I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 190 Who is the target of Mo Ren Lane?

In the 19th year of the Wanhe calendar, the third prince traveled eastward to the Thunderous Sea and sought support from Mo Renxiang and the Taoist sect. Emperor Longyan of Wanhe was greatly pleased and made the third prince the crown prince and granted amnesty to the world. The eighth prince, the original crown prince, disappeared inexplicably.

In the first year of Wanjingli, Emperor Wanjing personally led an army to annihilate Moren Lane, and the fairy beast Golden Arowana emerged from the sky to protect Daxing, thus starting a 48-year period of great prosperity.

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanjingli, the tomb of Emperor Wanhe suddenly shattered, causing a bloody storm.

In the forty-fifth year of Wanjingli, [Luohun Sand] was discovered in the mine. Huangquan Dao defected to it and began to refine Dao-breaking ghost generals, build immortal tombs, and plot against Daomen and Red Fox.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanjingli, the Changtianmen war broke out. The body of the Red Fox Demon King was shattered, the Golden Arowana was suppressed to the Immortal Tomb, the Daomen retreated to the East China Sea, and Daxing masters suffered heavy casualties, and the prosperous age ended.

In the fifty-eighth year of Wanjingli, the demon tribe launched an attack. King An raised his troops to rebel, and Daxing was in danger.

"In the same year, I joined the Tsing Yi Department, and I found out all these broken things one by one, and found the real culprit behind the scenes, who is our Lord Supervisor."

Cao An threw the file record in his hand on the coffee table.

Dean Wan looked at the records above and his voice trembled: "Are these all related to Jian Zheng?"

"Absolutely, because I'm too lazy to remember some of the little things, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have to talk here all night."

It is really terrible to see an old immortal who talks about taking care of himself every day, lies in bed with his eyes closed, and thinks about plans for great prosperity.

Dean Wan's face was full of disbelief: "Isn't this Moren Alley wiped out?"

"I didn't destroy it, so I came back for revenge. He was behind everything to refine the human bottle and reverse the bad luck."

Both King An and Emperor Wan Jing had used despicable methods. The two of them had a radius of eight liang, so Cao An was willing to let the father and son bite each other.

But Cao An, the culprit of everything in Moren Lane, was not going to let go.

He looked at the dean and asked aloud: "I remember you said, dean, that you participated in the annihilation battle of Mo Ren Lane, right?"

"Yes, I participated." Dean Wan's face was downcast, as if he was recalling past events.

"From the information I know, the strange secrets in Mo Ren Lane are many and terrifying. How did you destroy them?"

"We got accurate information and united with the Daomen to catch them all."

Dean Wan did not hide it. Things went smoothly that year, which was beyond expectation. So when Cao An said that he had not wiped out the whole thing, he hesitated a little.

Rumor has it that Emperor Wan Jing recognized an elder as his godfather, but eventually betrayed his godfather and joined forces with the Taoists to annihilate Mo Renxiang.

Because of this, the Daxing Dynasty gained the support of the Taoist sect and contracted with the Golden Arowana, in exchange for 48 years of great prosperity.

But the strange thing about this is that Mo Renxiang is very powerful and has been running rampant in the cultivation world for many years. Even Taoist sects can't deal with them.

Will an elder suddenly accept Emperor Wan Jing as his adopted son? Then you trust this outsider 100%, tell all the secrets and important matters, and finally get dumped?
  There are too many unreasonable things, and there must be something fishy about this matter.

Having said this, Jian Zheng also smiled slightly and sat down at the coffee table. Under Dean Wan's wary eyes, he calmly drank tea and chatted.

"Don't worry, I will die as soon as I die. I just want to talk to you."

Just die?
  What a weird answer. Cao An looked at him and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk, when did you start doubting me?"

"It started with Ye Siyi's case, and then when I met Jin Arowana, I guessed your identity. After the fight with King An, I was completely sure."

Cao An's three confirmations surprised Jian Zheng. He thought it was just a suspicion caused by a small missing link, but he didn't expect there to be so many loopholes.

You know, the Ye Siyi case was only the second time they had crossed paths, and there was also a flaw?
  "Of course it's a flaw. You, Si Tianjian, claim to be indifferent to worldly affairs and spend all your time taking care of your health. But you resolutely protect Ye Siyi's mother. How is your behavior different from that of Mu Bai? It's nothing more than a concept. You want to watch the excitement, I want to see a great uproar."

Ye Siyi's enemy was Uncle Guo, the Queen's biological brother. She herself was not confident enough to break Guo Shu's hand, so in the end she could only choose to commit suicide.

Why would a group of elderly people dare to take him in without hesitation?

Even Jian Zheng took the initiative to tell Ye Siyi the truth and encouraged Ye Siyi to investigate. Isn't this just making people angry?

"I've always been surprised. Ye Siyi came to you because he found the announcement of [Rising Star]. I can understand it. But how did she get in touch with Mu Bai? If I'm not mistaken, you were the one involved. Is it a bridge connection?"

After hearing this, Dean Wan also got angry!

"I see, you were the one who recommended Mubai to me back then, and you also persuaded me to open that Taoist temple. Everything was your plan!"

Mu Bai is just a female goblin. No matter how smart she is, it is not easy to start from scratch and stir up troubles in Shangjiang City.

Behind this, the help of external forces is indispensable, and this force is Mo Renxiang.

They not only support King An, but also support the demon clan.

Regarding such an accusation, Jian Zheng didn't even bother to deny it and smiled calmly: "Yes, I am helping the demon clan."

This frank answer made everyone frown.

If human beings are fighting and you get involved, I can assume that you are choosing sides and each is his own master.

But if you lead the demon clan to wreak havoc on humans, that would be really heinous.

"Everyone has their own purpose. I just used more extreme means. Cao An, you are very smart. One day, you will understand my intentions."

Jian Zheng showed no regret at all. He still looked at Cao An and asked, "Because I intervened in Ye Siyi's case, you suspected me, but how did you guess my identity later?"

"It's simple, because the Arowana refuses to say your name."

"Is this considered evidence?"

"Of course it counts, because I had already reached a cooperation with him at that time, and he would say everything I could. Why bother to help you hide it in Inkman Alley?"

There is no doubt that Arowana hated Daxing in his heart.

If Daxing and Mo Renxiang were to fight, there would definitely be a bloody storm, and Arowana would definitely be happy to see it. But it chose to conceal it, so naturally there was only one reason left. The envoy on Mo Renxiang was an acquaintance, and helping him conceal his identity would cause the Daxing Dynasty to suffer even greater losses.

"And that golden arowana actually has bad luck flowing from it. She said she cultivated it by herself. Haha, can you believe this?"

Mu Bai is a transformed demon clan, while Monkey King and Yujiu are obviously stronger, but they are still un-transformed demon clan. Why is there such a difference?
  This is all because Mu Bai moved into the Taoist library and practiced Taoist secrets in order to integrate into human beings, so he was able to transform.

On the other hand, Golden Arowana, who comes from a more orthodox Taoist sect, can't even transform. He clearly disdains the secrets of the human race. Will he learn the secrets of Moren Alley?
  "Obviously, it lied. Others helped him change those bad luck. And you are the only one who can do it."

Jian Zheng said he didn't care about worldly affairs, but after the battle at Changtianmen, he still helped Emperor Wan Jing set up the Immortal Tomb Formation.

The [Edict] given to Emperor Wan Jing was not out of kindness, but to allow him to hold a time bomb that could be detonated at any time;

At the same time, he also used formations to generate [bad luck], which could also help King An practice the "Hui Ren Jing" and plot to usurp the throne.

Look at the immortal tomb under the black slaves, suddenly turned into a hill and appeared in the world. It was obvious that he was a master of formations and reversed the base of the formation.

As Jian Zheng's unique formation "Luoluo Yin Yang Formation", it is difficult for even the senior sister to crack it. Who has the strength to forcibly reverse the formation without destroying it?

There is no doubt that there is only the organizer himself.

It can be said that what seems to be King An's rebellion plan today is actually Jian Zheng's plan behind the scenes.

"The first time the tomb of Emperor Wanhe burst open, it must have been your handiwork. Today, dozens of imperial tombs exploded at the same time, which is very similar to the scene back then!

"And the soul-calling flag used by King An, why does it look so similar to Senior Sister's Ten Thousand Ghosts Picture? They were both made by you? It's a good technique."

One or two coincidences were enough to make Cao An suspicious, let alone so many changes.

Jian Zheng's only mistake was to underestimate Cao An's ability. He didn't expect that he would be shameless and directly use sugar haws to deceive Xiao Jiu.

If not, Xiaojiu would not open the Huangquan Road to send them back and stop King An.

Not to mention going straight into the Immortal Tomb, giving Senior Sister the opportunity to dismantle the formation and have a face-to-face conversation with Arowana.

When Jian Zheng sensed that someone was breaking the formation inside the mountain, he knew that it was Cao An who had come after him. Even if he continued to stand in a stalemate, the Tsing Yi Department would violently smash the formation and nothing could stop him.

So I took the opportunity to give up and prevent myself from exposing my flaws.

However, he never thought that Cao An had been eyeing him for a long time and deliberately asked Mo Xiaoming to escort the officials to the academy. In fact, he wanted to monitor his movements.

Jian Zheng's second major mistake was naturally that he was too confident and failed to escape.

Thinking of this, Jian Zheng also had a look of helplessness on his face: "Everyone plays the game and wins or loses based on the situation. I never thought that you would come directly to catch me playing chess."

Indeed, Cao An is a very careless chess player.

The two emperors were still confronting each other in the distance, and there was still smoke everywhere in the city. The battle was not over at all.

However, Cao An suddenly gave up and rushed to the academy to arrest him directly. He surrounded him three times from the sky to the ground, and Jian Zheng was also quite helpless.

"Your guesses are basically correct, except for one thing."

"Where is wrong?"

"I'm not taking revenge on Daxing. That mere Emperor Wanjing is not taken seriously by us at all. In fact, we have never cooperated with him."

“Sure enough, there’s a story in it.”

Cao An's analysis was correct. Emperor Wan Jing was just a small prince, and even Daxing was just a small country.

He has no power, and if he wants to recognize a thief as his father or betray his father for glory, he has to queue up at the back. Mo Renxiang doesn't like him at all.

"So, it's a lie that you were wiped out?"

"Really, we were the ones who united with Dao Sect to eliminate him before and after he came to power, but he was just a foil, a lie he spread to the outside world in order to show off his merits and win over the people."

Mo Ren Lane has indeed suffered a disaster, but its foundation has not been cut off.

After a period of recuperation, they come back again, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

"It's just that I don't understand. Since the enemy is not Emperor Wan Jing, why do you work so hard to destroy Daxing?"

"Destroy Daxing? Haha! You take this too seriously."

Jian Zheng burst into laughter: "The Immortal Tomb has always been under my control. If I want to destroy Daxing, I can do it with my hands. My goal has never been Daxing, let alone Emperor Wanjing."

"Then what is your goal?"

"Didn't I tell you my goal?"

"Told me?" Cao An was stunned, and a strange thing suddenly flashed in his mind.

Before the late emperor abdicated and established the crown prince, there used to be an eighth prince, but that person's existence completely disappeared.

Cao An stood up excitedly: "Who is he? Are you forcing him to show up?"

Facing Cao An's question, Jian Zheng just showed him a sinister smile and muttered something in a low voice.

Just when Cao An wanted to ask more questions, the strange word "ink" in Jian Zheng's eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a pair of cloudy eyes.

Jian Zheng committed suicide in a strange way.

Cao An quickly pointed at his eyebrows and activated his last words skill, hoping to hear the last words clearly.

But these words made Cao An's hair stand on end.

[Cao An, welcome to join our chess game and look forward to our next meeting. 】
