opened?

Xie Zhengliu couldn't think of an answer, but she was keenly aware that something was wrong.

She was glad that she did not choose to return to Hengtian Sect directly, but first inquired about the sect at the foot of the mountain before going to investigate.

Originally, Xie Zhengliu wanted to know whether Chen Lou and others would take the opportunity to cause trouble during his absence.If the other party blames her for Heyin's death, she can also take this opportunity to fight back.

After all, Xie Zhengliu was really tired of Chen Lou's targeting. She planned to hit the target with one strike and let the opponent rest for a while so that he wouldn't show up all the time.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lou's mistake was not caught, and instead he asked Xie Zhengliu to "see" the scene in front of him.

"Master, don't you plan to go in now?" Wuji urged from the side.

He had already known about Xie Zhengliu's sect situation on the way, and was waiting to return to Hengtian Sect with her so that he could meet Xie Zhengliu's current master.

After all, Xie Zhengliu was praised by his former master as a genius in swordsmanship. If he could teach such a genius, he should be pretty good at it.

Wuji had already thought about it. If that person was just a talker but had no ability, he would immediately urge Xie Zhengliu to join Luo Juying's sect!
However, after he followed Xie Zhengliu to the foot of Hengtian Sect Mountain, the other party just looked at the mountain gate in the distance with no intention of entering.

Not only Wuji, but also Quenching, who had been lying on Xie Zhengliu's shoulder, was a little confused.

Quenching is the name Xie Zhengliu gave to little Phoenix. His mother left too early and she didn't have time to give her only child a suitable name.

After Xie Zhengliu sought Xiao Fenghuang's opinion, he helped do it for him.

The little phoenix, who had only fine fur on his body, rubbed Xie Zhengliu's cheek and lowered his voice: "What's the matter? I don't see any dangerous atmosphere around."

"None of you feel the danger, but the sect-protecting formation is activated. That means that the danger does not come from the outside world, but from within the sect." Xie Zhengliu lowered his eyes and said.

Nowadays, apart from Chen Lou, who else within the sect would be detrimental to Hengtian Sect?

After thinking about this, Xie Zhengliu retreated silently. She could not let the people inside discover her existence.

Before he figured out what happened inside, Xie Zhengliu would not let others know that he was back alive.

Of course, except Yue Mingqiu and the other two.

……

Xie Zhengliu found a temporary place to stay in the city at the foot of Hengtian Zong Mountain. After she closed the doors and windows all around and pasted the talisman on the door to block out the prying eyes of her spiritual consciousness, she dared to send it to her two friends. information.It didn't take long for Zhuang Youqian to respond to her.

The two parties each hid in the safe place they had just found, and carefully conducted this long-lost conversation:
"You are really alive! We all thought you were dead." Zhuang Youqian's eyes were red. He looked at the shadow of Xie Zhengliu in mid-air. Although the man's face was still covered with a cloth, he could see her. Zhuang Youqian was thankful that he was safe and sound.

Yue Mingqiu was unhappy when he heard this: "Don't say such things!"

Zhuang Youqian slapped his mouth on the spot: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I won't say it anymore. After all, the most important thing now is to tell you about the rebellion that happened in the sect."

The two of them changed their previous relaxed expressions and looked at Xie Zhengliu seriously.

They told their companions all the information they knew without reservation, even the wooden puppet sent by Meng Fuwei to help them.

Xie Zhengliu's consciousness could not contact the wooden puppet through the communication talisman, but just from the descriptions of the two people, she could also understand that this gadget was probably not simple.

She has been a master and apprentice with Meng Fuwei for many years, and she didn't even know that her cheap master was capable of this.

Xie Zhengliu silently kept this in mind, and then continued to ask about the situation within the sect: "So now it seems that except for you and other fellow sects who are still in retreat, almost everyone has been used spirit powder?"

"That's right." Zhuang Youqian nodded, "This spirit powder is not something easy to obtain. Even we only found out about it through Master Meng. And he was originally a disciple of the Shangsanqian Lord Sect. He knew These are not surprising."

"What we are curious about is why Chen Lou and others have so much powder." Yue Mingqiu frowned, looking very confused.

According to the news that Meng Fuwei asked the wooden puppet to pass on, the spirit powder is something that only three thousand monks know about.And because of the disappearance of the loose spirit flower, the loose spirit powder has also become very expensive, and it is not accessible to ordinary people at all.

From this, the three people made many guesses.

Xie Zhengliu: "It seems that our elder Chen Lou has probably found a more powerful backer, so he will dedicate the branch of Hengtian Sect to him as a sincerity."

"Hiss, but even if our sect is taken away, it will not have much impact on the main sect." Zhuang Youqian has not seen many people from the main sect since he joined the sect for so long.

He didn't think that if something happened to the branch sect, the main sect would be hurt.And the main sect still has some strength after all, so the person behind the scenes can't really win against them, right?

These questions flashed through Zhuang Youqian's mind, and he couldn't figure out the reason why the other party did this.

But suddenly, Xie Zhengliu spoke again: "What if Chen Lou, with the help of that force, concealed the news about the incident in the branch sect?"

"The main sect does not have the strongest position in the Upper Three Thousand World, but in the Middle Three Thousand Realm, the branch sect is one of the most powerful sects. It can be said that both the Lower Three Thousand and Middle Three Thousand Countries are favored by Hengtian Sect. Miaozi are all gathered in this sect."

"The branch sect is a place that supplies talents to the main sect, and it is also a place that provides a steady stream of powerful blood to the main sect."

"Once this place becomes the territory of others, those who will be sent to the Three Thousand Lord Sect in the future and become the new batch of geniuses supported by the sect will only be those who are full of malice towards Hengtian Sect... spies!"

After the last two words came out of Xie Zhengliu's mouth, both Zhuang Youqian and Yue Mingqiu broke into a cold sweat.

Zhuang Youqian touched his face: "If it's like what you said, then maybe we should wait quietly for the man behind the scenes to come and receive the fruits of victory."
